"Old Immortal, I, Quan, am leading my men up the mountain. Please allow us to pass!"

"That's natural. The Beggars' Sect is a prestigious and powerful sect, while my Starry Constellation Sect is merely a small sect in the Western Regions. How could we possibly stand in their way? But..."

Ding Chunqiu was a man who wouldn't get up early for nothing, so he said in a deep voice, "If the Beggars' Sect could join forces with my Xingxiu Sect to go up the mountain, then the combined strength of our two sects would be..."

Ding Chunqiu's intention was clear: to unite the Beggars' Sect and the Starry Sky Sect. This would give them a much stronger voice at the Heroes' Assembly, and the position of martial arts alliance leader would be within their grasp!

"Chief, the Xingxiu Sect is a heretical sect. We can't let our Beggars' Clan's century-old foundation just disappear like this!" Elder Song Qingxi, one of the four elders, was the most senior and valued the future of the Beggars' Clan the most, so he couldn't help but advise.

"Elder Song, you are mistaken. Although the Xingxiu Sect is a sect from the Western Regions, it is not a demonic sect. Our Beggars' Sect is merely cooperating with the Xingxiu Sect, not belonging to it. In fact, it is our Beggars' Sect that has subdued the Xingxiu Sect!"

Quan Guanqing's trusted subordinate couldn't help but say, "It would be better if someone else said this, but Quan Guanqing absolutely cannot say it!"

Quan Guanqing was also in a dilemma. Reality told him that if he did not agree to Ding Chunqiu's request, their Beggars' Sect would not even have the chance to go up the mountain, and they might offend the Xingxiu Sect. At that time, the Beggars' Sect disciples would suffer heavy casualties. The Beggars' Sect had already lost a lot of fighting power in the last internal strife. As the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Quan Guanqing still had to have a sense of the big picture.

"I am very willing to form an alliance with you, Old Immortal, but I need Young Master Murong as my witness, and I nominate Young Master Murong as the leader of our alliance!"

Quan Guanqing's move was quite clever. He pushed Murong Fu forward, and in Quan Guanqing's view, he was privately Murong Fu's retainer. He pretended not to know him on the surface, but in reality, the benefits were still given to Murong Fu. At least in Quan Guanqing's view, if the three parties formed an alliance and attacked Shaolin Temple, no matter what Shaolin Temple's attitude was, they would be in a dominant position.

After much discussion, the Beggars' Sect finally agreed to the alliance. After all, they had no choice but to agree; they couldn't win!

Ding Chunqiu glanced at Murong Fu, but saw that he seemed not to have heard, so he couldn't help but ask for his opinion.

"Young Master Murong, would you be willing to become the leader of the alliance between my Starry Constellation Sect and the Beggars' Sect?"

Everyone's attention turned to Murong Fu. They were surprised that Murong Fu, who hadn't made much of a move, had actually gained the approval of the Xingxiu Sect and the Beggar Clan.

Not only did the arrogant and domineering Ding Chunqiu have to speak kindly to him, but Quan Guanqing also dared not disrespect Murong Fu, which made Duan Zhengchun and some idle martial arts figures who came later extremely envious and jealous of Murong Fu.

They all silently evaluated Murong Fu in their hearts. This is human nature!

"I've been pushed onto the stage again, but this is the effect I want! I want to be the protagonist at this martial arts heroes' gathering!" Thinking this, Murong Fu said, "Then I'll take the lead! Senior Ding, Chief Quan, let's go up the mountain!"

"Yes, Lord!"

Before Cao Cao even arrived at the mountain and before the Heroes' Gathering was held, he had already won over the Starry Sky Sect and the Beggars' Sect with his own abilities, and naturally became the leader of the alliance.

Although he is not yet the leader of the entire martial arts world, he is already very powerful. At least for many martial arts practitioners, no one dares to oppose or has the ability to oppose Murong Fu becoming the leader of the martial arts world, unless Xiao Feng comes knocking on his door.

One of the topics discussed at this Heroes' Gathering was how to deal with the Khitan Xiao Feng, because Shaolin had already prejudicially attributed all the deaths of martial arts figures to Xiao Feng. One of the responsibilities of the leader of the martial arts alliance is to maintain order in the martial arts world, so of course they had to deal with Xiao Feng!

However, this was also the idea of ​​the Shaolin Temple. Cao Cao became the leader of the martial arts alliance in order to reset the rules of the martial arts world!

"My lord, you are amazing!"

"Yes, this is the first time I've ever seen my master speak to someone so politely, and he even gave up the position of alliance leader to our lord."

"My cousin is definitely more capable."

Cao Cao, surrounded by beautiful women, led a large group of people to Shaolin Temple.

"The Starry Sky Immortal possesses boundless magical power!"

"The leader of the martial arts world, invincible under heaven!"

"Murong, Xingxiu, and Beggars' Sect form a grand alliance!"

The atmosphere team of the Starry Sky faction is really keeping up with the times, changing their slogans all the time, which makes people feel awkward.

"My lord, isn't this too high-profile?" A'Zhu felt that if they did this, the Murong family would become the target of everyone's criticism even before they had reached the mountain. Although they had brought the Xingxiu Sect and the Beggars' Sect together, there would still be malicious people spreading rumors about them!

"A'Zhu, the arrow is on the string and must be released. Since someone wants to hold us hostage, then let them hold us hostage." Cao Cao naturally knew what Ding Chunqiu and Quan Guanqing were thinking. When they joined the Guandong Coalition, everyone recommended Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and he was also the one who accepted the position without hesitation. His strength and reputation were there for all to see.

So no matter how much you refuse, it's useless. Back then, Cao Cao didn't have the chance to become the leader of the alliance, but now that he has the opportunity, he should seize it!

Anyway, he's still thinking about when the Xiao family father and son will attack. With the Shaolin side's strength, they can't even defeat the current three-way alliance, let alone Xiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan hiding in the shadows.

"Murong Bo has already left Luoyang and joined a merchant caravan heading to the port to establish his career overseas. Therefore, Murong Bo's identity as a madman will not be revealed. Xiao Feng can continue to befriend him and may even be able to subdue him. As for Xiao Yuanshan, he will definitely be suppressed by the peerless masters of Shaolin Temple!"

Cao Cao guessed that there must be a master-level figure in Shaolin Temple, and that he would take action if pushed too far.

Therefore, he couldn't completely offend the Shaolin Temple. However, he could remain neutral. As long as the instigator and the ringleader took responsibility, the matter could be resolved.

Since Murong Bo had been feigning death, everyone knew he was dead. The living wouldn't hold the dead accountable, especially since Murong Bo hadn't actually participated in the ambush and massacre of the Xiao family.

Cao Cao's current identity is Murong Fu. Considering the future development of the Murong family, it is the best strategy to trick Murong Bo into leaving. If he were also at Shaolin Temple, it is unbelievable that the battle between the Xiao family father and son and the Murong family father and son would be as fierce as a war between two countries.

The masters of Shaolin Temple would certainly not stand idly by and watch someone die. At least a few powerful figures would only intervene if the temple was on the verge of destruction. Therefore, Xiao Yuanshan's fate would definitely be to be imprisoned in Shaolin Temple, which is also Shaolin Temple's consistent practice.

After all, Xiao Yuanshan had secretly learned Shaolin martial arts, and to survive he would have to convert to Buddhism. Xiao Yuanshan's fate was predictable. To avoid this situation, Cao Cao still had to let Murong Bo go.

In this way, the Murong family will have an extra peerless master as a safety net. Once the malevolent energy within him is eliminated, Murong Bo's martial arts cultivation will continue to improve, and he will become a figure at the ancestor level!
