" Confucian School? Central Plains sect that shares the same origin as Little Sage Manor?"
Wang Hao pretended not to know, and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Yes, Ximen Chuixue once said that your overseas martial arts community's Little Sage Manor has some connection with Confucian School!"
A powerful Taoist School master quickly nodded in agreement, confirming that they had indeed sent people to eavesdrop before, which was why they knew this information.
"No! Little Sage Manor is usually very low-key and never forms karmic Cause and Effect with any forces, let alone has any negative Karma!"
With a furrowed brow, Wang Hao feigned ignorance.
"Young friend, you've misunderstood. The Confucian School school of the Central Plains has always Tyrannical Dao, Xiongba the entire Central Plains for nearly two thousand years, and has done some very excessive things. The current Internal Force and True Qi System in the Central Plains was created under their guidance."
Zhang Sanfeng spoke up, and at the same time, he felt relieved, basically confirming that the Confucian School was the culprit.
" Chongxu, go and invite the Confucian School from the side hall!"
Zhang Sanfeng calmly gave instructions to Chongxu, who had been standing silently behind him.
"Yes, Grandmaster!"
Chongxu respectfully replied that although he was the current leader of the Wudang Sect, he was just a nobody in front of Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the sect, and could only run errands.
"No need to invite us, we have already arrived!"
Before Chongxu could turn around, a group of people walked out of the side hall. Who else could it be but the eight patriarchs of Confucian School?
The eight men's faces were extremely gloomy at this moment. With their cultivation levels, they could hear the sounds outside very clearly, which made them very embarrassed.
Following closely behind was a large group of people, the other martial arts practitioners in the side hall, all of whom had at least the Early-stage Innate Realm, numbering nearly a thousand.
Clearly, during this period, quite a few powerful individuals in the martial arts world who were stuck at the Half-step Innate Realm have broken through using the secret techniques spread by Wang Hao.
"Hiss! Stop! Stay there and don't come any closer!"
"Are you all foolish? Those skeletons in a tomb are something that martial arts practitioners from overseas would avoid like the plague. How dare you invite them in? Do you want to die even faster?"
Before the eight Confucian School patriarchs even approached, Wang Hao seemed to see something terrifying and couldn't help but gasp. He quickly told the eight Confucian School patriarchs to stop, then turned to Zhang Sanfeng and the others, pretending to be furious, and scolded them without any regard for their status.
Since the goal is to deceive people, the first step is to deceive yourself thoroughly. Only in this way can you deceive others as well. Therefore, he is quite professional in acting.
These words made the faces of the eight Confucian School patriarchs who were walking towards them darken even further, and they felt quite uneasy.
The numerous martial arts practitioners following behind also sensed something was amiss and quickly retreated dozens of steps, distancing themselves from the Confucian School and others.
Having tidied his appearance, True Person Nanhua asked in bewilderment, "Isn't it that serious? As far as I know, the Sword God Ximen Chuixue didn't have many scruples; he even made deals with the Confucian School."
" The Divine Lord has no intention of establishing power in the ancestral lands of the Central Plains, nor has he established any branches here, so there's no need to worry. But your Central Plains Taoist School sects are large and powerful; can you compare to him?"
Wang Hao put on a disappointed look and scolded him.
"Young friend Chunyang, it seems you have some misunderstanding about Confucian School..."
The eight Confucian School patriarchs, their faces dark with anger, were about to explain, but Wang Hao rudely interrupted them before they could finish.
"Stay there and don't come any closer!"
As the eight Confucian School patriarchs continued to advance, Wang Hao, like a startled rabbit, instantly retreated ten zhang away, distancing himself from the Confucian School. He then turned back to Zhang Sanfeng and the others and reprimanded them.
"Are you out of your minds? Their Karma is already beginning to transform into flames, just a step away from becoming Karmic Fire. Once the Karmic Fire is ignited, all forces related to them will suffer. If the Karmic Fire spreads and ignites the Karma on your Central Plains Taoist School sect as well, your foundation will be completely destroyed!"
In order to completely deceive the eight patriarchs of Confucian School, Wang Hao went all out this time, directly provoking their bottom line.
