Chapter 955
"Set up in advance?" Everyone looked at Nun Jing Yi, not understanding.
Nun Xue Zhen probed, "I don't understand what you mean, Hierarch Lord. Although we had a Sect-Protecting Formation in the past, we still have many disciples in the Jianghu. Although we can't compare with Dalin Temple and the Righteous Alliance, we can't underestimate them.
This kind of setup … "
"Haha, Junior Sister Xue Zhen is right. Those are the forces of our Fragrant Religion. They are all the arrangements made by our ancestors. Our religion's intention is just to make the first move when we appear in Jianghu."
"Make the first move?" Nun Jing Fan asked curiously, "Please enlighten me."
"Our ancestors once said that the appearance of the Fragrant Religion would cause chaos in the Jianghu. Since we, the Fragrant Religion, have appeared in the Jianghu, we might disrupt the current structure of the Jianghu. A storm of blood may be unavoidable, but if we make the first move before the other sects react, wouldn't it be advantageous for us?"
Peacock said, "You are far-sighted. I can't compare."
Chen Chen quickly added, "That's right, that's right. What good plan do you have? Tell us!"
Nun Jing Yi smiled, "There's no such thing as far-sighted or scheming. It's just that I'm in a position. Besides, there are some things that I've been thinking about. Now that Jianghu has reopened, it's just that we're starting ahead of schedule."
When she saw the people's gazes, Nun Jing Yi said, "Since Incense Cult has returned to the world of martial artists, then … we should greet our old friends in the world of martial artists. We have decided that in three months, we will hold a martial arts tournament on Incense Cult's Huaiyu Peak. We will invite all the major sects in the world of martial artists to Incense Cult!"
Although it was a question, there was no denying it. Everyone was stunned at first, then a trace of fanaticism flashed in their eyes. They clapped and laughed, "You're wise and farsighted. We can't compare to you."
Nun Xue Zhen nodded, "I'm still thinking about how to get along with the sects in Jianghu. With this Martial Arts Convention, not only will the news of Jianghu's reappearance spread, but it will also show our strength. It'll make everyone admire us. It's killing two birds with one stone!"
"Then... Are there any arena matches?" Chen Chen asked anxiously from the side.
"When the people of Jianghu gather together, of course, they will discuss martial arts and swordsmanship. The competition in the arena should be indispensable. If the Cult of Incense wants to establish its prestige in Jianghu, it must be done!"
Abbess Jingfan looked at Chen Chen and the silent Peacock and said with a smile.
"Oh, that's right. Is there any news about First Elder Jing Gang?" Nun Jing Yi asked Nun Xuezhen calmly.
Abbess Xue Zhen took a look at Peacock and stood up. "Your subordinate is stupid. Peacock and I sent out disciples to kidnap quite a number of the spies, but … there was no improvement …"
"Hehe, since that's the case, I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"
"Well …" Abbess Xuezhen was ultimately compassionate. She probed, "Wouldn't that be … killing too many?"
A cold smile appeared on Jing Yi's face: "Jianghu is a dangerous place. Our Incense Order respects women, so who knows how many rascals covet it? Now that our Incense Order has returned to Jianghu, it's time to establish our might!"
"Moreover, after the Martial Arts Society Convention, how can we get along with those sects peacefully?
Our Incense Order has to have a share of the pie in Jianghu.
Kill, kill, kill. If we don't kill, our First Elder will have no one to accompany him in his sacrifice, right? "
"Yes, Your Excellency." Abbess Xuezhen did not dare to disobey and said in a low voice.
"Also, immediately send a disciple to send a message to Ming Qing. The plan has changed. Tell him to complete the task within three months!"
"Yes, your subordinate understands!"
At this time, Chen Chen smiled again and said, "Your Excellency, since the Martial Arts Society Convention is going to be held, then … How do we inform the major sects?
Are we going to send disciples out again? "
Seeing Chen Chen's eager look, Abbess Jingyi smiled. "You little girl, you're only thinking about going out to play.
Sigh, now that the door is open, you'll have plenty of opportunities to go out in the future. Why are you in such a hurry? "
"These children are so pitiful. They've never been to Jianghu alone, so how can they know how dangerous it is?
They all think that they're going out to play like messengers! "Abbess Jingfan said lovingly.
"However, what Chen Chen said is also reasonable. Today, I'm telling you about the Martial Arts Society Convention because I want to discuss with the elders who will go out. Since we're holding the Martial Arts Society Convention, we must send out the invitations!
Hahaha. "
Everyone laughed. Peacock said, "The inner disciples of our Incense Order have little experience in Jianghu and they're all women. The matter of inviting the sects is quite tricky. However, if we let the disciples of Ruijin Temple do it, it'll be disrespectful.
I think that the major sects should send some disciples of Mo Xuan Temple to send the invitations. As for the smaller sects, only the disciples of Ruijin Temple should go! "
"Peacock's words make sense."
Abbess Jingyi nodded. "It's similar to what I'm thinking. Well, Peacock is a disciple of our Incense Order. She'll send the invitations to the Tenryū Sect to show our respect for them!"
"That's great. Your Excellency, do you want people from the Dalin Temple and the Righteous Alliance to go as well?
What do you think of me? "Chen Chen clamored.
