There is an octagonal pavilion on the mountain, which is mottled and old.
When the sun goes down, the red waves boil, and at the beginning of the month, white smoke blooms.
The octagonal pavilion, surrounded by water on three sides, stands facing the wind, adding a bit of fairyland amidst the drizzle.
In the Octagonal Pavilion, a tall young man wearing a black python robe and brocade clothes looked at Jincheng surrounded by mountains. Most of the cities in Jiannan Road were like this. They were built on the flat land surrounded by mountains. Everyday life was thin.
The fog is thick.
Because of this, the sect strength of Jiannan Road has developed rapidly, including two major systems of martial practitioners and Taoists.
The young man in the python robe had a penetrating gaze. He was holding an ancient book in his hand and was reading it slowly. There seemed to be a few deep breaths in the corner of the pavilion.
The drizzle fell on the corners of the pavilion, gathering into droplets and falling on the ground.
On Qingmang Mountain, the drizzle fell from high in the sky, cut through the turbid air, and fell into the noisy world, making a pattering sound.
Not long after, a clear whistle suddenly came from the mountain, and an old man came flying from the bottom of the mountain.
The old man has a thin face and pale skin, but his eyes are bright and his body is strong.
Wearing a black robe with fluttering sleeves, he walked like a dragon and a tiger, and in an instant he ran straight from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain like a bolt of lightning.
The appearance of the old man seemed to cause a sense of oppression in the air. His aura was so powerful that ordinary people dared not look directly at him.
The old man glanced around, his eyes resting on the young man reading in the pavilion, and his eyes couldn't help but condense slightly.
"King Yan."
Cao Su put down the scroll and raised his eyes lightly.
"Sect Master Shi, we meet again."
Shi Wendao laughed and moved half a step to the side seemingly inadvertently. He was still quite wary of Cao Su. The hurried fight in Shangshu Mansion that day made him realize that Cao Su's martial arts was not inferior to his.
After reaching the Half-Step Mysterious Realm, all his energy should be spent on breaking through to the Mysterious Realm. Therefore, if he can avoid fighting Cao Su, he will not fight.
Although the conditions offered by Li Rang were generous, Shi Wenwen knew the priorities at this time.
Shi Daodao smiled and said: "King Yan really has a wide range of friends. He even invites wonderful people like Hongxian."
"Sect Master Lu told me in his letter that King Yan was going to come to see Shi himself. Shi still didn't believe it. She, Lu Hongxian, had been in seclusion for decades and was also heading to the Xuan Realm. How could she care about the affairs of the court?"
"It turns out that I was wrong. There is still a difference between the Tianyin Sect and our Tianxiahui."
Shi Wenwen shook his hand and found a letter somewhere. What was probably written in the letter was about Lu Hongxian's appointment with him.
Cao Su looked at the old man with a smile but not a smile: "Sect Master Lu is very enthusiastic, but Master Shi is unwilling to meet me. There is no other way, so I had to come to Jiannan Road to try my luck in person. I was lucky, and I found him right away.
Where are Sect Master Shi’s men?”
Shi Dao laughed angrily, is this luck?
How could we be so lucky that the entire Jincheng City was targeting Peony Square?
The chess piece Bai Shikang of Mudanfang has been buried there for many years. He has always been good, collecting intelligence for him, but now he is good, and Cao Su has made it known to everyone.
Shi Wenwen's eyes flashed, and he sneered in his heart: "Prince Yan came to see me today. What do you mean?"
Cao Su put his hand on the stone table and said with a smile: "Sect Master Shi, I have something to ask for, and I hope you can help me."
Shi Wendao frowned and said coldly: "King Yan, we have no friendship between you. Is there anything you need my help with?"
Cao Su laughed in surprise: "How can we say that we have no friendship? A few days ago in Shangshu Mansion, didn't Sect Master Shi fight with me? Even though we had a quick farewell that day, I knew that Sect Master Shi was very good at martial arts.
"
Shi Wenwen thought to himself that Cao Su was quite thick-skinned. The two of them had clearly fought against each other that day, but now in Cao Su's words, they had become friends.
Cao Su continued: "It doesn't matter whether we have friendship or not. What matters is whether Sect Master Shi is willing to do this."
Shi Wendao pondered for a long time and then asked: "What's the matter?"
Cao Su smiled softly: "Of course the world will return to the number one sect in Jiannan Road. I wonder if Sect Master Shi is interested in this?"
When Shi Wenwen heard what Cao Su said, his eyes suddenly burst into bright light, and he looked at Cao Su who was smiling but not smiling in disbelief.
Cao Su had a strong aura and was sitting there without moving. But at this moment, in Shi Wenwen's eyes, it seemed that everything was under Cao Su's control.
Even people who have cultivated to his level have their minds swaying for a moment.
