It was the third day of March in the year 2362 of the Zhongzhou calendar.
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 Kyushu and Sihai each have eight strong gangs. By comparing the strength of the gangs and going through many levels of competition, the leader of the martial arts alliance is determined.
The holding of the Hundred Flowers Conference was not a success, 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, suspicions abound, and before the righteous martial arts can be unified into one, 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 on the verge of collapse woke up like a dream. They temporarily put aside their grudges and worked together to stop the losses in time.
Little did he know that just after the evil thieves had been defeated, 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!
It's 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 long, with both sides suffering losses!
On the same night, several miles away, dozens of miles away, hundreds of miles away, no less than twenty mountain gates of 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 leadership of the martial arts alliance that day were on the attack list.
The remaining three gangs that survived were Huajian Zui, 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 will be the same as causing chaos in front of the 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 has not been ignored are 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, which always had the courage to confront Zangfeng Pavilion, Xuanwumen, such as Sihai Xingyao Village, which once competed with Sha Haiwu in the sea salt business, and such as Jiuzhou Jianyun Pavilion, which dared to call itself the "Little Sword Sect", 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% who were not selected by chance were due to geographical limitations. This was the case among the flowers, and the same was true for the Sun Moon Castle and Biluo Palace, which were thousands of miles away in the deep mountains and old forests.
The results of the surprise attacks on these more than 20 gangs can be roughly divided into three types.
One is to suffer heavy losses.
The so-called severe damage means that there are a large number of casualties in the gang, and the mainstay of the gang is injured or disabled. There is no one who cannot recover in three to five years, and no one who cannot regain their former glory in ten or eight years.
Qingtianzhong, Huanyue Palace, Shahaiwu in the Jiuzhou Alliance, and Fengmingxuan and Tulong Pavilion in the Four Seas Alliance are among them. 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 hundreds, but certainly not less than five hundred.
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 Moon 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.
This third result is to remain immobile.
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 planning 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 for various eventualities.
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 laid 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 before it can react.
He was stabbed several times in the back, causing chaos and causing trouble.
Coupled with the intervention of other forces, after that day, the righteous martial arts community 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 whole 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 three parts: the orthodox imperial elite regiment with Zheng Miaohong roots, the local specially trained elite soldiers led by the former military generals of the imperial court, and the marginal martial arts people who were temporarily recruited. Over the years, the imperial court seemed to be in a state of chaos.
He always relies on the evil demon sect to control the affairs of the Jianghu, but in fact he has cultivated a flexible combat power that can compete head-on with the Jianghu gang.
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, whether it is the righteous martial arts or the evil demon sect, there is 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 thoughts of those in power should not be left to the imagination. However, since the matter is of personal concern, 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 people, 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 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 were not unparalleled martial arts masters, they could attack together and their power could break gold!
They not only appeared in front of the more than 20 gangs' mountain gates, 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 attempt to kill everyone in the Bunji Island eggs.
No one knows their origins, or no one has been able to find out their origins, but as mentioned before, it is self-evident where this mysterious force of nearly a thousand people belongs.
Therefore, this mysterious force has not been given any specific name by Jianghu people. It is only spread by 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 Alliance, Zui Hongyan, Tingyu Pavilion, and Sanren Residence.
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 San Renju is more consistent with the comments on the 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 headaches in the entire martial arts world, lives up to its reputation. 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 to the more 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. It can be said that they are all elites.
Even so, when that mysterious force launched a surprise attack involving thirty people, it took only half a cup of tea before 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 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, the Zhengdao Wulin suffered a heavy defeat, but was not defeated, and its strength still remained. However, due to the situation, after that night, the Zhengdao Wulin had to reach a compromise with the court on the so-called "rebellion":
We will no longer form an alliance and let bygones be bygones.
From prosperity to chaos, the two alliances in Kyushu and Four Seas had been turbulent for more than thirty years. Finally, when they came to nothing, the Daoyi Alliance became silent, and no one dared to mention the word "Martial Arts Alliance Leader" anymore.
The original structure of the entire arena was shattered into pieces.
Scattered means weakened and easily defeated one by one.
All sects, including the evil sect, are secretly in danger, and have secretly formed alliances in order to take care of each other.
How long this situation can continue 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 postures, 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 truly the 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, the tranquility seemed fragile, as if one more thunder would completely collapse the fragile world.
…
…
Jiang Yichen and Leng Mei didn't know anything about what was happening in the rivers and lakes outside the valley, and had no time to worry about it.
Because Jiang Yichen is falling into a new predicament and is already bruised and bruised...
