Comprehensive martial arts: He was in the Jin Kingdom, but he returned to the Southern Song Dynasty

Zhang Wuji took the two invitation letters and discussed with everyone.

In the end, should you choose the Angry Dragon Gang or the Sun and Moon Sect?

Among those present were Linghu Chong, Zhang Wuji, Jiang Xiaoyu, Yan Nantian, Lu Xiaofeng, and Lu Chen.

These people together are a force that cannot be underestimated. Some are old but strong, tenacious and courageous martial arts masters, and there are also smart, clever, and courageous young people.

Not to mention, Lu Chen has many connections in the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty is his base.

As for the Ming Dynasty, it is just the foundation he has built up through hard work in recent days.

Everyone knew that he had inadvertently already possessed the foundation and capital of a great leader and a regional overlord. All he needed to do was give a loud shout, and immediately people would gather around him.

However, what is puzzling is that Lu Chen has not done this for a long time, so their force is still called "Five Mountains Sword Sect" and the leader of the force is still Linghu Chong.

As for Lu Chen and others, their status in the force is really hard to explain. They seem to be Linghu Chong's friends, but they do not have clear responsibilities.

However, Lu Chen has his own plans for this.

After experiencing the schemes of Wu Zhao and Dongfang Bubai, and the fights between Dong Tianbao and Zhang Sanfeng, he understood that when martial arts have reached the great triple-harmony realm, when man is in harmony with heaven and his heart is in harmony with the Tao, one can either become a god or turn into a demon.

Building power also requires careful consideration, as it will affect your future development.

It's not time yet.

Linghu Chong was born in the Huashan Sect. The Five Mountains Sword Sect was able to gain a foothold in the martial arts world because it often took the lead in fighting against the evil sects.

Although he is now different from before and his horizons have been broadened, he still has many prejudices against the Sun and Moon Sect.

He immediately said, "Is the Sun Moon Church so kind? Dongfang Bubai is a great hero of his generation, with deep strategies, and it is said that he never misses anything. I think he must have some conspiracy?"

Lu Chen analyzed, "The Sun Moon Divine Cult wants to accept Wu Ji again. I'm afraid they have realized Gong Jiu's extraordinaryness. They want to take this opportunity to integrate their forces and cooperate with us first to attack Gong Jiu and capture Ren Yingying."

"Ren Yingying is the Saint Aunt of the Sun and Moon Sect. This position is equivalent to the Good Mother of the Great Ming Sect. The two are two sides of the same coin. I'm afraid she has cultivated a kind of energy in her body that can shake the foundation of Wu Zhao's martial arts. She is specially cultivated by Dongfang Bubai to deal with Wu Zhao."

"In the current situation, although Wu Zhao has temporarily stabilized, she is definitely not feeling well. However, the chaos in the world is a threat and an opportunity for her. She is eager to increase her power, so she will definitely attack Black Wood Cliff and use her own realm of the Mother of No Life to make it flawless."

Lu Xiaofeng followed up, "But in fact, Wu Zhao wants to integrate all the magic ways. She is not only threatening the Black Wood Cliff, but also the common enemy of the Asura Demon Sect, the two factions of the Six Paths, and the Great Ming Zun Sect. Therefore, Gong Ziyu and Ding Peng are also her enemies. Gong Jiu's holding Ren Yingying in his hands is also a threat to Wu Zhao."

He seemed to be thinking about something. "So, if I accept the Sun Moon Sect's overture, I will probably be involved in the fight between the demon sects. It's not just Ding Peng, Gong Jiu, and Gong Ziyu, there are also the four evil gods from outside the domain, Dongfang Bubai of the Sun Moon Sect, and even Meng Chixing and Li Chimei under Genghis Khan."

Lu Chen suddenly said, "No."

Lu Xiaofeng was startled, "What?"

Lu Chen emphasized, "It is Gong Jiu who owns Ren Yingying, not the Qinglong Society, and certainly not Ding Peng and Gongzi Yu."

His words were incoherent and made people confused and unable to understand what he meant.

But Lu Xiaofeng was also a smart man, he understood it immediately, clapped his hands and laughed, "Yes, Ding Peng and Gong Ziyu are from the Demon Sect, but Gong Jiu is not. In the end, Ren Yingying ended up in Gong Jiu's 'Invisible Man' unit."

