Chapter 226

There are only the Bright Left Envoy Xiang Wentian and the White Tiger Hall Elder Shangguan Yun who are existences of the Carefree Heaven Realm.

Then there are the experts of the Mortal Diamond Realm and the Free Earth Realm; the Sun Moon Divine Sect is also far behind the Five Mountains Sword Sects in terms of numbers.

The Five Mountains Sword Sects are, after all, formed by an alliance of five sects.

Although a single sect cannot compare to the Sun Moon Divine Sect, when the five sects are combined, whether it be the experts of the Carefree Heaven Realm or the ordinary martial artists of the Mortal and Earth Realms, they are far beyond what the Sun Moon Divine Sect can compare to.

Therefore.

If it were truly as Jiang Chen said, to go up and fight directly.

Then even if the Sun Moon Divine Sect could win in the end, it would be a pyrrhic victory, and who knows how many disciples under their banner would die.

In this place called the Great Ming Jianghu where forces are intricately intertwined.

If a sect suffers heavy damage, it is very easy to arouse the covetousness of other sects; one careless move, and there would be the danger of being exterminated.

"What about your Sun Moon Divine Sect's Ren Woxing?"

Listening to Dongfang Bubai's explanation, Jiang Chen asked with some curiosity: "That Ren Woxing's strength should at least be in the Great Carefree Realm, right?"

"Sect Leader Ren suffered a Qi deviation while cultivating the Star-Sucking Great Art."

Jiang Chen heard this.

His eyes widened instantly: "Then this position of Sun Moon Divine Sect Leader wasn't snatched by you from Ren Woxing, was it?"

"What do you mean snatched?"

"Sect Leader Ren treated me well, and even allowed me to cultivate the sect's supreme divine art, the Sunflower Manual; how could I possibly snatch the position of Sect Leader?"

Dongfang Bubai blinked innocently and said with dissatisfaction: "Young Master Jiang, in your eyes, am I that kind of person?"

And hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Lian Xing, who was to the side, could not help but giggle:

"Young Master, Sister Dongfang is not that kind of person. The reason the position of Sect Leader fell onto Sister Dongfang's head..."

"Is because Sect Leader Ren felt his strength had fallen and he could not suppress the disciples within the sect, and coupled with the fact that Sister Dongfang's strength increased greatly after cultivating the Sunflower Manual, breaking through to the late stage of the Great Carefree Realm in just a few years, Sect Leader Ren passed the position of Sect Leader to Sister Dongfang."

"I see." Jiang Chen suddenly realized.

No need to ask.

The development trajectory of the Sun Moon Divine Sect in this world has clearly deviated from the one in his memory.

Moreover.

Listening to Lian Xing's meaning.

It seems there are no side effects for Dongfang Bubai to cultivate this Sunflower Manual as a woman.

Immediately following.

Jiang Chen asked again:

"I've heard that the Purple Mist Divine Art is an introductory level, while the Sunflower Manual is the pinnacle; is that Yue Buqun of the Five Mountains Sword Sects cultivating the Purple Mist Divine Art?"

"Yes."

Dongfang Bubai nodded, looking at Jiang Chen with some surprise.

She discovered that although the other party is a disciple of Xueyue City in the Northern Li Imperial Realm, he seems to be extremely knowledgeable about matters in the Great Ming Jianghu.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment.

Then, looking at Dongfang Bubai, he smiled faintly: "I will teach you a way to deal with the Five Mountains Sword Sects."

"What way?"

Dongfang Bubai looked at Jiang Chen with some surprise.

Since she became the Sect Leader of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, it can be said that she has been having a headache over the affairs of the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

"If I haven't guessed wrong, the reason the Five Mountains Sword Sects have always wanted to deal with your Sun Moon Divine Sect is for your Sun Moon Divine Sect's two supreme martial arts, the Star-Sucking Great Art and the Sunflower Manual, right?"

"To be precise, it should be for the Star-Sucking Great Art."

Hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Dongfang Bubai's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "As for the Sunflower Manual, although it has been rumored in the outside world that it was obtained by our Sun Moon Divine Sect, in fact, they are not entirely certain, because Sect Leader Ren walked the Jianghu for many years relying not on the Sunflower Manual, but on the Star-Sucking Great Art."

