"Patriarch, as long as you agree to my request, I'll kill him with my own hands! From tomorrow onwards, I'll give up my position as the Peak Master of Command Talisman Peak and hand over all the special books of Command Talisman Peak! "He Wanshan's words shocked everyone.
Upon hearing this, all the Peak Leaders and Elders of True Gang Sect, including Sect Leader Chu Fangyue, were shocked. The bait that He Wanshan threw out was really heavy.
In recent decades, the He Family of Command Talisman Peak had been in constant internal strife within True Gang Sect. This had always been a pain in the hearts of many knowledgeable people in True Gang Sect. However, if they were to forcefully eliminate the He Family of Command Talisman Peak, even if they succeeded, they would suffer heavy losses.
Most importantly, Command Talisman Peak, one of the four peaks and one hall of True Gang Sect, would never recover from this setback. They might even lose their inheritance. Over the years, the elites of Command Talisman Peak had all come from the He Family. Moreover, more than half of the precious books about talismans had been taken by He Wanshan. Eliminating the He Family was equivalent to cutting off one of True Gang Sect's arms.
But now, He Wanshan proposed to give up his position as the Peak Master of Command Talisman Peak and hand over all the special books. It could be said that this was a disguised compromise by the He Family, which was almost equivalent to leaving True Gang Sect.
The He Family would leave True Gang Sect without any casualties, and the precious books would be kept. Even though True Gang Sect's strength would be damaged in a short period of time, Command Talisman Peak would rise again in a dozen years.
After hearing He Wanshan's proposal, Chu Fangyue would have agreed to He Wanshan's condition without hesitation if it weren't for the various strange things about Ling Dong that flashed through his mind and Patriarch Stargazer was present.
The death of one person in exchange for the unity and complete control of the entire sect. There was simply no room for consideration for such a good thing.
Chu Fangyue's eyes kept moving between Ling Dong, He Wanshan, and Patriarch Stargazer. All kinds of conflicting thoughts arose in his mind. He hoped that Patriarch Stargazer would refuse, but he also hoped that Patriarch Stargazer would agree!
"Patriarch, He Wanshan is extremely cunning. You can't agree to this! Moreover, He Zhaixing died in a normal internal sect competition. He should die with no regrets. If this is allowed to happen, the future generations of True Gang Sect will only be trapped in a feud and there will never be peace! " Just when the other Peak Masters and Sect Master Chu Fangyue had the same idea, Bai Zhen Peak Master Zhang Bingzheng spoke out righteously again.
"Ancestral Master, Geng Yanlie agrees!" Elder Geng Yanlie of the Fire Core Peak, who was dressed in a dark red robe, also suddenly stepped forward. "Ancestor, in these years, there have been at least six or seven inner disciples who have died in the hands of the disciples of the Commandeering Talisman Peak, but no one has gone to seek revenge. This example must not be opened!"
Ancestor Stargazer, who was standing at a low altitude with He Wanshan, did not say a word. He seemed to be thinking about something.
Hearing the righteous words of Zhang Bingzheng and Geng Yanlie, Ling Dong could only give them a grateful glance. His mind was quickly calculating the possible future direction of this matter.
Ling Dong was clear that there were only two factors that could affect the direction of this matter. One was his value in Ancestor Stargazer's heart, and the other was the weight of He Wanshan's conditions.
As for friendship, Ling Dong did not believe that it would appear in Ancestor Stargazer, a talented monster who had lived for hundreds of years. In the heart of an old monster like Ancestor Stargazer who was in power, there was nothing but interest.
Ling Dong believed that if He Wanshan's conditions were greater than Ling Dong's value, Ancestor Stargazer would accept He Wanshan's proposal without hesitation.
However, Ling Dong thought that with the cultivation of Gang Spirit Realm, Ancestor Stargazer should be afraid of He Wanshan and not dare to deal with him by force.
"Junior Brother Ling, don't worry. Ancestral Master will definitely refuse him!" At this time, the beautiful master Qiu Qingyi walked lightly behind Ling Dong and said in a very positive tone. She also gave Ling Dong a comforting smile very affectionately.
However, this scene was seen by Ancestor Stargazer in the low sky. Seeing Ling Dong and Qiu Qingyi standing together, Ancestor Stargazer thought for a while and then shook his head very solemnly. "Wanshan, don't make trouble. Zhaixing died in the competition of the sect. You know the rules. Go down and clean up his funeral."
"Clean up his funeral … Funeral? There are only bones left … Is there any funeral? " He Wanshan laughed sadly and suddenly said, "Ancestor, let me kill this monster with my own hands. I will take a group of people and leave the True Gang Sect completely, leaving all the Talisman Classics and not taking any grass or wood of the True Gang Sect. Besides, I will swear that I will never step into the True Dragon Mountain and never be an enemy of the True Gang Sect! What do you think? "
When he said this, He Wanshan turned his blood-red eyes and stared fiercely at Ling Dong. A terrifying murderous aura came from him and shocked Qiu Qingyi, who was guarding beside Ling Dong, so much so that she cried out in a low voice.
However, Ling Dong was not moved at all. This kind of murderous aura was really child's play.
What shocked Ling Dong was that He Wanshan kept increasing the price. If He Wanshan kept increasing the conditions, he might reach the bottom line in Ancestor Stargazer's heart and then give up on him.
If Ancestor Stargazer gave up on him, Ling Dong really could not think of a way out with the disciples of the Talisman Control Peak eyeing him covetously and He Wanshan beside him with a saber. Ling Dong really could not think of a way out for him.
Therefore, the moment He Wanshan said this, when Ancestor Stargazer and the others were either thinking or shocked, Ling Dong quickly picked up the Greedy Wolf Black Sword and shouted, "He Wanshan, don't make things difficult for the Ancestor and the Sect Leader. If you have the guts, come and fight with Ling Ling for three hundred rounds!"
