Chapter 361: Single Party (Part )

"what?"

Liu Xunyi's words not only surprised Yin Baimei, but also made Deng Changchuan, Ling Qing and other disciples of the Xianwang Mansion terrified.

"Xun Yi, stop talking nonsense!"

Deng Changchuan kept winking at Liu Xunyi, signaling him to think twice before speaking, so as not to make things worse.

"Master Yin, everyone!" Liu Xunyi ignored everyone's reactions and said to himself, "Now that things have come to this, there is no need for me to hide anything. I will just speak out boldly and say whatever I want to say! If what I said offends you, I hope you will forgive me."

Yin Baimei showed curiosity and asked, "What is the selfish intention of the Northern Sage King?"

"On the Double Ninth Festival, the martial arts conference." Liu Xunyi replied solemnly, "The purpose of holding the martial arts conference is to re-elect the leader of the martial arts world. Looking at the martial arts world today, who is most likely to ascend to the throne of the leader? I believe everyone present knows it, and I will not be mysterious. In fact, the Northern Sage King has long wanted to compete for the leader, and has been secretly accumulating strength in order to make a breakthrough."

Liu Xunyi seemed to be frank and honest, revealing the secret. In fact, these have long been secrets in the martial arts world, and everyone knows them. Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu are undoubtedly the soul figures of this martial arts conference.

Although they had not announced it to the world, their thoughts had long been known to everyone. Therefore, everyone was baffled by Liu Xunyi's "bold and frank" words.

Yin Hefeng hesitated and said, "Since the martial arts conference has been convened, all heroes in the Central Plains can compete for the position of leader. It is normal for Lord Luo to have lofty ambitions, and it is not surprising."

"What Elder Yin said is absolutely right." Liu Xunyi nodded and said, "In the martial arts world, it is not only Lord Luo who has lofty ambitions, but others also have the ambition to be as great as Kunpeng. For example..." At this point, Liu Xunyi's sharp eyes suddenly turned to Jin Fuyu who was smiling but not saying anything, and said seriously, "Lord Jinwu is also capable of taking the position of leader."

"That's right!" Leng Kongyang continued, "Master Jinwu is both civil and military, highly respected, and is the best choice for the leader of the martial arts world!"

"Since it's a 'competition', everyone should show off their unique skills and compete at the martial arts conference." Liu Xunyi sneered at Leng Kongyang's flattery and continued, "Therefore, whether it is the Northern Sage King or the Golden Dock Master, or other heroes who are determined to compete for the leader of the martial arts world, they are now preparing for battle and gathering their strength, hoping to surpass the heroes and make a big splash at the martial arts conference."

"That's fine!" Yin Baimei asked impatiently, "What does this have to do with what happened today?"

"Of course it's related!" Liu Xunyi replied, "Now, the Central Plains martial arts world is divided into north and south with Qinhuai as the boundary. The six major sects that originally supported the Northern Sage King have now split into two. Qingcheng and Emei have successively abandoned the Sage King's Mansion and turned to be brothers with Jinjianwu. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Northern Sage King."

"Everyone has their own aspirations, how can we force them?" Leng Yiyi retorted, "Qingcheng and Emei are not vassals of the Xianwang Mansion, why should we hang ourselves on a tree? The world will eventually unite after a long period of division, and will eventually separate after a long period of unity. The grievances and grudges in the martial arts world are also a matter of coming and going, sometimes enemies, sometimes friends.
What's wrong with them changing their ways?"

"Well said!" Liu Xunyi suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "Just as 'Ice Heart Sword' said, everyone has their own aspirations and cannot be forced. Xianwang Mansion lost the support of Qingcheng and Emei, just like losing an arm, and its strength will certainly be greatly reduced. As one gains while the other loses, Jinjianwu is rising steadily and its strength is becoming stronger. Therefore, Lord Luo has learned from his mistakes and decided to preserve his strength to avoid making matters worse, so as not to suffer any more losses before the martial arts conference is held."

"You mean..." Yin Hefeng continued thoughtfully, "Palace Master Luo is obstructing our attack on Jueqing Valley because he is worried that Kunlun Sect will suffer a serious loss of vitality and indirectly undermine the strength of the Northern Sage King?"

"That's right!" Liu Xunyi admitted, "The Kunlun Sect is the pillar of the Central Plains martial arts world. If the Northern Sage King wants to compete with the Golden Dock Master for the position of leader, he still needs your sect's full support at the martial arts conference. If the Northern Sage King is seriously injured in Jiangzhou, it will undoubtedly be another heavy blow to the Northern Sage King."

"Then he is protecting Jueqing Valley..."

"It's just a misunderstanding, a coincidence!"

"This……"

"Master, this boy is good at speaking and flattering you. You must not believe him!" Seeing Yin Baimei's hesitation, Leng Kongyang's heart sank and he quickly instigated, "Everything he said is just an excuse by Luo Tianjin! This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone. Master, you must not be fooled..."

"Leng Kongyang, you are too presumptuous!" Yin Baimei's face darkened and he said angrily, "According to what you said, wouldn't I become an old fool who believes in slander and can't tell the truth from the false?"

"Master, please calm down. I said something wrong." Leng Kongyang was very nervous and bowed quickly to apologize.

Jin Fuyu, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but have an indescribable suspicion in his eyes when faced with Yin Baimei's ambiguous attitude.

"Liu Xunyi, what you just said is the final explanation given to me by Palace Master Luo?"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi was immediately confused and anxious. He was not sure whether Yin Baimei was happy or angry at this moment, and he was also not sure whether his eloquent speech could convince him.

