Lin Feng didn't tell the others about his guess because he didn't have any evidence. Ning Zhongze did not disturb their rest after Ding Yi and the others had bandaged their wounds.
The night was silent. The next day, at dawn, under the leadership of Yue Buqun and Ding Yi, the disciples of Mount Hua and Mount Heng headed towards the foot of Mount Song.
Although Shaolin and Mount Song were both on Mount Song, Shaolin was located on Shaoshi Mountain, while Mount Song was built on Taishi Mountain. The way up the mountain was different.
As soon as Lin Feng and the others reached the mountainside, a disciple of Mount Song came to welcome them. The group passed by Shengguan Peak and Qinggang Peak before finally arriving at the Pilgrimage Platform. Although this was the peak, it was an empty land.
At this moment, the Pilgrimage Platform was bustling with activity. It was filled with Jianghu dignitaries. There were also a dozen independent seats placed closest to the Five Mountain Alliance Master's throne.
Lin Feng looked up and saw that more than half of the seats had been taken. There were people from Mount Tai Sect, Hengshan Sect, Shaolin Temple, Wudang Sect, and other big sects who had come to watch the ceremony.
At this moment, the heroes suddenly parted from the middle. Zuo Lengchan, who was wearing a yellow robe, led more than 20 disciples and greeted Yue Buqun and Ding Yi.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries. Zuo Lengchan comforted Ding Yi with a few words at the right time. It seemed that he already knew about the attack on the Heng Mountain Sect. Then, he personally led the Huashan and Heng Mountain sects to their seats before returning to the alliance leader's seat.
Then, Zuo Lengchan stood on the high platform and said in a clear voice,"Friends, please. Today, my Five Mountain Sword Sect has gathered. I am indebted to you for gracing me with your presence on Mount Song. If there is any inhospitality, please don't blame me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd replied loudly,"Mister Zuo is too polite. We came here without notice, and it was already rude of us. This time, we have been indebted to Mister Zuo's hospitality, so how would we dare to have any dissatisfaction?”
Zuo Lenchan laughed." You're too polite, my friend. This is my duty. Please take a seat!"”
After saying that, he frowned and his tiger eyes slowly swept across the crowd below the stage. After a long time, he said in a deep voice,"Friends, before you came here, you must have heard the purpose of the gathering of the Five Mountain Sword Sect.
A few months ago, Ren Woxing, the previous cult master of the Devil Cult, returned to the martial world. This old devil had just regained his position as cult master when he wantonly killed our righteous path members. Even the sect master of Mount Heng, Nun Dexian, was killed by this devil.
Old Demon Ren was bloodthirsty. If he was allowed to continue being arrogant, who knew how many martial arts practitioners would be killed by him in the future!”
At this point, Zuo Lenchan suddenly sighed and continued,""As you all know, twenty years ago, our Five Mountain Sword Sect joined forces to annihilate the Demonic Sect. Unfortunately, because we were unable to unify our orders, not only did our five sects fail to annihilate the Demonic Sect, we even suffered a great loss.
However, the Demonic Sect had already reached a point where it could not be eliminated. As a righteous path sect, our Five Mountain Sword Sect cannot stand by and watch.
" The Five Mountain Sword Sect has always been united. We have formed an alliance for more than a hundred years and are like a family. I have already discussed with the seniors of the Five Mountain Sword Sect and decided to form a sect and unify our orders to eliminate this great scourge for the righteous path of the martial arts world!”
Zuo Lenchan's impassioned speech made the heroes 'blood boil. However, just as he finished speaking, Mo Da suddenly spoke and replied coldly,""May I know which sect Alliance Master Zuo has discussed this with? Why don't I know about this?"
When the heroes heard this, they knew that the Mount Heng Sect did not agree to merge their sects. However, before they could think about it, Daoist Tianmen also stood up and said in a loud voice,"It has been more than 300 years since the founding of Mount Tai Sect, Daoist Master Dong Ling. I have no virtue and no ability, so I can't carry forward Mount Tai's sect, but the foundation of these three hundred years can't be cut off by me. This proposal to merge the sects could not be accepted.”
