Chapter 143 The Attitude of the Biyou Sect
"Uh! Brother, we've really struck it rich! How about we find a place to have some fun and treat ourselves? Look how tired my brother Zilong is from this journey... and me, Old Pig, too... this..."
After leaving Jiufeng Mountain, Zhu Ganglie kept babbling and jumping around, trying to persuade Kongming and Zhao Yun.
"Ganglie, I'm not tired. Besides, lust is a dangerous thing, so you have to be careful!" Zhao Yun said earnestly.
"Heh! If he could listen to reason, how could he have cultivated for dozens of lifetimes and still be like this!" Kongming teased.
"Ugh, all you do all day is cultivate, cultivate. If cultivation means becoming a monk, then I, Old Pig, would rather not cultivate this damned path!" Pigsy looked like he was about to go on strike, and his pig eyes glanced at Kongming.
But when he saw Kongming waving his feather fan, looking completely unfazed, he immediately lost his temper...
Nowadays, Kongming has a powerful "background" in the cultivation world, and his flying spirit beasts are heading north with impunity. As long as the cultivation forces do not dare to take action, how can a mere mortal pass be defended?
Soon, the three arrived within the territory of the An clan's three prefectures...
"Sect Master! Kongming is heading towards our Biyou Mountain Gate. Whether to kill him or spare him is a decision we must make!"
At this time, more than a dozen people had gathered in the main hall of Biyou Sect.
A disciple reported this to west Shuimiao, the sect leader of Biyou Sect.
"He did come after all!"
west Shuimiao slowly spoke, holding onto the chair.
"Sect Master, An Lushan sent a message earlier claiming that Kongming's background is false and ordering us to kill him at all costs. What do you think of this..."
A Golden Core elder spoke up.
This person's name is Park Hui, and he is an elder in charge of the mortal realm.
Because of his long-term dealings with An Lushan, he had great faith in An Lushan's strategies.
Upon hearing this, west Shuimiao did not express a clear opinion, but instead turned his gaze to the other elders.
A murmur rippled through the hall before someone finally spoke up: "Junior Brother Pu, what do you think of our sect compared to the three great sects of the Song Dynasty?"
"This...this...they were simply tricked by Kongming!"
Park Hui understood the elder's meaning, but An Lushan had repeatedly warned him and assured him that Kongming's background was false.
“They are such shrewd people, how could they be fooled by Kongming’s words? They have probably already confirmed Kongming’s identity, which is why they treat him with such courtesy!” the elder said to Park Hui.
"Sect Master! An Lushan asserts that this person's identity is fake. Once the three prefectures of the An clan are captured by Kongming, our Biyou Sect will surely be purged, and we will regret it then!"
Park Hui bowed slightly to Xi Shuimiao and began to speak.
"Hmph! These must be what An Lushan said, right? He's just a mortal, how could he possibly decide the life or death of my cultivation sect? In my opinion, he's just spreading alarmist rumors because he's afraid that Zhuge Liang will take down his An family!"
The elder was very disdainful of Park Hui's constant references to An Lushan.
"Senior Brother Qin, this is by no means an exaggeration. Once the An family is destroyed, do you think the Thunder God Sect and the Jade Cauldron Sect will tolerate my Biyou Sect?"
Seeing that this Elder Qin was constantly opposing him, Park Hui bowed slightly to him and said...
"Even if the An family is destroyed, with the strength of my sect, it will not be difficult to find a place to settle down. But if Kongming's identity is real, then my Biyou Sect will surely be doomed. Do you not know which is more important, Junior Brother Pu?"
The elder surnamed Qin asked sternly.
“Senior Brother Qin is right. When the Death Desert yielded a great treasure, Kongming dared to return, which shows that he was not afraid of these three major sects at all. Looking at the attitude of these sects towards him, there must be a reason for this!” another elder said.
This immediately drew the agreement of several elders.
Upon hearing this, Park Hui sighed. He had absolute faith in An Lushan's judgment, but unfortunately, he lacked the persuasiveness to back it up.
He knew this was a gamble; if Kongming had no powerful connections, he could have been killed without hesitation.
But if Kongming is indeed from an ancient family in the Sacred State, then the Biyou Sect has committed an enormous disaster.
Which is lighter and heavier, at a glance.
However, he was still unwilling to give up and said to Xi Shuimiao, "Sect Master, according to An Lushan's judgment, Kongming's true identity will be revealed within a month. This person came to my Biyou Sect simply to cut off the An family's escape route. I have an idea!"
"Oh! Junior Brother Park, tell me quickly!" west Shuimiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked.
"Regardless of what Kongming says, we might as well agree for now and delay for a month. If he really is a member of the Sima family, then it won't be too late for us to abolish the An family. This way, we can either retaliate or negotiate with them to ensure the interests of our sect!"
Park Hui recounted the words that An Lushan had taught him.
Upon hearing this, west Shuimiao also made up his mind.
The An family's three prefectures are the territory of the Biyou Sect, and the An family is also their representative in the mortal world.
Supporting a representative of the mortal world is not easy, let alone someone as capable as An Lushan.
Furthermore, Anjia is now deeply entrenched, controlling various industries.
Once Kongming takes control, the distribution of benefits in the cultivation world will inevitably be reshuffled, and the interests of sects will likely be affected.
He wouldn't give up on Anjia unless absolutely necessary.
west Shuimiao has recently been confused by Kongming. He can't kill him, but keeping him alive would put his family in danger.
After a moment, Xi Shuimiao spoke up: "Let's do as Junior Brother Pu says. But An Lushan, you also need to teach him a lesson. Let him know that without my Biyou Sect, he is nothing. If he dares to be disloyal, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
west Shuimiao stared at Pu Hui and said that An Lushan had dared to embezzle 500 million in tribute last time, and had not yet made up for it, which annoyed him.
If he knew that An Lushan used those 500 million gold coins to buy warhorses, and that it ultimately benefited Kongming, I wonder if he would have gone berserk on the spot.
Upon hearing this, Park Hui's face lit up with joy. The An family was temporarily safe, and now it was up to An Lushan to see if his words would come true.
Two days later, Kongming and his two companions finally arrived at the gate of Biyou Sect.
west Shuimiao also showed enough enthusiasm, and surrounded by a group of elders, Kongming was led into the reception hall.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuge has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles to my Biyou Sect. May I ask what brings you here?"
Inside the hall, west Shuimiao was the first to ask.
"Hehehe! I dare not presume to offer my guidance. I have long admired Fellow Daoist Xi's esteemed name, and I have come today specifically to pay my respects!"
Kongming waved his feather fan and smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuge is now renowned, and I am deeply honored that you have come to my Biyou Sect!" Seeing that Kongming did not explain his purpose, west Shuimiao simply did not press the matter.
"Don't be so honored, I, Old Pig, am still starving! Bring me some food!"
Zhu Ganglie looked unhappy. Every time he went out with Kongming, he was either hungry or beaten.
Now he understands that none of these sects dare to do anything to Kongming, so he's become bolder...
