Chapter 112 The Four Meridians
"Daoist Ziyang, you are worrying too much!

I never thought that Daoist Fellow Zi Yang would do something that violates the Four Veins Agreement!
Just a reminder to fellow Daoist Zi Yang!

As the chief leader of Wudang, you should put the entire Wudang first!

Zhuo Yihang, if you need to give up, you should give up. If you need to cut, you should cut!"

Taoist Chongxu spoke in a calm tone.

But none of the four people present knew that Taoist Chongxu was afraid that Taoist Ziyang would see that the prince supported by the Taitai Peak lineage would fall into a disadvantage. So in this last less than a year of his term as the chief leader of Wudang, he would use his identity as the chief leader of Wudang to do something to stand up for the prince and increase his chances of winning.

Although it is impossible for the disciples of the other three sects to really listen to the words of Taoist Zi Yang, the "chief master" of Lunzhuang, and run to support the prince.

But the "Chief Master" is only the nominal supreme leader of Wudang.

In the eyes of outsiders, there is only one head of Wudang now, and that is Taoist Zi Yang.

The other three sect leaders, Taoist Chongxu, Taoist Mu, and Taoist Qingsong, are just Wudang celebrities and the masters of a peak.

The leader of a branch is just a title within Wudang!

Before the end of his term, Taoist Zi Yang's words were still very influential to the Wudang affiliated forces and even to many people in the entire Ming Dynasty.

After Taoist Zi Yang, the next person to take the position of "chief leader" of Lunzhuang is Taoist Chongxu of Tianzhu Peak.

Taoist Chongxu did not want to take over the position of "Chief Leader" of the Wudang Sect, which was caught up in the vortex of the struggle for the throne and was deeply mired in the eyes of affiliated forces and people in the martial arts world.

That is inconsistent with Taoist Chongxu's philosophy of tranquility and inaction, and quietly reciting Huangting Sutra.

"As the chief of Wudang, I should put the whole Wudang first!

Over the past few years, I, Zi Yang, believe that I have achieved this!

If you fellow Taoists disagree, you can go to fellow Taoists Qingfeng and Sizhu to explain and dismiss me from my position as the chief head of Wudang!"

When Taoist Zi Yang spoke, his eyes were looking directly at Taoist Chong Xu.

Obviously, the "fellow Taoists" in his words refer to Taoist Chongxu.

Taoist Chongxu's words made Taoist Ziyang very unhappy, especially the suggestion that Taoist Ziyang cut off ties with Zhuo Yihang. You have to know that Zhuo Yihang is not only Taoist Ziyang's beloved disciple, but also the next generation of Taitai Peak's rival. Taoist Chongxu's suggestion was not a suggestion at all, it was clearly asking Taoist Ziyang to cut off the future of the Taitai lineage!
Taoist Zi Yang said here in a fit of anger that he should be deposed from the position of Wudang's chief leader, which is another rule of Wudang Sect.

Although the four sects agree, the Wudang chief can appropriately favor the sect he comes from.

After all, everyone is selfish. If one only gives without getting anything in return, who would be willing to do the hard-working job of being the chief of Wudang?
But the four sects also have a tacit understanding that the Wudang leader cannot be too partial.

Once the leader of a branch sect believes that the chief leader is too biased, he can go to the supreme elder to make a statement.

A joint meeting was held by the supreme elders and the heads of the four branch sects.

Once the majority of people agree that the chief is too partial, the Wudang chief will be immediately deposed and replaced by an elder from the deposed chief's lineage to serve out the remainder of his term.

The five-year term is determined by whichever lineage it belongs to!

No discounts!
This is also one of the important reasons why the four Wudang sects can live in peace.

“Fellow Daoist Ziyang and Daoist Chongxu also have sincere wishes and want to give you a heads-up in advance!

Daoist Fellow Ziyang, don't overreact! This could easily destroy the unity of the four Wudang sects!"

Mu Dao Ren interrupted and tried to smooth things over.

"Master Mu, please stop being so hypocritical here~
Fellow Taoists here, who doesn't know that you have a close relationship with Marquis Zhenyuan?
Even your position as the head of Mingyue Peak is thanks to the strong support of Zhenyuan Hou Zhao Yuguang!

