Chapter 257: Choosing a Leader
Nie Fan pondered silently and handed the invitation to Zhou Mei.
Zhou Mei took it, opened it and saw that her pretty face changed slightly, and then handed it to the other two. After seeing it, they were silent.
The invitation was sent from the headquarters of the National Security Bureau, saying that the National Security Bureau had a special training recently and wanted to ask Nie Fan for guidance.
Of course, this is just an excuse that everyone knows, but the specific purpose invitation is not disclosed and no mention is given.
In today's situation, as the largest force outside the ancient martial arts world, anyone who receives the sudden invitation will be vigilant when they receive the first thought. Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out, but the chances of killing the banned circle are the greatest!
Even if it is not the biggest, even if there is a trace of danger, you cannot get involved. Once you really go there, it is very likely to evaporate this. The danger level of the National Security Bureau headquarters is definitely no less than half a mountain.
Nie Fan pondered silently. Naturally, he was not worried about the conspiracy of the National Security Bureau, but was seriously considering his relationship with the National Security Bureau. If it were before, he was alone, it didn't matter, but now he is the leader of the Xuejian Sect and needs to make serious plans for the sect.
Zhou Mei and others didn't speak, but their faces became normal. Looking at Nie Fan, they actually told him that they did not approve of Nie Fan's appointment, which was too risky.
Nie Fan also saw the thoughts of several people, and without illuminating them, he said, "Put it down beforehand, what else can I do?"
After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Mei hurriedly said, "By the way, the Sect Master, the Blood Sword Alliance has issued an invitation, I hope we will join."
Nie Fan turned to look at Yang Zhi. He had just left the customs and knew that many forces had emerged in the capital, but he had not heard any introduction to the Blood Sword Alliance just now.
I didn't introduce it just now, but I just kept what I said now. Yang Zhi looked at Nie Fan and said, "The master of the sect, there is the Shishan Gate in the west of the city and the Changshou Sect in the east of the city. They must be related to Xiaobanshan and the National Security Bureau. There is also a Chutian Association in the south of the city, which should be related to the Chu family. There is also an alliance in the north of our city called the Blood Sword Alliance, which was formed by the Zhang family and the large and small forces in the north of the city. They are winning over all the forces in the north of the city, and we are also invited."
"What is the background of the Blood Sword Alliance?" Nie Fan asked. The first three obviously have backers, but the Zhang family hasn't heard much about it.
"The Zhang family has no background," Yang Zhi naturally touched the bottom of the Zhang family before and said, "They have some ancient martial arts inheritances from their ancestors, but they have long been cut off. Now they are all pieced together from all over the country. Their power is not strong, and there is only one early-level ancestor in the palace level.
Nie Fan nodded. Obviously, this is also an ambitious person who wants to make a fortune in this chaos.
"Snow Sword Sect, Blood Sword Alliance..." Nie Fan's eyes flashed slightly, and these two names really looked like them.
Listening to Nie Fan's muttering softly, Zhou Mei's pretty face suddenly changed, her eyes suddenly shining, she turned to look at Nie Fan and said, "Sect Master, I must join in!"
Wei Tao and Yang Zhi were both stunned when they heard this. Didn’t they just say that the power outside was lurking? Why did they want to join this Blood Sword Alliance again?
"Well, I will go there." Nie Fan's eyes flashed with a strange light. If this Blood Sword Alliance was used as a cover, their Snow Sword Sect would no longer need to hide. They could use this shell to continue to develop without worrying about being noticed.
Zhou Mei couldn't suppress her excitement. Unexpectedly, she had been bothering about their problems, and Nie Fan was solved as soon as she came out of seclusion. A palace-level ancestor Zhang family naturally could not stop Nie Fan. This Blood Sword Alliance was a shield tailor-made for their Snow Sword Sect!
"Master of the Sect," Zhou Mei thought about it again and said, "Since we are going to take over the Blood Sword Alliance, we must consider the other three forces."
"Don't worry, I think the other three parties should have actions recently." Nie Fan said calmly.
It’s not that he is so good at these conspiracies, but that he has seen the ups and downs of too many forces in the cultivation world. These four forces are established in a hurry and expanding extremely quickly. They must be extremely wary of each other and will collude as soon as possible, and then seek a short period of peace to consolidate the enfeoffed territory.
Zhou Mei thought about it and nodded. The forces of all four sides had expanded to the extreme, and the division of forces was very clear. At this time, if any side started a war on their own, they would be either a fool or a madman.
Yang Zhi and Wei Tao were confused and could only watch Zhou Mei and Nie Fan talking mutely there.
In the underground maze, in the Chutianhui headquarters, a huge cave with carved beams and painted buildings.
In the empty cave, Chu Tianhao sat in the main seat, frowned slightly, looked thoughtful, and his eyes kept looking outside the door.
Behind him were two elders from north and south, with their faces of solemnity. Although it seemed that the capital was evenly divided by four forces, the real giant did not take action. This was just a preliminary test. Once it went well, the giant behind him would inevitably swallow it with blood.
The Shishan Gate in the west of the city is mysterious, but no one can see that it is absolutely inseparable from Xiaobanshan. Although the Changshou Sect in the east of the city is contrary to the National Security Bureau, no one believes that there is no shadow of the National Security Bureau.