Shi Daowao was surprised and asked, "Does King Yan really mean what he said?"
Shi Wenwen is now bent on seeking the Xuan Realm, but Tianxiahui is the sect he founded by himself. It has also been his long-cherished wish to make Tianxiahui the leader of the martial arts alliance in Jiannan Road again.
Now that Cao Su had revealed his long-cherished wish so straightforwardly, Shi Wenwen couldn't help but feel confused.
At this moment, he hurriedly asked, but Cao Su remained calm.
After a pause, he said calmly: "What this king says has always been -"
"One word and nine tripods!"
Boom!!!
As Cao Su finished speaking, a ray of light shone out from the sky that was still covered with drizzle, and the muffled summer thunder rolled in. Matching his words, it was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.
Shi Wenwen was horrified at the implication of Cao Su's words.
Who can keep his word and keep his promise?
It seems that the rumors in the world are indeed good at all. Cao Su has already replaced the Qianyuan Wen family and become the new Tian family.
A figure who looked like a real dragon emperor extended an olive branch to Shi Wenwen and promised that Gangtianxia would return to the peak of Jiannan Road.
If anyone else had said that, Shi Wenwen might have slapped him away with his palm.
But that was Cao Su, one of the most powerful people in the world. Would it be a lie for such a person to say such things?
Shi Wenwen was confused. Although his face was still calm, his heart was beating violently: "How can King Yan help me? What does King Yan want me to do?"

Cao Su smiled and said: "The matter that I asked Sect Master Shi for help may be difficult for other sects, but for Sect Master Shi, it is a trivial matter."
Cao Su's words made Shi Wenwen feel more and more uncertain. What King Yan said was too unreliable. People in the court would fall out whenever they wanted. They must not take it lightly.
Cao Su felt satisfied when he saw that Shi Wenwen had cooperated with him by default.
Although being the King of Yan has many more rules, which makes him a little uncomfortable, the corresponding benefits are also obvious.
For example, when I discuss with ordinary people, I get more and more positive responses from them. For example, Shi Wendao, although he "went astray" before, now he can be regarded as a reliable righteous man in the world.
He smiled and said, "Sect Leader Shi is indeed generous."
Shi asked:
Cao Su said bluntly: "The place where I asked Sect Leader Shi for help is to hold the Jiannan Dao Martial Arts Conference in the name of Sect Master Shi. Sect Leader Shi should have held the Martial Arts Conference thirty years ago, and he should be relatively familiar with the process.
.”
Martial arts conference?
Shi Wendao was stunned and said quickly: "King Yan, this is"
Cao Su glanced at Shi Wenwen and smiled slightly: "I have heard that many sects in Jiannan Road have criticized me and the court. I also know that in the past period of time, the court has taken care of itself flawlessly. For
It is true that Jiannan Dao has no help, and it is reasonable for the Jianghu comrades in Jiannan Dao to have some opinions about the imperial court."
"But it's different now. The imperial court has been reformed, and I am in power. The whole court is prosperous. From Youzhou to Yuzhou, the country stretching for thousands of miles has been stabilized. Last year, the year before last, and the year before that, Youzhou
The state capital, Jizhou capital and other places have a great harvest, and the people live a prosperous life, just like a prosperous age."
"So I thought, nothing in this world can't be explained clearly. Since there is no such platform and mechanism for everyone to communicate with each other, and misunderstandings arise, then we might as well build a platform so that everyone can discuss any opinions they have.
Yes!"
Cao Su said this to Shi Wenwen with a smile. The implication was that he wanted to take advantage of Shi Wenwen's martial arts conference to show off his cards to the Jiannan Dao Wulin.
Of course, Shi Wendao knew that the turmoil in Jiannan Road was about to come. This sense of turmoil came from external pressure.
Cao Su seems to be coveting Jiannan Road, and to unify Jiannan Road this time, Cao Su plans to take the Jianghu route.
There are many sects in Jianghu in Jiannan Dao. It is the world of sects, and the government is weak. It is worse than Lingzhou.
Since it is the world of sects, we should use the Jianghu method to handle things.
Shi Wenwen understood what Cao Su meant, and he looked at Cao Su in surprise.
Cao Su said calmly: "After the martial arts conference is successfully held, the Jiannan Dao Wulin will need a martial arts leader. In my opinion, Sect Master Shi is highly respected and has strong martial arts skills. He can be the leader of the Jiannan Dao Wulin. I can personally do it."
Sect Master Shi issued an iron certificate of alchemy in the name of the true leader of the alliance."
Shi Wendao's heart trembled, the leader of the martial arts alliance, dominating the martial arts?
More than thirty years ago, he served as the leader of the martial arts alliance for a short time. At its peak, the Tianxiahui swept through the Jiannan Dao martial arts community.
