Chapter 654: Lending a Hand
Ren Woxing snorted irritably. “Ask him yourself. I came to the Henan branch to eliminate those within the cult who had been bought by the Ming Cult. Who would’ve thought I’d run into this guy? As soon as he found out who I was, he attacked without a second thought.”
Seeing Song Qingshu’s questioning gaze, Jiumozhi couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “Little junior brother, you know my greatest pleasure is seeking out strong opponents for duels. Back in the Forbidden City, I was defeated by Dongfang Bubai. After returning to Tibet, I secluded myself and trained diligently, believing my martial arts had greatly improved. I wanted to challenge Dongfang Bubai again and reclaim my honor, only to later find out that he had already been dethroned by this Master Ren and had disappeared. Since Ren Woxing was capable of defeating Dongfang Bubai, his skills must be extraordinary. Fighting him would be just as good. But I worried he might refuse, so I struck first to force his hand.”
“Little junior brother?” Ren Woxing was surprised by Jiumozhi’s way of addressing Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu smiled wryly. “Back in Tibet, I once learned the esoteric teachings passed down by Lotus Sage at the Nyingma Temple. In a way, I can indeed be considered the Great Monk’s junior brother.”
A glint of surprise flashed in Ren Woxing’s eyes. No wonder Song Qingshu possessed such terrifying martial prowess at such a young age—his encounters were truly extraordinary. He had even learned the supreme arts of Tantric Buddhism.
Song Qingshu then introduced, “Maha Cakra Vajra, this is my father-in-law, Ren Woxing, the current Cult Master of the Sun Moon Holy Cult.”
Jiumozhi thought to himself, ‘Every time I see you, you’re surrounded by different beauties. Now you’ve even become Ren Woxing’s son-in-law? No wonder Master taught you the Joyful Meditation Method.’
Jiumozhi clasped his hands together and greeted respectfully, “I am Jiumozhi, honored to meet Master Ren. Your Cosmic Absorption Technique truly lives up to its reputation—I am deeply impressed. I apologize for any offense earlier and hope you will forgive me.”
Ren Woxing’s expression eased slightly, and he quickly responded, “Your Flaming Blade Art is also remarkable. I am humbled in comparison.”
