December 26, Ji Si, clash with snake, evil spirits in the west,

Suitable for traveling and bathing, avoid funerals.

Today is December 26 in the seventh year of Qingli, Danyang Mountain is exceptionally lively, because today is the birthday of Sect Leader Song Lingjun of Danyang Sect. Danyang Sect has grandly organized it, inviting prominent figures from all over Lu Yuan Dao, flourishing in prosperity and harmony.

The super first-class factions within Lu Yuan Dao, the Wu Family from Changjing River, the Yu Family from Spring God Mountain, the patriarchs of both families personally brought senior members of their sects to congratulate, and more than a dozen notable first-class forces and over thirty well-known gangs gathered at Danyang Sect.

Such a scene has been unprecedented at Danyang Sect in the last few decades.

Although Danyang Sect has always been the number one Martial Arts force in Lu Yuan Dao, Sect Leader Song Lingjun also has great prestige in Lu Yuan Dao. However, after all, Lu Yuan Dao is not solely dominated by Danyang Sect, and there is the Wu Family and Yu Family competing against it. Moreover, since the territories are adjacent, they have not been very pleasant with each other.

In recent years, due to the suppression of the Cyan Gorge Covenant, everyone has tried to minimize friction and maintained interactions, but only on a formal level, never has there been a situation like today.

Not only did the sect leaders personally come to offer birthday wishes, but they all brought top-tier members and elite disciples, making it clear to those who know that they came to offer birthday gifts; those who don’t might think that the factions are coming to besiege Danyang Sect.

The grand presence was so overwhelming that Danyang Sect barely had space to accommodate so many people, most of the sect members were arranged in the towns below Danyang Mountain, only a few high-ranking officials came up to Danyang Mountain.

With such gracious presence from various factions,

Danyang Sect naturally extended cordial treatment. Almost all the senior members emerged to greet the guests, many old veterans who had already retired also appeared, and quite a few were Martial Artists of Sect Leader Song Lingjun’s master’s generation.

Sect Leader Song Lingjun personally received the sect leaders in the main hall of Danyang Sect.

The entire Danyang Mountain was filled with joy and festivity, decorated with lights and banners, bustling with excitement.

However, when the sect leaders followed Song Lingjun into the Danyang Sect’s main hall, the joyful atmosphere vanished instantly, replaced by a solemn and oppressive air.

In a moment of silence,

Song Lingjun took the lead in breaking the oppressive atmosphere and said, "Fellow Daoists, since everyone is already here for the alliance, it means preparations are complete. After this battle, Lu Yuan Martial Arts will definitely reach new heights.

However, in this battle, we face Beidou Bang, one of the top five forces, which is no small matter. Therefore, I need to confirm once again, is everyone determined? After today, there will be no turning back!"

After a brief silence, the patriarch of the Wu Family from Changjing River chuckled and said, "Sect Leader Song, since everyone is here, and they brought their elite disciples, that means everyone is prepared, no need to worry!"

"Exactly," the patriarch of the Yu Family from Spring God Mountain also laughed softly and said, "Though Beidou Bang is strong, with all the heroes of Lu Yuan Martial Arts gathered, why fear just Beidou Bang? Sect Leader Song, why not talk about the plan?"

"Yes, yes, Sect Leader Song, since we are here, it’s impossible to regret!"

"Years ago, Mo Jingzhou attacked our Lu Yuan Dao Martial Arts, this grudge should be avenged after so many years."

"..."

The sect leaders all voiced their opinions.

Song Lingjun looked around at everyone and said, "Speaking of the plan, actually there isn’t anything special, it’s just attacking the weaknesses of Beidou Bang.

Beidou Bang appears strong, but it’s essentially just an empty shell, lacking successors. The old are fading, and the young cannot take the helm. It used to rely on Mo Jingzhou alone, now it’s merely replaced by Gu Zhan.

Therefore, to deal with Beidou Bang, as long as we unite, with determination and solidarity, we can crush Beidou Bang, war is also about momentum!

Beidou Bang’s biggest weakness is its extreme shortage of mid-to-high-level combat power. Apart from Gu Zhan, they only have Xiao Chen and Yun Wei as Grandmasters, other than that, the Mo Family has two Grandmasters. Whereas we, Danyang Sect, have two Grandmasters, Wu Family has two Grandmasters, Yu Family has one Grandmaster, a total of five Grandmasters, not to mention our sect alone has more than two, completely overwhelming.

As for mid-tier combat power, that’s also Beidou Bang’s weakness, they have very few Great Cultivators, while the number of Great Cultivators among various factions in Lu Yuan Dao is several times that of theirs, also overwhelming, basically able to sweep through directly."

Everyone present agreed with Song Lingjun’s words.

Beidou Bang has always relied on Mo Jingzhou alone, lacking foundation, this was widely known,

Years ago, during the conflict between Beidou Bang and Lu Yuan Dao Martial Arts, Lu Yuan Dao Martial Arts couldn’t handle Mo Jingzhou, so they chose to assassinate the young disciples, unexpectedly succeeding, directly causing Beidou Bang to almost break down,

Success came from Beidou Bang’s lack of foundation and lack of high-end combat power to protect its young disciples.

As long as Mo Jingzhou was bypassed, Beidou Bang was just an empty shell.

Today’s Beidou Bang hasn’t improved much,

Although after decades of development, Beidou Bang’s overall strength far exceeds any individual force within Lu Yuan Dao, but now the entire Lu Yuan Dao is united, Beidou Bang’s foundation is simply not enough.

Song Lingjun also felt a bit emotional,

If thirty years ago Lu Yuan Dao could unite like this, there wouldn’t have been Beidou Bang long ago, but there was always trickery between the factions, making true cooperation impossible.
