Wuxia: An Immortal Taught Me Scientific Martial Arts Training

Chapter 8 Slaughtering Ten Thousand is the Greatest Hero

"And then what?"

"Then I spent three days and three nights, but in the end I was still unable to defeat them, and I could never set foot on the nameless island again."

However, I was not willing to give up, so I used the power of Crane Island to continuously help the Nameless Island.

Sometimes I even hired pirates myself to stage a fight and drive them away, just so I could get back to the nameless island.

Until recently, when Chief Lei invited me, I knew my opportunity had arrived.

Now that things had come to this, Wei Ziheng no longer concealed anything and revealed all his past with the nameless island.

The others listened and let it go in one ear and out the other. After all, whether these things would affect their plans was up to Lei Long to decide, and had nothing to do with them.

"Haha, then I, Lei, can say that I'm perfectly in sync with Island Master Wei, so why bother hiding it?"

Lei Long laughed heartily a few times and continued in a generous and magnanimous manner:

"Thanks to Island Master Wei's connections, we don't have to resort to violence now. But when it comes to breaking the traps, we'll still have to rely on Island Master Wei!"

"Of course."

When it comes to government agencies, Wei Ziheng is full of confidence.

"More than twenty years have passed, and I've studied mechanical contraptions day and night. This time, I'm absolutely confident!"

"Very good!"

Lei Long clapped and cheered, while the others laughed heartily upon seeing Wei Ziheng's confidence.

Only Xiao Xuan's smile inevitably carried a hint of bitterness.

What Lei Long just said meant that "there's no need to start a war now," which means he had already planned to take action against the villagers on the island?

Moreover, cracking the mechanism still depends on Wei Ziheng, so what if he fails?

Thinking this, Xiao Xuan looked at Mai Shuangji and saw that the other's gaze had also swept over him, as if he had also noticed something.

"Chief, what should we do if we can't crack the code within three days?"

Disguised as Zhang Qianyou, Mai Shuangji asked in a low voice, which made Lei Long laugh again.

"You're a wanted criminal, why are you worrying about the rules? Rules are for those prestigious sects, what do they have to do with us?"

"What does Chief Lei mean?"

Sha Peng was the first to ask a question. Despite his burly appearance, when it came to fighting back, he was one of the least ruthless among these people.

"Of course, it's to eliminate everyone who gets in our way," Wang Hong said coldly. "You don't think Chief Lei summoned us just to reap the benefits, do you?"

"As expected of the sect leader, Master Wang's vision is much broader than that of others."

Lei Long grinned, stood up, put his hands on his hips, and said:

"Since I'm promising you all such a great reward, naturally I expect your help. Not a single person in this village can be spared!"

Upon hearing this, everyone became serious.

"We're all in the same boat. None of you want the martial arts world to know you've obtained this treasure, and then you'll be hunted down by all the major sects, right?"

Lei Long's words struck a nerve with everyone. "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime." If the entire martial arts world knew that they had unlocked the legacy of the Ingenious Immortal, it would surely bring disaster upon them.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally all turned their attention to Wei Ziheng.

He's a regular on this island and knows the locals well. If you can't handle him...

"When will we make our move? That old woman Wen is quite skilled in martial arts; a direct confrontation might be difficult."

Wei Ziheng did not hesitate for a moment, his eyes revealing a ruthlessness that was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

"Everyone in this village is skilled in martial arts, and Chief Lei doesn't have enough men. I can't mobilize Crane Island disciples in three days. If you had informed me earlier..."

"Hey, Island Master Wei, don't be hasty." Lei Long was extremely confident. "We can't attack head-on, but we can outsmart them."

As he spoke, Lei Long took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket.

"As long as this medicine is put into the village's water source, it will be easy to take it down without any effort."

"Such a potent poison?"

Wang Hong revealed a sinister smile. If this plan succeeded, it would save them from a lot of danger.

"But we just don't know where the appropriate place to put this poison is?"

"Night is approaching. We should send a few skilled light-footed men to scout out the island."

Everyone agreed, and seeing this, Xiao Xuan immediately volunteered.

"Count me in for the Tianshan Sect's Snow-Treading Skill, which leaves no trace."

Xiao Xuan was naturally unwilling to help Lei Long harm people, but the opportunity to act freely was rare, and it was better to take the initiative than to wait to die.

"Count me in too."

Wang Hong sneered, but Lei Long immediately interrupted him:

"Brother Wang, perhaps it's best to decline. Have you forgotten what you two promised me?"

"snort."

After Wang Hong sat down, Mai Shuangji stood up.

"Chief, I'll go too."

"Alright." Lei Long readily agreed. "With Brother Gu also here, this island isn't particularly complicated. The three of you should be enough."

Xiao Xuan and the other two bowed to Lei Long, but Lei Long spoke to Xiao Xuan again in a serious tone.

"Brother Xiao, you know, a man who isn't ruthless can't stand firm. Which major sect doesn't have innocent blood on its hands?"

Xiao Xuan's eyes darted around, and he immediately understood Lei Long's meaning.

Zhang Qianyou is ostensibly a wanted criminal affiliated with Qianlang Village, while Gu Chuan Lizi is a Japanese pirate who knows Lei Long's true identity. He naturally trusts both of them.

Although Xiao Xuan's sect, the Tianshan Sect, has been extinct, it was a prestigious and righteous sect a hundred years ago. Lei Long naturally did not want Xiao Xuan to do anything that would harm the interests of everyone.

"Chief Lei is right. As long as I successfully rebuild the Tianshan Sect, no one will care what I did before. Killing one is a crime, but slaughtering ten thousand is heroism."

"Well said!"

The clapping hands that Lei Long approves of.

"The poem is cleverly quoted; it's from Emperor Taizu's 'A Man's Ballad,' which says that men should have the lofty ambitions of Emperor Taizu!"

Xiao Xuan was taken aback. This poem, "General's Command - A Man's Journey," was written by the modern poet "Qiu Sheng" from Blue Star, not by his great-grandfather, the emperor.

He was only 95% confident before, but now he is 100% certain that the founding emperor was a time traveler.

The ingenious immortal who came down the mountain with him was undoubtedly a time traveler as well.

"Alright, alright, we all know you're all fine men."

Lei Long was still lost in thought when Madam Lei behind him interrupted him.

"It's getting late, let's hurry and get them ready."

"That's true!"

"As for us, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night as we need to have Island Master Wei explain the mystery of this mechanism."

...

late at night.

Xiao Xuan, Mai Shuangji, and Gu Chuan Lizi also prepared to begin their operation.

Before this, the three had made preparations and identified the islanders who were keeping watch near the beach.

"These islanders didn't deliberately hide themselves; that should be all there is to it."

"The flaws are quite significant; they shouldn't be able to detect us."

"Then let's proceed according to plan. Brother Zhang, go find the village, while Brother Gu and I will split up and explore the island."

After confirming everything, the three disappeared from the deck.

Riko Furukawa's true purpose was not to scout ahead, but to deliver a message to her companions in Fusang.

Xiao Xuan knew about this, and Mai Shuangji had some suspicions.

Mai Shuangji's real purpose was not to scout ahead, but to pass on a message to his McDonald's colleagues.

Xiao Xuan knew about this, but Furukawa Riko knew nothing about it.

Although Xiao Xuan knew that both of them had their own purposes, there was one thing he didn't understand.

"I finally got out, where am I supposed to go?"
