Chapter 140: Sword Gate's Fury
Buddhism suddenly entered the WTO, and the news of the fight with Ling Cang, a wanted criminal in the imperial court, spread quickly, causing a heated discussion.
The son of the winner is the focus of attention of all forces, plus Buddhism has been hidden for many years, and it is difficult not to attract the attention of other forces when there is such a big move this time.
Especially for the imperial court and the major factions of martial arts, the result of this incident is no different from appalling, Ling Cang, the son of the winner, was knocked off the cliff and died on the spot.
Such a big move caused an uproar among the forces of all parties, and the forces of all parties were shocked and secretly suspicious at the same time, why would the Buddhism, which has never asked about the world, suddenly attack the son of the winner, which is obviously not in line with the former's style of acting, and some big factions have noticed a trace of abnormal atmosphere,
The son of the winner is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, the court and Buddhism will do whatever it takes to attack the same person, so much to get rid of this person, the two major forces are far more jealous of the son of the winner than everyone expected, there must be some unknown inside story about the son of the winner,
…………
The news soon spread to the Huashan faction, and there was an uproar up and down the Sword Gate.
"Hmph, Buddhism is so bold that he dares to openly attack my personal disciples of the Huashan faction, and regard the majesty of my Huashan faction as nothing, what does he mean by Qin Luan",
Above the main hall of the Huashan Sect, the head of the sect, Gao Yun, was furious, although Fang Qinghui stated to the world some time ago that he would not participate in the conflict between the major forces and his disciples, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that this move was not their original intention,
King En, as the leader of the martial arts alliance, issued an edict to the major factions to arrest the son of the winner, but the major forces of the martial arts were hindered by the majesty of the Huashan faction.
Even Zhengqing, who has a long-standing grudge with the Huashan faction, and the Emei faction did not dare to attack the son of the winner in the end, the reason is very simple, the major factions and the imperial court are only allies, and no one is willing to offend the first sword gate in China for the sake of King En's edict.
The imperial court failed to order the major martial arts factions that were allied with it, but who knows, Shaolin, who has always been hidden in the world, and does not ask about the world, has made a move, although this ending is unexpected, but Buddhism's move is undoubtedly a direct challenge to the authority of the Huashan faction,
The sect master of the Sword Sect was angry, and everyone in His Highness was also indignant, especially the disciples of the Huashan faction were furious at the moment, and everyone's faces were full of anger,
"Master, between us and Shaolin has always been the well water does not interfere with the river water, this time they indiscriminately attacked our disciples, so that Ling Cang's junior brother fell off the cliff, this matter must not be just settled, Buddhism must give us an explanation",
Under the main hall, Gao Yun's personal disciple Qing Yang angrily rebuked, among the entire Huashan faction, he had the best relationship with Ling Cang, and when he heard that Shaolin had made a move against Ling Cang this time, causing his brother to fall off the cliff, he was immediately furious.
Looking at the other pro-lineage disciples, they were also full of anger at this moment, Ling Cang was framed at that time and was wanted by the imperial court, and the pro-lineage disciples of the Huashan faction were already feeling indignant,
Uncle Fang Qinghui also stated to the world that he would not participate in the conflict between the major forces and Ling Cang, which made everyone feel very aggrieved.
Their brothers were framed and hunted down, and they could only watch but couldn't help anything, and now Ling Cang was chased and killed by Buddhism and forced off the cliff, how not to make them feel angry,
Not to mention that this incident made the hearts of the disciples uneasy, even the experienced and steady elders who have always taken the overall situation into account can't sit still.
An inner gate elder looked at Gao Yun with a solemn face, and said solemnly,
"Boss, Buddhism's move has no scruples about the face of my Huashan faction, if we ignore this incident, then what will other forces think of us, they will think that my Huashan faction is weak, and their own personal disciples die in the hands of other sects and don't even dare to say a word, then my first sword sect in China will be swept away in front of the major factions",
As soon as the elder's words fell, another elder answered
"Elder Yue is right, the master, we can't interfere too much in the affairs of the imperial court, but the Buddhists' actions belong to the martial arts dispute, this is a matter of the two sects, Shaolin did not say a word to our disciples, and also caused people to fall off the cliff and die, Buddhism's move is tantamount to challenging the authority of my Huashan faction, whether it is for the justice of Ling Cang, or the majesty of my sword gate, this time we must let Buddhism give an explanation"
The elder said indignantly, the statement of the two elders is also the opinion of most of the high-ranking people of the Huashan faction, and the killing of the disciple is an intolerable thing in the eyes of any major faction.
The personal disciple is an important combat force of a sect, and more importantly, it represents the façade of a sect to a certain extent.
No matter what crime Ling Cang was convicted of by the imperial court, he was still a personal disciple of the Huashan faction, and the Buddhism couldn't help but say that attacking him was to challenge the majesty of the first sword gate in Huaxia, and the elders were the pillars of the Huashan faction, and everyone had a strong sense of sect.
