As the sun sets over the West Mountain, the city of Hengshan is brightly lit and bustling.
There is a large house with two entrances in the west of the city. At this moment, people are moving around, and there are hidden sentries on the surrounding walls. It is obviously heavily guarded.
At this moment, there were three people sitting opposite each other in a secret room in the house.
The head of the west was a tall, thin man in yellow robe, Lu Bai, the Crane Hand who was the third most popular person in Songshan. He suddenly said: "Senior Brother Ding, I don't understand. Our Songshan Sect is now
Now that the strength has been achieved, when one calls out in the arena, there will be a cloud of followers, how many people will be needed then, and how many people there are, why do we have to merge the five sects, which is so laborious."
"If nothing else, if you look at the Hengshan sect, there are three masters, Dingjing, Dingxian, and Dingyi, and their second-generation disciples are not very talented; while the Huashan sect only has Yue Buqun and his wife, plus two very talented people.
His disciples; the Hengshan sect is the most powerful, Liu Zhengfeng and the others are on the stage, plus that idiot Lu Lianrong; the Taishan sect has some strength, but there are constant internal fights; none of them have anything to take action against."
"On the other hand, our Songshan sect is strong and united. If we really want to unify the five mountains into one, although it will help our Songshan sect's strength, it will inevitably lead to factional chaos. No matter how difficult it is for the top and bottom to work together, it will not actually be of much benefit to us, Songshan. No.
You know why we have to do this merger."
Ding Mian, the pagoda master, laughed when he heard this and said: "Junior brother Lu, you must not be arrogant. We in Songshan naturally have the strength, but if we want to be the leader in the right path, we still have a long way to go. The merger of the five mountains is the first step."
Lu Baidao: "What's the first step? We in Songshan can still rely on the four sects of them. In fact, there is no need to go to such trouble. When we become the largest sect in the world in the future, they will be proud. I'm afraid they will cry and shout
You want to enter our Songshan Gate."
Ding Mian shook his head. He knew that Junior Brother Lu was too honest, so he said: "This is true, but after all, our Songshan Sect is not as profound as Shaolin Wudang, let alone the scale of the Demon Sect. If we want to expand our strength,
, it is bound to be inclusive and absorb the Jianghu sects to join.”
"Our Five Mountains Sword Sect has been in alliance for hundreds of years, and Senior Brother Zuo is the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance. If we want to expand our power, the other four mountains will be the first to bear the brunt. Even if their strength is not enough, they cannot be circumvented. Just imagine that you can't even use your own Five Mountains Sword.
If the factions can’t be merged, how can we have the face to integrate all the factions in the world and become the leader in the world?”
"Moreover, Junior Brother Lu, the other sects are not as weak as you think. Not to mention Hengshan Sanding, Yue Buqun and his wife, Brother Mo and Tianmen Tiandao Priest are all from the same sect. Their strength is no weaker than our Thirteen Taibao.
Even among the second generation disciples there are many talented people."
Lu Bai hummed: "How powerful it can be. We, the Thirteen Taibao, are dispatched together. We are still afraid that they will fail, let alone the second generation disciples. We have to wait until they grow up."
Ding Mian pondered for a while and then said: "We, the Thirteen Taibao, are not afraid of him when we go out, but... it's just Feng... Uncle Feng..."
Lu Bai was shocked and said: "You mean Feng Qingyang...Uncle Feng...but there has been no news from him for more than 20 years, isn't he already dead? How is that possible?"
It’s no wonder that Lu Bai was so surprised, because when Feng Qingyang was fighting against the world with his sword, they were young and enthusiastic, and they admired the uncle of the Wuyue Sword Sect for his name, no matter how he was not as good as Lei Guaner.
Even now that they have acquired superb martial arts skills, when they think of Feng Qingyang, who was the world's top master decades ago, they look up at the mountain, and they will never naively think that their current martial arts skills can compare with him.
The difference is not only in martial arts, but also in character and state of mind, which are beyond their reach.
Ding Mian saw the shocked look on Lu Bai's face and couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "How is it impossible? We martial arts practitioners are full of vitality. If we know how to cultivate our moral character, it is ordinary to live for hundreds of years. Uncle Feng Master's internal strength is so profound,
Such things are easy for him, not to mention that he is only about eighty years old now, how could he have died if there was no accident!"
Lu Bai raised his brows and said, "It's just that he hasn't heard from him for more than twenty years. If someone gets involved and something unexpected happens, it's not impossible."
Ding Mian couldn't help but smile and said: "Junior Brother Lu, do you think there is anyone in the world today who can fight with Uncle Feng?"
Lu Bai pondered: "Today's world... I really can't think of a few. However, the leader of the Demon Cult, Dongfang Bubai, is one."
Ding Mian took a sip of tea and said: "Dongfang Bubai... does have this strength, but when Uncle Feng Master became famous all over the world, Dongfang Bubai was still a nobody. When his martial arts gradually improved and he ascended to the position of leader of the Demon Cult, Uncle Feng Master
They have been missing for more than ten years, and I am afraid that there is no chance for them to fight each other, and what accident could happen to Uncle Feng."
