The road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
The terrain in central Sichuan is complex and the mountain roads are difficult to navigate, so the forces in the rivers and lakes are also complex.
But in the past few hundred years, the Tang Sect has always been respected in the central Sichuan area.
The Tang Sect is a sect that is both good and evil. Its main characteristics are hidden weapons and poisons. It is especially good at making hidden weapons, from iron caltrops, iron sand, silver needles, to many kinds of hidden weapons imagined out of thin air.
At the same time, in order to give full play to the effectiveness of hidden weapons, he is also proficient in various techniques for using hidden weapons.
The famous hidden weapons such as the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needle, Peacock Feathers, Black Coffin, and Soul-Chasing Death Gallbladder all come from the Tang Sect.
The Tang Sect would occasionally sell various hidden weapons and poisons to the outside world in order to make a profit and make a lot of money. Therefore, in just a hundred years, it became the top power in the world.
However, once people have some foundation, they will inevitably start to be arrogant.
This time, the Tang Sect was invited and was so bold that they dared to ambush the Xichang team together with the Qian Gang, Ghost Villa, Wenjiabao and other major forces. Unexpectedly, they were counterattacked and killed. Almost all the disciples who went to ambush were killed. Only a few of them escaped.
After knowing that the operation had failed, and fearing the imperial court's retaliation, the Tang Sect closed the mountain gate tightly and placed many hidden weapons and poisons in the dense forest leading into the mountain to prevent outsiders from entering.
Therefore, during this period of time, the atmosphere in Shu has been extremely solemn. Many people in the world have even stayed away from the Shu area for fear of being implicated.
Facts have proved that their choice was correct.
Because on this day, a large number of Xichang Fanzi and Jinyiwei entered Shu. At the same time, they also mobilized the defenders in Shu to assist, and went straight to Tangmen, obviously aiming to destroy Tangmen.
For a time, many Jianghu forces in Shu were in danger, and they clamped their tails and behaved.
…
Southwest of Shu, inside an inn.
Yuhuatian led Yan Shisan, Ma Jinliang, Ding Xiu and others to rest at the post station. Outside, thousands of Xichang masters and Jinyi guards were stationed, as well as 5,000 Shu defenders, with a huge momentum.
When heading to Tangmen this time, Yuhuatian had no intention of concealing his whereabouts.
He just wanted to let the world see what would happen if he dared to ambush Xichang and Jinyiwei and go against the imperial court.
Although the Tang Sect's strength is not as strong as the super first-class forces such as Wudang, Shaolin, and Xueyue City, it is second only to the super first class. It is already considered a first-class force. This is just because the Tang Sect's sword is eccentric and specializes in the development of hidden weapons and poisons. His martial arts strength is insufficient, otherwise he would be completely qualified to attack super-first-class forces.
This time going south, since Shaolin cannot be destroyed, then the Tang Sect will be destroyed, which can be used to deter the martial arts forces in the south.
This can be regarded as completing part of the tasks assigned by Zhu Youxiao.
This inn is less than fifty miles away from the Tangmen garrison, but the army has been on the road for several days and is already exhausted. Yuhuatian ordered them to repair here and recuperate. They will arrive at Tangmen tomorrow and annihilate them in one fell swoop!
…
"Tap..."
In the evening, a dark shadow sneaked into the inn, appeared in front of Yuhuatian, and reported in a low voice:
"Reporting to the Governor, the Dark Night Forest where the Tang Sect is located has been completely controlled to ensure that no one will escape. However, in order to protect themselves, the Tang Sect has planted many hidden weapons and poisons in the forest. The hidden weapons on the core layer can even hurt the Grandmaster. If we force our way in, we will probably suffer a lot of casualties."
A hidden weapon that can hurt the Grandmaster?
Yuhuatian narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:
"Is there a way to break it?"
The spy pondered for a moment, nodded and said:
"There is Leijiabao in the south of the Yangtze River. It is famous for its firearms. It is relatively restrained from Tang Sect's hidden weapons. If we can invite Leijiabao to take action, we should be able to destroy Dark Night Forest's hidden weapons and reduce casualties."
