Chapter 176: Lanyue Sect? Troublemaker! Open the gates!
After rewarding people based on their merits, the elders, led by the four elders of the Huode Sect, looked at Huo Kunlun and others with ferocious eyes, as if they wanted to eat them!
When they dispersed, Lin Fan said to Su Xinghai: "Great Elder, the day of opening the mountain gate is approaching. This year, without the obstruction of the Ximen family, there should be many people coming."
"Our Lanyue Sect is becoming more and more powerful, so we must do this well."
"Don't worry, Sect Master!"
Su Xinghai patted his chest loudly: "If I can't even do such a small thing, I don't deserve to be in this position. I'd better find a piece of tofu and kill myself!"
"Hahaha, that's too serious."
Lin Fan was in a good mood.
We have survived another crisis, and at least we can enjoy ourselves for another year!!!
Moreover, watching the sect becoming more and more powerful, he really felt the pleasure of playing a development game and constantly improving.
Now, the five elders have all turned to practice the Moon-Swallowing Immortal Art, and their cultivation and combat power have skyrocketed.
The second elder has entered the sixth realm!
The other four elders are already at the eighth and ninth levels of the fifth realm, and are not far from the sixth realm.
Among the inner sect disciples, the strongest has already reached the seventh or eighth level of the third realm.
As long as they can continue to develop, in another ten or eight years at most, even if he and the cheaters are no longer around, the Lanyue Sect will be able to stand on its own!
By then, even if we can't defeat the first-rate sects, there's nothing wrong in dealing with the second-rate sects.
"Moreover, this incident has made me make a new discovery."
"Well... I can't say it's a brand new discovery. It's something I've thought about before, but it hasn't been verified. Now, I can finally confirm it."
"Crisis can be 'hedged'!"
"I remember when I first thought that most of the main character templates were Novice Village Destroyers, I comforted myself that perhaps the risks could be hedged between multiple main character templates."
"This time... should it be considered as such?"
“The crisis of Mahayana Buddhism originates from Suyan.”
"And the Hidden Soul Hall originated from Xiao Ling'er."
"Originally, if any of them came alone, it would have been a huge test for the Lanyue Sect, but when they showed up together, they started fighting each other first."
"Isn't this a perfect confirmation of my conjecture?"
"Of course, the reason why this crisis was so easy was because of Xiao Long Nu and the Guan Tian Mirror."
"With the celestial mirror here, even the arhats of Mahayana Buddhism wouldn't dare to act recklessly."
"I just don't know what the Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva will choose."
“···”
Lin Fan was a little worried.
But again, everything that can be done has been done.
He couldn't think of a better solution.
In this case, all we can do is wait.
······
Mahayana Buddhism, the little monk and the Eighteen Arhats are back.
He still looked flustered.
They then went to find Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva to report their experiences.
However, when Namo Gatling Bodhisattva saw that they returned empty-handed, he became furious.
"What the hell do you guys do for food?"
"I asked you to bring back my beloved disciple, but you went to chop off other people's heads for fun?"
"You turned a deaf ear to my words, didn't you?"
"ah?!"
The monks, both big and small, knelt down on the ground, trembling, and said, "Buddha, please calm down. We did not do this on purpose, but there were many unexpected events on this trip."
"Please allow me to explain in detail..."
"good."
Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva laughed angrily: "I will give you some time to see how you can quibble!"
"explain!"
“···”
They breathed a sigh of relief and quickly recounted every detail of their experience. They added, "We never expected that the Moon-Raising Sect would have such a relationship with the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land."
"Even the Sky-viewing Mirror is in the Lanyue Sect. This matter is of great importance, and we dare not make a decision on our own..."
"Besides, we can't beat him."
"You can't beat him, but you don't know how to contact me?"
Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva glared: "Am I afraid of the Wanhua Holy Land?"
Arhat Jianglong touched his shiny forehead and trembled as he said, "Also, that...the leader of the Lanyue Sect and his disciples all said that they have been communicating with you for a long time."
"Um?"
The Bodhisattva, like an angry Vajra, cursed: "What the hell have I been communicating with them for?"
"You guys are so fucking confused from chanting the sutras, aren't you?"
