Hunyuan Immortal Sect

Chapter 226 Satisfactory Explanation
Modzhenhan ranks fifth among the leaders of Tianshan Sect. He was originally the fifth in command of Tianshan Sect. However, because Helian Quan seized Tianshan and abolished the position of the first in command Chen Yunlong, and the third in command Hu Feng fled far away, the fourth in command Huang He was originally a neutral faction, and he was the only one from Helian Quan's faction.

Therefore, after Helian Quan came to power, he promoted him to the second in command.

"You don't have to be polite, fellow Daoist. I'm here on the orders of my master to mediate your internal conflict. Please lead the way! Let's go to your main hall. I have an announcement from my master." Xu Hao said lightly.

"Please come in, Fellow Daoist Xu." Although Mode Zhenhan was surprised and didn't know why he brought Huang He and Lin Zixiang with him, he didn't ask any more questions and could only lead the few people in.

Several leaders of Luofeng Valley looked at each other, wondering what Xu Hao's intention was.

After the group arrived at the main hall, Xu Hao took the main seat without any hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist Mode Zhenhan, please call all the monks stationed in Luofeng Valley."

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist Xu, why have you called them all here?"

Xu Hao said coldly: "I am going to announce the order of my master. This order is to be conveyed to all the monks in Tianshan. Does my master need to explain to you what he did?" Seeing Xu Hao angry, Mode Zhenhan didn't dare to ask any more questions. He could only do as he was told and ordered people to invite all the monks in Luofeng Valley.

Soon, everyone arrived in the hall.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, all our garrison personnel have arrived."

Xu Hao glanced at the crowd and said sternly, "The Tianshan Sect was originally supported by Uncle Yang Jinzhang. He guarded this important passage for our sect and intercepted the spiritual beast trade with the caravans. Now, for fame and fortune, they have disregarded the greater good and are killing each other. My master is furious when he hears about this."

"Now that the instigators, Helian Quan and Chen Yunlong, are dead, Tianshan must choose a new leader. After careful consideration by my master, we have decided to select Song Xian from the Hunyuan Sect as the leader of Tianshan, responsible for all Tianshan affairs."

"I now order the remaining members of the Tianshan Sect to return to Tianshan and await orders. Accept the arrangements made by Daoist Fellow Song Xian. Those who disobey will be treated as rebels and will not be forgiven."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the hall was in an uproar, and the noisy chattering filled the air.

"Song Xian of Hunyuan Sect, why is it him?"

"He is from the Hunyuan Sect, how can he be our leader?"

"How can it be his turn?"

Everyone was whispering and discussing.

Modzhenhan was also standing there in surprise. He had thought that Xu Hao came here to convey Jiang Feng's intention, perhaps asking them to submit to Chen Yunlong and reconcile.

But I never expected that Song Xian would be the leader of Tianshan Sect. How could this be? How could Song Xian become the leader of Tianshan Sect?

Because Song Xian blocked the news and did not allow the monks stationed in Tianshan to enter or leave, no one knew that Chen Yunlong was dead.

It was not until this time that it was known that he was dead, but now no one cares how he died.

Compared to Chen Yunlong's death, everyone was more puzzled as to why Jiang Feng chose Song Xian as the leader of Tianshan.

"Quiet." Xu Hao frowned when he heard the chattering of the crowd.

The noise in the hall suddenly became much quieter. Everyone looked at him with confusion, and some looked at Mod Zhenhan, waiting for him to speak.

"Friend Xu. Since Song Xian is not a cultivator of our sect, what qualifications and abilities does he have to be the leader of our sect?" Modzhenhan naturally did not accept this decision and shouted loudly.

After all, Xu Hao is not Jiang Feng. He cannot suppress everyone as forcefully as Jiang Feng and crush anyone who dares to question him with one move.

"You were the ones who instigated the internal strife within the Tianshan Sect, and you are responsible for it. Since neither of you submits to the other, why not find an outsider to rule Tianshan? I am only here on the orders of my master. I give you three days. Those who wish to remain within the Tianshan sect should return immediately and await Fellow Daoist Song's instructions."

