Zongwu: Starting from the Trouble in Xingzilin

Ma Dachang and Xin Shuangqing followed the order and left. Before leaving, Lin Han reminded them again.

"This battle is for my Lingjiu Palace to establish its prestige when it first enters the Southern Song Dynasty. You two must ensure victory in the first battle!"

"Palace Master, rest assured! We will definitely make Lingjiu Palace famous!"

Ma Dachang and Xin Shuangqing made a firm promise.

Lin Han nodded with satisfaction.

After watching the two leave, Lin Han turned back and walked back into the house.

He filled the teacup with tea from the pot, took a sip, and pondered.

"Although Sha Tongtian has some reputation in the Southern Song Dynasty, it should be no problem for Xin Ma and the others to deal with him.

"After this battle, those sects that want to covet the vassal land of White Camel Mountain should think carefully!

"In this way, the Baituo branch has taken its first step to gain a firm foothold in the Southern Song Dynasty.……"

Thinking of this, Lin Han brought the teacup held in the air to his lips and drank it all in one gulp.

His brows relaxed as he savored the fragrance of the tea, but suddenly his brows slightly frowned.

"Ouyang Feng, one of the Five Great Masters, was still destroyed. Couldn't Sha Tongtian have thought of this?

"But why would a second-rate expert like him dare to touch the tiger whiskers of Lingjiu Palace?"

Lin Han frowned, his face showing even more suspicion.

"Humph! Since you are here, I don’t care who you are!"

Lin Han's eyes narrowed, and before he knew it, the teacup in his hand had turned into powder.

……

Mount Zhongnan, Quanzhen Temple

"Master!"

Qiu Chuji walked into the Wanshou Palace and bowed to Wang Chongyang, who was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with his back to him, meditating.

Wang Chongyang did not even turn his head. After a while, his back moved slightly.

"Chuji, what do you want from me?"

"Master, the Jianghu in Southern Song has been turbulent recently. I wonder if you have heard anything about it?"Qiu Chuji bowed and folded his hands.

Hearing this, Wang Chongyang, who was sitting cross-legged with his back to Qiu Chuji, suddenly paused and then slowly stood up.

Putting his hands behind his back, Wang Chongyang slowly turned around.

He was very tall, wearing a wide-sleeved Taoist robe, with a few flowing beards under his chin, and his eyes were shining, with a look of transcendence.

""Tell me more in detail." Wang Chongyang said calmly.

Qiu Chuji hurriedly bowed, lowered his eyebrows, and reported with some fear.

"Rumor has it that the Ouyang family of Baituo Mountain was wiped out from the Southern Song Dynasty's underworld overnight!"

"Oh?" Wang Chongyang frowned, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes,"Who did it?"

"Northern Song Dynasty, Lin Han, the new Palace Master of Lingjiu Palace of Xiaoyao Sect!"

"Lin Han?" Wang Chongyang stroked his beard with his hand and hesitated.

"Some time ago, Huang Laoxie brought his daughter to Quanzhen. When explaining the cause of death of your junior brother Chu Duan, you mentioned this person.

"It is said that when he was traveling in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was this Lin Han who revealed the truth about Ouyang Feng's murder of Chu Duan."

Wang Chongyang pondered for a while, and a sneer flashed across his lips,"Humph, Ouyang Feng thought that he could escape this disaster by relying on the fact that Baituo Mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and I can break through the Xiantian Gong and temporarily have no time to care about him. But he didn't expect that he would be killed by a Northern Song Dynasty martial artist! Haha……"

Wang Chongyang said, shaking his head

"Master, I heard that the White Camel Villa has now been renamed the White Camel Branch of Lingjiu Palace!"

"White Camel Branch? Ha! This Lingjiu Palace has quite a lot of ambitions!"Wang Chongyang was obviously interested in Qiu Chuji's words. He glanced at Qiu Chuji with some interest, then turned his head and looked at the sky outside the palace, with a playful smile on his face.

