Chapter 73: The Shameful Wu Jianming
Mo Juren stayed alone in the simple wooden house on the side of the medicine garden. After nightfall, he didn't need to sleep, but sat cross-legged on the bed, silently practicing the Golden Light Illumination Technique.

However, he soon discovered that there was no way to practice. The Mo Mansion was too popular, and the backyard was relatively quiet. Although the spiritual energy around was not completely absent, it was far from enough to meet the needs of practice. It was intermittent and extremely scarce.

So he turned to physical training and began to practice the Elephant Armor Technique. Fortunately, this technique was not greatly affected by the environment.

After nightfall, Mo Juren, who had just stopped practicing, discovered that there was a light flashing in the medicine garden. It must be someone working in the garden at night.

He peeked out through the crack in the window and saw a young girl in coarse clothes, with her sleeves rolled up and a lantern in her hand. She was at the edge of the medicine garden, applying nectar to pollinate a night-blooming herb, and she was also tilling the ground and weeding. She was doing her job meticulously, with no distractions and extreme concentration.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, she is in her prime, but unexpectedly she can be here, surrounded by flowers and plants, and has such a quiet personality.

Mo Fengwu is not Mo Juren's biological daughter, but a loyal subordinate of his. After she sacrificed herself for the Jingjiao Society, she was left behind as an orphan. She was adopted by the Mo family as the second daughter and has now grown up.

Mo Juren was very happy to see that Mo Fengwu had similar hobbies to him and liked to play with herbs.

But when she left ten years ago, she was only five or six years old, so she may not have a deep memory of herself.

Moreover, he was afraid that he would scare the second daughter by appearing suddenly without being introduced, so Mo Juren kept quiet and practiced on his own in the room. The two of them spent the night in peace.

The next day, the Jingjiao Society began to hold a grand hero gathering in the south of the city, sending disciples everywhere to post invitations, claiming that the direct disciples of Guishou Mo Juren would set up a stage here to make friends with heroes from all over the world through martial arts.

The news quickly spread throughout the city. All the major forces were eager to take action and pay close attention, hoping to make some money from the rumored appearance of the Iron Yellow Essence.

A large number of people from the martial arts world soon gathered in the south of the city, and the entire Jiayuan City became lively.

At dawn, Mo Juren sneaked out of the Mo Mansion and went outside the city to meet the Fifth Lady first.

After the two of them reviewed their information and plans, they went their separate ways.

Not long after, the Grand Canal suddenly pulled up iron chains to block the river near Changping Ferry, locking all the ships passing through the river. The ships heading south had to turn around and head north to find the nearest ferry, causing chaos.

This blocked a large number of unidentified people who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to enter Jiayuan City.

In Jiayuan City, disciples of the Jingjiao Society formed teams of people early in the morning to maintain order.

In the south of the city, a large arena was set up with a four-sided arena, and below the arena was a circular area with hundreds of tables and chairs. After the identities of the disciples of the Jingjiao Society were verified, the various forces were seated according to seniority.

On one side of the arena, there stood a tall monument-shaped object, guarded by disciples and covered with black cloth, which looked a little mysterious.

Ordinary disciples from other forces gathered outside the arena and could only watch from a distance.

For a moment, there was a lot of noise and confusion.

Due to years of concessions, the only area that Jingjiaohui can control now is the south of the city.

There are many gangs in the city, the main ones are Tianbamen, Tieqianghui, Chunyulou, etc., which, together with Jingjiaohui, divide the territories in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest of Jiayuan City.

This time they all sent the best of their gangs to attend this heroic meeting, and they intentionally or unintentionally blocked the city gates on all sides, unexpectedly preventing many forces from outside the city from infiltrating.

Below the stage, most of the prominent figures showed up, but the champion did not show up. Everyone was impatient and started to make a noise.
"Where are Gang Leader Mo's disciples? Why haven't they shown up yet?"

"What do you mean by the reputation of the Yang Jingjiao Association? Could it be that after seeing all the heroes in the city, they dare not show up?"

"Yeah, how long do we have to wait..."

As the host of the Jing Jiao Club, the fourth wife Yan Liu was sitting at the main table under the stage, guarded by a group of Jing Jiao Club masters. Just when she wanted everyone to calm down, someone suddenly stood up and jumped onto the empty stage.

After everyone looked carefully, they found that it was Wu Jianming who had loudly declared in front of Mo's house yesterday that he was Mo Juren's disciple.

After he got on the stage, he clasped his fists and bowed to everyone, saying,

"I am the last disciple of Master Mo Juren, Wu Jianming. Today, all the heroes are gathered together, so it's a good opportunity for you to bear witness for me. I brought a token and Master Mo's handwritten letter, and asked Madam Fourth to bear witness for me..."

Suddenly a loud laugh broke out, interrupting Wu Jianming.

"Hahaha, Wu Jianming, huh? You bastard, you dare to pretend to be the disciple of Ghost Hand? Are you worthy of it?"

Before he could finish his words, a burly man with white hair and beard jumped onto the stage. He was holding a black iron spear. It was Bai Linghai, the second in command of the Iron Spear Society.

He came up to the stage, pointed his spear, and said,

"Today is a gathering of heroes. There is no room for a cunning fellow like you. Come on, let me fight you first."

Wu Jianming waved his hand respectfully and said,

"Old hero Bai, you have misunderstood. I just wanted to take this opportunity to let the Mo family know my identity and hand over Master Mo's handwritten letter..."

"Stop talking nonsense. No matter who you are, if you dare to jump onto the stage, I will fight you. Come on, I want to see how much Kung Fu you have learned from 'Ghost Hand' Mo Juren!?"

After saying that, he fired a shot, locking onto Wu Jianming with a powerful aura, leaving him with no way to evade. He had no choice but to draw the long sword from his waist and fight back with all his might.

Bai Linghai's marksmanship is superb and his momentum is powerful. He has been famous in the Lanzhou underworld for a long time. He easily gained the upper hand with just three or two moves, and beat Wu Jianming to a point where he was at a loss and in danger.

Finally, Bai Linghai shot at his left chest. Wu Jianming had no way to avoid it, so he threw away his sword. His clothes were shattered by a burst of anger, and his skin flashed with golden light. He actually blocked the gun with his body.

Under the huge impact, Wu Jianming retreated a few steps in horse stance, but fortunately he was not injured. However, his martial arts skills had been recognized by the audience.

"Bawang Jia? It turns out that this kid is practicing martial arts that can dominate the villa."

"Isn't this the unique hard skill taught by Manor Master Ouyang himself? Whose disciple is he?"

"With only these two skills, you are pretending to be a disciple of Ghost Hand. It's really embarrassing."

Beringhai on the stage laughed and said,
"Hahaha, normally you guys dominate the villa and stir up trouble in Jiayuan City, but today is the most important hero gathering in Jiayuan City, so we can't allow outsiders like you to interfere, don't you agree?"

Everyone in the audience seemed to have the same idea and nodded in agreement.

Everyone knew that what they were waiting for today was the appearance of Iron Yellow Essence.

Normally, he would be wary of Duba Villa's strength and pretend not to know about it. But today, a real opportunity is before him. The less competition there is, the better. He will no longer care about Duba Villa's face.

In order to save his life, Wu Jianming was forced to display his real martial arts skills. This mission was considered a complete failure, so he once again jumped off the stage in disgrace, not daring to say a word.

There were some experts in the audience who were secretly protecting Wu Jianming, but when they saw that the game was over, they calmed down.

The fourth lady was overjoyed. She didn't expect that the fake disciple incident that had been plaguing the Mo Mansion had been unexpectedly resolved.