Now thirty years later, will he have another chance to ascend to the throne of the martial arts leader?
With the mysterious realm broken, his heart, which shouldn't be turbulent anymore, couldn't help but become agitated again.
——
A few days later, news spread in Jiannan Road.
Tian Xia Hui Shi Wendao, has really come back to the world!
At first, the news came from Jincheng. Someone in Mudanfang heard the news about Shi Wendao. The shopkeeper Bai of Mudanfang, who had been operating in Jincheng for many years, turned out to be the White Tiger Protector, one of the four protectors under Shi Wendao.
Isn’t Protector White Tiger a master of the upper level of the force realm? Then Shopkeeper Bai’s martial arts skills are not above the middle level of the force realm.
Many secrets from those years gradually emerged. It turned out that Shi Wenwen's two apprentices besieged Shi Wenwen, but were intercepted by the four guardians. The four guardians were all high-level martial arts. In the battle that year, the two of them
He died on the spot, one was seriously injured and disappeared, and the other managed to escape. The one who was seriously injured and disappeared was the White Tiger Protector, who is also the current shopkeeper Bai.
Good fellow, these kinds of secrets are what Jianghu people are most interested in, and the news is quickly spread around like wings.
At the same time, news about Shi Wenwen, the leader of Tianxiahui, was also transmitted simultaneously. Some people heard that Shi Wendao was reborn after 30 years of seclusion and had already practiced first-class martial arts.
When Shi Wenwen came back, the Jiannan Dao world, which was already a bit precarious, became even more turbulent.
A few days later, Shi Wendao announced at Qingmang Mountain that he would hold another martial arts conference in Jiannan Dao and invite top-notch forces from the three sects and eighteen sects in Jiannan Dao to participate in the martial arts conference.
The top forces in Jiannan Road today are the three sects and one gang, among which the three sects refer to the Divine Sword Sect, Yunhai Villa, and Yushixuan, and the first gang refers to the Feihong Gang. Under the three sects and one gang, only
It is one of the eighteen first-class sects, which can be regarded as a second-class martial arts sect.
After that, there are second-rate sects, and their number is even greater.
These sects divided large and small activity areas and became the power structure of the entire Jiannan Road.
Three sects and a group of eighteen sects have all received invitations from Shi Wendao. These twenty-two sects are invited to meet on Qingmang Mountain outside Jincheng on the first day of next month. Shi Wendao is going to hold a martial arts conference to discuss swords with the heroes.
Jianghu affairs in South Road.
In the past many years, Jiannan Road has not been able to hold a martial arts conference. In the final analysis, it is because of insufficient appeal.
As soon as Shi Wenwen came back, the entire Jiannan Dao martial arts world was in turmoil. In his invitation to the twenty-two sects, Shi Wendao listed conditions that they could not refuse.
Will you participate? Is anyone participating?
There was a lot of discussion in the world. Why didn't Shi Wendao hide well and hold a martial arts conference? Has he really mastered unparalleled martial arts? Aren't he afraid that his enemies will come to him?
Jincheng, Chiyan Sect, is one of the eighteen first-class sects.
Hua Zhong, the master of the Red Flame Sect, was the first to respond to Shi Wendao and expressed his intention to participate in this martial arts conference.
"Leader Shi is the leader of the martial arts alliance. For the past thirty years, Jiannan Road has been leaderless. Since the leader of the martial arts alliance requested to convene a martial arts conference at such a critical juncture, why not go?"
The words of Hua Zhong, the master of the Red Flame Sect, triggered heated discussions.
Shi Huazhong followed Shi Wenwen thirty years ago, and the same was true for the Chiyan Sect. As one of the sects affiliated with the Tianxiahui, it was almost wiped out in the turmoil. Unexpectedly, Shi Huazhong was still there.
After learning a lesson, he still had to force his way forward, and many people in the world laughed at him.
But the example of someone taking the lead is powerful. As the Chiyan Sect announced its participation in the conference, other sects among the eighteen sects also expressed their willingness to come to Qingmang Mountain.
Qingmang Mountain is originally located in the middle area of Jiannan Road, and many sects have a similar distance.
Thirty years ago, Shi Wenwen held a martial arts conference on Qingmang Mountain and became the leader of the martial arts alliance in Jiannan Road.
Thirty years later, Shi Wendao issued an order again. The power of Tianxiahui was no longer what it was before, and could even be said to be better than nothing. Shi Wendao only relied on his own depleted prestige, and very few responded.
This made Shi Wenwen look ugly, and he realized for the first time that Jiannan Road was no longer the Jiannan Road he had swept across in the past.
The time soon came to the first day of September, and all kinds of ghosts and snake gods on Jiannan Road gradually appeared on the boundary of Qingmang Mountain.