Lu Baidao: "So, Uncle Feng is still alive, maybe he has retired somewhere in Huashan Mountain."
Then he looked like he suddenly realized something.
"No wonder Senior Brother Zuo ordered us to deal with Huashan. Either we can do it without anyone noticing, and eradicate the roots; or else we can take advantage of our righteousness and pursue it slowly. I thought Senior Brother has become more powerful and less courageous.
It turns out that I was afraid that Uncle Feng would interfere."
"I said you must go to Zhongtiao Mountain to invite Feng Buping and the others to come out. Although their martial arts are nothing, they are a wonderful move. After all, they are all members of the Jian Zong. I don't think Uncle Feng will stop the Jian Zong from regaining control of Huashan.
That’s it.”
Ding Mian and Lu Bai both nodded in agreement.
At this time, Fei Bin, who was next to him, interjected and asked: "It's still too early to unite the five mountains. Now we still have to be busy with the current situation. How should we act at the Golden Bowl Washing Hands Conference in three days?"
Ding Mian smiled and said: "Of course we act according to the opportunity. The stage has been set up, and Liu Zhengfeng has such a big handle in our hands. How this scene is played successfully depends on our brothers."
Lu Bai and Fei Bin clasped their fists and said, "Senior Brother Ding, please show me."
Ding Mian laughed and said: "There is no need to be polite between us brothers. This time has two purposes. The first is to test the bottom line of each faction. Those who can win over and those who are die-hard elements will pave the way for the future merger of the Five Mountains."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Secondly, let's attack the city first and take down the Hengshan sect. We have heard that Liu Zhengfeng has a very high prestige in the Hengshan sect and is at odds with Mr. Mo Da. Now we have a handle."
In our hands, we will threaten him with making friends with the demon sect and ask him to go to Songshan Mountain to plead guilty to Senior Brother Zuo in person."
"Senior Brother Zuo has his own means. If he becomes our Songshan subordinate, with our support, how can Mo Da hold the position of the head of Hengshan. He has to abdicate obediently and make way for someone worthy of his position. Hengshan will be in his hands without any effort.
.”
Lu Bai asked: "What if he doesn't cooperate?"
Ding Mian sneered and said: "If he refuses to cooperate, then no wonder we are not merciful and use him to show off his power. By then, the Hengshan sect will be without Liu Zhengfeng. With Mr. Mo Da's lazy temperament, how can we manage well? Yes.
Lu Lianrong cooperated internally and externally, but when our situation in Songshan was achieved, he was powerless even if he opposed the merger."
Lu Bai and Fei Bin cupped their hands and said, "Senior Brother Ding is brilliant."
Ding Mian smiled and said: "You two brothers are very polite. I am just following Senior Brother Zuo's plan."
…
The three of them laughed a lot and discussed for a while. Lu Bo said, "Are you sure that no one from the Hengshan sect will participate in the Golden Bowl Washing Ceremony in three days?"
Fei Bin continued: "Everyone knows that Liu Zhengfeng is at odds with the great leader of Hengshan. If he washes his hands in a golden basin, the power of the Hengshan sect in the world will be reduced by three points. It can also be seen from Lu Lianrong's secret report
, not only did Mo Da disagree with him washing his hands in a golden basin, but his other senior brothers also disagreed."
"Since Liu Zhengfeng insists, by that day, none of the disciples from Hengshan will appear."
Ding Mian nodded and said: "Without the Hengshan faction, although Liu Zhengfeng is very popular in the world, the people he interacts with are all ordinary, and there are very few people who have deep friendships. At that time, we only need to occupy Liu Zhengfeng's reputation of colluding with the devil's sect.
Let some moral people who think they are gentlemen have nothing to say. Then use all our dozens of people to threaten us with force. I believe that few people will dare to speak for Liu Zhengfeng and obstruct our actions!"
Fei Bin said: "The only thing I'm worried about is Qu Yang. After all, he is a member of the Demon Cult. There may be some variables."
Ding Mian frowned and said, "I am also worried about this. I can't tell whether the friendship between Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng is based on their friendship or for other purposes."
Fei Bin said: "Nearly a thousand people came to Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Ceremony, which shows that he has a wide range of connections in the world. If the Demon Sect takes advantage of him to alienate our Five Mountains Sword Sect, it is quite possible."
Ding Mian sighed and said: "Dongfang Bubai has been lazy in teaching affairs in recent years, which has given me the opportunity to develop the Five Mountains Sword Sect, but we must not get a glimpse of Dongfang Bubai's strategy because of this."
Lu Baidao: "Senior brother, you mean that Qu Yang's friendship with Liu Zhengfeng is a conspiracy by Dongfang Bubai?"
Ding Mian smiled and said: "I didn't say that. I'm afraid Dongfang Bubai is not worthy of such a thing. There are also many smart and talented people in the Demon Sect. Seeing that our Five Mountains Sword Sect is prosperous, they deliberately create some obstacles.
It’s also possible.”