However, today Mount Wudang Mountain has gathered many martial arts masters, including many peerless experts at the Peak Innate, as well as the Taoist School eccentric Zhang Sanfeng.
With these powerful figures leading the way, even if the eight patriarchs of Confucian School went berserk, they could still withstand it.
And I doubt those eight old guys are that stupid!
Upon hearing this, the faces of the eight Confucian School patriarchs turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and the martial arts experts behind them retreated dozens of steps again, their gazes towards the Confucian School filled with fear and apprehension, as if they were looking at a jinx.
"Gentlemen, please forgive Buzhou in our hospitality. I have arranged for superior rooms to be prepared at an inn at the foot of the mountain. Please make your way there!"
Zhang Sanfeng also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately asked the eight Confucian School patriarchs to come down the mountain.
Previously, I was unaware of the intricacies involved, and given the considerable influence of the eight Confucian School patriarchs, I had to give them some face, which is why I agreed to let them come up the mountain.
Now that we know the taboos involved, we can no longer allow it to remain.
The eight Confucian School patriarchs, their faces dark with anger, said nothing more, gave Wang Hao a deep look, and then strode down the mountain.
Regardless of whether what the other party said was true or false, they could not stay here any longer today; otherwise, they would be forcing the Central Plains Taoist School into war, and a life-or-death battle at that.
Therefore, we can only descend the mountain for now and then discuss the matter further.
Wang Hao ignored the departing Confucian School patriarch and his companions, instead raising his eyes to survey the entire Wudang Sect, his expression growing increasingly solemn.
Zhang Sanfeng and the others noticed Wang Hao's serious expression, so they didn't disturb him and just stood there quietly, waiting for Wang Hao to speak again.
Finally, Wang Hao turned his gaze back to the area above Zhang Sanfeng and the others, staring at it for a long time before speaking, "Do you have some deep connection with the Confucian School of the Central Plains?"
The group exchanged glances, then finally turned their attention to Chongxu behind them.
Although they hold extremely high seniority within the Taoist School, they have long since withdrawn from worldly affairs. The management of the Taoist School now falls to the younger generation, and the Wudang Sect, as the current flagship of the Taoist School, is a prime example of this.
Therefore, Chongxu should be perfectly clear about this matter.
"Reporting to Senior, our Wudang Sect does indeed have some cooperative dealings with the Confucian School, as do other Taoist School forces!"
Chongxu braced himself and respectfully replied.
Although he was much older than Chunyangzi in front of him, his ancestor addressed him as "young friend," so how could he dare to act superior because of his age?
Therefore, I had no choice but to lower myself and address the other person as "senior"!
Of course, the most important thing is that the Chunyangzi in front of him is a genuine Xiantian Grandmaster, while he has only just broken through to the Half-step Innate. He is no match for him and can only call himself a junior.
"No wonder the Confucian School Fortune and your Fortune just now seemed to blend together, making it impossible for this humble Daoist to distinguish them."
Wang Hao feigned sudden realization, though he had actually known this all along.
For over a thousand years, Confucian School has been the dominant force in the Central Plains, extending its influence to all aspects of society. Even a long-established force like Taoist School has had some interaction with it.
Of course, more importantly, although the two major forces of Confucian School and Taoist School have been in a state of hostility for thousands of years, they have also cooperated many times. In fact, during the Legend of the Legend of the Condor Heroes period, the Quanzhen Sect claimed to have integrated the three major doctrines of Buddhist Dao, Daoism and Quanzhen Sect to form its own unique system.
Therefore, the relationships between the major forces are very complex. In addition, the Taoist School is not a unified whole, but is divided into several branches. Although it is not as exaggerated as the Confucian School sect, it is still difficult to unify the will within it.
"But is there something wrong with it?"
Seeing that Wang Hao's expression was becoming increasingly grim, Zhang Sanfeng asked in a deep voice.
" The Karma of Confucian School is as vast as the sea. It is only because the Fortune the ancestral land of the Central Plains collapsed in ancient times and was in a state of dispersion that such Karma would have long since transformed into Karmic Fire!"
However, within two and a half years at most, the right person will be in the right place and at the right time to comprehend and guide the original source of Fortune of the Central Plains ancestral land. At that time, the Karma gathered by Confucian School will inevitably be completely ignited and form Karmic Fire.
