Everyone from the major sects watched this scene, and their eyes flashed vigilance.

  Although at this time, the major sects have already occupied an absolute advantage, but once they continue to fight on a large scale to the end, these sects will also suffer heavy losses.

  For a time, everyone on the square focused their attention on Dongfang Bai.

  Seeing this, Dongfang Bai's expression kept changing, but he was thinking about the timing that Zhu Houzhao mentioned.

  "The decree has arrived!"

  At this moment, at the top of the Blackwood Cliff, a slightly shrill, but terrifying voice suddenly sounded.

  At the same time as the voice fell, an old eunuch wearing a scarf hat and a red robe with a white face and no beard suddenly walked from the crowd towards the middle of the square at the top of Heimu Cliff.

  Behind the old eunuch, there was also a team of Jin Yiwei warriors wearing flying fish suits, walking proudly.

  In the hands of the three Jin Yiwei, all of them were holding a rectangular tray with a roll of bright yellow scrolls in each tray.

  With the movement of the old eunuch and his group, whether they were from the major sects or from the Sun Moon God Sect, all of them involuntarily made way for them.

  Master Fang Zheng and others, looking at the old eunuch who suddenly broke in, and the Jin Yiwei behind him, their expressions changed drastically.

  They did not expect that the people of the court would appear at this time.

  And those who participated in the Liu Zhengfeng Golden Basin Handwashing Conference suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts.

  The last time at the Liu Zhengfeng Golden Basin Handwashing Conference, there was an imperial decree first, and then the appearance of Zhu Houzhao and his party, but it made everyone who has been to Liu Mansion remember it deeply!

  Apart from Dongfang Bai and Qu Yang from the Sun Moon God Cult, the others watched this scene and looked at each other for a while, not knowing what to do.

  The relationship between the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and the imperial court has never been very good. Because of the religious name, it was severely suppressed by the imperial court, and later it was directly changed.

  Fan Yao, Yin Tianzheng and other veterans of the Sun and Moon Sect were also very dissatisfied with the imperial court.

  However, the appearance of the imperial court at this time also made the people of the Sun Moon God Cult sense a turning point.

  What surprised everyone even more was that the aura of the old eunuch in red made everyone dare not ignore it.

  This old eunuch in red is the old eunuch who calls himself Sunflower in the Book Collection Pavilion of Daming Palace, and because of his strength and age, he is respected by others as Sunflower Ancestor.

  The imperial court came to convey the imperial decree, which is naturally what Zhu Houzhao meant. In this half-month time, Zhu Houzhao had already prepared the imperial decree.

  Originally, Zhu Houzhao didn't think about letting Sunflower Ancestor convey his will.

  It's just that Sunflower Ancestor was worried that Zhu Houzhao's side was not strong enough, so he came here in person.

  After the group of heroes looked at each other for a while, Master Fang Zheng, as a representative, stepped forward to face Sunflower Patriarch with his hands clasped together, and said slowly: "¨"Amitabha, may I ask this father-in-law, what is the Holy Master's will?"

  After Master Fang Zheng asked, other people on the square also looked at Sunflower Ancestor, and their hearts were full of curiosity.

  Sunflower Ancestor's eyes (Qian Li's) swept over everyone, and said indifferently: "There are three imperial decrees issued by the Holy One, what are the specifics, you can listen to it with peace of mind."

  Everyone in the square on the top of Heimuya saw the attitude of Sunflower Ancestor towards Master Fang Zheng, and their hearts were all thoughtful and relaxed.

  Everyone in the Sun Moon Divine Sect felt that there was a turning point, and the hearts of everyone from the major sects also became a little heavy.

  Master Fang Zheng said, "Amitabha, since that is the case, Lao Na is all ears."

  Ancestor Sunflower nodded slightly, then took out a bright yellow scroll from the three trays behind him and slowly opened it, and began to read aloud: "Fengtian, the emperor's edict: This is the chaos in the rivers and lakes, Gein..."

  As Sunflower Ancestor read out, the expressions of the heroes on the square changed drastically.

  Whether it is the Sun Moon God Cult or the major sects, they all feel a deep conflict and unease about the content of this imperial edict. .

Chapter 242

  Ancestor Sunflower ignored the crowd and read out the contents of the imperial edict in detail. When the last sentence was read out, there was a bit of coldness in his tone.

