Chapter 986

Liaofan had long since sobered up from the joy of being able to avenge his junior brother Liaokong and promote Shaolin's prestige.

Now he couldn't wait to hold the Slaughter Blade Conference as soon as possible, bring Guihai Yidao to justice, and have these Wu Lin people get off the mountain quickly.

But everything now was already beyond the control of Liaofan alone.

At least the initiative of when to hold the Slaughter Blade Conference was already in Cao Zhengchun's hands.

At this moment, Cao Zhengchun was hiding behind the shadows of the trees; if one's eyesight were not extraordinary, one would fear they wouldn't even see him.

When Liaofan was speaking, Cao Zhengchun was patrolling the Wu Lin people on the mountain path with a group of Eastern Depot experts.

He didn't pay any attention to Liaofan's anxiety at all.

Seeing Cao Zhengchun only focusing on watching people, Liaofan was both anxious and angry, but helpless.

He had to speak again,

"Superintendent, Superintendent..."

"Alright, alright."

Cao Zhengchun was also left speechless by this old monk and could only put aside his worries for the time being.

He first said to experts like Iron Claw Flying Eagle,

"You all keep a close eye on it for me; if you let her run away, you can all get out of the Eastern Depot."

"As you command..."

Eastern Depot experts like Iron Claw Flying Eagle naturally knew who Cao Zhengchun was hiding here for, and they all listened respectfully.

When they peeked again, they seemed even more attentive than before.

Cao Zhengchun saw this, then withdrew his gaze and said slowly to Liaofan,

"Master Liaofan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime grand event; as long as enough Wu Lin people come, Shaolin's prestige will spread even further."

"When you kill Guihai Yidao in public, you will lose face for Zhu Tie-dan."

"At that time, your Shaolin's prestige will be at its peak."

"Your name, Liaofan, will be enshrined forever in Shaolin's Heart Zen Hall, to be admired by future generations."

"Master Liaofan, don't you want such honor?"

"Why be so impatient."

Before persuading Master Liaofan to hold the Slaughter Blade Conference, Cao Zhengchun used this set of rhetoric.

In the past, the eight great sects of the Wu Lin were nearly destroyed because of the battle with the Invincible Urchin.

Even Shaolin suffered a not-so-small blow.

As a result, the Wu Lin withered, and instead, the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis and Eastern Depot's Cao Zhengchun in the court rose abruptly, expanding their influence.

This Slaughter Blade Conference was actually an opportunity for traditional Wu Lin sects like Shaolin to regain their voice in the Jianghu from the court.

Coincidentally, Cao Zhengchun, in order to strike at the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis, pushed it from behind, which was why such a great momentum was created.

At first, Liaofan was naturally overjoyed.

If the matter could be accomplished, he would be the most outstanding leader of Shaolin in a hundred years.

But now that the situation had reached this point, it was vaguely out of control.

Liaofan didn't dare to wait any longer and could only say,

"Superintendent, thank you for considering Shaolin."

"At present, including Emei and Wudang, the eight great sects of the Wu Lin righteous path have all arrived."

"Whether the other minor details come or not is of no consequence."

"Therefore, I think now is the time to hold the Slaughter Blade Conference; the timing is ripe."

"No!"

Cao Zhengchun immediately shook his head and said,

"Zhu Tie-dan hasn't arrived yet."

Actually, not to mention Cao Zhengchun himself, even Liaofan knew he wasn't waiting for Zhu Tie-dan.

Guihai Yidao suddenly returned to the case and didn't resist at all throughout the process.

Cao Zhengchun deduced that this was a smoke bomb laid by Zhu Tie-dan.

But Cao Zhengchun actually didn't care about these things.

This Slaughter Blade Conference was indeed aimed at the Iron-Gall Godly Marquis at first.

But now, the purpose had long since changed.

He was actively pushing it now, just for one person—Zhou Zhiruo!

Or rather, he only wanted the precious sword in Zhou Zhiruo's hand now!

Although he didn't know the origin of that precious sword, nor its name, etc.

But Cao Zhengchun could clearly feel that if he could get that sword,

he wouldn't need to talk about Zhu Tie-dan, even if the Invincible Urchin or the Tianchi Freak really appeared,

he could rely on this precious sword to defeat them all.

In other words, as long as he obtained this precious sword, he, Cao Zhengchun, would be invincible in the world!

So he deliberately hid on the mountain path that must be taken to go up to Shaolin this time, waiting for Zhou Zhiruo to appear!

Once Zhou Zhiruo appeared, he would have a chance to seize that precious sword.

Everything else was no longer important.

That was why he kept delaying the start time of the Slaughter Blade Conference, just to wait.

"But..."

How could Liaofan not know Cao Zhengchun's thoughts?

He muttered to himself, not knowing why this Cao Zhengchun, a eunuch, cared so much about a young girl.

You don't even have that equipment anymore, okay?

It was truly incomprehensible.

If Cao Zhengchun knew that Liaofan was arranging him like this in his heart, he would fear he would want to slap this old monk to death with one palm.

Just as Liaofan was racking his brains, thinking about how to force Cao Zhengchun to agree to open the Slaughter Blade Conference,

suddenly he saw a figure on the mountain path coming down quickly from the mountain, heading rapidly toward the foot of the mountain.

The Wu Lin people on the way saw it and retreated three steps.

"Why is she going down the mountain?"

Cao Zhengchun frowned and pondered when he saw this movement.

While Cao Zhengchun was thinking, he saw that person's figure was agile and had already reached the middle of the mountain.

After crossing the Sword-Unsheathing Hall, her figure flickered, and she accelerated again.

After a few leaps, she had already reached the end of the mountain path.

"Ah... she's here, she's here! Superintendent, she has appeared!"

Just as Cao Zhengchun's eyes were drifting with that person, Iron Claw Flying Eagle suddenly screamed with joy.

Cao Zhengchun heard this and immediately looked in the direction of the sound, finding that the person he was concerned about was meeting another person.

"Zhou Zhiruo!"

Seeing the other person's appearance, Cao Zhengchun's pupils shrank, and he was so happy he almost rushed out from behind the tree shadows.

Indeed, the one who came down to meet from Mount Shaoshi was the Emei Sect Leader, Master Yeyu.

At this moment, she was meeting Zhou Zhiruo at the foot of the mountain.

The two had a large age gap, but they stood together, chatting and laughing.

The passing Wu Lin people saw that it was the Emei Sect Leader, so how could they dare to go up and chatter.

They just felt strange in their hearts, why was the Emei Sect Leader so easy to talk to?

And who was this beauty chatting with her?

Not only was she unbelievably young, but she was also born so beautiful.

For a time, the passing Wu Lin people were all confused.

Cao Zhengchun and the Eastern Depot experts hiding in the tree shadows were even more unable to suppress their joy.

"Superintendent, should we make a move immediately?"

Iron Claw Flying Eagle asked eagerly. ===== CHAPTER 987 =====
