As the hour of Mao ended and the hour of Chen arrived, eleven of the fourteen sects in Mount Shu had arrived as scheduled, and Fang Jian also came out of the cave and came to the meeting table.
"Greetings to Master Hongqing." The eleven sect leaders stood up and bowed to Fang Jian.
Fang Jian returned the greeting with a bow, then said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, please take a seat."
When everyone saw that Fang Jian seemed to be in a good mood and there was no murderous look on his face, they felt relieved and sat down cross-legged.
At this moment, Fang Jian glanced at the number of people present, and then asked Hei Haier, "Is there anyone else who hasn't arrived yet?"
Black Boy reported, "The heads of the eleven sects, including the Emei, Guanzi, Kongxiang, and Nirvana sects, have all arrived. Only the heads of the Ruzhen, Xuanbo, and Liaoyan sects have not come."
Fang Jian nodded, then took a sip of the spiritual tea in front of him and said, "Then let's wait a little longer."
Then, this wait lasted for an hour, and the time had already passed from noon to noon.
Fang Jian then asked Hei Haier, "Haven't the three sect leaders arrived yet?"
Hei Haier said, "Master, he still hasn't come."
Fang Jian smiled slightly, then stood up and bowed to the eleven masters present, including Miao Yuan Zhenren, saying, "Fellow Daoists, please sit here and have some tea for a while. I will be back soon."
After saying that, Fang Jian left the table directly, and Hei Haier followed closely behind him. Only one Tianbing Du Yuhou was left at the conference table.
Zhenren Miao Yuan and the others looked up with serious expressions, only to see that half of the heavenly soldiers around them had suddenly disappeared. As for the missing half, they all followed Fang Jian and left Cangluan Peak.
All the sect leaders looked at each other in bewilderment. It was impossible for them to say that they didn't know what Fang Jian was going to do, but would Fang Jian really be so reckless?
They were all familiar with the three sects and had very good relations with them on a daily basis, because the leaders of the three sects were close friends and had always advanced and retreated together.
The reason they had the confidence to not come to Cangluan Peak to attend the meeting today was because of this: three sect leaders, three Taiyi Golden Immortals, and the factions' gates were very close to each other, and it was also on the main ground of Shushan.
“If I want to take down the leaders of these three sects,” Miao Yuan Zhenren thought to himself, “I’m afraid it will take more effort for Hong Qing Zhenren.”
The headmaster of Ruzhen Sect, Ren Qingzhi, the headmaster of Xuanbo Sect, Hua Mingru, and the headmaster of Liaoyan Sect, Su Zhenghe, were currently sitting in the headmaster hall of Ruzhen Sect.
Although the three of them appeared calm on the surface, the three mountain protection formations that had been fully activated outside, as well as all the disciples who were on high alert, showed that the three masters had already made a decision.
In fact, they had no choice, because like the Shuangyun Sect, their sect's teachings also came from the three holy masters of the Five Elements Palace within the Xuan Sect.
This background destined them to be unable to sit down and discuss things with Fang Jian. Xuanjiao was considered a rebel and a traitor in the Heavenly Court. Whether they went or not, Fang Jian would not let them go.
As pawns of the Xuanjiao in the Southern Continent, their mission has been completed, and now it is time to give it a try.
The three of them looked at each other. Back then, they were just like Zhang Biyun and Zhu Ziyun from Shuangyunmen, so high-spirited and ambitious.
They thought they had inherited the legacy of the ancient immortals and gods, and would definitely carve out a place for themselves in the three realms.
The beginning of the story was good, but the ending was not good, because the ancient immortals who passed on the Dharma to them did not die as they expected, but survived to this day, waiting for an opportunity to act. They were just chess pieces laid in secret by these ancient immortals.
Since they, along with the Buddhist sect, destroyed the Taoist sect's layout in the Tang Dynasty, their value has been maximized and they can be discarded. Shuangyunmen's yesterday is their today.
Now, Hua Mingru, the head of Xuanbo Sect, and Su Zhenghe, the head of Liaoyan Sect, have gathered all their disciples to Ruzhen Sect, and even moved the mountain protection formation here.
Faced with Fang Jian's power, they could only gather all their strength together to be qualified to fight to the death.
"Perhaps, we can survive, reverse the situation, kill Fang Jian here, and accomplish the feat that none of the heretic demons, Buddhists, or demon cultivators have been able to accomplish!" Ren Qingzhi, the head of the Ruzhen sect, raised his head, cheered himself up, and said to Hua Mingru, Su Zhenghe, and the three Golden Immortal heads of the sects in the hall to encourage each other.
"That's right." Hua Mingru also said proudly, "We three Taiyi Golden Immortals, can't we deal with a mere Golden Immortal?"
Su Zhenghe laughed heartily and said, "If we don't give it a try, how can we know whether destiny is with us or not?"
Who is in charge of destiny?
