Although the world is big, once there is any special news, it cannot be kept secret for long.
The Money Gang, Ghost Villa, Tangmen, Wenjiabao, Blackstone, and the remnants of Qingyi Tower failed to ambush the Xichang team but were all captured. Even the old master Shangguan Jinhong, who had been in the world for decades, fell because of this. After some people spread the news, , and soon spread throughout the world.
For a moment, the world was shaken, and countless people were shocked.
At first, some people doubted the authenticity of this matter, but after many inquiries and confirming the authenticity of this matter, the entire world fell silent.
After all, other things can be concealed, but when it comes to top forces such as the Money Gang, Wenjiabao, and Tang Clan, if they want to investigate, they can't hide it at all.
Especially the death of the leader of the Dragon and Phoenix Ring, who was second in Bai Xiaosheng's "Weapons Spectrum" and the leader of the Money Gang who had been in the world for decades. How could such a big thing be concealed?
Someone sneaked into the head of the Money Gang and found that there was indeed civil strife in the Money Gang. People were fighting every day to snatch property. However, no one from the top officials of the Money Gang, such as Shangguan Jinhong, Jing Wuming, and Zhuge Gang, came forward to take charge of the overall situation.
The Wenjiabao, Tangmen and other forces also closed their doors and were heavily guarded, making them look like they were facing a formidable enemy.
In this case, is there any need to doubt the authenticity of this matter?
After confirming that these situations were true, some of the originally lively and cheerful Jianghu forces suddenly stopped and started to keep their tails between their legs, keeping a low profile.
Even some criminal thieves who often commit crimes have become more honest.
For a time, throughout the Ming Dynasty, many cases involving Jianghu people suddenly decreased, and it was rare for chivalrous people to use force to break the law.
At the same time, the name of Xichangchang's public rain has also officially entered the eyes of countless forces in the Ming Dynasty.
After careful investigation, all the personal information of this Xichang factory owner was dug up by someone who was interested.
He was originally just a young eunuch in the East Factory, but he embraced the lap of Concubine Wan Guifei, the favorite concubine of the Ming Dynasty, and took this opportunity to become the Governor of the West Factory with one person under one person and more than ten thousand people, with the power of life and death for hundreds of civil and military officials.
It only took more than half a year to rise, but now it is a person who holds great power and can bully all officials. It is said that at this moment, the West Factory has the final say in the court, and the power of the East Factory has been under the control of the Governor of the West Factory. There was great pressure, and I was so suppressed that I couldn't even lift my head.
Moreover, I heard that a few days ago in the northwest desert, the national treasure of Dabai was revealed, which caused a fight between various forces. However, the treasure was eventually obtained by the owner of the West Factory.
Xichang brought the treasure back to the court, and Emperor Long Yan of Tianqi was delighted. Therefore, the Xichang Duke had a strong attachment to the sage and had a tendency to become the first person under the imperial power.
Various information shows that the rise of this Xichang factory owner is a legend in the eyes of many people.
Therefore, in addition to admiration, many people in the world also have a little fear and worry in their hearts.
After all, since ancient times, the court and the world have been incompatible.
Once the Jianghu martial arts flourishes, the imperial court will be more wary and concerned about the Jianghu, and its control over the Jianghu will be slightly weaker.
But once the imperial court becomes strong, it will inevitably suppress the Jianghu forces.
But now that the imperial court has such a strong and domineering figure, their lives will probably be difficult from now on.
In particular, some of the forces that had competed with Yuhuatian for treasures in the northwest desert, such as Wudang, Emei, Tianzun, Kongtong and other major sects, were having trouble sleeping and eating, fearing that Yuhuatian would suddenly come to their door and settle matters with them. Old accounts.
No matter how powerful the Jianghu sect is, it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the imperial court. After all, the imperial court has hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if they are piled up with people, they can be killed.
But there was no reason before, and the imperial court did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world and attack them for no reason.
And now that they have a handle, how could the imperial court miss this opportunity to eliminate them and suppress the Jianghu forces?
For a time, many forces were in panic all day long, and even some far-sighted forces had secretly transferred assets and forces, preparing for the worst in advance.
