Zigong? Where's Your Brain?
Abbess Dingyi sighed deeply.
"What righteous path of the martial world? These days, it doesn't seem so righteous after all; it's just a power struggle. Isn't it common for the Demonic Cult to also fight for power? Power... power..."
Facing Master Dingyi's emotion, several sects were speechless.
Needless to say, the Mount Tai Sect's senior disciples were dreaming of tricking the Daoist Master Tianmen Daoist's leader, Tie Jian, away.
Because of a slight disagreement between Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng, the Mount Heng Sect did not actually have any power struggle. However, in the mouths of those in the martial arts world, the two of them had already fought each other to the death, and no amount of mudslinging could clear their names.
Yue Buqun of the Mount Hua Sect has managed to sustain the Mount Hua Sect for the past twenty years by relying on political maneuvering and dealing with Zuo Lengchan.
Yue Buqun glanced at his little apprentice beside him.
If it weren't for this little apprentice, Laodeno himself would have stayed. In the future, if he wanted to compete with Zuo Lengchan, he would probably still have to rely on these political maneuvers.
Of all those present, only Abbess Dingyi had the right to mock her.
Among the Five Great Mountains Sword Sects, the Hengshan Sect is truly a pure land.
Her two senior female classmates truly had the demeanor of Zhou Taibo.
Although Abbess Dingyi did not know who Zhou Taibo was.
Although everyone was somewhat disturbed, they still did not resolve their confusion about the origins of the Sun Moon Demonic Sect.
Although they didn't know why this battle was about to begin, and it was something they could fight, none of the righteous sect leaders present wanted to start it.
Although they could rely on the influence of the martial arts figures attending the banquet, the Demonic Cult Sect was in the shadows and had come prepared.
Apart from the Mount Hua Sect, none of the other sects had concentrated all their forces.
Although Daoist Master Tianmen was straightforward, he knew that if he lost too much power at this moment, his uncles would become even more arrogant and cause trouble.
When Mr. Mo Da learned that Zuo Lengchan intended to target their Mount Heng Sect, he naturally wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible to deal with the threat from the Songshan Sect.
Although Abbess Dingyi was brave and daring, many of the nuns she accompanied had never been to the martial world.
I was afraid I couldn't protect them all by myself, and I felt somewhat constrained later on.
Since we don't want to fight, we need to figure out why these people came.
This will allow us to address the root cause and try to eliminate the disaster before it even happens.
Seeing the hesitant and furrowed brows of the crowd, Ji Boying knew they were considering avoiding the fight.
Especially when Qu Yang appeared just now and urged Liu Zhengfeng to run away quickly, this is not what Ji Boying wanted to see.
Although the behavior of the Demonic Cult Sect has changed somewhat, Demonic Cult general form is still similar to what I know. So what about the Songshan Sect?
According to what Mr. Mo Da discovered, the Songshan Sect still intends to use the pretext of Washing Hands in a Golden Basin to make a scene.
The entire Mount Hua Sect is now located on Mount Heng.
Especially since I also have myself.
Wouldn't the Songshan Sect be tempted?
After their last encounter in Fuzhou, Zuo Lengchan should now consider himself the biggest threat.
They also witnessed their own Lightness Skill.
Zuo Lengchan faced this dilemma.
You must kill yourself as soon as possible, without giving yourself any more room to grow.
If they delay any longer, their plans for Mount Song will truly come to nothing.
How to kill oneself? First, one needs sufficient force, and second, one must ensure that one cannot escape.
Now, the entire Mount Hua Sect is located in Mount Heng.
If I were to go all out at this moment and accumulate enough power to prevent the people of Mount Hua from escaping, would I abandon my fellow disciples from the Mount Hua Sect and try to escape alone?
Zuo Lengchan must have thought of this problem as well.
The Mount Hua Sect has now become Ji Boying and his twenty-odd weaknesses.
Zuo Lengchan was unsure whether he would abandon Mount Hua, where death was certain, but this was definitely an opportunity that Zuo Lengchan could only dream of.
Zuo Lengchan couldn't have found a better opportunity.
Therefore, he will not give up his actions, and his plan is indeed underway.
Just when everyone was at a loss, Ji Boying had a flash of inspiration and a guess came to mind.
"Master."
Ji Boying took a step towards the center and spoke softly, interrupting the contemplative crowd in the flower hall.
Everyone looked up in confusion.
Yue Buqun had no idea whether Ji Boying had come up with any ideas.
Even Qu Feiyan, who was well aware of the Demonic Cult Sect's shady dealings, didn't really understand what the Demonic Cult Sect was trying to do. Although she was clever and quirky, she was still lacking in wisdom and strategy, as she hadn't fully matured yet.
"Boying, have you come up with something?"
Ji Boying nodded.
"When I heard the nun sigh about the word 'power' just now, I couldn't help but think of Zigong's mission."
Everyone was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Although Qu Feiyan was intelligent, she had not read many classical texts and did not understand their meaning.
Yue Buqun was slightly startled, but his eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if he had thought of something.
Abbess Dingyi was naturally completely baffled.
Daoist Master Tianmen and the others could only sigh helplessly.
I just feel that Yue Buqun, the Gentleman Sword, has really taught his disciple to be a bit dull.
Although these people were all Daoist priests and didn't read much classical Chinese literature, they were, after all, a group of people from Shandong.
I had heard of Zigong before.
But at this point, why would you still mention Zigong, Ziyou, and Ziyu?
He really does resemble a pedantic scholar.
"Oh my, my dear nephew, you are truly exceptionally intelligent!"
Liu Zhengfeng also understood, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands in praise.
Compared to a martial arts practitioner, he actually looked more like a wealthy businessman, and the Mount Heng Sect's businesses were quite prosperous under his management.
Zigong was naturally the sage they admired.
"What are you saying? What are you saying? Don't speak in riddles."
Abbess Dingyi and Tiansong both started shouting.
In particular, when Abbess Dingyi heard Ji Boying say that he was inspired by her, she couldn't understand at all what Ji Boying had figured out.
But Liu Zhengfeng had just figured it out and didn't have time to respond to them. He just looked at Yue Buqun and Ji Boying with excitement.
His eyes lit up, and his voice became louder.
"Ha, so Yang Lianting must be Tian Chengzi."
Yue Buqun shook his folding fan with a hint of disdain.
"Although the situation is similar, how can the villains of the Demonic Cult Sect be compared to Tian Chang?"
Liu Zhengfeng didn't care about Yue Buqun's rebuttal.
Then, excitedly, they looked at Ji Boying and exchanged glances.
"Nephew, now that Tian Chengzi is here, where is Zigong?"
Although Liu Zhengfeng asked the question, he did not wait for Ji Boying to answer. The two looked at each other and smiled, and then burst into laughter in the flower hall.
Yue Buqun chuckled slightly, shaking his paper fan and his head.
"Although the methods are similar, how can Alliance Leader Zuo compare to Duanmu Ci?"
The three old Abbess Dingyi priests, Tianmen, Tiansong, and Tianbai, along with Abbess Dingyi, watched the three of them exchanging some kind of secret signal, completely bewildered.
They seemed to have grasped some of the meaning, yet also seemed to understand nothing at all.
Brains... brains... you all happen to have brains.
Where's my brain? Use it!
