Chapter 309: The Court is Full of Politics
Inside the Shaolin Temple, in front of the burned-down Heavenly King Hall, the Shaolin lay disciples were filled with righteous indignation and cursed the evil sect for going too far. The two eminent monks, Fang Jing and Fang Sheng, were there to appease the heroes.

Inside the main hall, Master Fang Zheng was receiving Jie Feng from the Beggars' Sect. The old monk was extremely grateful to the Beggars' Sect for coming to his aid at the critical moment.

At this time, a novice monk came in, bowed and said, "Master Abbot, Songshan Sect's Left Alliance Leader and the heads of the Five Mountains Sword Sects are here to help, and they are almost at the mountain gate."

Upon hearing this, Master Fang Zheng could not help but sigh, "Amitabha, Alliance Leader Zuo is already a military commander in the imperial court, yet he still remembers the principles of chivalry and justice. He is truly a man of chivalry and courage! Please wait here, Chief Jie. I will go and greet the heroes from the Five Mountains Sword Sects."

"I will go with Master Fang Zheng!" Jie Feng stood up and said with a smile, "My Beggars' Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect have cooperated many times, and we are old friends."

"Thank you, Gang Leader Jie."

The two men walked out of the main hall and came to the main gate, where they saw a banner and five large flags in the distance.

The four characters "Five Mountains Sword Sects" were written in a flamboyant style on the banner, and following it were five shorter but equally spectacular large flags arranged in neat rows. On each flag was the name of the sect written in vigorous and powerful words: Mount Tai in the East, Mount Heng in the South, Mount Hua in the West, Mount Heng in the North, and Mount Song in the Center.

Master Fang Zheng walked to the front of the crowd, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, thank you all the heroes from the Five Mountains Sword Sect for coming to help. It is a blessing for the martial arts world to be able to gather with you all here today."

Upon hearing this, everyone bowed and greeted him in return.

Zuo Lengchan, as the leader of the alliance, was the first to speak: "Master Fangzheng, you are too polite. The Demon Cult is rampant, and as a member of the righteous path, our Five Mountains Sword Sect should contribute our humble efforts."

Master Fang Zheng smiled gently and led everyone into the main hall, where the novice monk had already arranged the seats.

After everyone was seated one by one and the novice monk served tea, everyone began to discuss the incident.

Master Fang Zheng told the whole story, and then said in confusion: "I still don't understand why the Demon Sect's Wind and Thunder Hall Master Tong Baixiong attacked Shaolin. I don't understand Donor Dongfang's subsequent behavior at all."

Yue Buqun then asked, "Are Tong Baixiong and Dongfang Bubai close friends?"

"Mr. Yue, you don't know him," Jie Feng explained, "Tong Baixiong is a man of loyalty and righteousness. Dongfang Bubai was originally under Tong Baixiong's command, and he took good care of him. In order to save Dongfang Bubai's life, he fought a life-and-death battle with the Seven Tigers of Ludong. This incident was widely praised by the martial arts world."

“So that’s how it is.” Yue Buqun nodded. With such deep friendship, he should definitely save him.

Lao Yue thought for a moment and hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not speak his mind.

The group discussed from morning to afternoon, analyzing the current whereabouts of the Demon Cult one by one, but they felt there was something inexplicably strange, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

Zuo Lengchan looked at the sketch he had drawn with a sharp gaze, and suddenly pointed to a location and said, "Judging from the whereabouts of the various leaders of the Demon Sect, their target should be here."

When everyone saw it, they suddenly understood!

Previously, everyone thought that Dongfang Bubai was coming to Shaolin to rescue Tong Baixiong. Analyzing from this line of thought, they found that the positions of the various members of the Demon Cult were like two palms combined, as if they wanted to flatten Shaolin, but the north and south sides were very lax, and Shaolin could completely get out of the encirclement.

However, Zuo Lengchan finally cleared up the mystery with just one finger.

The place they wanted to encircle was the Ancestral Mountain, and Shaolin just happened to be on the periphery of their circle.

"Alliance Leader Zuo, could this be Dongfang Bubai's plan of 'repairing the plank roads in the open while marching through Chencang in secret'?" Yue Buqun asked, stroking his beard.

“This is not an easy task,” Zuo Lengchan shook his head and said, “Even the Sun Moon Demon Sect would find it difficult to achieve a tactical migration of this scale.”

Ancestral Mountain.
Ren Woxing and his group are now stationed here.

Master Fang Zheng's eyes fixed, as if he was thinking about something.

So Dongfang Bubai is planning to fight against Ren Woxing?

Then, aren't the actions of Shaolin in recent days just like a clown? !

At this time, Master Fang Sheng brought Taoist Chongxu into the hall, and everyone stood up and exchanged greetings again.

Taoist Chongxu looked at Master Fangzheng and said, "Master, I have traveled day and night, and on the way here, I accidentally learned a piece of news that the person that Donor Dongfang wants to deal with this time should be Mr. Ren, not the righteous people of the martial arts world like us."

