Eternal Sword

Chapter 430 Fanfare
The sixty-year-old man in the deep cell shook his head and said, "You have obtained your position improperly and behaved improperly. Even if you become the head of the Plum Blossom Sword Sect, the righteous people in the martial arts world will not recognize you."

"Hahahaha!"

Peng Shiquan laughed loudly and said, "Old Mei, you are totally wrong!"

"I might as well tell you that at the sect leader ceremony three days later, all the prominent forces in Wuzhou have agreed to send people to watch and congratulate. People from the Buddhist sect, Zuixian Tower, and even Langya Pavilion have already come!"

Mei Qingyuan remained silent.

Peng Shiquan snorted and said, "I've told you long ago that your way of doing things won't work in today's martial arts world! The Plum Blossom Sword School is getting worse and worse under your leadership, but you're still clinging to those rotten, outdated rules, clinging to the old and failing, and not knowing how to adapt!"

Mei Qingyuan said slowly: "Some things are the bottom line, the foundation of the world!"

"What the hell is the bottom line?

Peng Shiquan sneered, "I only know that the Plum Blossom Sword Sect is getting poorer and poorer, and the number of disciples is decreasing! But you are still stubborn. When choosing disciples, you still value things like character, character, and talent. What's the point?"

Mei Qingyuan said: "So, you secretly colluded with some powerful officials and placed their people in the Plum Blossom Sword Sect."

"What's wrong with this?"

Peng Shiquan said: "What's wrong with the rich and powerful? What's wrong with the government? As long as they have money, what's wrong with letting their people join the sect?"

"Do you have the business of Zuixianlou and Chadaomen that are scattered across the six states? Do you have the business of Tianma Escort Agency that travels around the world of Daxia and is respected by the outlaws everywhere? You don't rely on water, and you're not like the Xiajiang Boat Gang that does business on the water."

"The Plum Blossom Sword Sect has nothing. If this continues, it will only get worse!"

Mei Qingyuan shook his head and asked, "You should be grateful to those who have helped you. So, since you accepted money from the powerful officials, you dared to let any rotten people or bullying officials into your sect!"

"Hahahaha!"

Peng Shiquan laughed loudly and said, "They are rotten people. So what if they are disciples you personally selected? When disaster strikes, won't most of these disciples still stand on my side?"

Mei Qingyuan sighed inwardly when he heard this, with a complicated expression.

After Peng Shiquan seized the position of the head of the sect, he began to kill people indiscriminately and purged the sword sect disciples who opposed him.

Under the threat of killing and bloodshed, many fellow disciples could not bear it and chose to surrender.

Not everyone can face death calmly in this situation.

Mei Qingyuan didn't blame them.

After all, these disciples are still young and have a bright future.

Of course, dozens of disciples like Mei Zhenyu still maintained their pride and never surrendered even under Peng Shiquan's killing attack!
"Peng Shiquan."

Mei Qingyuan said: "It was my decision to expel you from the sect. These disciples have no grudges against you. Please give them a chance to live."

"can."

Peng Shiquan smiled slightly and said, "I am not the kind of unreasonable person. As long as any of you are willing to stand up and recognize me as the head of the Plum Blossom Sword School, I will give you a way out."

"The opportunity is right in front of you. It's up to you to choose."

"fart!"

"Daydreaming!"

The remaining disciples, who had the strength left, started cursing and glaring angrily.

"Very good, you have backbone."

Peng Shiquan nodded, grinned, and said, "After three days, I will officially become the head of the Plum Blossom Sword Sect, and then I will play with you slowly."

Ali's body was curled up, pressed against the wall of the prison, hidden in the shadows, blending in with the night, the walls, and the surrounding environment, without a single flaw visible.

The sound of her heartbeat had almost disappeared!

The hermit closest to her was only three meters away, but he didn't find any trace of her!

Ali listened to the conversation inside, occasionally squinting his eyes, looking around, and then quickly closing them again, just listening with his ears.

This is the foundation of the hermit.

If you stare at someone for a long time, even an ordinary person will have some perception, not to mention some powerful warriors. Also, you can't open your eyes too wide.

Under the reflection of light, your actions may be exposed!
Ali was calculating silently in his mind.

With her means, she is 70% sure that she can assassinate Peng Shiquan.

But it is likely to alert the enemy.

There are too many people guarding around.

There are still many hermits hiding in the dark, and she is unable to eliminate all the secret sentries at the same time.

Any slight movement will arouse the vigilance of some hermits!

Moreover, around Peng Shiquan, it seems that...

Ali was a little unsure.

She always felt that there were three variables in the assassination of Peng Shiquan at this moment!
This is an intuition developed through the accumulation of countless assassination experiences.

Ali did not act rashly.

She came out tonight mainly for investigation.

After a moment, Peng Shiquan prepared to leave.

The moment he pushed open the cell door, a ghost figure floated out from the darkness, following Peng Shiquan silently and untouched, just like his shadow!
Ali immediately closed his eyes.

The third level of hidden!

Moreover, among the top hidden people, this person's hiding methods are also extremely sophisticated!
The three variables fall on this Shang Yin!
After the two left, Ali remained dormant.

Not long after, the upper hermit turned back and explored the area nearby. After making sure that all the hermits guarding nearby were there and found nothing unusual, he turned around and left.

Ali waited for a while before leaving quietly.

Realizing that Ali had returned, Chen Tang put away his sword and went back to the house.

It was not until this moment that Wu Ming's several disciples who were following them breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Just now, several of them didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of exposing their whereabouts.

"This guy has really good stamina. He actually practiced sword fighting for more than an hour."

"It seems that the headmaster is worrying too much. This person's swordsmanship is indeed inherited from Shujiantang. It seems to be some kind of post."

"It's called 'Linhe Xu', but you don't even know that. If you look closely at his sword moves, you'll see that he's actually writing words."

Even after entering the house, Chen Tang could still hear the conversations of several sword sect disciples outside.

It’s not that these disciples are not careful enough.

However, seeing that he was young, had no internal energy, and had flat temples on both sides, everyone thought that his cultivation level was no more than the sixth level.

At this distance, it was indeed impossible to hear the people talking in low voices.

It’s a pity that Chen Tang has already reached the state of enlightenment and has the ability to see and hear!

Ali made a few gestures and simply explained to Chen Tang what he had just seen and heard.

Chen Tang could roughly understand it.

Finally, Ali said that the security there was tight and airtight, plus there were dozens of people trapped, they were weak and had little fighting power, so it would be difficult for the two of them to rescue them silently.

Chen Tang pondered for a moment, smiled faintly, and said: "If we can't do it quietly, then we should do it in a big way."

"Three days later, this person will take over as the head of the sect. I will give him a great gift!"

Three days later, Peng Shiquan took over as the head of the Plum Blossom Sword Sect in the front mountain. All the major martial arts forces came to watch and congratulate him. This was also the time when the guards in the prison in the back mountain were the most lax.
