40 Sect Master's Purpose, The Imperial Court's Secret Operation

Since Sect Master Yun is here personally, it must be the Imperial Court's matter!

Zhang Xuan guessed as he walked.

After all, for the past three years, the Imperial Court had been preparing to target the alliance, but they had kept it relatively hidden and restrained.

This time, it was probably going to be a big one. That was why even Yun Zhongtian couldn't sit still.

Although Zhang Xuan did not care about these things, with his current status, he could not stand by and do nothing.

In the past three years, Zhang Xuan had enjoyed the best treatment from the Mount Song Sect. Even if he did not make any requests, Yun Zhongtian would give priority to Zhang Xuan to choose anything good.

It could be said that the Mount Song Sect and the alliance treated Zhang Xuan very well and respected him very much.

Now that the alliance needed it, Zhang Xuan naturally had no reason to refuse.

Soon, Zhang Xuan met Yun Zhongtian in the living room.

The current Yun Zhongtian had changed quite a bit compared to three years ago.

He had become rich and was dressed very gorgeously. He looked like a high-ranking official, not someone from the pugilistic world.

Looking at the changes in Yun Zhongtian, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but think of how things had changed in the past three years.

Over the years, the Mount Song Sect had developed rapidly. Be it its influence or wealth, they were incomparable to before.

In particular, the disciples of the Mount Song Sect were even more energetic. They were all proud to be able to become disciples of the Mount Song Sect.

"Sect Master Yun, why are you here?"

Although Zhang Xuan guessed that it had something to do with the Imperial Court, he pretended not to know anything in front of Yun Zhongtian.

After all, a guess was still a guess. There was no need for him to pretend to be profound or smart in front of Yun Zhongtian and expose Yun Zhongtian's motive.

"The Imperial Court is going to attack the alliance soon!"

Yun Zhongtian went straight to the point.

It wasn't like the time he had just met Zhang Xuan when he had to be polite first.

The three years of interaction had brought Yun Zhongtian and Zhang Xuan closer. The two of them no longer needed to be polite.

"This is a message from our people."

As Yun Zhongtian spoke, he handed a secret letter to Zhang Xuan.

The reason why he wanted Zhang Xuan to see it personally and not listen to him say it out loud was because he respected Zhang Xuan.

After all, Zhang Xuan was the one who contributed to the Mount Song Sect's success. Even though Yun Zhongtian was the sect master, he was still as humble as when he first met Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan did not stand on ceremony. He took the secret letter and read it. He raised his eyebrows.

For the past three years, the Imperial Court had not given up on destroying the alliance. They had made all sorts of arrangements in the dark. Zhang Xuan knew a little about this, but he did not expect that the Imperial Court's method was to split the major sects in the alliance from within.

The information in the secret letter was that the few sects that the Imperial Court had won over were preparing to rebel at the critical moment and completely destroy the alliance.

"The Imperial Court's methods are not very glorious."

Zhang Xuan chuckled. He felt that the Imperial Court's actions were rather shameless.

However, it had to be said that this method was the most beneficial to the Imperial Court. They would exchange the smallest price for the greatest benefit. Anyone would choose this method.

As for those sects in the alliance that were roped in by the Imperial Court, Zhang Xuan also understood their intentions.

It was because the Imperial Court had given them too much leverage that those sects were willing to take the risk.

Moreover, these sects that were roped in had a common characteristic. When the alliance was independent, these sects had secretly competed with Yun Zhongtian for power. However, because Mount Song Sect's reputation was too high, they could not compete with Yun Zhongtian in the end.

Zhang Xuan guessed that the reason why those sects joined the Imperial Court was because they could not fight for power with Yun Zhongtian.

Actually, this kind of thing was too normal. Where there were people, there would definitely be conflicts of interest. There was no way to resolve it.

"Compared to the disgrace of the Imperial Court, the sects that were bribed are the most shameless!"

Yun Zhongtian snorted coldly. When he thought of those sects that had sided with the Imperial Court, he gritted his teeth.

In order to go against the Imperial Court, they had sacrificed so much. Just as they were about to completely escape the control of the Imperial Court, these people were actually willing to do anything for their own benefit.

How hateful!

"How is Sect Master Yun going to deal with this?"

Zhang Xuan did not blame the sects that were bribed by the Imperial Court.

From a different standpoint, it was very difficult to tell who was right and who was wrong.

However, there was one thing that was easy to distinguish. Anyone who stood on the opposite side would definitely be his enemy.

Since they were enemies, there was no need to be merciful!

Zhang Xuan's voice rang out, and only then did the furious Yun Zhongtian slowly calm down.

"I've already contacted the Connate experts of the other sects. Before those people cause trouble, I'll take them by surprise to prevent future trouble!"

When Yun Zhongtian received the news, he immediately contacted the Connate experts of the few sects he trusted and discussed a set of countermeasures.

The reason why he personally came to see Zhang Xuan was not simply to tell him this news, but to ask Zhang Xuan to cooperate with them.

After a pause, before Zhang Xuan could speak, Yun Zhongtian revealed his true motive for coming.

"The Eight Trigrams Sect Master, Ye Xiucheng. I need you to restrain him."

The Eight Trigrams Sect that Yun Zhongtian mentioned was also one of the largest pugilistic world sects in the Great Zhou Empire.

Sect Master Ye Xiucheng was a veteran Connate expert. His combat strength was on par with Yun Zhongtian's. Apart from Yun Zhongtian, the only one in the alliance who could restrain the other party was Zhang Xuan.

Only by restraining Ye Xiucheng would they be able to capture everyone else.

Furthermore, this plan could not allow any accidents or mistakes. Otherwise, it would have a huge impact on the alliance and might even cause it to completely collapse.

To be safe, Zhang Xuan had to personally restrain Ye Xiucheng to ensure that no accidents would happen in this plan.

After all, Zhang Xuan's achievements were obvious. Back then, the Imperial Court had sent out several Connate experts to attack the Connate experts in the alliance. Only when Zhang Xuan captured the Imperial Court's expert alive did the alliance's rise be established.

Moreover, Zhang Xuan was an Elder of the Mount Song Sect. If Zhang Xuan could make a great contribution this time, no one in the alliance would be jealous of the Mount Song Sect.

"Restrain Yang Xiucheng?"

Zhang Xuan smiled and looked at Yun Zhongtian strangely.

This was a Connate expert. Wouldn't it be a waste to simply restrain him?

After capturing Wang Bo, his internal energy had increased by a third.

If he could devour two more Connate experts' internal energy, he would have a high chance of breaking through to the Grandmaster realm.

Of course, devouring other people's internal energy was Zhang Xuan's secret. Even if he trusted Yun Zhongtian, he could not tell him.

In the major sects, martial arts that sucked people's internal energy were defined as heretic. Furthermore, it would also alert others.