Master Fang Zheng was speechless. If you had sent me a message a day in advance, Shaolin would not have put up such a big battle. Now, under Shaolin's operation, who in the martial arts world doesn't know that there will be a battle between good and evil?
Now Dongfang Bubai says to attack Ren Woxing, so he attacks Ren Woxing?
He Shaolin doesn't agree!

"Amitabha."

Master Fang Zheng finally regained his clarity of mind after chanting a Buddhist name in a low voice. He looked at Zuo Lengchan and the others, smiled bitterly and said, "This sudden change has confused my thoughts. I don't know what to do for a moment."

When everyone heard this, their expressions became gloomy, and they couldn't help feeling helpless.

Having prepared for a life-and-death fight with the opponent, only to find that the opponent completely disdains it, this situation is really too much.

Zuo Lengchan looked at everyone present, smiled and suggested: "All the heroes of the righteous path are gathered here today, why don't we take this opportunity to join forces and annihilate the two demons Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai in one fell swoop, and eliminate the great threat to us."

After these words were spoken, everyone felt hesitant.

There was a flicker of hesitation in Yu Jizi's eyes from Taishan Sect. At this moment he missed his nephew, the sect leader, who was researching gunpowder in the capital.

Master Ding Xian of the Hengshan School had a determined look on her face. In her opinion, if she could eliminate the scourge for the martial arts world forever in her generation, it would be a great merit.

However, no matter what the idea was, Zuo Lengchan's proposal was like throwing a huge rock into everyone's peaceful heart, instantly stirring up a thousand waves that were difficult to calm down for a while.

Zuo Lengchan looked at the excited people and added, "Opportunities are rare. If you miss this good opportunity, who can predict when the next opportunity will come?"

"Opportunity is rare and will never come back." Yue Buqun also said.

Taoist Chongxu stroked his beard and said with great passion: "If that's the case, then we will eradicate this scourge of the Sun Moon Divine Sect for the righteous martial arts world!"

"Good, good!" Master Fang Zheng clasped his hands together, smiled and nodded.

Yu Jizi suddenly asked, "So between Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing, there has to be a first come first served, right? Who should we kill first?"

Upon hearing this, Zuo Lengchan immediately recalled the scene of being taught by Ou Zanghua in Hengshan County a year ago.

He remembered Ou Zanghua saying that although Dongfang Bubai was the best in the world, he did not have much ambition, so the Demon Cult had not made any major moves during these years when it was strong.

In contrast, during the years when Ren Woxing was in power, there were constant conflicts in the martial arts world, like a volcano that could erupt at any time.

Therefore, if Ren Woxing is killed, the worst that can happen to the martial arts world is that it will return to its original state. If Ren Woxing is lucky enough to survive when Dongfang Bubai is killed, it may be a catastrophe!
Thinking of this, Zuo Lengchan said decisively: "First kill Ren Woxing, then destroy Dongfang Bubai!"

Master Fang Zheng looked at Zuo Lengchan with some surprise, and said with a smile: "My idea coincides with that of Mr. Zuo."

Taoist Chongxu looked at the reactions of the two and didn't understand the twists and turns for a moment, but he had been following Shaolin for these years and had not suffered any loss, so he said calmly: "If that's the case, then it's settled!"

After the three leaders made a unanimous decision, the people below had no choice but to follow orders and take action.

For a while, the troops of the righteous martial arts world also moved towards the direction of the Ancestral Mountain. Under the command of Zuo Lengchan, they even blocked the missed parts of Dongfang Bubai's encirclement, as if they were ready to cooperate with Dongfang to kill Lao Ren.

Ren Woxing was so angry that he was furious in the Juyi Hall, "How dare they do this? Who gave them the courage?!"

Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian who had already returned also had grim expressions on their faces. They had expected the righteous martial arts world to get involved, but they had not expected them to do this.

Among the three forces, Dongfang Bubai has the highest combat power and the largest number of people.

A normal person’s choice would be to join forces with the third and second in command to take down the eldest boss!
How could the third brother join forces with the eldest brother to kill the second brother?
What's the difference between this and Lu Meng's sneak attack on Jingzhou? !

Ren Woxing cursed, "Zuo Lengchan is eager for quick success, Fangzheng is ignorant of the big picture, and Chongxu is short-sighted! They are all a bunch of rubbish. No wonder the righteous martial arts world has not made any progress over the years. With the abilities of these three, the righteous martial arts world still has its heritage. We should thank Dongfang Bubai for being an idiot!"

Linghu Chong sat below Ren Yingying. He was dragged here by Lan Fenghuang. At this moment, he listened to Ren Woxing scolding the three great masters of the righteous martial arts world. He looked embarrassed and thought to himself: "Mr. Ren, why do you have to do this!"

　Thank you for the reward and support from Tingyu Shanju!

　　Thanks to Yunjian Feihong for the reward and support!
　　There are a lot of things to do this week, so the updates are not very stable. I’m sorry to all the bosses, I will try my best to adjust it back next week!
