The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each generation becomes stronger than the last.
Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth.
The arena has always been a place for young people. Although the older generation of martial arts masters have been able to remain in the martial arts world, they must have their own merits. However, there has always been a lack of young talents in the world, so there will always be young people who suddenly rise to prominence.
Even if there are no young heroes in your sect, there will definitely be young heroes in other places and other sects.
The dispute between the four major families in the Jianghu has been going on for more than thirty years, nearly forty years, since Sheng Lingren founded the temple more than thirty years ago.
Sheng Lingren is the youngest among the four heads of families in the world, and the last one to rise to prominence.
Today, more than thirty years later, Tang Mugong, Ren Xiaoyao and Gui Daozi are all over seventy, while Gui Daozi is in his prime, and his martial arts must have just reached its peak.
Tang Mugong, Ren Xiaoyao and Gui Daozi are all over fifty, and in their seventies, no matter how brave and powerful they are, they will definitely not be able to run rampant in the world for too long.
In the martial arts world, many young people have risen rapidly, and their martial arts progress has made them very capable of catching up with their senior masters.
For example, Tianxingjian Kuangxiao Yuege is at his peak at this time. In his thirties, he is younger than his predecessors and more mature than his juniors. Both seniors and contemporaries have to admit that he is the young talent most likely to succeed Ren Xiaoyao as the world's number one master. Hu Daiwei, a martial artist who was similar in age to him, slightly competed with him, but Hu Daiwei also believed that he was not the right one for Laughing at the Moon Song.
Another example is Wu Xing, Huang Jishan, Baoli, Oumu and others, whose martial arts have not yet reached their peak, and for a while they did not have the capital to compete with Kuangxiao Yuege.
Tang Mugong, Ren Xiaoyao and Gui Daozi are similar in age and have been running rampant in the world for decades. They all have a vague feeling that the time for them to withdraw from the world is coming soon.
This is not because their martial arts are no longer good, but because heroes are no match for old age. No matter how powerful they are, it is impossible to withstand the baptism of time. When one day you find that your hair and beard are all white and your bones are thin, you will know what "time destroys you".
Therefore, Tang Mugong, Ren Xiaoyao and Gui Daozi are all already looking for successors for themselves. At their age, it is impossible not to find a successor for themselves. In fact, they all acquiesced to one thing. Perhaps these anti-Japanese conferences might be the last time they would confront each other as the leaders of the four major sects of Jianghu. Therefore, the success or failure of this battle will directly affect the future structure of the world.
Among them, the four major families in Jianghu, who wins and who loses, who wins and who loses, all look at this move.
After this battle, maybe the world no longer belongs to them.
Tang Mugong has secretly selected Wei Yan and wants this little girl to succeed him as the head of the Tang Sect. Although the Tang sect has been established for hundreds of years, there has been almost no precedent for a woman with a foreign surname to be the head of the sect, but Tang Mugong wanted to set this precedent. He probably did this out of desperation. He also saw that since the death of his eldest son Tang Siji, none of his four sons has become a great person. Originally, he first fell in love with this silly boy in Tang Zhong. Although he was a fool, he had some great wisdom and foolishness. Moreover, he had no one to teach him martial arts. He had reached a very high level just by practicing with his cousins. This is enough to show that he has many unknown talents.
In addition, he also has a very understanding wife, Wei Yan, so Tang Zhong is the person he thinks is most suitable to succeed him. However, God was against talents, and Tang Zhong was no longer there, so Tang Mugong could only retreat and let Wei Yan, who knew more about things, take his place. The only problem now is that Wei Yan's martial arts is too weak and her qualifications are not enough. If she becomes the head of the Tang Sect, it may be difficult to convince the public.
Ren Xiaoyao also found his most suitable candidate, his disciple Huang Jishan. During the great war, eight out of ten of his disciples had been wiped out, and no one could take over his position. Fortunately for the Xiaoyao Sect, one of his disciples and grandchildren turned out to be an extraordinary genius, Huang Jishan. Huang Jishan is not only smart and low-key, but also highly skilled in martial arts. Most importantly, he is calm enough. The only thing that worried him was that Huang Jishan's current martial arts also encountered the same problem of free and easy dispersion that he had back then. Moreover, Ren Xiaoyao told Huang Jishan the method he had figured out back then, but it didn't work at all. Ren Xiaoyao had no choice but to pray that Huang Jishan could survive the catastrophe.
Perhaps, young talents like Wu Xing and Huang Jishan can only have the opportunity to become true masters in the world only by relying on their own abilities to overcome the catastrophes in their lives.
People, after all, still have to rely on themselves.
