Chapter 412: See you again in Xianyin, a pack of wolves comes
Luzhong County, Xianyin Pool.
It is the only inner lake surrounded by mountains among the swamps with a radius of 500 miles.
At this time, it was bustling with people.
This was the place where the seventy-two families gathered for alliance. The ancestor of the Yang family raised his arms and set off a wave of crusade against the Dai family. How majestic and majestic it was!
Nowadays, it is like a vegetable market, with constant quarrels and noise everywhere.
Everyone in the Yang family, all wearing silk clothes and white scarves on their heads, tried hard to maintain order in the place, but it seemed that their majesty had been lost, and it was of no avail.
When the ancestor of the Yang family was here, these people didn't dare to let out a single fart. As soon as the ancestor of the Yang family died, their true colors were immediately revealed.
In the midst of the noise, some nonsense was said, cliques were formed for personal gain, and collusion was public. Many people swam around, trying to fish in troubled waters.
Shuiyunxuan.
The pavilion in the center of the lake is the place where the Nascent Soul Stage Great Master once passed by and wrote an inscription.
The leaders of all major forces gathered here.
The ancestors of the four great families in Wangyue City kept sneering and whispering to each other in very impatient tones.
"The Yang family has enough personality. The entire clan has declined to the point where there are only two Golden Core monks left. They are still showing off like this. Who are they showing off to?"
"Hmph! We have been left here for so long, and no real person of our level is here to entertain us. It seems that we are used to being domineering. Do we really think of ourselves as evergreen trees?"
"The Yang family has long lost the strength of a giant family. It really should not continue to control the Lujiang League. And it is time to give up some of the huge territory and business under its name."
"That's right, they are hiding behind and enjoying the benefits, and they want us to continue to be their oxen and horses. This is a very good plan!"
The sect leaders of the four Lunan sects also spoke out one after another, obviously already dissatisfied with him.
"When we took down the Dai family, the Yang family alone took away 35% of it. We ate up the big fat man in one breath. Now that we no longer have the strength to cover it up, shouldn't we spit out some of it for us?"
"It is said that one of the two remaining old ghosts of the Yang family stayed with the family at all times for fear of any accidents, and the other went straight to Tianfu Mountain a few days ago, tut tut tut."
"Going to Tianfu Mountain? It seems that we are looking for the ancient leader. They really look down on us. If we are looking for them, we are looking for the immortal genius, and they are dismissive of us old bones!"
"So what if the Yang family and the Xun Gu Sect unite? Can they still reverse the situation? Their combined Jindan Masters are only half of ours. If we don't obediently give up most of the interests and power in the alliance, I..."
During their heated discussion, four startling rainbows flashed past in the distance and fell into the pavilion.
I just heard a young question coming,
"Oh? Master of the Lingyun Sect, right? What do you want if you don't give up most of the interests and power in the alliance?"
The eight people in the pavilion suddenly looked up and saw a young man in white strolling leisurely, followed by Master Yang, Elder Hei Ku, Master Zhankong, and Shi Shiran who sat down.
The leader of Lingyun Sect wanted to reply to the previous sentence forcefully.
But seeing Lin Shan turn from a young man into a teenager, with a faint smile on his lips and a sharp light in his eyes, the Yang family actually respected him very much, and the Xun Gu Sect suddenly came three times. A monk in the golden elixir period.
The most important thing is that he remembered that three years ago, as soon as Leader Lin came out of seclusion, he traveled thousands of miles to kill the protector of the Nine Nether Sect, and his heart suddenly froze!
I can't do this!
If you want to escape, the four major aristocratic families in Wangyue City must escape!
As soon as I get ahead, if the other party just comes here and criticizes me, who will help me?
The four sects in Lunan are scattered and do not trust each other. How can they dare to trust each other with their lives?
The leader of Lingyun Sect suddenly became mute and silent, and even gave in at the critical moment! This makes the Yang family feel extremely regretful.
Black Skull Demon Lord and Master Zhankong also had a flash of disappointment. They originally thought that they would be able to catch one of them as soon as they came, and first severely attack the arrogance of this bunch of wallflowers, but in the end, they just shrink back.
The ancestor of the four great families in Wangyue City glared at the leader of Lingyun Sect with hatred.
With your virtue, you still want to take advantage of the situation and get a piece of the pie? Is there any potential?
"Master Lin, I haven't seen you for three years. It's a joy to congratulate you for achieving a young man's golden elixir!"
"It is said that in the forbidden area of the cliff, Master Lin was free and easy, grabbing chestnuts from the fire, grabbing reed jade stalactites, and drinking it in one gulp to rejuvenate his youth. Now it seems to be true."
"Leader Yang died unexpectedly, and we are also very sad. We founded the Lujiang League with our own hands, how can we bear to see it decline until now!"
