"What do you mean? Wasn't it clear enough? I said you're all despicable people, isn't that clear enough?"
Chapter 297: People from Songshan Sent
"Tian Song!"
Immediately, someone stared coldly at Daoist Tiansong.
Daoist Tiansong glared back defiantly.
"Putting on airs and acting like a big shot because of your age, who do you think you are? You expect others, especially the younger generation, to respect you? What makes you worthy of respect?"
Tian Song Daoist was even more aggressive than Tian Qi and the others had been, pointing his finger at them and cursing.
"As elders, how can you put on airs, act sarcastic and mocking towards your juniors? Do you have any semblance of elders? Do you have any elder's virtues? Look at the kind of disciples you've raised!"
"You bunch of weasel-faced, pointy-mouthed fools, and you still complain about how the Sect Leader of Shangyue has failed in his teaching? At least others know that the ancestral legacy must not be forgotten and are determined to protect it with their lives. Unlike the disciples you've taught, who are all ungrateful and forgetful of their ancestors, it's truly a case of the upper beam being crooked and the lower beam being crooked."
Tian Song Dao Ren is very aggressive; if he's not satisfied with just verbal abuse, he'll resort to group mockery.
Swish swish.
Upon hearing this, the Taishan disciples, all dressed in mourning clothes, stood up in unison and glared angrily at Daoist Tiansong.
The Taishan disciples on Tiansong Daoren's side were not to be outdone, and they all stood up and stared coldly at the other side, instantly lowering the atmosphere to freezing point.
"Heavenly Gate".
At this moment, a Taoist priest looked coldly at the Heavenly Gate, his voice icy.
"Is the Mount Tai Sect no longer willing to tolerate us?"
"Ah."
Before Tianmen could speak, Daoist Tiansong sneered, "Our Mount Tai Sect is too small to accommodate such great gods as you. Since you don't want to stay in Mount Tai anymore, go to the Songshan Sect and find your Left Alliance Leader."
"Tian Song!"
At this moment, Tianmen Daoist shouted, and Tiansong Daoist shut up.
Tianmen Daoist looked at the person speaking opposite him and said, "Tianxin, I have already said it. Zuo Lengchan is a wolf in sheep's clothing. You have been deceived by him. His talk of merging the sects seems to be for the benefit of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, but it is actually to satisfy his ambition and to swallow us up to complete his hegemony. Why don't you understand?"
"Enough, Tianmen!"
Tianqi looked at Tianmen Daoist with annoyance: "Leader Zuo has devoted himself to strengthening the Five Mountains Sword Sect, but you call it ambition. What ambition does he have? Even if he does have ambition, it's for the Five Mountains Sword Sect. At least he's better than some people."
Tianmen Daoist's face turned angry, and another Daoist, Tianyi, stood up.
"Since you think the Songshan Sect and Zuo Lengchan are good, then go to Songshan! Why are you still lingering in the Taishan Sect?"
Immediately, someone on the other side sneered.
"What? Mount Tai belongs to your lineage? We can't stay here? Don't forget, we're still members of the Mount Tai Sect!"
"Okay, let's go!"
Daoist Tianxin then spoke, and subsequently left the dining hall with his fellow disciples, and all of his disciples also departed.
"Humph."
Tiansong and Tianyi snorted coldly and then sat down.
"I'm sorry you had to see this."
Tianmen Daoist said something to Jiang Ning, his eyes full of annoyance.
"I understand that."
Jiang Ning was very understanding and said with a smile, "After all, my Huashan Sect has also had internal conflicts. Do you remember that Master once told me that my Huashan Sect was like this more than 20 years ago?"
Tianmen Daoist paused, looked at Jiang Ning, and found that Jiang Ning's expression was casual, as if he had just said something offhand.
He certainly knew about the sword qi dispute within the Huashan Sect, and he also knew that it was that internal strife that caused the Huashan Sect to decline for decades. Jiang Ning's initiative to bring up the scars of his own sect and connect them with the current situation of his Taishan Sect was not just a casual remark; it was a reminder to him.
However, the Taoist priest Tianmen was still somewhat hesitant.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Ning shook his head and stood up.
"Please enjoy your meal, Master Uncle."
After greeting Tianmen Daoist, Jiang Ning left the cafeteria. On his way back, several people suddenly appeared where he had passed, looking at Jiang Ning's disappearing figure with uncertain expressions.
"Tell me, what exactly is he here for?"
Daoist Tianqi frowned as he spoke.
"Could it be that Tianmen is about to attack us, thinking that their faction has no chance of winning, and has called Jiang Ning here?"
Tianyi looked at Tianxin beside him: "Senior brother, let's make our move. This kid didn't come to Mount Tai for no reason. He must have been instructed by Tianmen. We should strike first. If we don't make our move, we might end up like Master and the others."
The others also looked at Daoist Tianxin.
"wait a few more days."
Master Tianxin remained very calm.
The other junior disciples, thinking that Daoist Tianxin was still hesitating, all tried to persuade him.
"Senior brother, we can't hesitate any longer!"
"Make your move! If you don't act now, it will be too late once Tianmen and the others do!"
"It doesn't matter if we die, but what about our disciples?"
Daoist Tianxin reached out and stopped his fellow disciples from speaking, saying, "Don't be in a hurry, wait a few more days."
