Duan Mingze looked at them with disdain and said, "You have to thank your senior uncle, if there are a group of small minions like you in other sects, even if you want me to kill a hundred, it's not too much." ”

At this time, Lu Guisheng said to all the disciples of the Qingcheng faction under his command: "Our Qingcheng faction not only has no status in the rivers and lakes, but its martial arts are the weakest among all sects, and we have suffered the white eyes and humiliation of other sects in the martial arts, but we can't change the reality. If you want to change the status quo, the only way to take refuge in the imperial court is to help the imperial court eliminate the other sects one by one, and only then can our Qingcheng faction have a chance to become the supreme martial arts leader! The reason why the Bloody Clothes Sect did not embarrass us this time is to help us achieve the wish of the martial arts supreme, and the reason why they want to pretend to be the White Lotus Sect to attack our five major factions is to provoke contradictions between other sects and the White Lotus Sect. ”

Lu Guisheng's remarks made Sun Zhijian feel disappointed in his heart, he never thought that the head of the Qingcheng faction he loved would degenerate into the company of the imperial court, and he didn't care about the face of being the head of the Qingcheng faction, so he asked in an accentuated tone: "How can you be so spineless, in order to become the supreme of martial arts, you want to be with the imperial court, to be a lackey of the imperial court, are you still worthy of the ancestors of my Qingcheng faction, do you still have a little dignity?"

Sun Zhijian's words made Lu Guisheng feel ashamed in his heart at this time, he lowered his head and was silent, feeling that he was indeed like he said, and he did not dare to face those Qingcheng faction brothers under him.

And Li Jingyun said at this time: "The so-called people who know the times are Junjie, the White Lotus Sect is just a group of rabble, they will one day boast that they will not be able to achieve the climate, and it is simply a fool's dream to overthrow the imperial court." The current world is the world of the Mongols, and it is the general trend to submit to the imperial court, and there is no good end to opposing the imperial court. ”

After listening to Li Jingyun's words, Sun Zhijian still scolded angrily: "Senior brother, when did you become so spineless, so cowardly, and willing to be a dog of the imperial court, are you worthy of Master's teachings and cultivation in the past as a senior brother of the Qingcheng faction?"

But Li Jingyun said disapprerovingly at this time: "Hahaha, you are wrong. I don't really worship under your Qingcheng faction, I'm just an undercover agent of the Bloody Clothes Sect, your master hired some martial arts scum to pretend to be a disciple of my Qingcheng faction to attack Kunlun Mountain and marry Mei Ruolan, how can such a person be qualified to be my master. ”

Hearing Li Jingyun say this, Sun Zhijian completely understood his conspiracy, so he pointed his finger at him and said to her: "It turns out that you instigated our head to go to Huashan that day was completely premeditated! What you are waiting for is this day. ”

"That's right, what I'm waiting for is the day when I persuade your Qingcheng faction to defect to the imperial court, this is also to change the fate of your Qingcheng faction, if your Qingcheng faction wants to turn over, the only way is to take refuge in the imperial court. ”

However, Sun Zhijian, who has always been upright, has long seen through the corruption of the imperial court, and the exploitation and oppression of the Han people by the Mongol rulers is basically impossible for him to surrender to the imperial court.

"Bah, the rule of the Yuan Dynasty has long been unpopular, those Mongolian nobles only know how to oppress our Han people on weekdays, and regard us Han people as livestock, if we Han people want to change their fate, the only way for us Han people to change their fate is to overthrow the Yuan Dynasty and change the dynasty, if I want to surrender to the court, it is absolutely impossible, not only do I not agree, but all the senior brothers and disciples of our Qingcheng faction will not agree. ”

And the opinions of the Qingcheng faction disciples beside him were also the same as Sun Zhijian's, so they responded in unison: "That's right, the Qingcheng faction will never surrender to the imperial court." ”

At this time, Shangguan Yu stood in front of Sun Zhijian and some other disciples of the Qingcheng faction and smiled contemptuously: "Hahaha, you keep saying that you want to overthrow the imperial court and change the fate of the Han people, but what is your current status in the rivers and lakes? Aren't you still excluded by other sects, snubbed by other sects, and despised and ridiculed by other sects, even if you really change the dynasty, what then? Isn't it the same that you will be looked down upon by other sects and trampled under your feet forever?"

