Chapter 118 Five Factions Alliance
"The Yi Jin Jing is not an ordinary martial art. It is extremely difficult to practice. If Young Master Linghu wants to learn it completely, it will probably take some time."

Master Fang Zheng fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand and shook his head.

"It just so happens that everyone from the Five Mountains Sect is in Shaolin Temple right now. Taoist Priest Chu, would you like to meet them?"

Master Fang Zheng asked Chu Yuan.

"Let's go meet him."

Chu Yuan said.

No matter what, we are all acquaintances. Since we are in Shaolin Temple, it would be better to meet them.

"This way, you two, please!"

Master Fang Zheng stood up and led the way.

Just as Fang Zheng, Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying walked out of the door, the group of six old monks with frosty white beards hanging down to their chests, who had appeared with Fang Zheng just now, also appeared at this time and followed behind Chu Yuan and the others.

"Brother Chu, isn't the Shaolin Temple too cautious? They sent so many old monks to follow us."

Ren Yingying and Chu Yuan walked behind Fang Zheng, and Ren Yingying whispered to Chu Yuan.

"It's quite cautious."

Chu Yuan nodded.

With his eyesight, he could tell that although these old monks following behind them were extremely old, they had steady steps, bright eyes, and long breaths. They must be the masters of the Shaolin Temple.

Like those old Taoist priests of Qingcheng Sect, they are also the sect's hidden masters.

From this we can see that Shaolin Temple has existed for a thousand years and has a profound heritage.

The last time when they went to Shu with the Wudang Sect to attack Qingcheng Mountain, not all the masters of Shaolin Temple were dispatched.

It's just that the Shaolin Temple is too cautious. When they welcomed me in just now, it was acceptable that so many old monks came with me. But now these old monks are still following me without moving. This is too much of a precaution against me.

“Master Chu, please forgive me. After all, Master Chu is the world-famous “Qingcheng Sword Immortal”. After the last incident, Qingcheng Sect and Shaolin Temple have some hatred, so the elders in Shaolin Temple are inevitably a little cautious with Master Chu.”

As if he had heard Ren Yingying's words, Master Fang Zheng turned around and replied.

For a strong man like Chu Yuan who can defeat all the masters of the righteous sects by himself, it is never too careful.

After what happened last time, who knows whether Chu Yuan still harbors any grudge against Shaolin Temple.

The old monks in the temple followed along, so even if Chu Yuan wanted to take action, they could restrain him and not catch him off guard.

"If Shaolin had known this would happen, why would they have done it in the first place?"

Ren Yingying guessed what Master Fangzheng and Shaolin Temple were thinking, and she said to Master Fangzheng.

"This girl is so beautiful, she is so stunningly beautiful that she must be the daughter of the former leader of the Demon Cult, Ren Woxing, and now the Saint of the Demon Cult, Miss Ren Yingying, right?"

Fang Zheng pretended not to hear what Ren Yingying said. He paused for a moment and walked together with Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying. He glanced at Ren Yingying.

"Old monk, do you recognize me?"

Ren Yingying looked surprised.

"A few months ago, when Taoist Chu was fighting his enemy, Miss Ren was also there. She even played the piano for Taoist Chu to cheer him up. I heard that Miss Ren and Taoist Chu are already married. I haven't congratulated you two yet. I wish you a long and happy marriage..."

Master Fang Zheng said.

"You guys at Shaolin Temple are well-informed. Even if you know my identity, what can you do?"

When Ren Yingying heard that Fang Zheng actually knew about their marriage, her eyes turned cold.

"Do you still think that Brother Chu's private friendship with the Demon Sect is against your righteous rules, and you want to attack the Sun Moon Sect and the Qingcheng Sect?"

Ren Yingying asked Master Fang Zheng again.

"Miss Ren is joking."

Hearing Ren Yingying's words, Fang Zheng smiled awkwardly.

Qingcheng sent out a Qingcheng swordsman, who fought alone against all the masters of the righteous sects and was invincible in both the black and white worlds.

If we add the Demon Cult...

Don't forget that the Demon Cult also has a leader named Dongfang Bubai who is extremely skilled in martial arts and is known as the best in the world.

If the Qingcheng Sect and the Demon Cult join forces, there will be no chance of defeat.

I feel that if these two sects join forces, they can defeat all the martial arts sects in the world.

What’s more, there is a Shaolin Temple!
"Does the abbot want Shaolin to continue to be the leader of the martial arts world?"

Chu Yuan, who had been silent just now, suddenly said to Master Fang Zheng.

"What do you mean by that, Master Chu?"

Fang Zheng looked puzzled.

