"I've also heard about the fact that your two places were besieged by the Four Tunnel Gates."
"And if we can unite, we won't be in a hurry if we encounter something like this again in the future."
Master Yinghua nodded, looked to the south, and said: "If it is just an internal dispute among the Taoist sects in Dali Kingdom, it would be okay."
"But to deal with Lone Bamboo Country, the situation is serious and we really need to unite."
Wang Qinglan said: "Lone Bamboo Country will not give up, and we will suffer heavy losses."
"We won by luck this time, but we may not be so lucky next time. We should make plans in advance."
Master Yinghua said: "Our Shannan Road has a close relationship with Yaodi Road, and we are also quite friendly with Yuankou Road, Lanchang Road, and your Nanyu Road."
"If our five Taoist sects can unite, Longshanhui, Anshan Road, Xinnan Road, Jining Road, and even Guzhu Country will not be a concern."
Wang Qinglan said: "Especially if we, Nanyu, Shannan and Yuankou, could unite, we would not have so many people killed by Huang Jiantong."
Master Yinghua nodded: "Okay, I still need to discuss this matter with Master Chongxiang and give you the news as soon as possible."
Wang Qinglan stood up, bowed and thanked her, then said goodbye and returned to the mountain.
Master Yinghua sat in meditation in the back mountain from morning to noon. He called Chen Mengyun and said, "Follow me to Xianing Mountain."
Chen Mengyun said happily: "Are we really going to unite?"
Master Yinghua said: "At this time and at that time, if we want to resolve the disputes between various Taoist sects, we don't need to form a faction."
"But if we face Lone Bamboo Country, we must unite, otherwise the conflicts in various places will only be exploited by them."
Chen Mengyun asked: "Then who will be the leader?
Elder Lin?"
Master Yinghua chuckled: "Taoist Master Lin is devoted to pure cultivation, so naturally he will not be interested in these things."
Chen Mengyun curled his lips: "I say I am dedicated to cultivating myself, but in fact I am still running around."
Master Yinghua smiled and said, "Taoist Master Lin is a man of idle mind."
Chen Mengyun said: "If Taoist Lin becomes the leader, who will dare to cause trouble again in the future?"
Master Yinghua shook his head: "It is impossible for Taoist Lin to agree, and if he is really allowed to be the leader, some people will inevitably be wary of him."
Chen Mengyun said: "What about you, teacher?"
Master Yinghua chuckled: "My reputation is ruined, who will listen to me?"
Chen Mengyun clapped her legs and raised her chest: "Teacher, how long has it been? Lu Yuankui has been dead a long time ago!"
Master Yinghua looked at the distant mountains and said with a smile: "I have found something more important than commanding the Taoist sect."
Chen Mengyun asked: "Then who will be responsible?
Commanding several sects is a big deal."
Master Yinghua said: "The conduct of several Dao sect leaders is trustworthy, and everyone should be treated the same."
Chen Mengyun nodded and went to Xianing Mountain with Master Yinghua.
Disciple Shoushan invited the two of them into the hall. Master Chongxiang and Wu Bingjie came in later to greet them.
Master Chongxiang saluted and said: "It turns out that Master Yinghua and nephew Chen Xian are here. Please invite me quickly."
Master Yinghua said: "Master, you don't have to be polite. I came here today because I have something I want to discuss."
Master Chongxiang asked: "What kind of thing?"
Master Yinghua said: "Earlier, the leader of Nanyu Dao King came to see me."
Master Chongxiang was shocked: "Did something happen on Nanyu Road again?"
Master Yinghua shook his head: "No, Master Wang came to me with a proposal to unite several Taoist sects."
Wu Bingjie raised her head: "Unite?"
Master Yinghua said: "Headmaster Wang believes that the main reason why we fought so hard with the Guzhu Kingdom and suffered heavy losses was because we fought on our own."
"Our several sects did not contact each other at the first time, which gave the Lone Bamboo Kingdom an opportunity to lay siege to our Shannan Road and Nanyu Road."
