The hustle and bustle on Mingshan Mountain was gone yesterday. The sword trial meeting ended two days ago, two days shorter than originally expected.
Don't ask, it's just that this sword test meeting is different from the past. Although there are few casual cultivators and small sects who can show off their skills on the stage this time, the excitement behind it is worthwhile.
Many people, especially casual cultivators, never thought that the secret fighting in the sect would be so superficial. For a moment, I felt a sense of secret joy and surprise when I opened the corner of my clothes and peeked out.
Because the people of the small sect were in it, what they saw and experienced was far more thorough and profound than outsiders such as casual cultivators, but they were unable to participate and nervously waited for the results of the hustle and bustle. At the same time, he was also worried about whether he would be harmed by Chi Yu in the sect circle in the future.
Of course, the battle between the big sect and the two super sects seemed to have a winner in the end, but it seemed like there was no winner or loser. It was very confusing. It even made people feel that it was a mess inside, and it was caused by someone who shouldn't have appeared. People are so mixed up that they can't find any clue to solve it.
...
September 13th, Fenghong Villa, Zhengyun Hall.
"So the major sects and the two super sects did not come up with a conclusion in the final sword test conference?"
Yang Xiu Sheng put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Shen Hao, who was sitting opposite him with a straight back, full of curiosity. It seemed that this boy who seemed to be as submissive as ever had a huge secret hidden in him, which gave him the urge to dig out. . At the same time, there was also a sense of trance, and it was difficult to connect this submissive man with the domineering thug on Mingshan who stirred up the sects in the world.
The news that came back from Jinjian Camp two days ago made Yang Xiusheng's first reaction that it was a fake thing. Even now, Yang Xiu Sheng still feels that this matter is unreal and false.
"Yes, Master, although the major sects have won the Earth Ranking, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect in the final Tianbang still have a clear advantage, winning the first four seats, and the last five seats were taken by the major sects. Walk."
Shen Hao didn't say it, but Yang Xiusheng understood that the name in the middle spot on the list was taken by Shen Hao.
"Later, at the final banquet of the Sword Trial Conference, the representatives of the major sects once again expressed their demands, hoping that Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect could include them in the current agreements for lower-level sects, or completely terminate those agreements and bring everything to an end. It’s all back to the past.”
"People from Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect will definitely not spit out the meat they eat."
"Yes, as the village owner said, Yang Wanli directly rejected the request of the big sects. He also reiterated again and again that the current agreement with the lower-level sects was not a "co-optation" but an attempt to harass the lower-level sects. Help. And Yang Wanli made it clear that anyone who dares to interfere will disturb the stability of the sect circle and will be punished according to the rules."
"Punishment? Haha, it seems that Yang Wanli has really tasted the sweetness this time. He even said such words directly, indicating that he is not prepared to leave any room for maneuver." Yang Xiu Sheng laughed, as if he could imagine that in the Lingyun Palace of Mingshan Yang Wanli has a tough attitude when facing various major sects.
Shen Hao was also laughing. He was at the scene at the time. Looking back to this day, he still feels that the scene was quite joyful, like a sandcastle about to fall.
In the past few years, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect have held the agreement on "separation of investigation and punishment" signed with Fenghong Villa, and have actually controlled the right to intervene in the sect circle, and not only stayed at Fenghong Villa. On the level of "investigation" and "punishment", he took the initiative and used the term "self-examination" to get his hands into the affairs of other sects bit by bit.
After Shen Hao came back from the underground palace, Heishui specially asked Heishui to list and understand all the interference incidents of Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect in the past few years. To be honest, Shen Hao could feel the persistence of the two super sects in this kind of "interference", and even their desire for control was only a fig leaf.
Under such pressure, those large sects were not unresponsive, but all reactions were independent and never formed a joint force. They could only be annihilated under the pressure of the two super sects, and did not cause much trouble. storm.
There is another main reason for this, that is, after all, the word "punishment" is too far away from the word "management". No matter how long their hands are, the two super sects cannot really use "punishment" as an excuse to control each sect. die. It also made the major sects not feel the urgency of joining together.
It wasn't until Shen Hao returned that he came up with a way to sign an "employment agreement" with the lower-level sects in the face of the situation that the old Jing dynasty was ruined by evil monks, and by the way, Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan sect were brought in.
For Shen Hao, this solved the problem of the lack of power of the monks in his hands who were unable to deal with the large-scale evil spirits in various places.
For the lower-level sects, this gives them an additional source of high-return cultivation resources.
For Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect, this is equivalent to handing a rope into their hands, and the other end of the rope is tied around the neck of the big sect.
As for the major sects, they finally realized the imminent crisis.
Yang Xiusheng brought Shen Hao here today to get the bottom of things. It was also the first time that he talked face-to-face with Shen Hao about things in the sect circle. Shen Hao did a good job. He wanted to hear what Shen Hao planned next.
"In your opinion, will the two sides completely break up in the future?"
"Reporting to the village owner, the disciple thinks that although the possibility of a complete rupture is low, it is not impossible."
Yang Xiu Sheng was quite surprised when he heard this, and then asked: "Huh? Do you think the major sects really have the courage to take action against Wanjuan Shushan and Mingshan Sect? Can they withstand the strength of these two families?"
"Normally, it would be impossible to live and eat. But if we include external forces, that's not necessarily the case."
"External force? Are you talking about our Fenghong Villa?" When Yang Xiusheng heard the word "external force", he naturally thought of Fenghong Villa. After all, looking at the world now, who else can give those big sects more confidence except Fenghong Villa? ?
Shen Hao nodded and took the opportunity to tell his plan. Said: "Master, Fenghong Villa is a means for the Jingjiu Dynasty to stabilize the sect, a non-secular force. Naturally, we cannot watch the sect appear in a disorderly and chaotic state. It is also very useful to intervene at the appropriate time." It is necessary and in line with the needs of the Jingji Dynasty's own stability. As for how to intervene, how to intervene, and in what direction, it is up to Your Majesty to decide with you."
Yang Xiusheng leaned back. He did not expect that Shen Hao actually wanted to directly bring down Fenghong Villa and Jingjiu Dynasty. This was so unexpected and completely different from what Fenghong Villa had done over the years.
But what does this matter? Even this is what Yang Xiusheng has always wanted to see. Now the interior of Fenghong Villa has been pruned by Yang Xiusheng. In the two years when Shen Hao disappeared, there is only one voice inside and outside Fenghong Villa. It is time to try to change.