"There are constant fights in the martial arts world and endless disputes in the rivers and lakes. I plan to hold a martial arts conference and invite all the masters of both the righteous and evil ways in the world to participate in the competition. The top five sects will join forces to form a five-faction alliance to control the fighting and fighting within a certain range..."

Chu Yuan said.

"The Five Sects Alliance... is similar to the Five Mountains Sword Sects before?"

After listening to this, Fang Zheng still didn't understand, and he said in an uncertain tone.

"Almost. However, the Five Sects Alliance that was established will not only include the righteous sects, but will also include the Sun and Moon Sect."

Chu Yuan said to Master Fang Zheng.

"Even the Sun Moon Divine Sect is included?"

Master Fang Zheng was shocked.

Zuo Lengchan, the former leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, after gaining the position of leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, once he raised the leader's flag, all the other sects dared to disobey him except for the righteous leaders like Shaolin and Wudang.

From what Chu Yuan said, he wanted to include the strongest sects from both the righteous and evil paths into this five-faction alliance.

If Chu Yuan could really accomplish this, then Chu Yuan would be the most powerful person in the martial arts world.

"Master Chu wants to be the leader of the martial arts world?"

Fang Zheng looked at Chu Yuan with a vigilant look.

In the martial arts world!
There is never a shortage of ambitious people.

For example, Zuo Lengchan and Yue Buqun...

With Chu Yuan's martial arts skills, if he wants to unify the martial arts world, I'm afraid there will be a bloody storm in the entire martial arts world, and even Shaolin and Wudang will not be able to stay out of it.

"it's not true."

Chu Yuan shook his head.

"After the Jianghu Conference, I plan to establish the Five Sects Alliance. Power will not be concentrated in the hands of one person. Instead, the leaders of the Five Sects Alliance will jointly decide on Jianghu affairs. From now on, the righteous sects will manage the righteous martial arts world, and the evil sects will manage the evil martial arts world. If there is a conflict between the righteous and evil sects, it can be resolved through fighting, and no war can be launched at will."

"For major events that occur in the martial arts world, the leaders of the five factions must agree together before a decision can be made."

"As long as any faction disagrees, no decision can be made privately."

"The Five Factions Alliance can decide all major events in the martial arts world..."

Chu Yuan expressed his thoughts on the Five Factions Alliance.

"This……"

After Fang Zheng heard this, he was shocked.

Just by hearing it, he felt that the power of this five-faction alliance was simply unimaginable.

If Chu Yuan could really accomplish this, the sect that successfully joined the Five Sects Alliance could even decide all matters, big or small, that happened in the martial arts world.

"Master Chu, according to your opinion, in addition to Shaolin, Sun Moon Sect, and Qingcheng Sect, which other sects do you think will be part of the Five Sects Alliance?"

Then Fang Zheng asked.

Since Chu Yuan mentioned that the five factions formed an alliance, they would rely on their own abilities at the martial arts conference.

In today's world, apart from the Qingcheng Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect, the two sects with recognized best masters in the world, there are actually only a handful of sects that truly have top masters.

"Shaolin is one, Wudang is one!"

"The remaining word can only be decided through a duel."

"But it's too early to say these things now. Perhaps there are other masters in this world who are hiding their true abilities?"

Chu Yuan thought about it and said.

"Wudang, Shaolin, Qingcheng, Sun Moon Sect..."

Fang Zheng's eyes were filled with horror.

These four sects alone are enough to represent the martial arts world.

"Master Chu, this is a serious matter. I cannot give you an answer right now. Please allow me to think about it before we discuss this matter."

After pondering for a long time, Master Fang Zheng said.

He didn't dare to agree rashly because this was a major event involving the entire martial arts world.

He didn't dare to refuse casually.

If Chu Yuan was rejected, after the martial arts competition, the Five Sects Alliance founded by Chu Yuan would exclude Shaolin Temple, which might exclude Shaolin Temple from the most powerful alliance in the martial arts world in the future.

Chu Yuan's proposal is different from those of previous ambitious people who wanted to unify the martial arts world.

Because those ambitious people who want to unify the martial arts world, no matter how high their martial arts skills are, are ultimately the power of one person or one faction.

Even if the entire martial arts world is no match for the opponent at the moment, the opponent will always be defeated and lose power.

And Chu Yuan’s plan for the five factions’ alliance after the martial arts competition.

In fact, it is to unite the most powerful sects in the world together. This is the power that can truly dominate the martial arts world.

Even in Fang Zheng's opinion, only these four sects are needed, and it doesn't matter whether the fifth sect exists or not.

But as Chu Yuan said, there are always mountains beyond mountains in this world, and no one knows whether there are other masters in seclusion.

