Chapter 255

Zuo Lengchan would not say anything.

However, he knew that the appearance Yue Buqun showed in front of outsiders now was all put on.

It is just that.

No matter how he explained it to Daoist Tianmen and the others, not one person believed him.

Zuo Lengchan knew.

If Yue Buqun were truly allowed to become the Sect Leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, he did not know what the outcome for the other three sects would be, but he understood that Yue Buqun would inevitably suppress his Chongshan Sect in secret.

After all, some of the things he did in secret could not be hidden from the other party at all.

Daoist Tianmen heard this and could not help but sigh.

Regarding Zuo Lengchan's personality, he naturally knew it too; the other party not only had Wu Gong not much weaker than Yue Buqun's, but most importantly, Zuo Lengchan was extremely obsessed with power.

In Daoist Tianmen's view.

Zuo Lengchan's personality was fundamentally unsuitable to be the Sect Leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

On the side.

Master Mo Da and Abbess Dingxian did not speak.

One of them was not interested in power and did not care who became the Sect Leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and the other, although she opposed the merger of the Five Mountains Sect in her heart, also knew that the merger was a general trend and could not be stopped by her Hengshan Sect alone.

However.

Compared to Zuo Lengchan, the two of them still hoped that the righteous Yue Buqun would become the Sect Leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Just at this moment.

A middle-aged man who looked as handsome as jade, humble and elegant, with a five-willow beard under his cheeks, and holding a paper fan, walked slowly from outside the hall.

"I am truly sorry; I had something to do at the back mountain just now, making everyone wait for a long time."

Looking at Zuo Lengchan and the others.

Before even walking into the main hall, Yue Buqun had already revealed an apologetic expression.

"Something to do at the back mountain?"

Zuo Lengchan sneered: "Sect Leader Yue wouldn't be secretly practicing some peerless Wu Gong alone at the back mountain, would he?"

"Sect Leader Zuo is joking."

Facing Zuo Lengchan's cold sarcasm.

Yue Buqun was not annoyed, just smiling and shaking his folding fan lightly, then said loudly: "Sect Leader Zuo wouldn't really believe those rumors in the Jianghu, would you?"

"If I had really practiced that legendary Evil-Warding Sword Manual, how could our Five Mountains Sword Sect have failed to destroy that Demon Sect for so long?"

Hearing Yue Buqun's words.

Daoist Tianmen immediately said: "That's right; Sect Leader Yue's character is obvious to all in the entire Jianghu, how could he practice such evil arts."

"In my opinion, this must be the people of the Demon Sect deliberately provoking the relationship between our Five Mountains Sword Sect; we must never fall for the Demon Sect's dirty tricks!"

"Daoist Tianmen, I didn't say that Sect Leader Yue definitely practiced the Evil-Warding Sword Manual."

Zuo Lengchan said faintly: "But our Five Mountains Sword Sect is a recognized righteous sect in the Jianghu; if we don't clarify this matter, how will other sects view us?"

"You all shouldn't have forgotten why the Sun Moon Divine Sect is called the Demon Sect, right?"

Speaking of this.

He looked at Daoist Tianmen and the others, a smile appearing on his face: "So, in order to give an explanation to other sects in the Jianghu, shouldn't we let Sect Leader Yue produce evidence to prove that he has not practiced the Evil-Warding Sword Manual?"

Hearing Zuo Lengchan's words.

Except for Daoist Tianmen, Master Mo Da and Abbess Dingxian were both somewhat moved.

It was not that the two of them did not believe Yue Buqun.

It was because they did not want to merge in the first place.

At the same time.

Both knew that Yue Buqun would definitely not agree to Zuo Lengchan's request.

After all, this is not a glorious thing.

If Yue Buqun really proved himself, then regardless of whether the other party practiced it or not, he would lose all face in the Jianghu.

Yue Buqun clearly would not agree to Zuo Lengchan's request.

Sure enough.

Just at this moment.