Leijiabao, Leimen...the martial arts sect in Young Songs?
Yuhuatian nodded slightly and asked: "Didn't the Leimen establish an offensive and defensive alliance with the Tangmen? Will they help me destroy the Tangmen?"
The spy whispered:
"The governor doesn't know that these two families are feuding families. They have been incompatible with each other since a hundred years ago. Later, they established an offensive and defensive alliance just because of the relationship between Baili Dongjun, the great master of Xueyue City, and they both fall under the jurisdiction of Xueyue City. "
"But in the past few decades, the two families have been constantly at odds in private, and no one can see the other. Now that there is an opportunity to destroy the Tang Sect, Leijiabao will definitely be happy to see it happen..."
"Wait a minute!" Yuhuatian frowned slightly: "Is Xueyue City also involved?"
The spy was also stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied:
"Yes, Lord Governor, there was a talented disciple named Tang Lian under the Tang Sect master Tang Lianyue. Later, some changes occurred within the Tang Sect. Tang Lianyue was placed under house arrest by the Tang Sect, while Tang Lian escaped from the Tang Sect. , became the disciple of Xueyue City’s great master Baili Dongjun, and became the great disciple of Xueyue City.”
"It is also because of this relationship that Xueyue City restricts the Tang Sect."
Yuhuatian frowned: "What's the relationship between Leijiabao and Xueyue City?"
The spy replied:
"The second city lord of Xueyue City, the Xueyue Sword Immortal Li Hanyi on the Sword God List, was originally a disciple of Leimen. Later, he was expelled by Leimen because his father Lei Mengsha violated Leimen's ancestral motto of "not joining the army." Li Hanyi changed his mother's surname and later joined Xueyue City and became the second city lord of Xueyue City."
"I see……"
Yuhuatian suddenly understood.
Although he has integrated the memory of his predecessor and knows that this world is a fusion of the forces and characters from many martial arts dramas in his previous life, but because his predecessor has only been around for a short time and is obsessed with the power of the court, he has little knowledge of most things in the world.
After thinking for a moment, Yuhuatian continued to ask:
"This time we come to Shu, is there any movement in Xueyue City?"
The three major city lords of Xueyue City, the Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun, the Sword Immortal Li Hanyi, and the Spear Immortal Sikong Changfeng are all powerful men with prominent reputations in the world.
Especially Jiuxian Baili Dongjun, whose martial arts reached perfection twenty years ago. He is a master at the same time as Shangguan Jinhong, Gu Santong, and Zhu Wuwu. Now that he has been practicing for twenty years, he is definitely a grand master. Strong.
If Xue Yuecheng also intervenes in this matter, there will inevitably be some trouble.
"Not yet."
The Xichang spy shook his head and said:
"Although Xueyue City has some connections with the Tang Sect because of its chief disciple Tang Lian, Tang Lian can only be regarded as an abandoned disciple of the Tang Sect, and his relationship with the Tang Sect is not very deep. Xueyue City should not do this for this reason. relationship, openly offending the imperial court."
"Um."
Nodding, Yu Huatian pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said: "Send someone to Leijiabao and ask if Leijiabao is willing to take action. If you are willing to come, I will wait one more day, otherwise I will continue as before. Plan action.”
"In addition, send someone to keep an eye on the movements in Xueyue City. If there is any abnormal movement in Xueyue City, report immediately."
"As you command!"
After the spy finished speaking, he turned and left.
Yuhuatian sat in the room, contemplating.
In the Ming Dynasty, the rivers and lakes were in opposition to the imperial court.
Although the overall strength is respected by the imperial court, when it comes to martial arts strength, Jianghu is definitely stronger.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was only founded more than two hundred years ago, but the world has existed since ancient times.
The reason why the imperial court established Hulong Villa, East and West No. 2 Factory and Jinyiwei was actually mainly to deal with the Jianghu people, because the imperial court could not just send out a large army to suppress if something happened. If so, the price would be too high.
But martial arts is difficult to achieve. Although the East-West Second Factory and Jinyiwei both focus on cultivating martial arts masters, they cannot succeed overnight.
