As the sun set the next day, the carriage came to the ferry station, which is the junction of Hebei Province and Shandong Province. After walking for two days, Su Yi and the other three were ready to leave Ji Province.

Unlike Su Yi and the other three people who sat in a carriage and traveled leisurely around the mountains and rivers, all the upright leaders rode in two horses and traveled eight hundred miles a day.

They all gathered in Songshan Mountain at almost the same time.

The difference is that the people from the Wuyue Sword Sect went directly to the Songshan Sect, but the leader of Wudang, Taoist Master Chongxu, avoided the eyes and ears of the Songshan Sect and quietly sneaked into Shaoshi Mountain to meet the abbot of Shaolin, Master Fang Zheng.

The monks met together and after a brief greeting, they went straight to the point.

"I think it's a good thing that Dongfang can go down the mountain undefeated! Master, do you think so?" Taoist Chongxu asked, looking into Master Fang Zheng's eyes thoughtfully.

"Amitabha, yes." Master Fang Zheng raised his palms and chanted the Buddha's name, his eyes full of compassion.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing, which set the tone for the rest of the conversation.

"Master, why do you think Dongfang Bubai, who had not been out for ten years, suddenly came down the mountain?" Taoist Chongxu asked.

"I'm afraid this matter has something to do with Yang Lianting's benefactor Yang." Master Fang Zheng said without thinking. Obviously, he had already planned this matter. "As the Eastern Donor studied the "Sunflower Book", the more he understood the way of heaven and earth, the more he realized the wonder of transformation and rebirth of heaven and man, and he became more and more indifferent to the world's grudges, fame and wealth. Even if he could not leave Heimu Cliff in this life, Lao Na No surprise at all.”

"Well, this is also where you and I are worried." Taoist Chongxu smiled bitterly, "The more Dongfang Bubai becomes independent from the world, the more ambitious our left alliance leader becomes, and no one can restrain him."

"I thought that the appearance of Donor Yang would only weaken the Demon Sect and make the situation worse. I didn't expect that he could persuade Donor Dong to come down. It seems that this person is not without merit." Master Fang Zheng said with a smile, "Donor Dongfang. Shan, this chess game comes to life again.”

"It depends on whether the leader of the Left Alliance can seize the opportunity and carry out a revolution in Tumu Fortress." Taoist Chongxu said.

"Donor Zuo has a treacherous mind, and he is just trying to drive away wolves and tigers." Master Fang Zheng said.

"It's a pity that you and I are not wolves." Taoist Chongxu said calmly, "Master, you and I will wait and see what happens in this matter, and don't get involved. Zuo Lengchan is ambitious and will definitely lose his composure."

"Donor Zuo has summoned all the sects to discuss matters with the Songshan sect. What the Taoist Master means is..." Master Fang Zheng asked with a smile.

"Zen and Xuanmen are all outsiders. Unless absolutely necessary, they will not follow the world." Taoist Chongxu said, "This matter is entirely decided by Zuo Alliance Leader, Shaolin Wudang has no objections."

"With Zuo Donor's temperament, if we want to hide from Qingxian, we're afraid we won't be able to." Master Fang Zheng shook his head.

"The road to Wudang is very long, so it's normal that you won't be able to get there in a while, but Shaoshi Mountain is right on the side of Songshan Mountain. Master, it's really hard to escape." Taoist priest Chongxu said with a smile.

Master Fang Zheng sighed: "Master Taoist, you are just taking pleasure in others' misfortune."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Taoist Master Chongxu chuckled, "But it really doesn't make sense if you and I don't participate. Both factions came out together, but they played into the hands of the leader of the Left Alliance. There was only one person from Shaolin Wudang. It’s not disgraceful and it fulfills the moral obligation of a great leader. What do you think, Master Fang?”

Master Fang Zheng looked at Taoist Master Chongxu for a long time, and then said quietly: "I understand, you are such an experienced Taoist, you came to my place to hide and relax."

