Wudang refused to get involved in Jianghu's affairs. Considering the crimes they have suffered in recent years, if this is barely excusable, then Shaolin's actions shocked the entire Jianghu.
Faced with the hopes of fellow practitioners in the martial arts world, Southern Shaolin chose to remain silent, while Northern Shaolin went a step further and directly announced that Shaolin disciples were all outsiders and that they were not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the world of martial arts.
When the world was strong, Northern Shaolin was not so honest. Now when everyone is in danger, Northern Shaolin is the first to jump out and clear the relationship. This is to say clearly that they are willing to bow to Jin Yiwei.
In an instant, countless people cursed, and Northern Shaolin's century-old reputation in the world instantly dropped to freezing point. Countless people in the world who loved them also left in disappointment after hearing this.
The Northern Shaolin sect, which was once a bustling sect, suddenly became desolate. Even the disciples of the Northern Shaolin sect were puzzled by Abbot Lingxu's actions.
In the past ten years, disputes in the world have intensified. Many established forces such as the Wuyue Beggar Clan and Wudang have suffered varying degrees of blows. Some have been relegated to second-rate status, and in the future, they have simply been exterminated.
But despite the numerous storms, Northern Shaolin has always stood firm. It can be said that except for being attacked by foreign monks, they have suffered almost no damage.
But it happened that the intact Northern Shaolin became the first to bow its head. It was worse than Wudang's useless theory of sealing off the mountains and defending itself.
When Lu Hanjiang received the news from the north and the south, he couldn't help but be happy. He expected that Wudang would not come down from the mountain. Although Miao Yunyong still had some heroic spirit as a knight-errant, the position of the leader was already overwhelming.
He can't breathe, and he's not very useful at all.
What's more, even if Miao Yunyong takes the lead, his second junior brother Song Yangui, who was recruited as a think tank by the Wudang Sect, will definitely not let him lead Wudang to eternal destruction.
Therefore, the silence in Wudang was not beyond Lu Hanjiang's imagination, but the silence in Northern Shaolin was a bit thought-provoking.
Logically speaking, if Wudang gives in, then the position of leader of the world will naturally fall to Shaolin. No matter which Shaolin family in the north or south finally stands up against the wind, they will become the leaders of the martial arts alliance in the actual sense.
The appeal of this prestige is not low. Over the years, countless knights and knights have stepped forward to build this empty throne, and they have become the corpses of the throne.
But Shaolin was actually able to let the powerful person in front of him go. This was something Lu Hanjiang didn't expect. Moreover, he had already met Abbot Lingxu, and he didn't seem to have any trump cards in hand.
If there is still a glimmer of hope by uniting all the factions in the world to resist, in the end only the Northern Shaolin family will be left, then they will be truly alone and helpless, with only despair.
Neither of the two imaginary enemies rose up to resist, which made Lu Hanjiang feel a little bored.
It was Shangguan Shaoqin who was the first to seize Gongsun's family property, but it was Jin Yiwei's handiwork that spread the associated reactions to the entire world.
There are so many rumors that everyone is in danger. The current world is like a huge powder keg. As long as someone sends a spark, it will completely explode immediately.
Lu Hanjiang could naturally see the danger involved, and he was also well prepared. With the day-in and day-out efforts of Jinyiwei over the years, Jianghu's power had actually been weakened to a rather embarrassing level.
In general, it is impossible for today's Jianghu to regain the power it had when it forced Meng Yuan. All they can do is to use their lives to ignite the final flame and let Lu Hanjiang watch a grand fireworks.
Performance.
Unfortunately, due to the retreat of the two giants of Wudang and Shaolin, even this last flash in the pan may become a luxury for various factions.
Under the premise that Wudang Shaolin should not be the leader, Lu Hanjiang is even more troublesome to deal with the counterattack of the entire world, because the opponent is no longer a united body gathered in one place, but a scattered sand in the north and south.
However, the overall difficulty has been greatly reduced. Without the help of Shaolin and Wudang masters, the remaining Jianghu forces are nothing to worry about.
This is the righteous way, not to mention the evil way. It is nonsense for the Xuantian Sect to go south. With the Jinyi Guards around, it is impossible for them to mobilize their troops on a large scale.
In the past, it was the Jin Yiwei who wanted to divert trouble eastward, but now once the imperial court tightens the belt, half of the Xuantian believers in the north will not even think about going south.
As for the Thousand-faced Dharma King and several other difficult masters, once they show up, the masters of the Imperial Guard will deal with them.
Lu Hanjiang had already made adequate plans. As long as Jianghu launched a full-scale counterattack and the Xuantian Sect dared to intervene, he would immediately send Wu Qiming and Xu Le north to outflank the retreat.
Even if the old man and Qiu Qingyun are not included, the power Lu Hanjiang has in his hands now is enough to put an end to this turmoil. This is the reason for him to stand aside and even add fuel to the flames.
However, without the leader, the remaining Jianghu sects really became a mob. After Yuan Muhan, the leader of Kunlun, was rejected by Wudang, he moved to Shu and visited the Emei Qingcheng family. Unfortunately, he could not say anything.
move.
It's easy to say in Emei. The previous shameful performance of the head "Su Xiuxiu" in Beidi is still fresh in the memory of every Taoist sect. If they don't come, they might worry that they will never come back.
But the passivity of the Qingcheng faction seems a bit unreasonable. It is understandable that Guiyun and Konggu are not the leaders and are unable to make the decision. However, the world has been in chaos because of this matter. There is no reason that the real Yushu who is outside has not heard the news.
Although the leader of Qingcheng has a gentle temperament, he is not greedy for life and death. The other party did not respond positively, so the subtext could only be a tactful rejection.
Yuan Muhan stayed in the Qingcheng Sect for several days, but could not wait for any good news. Angrily, he planned to raise his own arms, but unfortunately, there were only a few people who responded.
On the one hand, there is a lack of confidence in the Kunlun sect, and on the other hand, it is a vigorous effort, which has declined again and again, and finally exhausted. After wandering most of the world, no one is willing to take the lead, and each of the sects in the world has begun to think about retreating.
Under the premise that the Jin Yiwei did not waste a single soldier, the various factions in the rivers and lakes caused their morale to fall into a complete slump by themselves. They were originally a mess, but they quickly dispersed.
Each family swept the snow in front of their own door, just like Feng Ziye said, they closed the door and thanked guests. Yuan Muhan was so angry and cursed at the cowardice of this group of people, but the Kunlun family was not the opponent of the imperial court. He was very angry.
Afterwards, I could only go home angrily.
Jiang Hu's negative reaction made Lu Hanjiang burst into laughter after hearing it. After the laughter was over, he also felt bored. He was not a lunatic who was afraid of chaos in the world, but he was so weak that he had nowhere to use his power.
But even if everything goes well, Lu Hanjiang has no plans to return to Beijing. The increasingly peaceful life has not wiped away his thoughts of fun, but has doubled them.
However, this peace only lasted for more than a month. One day, Princess Yongle, who was being taken by Lu Hanjiang to taste Jiangnan delicacies, suddenly retched without warning.
The extremely nervous Jin Yiwei immediately sealed off the entire restaurant. Just as the owner of the restaurant shivered and knelt outside the door to plead guilty, the doctor who was treating Yongle suddenly relaxed his frown. He knelt down with relief and congratulated: "Congratulations.
