Winter came and summer went, winter went and autumn came. Happy times were always easy to pass. After the Huashan Sect martial arts examination, peace was quickly restored.
In the blink of an eye, it was almost time for the five-year lockdown of Mount Hua to end. On this day, Yue Buqun began to summon the heads of the six departments to discuss the lifting of the lockdown of Mount Hua.
" Five years ago, our Huashan Sect had no choice but to send a message to the Jianghu to announce that Huashan would be sealed off for five years. Thanks to our ancestors, we managed to pass these five years safely. This October, it will be the time for Huashan to lift the seal. Let's discuss how to deal with the situation in the Jianghu after the seal is lifted.”Yue Buqun looked at the people sitting in the hall and said calmly.
Ning Zhong sat on the upper left, trying hard to maintain the calm appearance of the sect leader's wife. Below him sat Xiao Fan and Xu Xiao, all of whom had serious expressions.
Chu Yunfei was the first to sit on the right, while Wang Buyi and Lu Feipeng were eager to try.
"Minister Lu Feipeng, don't be too excited. You're in charge of the Huashan Sect's Jianghu News Department. First, give everyone a brief explanation of the current situation in Jianghu so that everyone can have a picture in their hearts.”Yue Buqun was very respectful of his personal identity in formal occasions. He usually had a formal title. Seeing that no one spoke, he let Lu Feipeng throw out a brick to attract jade first.
"Yes, Sect Master." Lu Feipeng quickly stood up and said.
Yue Buqun waved his hand," Minister Lu Feipeng, don't be nervous, you sit down and talk."”
" In recent years, Jianghu has been relatively peaceful. The reason is that all the big sects have entered a period of transition between the old and the new. The elders of each sect have begun to retire one after another. Most of the new leading disciples are sorting out the relationships within the sect and consolidating their status. There are very few big disputes and fights in the martial arts world.”
"In the Demon Cult, the most dazzling person is called Ren Woxing. He is in his thirties and has extremely high martial arts skills. It is said that he is far superior to ordinary first-class experts. He is highly regarded by the higher-ups of the Demon Cult and has been appointed as the Demon Cult Master a year ago.”
"At the same time, Ren Woxing also has a few powerful people under him. They are Dongfang Sheng, Xiang Wentian, Qu Yang, and Tong Baixiong. They are all rare experts among the younger generation of the Demonic Sect.”
"Right now, Ren Woxing is trying to rope in the various branches and underworld forces. It will probably take a few years before they launch a new attack on our Five Mountain Sword Sect.”
"Yes, the main thing is that Ren Woxing has cultivated a terrifying demonic technique that can absorb the internal energy of others for his own use, but there is no proof.”
"I'm afraid it's just a rumor in the martial arts world. How can I absorb other people's internal strength for my own use? He wasn't afraid of internal energy conflicts, Qi deviation, and martial arts being crippled.”Xiao Fan did not believe it.
Everyone from the Rising Sword Qi Hall nodded. Everyone had different physiques and different cultivation techniques. Once their internal energy met, they would definitely be incompatible and repel each other. How could they absorb it for their own use? It was just a rumor.
"There's no smoke without fire. It's better to be careful. If we bump into him, it should be fine if we don't come into contact with him. We use swords.”Yue Buqun had seen the original drama and knew that Ren Woxing was cultivating the Star Absorbing Grand Technique, so he gave his fellow disciples a warning in advance.
Everyone laughed. They didn't believe that someone could absorb internal energy from the sword. This was no longer martial arts. It was more like a divine ability.
" Fang Zheng took over as the abbot of Shaolin Temple. He posted to Mount Hua last year, but we sealed the mountain and didn't participate in Shaolin Temple's succession ceremony. There has been no news of Fang Zheng in the martial arts world. I don't know what he's capable of, but his junior brother Fang Sheng is more active.”Lu Feipeng continued.
" Someone who can manage the Shaolin Temple, the largest sect in the martial arts world, is definitely not a simple character. We have to maintain respect for Shaolin Temple and be vigilant enough. Shaolin Temple has dominated the martial arts world for hundreds of years, and its strength is unfathomable.”Yue Buqun secretly clenched his fists and warned.
Everyone was deep in thought and nodded. Five years ago, Huashan's strength was close to Shaolin's, but unfortunately...
