Chapter 2193 - 2152: Kaoshan Sect and Linshui Sect

While the boy disciple was amazed by Wang Xiaoqiang, Xue Tiancheng's explanation also ended. He concluded, saying, "Little Qiang, these are the rules of the Outer Sect of our Kaoshan Sect."

During the explanation, Wang Xiaoqiang heard Xue Tiancheng say that the Kaoshan Sect was only a Second-Level Sect, and his heart stirred. He suddenly asked, "Master, what level is the Linshui Sect?"

Xue Tiancheng raised an eyebrow at the words and stared at Wang Xiaoqiang, his gaze revealing suspicion and vigilance. He said, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Seeing Xue Tiancheng's face change dramatically upon hearing the words Linshui Sect, Wang Xiaoqiang's heart also skipped a beat. He said, "Uh, the other day I passed by the Linshui Sect and saw it was very large, seemingly bigger than our Kaoshan Sect. I thought the Linshui Sect might be of a higher level than us, right?"

Xue Tiancheng's expression changed again upon hearing this, and he stared at Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "The Linshui Sect is a Third-Level Sect. By the way, Little Qiang, why didn't you join the Linshui Sect and instead chose the Kaoshan Sect...?"

Seeing Xue Tiancheng's complicated expression and the suspicion in his eyes, Wang Xiaoqiang was also apprehensive. He thought to himself that there must be a grudge between the Kaoshan Sect and Linshui Sect, and Xue Tiancheng seemed to suspect his identity, but he couldn't be sure. So he said, "Uh, I think the Kaoshan Sect is better, at least it's more free."

The suspicion in Xue Tiancheng's eyes hadn't dissipated. He kept staring at Wang Xiaoqiang and said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, tell the truth, what is your relation with the Linshui Sect?"

As he spoke, Xue Tiancheng waved his hand, and a miniature mountain appeared above his head out of nowhere. With a wave of his hand gesture, the small mountain suddenly moved above Wang Xiaoqiang's head. Though it was just toy-sized, it brought a heavy pressure of thousands of pounds, making Wang Xiaoqiang unable to move his entire body and even breathe smoothly.

Wang Xiaoqiang's face was flushed red, and his eyes protruded. If it weren't for his powerful physical body cultivation, he might have already been crushed into a pulp by that miniature mountain.

"Speak, are you a spy sent by the Linshui Sect?" At this point, Xue Tiancheng's face completely changed, becoming dark and terrifying, hideous and dreadful, filled with a murderous aura.

"No." Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly laughed, "Haha, Master, you're so funny. If I were a spy sent by the Linshui Sect, why would I be so high-profile? Spies need to hide themselves, stay low-key at all times. Being low-key is the way of a spy. Master, you actually suspect I'm a spy, aren't you being too sensitive?"

Xue Tiancheng's face turned somewhat red upon hearing this. Indeed, if Wang Xiaoqiang were a spy sent by the Linshui Sect, he would definitely keep a low profile, hide his identity, and quietly gather intelligence. How could he be so high-profile in killing Tu Dalong and other Flying Gang members...

Xue Tiancheng was also slightly embarrassed by his actions, but he did not remove the miniature mountain from above Wang Xiaoqiang's head. Instead, he released his divine sense, scanning Wang Xiaoqiang over and over, circling around him, scrutinizing him closely, and continued to press, "If you admit now, I can spare your life. If you don't admit, I'll take your life immediately."

"Hahaha," Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly laughed again, "Alright, I'll tell you. Actually, I did enter the Linshui Sect and was almost a disciple there, even almost became Du Shuiyue's son-in-law..."

When Wang Xiaoqiang said this, Xue Tiancheng's face changed dramatically, bewildered, and he was even more unwilling to let him go.

Wang Xiaoqiang continued, "It's because Du Shuiyue is an ungrateful person, someone who repays kindness with ingratitude. I saved his daughter Du Lingfei, and not only did he not repay the kindness, he even drove me out of the Linshui Sect and sent people to kill me..."

