"You're transported to another world at the same time? What the hell is King Arthur?"

Zhang Tian felt that another version of himself was playing a grand game, but he was too lazy to care at the moment because he was constantly receiving a lot of information shared by the other side.

This is groundbreaking and invaluable scientific data; you absolutely cannot misremember any step, otherwise, problems may arise.

In his time.

Even if you spend a lot of money, you can't buy a college student who will be commonplace in later generations.

This is the difference between eras!

Zhang Tian focused on the gold and silver mine distribution maps, since these were the fastest ways to make money, practically risk-free ventures, which would give him the confidence to quickly take control of Hengshan and continuously recruit top experts.

It's important to understand that in the world of martial arts, it takes at least twenty or thirty years of effort to cultivate a master who can stand alone.

He can't wait that long.

So they chose to just throw money at it, because that would be more effective!

"At that point, we might even be able to take advantage of the imperial palace. There are so many eunuchs there; every year, some can't make it..."

"They're all talented individuals who have mastered the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual!"

As for loyalty?

The president of the neighboring country, Korea, has proven with facts that as long as money is given, loyalty is limitless; six blows per second is merely the limit of human capability.

But if you don't have enough money, and you just talk about making sacrifices and expect people to work themselves to the bone? That's just ridiculous!

Zhang Tian quickly found several locations.

With current mining technology, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity, truly priceless.

"A windfall!"

Zhang Tian opened his eyes and saw Mo Da gazing at the moon in the distance, his back looking desolate, clearly deep in thought.

He thought for a moment, then went over and called out, "Master, I've rested enough. Do we still need to travel tonight?"

Mo Da came to his senses.

Then he shook his head.

His words carried a hint of melancholy, "My disciple, you have been cultivating under my tutelage for nearly three years. Do you know how many generations my Hengshan sect has passed down to?"

"This disciple does not know."

In fact, Zhang Tian knew perfectly well that among the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, the Hengshan Sect was the oldest, having existed since the Northern Song Dynasty.

Unfortunately, he was extremely unlucky and within a few years he encountered Qiu Qianren, the number one person below the Five Greats, who almost wiped out the entire Hengshan Sect by himself.

So much so that they had to hide everywhere.

on one's last legs.

After Qiu Qianren died, the remaining people mustered their courage to return, became much more cautious, and the lineage continued for more than a dozen generations.

However, for some reason, almost every leader of these dozen or so generations has had bad luck, unable to draw any good cards.

Look at the neighboring Mount Hua, it has produced famous figures in every generation. The generation before that produced the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect. Although the two fought each other, they were still the leaders of the five sects.

The previous generation produced Feng Qingyang, who can be called a grandmaster. His swordsmanship was extraordinary, and he was unmatched in the world with his Dugu Nine Swords.

This generation of Yue Buqun is a bit lacking.

However, they were quite lucky in choosing disciples. Although Linghu Chong's character wasn't great, his martial arts talent was undeniable. Even without the Star Absorbing Technique, with just the Dugu Nine Swords, he would surely become one of the world's top masters in the future.

There was Zuo Lengchan at Mount Song.

Hengshan is a nun who mainly practices Buddhist chanting.

Mount Tai may seem daunting, but it has also produced masters of unparalleled skill, such as the legendary Tai Zongfu. It's likely that some top-tier experts have emerged from there as well.

You could visit Hengshan.

The strongest one that has been passed down to date is the Thirteen Forms of Hengshan Clouds and Mist, which can only be considered a decent first-class sword technique, far from reaching the level of Dugu Nine Swords or Evil-Repelling Swordplay.

Of all the leaders of Hengshan Sect throughout history, apart from Master Mo Da who was somewhat famous, the rest were all mediocre, and the younger generation has not produced a single one with fame or ability.

Oh no.

There's also the Crimson Flame Demon Mo Xiaobei!

If she is indeed a descendant of the Great One, then the Demonic Sect has nothing to do with her.

