Chapter 96: Testing! Ermei invites

"What did I think it was?"

Hong Zhengdao smiled when he heard this: "The Jiang family has been destroyed, and you are all in Du'e Gate now. If I still stay in the Yuan family, I won't get any good results. It's better for me to come here earlier."

After that, he took a sip of tea and continued: “You haven’t been to the outer city for some time, so you don’t know that the current situation has changed.

"The Huo family no longer lives in seclusion in a corner, and has joined forces with the Sha family, the weakest of the four major families, to begin eroding the businesses of the other three families.

"Originally they only dared to do small actions secretly, but now that the Jiang family has been destroyed, the Huo family has lost a layer of pressure, so they will definitely be proud and take drastic actions.

“But the Yuan and Zhu families will definitely not sit idly by and watch him grow so powerful, and they will definitely take some action.

“In order to avoid becoming a thorn in the eye, the Huo family will definitely find an opportunity to unite with our Du’e Sect, thus forming a situation of three inside and two outside confronting each other.

“Plus, the Sha family also has ambitions and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to grow and develop, and will also secretly look for opportunities to cooperate with us.

“In short, the four major families are not of one mind. After the Jiang family is destroyed, they will only have more ideas.

"In a chaotic situation, it all depends on who has more means and abilities."

Hong Zhengdao said earnestly.

"I see."

Zhang Lingshan nodded in agreement.

Previously, Sun Xian suggested that we unite with the Huo family and face the three families directly.

Now the master has gone a step further. Unite with the Huo family openly and the Sha family behind the scenes. This way, there will be more allies, fewer opponents, less pressure, and more opportunities to breathe.

Hong Zhengdao added: "But all of this has a prerequisite, that is, the strength of our Du'e Sect must be able to intimidate them. Otherwise, they will join forces to destroy us first. After all, whether it is evil demons or bandits and bullies, they will only pick on the weak first."

"That's right. So someone must have tried to test the Jiang family today to see if the culprit who destroyed the Jiang family has any real ability..."

Zhang Lingshan was speaking.

Xu Liang came and reported: "Junior Brother Shan, Zhan Ming sent someone to ask for help."

"it is good."

Zhang Lingshan put on a mask, threw his black robe, held a Zen stick in his hand, moved his feet slightly, and his figure had already passed Xu Liang and met the person who came.

"Deputy Sect Master!"

The visitor hurriedly said: "Someone from the Dajiang Gang is resisting, and it seems that the inner city Yuan family is backing them. We are no match for them, so we beg the deputy sect leader to help!"

"Walk."

Zhang Lingshan picked up the other person and walked as fast as the wind.

A moment of effort.

Then they arrived at the headquarters of the Dajiang Gang.

boom!
Zhang Lingshan kicked the door open and strode in. He saw Zhan Ming lying on the ground, with a big man with a golden sword sitting beside him. He stepped on Zhan Ming's back with his right foot and said coldly: "Don't move! Otherwise, I will kill him."

"Do you think what you said would be of any use to me?"

Zhang Lingshan sneered, swung his right hand, and the Zen staff flew out into the air.

boom!
The man flew backwards, stabbed through the heart by the Zen stick, with an incredible expression on his face.

He didn't expect that he couldn't escape even though he was so far away.

The gap in strength is too big.

Wasn't it said that the Jiang family was destroyed by the three families in the inner city, and that the Du'e Clan was just a small force temporarily united by some escaped servants of the Jiang family, and that it didn't have any strong men in the Bone Tempering Realm at all?

I... was deceived.

When he was dying, the man forced himself to turn his head and look at the house next to him.

There, there was a red-haired, hunchbacked man who claimed to be from the Yuan family's Bone Tempering Realm.

He deceived himself.

Whoosh!
A figure suddenly broke through the window, rushed out from the back of the room, and left the place in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Lingshan frowned.

This guy came to test their ability to pass the Du'e Gate.

When he found out that he could kill a peak Yi Jin realm cultivator with one move, he decided not to do anything but escaped directly to avoid escalating the conflict and bringing trouble upon himself.

"It seems that my strength has already made him afraid. I wonder if this person is really from the Yuan family, or is pretending to be from the Yuan family to attract hatred."

Zhang Lingshan thought about it, and then he asked the people from the Dajiang Gang what the other party looked like and how they were dressed.

Everyone present quickly answered truthfully.

"Red hair, hunchback, go back and ask Master Hong, maybe he knows which family he belongs to."

Zhang Lingshan thought to himself.

Then he handed the place over to Zhan Ming and returned to Hong's Martial Arts School.

……

Dongyang Collection, Mingyue Tower.

A beautiful woman with red lips was sitting in front of the tea table, and a strong and sturdy woman was standing behind her.

Who else could it be but Huo Zhenzhen and her maid Xiaoman?

Opposite Huo Zhenzhen sat a dignified and elegant fair-skinned woman who wore no makeup but was more eye-catching than Huo Zhenzhen.

Her beauty cannot be described in words. She is like the Lady of the Nine Heavens descending to the mortal world. Everyone who sees her is amazed and stunned, and cannot help but be intoxicated by her graceful figure.

