Sword from Hengshan

Chapter 121 Five Mountains Alliance (8.157k)
The whistling wind is a great sight, the clouds of Songshan are dispersing, and the autumn wind of Mount Taishi is mournful.

On the eastern slope of the mountain, the springs were wailing. From the top of the mountain, I could see the vast sky. Suddenly, a sad sound was heard, which made me feel extremely sad.
"Uncle Master~!"

Before the Five Mountains Alliance, Sun Zhenda severed his own meridians and died. Which of the disciples around him did not change his expression?
"Amitabha," the teacher sighed and chanted the Buddha's name again.

"Brother Sun, ah!" The red-faced Taoist priest was filled with anger, "The evil cult thief deserves death!"

A flash of sadness flashed across Zuo Lengchan's face.

"Junior brother."

He stretched out his big palm and wiped it on Sun Zhenda's face, and the two black holes were sealed.

"Denda, Dixiu."

"Disciples are here!" Two tall Songshan disciples stepped forward quickly. They were Zuo Lengchan's eldest and second disciples.

"Bring your Uncle Sun."

He paused, and his eyes turned from Sun Zhenda to the jar in Nan Shanshi's hand. Nan Shanshi didn't dare to move.

Zuo Lengchan glanced at Zhao Rong, then turned his gaze to Mr. Mo Da.

"And Uncle Gao, who was also killed by the Demon Cult, was carried back to the front hall of the sect's ancestral temple. The four sect leaders are the most important guests, so the funeral arrangements for the two junior brothers will be postponed for a few days."

"Yes!"

Shi Dengda and Di Xiuchao waved their hands, and more than 20 disciples came up immediately, each of them walking with vigorous steps.

They were well-trained and carried the door panels on one hand and held the jar on the other.

Taking another look at the rearmost door panel, Liang started to move, showing that he was alive.

Surrounded by their two uncle-masters, the disciples of Songshan entered the mountain gate first.

Zhao Rong did not look at Alliance Leader Zuo, but took a close look at the disciples of Songshan.

There are so many people.

There were at least three or four hundred people in the gatehouse, young and old, young and old.

The Thirteen Guardians stood behind the leaders of Hengshan and Taishan, and nine others came.

Zhao Rong only knew Le Hou and Fei Bin.

In addition to these nine people, there were a few older but sharp-eyed elders a little further behind them, who were probably Zuo Lengchan's uncles.

These senior uncles are surrounded by middle-aged people in their forties or fifties.

They are not among the Thirteen Guardians, and are of the same generation as Sun Zhenda and Zuo Mengzhu.

From the old to the young, the swords worn by the Songshan School at their waists are of various types, some long, some short, some wide, some thin.

At that time, Zuo Lengchan gathered the remaining elders and created the 17 sword techniques of Songshan, eight internal and nine external, each with its own merits.

Now it has spread among the disciples.

If you look closely, you can see that more disciples use broadswords.

"This is only part of the Songshan forces. The disciples are not all here yet. There are still many underworld masters and traitors from various sects who obey orders."
"Only in this aspect, Zuo Lengchan's ability is truly admirable."

Zhao Rong thought about the Hengshan School's previous appearance, and felt somewhat disappointed when compared with the Songshan School.

Of course, compared to the younger generation, the Hengshan School only has fewer people, but we are not afraid of you, the Songshan disciples.

He was full of fighting spirit and wanted to see the seventeen sword techniques of the Songshan School.

Zhao Rong was also quite envious of Master Zuo's icy qi.

Songshan is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, and there are treasures everywhere.

There is also a Shaolin Temple next door to Shaoshi Mountain.

Dengfeng, ah Dengfeng, the heavy Dengfeng, a place that makes people envious and tempted.

"Master Yue has a way to maintain his youthful appearance. He looks even younger than he did three years ago," Zuo Lengchan seemed to have forgotten the death of his two junior brothers, with a smile on his face, "Miss Ning is even more charming and graceful. This is cause for celebration."

"Senior Brother Zuo, you're joking," the Huashan couple responded with a smile.

Zhao Rongwei glanced at Sect Leader Yue and saw that his smile faded.

