Huang Jiantong spread his hands and grinned: "What you think is not important, they think you are."
"The Wuluo sect, Yi, Yue, and Pu tribes share the same ancestry with our Guzhu country. We are brothers. In their eyes, you are all foreigners."
Peng Jianben knew exactly what Huang Jiantong wanted to do. He closed his eyes and crossed his arms to make gestures, just to negotiate a good price, and said: "I am a native of Dali, and I will never be a traitor. I can't afford this reputation."
Huang Jiantong argued: "How can we call him a traitor?
I just want to help a group of brothers from the Dali Kingdom, so that the Wulu Sect can raise its head in front of the Taoist Sect of the Dali Kingdom and behave as equals."
Peng Jianben made it clear: "Then what do you want me to do?"
Seeing that there was something going on, Huang Jiantong lowered his body and stuck his head out, whispering: "I can help you deal with Zhou Qionghua."
Peng Jianben grinned, with a flash of greed in his eyes: "Then what benefits can I get?"
Huang Jiantong chuckled lightly, thinking that you are also a merciless person, why bother pretending to be righteous, and said: "After Zhou Qionghua is eliminated, you will be the leader of the entire Yuankou Daodao Sect. Isn't that enough?"
Peng Jianben shook his head: "It's not enough for me to risk being a traitor once."
Huang Jiantong nodded: "If Master Peng wants money, I have all the gold and silver treasures of Guzhu Country."
Peng Jianben smiled scornfully: "As a Taoist, what do you need money for?"
If you don't need money, you just need resources for cultivation. Huang Jian said: "Our country, Guzhu, is the birthplace of the witchcraft. If Master Peng wants any spiritual treasures and elixirs, just ask."
Peng Jianben then relented: "Then thank you brothers from Guzhu Country for your support!"
The conspiracy was concluded and the two looked at each other and smiled.
After Huang Jiantong left, Peng Jianben called his eldest disciple Kong Qiran.
Kong Qiran asked: "Why do people from the Guzhu Kingdom come to our Yili Mountain?"
Peng Jianben was in a very good mood. He shook his head and said to Kong Qiran: "Go down the mountain now and ask the head of Fengyunya Guo, the head of Fujian Zhao, and the head of Baiyang Village's Lu Village to come tomorrow to discuss matters."
The three people mentioned by Peng Jianben are Guo Gaolang, the head of Fengyunya in Nan'an Mountain, Zhao Xiangchen, the head of Fujian in Suilian Mountain, and Lu Wenyan, the head of Baiyang Village in Qingwu Mountain.
These three people are close associates of Peng Jianben and are the core forces of the Yuankou Tao Wulu Sect.
Kong Qiran went down the mountain and informed the three heads. Early the next morning, the three of them came together to discuss matters with Peng Jianben in the hall.
Guo Gaolang asked: "Master Peng asked us to come here early in the morning. What do you want to discuss?"
Peng Jianben looked at the three of them for a while and then said: "I'm going to attack Zhou Qionghua."
The three heads were shocked when they heard this. Guo Gaolang said in astonishment: "Are we going to attack Zhou Qionghua?"
Zhao Xiangchen said: "With our current strength, if we fight Zhou Qionghua head-on, we are not sure of victory."
Lu Wenyan asked: "What happened? Are you going to fight Zhou Qionghua and the others?"
Peng Jianben grinned: "I dare to attack her, of course I am sure of victory."
Guo Gaolang asked: "What is the certainty of victory?"
Peng Jianben smiled and said: "It won't work if you say it. You go back and make preparations early."
The three leaders obeyed Peng Jianben's words and went back to mobilize their troops without thinking too much. They had no idea that Peng Jianben had secretly colluded with Guzhu Kingdom.
Zhou Qionghua knew about the slightest movement on the Wuluo Sect's side. That morning, he called his eldest disciple Shen Xinfang and said, "Go and invite Master He Guanzhu, Master Shi, and Master Song to come."
