"Oh?" When Yue Buqun heard this, he seemed to have a smile on his face, and asked, "Tell me, what is the situation that the teacher has not been able to see clearly?"

"May I ask Master, is the strength of the Shaolin faction and the Wudang faction stronger, or is the strength of my Wuyue Sword Sect stronger?" Xu Yang asked rhetorically.

Yue Buqun replied without thinking: "Naturally, Shaolin and Wudang are stronger. These two factions are the Taishan Beidou of the Central Plains martial arts, and the background can be described as unfathomable. Although my Wuyue Sword Sect has risen, it is still only a larger sect in the martial arts, and it has to join forces to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses and compete with the Demon Sect. ”

"Ah!" Xu Yang applauded: "In that case, then why has my Wuyue Sword Sect been at the forefront for more than a hundred years, desperately trying to exhaust the strength of the Demon Sect disciples to maintain the stability of the Central Plains Martial Arts?

"It's because ......" Yue Buqun found himself stuck.

After all, he really never thought about it.

Less* dang, a martial arts leader.

Who is so bold as to question what these two factions are doing?

"Both factions are monks, or they don't want to kill too much. Yue Buqun forcibly defended the two factions, and said: "What's more, every time the Wuyue Sword Sect is defeated by the Demon Sect, it sends people to ask for help, and the two factions will always send masters down the mountain to relieve the siege for my Wuyue Sword Sect." He also sacrificed the masters of the faction more than once to maintain the Wuyue Sword Sect. If they want to retain their strength and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, why do they do this?"

"Master, you've finally got to the point. Xu Yang said with a smile: "The monks don't want to kill? The disciple heard that many years ago, the killing of Shaolin and Wudang was no less than that of any secular sect. As for the Wuyue Sword Sect calling for help when it is in danger, they will naturally send a master to rescue them, because a balanced martial arts is the martial arts they need. ”

Yue Buqun was a little puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Xu Yang sighed secretly, this martial arts person really can't play politics.

"The Demon Sect is invading, and they are naturally unwilling to stand alone, they need someone to stand up to the front and consume the strength of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect for them. ”

"At that time, the new forces in the rivers and lakes led by the Wuyue Sword Sect happened to rise, and it was just right to use it as a shield, no more, no less. ”

"Once you provoke the Wuyue Sword Sect and the Demon Sect to make enemies, you can stay out of the matter in order to develop. Not only can he secretly support the Wuyue Sword Sect as a shield, but he can also maintain his martial arts transcendent status of Taishan Beidou. ”

"If the Demon Sect is superior and the Wuyue Sword Sect is weak, they will naturally send masters to maintain the balance, which is called support. If the Demon Sect is weak, Shao* will naturally withdraw the masters who came to help. On the contrary, at this time, they will also send people to secretly provoke contradictions within the Wuyue Sword Sect, so that Wuyue will not be able to really clench into a fist in the end. ”

"That's because the rise of the Wuyue Sword Sect is also inevitable. Once the people in power in the five factions have no distracting thoughts and really pinch the big guys together, then not only is the Demon Sect invincible, but even the position of Shao Dang may not be stable. ”

"Master, are you right when you say that the disciple said?"

At first, Yue Buqun tried to refute the little apprentice's nonsense, but as he listened, he suddenly felt that what this kid said was quite reasonable.

His life of more than sixty years has not been in vain, although it is difficult to pay attention to the experience over the years, some unreasonable clues still remain in Yue Buqun's mind.

But now that I think about it, it's true.

Not to mention anything else, just in the case of the Huashan Sect, the source of the split between the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect within the sect back then was the "Sunflower Treasure Book".

And the origin of the "Sunflower Treasure Book" happened to be that the two masters of the Huashan faction visited the Shaolin Temple in Putian and secretly read the collection of books in the Zangjing Pavilion.

Now that I think about it, even if the two masters of the Huashan faction, Yue Su and Cai Zifeng, had high martial arts skills, it was absolutely impossible for them to sneak into the Shaolin Temple Hidden Scripture Pavilion without being discovered.

It is difficult to say what the purpose of Shaolin's move is.

At that time, the Huashan faction was the leader of the Wuyue Sword faction.

In addition to the two top masters of Yue Su and Cai Zifeng, there are also a large number of elders and masters who are proficient in swordsmanship or internal strength.

Soon after obtaining the "Sunflower Treasure Book", because of the different martial arts concepts comprehended from it, the sect was divided into two major factions: the Qi Sect and the Sword Sect.

Just because he had the "Sunflower Treasure Book" in his hand, he was attacked by the Demon Sect who coveted this martial arts book, Yue Cai and the others were killed, and the faction suffered heavy casualties.

Having lost the person in actual power, the two sects of sword and qi finally started a life-and-death struggle because of who was the right unification of each other, and ended up losing both.

After that battle, the strength of the Huashan faction fell to the bottom of the Wuyue Sword Sect.

If there was no Shaolin or Wudang intervention in this, Yue Buqun would never believe it.

Digging further into the source, the rise of the Wuyue Sword Sect and the invasion of the Demon Sect happened in almost the same era.

The origin of the Shaolin and Wudang factions killing people with knives is not groundless.

If the Wuyue Sword Sect wants to grab enough resources, it will inevitably have conflicts with the original famous factions led by Shao Dang.