The only clean thing is the Blood Sword Alliance opposite them, but the Blood Sword Alliance is too weak and there is no need for an alliance at all. Any of the three parties has the ability to destroy them in a short period of time.
In this way, the capital city is a three-legged tripod.
In fact, the strength of the other two sides is unpredictable. Even without the giant behind them, their Chu family, and even the Chu Tianhui are now, it is difficult to compete with their reading power.
"Have Nie Fan found it?" After pondering for a while, Chu Tianhao suddenly said. The cave was very empty, and his voice echoed in the cold and quiet.
Elder Bei shook his head and said, "Nie Fan has never been in the same place for a long time, so it is difficult to find him."
Elder Nan frowned slightly, sighed in his heart, and said, "If Nie Fan joins, we will at least have the capital to gain a foothold."
After all, Chu Tian will be based on their Chu family. The other forces are extremely weak. Only Chu Tianhao, a powerful man at the third level of the palace level, is far behind both sides. It is rumored that Nie Fan also has the strength comparable to the third level of the palace level. With him joining, Chu Tian will at least be much more calm.
"Head of the family," Elder Bei pondered when he saw Chu Tianhao not speaking, and said, "Can we test the attitudes of the other two families?"
Chu Tianhao was touching a piece of red jade in his hand, with two black and red butterflies on it, which were lifelike and seemed to be about to fly out of life.
"No need," Chu Tianhao's voice was calm, and his eyes were constantly flashing with various thoughts, saying: "From their methods of acting, we can see that Shishanmen is ambitious and introverted. Changshou Sect is arrogant and domineering and acts recklessly. They are not the parties to negotiate. Once they speak, they will show weakness, which will cause them to take the lead in attacking us."
The two old men from the north and the south were immediately silent when they heard this. Their Chu family is in a very dangerous situation, and no one can tell whether the other two forces will suddenly attack them at any time. With their strength, it is impossible to compete with Xiao Banshan and the National Security Bureau behind the two families.
"Head of the family, will Kunlun go north?" Elder Nan suddenly looked up at Chu Tianhao's back and asked with hesitation.
As soon as Elder Nan's voice came out, even Elder Bei raised his head and looked at Chu Tianhao. This issue was discussed in the entire capital, so why would he not care about it?
Chu Tianhao's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, his expression changed, and he still said uncertainly after a long time: "It's unpredictable. Normally, the Kunlun Sect will definitely go north, but after so many days, they have no reaction at all."
The two elders from the north and the south knew that Chu Tianhao did not want to attract foreign forces to participate, and did not ask questions, and frowned again. The current situation for their Chu family was like walking a tightrope on a cliff, and if you were not careful, you might be crushed to pieces.
"Continue looking for it." After a long time, Chu Tianhao said again.
"Yes!" The two old men nodded, and now they could only take one step at a time.
North of the city, Divine Sword Villa, and the main hall.
Zhang Hongyou, an old man from the Zhang family, was in the main position, and various forces from all over the north of the city gathered together, sitting below.
The scene was very lively, and it seemed that these people had never gathered like this, whispering and talking endlessly, and their voices resounded throughout the hall.
Zhang Hongyou was wearing Tai Chi suit, loose and even. His eyebrows were like swords, and he was powerful without anger. He looked at the group of people below with a calm expression.
A middle-aged man standing in front of him, seeing that the chaos below was a little distorted, immediately put his fist beside his mouth and coughed a few times.
But the group of people below seemed to have not heard it, the atmosphere was warm and laughter continued.
"Quiet."
A calm voice sounded like thunder in the sky above the hall. The entire hall suddenly calmed down, and everyone's voice suddenly paused, as if someone had suddenly stuck his neck.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at Zhang Hongyou's sword-like eyebrows. His heart was beaten in his heart, his expression changed slightly, and he sat up and looked up.
"Everyone," the middle-aged man beside Zhang Hongyou saw it, and his face stood on his face with an extremely bright smile, saying, "I'll call everyone here today, but it's actually something to discuss."
"The head of the Zhang family said it just by saying that we are a family now and there is nothing we can't talk about."
"Yes, everyone is on the same boat, so it should be together. If you have any questions, everyone will discuss it together."
"Let's tell me, what's wrong with us today?"
Zhang Yiren, the Zhang family advocate, looked at Zhang Hongyou, waved his hand, his face full of confident smiles, and said loudly: "To be honest, everyone knows the situation in the capital now, and no one can support it, so my Zhang family advocates the establishment of the Blood Sword Alliance. However, this kind of unity is also a mess, so there are three things to negotiate with you today."
Many people vaguely heard something from Zhang Yiren's words, but didn't speak, and looked at Zhang Yiren quietly.
Seeing that there was no excuse, Zhang Yiren did not stop and continued: "The first thing is to make an alliance with blood and make a covenant."
No one has any objection to this, and naturally no one speaks.
Zhang Yiren paused and said, "The second thing: select the elites of various schools, train them into a force, and fight against the invasion of other forces."
Although this was a bit uncomfortable, it was not too difficult to accept. Everyone did not speak out and looked at Zhang Yiren. They were all clear-headed. If it were just such a thing, there was no need to gather everyone together so seriously.
Seeing that no one was speaking below, Zhang Yiren was silent for a while, and suddenly said louder, "The third thing: choose the leader."
