The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

This Five Mountains Alliance Conference appears to be an election for the next leader, but in reality it is a united front of the four factions to resist the Songshan faction's attempt to annex them.

The leaders of the four sects were all aware of this.

Therefore, whether it's Mount Hua or Mount Tai, which are closest to Mount Song, or Mount Heng or Mount Hengshan, I don't want to arrive too early.

Yue Buqun dawdled along the way, visiting one place after another, and it wasn't until May 29th that he finally arrived at Mount Song. Tianmen Daoist's journey was about the same, and their goal was to unite the four factions and go to Mount Song together.

"I have thought it through."

Tianmen Daoist said, "All members of my Taishan Sect are present at this Five Mountains Alliance Leaders Conference, and we will settle accounts with Zuo Lengchan in two days."

"This humble Taoist and the Taishan Sect never intended to leave alive. Since Zuo Lengchan is so eager to annex my Taishan Sect, then let us risk the lives of hundreds of people on Mount Song."

Chapter 352: The Eve of the Storm

The words of the Taoist Tianmen carried a sense of desperation and a willingness to fight to the death.

The other Taishan sect Taoists also looked resolute.

"Brother Dao, you..."

Upon hearing Tianmen Daoist's words, Yue Buqun immediately wanted to offer some advice, but Tianmen Daoist reached out and stopped him from saying anything further.

"Sect Leader Yue, there's no need to persuade me any further."

Seemingly knowing what Yue Buqun wanted to say, Tianmen Daoist had no intention of listening.

"Zuo Lengchan killed my disciples and instigated Yu Jizi and others to seize power, causing my Taishan Sect to split and my disciples to suffer heavy casualties. This enmity can only be resolved with blood."

Tianmen Daoist's expression was calm, but Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun could clearly see the anger in his eyes.

"Sect Leader Yue."

After saying that, Tianmen Daoist looked at Yue Buqun again.

"My disciples and I have already made plans. When the Five Mountains Alliance Leaders Conference is held, I will personally tear off Zuo Lengchan's disguise in front of everyone in the martial arts world and break off our relationship."

Yue Buqun showed no reaction upon hearing Tianmen Daoren's plan.

That's what he was thinking too.

Zuo Lengchan's previous proposal to merge factions failed, and he will definitely make a big move later. Perhaps Zuo Lengchan will take advantage of this conference to merge factions again. Why don't they confront Zuo Lengchan in front of all the major martial arts factions and people in the Jianghu, and expose his shameful deeds to the public, so as to completely eliminate Zuo Lengchan's desire to merge factions?

Upon hearing Yue Buqun's plan, Tianmen Daoist shook his head.

"Sect Leader Yue, Zuo Lengchan is a treacherous and cunning man. He secretly sent people to do these things. He will definitely deny it to the death, and some fellow martial artists may not believe it."

Yue Buqun's expression remained noncommittal.

He knew this too. Zuo Lengchan did all these things in private. If they were brought out into the open, Zuo Lengchan would definitely not admit it. In the end, it would just be a dispute.

However, that was enough. Yue Buqun had only two purposes for attending the Five Mountains Alliance Conference: first, to take back the position of alliance leader from Zuo Lengchan; and second, for the four factions to unite against Songshan, to confront Zuo Lengchan completely, and to make their stance clear to him.

As a result, Zuo Lengchan would no longer dare to take drastic measures against the four factions at will.

For Yue Buqun, this was the safest approach, as it would not cause too much of a shock to the Huashan Sect and the other three sects.

After all, the Five Mountains Sword Sect still has an external enemy.

The evil cult is still eyeing them covetously.

"not enough."

Taoist Tianmen shook his head, clearly dissatisfied with the result.

"So, what do you mean, fellow Daoist?"

Yue Buqun asked.

The Taoist of Tianmen said coldly, "A blood debt must be repaid in blood."

These seven words encapsulate his attitude.

Yue Buqun was startled.

"What are your plans, fellow Daoist?"

Upon hearing his words, Tianmen Daoist did not answer immediately, but began to analyze.

"Zuo Lengchan has great ambitions. His goal may not only be to annex the Five Mountains Sword Sects, but also to command the righteous path of the martial arts world."

Tianmen Daoist analyzed it word by word.

Yue Buqun nodded in agreement with his analysis.

“A person like this is a scourge to the righteous path, and will surely endanger other righteous sects in the future. I am prepared to fight Zuo Lengchan to the death at the Alliance Leader Conference, even if I am no match for him and die on the stage.”

