The Songshan Sect and Hepai conferences are still going on.
Although the Shaolin Sect did not sit back and wait for death, but used some means, it is obvious that the Songshan Sect actually still has some initiative.
After all, Mei Guanlie still has hostages in his hands, so the Shaolin sect will still have some scruples. As for his senior brother Leng Tianxiang, without the support of the Shaolin Sect, he would not be able to make any big waves. The reason why Leng Tianxiang dared to go to the Songshan Sect to challenge him today was partly because of his strong martial arts skills, but more importantly, he must have the support of the Shaolin Sect. Otherwise, Leng Tianxiang has not returned to Songshan for so many years, but why did he suddenly join the Songshan sect at this time, and he also wants to join the sect in order to compete with himself for the position of leader.
Fortunately, with the cooperation of Dushouxia, Mei Guanlie injured Zen Master Xiu Ku first. Even though he was highly skilled in martial arts, it was still impossible for him to recover in just a moment. If Zen Master Xiu Ku was not injured, then his situation today would become a bit troublesome. Leng Tianxiang and the eminent monks of the Shaolin Temple are already very difficult to deal with. If there is another master who has extremely high martial arts skills, I am afraid that his chances of winning today will not be very good.
The matter that Dushouxia promised him has been settled, and he also invited the Shaolin monks to the Songshan Sect at Dushouxia's request. Although the two sects are not far apart, the eminent Shaolin monks were unable to return to the Shaolin Temple for a while because of the merger meeting. This gave Dushouxia the opportunity to enter the Shaolin Temple and rob people.
However, the people in Dushou Gorge didn't know much about Shaolin Temple, and they didn't have any informants inside. After blindly entering in this way, not only did they not succeed, but they fell into the trap.
However, the matter of Dushou Gorge and Shaolin Temple has nothing to do with Mei Guanlie. His primary goal now is to unite the faction and win the position of leader.
Mei Guanlie also did not expect that Master Wei Nian, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, an old monk, would actually play tricks on him and invite his senior brother who had been away from Songshan Sect for many years to deal with him. This was indeed far beyond his expectation, and it also caught him off guard.
However, the Shaolin Temple did not change its attitude and still agreed to merge the sect. And judging from the Shaolin Temple's intentions, the eminent monks had no intention of competing with themselves for the position of leader. They just changed someone to compete with them for the position of leader. No matter who wins this internal fight within the Songshan Sect, there is actually not much loss to the Shaolin Temple. From now on, as long as they agree and listen to the new leader's orders, everything on the books will be solved. At least the three factions combined into one faction can only exist in form in a short period of time. As several eminent Shaolin monks said, the Shaolin Sect, Tianxiang Clan and Songshan Sect are indeed three different sects, so it is still impossible to completely integrate them all at once.
Shaolin Temple did not regret it. Even though Mei Guanlie felt unhappy, he could not formally break his promise. After all, if they really fall out, with the current strength of the Songshan Sect, they won't be able to gain much advantage in a head-on fight with the Shaolin Sect.
At the Songshan sect merger meeting, Mei Guanlie lost his first opportunity. His eldest disciple was defeated by A Hai, a little man who was unknown in the world. Now, no one even knows the full name of this middle-aged man. They only know that Leng Tianxiang calls him Ah Hai, so everyone also calls him Ah Hai.
Ahai's martial arts is strong and stable, and he has the demeanor of a master. Mei Guanlie saw it himself and was convinced of his defeat. Hua Qian was proud and arrogant, but there was nothing he could do because his master had already given in and persuaded him to quit.
"Qing Gan, you go and learn from your senior fellow apprentice!" Mei Guanlie naturally disdained to fight against his junior, so he asked Qing Gan to fight again.
In fact, he is also very dissatisfied with the behavior of Shaolin Temple, but the alliance conference is still going on. If he turns against him, the alliance conference will be suspended immediately. This is what he never wants to see. He spent so much effort and just wanted to merge with the Shaolin sect, so he would never allow the merger meeting to be interrupted.
Anyway, the Tianxiang Gang is here too, so we simply let them attend the conference together. As long as he wins the position of head of the Songshan Shaolin Sect, then both his senior brothers and those bald donkeys in the Shaolin Temple will have to obey his orders. At that time, there will be revenge for revenge, injustice for injustice, new and old grudges, and they will be settled with him slowly.
In the final analysis, in the martial arts world, martial arts still have to speak for itself. Whoever has good martial arts skills and strong fists will be the most confident in speaking.
In the past, the martial arts skills of Mei Guanlie and Leng Tianxiang were actually between brothers, and it was difficult to distinguish between them. But things are different now. It took me twenty years to finally master the Songyang Divine Sword, and my skill is no longer comparable to what it used to be.
But Mei Guanlie thought again that since Leng Tianxiang dared to come, he was well prepared and had confidence in his martial arts. Now that he has received the news, he must know that he has mastered the Songyang Divine Sword. Although the two of them came from the same family, they had not seen each other for nearly thirty years.
Therefore, they actually no longer understand each other's martial arts. Neither side understands it, so the one who strikes first will immediately reveal the truth.
Mei Guanlie originally wanted his disciple Hua Qian to test Leng Tianxiang's martial arts, but he did not expect that Leng Tianxiang also saw his conspiracy and did not take action for the time being. Instead, he asked his disciple A Hai to fight instead. Although Ah Hai is unknown, his martial arts skills are not bad, and he actually defeated Hua Qian, which made Mei Guanlie lose face again.
Qing Gan and Hua Qian's martial arts are actually similar in style, and both are known for their ferocity. It's just that Qing Qian is much more low-key than Hua Qian. He was always taciturn, and even those who knew him well would not see him say more than a few words in a year. Everyone thinks that he is the least talkative person among the people they know. If you were an outsider, you might think he was mute when you first came into contact with him.
However, he is not mute after all, but just very taciturn. No one understands such a person, and no one knows what he is thinking. They only know that he will bury all his thoughts deep in his heart.
"Junior Brother Qinggan, be careful!" Ah Hai wanted to speak, so he said politely.
However, Qing Gan just nodded and ignored him. Instead, he slowly drew out his sword, only acting as a gateway and not in a hurry to attack.
It seems that senior brother Hua Qian's defeat just now has given Qing Qian some inspiration. Therefore, Qing Qian did not dare to advance any further and only waited for Ah Hai to attack.
Of course, from a character point of view, Qing Qian is indeed more stable than Hua Qian. At least Qing Qian will not be as self-aware and arrogant as Hua Qian. He is very careful when facing all enemies and will not be careless at all. Otherwise, he would not have been able to successfully attack Zen Master Xiu Ku.