Kidaozi is also looking for his successor. In fact, the most suitable person in his mind is his great disciple Gui Yi. But Gui Yi's character is very different from his own, and he is often soft-hearted and cannot be ruthless in doing things. Ghost Daozi also never expected that his disciple Ghost Yi, who had been growing up with him, would betray him. Without Gui Yi, Gui Daozi could only settle for second best, and could only regard Gui Er as his successor. Because in comparison, among the few remaining disciples of Gui Daozi, only Gui Ershaozhou is more reliable, and his martial arts is also the highest.
Among the four major families in Jianghu, the youngest one is actually the Sheng Ling of the temple. He became famous in the world in his teens, founded the Horse Temple in his twenties, and became a master as famous as Ren Xiaoyao, Tang Mugong, Ghost Daozi and other predecessors. He was the youngest, so no one would have thought that in the end, the temple would be the first to change its head.
Sheng Zhiqiang was not originally Sheng Lingren's first choice. His first choice was his adopted son Sheng Moming. Although Sheng was inexplicably his adopted son, he always regarded him as his own son and always trusted him very much. Obviously, Sheng Lingren did not despise him because Sheng was inexplicably soft-hearted at times. On the contrary, he thinks that it is exactly his son's merits. Moreover, he always believed that his adopted son Sheng Mingmei was often the successor who looked most like him.
If something hadn't happened to Sheng Lingren suddenly, he would have asked his eldest son Sheng to deal with the Tang clan inexplicably. He didn't want his eldest son Sheng Zhiqiang to keep secrets and not be clean enough. In the end, the fifth line would trace the clues and end up in jail. If Sheng hadn't made an appointment with Prince Xiao in advance, I'm afraid Sheng Lingren wouldn't be able to survive at all.
Relatively speaking, the emperor and Prince Xiao were kind enough. They did not kill Sheng Lingren for being such a rebel, but just imprisoned him for the last time.
Being alive is better than being dead.
Only when you are alive can you have hope.
In fact, Sheng Lingren has always thought so. Of course, he still doesn't know why the emperor and Prince Xiao showed mercy to him.
However, no one expected that Sheng Zhiqiang would suddenly appear in Xiaoyaomen tonight, and his martial arts would be so strong.
Sheng Zhiqiang did not come alone, but with three people.
On the left and right sides of Sheng Zhiqiang, there were two beauties, one was Xiao Yurong and the other was Nong Lingyu.
"Jade-faced lady, is it you?" Mrs. Mei Yun met her enemy again. They have been enemies all their lives.
"Qu Qingwei, you finally took that evil path!" Shen Lingyu sneered while leaning on Sheng Zhiqiang's shoulder.
"Haha! Isn't it the same for you? You are still hanging out with young people when you are already young? You are shameless!" Master Mei Yun scolded.
"Hey! I'm just a nobody in the world. But you are different. You are the head of the Emei Sect. Now that the head of the Emei Sect has also entered the devil's way, isn't there going to be bloodshed in the world?" Jade-Faced Lady Shen Lingyu said with great disdain.
"Who is this person?" Everyone thought there were three people, but unexpectedly, another person suddenly appeared behind Sheng Zhiqiang, a younger girl, Shen Lingyu's daughter, Qi Xiaoling.
"Xiaoling? You mother and daughter..." Master Mei Yun saw Qi Xiaoling suddenly sticking her head out from behind Sheng Zhiqiang, and she couldn't believe her eyes, as if she understood something immediately.
Master Mei Yun no longer dared to say anything, because even he couldn't believe that Shen Lingyu would do such a thing to a woman for her own benefit.
Although Mrs. Mei Yun has always had a grudge against Shen Lingyu, she is actually pretty good to Qi Xiaoling, at least she has no prejudice against her. But she never imagined that Qi Xiaoling's mother would harm her own daughter.
Master Mei Yun knew that Qi Xiaoling had always been well-behaved and would never hang out with a money-hungry and lustful person like Sheng Zhiqiang. But now Qi Xiaoling's eyes seemed to be enjoying herself very much, as if now was the happiest time in the world for her.
Obviously, Master Mei Yun knew that this was not Qi Xiaoling's nature, and that Sheng Zhiqiang or Shen Lingyu must have done something to him.
"How could you deal with Xiaoling like this?" Master Mei Yun couldn't help but ask.
"This is my family matter, you don't need to worry about it." Shen Lingyu retorted.
"Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. If you do this, there will be retribution." Master Mei Yun said.
"The same goes for you! As the head of the Emei Sect, if you use your disciples to practice evil skills, you will still have retribution." Shen Lingyu said.
"Lord Sheng, what are you here for?" Gui Daozi finally couldn't help but ask.
"Let me help you!" Sheng Zhiqiang replied.
"It seems that your martial arts have improved very quickly recently." Gui Daozi looked down on Sheng Zhiqiang in the past because his martial arts was too poor, but now he can suddenly compete with Master Mei Yun. Obviously, his martial arts has already surpassed that of Master Mei Yun. He has reached his own level and is progressing so fast that it is unimaginable.
