Chapter 942: Taking it up with the various large sects?
Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
That night.
There were no reports of the fight on the news. This story was discussed heatedly on Weibo instead!
"How is Teacher Zhang?"
"Have the criminals been arrested yet?"
"How\'s the situation over there? Local bros, say something!"
"Didn\'t Zhang Ye mention something about women and children being under attack?"
"Relax, everyone! Those criminals have been arrested!"
"We\'ve taught them a lesson, those bastards! We\'ve vented our anger!"
"Right, we don\'t know who they are either. There were monks among them and some guys wearing Taoist clothing. Over a hundred of them were shouting and itching to kill, but in the end, we totally crushed them! They were beaten up by more than 2,000 of us and sent scurrying with their tails between their legs! And at least a dozen of them were bitten by Tibetan Mastiffs!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Awesome!"
"If I could\'ve rushed over there, I would\'ve taught them a lesson too!"
"But why aren\'t there any news reports about it?"
"I don\'t know!"
"What\'s really going on here? Why did Zhang Ye appear there?"
A lot of people had gone there and the matter was settled. But as for the details of the happenings, those who answered the call did not have a clue. The police and reporters did not say anything either!
This was perhaps the power that the National Martial Arts Association had. Lu Yuhu was right. The National Martial Arts Association had connections in high places everywhere, and objectively, it was impossible to report about some incidents. A fight between several grandmasters from the Chinese martial arts world? Sneak attacks? Two injured and one maimed? And being chased after by a group of people out to kill? There were even people who got killed several years ago? How could they report something like that! If the truth of the matter and happenings were to be revealed, the National Martial Arts Association would definitely not be allowed to run any longer. It would surely get dissolved! As a result, even if they were not involved with this affair, some of the officials from the National Martial Arts Association would want to cover up the incident at all costs!
The people were ignorant of the events.
But the Chinese martial arts community knew full well of everything.
...
At a small sect.
"Second Senior Bro is back!"
"Second Senior Bro, what happened?"
"I read Weibo. What really happened?"
"Why did Zhang Ye participate in the conference?"
"Hai, don\'t bring that up. Something disastrous happened at the Martial Arts Conference!"
"Ah?"
"Sit down, all of you. I\'ll tell you all about it! The large sects have been annihilated this time!"
...
At a training hall.
"What?"
"Zhang Ye is the successor of Taiji?"
"Goddamn!"
"The Taiji Fist that had been missing for over a hundred years has reappeared again?"
"This…"
"He could even hold his own against Grandmaster Chen?"
"Concealed power? How could it be possible that Zhang Ye could achieve concealed power in Taiji Fist?"
...
The Huashan Sect.
"Say that again?"
"The sect leader is seriously injured?"
"Martial Uncle Fan Wen was beaten up by more than a dozen civilians? He was taken away by the police too?"
"How could Rao Aimin possibly be that skilled!"
"Why would Zhang Ye go and help that Old Crook Rao?"
...
The National Martial Arts Association.
"We have to suppress all news of this!"
"Hurry up and do some PR about this!"
"What the hell were Grandmaster Zhou and Grandmaster Chen thinking!"
"There were so many people going after Rao Aimin and they still failed? They were all arrested?"
"Quick, contact the local police! Get them to release our people! What? They can\'t do that? Why can\'t they do it?"
"Why did someone conduct a sneak attack during the deathmatch?"
"How bad are Grandmaster Zhou\'s injuries?"
"He\'s been stripped of his martial arts? That\'s a grandmaster we\'re talking about! He\'s the vice president of our National Martial Arts Association!"
...
The outside world was still in the dark about the news, but to those who were from the martial arts world, this was no secret at all. A lot of the martial sects and their disciples who did not participate at the Martial Arts Conference venue soon found out about the situation and were in shock! Too many things had happened at the National Martial Arts Conference this time, and every one of those events were more shocking than the last!
That shit stirrer of the entertainment industry had stirred his way into the Chinese martial arts world!
The successor of Taiji had appeared!
Zhang Ye and Rao Aimin versus Zhou Tianpeng and Chen Xi!
A sneak attack from below the ring!
Zhou Tianpeng stripped of his martial arts!
Chen Xi seriously injured!
Rao Aimin\'s survival unknown!
People of the large sects went against their moral principles to seek extermination of the opponent after the duel!
2,000 civilians and a dozen Tibetan Mastiffs annihilated all of those from the large sects!
When they heard this news, many people from the Chinese martial arts world fainted over and over again. In the many years of its existence, the Chinese martial arts world had never had something so disastrous happen before. The most recent incident before this was Rao Aimin\'s fierce duel against the two grandmasters. Who could have imagined that when nothing happened, all was peaceful; but when something happened, it was as big and shocking as this! It could even be said that all the incidents in the past 50 years of the Chinese martial arts world added together would be incomparable to the mess that occurred during the whole of today!