After that, Ling Dong waved the Thunder Attracting Sword. When the Thunder Attracting Sword made a slight sound of rolling thunder, Ling Dong pointed the sword at He Wanshan and said, "Ling Ling's head is here. If you have the guts, come and get it!"
Ling Dong's words were like rolling thunder, striking the nearby Inner Sect Disciples and Elders to the point where they were dizzy.
Some were shocked, some were cynical, some scolded Ling Dong for being whimsical, and some praised Ling Dong's heroic spirit. However, most of them were surprised.
The one who reacted the quickest was He Wanshan.
Upon hearing Ling Dong's clamor, He Wanshan was overjoyed. He pointed his finger at Ling Dong and said, "Little brat, you're courting death! Come, I'll fight with you for three hundred rounds! " While speaking, He Wanshan's body was covered with a green energy, and he was about to throw himself at Ling Dong. But, at the moment when he was about to make a move, a tremendous and terrifying aura, like the ocean and the sky, forcefully stopped him from throwing himself at Ling Dong.
"Wanshan, how can you believe the words of a little kid? Get down there now and stop the entanglement. It's not too late! "Ancestor Stargazer flicked his sleeve and said.
But, He Wanshan was infuriated by Ancestor Stargazer's behavior. "Ancestor, you can't do this, and you can't do anything. Don't force me to fight with you just for a little inner disciple?"
While shouting furiously, He Wanshan subconsciously raised the pale-yellow jade talisman in his hand, which made Ancestor Stargazer retreat.
"I'm not forcing you, but I can't! Wanshan, I'll say the same thing again. It's not too late to turn back now! "Ancestor Stargazer stood in front of He Wanshan and did not back down.
"Ancestor, is this kid really so valuable?" He Wanshan was so angry that he laughed. "In that case, my previous …"
"Ancestor, please allow me to fight with this audacious madman! I'll end all of this with the blood of this madman who has damaged the authority of the Sect Leader, caused headaches to the Ancestor, and brought shame to the True Gang Sect! "Ling Dong's loud shout rudely interrupted He Wanshan's addition of another bet.
Almost as soon as Ling Dong said this, Ling Dong saw Ancestor Stargazer flicking his sleeve, as if he wanted to refuse.
Noticing this situation, Ling Dong's expression changed. He hastily placed his sword across his neck and shouted, "Disciple Ling Dong has damaged the authority of the Sect Leader and allowed this madman to threaten the Ancestor. This is unfilial. If the Ancestor doesn't agree to my request to fight with this madman, I'll kill myself here to solve the Sect Leader's problem!"
If Ling Dong's previous request to fight with He Wanshan was considered to be a show, then Ling Dong's action had shocked everyone present.
This was because they had never seen such a fool before!
Seeing Ling Dong placing his sword across his neck, Zhang Bingzheng and Peak Master Zhang, who originally wanted to stop him, wisely shut their mouths.
"Dong Er, we all know about your filial piety. Don't be reckless!" Ancestor Stargazer softly shouted with a complicated expression. His gaze was extremely complicated as he looked at Ling Dong.
"No, I hope that the Ancestor will agree. Otherwise, I'd rather shed blood than make things difficult for the Sect Leader and Master!" At this moment, Ling Dong pointed out the master-disciple relationship between him and Ancestor Stargazer.
"You …" When Ancestor Stargazer was so angry that he was at a loss for words, Ling Dong, He Wanshan laughed. "Alright. Although you, Ling Dong, are stupid, you can still be considered as a person. Ancestor, look. He has always asked for this. How can I not give him this chance?"
Although He Wanshan said this, he did not move. This was because Ancestor Stargazer had yet to give way to him. Ancestor Stargazer was still considering this matter.
At this moment, Ancestor Stargazer was even a little angry.
He was angry because of Ling Dong. One He Wanshan was enough to give him a headache. He did not expect Ling Dong to come out and add to the trouble. How could he not be angry? Ancestor Stargazer even used Secret Sound Transmission to scold Ling Dong. "Idiot! You're usually quite clever. Why are you so stupid today? Why aren't you leaving? I'll handle this matter myself! "
In fact, most of the people present were scolding Ling Dong for being stupid at this moment.
However, in reality, only Ling Dong knew that the battle with He Wanshan might be his only chance to survive today. It might also be the most suitable way out.
It was still the same sentence. Ling Dong's life and death was just a game of interests between the value of Ling Dong in Ancestor Stargazer's heart and the conditions that He Wanshan offered.
Ling Dong did not like the feeling of his life and death being controlled by others. Ling Dong did not dare to be confident that no matter what conditions He Wanshan offered, Ling Dong's value in Ancestor Stargazer's heart would not surpass that of Ling Dong's.
If Ling Dong's value really reached this level, Ancestor Stargazer would protect Ling Dong to the death. This would cause the He family of Commandeering Talisman Peak to fight to the death with the True Gang Sect. Then, both sides would suffer and the True Gang Sect's strength would be greatly damaged. This was not a situation that Ling Dong was willing to see.
This was because in Ling Dong's heart, if everything went smoothly, the True Gang Sect would be under Ling Dong's control.
Hearing Ancestor Stargazer's scolding, Ling Dong's heart moved slightly. He was a little surprised. It seemed that his value in Ancestor Stargazer's heart was still quite high.
However, Ling Dong still did not change his thoughts and original intentions. Instead, he became more serious.
After a few breaths of time, Ancestor Stargazer's words suddenly came from the silent True Dragon Palace. "Alright! This old man approves. Ling Dong, if you want to fight, then fight He Wanshan! "