For example, now, there are many acquired warriors in the East and West Second Factory and Jinyiwei, but innate masters are extremely rare. The major thousand Taibao in Jinyiwei are only at this level.
In the Grandmaster realm, there is only one Yuhuatian in the West Factory, and at most one Yan Shisan; in the East Factory, only Cao Zhengchun is in this realm.
This strength is fine for dealing with some ordinary first-class sects, but if it involves top sects such as Shaolin, Wudang and Xueyuecheng, it will be a bit unsatisfactory.
Because these top sects all have extremely deep foundations, there will definitely be great masters among them.
There is only one word difference between Grandmaster and Grandmaster, but the gap is not so easy to overcome. Even if Yuhuatian has killed two Grandmasters at this moment, if he faces some top Grandmasters, he still has no guarantee of victory. of certainty.
Moreover, killing the Grand Master is too dangerous!
Unless absolutely necessary, Yuhuatian will not risk his life easily.
Among the several major law enforcement agencies of the imperial court, only the Dragon Protection Villa has the great master Zhu Yelang as its head.
If you want to deal with these top forces, it is actually a safe way to ask Dragon Guard Villa to take action.
But now Hulong Villa and Xichang can be said to be in a state of turmoil. Even if Zhu Wuli is willing to take action, Yuhuatian can't bear to ask him for help.
Therefore, you still have to rely on yourself!
"As soon as the Tang Sect is solved, we will leave for Wudang immediately. We can't delay it any longer! At least we must understand the difference between a Grand Master and a Grand Master..."
Yuhuatian secretly made a decision in his heart.
He has stayed at the pinnacle of Grandmaster for a long time. Even though he has practiced other martial arts during this period and his strength has improved a lot, there has never been much growth in his internal strength.
This means that he is already at the limit of being a master at this moment.
If you don't break through to the Grand Master, your martial arts realm will stop here in this lifetime.
Without a breakthrough in internal strength, no matter how many external skills you practice, your strength will not be greatly improved.
Therefore, breaking through the Grand Master is the next step that must be taken!
As for whether he can successfully go to Wudang and learn from Zhang Sanfeng how to break through the Grand Master, Yu Huatian is not too worried. After all, he has the black jade intermittent ointment in his hand that can cure Yu Daiyan. Unless Zhang Sanfeng does not want his apprentice to stand up, he will definitely Will compromise.
It's just that this time he went to Shaolin Temple and killed Zhang Wuji, and Zhang Wuji was Zhang Cuishan's son and Zhang Sanfeng's disciple. If Zhang Sanfeng pursued this matter, it would be a bit troublesome.
But Zhang Wuji is the leader of the Mingjiao, and the Mingjiao is a demon sect. When Zhang Wuji chose to take charge of the Mingjiao, he publicly severed ties with Wudang.
It is reasonable and legal to kill the leader of the Demon Sect by yourself. Even Zhang Sanfeng can't find anything to say.
If he insists on taking this matter into consideration and gives up the opportunity to save Yu Daiyan, he will only be in trouble.
"No matter what, if Zhang Sanfeng doesn't want to cooperate, then think of other ways. At worst, we can just catch an ordinary grand master and torture him. If you don't believe him, don't believe him!" Yuhuatian said secretly.
"Tap..."
At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. Ma Jinliang opened the door and walked in. He raised his hands solemnly and said:
"Master Governor, Cao Zhengchun, the Duke of Dongchangchang is here!"
Cao Zhengchun?
Yu Huatian frowned, then narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"The emperor asked him to cooperate with me. He just came at this time. What does he want to do?"
Ma Jinliang said in a deep voice:
"He has brought a lot of people from Dongchang, and he should be preparing to help us attack Tangmen."
Yu Huatian sneered: "He really knows how to choose the right time. He didn't come when I was ambushed. Now that the Tang Sect has been destroyed, he comes to take the credit?"
Ma Jinliang remained silent.
Yuhuatian pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said:
"Since he wants to come, let him come. Attack Tang Clan and let his people go first!"
"yes!"
