Chapter 24

He hadn't expected it.

His own senior brother, the abbot, was actually this sinister.

He intended to unite the major sects of the Great Ming to march up Mount Wudang and force a coup.

And he had even picked the date to be Zhang Sanfeng's birthday.

This was a case of not stopping until he'd stoked the other party's fire!

Although it was for the sake of Yunzhou Shaolin Temple's prestige.

For hundreds of years, Yunzhou Shaolin Temple had suppressed countless Wulinmen Sect.

But a method like this, one that repeatedly danced on someone else's bottom line.

To tell the truth.

This really was the first time he had seen it.

Weren't they afraid of overplaying their hand?

It seemed Abbot Kongwen had guessed his thoughts.

He only saw Abbot Kongwen chuckle lightly, lower his voice mysteriously.

"No need to overthink."

"Just put your heart back in your stomach."

"That one has already come out of seclusion, and besides, we still have allies!"

That one? Allies?

Kongjian stared at him, utterly bewildered.

His head was full of fog.

"If you can't figure it out, then stop trying."

"Anyway, you just need to remember that the jianghu of the Great Ming only needs one voice."

"Alright, go attend to your duties."

"Remember, you must spread the news to every Men Sect!"

Seeing he still hadn't reacted.

Abbot Kongwen waved his hand and said no more.

Seeing this.

Although curious, Kongjian tactfully refrained from pressing further.

He respectfully acknowledged, rose, and left.

…………

Great Qin, Xianyanggong.

After a cursory glance at the contents of the Heavenly Dao Golden List.

Hearing Ying Zheng turned his gaze to the side.

"National Preceptor, has your leader divined any information on Ximen Wudi and the Qinglong Society?"

Yes.

That's right!

Compared to Zhang Sanfeng.

At this moment, what Hearing Ying Zheng cared about even more was Ximen Wudi and the Qinglong Society!

Especially after learning of the matter on Black Wood Cliff.

Although until now.

Only three members of the entire Qinglong Society had appeared before the world.

But judging from the known information.

The Qinglong Society was absolutely the most mysterious and most powerful existence among the countless forces of the Nine Provinces Continent!

Not to mention how terrifying Ximen Wudi, the Great Dragon Head, actually was.

Just Master Hua Xi, codenamed November, and Li Canghai, codenamed May, alone were enough to draw his attention!

After all.

These were two existences of the Earthly Immortal Realm!!

What kind of force could possess members of such exaggerated strength?!

Most importantly of all.

This was still merely the Bingshan of the Qinglong Society!

How many truly terrifying existences there were remained, until now, a mystery!

But based on the known information to extrapolate.

Eleventh Hall Master - Master Hua Xi, early-stage Earthly Immortal.

Fifth Hall Master - Li Canghai, suspected to be of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Then.

Based on this.

Weren't the previous bold speculations that the Qinglong Society's eleven halls meant eleven Earthly Immortal Realm experts now confirmed?

Not to mention, no one knew whether the Qinglong Society had other divisions.

Additionally.

Such a terrifying force had never appeared before the eyes of the world.

To say there was no scheme or calculation behind it.

I'm afraid even a fool wouldn't believe it!

So it is.

Naturally, he was eager to know everything about the Qinglong Society and Ximen Wudi!

It wasn't that he feared them.

On the contrary.

As an emperor with grand ambitions and the spirit of a tiger that could swallow ten thousand li in one gulp,

he wouldn't be so petty as to lack even this much tolerance for others.

The reason he was so anxious to learn about Ximen Wudi and the Qinglong Society

was mainly because he was wondering whether he could bring them under his command.

Even if he couldn't, even mere cooperation

would be no small boost to his future unification of the realm!

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"When the leader was divining, not only did he gain nothing, he even suffered a severe backlash!"

"Before entering closed-door cultivation to heal, the leader had me pass on a message to you."

Moon God explained, bowing slightly to apologize.

But when she recalled the words Lord Donghuang Taiyi had entrusted to her, her heart filled with curiosity.

"Oh? Really? What words?"

Hearing Ying Zheng paused for a moment, then asked.

"He… he said this one and the Qinglong Society hold a great terror; unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to provoke them. Remember this, remember this!"

Moon God hesitated.

She faithfully repeated Lord Donghuang Taiyi's exact words.

"Interesting, interesting!"

"Hearing you put it that way, this lone ruler is all the more curious."

A trace of solemnity flashed swiftly through Hearing Ying Zheng's eyes.

His curiosity about Ximen Wudi and the Qinglong Society not only did not lessen, but grew all the heavier.

He simply did not show it on his face.

Great Yuan, Imperial Court.

"Heh~ so this is the so-called number one person of Great Ming?"

"Looks like nothing special either!"
