Chapter 494: The Old Master Comes Out of Seclusion

Chengshan City is an ancient city with a population of millions and a history of tens of thousands of years. In this ancient city, there are dozens of sects of all sizes.

Sects fought against each other, and bloody battles and extermination of sects were common occurrences.

But among these sects, only four have been able to survive thousands of years of wind and rain.

Among them, moving the mountain gate is one of them.

Since the founding of Banshan Sect by its founder Banshan Zhenren, Banshan Sect has a history of more than 3,500 years, making it the oldest among many sects.

But there is no sect in this world that will never fall.

Ever since the great war hundreds of years ago, Banshanmen has fallen into decline.

The rise of a sect is often full of difficulties, but its fall is quite easy.

The sect's classics were scattered, the occupied city areas were divided up, good disciples were robbed or assassinated... After thousands of years of decline, Banshanmen finally reached a critical moment of life and death.

The lobby of Banshanmen headquarters.

As a thousand-year-old sect, the headquarters of Banshanmen has never changed. Although it has been renovated several times, the three thousand years of wind and rain still make this building full of historical charm.

In the lobby, the hall master's seat that was once full was now only one-third occupied.

Among them, many were injured.

On the main seat, a middle-aged wild beastman, who was as big as a bear but had a weak breath, frowned.

This middle-aged man is Kong Xiong, the leader of the Banshanmen sect.

Half a year ago, a knight from nowhere came to test his martial arts and beat him up, causing internal injuries.

Soon after, a rumor spread in Chengshan City that the old leader of Banshan Sect had died, and the new leader was a waste because he could not master the Banshan Bull Strength.

The former overlord of Chengshan City is now just a paper tiger.
In the hall, a wild beastman who looked like a disciple was half-kneeling on the ground, holding a vermilion invitation in his hand.

"Master, the messenger from Taiyue Sect has sent an invitation to you to participate in this year's Chengshan Martial Arts Conference."

Kong Xiong stretched out his hand and the invitation was grabbed by an invisible force and fell into his hands. He opened it and a strong pressure instantly filled the entire hall.

As the leader of Banshanmen, Kong Xiong's strength has reached the level of a martial arts master.

"These bastards are really going too far! They are clearly trying to move us to the mountain gate and divide us up!"

The content at the beginning of the invitation was very simple, just like the hundreds of previous martial arts competitions, full of clichés. But at the end of the invitation, the Taiyue Sect added a sentence.

It is said that there have been constant fighting among sects in recent years, causing many businesses in the city to be greatly affected.

However, the taxes levied from above kept rising. In order to allow Chengshan City to pay enough taxes, they decided to form a Chengshan Martial Alliance to divide the power of each faction and end the chaos.

But this sounds high-sounding, but those big parties are the ones at the table, and those small parties who are supposed to be at the table have also found backers in advance.

He was the only one who was not strong enough to sit on the chair when moving the mountain gate, but he was also unwilling to humble himself.

When the martial arts competition begins, they will not even get a sip of soup. The foundation laid by their ancestors will also be divided up by others.

But even if we can see it, what can we do?
Without sufficient strength, you can only sit at the table.

All the major sects have witnessed the former glory of Banshanmen. If they can prevent Banshanmen from recovering forever, they don't mind stepping on it.

The pressure dissipated, Kong Xiong coughed, and waved to the silent hall masters.

"Well, let's all go. I'll figure out a way to deal with this."

Some of the hall masters wanted to say something, but in the end they said nothing.

In their opinion, they can just give up their face, be humble and keep a low profile, and wait for the opportunity to come and take it back.

Kong Xiong glanced at them, and he naturally knew what these people meant. But he knew even more about the thoughts of other sects.

Moving to the mountain gate and keeping a low profile is just like scraping flesh with a small knife.

Those sects that attacked Banshanmen back then would not give up unless they completely crushed it.

Soon, the hall masters in the hall dispersed.

Kong Xiong moved his body, and flew in the air towards the back mountain.

Chengshan City was built on the mountain, and the huge city was almost made up of hills of various sizes. Although many of these hills had been flattened by warriors, the gardens of the major sects would almost always leave a few hills as landscapes.

In the past, Banshanmen was the overlord of Chengshan City, and his gardens were extremely vast, with naturally many hills.

Kong Xiong flew among these hills for a while and finally stopped in front of a cave entrance blocked by huge rocks.

He knelt on his knees facing the cave entrance and said sadly, "Master, the sect has reached a critical moment of life and death. If you don't come out of seclusion, our three thousand years of foundation will be destroyed in the hands of us, master and disciple!"

After saying this, Kong Xiong bowed heavily to the ground.

But after a long while, there was still no response from inside the cave.

Kong Xiong felt a little desperate. Could it be that that little bit of face was more important than the existence of the sect?
But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a muffled sound, and the boulder in front of him seemed to tremble.