At this moment, facing the ultimatum issued by Yin Baimei, how could Liu Xunyi dare to answer easily?
If he failed, not only would he be unable to restore the relationship between Kunlun Sect and the Xianwang Mansion, but his own life, the lives of Deng Changchuan and Ling Qing would also be in danger.

"Liu Xunyi, answer my question!" Suddenly, Yin Baimei shouted loudly, which immediately made Liu Xunyi's heart tremble.

"Yes..." Liu Xunyi suppressed his anxiety and answered bravely, "It was the instructions given by Palace Master Luo to the senior before the martial arts conference... As for how to resolve the matter of 'stealing skills', Palace Master Luo and Sect Master Yin will have to discuss it separately after the martial arts conference..." "What a joke!"

Yin Baimei's face showed a ferocious expression, and he said contemptuously: "With just a few words from you, you think I can be convinced? Humph! Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

"I don't dare!"

"Open your eyes and take a good look. Where is this place? Who are the people here?" Yin Baimei laughed angrily and taunted, "Qingcheng, Emei, Lu Mansion, Teng Clan, Tang Clan, Qin Clan, plus Jinjianwu and Kunlun, eight major sects, thousands of people, we gathered in Jiangzhou, do you think we are here to enjoy the mountains and rivers? Even if your sweet talk just now can convince me, can you convince the heroes present?"

"What?" Liu Xunyi's eyes suddenly changed, and he asked in shock, "Could it be that Sect Leader Yin has made up his mind to fight against Jueqing Valley?"

"That's right!" Yin Baimei said sternly, "The eight major sects have mobilized their forces and come from afar, how can this be a joke? To be honest, tonight's banquet is not only a banquet of thanks, but also a banquet before the war!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of everyone present changed, and each of them looked strange.

Liu Xunyi silently observed the reactions of the crowd, and suddenly something came to his mind. He sneered and said, "Master Yin is wrong! I'm afraid that the falling flower has intentions, but the flowing water is ruthless. Master Yin is willing to share the same hatred with you, but you may not be willing to live and die with Master Yin."

Before he finished speaking, there was already a cry of surprise. Jin Fuyu's eyes flickered, as if his heart was in turmoil.

"Asshole!" Yin Baimei shouted angrily, "Liu Xunyi, how dare you sow discord?"

"Don't laugh at me sleeping drunk on the battlefield. How many men have ever returned from a battle in history?" Liu Xunyi ignored Yin Baimei's anger and laughed, "The Jueqing Valley is one of the four great heretical sects in the martial arts world, and it has stood tall in the martial arts world for more than 20 years. If you want to wipe it out completely, I'm afraid that at least 70 to 80 percent of you who are drinking and chatting happily tonight will be drowned in the surging river and become a meal for fish and shrimp. Have you really made up your mind to have a bloody battle in Jiangzhou?"

"This……"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone started whispering to each other.

Seeing this, a look of astonishment appeared on Yin Baimei's old face.

Liu Xunyi snorted and laughed, and asked, "Or, are you all just here in Jiangzhou for fun, just to have fun, and never thought of risking your life?"

"Liu Xunyi's lies are despicable. Since we dare to come, we should fight with our lives." Leng Yiyi looked around at everyone with unkind eyes and said in a cold voice, "Liu Xunyi used such a childish scheme to sow discord, which is simply a humiliation for himself."

"That's right! We are all willing to fight against heresy with Kunlun Sect!"

"Destroy the Valley of Extinction and rid the martial arts world of this evil!"

Seeing Leng Yiyi take the lead in expressing her opinion, the people present no longer hesitated and spoke in agreement. For a moment, the heroes were indignant, with a determination and momentum of "not returning until Loulan is conquered".

"Master Yin!" Leng Yiyi turned her eyes and urged Yin Baimei, "You have seen that heroes from all walks of life are not afraid of life and death, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives to accompany you. As the master of Kunlun Sect, what are you still hesitating about? Why don't you kill Liu Xunyi, this sinister and treacherous villain, and give justice to the heroes? Don't you want you to suffer unjustly and follow you to fight against the heretics?"

"I..."

"Don't hesitate!" Leng Yiyi didn't give Yin Baimei any chance to guess, and urged, "Kill them, and we will set off immediately to attack Jueqing Valley in the rainy night and kill them all!"

"After tonight, Jueqing Valley will completely disappear from the martial arts world." Leng Kongyang echoed in a hurry, "Master, time is running out, let's do it!"

Facing Leng Yiyi and Leng Kongyang who sang the same tune, the indignant people from all walks of life, Jin Fuyu who said nothing but had a sharp gaze, and Liu Xunyi who had a complicated and uneasy look, Yin Baimei hesitated again and again, and finally his eyes hardened and he slowly said: "I have made up my mind..."

"Master Yin, can't you see that this is Jin Jianwu's plan to destroy Guo by pretending to be a pretext and kill someone with a borrowed knife? If you attack the people in Xianwang Mansion, you will have an irreconcilable feud with Beixianwang. By then, you will have no room for turning back and will be led by Jin Jianwu. Do you really want Kunlun Sect to become a puppet of Jin Jianwu like Qingcheng and Emei?"

Just when Yin Baimei made up his mind, a woman's cold laughter suddenly came from outside the door.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by Abaolu, Liao Chuan and Liao Hai, Xunzhen, wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat, stepped into Xunyang Tower with a graceful step.
