Hu Qianzhong's condition was just a slight whitewash of his ambition to annex the Taishan Sect. Moreover, as a person with a strong desire for control and selfishness, he was not even willing to support a puppet to take power, but took over the power himself.
This action obviously made his sending people to persuade him to surrender this time look ridiculous and hateful, but Hu Qianzhong didn't care.
Just like the essence of Hengshan's swordsmanship that he has practiced, Hengshan's martial arts emphasizes the word "Cunning" and the word "Quickness". Obviously, he has no master in the former, but he has a deep understanding of the latter.
This attack on the Taishan Sect was launched suddenly when everyone was unprepared. The purpose was to create an established fact first, so that even if the rest of the Zhengdao people reacted, the problem would be over.
At this moment, facing the harsh annexation conditions of the Hengshan Sect, the Taishan Sect was wailing from top to bottom.
Although this group of people really has no future, who is willing to watch the sect that has been passed down for hundreds of years be destroyed in their own hands?
The temporary leader pushed out by the Taishan sect at this moment is named Du Zheng, who is the younger brother of the deceased Du Cheng. He was originally a disgraceful figure who relied on his brother's prestige to do mischief in the sect.
However, when this group of dragons had no leader and everyone was at a loss, everyone pushed this kid out again, forcing the power of the Taishan Sect that Du Zheng once dreamed of but now avoided to rest on him.
Du Zheng really felt that the world was falling. Before the Hengshan faction's messenger left, they only had half a day to think about it. If they couldn't reach an agreement, they would annex by force.
Nowadays, the Taishan Sect, which is overworked and injured, faces the Hengshan Sect, which is like a hungry wolf. You don't have to think about it to know what the result will be like.
Du Zheng looked at his brother's memorial tablet in the mourning hall, and then at the group of lost classmates behind him. He couldn't help but feel sad, and he lay on the ground and began to cry.
As he cried, the disciples behind him also began to howl like ghosts and wolves. In the midst of this sorrowful cry, an untimely laughter suddenly broke in.
Everyone was startled, and Du Zheng also raised his head in surprise. He saw a figure appearing next to the coffin in the mourning hall. He was wearing a black windbreaker and a wide hood. While laughing, he actually picked up the coffin in a frivolous manner.
Eat the tributes on the table.
"Asshole, who are you, how dare you-!"
When Du Zheng saw this, he immediately became angry. He jumped up and cursed, but before he could finish his words, an embroidered spring knife fell on his shoulder.
The chilling chill on his neck gave Du Zheng goosebumps all over his body, and he knelt down as soon as his legs went weak.
"Jin, Jin Yiwei!"
Du Zheng trembled and called out this name. As a disciple of the Taishan Sect, which was once the first-class sect in the world, he was naturally familiar with this embroidered spring knife.
The sudden appearance of the Jin Yiwei made things worse for the Taishan Sect at this moment. They were really on the verge of crying. There were wolves in front of them and tigers in the back. They were about to die.
What Du Zheng and the others didn't know was that Jin Yiwei was originally following Hengshan.
Although Hu Qianzhong knew how to do things quickly and successfully deceived the eyes of various sects, he could not hide it from the Jin Yiwei who had been watching them from the beginning.
As early as when Hu Qianzhong turned east, Lu Hanjiang had already made a judgment that the other party's destination was Mount Tai, so he arranged manpower to follow up from the beginning.
The Jin Yiwei who came to Mount Tai at this moment worked for Fusi in Beizhen, and his position reached 100 households. However, he was not well-known, but he was quite outstanding in his light skills, so he was selected to carry out this mission.
"What - what do you want to do?" The frightened Du Zheng tried hard to stand up, but found that his legs were not working at all. He was ashamed and scared and had to speak at the top of his voice.
I don't look too embarrassed.
Facing such weak-footed waste, the Jinyiwei Baihu showed no interest at all. He slowly put the Xiuchun Knife into its sheath, and then said: "The Taishan Sect is at the end of its rope, and I am here to protect you, who are about to become the ghosts of hell."
This guy, give me an opportunity."
