Chapter 71 New Events
After the flattery and praise ended, Xie Juxia said to Huang Hong, "Go sit over there first. After this meeting is over, I will take you to see your two senior brothers."
Huang Hong respectfully agreed and then sat down in the corner of the room.
The meeting continued, and through the discussion, Huang Hong understood the theme of the meeting.
In the original setting of Fist of the North Star, it was first established by the Liu family, combining internal martial arts, pressure point techniques, and assassination techniques to create an extremely powerful assassination martial art.
The Hokuto Shinken school emphasizes "stopping killing with killing," and they prevent wars by assassinating powerful feudal lords.
Of course, Hokuto Shinken was good and righteous in its early days, but as time went on, personal desires continued to grow, and Hokuto Shinken eventually evolved into a powerful assassination martial art that threatened those in power and hid behind the scenes to control everything.
Now, there are signs of this happening. It is said that a branch of the Hokuto Shinken lineage has taken control of a local lord through cruel means and is attempting to use this lord to wage war and seize more power and benefits.
Nanto Seiken, whose mission is to save all living beings, could not stand by and watch such a thing happen, and had to intervene.
However, as the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest. Given the size of the Nanto Seiken, the various schools within it are naturally of varying quality, and there are quite a few extremely wicked individuals. In order to prevent some people from colluding with external enemies and causing the news to leak out, they took advantage of this Hundred Alliances Conference to discuss matters related to defeating the enemy.
The three extra people in the room were the secret subordinates sent by that feudal lord.
Huang Hong felt that he was really lucky to enter the Time-Space Echo this time. He encountered such a rare event as the Hundred Alliances Conference right at the beginning, and then immediately heard about the Fist of the North Star.
Just as Huang Hong was pondering how to get involved in this matter, the small meeting was drawing to a close.
Xie Juxia's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "In that case, we will proceed as agreed in five days. General Xiao, General Guo, Mr. Chen, and Lord Hou, please make preparations as soon as possible."
The three men stood up, clasped their hands in a salute to everyone present, and then quickly left, with the others also dispersing one after another.
Xie Juxia looked at Huang Hong and smiled, "Let's go, your two senior brothers should be back soon."
Huang Hong followed behind Xie Juxia. He looked at the venue of the Hundred Alliances Association and noticed that some factions had left, but many others chose to stay, continue to make friends, and expand their network.
Soon, Huang Hong and Xie Juxia arrived at the temporary accommodations set up for the Hundred Alliances, and the two stopped outside the largest room.
Before Huang Hong could knock, the door opened by itself, and a burly middle-aged man laughed and said, "Master, you're back."
Inside the room, another man who had been sitting at the table drinking tea also got up and came over, greeting him, "Master."
He then looked at Huang Hong with some confusion and asked, "Who is this?"
Xie Juxia led Huang Hong into the house and then introduced him, saying, "This is your junior brother Huang Hong, who is also my last disciple. You two should take care of each other from now on."
The two were startled and immediately agreed. At the same time, they couldn't help but scrutinize Huang Hong, wanting to see what kind of magic he possessed that made him their master's last disciple.
At this point, Xie Juxia continued his introduction, pointing to the burly man who opened the door and saying, "This is your second senior brother, Li Yong." Then he pointed to another person: "This is your eldest senior brother, Xing Yu."
After the three got to know each other, Xie Juxia said, "As you heard, I have some important matters to attend to recently. I will only be able to teach you after I finish dealing with those matters. For the next few days, you will follow your two senior brothers and let them teach you some basic things. In addition, I will also have someone send over some classic texts of various schools of martial arts for you to refer to."
"Yes!" Huang Hongxian responded, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Master, may I participate in this matter?"
Xie Juxia chuckled and said, "I knew you would ask that, but we'll talk about it later. You should learn something from your two senior brothers first. Also, take a look at the things I sent. If you still want to join in three days, I will give you a little test. If you pass the test, I will allow you to participate."
"By the way, I've already sent someone to inform your grandfather, so you don't need to worry."
Huang Hong nodded and said, "Yes, Master, I will not let you down."
Xie Juxia smiled and nodded, gestured to his two disciples, and then turned and left.
After Xie Juxia left, Xing Yu and Li Yong visibly relaxed. Xing Yu said, "Junior Brother, from now on we're family, so don't be shy."
Li Yong asked curiously, "Junior brother, how did you become Master's last disciple? Tell me about it."
Huang Hong readily agreed and recounted his performance that day, as well as the story of how Xie Juxia accepted him as a disciple, without exaggerating or being overly modest.
After listening, Xing Yu and Li Yong both looked at Huang Hong with disbelief.
Li Yong clicked his tongue in amazement and said, "Goodness, he can learn the martial arts used by others in a glance and master them in no time. He is a legendary martial arts genius! I have only seen such things in novels and always thought they were fictional. I never thought I would see a real one today."
After a moment of astonishment, Xing Yu coughed lightly and said, "Alright, junior brother, let me tell you about us. Including you, Master had a total of five disciples. Unfortunately, our third junior brother was a bit unlucky and died in the chaos of war at a young age. As for our fourth junior sister..."
Seeing Xing Yu sigh, Li Yong added, "Back then, my fourth junior sister met a man and insisted on leaving with him, which made Master furious. Although Master didn't explicitly expel her from the sect, over the years, their relationship has become distant."
Huang Hong nodded to indicate that he understood; it was nothing more than matters of love and romance, and people would do anything for love.
In his view, this behavior was a high-stakes gamble. If he won, he would simply live a peaceful and smooth life in a different way. But if he lost, it would be a hopeless and irreversible gamble with no way out.
The oppressive atmosphere didn't last long. Xing Yu said, "Alright, let's not talk about anything else. Since Master has entrusted you to us, we will naturally teach you diligently these next few days."
"Our style is called Flowing Cloud Fist. It emphasizes flowing movements, using softness to overcome hardness, and is good at countering the enemy's attacks. We are especially proficient in joint locks and grappling techniques."
"Our core technique is the Nine Turns of Flowing Clouds, and we also possess signature abilities such as Qi Binding Silk, Dragon Locking Buckle, and Thousand Layer Waves."
"The Nine Turns of Flowing Clouds is a path that cultivates both internal and external skills, which is relatively rare in the Southern Dipper Sacred Fist, which is known for its external and hard skills."
"Both Qi Binding Silk and Dragon Locking Buckle are grappling techniques, but one is internal and the other is external, each with its own unique uses. Thousand Layer Waves is a technique for converting force, which can use the circulation and rotation between forces to make one's attacks continuously stacked, becoming stronger with each strike."
"Come on, I'll start teaching you from the very basics now..."