Yue Buqun spoke, and the smile on his face had already disappeared: "Sect Leader Zuo, let alone that I have not practiced the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, even if I had truly practiced it, I could not agree to your request; otherwise, how would friends in the Jianghu view me, Yue Buqun?"

Hearing Yue Buqun's words.

Daoist Tianmen and the others were not surprised.

Such a request.

As long as one is a normal person, they would not agree.

"Hehe~"

Zuo Lengchan smiled faintly: "Since that is the case, then I don't think there is any need for the Five Mountains Sword Sect to merge; I don't want my Chongshan Sect to be labeled as an evil sect because of this matter."

Although he was extremely eager for power.

But since discovering Yue Buqun's true face, he no longer wanted the Five Mountains Sword Sect to merge.

Because he knew.

He could not defeat Yue Buqun; the other party hid too deeply, and now that he had encountered such a good opportunity, he naturally would not let it go.

Although the Five Mountains Sword Sect could not merge for the time being.

But as long as the Huashan Sect was kicked out, he would have plenty of opportunities to annex the other three sects in the future.

Hearing Zuo Lengchan's words.

A cold light flashed in Yue Buqun's eyes, but it was quickly hidden by him.

He was seen looking at Master Mo Da and Abbess Dingxian, his expression calm: "I wonder what you two think?"

Regarding Daoist Tianmen.

Yue Buqun knew that the other party certainly supported him.

Now the only uncertainty was the two sect leaders of the Hengshan Sect and the Hengshan Sect; regarding the thoughts of these two, he also knew a little bit.

At this moment.

Yue Buqun wanted to know if these two would still support him as before.

If it were still like before.

He would find a way to unite them and take this opportunity to kill Zuo Lengchan directly in this main hall.

The things Zuo Lengchan had done in secret against several sects over the years, others might not know, but he knew very clearly, and even collected quite a bit of evidence.

Hearing Yue Buqun's words.

Master Mo Da and Abbess Dingxian looked at each other.

Immediately after.

Abbess Dingxian was seen pondering for a moment, then speaking slowly:

"Although we also believe in Sect Leader Yue's character, what Sect Leader Zuo said is not without reason; the Sun Moon Divine Sect was nailed with the mark of a Demon Sect because of the Sunflower Manual."

"But I also know that if Sect Leader Yue were to prove his innocence, it would be equivalent to ruining your reputation and even the Huashan Sect's; so in my opinion, the matter of the Five Mountains Sword Sect merging must be considered in the long term; it will not be too late to discuss the merger after thinking of a countermeasure."

Hearing Abbess Dingxian say this.

Master Mo Da could not help but speak:

"I have the same meaning; after all, the original intention of our Five Mountains Sword Sect merging was to crusade against the Demon Sect, and looking at the current situation, even if we merge, it would be without a righteous cause."

Following Abbess Dingxian and Master Mo Da speaking one after another.

Daoist Tianmen, who was naturally fiery-tempered but lacked adaptability, was now also somewhat hesitant.

Because he discovered.

The words spoken by the two sect leaders, Master Mo Da and Abbess Dingxian, were actually very reasonable...

"I didn't expect that in order to prevent our Five Mountains Sword Sect from merging, the Demon Sect would actually come up with such a low-class method."

Yue Buqun looked at the few and once again revealed an apologetic look: "Since that is the case, then I will follow the wishes of the various Sect Leaders; speaking of which, it is also my fault for not having enough strength to eradicate the Demon Sect sooner, and now I have let you all suffer with me."

"Sect Leader Yue, you must never say that."

Hearing Yue Buqun's words, Daoist Tianmen immediately said: "How can this be blamed on you? It can only be said that the methods of the Demon Sect people are too despicable."

"Daoist Tianmen, you don't need to say anymore."

Yue Buqun sighed: "Actually, even if Sect Leader Zuo didn't mention postponing the merger of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, I would have mentioned it; after all, if we merged at such a time, wouldn't that be dragging you all into the water?"

Hearing Yue Buqun's words.