The Jin Yiwei's words were very insulting, but no one in Taishan dared to say a word to argue with them.
After Du Zheng took several deep breaths, he said with a serious face, "Your Excellency, there is no need to say anything more. The affairs of our Taishan Sect should naturally be handled by ourselves without causing your concern."
The Jin Yiwei sneered, pointed at the foot of the mountain in the direction where the Hengshan faction was stationed, and said, "What you're going to do is sell yourself to the Hengshan faction at a low price, and then use your life to fill in the road and bridge for them?"
The Jin Yiwei's words silenced the Taishan Sect. The most terrifying thing in the world is to tell the truth. They couldn't understand what kind of virtuous person Hu Qianzhong was.
Now that the conflict between the Five Sacred Mountains and the Xuantian Sect has become irreconcilable, it is almost inevitable that Hu Qianzhong will turn north to find trouble with the Xuantian Sect after cleaning up Mount Tai.
But with today's Hengshan, it is obviously fanciful to want to deal with the Xuantian Sect, but Hu Qianzhong, who cares about his face, cannot be slapped in the face without getting angry.
Therefore, the Hengshan faction's optimal solution is to fight, but they cannot fight with all their strength.
At this time, their group of Taishan disciples who had just taken refuge were natural cannon fodder. Hu Qianzhong was even more cruel and vicious than his master, Taoist Master Tianfeng.
Such people would never be so naive as to think that they could take advantage of the situation and seize power, and at the same time, be able to keep the people at bay. Therefore, dealing with these unstable factors in a timely manner is the path Hu Qianzhong is most likely to choose.
It is precisely because they have understood that their future fate will not be good, so these Taishan disciples will cry for their fathers and mothers in the mourning hall. Otherwise, if someone else comes, even if the Songshan sect led by Lu Wen comes, they will
Everyone will immediately look at the wind and fall without any hesitation.
After Jin Yiwei revealed the secret, Du Zheng no longer pretended to be a tough guy. He lay on the ground and began to beg for mercy: "Sir, please help me!"
Du Zheng was not sure what the consequences of cooperating with Jin Yiwei would be, but it was obvious that joining the Hengshan faction would most likely lead to death, so after much thought, he decided to take a gamble.
This Jin Yiwei didn't embarrass Du Zheng. After hearing this, he said kindly: "Those who know the current affairs care about heroes. Today, the Taishan Sect is willing to abandon the dark side and turn to the light. Naturally, I, the Jin Yiwei, will welcome it very much."
After saying this, some people from the Taishan sect below actually breathed a sigh of relief, and many of them had relaxed expressions on their faces.
Du Zhenggen immediately climbed up the pole and said: "Sir, the Taishan faction is willing to serve the imperial court. Please give me some advice and save me from this desperate situation."
The guard in Jinyi put his hands on his hands and smiled and said: "Don't worry, since you are willing to serve the imperial court, we will not let those mere Hengshan people bully you and others. However, it will take some time to mobilize the troops, so I ask you to show some of the spirit of Taishan disciples."
, let’s block Hengshan’s sword for the time being.”
Du Zheng showed a bitter expression and said: "Sir, it's not that we are greedy for life and afraid of death. In fact, Hu Qianzhong is very powerful in martial arts, and there are many masters under the Hengshan sect. We - I'm afraid we are no match."
"Don't worry," Jin Yiwei patted Du Zheng on the shoulder and said, "You can lead the men down the mountain to kill him. With my help secretly, as long as the thief is beheaded, the remaining Hengshan disciples will naturally scatter like birds and beasts."
"Young man, I understand." Du Zheng was hesitant, but at this moment he didn't have much choice.
While Du Zheng was greeting his brothers to prepare for a raid down the mountain, he sent the royal guard out the door.
Before leaving, the Jin Yiwei looked at the majestic Taishan Hall behind him and suddenly said something very emotional: "Taishan's swordsmanship is all about strength. He would rather break than bend. Hao Bansheng is considered a great man of his generation. It's ridiculous that he left behind such a thing."
"
After Du Zheng heard this, he did not dare to refute. His face turned red and white, and he was so ashamed that he could not raise his head.
