The once solemn stone chamber of the Spiritual Mountain Sect was now as chaotic as a market. The disciples from each faction rolled up their sleeves, as if waiting for someone to take the lead.
Kong Yunzhen trembled when he saw this scene. It was as if he had returned to the bloody and cruel era of civil war. There were a total of four civil wars in the Spiritual Mountain Sect. Among them, the civil war between the three courts was the most tragic because of Shiwu Mountain. At that time, Kong Yunzhen was still a cultivator of the younger generation.
At that time, he did not even have the right to go into battle. He could only watch as his Senior Brothers, Junior Uncles and Senior Uncles stepped into the bloody battlefield and died one by one.
At that time, the three courts had killed each other to the point where their eyes were red with hatred. If it wasn't for the Sect Leader who used his prestige to suppress the feud between the three courts, and then mobilized a large number of Uncle-Masters to follow the Emperor on the expedition, the three courts would have been slaughtered to the point where no one could be seen. The Spiritual Mountain Sect would have definitely fallen out of the top ten cultivation sects in the world.
"Is the river of blood going to happen again?" Kong Yunzhen muttered to himself. Suddenly, he yelled, "Shut up!"
Kong Yunzhen's shout was infused with True Yuan and anger, forcefully suppressing the curses of the one to two thousand people in the arena.
The crowd fell silent and turned to look at Kong Yunzhen.
Kong Yunzhen said angrily, "Do you still think this is the Spiritual Mountain Sect?
Are you still disciples of the Spiritual Mountain Sect?
Do you still respect me as your Senior Uncle? "
Kong Yunzhen was a straightforward person. Although he was from Hidden Brocade Court, because of his family's decline, many people in Hidden Modesty Court had a good impression of him. At this time, Hidden Brocade and Hidden Modesty Court stopped fighting, Hidden Beauty Court naturally did not take the initiative to stand up for them. The three heavenly courts stopped fighting, but they still glared at each other.
Kong Yunzhen looked at Grand Senior Sister and said disappointedly, "Junior Niece Le, you have disappointed me today!"
Grand Senior Sister lowered her head, her eyelids drooping, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. No one could see her gaze or expression, and no one noticed the fleeting smile on her lips.
Kong Yunzhen turned his head to look at Shanxue and said angrily, "Shanxue, you too!
You're not only the Grand Senior Brother of Hidden Brocade Court, you're also the Senior Brother of all the disciples of the Spiritual Mountain Sect. How can you only care about Hidden Brocade Court and ignore the Spiritual Mountain Sect?! "
Shanxue grunted. He was filled with anger and wanted to refute, but when he saw Kong Yunzhen's sharp eyes, he swallowed his words and did not say anything.
Kong Yunzhen then looked at Hidden Modesty Court's Li Xuanming and said, "Li Xuanming, you too. You're usually so low-key, why are you suddenly getting involved in this mess today?"
Li Xuanming lowered his eyes slightly, bowed and said, "Martial Uncle Kong, please forgive me. I carry the future of more than a thousand Hidden Modesty Court disciples. Sometimes, I have no choice but to fight."
"Fight, fight, fight!" Kong Yunzhen looked at them resentfully. "Yes, cultivation is all about fighting for that breath!"
"But sometimes, what's the point of fighting to the death?"
Kong Yunzhen sighed. "More than a hundred years ago, the three courts fought endlessly because of Shiwu Mountain, and there were countless casualties!
Do you want history to repeat itself today? Do you want blood to flow like a river here? "
The more Kong Yunzhen spoke, the angrier he got. He slammed his scepter and shouted, "The Sect Master has set an iron law. Anyone who dares to fight without permission will be expelled from the sect!
Don't you have any respect for the Sect Master?! "
Grand Senior Sister knelt on one knee and said, "Martial Uncle Kong, please calm down. Hidden Beauty Court has no such intentions."
Shanxue also knelt on one knee and said, "I, Shanxue, will never forget the Sect Master's teachings."
