The world reincarnates, each time a new talent!

218: Location of the martial arts conferenceInformation regarding Shi Potian’s appearance and other details had long been known to the people of the Jianghu.

And the speed at which news spread across the Jianghu was far faster than people could travel.

Therefore, when Shi Potian arrived at another location with Bai Axiu, they were quickly recognized.

”May I ask, are you Young Hero Gou and Miss Bai?”

As soon as they arrived at the inn, someone came forward to ask.

”How do you know us?” Shi Potian asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, the group laughed and said, ”Young Hero’s great name is now known to everyone; naturally, we have heard of you long ago.”

”It is said that Young Hero can exchange dozens of moves with Headmaster Yue of the Huashan Sect, and we are truly full of admiration, which is why we have come forward to disturb you.”

”You flatter me. Headmaster Yue did not use his full strength; otherwise, I fear I would not have lasted ten moves. If you are also here to ask me to participate in the Martial Arts Assembly and compete for the position of Martial Arts Alliance Leader, I suggest you say no more.”

”I have absolutely no interest in the position of Martial Arts Alliance Leader, and even if I went up, it would only be courting humiliation.”

Shi Potian said directly, without any concealment.

”Young Hero, please do not be so humble. With your strength, you will surely become famous throughout the Jianghu, and when the time comes, all our Schools will support you to become the Martial Arts Alliance Leader.”

Someone stood up and said loudly.

”Indeed, the Martial Arts Alliance Leader does not necessarily have to be the person with the highest martial arts skills; what is even more valuable is their character. We observe that Young Hero possesses a heart of chivalry and acts with benevolence, kindness, and moderation. If Young Hero could become the Martial Arts Alliance Leader, it would be a blessing for the entire Jianghu.”

”Well said! This is what a true candidate for Martial Arts Alliance Leader should look like.”

”Doesn’t Yue Buqun say he wants to rectify the atmosphere of the Martial Forest? But I see his methods as being even more extreme than those of Zuo Lengchan in the past. If such a person becomes the Martial Arts Alliance Leader and is responsible for rectifying the Martial Forest, I fear it will just be another campaign to eliminate dissent. When that time comes, those who follow him will prosper and those who resist will perish; who knows how many heroes will die under his butcher’s knife.”

”We implore Young Hero, for the sake of the Righteous Path of the Martial Forest and to promote justice, you must prevent Yue Buqun from becoming the Martial Arts Alliance Leader!”

As he spoke, the person who had been speaking suddenly knelt on one knee before Shi Potian, his expression serious and heavy. Seeing this, the others immediately reacted and knelt down one after another.

At the same time, they said, ”Yes, Young Hero, the future of the Martial Forest and the peace of the Martial Forest now depend entirely on you. We hope Young Hero will consider this carefully!”

”We will anxiously await Young Hero ascending to the Supreme position!”

Faced with this situation, Shi Potian was at a loss for what to do for a moment.

He was not afraid of people being tough with him; that would be clear-cut, and he wouldn’t need to worry.

But he was most afraid of this kind of situation.

It left him not knowing what to do.

Faced with this situation, he couldn’t just hurt them, could he?

”Seniors, you are the true Seniors. No matter how this Martial Arts Alliance Leader is chosen, it is not my place as a Junior to step forward. I ask you all to please rise quickly.”

Shi Potian had no choice but to speak kindly.

He lifted his hands, and an invisible force lifted everyone present.

Some were unwilling and wanted to resist, continuing to kneel, but they soon discovered that they could not resist at all, as if there was a stone under their knees lifting them up.

In the end, they could only stand up.

But this display left everyone present shocked, and then their hearts settled.

”It seems the rumors in the Jianghu are true. To be able to lift so many people present simultaneously—such Internal Energy is truly unique in this Jianghu. Even Great Master Fang Zheng of Shaolin or Daoist Chongxu of Wudang would likely find it beyond their capabilities.”
