It's not four factions, not two factions, but three factions. Chu Ge actually put a lot of thought into it.
There are seven sects from the Kunlun side branch: Xu Huang from the Liyang sect, Xie Ju from the Shaoling sect, Bu Yue from the Yuanrong sect, He Buping from the Yuxu sect, and Deng Yuantong from the Xiandu sect. Five of their leaders died in Jietian Ridge. Their bodies were not found. It was a fluke. The only ones who escaped death were Ji Hongru of the Pingyuan Sect and Han Chisong of the Xuantong Sect. On the back mountain of the Immortal City, there was still a great god who seemed to be aloof from the world, and that was the leader of the Gouyan Sect. Lu Wei, led by Lu, Ji, and Han, divided and annexed the four factions of Liyang, Shaoling, Yuanrong, and Yuxu. It was logical and sufficient to suppress all kinds of different opinions. This was one of them.
Secondly, the Xiandu sect is at Xianyun Peak, the Pingyuan sect is at Qianren Peak, and the Xuantong sect is at Dishuiya. They form an encirclement with Jietian Ridge, trapping Guimen Yuan in between, and they are connected vertically and horizontally, echoing each other from afar. , benefiting from the geographical convenience.
Thirdly, Han Chisong was born in the Five Elements Sect, and Ji Hongru had always been on the side of the Five Elements Sect. As for Ziyang Taoist's niece Lu Wei, Wei Shiqi and Qin Zhen were in the middle, and the side branches would only have one attitude and one voice, without Qin Zi's intervention. He Huo reluctantly intervened and looked ugly.
The goal that was expected to take five or six years to achieve was inadvertently cleared of obstacles and became a reality, but the price paid by the side factions was too high.
Rushing back to Yinliang Peak from the crypt, in just one stick of incense, Chu Ge thought a lot, and even considered the price that the direct line should pay in order to promote the merger. But if one person thinks short-term, there will always be something wrong. He just mentioned it, and the rest must be discussed in the long term.
Since Pu Tianwei, the head of Kunlun, has descended, there are three direct branches. The Five Elements Sect is headed by Chu Ge, the Sword Sect is headed by Mo Anchuan, and the Poison Sword Sect is headed by Shi Tiezhong. The four of them happen to be in Yinliang Peak. If they agree with each other, they are equivalent to elders. No one dared to comment on the meeting’s decision. It has to be said that Chu Ge's suggestion hit the mark. Mo Anchuan and Shi Tiezhong had no intention of intervening in side affairs, but they wanted to show their goodwill to Pu Tianwei, so they acquiesced to the merger.
It is said that the current leader is in the Five Elements Sect, and it is not appropriate for the Five Elements Sect members to be in charge of side branches, but there is a right to follow the affairs, and there is no need to go into details about these side branches.
The only thing left to do is to summon the disciples of the seven sects to discuss and supervise the matter. It will be a hard job, long-lasting, and extremely powerful. Pu Tianwei ordered Chu Ge to take charge of the overall situation. Five Elements Sect, Yujian Sect, and Poison Sword Sect With one person each as an assistant, the four of them discussed and decided to make a trip to the three elders Qin Zijie, Xu Yong, and Ximending.
Everyone dispersed, and Chu Ge sent the flying sword magic weapon storage bag and the four surviving branch disciples back to their respective sects one by one. The clouds of sorrow are thick and the sadness is destructive. Although the Taoist monks look down on life and death, they still have an unbearable feeling and are not exempt from the vulgarity.
Xianyun Peak is the last stop. After explaining the whole story to He Jingxian, Chu Ge went to the back mountain of Xianyun Peak. He met Lu Wei in the thatched cottage next to the bamboo forest.
After so many years, she is still dressed in palace attire, with picturesque features, calm and peaceful, and never fights for herself.
"You're here," she said.
Chu Ge knelt down in front of her, his eyes bright, and he stretched out his arms to touch her face, his movements were very frivolous. Lu Wei did not dodge, but looked at him quietly. Chu Ge's fingertips touched the warm skin, which was as smooth as ever. His heart was trembling, and then he smiled bitterly and slowly lowered his head.