"We propose that the Yang family should appropriately allocate part of their spiritual land and industry to help each family thrive. Only when all members of the alliance are wealthy can the Lujiang Alliance truly grow!"
These four old guys are obviously much smoother than the master of Lingyun Sect. What they say is neither soft nor hard, and they sound reasonable.
Your Yang family has taken all the benefits, but failed to maintain the strength. Shouldn't you let it go and let everyone develop?
Only when the whole alliance becomes stronger can the Lujiang League regain its former momentum.
Now is no longer the time when the ancestor of the Yang family was here, one person was full and the whole family was no longer hungry.
"Master Lin, since Master Zhankong has also become the real person of the Golden Elixir, and the Xun Gu Sect now has three golden elixirs, then the Xun Gu Sect should account for the majority of the Yang family's property this time!"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Zhenren's expression immediately changed!
These four old guys are indeed insidious!
Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha's blessings is just a joke, but with just one mouthful, the Xun Gu Sect is about to be pried away. Then won't the Yang family become a lonely family and the target of public criticism?
The Black Skeleton Demon Lord and Master Zhankong were very moved after hearing this.
Yes!
Logically speaking, if the Yang family is really to be benefited, shouldn't we take the lion's share?
Why do you want to help the Yang family?
Lin Shan's face was calm and he was not bewitched by these four old guys.
From his perspective, not only the Xungu Sect, but the entire Lujiang League is in his palm!
The four major aristocratic families in Wangyue City and the four sects in Lunan are trying to take advantage of the situation and make a huge profit. Whether the Lujiang Alliance can stand up or not depends entirely on the subsequent development.
They are not short-sighted, but they do not have the strength to turn the tide!
In the case of insufficient strength, it is natural to protect oneself wisely and at the same time, first find ways to gain some petty profits for oneself, and how to take care of the front and back.
But Linshan is different!
His purpose is to include the entire Lujiang League and make them his tools and back garden to protect the Xun Gu Sect.
If he has this strength, he will naturally take a longer-term view.
The Yang family no longer has the status of a giant in cultivation, so they cannot guarantee so many properties. But if they want to give up the profits, they have to give them up afterwards, not now!
If we give in now, the whole alliance will be in chaos!
Everyone is only interested in carving up their own families. If external forces take advantage of the situation, who will unite to resist?
Strength determines vision, and vision determines height.
Things have priorities, and it is impossible to just focus on the present and ignore the future.
Moreover, the Yang family is now a die-hard ally that supports him, while the four major families in Wangyue City and the four sects in Lunan are nothing more than mere wallflowers.
How could there be any reason to rush to help the weaklings and dismember their allies?
"There may be some truth to what the four fellow Taoists said, but the top priority now is to resolve the external crisis in the Lujiang League first, and the Yang family's affairs can be discussed later."
Yang Zhenren breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, knowing that it was Lin Shan who was turning his elbow towards him.
If the Xun Gu Sect also joins the camp to carve up the Yang family. Then the Yang family is really the enemy of everyone.
Fortunately, Leader Lin knows the general picture.
The ancestors of the four major families in Wangyue City shook their heads repeatedly.
"Master Lin's words are wrong. Don't you hear the ancient saying that when fighting outside, one must first calm down inside?"
"Yes, you must prepare military pay and food before going to war, so that the soldiers will use their lives and the front line will be stable." "Now everyone in the alliance has been suffering from the Yang family for a long time. We should divide its industry first and get enough benefits. Only then can everyone work together for the alliance!”
"Why should we work so hard to protect the property of the Yang family? The Lujiang Alliance is not the protective umbrella of the Yang family. It is the joint efforts of all of us!"
After listening to this, Master Jindan of the Four Sects of Lunan gradually became more courageous and a little ready to take action.
Lin Shan was unmoved. This bunch of wallflowers were not looking for rabbits, but they were just being used by him. If they really got their wish now, they might run away the next day!
"Everyone, when the nest is overturned, there are no eggs left intact. Our development and progress over the years are only possible because of the support of the big force of the Lujiang Alliance, so that we can move forward steadily. If this big tree falls, not only the Yang family will be destroyed. Liquidation, I’m afraid you won’t be much better off.”
Everyone knows this truth. In recent years, not only the Yang family and the Xun Gu Sect have developed well, but other families have also developed well, but they are not progressing as fast as these two families, so they are jealous.
If the Lujiang League falls and they lose this umbrella, they will definitely not have such good development space.
But unexpectedly, all the ancestors of these eight families had wandering eyes. He looked around and didn't seem to care much about this.
Lin Shan and Yang Zhenren immediately understood that these old guys had probably prepared a retreat, and might have had contact with other external forces, so they had nothing to fear.
Of course, if the Lujiang League can survive, it is best not to collapse. In that case, they will still be the elders and have great autonomy and voice.
If you surrender to the enemy, your life will definitely not be as moist as it is now.