Zuo Lengchan openly praised both sides, but secretly criticized Yue Buqun for practicing the evil technique of "Yin Yang Cai Bu" which was not the right way.

How could Yue Buqun not hear it, but the pure heroine Ning standing next to him didn't understand.

Taoist Tianmen and Master Dingxian also came forward to greet each other.

Zuo Lengchan took two steps towards Mr. Mo Da.

Just these two steps made Zhao Rong feel a strong sense of urgency and fear.

Although he knew that Zuo Lengchan would not attack suddenly, he was already in the most dangerous situation of his life.

No one present was a match for this leader Zuo, who was on the Shengguan Peak, just waiting for them to enter the mountain gate. With Zuo Lengchan's order, not to mention the Huashan and Hengshan sects, no one from the four sects present could leave the mountain.

"Mr. Mo Da is still as charming and elegant as ever," Zuo Lengchan's smile disappeared from his face at some point.

"No, no," Mr. Mo Da said with a long tail tone, looking like he didn't deserve it.

He held the huqin in one hand and spread out the other hand, "I am an old man, playing the huqin and singing for a living, how can I be so charming?"

"The leaders of all the factions are much stronger than me, why does Alliance Leader Zuo have to make fun of Mo Da?"

"Oh?"

Zuo Lengchan flicked his sleeves and said, "The Demon Cult has moved southward and is spreading all over Hengzhou Prefecture. Mr. Mo Da is unfathomable and has killed many masters of the Demon Cult. I am impressed by him."

"My two junior brothers went south to Hengshan and learned a lot about Mr. Mo Da's methods."

"Now that the Five Mountains Alliance has gathered to discuss the important matter of fighting against the Demon Cult, I would like to hear Mr. Mo Da's opinions."

Zuo Lengchan's words were full of wit and his eyes were so sharp.

"Damn it, Leader Zuo has lost all his dignity!"

Zhao Rong cursed in his heart.

Just now you said that the guests are the most important, but now instead of inviting them in through the mountain gate and offering them good water and tea, you are blocking the mountain road and questioning them repeatedly.

He really says one thing and means another.

Master, you have to hold on.

All eyes were fixed on Mr. Mo Da. Zhao Rong felt angry and worried about him.

It shouldn't have come to this.
This disaster happened because the old man protected him from the wind and rain.

How could Zhao Rong feel good when he saw his old master with white hair and beard being intimidated by Zuo Lengchan?

Only by facing this treacherous martial arts hero head-on can you feel the pressure he brings.

but,

Mr. Mo Da was an expert at playing dumb in his early years. At this moment, he completely ignored the gazes of those around him and did not respond to any conversation.

He only showed a helpless look, complaining and showing weakness:

"My Hengshan Sect has been battling the Demon Sect in Hengzhou and has long been in tatters. If Senior Brother Fei, Senior Brother Le, Senior Brother Gao and other masters from Songshan had not come to rescue us, how could my sect have defeated the Demon Sect?"

"Leader Zuo really thinks highly of Mo Da,"

Mr. Mo Da glanced at Zuo Lengchan, then at Taoist Tianmen and Master Dingxian, and he raised his voice a little.

"The Demon Cult is too powerful. Hengshan Sect is in danger now. I, Mo Da, came to Songshan this time to ask for help."

Yue Buqun had communicated with Mo Da before and showed no unusual expression.

But when Taoist Tianmen heard this, his expression changed immediately.

Even the calm and compassionate Master Dingxian raised her head slightly.

Zuo Lengchan suddenly smiled and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Mo Da, you are too kind. How can I ignore the Hengshan Sect when it is in trouble?"

"The Demon Cult even harmed my Junior Brothers Gao and Sun. How can I not take revenge?"

Hearing that Mo Da was about to bow his head, Zuo Lengchan's expression changed immediately and he immediately started to win him over.

He knows the situation in Hengzhou Prefecture better than anyone else.

What Mo Da said is true.

Zuo Lengchan glanced at Yue Buqun again, then turned his gaze to Zhao Rong.

