My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 929 Change of Mind, Hidden Agent, Shift (Three Chapters Combined)

At this moment, Liu Zhenshan's heart was filled with...

It is incredibly complex.

From the very first time I saw Shen Changchuan,

Upon seeing that the other person, despite their young age, already possessed strength far exceeding their own, reaching a level they might never be able to attain in their entire lives,
At that moment, Liu Zhenshan couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness and injustice in the face of fate!
Why should I, who have diligently cultivated for decades to ensure the continuation of the Six Harmonies Sect, dare not relax even for a moment?

As a result, his martial arts realm remained stuck at the peak of the first-class level, and he could not make any progress for many years.

The other party is so young, he looks to be only ten years old, and he has probably been on the path of martial arts cultivation for less than ten years, yet he has already grown to this level and possesses such strength!

Thirty years of unwavering effort

The result was that Peng Zhiguang was about to merge with another faction, and it seemed that the Liuhe School's lineage was about to be cut off in his hands.
In contrast, Lu Changhe, who was only ten years old, was able to fight Lu Changhe head-on and possessed the strength of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, and became famous overnight!
In this world,
What an injustice!

But facts are facts.

Even if it's hard to accept in your heart

We have no choice but to accept this cruel reality.

Even under the "coercion" of the opponent's terrifying strength,
He had no choice but to treat the other party with utmost respect, regarding him as the master of the Six Harmonies Sect. He showed the other party everything, including the sect's inherited techniques and the direct lineage records passed down through generations, allowing him to browse them at will!
Although Liu Zhenshan could comfort himself in his heart

This is how ordinary people survive.

To survive, you have no choice but to kneel before the strong.

Or perhaps they use excuses like consoling themselves that only by surviving can they have the right to talk about the future.

But whatever the excuse is

One thing is undeniable—

That was all he did; he was kneeling on the ground, groveling and subservient.

They even sold off everything that had been passed down from their ancestors!

There was a moment when
Deep in Liu Zhenshan's heart,
And how could I not feel a single trace of shame?!
It was simply because of Shen Changchuan's terrifying strength.
He had no choice but to suppress the resentment in his heart, showing no sign of it on his face!

But at this moment,
Liu Zhenshan stood in the sect's square.
His gaze was fixed on the direction of the back mountain of his own sect.
Looking out at the distant mountaintop shrouded in dark clouds, it seemed as if the entire area was a vast celestial phenomenon excluded from the world.
Feeling that rising energy,

Like a primordial behemoth, a fierce and oppressive aura swept out like a tidal wave.

In his heart,

It was a huge relief!

The trace of resentment that had been hidden deep within his heart melted away as quickly as snow under the blazing sun.
Not a single bit remains!

"This child will surely grow into an unparalleled figure in the martial arts world!"

"It is the Six Harmonies Sect's good fortune to be associated with such a figure who will surely become a legend in the future!"

"What does a little bit of inheritance even amount to?"

"When he becomes a legend in the world one day, and the lineage of the Six Harmonies School has been witnessed by him, that would be a source of great honor."

A thought flashed through Liu Zhenshan's mind.
I felt completely relieved.

The previous inner turmoil completely vanished!
The reason behind this is...
It's actually very simple.

If someone is not too far removed from you and you can still see their back, it's perfectly normal to feel jealous of that person.

But if that person is vastly different from oneself...

When the distance is so vast that you can't even see the other person's back, jealousy becomes meaningless, and any jealousy or resentment that once arose naturally disappears.

This is exactly how Liu Zhenshan's inner changes occurred!

Initially,

Although Shen Changchuan became famous throughout the world for killing Lu Changhe, the nine-bag elder of the Beggars' Sect, in Sanjiang City, he possessed strength that Liu Zhenshan could only look up to.

However, Liu Zhenshan, as a top-tier expert, was only one step away from the realm of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!
At that time, he believed that if he could overcome that innate barrier, it would not be impossible for him to catch up with Shen Changchuan in strength in the future!