In comparison, Huo Zhenzhen is a completely vulgar person, extremely vulgar, much more vulgar than the girls in brothels.

This is the power of contrast.

Huo Zhenzhen was originally a top-notch beauty, and the prostitutes in the brothel were in no way worthy of being compared with her.

But in front of this person, she was reduced to dust.

Sha Mingyue, the first of the four beauties in the inner city, lives up to her reputation.

"Zhenzhen, how come you have time to come to your sister's place today?"

Sha Mingyue poured tea with her right hand and smiled softly.

Huo Zhenzhen got straight to the point and said, "I heard that a Du'e Clan suddenly appeared in the outer city and is trying to snatch the business that originally belonged to the Jiang family. I wanted to see what my sister thinks."

"Du'e Clan. They are not just a name for destroying the Jiang family. I will not get involved in this mess."

Sha Mingyue said.

Huo Zhenzhen frowned: "Was the Jiang family really destroyed by the Du'e Clan?"

"Who else could it be? The Jiang family's magic formation is unparalleled in the world. There must be a master in the Du'e Sect. For example, the sect leader, Zen Master Du'e, is a top-notch Buddhist master. Apart from him, who else can break the Jiang family's magic formation?"

"hehe."

Huo Zhenzhen smiled sarcastically: "It seems that my sister has her own plans, so I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he stood up and strode away with Xiaoman.

Sha Mingyue watched her leave quietly without trying to keep her.

After a while.

A hunchbacked red-haired old man walked in and said with a smile, "I heard that Huo Zhenzhen and Jiang Shaobai got together and wanted to bypass our Sha family and directly unite with the Jiang family. But I didn't expect that the Jiang family would be directly destroyed. It was all in vain, haha."

Sha Mingyue said calmly, "Only Huo Liuyin is a person of character in the Huo family, the others are trash. The Du'e Sect has emerged as a new force, so there is no need for us to waste time on the Huo family. It doesn't matter who we cooperate with. Grandpa Feng, have you met the person behind the Du'e Sect? How is it?"

"I have seen him. He is very powerful. He can kill a peak Yijin Realm cultivator with a single strike. His speed and strength are not inferior to mine. But he is wearing a black robe and a mask, so I cannot clearly see his appearance and body shape."

Sha Chifeng paused for a moment, and then continued, "The only information we know is that there should be a 'Shan' character in his name, and his subordinates in the Du'e Sect also call him Shan Ye. But he should not be that old, it's just a nickname."

"Hiding his figure and appearance shows that he must be someone we are familiar with, but he just doesn't want to be exposed. But when we cooperate with him, we don't care about his background. As long as he can be used by us, it's fine."

Sha Mingyue still spoke in a calm tone, as if she had everything planned out.

Sha Chifeng said: "But I'm afraid that raising a tiger will bring trouble. After all, we don't know what his purpose is. Why does he want to destroy the Jiang family? Is it a personal grudge or..."

"Of course it's a personal grudge. After all, the Wordless Scripture was kept in the Jiang family's secret room and was not taken away by him. It is obvious that he is not here for the Wordless Scripture." "That's true." Sha Chifeng nodded.

Sha Mingyue said: "If Grandpa Feng is still worried, then I will go see him."

"That's great. Do you need my secret protection?"

"No need. So as not to arouse the other party's vigilance."

"it is good."

After Sha Chifeng finished speaking, he disappeared in the room in a flash.

He has absolute confidence in Sha Mingyue.

As long as he is a man, as long as Sha Mingyue is willing, he will definitely fall at her feet.

Even if she is a woman, if she is frightened by Sha Mingyue's aura, she will feel ashamed and lose her composure.

In short, compared to himself who is at the Bone Tempering Realm, Sha Mingyue is the biggest trump card of their Sha family.

With Sha Mingyue taking action, wouldn’t it be easy to capture the deputy leader of the Du’e Sect?
……

Hong's Martial Arts School.

This is the third time Zhang Lingshan has come back.

In addition to Sha Chifeng's previous test, there were also people testing two other territories, but everyone seemed to have made an agreement and no one showed up to take action. They just left after seeing him kill people with lightning speed.

From this we can see that strength is indeed the root of everything.

If I were not strong enough, these people would kill me first with lightning speed once they found out they were no match for me. This is what they mean by "capture the leader first".

Unfortunately, I let them down.

"It seems that all the forces are very smart. No one wants to be the first to target our Du'e Sect. The destruction of the Jiang family has indeed scared them. This is very good. After today, the power of Du'e Sect will be completely formed."

When Hong Zhengdao learned the results of the battle, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Now, as long as he successfully breaks through the bone forging stage, he will be completely stable. Even if several families join forces, they will not be able to shake their Du'e Sect in the slightest.

"But we still have to be careful about someone secretly doing something."

Hong Zhengdao reminded.

Zhang Lingshan said: "Master, you should focus on your cultivation now, and let me take care of other things."

"Yeah, that's right. Once I break through, everything will be fine."

"Then I wish Master success soon."

