The news that Mount Hua and the Southern Island Sect were at odds with one another had spread throughout Shaolin.
“The Southern Island Sect did something?”
“Mount Hua? Who is Mount Hua?”
“You know, the sect that used to be in the Nine Great Sects One Union.”
“Ah! The Plum Blossom Sword sect! That Mount Hua to the Southern Island? That is quite sly.”
Those who knew about Mount Hua couldn’t help but pay attention to this news. Mount Hua had been expelled from the Nine Great Sects, and at the same time, the Southern Island Sect had joined.
Wasn’t this an interesting relationship to see? Even if there weren’t any feelings of resentment left, once they had met, they were bound to have clenched fists.
And sure enough, the first time they had met, they had used their fists.
“So what happened?”
“What do you think happened?”
“Of course, the Southern Island must have crushed Mount Hua, right?”
“This man. Would I make a fuss then? It was the opposite! It was Mount Hua who crushed them!”
“What? Where did this nonsense come from?”
“Tch tch. There were a hundred people who witnessed that fight. Why would they all lie? It is true that the disciples of Mount Hua beat the Southern Island disciples!”
“Huh. Oh my!”
It was surprising.
Did this mean that one of the Nine Great Sects had been struck down by Mount Hua, whose name was rarely even heard these days?
“Is Mount Hua that strong?”
There was no way the Southern Island Sect was weak, so they needed to clarify.
“Well, it was quite vague.”
“Huh? What is that supposed to mean?”
“It is true that the disciples of Mount Hua did win, but apparently neither side used swords in their fight. Well, of course, that is only natural. No matter how bloodthirsty they felt, how could they draw their swords on the sacred land of Shaolin?”
“Both sword sects were fighting without swords? So, what were they fighting with?”
“With fists. And in that, Mount Hua defeated them.”
“Tch. What else can I say? Then, that isn’t such a huge thing, right?”
“Whether they are great or not, we can only wait and see. Even if they didn’t draw their swords, the Southern Island Sect is still strong. If they didn’t fight each other with moderation, and Mount Hua pushed around the other, wouldn’t it be ok to look forward to Mount Hua?”
“Right. That is something we will have to check during their spars.”
Everyone who heard about this news discussed it.
Some criticized Mount Hua and the Southern Island Sect, who fought on Shaolin territory, and others were interested in the outcome.
Some even hoped for Mount Hua to grow, as it was now considered a sect that had failed to regain power, but now with another chance; while others frowned at the actions of Mount Hua that shook Shaolin.
There were various opinions, and yet all agreed on one point.
“Certainly, this competition is bound to be unpredictable.”