  "From now on, the Daming Empire will set up the Quicksand Guard to monitor the rivers and lakes! Anyone who does not follow the law and disrespect the imperial court can be executed first and then paid for it! Appreciate this!"

  "Shh!"

  Hearing the last sentence, feeling the meaning of killing in the imperial decree, as well as the coldness in the tone of Sunflower Patriarch, the expressions of the heroes above Heimuya Square suddenly changed.

  At this moment, the two sides who were originally hostile had the same thoughts in their hearts, that is, they were unwilling to accept this imperial edict.

  People in the rivers and lakes have always believed in "the court is the court and the rivers and lakes are the rivers and lakes, and the two do not interfere with each other", but now, the Ming Dynasty obviously wants to interfere in the rivers and lakes.

  Once the Daming court is allowed to intervene in the Daming rivers and lakes, wouldn't they have to be subject to various constraints in the future?

  These martial arts people yearned for the pleasures and grievances of the rivers and lakes. They have always kept their distance from the imperial court, and even despised some martial arts people who joined the imperial court.

  Just like Liu Zhengfeng before, people in the world heard that he became a court official, and most people sneered at him, thinking that he was willing to degenerate!

  Becoming an official of the imperial court has already scratched the same sign as self-indulgent depravity. This shows that people in the rivers and lakes have a bad attitude towards the imperial court!

  Today, the Ming Dynasty actually wants to directly control the entire river and lake, how can they be reconciled?

  However, although everyone was dissatisfied with this domineering practice of the imperial court, no one was the first to stand up rashly and provoke the majesty of the imperial court.

  The big deal, when the quicksand guards are there, they will calm down a little, or simply solve the problem together with the quicksand guards.

  This is probably what most of the people present are thinking at this moment.

  Even so, everyone still turned their attention to the direction of Shaolin and Wudang, wanting to see the reaction of Taishan Beidou in these two Daming rivers and lakes.

  Unfortunately, to everyone's disappointment, neither Shaolin nor Wudang made any statement.

  After reading the imperial decree, Ancestor Sunflower put the imperial decree back on the tray, then looked at everyone, and said coldly: "Our family here reminds you, you must take the will of the Holy Spirit to your heart, or wait until the quicksand. When Wei arrives at the door, don't say that you don't say anything!"

  After finishing speaking, ignoring the people whose expressions were changing, Sunflower Ancestor continued to take out the second imperial decree and read it out.

  "Fengtian, the emperor's edict said: I have heard that the forgiveness book is coming, don't lose my heart, return early, and I will use it. I appreciate it."

  This second imperial decree is precisely for recruiting the Sun Moon God Cult, probably to let the Sun Moon God Cult submit to the imperial court. The guilt of the past will be reduced to small sins and minor sins, and the court will reuse the talented people. .

  On the square, the people of the Sun Moon God Sect and the people of the major sects were shocked again when they heard the content of this imperial edict.

  The current emperor of Ming Dynasty first decreed the establishment of Quicksand Guardian to monitor the rivers and lakes, and now he has decreed to recruit the Sun Moon God Cult. It seems that he really cares about the Daming Jianghu!

  However, when the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was about to be destroyed, and when their major sects were about to divide up their interests, the imperial court ordered the Sun and Moon Divine Sect to be reinstated. Isn't this robbing them of the fruits of victory?

  Thinking of this, the faces of everyone from the major sects are a little ugly.

  The Sun Moon God Cult, although they surrendered to the imperial court, could get rid of the crisis of destruction, but since then they lost their freedom and became the imperial court eagle dogs, and many of them were extremely reluctant.

  On the one hand, he was destroyed by the major sects, and on the other hand, he surrendered to the imperial court and lost his freedom.

  No matter which choice it is, it is so difficult to accept.

  After reading the second imperial decree, Sunflower Ancestor looked at Dongfang Bai and said lightly, "Master Dongfang, still haven't accepted the decree?"

  On the top of Heimuya, the two sides above the square, when they heard the words of Sunflower Ancestor, all focused their attention on Dongfang Bai, wanting to see her choice.

  Dongfang Bai glanced at each of the major sects, then slowly swept in the direction of the Sun Moon God Sect, knelt down on one knee in the direction of Sunflower Ancestor, and said respectfully, "Dongfang Invincible accepts the decree."

  Seeing Dongfang Bai accepting the decree so happily, Ancestor Sunflower also had a flash of surprise in his heart, nodded slightly, and then handed over the decree in his hand to Dongfang Bai.

