Chapter 115

Why is it said that for a dynasty, besides the Emperor, it is necessary to establish a Crown Prince, and that this is the foundation of the country?

It is because one fears that if the Emperor suddenly passes away without warning, there will inevitably be a terrible struggle to compete for the throne!

And the situation of this Ming Sect is exactly like that!

Since the disappearance of the previous Sect Leader Yang Dingtian, this Ming Sect has been in a state of having no leader, and some high-ranking members of the Ming Sect have wanted to compete for this Sect Leader position, to the extent that the Ming Sect has split apart, and they do not submit to each other!

On the surface, it looks like Yang Xiao and the others are fighting head-on because of the issue of Li Lianhua's stay or departure!

But in reality, the contradictions between them had long reached a point where they were difficult to reconcile; the issue of Li Lianhua's stay or departure was merely a trigger!

And Jiang Hu people, starting from a verbal dispute, naturally evolved into a state of physical fighting in the end!

Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao joined forces, while opposite them were three of the Five Wanderers!

Although it was two against three, Yang Xiao and the others not only did not fall into a disadvantage but instead appeared to have the upper hand!

"Hmm, the power of this Ming Sect is indeed extraordinary; the Five Wanderers all have the combat power of the peak Innate Realm, while Yang Xiao is at the Master Realm!"

Li Lianhua had no intention of intervening in their internal strife from the side, but merely watched their melee and commented silently!

It seemed they were fighting over his stay or departure, but Li Lianhua was familiar with the original plot, so he understood that he was merely a trigger!

This internal strife of the Ming Sect was the Ming Sect's own family business; Li Lianhua naturally would not intervene!

Thus, the two sides fought back and forth for over a hundred moves, finally evolving into a competition of internal energy!

As for the competition of internal energy?

Although this was dangerous, for Yang Xiao, it could be said to be exactly what he wanted!

"What is going on? Why is our internal energy being drawn back?"

Feeling the endless stream of internal energy surging from Yang Xiao's side, most of which was actually his own internal energy, Zhou Dian asked in surprise!

"This—could this be..." The Cloth-Bag Monk Shuobude suddenly realized something and shouted in surprise!

"Great Shift of Heaven and Earth!"

Yang Xiao could not hide a bit of smugness on his face and said: "Thanks to the late Sect Leader Yang for his trust during his lifetime, he taught me some cultivation manuals regarding the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth; I, Yang, am incompetent and have only practiced the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth to the second layer!"

Hearing Yang Xiao's words, Zhou Dian and the others all fell silent, and their expressions became very ugly!

The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth was the Ming Sect's town-sect divine art, which only the Sect Leader could practice!

Since Yang Xiao had received the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth taught by the Sect Leader, if one were to say there was no thought of letting Yang Xiao succeed as Sect Leader, it would be hard to justify!

Furthermore, below the Sect Leader, the identity of the two Xiaoyao Immortals was indeed the highest!

If one were to say who the most powerful competitor for this Sect Leader position was, Yang Xiao first had the identity of the Bright Left Envoy, and later had the martial arts of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth; he was indeed more competitive than the others!

However, having fought for so many years, even if Zhou Dian and the others understood this principle, they were unwilling to easily acknowledge Yang Xiao's position as Sect Leader!

Seeing Yang Xiao and the others fighting internally, having reached the dangerous stage of competing internal energy, Li Lianhua still had no intention of intervening.

Under his perception, the breathing of the person hiding in the dark seemed to have become much heavier.

Clearly, he could not hold back anymore!

Sure enough, Li Lianhua's guess was not wrong; seeing Yang Xiao and the others in the stage of competing internal energy, having no ability to act, an extremely arrogant laughter rang out, and immediately after, a middle-aged monk suddenly walked out!

"Tsk tsk tsk, Bright Left Envoy Yang Xiao, Azure-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao, and the Cloth-Bag Monk, the Cold-Faced Mr., Zhou Dian; these are all high-ranking members of the Ming Sect!"

"I never expected, never expected that Heaven would treat me so well, giving me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to wipe you all out in one go!"

"Hahaha, from now on, this Ming Sect will be reduced to ashes!"

With a look of having victory in his grasp, the monk who jumped out clearly already regarded Yang Xiao and these people as turtles in a jar!

As for Li Lianhua?

Just a young man in his twenties; even if he started practicing martial arts in his mother's womb, how much internal energy could he have? Presumably, this was just a junior of the Ming Sect, right?

From beginning to end, he was not taken seriously by him!

"You—you are the bald donkey from the Shaolin Temple; how could you appear here?" Seeing this monk who jumped out, Wei Yixiao and the others were incredulous!

At the critical juncture of the Six Great Sects besieging Bright Peak, this Bright Peak could be said to have a guard every three steps and a sentry every five steps, like an iron bucket!

Yet, suddenly, a bald donkey from the Shaolin Temple had actually appeared on Bright Peak? This naturally made people feel incredulous!

"I appeared here; is there anything strange about that? Naturally, I came up from your Ming Sect's secret passage!" Feeling that Yang Xiao and the others were now turtles in a jar, this middle-aged monk was not in a hurry to make a move at all!

Looking at Watching Cheng Kun's appearance, Li Lianhua shook his head silently from the side!

The law that villains die from talking too much was indeed very applicable in many places!

Watching Cheng Kun's hatred for the Ming Sect was engraved in his bones!

The purpose of his lifelong planning had only one point, and that was to destroy the Ming Sect!

Now, the momentum of the Six Great Sects besieging Bright Peak had been formed! And Yang Xiao and these high-ranking members of the Ming Sect had all fought internally to this point; he could kill them with a mere effort of his hand!

With this long-cherished wish of many years about to be achieved, Watching Cheng Kun naturally was unwilling to let Yang Xiao and the others die so easily!

He not only wanted to kill people but also wanted to punish their hearts!

Sure enough, hearing Watching Cheng Kun's words, Yang Xiao and the others were all greatly alarmed.

"My Ming Sect's secret passage has always been something only the Sect Leader could walk; even we have never entered it!"

"You—you bald donkey, spouting your mother's five-spice spicy farts; how could you walk it!"