Before he could finish his words, another Daoist from Mount Tai Sect followed him and said in a clear voice,"Martial Nephew Elysium's words are wrong. Mount Tai has a total of more than 400 members in four generations. We can't obstruct the great cause that benefits the entire sect just for your selfish motives.”
Lin Feng saw that the Taoist had white hair and beard, and he was also a senior in the Elysium. He knew that he was the Elysium's martial uncle, Yu Jizi. This person had already been bribed by Zuo Lengchan, and the sudden attack was clearly premeditated.
As expected, Yu Jizi continued to use words to provoke Elysium. Elysium could not take the provocation, so Yu Jizi took the opportunity to seize the sect leader token. At this point, Mount Tai's faction split into two factions and confronted each other.
Zuo Lenchan's eyes flashed when he saw this. He immediately stood up and said,""With a great enemy in front of us, seniors of Mount Tai Sect, please don't make a fool of yourselves. In my opinion, it's better for Senior Brother Tianmen and the three Uncle-Masters Yu Jizi to take over Mount Tai Sect together!”
Then, without waiting for the Heaven Gate's agreement, he asked again,"What do you think about the merger of the Five Mountain Sword Sect?”
Yu Jizi and Zuo Lengchan had already planned this beforehand, so they replied,""I agree with the merging of the sects!”As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qinzi and Yu Yinzi hurriedly agreed.
Seeing this, Zuo Lenchan laughed and announced without looking at the Gate of Heaven,""The minority obeys the majority. Mount Tai Sect has agreed to merge!”
As he spoke, his gaze turned and looked at Yue Buqun, asking with a smile that was not a smile: "Senior Martial Brother Yue, I wonder if the Huashan Sect has any brilliant ideas?”
Yue Buqun's expression did not change. He raised his head and looked at Zuo Lenchan. After a while, he shook his head and said firmly: " Huashan's foundation cannot be ruined by me…"
Before he could finish his words, a sudden shout came from the crowd,"Wait!"
Lin Feng frowned and looked towards the source of the voice. He saw three old men in their fifties or sixties walking out from the seats on the left. The person in the lead had a sallow complexion, while the other two were short and skinny. At this moment, all three of them were staring at Yue Buqun with vicious expressions.
Although Lin Feng had never seen these three people before, he could guess that they were Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou, and Cong Buqi from the Sword Sect when he saw the Huashan sword hanging on their waists.
At this moment, when Yue Buqun saw these three people, his expression also sank slightly. From the corner of his eyes, Zuo Lengchan's killing intent flashed rapidly. He then sneered,"Senior Brother Zuo, you have good methods. First, it's the Taishan Sect, and now it's my Huashan Sect. I'm sure Senior Brother Zuo is already determined to merge the sects!”
Zuo Lenchan's lips curled up when he heard this. He did not refute and remained silent. However, the short man, Cheng Buyou, jumped out and sneered,""What does this have to do with Zuo Shixiong? It's Yue Buqun who has brought disaster to the disciples and caused endless poison. Everyone knows that my Huashan Sect is a sword sect, and you, Yue Buqun, have only focused on cultivating Qi and have already walked into the demonic path. You are not worthy of being the Huashan Sect Master!”
Yue Buqun's gaze swept past Cheng Buyou and the other two, and he replied indifferently: "Brother Cheng, don't be so unreasonable. Twenty-five years ago, our two sects competed on the Peak of the Virgin Girl. The winner and loser were decided, and the right and wrong were also distinguished. Your 'Sword Sect' is no longer a disciple of the Huashan Sect, so how can you interfere in the affairs of Huashan?”
"Bullsh * t! If it wasn't for your Qi Sect's despicable methods, my Sword Sect wouldn't have been defeated. I will never admit the result of that battle!”