"You all believe this?"
"Go, go back immediately and bring my disciple back to me. If my disciple runs away, I will peel off your skin!"
"Bodhisattva...Bodhisattva." The Subduing Tiger Arhat trembled and said, "This is too bizarre, and we don't believe it, but he told us that it was Lin Fan, also known as the Venerable Barrett."
"There is another disciple, called the Artificial Sun Fist Monk..."
"What they said was very convincing and it was related to you, the Bodhisattva. We dare not be careless or make any hasty conclusions, so we rushed back to report to you as soon as possible."
"If what they say is false, we will definitely fight back immediately."
They didn't even dare to raise their heads at this moment.
He didn't even dare to scan randomly with his spiritual sense.
Therefore, no one noticed that at this moment, Namo Gatlin Bodhisattva's expression was extremely wonderful and a bit excited!
"Venerable Barrett."
"Artificial Sun Fist Monk..."
"In other words, there are two more fellow villagers?"
"Moreover, they have actually recognized each other and become master and apprentice?"
"This is a bit bizarre."
He muttered, "I've been here for so many years, and I've never found any trace of my fellow villagers. They even named me Gatling and used Gatling as their weapon."
"I never thought that two of them would suddenly appear just as I was leaving. And they were forced to reveal their identities under such circumstances. It's quite interesting."
He sighed secretly.
Once upon a time, I tried my best to find my fellow villagers, but found nothing.
I don't know how many years have passed, I had given up long ago, but suddenly they popped up, and there were more than one~!
At this moment, he suddenly had an impulse.
That is, he immediately appeared in front of Lin Fan and others, dismissed their attendants, had a long conversation with them, expressed his longing for his hometown, and talked about the past with the thinking and tone of a modern person.
But then he suppressed the thought.
"So many years have passed, there's no need to rush."
"It's not the right time to go there now."
He was a little helpless, but he smiled freely.
What does it matter?
After years of practice, his heart has become as hard as a rock, but only a trace of softness remains in the deepest part of his heart.
"Since we are from the same hometown, I think you understand this. My good disciple is in the same situation with them. It's a pity that there is no one to inherit this legacy."
"Don't wait until I'm gone and Mahayana Buddhism becomes a place where filth and dirt are hidden..."
"Forget it, forget it. I won't be around by then, so why would I care about these things?"
"Besides, there is still some time. Maybe there will be another opportunity to accept a disciple later."
"We can talk about contacting each other later if we have the chance."
He pondered secretly.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, the young monk plucked up the courage to say, "Bodhisattva, what do you mean..."
"What do you mean, Laozi?"
Namo Gatling Bodhisattva narrowed his eyes and said, "Humph, I've thought about it again. It's not your fault. After all, it's related to the Wanhua Holy Land."
"Go down."
"That's right."
"Those two are indeed my good friends who I have known for a long time."
"In the future, unless it is necessary, you must not target the Lanyue Sect."
Really?!
Amitabha!
The young monks and arhats were all shocked, and their hearts were filled with turmoil.
They thought of many possibilities, but they never thought that the big boss would admit it himself.
It was at this moment that they couldn't help but think wildly, wondering what the relationship was between this big guy and Lin Fan and the others. After all, the two of them were clearly only in their twenties.
Could it be...
The reincarnation of a great being from previous eras? !
Could it be... that there really is reincarnation?!
······
Inside the Hidden Soul Hall.
The deputy hall master looked at the many guardians and elders present with a grim look, and his expression gradually became colder.
"You're all very nice."
"Most of the tasks assigned by this deputy hall master were completed successfully. Even if there were some shortages, it was not a big problem. However, the group of Jiu Hufa and others from the southwest region greatly disappointed this hall master!"
The many elders and guardians below looked at each other in curiosity.
"The mission in the southwest region failed?"
"Where are the Jiu Guardian and his men?"
"Is he being punished?"
"This is a bit strange. Among the eight regions, only the Southwest Region is the most scattered. There are thousands of sects, which can be described as a pile of loose sand. It should be the easiest, right?"
"They can't even complete the mission in the Southwest Region. If they go to other regions, their performance will be even worse. Dharma Protector Jiu... is so incompetent~!"
