The most difficult thing to balance in this world is profit.

Once profit is involved, even brothers can easily fight to the death. Not to mention, it concerns the struggle for the position of a sect leader.

Nie Xiaochun said, "What if Zhao Zhao agrees, and after she solves the Huangquan Bidi Lian (Yellow Springs Twin Lotus) in her body, she directly passes the position of sect leader to her opponent?"

Ling shook her head and said, "That's not possible. Even if Lin Zhao agrees, those who support Lin Zhao won't agree."

"The sect leader's struggle is not a fight between two people, but a conflict between different interest groups."

"So, no one will believe Lin Zhao."

I was silent for a moment and said, "Lao Liu, prepare the visiting card! Tomorrow, we'll meet the Guiguan Men (Coffin Sect) Leader."

Wang Butcher and Lao Liu prepared the visiting card and solemnly handed it to the Guiguan Men.

However, early the next morning, we were blocked at the gate by a group of Guiguan Men disciples carrying corpses.

The leader pointed at us and shouted, "Li Po, Lin Zhao, you assassinated Xu Xia to seize the position of sect leader, and you dare to come to our door so blatantly?"

"Come on!"

"Stop!"

As the two shouted at the same time, the Guiguan Men disciples stopped moving and looked at the Guiguan Men Leader, Xue Shaoyuan, who was walking over.

I looked at Xue Shaoyuan and cupped my fist in salute, "Li Po, head of Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall), greets Sect Leader Xue."

Xue Shaoyuan cupped his fist and said, "Hall Master Li's presence should have been celebrated with lanterns and decorations to welcome such a distinguished guest. However, misfortune has befallen my sect. I cannot entertain Hall Master Li. Please return!"

I nodded and said, "Understood. We'll meet again."

Just as I was about to turn around, I heard someone shout, "Sect Leader, don't let them go. Xu Xia must have died at their hands."

Lin Zhao was the first to get angry, "Are you guys brainless? I met Xu Xia yesterday, and he was killed that night. Wouldn't I be making myself a suspect by doing that?"

Wang Butcher held Lin Zhao down and said, "Lin Zhao, there's no need to say anything. There's a saying: 'You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.'"

"Whether we would kill someone at this time, everyone in the Guiguan Men knows it very well. Otherwise, the sect leader wouldn't have let us leave so easily."

"However, some people, in order to prevent you from entering the ancestral land, must open their eyes and tell lies."

I turned my head and said, "Sect Leader Xue, I suggest you thoroughly investigate the person who wants to keep us from Liangjie Tang. I think he harbors malicious intentions and wants to start a war between Guiguan Men and Liangjie Tang."

Xia Mengying, who was standing closest to me, gently nudged me, telling me not to speak.

We have many girls in our Liangjie Tang. No one would say much if girls bickered with others. Moreover, they are subordinates of Liangjie Tang, and even if they say something wrong, Lao Liu can smooth things over.

However, as the hall master, my words represent the attitude of Liangjie Tang.

If not handled properly, Guiguan Men and Liangjie Tang could really start a war.

There were over a hundred people on both sides, but no one spoke.

Everyone was afraid of saying something wrong and causing irreparable consequences!

Xue Shaoyuan sighed and cupped his fist, "Hall Master Li, please!"

I smiled slightly at Xue Shaoyuan and led Liangjie Tang away from Guiguan Men.

The first thing I said when I returned to the hotel was, "What do you think the Guiguan Men really means?"

Lao Liu shook his fan and said, "In my opinion, Zhu Zining and the others have already arrived."

"However, I don't quite understand why they killed Lin Zhao's competitor right away. This approach is too amateurish and wouldn't fool even a three-year-old child. How could it possibly provoke a conflict between Guiguan Men and Liangjie Tang?"

Ling said, "I think Xue Shaoyuan will come to you tonight. This is his only way to break the deadlock."

"Xue Shaoyuan will ask you to take Lin Zhao into the Guiguan Men ancestral land. We must agree to this, as it is the key point of contention between us. However, Liangjie Tang can only agree to enter the ancestral land and cannot agree to any other demands from Guiguan Men. This is the bottom line."

After I nodded, Lao Liu said, "This time, the two of us, me and Commander Ling, will have a good contest with Zhu Zining. The matter of the Guiguan Men ancestral land can only be entrusted to you, Master."

"It's not appropriate to send too many people this time. Hall Master, Shopkeeper Ye, Lin Zhao, plus... plus Xiaochun should be enough."

"The rest of us will stay behind to deal with Zhu Zining."

I know what Lao Liu means by wanting me to bring Nie Xiaochun. He wants me to find out the truth about Nie Xiaochun's identity.

After thinking about it briefly, this allocation plan should be the most reasonable approach.

The remaining task is to gather information and wait for Xue Shaoyuan's arrival.

However, the information obtained by Chen Shuyu and Tianji She (Heaven's Secret Society) is not optimistic.

The news from Chen Shuyu is that the souls of Guiguan Men disciples cannot be found in the underworld.

This means that the Guiguan Men disciples have either been completely annihilated or have become Huangquan (Yellow Springs) stowaways.

If it's the latter, it means that we have already fallen behind!

It also means that Zhu Zining has obtained all the secrets of the Guiguan Men ancestral land.

Whether to enter or not is just a matter of her thought.

The news from Tianji She is that some Guiguan Men disciples are missing.

Doesn't this mean that someone has already entered the Guiguan Men ahead of us?
