The former alliance of five sects has long since ceased to exist in name only as the Golden Light Sect was annexed and the Yuqing Sect became second-rate.
Among the remaining three sects, the Qingyue Sword Sect, which has always been the leader of the five sects, was originally aloof in the alliance. After all, it also had the status of a second-rate sect. The Guangfa Sect is a Buddhist sect and is united with the Taoist sect, but they have never had close contact with each other.
Especially with the rise of Yuqing Sect, those small and unpopular sects are also trying their best to curry favor with Yuqing Sect. Even some small sects that were once attached to the Wuzhu Sect, because they knew the past situation of the Wuzhu Sect and the Yuqing Sect, they all switched to the arms of the Yuqing Sect.
Therefore, the Wuzhu Sect has been living alone in these past few years.
The Wuzhu Sect, after all, is a third-rate sect, but without any changes happening to it, it has fallen to the point where it is about to be gradually forgotten by people. Although there are reasons why Yu Qingzong has been so shining in recent years, it has to be said that this is the reality, no matter which world it is in.
However, the Wuzhu Sect finally turned around, and the news that Peng Gong was promoted to the realm of Yuanshen spread to thousands of sects along with the invitations.
Yuqingzong naturally also received the invitation. Peng Gong thought that he was angry at Yuqingzong and would not send it to anyone else.
Isn’t your Yu Qingzong awesome? Don’t you look down on me, the Wuzhu Sect? I am now a powerful Yuan Shen, and the Wuzhu Sect will soon become a second-rate sect. What is so awesome about your Yuqing Sect! In Peng Gong's view, although Yu Qingzong is awesome now, a large part of his strength is empty.
Speaking of Yuan Shen Mighty People, although there are five Yuan Shen Mighty People in Yuqing Sect, you must know that four of them are just Keqing elders. In fact, Yu Qingzong's own soul power is only Mo Ru. If you look at it this way, the Yuqing Sect has a powerful Yuan Shen, and the Wuzhu Sect now also has a powerful Yuan Shen. The gap between the Wuzhu Sect and the Yuqing Sect is not that big.
However, Peng Gong was not stupid enough to openly confront the Yuqing Sect. After all, there was still a gap between the two sects. What's more, you said that the four Keqing elders are not from the Yuqing Sect, but they still do things for the Yuqing Sect. How can the Wuzhu Sect compare with the Yuqing Sect.
Therefore, even though they were very resentful towards the Yuqing Sect and found a huge backer, the Wuzhu Sect still did not dare to openly confront the Yuqing Sect. Of course, thinking of the expressions of everyone in the Yuqing Sect after receiving the invitation and learning the news, Peng Gong felt that he should be able to recover some interest.
Indeed, at this time, the Yuqing Sect, because of the news about the Wuzhu Sect, Wu Changsheng, the headmaster, summoned all the elders to the Yuqing Hall of Yuquan Peak.
"I really didn't expect that someone named Peng would one day step into the realm of Yuanshen." Mo Rushi, who knew the news, shook his head in disbelief.
In terms of seniority, Mo Ru is the same generation as Peng Gong. The two of them had a lot of contact in the past, so they also know Peng Gong quite well.
It is said that when Peng Gong rushed to the Yuanying realm, he used some tiger and wolf medicine because of his qualifications, which almost eliminated the possibility of entering the Yuanshen realm. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Shenhua Realm, and there are definitely not a few people who make this choice. After all, if you don't use those powerful medicines, you have little hope of even being promoted to the realm of Yuanying, let alone the realm of Yuanshen.
"Could it be that he came to borrow food and ran into trouble before, but when he returned, he turned his grief and anger into strength and understood some secrets of heaven and earth?" Jin Dasheng said with an obvious hint of ridicule. Although Jin Dasheng was not present when Peng Gong came to borrow the spiritual rice, this matter was not a secret in Yuqing Sect.
"Okay, Junior Brother Jin, it's better not to say that." Wu Changsheng stopped Jin Dasheng's ridicule and said to everyone: "After all, the Wuzhu Sect and our Yuqing Sect come from the same source. Now that Master Peng can advance to the realm of Yuanshen, our sect I should send someone to congratulate me, so as not to be said that I, the Yuqing Sect, am a petty person and don’t want to see others well.”
"Headmaster cares about this friendship, but they may not take it to heart. They will only think of us when the autumn wind blows." Luo Jinniang said coldly.
In fact, since the Yuqing Sect became a second-rate sect, the Wuzhu Sect has come to fight against the autumn wind. Although the borrowing of spiritual rice was rejected before, the Wuzhu Sect also benefited a lot from the Yuqing Sect. For example, the Yuqing Sect gave the Wuzhu Sect a lot of preferential treatment for the helmet that entered the Virtual God Realm. For example, there are only a few members of Qianli Chuanyin and Wuzhu Sect. How can they refine it by their own abilities, instead of relying on the support of Yuqing Sect
There are also elixirs. The Yuqing Sect has always provided some elixirs to the Wuzhu Sect at very favorable prices. Although it seemed like a normal transaction, at the same price, it would be impossible for the Wuzhu Sect to buy those elixirs from elsewhere. But if the Yuqing Sect wants to buy something from the Wuzhu Sect, such as Yuzhu, or some herbs, the Wuzhu Sect is eager to double the price.