"The mission of the Southwest Region cannot be completed. Protector Jiu has failed in his duty!"
"Deputy Palace Master, I suggest that the Protector Jiu be severely punished!"
"He should be fired!"
Some are surprised and suspicious.
There are also people who take advantage of others' misfortunes.
After all, it is a huge, top-notch force, with complex intricacies and fierce internal struggles.
However, the deputy hall master snorted coldly: "Dismissal? No need."
"Even the flower drum was taken away, and you are still dismissed?"
"He is not derelict in his duty, he is incompetent!"
The message has not yet come back.
So, they didn't know what was going on.
However, the life tablets of Jiu Hufa and others in the Hidden Soul Hall had exploded, so they knew that Jiu Hufa and others were already dead!
The demon sect is inherently "brutal" and only cares about their own interests, without any humanity at all.
At this moment, there will naturally not be any good words.
"Dead?"
The guardians and elders were stunned, and then became even more unscrupulous.
“Good death!”
"Incompetent indeed."
"Humph, as the golden guardian of my Hidden Soul Palace, he died in the Southwest Region. He is too incompetent."
"It's better to die early, don't bring shame to others and make my palace a laughing stock."
"Is it funny?"
At this moment, a cold and questioning voice was heard from outside the hall.
Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see the youngest Protector Li striding towards them. He was breathing rapidly and his breath was extremely weak, and it seemed that he would faint at any moment, but he was extremely angry and aggrieved.
"I ask you, is it funny?"
"snort!"
An elder angrily shouted, "Li Protector, you are just a bronze protector, how dare you be so presumptuous? Don't forget your status!"
"good!"
"Besides, you and the others went to the southwest region to carry out a mission with Protector Jiu, but due to your incompetence, almost all of your troops were wiped out. They all died, and only you escaped back. How dare you talk nonsense here?"
"Isn't it funny that they can't even handle the scattered Southwest Region?"
"Funny, isn't it?"
Li Hufa looked ferocious, like a ghost: "Okay, then I'll tell you what is funny!"
"Incompetence is incompetence!"
"You still want to quibble?"
Everyone scolded.
The deputy hall master said coldly: "Shut up!"
"Protector Li, please tell me in detail what happened!"
“Yes, Deputy Palace Master.” Protector Li took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said angrily: “It’s not that Protector Jiu is incompetent! Originally, we have completed eighty to ninety percent of the mission. We only need one last vote to complete it successfully and return!”
"We selected our final target a few days ago and took action a few days ago."
"Before that, we had already made all the preparations. We relied on our intelligence network and used our brains to make everything almost perfect."
"But, only after we started to act did we realize that we were so wrong!"
"The Lanyue Sect...is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Even the term "hidden and profound" is far from enough to describe it!"
"Lan Yue Sect?"
Everyone was surprised.
The deputy hall master frowned and said, "Go on."
Dharma Protector Li cupped his hands and said with a sad smile, "As for the rest of them, we were well prepared and not afraid of them. But no one expected that when we were about to take action, the Mahayana Buddhists arrived."
"Mahayana Buddhism?"
Everyone was shocked, and many people exclaimed in surprise.
"Why are those bald donkeys here?"
"If those bald donkeys..."
"It's not just an ordinary bald donkey!" Li Hufa gritted his teeth, "But all the Eighteen Arhats have come!"
"What will happen when we, the people of Hidden Soul Hall, encounter the Eighteen Arhats of Mahayana Buddhism? I don't need to say more, right?"
"A great war was about to break out. Dharma Protector Jiu led us to fight the enemy desperately, but we were ultimately defeated. The foundation of the holy land is far beyond imagination, and the combat power of the Eighteen Arhats is also invincible."
"Fu Hu alone made us throw away our weapons and armor."
"With all the eighteen Arhats attacking us, we can't even survive one round."
"Afterwards, all the Dharma protectors fought desperately to protect their fellow disciples, but they were killed one after another. In the end, I was the only one who was lucky enough to escape..."
The deputy hall master took a deep look at Protector Li and thought to himself that this boy was no ordinary man.
They are all from the Demon Sect, and they are all thousand-year-old foxes. Who can you fool, kid?