He sighed, "It seems that everyone in the Azure Dragon Society is also very wary of Ding Peng and Gongzi Yu."

Lu Chen nodded, "Yes, Wu Zhao's goal is clear, she wants to annex the Demon Sect and achieve hegemony. She is like a poisonous dragon, Dongfang Bubai, Ding Peng, and Gongzi Yu are just food in her eyes."

"Gong Jiu wanted to use Wu Zhao's threat to make Ding Peng and Gong Ziyu loyal to the Azure Dragon Society. From this, it can be seen that they are not united in their opinions, but have their own ulterior motives."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "How can people like them cooperate seamlessly? So you think that we should agree to Dongfang Bubai and take the opportunity to get involved. Then we can find the cracks within the Qinglong Society? And then use this to instigate them?"

Lu Chen did not answer, but just smiled and looked at Jiang Xiaoyu next to him, "Xiaoyuer, what do you think?"

The scars on Jiang Xiaoyu's face, which had been slashed by Mu Dao Ren's sword energy, were deeper and more severe, making him look extremely ferocious and terrifying, but there was not a trace of decadence on him.

Since meeting Yan Nantian again, he has become much more lively and likes to laugh more.

Even at this time, he dared to give up the sword and learn the knife.

Zhang Wuji was quite concerned about him. When asked about this, he smiled and explained, "I learned my sword skills from Mu Dao Ren, but he destroyed my family. How can I use it again?"

"I have also thought about learning Uncle Yan's swordsmanship, but the past has been entangled and bound, and I cannot forget it. Since I picked up the sword, I can't escape from every move."

"In this case, it is better to abandon the sword!"

"So, from now on, I will not use a sword, but only a knife. Although the essence of a knife is different from that of a sword, I built my own framework based on Uncle Yan's wedding dress magic skills and formed my own school."

"I think, at least, it proves that I can say goodbye to the past."

When he said this, Jiang Xiaoyu had a lazy feeling. He was indeed very different from the past, free and unfettered, as if he had swum from a shallow pond and a strict place to a wider world.

Lu Chen and the others were also happy for him after hearing this, especially Yan Nantian, who was even more relieved.

Jiang Xiaoyu also laughed and said, "I think this is a good idea, but a better way is not to intervene, but to tell Dongfang Bubai about the internal affairs of the Azure Dragon Society. Dongfang Bubai is suffering from being trapped here, so he must hold on to this idea and let them do whatever they want."

Lu Xiaofeng thought for a moment and said, "How come you two have already decided to choose the Angry Dragon Gang as your ally?"

Lu Chen shook his head again, "No."

Lu Xiaofeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I said you wouldn't be so scary. Everyone knows what the Angry Dragon Gang means. They want to honor Xiao Zhang as the Little Ming King. This is bringing up the past and openly opposing the court."

"Shangguan Ying is probably eager for quick success. When he sees changes in the world, he immediately wants to show off and make a name for himself. This is an unwise move."

Jiang Xiaoyu said, "Yes, the Ming Dynasty has produced three of the most famous land immortals, Zhu Yuanzhang, Sanfeng Patriarch, and Lang Fanyun. As a result, the Zhu family controlled the emperor, the Wudang Sect became the leader of the righteous path, and only the Angry Dragon Gang got nothing. Naturally, they feel unbalanced."

"Moreover, Shangguan Ying inherited the position from his father Shangguan Fei, but for many years, his prestige, both inside and outside the country, has always been overshadowed by Lang Fanyun. Now that Lang Fanyun is gone, no one can tell whether he feels more disappointed or overly happy."

Lu Chen also sighed, "This is the magic of human heart. In fact, having the protection of the immortals on land is something that many forces cannot obtain. But Shangguan Ying got it easily, but he didn't cherish it. He had a different opinion of Lang Fanyun and was so angry that he lost his mind."

"In fact, he never knew that the Nu Jiao Gang and the Wudang Sect are completely different, and that Lang Fanyun and Zhang Sanfeng also have different meanings. Even without Zhang Sanfeng, the Wudang Sect is still very powerful and is still the leader of the mountain. Without Lang Fanyun, they are like a toothless tiger."

