Chapter Eighty-Nine: Killing Chickens and Monkeys
After Liu Chen was killed, two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and with Liu Chen's last wish, his junior brother Liu Song tried his best to match. It can be regarded as the expectation of everyone, and the Sacred Domain was finally promoted to a new sect: the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain.
Of course, it does not include the Niguang Temple, the Star-Moon Sect, and the Iron Blood Gate. Even without their support, the Lingyun faction can be regarded as an unprecedented feat, and it has really been promoted by leaps and bounds, and it deserves to become the first faction in the rivers and lakes.
Under the recommendation of everyone, Liu Song deserved to succeed to the position of the Holy Venerable of the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain, I don't know if it was to win people's hearts, or if he really remembered Liu Chen's contributions, under his call, he honored Liu Chen as the first Holy Venerable of the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain.
I'm afraid that Liu Chen, who was under the Nine Shadows, never dreamed that the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain, which he had gone through hardships and single-handedly promoted, would be easily established after his death. I don't know how the souls of the Nine Shadows will feel when they know this news.
After dealing with Liu Chen's aftermath, Liu Song ushered in the peak of his life. The first thing he did after succeeding to the Holy Venerable was not to avenge Liu Chen, but to issue an ultimatum to the Iron Blood Gate as soon as possible, and when the period expired in March, if the Iron Blood Gate still insisted on going its own way and did not return to the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain, it would be in the name of justice in the rivers and lakes, and the rebellious Iron Blood Gate in collusion with the Demon Domain would be bloodbathed. Even the resentment against Mu Qing is attributed to the Iron Blood Gate.
As the saying goes, if there are too many lice, he is not afraid of biting, Jiang Zikun received the ultimatum sent by the Martial Spirit Shengzun, ignored it, and burned the letter directly in front of the messenger. In his opinion, the matter has come to this point, and returning to the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain will only attract ridicule from the people of the rivers and lakes. What's more, since taking over as the head of the house, he has never done anything earth-shattering.
In order to keep the foundation of the ancestor, instead of giving it to others, it is better to be like a seven-foot man, separating and fighting, whether he can survive this catastrophe depends on whether the ancestor is sheltered.
There was a deathly silence in the Iron and Blood Hall, and the six of them stared at each other speechlessly. Except for Jiang Zikun and Lu Ming, the rest of the people are juniors. The charcoal in the stove crackled from time to time, and became the only source of sound in the main hall.
It didn't take long for someone to break the silence. "Master, since both the Holy Demon Domains want to attack us, I'm afraid we have to plan for the worst. ”
Speaking is Jiang Zikun's eldest apprentice, Liu Qi, since learning that the Demon Domain declared war, Liu Qi no longer cares about the trivial matters of the sect, and concentrates on cultivation, although it is not a higher level, but it has improved a lot compared to before.
"Master, senior brother is reasonable. Wang Zhiyi agreed with Liu Qi's point of view, but he hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, since the so-called Martial Spirit Sacred Domain and Demon Domain have threatened to wash their own sect in blood, depending on the disciples, it is better to set up a martial arts fight against the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain." ”
"Martial arts?" Without waiting for Jiang Zikun to speak, Lu Ming hurriedly said: "You tell me in detail, what kind of martial arts method." ”
"Master, uncle, and disciple feel that the intention of the two domains of the Holy Demon is obvious, and they will kill the chicken to show the monkey. Now we are in a very passive situation, this chicken is decided, but the right to choose which chicken to be is in our hands. ”
Wang Zhiyi's words made everyone stunned, only Lu Ming asked straightforwardly: "What type of chickens are there?"
"Active Chickens vs. Passive Chickens. ”
You go on. "How could Jiang Zikun not understand the truth, whether it is the Holy Domain or the Demon Domain, it is necessary to raise the sword at this moment, and the Iron Blood Gate has undoubtedly become the target of everyone.
"If you choose to be passive, then the Iron and Blood Gate may completely become the dust in the flood of history in the future. Wang Zhiyi looked at everyone meaningfully, sighed, and said: "If we choose to take the initiative, we may have a glimmer of life." As we all know, now that the various sects have been integrated together to form the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain, through my secret visit, many sects are not willing, but are under pressure and coercion from Liu Chen. ”
"Then naturally choose the active chicken. Lu Ming glared at Wang Zhiyi, Nunu's mouth, and said, "You tell me in detail." ”
"If we choose to take the initiative, we can put down the martial arts, publish heroic posts, and challenge the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain, in my opinion, the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain is only a prototype now, and it has not been perfected in all aspects, although most people have joined the new sect, they are still in a wait-and-see attitude, so we can't admit the integration of the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain. Therefore, our ring has to challenge the Lingyun faction alone. ”
"Hasn't the Lingyun Sect already merged into the Martial Spirit Sacred Domain? Why can't we admit it yet?" Liu Qi became more and more confused the more he listened, although he did not come to the scene in person, the reason for this matter had already been known from his junior disciple.