Fei Bin continued: "When Dongfang Bubai first became the leader, he vigorously eliminated dissidents. This Quyang can firmly hold the position of elder, which shows that he is also a direct descendant of Dongfang Bubai."
Lu Bai wondered: "It's just that Qu Yang's mind is not pure. Just Liu Zhengfeng can make a lot of trouble."
Ding Mian smiled and said: "Normally, Liu Zhengfeng can't make much trouble, but this time we stepped in."
Lu Bai continued: "Everyone in the demon sect will kill them if they find them. If Qu Yang dares to show up, not to mention our Songshan sect, all the fellow Jianghu practitioners present will not let him leave easily."
Fei Bin said: "What Junior Brother Lu said makes sense. We don't need to worry too much. After all, it is just speculation. The possibility is extremely small. We cannot be unfounded."
Speaking of this, Fei Bin sneered and said: "At this point, our plan has only been blocked by two or three sects in today's martial arts world, except for the Demon Sect."
Lu Baidao: "Oh, which three?"
Fei Bin sneered and said: "The first two are Shaolin and Wudang. If they come, we have to be careful in our actions, lest they alert them and ruin our plan. If they speak for Liu Zhengfeng
To show mercy, we have to show him some kindness even though we have no choice."
Ding Mian said: "Shaolin Wudang has always respected its identity. Liu Zhengfeng washed his hands in the golden basin. Even if he sent an invitation, judging from their usual behavior, he would definitely ignore it. Now there are still three days before the golden basin washes his hands, but there are no two factions.
If someone comes, they will probably not come, so there is no need to worry about it."
Lu Bai interjected: "Apart from the Demon Cult and Shaolin Wudang, the most famous in today's martial arts is our Five Mountains Sword Sect. This third...could it be that some people within our Five Mountains Sword Sect are talking about."
Fei Bin nodded and said: "Exactly, Taoist Master Tianmen, the head of Taishan, led his junior brothers Tianbai, Tiansong and a group of disciples, who arrived the day before yesterday. Although the Huashan sect only has a few disciples here now, it is said that Yue Buqun will also
Come personally; Master Dingyi, the master of Baiyun Temple of the Hengshan Sect, has also arrived with his disciples; although the Hengshan Sect says that a generation of disciples will not show up, they must be on guard."
"If these parties intervene, they will be in trouble if they are not weaker than the people we came here this time."
Ding Mian thoughtfully said: "What Junior Brother Fei said is absolutely true. If these factions unite, we brothers, even though they are highly skilled in martial arts, will not be able to compete with each other. But if they interfere or even disturb this matter, it will not be a big deal.
possible."
"My Wuyue Sword Sect has been entangled with the Demon Cult for nearly a hundred years. We have already forged a blood feud. No one can resolve it with just a few words. As long as it is confirmed that Liu Zhengfeng has made friends with demons from the Demon Cult, no one will stand on his side."
"If nothing else, most of the disciples of Master Dingyi's generation died at the hands of the Demon Cult. Liu Zhengfeng dared to make friends with the elders of the Demon Cult. With her temperament, wouldn't she be suspicious of her? Yue Buqun is known as the Gentleman's Sword.
In terms of humility and tolerance, he is really like a gentleman, but he is too forward-thinking and timid. If he were asked to stand up for Liu Zhengfeng, he would not dare to do so;
It is confirmed that Liu Zhengfeng has made friends with demons from the Demon Cult, and he will stay out of the matter. I wonder how they can unite to exonerate Liu Zhengfeng."
Lu Bai continued: "Exactly, our Wuyue Sword Sect and the Demon Sect have a deep hatred. Just because Liu Zhengfeng dares to make friends with the elders of the Demon Sect, no one dares to stand up for him. We don't need to worry in vain."
Fei Bin smiled and said: "The two senior brothers are right. It seems that if we take down Liu Zhengfeng in three days, there should be no serious problems."
Ding Mian continued: "As long as we act cautiously, he will not be able to escape from our grasp!"
After saying this, everyone laughed and chatted for a while. Ding Mian suddenly said: "The Qingcheng sect was exterminated. Have you found out where it was done?"
Fei Bin said: "Our forces in central Sichuan are weak, and we don't have any clues yet. There should be no results. Shaolin Wudang has not responded for so many days, and the murderer should not have been found."
Ding Mian said: "Use Qingcheng School's Songfeng Sword Technique to wipe out Qingcheng. There are only a few people in the world who can do this. They are all famous big shots, so there is no way to investigate."
“In the end, it’s inevitable that the devil’s sect will be blamed, but it’s really possible that the devil’s sect did it.”
After saying that, he shook his head, then suddenly remembered something, and said to Fei Bin: "I heard that there are a lot of guests gathering at Liu Zhengfeng's house tonight. Junior Brother Fei, please go there on behalf of our Songshan sect, so as to save people from talking about us."
I came but didn’t show up, so I took the opportunity to check on the situation at Liu Zhengfeng’s house!”
Fei Bin cupped his fists and said, "Okay! Senior Brother Ding, I'm going to take a walk."
