Looking at Gu Cheng, who looked like he was letting you choose generously, Xu Linchen suddenly had the idea of beating Jiang Hanlin violently.
Although Han Jingjing was also involved, his female apprentice was so cute that he couldn't do anything, so he had to beat Jiang Hanlin.
Gu Cheng said he was given three choices, but in fact Xu Linchen could only choose one, and that was the last one.
He knows the style of the Yuanchen Sect, even better than Gu Cheng. Once the two sides break up, his Qingyuan Sword Sect will definitely be implicated.
As for moving out of Nieyang Mansion, the price paid would be too high.
Although the Qingyuan Sword Sect is small, it is still a sect that has taken root in the local area. Once it moves out, its own interests will suffer a great loss, and moving to other places will also cause a lot of troubles.
Moving to a wealthy place would conflict with the local martial arts forces, and moving to a remote place would also affect his entire Qingyuan Sword Sect's practice.
So the only option available to him was the last one.
Looking at Xu Linchen's sad face, Gu Cheng shook his head gently and said: "Master Xu, Brother Jiang and Miss Han have known each other for a long time. However, it was only when I entered the Nie Yang Mansion today that I found out that the Qingyuan Sword Sect was actually a member of the Qingyuan Sword Sect.
Being in Nie Yang Mansion, this has to be said to be fate, or it is also an opportunity for Qingyuan Sword Sect.
I know your character, Master Xu. You are not good at fighting with others. You cannot compete with others for resources, and you cannot compete with others for disciples. That is why Qingyuan Sword Sect develops so slowly.
But in the arena, people have no control over themselves. If you don't fight, you will be at a disadvantage, and others will come to steal what you have.
This generation of Qingyuan Sword Sect can still maintain a certain degree of deterrence with you, but to put it bluntly, after your death, Sect Master Xu, who will be able to replace you in Qingyuan Sword Sect?"
Xu Linchen's expression changed slightly. Gu Cheng was right. Even he himself had realized this. There was indeed no disciple in the entire Qingyuan Sword Sect who could stand up to the challenge.
Jiang Hanlin has barely reached the eighth level until now, but even with this kind of cultivation, he is already considered the top among the young disciples of the Qingyuan Sword Sect. There is nothing wrong with him claiming to be an elite disciple.
Lack of resources, lack of experience, lack of many, many things, no matter how talented Jiang Hanlin is, his growth in this environment is limited.
Xu Linchen was silent for a long time, and finally said with a wry smile: "Mr. Gu, I understand everything you said, but what I don't understand is, why did you come to me?
I rarely fight with others. Although I have reached the sixth level of cultivation, I am actually the weakest among the sixth levels."
Although Xu Linchen didn't explicitly say that he wanted to side with Gu Cheng, he didn't refuse. In fact, he had already expressed his stance.
Gu Cheng smiled and said: "It's very simple for me to come to you, Master Xu. I don't want your force, but your intelligence.
When I first came to Nieyang Mansion, I had no foundation or channels. I couldn't even believe the night watchmen from the Jingyesi Division of Nieyang Mansion.
If you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger of a hundred battles, but I only know a general strength of the Yuanchen sect. How can I fight with the opponent if this continues?
But I heard that you, Sect Master Xu, are from the Nieyang Mansion. You have been hanging out in the Nieyang Mansion from the time you practiced till now to the founding of the sect. Over the past few decades, I believe that Sect Master Xu, you have great influence on the Nieyang Mansion and the Yuanchen Sect.
He must be very knowledgeable, that’s what I want to know.”
Xu Linchen let out a long breath and said: "Although I don't say that I understand all these things, as long as I know it, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
It turned out that Gu Cheng just wanted to find out some information from him, which made him relax a little.
Gu Cheng knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "I'm curious about one thing, why is the Yuanchen Sect so powerful in Nieyang Mansion?
On his birthday, Lu Bingzhong almost said the same thing, but I guess even if the Xuanwu Zhen Sect, the largest sect in Donglin County, comes, I'm afraid it won't be so powerful, right?"
Xu Linchen said: "It's actually very simple, it's just a combination of kindness and power.
Mr. Gu, don't look at Lu Bingzhong now with a kind-hearted look and an air of a virtuous man, but in fact he was famous for being ruthless and decisive when he was young.
Any sect that dares to offend Yuan Chen Sect, even verbally, will be directly attacked by him, and the most serious ones will be killed, while the least serious ones will have their martial arts abolished."
Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Can he handle being so domineering?"
Xu Linchen said: "I couldn't bear it at first, but then Lu Bingzhong seemed to have suffered a big loss when he met an outside practitioner. Later, he began to have an epiphany, and he successfully entered the realm of a master, changing his previous ruthlessness.
Resolutely and decisively, he began to use both kindness and power.
As long as the heirs of any sect ask him for advice on cultivation problems, he will come forward to give advice. Not to mention that all of these people can ascend to the position of head of the family, but most of them later became the head of the family, so naturally for them
Quite respectful.
In this way, when there is a conflict between the Yuanchen faction and them, as long as Lu Bingzhong comes forward to suppress others, no one will dare to disobey.
The relationship between Yuanchen Sect and Xuanwu Zhenzong is also very good.
