Zhongzhou, Lingyue Sect
Lingyue Sect is also a major sect in Zhongzhou, but its strength is not as good as Shenmu Sect. In addition to the sacred tree, Shenmu Sect also has two Hedao ancestors and seven or eight Fanxu cultivators, while Lingyue Sect has only one Hedao cultivator, and its overall strength is one level weaker than Shenmu Sect.
Moreover, Lingyue Sect is one of the few sects dominated by women. At first, Lingyue Sect was a sect of pure female cultivators, but female cultivators were generally inferior to men and women in cultivation will and fighting will (except for a few individuals), so after Lingyue Sect grew and became stronger, it also took the initiative to absorb male cultivators into the sect.
But even now, female cultivators in Lingyue Sect account for about 60% to 70%, which has led to the fact that the combat power of Lingyue Sect is worse than that of the same level. Of
course, having more female disciples is not without any advantages, that is, there are many relatives, and Lingyue Sect has a tradition of marriage. Over the years, almost all the high-level leaders of the major sects in Zhongzhou have been married to disciples of Lingyue Sect, making Lingyue Sect a relatively special existence in Zhongzhou.
"Huang Daoyou, please don't be anxious. We in Lingyue Sect will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
A Fanxu from Lingyue Sect came forward to appease Fanxu from Shenmu Sect. The Hedao of each sect was almost not in charge. Most of the sect's affairs were handled by Fanxu and Huashen. At this time, Fanxu's appearance was enough to show the anger of Shenmu Sect.
"You have said this dozens of times. I don't want perfunctory answers. I want an accurate reply."
"Huang Daoyou, our Lingyue Sect is also a victim. We were also tricked by Xiao Lingyue."
"That's your business. I only know that the whole Zhongzhou is laughing at us now. I need to be responsible for Shenmu Sect."
Huang Daoyou said coldly. The probability of the Yuanying chief of Shenmu Sect entering the Huashen period is very high. Throughout the dynasties, few have failed, which means that Duanmu Ling will definitely be a high-level leader of the sect in the future.
Now that the sect's top leaders have been humiliated like this, the entire Shenmu Sect is brought into disgrace. If there is no explanation, how will the Shenmu Sect face its disciples in the future? If Duanmu Ling's path is ruined because of this, and the Shenmu Sect has lost a master of the Divine Transformation Realm, they will lose all their face and dignity. How can he not be angry?
"Fellow Daoist Huang, I promise you that within three months, we will find Xiao Lingyue and send her to Shenmu Sect. How about that?"
"No matter, I have received an order from the sect. The marriage between Shenmu Sect and Lingyue Sect is terminated. I want to take back the betrothal gift given by Shenmu Sect today. Please prepare it from Lingyue Sect."
"What, Fellow Daoist Huang, it shouldn't be that necessary."
"Fellow Daoist Huang, our two sects have been friendly for more than a day or two. Why is it so?"
"Fellow Daoist Huang, think twice. Don't ruin the friendship between our two sects for such a small matter."
As soon as Shenmu Sect's words came out, Lingyue Sect became anxious. Several people tried to persuade them. This time, the betrothal gift given by Shenmu Sect was very heavy. The outside world only knew that they gave the five-layer divine fruit of the sacred tree, but they knew that it was far more than that.
The most important thing is that they have almost spent all the money they received from the betrothal gifts, and they have no way to pay it back. For example, the fifth-layer divine fruit was given to Xiao Lingyue, but Xiao Lingyue ran away. Now they have to ask Lingyue Sect to cover the cost. How can they give it out? Even if they have to take treasures of the same level, they are reluctant to do so.
"Huang is also following orders. I will give you three months to return the resources to Shenmu Sect. Shenmu Sect will pretend that this has never happened and suffer a little loss. If you don't give it, Shenmu Sect will come to take it personally."
Huang Daoyou no longer talks about feelings. He has been here for several days, not the first day. Lingyue Sect has not given him a positive answer, which has exhausted his patience.
In this marriage, Shenmu Sect was originally at a disadvantage, but Duanmu Ling himself liked Xiao Lingyue, so Shenmu Sect was willing to marry. Now that Shenmu Sect is being played like this, Shenmu Sect no longer wants to tolerate it.
"Huang Daoyou..."
"Let's go."
Huang Daoyou and his group said nothing more, stood up and left, Duanmu Ling and others followed closely, ignoring the persuasion of Lingyue Zong and others, and insisted on leaving.
