Martial Hero Rebirth

Chapter 228: Five Mountain Swords Sect

“Master Jingxuan, you are clearly tired from the journey,” Lin Yi said with a kind smile. “This disciple will take you to a palace where you can rest.”

“Senior aunts and Hengshan sisters, please follow me,” the named disciple immediately invited everyone.

The nuns, modestly lowering their heads, followed him.

“Big Brother Lin,” Yiqian winked as she passed by and smiled playfully.

Lin Yi smiled at her carefreely, like a grandfather to his granddaughter..

Less than an hour later, representatives from the other three sects arrived. The deafening greeting at the Huashan Gate sounded again, fireworks prepared for the three sect masters flew into the sky.

Everyone appreciated such a solemn greeting with joyful smiles.

Lin Yi met each of the arriving delegations and escorted them all to rest - now personally, since no new guests were expected.

Five factions gathered on one mountain and discussions about uniting the Alliance began.

Early in the morning of the second day, everyone stood with worried expressions on their faces. They waited for news, looking at Huashan Hall from a short distance.

Right now it was being decided whether the five sects would become united as they once were or not.

Inside the hall, Lin Yi stood at the door and looked at the hill occupied by the five Sect Masters.

“Uncle Mo, Uncle Zheng, Uncle Lu, Aunt Xuan, and Master,” he bowed to them.

The five sect masters nodded, smiling faintly. But this sublime facial expression was necessary only to hide real emotions and thoughts.

The most important day has arrived for the five sects of the Alliance. Lin Yi, the chief disciple of the Five Mountain Swords, was supposed to discuss the plan to unite with the heads of the sects.

Obviously, all five sects wanted unification, but difficulties began further. Everyone wanted the interests of his sect to be placed as high as possible. Therefore, the essence of the meeting was not the unification itself, but the discussion of a strategy that all those present would consider quite beneficial for themselves. And after all that Lin Yi had achieved over the past year, they were very interested in hearing his suggestions..

“Five masters. Now that the demons have returned to the Central Plains and the war between the righteous and the wicked has flared up again, the Five Sects Alliance must unite for the common good. Nobody has any objections to the merger?”

Lin Yi stood in front of them with his back straightened proudly.

The five heads nodded in agreement with the plan. Obviously, everyone wanted this, especially now, having found a safe harbor in the lands of Huashan.

“Okay,” concluded Lin Yi. “Since everyone agrees with this, then let’s move on to discussing the unification itself. I propose to create a committee of the Five Mountain Swords Sect, the five seats of which will be filled by you, the five masters. Thus, all decisions of the Alliance can be immediately discussed and accepted at once for everyone.”

Lin Yi suggested that they keep all power in their hands, so they unanimously accepted this idea.

As for where to create a building to house the committee, then everyone already disagreed.

Songshan and Southern Hengshan wanted to create a new hall, while Northern Hengshan and Taishan stood to use the top of one of the sects' mountains. Ouyang Ming smiled but did not express an opinion.

Then Lin Yi voiced his proposal:

“Since we cannot come to a common decision, I believe that the five sects should remain as they are. In this way, the interests of no sect will be violated.”

This made the unification purely formal, but it created a basis for the future and allowed us to start working on changes.

Lin Yi predicted this outcome in advance, so he immediately moved on to the next points:

“First. It is necessary to create a team to maintain order, the main one in it will be me, five captains, Linghu Feng and each of the main disciples of your sects will come under my direct leadership. Fifty true disciples in each team and another fifty from us for emergencies to maintain order, making a total force of three hundred and six people. We will be responsible for responding quickly and protecting against evil cults. Wherever a gap appears, one or more units will be able to close it.” ꞦάℕöᛒÊs

“Second. Each of your sects should copy the Huashan teaching model. Our students will teach you discipline and pass on my work on creating sword formations for each of the sects, which will turn them all into real legionnaires. You saw the benefit of this on the way here..”

“Third. Schools must be built throughout the entire Alliance, and the bandits must be exterminated. This is an extremely expensive project, I understand, but its benefits are immeasurable..”

“Fourth. I propose to create the “Five Mountain Swords Library”, which will store the supreme techniques of the five factions. All students of the highest courts of the Alliance will have access to it.”

The first three proposals were unanimously accepted, but on the fourth they looked at each other uncertainly. No matter how great the benefit, these were the main, defining treasures of their sects.

Finally, Northern Hengshan and Taishan agreed, with a footnote, that they would open their libraries in Huashan and each other, in exchange for the same favor. However, Lin Yi shook his head and objected that in this way the Alliance would be divided, so it was better to postpone the issue until it was decided unanimously.

The masters agreed to this.

Then a discussion of details began and gradually the plan to unite the Alliance began to move.

Although implementation was still a long way off, the five sects officially declared themselves one.

When Lin Yi left the doors of the discussion hall, five masters came out at the same time and announced to their disciples that their sects were now truly united.

Shouts of joy were heard everywhere. Their sects once again became a force comparable to Shaolin and Mount Wudang!

This news raised the morale of all five sects. The students felt the happiness of unity. Finally, the fraternal sects were officially united, which meant that they were no longer fighting alone, the said alliance had turned into a cohesive team!

There was a completely different reaction among the demons. Many commanders immediately ordered a retreat, as if they were afraid that the Huashan armies would emerge from the ground and kill them all.

The Alliance was not ready for war, and the demons were not ready for the decisive battle. While they were simply plundering and establishing their power, they lacked the logistics for prolonged battles.

Well, now they were afraid that five supreme experts would confront them at once. One at a time, they can still be defeated, but when the Alliance is united, there is a great power behind it - perhaps the greatest in the Central Plains.

Therefore, the demons temporarily retreated from their territories in order to better prepare for battle, and at this time they put more pressure on Shaolin and Wudang, unexpectedly plunging them into the misfortunes of war.

Even the two largest factions could not cope with such pressure without losses. Their sphere of influence was bitten off piece by piece, either by exterminating allied sects and destroying branches, or by winning people over to their side.

Most of the small sects in their territory were killed and the intensity of the war in the Central Plains increased significantly..

Lin Yi expected this already on the first day, but he was not very worried about the fate of those who gave everyone else to feed the wolves.

On the day of the Alliance's unification, he drank with the others. Even the modest nuns did not refuse the holiday, although they sat with red faces and drank more for show.

It was a good night.

But the very next morning, the heads of the sects hurried to their territories to begin the execution of the first phases of the plan..

One of them, one might say, has already been completed.

Each of the four sects left fifty true disciples on Mount Hua.

That same day, Lin Yi appeared before them wearing the robe of the chief disciple of the Five Mountain Swords..

“Big brother!” they greeted him in discord.

Lin Yi nodded, looking at Linghu Feng and the main disciples of the four sects.

Wu Shouyu and Yu Zecheng also joined the team made up of the most elite students, most of whom he remembered from his previous life.

How many talents were under his control?...