Casual mention:

"Mr. Mo Da, is this your new successor?"

"Exactly."

Zhao Rong didn't need his master's reminder. He quickly took two steps forward and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Master Zuo."

Only then did he look at Zuo Lengchan curiously.

When Zuo Lengchan's gaze came over to him, he quickly dodged in fear and awe.

There was a flash of sharpness in Zuo Lengchan's eyes.

Based on the many pieces of information he had received, it was difficult for him, as the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, to be on guard against a junior.

This is the same as looking at Linghu Chong standing aside.

Even though Linghu Chong defeated Shi Dengda in a sword fight at the last Five Mountains Alliance Meeting, he didn't take it to heart.

No matter how talented these young people are, it will take them ten or twenty years to achieve success.

How could the Five Mountains Sword Sect have so much time?

In the future, if we can win them over a little, and let these youngsters bring their talents into the Five Mountains Sect, we might be able to make use of them.

At this time, he wanted to win over Mo Da, so he half-jokingly said:
"Well, Mr. Mo Da has a good apprentice."

"I heard that he was able to defeat eight masters of the Demon Cult in Hengzhou Prefecture. His talent must be first-rate."

Mr. Mo Da sneered, shook his head and said nothing.
Lady Ning on the side said with a smile:
“Brother Zuo, please don’t scare my nephew. If the Demon Cult hears that the Five Mountains Alliance Leader also said this and really sends eight masters, my nephew will not be able to survive.”

"How can you take rumors seriously?"

"That makes sense," Zuo Lengchan laughed, "How can we take rumors seriously? All these false reputations are really exaggerated."

Before saying this, he looked at Yue Buqun.

Although Master Yue felt evil in his heart, he had a smile on his face just like Zuo Lengchan.

Zhao Rong looked at Lady Ning with a hint of kindness.

Linghu Chong found it strange that his master's wife was apparently protecting Junior Brother Zhao in secret.

No one among the younger disciples around dared to interrupt, but many of them were looking at Zhao Rong.

Taoist Tianmen stepped forward and said in a loud voice: "All the sect leaders are old friends, why bother to blow the mountain wind here?"

Zuo Lengchan then stretched out his hand and waved towards the Shengguan headquarters of the Songshan Sect.

"Masters, please!"

"please!"

……

After a brief eye contact with his master, Zhao Rong did not dare to be careless. He walked side by side with Linghu Chong and led the disciples of Hengshan and Huashan to follow behind several masters.

After going up the mountain path, the tall and solid wall becomes more eye-catching.

Opposite the solid wall was dark fog, with a steep cliff and a ravine a thousand feet deep below.

The lush trees are like sharp swords spread on the cliff, echoing the sword-wielding disciples on the high walls of Songshan Mountain. It is truly majestic and heroic, with swords and halberds as awe-inspiring as ever!
Rough stones are laid out in a continuous line, scattered in an orderly manner on the top of the mountain.

After entering the gate, the roofs of the inner rooms are all covered with glazed tiles, which is magnificent.

There are green pines and cypresses all around, each with its own unique appearance.

Eight on the left and nine on the right secretly correspond to the seventeen internal and external sword techniques, implying that the sword techniques of Songshan are as evergreen as pine and cypress.

After passing the front yard, the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

Immediately, I saw five huge stone pillars, with an altar in the center, which was quite spacious.

This place should be able to accommodate a thousand people.

However, this is not the Fengshan Terrace of Mount Song when the Five Sacred Mountains were united, one still has to climb to the top of Mount Song.

Seeing the other disciples from various sects stop, Zhao Rong also hurriedly stopped and took half a step back.

Although his master had told him the rules of the alliance meeting, it was his first time in Songshan Sect, so some things were not so easy to deal with.

Now that the five leaders are present, according to the rules, the prelude to the alliance meeting should be started.

"Please~!"

"please!"

Zuo Lengchan took out a large incense stick from the incense burner in the palace that was taller than a person, and the leaders of various sects then politely gave way.

Nun Dingxian and Taoist Tianmen went to get it later, and Sect Leader Yue and Mo Da went to get it last.