"Hey? Why do you, a monk, curse people?" Taoist Chongxu deliberately made a serious face.

Master Fang Zheng shook his head, turned around and left. Before going out, he told the young novice on his side: "This Chongxu almsgiver has been practicing fasting recently. Just prepare a bowl of cold water for him every day. Keep going and don't ruin the Tao." "Long practice."

"Yes, Abbot!"

"Monk is so wicked!" Taoist Master Chongxu couldn't help laughing and scolding him. His smile slowly faded as he watched Master Fang Zheng leave.

"Dongfang Bubai... This news comes strangely, there are still people playing chess..." He murmured and sighed.

On the other side, the Songshan Sword Sect’s welcoming hall.

The heads and masters of various sects who had arrived after a long journey gathered together. They all bowed to Zuo Lengchan, who was sitting at the head of the table, and then took their seats.

Zuo Lengchan was wearing a khaki cloth robe, with a stern face and shining eyes. He was calm and powerful, and looked around with tiger eyes.

Behind him, there stood a fat man with a white face on the left, and a thin middle-aged man with two whiskers on his upper lip stood on the left. These two people were Ding Mian, the second of the Thirteen Taibao of the Songshan Sect, and the Great Pagoda Hand. and Fei Bin, the second Taibao Da Songyang hand.

Sitting on the left side of the stage is a burly Taoist with a red face. This is Taoist Tianmen, the head of the Taishan Sect. The tall and thin Taoist standing behind him is his junior brother, Taoist Tiansong.

Further down is a middle-aged couple. The man looks to be in his early forties, wearing a green shirt, elegant and gentle, and looks personable; the middle-aged beautiful woman next to him is charming and heroic.

These two people are Yue Buqun, the head of the Huashan Sect, and his wife Ning Zhongze.

Sitting on the upper right side is a skinny old man with a goatee, holding a huqin in his hand, expressing his sorrow. This man is Mr. Xiaoxiang Yeyu Moda, the head of the Nanyue Hengshan Sect.

Sitting at the bottom are two old nuns. The kind-faced one on the left is Master Dingxian, the leader of the Beiyue Hengshan Sect, and the tall one next to her with tall sword-shaped eyebrows is her junior sister, Master Dingyi.

Zuo Lengchan looked around, with a solemn expression, and spoke first: "Everyone, Hui Ran, came to Songshan. Zuo is very grateful. This matter is important, so Zuo got straight to the point. I apologize for any disrespect!"

"Leader Zuo, why do you have to be so polite? We all came here after receiving news from you. Now we are all in a hurry. Naturally, we want to talk about business. How can we care about greetings?" Taoist Tianmen is as anxious as a raging fire. He was the first to answer, "Leader Zuo, I don't know if what you said in your letter is true or false?"

"How could Zuo dare to disturb everyone about such a big matter without verification?" Zuo Lengchan said, "This matter is true. Dongfang Bubai has really descended to Blackwood Cliff!"

As Zuo Lengchan said the name Dongfang Bubai, everyone's expressions changed at the scene, as if the name itself was a taboo, or it had an unspeakable magic power that made people's hearts palpitate.

"The last time Dongfang Bubai went down the mountain was ten years ago!" Yue Buqun spoke slowly, his voice slightly magnetic, "This big devil always sits on Blackwood Cliff and doesn't move around easily. Why did he suddenly go down the mountain this time? thing?"

"The demon sect walks around the world, naturally to confuse all sentient beings!" Master Dingyi snorted coldly, "No matter what his purpose is, we cannot allow him to act recklessly!"

"Leader Zuo, I don't know where Dongfang Bubai is now? Who is following him when he comes down the mountain this time?" Mr. Mo Da asked.

"I don't know any of this!" Zuo Lengchan shook his head and said, "I have sent people to inquire around, but no news has come back. In addition to our five sects, I also sent news to Shaolin and Wudang, but I don’t know what’s the reason for Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Chongxu, but there is no news from them.”