Xu Hao's face was solemn, his voice was as cold as a knife, and his sharp eyes swept over everyone.

"Those who do not wish to remain in Tianshan may leave. However, if you disobey my decision, defy my master's orders, and attempt to occupy Luofeng Valley in order to retake Tianshan, my master will send people to eliminate you and kill you without mercy."

Everyone was frightened when they heard this. Although they were still not convinced, no one dared to speak out in protest.

Xu Hao turned around and looked at Huang He and Lin Zixiang, and they understood.

Huang He spoke first: "Brothers, please listen to me. Senior Jiang Feng has made the decision to appoint Fellow Daoist Song Xian as the head of our sect. This is to prevent further internal strife within our sect."

"Master Song is a tolerant and generous person, respecting the wise and virtuous, and cherishing talent and virtue. All the brothers stationed in Tianshan have decided to follow him. Only Zhou Bo refused to obey his orders, and was killed on the spot by Senior Jiang."

"I advise all brothers not to go against Senior Jiang and sacrifice their lives in vain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Zixiang continued, "The headmaster has issued an order that no matter who returns to Tianshan and guarantees that their original position remains unchanged, their salary will be increased by 20% on the original basis."

Before anyone could reply, Xu Hao stood up. "Everyone has heard. I have conveyed Master's order. You can decide for yourself whether you wish to return to Tianshan or not! You only have three days."

After saying that, he ignored everyone else and went straight out.

.........

In the dim training room of the Ding family mansion, Ding Wenxiang was practicing with his eyes closed. There was a rapid knock on the door outside. He opened his eyes and opened the stone door.

Elder Ding Yuan was standing outside with a serious look on his face.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Ding Wenxiang saw his expression and knew that something big had happened.

"Master, I just received news that Tianshan has been occupied by the Hunyuan Sect."

"What do you mean?" Ding Wenxiang asked doubtfully.

It was already known that the Hunyuan Sect had joined forces with Chen Yunlong's men to capture Tianshan. It was also known that Song Xian had been staying in Tianshan for the past few days. So why did he suddenly mention the Hunyuan Sect occupying Tianshan? "It's said that Jiang Feng went to Tianshan and appointed Song Xian to be in charge of all Tianshan affairs."

"What?" Ding Wenxiang was shocked and could hardly believe his ears.

The Tianshan Sect has always been working for the Beast Taming Sect, and is equivalent to a dog raised by the Beast Taming Sect.

Why did Jiang Feng hand over Tianshan to the Hunyuan Sect, which had nothing to do with him?
"The news came from the cultivators of the Tianshan Sect stationed in Luofeng Valley. It is said that Jiang Feng not only appointed Song Xian as the head of the Tianshan Sect, but also demanded that the cultivators stationed in Luofeng Valley return to Tianshan to report on their duties, otherwise he would annihilate them."

Ding Yuan looked solemn. As the elder in charge of external affairs of the Ding family, he understood one thing very well.

There has never been a long-lasting good relationship between sects, only interests.

The relationship between the two sides changes with the situation.

Although the Hunyuan Sect had a very good relationship with the Ding family before, it was because the two families were in similar situations and had no conflict of interest.

Now the Hunyuan Sect is becoming more and more powerful, and has posed a subtle threat to the Ding family.

This is not a conflict between the two sides, but the situation has changed. When a stronger and more prosperous force appears next to one force, it is a threat in itself.

The Hunyuan Sect has developed rapidly in recent years, far surpassing the Ding family. Now it has annexed the Tianshan Sect, which is even more remarkable.

As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain. Once a giant force appears in Bianxia Town, it will inevitably pose a strong threat to the interests of other sects.

Not to mention anything else, just take the market town currently managed by the Ding family. As the Hunyuan Sect grows stronger, it is very likely to be squeezed out by it.

"Why did Jiang Feng do this?" Ding Wenxiang was confused, his mind in a mess.

"I don't know, but I can be sure that this is not accidental. It must have been premeditated." Ding Yuan frowned.

"From the abnormal behavior of the Hunyuan Sect actively participating in the Bianxia Town Alliance, to the internal strife in the Tianshan Sect, Song Xian helping Chen Yunlong to attack Tianshan, and now Jiang Feng stepping forward and appointing Song Xian as the leader of Tianshan, everything is strange."

