In the Heavens

After confirming that there are no innate masters in the world, Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help but feel sad when the rabbit died.

The scariest thing is not having a road. As the initiator, it is impossible not to be hated by others. Based on this alone, the Ming court would never want to accept the hearts of the world.

Li Mu has reason to suspect that Zhu Yuanzhang was tricked. In order to prevent the birth of innate masters, they ran to destroy the mountains and rivers, and pushed the various sects to the opposite side, which is definitely not the work of a wise man.

The world is in decline, and the decline of martial arts is inevitable. Even if you don't stop it, how can Xiantian be able to break through if he wants to break through?

Even if someone breaks through, who will be interested in secular rights at that level?

Things have happened, and there is no point in exploring the truth behind them. After finally having the opportunity to learn more about the secrets of Jianghu, Li Mu naturally would not let it go.

"Master, how many top masters are there in the world, and how many belong to the imperial court, Shaolin, Wudang, and Sun Moon God Sect?"

Know yourself and the enemy and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. I am about to join the game of rivers and lakes, so how can I do it without knowing more about the strength of my potential opponents.

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Ning Qingyu said slowly: "The world is so big, who knows how many old and immortal guys are hidden.

However, the number of top masters will definitely not be many. According to the information collected by my Huashan faction, there are 17 people who can be confirmed to be the ultimate masters, and another five people are suspected to be the ultimate masters.

Naturally, the imperial court has the largest number of top masters, there are as many as five of them. Two of them are eunuchs, two are clan members, and one is in Jinyiwei.

Followed by there are four people in Shaolin Temple, you should have heard of them, they are Abbot Yuan Cong and Sanjue Divine Monk.

Then there are Huashan and Wudang, each with two people. The famous Wudang Erxian, and me and you, Uncle Feng.

There are also Dugu Qingyun, the leader of the Sun Moon God Sect, the Living Buddha of Esoteric Buddhism, Zen Master Duren of Nan Shaolin, and Tianshi Zhang of Longhushan.

Qing Xuzi, head of the Tianshan School, He Tianya, the grand elder of the Kunlun School, Mo Dao Duan Hun, the leader of the Demon Sect in the Western Regions, the old man Bian Shan, and Shen Duan Wudi, the leader of the six sects, are all suspected super masters.

It is enough to refer to these materials. There must be hidden masters in both Buddhism and Taoism, and there may also be hidden masters in the great families of Confucianism. "

Good guy, all masters are among the big forces. There is only one scattered person in the rivers and lakes, which is only suspected.

However, Li Mu was not surprised by this situation. The big forces not only have advantages in resources, but also in terms of inheritance, they are incomparable to the scattered people in the world.

Unless it is the protagonist, even if ordinary people have obtained the secret tome of magic skills, it is difficult for ordinary people to achieve great achievements without guidance, and they will fall into the pit if they are not careful.

"Master, the Sun Moon God Sect has only one top master, Dugu Qingyun dares to be so rampant, isn't he afraid of those monks from Shaolin Temple..."

Before Li Mu finished speaking, Ning Qingyu sneered and said, "There are strengths and weaknesses in the same realm, and the top masters are no exception.

I know you have seen Junior Brother Feng make a move, don't think that all top masters are that powerful.

Otherwise, how could Junior Brother Feng be hailed as the number one person in the world? This is not only praised by people in the martial arts, but also achieved with a sword.

Even if you run into weaker top players, you can protect yourself. If there are more elders around, just hit him directly.

There are not many top masters of the Devil's Cult, but the number of followers is the highest in the world. The power of Shaolin Temple is indeed strong, but it is not easy to gather power when someone is holding back.

What's more, it is still unknown whether there are four top masters in Shaolin. In the battle in Luoyang that day, although I was seriously injured, the three old monks were also suffering.

Ben was hit by my sword and hurt his heart. Even if he recovers at his age, he will not live for two years. Once he fights with all his strength, it is the time to die.