Tianmen Daoist's plan was simple: expose Zuo Lengchan's conspiracy and ambition at the Alliance Leader Conference, and then fight Zuo Lengchan to the death. Even if he couldn't win, he would still fight to the death of the Taishan Sect on Mount Song.

"..."

Upon hearing Tianmen Daoist's plan, Yue Buqun remained silent for a long time.

Is Tianmen Daoist going to fight to the death?

Since returning to Mount Tai, Tianmen Daoist has dreamed about that day every time, in which his disciples risked their lives to protect him, wanting him to leave first.

He would dream of the expressions on his disciples' faces as they died every night.

The pain of his disciple's tragic death and his hatred for Zuo Lengchan nearly drove him mad.

The blood vessels in Tianmen Daoist's veins turned red, and his expression became somewhat ferocious.

Why did it come to this?

Yue Buqun asked.

The Heavenly Gate Taoist's fierce spirit left Yue Buqun speechless.

“Brother Dao, we have other better ways, why go to such lengths? It’s not that our four sects can’t resist Zuo Lengchan and the Songshan Sect if we unite. Besides, Master Fangzheng and Daoist Chongxu won’t just watch Zuo Lengchan’s conspiracy succeed.”

For Yue Buqun now, there are many ways to deal with Zuo Lengchan's annexation of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. Whether it is a four-sect alliance or requesting external assistance, they can do it. Not to mention, the Emei Sect will definitely help. There is no need to go to such lengths. Even if the Songshan Sect really collapses, then his own sect will also be gone.

Tianmen Daoist remained calm, but he was not swayed by Yue Buqun.

He knew there were better solutions, but he chose the most drastic one.

There is no other reason.

He couldn't stand it.

He couldn't stand Zuo Lengchan's repeated provocations, so he wanted to show Zuo Lengchan that even honest people can lose their temper, and he wanted to make Zuo Lengchan pay an unbearable price.

"Brother Dao, are you no longer thinking about it?"

Yue Buqun's expression was somewhat serious.

He felt that Tianmen Daoist's idea was normal, but he still wanted to try to persuade him further.

"I have no way out."

Tianmen Daoist smiled at this moment.

Zhongzhen's four bodyguards died on Mount Tai, and none of the dozens of martial arts figures who went there returned alive. Zuo Lengchan will definitely make trouble for him then.

Tianmen Daoist was well aware of this, so this time he was participating in the Five Mountains Alliance Conference with the mindset of fighting to the death.

The heads of those four bodyguards in Zhongzhen were a testament to his resolve.

Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun looked at each other in bewilderment.

……

Mount Song.

Shengguan Peak.

The main hall of the Songshan School.

"How are the preparations going?"

Zuo Lengchan sat in the head seat and looked at the people below, asking them questions.

"Senior brother, everything is ready. We just need to wait for the conference to start in a few days."

One of the bodyguards spoke up.

Zuo Lengchan nodded and said nothing more.

He delegated these trivial matters to his junior brothers and didn't interfere much.

Zuo Lengchan then brought up another matter and looked at another person.

Where are the other four factions?

Tang Ying'e cupped his hands and said, "Senior brother, the Huashan Sect and the Taishan Sect are already in a small town not far from the foot of Mount Song. There is still no news about the Hengshan Sect and the Hengshan Sect."

Zuo Lengchan's face remained expressionless when the Huashan Sect was mentioned, but he frowned slightly when the Taishan Sect was mentioned.

"Sect Leader, Senior Brother."

At this moment, another person stepped forward, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Senior Brother Zhong and the others died on Mount Tai, killed by Tianmen. We cannot let this grudge go unavenged. When Tianmen goes up Mount Song, we will definitely settle this score with him!"

The bodyguard's face was extremely cold, and not only him, but the other bodyguards also looked furious.

Zuo Lengchan remained silent.

Several months ago, he sent Zhong Zhen and others to Mount Tai, but they never returned and were never heard from again. After investigation, it was discovered that they had all died on Mount Tai, including more than a hundred disciples. This shocked and enraged him.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, Tianmen's visit to Mount Song this time is definitely not with good intentions. We must be vigilant."

Tang Ying'e added.

With the four bodyguards killed, it's obvious to anyone with a brain that Tianmen Daoist's arrival at Songshan with the Taishan Sect was definitely not a friendly move. If Tianmen were to say something inappropriate in public, things would get very messy.

"Ah."

Zuo Lengchan nodded; he understood.

Just as he was about to say something more, footsteps came from outside the hall, and then a person walked in.

"Junior Brother Han, why are you only arriving now?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Zuo Lengchan's face darkened, and his tone revealed a hint of displeasure.
