A handsome middle-aged man walked in outside the door.
He looked at Lu Li and said with a smile, "You just want to see me?"
"I'm Lu Li, what do you call the sect master?" Lu Li cupped his hand.
"Liang Xiao."
After telling his name, he looked at Song Xiaoshan and Feng Ling, "What are you two doing here? Are you not convinced after losing?"
"Senior sister is not convinced, I didn't do anything at all." Song Xiaoshan quickly took it out.
Feng Ling glared at him and then said: "Sect Master, this guy's origin is unknown. He wants to see you after winning the ring. He must not have any good intentions!"
"Okay, I still don't understand your girl's temper? Get out." Liang Xiao could tell that Lu Li wanted to talk about something, so he waved the two of them away.
Song Xiaoshan wanted to run away quickly and left without saying a word.
Feng Ling was still a little dissatisfied and looked at Lu Li and said, "When you finish talking, we will compete again."
After she left, Liang Xiao motioned for Lu Li to sit down and chat.
"My little friend has gone through so much trouble. You don't just want to see me, right?" Liang Xiao's tone was very gentle, without any airs of the leader of a sect.
However, the questioning hidden under the gentleness means that his character is not as easy-going as he appears.
After all, he is the leader of Tingfeng Sect. He may have a good temper, but he cannot be a 'soft persimmon'.
"Originally, I was waiting for someone to take me to see Sect Master Liang, but I really didn't expect Sect Master Liang to actually come in person."
"I feel ashamed to say it. It was my first visit and I was so soft-spoken. I could only use this method to lure Sect Master Liang to show up. I also hope that Sect Master Liang won't mind that I messed up Tingfeng Sect's martial arts competition."
"It doesn't matter."
Liang Xiao waved his hand, "Martial arts competitions are meant to compete for victory, and strength comes first. My little friend, being able to defeat my disciples proves that this is your ability."
"It's just a fluke." Lu Li skipped the topic, looked at Liang Xiao, thought for a while and asked, "Sect Master Liang...do you still remember He Shouwei?"
Liang Xiao's originally gentle expression suddenly changed, and he took a deep look at Lu Li: "Do you recognize anyone from the He family?"
The feud between Tingfeng Sect and the He family is not a secret in Linzhou.
Otherwise, Lu Li would not have found out the news so easily.
It can be said that He Shouwei is the name that the Tingfeng Sect least wants to hear. This head of the He family, who was once a true disciple of the Tingfeng Sect, has caused almost immeasurable losses to the Tingfeng Sect. The two parties have been entangled for decades. , until the two brothers of the He family became Grandmasters, they reached some kind of consensus in private and stopped fighting for the time being.
However, for the He family, Liang Xiao was the culprit who directly killed the head of the old family, and the hatred for killing his father was irreconcilable. For Liang Xiao and Tingfeng Sect, the He family is also an enemy that must be destroyed.
To put it simply, the hatred between the two sides cannot be reconciled, but because they cannot destroy each other, they simply ignore each other.
"Of course I recognize it."
Lu Li smiled and said, "I haven't met He Showei yet, but He Shouzhong and I have already had a close relationship."
"In this case, my little friend still dares to come to Tingfeng Sect. Is this a provocation?" There was no trace of smile on Liang Xiao's face.
"If it's a provocation, do I need to go through all the trouble to find Sect Master Liang?"
"Even if you want to die, there must be an easy way."
Lu Li said calmly: "Sect Master Liang is busy with affairs, so I'll get straight to the point. I know that there are irreconcilable conflicts between Tingfeng Sect and the He family. Just so I heard some rumors, which may be able to help Tingfeng Sect destroy the He family. A little help."
"My little friend, do you know what you are talking about?"
Liang Xiao said with a straight face: "The He family is a wealthy family in Linzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are the uncrowned kings of Linzhou. If you open your mouth and want to destroy the He family, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
Lu Li narrowed his eyes: "Zong Master Liang, there is no need to test me. To be honest, my time is very tight, because in addition to Tingfeng Sect, I also have to find many enemies of the He family."
"Tingfeng Sect is not my only choice, but for Sect Leader Liang, it seems that if he wants to destroy the He family, he has to cooperate with me."
"What do you want?" Liang Xiao was silent for a while and asked in a low voice.
"Do not need anything."
Lu Li said: "As long as Sect Leader Liang is willing to show some sincerity, I guarantee that from now on, the He family will cease to exist. In Linzhou, the Tingfeng Sect... is the only one."
"If you don't want anything, there is no need to find Tingfeng Sect. As long as you have a way to destroy the He family, and based on the He family's background, there is a chance that the master is willing to take action."
