There were only four days left before the martial arts alliance, and all the martial arts sects were preparing for the school competition, so they all rushed to Ruozhou a few days in advance to rest nearby and recharge their batteries.
There have not been many previous battles between the top masters, and no one is sure of winning in a single battle, and no one wants to suffer a loss in the battle situation.
This martial arts alliance is very different from the past. Whether it is the participating martial arts forces, the number of masters, or the influence in the world, it is unprecedented. The momentum is much greater than in the past!
Even the imperial court got involved. Not only did they lavishly reward the twelve Wulin Alliance deacons and two chief and deputy leaders, they also spent a lot of money on the Wulin Alliance's daily needs. This was something that would never have been imagined in the past.
And among the sects competing for the martial arts leader and deputy leader this time, it seems that they are evenly matched. At least three or four parties think they have a good chance of winning.
According to this situation, they will inevitably have to start a life-and-death battle on the martial arts school grounds.
In the past hundred years, the leaders of the martial arts alliance have been jointly elected by several sects and people with high moral standards, and few people will stand up to fight for them. However, this time, Yufeng Escort Bureau, Suxin Palace, Ruozhou Xu Family, Yanbang, Liuzhuo Temple, Kuchan Temple, and even Lingyan Pavilion, Xuanzhou Yan Family and Zhenwu Temple, who rarely walked around the world, all overtly and covertly They started to move around, and it was obvious that they had all participated in the competition for the positions of leader and deputy leader.
"Haha, there are two Taoist brothers passing by. It will not be easy for the Xu family and the Yan Gang to reach the top of the Wulin League!" After learning the purpose of Zhenwu Temple, Yan Qinhe couldn't help but laugh.
Zhan Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master Yan is so complimentary. Zhenwu Guan really deserves it."
He looked at the two of them with a look of embarrassment on his face. He paused for a while and then said: "If the master is here, then of course nothing will happen. Neither the Xu family nor the Yan Gang will be worried. It's just that the old man doesn't know Wherever Yunyou went, no one was seen until now. And now in the Zhenwu Temple, when talking about martial arts, Zhan is the junior brother, senior brother Zhan Qian and Pindao are slightly higher. Senior brother Zhan Qian is seventy years old and has been suffering from hidden injuries. , no matter we face Xu Suye or Xu Xiaoshi from the Xu family, we have little chance of winning. Although Junior Brother Zhanwei and I can fight against Xu Xiaoyu and Xu Xiaoyi, we are not sure of winning. As for the Salt Gang, , except for Zhang Suiguang and Shi Yinheng, there are no other top players. I predict that Zhang Suiguang will definitely find an outsider to form an alliance to fight. In this way, if he wants to win two out of three games, he must win the outsider and Zhang Suiguang and One of Shi Yinheng. Zhang and Shi’s skills are obvious to both of them. As two of my brothers, I have no confidence that I will defeat one of them."
Yi Qilin nodded and sighed solemnly: "The Salt Gang has formed an alliance with Lingyan Pavilion, and Wu Qingsong will fight for the Salt Gang in one of the battles."
"Wu Qingsong? It's him?" Zhan Wei shouted softly, "This Mr. Wu Da is not only bad-tempered, but also has great martial arts skills. I rarely visited Panzhou eight years ago and never gave Lingyan Pavilion a call on herbal medicine. When we got to Panshan Mountain, the old man found out and couldn't help but want to fight me. Haha, his dust-repelling palm and leaf-twisting fingers are indeed exquisite, and I was almost defeated."
"Brother Zhanwei actually fought against him?" Yan Qinhe asked softly, "I wonder..."
Naturally, he wanted to ask Zhan Wei what his chances of winning were if he faced Wu Qingsong again, but he couldn't ask directly.
"Haha, although that old man is good at martial arts, I'm not afraid of him. I don't dare to say that he will win. There is always a 60% chance of victory." Zhan Wei replied with a smile.
Zhan Ming nodded and said seriously: "It turns out that he is your old rival. This is an opportunity. If so, it happens that you can fight against Wu Qingsong, and I will fight against Zhang Suiguang!"
The Jianghu masters only knew that Zhang Suiguang was extremely skilled in martial arts, but few had ever fought against him. Zhan Ming had no idea about this inevitable battle.
"Xu Xiaoyu, Xu Xiaoyi, Zhang Suiguang, and Shi Yinheng are all top-notch masters. We can only fight one by one." Zhan Ming said in a deep voice, "The emperor's life is on my side. You and I will try our best to organize The Xujiahe Salt Gang has no choice but to fight to the death!"
Yi Qilin and Yan Qinhe both felt his determination and couldn't help but stand in awe.
"Master, my junior uncle is here!"
Zhi Lian trotted back to the "Shenque" where Zhenwu Temple had settled, shouting all the way.
Zhan Ming and Zhan Wei looked at each other with deep joy on their faces.
"Haha, this kid from the Mei family is here." Yi Qilin said happily to Yan Qinhe, "This kid's martial arts skills are definitely not inferior to Xu Suye's."
Yan Qinhe was startled and exclaimed, "Oh?"
While the two were talking to each other, Zhi Lian walked in. Seeing the two elders from the other sect, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Hello, Master Yi, Master Yan!"
After the ceremony, he bowed to Zhan Ming and Zhan Wei and reported: "Master, uncle, my little uncle has just arrived at Xu's house and rested in the 'menting' of Dongyuan."
He seemed to suddenly remember something, and added: "Oh, by the way, there is a masked woman in white with him, who is said to be the master of the Suxin Palace Jishi Hall who is healing the little master uncle."
"Brother Yi, Brother Yan, Zhan Wei and I are going to see our junior brother. Do you want to go with us?" Zhan Ming stood up from his seat and said to the two of them with a smile.
Yi Qilin also stood up and replied: "Brother Yan, let's go see him together. I don't know if his injury is better."
After speaking, the four of them followed Zhi Lian and walked quickly towards the "menting" where Mei Yuanchen and Yun Xiaoyang settled.
After the five people left, a man in gray clothes hurriedly ran away in the corridor outside the "Shenque".
... ...
"Have you looked carefully?" Zhang Suiguang pressed the rim of the wine jar with one hand and touched his knees with the other, staring closely at the man in gray in front of him and asked coldly.
The man in gray clothes felt a chill on the back of his head and replied hurriedly: "Yes, Gang Leader. I saw them heading towards Dongyuan with my own eyes."
"All four of you are gone?" Zhang Suiguang asked again.
"Back to the gang leader, I saw it clearly. There are five of them. Except for the little Taoist priest who led the way, the other four are Yi Qilin, Yan Qinhe, Zhan Ming and Zhan Wei. They can't be wrong."
Zhang Suiguang raised the wine jar, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Get off."
"Hate Hongchen, do you think Zhenwu Temple can really protect you? You have been destined to die since you rebelled against the Nine Halls!" After the man in gray left, Zhang Suiguang looked outside the courtyard and chuckled.
He wanted to kill Hongchen not only because she defected from Jiudian, but also because she knew that the real murderer in the Anxian Yanyun Government Bureau's massacre was Jiudian.
With such a big handle in her hands, how could Zhang Suiguang allow her to live, not to mention that she was in Ruozhou at the moment.
If he finally defeated the powerful ones and aspired to the Martial Arts League, but she revealed this at an inappropriate time, wouldn't he have wasted all his efforts and failed?
"Today is the day you die." Zhang Suiguang drank the remaining wine in the wine jar in one gulp, placed the wine jar on the tea table, jumped up, and disappeared in front of the courtyard door.
