The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

The Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master was once a leading figure in the Xuanmen Taoist sect. Although the Heavenly Master's Mansion has declined in the past hundred years and cannot be compared with its heyday a thousand years ago, it still has a respected status in the Taoist sects all over the world, and the Heavenly Master has a very high prestige.

As soon as someone mentioned the name of Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, everyone turned around to look.

There were probably more than a dozen sect leaders and elders gathered in the center of the venue, most of whom were acquaintances.

The largest sect here is Tianxiang Mountain, which has been developing rapidly in recent years. Its leader Wan Botao is said to have mastered the Tianxiang magic skill to the twelfth level, surpassing the previous generations of leaders.

But in terms of fame, Tianxiang Mountain is not as famous as Shenxiao Sect. Shenxiao Sect is also a Zhengyi Sect, specializing in thunder magic. Its Purple Thunder Divine Thunder has been cultivated to the extreme, and it is said to be more powerful than the Five Thunders Orthodox Method of Tianshi Mansion. When its founder Lin Lingsu was in power, his cultivation was high and respected by the world. Shenxiao Sect also had the capital to compete with the Three Mountains of Talismans.

This time, the two factions were led by their respective leaders Wan Botao and Zhuo Banan.

As the two strongest sect leaders on the field, Wan Botao and Zhuo Banan naturally stood in the center of the field. The two stood about two meters apart, keeping a certain distance. The others stood behind them, including the elders they brought with them, and some small sects that supported them, forming two forces that seemed to be harmonious but were actually in confrontation.

In addition to these two forces, there was another group of people gathered in a circle in another direction. They were obviously dissatisfied with them or did not want to get involved in the fight between them, and naturally formed a third force.

The core figures of this force are Miao Fanzhu from Hefeng Hall, Liao Chengze from Longshe Valley, etc., who are also quite famous in the Xuanmen.

In addition, Qiu Boyu and Lao Haoqiang, who had just escaped from the Yinbing formation, were saying something in front of Wan Botao and Zhuo Banan, and seemed to be trying hard to persuade them.

The appearance of Zhang Xikun and Zhang Daoyuan broke the atmosphere on the scene. When people heard that the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain had arrived, they all turned around to look.

Zhang Xikun kept nodding and greeting people he knew.

Wan Botao and Zhuo Banan came forward with smiles on their faces, but in Zhang Daoyuan's opinion, their smiles were not sincere.

In fact, Zhang Daoyuan had already guessed the situation from the dispute between the two disciples at the valley entrance. Wan Botao and Zhuo Banan were probably competing for the leadership here. After all, Tianxiang Mountain and Shenxiao Sect were the largest and strongest sects here, and the two of them were also the most prestigious among all the people here.

But now it’s different. The appearance of Zhang Xikun has broken this balance. The name of Longhu Mountain’s Heavenly Master is much more famous than the two of them.

"Hahahaha, Tianshi Zhang is here! They say that Longhu Mountain has passed down the Zhengyi Order, not allowing the Zhengyi Taoists to leave the house. I said it was fake. How could Tianshi Mansion not respect the order from Tiandu? Rumors stop at the wise," Wan Botao laughed, acting like he was a wise man. "Look, Tianshi Zhang is here in person!"

"Yes, yes, there must be some evil people behind this, trying to ruin the reputation of Zhang Tianshi and the Tianshi Mansion." Zhuo Banan also said with a smile.

The Shenxiao Sect also belongs to the Zhengyi Sect, so Zhuo Banan actually received the order from the Heavenly Master. At that time, he was also very hesitant whether to come out. After thinking for a long time, he finally felt that this was a good opportunity. If he could perform well in this Kunlun crisis and receive rewards from Tiandu, he would be able to soar to the sky and reproduce the style of the founder when he was here. So he brought the elite members of the sect out.

He also didn't expect Zhang Xikun to appear in Kunlun, and wondered in his heart, could it be that the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master's Order was fake?

The leaders and elders of other sects also came over to say hello.

