Chapter 504 Don’t Dare to Ask!
It has to be admitted that the alliance with Pei Xuanjing has made Baiyun Temple rapidly improve in the past few decades, with many strong people emerging and its strength increasing several times. Although this was something that the parties had discussed when the alliance was formed, when it was really achieved, Taoist Xuanming also knew that he had received a lot of favors from Pei Xuanjing.
But now Pei Xuanjing is too powerful, he is so powerful that it is suffocating. With Pei Xuanjing's current reputation, he is praised by countless warriors in the world, and they regard Pei Xuanjing as a sage.
It can be said that although the current Taoism is an alliance in the eyes of these people, in the eyes of outsiders and some ordinary disciples, the Taoism is one, and the leader of this Taoism is the invincible Pei Xuanjing.
This made Taoist Xuanming and the elders behind him a little panicked. After all, they can still hold on and stabilize the hearts of the disciples of the sect.
But if it really continues like this, and waits for a few decades, a new generation of young masters who admire Pei Xuanjing will rise up, then the entire Taoist sect will inevitably submit to Pei Xuanjing. As long as Pei Xuanjing is willing, he can even re-integrate the Taoist sect, just like the Demon Sect submits to one person.
This is unbearable for many powerful people such as Xuanming Taoist. Baiyun Temple has been passed down for thousands of years and is also a well-known Taoist sect. They may temporarily give up the leadership of the Taoist sect, but they are absolutely unwilling to let Baiyun Temple become a vassal of others, and finally disappear.
And will Pei Xuanjing really decide to unify the Taoist sect?
In the eyes of Xuanming Taoist, there is a great possibility.
After the rise of Shenxiao Sect, since the Jinmen Yuke developed Shenxiao Sect to its peak, he not only used Shenxiao Sect to lead the Taoist sect in the world, but also took the opportunity to suppress the Buddhist Demon Sect. This kind of thing is not fake at all.
Pei Xuanjing's reputation and strength are now countless times stronger than those of Jinmen Yuke. At that point, he only needs to nod his head to do things, so why can't he do it?
Taoist Xuanming sighed with a bitter smile: "Among the major sects of Taoism today, I am not as shrewd as the old Taoist master of Longhu Mountain, nor as strategic as Brother Qingxu of Zhenwu Sect, nor as decisive as the Taoist friend of Chunyang Sect, nor as confident as you. So I can only take the risk and ask, and I can't let the inheritance of Baiyun Temple be ruined in my hands."
Taoist Xuanming's own talent and understanding are also top-notch in this world. Being able to control Baiyun Temple for decades also proves that his means are extraordinary. However, sometimes strength and weakness are compared. In the circle where Taoist Xuanming is now, even if he is very good, he is still at the bottom.
The old Tianshi is the oldest among them. When the other party was in the martial arts world, they were not yet born. The old Tianshi who has been in charge of Longhu Mountain for nearly 200 years is so shrewd that no one can doubt it.
Moreover, the old Tianshi suppressed the strong man who returned from Longhu Mountain in Tianhuang Realm not long ago, and obtained the Zhengyi Talisman and the inheritance of the Ancestor Tianshi. With the support of Longhu Mountain in Tianhuang Realm, as long as the Ancestor Tianshi, who is the strongest in the ninth level of the spiritual realm, exists, Longhu Mountain does not worry about the possibility of being assimilated.
And the Taoist Qingxu of Zhenwu Sect is a leader of Taoism who rose again after the old Tianshi hid himself in the martial arts world. Before Pei Xuanjing rose, Zhenwu Sect was in charge of Taoism in the world and gave orders to various Taoist sects, and almost no one dared to disobey.
Although the Taoist Qingxu has been very low-key in recent years due to Pei Xuanjing's rise, no one dares to underestimate him. Moreover, from the fact that he sent his junior brother to the Taoist temple to help Pei Xuanjing, it can be seen that he is very supportive of Pei Xuanjing and does not seem to worry about Pei Xuanjing's idea of unifying the Taoist sect.
Although it is not known whether Taoist Qingxu does not care about this matter or has other reliance, Taoist Xuanming knows clearly that he cannot be as calm as the other party.
The situation of the Chunyang Sect is even simpler. In fact, the Chunyang Sect should be called the Chunyang Sword Sect. There are not many disciples in the Chunyang Sect. In addition to practicing Taoism, they only practice a magic sword.
Such cultivators and warriors only have swords and Taoism in their hearts. They will not be disturbed by too many external things. They joined the Taoist Alliance just to follow the trend and did not participate in the affairs of the Taoist sect.
Therefore, the Chunyang Sect is actually the least worried about the influence of Pei Xuanjing.
As for the power of Bai Xiaosheng, not to mention that although the other party joined the Taoist Alliance, they are not Taoists at all. Even if Pei Xuanjing wants to join the Taoist Alliance, he will never be stupid enough to include those people under his command.
Even if there is such a situation, I believe that Bai Xiaosheng has enough trump cards or abilities to prevent and avoid this matter.
As for the remaining Taoist forces that joined later, there is no need to think too much. They originally belonged to the existence of the powerful forces of the Taoist. If Pei Xuanjing really wanted to unify the Taoist, it would be a good thing for them to think carefully.
It can be said that among the various forces in the Taoist Alliance today, Baiyun Temple is the one that is most affected and the one that is most worried.
"So, you want me to ask Brother Pei for you to test and see what he thinks?" Bai Xiaosheng looked at the other party and finally knew the other party's intention.
"Yes." Taoist Xuanming said bluntly.
This is the real purpose of his coming here today.
Bai Xiaosheng did not respond, but asked: "Then why don't you take the initiative to ask the other party? In my opinion, if you ask, Brother Pei will definitely not hide anything."
Based on his understanding of Pei Xuanjing, he is not a person who likes to play tricks and disdains to play tricks. If Taoist Xuanming comes to ask, Pei Xuanjing will definitely give him an answer.
Taoist Xuanming was silent for a long time, and then said solemnly: "To be honest, I am afraid and dare not ask directly."
Although he and Pei Xuanjing are very close, as Pei Xuanjing's strength continues to improve, in fact, few people can confidently treat Pei Xuanjing as an equal.
Strength is respected, and strength is a person's confidence. The strong can lower their posture, but the weak cannot take it for granted.
When his strength has gradually failed to keep up with the other party and has been far surpassed by the other party, even if he knows that Pei Xuanjing will not have a high posture, Taoist Xuanming also knows his position. He does not really think that he is now in an equal dialogue with the other party.
Especially now, what he wants to ask may not be worth mentioning in Pei Xuanjing's eyes, but it is important to him and the entire Baiyun Temple.