"Senior brother, you are confused. Wang Zhiyi really doesn't know what to say about his ability to understand this senior brother.
"That day in Lingyun Pavilion, everyone saw Shang Mingzhi. As we all know, he has become a traitor to his own sect and was expelled from the Iron and Blood Gate, whether they believe it or not, one thing is certain, Liu Chen was sheltering Shang Mingzhi during his lifetime, which is always right. Seeing everyone nodding, he continued: "Since Shang Mingzhi has been listed as a traitor to his own sect, and the Lingyun Sect intends to shelter him, we can take this opportunity to condemn the Lingyun Sect and ask him to hand over Shang Mingzhi to us to deal with. ”
"Then he won't say yes. Lu Ming said bluntly: "I doubt that they have long been related to Shang Mingzhi's beast, and he has done great rebellious things, and he has even been secretly supported by them." ”
"Uncle Shi's suspicions are not unreasonable, but this is not the time to worry about these. Since Liu Chen can use Shang Mingzhi to slander the Iron Blood Gate, we can also use this opportunity to crusade against the Lingyun Sect. ”
Yi'er has a point. Jiang Zikun nodded slowly, agreeing with the apprentice's opinion, and said slowly: "As long as it is used properly, Shang Mingzhi is indeed a double-edged sword, and this calculation is very secondary." ”
"Master, even so, the current public opinion in the rivers and lakes is very unfavorable to us, although Liu Chen is a false talker, but after all, he is still a Holy Venerable of the Holy Domain, even if his mouth is untrue, there are still many people who are willing to believe him. ”
Wang Zhiyi's worries are not groundless, he can be qualified for the post of Holy Venerable, and his prestige in the rivers and lakes cannot be underestimated.
"Senior brother, if you have any ideas, you might as well speak up. "Liu Qi is a good person, his personality is gentle, but he has a tendon in his head, what they say, the more Liu Qi listens to it, the more confused he becomes.
"Master, if someone from the Demon Domain can come forward to clarify this matter, maybe it will have some effect. Wang Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, but finally said it, and at the same time his eyes were fixed on Jiang Zikun, for fear that he would say the wrong thing and attract a reprimand.
"Do you know that once someone in the Demon Domain comes forward for us, it will completely confirm Liu Chen's false accusation against us, won't it make others think that we want to cover up? Without waiting for Jiang Zikun to speak, Lu Ming preemptively expressed his inner concerns, which was only one of the reasons. On the other hand, Lu Ming really likes Wang Zhiyi in his heart, and he naturally knows his senior brother's temper, so he deliberately said this to cover up for Wang Zhiyi.
"Not necessarily. Jiang Zikun suddenly opened his mouth and said thoughtfully: "Since the two domains of the Holy Demon Domain want to use the Iron Blood Gate to establish their might, why can't we transfer flowers and trees, the reason why the Demon Domain has a war book against this sect is because of Shang Mingzhi, I think Fei Wu should be more interested in Shang Mingzhi." ”
"What does the master mean?" Wang Zhiyi was not present at the time, and the reason for this incident was also learned from them afterwards, and the specific process of the incident was still not very clear.
Jiang Zikun didn't answer Wang Zhiyi's question, but asked everyone: "Is there any way you can find Fei Wu?"
"It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Fei Wu Shenlong has not seen the end of the head, and his status in the Demon Domain is second only to the Demon Venerable, and he has not appeared openly in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, and it may be extremely difficult to find him. "Wang Zhiyi also has a few friends in the Demon Domain, and he has only heard one or two things about Fei Wu from them.
"Since he can drive the Demon Venerable to send a war letter, presumably before the big war, he will not leave the Demon Domain, find a way to contact Fei Wu and tell him that Shang Mingzhi is in the Lingyun Sect. ”
"Master, leave this matter to me. Wang Zhiyi took the initiative to ask for help, and said at the same time: "But I think that everything that happened in Lingyun Pavilion should have reached Fei Wu's ears. ”
"That's another matter, whether or not we tell him about it has to do with our attitude towards it. ”
"The disciple understands, and tomorrow I will try to find out the news of Fei Wu before leaving. ”
"Wait. Yi'er is right, instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative. Jiang Zikun raised his hand and said slowly: "Widely distribute the hero's post and set up a martial arts campaign to defeat the Lingyun faction." Remember, it has to be loud. ”
