Chapter 186 Conspiracy
Sighing, Ning Hongyuan was no longer too entangled in such a thing, and began to practice swords wholeheartedly.
On July 15, there are still two days left before this grand event.
People who like to engage in intrigue always like to do things that cannot be made public at night, because they feel that doing so will reassure them, and it is precisely for this reason that the night in the troubled times has never been quiet.
The Divine Sword Sect is not peaceful, and the same is true of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, if it is peaceful, then it is not called a troubled world.
Now, the Shadowless Old Man has become the new sect master, controlling the army and controlling the center of power, but this does not mean that he can fully control the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, he has only completed the first step of the action plan, and things are not as rapid as Ning Yiwu imagined.
Yesterday at the meeting of the Divine Sword Sect, one of Ning Yiwu's subordinates, that is, the outstanding female Vermilion Bird Holy Envoy, suggested to him that he take advantage of the chaos to take the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
She meant to unite with other forces that opposed the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, taking advantage of the fact that the Shadowless Old Man had an unstable foundation and had conflicting interests with those elders, and jointly seized the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in one go.
This seemed to be a very good idea, but Ning Yiwu did not adopt it.
Because Ning Yiwu knew very well that now his Divine Sword Sect was still a second-rate force, and he suddenly appeared to be a leading big brother, and in doing so, not only would he not achieve the corresponding results, but would make the Divine Sword Sect a place of no return.
Empathy, if one day Ning Yiwu suddenly becomes a first-class force, and a second-rate force suddenly emerges, as the leading brother wants to take him to fight another first-class force, will Ning Yiwu agree?
Only a fool would agree.
Therefore, he can only wait, only wait for the road of this war to come, and make all kinds of defensive measures for this reason, in addition, he has no choice, and he will never take the initiative to provoke an incident if he goes out to defend and counterattack.
Although it is said that the Divine Sword Sect is also a famous and upright family appointed by the first emperor, it is orthodox, but due to various reasons, the Divine Sword Sect has missed opportunities again and again in the mediocrity of the sect masters of the past dynasties, so it cannot be among the first-class forces in the Heavenly Domain.
Ning Yiwu didn't want to grasp the initiative of the war and take advantage of the chaos to attack the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but if he did this, it would make the Shadowless Old Man and that group of people twist together, and it would also bury the foundation of the ancestors.
The courtyard of the Blue Dragon Holy Envoy of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was extremely simple, and in the huge courtyard, in addition to the basic housing facilities, there was only one pavilion, a garden, a cultivation room, and of course, the study room that he valued the most.
His study was a sacred place that no one could easily access, and it not only housed a variety of martial arts collections, but also many precious historical documents, which he valued more than his own life.
Those shrewd and capable sect masters all hoped to be able to get his help, such as Zhao Dinglong and Ning Yiwu, and even the Guanghan Fairy, who had always regarded men as nothing, was very polite to him.
It can be said that he is a first-class person with excellent popularity.
And the reason why he betrayed the old man was naturally because he really couldn't continue to endure the old man's stubbornness, as well as the centralized rule of the old man, and most importantly, the old man couldn't listen to his opinion at all.
So, he had to resist, even though he knew it was unjust.
The Blue Dragon Envoy likes to practice swords and read, and in this dark world where women and power are regarded as glory, his practice is ridiculous, but he is also respected by many people, such as Zhao Dinglong and Ning Yiwu.
He was very fond of reading, formations, ghost paths, history, geography, etc., and he was very proficient in everything, and because of his knowledge, those who were in high power gave him three points of courtesy, and his family rose with it.
He is very friendly and polite, such as the Zhao Valley Lord of Qingyin Valley, and the Ziyu Zhenren of the Purple Jade Sect, all of whom are his friends.
His name is Ye Chengyi, he is a very elegant person, this is the name he changed to himself, Chengyi, honest in Qingyi, homophonic sincerity, if in adversity, why not just be chic and elegant? If in good times, why can't you be sincere to others? This is his motto.
The sky was hazy and white, and the bitter night had passed.
The Qinglong envoy was reading wholeheartedly in the room, although his martial realm strength was not ranked in the top ten in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but no one dared to surpass the knowledge of the martial realm.
There were not many people in the courtyard, and there was only one servant besides his family.
