Master Yun Hong looks like a mature man in his early thirties.

Although he usually speaks in a gentle and friendly manner, his every move and gesture often exudes a firm and persuasive air.

In addition, with the strong background of the Guyuan Zhao family behind him, many Kunlun masters were naturally willing to make friends with him, or help him do things within their ability in exchange for the friendship of this "big shot" - when this senior brother Zhao was in Kunlun Yangwang, Qiu Changtian had not yet joined Kunlun Mountain.

Therefore, to some extent, this Zhao Jinghong is a super enhanced version of Song He - after all, Song He neither has the connections he has built up over hundreds of years in Kunlun, nor does he have a powerful immortal cultivation family to support him.

When facing Song He, Qiu Changtian didn't even need to take action. He just needed to put the evidence against him in front of Master Ziwei, and Song He would be killed immediately.

But when facing Zhao Jinghong... first of all, he would definitely not be able to obtain any evidence against him.

With the status of Master Yun Hong, if he really wants to make things difficult for someone, he doesn't even have to do it himself, because someone will naturally do it for him.

Even if he failed to do it, what harm would he suffer? It was all his subordinates' presumptuous decision.

Because of this, Qiu Changtian couldn't fight back personally, so he could only instruct his junior sister Xu Yinglian to let the Xu family of Tiannan come and counter the attack.

Nascent Soul cultivators have long lifespans, and a head monk often stays in the position for a long time, providing huge benefits to the family behind him during his tenure.

The current Ziwei headmaster is from the Ge family, the previous Kunlun headmaster was from the Luo family, and the previous headmaster was from the Xu family... The Guyuan Zhao family is determined to win the position of the next headmaster, but the Tiannan Xu family has had no succession for two generations, and the blessings they brought before have been exhausted. How could they be willing to give up the position?

After all, who stipulated that the position of the head of Kunlun must be taken in turns by the four major families?

Therefore, the Tiannan Xu family quickly launched a sharp counterattack and notified the public privately:

All cultivators in the Xu family camp will give priority to implementing Master Chang Geng’s Guanzhong defense strategy.

The so-called "priority execution" actually means "no time to participate in Yun Hong's surprise attack plan", which is used to express the exclusionary attitude towards the Zhao family.

The Zhao family of Guyuan also reacted quickly, and issued an almost tit-for-tat internal notification that all cultivators in the Zhao family camp would give priority to obeying the dispatches and arrangements of Master Yun Hong (and no longer listen to Master Chang Geng).

The Guanzhong defense strategy requires a large number of manpower, while the surprise attack on Beimang only requires elite troops, which means that the higher the cultivation level and fighting strength, the better.

Because the Xu family expressed a non-cooperative attitude, a large number of vacancies appeared in the original list of the surprise attack team, and high-level monks were ultimately a minority.

The Zhao family allocated more high-level monks than originally planned, but it was still not enough to fill the original vacancies, so they had to lobby the Luo family for help and provide more manpower.

As for Qiu Changtian's defense strategy, since it did not require high numbers of cultivators, he only added a hundred or so cultivators to the Xu family of Tiannan, and easily made up for the absence of cultivators from the Zhao family, without even asking the Ge family for help.

The Zhao family of Guyuan suffered a setback and launched a second counterattack:

They found Immortal Chisong and accused the Xu family of this despicable internal strife.

Immortal Chisong was also troubled by what he heard. After all, the Xu family didn't say "we don't support Master Yunhong", they just said "we give priority to cooperating with Master Changgeng", what can he do?

This is a sect of cultivation, not a secular court! Moreover, Immortal Chisong is not the ancestor of the Demon Sect, so it is impossible for him to suppress the people below and say "No! You are not allowed to give priority to Chang Geng's plan." Isn't that clearly taking sides?

After all, this immortal had lived for a long time, so he certainly would not be stumped by such internal strife. He immediately asked the people from the Zhao family to go back, and then called for Master Ziwei, leaving the mess to him to solve.

The head of Ziwei Sect was from the Ge family, so he naturally had something to say about this:

"Yun Hong's surprise attack plan is too risky. If the Demon Cult knows about it in advance, there will be no advantage at all."

"Everyone in the hall that day was our own people, right?" asked Immortal Chisong leisurely.

"Yes." Master Ziwei replied, "All the Kunlun elders present are the backbone of the sect. The only real masters are Chang Geng and Yun Hong."

The backbone of the sect means that personal interests are highly tied to Kunlun and it is absolutely impossible for them to betray.

Chisong Immortal was relieved and waved his hand and said:

"In that case, Yun Hong wants to try out a strange plan, so let him try it?"

"It's actually a good idea this way. If we win, all the credit for this battle will go to the Zhao family. If we lose, the losses will be borne mainly by the Zhao family anyway, so the Xu family won't get angry over this and come to me to make a fuss."

"This..." Master Kunlun frowned.

If the immortal did not make it clear, even if the surprise attack was successful, some of the credit would go to Qiu Changtian. After all, the plan was kept secret from most of the Kunlun cultivators beforehand, and everyone only knew that Chang Geng was the master of the war, so the reputation of the final victory would naturally go to him.

But what Immortal Chisong said meant that the two had to be separated clearly: what belonged to the Zhao family belonged to the Zhao family, and what belonged to the Xu family belonged to the Xu family.

If the surprise attack on Beimang Mountain is successful, it will be a great achievement; as for Qiu Changtian’s Guanzhong defense plan, what kind of achievement can it bring?

Even if every mine was well guarded, everyone would think it was their duty. On the other hand, if they failed to do so, it would become a huge mistake.

If the distinction is really that clear, it will definitely be disadvantageous to Qiu Changtian.

With this in mind, Sect Leader Ziwei even had some dark thoughts for a moment: If the surprise attack on Beimang Mountain suffered a major failure, wouldn't it make Chang Geng appear mature and foresighted?

But he was the head of Kunlun after all, and he was open-minded, so he quickly put such thoughts behind him.

Apart from anything else, even if Yun Hong finally snatched Chang Geng's position as the head sect master, he would not choose to damage the interests of Kunlun Sect in order to stop it.

Since Chang Geng thinks Yun Hong’s strategy is too radical, let the facts speak for themselves.

If Chang Geng's prediction was wrong, I naturally have nothing to say.

Of course, if Chang Geng is proven to be right in the end, I will have to come and have a good talk with the immortal.

What's going on with the Xu and Zhao families? They've made the sect a mess just to fight for power and profit. That's really wrong!

Thinking of this, Master Ziwei didn't say much, but just said goodbye and left neatly.

Thus, only the Red Pine Immortal was left in front of the Tianmen Hall. He sat alone under a dead pine tree, facing the stone chessboard in front of him, holding the black chess piece in his left hand and the white chess piece in his right hand, and began to play chess with great pleasure.

"One is radical, the other is conservative. Hey, these two are interesting."

"But how can the position of Kunlun's headmaster be determined by the outcome of a battle? In my opinion, the one who is not discouraged by defeat is more suitable to lead the sect than the one who is arrogant after winning."

"Let's continue to observe carefully and see what the personalities of these two people are like, so that we can draw conclusions later."