Otherwise, you might not have been able to compete with Fellow Daoist Mei!

Now that Marquis Fu'an has successfully defeated the Grandmaster, I wonder how happy you are!
Why bother playing double-act with Chongxu to target my Taitai Peak! "

Taoist Zi Yang was not impressed by Taoist Mu's attempt to smooth things over. He was even angrier with him than with Taoist Chong Xu and glared directly at Taoist Mu.

Taoist Zi Yang and Taoist Mu have no personal grudges against each other.

But who made Taitai Peak where Taoist Zi Yang was located support the prince, while Taoist Mu was a close friend of Marquis Zhenyuan Zhao Yuguang and supported Marquis Fu'an?

The two of them had a lot of cold eyes against each other because of their dispute over positions!

Looking at Taoist Zi Yang's extremely harsh words, Chongxu and Qingsong were not surprised.

Normally, when the four sects of Wudang Sect were discussing matters, Taoist Zi Yang and Taoist Mu would often clash because of the different objects they were betting on.

Now it was just that the Taoist Mu had changed to Taoist Zi Yang with extremely aggressive words.

However, we can also see from here the impact of Zhu Chengwu's successful counterattack against the Grandmaster.

Only those who are at a disadvantage will use anger and loud talking to cover up their weakness and insecurity.

The party that has the upper hand is usually calm and indifferent, and ignores the "barking" of the loser!

"Don't be anxious, Daoist Zi Yang! It's still not too late for you to cut ties with the Crown Prince!

And even if something unexpected happens to Taitai Peak because of your mistake, with Mu Dao Ren and Mingyue Peak here, we will definitely ensure that your Taitai Peak inheritance will continue!"

As Chongxu and Qingsong expected, facing Taoist Zi Yang's angry glare, Taoist Mu's expression remained unchanged and his words were even calmer.

"you…

Taoist Mu, do you want to fight with me, Zi Yang?

Even if Chongxu helps you, I can still beat you to a pulp!"

Taoist Zi Yang stared at Taoist Mu with wide eyes and stood up.

As soon as there is a disagreement, we start fighting!
This is one of the characteristics of the martial artists in this world.

With a sharp weapon in mind, murderous intent arises!
Moreover, warriors are different from politicians. They spend most of their energy on practicing martial arts and do not have as many cunning ideas as politicians and officials.

If I can't beat you in argument, then I'll defeat you physically.

For warriors, only the victor has the right to speak.

The winner is right!

Taoist Zi Yang is a typical warrior.

As the chief leader of Wudang, Taoist Ziyang’s most famous martial arts are not the Tai Chi boxing and swordsmanship passed down by Taoist Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, but the Taitai Peak’s unique skills “Serial Deadly Sword Technique” and “Nine Palaces Divine Palm Technique”.

From this, we can also see how murderous Taoist Zi Yang is.

"Let's fight, I'm not afraid of you!

Zi Yang, don't brag. When we were one-on-one in the past, when have you ever defeated me?
Why do you need to drag Daoist Fellow Chongxu into this? "

Mu Dao Ren also stood up.

As a warrior, Mu Dao Ren is never unfamiliar with or afraid of fighting.

Moreover, as the head of Mingyue Peak, how could Taoist Mu underestimate Taoist Ziyang, the head of Taitai Peak?

Although it is widely rumored that Taoist Ziyang is the best fighter of Wudang Sect, he has twice fought against the Grandmaster in a short period of time.

But that was because Zi Yang had a bad temper and had fought with many people.

In terms of true strength, Taoist Mu does not think that his "Liang Yi Divine Sword" from Ming Yue Peak is inferior to Taoist Zi Yang's "Chain of Deadly Swords" from Tai Tai Peak.

In the past few battles, Taoist Ziyang and Taoist Mu had only gained an advantage at most, but could not turn it into a winning position. Therefore, Taoist Mu was afraid of fighting Taoist Ziyang again.

"Fellow Daoist Ziyang, Fellow Daoist Mu, please calm down for now!
We are gathered here now to discuss how to respond to Marquis Fu'an's successful counterattack against the Grandmaster!
Should we break the hundreds of years of inheritance rules of our four Wudang sects?