However, the Yuqing Sect has a great cause and is too lazy to waste energy arguing with the Wuzhu Sect for small profits.
Wu Changsheng smiled helplessly, turned his eyes to Ye Zan, and asked: "Uncle Ye, I don't know about the spiritual rice..."
As soon as he heard Wu Changsheng's words, Ye Zan knew that Wu Changsheng was planning to use the spiritual rice as a gift! But it is true that this spiritual rice is still quite popular in the Shenhua Realm. It is definitely a face-saving gift to use it as a gift. Of course, in a few years, this spiritual rice will no longer be rare, and using the spiritual rice as a gift may cause jokes.
However, Ye Zan didn't care about face, and naturally he would not agree to let Wu Changsheng use the spiritual rice to save face, so he immediately interrupted and said with a smile: "Forgive me, Headmaster, let alone there is no extra spiritual rice, even if there is , I also have other uses, and it is impossible for you to use it as a gift to the Wuzhu Sect. "
In fact, Wu Changsheng's idea cannot be said to be wrong. After all, it is a certainty that the Wuzhu Sect will become a second-rate sect. The two sects are both second-rate sects, and the mountain sects are so close to each other. As the head sect, he naturally has to consider how to maintain a good relationship between the two sects.
In fact, if Mr. Peng had been promoted to the realm of Yuanshen by his own ability, Ye Zan would not be so stingy. It would not be absolutely impossible to squeeze out some spiritual rice as a congratulatory gift. However, Ye Zanke knew how Peng Gong was promoted to the realm of Yuanshen. It could 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 put in the effort to maintain the impossible friendly relationship.
"Headmaster, I came to borrow spiritual rice before but didn't get it. Now that I have just reached the realm of Yuanshen, it would be inappropriate for us to use spiritual rice as a gift to give to others." Jin Dasheng also opposed Wu Changsheng's idea. , but it is also considered from the aspect of face.
"Headmaster, you should think so. It seems quite respectable for us to use spiritual rice as a gift now. But after a few years, spiritual rice is no longer so rare. When people mention this matter again, they say that the Jade Qing Sect Just use this thing as a gift? Our Yuqing Sect has lost all face," Ye Zan said to Wu Changsheng with a smile.
"This... Okay, then I'll make other arrangements." After hearing what Ye Zan said, Wu Changsheng couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly as he thought about the future scenario Ye Zan described. He then said, "In addition, it is a foregone conclusion that the Wuzhu Sect will become a second-rate sect. Our sect must also be prepared to deal with this in some aspects."
Wu Changsheng's last words were the real reason for calling everyone here.
As the saying goes, "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain." Although they are both orthodox sects and share the same origin, the promotion of the Wuzhu Sect to a second-rate sect is definitely not a good thing for the Yuqing Sect. Just like back then, when everyone was a third-rate sect, guarding such a place of five sects only had so many resources in all aspects. Although the five sects formed an alliance and could not snatch resources openly without any pretense, they also used a lot of private methods.
It is said that the Jinguang Sect and the Wuzhu Sect are suppressing the Yuqing Sect. In fact, even if there is no intention of mysterious forces, these two sects will not be lenient in grabbing things from the Yuqing Sect. 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 it, others will not be polite to you.
When the Yuqing Sect became a second-rate sect, there was no need to fight, and no one dared to fight against the Yuqing Sect. The Wuzhu Sect is a small third-rate sect. Even if it wants to compete with the Yuqing Sect, it cannot compete with the Yuqing Sect.
But now, Peng Gong has been promoted to the Great Power of Yuanshen, and Wuzhu Sect is about to become a second-rate sect. Although it cannot compete with Yuqing Sect, it still has some capital to compete. More importantly, the Wuzhu Sect has reached this point and has no choice but to fight. It is obviously a second-rate sect, but it is guarding a third-rate family fortune. No one would be willing to do it instead.
Of course, in the final analysis, the distance between the two sects is still too close.
The surrounding second-rate sects, such as Yuqing Sect and Ziyang Sect, did not involve much competition for interests at first. However, as the influence of Yuqing Sect further expanded, several sects headed by Ziyang Sect couldn't help but come to visit.
It can be said that every second-rate sect, like a tiger in the mountains, has its own territory. When the Yuqing Sect rose, it actually took advantage of it, because the original owner of this territory was a sick tiger. Although the Qingyue Sword Sect retained its status as a second-rate sect, it did not have enough strength to maintain its territory, which gave the Yuqing Sect the opportunity to take its place.
In fact, every sect will remain very vigilant towards the lower-level sects in its territory. A second-rate sect will not allow a second second-rate sect to appear on its territory. And a first-class sect will not allow a second first-class sect to appear on its territory. What if there are signs? It's very simple, just two words "suppression" to nip the threat in the bud.