He felt that his strength was no match for Shen Changchuan's, but he could still see the other's back and felt that he had a chance to catch up.

However, until this moment,
Seeing the celestial phenomena caused by Shen Changchuan's breakthrough, and feeling the oppressive aura that rendered him utterly powerless to even muster the will to resist...
Liu Zhenshan then realized what was happening.
I was too presumptuous and arrogant before!

The initial thought was that "the gap isn't that big" and that "there might still be a chance to catch up."

They're just like a frog in a well seeing the sun and moon, arrogant and ignorant!

"Legend has it that when a supreme grandmaster attains enlightenment, heaven and earth will respond, resulting in unpredictable celestial phenomena!"

"Man follows the earth, the earth follows heaven, man and heaven interact, and all the changes in the world are just a thought away!"

"I originally thought those were just exaggerated rumors and legends in the martial arts world, but now it seems that there is no exaggeration at all!"

Liu Zhenshan's feelings at this moment were extremely complicated.

He didn't know what Shen Changchuan had obtained in the back mountain, or why such a commotion had occurred.

But one thing he was certain of was...

The other party's future,
He will surely become a legendary figure in the martial arts world!

That's a level that I could never hope to reach, even if I spent my whole life trying!

At the same time,

A sense of anticipation began to rise within him.

With that person's strength,
If the other party truly appreciates the favor of having given away the inheritance map, they might be able to lend a helping hand.

Then the troubles that I and the Six Harmonies Sect are facing can probably be easily solved by the other party!

Hopefully, that one will remember this past affection.

Liu Zhenshan couldn't help but pray silently in his heart.

At that time, almost everyone in the Six Harmonies Sect, from the sect leader and elders to the disciples and their children, was focusing their attention on the changes in the sky above the back mountain.

Within the Six Harmonies Sect,

In a dark corner where no one notices,

Two furtive figures whispered to each other, exchanging information in hushed tones.

A short while later, one of the short, thin figures darted out through the dog hole in the wall like a nimble monkey.

He chose a secluded and rugged mountain path to quickly descend the mountain.
Half an hour later,
Unbeknownst to everyone, they arrived at a thatched hut built some distance down the mountain to settle down.

This place is quite far from the Liuhe Sect's mountain gate.
Looking up at the mountain, the gate of the Liuhe Sect was now only the size of a sesame seed.

The short, thin man took out a short flute from his pocket and blew out a strange, short, and low whistle.

Soon,
A small bird, about the size of a fist, entirely white, resembling both a carrier pigeon and a falcon, flew in from nowhere, flapped a few times, and then swooped down like an arrow, landing on his shoulder.

The short, thin man took out a small bamboo tube. A piece of paper recording the events that happened within the Six Harmonies Sect that day was rolled up to the size of a chopstick and stuffed into the bamboo tube. He then closed the bamboo tube and finally tied it to the bird's claw.

After doing all this, he patted the bird's wings.

The small bird, resembling both a hawk and a carrier pigeon, took flight, soaring into the sky like an arrow, and vanished into the heavens in an instant.

The little bird flew three or four hundred miles away.
Finally, they landed in the central hall of a cluster of buildings nestled among towering mountains.

Above the entrance to the main hall hangs a large, boldly written sign that reads "Chongyang School".

Inside the spacious hall,
At this moment, a burly, square-faced middle-aged man, who was sitting on the head seat like a dragon coiled and a tiger crouching, suddenly looked up and gazed in the direction of the main hall entrance.

The bird flew in quickly.

It fell into the hands of a middle-aged man with a square face.

"Urgent message! What happened?"

A thought flashed through the mind of the square-faced middle-aged man.
However, his usual composure meant that his expression didn't change much.

He quickly removed the bamboo tube from the bird's claws and opened the letter inside.

A sharp, knife-like gaze swept quickly across the paper.
next moment,
His expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"Humph!"