In order to protect their fellow disciples, they all fought to the death?
Oh.
How come I didn't know they were so good?
When will those selfish guys fight to the death for their fellow disciples?
I wouldn't even dare to dream of such a situation~!
But he didn't say much. Now, everyone else was dead, and there was no benefit in exposing Protector Li. Moreover, this way, at least Protector Jiu and others would die in a more "pleasant" way.
only···
This kid, I'm afraid he had to "sacrifice" everyone else in order to come back alive?
So cruel and ruthless.
He is still so young, and he is a good candidate.
He didn't think there was anything wrong.
Cruel and ruthless, sacrificing fellow disciples?
Hey, who in the Demon Sect is not ruthless? Without being ruthless, how can one survive in the Demon Sect and even become the guardian of the Hidden Soul Hall? What a joke!
As for sacrificing fellow disciples, all the members of the Demon Sect will swear an oath not to attack their fellow disciples, so sacrifice is at most letting others take the blame, so it is not a big deal.
In fact, such a ruthless and courageous person would be valued more by the top leaders of the Demon Sect.
Not just the deputy hall master.
The other elders and guardians could also guess this, but they just flickered their eyes and did not interrupt.
After all, if I were faced with that situation, I might not be able to perform very well.
So what if I really sold out my teammates?
I am not afraid of selling out my teammates, I am just afraid that I won’t sell them fast enough and someone else will get there first.
This is not.
That old fellow Jiu Hufa is just like that.
At such an old age, he was sold out by this little guy and ended up dying. It's really...tsk tsk tsk tsk.
But, I can’t tell.
This guardian Xiao Li is so young, yet he is so cruel and clever. In the future, we must be careful and alert.
Their minds raced.
Dharma Protector Li was filled with grief and indignation: "Let me ask you, facing the combined efforts of the Eighteen Arhats of Mahayana Buddhism, who among you present, except for the Deputy Hall Master, dares to claim victory?"
"Who dares to say that he can get away with it?"
"Let alone escaping unscathed, let me ask, who among you dares to say that you can definitely survive?"
A group of gold and silver medal guardians, and even the elders, were so shocked that their mouths were crooked and their eyes were squinting, but no one said a word.
A holy place is a holy place after all.
The Eighteen Arhats...are considered the professional fighters of Mahayana Buddhism.
It’s not that strong, but it’s also one of the facades.
Generally speaking, the Eighteen Arhats are enough.
After all, they not only have their own strength, but also the Mahayana Buddhism behind them. That is a holy land! Those who can't beat them don't dare to fight, and those who can beat them... generally don't dare to fight either.
Bodhisattva? Or even 'Buddha'?
Unless something big happens, there is no need for them to take action.
Among them, there are quite a few who have reached the eighth level of cultivation.
However, few people have the confidence to fight against the Eighteen Arhats.
After all, cultivation cannot represent absolute combat power. The background of people in the holy land is too amazing.
Especially professional fighters like the Eighteen Arhats, whose skills, equipment, and auxiliary items are all top-notch.
"That's all!"
Dharma Protector Li cried out, "If it were only the Eighteen Arhats, we might not be so miserable, but... who knows, even greater terror is yet to come!"
"The Great Terror?"
"What great terror?"
They were surprised.
My goodness, the actions of the people from the Holy Land are nothing, there is also a great terror???
Are you bragging about hemp skin?
"It seems that the Holy Mother of Ten Thousand Flowers has taken action, and the Sky-viewing Mirror has appeared!!!"
“Even though I had already run a long way under the protection of the Jiu Protector and the others, I could still feel that extremely terrifying fluctuation! The moment the Sky Observing Mirror captured it, it was as if the entire world and everything in the universe collapsed.”
"Even my heartbeat and soul were frozen."
"If that person hadn't stopped at the critical moment, I would definitely not have been able to come back."
After a pause, he panted, and swept his eyes over all the guardians and elders present, and said, "I would like to ask everyone, facing this situation, who dares to say that they can complete the task."
"Who dares to say that they can definitely survive and be safe and sound? "
Everyone turned pale.
Some people even shuddered.
"Guan...Guan Tianjing?"
"This is impossible!"