"In recent years, when we talk about Shaolin, we have to talk about the Wudang Sect. There's a Taoist priest called Chuxu from the Wudang Sect who went down the mountain a few years ago and made a name for himself in the Huguang area. His swordsmanship is extremely high and he even defeated several mountain villages of Mount Daba. It's rumored that he's the successor of the Wudang Sect Master, but he never left Huguang.”
" Yes, we need to increase the intensity of our intelligence gathering on the three sects above, but we have to hide ourselves well. Right now, our Huashan cannot afford to offend them. We should start from the periphery and play a long-term game. Don't be too eager for quick success and instant benefits, and cause unnecessary trouble.”Yue Buqun warned Lu Feipeng.
The Huashan Sect had just recovered some of its strength and could not withstand the full blow of such a large sect. It was still farming time, so even if they had any thoughts, they could not reveal them.
"Yes, Sect Leader. We only record basic information and do not pry into the secrets of these sects.”Lu Feipeng nodded.
" The Cleansing Sect is in charge of Beggar's Sect now. They're busy doing business, and the ones who have disputes with them are mainly small sects from all over the world. Nothing major has spread out in the martial world, and the old Sect Master of Beggar's Sect hasn't appeared in a long time. Seven Bags disciple, Jie Feng, has been promoted twice in recent years. He's now a Nine Bags Elder. From the looks of it, he's going to take over as the Sect Master of Beggar's Sect.”
"When these beggars were poor, they had some backbone. Now that they have become big investors, they only care about money. They have long lost the loyalty of Beggar's Sect.”Chu Yunfei said disdainfully.
Yue Buqun smiled and said," Each sect has its own way of living. I don't think it's bad for a martial arts sect to do business. Our Huashan Sect also does business. If everyone goes to do business, there will be less fighting. The world is peaceful!”Everyone burst into laughter.
"The Kunlun Sect in the northwest hasn't been heard of in Jianghu for more than ten years. However, every twenty years, the Kunlun Sect has a master in Jianghu. The new generation of Kunlun disciples will probably come out in the next few years.”
" The Emei Sect and the Qingcheng Sect in the southwest have been quiet for a long time in recent years. Chang Qingzi of the Qingcheng Sect has passed away, and his disciple Yu Canghai has taken over as the sect master. His martial arts skills are not very good, and he has been holed up in the White Cloud Temple to practice martial arts. Although the Emei Sect has the upper hand, they have not gone too far. They have stopped after stealing the business of the waterway.”
"In the Five Mountain Sword Sect, Mount Tai and Mount Song have had a lot of dirty dealings. Mount Tai is very powerful and has six or seven first-class experts. They don't want to give in to Mount Song. Both sides have the intention to enter South Zhili and have already clashed several times.”
"However, the younger generation of disciples of Mount Song has gradually emerged. The leader is called Zuo Lengchan. His martial arts are excellent. He didn't fall into a disadvantage when he met the elders of Mount Tai Sect twice.”When He Yong talked about Mount Song Sect's situation, his expression became solemn.
" Most importantly, not only has Zuo Lengchan entered the first-class, he became the sect master one year later than you. He's ruthless to the outside world and attracts the hearts of the people. He's also good at teaching his junior brothers. His eight or nine junior brothers are all second-class top experts. In five years, all of his junior brothers will probably enter the first-class. By then..."
Everyone could tell that he was not done yet. Five years later, Mount Song would definitely have more than a dozen first-class masters, and Mount Hua would not have more than ten, even if they were to estimate it at the most optimistic. By then, the pressure on Mount Hua would be great.
? Yue Buqun smiled lightly and said," This is a good thing. If there were no more than a dozen first-rate masters, how could Mount Song sit on the throne of the Five Mountains Alliance Master?" How can we fight against the Demonic Sect?"
"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. When Ren Woxing of the Sun Moon Sect unifies the underworld forces and has a firm foothold in the demonic sect, do you think Ren Woxing will go to Mount Song, the leader of the Five Mountains, who is full of talents, or to Mount Hua, which is in decline in the eyes of outsiders?”
Ning Zhongze waited for everyone to hear this. After thinking about it carefully, they all smiled.
Huashan had fought for the Five Peaks for more than a hundred years and had always been at the forefront. Now that the sect had declined and was not strong enough, it was time for other sword sects to take over. Sect Leader Yue was still wise.