The square-faced middle-aged man snorted coldly.
In an instant, it was as if muffled thunder had exploded throughout the entire hall!

Simultaneously,

A chilling killing intent instantly spread, causing the temperature of the surrounding air to drop rapidly.

At that moment, everyone else in the hall also felt as if their hearts were being gripped and squeezed by an invisible hand!

"Sect Leader, what has happened?"

Within the main hall,

The people who were talking below were startled and looked at each other in surprise. Finally, someone couldn't help but ask a question.

The burly, square-faced middle-aged man at the head of the table was none other than Peng Zhiguang, the leader of the Chongyang Sect and a rare master in the entire martial arts world!

At this moment, Peng Zhiguang's face was extremely ugly, so dark that it looked like water could be wrung out of it.

Such a posture,
This was extremely rare for the elders and deacons of the Chongyang Sect below!
Over the past twenty years, under his leadership, the Chongyang faction has flourished, and almost every plan he has undertaken has been successful!
Also because of this,

In recent years, Peng Zhiguang's face has been filled with a confident and composed demeanor, and his eyes exude an aura of domineering authority, as if he has everything under control!
Such a dramatic change in complexion is extremely rare.

Each and every one of these events was a major event that could significantly impact the martial arts world!

Could it be that some huge change has occurred again?
Many people had mixed feelings.

"It's nothing serious."

"It's just that some people are unwilling to accept defeat, clinging to unrealistic hopes and struggling desperately, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Peng Zhiguang snorted coldly, his eyes filled with indifference and his words full of sarcasm.

The message inside the bamboo tube was simple; it was a message from his mole within the Six Harmonies Sect, saying that something had happened in the Six Harmonies Sect, and that someone was suspected of breaking through to the Innate Grandmaster level.

This was a very brief urgent message, with no further details.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

After all, even a bird can't carry too much information, so we can only briefly mention the most urgent situations.

As for more detailed information, we can only wait for it to come from other channels later.

It is precisely because of this,
Peng Zhiguang was unaware that all of this was because of Shen Changchuan.

However, it's worth noting that Shen Changchuan's ascent to the mountain was only known to the higher-ups of the Six Harmonies Sect; other disciples were unaware of such high-level secrets. Although Peng Zhiguang had put considerable effort into planting spies within the Six Harmonies Sect...
However, in just over ten years, those undercover agents have not yet reached high positions, and Liu Zhenshan, as the leader of the Six Harmonies Sect, strongly opposes the merger of sects.

They are extremely wary of anything related to the Chongyang School.

Therefore, although Peng Zhiguang's spies saw the changes in the celestial phenomena behind the Six Harmonies Sect, they were unable to understand the inside story in a short period of time.

Sending this short message is already the result of their best efforts!
Therefore, Peng Zhiguang was naturally unaware of this.

The root cause of all these changes was the actions of Shen Changchuan, who had recently become famous throughout the land.

just,

So what if we don't know the specific details?!
There was a matter at the Six Harmonies Sect that someone attempted to break through to the Innate Realm.

That was enough to touch his sore spot!

"Ten years have passed since I proposed merging the factions at the Five Factions Alliance meeting."

"Over the past ten years, through my various methods, the other four major sects that originally opposed the merger, the Cangwu Sect and the Yuquan Sect, have completely sided with us. As for the remaining Luoxia Sect, its leader is not a person of firm character. His stance is wavering and he is good at playing both sides. As long as we put more pressure on him, we can naturally force him to side with us."

"Only the Six Harmonies Sect, despite its weak strength, is like a rock in a latrine—stinky and hard—resolutely determined to oppose me, openly opposing and seizing power."

"I have considered that some of my methods over the years have been somewhat aggressive and have aroused some controversy in the martial arts world. In order to avoid a bigger storm, I have temporarily suspended my actions against the Six Harmonies Sect."