Upon hearing Wang Xiaoqiang say that Du Shuiyue was someone who repaid kindness with ingratitude, Xue Tiancheng's expression softened a bit. It was because of Du Shuiyue's ingratitude that the Kaoshan Sect and Linshui Sect formed an irresolvable deep enmity.

Hundreds of years ago, the Kaoshan Sect and Linshui Sect were originally one sect called Mountain and Water Sect. The Sect Master of Mountain and Water Sect was originally surnamed Du and named Du Heng,

Du Heng had only one son named Du Xiongshan. Because Du Xiongshan had very poor cultivation aptitude, Du Heng feared that his son would be unable to undertake the sect's grand plan in the future, so he adopted a son,

This son was named Du Shuiyue. Later, Du Heng was ambushed and seriously injured in a duel of hatred. On his deathbed, he instructed that the position of Sect Master be passed to his son Du Xiongshan, asking the adopted son Du Shuiyue to assist Du Xiongshan,

Unexpectedly, after Du Xiongshan died, Du Shuiyue immediately turned hostile, disregarded Du Heng's nurturing kindness, and directly contested the position of Sect Master with Du Xiongshan,

In terms of both talent and acquired state cultivation, Du Shuiyue was much stronger than Du Xiongshan. Unable to defeat Du Shuiyue, Du Xiongshan resolutely withdrew and gave Mountain and Water Sect to Du Shuiyue,

Some of Du Heng's confidant disciples, unwilling to accept Du Shuiyue, followed Du Xiongshan and left Mountain and Water Sect,

Mountain and Water Sect had two sect-defining techniques named Heroic Mountain Technique and Soft Water Technique,

Even though Du Shuiyue was not Du Heng's biological son, Du Heng treated him as his own. Before his death, Du Heng passed these two sect-defining techniques to his two sons. Du Xiongshan inherited the Heroic Mountain Technique, and Du Shuiyue inherited the Soft Water Technique.

After mastering the Heroic Mountain Technique, Du Xiongshan, together with Du Heng's confidant disciples, founded the Kaoshan Sect, while Du Shuiyue, fearing the world would call him ungrateful, renamed Mountain and Water Sect to Linshui Sect,

In fact, Linshui Sect is Mountain and Water Sect, while Kaoshan Sect was newly founded by Du Xiongshan. It's normal for its power to be weaker than Linshui Sect, so Linshui Sect is a Third-Level Sect, and Kaoshan Sect is only a Second-Level Sect.

They were originally brothers, born of the same sect and lineage, but now, they have become enemies.

Du Shuiyue is powerful, and the reason he hasn't destroyed Du Xiongshan is mainly because he's afraid of being called ungrateful for repaying kindness with enmity. Moreover, Du Xiongshan has the Heroic Mountain Technique with him, his strength is unfathomable, and he has many of Du Heng's strong confidant disciples protecting him, making Du Shuiyue dare not act recklessly,

Although the two major sects seem to get along peacefully now, undercurrents are surging, and both sides want to swallow each other and are highly vigilant and guarded against each other,

In the Kaoshan Sect, no one dares to mention the word Linshui Sect; it is taboo,

So when Wang Xiaoqiang mentioned Linshui Sect, Xue Tiancheng was so nervous.

"What you said, is it true?" Xue Tiancheng still didn't quite believe Wang Xiaoqiang.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask around. There should be rumors in the Martial World. At the foot of Black Mountain, I saved Du Lingfei from the Four Thieves of Black Mountain, and then I went with Du Lingfei to the Linshui Sect. If Du Shuiyue were grateful, how would I be in Kaoshan Sect now?"

Xue Tiancheng waved his hand, removing the miniature mountain pressing on Wang Xiaoqiang's head,

What he had just used was the Heroic Mountain Technique,

Unlike Du Shuiyue's petty nature, Du Xiongshan was broad-minded and exceptionally generous. He passed the non-publicly taught sect-defining technique, the Heroic Mountain Technique, to his father's confidant disciples. Among Du Heng's confidant disciples was Xue Tiancheng, so Xue Tiancheng learned the Heroic Mountain Technique.