Yan Shaokuan, the leader of this generation of Xuanwu Zhenzong, was valued by Lu Bingzhong when he was not yet the heir. Lu Bingzhong not only answered many questions about his practice, but even supported him as the successor. Later, Yan Shaokuan ascended to the position of the leader of Xuanwu Zhenzong.
He also respects him quite a bit, which adds even more power to the Yuanchen Sect."
Gu Cheng nodded understandingly.
Although he only had brief contact with people from the Yuanchen sect last time, he could also see the details of those people from the Yuanchen sect.
In his opinion, Qin Sheng is actually nothing to worry about. As the leader of a sect, he thinks too little about doing things, and his own strength is not enough. He has not yet entered the realm of a master, and he still wants to rely on external things to break through.
bottleneck.
But this old guy Lu Bingzhong is extraordinary. He spent almost the rest of his life weaving a large network in the entire Nieyang Prefecture martial arts world. Finally, at this moment, the entire Nieyang Prefecture martial arts community respected him respectfully and did not dare to have any inconvenience.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to have such patience.
"So, if I attack the Yuan Chen faction now, the entire martial arts community in Nie Yang Mansion will be my enemy?"
Xu Linchen affirmed: "Yes."
Gu Cheng asked: "Even so, it is a fact that the Yuanchen Sect has a domineering style. Do the sects of the Nie Yang Mansion really have no complaints at all?"
Xu Linchen smiled bitterly and said: "Of course there are complaints, but they have been suppressed within the sect. After all, the heads of the sects in Nieyang Mansion have all received the guidance of Lu Bingzhong, and Lu Bingzhong can also become the head of the house.
part of the help is in it.
If they stand up against the Yuanchen faction, they may not be able to secure their position first."
Gu Cheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Interesting, these people actually consider the interests of the Yuanchen sect first instead of their own interests, and it is their own sect leader who is the one who takes advantage of them. This is very interesting.
Sect Leader Xu, you know the martial arts of Nieyang Mansion very well, do you know which martial arts forces have the phenomenon of fighting for power and profit? Especially the kind where the sects of aristocratic families are incompatible with each other. "
Xu Linchen thought for a moment and said, "Some, but quite a few."
With that said, Xu Linchen told Gu Cheng all the detailed information about these martial arts forces, and then he hesitated and said: "Master Gu, are you prepared..."
Gu Cheng said with an unpredictable expression on his face: "Since the leaders of the martial arts forces are so committed to the Yuanchen Sect, and have even gone to the extent of suppressing the interests of their own sect, then I will help them change their leaders.
Here you go."
After finishing speaking, Gu Cheng turned his eyes to Xu Linchen, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you very much, Master Xu, for the information. I can guarantee that within a few months, there will no longer be a Supreme Ancestor at the head of the Nie Yang Prefecture's martial arts world.
suppress.
By then, even if I am not in Nieyang Mansion, there will still be people staying in Nieyang Mansion to support your Qingyuan Sword Sect."
After saying that, Gu Cheng immediately turned around and left.
At this time, Jiang Hanlin and Han Jingjing in the back hall saw Gu Cheng going out, but they ran out cunningly and asked: "Master, what did Brother Gu say to you?"
Xu Linchen did not answer their words, but looked outside the door, let out a long breath, and murmured: "The wind is blowing."
The storm is about to come, and the wind fills the building. Who knows what the martial arts forest in Nieyang Mansion will look like after the wind blows?
He, Xu Linchen, has been conscientious and stable all his life, and has never done anything risky. This is his first time gambling on his future, and it is also the last time. He only hopes that he can win.
After leaving Qingyuan Sword Sect, Gu Cheng went straight to the Golden Sword Gate of Nie Yang Mansion.
The Golden Sword Sect is what Xu Linchen said was one of the sects with the most serious internal strife, and the root of this internal strife also originated from Lu Bingzhong.
The current leader of the Golden Sword Sect, Gui Ru, was not actually the heir of the Golden Sword Sect in his early years. He and Xu Wangyuan, the current deputy sect leader of the Golden Sword Sect, were both outstanding disciples of the younger generation within the sect.
Not sure which one to choose, I decided to test the other person's ability and character.
In the end, Zhang Guiru seized the opportunity and spent all his wealth in exchange for a rare treasure. The Shangyuanchen Sect received Lu Bingzhong's guidance, and his attitude was so humiliating that Lu Bingzhong was very satisfied and even came to the Golden Sword Gate as a guest in person.
He said that Zhang Gui is quite talented.
Just such a sentence completely changed the balance between Zhang Guiru and Xu Wangyuan, allowing the previous generation boss to hand over the position of heir to Zhang Guiru.
Xu Wangyuan was quite unconvinced by this and felt that Zhang Guiru was too weak to win, so he went all out to catch up. After Zhang Guiru received the resource bonus from the heir, he followed him to the sixth level, and also won over many rivals in the sect.
The dissatisfied elder of the Chen sect became the deputy sect leader and fought against Zhang Guiru.
Although Xu Linchen is not very powerful, he has stayed in Nie Yang Mansion for a long enough time, so he can be said to know a lot about the private matters in the major sects. This Golden Sword Sect can be used as Gu Cheng's second