For example, Senior Feng from the back mountain of the Five Mountains Sect!
Plus the Wudang Sect, and the sloppy Taoist Zhang Sanfeng who lived for more than two hundred years!

"Okay." Chu Yuan nodded.

This is a serious matter and it is indeed not something that can be decided in a short period of time.

While he and Fang Zheng were talking, they had already arrived at a monk's house in the backyard of Shaolin Temple.

This monastery is a small courtyard. When Chu Yuan walked in, he saw many familiar people.

Yi Lin, Tian Boguang, Tianmen Taoist, Mr. Mo Da...

The three nuns Dingxian, Dingyi and Dingjing, as well as Ning Zhongze were all in the yard.

And the Six Immortals of Taogu?

"Why are you guys here too?"

Chu Yuan asked the Six Immortals of Taogu.

These six people are considered masters in the Sun and Moon Sect. They have naughty personalities, like six children. They like to use their internal energy to dismember people and even do not take Ren Yingying seriously.

When they went to Qingcheng Mountain to celebrate Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying's marriage, they caused a lot of trouble because of their willfulness.

However, due to Chu Yuan's reputation, the Six Immortals of Taogu were somewhat wary of Chu Yuan, so they did not dare to act recklessly in front of him.

"The Sword Immortal is here."

Seeing Chu Yuan, the Six Immortals of Taogu looked a little depressed, and then surrounded him together.

"We see that this kid is seriously ill, so we are using our internal energy to help him heal his injuries!"

"Who knew that this kid was so untreatable that his injuries became even more serious."

"That's right, that's right. If we hadn't taken action, he might have died!"

"They don't know how to be kind, and they blame us..."

The Six Immortals of Taogu spoke in unison.

The result was a burst of angry glares from everyone in the yard.

Chu Yuan was a little confused and only understood the general idea.

"Master Chu, we followed the instructions of Master Chu and Miss Ren and took Brother Linghu to the Kaifeng Prefecture's divine doctor Ping Yizhi for treatment. However, Ping Yizhi was not there at the time. These six guys said they could treat Brother Linghu's injuries."

"Brother Linghu was seriously injured at the time, so we had no choice but to trust them. As a result, they used their own internal energy, not only did they fail to heal Brother Linghu's injuries, but they also caused Brother Linghu to suffer even more serious internal injuries."

"After that, after the divine doctor Ping Yizhi came back, he felt that this incident happened at his residence and that he was also responsible, so he didn't make things difficult for us. He cured Brother Linghu's external injuries, but he couldn't cure Brother Linghu's internal injuries."

"Then Ping Yizhi, the divine doctor, said that if you want to cure Brother Linghu's internal injuries, you have to learn the Shaolin Temple's Yi Jin Jing."

"And Madam Yue said that Brother Linghu could learn the Shaolin Temple's Yi Jin Jing, so we came to the Shaolin Temple."

Seeing that the Six Immortals of Taogu were not speaking clearly and were extremely biased, the little nun Yi Lin explained to Chu Yuan because she was afraid that Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying would misunderstand.

"That's it, I understand!"

Chu Yuan nodded.

"They are just like that. They are not bad people, but they have the temperament of naughty children. They always mean well but do bad things."

Ren Yingying said.

"Master Chu..."

Taoist Tianmen, Mr. Mo Da, Master Dingxian, Master Dingyi, Master Dingjing and others, seeing that Chu Yuan had also come to Shaolin Temple, all bowed and greeted Chu Yuan.

"Mrs. Yue, long time no see!"

Chu Yuan responded one by one, but Ning Zhongze had a cold face. She saw that Chu Yuan had a complicated expression. Chu Yuan didn't care about these things at all. He smiled and greeted Ning Zhongze.

"It's been a long time!"

Ning Zhongze couldn't help but respond, so he could only say one sentence.

"Where is Sect Leader Yue?"

Chu Yuan asked Ning Zhongze.

He glanced around the yard but didn't see Yue Buqun.

Ning Zhongze didn't say anything, but just looked at Chu Yuan coldly.

Chu Yuan really keeps bringing up things that are not relevant to the topic. Doesn't Chu Yuan have any idea why her senior brother is not here?

"Ahem, Taoist Priest Chu, ever since Sect Leader Yue returned to Huashan and arranged for Miss Yue and Young Hero Linghu to get married, he has been living in a cave on Huashan's Cliff of Repentance. He said that he plans to live in seclusion in the back mountains and not care about worldly affairs. He has not left the mountain yet."

At this time, Taoist Tianmen coughed.

