Chapter 434: One Mountain Cannot Contain Two Tigers
? The former alliance of five sects, with the annexation of the Jinguang sect, and Yu Qingzong's entry into the second-rate ranks, has already existed in name only.
Among the remaining three sects, the Qingyue Sword Sect, which has always been the head of the five sects, was originally indifferent in the alliance. After all, they also have the status of second-rate sects. And the Guangfa sect is a Buddhist sect, which is united with the Taoist sect, but they have never had too close contacts.
Especially with the rise of Yu Qingzong, those lesser sects also tried their best to curry favor with Yu Qingzong. Even some small sects that once attached to the Wuzhu Sect, because they knew the situation of the Wuzhu Sect and Yuqingzong, all switched to the embrace of Yuqingzong.
Therefore, the days of the Wuzhu Sect in the past few years have really been somewhat lonely.
The Wuzhu Sect is a third-rate sect after all, and without any changes in itself, it has fallen to the point of being gradually forgotten by people. Although there are reasons for Yu Qingzong's radiance over the past few years, it has to be said that this is the reality, no matter which world he is in.
However, the Wuzhu Sect finally changed its luck, and the news of Peng Gong's promotion to the Yuanshen realm spread to thousands of sects along with the invitations.
Yu Qingzong naturally also received the invitation. Peng Gong believed that he had been angered by Yu Qingzong, and he would not give it to anyone or not to Yu Qingzong.
Aren't you Yu Qingzong a cow? Don't you look down on me Wuzhupai? Lao Tzu is also a powerful Yuanshen now, and the Wuzhu Sect will soon become a second-rate sect, so what's so awesome about your Yuqing Sect! In Peng Gong's view, although Yu Qingzong is awesome now, a large part of his strength is false.
As far as Yuanshen Da Neng is concerned, although Yu Qingzong has five Yuanshen Da Neng sitting in charge, it must be known that the four of them are just elders of Ke Qing. In fact, Yu Qingzong's own primordial spirit is powerful, and there is only Mo Ru. If you look at it this way, Yuqingzong has a powerful primordial spirit, and Wuzhu sect also has a primordial spirit. The gap between Wuzhu sect and Yuqingzong is not that big.
However, Peng Gong was not stupid enough to show that the chariots and horses were fighting against Yu Qingzong. After all, there was still a gap between the two sects. What's more, you said that the four Keqing elders are not from Yuqingzong, but they will still work for Yuqingzong, so what can the Wuzhu sect compare with Yuqingzong.
Therefore, even though they had a lot of resentment towards Yu Qingzong in their hearts and found a lot of backing, the Wuzhu faction still didn't dare to confront Yu Qingzong openly. Of course, thinking of the expressions on the faces of everyone in Yu Qingzong after receiving the invitation and knowing the news, Peng Gong felt that he should be able to recover a little interest.
Indeed, at this time, the Yuqing Sect, because of the news of the Wuzhu Sect, Wu Changsheng, the head teacher, summoned all the elders to the Yuqing Hall of Yuquan Peak.
"I really didn't think of it,
The person surnamed Peng unexpectedly stepped into the realm of the primordial spirit one day. Mo Ruye, who knew the news, shook his head in disbelief and said.
In terms of seniority, Mo Rushi and Peng Gong are of the same generation, the two of them had a lot of contacts in the past, so they also have a considerable understanding of Peng Gong.
It is said that when Peng Gong attacked the realm of Yuanying, he used some tiger and wolf medicine because of his aptitude, which almost cut off the possibility of entering the realm of Yuanshen. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Shenhua Domain, and there are definitely not a few people who make this choice. After all, if you don't use those strong medicines, there is little hope of even being promoted to the Nascent Soul Realm, let alone the Nascent Soul Realm.
"Could it be that he encountered a setback when he came to borrow food, and turned his grief and anger into strength after he returned, and understood what kind of mystery?" Jin Dasheng said with a hint of sarcasm. Although Jin Dasheng was not present when Peng Gong came to borrow the Lingtao, but this matter was no secret to Yu Qingzong.
"Okay, Junior Brother Jin, don't say that anymore." Wu Changsheng stopped Jin Dasheng's ridicule, and said to everyone: "After all, the Wuzhu Sect and my Yuqing Sect came from the same source. I should send people to congratulate me, so as not to be said that I, Yu Qingzong, are petty and do not see others well."
"The head teacher cares about this friendship, but they may not take it to heart. They will only think of us when the autumn wind hits." Luo Jinniang said coldly.
In fact, since the Yuqing Sect became a second-rate sect, the Wuzhu Sect has really come to fight the autumn wind. Although it was rejected for borrowing Lingdao before, the Wuzhu sect has benefited a lot from Yu Qingzong. For example, Yu Qingzong gave the Wuzhu faction a lot of preferential treatment for the helmet that entered the False God Realm. For example, there are only a few people in the Wuzhu Sect, so how could it be possible to refine it with their own ability, and not rely on the support of Yu Qingzong.