"The Sky-viewing Mirror is the sacred artifact of the Wanhua Holy Land! You can understand the appearance of the Eighteen Arhats, but the Wanhua Holy Mother and the Sky-viewing Mirror? There is absolutely no such possibility!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Li Hufa was furious: "Nonsense?"
"Okay, okay, there were many people who saw it at that time. I think there will be news coming back soon. Whether it is true or not, you will know it by then!"
“That’s enough!”
The deputy hall master waved his hand and hummed, "I believe in Protector Li."
"Besides, it's not impossible."
"Ah?!" Everyone was shocked: "Is this not possible?"
"How could it be!"
"How could the Virgin Mary of All Flowers possibly go..."
"That's possible!" The deputy hall master interrupted everyone and said with great certainty, "It's been more than ten thousand years since then, it's a long time ago."
“Also, Wanhua Holy Land tried its best to hide it at the beginning, so this can be considered a small secret and not many people know about it.”
He sighed, “There is already a somewhat inexplicable relationship between the Lanyue Sect and the Wanhua Holy Land.”
"They seem like enemies, but also like family. It's a bit confusing."
“I don’t know what happened between them, but as far as I know, the reason why the Lanyue Sect was able to retain a little spark and was not destroyed was because of the protection of the Wanhua Holy Land.”
"Since the Wanhua Holy Land has protected the Lanyue Sect once before, it may not be impossible this time."
"only···"
"If this is true, then the relationship between the Moon-Raising Sect and the Wanhua Holy Land is far from as simple as others have guessed, and it is extraordinary!"
After saying this, without paying any attention to the shocked crowd, the deputy hall master continued, "The Southwest Territory is in trouble right now, so it's not appropriate to go there for now. Dharma Protector Lou, take your people and go to other regions to replenish the required gods!"
"Otherwise, if we delay the Palace Master's important business, we will all die!"
"Yes, Deputy Palace Master!"
Protector Lou was fully aware of the importance of the matter and did not dare to delay, so he immediately took people there.
"Everyone, please leave."
The deputy hall master waved his hand and said, "Protector Li, stay."
soon.
There were only two of them left in the hall.
The deputy hall master hesitated for a moment and said, "Protector Li, I know you have some grudges against the Lanyue Sect, but now you have also seen that the Lanyue Sect is not simple!"
"It is natural to take revenge when there is revenge and to take grievances when there is grievance, but you must also know when to stop."
"Don't let your personal vengeance lead me into an irretrievable situation."
"Otherwise, even if the Palace Master is optimistic about you, I, the Deputy Palace Master, will never be merciful."
"...I understand." Li Hufa responded: "Besides, if this is true, not to mention you, the deputy hall master, even the hall master will never let me go, right?"
"Just so you know."
The deputy hall master hummed.
"Deputy Palace Master, if there is nothing else, I would like to go and heal my wounds first."
"Go ahead."
He nodded slightly.
Then, looking at the back of Li Hufa walking away, he said gloomily: "Don't make the mistake..."
······
"snort."
After walking a long way, Protector Li turned around and looked coldly towards the hall.
But after just one glance, he turned around, with murderous intent surging in his heart.
"Hidden Soul Palace?"
"It shouldn't exist in this world."
"If it didn't help me with my revenge..."
"That's all."
"Please wait a little longer."
"Once I am somewhat confident..."
······
There are two days left until the grand opening of the mountain gate this year.
Today, the Lanyue Sect already has 108 sacred peaks, and there are 13 neighboring sects in the surrounding area. Four of them started from humble beginnings and have not really grown yet, with only three or five sacred peaks.
The other nine sects are doing quite well among the third-rate sects.
But at this moment, these thirteen sects all had a headache.
And I don’t know what to do.
In Bishui Pavilion, the founder of the religion, Li Fengshan, has been worried and uneasy.
This year is even worse.
At this moment, he and a group of elders were discussing arrangements for tomorrow.
The elders had already taken out the charter, but found that Li Fengshan was frowning and dazed. He did not respond for a long time. They looked at each other and then called out softly, "Master."
"Pavilion Master?"
Li Fengshan gradually came back to his senses: "Hmm?"
"What did you say?"
