Time passed, and almost a month had passed since Daqimen announced the convening of the demon elimination conference.
Within a month, Daqimen gathered more than 300 Jianghu forces, large and small, such as sects, gangs, escort agencies, martial arts schools, etc. The total number of various forces exceeded 5,000 people.
The gathering of so many people was enough to attract the attention of local officials.
But the strange thing is that the imperial court ignored this and even evacuated all the inns and garrisons in the northwest area early, as if to make room for this demon-killing conference.
The Demon Elimination Conference was held in the northwest wilderness where Daqimen is located.
This place is sparsely visited. Since the arrival of Daqimen, it has gradually begun to prosper, and a small town has been built a few miles away from Daqimen.
However, because it is close to the desert grassland in the north, the people here are strong and fierce, and most of them are knights. However, in this wasteland, the Daqi Gate is the most respected.
The martial arts people who came to the northwest these days all live in this small town.
Only the leaders of the top forces were invited to the Daqi Sect to discuss the demon elimination conference.
…
At this time, in the Daqi Sect, dozens of figures with extraordinary bearings gathered together. These were the leaders of the major sects in the martial arts world.
In addition, Chu Liuxiang, Zhu Zao, and Yaoshu had already arrived at Daqimen and were now in the lobby, and their seats were very close to the front.
After all, although Chu Liuxiang is of the younger generation, his own strength is not weak. He has already reached the level of Grand Master. He has a wide range of friends, a bold personality, and loves to fight against injustice. He also has a good reputation in the world. Most people in the world will give him some points. face.
For example, the two powerful women sitting in front of Chu Liuxiang were invited by Chu Liuxiang.
These two people are the two strong men in Biluo Fu, 'Misty Rain' Hua Shuangshuang and 'Lightning' Zhuo Sanniang among the Four Saints of 'Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning'.
Even being able to invite these two people shows how extensive Chu Liuxiang's friends are.
Of course, these two didn't come here just for his sake.
Among them, Hua Shuangshuang's daughter Hua Lingling and Lei Bian's son Lei Xiaodiao had a marriage agreement. However, Lei Dapeng and Hua Shuangshuang had different personalities. They wanted to find a new wife for their son, but they didn't expect this time. He kicked an iron plate and died in the Shaolin Temple.
After Lei Xiaodiao learned about this, he invited Hua Shuangshuang to join the alliance in order to avenge his father Lei Dapeng.
Just as Chu Liuxiang also sent out an invitation, Hua Shuangshuang came.
Zhuo Sanniang, on the other hand, had been favored by the seniors of the Daqi Sect in her early years. Now after learning about this, she was invited by Chu Liuxiang and decided to come to help the Daqi Sect.
…
Yun Zheng, as the acting head of Daqi Sect, sat on the main seat, next to him were Tie Zhongtang and Yun Jiuxiao.
Looking at the people coming to the hall, Yunzheng and Tie Zhongtang looked at each other, feeling slightly relieved in their hearts.
These people in the hall at this moment can almost represent the entire Qing Dynasty.
Except for a few top forces that have not yet appeared, most of the others are here.
Even Empress Jellyfish Yinji, the master of the Shenshui Palace, was sitting in the first place on the left, with a dignified appearance, a cold expression, and said nothing.
In addition, there are many first-class forces such as Baihui Temple, Yaowang Sect, Bagua Sect, Wuhu Sect, Wei Tuo Sect, Diancang Sect, Xueshan Sect, Wulang Escort Bureau, etc.
"Everyone!"
Yun Zheng cleared his throat, stood up and bowed to everyone, saying:
"Nowadays, the martial arts world is in turmoil. In the past, the imperial court was eyeing us and other martial arts factions, and wanted to quickly eliminate them. Later, there were external forces such as Jian Zong who stirred up the situation and were ambitious and wanted to unify the martial arts world."
"My father has been missing for many years, and the boy Yunzheng is now temporarily in charge of the flag sect."
"Here, Yun Zheng would like to thank all the seniors for accepting the invitation from my Daqi Sect to come to the northwest to participate in the Demon Elimination Conference!"
Yunzheng's posture was very low.
After hearing this, everyone's faces showed kindness, and they all returned the courtesy:
"Master Yun, you're welcome!"
"How can we, the Qing Dynasty, allow outsiders to take over? Moreover, this sword sect is very ambitious and aims at the entire martial arts world. We are here for our own sake, and Master Yun does not need to see outsiders."
"That's right! There are no unbroken eggs when the nest is overturned. Everyone knows this truth, otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here today."
"If you have any orders from Master Yun, just say so. We are willing to obey the orders of Daqi Sect!"
"Exactly, please give me the instructions, Master Yun!"
"Since we are here to meet the alliance and discuss how to deal with the external force of Jianzong, we naturally need to elect an alliance leader. I suggest that it is better for Leader Yun to serve as the alliance leader. What do you think?"
"agree!"
"I agree!"
Everyone spoke one after another, actually intending to push Yunzheng to take the position of alliance leader.
Since they are forming an alliance, they should choose an alliance leader.
After all, Daqimen was once the supreme martial arts master, with a heritage of more than a hundred years, and the disciples of this generation, such as Tie Zhongtang and Yunzheng, are all leaders of the younger generation and are still very famous in the world.
Yun Zheng never thought that the Daqi Sect had declined for many years and had long lost its former dominance in the martial arts world. The heads of the clan were still giving him face like this, and his faces immediately showed joy.