"Can't wait any longer!"
Daoist Tianqi said urgently, "Didn't you see how Tiansong and the others are treating us? Senior brother, don't forget how Master and Uncle died!"
Daoist Tianxin shouted sternly, "Enough!"
Tianqi was stunned.
Daoist Tianxin looked at his fellow disciples and said, "I have already said to wait a few more days. Don't be impatient. I have my own plan. You will know when the time comes."
The others wanted to say something more, but after hearing what Daoist Tianxin said, they had no choice but to quiet down and leave one after another.
……
Jiang Ning stayed at the Taishan Sect for several more days, visiting nearby attractions. Nothing major happened during these days.
The situation within the Taishan Sect remained unchanged; the two sides were irreconcilable and showed no signs of abating. On the contrary, as time went by, the anger between the disciples on both sides grew stronger.
On several occasions, Jiang Ning witnessed several disciples of the Tianmen lineage nearly coming to blows with disciples of the Taishan lineage over a minor verbal dispute. Fortunately, the Tianmen Taoist arrived in time to prevent a fight from breaking out.
But tensions between the two sides are escalating.
"Senior brother, how much longer are we going to wait!"
Inside a room, Daoist Tianqi slammed his hand on the table and stood up, shouting at Daoist Tianxin.
"Look at what Tian Song and Tian Yi's disciples are doing! They almost got into a fight with our disciples. Do they still consider us fellow disciples?"
The others also complained.
In the past few days, their disciples have clashed with the Taishan disciples from Tianmen's side several times. The other side called them traitors, while their disciples said that Yu Jizi and the others were poisoned and killed by the Tianmen Taoist. The other side's disciples cursed that they deserved to die, and that traitors should die.
This wasn't the first time such a war of words had broken out, and both sides had accumulated a lot of resentment.
Tianqi Daoist is now urging Tianxin Daoist, but when they heard that Tianxin Daoist was telling them to wait, they couldn't sit still any longer.
"Don't rush, stay calm."
Daoist Tianxin remained calm and composed, continuing to reassure the group.
"Wait, wait, wait! What are we waiting for?!"
Another Taoist priest complained incessantly upon hearing this.
"I can't bear it anymore!"
Tianyi stood up, his face full of anger.
"The hatred for killing my master is irreconcilable; I swear I will not be a man if I do not avenge this!"
Tianyi looked at Tianxin Daoist: "Senior brother, you're still waiting? Then you can wait. I'm going to gather my disciples and fight Tianmen Tiansong and the others. Even if we can't win and die, so be it!"
"I am coming too!"
A Taoist priest stood up and echoed Tianyi's words.
"I'll go as well."
"I'll also go and have my disciples confront Tianmen!"
The others also stood up.
They simply couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer.
"Don't worry."
Seeing his fellow disciples so impatient, Daoist Tianxin wanted to persuade them, but Tianyi roared in anger.
"When Master died, you said there was no rush, and now you still say there's no rush. When are you going to get anxious?"
Tianyi was about to get up and leave when the others followed suit.
Tianxin Daoist could no longer appease them.
"you……"
Daoist Tianxin frowned as he watched his fellow disciples leave. Just as he was about to speak again, the door was suddenly opened.
"Master, Master, a letter has arrived."
A young Taoist priest walked in, holding a letter in his hand.
"Bring it here quickly."
Daoist Tianxin quickly took the letter, opened it, and flipped through it. His expression brightened with joy, and he called to his fellow disciples.
"Halt! A letter has arrived from the Songshan Sect!"
The group of people who were about to leave suddenly stopped and turned to look at Daoist Tianxin.
"Leader Zuo already knows about what's going on here and has sent people to help us. They'll be here in a few days."
Daoist Tianxin quickly informed everyone of the contents of the letter and handed it out.
The letter was passed among the people, and upon reading its contents, they all smiled with delight, exchanging glances, their eyes unable to conceal their joy.
"Wait a little longer, and we'll make our move once Alliance Leader Zuo's helpers arrive."
Tianxin Daoren said.
Tianqi, Tianyi, and the others were no longer as impatient as before, and they all nodded in agreement.
……
Jiang Ning stayed at the Taishan Sect for a few more days, but nothing major happened within the Taishan Sect.
In the past few days, Jiang Ning reminded Tianmen Daoist several times, but Tianmen still did not take any action. Jiang Ning did not plan to wait any longer. He still wanted to go to the Tianhe Gang's base to look for Ren Yingying's whereabouts.
The Taishan Sect is in a very dangerous situation, but Tianmen, as the sect leader, is delaying his actions, leaving him with no other option.
Jiang Ning picked up the sword on the table, preparing to leave and bid farewell to Daoist Xiangtianmen, but before he could even step out of the room, he heard hurried footsteps outside.
"Junior Brother Jiang Ning, Junior Brother Jiang Ning."
It is the sound of Dharma practice.
Jiang Ning opened the door and saw Fa Xing's anxious expression.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Jiang Ning immediately realized that something might be wrong.
"They've started pressuring Master Tianmen!"
Fa Xing hurriedly said, "The Songshan Sect has also sent people. They want to force Uncle Tianmen to commit suicide! Master told me to come and call you right away."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning asked directly, "Where are they?"
Fa Xing quickly replied, "It's in the main hall."