"Our martial arts world has been plunged into chaos!"
"Yeah, something really big has happened!"
"What will happen now?"
"How will the National Martial Arts Association handle this?"
"Will the large sects still continue to hunt down Rao Aimin?"
"Hunt down Rao Aimin? Zhou Tianpeng has been maimed and Chen Xi is seriously injured as well, so the question is: What will happen after Rao Aimin recovers from her injuries? Will she start hunting down these people from the large sects instead?!"
"Let\'s see how this will develop then!"
"Yeah, it\'s a fight between the gods. We should stay as far away from it as possible!"
On this night, every person in the Chinese martial arts world was paying close attention to the developments of the event. Everyone knew that with this big affair happening, the ramifications had yet to conclude!
...
At the place in question.
In a hospital.
Zhang Ye took a phone call in the corridor.
Zhang Ye said: "Mom, I\'m fine."
His mother said: "Why did you get into a fight with others again? And it\'s even a real, physical fight this time? Where\'s Chenchen? How is she?"
"Chenchen\'s fine."
"You troublemaker! If I knew this would happen, I would never have allowed you to bring Chenchen with you!"
"Anyway, just let Dad know that I\'m safe."
"When will you come back?"
"Me? Um, several days later, I guess."
"Isn\'t the problem already settled? Why are you coming home several days later?"
Zhang Ye replied: "There are still some issues that haven\'t been settled yet."
After hanging up, many of Zhang Ye\'s friends and colleagues also called him to find out what had happened. They had all seen Zhang Ye\'s Weibo post from earlier in the day.
Zhang Ye said: "Director Yan, I might have to take a longer break this time."
Central TV Documentary Channel\'s Yan Tianfei said: "I\'m fine with extending your break, rest as long as you\'d like. But why are you always getting into trouble everywhere you go? I\'m very worried about you!"
His friends were all very worried for him, but Zhang Ye did not explain anything to them. Even if he did, it was pointless. The incidents that happened within the martial arts community could only be resolved with the martial arts community\'s methods!
He went back into the ward and realized that there were a few more people who had just come in.
"Teacher Zhang is back!"
"Teacher Zhang!"
"This is our Eldest and Second Senior Bro!"
"They\'ve just arrived!"
Song Jiao, Lu Yuhu, and the others introduced them.
Zhang Ye looked at the two of them. They were not old, not older than Rao Aimin at least. One of them was pretty ugly and had a buzzcut. The other had a ponytail and looked like someone who was involved in music or the arts.
When they saw Zhang Ye, the Eight Trigrams School\'s eldest senior brother immediately stepped forward and gave a fist and palm salute. Then he bowed for a long time. "Master Zhang, please accept my respects!"
"We arrived too late!" The second senior brother also did the same when he saw his senior brother bow.
Zhang Ye quickly went over to stop them. "What age are we living in now? Please don\'t do such things. Come, stand up straight! My relationship with Big Sis Rao is no worse than yours, so it\'s only right that I help her out. There\'s no need to be so polite!" He then looked at Lu Yuhu. "How are Old Rao\'s injuries? Will she recover?"
Old Rao?
The Eight Trigrams School\'s eldest and second senior brother\'s eyelids twitched.
What the fuck, someone actually dared to address their eldest senior sister in this way?
Lu Yuhu immediately said, "It\'s nothing serious. With Eldest Senior Sis\'s skills, she\'ll definitely pull through. The doctor said that as long as she regains consciousness, her life won\'t be in any danger!"
Zhang Ye asked, "Has her fever gone down yet?"
"It\'s better now," Song Jiao answered.
Their eldest senior brother clenched his fists and said, "Those people have gone too far!"
Xu Fan said angrily, "They did not even report this event in the news! There was no mention of it at all!"
Zhao Yunlong also choked out with anger, "The national martial arts world is also staying silent about this affair and those people from the large sects are all pretending that they don\'t know a thing. Meanwhile, those from the small sects are too scared utter their opinions. I really want to ask about this right now! Will anyone give us a proper explanation about this issue?"
Lu Yuhu yelled, "Right, who can give us a proper explanation?"
They had been through too much today and were angered by all that had happened. There had been too much scheming and injustice. Even though Zhang Ye had managed to call on those common folk and turn things around, and given a heavy beating to the people of the large sects, but it was still not enough to vent their anger! They just couldn\'t swallow it! Getting surrounded? Sneak attacks? Getting hunted down? This was a deep hatred that stemmed from them being targeted for annihilation. Even if those people had been arrested, so what? Besides, the National Martial Arts Association might still make use of their connections with the authorities and get those people released after a few days of detention. Moreover, those large sects likely had their own connections with people within the ranks of the authorities too!
Shaolin?
Or Huashan?