"And within my Sun Moon Divine Sect, only Sect Leader Ren, myself, and Sect Leader Ren's daughter Ren Yingying know about the Sunflower Manual; logically speaking, it is impossible for it to have been leaked out."

Jiang Chen heard this, glanced at Dongfang Bubai, and smiled faintly:

"Since there is a rumor that the Sun Moon Divine Sect possesses the Sunflower Manual, then it is worth the Five Mountains Sword Sects taking action."

Others might not know.

But Jiang Chen knows that Yue Buqun has actually been secretly cultivating the Evil-Warding Sword Manual.

And the Evil-Warding Sword Manual is a sword technique realized from the fragments of the Sunflower Manual.

Then, after tasting the sweetness of the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, Yue Buqun will inevitably try every possible way to find the Sunflower Manual.

Thinking of this.

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Since in terms of comprehensive strength, the Sun Moon Divine Sect is not a match for the Five Mountains Sword Sects, then you can make the Five Mountains Sword Sects fight among themselves."

"Fight among themselves?"

Dongfang Bubai was stunned.

"Yes, that is, internal strife."

"The Five Mountains Sword Sects are formed by an alliance of five sects: Mount Tai, Mount Chong, Mount Heng, Mount Heng, and Huashan."

Jiang Chen said faintly: "Although these five sects look like they are in harmony, I believe the leaders of these five sects all have, more or less, the idea of usurping the position of the Five Mountains Sword Sects' leader in their hearts."

"Especially Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun of the Mount Chong Sect and Huashan Sect; this must be even more so."

"Yue Buqun?"

Hearing Jiang Chen's words.

Lian Xing could not help but ask in confusion: "I have heard that this Yue Buqun is a person of upright character throughout his life, quite cultured, usually very fond of making friends, and as the leader of the Huashan Sect, he never puts on an air of being superior to others; therefore, he even has the reputation of the 'Gentleman Sword' in the Jianghu."

"Does such a person also fight for the position of the Five Mountains Sword Sects' leader?"

Yao Yue and Dongfang Bubai also looked at Jiang Chen with confusion.

Regarding Yue Buqun's image as a humble gentleman, it is something witnessed by all throughout the Great Ming Jianghu.

"That is nothing but a facade he uses to deceive everyone."

A look of mockery appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes: "In reality, this person is not only vicious and ruthless, hiding a knife in his smile, but in secret, he is just a hypocrite who kills without blinking and recognizes no kin."

The few heard this.

And immediately showed expressions of surprise.

Lian Xing looked at Jiang Chen with amazement: "Young Master, how do you know this?"

Regarding Jiang Chen's words.

She naturally believes them.

Since Jiang Chen says Yue Buqun is a hypocrite, then the other party is undoubtedly a hypocrite.

It is just that Lian Xing does not understand.

The entire Great Ming Jianghu has been deceived by Yue Buqun, yet Jiang Chen, who is in Xueyue City, is able to know Yue Buqun's true face.

Jiang Chen blinked at Lian Xing: "Have you forgotten what I do?"

"Aren't you a divine doctor?"

Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue looked at Jiang Chen with confusion.

However.

Lian Xing seemed to have thought of something.

She suddenly saw her eyes light up, and then she looked at the two and giggled: "I remember now, Young Master can also tell fortunes."

"Tell fortunes?"

Dongfang Bubai and Yao Yue widened their eyes and looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen ignored their surprised gazes and instead smiled at Dongfang Bubai: "Miss Dongfang, do you remember I just said I would teach you a way to deal with the Five Mountains Sword Sects?"

"What way?"

"Of course, it is to sow discord between Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun."

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "After you go back, you can arrange for the Sun Moon Divine Sect's disciples to secretly spread the news that Yue Buqun possesses the supreme sword technique, the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, and has already cultivated it to a minor success."

The Evil-Warding Sword Manual?!

Dongfang Bubai has, of course, heard of the Evil-Warding Sword Manual.

Even Yao Yue and Lian Xing have heard of this sword manual.

"Hasn't the Evil-Warding Sword Manual been lost for a long time?"

Dongfang Bubai's delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she could not help but speak: "Moreover, doing this should be useless, right? After all, as long as Yue Buqun doesn't admit it, no one can prove he cultivated the Evil-Warding Sword Manual." ===== CHAPTER 227 =====