"Hmph! Fighting against the Demon Sect is a matter for the entire martial arts world, and it is not our Wuyue Sword Sect's own business!" Taoist Tianmen immediately said displeased upon hearing this, "In these years, we have been fighting back and forth with the Demon Sect, and the other sects It’s really shameful that Shaolin Wudang, who is the leader in martial arts, just sit back and watch the devil’s sect bring harm to the common people.”

"Brother Tianmen, after all, the Shaolin and Wudang sects are outsiders, and it is normal to ignore worldly affairs." Zuo Lengchan said with a smile, "But I believe that if there is a catastrophe in the martial arts world, the two sects will not stand idly by."

"When there is a catastrophe in the martial arts world and they come out, it will be too late!" Master Dingyi said dissatisfied.

"I am also from a foreigner!" Taoist Tianmen snorted coldly. "The two junior sisters of the Beiyue Hengshan Sect are also monks from a foreigner. Why are we here? After all, they are still aloof and feel that the matter is none of their business. But how can there be any eggs under the crowd? If the demon sect really becomes big one day, I wonder what they will do then!"

"Well, I'm afraid Shaolin Wudang has their considerations, but in dealing with the Demon Sect, our Five Mountains Sword Sect has the unshirkable responsibility." Zuo Lengchan said.

"Leader Zuo, the devil Dongfang Bubai has been cultivating in Blackwood Cliff for ten years. I'm afraid that his martial arts has become unpredictable." Yue Buqun said seriously, "Fighting this devil is not the responsibility of our Five Mountains Sword Sect. It’s a major event for the entire martial arts world. I think it’s better to invite Shaolin Master Fang Zheng and Wudang Chongxu Taoist to discuss the matter.”

"That's right!" Tianmen Taoist immediately agreed, "We can't just go all out and watch the fun in Shaolin Wudang!"

Zuo Lengchan pondered slightly and looked at Mo Da and Dingxian: "What do Master Mo Da and Senior Sister Dingxian mean?"

"Senior Brother Yue is mature and prudent, and what he said is true." Dingxian expressed his support for Yue Buqun's proposal.

"We, the Five Mountains Sword Sect, should not be the one to take the lead in dealing with Dongfang Bubai. Shaolin is the martial arts mountain of Taishan Beidou. This matter should be done without mercy!" Mo Daodao.

Zuo Lengchan gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! Since all the masters and brothers have this intention, then Zuo will have the audacity to go to Shaoshi Mountain in person to ask Master Fang Zheng to come forward. I also ask you to rest for a while in the inferior sect. Zuo will come as soon as he goes. !”

After a pause, Zuo Lengchan continued: "If Zuo really invites Fang Zheng and Chongxu to come, please bear in mind that we, the Five Mountains Sword Sect, have always been in the same spirit for more than a hundred years. Joining hands and forming an alliance, we are already like a family! As brothers, we are the leaders of the five factions, and any decision we make is for the sake of all of us."

Yue Buqun heard the message and understood the elegance, and immediately expressed his position: "Don't worry, Leader of the Left Alliance. The Wuyue Sword Sect closed the door to discuss matters, but when it opened the door, it was unanimous to the outside world. No matter what decision the Leader of the Left Alliance made in front of the Shaolin and Wudang factions, the Huashan Sect We will fully support the leader of the Left Alliance!”

"Leader Zuo, don't worry, our Taishan sect is too!" Taoist Tianmen immediately expressed his stance.

Then Dingxian and Mo Da expressed their support for Zuo Lengchan, and Zuo Lengchan left with satisfaction.

Yue Buqun looked at Zuo Lengchan's leaving figure, his eyes twinkling thoughtfully.

Soon, Zuo Lengchan went to Shaoshi Mountain in person and asked to see Master Fangzheng, the abbot of Shaolin.