"Let's keep Liuzhen Mountain for now, so that outsiders can see that there are also dissenting voices among our five factions. The five-faction alliance is not just a one-man show by our Chongyang faction. Let's demonstrate fairness to outsiders!"

Peng Zhiguang slowly stood up from the head seat, speaking slowly and deliberately, word by word.

His imposing figure was like a black tower, blocking out the light and casting large shadows!
At this moment, all the light in the entire hall seemed to dim!
He slowly walked down from the high place.

Each step down the stairs
Then a dull footstep sounded.

at the same time,

His majestic and resounding words echoed throughout the vast hall.

A pressure as heavy as a mountain,

It also enveloped the shoulders of everyone present!

The immense pressure caused everyone present to involuntarily bend over slightly.

He lowered his gaze.
It was as if we were welcoming the emperor down from his throne!

"I guess I was kind-hearted and gave them a chance to survive."

“If they were more obedient, I might be able to let him live a few more years.”

"But now, he's actually thinking of rebelling against me?!"

Peng Zhiguang's voice suddenly grew louder, and the domineering light in his eyes, which was almost suffocating, shone in the dim hall, suppressing everything in his sight!
His voice still seemed calm.

But everyone present knew very well that

In fact, the sect leader's anger had reached its peak at this moment!

Driven by this anger,
Someone has to pay the price!

This left Peng Zhiguang no choice but to be furious!
The opposition of the Six Harmonies to the unification of the five factions was carried out within the limits he permitted.

The merger of the five factions is a major event. Even if it's just for show, it's important to let people in the martial arts world see that there are dissenting voices. Otherwise, the reputation of the Chongyang faction in the martial arts world will probably plummet.

And in this process,
Without a Grandmaster-level expert to oversee it, and with its current strength ranking last among the five major sects, the Six Harmonies Sect undoubtedly became the best banner for opposing voices to be brought to the forefront!
Yes,

The reason why the Liuhe School has persisted to this day is...

That's because it was deliberately kept under wraps by Peng Zhiguang!
Because the Six Harmonies Sect has no innate grandmasters, and the lineage of innate grandmasters in its sect has been broken for twenty years, its strength is weak enough.

With the strength of the Chongyang Sect, they could easily control the Liuhe Sect.

Even if something unexpected happens,
With the Chongyang Sect's current strength of having three Innate Realm experts, they can easily suppress it and bring things back to their original course.

Therefore,
From the beginning,
Peng Zhiguang was very lenient towards the Liuhe faction.

Allow the other side to clearly express their opposition at the Five Factions Alliance meeting.

because,

Peng Zhiguang viewed Liu Zhenshan, the leader of the Liuhe Sect, with the same detached attitude one would show to a fat pig on a chopping board.
He believed that no matter how much the other party acted, they could never escape his grasp.

But now,
News has spread that someone from the Six Harmonies Sect may have broken through to the Innate Grandmaster level.

It was undoubtedly a hard slap in the face!

Liu Zhenshan, who thought he had everything under control, was far from being honest. He had been secretly plotting a rebellion, and his plan might actually succeed!
Without his knowledge, he had secretly nurtured someone capable of breaking through to the Innate Realm!
As for that person who was aiming to become a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm...

Peng Zhiguang had not received any news at all!
How could Peng Zhiguang, who felt he had everything under control, not be furious?!

Fooling me!

This is blatant fooling!

Liu Zhenshan feigned weakness to make himself seem insignificant.
But in reality, they deceived others and fooled themselves!
It was like slapping him hard across the face!

How could Peng Zhiguang, who had such a high opinion of himself, possibly accept this!

Does a sect have any innate grandmasters?

That's a completely different situation!
If the Six Harmonies Sect did not have a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm to oversee it, the Chongyang Sect could easily crush it. No matter how much it jumped, it could not escape the Buddha's grasp.

But if it has a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, then the situation is completely different!

There is a newly promoted Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

The leader of the Luoxia Sect might see a glimmer of hope and thus jump back into the camp opposing the Chongyang Sect!