  "Wow!"

  Seeing that Dongfang Baizhen received the imperial edict, there was an uproar on the Heimuya Square.

  In the Daming Jianghu, although Dongfang Bai is a rising star, her prestige is absolutely resounding throughout the Jianghu. Whether it is her terrifying strength or her domineering style of behavior, it will make everyone in the Daming Jianghu feel fearful!

  In the hearts of these martial arts practitioners, even if they are enemies, they admire Dongfang Bai very much.

  However, they never thought that Dongfang Bai would actually choose to accept the will of the imperial court!

  Is she really afraid of death?

  "Sect Master, you..." Fan Yao, Yin Tianzheng and the others couldn't help but speak directly to Dongfang Bai, trying to persuade her to reject the imperial decree.

  However, Dongfang Bai directly waved his hand to interrupt a few people, and said lightly: "As the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, I naturally have to consider all the members of the church. I know that you are not afraid of death, but the Sun Moon God Sect has tens of thousands of members. , do you really want them all buried with the Holy Sect?"

  "This..." Hearing Dongfang Bai's words, Fan Yao and the others were at a loss for words.

  The people of the major sects were also somewhat caught off guard by such a sudden change.

  However, how can they be reconciled to let them give up the fruits of victory like this?

  Mie Shitai, Zuo Lengchan, He Taichong and others all focused their attention on Master Fang Zheng and Song Yuanqiao, looking forward to their reactions.

  The old god Song Yuanqiao was there, as if it had nothing to do with him.

  Master Fang Zheng hesitated for a moment, clasped his hands together, and was ready to stand up and reason with Sunflower Patriarch.

  Ancestor Sunflower glanced at Master Fang Zheng and said indifferently: "What do I have to say, I will talk about it after I finish reading the last imperial decree."

  Seeing this, Master Fang Zheng bowed slightly to the Sunflower Ancestor, and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

  Ancestor Sunflower ignored the people with different expressions on the square, took out the last imperial decree again, opened it, and read it out loudly: "Fengtian, the emperor's edict said: I have heard that there is a holy place in the Ming Dynasty, Wudang... I will be conferred Wudang on this day. It is the state religion of Daming, and the founder of Wudang School, Zhang Sanfeng, is the state teacher of Daming, and I hope Wudang will set an example for Daming rivers and lakes, and I will live up to my expectations, and I respect this!"

  boom!

  After Sunflower Ancestor read the last imperial decree, more than [-] martial arts practitioners in the entire Heimuya Square were instantly fried! .

Chapter 243

  The Wudang sect is regarded as one of the four holy places in the rivers and lakes, and its status is respected, but the respect of the Wudang sect is also limited.

  Otherwise, the last time there would be no such thing as the major sects coercing the Wudang sect.

  Today, the Ming Dynasty has directly conferred the Wudang School as the state religion and Zhang Sanfeng as the state teacher. This news is really shocking!

  Once the Wudang sect became the state religion of the Ming Dynasty, its status would definitely be greatly improved, leaving Shaolin, which was originally close to Wudang, far away.

  On the other hand, the Wudang faction has an extremely important position and influence in the Daming arena .

  Regarding the two imperial decrees read by Sunflower Patriarch, the tendency of Wudang Sect is obvious.

  In this way, the major sects present should also reconsider their own sects and what choices should be made.

  Thinking of this, everyone focused their attention on the direction of the Wudang faction, especially Zhang Sanfeng's eldest disciple, Song Yuanqiao, the acting head of the Wudang faction, who became the focus of everyone's attention.

  Ancestor Sunflower held the imperial decree in both hands, handed it to Song Yuanqiao, and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the Wudang faction and Song Daxia. When Song Daxia returns to the Wudang faction, remember to say hello to Zhang Zhenren on my behalf. By the way, our Sunflower."

  Song Yuanqiao bowed to the Sunflower Ancestor, took the imperial decree with both hands, and said respectfully, "The Wudang faction accepts the decree. If the Sunflower Ancestor is to be spoken, Song Yuanqiao will definitely bring it to the tutor in person."

  Hearing Sunflower reporting her family, Song Yuanqiao instantly remembered this person's identity, and his attitude was even more respectful.

  A few people, including Master Fang Zheng, heard the word "sunflower", and their eyes flashed solemnly.
