Chapter 219: One Sect, Two Fortresses, Three Gangs and Eight Major Sects

In the ninth year of Chenghua, after the Ming Dynasty and North Korea joined forces to defeat the Mongols and Jurchens, the entire Kanto region, east of Shanhaiguan and all the way to the border of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Jianshen established three political envoys here, including Liaoyang, Jiyuan, and Heishui, which corresponded to the three northeastern provinces in later generations, and are now known as the three Kanto divisions.

Shendaotang and Wanmatang are located in Fuyu County, Duoyan Prefecture, Jiyuan, less than 300 kilometers away from Daqing Oilfield.

Due to the existence of the Daqing Oilfield, trains to Duoyan Prefecture connected very early, which brought great convenience to Shen Dao Tang and Wan Ma Tang.

On the tenth day of August, Bai Tianyu and Ma Kongqun took their men on the train to the Western Regions.

From Guandong to the Western Regions, you have to change trains twice on the way, and it takes about two and a half days to get to Werumu.

After arriving, he still had to rest for a few days to maintain his peak condition, so he set off early.

In the soft sleeper carriage of the train, two men and one woman were sitting at a small table in the carriage. On the table were three plates of snacks, including a plate of fried peanuts, a plate of fried monk beans, and a plate of braised chicken wings.

Over the past ten years, both Bai Tianyu and Ma Kongqun have changed a lot.

During the day, he had a beard on his lips and his long hair was neatly styled. The resolute young man who fought for a few ginsengs back then has turned into a majestic and masculine young man.

Ma Kongqun, on the other hand, is slightly fatter and has a beard under his chin. He looks older than Tian Tianyu.

No matter at any time, he firmly believes that he will not be defeated. The Bai family's swordsmanship may not be invincible, but his people are.

The purpose of this appointment with the leader of the Demon Cult was to allow Hua Baifeng to completely break away from the Demon Cult and become his woman with peace of mind.

Therefore, his nickname is "Invincible Magic Sword". This is not only a name given by outsiders, but also his own belief and his Tao.

"Haha, brother, right now, those people from the Demon Cult are still in the Gobi Desert, riding horses under the sun, right?"

"I didn't have a choice before, but now I want to be a good person."

Even his sword intention did not have the momentum to advance without retreating.

Hua Baifeng looked at Bai Tianyu worriedly and said, "Are you sure you can beat the leader?"

The woman sitting next to Bai Tianyu looked to be in her twenties, with icy muscles and jade bones, and skin like gelatin.

These are the truest thoughts of most undercover agents.

"When the Demonic Cult's economic territory expands to a certain extent in the future, it will not be impossible to cleanse all the believers."

This woman is none other than Hua Baifeng, Bai Tianyu's concubine and the leader of the four major princesses of the Demon Cult.

During the day, Yu was a romantic and had many women.

Hua Baifeng was startled when he heard this and didn't know how to refute it, because it made sense.

Hua Baifeng listened to these gentle but firm words and looked at his unwavering gaze. All her worries were swept away and her heart completely settled.

Tian Tianyu shook his head and said: "It's impossible. Do you think the people in charge of the Demon Sect's business will still be willing to work for the Demon Sect after they have experienced that they can reach a high position by relying on legitimate business and live an upright life in the sun?"

Ma Kongqun said with a smile: "What the elder brother said is absolutely true. I am afraid that the person who is responsible for the legitimate business of the Demon Sect, after accumulating enough strength, the first thing he will do is to destroy his old boss and let himself stand in the sun."

……

There is no doubt that this team is from the Demon Cult.

"After all, who wants to be a shady mouse when he can live an upright life?"

Ma Kongqun poured a glass of wine for Bai Tianyu and Hua Baifeng respectively, and said with a smile.

It's not even as crazy and violent as the "Three Knives of Abi Dao", and is extremely evil.

Since he realized the invincible sword intention, he has never met an opponent again. No matter how powerful the opponent is, he will fall under his sword in the end.

The sword intention that Bai Tianyu understood was called "invincible".

Therefore, he has always been careless with other women, but he treats Hua Baifeng sincerely.

Bai Tianyu looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, raised a slight arc in the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Even if a shady organization like the Demon Sect is not destroyed, it will be eliminated by the times sooner or later."

There are no enemies but no one for me, and no one for me is invincible.

His sword intention is not as domineering, ferocious and murderous as "Hero Dominate the World".

She wore a goose-yellow dress with a waist-cinching design that showed off her graceful figure.

Hua Baifeng sighed and said softly: "I'm afraid it's not that easy. The leader had already sent people to sneak into the Ming Dynasty and start a legitimate business."

She stretched out her delicate hand, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank the strong wine in the glass.

There were about 200 people in the team to the east, all dressed in black, each holding a weapon, all of them imposing and agile.