He is a person who likes to be pure, there are naturally not many people in the family, not even a maid, like him, there are really few loud people who don't like to recruit maids, except for Ning Yiwu, there are only him, even Zhao Dinglong has more than ten or twenty maids.
He believes that in today's troubled times, the maid may be a spy, or it may be used because of ignorance, and over time, it must be a disaster.
Although his strength in the martial arts realm is not the first, he has three swordsmen under him who swear to follow him.
"Sir, the Suzaku envoy sent a letter for you. His servant asked for this outside the study.
Qinglong didn't frown, "Don't look at it!"
"Yes!"
The servant was not surprised, and with a little soul fire spell, he turned the letter to ashes.
At this time, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky next to the Qinglong envoy, "You are still so smart! They wooed you like that, why didn't you agree to them?"
The Blue Dragon Envoy put down the yellowed scroll in his hand and said lightly, "Why should I promise them?"
His eyes were as sharp as a condor, and every word was spoken with great calmness.
After saying that, he picked up the scroll again and began to read, his eyes so focused.
He had become accustomed to doing two things, reading a book and talking to this mysterious man.
"Didn't they promise to give you the position of the Shadowless Old Man when the matter was completed?, why didn't you agree?" Although the Shadow Man's tone sounded a little arrogant, he actually respected the Blue Dragon Envoy very much.
The Blue Dragon Envoy snorted coldly, "Seats, hmph, they don't even have their lives, will I go and make a deal with the dead? I only pity those people who suffer with them." ”
It turned out that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had been extremely uneasy in the past few days, and as Ning Yiwu had guessed, now the Shadowless Old Man had only completed the first step of the coup.
Everyone knows that a coup d'état means a redistribution of the cake, but these co-conspirators who staged the coup d'état often make a big deal out of each other again because of the uneven distribution of the new cake.
In the face of interests, there are never friends to speak of, only collaborators and betrayers.
Obviously, now the Ten Thousand Swords Sect has become a mess again, after the successful coup d'état of the Shadowless Old Man, these elders who supported him in launching the coup d'état and the Shadowless Old Man could not reach an agreement of interests, since they could not reach an agreement of interests, there was only a second coup d'état.
The difference of interests between these people in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was that the Shadowless Old Man wanted to control certain industries with high profits, such as the pill industry, the weapon industry, the spell industry, and so on, but these elders wanted to gain monopoly rights in these industries.
Monopoly power means windfall profits, full profiteering, and this kind of profiteering will paralyze people's judgment.
Of course, because of the lessons of the past, the Shadowless Old Man was still very polite to them, as the new sect master, he held meetings with these elders again and again, and at the meetings, he tried his best to reach a "peace agreement" with these elders in favor of both sides, and there was no bloodshed because of this.
Even though the Shadowless Old Man was the head of a sect, he still made concessions, such as the pill industry, he could give full authority to these families to manage, but he hoped that the family power in charge of this industry could take a certain share to help him expand his combat preparations.
It's a pity that the Shadowless Elder's concession made these elders think he was cowardly, so these elders asked for more instead.
Tonight, like the Divine Sword Sect, these elders were also holding a secret meeting.
In order to make this conference bigger and intimidate the ears and eyes of the Shadowless Old Man, they hope that every high-ranking person will be able to participate in this meeting except for the Shadowless Old Man.
The Blue Dragon Envoy was naturally an extremely powerful person in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and his prestige was extremely high, so he was among the invitations of these elders.
The Shadow Man smiled slightly, "The old guy without a shadow has done enough to be benevolent and righteous, just let them take out a part of these profiteering industries, not let them hand them all over." ”
"They think that they control these economic lifelines, they can do whatever they want, they think that if the Shadowless Old Man kills them, these pillar industries will definitely collapse, they think that the Shadowless Old Man is worried about the economic collapse of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and dare not attack them, so they want to get more, they want to pull me into the water, people like them who are capricious, they just overthrew the old man with white eyebrows yesterday, and now they are plotting to push the old man from power because of their disagreement, how can I cooperate with such a person?" The Blue Dragon Holy Envoy squeezed the ancient book fiercely in his hand, and the ancient book seemed to be crushed by him.
"They intend to make you the next puppet, and if you don't meet their demands, they'll do the same to you. ”