There are also elixirs. Yu Qingzong has always provided some elixirs to the Wuzhu Sect at a very favorable price. Although it seemed to be a normal transaction, at the same price, it would be extremely difficult for Wuzhupai to buy those pills from other places. However, if Yu Qingzong wanted to buy something from the Wuzhu faction, such as Moyuzhu, such as some herbs, the Wuzhu faction would like to double the price several times.
It's just that the Yuqing Sect's family has a great career, and they don't bother to waste their energy to argue with the Wuzhu Sect for those small profits.
Wu Changsheng smiled helplessly, turned his gaze to Ye Zan, and asked, "Master Ye, I don't know that Lingdao..."
As soon as he heard Wu Changsheng's words, Ye Zan knew that Wu Changsheng was planning to use spiritual rice as a congratulatory gift! But it is also true that this spiritual rice is still quite popular in the Shenhua domain, and it will definitely be honorable to use it as a congratulatory gift. Of course, in a few more years, this spiritual rice would not be so rare, and using the spiritual rice as a congratulatory gift might cause jokes instead.
However, Ye Zan didn't care about face, and naturally he wouldn't agree to let Wu Changsheng use the Lingtao to save face, so he immediately interrupted and said with a smile: "Excuse me, Master, don't say that there is no need for this Lingtao, even if there is , I also have other uses, it is impossible for you to use it as a gift for the Wuzhu Sect."
In fact, Wu Changsheng's idea cannot be said to be wrong, after all, Wuzhu Sect has become a second-rate sect, and it is already a certainty. The two sects are both second-rate sects, and the mountain gates are so close. As the head teacher, he naturally has to consider how to improve the relationship between the two sects.
In fact, if Peng Gong was promoted to the Yuanshen realm by his own ability, Ye Zan would not be so stingy, and it is not absolutely impossible to squeeze out some spiritual rice as a gift. However, Ye Zan knew how Peng Gong was promoted to the Yuanshen realm. It can be said that from that moment on, the two sects were destined to be in opposition.
Under such circumstances, Ye Zan was naturally unwilling to bother to maintain the impossible friendly relationship.
"Headmaster, I didn't borrow the spiritual rice when I came to borrow it before. As soon as I was promoted to the realm of Yuanshen, it's not appropriate for us to send the spiritual rice as a congratulatory gift." Jin Dasheng also opposed Wu Changsheng's idea , but it is also considered from the aspect of face.
"Headmaster, you should think so. Now we use Lingtao as a congratulatory gift, which seems to be quite honorable. But after a few years, Lingtao is no longer so rare. People bring up this matter again, saying that Yu Qingzong Just take this thing as a congratulatory gift? We, Yu Qingzong, have lost all face." Ye Zan said to Wu Changsheng with a smile.
"This...well, then I'll arrange something else." Wu Changsheng couldn't help shaking his head and smiling wryly after hearing Ye Zan's words and thinking about what Ye Zan said about the future, and then said: "In addition, the Wuzhu faction has become The second-rate sect is already a certainty, and our sect has to be prepared to deal with it in some aspects."
Wu Changsheng's last sentence was the real reason for calling everyone here.
As the saying goes, "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers", although they are both righteous sects and have a relationship with the same origin, the promotion of Wuzhu sect to second-rate sects is definitely not a good thing for Yu Qingzong. Just like back then, when everyone was a third-rate sect, guarding such a land of five sects, there were only so many resources in all aspects. Although the five sects formed an alliance, they couldn't rob resources in a blatant manner on the surface, but they also used a lot of methods in private.
Saying that the Jinguang Sect and the Wuzhu Sect suppressed Yu Qingzong, even if there is no meaning of mysterious forces, these two factions will not be soft on what they should grab from Yu Qingzong. There is no way, there are only so many resources, if you can grab more, others will inevitably get less, and if you don't grab, then others will not be polite to you.
When Yuqingzong became a second-rate sect, there was no need to fight, and no one would dare to fight with Yuqingzong. As a small third-rate sect of the Wuzhu Sect, even if it wanted to compete with Yuqingzong, it should be Yuqingzong's.
But now, Peng Gong has been promoted to Yuanshen Da Neng, and Wuzhu Sect is about to become a second-rate sect. Although it can't compete with Yuqing Sect, it still has some capital to compete. More importantly, Wuzhu faction has reached this stage, there is no way not to fight. It is obviously a second-rate sect, but guarding a third-rate family business, no one would be willing to change it.
Of course, in the final analysis, the distance between the two cases is still too close.
For the surrounding second-rate sects such as Yuqing Sect and Ziyang Sect, they hardly involved too much competition for interests at first. However, with the further expansion of Yuqingzong's influence, the few sects headed by Ziyangzong could not help but come to the door.
It can be said that every second-rate sect, like a tiger in the mountains, has its own territory. When Yu Qingzong rose, he actually took advantage of it, because the original owner of this territory was a sick tiger. Qingyue Sword Sect, although retaining its status as a second-rate sect, did not have enough strength to keep its own territory, which gave Yu Qingzong a chance to replace it.
In fact, every sect will be very vigilant against those inferior sects in their territory. A second-rate sect will not allow a second second-rate sect to appear on its own territory. And the first-class sect will not allow a second first-class sect to appear on its own territory. What if there are signs? It's very simple, just two words "suppression" to nip the threat in the bud.