You'd better sever all ties with Confucian School before the Central Plains homeland's Fortune coalesces, otherwise, even I cannot predict the consequences."
Wang Hao shook his head slightly, his expression extremely solemn.
"Are you referring to the Dai Summit Mount Tai and Zhu Yanzu of the Da Ming imperial family?"
Daoist Nanzhen asked in a deep voice, while also pondering how to sever all ties with the Confucian School, otherwise it would be bad if it implicated the Daoist Taoist School.
"You know?"
Wang Hao feigned surprise, seemingly astonished that Daoist Nanzhen would know such a top-secret matter.
"A month ago, on Mount Song, the Sword God Ximen Chuixue made a deal with the Confucian School, and this matter was the bargaining chip in the deal."
Nodding, Daoist Nanzhen briefly recounted the matter.
"That bastard really is a swindler by nature!"
Wang Hao cursed under his breath, feigning anger as if he were dissatisfied with the Sword God Ximen Chuixue for leaking such important information.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng and the others nodded in agreement. They knew the enormous price the Confucian School had paid for this intelligence; calling them cunning merchants wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"Does my friend think we have any opportunity to intervene in this matter?"
With his eyes slightly narrowed, Zhang Sanfeng asked the most crucial question.
Not only Confucian School were eyeing this opportunity, but the Taoist School were too. Moreover, Mount Tai, after all, a major stronghold for the Taoist School, so being close to the source gave them a significant advantage!
"I advise you to behave yourselves. There are quite a few old monsters watching this matter!"
Wang Hao glanced sideways at Zhang Sanfeng and the others, and gave them a Youyou warning.
He never considered Taoist School to be particularly lofty; after all, it was a force in itself, and although it hadn't formed a complete hierarchy of interests like Confucian School, it wasn't far off.
Humans are inherently selfish; they instinctively want to obtain any benefit they see, the only difference being the methods used.
Therefore, after revealing the pseudonym scheme of Mount Tai and Zhu Yanzu, he predicted that all the major forces in the world would follow suit and keep an eye on this matter, and the Taoist School would be no exception.
Fortunately, he had made preparations in this regard, and even planned to take this opportunity to trick the Taoist School into joining the plan, thus accelerating the implementation of the plan to Tenka Fubu.
"Young friend, you jest. We, the old Daoist priest and his companions, know our own limitations."
Zhang Sanfeng and the others felt slightly embarrassed, but at the same time, they were extremely wary.
A month ago, they would have been skeptical of his Celestial Person Realm and Shattering Realm, but the overwhelming divine might displayed when the Ten Ancient Emperor Divine Hall of Mount Song were completed erased all doubts in their hearts.
On that day, Zhang Sanfeng himself stood on a mountaintop gazing into the distance, but even with his cultivation level, he was still suppressed and forced to kneel on the ground, and even his thoughts showed signs of stagnation.
This is far beyond what the Innate Realm can explain; even the philosophers of the Legend of Qin could not compare.
That was a terrifying existence that had completely transcended the Innate Realm, which indirectly proved the authenticity of the Celestial Person Realm and the Shattering Realm. It was just that the inheritance and environment of their Central Plains had problems, which was why it was difficult for such a strong person to appear.
Or even if they did appear, they would be taken away immediately by powerful overseas figures hidden in the Central Plains, without even having a chance to leave any relevant information.
Regardless of the circumstances, the Celestial Person Realm and the Shattering Realm certainly exist, and the overseas martial arts world must be real, with no one able to say for sure how many old monsters in the Shattering Realm there are.
These old monsters seem to have their eyes on their Central Plains homeland in the Central Plains, plotting something terrible, and the method Fortune condensing fortune is obviously of paramount importance.
Competing for opportunities with such a terrifying being is indeed akin to courting death.
Thus, despite their reluctance, Zhang Sanfeng and the others ultimately had no choice but to give up.
There's no way around it; their strength is far inferior to that of those giants. They could probably be wiped out with a single slap, and they simply don't have the slightest chance of competing!
Just as the group was feeling down, Wang Hao's words gave them a glimmer of hope.