However, their strength limits their choices. They can only find ways to make a fortune in the alliance first, take every step, take advantage of both sides, and survive in the chaos.
While they were discussing in the pavilion.
The sound of footsteps came from the corridor in the lake.
"Reporting to the leader, there seems to be a riot outside. Some people disagreed and started fighting against the rules."
Lin Shan turned around and Gao Daoda came to report.
At the same time, eight other ancestors of the Yang family also received such news.
The real people looked out of the pavilion and saw several commotions taking place by the lake. Dots of spiritual lights were flying around. Sure enough, there was chaos in the fight.
There are good and bad among the seventy-two forces. Some hope that the Lujiang Alliance will not collapse, some have secretly communicated with each other, and some have hatred towards each other.
We used to pinch our noses and live under the same roof, but now we see that the situation is not optimistic, and they start fighting among themselves regardless of the overall situation.
"We are facing a formidable enemy. This group of people just don't want to make progress. They dare to disturb the morale of the army. I ordered them to go down and suppress them all!"
Lin Shan did his job and gave the order, and left with Gao Dada.
Yang Zhenren was not dissatisfied with Lin Shan Yuezu's acting as his agent, and he also ordered his clan members to help find the ancient sect to suppress it.
The four great ancestors of Wangyue City frowned.
"Master Lin, now that the leader of the alliance has died and the alliance is leaderless, shouldn't all matters be decided jointly by all of us elders?"
"Isn't it too hasty for you to make a decision by yourself, bypassing all of us!"
"That's right, according to the regulations at the time of the alliance, the Xun Gu Sect only has one elder position, Elder Heiku, and the other eight of us have not spoken yet!"
"Those people outside are all members of the alliance after all. Some frictions and disputes are conflicts between themselves. There is no need to suppress them at every turn, right?"
Yang Zhenren excused Lin Shan.
"You all don't know, but before my ancestor died in the Cliff Forbidden Land, he designated the next successor to the alliance leader, leader Lin."
Not to be outdone, the four golden elixir masters of the four sects in Lunan spoke one after another.
"But now he is not the leader of the alliance, so his control is a bit too lenient!"
"Yes, your hands are so long. You have just broken through the golden elixir stage a few years ago, and your qualifications are still relatively young. How can you assume the position of leader?"
"If you just go your own way now and be arrogant and domineering, if the Lujiang Alliance is in your hands in the future, won't you just cover the sky with your hands?"
"Young and energetic is a good thing, but you can't be too sharp!"
Lin Shan suddenly turned his head and looked at the leader of Lingyun Sect. The momentum around him surged, his eyes burst with light, and his magic power was as wild as a dragon!
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"Uh"
The leader of Lingyun Sect was stunned.
Everyone is talking about you, and it’s not just me. Why is it only targeting me?
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Several other people were shocked. Could it be that Leader Lin was planning to catch someone who was killing a chicken to scare the monkey?
The leader of Lingyun Sect broke into a cold sweat and moved his body unconsciously to the side. He was too frightened to speak any more.
After a while, the commotion outside ended.
Go big and report back.
"Reporting to the leader, all those involved in the fight have been suppressed by the leader of the church!"
"Well, go down and help the Yang family maintain order. If there are any troublemakers, kill them on the spot!"
"Yes!"
The four great ancestors of Wangyue City saw that this could no longer be the case.
If this kid is allowed to establish his prestige, will the Lujiang League really let him take over?
When the ancestor of the Yang family was here, one person made all of them breathless, and now there is a kid riding on their heads to shit, which is unbearable!
"Master Lin, it's not that we don't recognize your potential, it's just that you are still young now. In order to avoid premature death, it is better to concentrate on cultivation, as for the leader."
Lin Shan sneered.
"Why, apart from me, who of you has the guts to succeed as the leader of the alliance? Tell me about it?"
Everyone's tone was stagnant, and they were all mute.
The Lujiang League is now a crumbling ship. Whoever succeeds as leader will be responsible for this mess. When external forces come to liquidate the situation, they will not be able to let others go without letting the leader go.
So except for Lin Shan, no one really dares to inherit this hot potato.
"Hmph, you have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage. Even if I give you a chance, you will be useless!"
Lin Shan stood up suddenly.
"From now on, if you don't want to take over as the leader of the alliance, then I will be disrespectful!"
Everyone wanted to object, but suddenly someone from outside came to report.
In addition to the Lujiang Alliance, Jindan Zhenren and his disciples from more than a dozen other forces in the Lujiang River Basin have come together, and they are only ten miles away from Xianyin Pool!
The foreign enemy has arrived and is close at hand!
These old fritters immediately changed their words and smiled one after another.
"The position of alliance leader is of great importance. To be ordered to live or die, to be ordered to be in danger, naturally it is none other than Leader Lin!"