Miao Fanzhu of Hefeng Hall said: "Now that Zhang Tianshi is here, it will be easy to deal with. There is no need for Sect Leader Wan and Sect Leader Zhuo to fight."

Wan Botao and Zhuo Banan both looked unhappy, and their smiles looked like they were painted with cheap paint.

“Haha, Hall Master Miao is right. Now that the Heavenly Master is here, we don’t need to fight anymore.” Wan Botao said and glanced at Zhuo Banan.

Zhuo Banan also said: "Master Wan is right. Our Shenxiao Sect respects the orders of the Three Mountains and we should follow the lead of the Heavenly Master."

Zhang Xikun was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

Liao Chengze of Dragon Snake Valley laughed and said, "Master, you don't know that before you came, we were leaderless. There were so many people but no one to take charge. We were just a pile of loose sand. Look, Sect Leader Wan and Sect Leader Zhuo are arguing over who will be the leader!"

Liao Chengze's tone was clearly filled with sarcasm.

Qiu Boyu, who had just escaped from the Yinbing formation, looked at Lao Haoqiang.

They originally wanted to compete to be the leader, but the Tianxiang Mountain and Shenxiao Sect were too strong, and they had lost their fellow disciples, so they were not strong enough, so they naturally could not compete with Wan Botao and Zhuo Banan.

However, the two of them soon came up with an idea and reached a consensus. After all, they were the only ones who knew the weaknesses of the Yin Army Formation, so no matter who was the leader, they had to listen to them. In the end, when it came to the credit, they would naturally be the first.

Seeing Lao Haoqiang lowering his head in deep thought, Qiu Boyu stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Since the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master is here, he will naturally be our leader. I, Qiu Boyu, am the first to agree. There are now 100,000 Yin soldiers on the mountain, with a strict formation and layers of guards. They occupy a favorable terrain and are easy to defend but difficult to attack. If we attack rashly, we will inevitably suffer heavy losses. Sect Leader Lao and I, as well as Sect Leader Min of Xinghai Sect and Temple Leader Qu of Chiyun Temple, have already fought in the Yin soldier formation once, but it's a pity that only Sect Leader Lao and I broke out. Now we have mastered all the weaknesses of the formation. Please ask the Heavenly Master to reorganize the troops as soon as possible to prevent the other side from changing the formation. If the Heavenly Master trusts us, we will lead the charge and the Heavenly Master can hold the line from behind."

As he spoke, he pulled Lao Haoqiang, meaning for him to stand up and speak quickly.

The reason why Lao Haoqiang was in deep thought was that he had met Zhang Xikun and Zhang Daoyuan, and he felt something was wrong at the time.

After being pulled by Qiu Boyu, he came to his senses and clasped his fists towards Zhang Xikun: "Master, we meet again. May I ask how many troops did Longhu Mountain bring this time?"

Zhang Xikun said, "I didn't bring any men with me. It's just me and Brother Daoyuan."

There was a burst of booing at the scene.

I thought that since the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master had arrived, there would be a large group of people following him. After all, the Zhengyi Taoists were spread all over the world, and in addition to the Three Mountains Talismans, they also had many branches.

I didn't expect that only two people came.

"Master, you are not kidding, right?" asked Wan Botao, the head of Tianxiang Mountain.

"I'm not kidding." said Zhang Xikun.

"Master, I am not arrogant. In terms of sect strength, Tianxiang Mountain is not much worse than Longhu Mountain. It's just that the Tianshi Mansion commands the Zhengyi people in the world, and has a large number of people, so I will naturally retreat. But how can the Tianshi come alone to convince the crowd? There are more than a hundred people from my Tianxiang Mountain!"

Wan Botao's meaning was very clear, he was more qualified to be the boss.

"Yes, yes. Not a single disciple from Mount Longhu came, and we had to lead the charge. This is unreasonable!"

"It's too unkind of the Tianshi Mansion to do this. How can we convince the public?"

Everyone started talking at once.

Zhang Xikun clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, please listen to me. I am not here to be your leader, nor am I here to lead you to charge and kill the enemy. On the contrary, I am here to dissuade you from going to Kunlun and return home quickly!"