Nun Jing Yi ignored her and looked at Yuyan. She smiled and said, "Yuyan and this Junior Sister Xuezhen have not only surpassed their master in martial arts, they have also learned to be calm. The Righteous Alliance has always been restless, so I'll let you go."
Yuyan was neither haughty nor humble. She stood up and saluted. "I'll follow your orders."
Abbess Jingyi looked at Abbess Jingfan and said, "As for the other sects' invitations, I'll let Junior Sister Jingfan and Junior Sister Xuezhen worry about them. Let the reliable disciples of Ruijin Temple send them!"
Chen Chen pouted when she saw that there was nothing for her to do. She felt wronged. "Your Excellency, this disciple... is also a disciple of inheritance. The Dalin Temple hasn't sent anyone yet.
Why don't they send a disciple? "
"You?"
Abbess Jingyi saw this and shook her head. "There are only three disciples of inheritance in this generation. Peacock and Yuyan have already gone out. How can you go?"
"Moreover, you're Junior Sister Peacock. You're in charge of Ruijin Temple. While Peacock and Yuyan are out, you should take charge and familiarize yourself with the affairs of Ruijin Temple!"
"But..." Chen Chen was still reluctant. "Xi Mujun will be back soon. Let him sit and do the boring things. This disciple will go to the Dalin Temple on behalf of Your Excellency!"
Abbess Jingyi smiled bitterly. She pointed at Chen Chen and scolded with a smile. "You little girl, there are so many people in Mo Nuo Temple who are eyeing the position of Ruijin Temple. You're good. I let you sit there but you don't want to. You just have to run outside!"
"However, the Dalin Temple is a Buddhist holy land. It has a bad habit of not letting women in. Even if you go, the monks of the Dalin Temple won't let you in. Wouldn't it be a loss of face for my Xiangjiao?"
"Ah?
There's such a saying? "
Chen Chen was stunned. She scolded, "They're all raised by their parents. Why can only men enter but not women?
No wonder everyone in the world calls them bald donkeys! "
"Pfft." Everyone laughed. Even Abbess Jingyi couldn't help laughing. She pointed at Chen Chen and wanted to say something, but she couldn't.
Abbess Jingfan said, "Your Excellency is right. The Dalin Temple is a troublesome place. The Tenryū Sect and the Righteous Alliance are both invited by the inherited disciples. If the Dalin Temple isn't an inherited disciple, it would be rude of us. But if Chen Chen also goes, all three of us inherited disciples will go out. It's really inappropriate.
What can we do? What can we do? "
Abbess Xue Zhen smiled. "Maybe when Xi Mujun comes back, he's the eldest disciple of Ruijin Temple. Although he's not an inherited disciple, he can still go!"
"Yes, Xi Mujun is the first candidate to go to the Dalin Temple!"
Abbess Jingyi nodded. "But it's been a few days since the Guardian Array was opened. He should have returned long ago. Why is he still..."
While they were talking, Abbess Jingyi scanned the outside with her divine sense. She was delighted and smiled. "I have another idea. The second candidate to go to the Dalin Temple has been chosen!"
"The second candidate?"
Chen Chen was stunned. He shouted, "Xi Mujun can go, I won't fight with him. How can there be another candidate?
Who is it? "
Abbess Jingyi said, "Disciples outside, bring in Guardian Disciple Ren Xiaoyao!"
"Ren Xiaoyao?" Chen Chen's expression changed slightly. He looked at the entrance of the hall.
In just a short moment, a slender figure appeared at the entrance of Mo Xuan Palace. Wasn't that Zhang Xiaohua?
Zhang Xiaohua walked into the hall and saw that it was filled with people. There was also a jade coffin in the middle of the hall. He was astonished. After meeting Abbess Jingyi and the others, Zhang Xiaohua looked at the jade coffin again. He didn't ask anything and just stood at the bottom.
Chen Chen sized up Zhang Xiaohua with his big black eyes. He seemed to feel that there was something different about Zhang Xiaohua, but he couldn't tell what it was!
"Ren Xiaoyao, did you gain anything from this trip?" Abbess Jingyi suddenly asked after a moment of silence.
"Yes."
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he said calmly, "I followed Sect Master's orders and went to a few mountains. I investigated openly and secretly and obtained some information. I also found out that there were some spies..."
After that, Zhang Xiaohua told her what he knew. Of course, he didn't mention anything about Lei Hong from the Green Wood Palace. In the end, he cupped his hands and said, "I know that Sect Master is wise and everything is under your control. Therefore, I didn't dare to act rashly and alert the enemy..."
"Hmm, you are considerate!" Abbess Jingyi said coldly, "However, are you still hiding something from me?"
"Hiding something from Sect Master?"
Zhang Xiaohua was stunned. He asked curiously, "I told you everything in detail and didn't hide anything?"
"Is that so?" Abbess Jingyi said coldly, "You didn't kill Grand Elder Jing Gang?"
"Ah???"
Zhang Xiaohua was so shocked that his mouth opened so wide that a goose egg could fit in it. Before he could say anything, a strand of divine sense swept past and wrapped around Zhang Xiaohua's neck.
"You still won't admit it?
Grand Elder Jing Gang left Lingxiang Peak to hunt you down. Now that his corpse is on Xiling Peak, isn't that where you went?
You still want to quibble?? "
After that, the divine sense tightened and was about to strangle Zhang Xiaohua's neck...
