Chapter 276: The Little Patriarch of the Songyang Academy

Songshan, Mount Taishi, Shengguan Peak!

Songshan Sword Sect, Council Hall.

Zuo Lengchan's words were like swords, warning everyone in the hall.

Although he was also watching Shaolin's joke and felt immense disdain for Shaolin in his heart, Zuo Lengchan was still relatively calm, knowing that Shaolin's foundation was extraordinary and far from something a Songshan Sword Sect could contend with.

Over these years, if it weren't for the Confucian Songyang Academy and the Zhongyue Temple, one of the sixth holy lands of Daoism, on Songshan directly resisting the pressure of the Shaolin Sect.

I fear the Songshan Sword Sect would have had to bow down and submit to Shaolin!

But even so, under the subtle suppression of Shaolin, the days of the Songshan Sword Sect over these years had still been somewhat difficult.

At this very moment, as Zuo Lengchan's words came out, everyone in the hall fell silent!

They had only been watching Shaolin's joke, forgetting that... no matter how many scandals Shaolin had, no matter how Shaolin was... as long as Shaolin's foundation was not lost and its experts remained, then... Shaolin was still Shaolin and would not change in the slightest!

"To contend with Shaolin, we must gather the strength of the entire Five Great Sword Sects!"

"Therefore, before I can fully mobilize the power of the entire Five Great Sword Sects, we must not show the slightest disrespect to the Shaolin monks!"

Zuo Lengchan pondered for a moment and spoke heavily.

He knew he could not keep crushing everyone's confidence; he still had to give them a glimmer of hope.

"Yes!"

The Thirteen Taibao of Songshan, along with the elders and disciples of Songshan, all bowed and responded.

"Now that Shaolin is overwhelmed, my opportunity has arrived."

Zuo Lengchan clenched his fists tightly, his heart feeling somewhat excited. He had long wanted to subdue the other four Sword Sects and integrate them into one.

But because he was wary of the Shaolin Sect nearby, he had long dared not make a move.

After all, the Songshan Sword Sect and the Shaolin Sect were right next to each other; any move he made would inevitably be detected by the Shaolin Sect.

And now, the opportunity had finally... arrived!

"Fei Bin, Lu Bai!"

"You must immediately head to Hengyang City and stop Liu Zhengfeng from washing his hands in the golden basin!"

"Whether we can subdue the Hengshan Sword Sect depends on this one move! There must be no mistakes!"

Zuo Lengchan was a decisive person and made the decision without the slightest hesitation.

"Yes!"

Fei Bin, Lu Bai, and others stepped out, taking dozens of Songshan Sword Sect disciples, and quietly headed down the mountain.

Songyang Academy, one of the eight great Confucian academies!

These eight academies are: Yingtian Academy, Yuelu Academy, Bai Lu Academy, Songyang Academy, Shigu Academy, Culai Academy, Longmen Academy, and Maoshan Academy!

In the Hall of the Sages.

Two figures were looking at each other, both wearing bitter expressions.

These two figures were none other than the disciples of the two masters Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao: Yang Shi and You Zuo!

Perhaps people are not very familiar with these two names, but the idiom "Standing in the Snow at the Cheng Gate"... some people have heard of it.

Yang Shi and You Zuo were the two who stood in the snow in "Standing in the Snow at the Cheng Gate"!

Legend has it that one year in the middle of winter, with snow drifting down, the two students Yang Shi and You Zuo came to Songyang Academy, wanting to pay their respects and seek learning.

But at that time, Cheng Yi was closing his eyes and resting in the lecture hall. Yang Shi and You Zuo found it inconvenient to disturb him, so they stood respectfully at the door, waiting quietly.

By the time Cheng Yi woke up, the snow in the courtyard was already over a foot thick, yet Yang Shi and You Zuo were still standing in the snow.

This is the origin of "Standing in the Snow at the Cheng Gate". ===== CHAPTER 278 =====