The elders: “…”
"Master, tomorrow is the day to open the gates to the mountain. We have already drawn up the rules. Do you think it is okay to follow this method?"
After listening to them, Li Fengshan frowned.
The Great Elder hesitated: "Does Pavilion Master feel that this is inappropriate?"
"If there is anything wrong, please point it out so we can modify it."
He kept a low profile.
Li Fengshan is very strong. Although he is only the leader of a third-rate sect, his personal strength has reached the sixth level.
Originally he was just an unknown casual cultivator, but later he had a chance encounter and founded the Bishui Pavilion. Now, in just a few hundred years, he has built more than 40 sacred mountains and has more than 100,000 disciples...
Perhaps in another hundred or ten years, it will be qualified to become a second-rate sect.
Therefore, the elders admired him very much.
But at this moment, Li Fengshan shook his head in great distress: "No."
"Nothing wrong?"
The elder was stunned: "Then we will follow this rule..."
"etc."
Li Fengshan waved his hands and sighed.
"Master, is there anything bothering you?" the second elder asked cautiously.
"Forget it. I'll just talk to you. You are all my backbones. If we need to make a decision, we should discuss it with you."
Li Fengshan took a deep breath: "I think..."
"This year, the mountain gate will not be opened."
"ah?!"
The elders were all confused: "Why is this?"
"Pavilion Master, our Bishui Pavilion is thriving, and it is the time when we should vigorously develop. In the long run, at most a hundred years, we can become a second-rate sect. Why did you suddenly..."
"Don't worry, just listen to me."
Li Fengshan said helplessly: "I know that this is a critical period of development. But I feel uneasy!"
"I was still hesitant at first, but the events of the past two days have made me even more uneasy."
"I didn't have this idea until just now."
"Two days ago?"
The Great Elder reacted: "Lan Yue Sect?!"
"good."
Li Fengshan nodded and said slowly: "The Lanyue Sect was originally unknown, but in the past few years, it has become well-known. It is difficult for us 'neighbors' not to pay attention to it."
"Especially in the past two years, the six sects including Yulin Palace have all moved away. After Lanyue Sect took over their territory, it has directly bordered our sect."
"It would be fine if it was just a border, but this Lanyue Sect... is too restless!"
"This... is indeed the case." Talking about the uneasy Lanyue Sect, the elders all felt a little tingling on their scalps.
At the same time, I couldn't help but complain one after another.
"The Moon-Lan Clan is too crazy!"
"There has never been a peaceful year!"
"To be honest, I am always worried every day. I am afraid that the Lanyue Sect will do something weird again, or provoke some powerful enemy and be attacked by them."
"Who says it's not true? Those powerful enemies are so strong. In the past few years, although there were strong men from the Haoyue Sect who showed up, they didn't take action. But since last year, first-rate forces have jumped out and taken action, and there are more than one!"
"This year is good!"
"The first-rate forces didn't come, but a super first-rate force, the Hidden Soul Palace, suddenly appeared."
"It's first-rate, so what? Then the holy land of Mahayana Buddhism popped up, and even the Sky Mirror appeared. Isn't this a super double?"
"And it's a bit too much to double it. From first-rate to super first-rate plus two holy places, this???"
"What a troublemaker!"
"We... have a lot of suffering to share."
Listening to them complaining, Li Fengshan remained extremely calm, because that was what he thought, so he naturally didn't find it strange.
In fact, he was the one who was most painful and worried.
Because he is the master of Bishui Pavilion and also the founder of the religion.
At the same time, he is also the strongest one.
He is responsible for the entire Bishui Pavilion and everyone.
And in the eyes of others, he is the 'tall guy'. Even if the sky falls, there is still the tall guy to hold it up.
But God knows that even a tall guy like me would find it extremely difficult?
I can’t stand it!
I can’t stand it at all!
This is the troublemaker of Lanyue Sect. If any enemy gets angry and ruthless, he will launch a large-scale attack...
The Lanyue Sect should be able to withstand it.
But our fucking Bishui Pavilion can’t hold on!
By then, everyone will die, including myself!
Who the hell can I go to for justice?
Who wouldn’t be worried if this happened to anyone?
