Chapter 41: Each Has His Own Agenda

Ling Fei was secretly surprised when he heard this, and his understanding of Xu Jiankong deepened: This Shushan disciple is not a fool who only knows how to practice! Seeing him act in an upright manner, I didn't expect him to be so scheming. Thinking of this, Ling Fei's admiration for Xu Jiankong turned into contempt, and he cursed in his heart: He established a relationship so quickly, and he is indeed the same kind of people as Xiang Hui's disciples. Yes, your Shushan has a relationship with overseas cultivators, and many overseas fellows were invited to the three sword fights in Emei, but that is all old things, if not a thousand, at least eight hundred years ago. These old things are used to establish a relationship. It is simply... If you say so, all the Taoist sects in the world come from the Chan and Jie sects, and count them, those cultivators are still disciples of our Kunlun.

Zhou Qing opened his mouth and said something half true and half false: "So you are a disciple of Shushan! The name of Shushan is also well-known in our overseas! Who doesn't know that the long-browed ancestor was so powerful in the world! I am a disciple of the overseas Tiandao Sect. Our Tiandao Sect has been secluded overseas since the pre-Qin period and has not been concerned with worldly affairs, but we also know the name of Shushan."

Zhou Qing flattered him, but thought in his heart: Why do I have such a connection with Shushan? The old ghost Ling Yun was killed by a Shushan disciple before. He killed people and stole swords, and he was also a Shushan disciple. He also attacked me in the Monster Alliance, and now he is a Shushan disciple. Is Shushan fighting with me? Anyway, you haven't seen my true face clearly. No matter how I brag, in the pre-Qin period, Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, Mohism and other schools of thought contended, and the sects were extremely chaotic. Who knew if there was a Tiandao Sect? The sect I created has been promoted. Hehe! I didn't expect that I would become a master of the sect.

Zhou Qing did not say that he was the sect master, so naturally he would make people feel that he was unfathomable.

Ling Fei frowned when he heard this, not because he doubted Zhou Qing's words, but because he felt uncomfortable with Zhou Qing's praise of Shushan. After all, his own Kunlun was the largest sect! As long as they were not cultivators who had truly cut off the seven emotions and six desires, they would attach great importance to the reputation of their own sect.

Xu Jiankong was naturally very happy to hear Zhou Qing say this, "So you are a disciple of Tiandao Sect! Tiandao Sect has profound Taoism, and I have heard the elders of the sect mention it many times. But I didn't expect that there is such a person as Zhou Daoyou, which really makes us disciples feel ashamed!" Xu Jiankong had no idea that Tiandao Sect was just founded by Zhou Qing himself, and thought that there was really such a sect, so he just copied it and flattered it. In fact, unless the Shushan elders are gods who can know the past and future, they don't know about the Tiandao Sect. But it's hard to say "I don't know your sect, I'm afraid it's declining and not well-known!", so they just talk nonsense. But Zhou Qing almost laughed his belly off.

"This Xu Jiankong looks righteous on the surface, but he is extremely shameless!" Ling Fei watched the two of them flattering each other, and they were just about to call each other brothers. He was very anxious, and regardless of being abrupt, he stepped forward and said, "So you are Master Zhou from the Tiandao Sect. I am Lingfei from Kunlun. I have heard from my master that the Tiandao Sect has been prosperous since the pre-Qin period. Unfortunately, they are all peerless masters who are indifferent to fame and fortune. They do not like disputes and have fled overseas. Otherwise, their reputation would not be inferior to our Kunlun now." Lingfei said this neither humbly nor arrogantly, with a double meaning. He not only pointed out the status of Kunlun, but also indirectly flattered Zhou Qing, which was much smarter than Xu Jiankong.

In fact, Lingfei has his own ideas. This time, he was removed from the position of leader of the Dragon Group. It was unfair, but such a big thing happened, and he was also guilty. But he was still a member of the Dragon Group. As long as he found out the truth of this matter, he would have a reason to resume his position. Xiang Hui was domineering and must have made many mistakes. If he made a small mistake, his family members would talk to the higher-ups and make some moves, and the position of leader would still be his.

But it is not easy to find out the truth. Ling Fei heard that the other party was a master of the magic way, extremely cruel and powerful. Even the old Taoist Chen Kong, who had long entered the state of transformation, was killed on the spot. He was definitely not able to deal with him. However, the attitude of the master was a bit strange and abnormal. Not only did he not come out of the mountain, but he seemed to be in seclusion to comprehend some Taoism. There were not enough people. If he could win over the master in front of him, and ask his sister to ask the eldest brother for help, with two masters of the transformation stage plus himself, the hope of success would be much greater. Because the masters of the magic way are generally lonely and arrogant, they are alone and rarely get together. Three people against one person, the chance of winning is quite high. If Zhou Qing knew his idea, he would laugh to death. This is purely inviting a wolf into the house!

Xu Jiankong also had a plan. In modern society, the form is extremely subtle. The cultivation civilization has long been in decline and has withdrawn from the mainstream of the times. New civilizations and concepts are emerging in an endless stream. Whether it is local or from the West, the thoughts of the older generation of cultivators seem outdated. They all returned to the mountain to practice in seclusion. Unless there were special circumstances, they would not leave the mountain. All worldly affairs were left to the young disciples. It can be said that the younger generation of disciples are the pillars of the major sects, and the masters of the older generation are just nuclear weapons, which serve as a deterrent.

Xu Jiankong grew up in Shushan since he was a child, so he naturally put the interests of Shushan first. As the leader of the new generation of Shushan disciples, the eldest brother. Xu Jiankong looked at the entire Chinese Taoist sect. Among the younger generation of disciples, only Kunlun was able to suppress Shushan, because Kunlun's Yiyunzi had entered the stage of transformation! Although there were many disciples in Shushan, most of them were still in the middle stage of Qi Induction. Although Xiang Hui was not bad, he was scheming, but his cultivation was a little worse. Now that he was the leader of the Dragon Group, he had to deal with more things, people, and monsters. Although there were hundreds of disciples in the Dragon Group, on average, there were only a dozen Shushan disciples. Disciples from other sects had their own ulterior motives, waiting for Shushan to be unlucky. When performing tasks, it was already very good not to drag them down. How could they help wholeheartedly?

With a low level of cultivation, it is definitely not possible to carry out missions and deal with powerful monsters. If you are not careful, you will damage the reputation of Shushan. This is a serious matter. This is also the reason why Xu Jiankong wants to win over Zhou Qing. With Zhou Qing, a master of the Spiritualization Stage, things will go much more smoothly.

Besides, Zhou Qing is an overseas casual cultivator, and it is vaguely beneficial to have such a relationship.

For a while, the three of them had their own calculations. Zhou Qing had no idea that he became a hot commodity in the mouths of the two major sects as soon as he showed up.
