Chapter 24: The Huashan Sect

Huashan Lotus Peak. Xiong Qingyuan found Ning Qingyu with the silver and letter sent by Su Fan. After the latter saw Su Fan's letter, his expression changed.

Then he immediately called all the Huashan Sect elders to the Sword-Qi Chongxiao Hall.

Half an hour later, a group of elders walked in quickly. Seeing Ning Qingyu's solemn expression, they immediately understood that something had happened.

"Su Fan, that kid, brought a letter. You all take a look and see what you think."

Ning Qingyu gave the letter to Zhou Qingyun. The latter quickly read the letter, his expression unchanged, but his eyes flickered a few times.

Then he passed it to the next one.

Just like that, it had been two cups of tea's time since all the elders finished reading the letter.

"What do you all think?"

"This was proposed by Su Fan, that kid. I never imagined that this kid would have such insight." An elder of the Sword Sect sighed, looking at Xiong Qingyuan with even more envy.

"Whether what is proposed here is true, we can go and investigate."

The Great Elder said calmly.

"However, Su Fan being able to propose this is not bad. It seems his vision and insight are quite good. No wonder he took over the Su family at such a young age and turned the Su family into the richest in Huayin in just a few years."

Speaking to the end, he even made a small joke, which could be considered breaking the serious atmosphere in the living room.

Although what was said in the letter was very serious, Zhou Qingyun had lived for decades and had encountered everything. He had personally seen two righteous-evil wars, and even participated in the last righteous-evil war.

Even if what was in the letter was true, his Huashan Sect wouldn't fear it. The Huashan Sect being worth the opponent spending so much effort to deal with shows that their Huashan Sect's strength has become stronger.

"Hehe!"

Zhou Qingyun's teasing also allowed everyone's tense spirits to relax slightly.

However, everyone's eyes also carried a hint of coldness.

"Sect Leader, Su Fan's proposed idea is very likely. That Li Wufeng suddenly died in Xiangnan. The Hengshan Sect didn't act, and none of our Five Mountains acted. The other sects had even less reason."

"So you all agree?"

Ning Qingyu remained calm.

Deep down, he felt the same. Even before, he felt in his heart that there must be a conspiracy here.

"I think they have this motive."

"Hmph! Don't look at them maintaining the righteous path and existing for a thousand years; they are all a group of chicken-thieving and dog-stealing people. I know that some Jianghu thieves are hidden in there. In these years, our Huashan Sect's strength has increased rapidly, and the Five Mountains Sword Sects' momentum is pressing directly on them. They are anxious."

"So they used this move, wanting us to fight the Demonic Cult to the death, killing two birds with one stone."

After Su Fan's reminder, everyone suddenly realized, and almost everyone agreed with Su Fan's idea.

They were not fools and naturally wouldn't believe that Shaolin was a true martial arts righteous path. They scoffed at the "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha on the spot."

Killed countless people, hands stained with blood, put down the knife, and can become a high monk? Nonsense. Then does this world still have any reason to speak of?

But Shaolin just believes in this point.

They naturally understand why, because this can attract many people. Otherwise, where would Shaolin get so many martial arts? Do they really think they were all created by high monks?

It's just that some demons joined and put their martial arts into the Scripture Library. Over time, it became Shaolin's seventy-two unique skills.

Of course, their Huashan Sect also absorbs Jianghu experts, but they never act as indiscriminately as Shaolin. They still want face.

"Since everyone agrees, let's go and investigate first."

"Sect Leader, if it really was them who did it, what should we do?"

An elder of the Sword Sect said with suppressed anger.

Everyone also looked at Ning Qingyu. If it really was them who did it, then this is not a small matter.

This is simply forming a great enmity with their Huashan Sect.

It's just that Shaolin's strength is still above their Huashan Sect, and they are the leaders of the righteous path. Unless they can produce absolute evidence, it will be very difficult to topple them.

This is a thorny matter, and they cannot directly fight Shaolin.

Starting a war is impossible; the impact is too great. At the same time, it will only make the Demonic Cult happy.

"Great Elder, what do you think?"

Ning Qingyu looked at Zhou Qingyun.

"The Five Mountains Alliance Assembly will open in five years. By then, we can strengthen the connection with the other sects, and at the same time, strengthen the support for the Songshan Sect."

"As for the Demonic Cult, we will focus on defense."

"As for Shaolin, we will ignore them for now."

Zhou Qingyun was silent for a long time before saying slowly. After speaking, his expression was also a bit ugly.

"Great Elder."

They all agreed with Zhou Qingyun's previous proposal, but for the last point, most of the elders were extremely unhappy.

"What? You don't agree? What do you want to do? Go and fight Shaolin head-on now or what?"

"Don't forget, the Demonic Cult is still eyeing our Five Mountains covetously."

Zhou Qingyun's tiger eyes glared, and the elder who spoke didn't dare to speak anymore. In the Huashan Sect, although Ning Qingyu is the Sect Leader, the Great Elder's prestige is higher.

Because of age, many of these elders also followed the Great Elder to learn since they were young.

Everyone was silent because they all knew that the Great Elder was right. Once they clashed with Shaolin, there would be no benefit.

Unless they produced ironclad evidence and occupied the upper hand in Jianghu morality, even so, it would be very difficult for them to do anything to Shaolin, at most hitting Shaolin's reputation.

"Are we just going to watch Shaolin scheme against us like this?"

Someone was angry.

"That's right, we need to do something!"

Being beaten passively is not their Huashan Sect's style.

"The priority now is for Qingyang to break through to the super first-class peak. Once Qingyang breaks through, our Huashan Sect's strength will increase greatly, and by then, we can heavily strike Shaolin."

Ning Qingyu said calmly. "Shaolin's strength, everyone knows. They have at least three peak martial artists. Uncle Hua cannot move, and the entire Huashan having only me as a peak expert is not enough."

"Hmm! Sect Leader is right."

Everyone nodded one after another. They also reacted. The Sect Leader also wants revenge, but the Huashan Sect's strength is not enough. Not to mention first-rate martial artists, the gap in peak experts is a bit large.

"Hehe! Junior Brother Qingyang's strength is not ordinary. Having just broken through to the first-rate level, he can already be on par with me, and his sword technique is even above mine. Once he breaks through, his strength will definitely be stronger than ordinary peak experts. In this way, we won't fear Shaolin."

Everyone is not necessarily very smart, but they can think of this point.

"This is just one aspect. Although we won't have a conflict with Shaolin now, there are still some things we can do. Shaolin wants to use us as a shield, and we can also use their own way to treat their own body."

"From now on, shrink the Huashan power and only maintain the Shaanxi region. We won't go to the Central Plains."

Ning Qingyu's eyes flashed with brilliance. "Su Fan is developing well there, and the Northern Desert is bitter and cold, with no Jianghu forces, so we will vigorously develop there."

"Doesn't he want people? Then give him another fifty people and tell him not to have any scruples and to perform to his heart's content."

After Ning Qingyu finished speaking, Xiong Qingyuan's eyes widened, and the others were also somewhat unbelievable.

"Sect Leader, in this way, our Huashan Sect's financial resources will lose a lot."

Fang Qingshan, as the sect's business elder, in charge of financial power, knew clearly that once this was done, the Huashan Sect would be equivalent to losing one-fifth, or even more, of its wealth income. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====
