It was the third day of March in the calendar year 2362 of Zhongzhou.
On that day, all the top forces in the Zhongzhou Zhengdao Wulin gathered at Baihua Island in Pinghai County to hold the Baihua Conference, aiming to resolve the disputes in recent years and get the Zhengdao Wulin back on track.
The two alliances of Jiuzhou and Sihai each have eight strong gangs. By comparing the strength of the gangs, and after many layers of competition, the leader of the martial arts alliance is determined.
The holding of the Hundred Flowers Conference was not unsatisfactory, but it did not start well and end well.
The new martial arts leader Feng Chen died suddenly before he could issue a leader order!
Unbelievable and suspicious, the righteous martial arts world has not yet merged into one, but they are once again fighting against each other under the impetus of the mastermind behind the scenes.
Fortunately, when the evil sect added fuel to the fire, the righteous martial arts world Rumeng, who was on the verge of collapse, temporarily put aside hatred and worked together to stop the loss in time.
Little did he know that just after the evil thieves had retreated, great changes were coming.
The imperial court actually labeled this Baihua Conference as a deliberate rebellion, and gathered two thousand elite soldiers on Baihua Island in order to bring justice to the Zhengdao Wulin!
That night.
For dignity, justice, and to vent his anger, the exhausted Zhengdao martial arts and the elite soldiers of the imperial court fought in a bloody battle all night, with both sides losing!
On the same night, several miles away, dozens of miles away, hundreds of miles away, no less than twenty mountain gates of the Kyushu Four Seas gangs were suddenly attacked by mysterious forces at almost the same time.
Thirteen of the sixteen gangs participating in the fight for the martial arts leader that day were on the list of people to be attacked.
The remaining three gangs that survived were Huajianzui, Ziyexuan and Hongchen Inn.
The reason why Huajianzui avoided this disaster is simple, because Huajianzui has no mountain gate, and Huajianzui is located in the busiest street of Youjing.
In other words, the most prosperous street in Youjing is also the mountain gate of Huajianzui. If you want to break into Huajianzui, it is no different from causing trouble at the entrance of the imperial court.
As for Ziyexuan and Hongchen Inn, they were not among them because the strength of these two gangs had not been noticed before the Hundred Flowers Conference.
Not noticed, so ignored.
What was not ignored were several other gangs that were supposed to join the martial arts alliance as strong gangs.
For example, the North and South Escort Bureau were defeated by Ziyexuan, such as Jiuzhou Wuyin Pavilion and Xuanwumen who always had the courage to confront Zangfeng Pavilion, such as Sihai Xingyao Village, which was once able to compete with Sha Haiwu in the sea salt business, and such as Jiuzhou Jianyun Pavilion, which dared to call itself a small "Jianmen", and Tingyu Pavilion, which had previously been eyeing by all the major forces in the world.
Nearly 90% of these gangs, which are among the top 30 in foreseeable strength among the Kyushu, Four Seas and Two Alliances, are the targets of surprise attacks by that mysterious force.
The remaining 10% that were not selected by chance were due to geographical limitations. This was true for Huajian Zui, and the same was true for Sun Moon Castle and Biluo Palace, which were thousands of miles away in the deep mountains and forests.
The results of the surprise attacks on these twenty gangs can be roughly divided into three types.
One is to suffer a heavy blow.
The so-called severe damage means that there are a large number of casualties in the gang. The mainstay of the gang is either dead, injured or disabled. There is no one who cannot recover in three to five years, and no one who cannot regain his former glory in ten or eight years.
Among them are Qingtianzhong, Huanyue Palace, and Shahaiwu from the Kyushu Alliance, as well as Fengmingxuan and Tulongge from the Four Seas Alliance. These five gangs may no longer be able to maintain their original strong status in the world.
One is to be brutally wiped out.
The word "annihilation" is not uncommon in this world. The strong bullies the weak, the big eats the small, and the new replaces the old. This is the most authentic world.
In just twenty years, the number of gangs that have been exterminated is not less than five hundred, not to mention hundreds or thousands.
However, overnight, many powerful gangs were wiped out, including Juyi Villa, Wuyin Pavilion, Xuanwumen, Sou Shen Temple, North and South Escort Bureau and other thirteen gangs that had become famous in the past few decades, which was shocking to the world.
Of course, this mysterious force is not invincible.
At least in front of the seven gangs of Xiaoyue League, Crescent League, Zui Hongyan, Tingyu Pavilion, Zangfeng Pavilion, Zhushen Temple, and Sanrenju, this mysterious force has been frustrated to varying degrees, and can only die in disgrace. escape.
The third result is to not move at all.
Not moving does not mean that there are no losses at all, but these losses are insignificant compared to the losses of the entire Zhengdao Wulin.
Zhengdao Wulin has been preparing for a Hundred Flowers Conference for a year and a half. Naturally, the preparations were not limited to the battle for the Wulin leader that day, but also made numerous preparations to deal with all kinds of emergencies.
Otherwise, when there was chaos in Wujianping that day, how could anyone come to the rescue quickly?
Otherwise, how could he fight bloody battles with the elite soldiers of the imperial court for a whole night when his strength and spirit were exhausted?
It's just that the development after the Hundred Flowers Conference was far beyond the expectations of most righteous people.
As the saying goes, the devil is as high as the Tao. The evil demon sect has buried enough secret moves in the righteous martial arts for an unknown period of time in order to attack today, so that it can take advantage of the righteous martial arts without any effort. When he reacted, he stabbed him several times in the back, causing chaos and causing trouble.
Coupled with the intervention of other forces, after that day, the Zhengdao Wulin seemed to have been cut in the middle, losing at least half of its vitality.
As for the role played by the imperial court in this, the entire world is kept secretive.
