Chapter 248

By the time Lin Fan and the others arrived at the Songshan Great Hall, the major sects had even set up their formations, and not just the Five Mountains; even Shaolin and Wudang had come.

Of course, this Shaolin and Wudang were not that Shaolin and Wudang. This time, the Wudang Sect Master, Daoist Chongxu, and the Shaolin Abbot, Abbot Fangzheng, had come.

"Greetings, Young Master Tianji, I hope you are well!"

The Hengshan Sect's Abbess Dingyi greeted Lin Fan first. Behind her, a shiny little bald head was secretly looking at Lin Fan. Seeing Lin Fan look over, he lowered his head like a frightened deer.

"Yilin greets Brother Lin!"

Although she lowered her head, Yilin still shyly greeted Lin Fan.

"Greetings, Young Master Tianji!"

The Hengshan Sect's Master Mo Da, the Huashan Sect's Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, and the Taishan Sect's Daoist Tianmen all bowed to Lin Fan.

Zuo Lengchan's expression changed slightly. Young Master Tianji Lin Fan had quite a reputation; the sect masters of the other four of the Five Mountains were actually all bowing to him, which made Zuo Lengchan feel something was wrong.

Could it be that he had done something wrong this time and picked a tough nut to crack?

"I have long heard of Young Master Tianji's name, but hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once. Young Master's peerless elegance cannot be fully described in a few words in the Jianghu!"

The Wudang Sect's Daoist Chongxu spoke up and praised Lin Fan. Everyone else present looked at Daoist Chongxu in surprise. Good for you, you old ox-nose priest, you are really forcing a connection. This flattery is too obvious.

As for why Daoist Chongxu was so polite to Lin Fan, it was naturally because of the close relationship between the Great Ming Wudang and the Great Yuan Wudang. The two sects helped each other. Since Lin Fan was a distinguished guest of the Great Yuan Wudang, he was naturally also a distinguished guest of the Great Ming Wudang.

He was not present at Zhang Zhenren's birthday last time, but Lin Fan's deeds at the Great Yuan Wudang had also reached his ears.

"This old monk has also heard of Young Master Tianji, Amitabha!"

Fangzheng spoke, but he did not praise Lin Fan, because Lin Fan had beaten the Great Yuan Shaolin's Sandu to death—no, that's not right, it could also be that they were angered to death.

But regardless, the death of Sandu was related to Lin Fan, and Yin Susu threw out false news to slander the Great Yuan Shaolin. Lin Fan stood up and confirmed the rumors, making Shaolin have a headache. The Shaolin of the major dynasties were of one mind, so it was impossible for him to have a good attitude toward Lin Fan.

Zuo Lengchan was stunned. He had only been in seclusion for a year to cultivate the Cold Ice True Qi. How did the world change after he came out of seclusion?

Where did this Young Master Tianji come from? Why did the masters of the major sects all know him, and they were either flattering or hostile?

But whether it was flattery or hostility, it could show Lin Fan's strength.

Zuo Lengchan had originally heard that someone had killed the three great protectors of Songshan and was furious, so he prepared to kill Lin Fan in public at today's Five Mountains Alliance to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, and then propose the suggestion of merging the Five Mountains with him as the master to coerce and lure them. He believed that he would definitely be able to get what he wanted today.

But he didn't expect that the fish he was fishing for was too big; this was going to drag him into the water.

So Zuo Lengchan decided decisively to discuss the merger of the Five Mountains first, and wait until the merger was completed to gather the power of the Five Mountains to resolve Lin Fan.

"Young Master Tianji, please take your seat first. Everyone, today is a major event for our Five Mountains Alliance. Let's discuss the main business first!"

Although he didn't intend to confront Lin Fan now, Zuo Lengchan didn't want Lin Fan to steal his limelight, so he used his internal energy to make his voice resound throughout the hall.

Lin Fan was a bit surprised to see that Zuo Lengchan was not prepared to cause trouble for him directly.

Old Zuo, if you don't cause trouble for me now, it will be too late. Old Yue is about to stab you with an embroidery needle.

However, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Lin Fan was happy to watch a good show, so he found a chair and sat down.

Yang Yan and the others stood silently behind Lin Fan. Looking at it this way, Lin Fan looked quite like a sect master.

Because at this time, the other sect masters were similar to him, all sitting in the hall with a bunch of disciples standing behind them.

"I am grateful to all my good friends for giving me face and coming to Songshan."

"Before everyone came here, I believe everyone must know that today is the great day for the Five Mountains Sword Sects to work together and merge into one sect!"

"In recent years, many major events have occurred in the Wu Lin. I have discussed it with the seniors of the Five Great Sword Sects, and everyone feels that if we do not unite into one sect and unify our orders, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist the great disasters of the future!"

Zuo Lengchan was speaking with satisfaction above, while the sect masters of the various sects below had different expressions.

"Alliance Master Zuo, you said you discussed it with the seniors of the Five Great Sword Sects. I don't know who you discussed it with. I, Mo Da, don't seem to have heard of it!"

The Hengshan Sect's Master Mo Da made trouble first, interrupting Zuo Lengchan's self-talk.

"I just said that many major events have occurred in the Jianghu, and our five sects must merge. One of these major events is that people in our five sects are killing each other, disregarding the alliance's righteousness."

"Master Mo Da, my Songshan disciples and the three great protectors went to Hengshan because your Junior Brother Liu Zhengfeng colluded with the Demon Sect, but I didn't expect them all to be killed, with none spared! Are you planning to give me an explanation for this matter?"

Zuo Lengchan looked at Mo Da coldly. Because of Liu Zhengfeng's matter, Songshan lost the three great protectors and many disciples. You must know that the martial arts of each of them were not far from the sect masters of the various sects. Three died at once, and the strength of the Songshan Sect was also greatly damaged.