After Yue Buqun had his tendons cut by Chu Yuan, he no longer had the strength to threaten them. Originally, except for the three sects of Songshan Sect, they were planning to break away from the Five Mountains Sect again and restore the Hengshan, Hengshan, Taishan and other sects.

Who would have known that the Five Mountains Sect would produce an upright and honest Linghu Chong, who, at his master's wedding with Yue Lingshan, asked for forgiveness from everyone on behalf of his master, and even stabbed himself three times, putting his life in danger.

It was not a good idea for them to say that they wanted to leave the Five Mountains Sect at this time, and they even took the trouble to find a way to cure Linghu Chong.

Who made them upright?

In their opinion, everything that happened before was done by Yue Buqun and had nothing to do with Linghu Chong.

"I see!"

Chu Yuan nodded.

However, he felt that given Yue Buqun's ambition, he might not stop even if he cut the tendons of his right hand.

Even though the tendons in my right hand are broken, I can still practice swordsmanship with my left hand. I shouldn't be completely disheartened.

Yue Buqun said this, I wonder if he is hiding behind the scenes and planning something!
However, with his current martial arts skills, Chu Yuan doesn't have to worry at all even if Yue Buqun is planning something.

"Abbot, what's the situation inside now?"

Chu Yuan asked Master Fang Zheng.

"My Shaolin Temple and the Five Mountains Sect once had an agreement that the Yi Jin Jing could be passed on to a disciple of the Five Mountains Sect. Young Master Linghu is chivalrous and kind-hearted. Our entire Shaolin Temple agrees to pass the Yi Jin Jing on to him. Now Young Master Linghu is practicing the Yi Jin Jing in there, and Miss Yue is accompanying him to take care of him."

"But the Yi Jin Jing is precious, and others cannot watch it. They can only wait outside!"

Master Fang Zheng said.

"The abbot said there is only one copy of the Yi Jin Jing. It looks like we can't get in. We can only wait."

Chu Yuan said to Master Fang Zheng.

"Master Chu, please stay in Shaolin Temple for a few days."

Master Fang Zheng nodded.

In fact, there is certainly more than one copy of the Yi Jin Jing in the Shaolin Temple, but the original one was written in Sanskrit.

The only book translated by the monks in the temple and suitable for direct practice is Linghu Chong's.

However, when others heard the conversation between Chu Yuan and Master Fang Zheng, they were not surprised.

Because when Shaolin, Wudang and the Five Mountains sects besieged the Qingcheng sect that day, many people were present and knew that Shaolin Temple had lost the "Yi Jin Jing" to Chu Yuan, and Chu Yuan came to Shaolin Temple to take the "Yi Jin Jing".

"Sorry for bothering you."

Chu Yuan clasped his fists.

"Don't bother me."

"The old monk sent someone to arrange accommodation for Young Master Chu and Miss Ren. They will stay in Shaolin Temple for a few days. The old monk wrote a letter to Master Chongxu, inviting him to come to Shaolin Temple to discuss matters. This matter is of great importance and needs to be discussed together."

Then Master Fang Zheng said.

"It all depends on the Master's intention."

Chu Yuan said.

He just gave Fang Zheng some information about what he was going to do.

How to deal with it depends entirely on Shaolin and Wudang.

Even if they are unwilling to participate, it will not have any major impact on Chu Yuan's plan.

Master Fang Zheng left.

Before Master Fang Zheng left, he ordered someone to arrange a house for Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying to live in.

In a flash, five days passed.

During these five days, Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying stayed in Shaolin Temple, practicing the "Yin Yang Huan Yang Gong" at night and going to Songshan Mountain for fun during the day.

After all, it was not a place they were familiar with, so the two of them restrained themselves a lot when practicing dual cultivation at night.

Although both of them are not fond of Buddhism, Mount Song is known as the Central Mountain and the scenery on the mountain is quite nice.

However, no matter where Chu Yuan went, he was always followed by six old monks with beards as white as snow, which made Chu Yuan look very impressive in Shaolin Temple.

this day.

Someone knocked on the door outside Chu Yuan's room.
Ren Yingying was playing the piano in the house, and melodious music came from the room. Chu Yuan opened the door and saw a young monk in his twenties wearing a gray monk's robe standing outside.

"Master Chu, Miss Ren, the abbot invites you..."

The young monk said to Chu Yuan who was standing at the door.

"Did your abbot tell me what it was?"

Chu Yuan asked the young monk.

"The abbot said that Taoist Chongxu has arrived. Please go over to discuss important matters."

The young monk said.

"Lead the way!"

Chu Yuan nodded.

Chu Yuan and Ren Yingying followed the young monk out, and soon they arrived at the quiet room next to the main hall where they had briefly stayed when they first arrived.