"Do you understand what I'm worried about now?" Li Fengshan sighed again, "It's not that there's anything wrong with your charter, but I'm really worried about having Lanyue Sect as my neighbor, and I can't sleep."
Everyone: “…”
There is actually nothing wrong with this.
At first, everyone was just frightened and worried, but no one said anything.
No one else has said anything, but you are the first to speak? Wouldn't that make you look like a wimp and a coward?
At this moment, Li Fengshan personally brought up the topic, and they stopped pretending.
fact···
It's so cruel.
What the hell should I do?
"It's really like a thorn in my throat, making it hard for me to sleep or eat."
The second elder smiled bitterly: "But... we can't just stop eating because of choking, right?"
"Our Bishui Pavilion must always develop. Although the Lanyue Sect may bring many dangers, but this, this..."
"I know what you're thinking." Li Fengshan waved his hand gently: "But as the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."
"I am not a gentleman, but I am definitely not a fool or someone who is not afraid of death."
"Knowing that Lan Yue Zong is a troublemaker and that something bad will happen sooner or later if you stay with him, yet you still don't do anything and just wait for death? This is not a wise move!"
"Besides, even if the Lanyue Sect doesn't cause any trouble, and there are no powerful enemies coming, or those powerful enemies are very 'honest' and 'kind-hearted' and won't vent their anger on the surrounding sects... can we rest assured?"
The Seventh Elder was stunned: "Ah? You can't rest assured?"
"Of course not!"
The Great Elder said depressedly: "Seventh Brother, don't look at the problem too one-sidedly. Think about it, with the current development speed of the Lanyue Sect and its 'weird' vitality, what would happen if there were no strong enemies?"
"Of course it's developing rapidly, and the speed is so fast that it's simply shocking... ah?!"
"Have you figured it out?" Li Fengshan tapped the table and said quietly, "With their speed of development, it won't be long before they continue to expand. If the Lanyue Sect expands, won't we, the neighbors, be the first to bear the brunt?"
"By then, if we are unwilling to retreat, there will be a fight."
"But if we retreat, wouldn't that be making things easier for others?"
"So, in fact, although our Bishui Pavilion seems to be thriving, in reality, it is already in danger, and there is almost no other way to go."
"Only..."
The elders were annoyed.
They were originally just worried and wanted to complain and vent their grievances.
But I didn't expect that things would develop to this point.
So critical!
"Although we only have one way to go, it is not necessarily a bad thing. As the saying goes, misfortune often brings blessings, and blessings often bring misfortune. Whether it is a misfortune or a blessing depends on how we arrange it."
Li Fengshan had been thinking about it for a long time, and now that he expressed his concerns, he felt much more relaxed.
"If we use it properly, perhaps we can even profit from it!"
"It's just that the mountain gate will not be open this year."
"ah?"
"Master, do you have any idea?"
"I want to hear your opinion."
The elders asked again and again.
Li Fengshan was also unambiguous and said, "You still remember the Yulin Palace and the other six sects, right?"
"I guess you have heard about their choices?"
The Great Elder nodded and said, "They exchanged all their sacred mountains and other things to the Lanyue Sect. I heard that they got a lot of supplies in exchange and merged into the Hongwu Immortal Alliance."
"It seems that I have been living quite comfortably recently. With the support of Hongwu Sanxian, I don't have to worry about external threats at all, and there is almost no internal fighting. Even on the day when the mountain gate is opened, Hongwu Xiancheng will help to arrange it..."
"good!"
Li Fengshan sighed: "That's it."
"Originally, I didn't want to be inferior to others. That's why I chose to create my own power and build it from scratch."
"But now that things have come to this, I can no longer act on impulse. I have to be responsible for the entire Bishui Pavilion and for everyone. Therefore, I have to make a choice."
"Perhaps, the best choice is to exchange our Lingshan and everything that cannot be taken away to Lanyue Sect, and then join Hongwu Immortal Alliance."
"As for the fear that follows..."
"Let other sects come."
"I don't want to live in fear every day anymore."
"this···"
The elders looked at each other, then smiled bitterly: "We don't have any objections, but, isn't this too unfair to the Pavilion Master?"
“No grievance!”