Liang Xiao is obviously not that easy to fool.
After saying this, he showed a smile: "I'm afraid what I want to deal with is not the He family, but the forces behind the He family. Am I right?"
"Zongzhu Liang also knows that the He family has found a backer?"
"The actions of the Divine Sect in Linzhou cannot be hidden from Tingfeng Sect. The He family has become the lackeys of the Divine Sect, and I have already received the news."
"Linzhou is such a big place. Do you think Tingfeng Sect will know nothing about the divine religion?"
Liang Xiao took time to talk.
Lu Li narrowed his eyes: "Did Tingfeng Sect also join the divine sect?"
"If Tingfeng Zong joins the divine sect, will I still sit here and talk calmly with my little friend?" Liang Xiao said lightly: "My little friend, we will not speak secretly, no matter you want to deal with the He family or the gods. Teach me, you can do nothing good with just your mouth, so why should Tingfeng Sect wade into this muddy water?"
"If the He family is destroyed, Tingfeng Sect's power in Linzhou will be able to expand rapidly. It can not only take revenge, but also completely control Linzhou. Isn't this a benefit?"
Lu Li said: "What other benefits does Sect Master Liang want? Otherwise, I will grant you the tenth king?"
"Young friend, you are joking." Liang Xiao said: "Moreover, even if I agree to your request, Tingfeng Sect is still powerless. Now that the Holy Kingdom is at war with the Demon Kingdom, many elders in the sect have taken their disciples to the border to participate in the war. Now There are not many strong people in the Shitingfeng Sect, and if I, the sect leader, were not needed, I should be on my way to the border at this moment."
"Seeing that Sect Master Liang is also a loyal and patriotic person, he knows how to drink water and think about the source, and repay the kindness of the Holy Kingdom. Then Sect Master Liang should know that at present, foreign enemies are present, and cancers like theistic religions have appeared in the Holy Kingdom. If they are allowed to develop, it will be harmful to the Holy Kingdom. The damage caused by the country is even greater than the iron cavalry of the Demon Kingdom breaking through the border."
"If Sect Master Liang has had contact with the divine religion, I believe he will be able to tell which one is more important."
Having said this, Lu Li stood up, took out a jade slip and put it next to him, and said calmly: "Next, I will find a few enemies of the He family. If Sect Master Liang's mind changes during this period, You can come to me anytime."
"Farewell."
"I won't send it off." Liang Xiao had no intention of getting up.
Lu Li wasn't just pretending.
After putting down that jade slip, he really left Tingfeng Sect.
Liang Xiao looked at the jade slip, his expression gradually changed, he seemed to be thinking, more like hesitating.
Don't look at it, Tingting Feng Sect seems to be loyal to the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven. He is leading the way in this national war, collecting military expenditures and recruiting people, as if he can sacrifice for the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Sky at any time.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tingfeng Sect is just betting that the Holy Kingdom can withstand the attack of the Jitian Demon Kingdom.
With the Heaven Swallowing Holy Kingdom at the front, no matter how fierce the fighting on the frontline battlefield is, it will not be the turn of forces like Tingfeng Sect to be the main force.
At this moment, Tingfeng Zong's behavior seemed like repaying his kindness, but in fact it was just the icing on the cake, a gesture to the royal family of the Holy Kingdom.
After all, it is still profitable.
However, the emergence of the divine sect did put Tingfeng Sect in a somewhat embarrassing situation.
If it is ignored, no one knows what changes the current situation of the Holy Kingdom of Swallowing Heaven will have if the divine religion continues to develop. But if you interfere in the expansion of the divine sect and offend this seemingly low-key, but actually profound cult, Tingfeng Sect is no match for it with its current strength.
After hesitating for a while, Liang Xiao finally put the jade slip away.
Just as Lu Li expected, the Divine Sect did send people to contact the Tingfeng Sect.
Liang Xiao had already seen the 'divine power', and also saw what joining the divine religion meant to a master.
That kind of power that can directly enhance the realm of a master, few people can resist its temptation.
But Liang Xiao happens to be one of the very few people.
He saw the ambition in the expansion of the divine religion, and also smelled the fatal crisis in the miraculous divine power.
Therefore, he had long rejected the solicitation of the divine religion.
As for why the Divine Religion still tolerates Tingfeng Sect, it is just because Tingfeng Sect is located on the border of Linzhou and has friends from all over the world. It can be regarded as the most prosperous business place in Linzhou.
In other words, Tingfeng Sect is very rich, and the expansion of the divine religion also requires a lot of resources. Zongli Tingfeng Zong didn't take action, he just didn't want to kill the goose to get the eggs.