Master Fang Zheng met Zuo Lengchan and expressed his opposition to the demon sect, and Shaolin Temple had no other choice in this matter. However, the Shaolin Temple has always ignored world affairs and knows nothing about the trends of the Demon Cult. How to deal with Dongfang Bubai needs Zuo Lengchan to make the decision.

The two discussed it for a few more words and finally settled on their initial intention.

Zuo Lengchan was first responsible for figuring out where Dongfang Bubai was, and then talked about other things.

When the time comes, Master Fang Zheng of Shaolin Temple will personally take action, obey the command of the Zuo leader, and fight against the demonic sect together.

However, when Zuo Lengchan asked about Taoist Chongxu of the Wudang Sect, Master Fang Zheng regretfully said that as far as he knew, Taoist Chongxu had wandered away, and he didn’t know where he was now.

Zuo Lengchan secretly cursed the old fox, knowing that this was the condition for Master Fang Zheng to obey his command and deal with the demon sect together.

The righteous factions reached a consensus, and Ren Yingying also persuaded some left-leaning people to help her find out the news.

Ren Yingying did not go out in a big way to find the person. Instead, she found a trusted confidant and carefully started to inquire around Heimu Cliff.

Four carriages, two men and one woman.

Putting these two factors together, it is actually easy to check.

Ren Yingying was very careful and smart. She only checked the places where the carriage had passed, and she specifically ordered that she stop the investigation immediately after checking the distance of half a day's journey.

In this way, no matter how shrewd Su Yi is, he will never find out that someone is investigating their whereabouts.

Soon the whereabouts of Su Yi and others were reported to Ren Yingying's desk.

"Dukou Station..." Ren Yingying frowned and looked at the map, muttering to herself, "He is going to Lu Di? What are he going to Lu Di for? Is it to deal with the Taishan Sect?"

She frowned and thought hard, sliding her slender jade fingers forward along the map and crossing Lu Di. She suddenly paused and her face changed slightly.

She suddenly discovered that if she walked all the way southeast in this direction, she would reach Qiantang in half a month at most!

"Could it... have something to do with dad?" Ren Yingying took a breath, and her expression suddenly became serious.

He hurriedly wrote a handwritten letter and sent it to Heimuya via Feige.

Xiang Wentian rushed back to Heimuya overnight last night, and she had to tell him this guess quickly.

For a moment, Ren Yingying's heart was in a mess.

After several undercurrents, the whereabouts of Dongfang Bubai were also learned by the decent people.

"Lu Di?" All the masters looked at each other, wondering why Dongfang Bubai was here.

"Could it be that they want to harm the Taishan Sect?" Master Dingyi frowned and guessed.

The face of Taoist Tianmen, the head of the Taishan Sect, was as dark as the bottom of the pot.

"If the Eastern Dog Thief really attacks our Taishan Sect, our sect will be completely defenseless and will suffer disaster!" He said anxiously, "Leader Zuo, please come with me to help the Taishan Sect immediately. Tianmen will thank you first! "

"The Five Sacred Sword Sects are connected by the same spirit, this is what it should be!" Zuo Lengchan said seriously. He looked at Master Fang Zheng and asked, "Master, what do you say?"

"Amitabha, it all depends on the orders of the leader of the Zuo Alliance." Master Fang Zheng said.

"Okay!" Zuo Lengchan looked serious, "Everyone, one man and three cavalry, rush to the aid of Mount Tai! We must get to the Taishan sect before the big devil Dongfang Bubai!"

That night, all the masters of the righteous path traveled under the stars and arrived at the foot of Mount Tai when the sky just turned white.

Tianmen Taoist asked the disciples stationed at the foot of the mountain, and he was relieved when he learned that the sect was safe and sound.

Everyone was tired and exhausted, so they repaired and rested at the foot of Mount Tai while continuing to inquire about the whereabouts of Dongfang Bubai.