But at this time, the Sun and Moon Demon Sect invaded, and with a little provocation, he could naturally turn the spearhead of the Wuyue Sword Sect to the Demon Sect.

Once the two sides have formed a life-and-death feud, what can those trivial conflicts with the Central Plains martial arts be counted?

People's hearts are unpredictable, the sea is immeasurable, even if it is more than a hundred years away, Yue Buqun still feels the deep malice hidden in it.

It seems that this Shaolin and Wudang are really not good people.

"What do you mean?" Yue Buqun tried to test Xu Yang.

"What the disciple means is that since the current situation is favorable to my Huashan faction, then why bother to be the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect. It's better to directly fight for the alliance leader of the martial arts under the sky!"

As soon as these words came out, even with Yue Buqun's state of mind, he was inevitably taken aback.

This kid's mind is far darker than his own.

Xu Yang said again: "Then the Songshan faction exterminated the faction, I'm afraid it was also done by the master, right?"

Yue Buqun nodded, he didn't destroy the Songshan faction to take revenge, on the contrary, he had a plan.

"I'm afraid that among those masters that Shizun subdued in Luoyang before, there is Zuo Lengchan's junior brother, right?" Xu Yang said with a smile.

Yue Buqun was a little surprised by Xu Yang's intelligence, but remembering that he had also fought with these people, he should be able to see the martial arts foundation of these people, and he was relieved.

"That's right, two of them are Zuo Lengchan's junior disciples, and they are also among the thirteen Taibao. ”

"That is to say, the Songshan faction and my Huashan faction have become two factions one. Xu Yang pondered for a while, and said: "There are three remaining factions, and the disciples have also been kind to them, if the disciples become the leaders of this alliance, they will not object." ”

Yue Buqun said angrily: "As a teacher, you haven't become the leader of the Wuyue Alliance, what is the matter if you come to insert a lever?"

"The master is gentle, and the current state of the master is really not easy to convince people. Xu Yang's ugly words didn't come out, just hinted at them.

"It doesn't matter if they don't accept it. If anyone is not convinced, he will kill whoever is the teacher!" Yue Buqun smiled coldly.

"Under such hard pressure, can the forcibly fused Wuyue Sword Sect still be regarded as the real Wuyue Sword Sect?" Xu Yang asked rhetorically.

"Then what do you mean to oppose the teacher's plan?" Yue Buqun showed a ruthless look, stared at Xu Yang tightly, and asked word by word.

"The disciple didn't dare, the kindness of the master who took in the disciple back then, even if the disciple repaid it, it would be difficult to repay it. After that, he taught his disciples the swordsmanship of the Huashan School and the secrets of "Zixia Divine Skill", great kindness and great virtue, the disciples remembered it in their hearts, how could they oppose the teacher?!" Xu Yang's words were very clear, he did not object to Yue Buqun himself, on the contrary, he supported Yue Buqun's purpose very much.

Unify the Wuyue Sword Sect first, and then talk about other things.

But he opposed Yue Buqun's plan.

Forcibly merging in this way, Yue Buqun is nothing more than Zuo Lengchan's second.

A nominally forcibly unified Wuyue Sword Sect is full of internal contradictions, and if it wants to be integrated, it will take two or three generations of efforts to succeed.

Can't wait.

Not to mention that this is only a theoretical possibility, but in practice, who can guarantee that the Demon Sect, Shaolin, and Wudang will not interfere?

Yue Buqun obviously heard Xu Yang's thoughts, so he asked, "You kid, you think about orderliness. What are your plans?"

"The disciple has also foiled the conspiracy of the Demon Sect several times during this trip, whether it is the Tianmen Daoist of the Taishan Sect, Mr. Mo Da of the Hengshan Sect, or the Dingxian Master of the Hengshan Sect, they all owe the disciple a favor. Xu Yang said slowly.

"Go on. ”

"If Shizun were to be the leader of this alliance, they would naturally be wary, thinking that the Huashan faction wanted to annex their inheritance. Xu Yang explained as he spoke: "The disciples are different, the disciples' status is low, and they are not as able to convince the public as the master, and the martial arts are naturally not as good as the master." They will think that the disciple is not a real threat. There will also be fewer thoughts of opposition. ”

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "Isn't that a teacher......?"

Xu Yang said with a smile: "The disciple is not here, if he becomes the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect, after the Guangzong Yao Ancestor, he will naturally ask the master to be the chief protector of the Wuyue Sword Sect." When the time comes, won't the master have the final say?"

Yue Buqun didn't know that now that Xu Yang's martial arts had entered the realm, he had no choice but to cultivate the "Sword Technique to Ward Off Evil Spirits". Naturally, he didn't think that Xu Yang would be his opponent at this moment.

Xu Yang happened to be happy that Yue Buqun had such an understanding.

"There seems to be some truth to what you said. Yue Buqun pondered for a long time, and finally made a statement.

He also knew that in his current state, he was really not suitable to appear under the scrutiny of everyone.

On the other hand, if you are just a general protector, you can avoid everyone's attention under the pretext of retreat, and you can control the overall situation behind the scenes.

At the same time, his little apprentice, in order to take revenge, was even willing to give up the invincible kung fu of "Evil Sword Spectrum". Then the false name of a Wuyue Sword Sect Alliance Leader was enough for him to be satisfied.

As for the real power, it is still controlled by him Yue Buqun, which is what impresses Yue Buqun the most.
