Chapter 410: Volume D: At Dusk, the Tide Rises, the Swords Are Sharpened, and It Is Difficult to Distinguish Between Enemies and Friends

It was already dark when Chen Huaisheng sent Kou Qing home.

He got a lot of information from Kou Qing about Jiulian Sect.

Now the Yaolian Sect and Jingfu Sect were at loggerheads, and the two sides were arguing over who would take over as the Sect Master.

According to the rules of Jiulian Sect, the Sect Master of Jiulian Sect rotates among the nine sects, but there is a prerequisite, that is, if any sect wants to take over the position of the Sect Master of Jiulian Sect, then his sect should have more than three Purple Mansion True Lords.

This basically excludes some small sects.

For example, Jinqi, Yuhan, Zidan, Xiyun, and Huolai have never had the experience of having three Purple Mansion True Lords at the same time.

Even Guipeng Sect, in the thousand-year history of Jiulian Sect, only occasionally had three Purple Mansion True Lords at the same time, and most of the time there were only one or two Purple Mansions.

The Yaolian, Jingfu, and Yuanhe sects have maintained the strength of three Purple Mansion True Lords most of the time, of course, there are times when there are only two Purple Mansion True Lords.

The dispute between the Yaolian and Jingfu sects this time is because during the ten years when the Jingfu sect served as the sect leader, a Purple Mansion ascended to immortality, while the other foundation building peak has not yet been promoted to Purple Mansion, so according to convention, the position of the sect leader should be transferred to the Yaolian sect.

But who would have thought that during the transfer process, the Jingfu sect's foundation building peak was promoted to Purple Mansion again, which immediately caused disputes.

No one has ever encountered such a situation, but if it was just like this, it would be fine, but this Jingfu sect cultivator who had just entered Purple Mansion was attacked again and was seriously injured. As a result, he fell into Purple Mansion and became the ninth level of foundation building.

This means that the position of the leader of the Jingfu Sect was lost and regained, and then lost again. The key is that the injured cultivator who fell into the Purple Mansion believed that a Purple Mansion cultivator of the Yaolian Sect and another alien cultivator attacked him, which caused him to fall into the Purple Mansion. Their purpose was to take over the position of the leader of the Jiulian Sect.

The Yaolian Sect categorically denied it and even questioned that the Purple Mansion cultivator who was said to have been attacked and fell into the ninth level of foundation building was a lie. He did not enter the Purple Mansion at all, and deliberately made such a ridiculous lie to frame the Yaolian Sect in order to achieve the purpose of occupying the position of the leader.

In this way, the two sides were deadlocked and even gradually evolved to the point of fighting. The Yuanhe Sect proposed that since the two sides could not reach an agreement, the position of the leader would be temporarily represented by the Yuanhe Sect.

This attracted joint criticism from the Yaolian and Jingfu Sects. Both sides even suspected that the Yuanhe Sect was the one who caused the conflict between the two sides, and then the Yuanhe Sect benefited.

This caused conflicts among the three sects to arise one after another.

At this point, especially when a purple mansion was attacked and fell to the foundation-building stage, it really became a life-and-death feud.

Jingfu Sect once suspected that it was the Yaolian Sect that attacked, but later suspected that it was the Yuanhe Sect that framed others, but they did not find enough evidence, but there is no doubt that it was definitely done by one of the two families.

"So now the various sects in Jiulian Sect are in a turmoil, and with each having its own helpers, it is even more difficult to step down." After Xu Tianfeng came to the capital, he also found out some information, "If this continues, I'm afraid Jiulian Sect will really become history."

"Brother, what do the master and others think?" Chen Huaisheng is more concerned about this issue. What will the Chonghua Sect do next? In comparison, the Daohui competition is secondary.

"Now these branches of Jiulian Sect may have realized the danger and intend to ease the situation, but the gap is deep. It is difficult to suddenly untie the knot in the heart, and now there are many people outside who are fanning the flames and want to promote the collapse of Jiulian Sect." When Xu Tianfeng said the last sentence, his voice became a little low.

Chen Huaisheng's heart trembled, and he subconsciously asked: "Does it include our Chonghua Sect? Do you have the same attitude and idea?"

Xu Tianfeng's smile was a bit weird, "Junior brother, you should understand the world, the law of the jungle, life and death, Jiulian Sect's performance over the years has been disappointing, even our most loyal allies have been abandoned by them, and now they are in internal strife. For many people, isn't this a godsend opportunity?"

"Senior brother, I know that other families must have bad intentions, I mean our Chonghua Sect?" Chen Huaisheng didn't want to play dumb with anyone, so he asked directly.

Xu Tianfeng pondered in silence, and Chen Huaisheng immediately understood.

No wonder Shang Jiuling, Ding Zongshou, and Zhu Fengbi came out together, they came for a purpose.

For a while, Chen Huaisheng felt a little depressed. Jiulian Sect has come to this point, and even Chonghua Sect wants to share a spoonful of soup?

But then he thought, if Chonghua Sect doesn't share a spoonful of soup, wouldn't it be a waste of money for other sects and families?

Besides, if the Chonghua Sect stood on the side of the Jiulian Sect, would it change the situation of the Jiulian Sect's collapse and destruction? It couldn't be changed.

And even if the Chonghua Sect wanted to stand on the side of the Jiulian Sect, which branch of the Jiulian Sect would it stand on? Yaolian, Jingfu, or Yuanhe?

It couldn't stand on the side of the Guipeng Sect, which had never participated in the struggle between the parties, right?

Chen Huaisheng was stunned. To be honest, if the Jiulian Sect was really destroyed, could the Guipeng Sect escape this disaster?

Chen Huaisheng thought about it and felt that it was difficult.

These sects will not let go of any branch of Jiulian Sect. If the branches of Jiulian Sect are smart, they will either unite immediately. If they cannot do so, they will quickly find a relatively less powerful sect to unite with. In this way, they may be able to barely maintain a certain degree of independence, and perhaps see if they can break free again after a period of time.

But this is difficult.

It is not just difficult in general, and its danger is greater than imagined.

Just like the current Lingyun Sect merged into the Chonghua Sect, don’t Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi know that these disciples of Lingyun Sect still have some thoughts?

But Shang Jiuling and Zhu Fengbi still accepted Lingyun Sect without hesitation.

Opportunities are rare, as long as Lingyun Sect can be merged, Lingyun Sect will lose the initiative. If they want to be independent again, it is not to say that there is no hope, but the difficulty will be much greater.

As more and more new disciples and outstanding talents are recruited from Hebei, Yiyang, and Langling, they are all recruited in the name of Chonghua Sect. They will only have a sense of belonging to Chonghua Sect, and it is impossible for them to support the disappeared Lingyun Sect. Even the young disciples of Lingyun Sect will slowly erode these memories and nostalgia over time, and then become part of Chonghua Sect.

The same is true for the branches of Jiulian Sect. Once they are incorporated into a sect, it will be difficult to restore them.

For many disciples, as long as their practice is not hindered, they don’t care much about Jiulian Sect or any other sect.

This is very critical.