It is not as ruthless, cold and cruel as "Ruthless Kill".

But he can win. Once he bursts out with this sword intent, he will definitely win.

From the west and east foot of Tianshan Mountain, a team appeared one after another, going up the mountain at an extremely fast speed towards Tianchi.

But among all the women he had ever experienced, Hua Baifeng was the only one who was not only willing to risk her life and break with the Demon Cult for him, but was also willing to be his concubine and bear children for him without asking for status.

In the early morning of August 15th, as the fog on the mountain had just dispersed under the rising sun, the tranquility of Tianchi was broken.

A face with beautiful melon seeds that can be broken by a blow is embedded with a pair of beautiful eyes that are as bright as stars. There is a bit of charm and softness between the picturesque eyebrows.

"That's exactly the reason." Bai Tianyu nodded with a smile, picked up the wine glass, touched it with Ma Kongqun, and drank it all in one gulp.

Bai Tianyu held her slender waist and said softly: "Don't worry, I won't ask for a fight if I'm not sure."

This is like those undercover police officers in Hong Kong movies. When they climb to a certain height, what they want is to destroy the handle and completely clear their name. Very few people will wholeheartedly work for the evil forces.

The leader Dugu Can and the left and right guardians were not in the team, and the leader was Shen Feng.

The time for the duel is at three quarters past noon, which is 11:45 in the morning. This is a suitable time for killing people.

Dugu Can will not be there before the duel time comes, so he sends this team first, naturally to "clear the place" and ensure that the duel location is "clean".

With Shen Feng leading the team up the mountain, Dugu Can felt relieved. With his innate perception, no one could lurk under his nose.

The team to the west has about three hundred people, composed of two groups of people. The reason why we say there are two groups of people is because the people in this team are dressed in two different ways.

A small number of them wore white tight vests on their upper bodies, a white shirt on the outside, a pair of white casual pants on their lower bodies, and a pair of white sneakers on their feet.

The whole body is pure white, even the single sword in his hand, the scabbard and the handle are white.

They tied their long hair into a bun on the top of their head, with not a single extra hair hanging down, making them look particularly neat and tidy.

These people are the disciples of the Divine Sword Hall.

The Demon Sect is all dressed in black, and the Divine Sword Hall is all in white, and their tit-for-tat attitude is unabashed.

In addition to the disciples of the Divine Sword Hall, the other group of people wore gray T-shirts and light blue jeans. There was a pattern of galloping horses printed on the back of the T-shirts. They had a variety of weapons in their hands, and their hairstyles were not uniform.

These people are from Guandong Wanmatang.

There will probably be a duel between Bai Tianyu and Dugu Can, and there will probably be a duel between Shen Knife Hall and the Demon Cult. As Bai Tian Yu's sworn brother, Ma Kongqun will naturally not be absent.

Although the disciples of Ten Thousand Horses Hall are far less elite than those of Shenjian Hall, they still take advantage of the advantages of having a large number of people.

Among the team of more than 300 people, the disciples of the Divine Sword Hall only accounted for a quarter.

Although the strength of the people in Wanmatang is uneven, and there is no tacit understanding between them, there are also many martial arts masters who have taken refuge.

Unlike Shen Dao Tang, a pure martial arts sect, Wan Ma Tang is mainly business-oriented.

They monopolized the livestock industry in Guandong, not only raising horses, but also raising cattle and sheep on a large scale. They were one of the largest suppliers of cowhide, milk, beef, wool, sheepskin, and mutton to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Ma Kongqun is much richer than Tian Tianyu and can recruit his subordinates because he can afford them.

The team that went up the mountain to clear the area first was led by Ma Kongqun.

Although Shen Knife Hall also has a lot of businesses and belongs to the wealthy class, it is still incomparable with Wanma Hall.

Bai Tianyu followed the elite route and had only a few disciples, only a little over two hundred in total, which was incomparable to the thousands of people at Ten Thousand Horse Hall.

However, all the disciples of the Divine Sword Hall are not weak in practicing the Bai Family Divine Sword, and they cooperate with each other tacitly. They are by no means weaker than the elite disciples of the Second Fort, Three Gangs and Eight Major Sects.

There is a saying in the new martial arts of Ming Dynasty that there are “one sect, two forts, three gangs and eight major sects”.

One sect naturally refers to the Feixian Sect. This sect is composed entirely of women, but it has a transcendent status in the martial arts world.

The leader of the Feixian Sect, named Bai Feifei, is enough to overpower all martial arts sects and become the largest martial arts sect in the Ming Dynasty.

The sect leader is the second master in the world, and the sect leader's husband is the best in the world. The sect has all the unique skills, resources, and famous teachers, there is no shortage of wealthy couples, and there is also a peerless master in the sect.