The elite soldiers of the imperial court who came in the name of encircling and suppressing the rebels were composed of orthodox imperial elite regiments with roots in Miaohong, local specially trained elite troops led by former imperial military generals, and marginal martial arts people recruited temporarily. Over the years, the imperial court has seen It seems that he always relies on the evil demon sect to control the affairs of the world, but in fact he has cultivated a flexible combat power that can compete head-on with the gangs and alliances of the world.
In one night, more than 20 gang sects appeared, 13 gangs were wiped out, and five of them were seriously injured. Only 30% of the manpower cost was paid. Looking at the entire Zhongzhou, no matter whether it is the righteous martial arts or the evil demon sect, not a single gang even The Bangmeng has such strong combat and organizational capabilities, so this seems to be the only answer.
The plans and intentions of those in power should not be left to speculation by a bunch of reckless people. However, since the matter is already personal, can it still be left high and dry?
Zhongzhou is a big country with a vast territory and rich products. Countries on the border have coveted it for hundreds of thousands of years. It is understandable for the court to train and strengthen its troops. But when the empire's sharp weapon is not directed outwards, but inwards, It can no longer be ignored.
Therefore, the entire martial arts world is focused on that mysterious force.
That mysterious force only targets strong men, because the weak have no weight in the martial arts world, and without weight they are easy to control.
That mysterious force seems to be declaring war on the entire martial arts world, and it also seems to be cautiously testing.
Their purpose is clear, their tactics are clear, their division of labor is orderly, their advance and retreat are decisive, and every step of their actions is done without delay.
After many years of training, they formed a team of ten people and a group of thirty people. They were equipped with weird but extremely sophisticated weapons. Although they are not martial arts masters, they can attack together and their strength can break gold!
They not only appeared in front of the mountain gates of the more than 20 gangs, but also appeared in the ambush outside Baihua Island to support the various gangs who came to help. They also appeared in Qingshui Valley in an ambush and attempted to kill everyone in the Bunji Island eggs.
No one knows their origins, or no one can find out their origins, but as mentioned before, anyone with a brain can understand that this mysterious force of nearly a thousand people should Where to belong.
Therefore, this mysterious force has not been given any specific name by Jianghu people. It is only spread word of mouth as "that group of people" to avoid being caught by the pigtails and accused of rebellion, which would cause unreasonable disasters.
Of course, the distance between the court and the rivers and lakes cannot be smoothed out so easily, especially in the past hundred years, the court has tended to decline, while the rivers and lakes have become increasingly prosperous.
One day and one night at the Hundred Flowers Conference, the righteous martial arts world suffered a setback, but it was not completely defeated.
After all, that group of people hit a wall at Crescent League, Zui Hongyan, Tingyuge, and Sanrenju.
It is not difficult to infer other conclusions based on this.
For example, the New Moon Alliance is not as weak as it appeared when it was easily defeated by Feng Mingxuan at the Hundred Flowers Conference.
The strength shown by Zui Hongyan and Sanren Residence is more consistent with the comments on these two gangs in the world. The low-key and harmonious nature in daily life does not mean that they can be manipulated by others.
In recent years, Tingyu Pavilion, which has caused the most headache in the entire martial arts world, lives up to its name. It is indeed like the Hongchen Inn that appeared at the Hundred Flowers Conference. It has enough strength to make every sect in the world fearful.
Compared with the relatively successful retreat from these four gangs, 10% of the three people lost in this surprise attack were killed by the Xiaoyue Alliance, the Gods of Gods, and the Zangfeng Pavilion.
The Xiaoyue Alliance is undoubtedly one of the gangs that attaches great importance to this Hundred Flowers Conference. It is led by the alliance leader Feng Chen, a guardian, two elders and four altar leaders are here. It can be said that there are all the elites.
Even so, when the mysterious force launched a surprise attack involving thirty people, in just half a cup of tea, they hurriedly retreated, and less than ten people escaped with their lives.
Among the various temples, the Yang God Tantai Mingyang is in charge, and there are also ten gods waiting in the temple. Thirty people have left the mysterious force, and only ten people are left alive.
And the Zangfeng Pavilion’s great formation, run by You Xian, the deputy master of the Zangfeng Pavilion, “showed its sharp edge” and killed all the mysterious forces who were also numbering thirty!
On this day and night, Zhengdao Wulin suffered a heavy defeat, but was not defeated, and its strength still existed. However, due to the situation, after that night, Zhengdao Wulin had to reach a compromise with the court on the so-called "rebellion":
No more alliances, let's forget bygones.
From prosperity to chaos, the two alliances in Kyushu and Four Seas had been turbulent for more than thirty years. Finally, when the smoke disappeared, the Daoyi Alliance became silent, and no one dared to mention the word "Martial Arts Alliance Leader".
The original structure of the entire arena was shattered into pieces.
Scattering means weakening, and it is extremely easy to be defeated one by one.
All factions, including the evil demon sect, are secretly in danger and have secretly formed alliances in order to take care of each other.
How long this situation can last seems to depend on the court's face.
At the Hundred Flowers Conference, the imperial court held a historic "meeting" with Jianghu gangs in two ways, one overt and the other covertly.
On the bright side, establish authority.
The dark side, temptation.
It seems to be a declaration that the imperial court is no longer the court that mediates and acts as a peacemaker or takes advantage of various political forces, but is the true overlord of Zhongzhou.
The current world is far from chaotic compared to five years ago, but compared to a year ago, it is eerily quiet and fragile.
After the noisy storm, this tranquility seems fragile. It seems that as long as one more thunder hits, the fragile world will completely collapse!
…
…
Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei knew nothing about the rivers and lakes outside the valley.
There was no time to think too much for the time being, because Jiang Yichen was now in a new predicament.
Are being bruised and bruised in new difficulties!