Just because of one person, the entire world was in turmoil, and undercurrents surged throughout the martial arts world. This was something that had never happened in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty.
Yuhuatian is a pioneer.
…
Of course, Yuhuatian naturally didn't know about these rumors.
And with his temperament, even if he knew, he wouldn't bother to pay attention.
After resolving the ambush by the Money Gang and other forces, he immediately led his people and rushed to the Songshan Shaolin Temple without stopping.
After seven days of running, he finally arrived at the foot of Songshan Mountain.
At this time, the entire Songshan Mountain was still surrounded by an army of more than 10,000 people. Ma Jinliang, the leader of the Xichang stall, was personally in charge of the central army.
Upon hearing the news that Yuhuatian had arrived, Ma Jinliang quickly brought people out to greet him:
"Subordinates, please see the Governor!"
After not seeing each other for many days, Ma Jinliang's aura became more profound and powerful, and it was obvious that his martial arts had reached a higher level.
Regardless of his martial arts skills, Ma Jinliang's current level of internal energy is probably on par with Ding Xiu's, and he is only one step away from reaching the master level.
Under Yu Huatian's command, including the Jin Yiwei, those who have reached this level at this moment include the third eunuch Ding Baiying, the fifth eunuch Zhao Long and the ninth eunuch Xiao Ce.
Once these people break through, the strength of Xichang and Jinyiwei will reach a higher level, which will also be a big help to Yuhuatian.
But Yuhuatian ignored these thoughts at the moment. He rode forward, looked up at the towering Song Mountain in front of him, and asked:
"What's the situation now?"
Hearing this, Ma Jinliang's eyes flashed with coldness and murderous intent, and he cupped his hands and said:
"Master Governor, Shaolin Temple rescued several Songshan Sect disciples and refused to hand them over. Their subordinates have led troops to blockade Songshan Mountain for many days, but Shaolin Temple has no intention of compromising and has never sent anyone down the mountain during this period."
Yuhuatian's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Have you sent someone to negotiate?"
"We negotiated at the beginning, and my subordinates have sent people to the mountain continuously in the past few days, but the Shaolin Temple ignored us at all." Ma Jinliang said coldly.
As soon as these words came out, Yuhuatian's eyes turned cold:
"It seems that they have been famous in the world for too long and have forgotten who is the king and who is the minister!"
The faces of many West Factory masters and Jin Yiwei behind them also showed cold expressions.
"Yan Shisan, you and Ma Jinliang go up the mountain again. I will give them another chance. If they don't hand over the people before the sun sets today, I will lead the army and massacre Shaolin!"
At this time, Yuhuatian looked at Yan Shisan and spoke again.
After all, Shaolin Temple is an established force that has been established in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. There are even rumors in the world that "the world's martial arts originated from Shaolin", which shows the strong martial arts foundation of Shaolin Temple.
There is no doubt that there must be a great master in Shaolin Temple, and there may be more than one.
Therefore, before breaking through to the Grand Master, Yuhuatian does not want to conflict with Shaolin if necessary, lest he be unable to step down.
If we attack the mountain directly, if a few great masters suddenly rush out from the Shaolin Temple, even if they are still unable to defeat the imperial army in the end, if the other party is determined to kill him, it may not be difficult.
Unless absolutely necessary, Yuhuatian doesn't want to go to this step and put himself in danger.
Everything needs to be planned and acted upon beforehand. Taking action directly without considering the consequences is what a reckless person would do.
"yes!"
When Ma Jinliang heard this, he immediately understood Yuhuatian's concerns. He immediately bowed his hands and then turned around and walked directly to Songshan Mountain.
But Yan Shisan didn't say a word, and stood up in a flash. He was as light as a swallow, and followed Ma Jinliang and swooped up Songshan Mountain.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Yu Huatian raised his head and glanced at the sky, then withdrew his gaze, walked to the camp tent set up in advance, closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.
In the past few days, he has been meditating on the Sunflower Book, thinking about how to transform acquired nature into innate energy, and relying on the Sunflower Book to refine the innate true energy.
Although he still has no clue, his foundation in martial arts is getting stronger and stronger. Yuhuatian has a hunch that the opportunity for him to break through to the Grand Master may not be far away.
