This Jinyiwei is obviously super strong, but he overdoes it. Chapter 499: The road ahead is difficult.
Dongyue Mount Tai is the next focus of the world after Beiyue Mount Hengshan. The reason is that it is widely rumored that Shi Suxue, a disciple of Hengshan Sect, fell into their hands "for unknown reasons".
The people are all very discerning, at least that's what they think. In everyone's minds, it's impossible for the Jinyiwei to let people go without any reason. There must be some ulterior deal between them and the Taishan Sect.
Of course, this kind of conjecture is not an injustice to the Taishan sect. After all, there is indeed a deal between the two parties, but it is just the tacit understanding that you are plotting against me and I am plotting against you to see who has the upper hand.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the Taishan sect is at a disadvantage and is troubled by public opinion. This has also hindered their plan to win over the other three sects in the Five Mountains except Hengshan.
Hao Bansheng, the head of the Taishan Sect, was worried about this. He had known that making a deal with Jinyiwei was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger, but with the current interests, he really couldn't bear the ambition of becoming the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance.
At this moment, he was looking through the replies sent by Songshan and Huashan, which were nothing more than prevarications for convening the Five Mountains Conference again and questions about Suxue when the Taishan sect detained him. Hao Bansheng was anxious and angry.
Hao Bansheng angrily overturned the table and cursed: "These villains are trying to rip off a piece of flesh from my body, Mount Tai, if they get a chance! How stupid! Can't they see it? Wuyue is now
With so many dangers at stake, only the combined faction can occupy a place in the world!"
Several disciples of the Taishan Sect below all lowered their heads and dared not speak. It was not until Hao Bansheng calmed down that one of them spoke cautiously: "Master, now all the sects in the world are doubting us. Otherwise, we will
Let the person go back?"
"Idiot!" Hao Bansheng picked up a pen washer and smashed it at it, causing the disciple's head to explode and he knelt on the ground and apologized repeatedly.
Hao Bansheng hated the iron and said: "Let him go? You can imagine that now the whole world knows that he is in our hands, so if we let him go, we will only think that we are under pressure. What's more, our people have already gone to Hengshan
Pai let it go, now even if we send that disciple back, they won't accept our favor!"
"Master? Is this the only way we can go?" Another disciple asked with difficulty.
"Do you have a better way?" Hao Bansheng gave them a cold look, finally sighed, and waved his hand in frustration for them all to leave.
The relationship between Taishan and Hengshan has been forged. If he surrenders now, although he will avoid a disaster, it will directly reduce the prestige of Taishan to the valley, and there will be no possibility of annexing the five mountains. So even though he knows that this is a dangerous and thorny road.
He must also walk the road.
But what makes Hao Bansheng even more sad than the coming storm is that the Taishan sect is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and has no successors.
In the other Five Mountains sects, when their leaders fell, it was true that the pillar of heaven tilted, causing great disaster, but it was not without talents who could turn the tide. Gu Qianhan of Huashan, Yufang and Mingyu of Hengshan were all very capable people.
Looking back at the Taishan Sect, there have been constant disputes within the sect for more than ten years, and the speed of changing leaders is the fastest in the world. Hao Bansheng went through a series of fierce battles to get to this position. Looking back, although the sect is stable, it can
The experts I relied on were basically all internally exhausted.
Looking around, there is not a single person in the entire Taishan Sect who can take the lead. Except for Hao Bansheng, among the remaining people, the one with the highest martial arts skills is Guan Shanmo.
Speaking of this inner disciple who had high hopes for him, Hao Bansheng had another headache. Guan Shanmo's advantage was that he was an honest man and valued love and justice, but his shortcoming was also that he valued love and justice too much.

"Someone is coming!"
Hao Bansheng called the disciples outside the door, and while pressing his eyebrows, he asked: "Where is your senior brother now?"
The disciple hesitated to speak. Seeing that Hao Bansheng was about to get angry again, he bit the bullet and replied: "Report to the master, Senior Brother Guan, Senior Sister Shi went to visit..."
"Incredibly stupid!"
Hao Bansheng finally got angry. He trampled the table gum that he had just overturned and smashed it into pieces. He roared: "Call him over here!"
"Yes, yes..." The disciple was so busy that he went to call someone. Not long after, Guan Shanmo came to the hall and saw the mess here, and he felt a little better in his heart.
"Disciple has met the master." Guan Shanmo bowed and saluted.
"Traitor!" Hao Bansheng glared angrily and cursed.
Guan Shanmo didn't know why, so he immediately knelt down and apologized: "My disciple is stupid and I don't know what I did wrong. Please point it out to the master."
Hao Bansheng lowered his anger and asked gloomily: "Didn't I tell you to stay away from that girl? Why did you turn a deaf ear to my words? Do you still have me as the leader in your eyes?"
"Please forgive me, Master. I did not intend to violate the order of the Master, but..."
Guan Shanmo hesitated for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said: "Master, let me tell you frankly, our Taishan sect has always acted upright. This time, my junior sister was killed for righteousness. How can we add insult to injury? Such behavior is really not the way of a gentleman...
.”
"You bastard! How dare you teach me a lesson?!"
Hao Bansheng swung his palm and slapped Guan Shanmo on the face with such force that half of his face immediately became red and swollen.
"My disciple's words are meaningless. Please calm down, Master." Guan Shanmo lowered his head to apologize, but his tone was still somewhat reluctant.
Hao Bansheng was also dizzy with anger from the other party. It took him a while to calm down. He said sadly: "The love between children is just a temporary happiness. As a disciple of my Taishan sect, you should take the lintel of Guangmen as your own responsibility. If
Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your master’s spirit in heaven?”
Guan Shanmo was an inner disciple of the Taishan Sect, and he studied under the elder of the sect. In terms of seniority, the elder was still senior fellow apprentice Hao Bansheng, but he accidentally died in a fight a few years ago.
"Disciple, I will obey the teachings of the leader, but..." Guan Shanmo plucked up the courage and persuaded again: "Master, the Hengshan sect has always been content with itself and has no fight with the world. Even if the leader wants to send the Five Sacred Mountains together, they will not
If you don’t necessarily object to it, why do you need to do it absolutely?”
"Stand by yourself and keep aloof from the world? What a joke! Can't you see that the Hengshan Sect has always been the biggest obstacle to the Five Sacred Sects?!"
Hao Bansheng showed disappointment in his eyes and said earnestly: "Although the Hengshan faction will not take the initiative to stir up disputes, every time someone from the Five Mountains attempts to merge the factions, they are the opposing party, and their intentions may not be good."
Seeing that Guan Shanmo didn't believe it, Hao Bansheng had no choice but to give an example: "Huashan Mountain was huge back then. Later, during the battle at Wandaomen, they just watched with cold eyes. If the old leader of Huashan Mountain hadn't been hacked to death, Shi Jiuning might not even have the sword."
They will go out! Last year, Hengshan wanted to join forces, and they relied on Ye Ming of Songshan to fight against it. Now it's our turn, and they actually boarded the Jinyiwei's ship!"
As an example of Hengshan's past, Hao Bansheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Hengshan has always been the biggest enemy of the Five Sacred Sects. No matter who comes to power, they will oppose it, so in order to avoid future troubles, we must strike first!