Zhang Lingshan sent Hong Zhengdao back to his room and asked Mighty King Kong to guard him well. He couldn't help feeling tired.

Although Vajra is good, there is only one.

Zen Master Du'e has not responded yet.

The Du'e Sect now only has one top fighter, and is not as good as the Huo Family who does not have the Nine-Nine Yin God Array to guard it. It is difficult for them to support themselves alone.

Although the various forces are wary of each other and are unwilling to take the initiative to attack themselves.

But as Master Hong said, they are afraid that someone will mess around secretly. God knows when someone will attack their Du'e Gate, or create hatred and frame others, and use their Du'e Gate as a weapon.

In short, before Master Hong makes a breakthrough, I have to be alert at all times and never slack off.

Otherwise, all efforts may fail.

That night.

Zhang Lingshan did not rest, but secretly went to Feng's pharmacy and met Feng Ji.

Feng Ji got straight to the point: "Deputy Sect Leader of Du'e Sect, is that you?"

"it's me."

Zhang Lingshan did not hide anything.

Although he was wearing a black robe and a mask, there were many flaws along the way from when he rushed out of the Jiang family to when he settled in the Hong family martial arts gym. It was not surprising that people who were familiar with him could guess it at once.

Feng Ji exclaimed, "I knew you were not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to soar to the sky in such a short time. Are you here to get the monster wine?"

"Yes. Although we have established the Du'e Sect, we are surrounded by wolves. We still have to seize the time to consolidate our strength to avoid any setbacks."

"That's right. Do you need me to call Wang Dun and the others back to help you? They have all broken through the Yijin realm, and their Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound Art has made great progress. They have been fighting outside for many years, are good at hiding, and have a tacit understanding of cooperation. They can definitely help."

"Okay."

Zhang Lingshan was overjoyed.

If there are familiar friends to use, it is natural to use acquaintances first. At least they are reliable and trustworthy.

Next.

While Feng Ji was filling medicinal wine for Zhang Lingshan, he was discussing the next countermeasures.

As the saying goes, one person's shortcomings are equal to two people's strengths.

Having one more person to help with advice is definitely not a bad thing.

Zhang Lingshan benefited a lot, but did not stay here for too long. After getting the medicinal wine, he immediately returned to Hong's Martial Arts School.

Nothing more to say, just drink alcohol and take medicine to increase energy.

After you have fattened up your body, you can then improve the Broken Jade Bone Tempering Method to a minor level of success.

After all, it is a physically harmful martial art, and the main concern is over-consumption, which is not a good thing in the current situation.

Silent all night.

The next day.

A strong and sturdy woman came with a letter.

Zhang Lingshan opened it and took a look.

[Please invite the deputy leader of Du'e Sect to come to the Huo family for a chat. ——Huo Zhenzhen. 】

"Who is Huo Zhenzhen?" Zhang Lingshan asked.

Zhan Ming said: "The eldest lady of the Huo family, the most beautiful woman in the outer city, and the four beauties in the inner city are collectively known as the Five Beauties of Jincheng."

Sun Xian added: "It is said that Huo Zhenzhen is a dissolute person who has affairs with many young talents. I am afraid that she wants to do something bad to the deputy master."

Zhang Lingshan suddenly laughed: "How could she know that I am a young talent? Could it be that everyone has guessed that I, Zhang Lingshan, am the deputy leader of Du'e Sect? Although my confidentiality measures are indeed not very good, it is not possible that everyone will know it so quickly."

"Then... this, there is no way to know."

Sun Xian was speechless.

Zhan Mingze said, "Little Huo Zhenzhen, is she worthy of the deputy sect master to see her? First, if she wants to see the deputy sect master, she should come in person. Second, even if she really wants to see him, it should be his father Huo Jun who should come to see him. Huo Zhenzhen's status is not worthy of talking to the deputy sect master."

"That's true. Just reject her."

Zhang Lingshan waved his hand.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, another letter arrived.

[I am Sha Mingyue, and I invite you to come to Mingyue Tower for a chat. I hope you will not refuse. Mingyue will sing and dance for you, so that you will not regret your visit.]

"Here comes another one."

Zhang Lingshan shook his head: "Refuse it."

“You can’t refuse this.”

Sun Xian shouted anxiously, "Master Shan, this Sha Mingyue is different from Huo Zhenzhen. Regardless of identity, status, appearance, figure, and temperament, Huo Zhenzhen is not even worthy of carrying her shoes. Although the Five Beauties of Jincheng are called the Five Beauties, the other four cannot be compared with Sha Mingyue. If Master Shan misses this person's invitation, he will regret it for the rest of his life."

"Oh?"

Zhang Lingshan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You sound so excited. If Sha Mingyue asked you to kill me, would you kill me without blinking an eye?"

"This……"

Sun Xian's face immediately showed panic, but he slowly calmed down and said in a deep voice: "I dare not deceive Master Shan. If Sha Mingyue really wants me to kiss her and then make a move on you, I am afraid I will really do as she wishes. I was lucky enough to meet this girl once, and I will never forget it. The feeling is indescribable. Master Shan will understand after he meets her."