In addition, among the second and third generation disciples, there are beauties from all over the country, many of whom come from official families, wealthy families, and martial arts families. It is difficult for the Feixian Sect not to be transcendent.

The two forts refer to Sunjiabao in Shaanxi and Tangjiabao in Sichuan. Needless to say, one is the home of old man Tianji and the other is the headquarters of Tangmen in Sichuan.

Not to mention the old man Tianji, Sun Baifa, who is ranked eleventh on the martial arts ranking list, but the two brothers, Sun Dahai and Sun Dajiang, are also famous masters in the world.

Tangmen has a long history. It was established in the Tang Dynasty and has a history of 800 years.

In the past eight hundred years, although the Tang Sect has had its ups and downs, in general, it has never truly declined.

On the contrary, after eight hundred years of accumulation, the Tang Sect's hidden weapons have continuously introduced new ones, and have become a force that cannot be ignored in the martial arts world.

In today's martial arts world, Tang Wuhen, the "Wuhen Master", is famous all over the world for his unique skill of "sprinkling money all over the sky" and his superhuman light kung fu. He firmly supports the Tang Sect's reputation and makes the Tang Sect stable. Steady occupying a place in the famous sect.

The three gangs refer to the Huguang Beggars Gang, the Cangzhou Money Gang, and the Fujian Giant Whale Gang.

Due to the economic boom of the Ming Dynasty and abundant food, there are basically no beggars anymore. Today's Beggar Gang is no longer the largest gang in the world with the most disciples, and it no longer even lives up to its name.

That is to say, their martial arts inheritance has not been lost, and they can be regarded as a force in the world, so they still rank among the great martial arts sects of the Ming Dynasty.

The members of the Beggar Clan no longer beg or wear rags, but have their own businesses. This can be regarded as completing the transformation from the "Dirty Clothes Sect" to the "Clean Clothes Sect".

The Money Gang took advantage of the industrial revolution and has developed into a large chamber of commerce, involving the construction industry, building materials trade, bank industry, textile industry, clothing industry, retail industry and other industries.

Shangguan Jinhong is firmly seated as the richest man in Hebei. He is also one of the top richest men in the entire Ming Dynasty. Not many people dare to offend the man who is ranked fourteenth on the martial arts ranking list.

The Giant Whale Gang is a large gang created by the former general manager of the 72nd Road Water and Land Terminal in the south of the Yangtze River after merging and integrating several coastal gangs.

It is entrenched in the southeastern coastal area, and its main helm is in Changle County, Fuzhou, where Zhu Qiqi's fiefdom is located.

The Giant Whale Gang's main business is water transportation, and it also does foreign trade business, traveling to Southeast Asia, the West, Japan and other places.

Gang leader Li Tiannan is also a smart man. He followed Zhu Fugui's code of conduct as an example. Since the establishment of the Giant Whale Gang, he has resolutely maintained the rule of the Ming Dynasty and often assisted the Ming army in combating pirates and Japanese pirates.

Once a natural disaster occurs along the coast, the Giant Whale Gang will definitely be one of the first civil forces to organize manpower and material resources to participate in disaster relief.

Therefore, Li Tiannan and the Giant Whale Gang were repeatedly praised by the imperial court. In the 18th year of Chenghua, they even received a plaque written by Zhu Jianshen as "Outstanding Jianghu Gang in the Ming Dynasty". Neither has ever received an honor.

This plaque has greatly increased the prestige of the Giant Whale Gang. The plaque given by the emperor of the feudal dynasty is different from the titles of "outstanding private entrepreneur", "outstanding youth" and "model worker" in later generations. It represents the holy family.

Needless to say, there is no need to mention the invisible benefits that this plaque can bring.

The most damn amazing thing is that Li Tiannan's younger brother, Li Tianhao, was so idle one day that he checked the family tree carefully and found that he and the Sword God were from the same ancestry and had the same ancestor. They were still of the same generation.

As a result, the two brothers became distant relatives of Li Tianxin. Although everyone in the world knew that this was just the clinging behavior of the Li Tiannan brothers, Li Tianxin not only did not deny it, but also recognized this distant relative.

As a result, the rise of the Giant Whale Gang was unstoppable, and eventually became the overlord of the southeastern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Tiannan's son Li Zhengkai also visited the second generation of the Li family in Fenyang.

This kid loves calligraphy, and is especially obsessed with copying Wang Xizhi's running script. He has a lot in common with Li Changqing.

Finally, there are the eight major sects, which are traditional sects that have existed in the Ming Dynasty, including Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Kongtong, Kunlun, Huashan, Qingcheng, and Diancang.

Because Shen Dao Tang is located in the old martial arts world outside the Pass, it was not able to be ranked among the famous sects of the Ming Dynasty.

If the Divine Sword Hall moves into the pass, the Ming Dynasty will not only have eight major sects, but nine major sects.