"At this point, we should give up our position, restrain our momentum, preserve our strength, and wait for Lang Fanyun to return. Only then will we be able to fight for the world."

"But Shangguan Ying may not understand this truth. I dare to predict that he will not live long."

Lu Xiaofeng asked, "So, we are just ignoring both sides?"

Lu Chen nodded and said, "That's right. Don't bother with Shangguan Ying. As for Dongfang Bubai, we can just show some goodwill. Things on both sides are very complicated."

The three of them asked and answered each other, their thoughts were quick, simple and effective, and their analysis was incisive and to the point.

After hearing this exchange, Linghu Chong, Zhang Wuji and Yan Nantian were all stunned.

After giving the order for this matter, they talked about another matter.

The thing is, Guo Songyang and Xu Tianyi have returned to Luoyang and stabilized the chaotic situation caused by Wen Wan's death.

The rest, such as the Taishan, Hengshan, and Hengshan sects, were moved to the Songyang area by the capital and were jointly managed by Zuo Lengchan, Guo Songyang, and Xu Tianyi.

Several sects only left behind some disciples with better martial arts skills to guard the mountain gates. If they encountered any vicious people, they were not allowed to fight but to immediately go to Songshan to report the situation.

It has to be said that the Five Mountains merging is the most bizarre thing in the world. Even in this world, the Five Mountains have been deformed to the point of being squeezed into the Great Ming, but they are thousands of miles apart. Even in this world of military power, it is really difficult to unify the news, not to mention the situation in the original work. Therefore, once the Five Mountains merge, they must be in the same region, otherwise it will be useless.

Leaving one's hometown is naturally difficult for many people to accept.

However, Linghu Chong went to persuade him. He was a sincere man, loved drinking, was generous, and had great personal charm towards the children of the lower class.

Such people are much more convincing.

Zuo Lengchan was extremely happy about this result. From the result, the Songshan School had become the core of the Five Mountains Sword Schools. Although he was not the leader, it was not bad either.

However, this is exactly what the Nu Jiao Gang should have done but did not do.

Lu Chen knew very well that his own strength was weak, but his family business was too big, so it was better to unite than to scatter to avoid any trouble.

He knew one thing deeply: "In this chaotic world, those who die are not good people, not bad people, but stupid people."

Be careful and tread carefully.

This is the initial strategy that Lu Chen set for the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Yan Nantian, however, felt that this was not very manly and wanted to start a war with the Qinglong Society immediately.

Lu Chen did not argue with him, but took him to comfort those lower-level sword sect disciples.

These disciples were not very good at martial arts, but they had all heard of Yan Nantian's reputation. When they saw this great hero among heroes, this hero among heroes, they all gathered around him.

Yan Nantian was at a loss for what to do for a moment.

After they left this group of people, Lu Chen told him that if they made any impulsive moves, these people would be killed by the Qinglong Society. When the time came, there would be corpses everywhere, and it would be the responsibility of this group of senior leaders.

Yan Nantian was finally speechless in the face of these lives.

——Only then did he realize that he was no longer at the age where he could do anything alone and was not afraid of death. He was the backer of a powerful force, and everything he did would have far-reaching consequences.

After Yan Nantian realized this, he had to admit his mistake to Lu Chen, "You said that, and I learned a lot. As a human being, you should learn as long as you live. Being good at martial arts doesn't mean anything. To benefit the people, you need people like you."

Of course, "be cautious and tread carefully" is for those giant forces.

Lu Chen once divided the current situation of the Ming Dynasty into different categories at a meeting, and clearly identified who were enemies and who were friends.

Among the major forces, the Qinglong Society and the Wudang Sect are the most powerful, far surpassing the Five Mountains Sword Sect. They can easily produce small innate masters, and they also have great three-combination figures who can rival Yan Nantian.

This is the top force.

Next up are the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Ding Peng's Moon Villa, and Gong Jiu's Invisible Man Force. If they were to be taken out from the Azure Dragon Society, they would be about the same level. The Nanwang Prince, who is backed by Baiyun City, the East-West Factory Alliance, the Sun-Moon Divine Sect, the Dragon Guarding Villa, and other forces are not necessarily inferior.