"I volunteered!"
Li Fengshan felt helpless and wanted to curse.
What the hell kind of days have I been living through recently!
We have to worry about competitors around us, we have to worry about the sudden expansion of Lanyue Sect, and we also have to worry about those powerful enemies provoked by Lanyue Sect, the troublemaker, suddenly jumping out to kill us...
Rather than continue to suffer here, I would rather endure a little injustice and be inferior to others.
Although I will lose some freedom, at least I don't have to be scared to death or lose sleep every day.
Then, he added: "However, we can't just come here like this. There are too few of us to negotiate!"
"so..."
"This year, our sect will not open its gates."
"Elders, divide your time and go contact the other twelve sects bordering the Lanyue Sect to discuss this matter."
"Go ask them if there are people who share the same concerns and ideas as our sect!"
"If there is, let's discuss it. After tomorrow, we will go to Lanyue Sect together to discuss it with Lin Fan."
"It's easier to talk with more people."
"And the price will definitely be higher!"
"rational!"
"yes."
"Master, rest assured, we will go there immediately."
“···”
······
Soon, many elders of the Bishui Pavilion split up and went to the other twelve sects.
Since they were not far away and the Bishui Pavilion was considered to be a well-known existence among the surrounding sects, they soon met the leaders of each sect.
At first, they were quite nervous.
after all···
My coming here seems to be persuading these sects to give in and run away with me.
If the other person doesn't have this idea, or has a stronger temper, I'm afraid that at best he'll scold me and kick me out, or at worst... he'll probably resort to violence!
However.
Just as they spoke with trepidation and expressed their intentions, they found that the other party all showed an expression of "very pleasing to them" and complained to them in return.
Tianyin Sect.
"This proposal is very much to my liking, very much to my liking!"
"These days, this sect master has been unable to sleep or eat well, and has been thinking about what to do. Li Fengshan's method is excellent!"
"Then let's make it a deal!"
“···”
Purple Cloud Gate.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"Why didn't you come earlier?"
"For the past two years, I couldn't eat or sleep. I wasn't even interested in women. My hair was falling out in clumps. Did you know that I pulled it out myself?!"
"If you had come earlier, wouldn't I have let it go long ago?"
"Do you think I want to stay with this troublemaker? I can't save face because you guys didn't run away."
"Now, our two families will run together. Even if we are ridiculed by others, at least we will have company, right?"
“···”
Half a day later.
The elders returned.
The news he brought back made Li Fengshan breathe a sigh of relief and he was overjoyed.
When the news was gathered, the leaders and rulers of the other twelve sects also laughed.
"Everyone agrees?"
"It's not two sects, it's the thirteen sects including us?"
“Great!”
"In this case, who dares to laugh at us?"
"Mockery? What do you mean by mockery? We call this a strategic adjustment. The thirteen sects will advance and retreat together. Anyone who dares to mock me will be killed!!!"
"That's absolutely true! That's absolutely true!"
"Sucking salty chicken shit? Do you still have this habit?"
"Get out, get out of here!"
"Well, sorry, sorry, I wasn't like this before, but I really couldn't sleep in the past two years. I was too excited today, so I got a little carried away. Please forgive me, please forgive me~"
"Well, then let's get ready. After tomorrow, we will go to Lanyue Sect together~!"
"good!"
“···”
······
A night passed.
The day to open the mountain gate has arrived.
There are thirteen sects including the Bishui Pavilion, plus the Lanyue Sect, a total of fourteen sects.
There are no less than 500,000 people coming to pay homage to the mountain!
But they soon discovered that the gates of thirteen sects, including the Bishui Pavilion and the Tianyin Sect, were all closed...
"Not accepting disciples?"
"Why is this?"
The boys and girls who had traveled across mountains and rivers were stunned.
Fortunately, good news soon came.
"The gates of the Lanyue Sect are wide open, and they are still recruiting disciples!"
"hiss?!"
"Go quickly!"
At this moment, they no longer care about their original goal and hurried to Lanyue Sect to try their luck.
Besides, the Lanyue Sect has become very famous in the past few years, which is not bad.
But many people cried.
"I have no skills, I can't make it!"
"What should I do?"
