Chapter 13 - Establishing Prestige

As soon as Fang Lin activated his internal energy, the Wudang Eight Treasures Stance was immediately activated. In just a few steps, he reached the center of the Wudang Sect. At this moment, all the disciples of the Wudang Sect had gathered, including the lay disciples.

Fang Lin calculated slightly. The lay disciples could definitely deal with those five people at the Early Stage of the Mortal Realm. As for the three people at the Mid - Stage of the Mortal Realm, he could deal with two of them. Sanquan, Sanxin, Song Yuanqiao, and Yu Lianzhou should be able to deal with one of them. As for the two people at the Late Stage of the Mortal Realm, he wasn't sure if Yu Daiyan, who was at the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm, could handle them. But he thought it should be possible.

When the leading person saw Fang Lin appear, he said, "I'm Niu Kui, the second leader of Tianlin Stockade. You protected Long Yang..."

Before he could finish, Fang Lin said, "This is a sacred place protected by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable and cannot be violated. All disciples of the Wudang Sect, defend the honor of the Wudang Sect!"

At this moment, everyone had a new understanding of this Headmaster Sanfeng. When facing a fight, he was completely different and instantly showed a bit of domineering presence!

Niu Kui was a bit annoyed when he heard this. This was a blow to his face. A big battle was on the verge of breaking out!

Niu Kui didn't plan to fight so soon. He didn't know how strong this young headmaster was. But seeing his confident appearance, it seemed that he had some trump card. However, he hadn't heard that this person was a master before, and he had only gained some fame recently.

They were all bandits and mountain thieves, and they didn't take the Taoist sect and the protection of the Heavenly Venerable seriously. The reason why Chen Xiong didn't take action before was that he was afraid of the strong strength of this Taoist priest. But after recent investigations, it seemed that this Taoist priest didn't have much strength.

Next, a tense atmosphere filled the entire Wudang Sect. No one dared to take the lead in making a move. As for the pilgrims, they all stood far away. They didn't dare to get too close when martial artists fought.

Fang Lin unsheathed his long sword and hung the Zhanlu Sword behind his back, looking like a master. After all, he wasn't sure if he could win. And he had always been able to create the image of a master. He needed to maintain his mystery. Only he himself knew his true strength, and also the monk Yijie knew. At this moment, he didn't want to act rashly.

Fang Lin took a look at the Zhanlu Sword in his hand, gritted his teeth, and stepped forward. He decided to take a gamble. The key was to see the power of the Zhanlu Sword!

Fang Lin said, "I am the Headmaster of the Wudang Sect. The Wudang Sect is still developing at this moment, and this matter happened because of me. Naturally, I will solve everything myself. You, come at me together."

Fang Lin was deliberately putting on an act at this moment. Niu Kui didn't dare to act rashly either. Since this Taoist priest asked them to attack together, instead, he became afraid. So, he sent a person at the Mid - Stage of the Mortal Realm forward to fight and test the depth of this Taoist priest.

Fang Lin smiled slightly. It seemed that things were developing as he had expected. At this moment, he had to use tough means to defeat this big man at the Mid - Stage of the Mortal Realm, and then everything could develop according to his expected track.

The bandit swung his big knife to the ground and then rushed forward with the knife, slashing towards Fang Lin.

Fang Lin slid his steps, and the Wudang Eight Treasures Stance was immediately activated by him. He was as slippery as an eel, and the bandit couldn't hit him no matter what. Fang Lin's steps were steady, and each step had many changes. Although the Wudang Eight Treasures Stance was a basic move, once practiced to the realm of great mastery, it still had some power.

Seeing that he couldn't hit Fang Lin at all, the bandit became angry and shouted, "You stinky Taoist priest, you only know how to dodge. Do you dare to fight me head - on!"

Fang Lin smiled slightly and ignored him. As he walked, he said, "Boundless Heavenly Venerable. I, as a Taoist priest, cherish the virtue of being merciful and don't want to hurt you. You should retreat quickly."

The big man was a bandit and had a tough temper. Naturally, he wouldn't retreat like this.