It’s not for you to fight for your own pride!”

Taoist Qingsong from Rihua Peak spoke in an urgent tone and quickly stopped Taoist Ziyang and Taoist Mu.

Tianzhu Peak and Rihua Peak watched from the sidelines.

Over the past decade or so, Taoist Zi Yang and Taoist Mu had many quarrels and even fought because of the people they supported.

Taoist Qingsong didn't want to watch Taoist Ziyang and Taoist Mu fighting like this, as that would waste a lot of time.

That would delay Taoist Qingsong's teaching Yun Feiyang tonight.

"For thousands of years, Grandmaster has been the pinnacle of the martial arts path!

The top master is even respected as the grand master by people in the world!
But according to the ancestors’ notes, there is still a way above the grandmaster!
The ancestor saw that road and even walked into it for quite a distance!

Therefore, no one can stop the Patriarch’s Jiazi magic to slay demons. Even the Grand Master can be killed by the Patriarch!

Now Marquis Fu'an has reproduced the miracle of his ancestors and successfully defeated the grandmaster at a first-class level!

We have to consider whether it is possible for Fu'an Hou to see that road in the future, or even walk into it...

If Marquis Fu'an reaches the level of the ancestor, then we~~"

Taoist Chongxu took over Taoist Qingsong's words and expressed his considerations.

This emergency meeting of the four sects was originally requested by Taoist Chongxu to be held by Taoist Ziyang, the chief leader of Wudang.

Taoist Chongxu was not interested in the dispute between Taoist Ziyang and Taoist Mu.

However, Taoist Chongxu was extremely concerned about whether Marquis Fu'an could reach the heights that Grandmaster Sanfeng once achieved, because this might affect the survival of Wudang, the largest sect in the martial arts world.

When Patriarch Sanfeng was alive, if it were not for the kindness of Shaolin Master Jueyuan, Shaolin Temple, once the number one sect in the martial arts world, would have been destroyed by Patriarch Sanfeng long ago.

How is it possible to be as famous as Wudang today!
But now there is no teacher like Zhu Chengwu, the Marquis of Fu'an, in the Wudang Sect...

Once Marquis Fu'an reaches the height that Patriarch Sanfeng once reached, will there be another "Jia Zi Destroying the Demons"? Will Wudang, the current number one sect in the martial arts world, become a "devil" again? This makes Taoist Chongxu very worried.

Although Taoist Mu was close friends with Marquis Zhenyuan, and thus stood for Marquis Fu'an, as one of the four Wudang sect leaders, Taoist Chongxu would not understand that Taoist Mu was friendly with Zhao Yugang of the Zhao family, not Marquis Fu'an Zhu Chengwu.

Taoist Mu may not have the dignity to keep the Wudang Sect in the future!
"Brother Chongxu, seeing that Marquis Fu'an is gaining momentum, do you want to break the Four Sects' agreement and support Marquis Fu'an together with Mingyue Peak?"

Taoist Chongxu’s words made Taoist Ziyang furious.

Taoist Chongxu had targeted him in his words before, and now Taoist Ziyang felt that Taoist Chongxu's true intentions were revealed!

Taoist Chongxu wanted to work with Taoist Mu's Mingyue Peak to support Marquis Fu'an, divide up the cake after Marquis Fu'an comes to power, and push his Taitai Peak into the abyss of failure.

After Taoist Chongxu finished speaking, not only Taoist Ziyang was furious, but Taoist Mu and Taoist Chongxu also frowned and looked at each other.

"I still say the same thing. Although the Marquis of Fu'an defeated the Duke of Yan and the Marquis of Xibei, the Duke of Yan and the Marquis of Xibei are both members of the imperial court. Their battle examples are simple and questionable...

Moreover, defeat and killing are two different concepts and difficulties!

I don’t think Marquis Fu’an can compare to Patriarch Sanfeng!”

Taoist Qingsong seemed to say nothing, but in fact he said everything.

What do you mean you don't think Marquis Fu'an can compare with Patriarch Sanfeng?
Taoist Qingsong does not think that Marquis Fu'an can reach the level of Master Sanfeng.

Since he cannot reach the level of Patriarch Sanfeng, he naturally cannot threaten Wudang Sect, the largest sect in Ming Dynasty.