Just as he was about to speak, Tie Zhongtang suddenly shook his head, stepped forward and cupped his hands:
"You guys are serious!"
"In terms of age and seniority, you are all our seniors. Tie Mou and the head junior brother are so virtuous and capable that they dare to take on such a big position."
"I, the banner sect, will never take the position of alliance leader. This matter should be discussed together by all of you."
Yun Jiuxiao breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Yun Zheng would agree without knowing the truth.
Everyone here is a senior member of the martial arts world, and although the Daqi Sect can be considered a top force now, its power is no longer what it was back then. If you agree rashly, you will definitely become the target of public criticism.
Moreover, how can the position of alliance leader be so easy to occupy?
This position not only represents identity and status, but also represents responsibility.
This incident involves too much, and Daqimen cannot bear this responsibility.
"Iron Hero is joking. Iron Hero has only been in the world for a mere ten years, but his martial arts skills have surpassed those of us old guys. Whether it is Yunzheng as the leader or Iron Hero as the leader of the alliance, we are the same." Convinced."
"That's right! How about letting Iron Man take over the position of leader!"
"I agree."
Everyone spoke again.
Tie Zhongtang was stunned. He didn't expect that when he opened his mouth, he would be pushed to the front of the stage.
Say no now.
At this time, Chu Liuxiang suddenly stood up and said: "I also agree that Brother Tie will be the leader of the alliance!"
"As the saying goes, a group of dragons cannot be leaderless. When we deal with the Sword Sect this time, it is naturally impossible for us to become a piece of loose sand. Just like the last battle at the Golden Palace, the situation was chaotic. In the end, instead of being able to save the Golden Palace, we were surrounded and suppressed by the imperial court. The major factions suffered heavy casualties, so they really need a leader."
"And this demon-killing conference was initiated by the Daqi Sect, so someone from the Daqi Sect should be the leader."
"Although Brother Tie is still young, he has good martial arts skills and has reached the level of Grand Master. He is also the senior brother of Head Yunzheng. I believe that Head Yun Zheng will not mind if Brother Tie is the leader of the alliance, right?"
Yun Zheng was stunned for a moment, then quickly said: "Of course not."
He and Tie Zhongtang were as close as brothers, so naturally they would not have any grudges over this matter.
What's more, Tie Zhongtang's martial arts is indeed far better than him.
With Tie Zhongtang as the leader of the alliance, he can not only control the power in the hands of Daqimen, but also convince the people. This is a two-fold deal, and it also prevents everyone from fighting over each other.
Yun Jiuxiao thought about it and thought it was a good thing, but did not speak.
"this……"
Tie Zhongtang looked embarrassed: "With my qualifications, I really don't dare..."
"Since you don't dare to sit on the position of alliance leader, then let me take the seat!"
Before he finished speaking, a cold voice suddenly sounded outside the hall.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Everyone turned around and saw an old man with white hair and beard striding in.
This old man was wearing a golden robe, embroidered with patterns of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. His aura was ethereal and deep, and the depth could not be seen clearly. It was as if he was integrated with the heaven and earth, making it elusive.
Swish swish——
At this moment, Tie Zhongtang, Jellyfish Yinji, Hua Shuangshuang, Zhuo Sanniang and others immediately stood up and stared at the old man with horrified expressions and shock in their hearts.
God!
This old man is definitely a heavenly being!
"I wonder who you are, senior?" Tie Zhongtang asked with a serious look on his face.
The rest of the people also looked in surprise, but did not dare to speak.
This old man has extraordinary strength and mysterious origins, but judging from his expression, he may have bad intentions.
The old man strode into the hall, his eyes swept over Jellyfish Yinji and others, and finally focused on Tie Zhongtang's face, and said indifferently: "I am the founder of the Five Elements Demon Palace. Who do you think I am?"
The founder of the Five Elements Demon Palace?
Tie Zhongtang was startled, and then his pupils shrank: "Ancestor of the Five Elements?!"
Everyone was shocked.
Ancestor of the Five Elements? !
He is still alive? !
After coming back to his senses, Tie Zhongtang hurriedly walked down, showed some respect, made an invitation gesture, and said: "I didn't expect that senior would also come. Please forgive me for being indifferent. Senior, please sit down."
After saying that, he asked someone to bring a chair and let the ancestor of the Five Elements sit down.
"No need!"
The ancestor of the Five Elements said coldly: "I never thought that my hard work, which I had just retired for several decades, could actually lead other martial arts people to take the lead. Now this martial arts world is really getting more and more useless!"
"I'm here to avenge my useless disciples and grandsons. I'm not here to have any friendship with you and waste my time!"
"Since you don't dare to sit on the position of leader, then let me take the seat!"
"I would like to know for a while, what kind of ability does this so-called Sword Sect have, how dare you destroy my Five Elements Demon Palace!"
Seeing that the Five Elements Patriarch did not give any face to them and even insulted them for their incompetence, everyone looked a little ugly. However, sensing the vast power of the Five Elements Patriarch, they did not dare to speak out to refute.
Tie Zhongtang's face also looked a little ugly. When the ancestor of the Five Elements came, he took over the host's place and showed that he didn't take everyone seriously, which made him very unhappy.
There is only one Aoki Palace left in the Five Elements Demon Palace. It is indeed destroyed, but it was not destroyed by us.
If you are really capable, you can go to the Sword Sect to take revenge yourself. Why are you here at my Daqi Sect? (End of chapter)