"Previously, Yaodi Road faced encirclement and suppression from Jining Road, Xinnan Road, Anshan Road and Lanchang Road. The same was true. Although they won, they were extremely dangerous."
"Nowadays, there are various Taoist gates in the southern part of Dali Kingdom, with Guzhu Kingdom in the south, Longshanhui in the north, and Anshan Road, Jining Road, and Xinnan Road in the east and west."
"At least our Shannan Road, Yuankou Road, and Nanyu Road should unite so that we can deal with Guzhu Country."
"Lan Changdao and Yao Di Dao should also work together to deal with the threats of Longshanhui and Yulianhuan and Longyinqu further north."
"In this case, why don't our five northern and southern sects unite?"
Master Chongxiang blinked his eyes, thought for a while, and said: "Palace Master Zhou Lizi of Lan Changdao also mentioned this matter before."
"The concern at that time was that I was afraid that another Longshan Society would form and bully other Taoist sects."
Yinghua Zhenren said: "But at this moment and that moment, we are surrounded by enemies from both sides. It is the time when we should unite."
"Just like Shannan, Yuankou, and Nanyu. If they had formed a power before, Huang Jiantong would never have killed so many of our comrades."
Master Chongxiang asked Master Yinghua: "So you support it?"
Master Yinghua nodded: "We in Shannan Road have suffered heavy losses this time. If we don't unite, we may not be able to deal with Guzhu Country."
Master Chongxiang blinked and said: "If Master thinks it is feasible, I will support it."
Master Yinghua stood up, bowed and thanked him, and returned to the mountain gate. In the evening, he took Chen Mengyun to the Zhuangyan Palace in Hulingshan, Yuankou Dao.
Disciple Shoushan did not know Master Yinghua, so he saluted and said, "Who are you two looking for?"
Master Yinghua returned the gift: "Ying Huazi, who is watching the Shiyue at Baotong Mountain on Shannan Road, would like to ask to see your teacher."
Master Yinghua was so famous that when the disciples guarding the mountain heard this, they were so frightened that they took a breath of cold air and said, "Please follow me."
The two entered the palace and were taken to the living room. Zhou Qionghua and Shen Xinfang came immediately.
Zhou Qionghua saluted and said: "Master Yinghua has come from afar, and we welcome you from afar!"
Master Yinghua said: "Palace Master Zhou, there is no need to be polite."
Zhou Qionghua said: "I just heard about the incident on Shannan Road and Nanyu Road. I failed to rush to rescue in time. I hope you will forgive me."
Master Yinghua said: "This battle is indeed extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Taoist Master Lin arrived in time and turned the danger into safety."
Shen Xinfang glared and said angrily: "The people of Guzhu are really hateful!"
Master Yinghua said: "Palace Master Zhou, I came here today just for the matter of Lone Bamboo Country."
Zhou Qionghua said nervously: "Is there another move in Lone Bamboo Kingdom?"
Master Yinghua said: "Not yet, but there will definitely be in the future."
Zhou Qionghua nodded: "If the Lone Bamboo Country dares to invade our Dali Country in the future, please inform me in time, and I will go to help."
Master Yinghua saluted and thanked him, and said: "I came here today because the head of the Nanyu Dao King came to see me this morning."
"Headmaster Wang believes that our Shannan Dao and Nanyu Dao have suffered heavy losses this time because each Dao sect is fighting on its own."
"The Guzhu Kingdom colluded with Zhao Le'an of Nanyu Road, He Hongyang of Xinnan Road, and Huang Yongchun of Jining Road."
"They first bewitched Lin Xiaodong in the middle of the night, thinking he was dead. In the morning, Zhao Le'an and He Hongyang suddenly attacked Headmaster Wang."
"Headmaster Wang was defeated and retreated to our Shannan Road. Master Chongxiang and I both hurriedly accepted the challenge."
"Unexpectedly, Zhao Lean and He Hongyang got the support of Lone Bamboo Country."
