Chapter 142 Gradually Handing Over Power
After everyone left, Zhang Liang couldn't help but fall into deep thought. On the surface, Fu Nian just came to say hello and invited him to visit Xiaoshengxianzhuang if he had the chance, but his real purpose was probably to win over the Taoist Tianzong, or at least to show his goodwill to them.
Each school has its own survival rules, and it is inevitable to fight and form alliances with each other. As the future leader of Confucianism, it is normal for Fu Nian to know Zhang Liang, the future successor of Taoist Tianzong, in advance. However, Zhang Liang suddenly felt that he was calculated by Bei Mingzi. He jumped out of the vortex of fighting between dynasties, but fell into a new vortex of fighting among various schools of thought. Even Taoist Tianzong could not stay out of it.
But he just sighed slightly, it's not that he didn't know that unless he completely away from the world to practice cultivation, he would not be able to avoid the entanglement of worldly struggles.
"Master, which other sects are on good terms with our Tian Sect? And which sects are at odds with us?" Zhang Liang turned around and asked Chisongzi.
"My Tian Sect emphasizes secluded practice and rarely gets involved in the secular world. We have only a few thousand disciples, and we have not deliberately made enemies with any sect. Although the disputes among the hundreds of sects have a bottom line, at most they just suppress each other." Chisongzi replied with a smile.
Zhang Liang shook his head, not completely agreeing with Chisongzi's statement. Even though the Hundred Sects seemed to be in harmony for the past hundred years, and there had not been a large-scale extermination incident, there were more than a dozen remaining Hundred Sects. The rest of the sects had been wiped out.
Once the Qin State launches a full-scale war of annihilation in the future, the hundreds of schools of thought will probably not be able to stay out of it and will be drawn into the dispute. At that time, there is no guarantee that there will not be a sect that will be destroyed.
However, thinking that his strength would definitely be far greater than it is today by then, and he might even have been promoted to the Divine Sea Realm, the world would be vast at that time, so he would not need to worry too much about this matter.
Just as he was thinking, a pale, red-haired, evil young man came over. This man had long, narrow eyes, and an unfathomable aura emanating from his body. Even a perceptive person like Zhang Liang could only feel that he was a master-level expert, but it was difficult to tell his specific realm.
The young man introduced himself: "I am Zhao Gao from the Qin State, nice to meet you two."
Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that this person was Zhao Gao, the leader of the Luowang organization, who would later become famous. At that time, although Luowang had not yet developed to its later strength, it had already shown its embryonic form. Zhang Liang had had a feud with Luowang before and had personally killed a Luowang member at the master level. According to common sense, he and Zhao Gao should have a deep hatred. However, at this moment, there was no trace of hatred on Zhao Gao's face, as if that past event had never happened.
Facing Chisongzi's indifferent question, Zhao Gao replied respectfully: "In accordance with the order of the King of Qin, I have come to invite the Taoist Tianzong master to the Qin Palace to teach the prince and answer his questions!"
"I understand. Tianzong will send a representative to go." Chisongzi nodded slightly in agreement.
Zhao Gao said no more and left.
Watching Zhao Gao's back disappear, Zhang Liang asked Chisongzi in confusion: "Master, are you really going to the Qin Palace to teach?"
In fact, everyone knows that the so-called lecture to the prince of Qin is just an excuse for Qin to win over Tianzong. The real intention, the content of the agreement and the exchange of interests are the core.
"It's not me who will go, but you." Chi Songzi said with a smile, "Tomorrow I will leave for Tianzong and go to the inheritance place to practice in seclusion. The affairs of Tianzong will be left to you and the elders."
"I'll go?" Zhang Liang was shocked when he heard this. He was indeed curious about the Qin State and wanted to see the man who was known as the greatest emperor in history. But Zhang Liang was unwilling to negotiate with the King of Qin on behalf of Emperor Tianzong.
"Don't worry, uncle will go with you." Chisongzi smiled teasingly.
Zhang Liang glared at him and retorted, "I knew it. How could you let me handle such an important matter alone? So you want me to play a supporting role!"
"You can't say that. Qin is different from Han. Although the invitation from the King of Qin is real, it may not be without danger. The Yin-Yang family has already set up camp in the King of Qin's palace. If you go there alone, you will easily become their target. In addition, we need to demonstrate the strength of our Tianzong this time, so it is more appropriate for Uncle Master to go there personally. However, Uncle Master is only taking action this time. If something happens with Qin again in the future, I'm afraid it will be up to you to take charge of the situation." Chi Songzi explained with a smile.
"What about my senior brother? Where is he?" Zhang Liang asked again.
"As long as you go all the way to Xianyang, you will naturally meet him." Chisongzi replied.
"Okay." Zhang Liang smiled helplessly. He knew that the Tianzong's move was to gradually hand over power, which was a sign of respect for him. But he still felt that he had become a laborer for the Tianzong. However, it was precisely because he joined the Tianzong that he had the opportunity to participate in such important affairs at this age. With his original identity, he probably was not qualified to meet Qin King Ying Zheng.
In this battle between the Heavenly Sect and the Human Sect, the Heavenly Sect won a great victory. The news that Chisongzi was about to break through the cultivation level was spread intentionally or unintentionally, and Zhang Liang, a new generation of Tianzong master, also emerged in the battle and attracted widespread attention.
Therefore, when Tianzong left the next day, his disciples were in high spirits. In comparison, several faces from Renzong seemed a little uncomfortable, especially Xiaoyaozi, who became even more gloomy after learning that Zhao Gao had visited Tianzong.
