"Oh, Master! There's something I want to ask you!" Li Changfeng suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Oh? What is it? Tell me."
Suddenly, Li Changfeng transformed into a burly, imposing man and asked solemnly, "Master! Can you detect my true form now?"
Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger suddenly scanned Li Changfeng and said solemnly, "Your disguise is quite skillful! I couldn't detect any of your previous aura at all!"
"If that's the case, then how did they know my identity and come to hunt me down?" Li Changfeng stroked his chin, puzzled.
"What? Someone is chasing you!! Who is it! Is it someone from the Imperial Court?" The Hall Master of Subduing Tiger roared in fury.
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng shook his head. "No! It was people from the evil sects! They ambushed me suddenly three miles outside of Shaolin Temple, when I was still in disguise!"
"What! There are still remnants of the heretical sect! It seems I have to talk to the people at the Wind and Rain Pavilion! Did they discover your true identity somewhere?"
"No! I've never used my true form since I entered the capital; I've always used an disguise!"
The Hall Master of Subduing Tiger pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "With your disguise skills, it would be difficult to distinguish you from anyone below the Xiantian Realm. If it were such an expert, you would have no chance of returning. People of the evil path usually have many unorthodox and unorthodox methods. Perhaps they have some kind of tracking method!"
"If they can track me down, why did they have to make their move three miles away from Shaolin Temple? I had plenty of opportunities during this time away. Wasn't he afraid I could risk my life to escape back to Shaolin?"
The Hall Master of Subduing Tiger nodded. "What you said makes sense! There's no reason to wait until here to make a move!"
Suddenly, the Hall Master of Subduing Tiger had a flash of inspiration and quickly said, "Jue Kong, kid! Did you make a move somewhere and someone tracked you down by following the clues?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng's eyes lit up. "That's it! I killed a few bandits before I came back. I killed them with brute force. I guess that's how they found me!"
The Hall Master of Subduing Tiger nodded upon hearing this. "It seems so. You're probably being watched now. It's best to disguise yourself when you go out in the future, and you should clean up the mess after you kill someone!"
"Fine! I'll never give them another chance!"
"Alright! Go back and rest for a bit. I'll explain the Southern Emperor's matter to my Abbot brother, the abbot, and ask him for a reward for you!"
Li Changfeng's eyes lit up upon hearing this, "Hahaha! Thank you very much, Master!"
The next morning.
Li Changfeng got up early, washed up, and slowly walked around the Subduing Tiger Hall. Suddenly, he saw two figures coming from the front. They were Golden Arhat and Dong Tianbao.
The two men gave Li Changfeng a big hug, and Golden Arhat laughed, "You've been really busy, haven't you! You went out without a word after coming back for a short while, and you're only just getting back now!"
"Sigh! I have no choice! I'm the one who's capable, so I have to do more. There's an urgent task for me, and no one else can do it but me, so I have to bite the bullet and do it!"
Hearing Li Changfeng's sarcastic remarks, Dong Tianbao became furious and punched him hard in the chest. "You brat! Can you stop with that sarcastic tone! We know you're powerful, but that's fine!"
Li Changfeng chuckled, "That goes without saying!"
Golden Arhat smiled helplessly, "When are you going to the Subduing Dragon Hall? We've already entered the Subduing Dragon Hall, don't fall behind us!"
"What! You've all gotten into the Subduing Dragon Hall! No way! I have to go in right now!"
After saying that, Li Changfeng was about to go to the Subduing Dragon Hall for the assessment when Dong Tianbao forcefully stopped him. "Don't rush! You don't need to go for the assessment. We're here to tell you that you are already a disciple of the Subduing Dragon Hall, and also to take you to see the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon!"
Li Changfeng was slightly surprised upon hearing this, "What's going on?"
Dong Tianbao kept everyone in suspense, then chuckled, "Hehe! You'll see when you get there!"
Subduing Dragon Hall.
At this moment, Dong Tianbao led Li Changfeng to the location of the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon. "The Hall Master of Subduing Dragon is waiting for you inside. Go on!"
After saying that, the two of them slowly walked away, leaving Li Changfeng completely bewildered.
Li Changfeng gave a wry smile and slowly walked into the main hall. He saw that the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon had his back to him. After sensing Li Changfeng's arrival, he turned around and said, "You've come! Come and sit down here!"
Li Changfeng slowly sat down to the side, and asked in confusion, "Hall Master of Subduing Dragon! What do you need me for?"
The Hall Master of Subduing Dragon took out a set of white monk's robes and a golden token and tossed them to Li Changfeng, saying slowly, "You are now a disciple of the Subduing Dragon Hall. This token and monk's robes are proof of your discipleship in the Subduing Tiger Hall!"
Li Changfeng looked at this and found that the clothes were soft, comfortable and tough, not so easy to break. Then he also found that the token had an initial engraved on it.
"What is this token...?"
Upon hearing this Hall Master of Subduing Dragon sighed, "This token represents the chief disciple of the Subduing Tiger Hall! Your strength is already enough to make you the chief disciple. Juehai... is no longer your match. I have to say I'm really a little jealous of that kid, Fu Hu, for being able to take you as a disciple!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng scratched his head. "Hall Master of Subduing Dragon! You flatter me! This is nothing. Where is Senior Brother Juehai? I haven't seen him in a long time!"
The Hall Master of Subduing Dragon waved his hand dismissively. "He's in seclusion. You don't need to call him senior brother anymore. You're already the senior brother of the Subduing Dragon Hall!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a bitter smile, "Juehai... alright?"
"Don't worry! Juehai isn't that petty. Your presence will only motivate him to work harder!"
"Oh right! I almost forgot what Fu Hu asked me to do. Here you go!" The Hall Master of Subduing Dragon took out a box and handed it to Li Changfeng.
Seeing this, Li Changfeng slowly opened the box and found a bead inside. As soon as Li Changfeng held it in his hand, he felt a sense of clarity in his mind, and all his troubled thoughts were driven away, leaving him feeling refreshed!
Li Changfeng asked in surprise, "This is...?"
Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon said enviously, "These are Buddhist Beads blessed by our Abbot brother. They contain over a hundred years of Buddhist teachings from him. Wearing them can dispel inner demons and stabilize the mind!"
Li Changfeng was extremely surprised to hear this. He thought to himself, "The inner demon is a problem that even those at the Grandmaster level and above face. I never expected that the Abbot would give him such a treasure!"
At the same time, I wondered, is my mission really that important? Is it worth giving up such a precious treasure just for this small request?
Then Li Changfeng slowly said, "I would like to thank the Abbot and the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon in person! Could you please convey my gratitude to them?"
Upon hearing this, the Hall Master of Subduing Dragon waved his hand, "No need! My Abbot brother, the abbot, has already gone into seclusion. He told me that you don't need to thank him, just focus on your cultivation!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng nodded, "Hall Master of Subduing Dragon! If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"
The Hall Master of Subduing Dragon nodded. "You may take your leave now! Newcomers to the Subduing Dragon Hall can exchange their skills for a Superior Martial Skill at Hongchen's place. Also, as the chief disciple, you will be rewarded with a Superior Martial Skill as well!"