Ding Wenxiang stared blankly outside and was silent for a long moment. "Immediately send someone to inform the leaders of all the alliance forces that I need to meet with them."

.........

In the main hall of Guzi Peak, Zhong Wenyuan was arranging for his disciples to migrate to Tianshan. As orders were issued one after another, everyone in Hunyuan Sect immediately became busy.

"Reporting to Elder Zhong, Ding Yuan, the elder of the Ding family, and Meng Xing, the second in command of Tianyu Trading Company, have arrived outside the mountain gate to request a meeting." A disciple quickly stepped inside and reported.

Zhong Wenyuan frowned slightly: "Ding Yuan and Meng Xing? Did they come together?"

"Yes."

"Please come in!" Zhong Wenyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, having guessed why they came.

The fact that Hunyuan Sect occupied Tianshan Mountain will certainly not be kept secret for too long. The many forces in Bianxia Town who have learned the news will definitely ask for the truth. There is no way to hide it.

Ding Yuan and Meng Xing, one is from a sect in Bianxia Town, and the other is from a separate cultivator force in Bianxia Town.

The two of them coming together hand in hand, what it means is self-evident.

Soon, the two arrived at the main hall.

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, I'm sorry to bother you."

"You're welcome, please take a seat, fellow Taoists."

After both parties exchanged greetings, they took their seats as instructed. Ding Yuan looked outside the hall and said, "I just came in and saw your sect's disciples busy, seemingly packing up. Could it be that your sect is planning to relocate?"

"To be honest with you two fellow Taoists, the vast majority of our sect's disciples will migrate to Tianshan." At this point, there was nothing to hide, so Zhong Wenyuan said truthfully.

The two exchanged glances, and Meng Xing spoke up, "We've heard rumors that your sect has annexed the Tianshan Sect and gained the support of Senior Jiang Feng of the Beastmaster Sect. It seems this is indeed true; even your sect's disciples are migrating to Tianshan."

"It's not an annexation. Senior Jiang simply asked our sect leader to serve as the head of the Tianshan Sect and help handle Tianshan affairs."

Ding Yuan took over the conversation, "I heard that Senior Jiang also ordered the cultivators stationed in Luofeng Valley to return to Tianshan and await instructions from Sect Master Song. This means that the territory under Luofeng Valley will also fall under your sect's control. I wonder what your sect plans to do with those resource-rich territories?"

"I haven't heard of this. Where did Fellow Daoist Ding hear about it?" The matter of Luofeng Valley has not been finalized yet, so Zhong Wenyuan will not give a clear answer.

"It was spread by the monks stationed in Luofeng Valley."

"Is this true? Our sect's headmaster is currently in Tianshan. I was unable to contact him in time, so I don't know about this matter."

Meng Xing was too lazy to beat around the bush with him. "Friend Zhong, your sect commanded the allied forces to attack Luofeng Valley, but Sect Leader Song secretly led his men to attack Tianshan, resulting in heavy casualties. Now Tianshan is occupied by your sect, and Luofeng Valley is about to fall into your hands. We have lost so many brothers and gained nothing, and have been a stepping stone for your sect in vain. Your sect must give us an explanation for this matter."

"Rest assured, my two fellow Daoists, our sect leader will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Friend Ding and I are here today as representatives of the leaders of the various factions in the coalition. Not just my own sect and the Ding family, but all the other sects want to speak face to face with Sect Leader Song. Therefore, we invite Sect Leader Song to come to the coalition in three days to discuss matters."

"Our sect leader is currently attending to important matters in Tianshan. Due to the unstable situation, it is inconvenient for him to go out. I'm afraid he can't join the coalition forces."

Ding Yuan's face was clearly displeased. "So, Sect Leader Song wants to draw a clear line between himself and the coalition forces and isn't going to give us any explanation."

"That is absolutely not the case. If you, fellow Daoists, insist that our sect attend, I can do so on behalf of the Sect Master. If you wish to speak with the Sect Master in person, you may condescend to visit Tianshan."