There is no need to change the hundreds of years of inheritance and tacit understanding of the four Wudang sects just for Marquis Fu'an.

"Is this what Daoist Fellow Chongxu alone meant, or do Daoist Fellows Qingfeng and Sizhu also mean the same thing?"

Taoist Mu looked directly at Taoist Chongxu and spoke directly to the crux of the matter.

Hearing Taoist Mu ask this question, Taoist Zi Yang and Taoist Qing Song turned their eyes at the same time and looked at Taoist Chong Xu.

At this time, Taoist Zi Yang no longer looked like he had been confronting Taoist Mu before.

Even a warrior like Taoist Zi Yang, who had a strong martial spirit, had already learned how to control his emotions and how to act after having been the head of Taitai Peak and the chief head of Wudang for so long.

"What do you mean, Brother Mu?
This is of course just my consideration!

Since Uncle Qingfeng and Junior Brother Sizhu became grandmasters, they have long since left the Tianzhu Peak lineage in accordance with the agreement of the four lineages and have become the common supreme elders of the four lineages!
Even if Daoist Fellow Qingfeng and Daoist Fellow Sizhu have any ideas, the first person they should communicate with is Daoist Fellow Ziyang, who is the head of Wudang Sect. How could they communicate with me? "

Facing the inquiring and scrutinizing gazes of Taoist Mu, Taoist Zi Yang and Taoist Qing Song, Taoist Chongxu spoke calmly and steadily.

The change in the name shows the attitude of Taoist Chongxu and Tianzhu Peak.

Although Qingfeng and Sizhu were both from Tianzhu Peak, one was Uncle Chongxu and the other was Junior Brother Chongxu.

But after they broke through to the Grandmaster level one after another, Chongxu and Tianzhu Peak let them go!
They were no longer called uncles or junior brothers, but according to the agreement and rules, they were called fellow Taoists, just like the heads of the other three sects. They became the common supreme elders of the four sects of Wudang and the common seniors of the four sects' disciples.

“Hahahaha~~
I'm just asking casually, don't mind it, Brother Chongxu!
Fellow Daoist Zi Yang, Fellow Daoist Qing Song, you are really something, why are you looking at Fellow Daoist Chong Xu like that!
It seems like we are worried that Tianzhu Peak will break the Four Veins Agreement!"

After hearing Taoist Chongxu's reply, Taoist Mu looked at Taoist Chongxu with a steady gaze for a few breaths, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

Taoist Mu took the lead in easing the atmosphere, and Taoist Zi Yang and Taoist Qing Song also withdrew their heavy gazes from Taoist Chong Xu one after another.

“Marquis Fu’an only has the strength to defeat the Grandmaster by relying on the high-level rare earth and heaven treasure, the Earth’s Core Fire Lotus, and related secret and forbidden techniques!
It's still far from being as good as the founder, so Fellow Daoist Chongxu should not worry too much!

It is still unclear who will win the battle between him and the crown prince for the throne!"

Taoist Zi Yang finally made a summary.

His words clearly revealed his refusal to destroy the hundreds of years of inheritance and agreement of the four veins.

"Zi Yang, it's because of your unwillingness to admit defeat.

After Marquis Fu'an ascends the throne, I will ensure that your Taitai Peak lineage continues unbroken!"

It was the same words, but when Taoist Mu said them this time, it no longer made Taoist Zi Yang angry. Instead, it made Taoist Zi Yang feel comforted.

"Okay, now that we have reached a consensus, let's do this for now!
I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"

When Taoist Qingsong saw that a majority vote had already been reached, he immediately offered to leave.

Yun Feiyang is now at a critical moment!

Taoist Qingsong must go back and keep an eye on it.

Yun Feiyang is not only Taoist Qingsong...but also the seed of the Grandmaster of Rihua Peak that Taoist Qingsong has devoted all his efforts to cultivate.

There can be no accidents!
With the departure of Taoist Qingsong, the emergency meeting of the four Wudang sects came to an end.

Taoist Zi Yang and Taoist Mu did not fight in the end.

The tacit understanding and rules of the four Wudang sects have not changed in the slightest.

Taoist Chongxu's attempt also ended in failure!