"Hengshan, the Northern Peak."

"Mount Tai, the Eastern Peak!"

"The Western Peak, Huashan."

"Nanyue Hengshan Mountain."

"Zhongyue Songshan!"

The five masters each held up incense.

Then came the sounds of people leaping onto the stone platform using their Qing Kung Fu. The leaders of each sect displayed their Qing Kung Fu and leaped onto the stone platform in different directions.

In previous years, the stone pillars were only about two meters high. With the strength of each sect leader, they could climb up with one leap.

But the Songshan School piled up large stones and raised the height of the stone pillar to three meters.

Now, the leaders of the four sects in the east, west, south and north all need to tap on the stone pillar to gain leverage.

Only Zuo Lengchan in the center jumped up and climbed onto the Zhongyue stone pillar which was higher than the others!

With just this one leap, he regarded Zhongyue as the highest and looked down upon the other four mountains!
The disciples and guardians of Songshan all raised their heads.

It is obvious that the power of the Left Alliance Leader surpasses that of the other leaders.

Judging from the kung fu alone, the disciples of the other four sects all felt that the four sect leaders were extremely skilled, and when they looked at Alliance Leader Zuo, they were even more amazed and impressed.

Linghu Chong glanced in Zhao Rong's direction without leaving a trace.

"Junior Brother Zhao's Qinggong is even better than Master's Wife's. If he were to go on stage, he would probably be no less powerful than the four sect leaders."

The more he thought about it, the more surprised he became, and he couldn't help but laugh and sigh in his heart.

After all, this is comparing a sixteen-year-old boy with the leaders of four sects.

Zhao Rong sensed Linghu Chong's gaze, but ignored him and only looked at Alliance Leader Zuo.

"According to the records of the Hengshan Ape Elder, the upper limit of the Ape's somersault strength is five feet, but it requires extremely high internal strength."

'With Master's skill, he can only reach the six meridians circulation, and is stuck at the Diji acupoint like me.'

'Further up is the Blood Sea Point, where seven meridians are connected, greatly increasing the power.'

The Xuehai point is located two inches above the inner edge of the patella and is also the key to the release of power in Qinggong.

With such achievements, he was determined to surpass Alliance Leader Zuo.

Zhao Rong's heart was filled with emotions.

This internal strength is not easy to cultivate, I'm afraid it will take a few years.

Hey sister, I want to drink again
On the five stone pillars, the leaders of each sect held up incense and bowed four times, while Zuo Lengchan bowed to the ancestral temple of the Songshan Sect.

They lit incense at five locations: east, west, south, north and center, completing the prelude to this alliance.

After coming down from the high platform, Tianmen Taoist said, "Senior Brother Zuo's skills have made great progress again. This is really cause for celebration."

"No, no," Zuo Lengchan said with a smile, "I have only used my humble tricks and have embarrassed myself in front of all of you friends."

Sect Leader Yue smiled but said nothing.

Master Dingxian gave a sincere compliment, and Mr. Mo Da looked at the tall stone pillar, then looked in the direction of the Hengshan disciples without leaving any trace.

The stone pillars grew taller every year, and Mo Da was unhappy to see Alliance Leader Zuo showing off in front of him.

Zuo Lengchan is such a villain. Next time, ask A Rong to dance with you. I will not be the leader anymore.
The younger generations of the Five Mountains Sword Sects held sword-fighting competitions at the meeting place, but that was only a minor detail of the meeting.

At this moment, all the masters went to the Songshan Hall together.

On the Hengshan Sect side, only Zhao Rong and Cheng Mingyi followed.

When it was time for lunch, the other disciples from Huashan and Hengshan went to eat together with the disciples from the other three sects.

There was a separate table set up in the Songshan Reception Hall. Zhao Rong and Cheng Mingyi did not want to eat for the time being, so they stood behind Mr. Mo Da.

Standing behind Sect Leader Yue and Ning Zhongze were Linghu Chong and Lao Denuo.

Behind Zuo Lengchan were Shi Dengda and Di Xiu.

Weng Dazhang, Jianchu, Yihe and Yiqing stood behind Taoist Tianmen and Master Dingxian respectively.