"You're still the same," he said.
"You didn't dare to see me at first, how dare you now? Could it be that Master has become the head of the sect, and he has become the sect leader, so he has the courage?" Lu Weiyi pointed out that he didn't dare to see me at first, referring to his role as Kunlun's envoy to mediate the side branches. Disputes come and go in a hurry, never showing up. These words should have been expressed in a tone of resentment or ridicule, but Lu Wei said them calmly, as if he was stating a simple fact.
"Head Ziyang has left, and I have become the sect leader. There is nothing standing between us anymore. Courage has always been there. What is missing is opportunity. The head has demoted you from Liushi Peak. Could it be that he is saving it to help us?" What’s on your mind?”
"No one can guess his thoughts."
"A great change is coming, and we don't have much time left..." Chu Ge said tentatively.
"I know. Did you just find out, or have you always known?"
"Headmaster Ziyang talked with Master for a long time before he threw himself into the Demon Suppressing Tower. Master told me the secret afterward. Hey, the stars are hanging upside down and the land of Kyushu is sinking. This is our inevitable fate." Chu Ge smiled self-deprecatingly. , "What about you, did you always know?"
"Before the leader went to the far north, he came to see me at Xianyun Peak and told me some things. He told me to know what I know and keep my mouth shut. He said that time is running out and I should take pleasure in the present. If I am willing, I can follow it. My own thoughts.”
"You can eat whatever you want and do whatever you want. Is that what you mean?"
"Roughly the same."
"So did you follow your heart?"
Lu Wei chuckled and said: "I sit here, looking at the sky and the clouds. The wind can come in and the rain can come in. I will wait until you have the courage to come see me and then reject you. This is what I want."
This is her heart, this is the ending of the story. If you miss it, you will miss it. There will no longer be a chance to make up for it. The distance between the two hearts will never be separated, and they will no longer be close. Chu Ge stared at her face, remained silent for a long time, and then said solemnly: "I won't talk about this anymore, I have business with you."
"you say."
Chu Ge was in a trance, composed himself, and told a few words about the whole story of the chaos caused by the monsters in Jie Tianling. He felt that it was boring, so he simply cut to the point and asked Lu Wei to take over the Xiandu Sect.
"Is it your private request, or is it the decision of the Presbyterian Council?"
"Both."
Lu Wei looked at the clouds on the horizon, thoughtfully, and said casually: "It was your idea to merge the side branches, right?"
"Taking advantage of the situation and taking expedient measures, what do you think?" Chu Ge gradually regained his composure.
"It's not bad. So many people have died, and people are panicking. The advantages of gathering them together outweigh the disadvantages. When the situation stabilizes, will the next step be to send people to clear the ghost gate?"
"In a few years, it depends on the situation. I think... this time, Li Yang Yuanrong will be merged into Pingyuan, Shaoling Yuxu will be merged into Xuantong, and the immortal capital will not move."
"Is it because of Wei Shiqi?" Lu Wei's thoughts turned very quickly and went straight to the point.
Chu Ge did not mince words and said calmly: "Wei Shiqi has made rapid progress in these years. I can no longer suppress him. There are really not many people in Liushi Peak who can beat him. These are not the key -"
"The key is that he has nothing to worry about, right?"
"...What kind of person do you think he is?"
"Selfish, indifferent, indifferent, doesn't care about anything but himself."
"Where are Qin Zhen and Yu Yao?"
"He will treat them very 'fairly', weigh the pros and cons, and calculate the gains and losses, but he never invests in emotions. He does not regard them as playthings, nor does he regard them as Taoist companions. Everything he does for them is a 'transaction' ' and part of the 'remuneration'. He is out of place, living in his own world, has no sense of belonging, and does not contribute to anyone."
"You see clearly."
Lu Wei was a little sad and said: "Yao'er is with the wrong person. That person is a stone that cannot be warmed and has no emotions. However, the world is unkind and treats all things as stupid dogs. Perhaps only such people can obey the will of God and continue to thrive." Become stronger, stronger than you and me, stronger than anyone else."