Zhou Qionghua wanted to invite three representatives of the Dali National Dao Sect of Yuankou Dao, He Yongde, the leader of Yunguan Temple in Leyang Mountain City, Shi Yingcai, the leader of Qinghong Sect of Huaiyu Mountain, and Song Xingyuan, the leader of Qixingju in Xunshi Mountain.
These three people are half of the Yuankou Daodao Sect. Shen Xinfang was startled and asked nervously: "What happened?"
Zhou Qionghua sighed lightly: "I received news that Peng Jianben called Guo Gaolang, Zhao Xiangchen, and Lu Wenyan to Yili Mountain to discuss the matter."
"When the three of them came back, they started to mobilize people everywhere. I'm afraid there will be a big move, and we need to prepare in advance."
Shen Xinfang opened her mouth and nodded, then went out and went down the mountain.
At noon, He Yongde, Shi Yingcai, and Song Xingyuan came together to meet Zhou Qionghua in the hall.
Zhou Qionghua asked the three of them to sit down and talk, and said, "Peng Jianben discussed with Guo Gaolang and the others what they didn't know."
"Guo Gaolang and the others started mobilizing troops after they came back. I'm afraid they are planning some big move."
He Yongde frowned: "They have been honest for so long, why do they suddenly act?"
Zhou Qionghua shook his head: "I don't know either."
Shi Yingcai hummed and said: "No matter what they are planning, it must be against us."
Song Xingyuan crossed his arms: "Then let's mobilize people when we go back and see what they want to do."
Zhou Qionghua nodded: "That's what I mean by calling the three of you. Take extra precautions when you go back and make preparations in advance."
He Yongde said: "Don't worry, Palace Master Zhou, no matter what Peng Jianben is planning, he will not let them succeed!"
Zhou Qionghua nodded thoughtfully, and the three heads took their leave and went back to gather their troops.
Five days later, Peng Jian mobilized his troops and set up camp at the foot of Jinping Mountain with a hundred Taoists.
Jinping Mountain is the area closest to the Dali Guodao Sect in the north of the Wuluo Sect's sphere of influence, and it is clear that they are here for Zhou Qionghua.
Zhou Qionghua was naturally prepared for it. He Yongde, Shi Yingcai, and Song Xingyuan led three groups of troops and arranged their troops at the foot of Kuocang Mountain, which is only a valley away from Jinping Mountain, looking at each other from a distance.
On the morning of the next day, Zhou Qionghua arrived. Looking across from the canopy, he saw that the camp was neatly organized and ready to go.
Shen Xinfang said angrily: "Peng Jianben is so bold, risking the disapproval of Taoist sects in the world, and facing swords with Dali Guodao sect?"
He Yongde smiled contemptuously and said: "Is Peng Jian originally not smart, or has he gained some ability and dared to go out with all his troops to fight against us?"
Zhou Qionghua frowned: "Peng Jianben is careful in his work. If he spends a lot of money today, he must be sure of victory. I'm afraid there is fraud."
Shi Yingcai folded his arms and raised his head: "There are heretics and we are so generous to the Guodao sect. When will we be afraid of them?"
Song Xingyuan said: "Palace Master Zhou is right, we'd better be cautious."
He Yongde pointed to the opposite side and said: "People are coming to your doorstep, how can you be cautious?"
Zhou Qionghua said: "You three come with me and see what Peng Jianben has to say."
He Yongde muttered: "It's clear that we are going to take action, what else is there to say?"
Zhou Qionghua looked across: "If you want to take action, you have to know why he dares to take action."
He Yongde, Shi Yingcai, and Song Xingyuan followed Zhou Qionghua down the awning, out of the camp gate, and came to the front of the Wuluo camp.
Peng Jianben came forward with Guo Gaolang, Zhao Xiangchen and Lu Wenyan.
Zhou Qionghua looked at the camp behind Peng Jianben and asked: "Master Peng brought so many people to my doorstep of the Guodao Sect today. What are you doing?"