What they care about most is a face, the big faction has the majesty of the big faction, as the first sword sect in China, the death of their own personal disciples in the hands of other sects is tantamount to challenging the authority of the Huashan faction, if they ignore this matter again, then they will lose their majesty in front of the major factions, and become the biggest laughing stock in the martial arts,
There was an uproar under the main hall, and everyone was angry that the Buddhism sect openly killed Ling Cang, whether it was the elders or the personal disciples, they all thought that this matter could not be just settled, even if it was a war, the Buddhism must give an explanation,
But some of them have scruples about this, an elder with a solemn face, looked at Gao Yun and said, "Master, Shaolin's action this time is indeed too arrogant, according to common sense, we have to find Buddhism to give an explanation anyway, but ......"
The elder hesitated for a moment when he said this, and then continued randomly, "The Huashan faction has already stated to the world before that it will not ask about the conflict between Ling Cang and the major forces, and now that Ling Cang is dead in the hands of Buddhism, if we go to ask for the explanation, I am afraid it will make people think that we are going back on our word, and we have no promise, and it is difficult to guarantee that we will not fall behind on the side of the major factions."
The elder's words made the people of His Highness fall into deep thought, and the main hall suddenly fell silent again, although he felt very aggrieved, but I have to say that the elder's worries are not unreasonable,
The Huashan faction had indeed stated to the world that it would not care about the conflict between Ling Cang and the major forces, and now that the people are dead, they have to settle accounts again, I am afraid it is difficult to be convincing, and if their own personal disciples are killed, regardless of it, they will lose their majesty in front of the major factions.
But if it falls back on its word and does not believe in its words, it is not a faceless thing for the first sword gate in China.
At this time, another elder stood up and proposed,
"Boss, although Buddhism suddenly attacked our disciples this time until people fell off the cliff, but Buddhism also paid a great price in this battle, dozens of warriors were killed, and the personal disciple Huikong died on the spot, Shaolin's losses are much greater than ours, Buddhism must be very annoyed now, if you come to the door at this time, I am afraid that the situation will be further expanded, and there is even the possibility of war, so the matter is serious, I think we should still be cautious",
The elder's face was heavy, and he looked at Gao Yun and said earnestly,
There is also a certain amount of truth in this statement, if the Huashan faction ascends to the Buddhist Gate, it is indeed possible to further intensify the contradictions, and even have the possibility of direct war, so the problem will be serious, although the elders have different opinions, but no one wants to see this,
Even Buddhism never wants to go to war, if the two sides go to war, in the end there is only one result, that is, the two largest forces in the martial arts are both defeated, their vitality is greatly damaged, and they may even fall out of the ranks of the big factions.
This elder's rhetoric is reasonable, but the words make people feel too weak, and the disciples are all young and vigorous, and they are all angry at the moment, where can they listen to what the elder says
Qing Yang was the first to stand up and retort,
"What are you afraid of, this time it was the first hand of Buddhism, they deserved to die, they want to go to war, are we afraid that they won't succeed",
Qing Yang's words were sharp, and his eyes were full of anger,
Not to be outdone, the elder looked at the latter and retorted, "Do you know how many people will die if the two factions start a war, it will cause irreparable consequences
"But ......",
"Okay, don't fight anymore", Qing Yang was still trying to say something, but the voice of the head Gao Yun sounded above the hall, stopping everyone's discussion,
Everyone stopped talking, and they all looked at Gao Yun, wanting to hear how the head of the family would decide on this matter.
Gao Yun breathed a long sigh of relief, and watched the latter slowly speak, "Ling Cang is my personal disciple of the Huashan faction, he died at the hands of another sect, this matter can't be just settled",
Qing Yang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Gao Yun and asked, "Master, then what should we do next?"
Gao Yun's expression was serious, and after a moment of silence, he looked at His Highness and everyone and continued
"The matter of the Buddhist sect knocking Ling Cang off the cliff is not only a matter of justice for Ling Cang alone, but also involves the majesty of my first sword gate in China, my own disciple was killed by other sects, if we ignore this matter, then we will inevitably lose face in front of the major factions, and our Huashan faction will also be laughed at by the martial arts people in the world, so this time, both public and private, we must ask the Buddhists for an explanation."
The previous elder listened quietly in His Highness, and after Gao Yun finished saying this, his face was also full of solemnity, he thought about it again and again, and still stood up and hugged his fist at Gao Yun,
"Boss, but once the contradiction between the two sides expands, it is very likely to lead to sectarian disputes, and the loss to us will be immeasurable, please think twice before acting",
Gao Yun nodded, and did not refute what the elder said, but looked at His Highness and continued,
"What Elder Yan said is reasonable, the Buddhism's approach this time is biased, and it blatantly attacks our disciples and causes people to fall off the cliff, our Huashan faction must ask for an explanation, but ......",
Gao Yun paused for a moment when he said this, and then continued randomly,
"We also have to think of a proper way to deal with it, just like Elder Yan said, we should try to avoid the possibility of war in this process, this is not a show of weakness, but for the sake of the overall situation, as for the specific way to do, I will give you an explanation."
Gao Yun closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief,
"Now let's go and deal with the affairs of the door."
Gao Yun slowly spoke, ending the discussion,
The head spoke, and His Royal Highness naturally stopped talking, and got up one after another and walked towards the outside of the hall.
"Master, we ......",
Qing Yang seemed to want to say something more, Gao Yun raised his hand to stop him, the latter had a little confusion and unwillingness on his face, and after a pause, he still walked out of the hall with his fists clenched,
