There is both cooperation and competition among the hidden sects.

Due to the emergence of the Zhenguo Martial Saint Du Huaizhen, the Zhenwu Sect's strength increased greatly, overwhelming the Tianlong Sect and Wuji Sect, and establishing its status as the number one hidden sect.

However, the Tianlong Sect has never been truly convinced. They just think that the other party is very lucky.

Now that Du Huaizhen has abdicated and gone into seclusion, drawing a clear line with the Martial League and the Zhenwu Sect, the biggest beneficiary must be the Tianlong Sect.

Because the mountains pressing on their heads finally disappeared.

Although Tianlong Sect has no intention of challenging Zhenwu Sect in the short term, no one can say what will happen in the future.

Within the Tianlong Sect, some people have already shouted the slogan that the situation will change, come to my house next year.

Xue Zheng grew up in the Tianlong Sect and subconsciously regarded the Zhenwu Sect as his opponent. Even if he joins the Martial Alliance now, that view will be difficult to change for a while.

What's more, everyone has their own likes and dislikes in terms of closeness and distance.

Unless you are a sage, no one can truly treat everyone equally.

Tantai Mingyue thought for a long time and finally thought of a way.

"For the current plan, we can only solve it through the methods commonly used in the martial arts world."

"A common method used in the martial arts world?"

"I mean fighting in the ring."

Tantai Mingyue explained: "It is better to put the competition on the bright side than to bleed in private."

"Then the New Holy Land is the treasure of the Zhenwu Sect. There is no need to compare." Xue Zheng said disapprovingly.

"We can formulate reasonable rules to ensure that the competition is conducted fairly."

Tantai Mingyue has already made an accusation: "For example, there are restrictions on realm and age, and only dark warriors under the age of twenty are allowed to compete in the ring."

"In terms of top-level combat power, Zhenwu Sect is of course far stronger than the other four factions, but the middle-level combat power should not be much different."

Xue Zheng and Ji Tianya looked at each other and felt that what Tantai Mingyue said made sense.

"Will Zhenwu Sect agree?" Ji Tianya asked.

"If they don't agree, they will have no choice but to withdraw from the competition, so they will definitely agree."

Tantai Mingyue said confidently: "Leave it to me to convince Zhenwu Sect, and you are responsible for convincing other sects."

Ji Tianya turned his head and looked at Xue Zheng.

Xue Zheng understood what the other party meant and immediately expressed his position: "I'll go find the Baolin Sect and the Yin Yang Sect, and you talk to the Guanghan Sect and Liuhe Sect, how about it?"

"no problem."

Ji Tianya's eyes flashed with gratitude, and he whispered: "Thank you."

Ji Tianya's background cannot be compared with Xue Zheng's, so Xue Zheng took the initiative to choose the two most difficult targets and left the relatively easy targets to him.

"Let's get started."

The plan has been decided, and Tantai Mingyue doesn't want to waste a minute: "After convincing them, we will discuss the detailed charter and ask the leader for instructions!"

Baolinpai Headquarters.

In the solemn and quiet Patriarch Hall, head Qi Changlin sat cross-legged and was listening to the report from the representative surnamed Zhang.

"Zhenwumen is too arrogant!"

The representative surnamed Zhang said angrily: "Master, you haven't seen Xu Guo's face. You simply treat me like nothing."

Qi Changlin's old face was peaceful, his eyes were lowered, and his breathing was long, as if he didn't hear the complaints of his subordinates.

"They have been at the top of the martial arts world for nearly a hundred years, so they naturally have the qualifications to be arrogant."

A hoarse voice came out of Qi Changlin's mouth: "If it were you, you would probably be more arrogant than Xu Guo."

The representative named Zhang suddenly felt ashamed.

"Master, let's forget it like this? Why don't we give the Zhenwu Sect a show of strength? It's true that they are powerful dragons across the river, but our Baolin Sect is not bad either, right?"

While secretly observing Qi Changlin's expression, he encouraged: "The Zhenwu Sect's hand has stretched too far, and they actually want to get involved in our territory!"

"hehe."

Qi Changlin let out two low laughs of unknown meaning.

The representative surnamed Zhang didn't understand what the leader was laughing at, so he could only laugh along with him. However, his smile was stiff and rigid, as fake as possible.

"why are you laughing?"

Qi Changlin suddenly asked him in turn.

The representative surnamed Zhang was stunned for a moment, at a loss as to how to answer.

"I laugh at you for being stupid, are you also laughing at yourself for being stupid?"

Qi Changlin's eyes slowly opened, and a heavy pressure suddenly fell on Representative Zhang.

Representative Zhang broke into a cold sweat.

"Plop!"

He knelt down directly on his knees and bowed to Qi Changlin, his forehead pressed against the cold floor: "My subordinate's words are nonsense and insulting. Please forgive me."

Qi Changlin stood up from the futon, walked to Representative Zhang with bare feet, and said calmly: "Have you ever thought about why the Zhenwu Sect would reach out to the eastern provinces when they are staying well in the capital?

?Even willing to make enemies for it?"

Representative Zhang raised his head with a confused look on his face.

To be honest, he really hadn't thought about the question Qi Changlin raised.

Qi Changlin sighed and continued to give instructions patiently: "Your Excellency Du Huaizhen left the Yanhuang martial arts world. Who will be affected the most?"

The representative surnamed Zhang blurted out: "Of course it's the Martial Alliance and the Zhenwu Sect!"

"Does anyone dare to provoke the Wu Meng now?"

"No."

Although the representative surnamed Zhang is a little slow-witted, he is not really stupid: "Capturing the Dragon and Controlling the Crane is a lesson learned from the past, who dares to stroke the tiger's beard of Alliance Leader Lin?"

Qi Changlin asked reluctantly: "What about Zhenwu Sect? Without these two super strong men, Du Huaizhen and Xu Jing, can they still maintain their position as the number one hidden sect?"

Representative Zhang became more and more confused as he listened: "In that case, shouldn't they keep a low profile? Why have they become more arrogant?"

"Because they want to advance at the expense of retreat, demonstrate their strength, kill chickens to scare monkeys, and frighten the Tianlong Sect and Wuji Sect, just like they did when they destroyed the Jade Crane Sect."

Qi Changlin finally revealed the answer and said coldly: "The intention of the drunkard of Zhenwu Sect does not lie in the new Holy Land, but in us!"

The representative surnamed Zhang opened his mouth wide and was stunned. At the same time, a chill went straight through Tianling Gai.

He did not expect that Zhenwu Sect's seemingly overbearing and arrogant behavior would actually hide such sinister motives.

"Why?"

After a long time, representative Zhang hesitated and said: "We haven't offended them, have we?"

"The Jade Crane Sect has never offended the Zhenwu Sect."

Qi Changlin patted his subordinate on the shoulder: "Big fish don't need a reason to eat small fish, so don't be so naive."

The representative surnamed Zhang suppressed the turmoil in his heart and tried to make a final struggle: "The Zhenwu Sect's strength has been greatly damaged, so we don't need to be too afraid."

"Never underestimate the true martial arts heritage!"

Qi Changlin's eyes widened and he warned sternly: "On the surface, they do have only two great masters left, but no one can tell what trump cards are hidden in the dark!"

The representative surnamed Zhang was frightened, nodded his head, and finally asked cautiously: "Master, now that we know about Zhenwu Sect's conspiracy, what should we do?"

"Nothing to do."

"ah?"

"Zhenwu Sect has their troubles. We just need to guard our own one-third of an acre of land. Don't worry about other things, let alone conflict with Zhenwu Sect."