Each of them had better connections than the other!
Therefore this case was definitely not closed. They needed an explanation!
It was at this moment that Lu Yuhu received a call.
At the same time, the various martial sects and non-affiliates of the Chinese martial arts world received the news!
The National Martial Arts Association had finally spoken up after the incident and had expressed outrage at the events that took place during the National Martial Arts Conference. They listed out several actions to be taken. First, they would do their best to find out which person had carried out the sneak attack and make sure they gave a fair answer to the people affected. Second, they expressed a harsh condemnation of the incident in which people from the large sects hunted down Rao Aimin after the deathmatch. This was disgraceful behavior against the morals and rules of the martial arts community, and they would be taking disciplinary action against the various martial sects involved in the incident. Third, they also expressed their understanding of why all of the events had occurred. The downfall of a grandmaster was something that no one wanted to witness, and this was something that would definitely enrage anyone. Even though it was a deathmatch, the National Martial Arts Association had never advocated this as a way of resolving feuds in the martial arts community. For Rao Aimin to have taken such drastic actions against her opponents, it was also in defiance of the rules. Therefore, it was understandable that those actions had triggered the emotions and sympathy of the people from the large sects!
Putting into context the three points.
The attitude of the National Martial Arts Association was clear. They had pointed out the problems with both sides and blamed the incident on both parties. Thus, the affair was concluded with no concrete results and the association\'s stand was that this would be the end of it!
The non-affiliates and those from the small sects were abuzz.
"That\'s how they\'re going to wrap it up?"
"Uh…"
"Is this considered resolved?"
"It does look like a fair judgment, but why doesn\'t it feel right!"
"Shh, don\'t say any more."
"It\'s not something we can poke our noses into!"
When a lot of the people from the large sects learned of this outcome, they were subconsciously relieved.
"It\'s finally been settled!"
"This is great!"
"Yeah, it was Rao Aimin who went too far in the first place!"
"Both sides should just take a step back and forget it!"
"Yeah, this outcome is something that I can accept!"
But even though they could accept this, the disciples of the Eight Trigrams School could not!
Not only could they not accept it, the Eight Trigrams Palm\'s disciples nearly exploded with anger when they learned of the National Martial Arts Association\'s stand on this incident!
Lu Yuhu said angrily, "What do they mean by they will do their best to find out which person carried out the sneak attack? There were so many people at the venue at that time, so there must have been quite a few people from the large sects who saw the person throwing the darts. What\'s there to investigate? Just ask around and the truth will be revealed! They don\'t intend to hand anyone over!"
Xu Fan said, "Our Eldest Senior Sis was even blamed for the incident?"
"Fuck!" Zhao Yunlong said, "What kind of explanation was that?"
Song Jiao said, "To put it bluntly, the National Martial Arts Association are just made up of people from the large sects! Their people are all in there! So how can we depend on them to hand over the perpetrator? Or expect them to carry out any investigations?"
"They\'re just trying to sweep it under the carpet?"
"How can it be so simple!"
"Then who\'ll give us our explanation?"
"Are they just going to forget about the incident in which the large sects surrounded us and carried out a sneak attack against us?"
The Eight Trigrams Palm\'s disciples were enraged!
A nurse came in from outside the room and said, "Please be quiet. Don\'t disturb the patients!"
Suddenly, Zhang Ye spoke up. He looked at that female nurse and asked, "Comrade nurse, do you have a map around here?"
The female nurse said with a hint of excitement, "Yes, yes, we do. What kind of a map do you need, Teacher Zhang? We have everything here. Could I please take a picture with you later?"
"Sure," Zhang Ye said. "I would like a map of the entire country."
Soon after, the female nurse brought the things over to Zhang Ye.
The disciples of the Eight Trigrams Palm looked at Zhang Ye. They did not understand what he was trying to do.
Then, Zhang Ye spread the map out across the table and handed a pen to Lu Yuhu.
Lu Yuhu was taken aback. "What\'s this for?"
Zhang Ye said calmly, "Do you remember all those sects who surrounded and tried to hunt us down?"
"I won\'t forget even if they turn to ash!" Lu Yuhu said.
Zhang Ye nodded. "Alright, mark out the exact locations and address of their martial sects\' headquarters for me!"
"Ah?"
"What are you planning?"
"Why do you need their addresses?"
"Teacher Zhang! You…"
Everyone was stunned!
However, Zhang Ye spoke very nonchalantly and even smiled, "I\'ll find a place to heal up for a few days. When I recover, I\'d like to travel around to their stomping grounds and have a taste of the lands of our homeland!"
The Shaolin Monastery?
The Huashan Sect?
The Zhou Family Style School?
The Kongtong Sect?
The Kunlun Sect?
South Wudang?
The Iron Palm?
Good!
I\'m going to look up each and every one of you!