These are all first-rate forces, some superior and some inferior, some strong and some weak, but even if they defeat the other side, they will suffer heavy losses themselves, which makes people fear them.

Then, there are second-rate forces like the Angry Dragon Gang, Emei Sect, and Qingcheng Mountain.

Of course, Lu Chen felt that there was another hidden force, which was the Zhu royal family.

This force is guaranteed to be at least first-rate, and may even be as powerful as the Wudang Sect and the Azure Dragon Society, but no one knows its details.

Lu Chen decided to wait and see, and first handed over to Dongfang Bubai the many pieces of information that had been speculated so far, including the relationship between Gong Jiu and Ding Peng, and the Azure Dragon Society and the Demon Cult.

On the one hand, it was a response to Dongfang Bubai and gave him some face.

On the other hand, we can also look at Dongfang Bubai's methods.

As for Shangguan Ying of the Angry Dragon Gang, just ignore him.

As the old saying goes, Shangguan Ying, who was still self-righteous after losing Lang Fanyun, is like a dry bone in a tomb. Why should he care about it?

Then, a few more months passed.

During this period, the order of the Ming Dynasty gradually collapsed more and more.

Many cities began to govern themselves, the imperial power was completely lost, and officials and civilians were in chaos.

There were also some changes around Mount Huashan and Mount Songshan. Some bandits gradually appeared, but they were immediately dealt with by Lu Chen and others overnight, maintaining peace in the area.

Their actions have won them a lot of good reputation.

Soon, officials from several nearby cities sent letters to explain the political affairs. On the surface, it was naturally difficult to talk about it, but in fact, they had already respected the Five Mountains Sword Sect and formed a dominant position.

Lu Chen did not refuse, take the initiative, or take responsibility for these.

If an official asked him if he had other intentions, he would definitely not be able to find any evidence.

As they are like this, the same is naturally true for the Yuanyue Villa, the Invisible Man, the Dragon Guarding Villa, the Sun and Moon Sect, the Wudang Sect and other forces.

Refugees from all over the world all went to the major forces.

Strictly speaking, the entire Ming Dynasty has been controlled by different warrior forces and divided into four parts.

Naturally, the world became more and more chaotic. Genghis Khan was in a stalemate with the so-called "Anti-Yuan Alliance" for a while, but finally found a way to break the deadlock.

The person who made such a great contribution was a woman in Prince Ruyang's Palace.

This girl's real name was Minmin Temur, and her Han name was Zhao Min. She was the only daughter of King Ruyang and was a close friend of Genghis Khan's daughter Hua Zheng.

However, she is much more powerful than Hua Zheng, who is ignorant of the world. It is said that she has learned martial arts from Ba Siba, Meng Chixing, Li Chimei, Huogong Toudao and Baisun Taoist respectively, and is proficient in more than a hundred schools of martial arts.

He is also smart, proficient in military affairs, eloquent and wise.

She seized the little tricks of cooperation among the alliances of several countries, and after an opportunity, she broke the "Anti-Yuan Alliance", causing the defeat of all the countries and the victory of the Mongols.

However, although the Mongols won, the other countries were still strong and fought hard, and the Mongols did not take the risk to win.

It had destroyed countless nations and knew that the more desperate the situation, the more fierce the resistance. However, after establishing victory, it would give the nation a chance to breathe and then slowly torture it, and a nation would eventually perish.

It is said that within the borders of the Jin Dynasty, many Jin people actually carried their belongings and gold and silver and fled to the Song Dynasty in the south day and night.

When Lu Chen received this news, he couldn't help but sigh.

Think about it carefully, that was just a year ago. What does the snowy and colorful Zhaofu City look like now? Are those nobles of the Jin Dynasty who used the Han, Mongolian, and Liao peoples to fight animals for fun, weeping now?

Are the people on the road where he and thousands of people fled now filled with Jin people?

Things in the world are changing so fast and so dramatically.

It was at this time that, under the guidance of Yan Nantian, Lu Chen integrated his past accumulation, such as the Nine Yin Scriptures, the North Sea Treasure House, the Tianjing Tiger Soul, the Ancient Tomb Quanzhen... and so on, and reached a certain peak.

He finally decided to go to sea.

He is going to look for Peach Blossom Island and Huang Yaoshi. (End of this chapter)