The next moment, there was a loud bang.

The huge rock that blocked the cave entrance suddenly broke, and an old orc with a heroic face, as if cast from iron, walked out. Kong Xiong looked at the old orc, and his eyes suddenly filled with tears.

He kowtowed to the old orc and said, "Disciple Kong Xiong, respectfully welcomes the master out of retreat!"

When the old orc heard this, his face looked a little strange. He stretched his muscles and said slowly: "Get up, Kong..."

The old orc paused, as if thinking. Soon, he spoke again: "Get up, Kong Xiong."

Kong Xiong stood up, not noticing anything strange about his master.

"Master, the sects in Chengshan City are about to divide us up. I am incompetent and it is difficult for me to stand up for the sect, so I can only ask you to come out of seclusion."

The old orc nodded slightly: "Okay, I got it. Find me a room, and send me all the changes in the city over the years."

"Arrange the room?"

Kong Xiong shuddered and said in fear and trepidation: "Master, you are the head of the sect now that you have come out of retreat. I will clean up your room right now and make sure it is exactly the same as before you left."

The old orc said expressionlessly: "Okay, go ahead and do it."

"Yes!"

Looking at Kong Xiong going away, the old orc landed on the ground and suddenly relaxed.

A black crow flew out of the forest and landed on the old orc's shoulder, saying, "This kid is really patient. He only asked you to come out now."

The old orc stretched his muscles and spoke with a complaining tone.

"I feel like I was too gentle that day. I should have just left him with a breath of fresh air."

As he spoke, the old orc changed his shape, and in a moment he turned from an old orc into Richard.

After reading this, I think you all have understood.

Everything that happened to Banshanmen in the past six months was planned by the dark wizard Richard.

After following the caravan into Chengshan City, Richard began his own plan.

He first confirmed the specific situation of the Moving Mountain Gate. After confirming that the situation was indeed as the old orc in the caravan said, he sneaked into the mountain behind the Moving Mountain Gate.

With the help of the Eye of Dimension, Richard quickly found the former leader of the Banshan Sect who was in seclusion.

The old leader of the Banshan Sect was already somewhat mentally confused at that time. Years of failures and unscientific experimental methods had a great impact on his brain.

With his overwhelming physical fitness and superb stealth skills, Richard easily dealt with the old orc.

And through soul searching, he learned part of the old orc's memory - there was no other way, he didn't know the rules of souls, nor was he a wizard of the soul school. He learned soul searching for this infiltration. Being able to obtain part of the memory was already the limit.

After that, he transformed himself into a martial artist and injured the current leader of Banshanmen. Then he spread rumors in the city that the old leader of Banshanmen was dead and the new one was a fool.

Force Kong Xiong to ask him to come out.

Under such circumstances, there would be no doubts about his identity. Even if there were, they would be eliminated after he solved the current problem of Banshanmen.

"But there is a problem with this. You don't know the martial arts of moving the mountain gate, so it will be easy to be exposed in this battle."

Facing Ulises's question, Richard confidently said, "I have studied it. The biggest feature of this mountain-moving bull power is its great strength. And my strength, to be frank, is higher than those crazy people who use martial arts even without martial arts.

At that time, I will just casually say that I have gained something during the retreat, and they can fill in the rest of the information on their own."

Ulises was stunned when he heard this, and then praised: "You made the right choice by choosing this old guy. He can get away with anything by staying in seclusion."

Richard chuckled. If the situation of Banshanmen was not so special, he would not have spent so much effort sneaking in and spreading rumors to force Banshanmen to invite out the old leader.

Soon, Kong Xiong returned to the back mountain.

He looked at the black crow standing on his master's shoulder, then looked at his expressionless master, and decided to put the matter of the black crow aside for the time being.

He knew that his master was a man who cared a lot about his reputation. Breaking his oath and coming out of seclusion this time was a humiliation to his master's dignity. If he spoke too much and angered his master at this moment, he would most likely be severely beaten.

He had experienced too many things like this before he became the sect leader.

"Master, your room is ready."

Richard glanced at Kong Xiong and nodded slightly: "Okay, take me there. Also, list the names of the sects that have bullied us the most in recent years."

When Kong Xiong heard this, his eyes suddenly became sore.

After being bullied for so many years, I finally got my revenge. But... although my master is stronger than me, he is not that strong.

Moreover, my master has been in seclusion for so many years and has not fought with anyone during this time. It is still unknown whether he still has the same strength as he did in the past.

Richard glanced at Kong Xiong and slapped the big tree next to him.

Instantly, there was a muffled sound, and a hundred-year-old tree collapsed.

When Kong Xiong took a look, he found that the core of the tree had been completely shattered, but the outer layer of the tree was not damaged at all.

This is obviously the result of meticulous control of power.

Richard said calmly: "I have gained some insights over the years. Although I haven't completed the method of body training, I am not standing still in the martial arts."
