Feng Buping's face turned pale. He took a deep breath and felt a sharp pain in his stomach. Lin Feng's sword had severely injured his internal organs. Without half a year's rest, he wouldn't be able to recover.
At this moment, he slightly raised his head, his gaze turned back and forth between Yue Buqun and Lin Feng, then he sighed and turned around to leave the platform with a dejected expression. Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi were already terrified, how could they dare to stay any longer, dejectedly following behind.
Lin Feng sheathed his sword and turned around, only to see Zuo Lenchan staring at him with a fake smile.""This must be Junior Brother Lin Feng.”
Although it was a compliment, Lin Feng could hear the murderous intent in it. He was not surprised by this. With Zuo Lenchan's shrewdness, even if he did not find the bodies of Ding Mian and the others, he could guess that these three people had died by his hands.
"Alliance Master Zuo, you flatter me!" Lin Feng met Zuo Lenchan's gaze and replied nonchalantly.
"Junior Brother Lin is too humble. If my Junior Brother Ding, Junior Brother Lu, and Junior Brother Fei had Junior Brother Lin's cultivation, they wouldn't have died!”Zuo Lenchan chuckled, but his words were filled with a chilling intent.
When Lin Feng heard this, he chuckled and didn't reply. He returned to his seat and sat down.
Zuo Lenchan snorted and stopped paying attention to Lin Feng. Then, he shifted his gaze to Ding Yi and the others and frowned.
According to his original plan, the people of the Eternal Mountain Sect would not be able to reach Mount Song. As for the proposal to merge the sects, he would use the name of Ding Xian to express the approval of the Eternal Mountain Sect.
At that time, he could use the support of Mount Tai, Mount Heng, and Mount Song to forcefully merge the sects, and he would be able to complete his many years of planning.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated the abilities of the nuns of the Heng Mountain Sect. They had allowed Ding Yi to escape, causing all his plans to fail.
However, Zuo Lenchan was determined to merge the sects and would not give up easily. At that moment, he said very quickly,"Before the sect master of Mount Heng, Nun Ding Xian, was killed, she had discussed the merging of the sects with me several times.
Currently, three of my Five Mountain Sword Sect have agreed to join, so I think it's the general trend. Today, I, Zuo, as the Alliance Master of the Five Mountains, announce…"
"Wait!" Before Zuo Lengchan could finish, Ding Yi suddenly stood up and shouted," Leader Zuo, when did my Senior Sister Ding Xian agree with the proposal of merging the sects? Before she passed away, she was already bitterly opposed to the proposal. Leader Zuo, you must not speak nonsense!"”
Zuo Lenchan's expression did not change. When he glanced at Ding Yi, a killing intent flashed across his eyes. Then, he replied solemnly,"When did I say such nonsense? Nun Ding Xian is very knowledgeable. When she talked to me about the Demonic Sect, she once said that only by combining the five sects could the Demonic Sect be completely wiped out and not repeat the mistakes of more than twenty years ago.
I deeply regret that I didn't listen to her earlier. If our five sects had merged earlier, she wouldn't have been ambushed and killed by the demons!”
Under the high platform, Lin Feng couldn't help but admire Zuo Lenchan's ability to lie through his teeth. Ding Yi was so angry that his face turned red, and he kept cursing "nonsense".
Zuo Lengchan did not care about this at all and continued,"The merger of the five mountains is not only beneficial to us, but it will also be of great help to our fellow martial artists.
Now that the Demonic Sect is wreaking havoc in Jianghu, it is time for us five sects to step forward. Abbess Dingyi must not delay the great event for her own selfish interests.”
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the heroes suddenly stood up and shouted,"Alliance Master Zuo is benevolent and righteous. The Five Mountain Sword Sect is indeed a big sect in the righteous path of the martial arts world. Although our strength is weak, when Alliance Master Zuo attacks the Demonic Sect, we will definitely be the tail!”
As soon as this person finished speaking, the crowd immediately echoed! Some of them praised Zuo Lengchan for his righteousness, some promised to attack the Demonic Sect together, and some even started to scold Ding Yi, saying that Ding Yi was selfish, afraid of death, and did not care about his fellow Jianghu members.
The heroes were not fools. Ever since Ren Woxing seized the throne, everyone in the Jianghu was in danger. They were deeply afraid that one day, they would be killed by the demons of the Demonic Sect. Today, Zuo Lengchan had declared that he would destroy the Demonic Sect. Naturally, they were happy to stand behind him and cheer. After all, it was the Five Mountains Sword Sect that had contributed.
Seeing this, Lin Feng and the others couldn't help but curse Zuo Lenchan in their hearts. How could they not see that the person who stood up to agree with them was arranged by Zuo Lenchan? Even if they could postpone the merger of the sects today, they couldn't reject the crusade against the Demonic Sect. Otherwise, the Five Mountain Sword Sect would lose face in Jianghu.
Zuo Lenchan had gone crazy for the sake of merging the sects. However, was the Demonic Sect really that easy to destroy? Now, it was difficult to get off the tiger.
The heroes and Bi all stared at Yue Buqun and the other four sect leaders, waiting for their reply.
At this moment, even with Yue Buqun's shrewdness, he felt a headache coming on. After exchanging a glance with Mo Da, he stood up and said: "All of you heroes have the heart to eliminate evil and protect the Dao. Our Huashan Sect naturally will not shirk its responsibility!”Since this matter was unavoidable, he naturally had to pull the heroes together to share some of the pressure.
After Yue Buqun, Elysium, Ding Yi and Mo also expressed their stance. In the end, Yue Buqun continued: "Our Five Mountain Sword Sect has gathered this time to crusade against the Demonic Sect. As for Head Zuo's proposal to merge the sects, I think it is very inappropriate.
As the saying goes,'gentlemen are harmonious but different.' The sword techniques and martial arts of our five sects are all different. If we forcefully merge them, it will definitely lead to disaster. For thousands of years, countless martial artists have died because of sectarianism. The dispute between the sword and qi of our Huashan Sect is a lesson for us.
Although Alliance Master Zuo has made many contributions since he became the Alliance Master of the Five Mountains, it's a perverse move to forcefully merge the factions. He's no longer suitable to continue being the Alliance Master. Today, I propose to re-elect the Alliance Master of the Five Mountains!”
Yue Buqun knew very well that since the crusade against the Demonic Sect could not be changed, then he could not let Zuo Lengchan continue to be the Alliance Master. Otherwise, with Zuo Lengchan's ambition, he would definitely find an opportunity to wear down the strength of the other four sects in the operation to encircle and suppress the Demonic Sect.
Yue Buqun's voice just fell, Mo Da immediately stood up and echoed. Half a year ago, outside of Mount Heng City, after Yue Buqun gave the lost "Five Godly Swords of Mount Heng", Mo Da and Yue Buqun reached a consensus to "fight Mount Song together".
After the great event, Dingyi and Elysium also voiced their agreement. Firstly, they were dissatisfied with Zuo Lengchan interfering with their own sects. Secondly, they did not agree with the idea of merging their sects. If they changed the alliance leader, this matter would naturally be resolved without any attack.
Yue Buqun exposed his family's dirty linen and used the sword and qi dispute to explain the disadvantages of merging the sects. The heroes also felt that it was not unreasonable. Then, they observed that the other three sects, such as Hengshan, did not agree with the merger. The crusade against the Demonic Sect was a certainty, so they did not say anything more to avoid offending Yue Buqun and others.