Those present were all the senior and second disciples from various sects.

Such occasions were usually to discuss important matters. But what puzzled Zhao Rong was that when the banquet was spread out in the Songshan Hall, Zuo Lengchan only chatted with the leaders of various sects about family matters, and did not mention anything about the "merger" of the Five Mountains.

There is no expression, either overtly or covertly.

It no longer had the majestic presence it had in front of the mountain gate, and it seemed as if it was just a meeting of old friends, inviting the major leaders to reminisce about the past.

All Mr. Mo Da's preparations were of no use.

He felt that there was something fishy going on and decided not to mention the Demon Cult's move south for the time being.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the four leaders guessed Zuo Lengchan's intention for a long time, and suddenly heard him say:

"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"We'll discuss important matters on the agreed date."

Zuo Lengchan's words clearly showed that he had fooled everyone.

Mr. Mo Da didn't want him to get his way, so he spoke first:
"It seems that Alliance Leader Zuo has saved all the good wine for tomorrow. Today we are climbing Mount Song, but we can't drink any good wine."

"The wine we drank today is also good," Zuo Lengchan said with a smile, "but tomorrow will be the best day for all the Five Mountains sects to gather together when the flowers are in full bloom and the moon is full."

"It means the Five Mountains are reunited and as close as one family. Even if it is the same wine, it will taste better tomorrow."

Taoist Tianmen had a bad temper to begin with, and after the beginning of Mo Da, he also said with a little dissatisfaction:

"We are all rough men in the martial arts world. If we have something important to say, we should just speak it out. Especially when dealing with the Demon Cult, there is no need to care about the quality of the Moon Flower."

"That's wrong," Zuo Lengchan said, "A thousand years ago, the clouds rose from the top of Mount Tai, and the Han Dynasty sealed it. Junior Brother Tianmen summarized it in one sentence, but I'm afraid that the predecessors of Mount Tai and the people in the martial arts world would not agree."

Taoist Tianmen stopped talking.

Yue Buqun said: "In previous years, we would discuss things whenever we got together, and we didn't care about the solar terms. Senior Brother Zuo has been resting his mind in Songshan, and his skills have become more profound. He now has more leisure time than before."

This means that he is fickle and also refers to his skill, which naturally alludes to the tall stone pillar.

Yue Buqun called him a villain, and Zuo Lengchan could not help but hear it, but he did not seem to be angry at all.

Instead, he smiled and said, "Everything in the world is changing all the time. It is because I, Zuo, have lost my ambition that I care more about things. I want a full moon, but I am not as ambitious as Brother Yue."

Yue Buqun stopped talking, and Zuo Lengchan looked at Ding Xian again, "Does Master have any advice?"

The teacher smiled and said sincerely, "How can I win the debate against Alliance Leader Zuo? I have no better ideas, so I will just listen to Alliance Leader Zuo's arrangements."

"Hahaha!"

"it is good!"

Zuo Lengchan smiled domineeringly and raised his glass again, "Everyone, have another drink."

The teacher's wife doesn't drink alcohol, so she drank water instead, which was not impolite.

At this time, the leaders of the four sects had already sensed that something was wrong.

Secretly guessing what Zuo Lengchan would plan for tomorrow.

The disciples of various sects saw what was happening in the main hall of Songshan Mountain, but they were not surprised. After all, it was not the first time they had seen it.

Only Zhao Rong had a deeper understanding of Zuo Lengchan's tyranny.

If nothing unexpected happened, the leaders of the four sects would indeed be no match for Zuo Lengchan.

The elders from each sect temporarily dispersed after the meal and were led by the Songshan disciples to their respective courtyards.

The eldest and second disciples of Wu Yue set up a separate table outside.

Zhao Rong did not feel at ease during this meal.

I had just met some disciples from the Hengshan and Taishan sects. We chatted briefly but we weren't very familiar with each other.

But when they first dealt with the two people from the Songshan School, they were much more "enthusiastic".

especially.
Thousand-foot pine, Stendar!
He is very tall, a head taller than Di Xiu next to him, no wonder he is called Qianzhangsong.