Fang Lin slightly shook his head and put on an air of being a superior person who didn't want to argue with them, but they kept making things difficult for him. Finally, Fang Lin made a move.

Fang Lin swung the Zhanlu Sword in his hand, and the scabbard immediately flew out and hit the bandit's knee. The bandit immediately felt the pain and knelt down on one knee. Fang Lin stopped and chanted "Boundless Heavenly Venerable" again, looking like a superior person.

The bandit gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his knee, and swung the big knife towards Fang Lin's head.

Fang Lin was a bit angry now. This big man actually wanted to kill him directly!

The Zhanlu Sword in Fang Lin's hand finally showed its true power for the first time. Fang Lin channeled his Pure Yang internal energy into the Zhanlu Sword. The mysterious patterns on the Zhanlu Sword flashed with golden light, and sword qi was immediately generated.

Niu Kui was shocked. The release of sword qi was the strength that could only be possessed at the Innate Realm. This young Taoist priest was actually a master at the Innate Realm. How could this be possible? There had never been anyone at the Innate Realm in the entire Danjiang County!

Fang Lin was also surprised at this moment. After injecting the internal energy, the Zhanlu Sword seemed to release sword qi, which was a sign of the Innate Realm, the external release of internal energy. Fang Lin smiled slightly. This was exactly what he wanted.

With just one strike of the sword, the big knife was cut in half by the Zhanlu Sword. No one heard the sound of metal clashing. What did this mean? It meant that Fang Lin cut the big knife so easily, just like cutting tofu.

Everyone didn't focus their thoughts on the sword. After all, the sword didn't look sharp and had a simple and unsophisticated appearance. It didn't look like a precious sword at all. So, there was only one explanation, that is, Fang Lin had really released sword qi, and his strength was extremely powerful, reaching the powerful Innate Realm, the Innate Realm that could be invincible in Danjiang County!

Fang Lin didn't plan to kill him. After all, he was now a Taoist priest and the headmaster of a sect. How could he kill someone easily? Fang Lin slightly turned the Zhanlu Sword around and gently hit the bandit with the handle of the sword, which contained the essence of the Flower Fist. The bandit was immediately sent flying and fell into a coma, but he didn't suffer any serious injuries, just a shock.

Seeing that Fang Lin didn't seem to care about them, Niu Kui quickly asked his subordinates to carry the big man on their backs and said to Fang Lin, "Taoist Priest Sanfeng, your martial arts are extremely powerful. We... Taoist Priest Sanfeng, you are magnanimous and don't care about us. We will leave immediately now. Tianlin Stockade will definitely not be an enemy of the Wudang Sect in the future."

After saying that, they left quickly, as if they were afraid that Fang Lin would change his mind. This was the Innate Realm! They were no match for this person at all.

The pilgrims also kept saying that Taoist Priest Sanfeng had high martial arts skills. They had even more respect for the Wudang Sect and offered more incense. The money for the incense also increased.

Fang Lin knew that he had established his prestige at this moment. Even Yu Daiyan, who was at the Great Perfection of the Mortal Realm, thought that Fang Lin was at the Innate Realm and admired him. The strength of the headmaster was really great. Sanquan and the others didn't think too much about it. It was normal for the headmaster to be strong. The headmaster was a person protected by the Boundless Heavenly Venerable, so how could his strength be poor?

Instead, everyone felt lucky. They had originally thought there would be a tough battle, but it was solved so easily. And since the headmaster was so powerful, could they learn advanced martial arts in the future? Everyone thought so.

Fang Lin also felt lucky. He had originally just wanted to defeat the person at the Mid - Stage of the Mortal Realm with one strike of the sword to intimidate them. He didn't expect to create the illusion of being at the Innate Realm. This time, he really owed it to the Zhanlu Sword. It was indeed the leader of the five great peerless swords!

Every day after that, some sects in Danjiang County came to visit and send gifts. Tianlin Stockade even sent a generous gift. Vaguely, although the Wudang Sect didn't have the strength to be the number one sect in Danjiang County yet, it had the prestige of the number one sect. The Wudang Sect is developing at this moment. I, as a Taoist priest, am looking at the new book list and think I should give it a try next week. What do fellow Taoists think?
