Chapter 249

"I don't quite understand what Alliance Master Zuo means. Are you blaming the death of your sect's disciples on me, Mo Da? But I wasn't even in Hengyang City at the time. Alliance Master Zuo is being a bit unreasonable, right?"

Mo Da was a bit depressed. Although he was hiding in the dark and was prepared to take action against the Songshan Sect, he didn't have time to take action before the Songshan Sect's disciples were slaughtered by Lin Fan. What does this have to do with him?

"Then is it a fact that Liu Zhengfeng colluded with the Demon Sect Elder Qu Yang? Now that all the Jianghu colleagues are here, don't say you don't know. After all, I knew it far away in Songshan. If you know nothing, then I have to doubt your intentions!"

Zuo Lengchan naturally knew it was Lin Fan who did it, but he was prepared to resolve this matter after the Five Mountains merged, so he avoided talking about the death of the Songshan disciples and talked about Liu Zhengfeng's matter.

"This..."

Mo Da was speechless. Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang had a close personal friendship. This matter was no longer a secret in the current Jianghu, and he had no way to argue.

"No matter who killed my Songshan disciples, they died to persuade Liu Zhengfeng to turn back. My heart aches. Fei Bin and the others were not only my Junior Brothers but also my dearest friends and brothers! It is truly a pity that they died in vain. Of course, if Master Mo Da agrees to the merger, then you are also my Junior Brother. The dead are gone, and we living people will not create more killing. I will not make things difficult for another Junior Brother for the sake of a dead Junior Brother. Brother Mo, don't you think so?"

Zuo Lengchan's words were contradictory. On one hand, he expressed his deep friendship for Fei Bin and the others, and on the other hand, he said that he would let bygones be bygones if Mo Da agreed to the merger. This was actually openly coercing and luring Mo Da. Mo Da remained silent. The strength of the Hengshan Sect was far from that of the Songshan Sect, and he didn't want to bring disaster to Hengshan.

And the merger of the Five Mountains was not something that could be done just by his Hengshan Sect agreeing; it required the agreement of the sect masters of the other three sects, so he stopped talking and waited to see what would happen.

"Good, now the Southern Mountain Hengshan Sect has no objections to the merger of the Five Mountains. I don't know what the Eastern Mountain Taishan Sect thinks?"

Zuo Lengchan thought that the Hengshan Sect had been suppressed and defaulted by him, so he pointed the spearhead at the Taishan Sect triumphantly.

"Since the founder, Daoist Dongling, created the Taishan Sect, it has a history of more than three hundred years. This old priest is without virtue or talent and has failed to carry forward the Taishan Sect, but the foundation of the Taishan Sect for three hundred years cannot be ruined in my hands for nothing. So, please forgive this old priest for being unable to comply with the proposal of merging the sects!"

Daoist Tianmen walked out and righteously rejected Zuo Lengchan's proposal.

Zuo Lengchan's expression did not change. He had long guessed that Daoist Tianmen would not agree, but he had long been prepared.

"Junior Nephew Tianmen, you are wrong. The Taishan Sect has more than four hundred people in three generations. You cannot hinder the great cause that is beneficial to the five sects because of your own selfishness!"

Taishan's Yujizi stood out and reprimanded Daoist Tianmen.

"Brother Lin Fan, who is this old ox-nose priest? He seems to be a bit wrong!"

"He is a veteran of the Taishan Sect, Daoist Tianmen's Junior Uncle, and has already been bought by Zuo Lengchan."

Lin Fan and Qu Feiyan whispered to each other on the side.

"Junior Uncle, what do you mean by this? Since I have been in charge of the Taishan portal, which matter has not been for the sake of the sect's reputation and foundation? I oppose the merger to preserve the Taishan Sect's foundation. Once the Five Mountains merge, the Taishan Sect will no longer exist. Then what face do I have to see the ancestors of Taishan after I die? How can this be considered selfish?"

Daoist Tianmen looked at Yujizi in confusion, unable to imagine that his Junior Uncle would say such things.

"The merger of the Five Mountains is the day when the reputation of the Five Mountains Sword Sects will be greatly strengthened. The disciples of the Five Mountains will all benefit. But what about you? You will lose your position as the Taishan Sect Master. You keep saying it's for the foundation of the Taishan Sect, but in fact, it's just to keep your own position!"

Yujizi pretended to look at Daoist Tianmen with disdain, because he knew that Daoist Tianmen had a fiery temper and a straightforward personality, so he deliberately provoked him.

"What does it matter if I am the sect master or not? It's just that the Taishan Sect cannot be swallowed up in my hands!"

"You speak quite beautifully, but it is unknown whether you can really give up the name and position of sect master in your heart!"

"You still say that? Since that's the case, I won't be the sect master. If you want to do it, then you can do it yourself!"

Daoist Tianmen took out the sect master's token and handed it to Yujizi. Yujizi and Zuo Lengchan couldn't help but show a sneer when they saw this. This reckless man finally took the bait.

Yujizi reached out to take it. Daoist Tianmen didn't expect that he really wanted to take the sect master's token, so he quickly took his hand back. The two fought for three rounds, the token was snatched by Yujizi, and Daoist Tianmen was furious and wanted to draw his sword, but was stopped by two other elders.

"Tianmen, do you dare to offend your superiors? Have you forgotten the sect's rules? Since you have handed over the position of sect master, you should respect the new sect master who succeeded! Since Junior Uncle Yu Ji is your Junior Uncle and also the sect master of this sect, your action against him is bullying the master and destroying the ancestors, and committing rebellion!"

Two old priests stopped Daoist Tianmen and scolded him.

"That was just a moment of anger. How can the position of sect master of this sect be taught at will? Even if it is to be taught, it cannot be taught to this turtle bastard!"

Daoist Tianmen was a bit speechless, but he absolutely would not allow the position of sect master to fall into Yujizi's hands, because Yujizi's intentions were obvious. He was in the same group as Zuo Lengchan and would inevitably agree to the merger of the Five Mountains. By then, the Taishan Sect would disappear.

Unfortunately, the words had already been spoken, and the water could not be recovered. Neither Zuo Lengchan nor Yujizi would let go of this good opportunity. Why did they provoke Daoist Tianmen? Wasn't it just to make him lose his mind and take the initiative to hand over the position of sect master!

"I have the Taishan Sect's sect master token, so I am the Taishan Sect Master. Disciples of the Taishan Sect, listen: Tianmen has offended his superiors and bullied the master and destroyed the ancestors. I order you to take him down!"

Yujizi took out the sect master's token and ordered the Taishan Sect's disciples. However, Tiansong took people and stood behind Daoist Tianmen.

"You want to be the Taishan Sect Master? You can, but you must take an oath not to merge the Taishan Sect into the Five Mountains and ruin the foundation of the Taishan Sect. Then we have no problem supporting you as the sect master. But if you want to give the foundation of the Taishan Sect to the Songshan Sect, then you are the eternal sinner of our Taishan Sect, and even if you die, you have no face to see the founder!"

Tiansong drew the long sword from his waist and pointed it at Yujizi and the others.

"The Five Mountains merge into the Five Mountains Sect. Not only will the Taishan Sect be removed from the list, but the Songshan Sect is no exception. Doesn't the word 'Five Mountains' in the Five Mountains Sect include Taishan? What's wrong with that?"

Zuo Lengchan watched the people of the Taishan Sect biting each other and showed a triumphant smile.

He wanted to merge the sects and didn't need to take action himself; naturally, there were lackeys willing to charge for him.