"Such a young talent, your master is very interested in meeting him!"

He paused, nodded, and then continued:"Chuji, you should go now. Invite Master Lin to Zhongnan for your master!""

""Yes! Master!"

Qiu Chuji agreed hurriedly.

But then he hesitated,"Disciple has one thing yet to report!""

"explain"

"The White Camel Mountain had just changed hands, and the Vulture Palace was still not firmly established. Some martial arts sects took this opportunity to carve up and encroach on the vassal lands under the White Camel Mountain. I...we……"

Qiu Chuji began to hesitate as he spoke.

Wang Chongyang smiled indifferently.

He put his hands behind his back and walked towards Qiu Chuji.

"My Quanzhen Sect is an important presence in the Southern Song Dynasty's martial arts world. Don't get involved in these marginal disputes!"

After admonishing Qiu Chuji, he suddenly became interested and asked,"Those sects you mentioned just now that are fighting for territory, they won't include the Beggar Gang where Hong Qi is, right?"

"No, they are all second-rate sects, among which Sha Tongtian of the Yellow River Gang is the most prominent!"

"Sha Tongtian?" A trace of contempt flashed across Wang Chongyang's face."This Sha Tongtian was born a bandit. He and 'Thousand-Handed Man-Slayer Peng Lianhu' often look after each other. It's normal for him to do these things with the Yellow River Gang."

At this point, Wang Chongyang seemed to remember something funny.

He smiled for an incomprehensible moment, and then said,"Even if he has Wanyan Honglie's support, he doesn't think about it. Compared with Ouyang Feng, what is he!

"But that’s good too. This way, I can take this opportunity to see what Lin Han is up to!"

……

Zhongdu, the Palace of Prince Zhao of Jin.

On the first seat, a man in his forties, with two short beards on his lips, a hooked nose, and sunken eye sockets, was listening to the report of the person in front of him with great interest. It was the Sixth Prince of Jin, Wanyan Honglie.

From Wanyan Honglie's expression, it was not difficult to see that he was quite satisfied with the result of the report.

After a while, Wanyan Honglie turned his head and smiled at the person sitting on the chair below:"Mr. Murong, if you want to enter the Song Dynasty, you must start from the Southern Song martial arts world. In my opinion, it is indeed a brilliant move.

"Now that Sha Tongtian has encroached upon some of the vassal territories of Baituo Mountain, in your opinion, what should be done next?"

""Hahaha!" The person sitting on the chair below laughed and stood up. It was Murong Fu, who had been missing in the Northern Song Dynasty martial arts world for many days.

Murong Fu fanned the fan with a"swish" sound.���He opened it and shook it twice, looking confident.

"Your Majesty, the Yellow River Gang has always been dominating the banks of the Yellow River. Now that they have acquired the vassal land under the White Camel Mountain, the east-west line is now open. Next, they can further encroach on the Jiangnan martial arts world. Of course, the Jiangnan Beggar Gang will bear the brunt of this!"

"Haha, Master Murong has a really good plan!"

Wanlie Honglie was so excited that he also stood up and complimented Murong Fu sincerely.

Suddenly, his face became a little thoughtful again,"Master Murong, although the Yellow River Gang has successfully acquired some vassal lands. But the Lingjiu Palace will surely not give up. I wonder if Master Murong has any countermeasures?"

"Haha," Murong Fu smiled indifferently, with a look of disapproval,"Although the Lingjiu Palace has some strength, as far as I know, the people sent to the Southern Song Dynasty by the Lingjiu Palace this time are only Xin Shuangqing and Ma Dachang from the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands.

"I am very clear about the strength of these two people, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much!"When

Wanyan Honglie heard Murong Fu's words, he raised his eyebrows and couldn't help showing his joy.

"In this case, we have to rely on Master Murong!"

"Haha, no! Your Majesty is too polite!"Murong Fu quickly folded his hands.

After a pause, he said meaningfully:"But, Your Majesty, please don't forget the promise you made."
