One person: I am Li Buren, I cannot bear to do anything!

Wangjia

"Jin Kui, is the Shu Zi Sect ready?"

Since the last meeting of the Ten Elders, Wang Ai and the other Ten Elders have made their stance clear.

With the company's support, a trip to Longhu Mountain is a must.

At this moment, Wang Ai, Chen Jinkui, and Feng Zhenghao were all sitting in the Wang family's reception room.

"Preparations are almost complete. This time, we've managed to bring together every single expert from the Technique Sect."

Chen Jinkui sat to Wang Ai's right, glancing towards the door every now and then.

"I heard that Mr. Mu You and Master Jie Kong will also be coming this time?"

Feng Zhenghao sat on the left, his gaze also fixed on the doorway.

Wang Ai chuckled.

"In that case, five out of the Ten Elders participated in this siege of the Old Celestial Master."

Feng Zhenghao glanced at Wang Ai, a perfectly appropriate look of surprise on his face.

Seeing the surprised expression on the face of the leader of the World Society, who was in his prime, Wang Ai smiled even more like a chrysanthemum.

"No, President Feng still overlooked something."

"Of these ten elders, any one of them may not be with me, but there is one who will definitely be with me."

Before he even arrived, his voice preceded his arrival.

"Hmph, you only think of coming to me when you cause trouble?"

A thin, elderly figure, still exuding a murderous aura, walked in.

"Old Master Lü."

"Senior Lü."

Chen Jinkui and Feng Zhenghao both instinctively stood up to greet him.

Feng Zhenghao, on the other hand, felt a little nervous.

"I didn't expect that old dog from the Wang family to have such a strong influence; as many as six of the Ten Elders came."

"It's also possible that several of them had the idea of ​​suppressing the Old Celestial Master and keeping the Longhu Mountain lineage in check."

"But the scale of this operation has exceeded our expectations, and even if I turn against them now, it will be too late..."

"Now, it's just a matter of seeing whether the other members of the Ten Elders intend to lend a helping hand or remain on the sidelines."

"Or... kicking someone when they're down?!"

The more Feng Zhenghao thought about it, the faster his heart began to beat.

As the leader of the World Society, who had fought his way up through countless battles, even he couldn't help but worry about his young ally in this situation.

Just then, two more bald men entered through the door—

Master Muyou and Master Jiekong.

"Gentlemen, we've been waiting for you for so long! Now you're all here."

Not only was Feng Zhenghao surprised, but Mu You and Master Jiekong, who had just arrived, were also somewhat taken aback.

Taking sides at the negotiating table is unavoidable.

After all, you can't have everyone take sides and insist on remaining neutral, because that would put you on the opposite side of everyone.

But once they're off the negotiating table and it's time to really see who's who, it's terrifying that Wang Ai can still call all these people back.

Mu You and Master Jie Kong exchanged a glance, then found a seat near the door and sat down.

Once everyone was seated, Wang Ai glanced around and cleared her throat before speaking.

As the saying goes, "Major matters should be discussed in large meetings, while major matters should be discussed in small meetings."

"We're all friends here today, so I won't beat around the bush and will just say what I have to say."

As she spoke, Wang Ai's eyes would occasionally sweep over Feng Zhenghao.

Feng Zhenghao quickly put on a fawning smile, which revealed a mixture of fear and relief.

It can only be said that Feng Zhenghao is indeed a shrewd person who understands human nature very well.

In every move and every detail, he behaved exactly as Wang Ai had hoped, leaving no room for doubt.

"Those words were both a signal to win me over and a subtle warning."

Not only Wang Ai, but after saying that, Lü Ci also deliberately glanced at Feng Zhenghao and frowned slightly.

"Whether it's the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain or Zhang Zhiwei, I'm sure you all feel that he has a bit too much influence among the Ten Elders."

Wang Ai's first sentence set the tone and resonated deeply with everyone present.

Before Zhang Zhiwei got into trouble, let's leave aside how they fought each other.

With his exceptional skills, status as a Celestial Master, and close friendship with Lu Jin, Zhang Zhiwei wielded an absurdly large amount of influence.

It often takes the combined efforts of the other ten elders to barely keep them in check.

"This is an opportunity, and it might be a once-in-a-lifetime chance!"

"The company's attitude is very clear. Even if Zhao Fangxu is unwilling to directly express his opinion and take action, his meaning is very straightforward."

"They also want Zhang Zhiwei crippled, or rather, forced to leave the Ten Elders!"

Wang Aichu first revealed his fangs.

"But..."

Master Jiekong, who had been sitting at the end, looked somewhat worried and his expression was solemn.

Before Master Jiekong could finish speaking, Wang Ai smiled.

"What is Master Jiekong worried about?"

"Although Lu Jin didn't show it very clearly during this negotiation, he and the Old Celestial Master have been close friends for many years. If we really want to cripple the Old Celestial Master, I'm afraid he won't stand idly by..."

The other members of the Ten Elders could also see it.

Among these people, purely in terms of strength, Master Jiekong, whose meridians were destroyed, is undoubtedly the weakest.

Among Master Jiekong's subordinates, only his eldest disciple was capable of fighting.

"Master, there's no need to worry. The Lu family is nothing special."

"I knew long ago that he disliked the Lü and Wang families. He's just an arrogant old man. If he really could do anything to us, would he have tolerated it until now?"

Wang Ai seemed to have made plans long ago.

"As for the remaining Ten Elders, hmph..."

"Since Chairman Feng joined Lao, Guan Shihua has been completely silent outside of Northeast China."

"Those guys under Ru Hu are no match for him. Even if he wanted to help Zhang Zhiwei, he couldn't possibly lower himself by doing it himself."

"The only one among the Ten Elders who needs to be considered is Lu Jin."

Lu Ci sat down next to Wang Ai and nodded.

"That's well said, but don't forget that Zhang Zhiwei is still a Celestial Master with ten disciples under his command, and the Zhengyi lineage can't just stand by and do nothing."

Wang Ai chuckled.

"Don't you know me? If you haven't considered these things, do you really think I'm that confident I could have called you here?"

"The Zhengyi lineage is nothing more than the Shangqing School; the Shenxiao School is still something that can be used to show off."

"But compared to us, they weren't as bold as them to go to great lengths to protect Zhang Zhiwei."

"The company is watching closely too."

Wang Ai glanced around at the six elders of the Ten Elders present.

"The ten disciples might hold out to the death, but so what?"

"If you know what's good for you, then just give up."

"If they don't know what's good for them, I wouldn't mind crippling a few of them as well."

"I want to see if Longhu Mountain can still maintain its position as a leading force in the righteous path after crippling Zhang Zhiwei and several of his disciples!"

After these words were spoken, the ten elders present exchanged glances.

This time, Wang Ai is truly determined to deal with Zhang Zhiwei.

"By the way, Senior Wang, what if those two lads from Wudang Mountain try to stop us again?"

Chen Jinkui suddenly thought of something and asked the question subconsciously.

"Wudang Mountain?"

Wang Ai snorted coldly.

"If they dare to cause any more trouble, cripple them!"

Everyone exchanged glances, recognizing Wang Ai's determination, and a single thought simultaneously crossed their minds.

"The weather's about to change..."

...

"The weather's about to change..."

"Ah Qiu".

Li couldn't help but sneeze, and looked at the somewhat gloomy weather overhead with a sigh.

"Is autumn here at the Talisman Sect so fast? I've been here for a while now, and it's much colder than Kyoto. I almost caught a cold..."