"Junior Brother Zhao, have you ever heard of the name Shi Xianying?"

Stendar suddenly asked this question, his eyes fixed on the boy.

"Shi Xianying" Zhao Rong muttered, with a puzzled look on his face.

He asked back, "Brother Shi, I have no impression of this name. He and I have the same last name, what is the relationship?"

"He's my cousin."

"I see," Zhao Rong said with a hint of apology, "I became your disciple late, and I'm new here, so I don't even know all the disciples in this sect. Please don't blame me, senior brother."

Stendar could see nothing unusual on his face.

The people at the same table suddenly heard him say, "My cousin died in Hengzhou Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Lao Denuo shook his head and asked, "Who did this?"

Linghu Chong sighed, "I saw Junior Brother Shi last time. Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. We are separated by the Yin and Yang. I wonder why he went to Hengzhou Prefecture."

Weng Dazhang, Jianchu, Yihe and Yiqing all looked at Zhao Rong.

For a sixteen-year-old boy, it would definitely be stressful to have so much attention on him.

Zhao Rong sighed, his face full of bitterness:
"It turns out that among those friends in Songshan who died at the hands of the Demon Cult, there was actually Senior Brother Shi's cousin."

He turned to Linghu Chong and explained:
"Junior Brother Shi died in Hengzhou for the same reason as Uncle Master Gao."

Weng Dazhang inherited the character of Tianmen Taoist and could not help but shout angrily: "The Demon Cult deserves death!"

Shi Dengda frowned: "Is it really as Junior Brother Zhao said?"

Zhao Rong was like a pissed off teenager who was telling the truth but no one believed him. His face flushed slightly and he pointed to the sky and swore:

"If I tell you even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."

And thought:
"I killed both of these bastards, how can their causes of death be different?"

Linghu Chong pinched his chin, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly as he stared at Zhao Rong.

"Junior Brother Zhao's acting skills are truly unrivaled. Master said that many of the seniors in Hengshan came from performing arts and magic tricks. If I didn't know that Junior Brother Zhao was an expert, I would have been fooled by him."

"Junior Brother Zhao, why do you have to be like this?" Hengshan's eldest sister Yihe was known for her rude temperament, but she could distinguish right from wrong. "Junior Brother has been fighting against the Demon Cult in Hengzhou Prefecture. I haven't heard that there is anything strange about Junior Brother Shi's reputation."

Zhao Rong was the youngest present, and Yihe could not help but glare at Shi Dengda, "How can Senior Brother Shi take his anger out on Junior Brother Zhao for this?"

"Junior sister, you misunderstood," Stendar calmed down again.

If you didn't know it clearly, you would probably think that what Zhao Rong said was true.

It seems that just as the uncle-master said, everything was planned by the old fox Mr. Mo Da.

Yihe did not let him off and started to slander him: "You are bullying the weak. If I were fifteen or sixteen years old, I would have cried if I was frightened by Senior Brother Songshan like this."

Shi Dengda knew Yihe's temper, so he didn't get angry with him.

Hearing this, he smiled and raised a glass of wine to Zhao Rong:

"It's my fault, Senior Brother. I'll have a drink with you."

After he finished drinking, several people around him nodded, and Zhao Rong raised his glass again.

"Brother Shi, I will kill as many evil cult thieves as possible in Hengzhou Prefecture to avenge my brother!"

He drank it all after he finished speaking.

"it is good!"

Yihe and Weng Dazhang cheered when they heard this. One of them took a glass of wine and the other took a glass of water, and they drank a glass with Zhao Rong.

Linghu Chong also took the opportunity to raise his glass and drink.

The four sects' senior brothers and sisters stood together for some unknown reason, and Shi Dengda could not continue to make things difficult for Zhao Rong.

So he suggested:
"It's been a long time since I last saw you, fellow brothers and sisters. I'm sure you've all made progress in your art."

"It happens to be the Five Mountains Alliance Meeting."

"After Master and his uncles have finished discussing important matters, we, the younger generation, will have a sword fight to liven up the atmosphere and learn from each other."