Li Xuanming also knelt on one knee. "I, Li Xuanming, was personally chosen by the Sect Master. He has given me a new lease on life, I dare not be disrespectful!"
The three of them were the leaders of the younger generation of Hidden Beauty Court, Hidden Brocade Court and Hidden Modesty Court. With them setting an example, the others naturally could not stand still. They all knelt on one knee and apologised.
Kong Yunzhen nodded slightly, his anger subsiding. He looked at Grand Senior Brother of Hidden Sword Court and asked, "What about you?"
Grand Senior Brother smiled bitterly and knelt on one knee. He said, "Martial Uncle Kong, Hidden Sword Court is now fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. How would we dare offend the Sect Master and Martial Uncle Kong?"
Ouyang Nan, Qin Mieqin and the rest also knelt on one knee. Li Chengfeng and Yuehan looked at each other and realised that they were the only ones standing in the stone room. This was too much of an eyesore, so they quickly knelt on one knee to show their obedience.
Kong Yunzhen said, "As for the jurisdiction of Shiwu Mountain, I will temporarily exercise my duties as the Sect Master. I would like to say: temporarily put aside!"
Grand Senior Sister suddenly looked up and said, "Martial Uncle Kong, I have a suggestion."
Kong Yunzhen said, "What suggestion?
If it's about the jurisdiction of Shiwu Mountain, then don't say anything else! "
Grand Senior Sister showed no fear. She said, "The decennial assessment is coming up soon. Not only does it affect the ranking of the three courts, it also affects every cultivator's rating.
If Shiwu Mountain is not cleared, I'm afraid many cultivators will regret it!
Although a cultivator's lifespan is much longer than a mortal's, no matter how long a cultivator's lifespan is, how many decades do they have to wait? "
Kong Yunzhen was enraged. "Do you take my words for granted?"
The female cultivators of Hidden Beauty Court looked at each other. They did not understand why Grand Senior Sister would still bring up such a sensitive topic at a time like this.
Grand Senior Sister said calmly, "My suggestion is that each of the three courts should send someone to clear Shiwu Mountain, and each court should send someone to manage Shiwu Mountain together."
Kong Yunzhen's expression softened. He stroked his beard and nodded slightly. "Sounds good!"
Grand Senior Sister continued, "The final ownership of Shiwu Mountain can be decided by the assessment in a month's time.
The first place among the three courts will be in charge of Shiwu Mountain.
After ten years, the assessment will be held again to determine the ownership of Shiwu Mountain. "
Kong Yunzhen muttered to himself. He felt that what she said made perfect sense, and there was nothing wrong with it.
The ownership of Shiwu Mountain was a very sensitive matter, and it seemed reasonable to link it to the assessment.
After all, cultivation was a matter of great competition. Cultivators who were not competitive and unmotivated would never be able to go on for long.
Kong Yunzhen looked at Shanxue and Li Xuanming. "What do you two think?"
Shanxue was proud of his cultivation, and naturally agreed. "Hidden Brocade Court has always been the leader of the four courts. I'm afraid Grand Senior Sister's suggestion will only benefit them!"
Li Xuanming thought to himself, 'Hidden Brocade Court may have powerful cultivators, but they are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. If it was a group battle between two courts, Hidden Modesty Court might not lose.'
Li Xuanming also said, "Hidden Modesty Court agrees!"
Kong Yunzhen nodded slightly. "Then it's decided this time!
As for the verdict ten years later, the Sect Leader will decide! "
Li Chengfeng watched as Grand Senior Sister stirred things up with just a few words, then calmed things down with just a few words. Her ability was no weaker than him, a 'sh * t stirrer'.
When she saw him staring at Grand Senior Sister, she secretly pinched him and whispered, "You must be seeing things!
Grand Senior Sister is prettier than me? "
Li Chengfeng gasped in pain. He lowered his voice and said, "I think something's wrong with Grand Senior Sister."
Su Yuehan said sourly, "Yeah, she even went down to personally protect you. Of course it's not right!"