A thought flashed through Zhang Tian's mind. He probably also thought of Mo Da's melancholy. It must be that he was afraid to go home. As the head of Hengshan Sect, he had not only failed to bring glory to Hengshan, but he also dared not go back to his home. This time when he went back, he would probably face a bloody storm.

Do I feel ashamed to face the leaders of the past?

really.

Just as Zhang Tian had guessed.

Master Mo sighed, then explained the reason, "I have had you practice the Thirteen Forms of Cloud and Mist all the way, giving you a lot of guidance, and you have hardly had any rest, all so that you can have more power to protect yourself."

"My second junior brother Lu has been timid and cowardly since he was a child. He has long been afraid of Songshan. In fact, he has been secretly colluding with them all these years, probably thinking that the position of sect leader is his own."

"If you knew that I had taken you as my disciple."

"If Zuo Lengchan knew that I had taken you as my disciple..."

"I wonder what other tricks they're going to use behind the scenes."

"I'll take your life!"

Master Mo had several disciples before, but they all died in various accidents due to conflicts in the martial arts world. In addition, he was forced by Mount Song to stop taking on disciples.

Liu Zhengfeng has already left with his disciples and established his own business.

Therefore, Hengshan was managed by Lu Lianrong.

The other party has developed a mentality of wanting to take over the family business. They have already regarded the foundation of Hengshan and the position of the leader of Hengshan as their own. How can they tolerate a junior taking away the meat in their bowl?

Zuo Lengchan could not tolerate that either.

As the saying goes, the world is a dangerous place, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

Master Mo was worried that Zhang Tian was too young and might easily fall victim to a scheme by the martial arts world.

But if he doesn't return to Hengshan and inherit the legacy left by his ancestors, how easy would it be to start from scratch?

That's why he hesitated so much under the moonlight.

Zhang Tian pondered for a moment and decided to talk to Mo Duo about his future plans, since they were master and disciple, and were natural partners.

He asked, "Was Uncle-Master Lu born with a heart set on Mount Song?"

"No, it's just that we're wary of the other side's power."

"If Mount Heng is attacked by Mount Song in the future, and Mount Hua, Mount Hengshan, Mount Tai, and others come to its aid, how many people would be needed to hold it off?"

He was extremely confident, saying, "We only need five or six more top-notch players to help us."

After all, he and Liu Zhengfeng were not pushovers, and besides, Mount Song was far from this place, so it was impossible for them to send out their entire force.

Hengshan is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In addition, the school has been established for hundreds of years.

Many disciples are scattered elsewhere.

They let outsiders get wiped out on their own turf.

That would be ridiculous.

This is also why Zuo Lengchan went to great lengths to win over and divide the various sects. If any two of the other four sects formed a united front, he would be helpless against them.

"If I were to recruit dozens of top-tier masters and hundreds of second-tier experts for Hengshan in the future, would that alleviate Master's worries?"

I was greatly alarmed.

You have to understand that experts aren't something you can just recruit on a whim, and each one is a money-devouring beast. Even if you recruited them, you couldn't afford to support them!

Before he could ask, Zhang Tian smiled mysteriously and brought up a matter: "Master, you've been traveling the martial world for so many years, you must have often heard storytellers mention that when the founding emperor established the Ming Dynasty, he encountered a man as wealthy as Shen Wansan! Do you remember what he possessed?"

treasure bowl?

Isn't that fake?

While Mo Da was still in a daze, he heard Zhang Tian reveal a "secret" from back then: the so-called treasure basin was just a treasure map for finding auspicious burial sites, which recorded three mineral veins that a master of vein finding spent his whole life searching for, and which were the ancestors of the Zhang family.

Shen Wansan only opened one section.

He became the richest man in the world and directly funded the righteous army to conquer the world.

There are still two mineral veins left on that map!

Zhang Tian smiled mysteriously, "Whether we find these things or not, we'll know once we send someone to dig. If we do find them... we have two Shen Wansans in Hengshan..."

I was utterly shocked.

They almost ripped his beard off!

Good heavens!

After thirteen generations of our Hengshan lineage, have we finally encountered a pillar of strength capable of defying fate?
