Strange mountains and rivers

It was already dark when Chen Huaisheng sent Kou Qing home.

I got a lot of information from Kou Qing about the Nine Lotus Sect.

Now the Demon Lotus Sect and the Jingfu Sect are at loggerheads, with both sides arguing over who will take over as the sect leader.

According to the rules of the Nine Lotus Sect, the sect leader of the Nine Lotus Sect rotates among the nine sects, but there is a prerequisite, that is, if any sect wants to take over as the sect leader of the Nine Lotus Sect, then his sect should have three or more Zifu True Lords. This will do.

This basically eliminates some small cases.

Sects such as Jin Yu, Yu Han, Zi He, Xi Yun, and Huolai have never had the experience of having three True Lords of Zi Mansion at the same time.

Even the Ghost Peng Sect, in the thousand-year history of the Jiulian Sect, has only occasionally had three Zifu True Lords at the same time, and most of the time there were only one or two Zifu.

The three sects, Yaolian, Jingfu, and Yuanhe, maintain the strength of three Zifu True Lords most of the time. Of course, there will be times when there are only two Zifu True Lords.

The reason for this dispute between the Demon Lotus Sect and the Jingfu Sect is that during the ten years since the Jingfu Sect served as the sect leader, one of the Zifu Sect became an immortal, while the other one who was at the peak of foundation building has not yet been able to ascend to the Zifu Sect. , so according to convention, the position of the leader of this sect should be transferred to the Demon Lotus Sect.

But who would have thought that during the handover procedures, the top foundation-building member of the Jingfu Sect would be promoted to the Zi Mansion again, which immediately caused a dispute.

No one has ever encountered such a situation, but it would be fine if it was just like this. However, this Jingfu Sect monk who had just entered Dengzi Mansion was attacked again and was seriously injured. As a result, he fell into Zi Mansion and became The ninth level of foundation building.

This also means that the position of the leader of Jingfu Sect is lost and regained, and the key is that the monk who was injured and fell into the Zifu thought that a Zifu monk from the Demon Lotus Sect teamed up with another alien cultivator to attack him. , which resulted in his fall into the Zi Mansion, the purpose of which was to take over the position of the leader of the Nine Lotus Sect.

The Demon Lotus Sect categorically denied it, and even questioned that it was a lie that the Zifu monk who was said to have been attacked fell to the ninth level of foundation building. He never entered the Zifu at all, and deliberately created such a ridiculous lie to frame the Demon Lotus Sect. In order to achieve the purpose of occupying the position of suzerain.

As a result, the two sides were in a stalemate, and even gradually evolved to the point of fighting each other. The Yuanhe Sect proposed that since the two sides could not resolve the dispute, the position of the sect leader should be temporarily taken over by the Yuanhe Sect.

This in turn attracted joint criticism from the Yaolian and Jingfu sects. Both sides even suspected that the Yuanhe sect was causing trouble, causing conflicts between the two parties, and thus the Yuanhe sect benefited.

This suddenly caused conflicts among the three sects, which were inextricable.

To reach this point, especially when a Zifu was attacked and fell to the foundation, this really became a life-and-death feud.

The Jingfu Sect once suspected that the Demon Lotus Sect was responsible for the attack, but later suspected that the Yuanhe Sect was responsible for blaming others. However, they did not find enough evidence, but there is no doubt that this was definitely done by one of the two families.

"So now the various sects within the Jiulian Sect are quarreling with each other, and each has a helper, making it even more difficult to step down." After Xu Tianfeng came to the capital, he also inquired about some situations, "If this continues, the Jiulian Sect will probably It will really become history.”

"Brother, what do Master and the others mean?" Chen Huaisheng was more concerned about this issue. What would the Chonghua Sect do next? In comparison, the Taoist Competition was secondary.

"Now the Jiulian Sect may be aware of the danger and intends to ease it, but the gap is already deep. It is difficult to suddenly untie the knot. Moreover, there are many people from outside who are adding fuel to the fire to promote the Nine Lotus Sect. The disintegration." Xu Tianfeng's voice became a little lower when he said it at the end.

Chen Huaisheng felt a chill in his heart and asked subconsciously: "Including our Chonghua Sect? Is this the same attitude and thinking?"

Xu Tianfeng's smile was a little weird, "Junior brother, you should understand the world, the weak and the strong, life and death. The Jiulian Sect's performance over the years has been disappointing. Even our most loyal allies have been abandoned by them. Now They are in civil strife. For many people, isn’t this a godsend?”

"Senior brother, I know that other families must have bad intentions. I mean, where is our Chonghua sect?" Chen Huaisheng didn't want to play riddles with anyone, so he asked directly.

Xu Tianfeng was silent and Chen Huaisheng understood immediately.

No wonder Shang Jiuling, Ding Zongshou, and Zhu Fengbi came out together. This was a promising move.

For a moment, Chen Huaisheng was a little worried. The Jiulian Sect had actually come to this point. Even the Chonghua Sect wanted to take a share of the pie?

But then I thought about it, if the Chonghua sect didn't come to take a share of the pie, wouldn't it be a waste of advantage to other sects and aristocratic families?

Besides, if the Chonghua Sect sides with the Nine Lotus Sect, will it change the situation of the Nine Lotus Sect’s collapse and destruction? Can't change.

And even if the Chonghua Sect wants to side with the Jiulian Sect, which branch of the Jiulian Sect will they side with? Demon Lotus, Pure Buddha, or Yuan He?

You can't stand on the side of the Ghost Peng Sect, which has never participated in the fight between all parties, right?

Chen Huaisheng was startled. Forget it, if the Jiulian Sect was really destroyed, could the Guipeng Sect escape this disaster?

Chen Huaisheng thought about it and found it difficult.

These sects will not let go of any branch of Jiulian Sect. If these branches of Jiulian Sect are smart, they will either unite immediately. If they cannot do so, they will quickly find a relatively less powerful sect to unite with. In this way, they may be able to barely maintain a certain degree of independence, and perhaps see if they can break free again after a period of time.

But this is difficult.

It is not just difficult in general, and its danger is greater than imagined.

Just like the current Lingyun Sect merged into the Chonghua Sect, don’t Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi know that these disciples of Lingyun Sect still have some thoughts?

But Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi still accepted Lingyun Sect without hesitation.

Opportunities are rare, as long as Lingyun Sect can be merged, Lingyun Sect will lose the initiative, and they still want to be independent again. It’s not that there is no hope, but the difficulty is much greater.

As more and more new disciples and outstanding talents are recruited from Hebei, Yiyang, and Langling, they are all recruited in the name of Chonghua Sect. They will only have a sense of belonging to Chonghua Sect, and it is impossible for them to support the disappeared Lingyun Sect. Even the young disciples of Lingyun Sect will slowly erode these memories and nostalgia over time, and then become part of Chonghua Sect.

The same is true for the branches of Jiulian Sect. Once they are incorporated into a sect, it will be difficult to restore them.

For many disciples, as long as their practice is not hindered, they don’t care much about Jiulian Sect or any other sect.

This is very critical.