Hearing Shangguan Yu say this, the hearts of some Qingcheng Sect disciples began to undergo subtle changes.

One of the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect said: "What he said is right! Our Qingcheng Sect has no status in the rivers and lakes at all, and its martial arts are not high, and we are often ridiculed and ridiculed by the disciples of other sects, even if we change dynasties, what if we change dynasties?"

"That's right, he is right, our Qingcheng sect disciples don't have any festivals with the imperial court on weekdays, so why do we care if this world is Han or Mongolian. ”

"That is, since the imperial court is willing to help us change our status in the rivers and lakes, what does it matter if we submit to them. ”

"Yes, what we should be thinking about at the moment is to change the status of our sect in the rivers and lakes, and we can't keep being belittled and excluded by other sects like this. ”

And the comments of several of them made Sun Zhijian feel a burst of anger in his heart at this time, so he scolded: "How can you be so spineless, the Mongols are the mortal enemies of our Han people, are you willing to abandon the national righteousness and be a lackey of the Mongols for the rest of your life?"

At this time, the blood-clothed envoy glanced at Shangguan Yu beside him with that sharp and cold gaze and a contemptuous expression, and said coldly: "Shangguan Sect Master, it seems that your disciples are unwilling to listen to you! If you don't discipline you strictly, where is the prestige of your new head of the sect?"

Before Shangguan Yu could speak, Lu Guisheng did not hesitate to pull out the sword on his body and stabbed a sword into Sun Zhijian's abdomen.

"Master Lu, why ......"

Sun Zhijian, who was stabbed in the abdomen, endured the sharp pain in his body, used up the last bit of strength in his body, and asked in a hoarse voice while spitting blood in his mouth.

Lu Guisheng leaned Sun Zhijian's head on his shoulder with his hand, and said expressionlessly: "Senior Brother Sun, don't blame me, I have to do this in order to get Mei Ruolan, I'm sorry." ”

After finishing speaking, Lu Guisheng forcefully pulled out the sword pierced Sun Zhijian's abdomen, and Sun Zhijian was killed on the spot.

Then he said to all the remaining disciples of the Qingcheng faction: "If there is anyone who disagrees in the future, it will end up like him, our Qingcheng faction can only change its fate with the help of the power of the imperial court, and not be oppressed by other sects, this is our only way out." ”

Then, he turned to face his uncle Shangguan Yu, then knelt down on one knee, arched his arm and said respectfully: "Meet the new head of the sect, my subordinates are willing to swear to follow the head of Shangguan to help the court exterminate the White Lotus Sect and the thieves, share the worries of the court and eliminate other major sects, and always be loyal to the court." ”

And the other disciples who were bound also all knelt down, willingly bowed at Shangguan Yu's feet, and said in unison with joy and convincing: "The Qingcheng faction is willing to obey the dispatch of Uncle Shangguan and be loyal to the imperial court, and there is no second heart. ”

This result made Shangguan Yu naturally feel very satisfied at this time, he happily showed a bright smile, spread his arms and said in acceptance: "Hahaha, please get up, please get up, returning to the imperial court is a new beginning for our Qingcheng faction, and after we eliminate the White Lotus Sect and other martial arts sects, our Qingcheng faction will be able to become the supreme martial arts." ”

"The head is wise, the head is wise. ”

After a few days and nights of travel, the team of the Bloody Cloth Sect led by the Bloody Messenger finally secretly returned to the capital.

In order to avoid the eyes of the White Lotus Sect hidden in Dadu, their actions were extremely low-key, and they deliberately chose to secretly enter the palace in disguise as an official at the time of the third watch, and met Princess Wu Min, the princess of Mingxia, who was anxiously waiting for them at this time.

When the blood-clothed envoy and Broken Tianya, who were wearing official clothes, took off their disguises, they couldn't help but complain: "In order to avoid the eyeliner of the White Lotus Sect, I have to wear this clothes that I am not used to. ”
