188: Xiao Yuanshan, the murderer from back then, was furious.

However, he always felt that the figure of this man in black was somewhat familiar, yet he couldn't recall where he had seen him.

Xiao Yuanshan's appearance drew everyone's attention; they were all curious as to who this man in black actually was.

"Heh, Monk, does this person's back look familiar to you?"

"Since you bald donkeys are being shameless today and acting like rogues here with this Prince..."

"Very well, today this Prince will let all our Jianghu comrades see the true faces of you so-called martial arts pillars, your Buddhist Holy Land, and your 'attained' high Monks." Duan Zhengchun looked at Monk with a playful expression.

Hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, Monk's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

A bad premonition rose from the depths of his heart.

Could it be that this man in black was the source of Duan Zhengchun's confidence?

"Prince Duan, it's already come to this; no matter what excuses you find, they are useless."

"You had better obediently hand over the heavenly demon zither. This old monk can still grant you some dignity; otherwise, when This old monk is forced to act, you won't even have the chance to regret it," Monk said coldly.

"Monk, do you know what it means to kill someone and destroy their heart?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Monk with a cold smile on his lips.

"Kill someone and destroy their heart? What do you mean?" Monk's expression changed as he stared intently at Duan Zhengchun.

Duan Zhengchun did not answer Monk, merely giving him a cold glance.

"Everyone, you must be very curious about who this masked man is, right?"

"Xiao Yuanshan, let everyone see your true face," Duan Zhengchun said.

As Duan Zhengchun's voice fell, Xiao Yuanshan directly removed his mask. Immediately, a man around thirty years old with a face marked by the vicissitudes of life appeared before the crowd.

It was indeed Xiao Yuanshan.

When they heard the name Xiao Yuanshan, Monk's face changed drastically, as did the faces of several others.

In particular, the faces of Zhao Qiansun, Master Tan, Mistress Tan, and Shan Zheng all changed significantly.

Each of them looked at Xiao Yuanshan with faces full of disbelief.

And in the distance, there was another man in black hidden in the shadows; when he saw Xiao Yuanshan, his eyes suddenly constricted.

"Xiao Yuanshan? How is this possible? How can you still be alive? Didn't you already jump off the cliff to commit suicide? How can you still be alive?"

"No, things are about to be exposed. I can't stay here any longer."

After the man in black finished speaking, he turned to leave.

However, just as he was about to turn around, he discovered to his horror that his entire body was actually unable to move, and he couldn't even circulate his Internal Energy.

This man in black was none other than Murong Bo, who had faked his death years ago to deceive everyone.

At the same time, a voice rang out in his ear.

"Since you've come, don't be in such a hurry to leave. If you leave, how will this play continue?"

Hearing the voice in his ear, Murong Bo's face changed drastically.

It's over, it's all over now. If I had known, I wouldn't have come.

Now that I can't even move, I can only stay here and wait.

"Eh, who is this person? Xiao Yuanshan? I've never heard this name before!"

"Xiao Yuanshan? I think I've heard this name. He seems to be the Chief Instructor of the Liao Kingdom's personal army. The Xiao clan is a great clan in the Liao Kingdom, the lineage of the Empress."

"But what does Prince Duan mean by bringing such a person out? Could it be that the Kingdom has formed an Alliance with the Liao Kingdom?"

"That's not clear. Won't we know if we just wait and see?"

"Monk, how is it? Does he look familiar? After not seeing him for many years, do you still recognize this person?" Duan Zhengchun looked at Monk with a smile.

"You..."

"How is this possible? Weren't you already dead? How can you still be alive?" Monk looked at Xiao Yuanshan in shock.

"You know me?" Xiao Yuanshan's eyes narrowed as he stared intently at Monk.

Only those who were present at the event back then knew the cause of his 'death'. For Monk to react like this, could it be that he was also present back then?

"I don't know you..."

"Duan Zhengchun, don't think you can just pull out any random person to slander This old monk. How can the reputation of Shaolin Temple allow you to defame it so?" Monk said angrily.

"Whether it is slander or not, you will know very soon."

"Xiao Yuanshan, in the battle of Yanmen Pass back then, many Masters of the Central Plains Martial Forest besieged your family, and your clansmen and wife died tragically."

"Most of the participants were killed by you at the time, but a few still survived."

"However, at that time, you simply had no mind to care about them."

"With your wife and clansmen dead, and even your son who had just turned a year old showing no signs of life, you jumped off the cliff with your wife and child in despair."

"As it happened, at that moment, your son woke up. However, it was already too late to go back up, so you casually tossed your son onto the cliff."

"He happened to land in the arms of one of those people. This person was a Monk of Shaolin Temple, now known as Great Master Zhiguang."

"Meanwhile, you fell down the cliff with your wife. But by chance, you were caught by a large tree. It was at that moment you thought of your son and the blood feud of your wife and clansmen, so you began your plan for revenge."

"But since those people were all masked, you didn't know who they were and could only investigate bit by bit based on the martial arts they used at the time."

"Tell this Prince, what have you discovered over these years?" Duan Zhengchun looked at the stunned Xiao Yuanshan.

He hadn't expected Duan Zhengchun to know the events of that year so clearly, as if he had been present at the scene.

But judging by his age, it was simply impossible.

Then how on earth did he know these things?

Monk's entire face turned pale, and several others present looked as ashen as death.

Since Duan Zhengchun could be so clear about the events of that year, he must certainly know their identities as well.

"Prince Duan is indeed truly divinely capable to know the events of that year so clearly."

"That's right, all these years this old man has been investigating in secret, and through these years of investigation, I have indeed found some information."

"The identities of those people are not simple, but I still cannot be certain who they are," Xiao Yuanshan said.

"Well, actually, your enemies are right here at the scene."

"And the person who led those people back then was none other than the Shaolin Abbot, Monk."

"As for the others: Iron-Faced Judge Shan Zheng, Master Tan and Mistress Tan, Zhao Qiansun, Great Master Zhiguang of Mount Wutai, and also, the Beggars Sect Leader Wang Jiantong," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.

"What? Monk? It was you?" Xiao Yuanshan suddenly turned to look at Monk, his eyes bursting with intense killing intent.

"Absurd! Duan Zhengchun, do you think you can slander me out of thin air based on your words alone?" Monk said angrily.

"Slander? Monk, you probably don't know yet, do you? Although Xiao Yuanshan is a Liao person, his Master was a Han Chinese."

"He is very clear about the martial arts you used back then; the one he remembers most vividly is Shaolin martial arts."

"You say this Prince is slandering you, but the victim is right here. He shouldn't be mistaken, right?" Duan Zhengchun sneered.

Duan Zhengchun's words were very clear; how could Xiao Yuanshan not understand? He immediately attacked Monk.

Monk reacted instantly. Both were contemporary Masters, and back then, Xiao Yuanshan was already in the Grandmaster Realm.

Now he was even at the Half-Step Great Grandmaster Realm. Although Monk was powerful, he was only at the Grandmaster Realm Middle Stage.

It wasn't that his Aptitude was poor, but simply because some matters had delayed his Cultivation.

He dealt with Shaolin's mundane affairs every day, and furthermore, he had to find time to meet his lover.
