In the Heavens

The central plains were in turmoil, and the south was not peaceful either. With the large-scale southward movement of the Demon Cult, the righteous martial arts forces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were almost wiped out.

Those who survived the catastrophe gathered in Huguang, hoping to use Wudang's power to fight back and avenge the Sun Moon God Sect.

Jiangnan Wulin was slaughtered by the demon sect, and the old opponent fell into bad luck again. The real Tianxu was refreshed.

It's just that while being comfortable, the pressure is also coming one after another. As the arrogance of the Demon Cult rose, more and more people joined.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world. The Wudang faction in the Jiangnan War was only a symbolic resistance, and the meaning of killing with a knife was too obvious.

There are not all old foxes in the rivers and lakes. Most of the warriors do not have such a deep city, and they are more fond of "happy kindness and enmity".

Except for those who have bloody feuds with the Demon Cult, many people see that they cannot withstand the Demon Cult's soldiers, so they simply go to the past.

Among them, there are also rivers and lakes sects and martial arts families that have been passed down for hundreds of years.

This is undoubtedly a bad signal. If these small and medium-sized forces are unwilling to fight desperately, only Wudang will fight the next battle between good and evil.

Unlike the gathering of martial arts schools in the north, there are very few schools in the south that can be regarded as righteous. If it weren't for the support of the Wudang faction, the southern martial arts would not be ranked in the Jianghu.

Apart from Wudang, the strongest is naturally Southern Shaolin. It's just that those bald heads are too arrogant, they dare to show off their might in Huguang. As the host, Master Tianyi could only be forced to teach them a little lesson.

It seems that only a few hundred people have been lost, but that is all due to combat power. It is not easy to cultivate masters, and the Southern Shaolin is not as big as the Northern Shaolin.

He has lost 60% to 70% of his strength, so it's good to be able to take care of himself now, so how dare he come out to be frightened again.

Then it was the turn of the Hengshan School and the Beggars' Gang. The strengths of these two groups are similar, although the beggar gang has more people, but the number of masters is limited.

It's a pity that the Hengshan faction slipped away first, and at this time they were watching the scenery in Guanzhong. The beggar gang didn't run away, but they didn't have a firm determination to resist the demon either.

Fight if you win, run if you can't. Anyway, beggar gang disciples are all over the world, so they can still gain a foothold in another place.

There is no need to look at the Lushan School, Huangshan School, Jiuhua School, Guoqing Temple, Putuo School, Tianzhu School in the future.

It can be regarded as a first-rate sect in the south, but it is not as good as some tyrannical second-rate sects and martial arts families in the north.

In the past, as a competitor, Tianxu naturally hoped that these guys would be as weak as possible, but now it would be cheating for them to become allies.

One after another asking for help, Daoist Tianxu's scalp was numb. It won't work if you don't save it, and I don't know who started it. Now these guys have learned badly.

"If you can't beat it, just join."

If Wudang doesn't want to fight alone in the future, he must give these guys a hand now.

However, these are minor issues. When this war between good and evil is over, the Wudang faction's position as the southern hegemon will become even more unshakable.

Daoist Tianxu asked: "How is the Battle of Songshan going?"

No one wants to be left behind, especially when it comes to disputes over orthodoxy. Having been the second child for more than two hundred years, the Wudang faction also wants to stand up.

Right now is undoubtedly the best opportunity. As long as the Demon Cult performs a little better, the leader of the Righteous Path will be replaced.

Daoist Tianxu doesn't worry about becoming a top bird. On the one hand, he has a good relationship with the imperial court, and on the other hand, the Daoist sect is enough to worry about.

Unlike Buddhism, which expands its temples and temples whenever it has the opportunity, Taoism is more of a dead house. If possible, it is best not to go down the mountain for a lifetime.

Even if they are short of money, at most they will go down the mountain and fool a few local tyrants for sponsorship, and rarely develop believers all over the world.

This is especially important. After all, only a religion that does not dig its own corners is a good religion.

Even if it is also expanding its power, Wudang's food has to be more restrained. There are indeed a lot of industries in the door, but the land and property they own are less than one-tenth of Shaolin.

This is also one of the reasons why Shaolin was pushed to the forefront. As the family temple of the royal family, everyone knows how to restrain themselves, but a group of monks amassed money unscrupulously. If you don't clean up, who will you deal with?

"The fight was very brutal. According to the information we have collected, the Devil's Cult has lost more than 5,000 people, and Shaolin's casualties must not be small."

When speaking, Chongxu still had lingering fears.

This is not a fight between rivers and lakes, it is clearly a war. When the Battle of Songshan came to an end, the Pure Land of Buddhism might turn into a Shura Hell.

Although in the previous wars between good and evil, not only such a small number of people died, but they were all scattered over several small battlefields.

This kind of action in the martial arts is a battle with more than 10,000 casualties. The closest one was a battle between various factions and the court a hundred years ago.

Fortunately, the Shaolin Temple family has a great cause, if it rests on any other sect, even if it is not wiped out, it will also decline.

After a little thought, Master Tianxu said slowly: "Reply to the Huashan faction. We agree with their previous proposal and join hands in the next big change."

If you want to get along well in the rivers and lakes, grouping is a must. Anyway, with Shaolin in the middle, there is no conflict of core interests between Huashan School and Wudang School.

Chongxu said with some hesitation: "Master, the current situation is changing. The Huashan faction is just a proposal. It is not the master Ning Qingyu who proposed to form an alliance, but the young master Li Bumu. I am afraid..."

It seems that there is no problem for the second and third children to join forces to fight against the boss, but it is much troublesome to operate.

In the early days, the Wudang faction was worried that if they united with Huashan, they would be caught in the two-line attack of the North and South Shaolin, and the strategic pressure would be too great.

Now that the threat of Southern Shaolin has been lifted, the prerequisites for the alliance between the two factions are also gradually disappearing.

Once Shaolin declines, this alliance loses its existence value. Whether it is an enemy or a friend next is an unknown.

Especially in the Huashan faction, it is not the leader Ning Qingyu who advocates an alliance, but the little-known young leader Li Bumu.

"There's no need to worry about these things. Ning Qingyu doesn't have a few years to live. Soon, the Huashan faction will usher in the era of Li Bumu.

In recent years, they have also produced talents in large numbers, and they can stand out among many disciples of the same generation. Li Bumu is by no means an idle generation.

Next, the most important thing for the Huashan faction is not to expand, but to successfully complete the transfer of power and eliminate internal conflicts.

If nothing else, after taking the opportunity to annex Luoyang, the Huashan faction will choose to stop. They will not compete in the Central Plains for at least ten years.

We also need time, Jiangnan is really too rich. Next, we must be cautious, and don't touch those industries that are too eye-catching. "

Although there is a lot of oil and water in fatty meat, it tastes greasy! If you don't know how to control, you will get fat if you eat too much.

Daoist Tianxu is a smart person, so naturally he won't let Wudang fall into the target of public criticism. At this time, agreeing to form an alliance with Huashan is essentially to share the pressure.

Once the two families get together, they will be half of the righteous way. No matter what happens next, be able to calmly deal with it.

"The drought dies, and the flood dies." This is the true portrayal of the Huashan School and the Wudang School at the moment.

Forming an alliance is not only to cope with the changing situation in the world, but also to open up business routes between the north and the south. The two endorsed together, the toll savings alone is not a small sum.

It doesn't matter to the Wudang faction that the income of hundreds of thousands of taels can be added every year, but it is a great temptation to the Huashan faction.