Simultaneously,

It might even trigger a chain reaction.
This could cause the current leaders of the Cangwu and Yuquan sects to have other ideas!

After ten years of hard work,

After countless conspiracies and schemes, and with the merger of the five major factions imminent,

As a result, now,

However, signs have emerged that many efforts could be in vain!

In any case,
Peng Zhiguang could not accept this either!
"The weak should have the awareness of being weak!"

"I meant well, hoping they could pass on their skills for a few more years. If they cooperated, I might even be able to reserve a place for Liu Zhenshan in the newly established sect after the merger!"

"But now it seems I was wrong! Utterly wrong!"

"Some people always like to push their luck, their greed is insatiable!"

"They mistook my kindness for weakness, and thus became insatiably greedy!"

Peng Zhiguang's voice gradually turned chilling.

The murderous intent in his words
At this moment, there was no attempt to conceal it; it swept in all directions like a tidal wave!

The temperature in the entire hall dropped drastically at that moment!

The Chongyang Sect members below,

I felt the air around me was freezing cold!

no doubt,

At this moment, Peng Zhiguang had completely and undisguised murderous intent towards the Liuhe Faction!
"Since Liu Zhenshan insists on courting death, then I'll grant his wish!"

"Pass down the order: the plan for three years from now will proceed ahead of schedule!"

"Furthermore, gather all those forces hidden in the shadows and find any excuse to kill the disciples of the Six Harmonies Sect!"

"Reassure them that if Liu Zhenshan has indeed secretly cultivated a Xiantian (a high-level innate talent), I will personally take action to eliminate him!"

"I will make sure they are wiped out, not even a chicken or a dog!"

Right now,

In response to the changes that have occurred in the Six Harmonies faction,
Feeling deceived, Peng Zhiguang had already abandoned all his reservations.

The decision was made to eliminate it completely using the most ruthless methods.
This will serve as a warning to the other three major factions!

"I obey the sect leader's order!"

The elders and deacons of the Chongyang Sect inside the main hall exchanged glances and bowed to Peng Zhiguang in response.

"I knew it! It should have been done a long time ago!"

"As the saying goes, the victor is king and the loser is villain. So what if we suffer some criticism in the process? As long as we are the final victors, then great scholars will surely defend us in the future!"

Among the crowd, an elder dressed as an old scholar, with a ruddy complexion, spoke with some excitement.

Actually, he had made suggestions a long time ago.

With the strength of the Chongyang Sect, which has three Innate Realm experts, it is enough to crush and destroy all the resistance forces of the other four major sects with its overwhelming power and forcibly merge them into the sect!
Unfortunately, Peng Zhiguang was concerned about the reputation of the Chongyang School in the martial arts world and did not adopt his suggestion.

nowadays,
Peng Zhiguang completely changed his mind.
It doesn't matter if they're just putting on a show; the great undertaking of merging the five factions is just around the corner!
How could he not be excited!

"Indeed!"

"If it weren't for our Chongyang Sect holding the line, how could they have withstood the Sun and Moon Demonic Sect?"

"Having enjoyed the protection of our Chongyang Sect for so many years, it is only natural and legitimate to ask them to become one of us!"

"It's just a matter of merging their factions; it's not like we're forcing them to give up their heritage."

The elders and deacons present all wore expressions of joy and excitement.

Every eye shone brightly.

We can already see the Chongyang School about to achieve tremendous success and glory!

And they,
They will all become revered ancestors of the restoration, and their great achievements will be recorded in the ancestral hall, thus making them famous for future generations!
How could they not be excited?!

Seeing this scene
Even the usually stern Peng Guangzhi couldn't help but smile slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

The army's morale is good!

"Alright, the decision has been made, let's begin!"

"I want the Six Harmonies Sect to cease to exist in this world within a month!"

Peng Zhiguang waved his hand,
This stopped the discussion.

Then, the final judgment against the Six Harmonies Faction was handed down to the world!