When this was said, no one objected.

The Hengshan disciples had no interest in the sword fight, but they did not want to spoil the fun, so they just casually fought back in previous years.

They don't care about winning or losing.

Finally the dinner was over.

Zhao Rongting missed the days in the escort agency when he was a nobody and just ate at banquets.

……

That night, the fire was burning in the Songshan School's training room as usual.

Zuo Lengchan sat cross-legged on the tiger skin.

Pagoda-holding hand Ding Mian, crane-hand Lu Bai, Great Songyang hand Fei Bin, Great Yin-Yang hand Le Hou, Nine-curve sword Zhong Zhen and deputy head Tang Ying'e were all present.

"Brother!" Lu Bai said angrily, "Junior Brother Sun died tragically!"

Lu Bai had a very good relationship with Sun Zhenda and was filled with anger at this time.

He even took his anger out on the Hengshan and Huashan sects. "The Hengshan and Huashan sects simultaneously encountered the evil sect thieves who surrounded Junior Brother Sun. If they had taken action earlier, Junior Brother Sun would not have died tragically."

"Mo Da and Yue Buqun must have watched the show first, and then took action after seeing Junior Brother Sun being tortured by the Demon Cult."

Zuo Lengchan didn't follow his words: "Bury Junior Brother Sun properly."

"I have a grudge and I remember it, but I can't lose my composure at this moment, otherwise I will have broken the agreement with Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Chongxu, right?"

"They want to use my Songshan Sect."

"I want to leave them speechless."

Ding Mian said expressionlessly, "Brother, the Demon Cult has penetrated deep into the heart of the Central Plains to surround Junior Brother Sun. It seems that the matter has been accomplished."

"Ah."

Zuo Lengchan sneered, "This time, I'm going to make them all suffer setbacks."

Lu Bai asked again: "What should we do with Senior Brother Gao's ashes?"

Zuo Lengchan exhaled: "Throw it to the cliff in the back mountain."

Lu Bai nodded, "That's right. When we asked Mo Da, that old fox, to deliver the corpse, he delivered a jar of ashes. It's been so long, who knows if the ashes belong to Senior Brother Gao or the thieves of the Demon Sect."

"This old fox is very evil. He sang and summoned souls all the way up the mountain. He probably wanted to use the ashes of the evil cult thieves to ruin the Feng Shui of Songshan."

"How can we let him succeed!"

Zuo Lengchan showed a cold expression: "Mo Da has been out of sight for a long time. We all underestimated this old fox."

"They led Junior Brother Sun up the mountain and pretended to be stupid, so I couldn't make trouble."

Fei Bin raised his whiskers and said, "Mo Da and Yue Buqun went up the mountain together. I'm afraid they have been in cahoots for a long time."

"The four sect leaders had a drinking contest with Senior Brother today. It seems that they will not agree to merge their sects this time."

Zuo Lengchan's eyes flashed, a cunning smile appeared on his face, and he said arrogantly: "How can this be hidden from my eyes?"

"My fellow apprentices, please prepare early. I will deal with them tomorrow."

"Yes!"

……

When Zuo Lengchan was discussing matters with a group of guards, no one mentioned the word "Zhao Rong" anymore.

I met this young man from Hengshan today, and we both have our own ideas.

This name is no longer qualified to appear in discussions about the "big conspiracy".

All he could say was “Great, great, great”.

All the conspiracies and plots of Hengzhou Prefecture pointed to this old fox who had been hiding for a long time.

In the courtyard allocated by the Songshan School to the Hengshan School.

Mr. Mo Da sneezed a few times, and Zhao Rong poured him a cup of hot tea.

"It must be someone from the Songshan Sect who is cursing me behind my back."

Zhao Rong smiled, then asked suspiciously, "Master, can you guess why Zuo Lengchan wants to wait until tomorrow?"

"I don't know, but it's very strange that the leaders of the four sects have noticed it."

Mr. Mo Da frowned:

"In the past, when we went to Songshan, no matter what day we agreed to go, as long as the Five Mountains were present, Zuo Lengchan would not delay for a moment."