"Grandmaster, is there really no room for redemption in this matter?"
Duanmu Ling said cautiously on the way.
“Don’t you think it’s embarrassing enough? The Lingyue Sect has played tricks on my Shenmu Sect like this. Do you want the sect to be embarrassed with you?”
“Grandmaster, Xiao Lingyue is not that kind of person. There may be a misunderstanding here.”
“Misunderstanding, Duanmu Ling, are you crazy? The sect has worked hard to train you, do you want to embarrass you? She’s just a woman. There are no women in the Shenmu Sect?”
“Grandmaster, that’s not what I meant…”
“Shut up. The sect has suffered heavy losses because of you. Not only do you not want to recover the losses for the sect, you are even thinking about speaking for the Lingyue Sect. I tell you, if this matter fails, our lineage will be the vanguard of attacking the Lingyue Sect, and no one can escape.”
“Yes, Grandmaster”
Duanmu Ling fell silent. He was also sad at this moment. At first, he didn’t like Xiao Lingyue. It was a marriage arranged by the sect. After he came into contact with Xiao Lingyue, he found that she was different from other female cultivators and slowly fell in love with her.
Originally thought their marriage would be a good story, he would have a virtuous wife, but now it has become a joke, he Duanmu Ling has become a laughing stock, and from beginning to end, Shenmu Sect has never asked for his opinion.
······
The Shenmu Sect and Lingyue Sect broke down in the talks, although neither sect made it public, but the news had spread all over Shenmu City, because Shenmu Sect had begun to mobilize for war, Shenmu Sect disciples appeared in Shenmu City, began to increase the purchase of combat resources, Shenmu Sect's vassals, have received orders, began to recall disciples from all over the country, ready to be deployed.
The reaction of Lingyue Sect was even more bizarre. Faced with the unusual movements of Shenmu Sect, Lingyue Sect should have taken steps to resolve the matter, at the very least, it should have stepped up preparations for war, but the movement of Lingyue Sect was a civil strife.
“Here I come, here's the latest news. The reason for the civil strife in Lingyue Sect has been found out.”
“Tell me quickly, tell me quickly.”
“Hey, I'm thirsty after running all the way.”
“Come on, waiter, bring me a pot of good tea.”
“I'm a little hungry too.”
“Bring some good food.”
“And…”
“Beat him to death.”
“Don't hit him, don't hit him, I'm telling you.”
“Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly.”
“The reason for the civil strife in Lingyue Sect has been found out. Shenmu Sect gave a generous gift to marry Xiao Lingyue. In addition to the five-layer divine fruit of the divine tree, there were a lot of other things. These things have been divided up. It's easier to eat than to spit them out
. But the focus is still the five-layer divine fruit. The five-layer divine fruit is a treasure that can break through to the divine transformation. The divine fruit was given to Xiao Lingyue and was taken away by Xiao Lingyue. So Lingyue Sect wanted to use their Yuehua divine grass instead and return it to Shenmu Sect, but Lingyue Sect did not reach an agreement. Some people disagreed and wanted to find Xiao Lingyue back, or use other female disciples as a replacement. Lingyue Sect failed to reach an agreement, so they started fighting first.”
"Fuck, is Lingyue Sect so weak?"
"A group of women
really can't accomplish anything" "When women are in charge, the house will fall down. The ancients were not wrong."
After hearing the inside story, a group of people immediately talked about it. They said all kinds of things, but they were more happy that the two sides were going to fight. They had been looking forward to it for several months and were waiting to make a fortune in the war.
Lin Jiang was also among this group of people, because they all had the same identity, they were the owners of small and medium-sized businesses in Shenmu City. This group of profiteers, sharpening their knives, were just waiting for this time when the two sects started fighting.
"Oh my God, I just wanted to do some business honestly, why did I get this opportunity to speculate? Do I have to change my name to Lin Touji in the future?"
Lin Jiang sighed in his heart, speculation is not a legitimate business.
But in the blink of an eye, Lin Jiang was involved in a heated discussion. To sum it up, there are two words, it smells so good.
Another half month passed, and seeing that Lingyue Sect had been slow to respond, Shenmu Sect formally ordered to gather troops. A large number of cultivators from vassal forces rushed to the gate of Shenmu Sect from all over the place, and the people of Shenmu Sect also began to openly purchase combat supplies. The horn of war was sounded, and the carnival of profiteers began.
