Wuxia: Ning Zhongze, who became a disciple of Mount Hua, is shrouded in blue silver.

Tianmen Daoren is an opportunist.

Upon hearing Zhao Qing's name, his tone immediately softened, and he cupped his hands in greeting, asking, "Why do you say that, Junior Nephew Zhao?"

According to seniority, he should indeed address Zhao Qing as his junior apprentice.

However, his previous attitude made Zhao Qing very unhappy, so Zhao Qing simply turned away and ignored him.

After being reprimanded by Zhao Qing and then subjected to such rude treatment, Tianmen Daoist felt extremely humiliated.

But he had no choice.

Zhao Qing was highly skilled in martial arts; he couldn't defeat him.

So he could only manage a forced smile and say it.

"Sect Leader Yue is indeed a renowned gentleman swordsman; his disciples are all outstanding, each one stronger than the last."

Yue Buqun laughed and said, "My disciples are all very capable, but they all have terrible tempers. I'm sorry you had to laugh at me."

Tianmen Daoist snorted coldly, ignoring Yue Buqun, and turned to Yujizi.

"Uncle-Master, do you think I have ulterior motives?"

Yu Jizi sneered and retorted, "Isn't that so?"

Tianmen Daoist realized that everyone was looking at him, putting him in an awkward position.

He pulled a black iron sword from his robes and shouted, "I'm not going to be the sect leader anymore! You can be the leader if you want!"

Yu Jizi took a step back and asked, "Are you really willing to give up?"

The Taoist Master Tianmen said solemnly, "There's nothing I'm unwilling about."

Yu Jizi said directly, "Since that's the case, give it to me!"

After saying that, Yu Jizi stepped forward and grabbed the short sword.

Tianmen Daoist never expected that Yujizi would actually draw his sword.

He drew his sword merely as a pretense, because he was certain that Yu Jizi would not make a move.

Now that Yu Jizi has actually made a move, Tianmen Daoist was stunned on the spot.

Before he could react, Yu Jizi snatched the iron sword from his hand.

Tianmen Daoist immediately flew into a rage and instinctively drew his long sword from his waist, but Yu Jizi had already retreated and dodged.

Two green figures flew out, and two old Taoists with swords stood in front of Tianmen Taoist, shouting in unison.

"Tianmen, what are you trying to do? Are you planning a rebellion? Have you forgotten the sect rules?"

When Tianmen Daoist recognized his two senior uncles, Yuqingzi and Yuyinzi, he trembled with anger and roared.

"My two senior uncles, you both saw what Senior Uncle Yuji just did!"

Yu Yinzi immediately said, "We did see it. You have already passed the leadership to Senior Brother Yu Ji, voluntarily stepping down. This is a very wise move!"

Yu Qingzi said, "Senior Brother Yu Ji is your senior uncle, and now he is also the sect leader."

"Your disrespectful use of a sword is a capital offense of betraying your master and ancestors, and committing treason."

When Tianmen Daoist saw that his two senior uncles were unreasonably biased towards Yujizi and instead blamed him, he realized that they were wrongly favoring Yujizi.

Enraged, he roared, "I spoke in anger, and the position of sect leader cannot be passed on so easily!"

"Even if I were to give it to someone else, I would never pass it on to Yu Ji!"

In his fury, Tianmen Daoist completely disregarded his manners and swore profusely.

Yu Yinzi immediately seized the opportunity and shouted sternly, "Think about it yourself, are you even worthy of being the sect leader?!"

Seeing that Tianmen Daoist had been tricked and was driven mad with anger, Yang said with schadenfreude.

"See? I told you that old Taoist priest was stupid and didn't know any better!"

He deliberately raised his voice to mock Tianmen Daoist, and everyone present heard it.

Feeling that things had come to this point, Zhao Qing fanned the flames: "The Heavenly Gate Taoist is unworthy of his position and must abdicate in favor of a more worthy successor!"

After Zhao Qing took the lead, the disciples of the Taishan Sect followed suit, shouting, "The Heavenly Gate Taoist is unworthy of his position and must abdicate in favor of a more worthy successor!"

They shouted repeatedly.

These disciples had actually been secretly colluding with Yu Jizi and others.

Other spectators also agreed with Zhao Qing, believing that Tianmen Daoist was indeed incompetent.

"The Taoist of Tianmen is unworthy of his position and should step down."

Those who thrive on chaos incite the crowd, and everyone becomes agitated, shouting in unison.

Tianmen Daoist immediately became the target of everyone's attacks.

"Return the ancestral iron sword!"

Tianmen Daoist was completely bewildered and anxious.

He must reclaim the iron sword to deal with the current situation.

Tianmen Daoist lunged at Yujizi, but the Taishan Sect members immediately stopped him from seizing the sword.

Yu Yinzi and the others immediately engaged in a fierce battle with Tianmen Daoist.

This was Zuo Lengchan's meticulously planned scheme.

Tianmen Daoist fell into a trap; his skills were inferior to the opponent's.

The Taoist of Tianmen was highly skilled in martial arts; even the combined forces of the elders of the Taishan Sect could not defeat him.

With the help of Yu Jizi and others, and the intervention of outsiders, they joined forces to kill Tianmen Daoren.

After the murder, they continued to denigrate the reputation of Tianmen Daoren.

To accuse Tianmen Daoren of being untrustworthy is the behavior of a petty person.

The Taoist priest of Tianmen is dead and cannot defend himself.

That's how they portrayed Tianmen Daoren as a villain.

Zuo Lengchan then spoke, "Brother Yuji, congratulations on taking over as the leader of the Taishan Sect."

What are your thoughts on the merger of the Five Mountains Sword Sects?

Yu Jizi, holding the ancestral iron sword, spoke with great pride.

"The merger of the Five Mountains Sword Sects will benefit all of us and will not cause any harm."

"Only a selfish person like the Heavenly Gate Taoist, who craves empty fame and clings to power, would disagree with the merger."

"Leader Zuo, I am the head of the Mount Tai Sect. This time, the five sects are merging, and my sect will provide full support."

"The Mount Tai Sect is willing to follow the Alliance Leader and together expand the influence of the Five Sacred Mountains Sect."

"If anyone dares to obstruct us, the Mount Tai Sect will be the first to severely punish them, and we will never let them go."

Everyone present could see that Yu Jizi and Zuo Lengchan were in cahoots.

As soon as the words were spoken, more than a hundred disciples of the Mount Tai Sect shouted in unison, "The entire Mount Tai Sect supports the merger!"

"Those who oppose us, we will fight to the end and never compromise!"