"However, there is one thing that cannot be changed."

Mo Da warned, "Although you have quick wits, no matter what you hear tomorrow or what good strategies you have to deal with it, don't reveal it to Zuo Lengchan."

"Today, I am observing the words and deeds of the four sect leaders. Everyone is still in tacit understanding as in previous years."

"As long as the four sects are united, and there is the threat of Shaolin and Wudang, Zuo Lengchan will not dare to act recklessly."

"but."

"He is a villain who is not afraid of breaking up. If you make him jealous, he will just use the name of a spy from the Demon Sect to attack you. No one in Songshan can stop him for you."

Zhao Rong nodded solemnly and said comfortingly: "Master, don't worry about this. I won't joke with my life."

Mo Da smiled and looked out the window.

He then whispered to give some pointers: "Ah Rong, today you have met the leaders of these major sects, and I want to make you understand a truth."

"Master, please speak."

Mo Da looked at him with eyes full of love, and said seriously:
“You have to remember this.”

"Not only Zuo Lengchan, even Shaolin Master Fangzheng and Wudang Taoist Master Chongxu would not like you if they knew what kind of person you are. Instead, they would be extremely wary of you."

"Because you have the ability to lead your sect to become strong, even strong enough to threaten the status of Shaolin and Wudang."

"If you like drinking and being unruly like Linghu Chong next door, Fang Zheng Chongxu and the others will like you, praise you, and guide you when they see you."

"Because without Zuo Lengchan, they can make you the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance and stand in front of them to fight against the Demon Cult."

Mo Da leaned out of the window again, extremely cautiously.

"My ability is average, but I have lived for so long that my eyes are not blind."

"Shaolin and Wudang underestimated Zuo Lengchan's ambition and ability. They are absolutely not satisfied with this leader of the Five Mountains. However, the Songshan Sect has become powerful, and there are demon sects outside who are eyeing them covetously. There is nothing they can do for the time being."

"As for you, they will be even less satisfied."

"So when you meet the headmaster of a major sect, don't trust their words easily."

Zhao Rong exhaled and said respectfully, "Master, I will remember this."

Then he snorted again:
"They want to use me as a gun, but they are dreaming."

"Hahaha!" Mo Da laughed with relief, "This is my good disciple."

……

At noon the next day, a grand banquet was held in Songshan.

The Five Mountains Sword Sects sat together and drank together to celebrate their reunion after three years and to celebrate the alliance. The scene was extremely lively.

Of course, the real focus is naturally on the evening banquet.

The lights in the Songshan Hall are bright, and a bright moon hangs in the sky during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Alliance Leader Zuo asked people to open the windows, and the moonlight shone at a clever angle onto the cups on the table in the center of the hall. The autumn wind blew in through the doors and windows, the lights swayed, and the moonlight in the cups swayed with them, shining brightly and colorfully, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Just like yesterday, Zhao Rong and Cheng Mingyi stood behind Mr. Mo Da.

but,
The Songshan Hall is completely different from yesterday!

They gathered in the middle, surrounded not only by disciples from various sects, but also many martial artists who had just climbed the mountain today!
These people are not just martial artists from the Central Plains.

But from all corners of the world!

They went to worship the mountain together in the name of celebrating the Five Mountains Alliance, which was obviously arranged by Alliance Leader Zuo in advance.

Many people have stayed in Yangcheng before!
No wonder the heroine said that Yangcheng was suddenly in chaos.

With so many evil spirits gathered here, how could there not be chaos?

He had a vague feeling that things were not simple, but Zhao Rong couldn't guess Zuo Lengchan's specific intentions.

When the moonlight shone on the banquet, Zuo Lengchan in the Songshan Hall smiled.

He said to the four sect leaders:

"The sky is so clear tonight. There is not even a cloud in sight. The moonlight is so bright."

Taoist Tianmen also smiled: "This is a blessing from heaven."

"No!"

Leader Zuo shook his head.
Suddenly he clasped his hands together and said in a domineering voice:
"This is the merging of the Five Mountains. The sword energy is soaring into the sky. No demonic clouds or fog dares to stop it!"