Although Benchen and Benwu plotted against me, I also injected a Zixia inner energy into my body. Normally, with their internal strength, it would naturally be able to resolve it slowly, but when they used the secret technique that day...

In short, the three absolute monks are considered useless. Even if Shaolin Temple is willing to take out the Great Returning Pill to heal their injuries, it will last for a year or two at most. "

Sure enough, there are no simple people in the world. The three Shaolin monks were plotting against Ning Qingyu, and they themselves were also caught in the plot.

It's just that the luck of both sides is not very good. The calculation succeeds the opponent, and at the same time, they fall into the opponent's calculation. It's like making room for others, it's useless for everyone to play together.

From this point of view, the rise of the Songshan faction in the original book is reasonable.

Shaolin's top masters were wounded and suffered heavy losses in the ensuing battle between good and evil; the boss of Huashan was defeated in the battle of sword qi again, and the shackles that suppressed them were opened.

So now that the Demon Cult besieges Shaolin, it is not as simple as it appears on the surface. The age of the Sanjue Divine Monk is well known in the world, if no one leaks the news, Dugu Qingyun will definitely not mind waiting a few more years.

There are only so many insiders, if Shaolin Temple didn't leak it out, it can only be done by Huashan School.

It's no wonder that the Zhonghua Mountain faction in the original book has declined badly. Fangzheng still hasn't given up stabbing in the back. The emotional hatred is now accumulated.

If it wasn't for Feng Qingyang's scruples, it might not just be a scheme behind the scenes, but annihilate the family directly.

"Master, what is the relationship between the imperial court and the Devil's Cult, as well as various factions in the Jianghu?"

This question also puzzled Li Mu for a long time. If we talk about hostility, it seems that we have not reached the point of fighting each other; if we talk about cooperation, the two sides are calculating each other.

Especially the Devil's Cult, all of them are the masters on the court's arrest warrant, but after the outbreak of the war between good and evil, the court's various measures are biased towards the Demon's Cult.

With the power of the imperial court, to support the spokesperson in the arena, there will be absolutely no lack of collaborators. Picking an obedient one is definitely much easier to use than the Devil's Cult.

Ning Qingyu smiled slightly, looked in the direction of the capital and said, "I'm afraid no one can explain this question clearly.

All in all, it should be regarded as needing each other!

You see that the imperial court and the rivers and lakes sometimes cooperate and sometimes are hostile, all because of the needs of interests.

In this regard, the imperial court was very contradictory. They wanted peace in the world, but they did not want to bear the population boom brought about by the peaceful and prosperous age.

As evidenced by history, dynasties with prosperous martial arts and frequent wars between good and evil tended to live longer; on the contrary, dynasties whose rivers and lakes were suppressed like a pool of stagnant water died faster.

Except for the Demon Cult, no one likes troubled times.

Both we and the court need order. Only when the world is peaceful can we have enough financial resources to develop ourselves.

In many cases, the factions of the righteous way and the imperial court have stood together to jointly maintain local stability. It's just that during this period, we also cooperated with the aristocratic family to embezzle the power of the imperial court and strengthen ourselves.

On the contrary, the Demon Cult is a rule breaker, which has brought a lot of troubles to the rule of the court; but the slaughter brought by these breakers is precisely what the court needs most.

It can not only reduce the population, but also weaken the strength of various martial arts factions. When necessary, they can also help the emperor kill some disobedient guys, and check and balance the growing civil servant group.

However, the imperial court is untrustworthy, especially in the Ming Dynasty, where strange emperors appear frequently, and no one can guarantee when an abnormal one will appear to exterminate the martial arts.

Therefore, the factions of the righteous way have always maintained a struggle without breaking.

No matter how many swords and swords there are in the dark, everyone will not turn their faces directly on the bright side, so that they can join hands to deal with the suppression of the imperial court one day.

There is even an agreement among our various factions that no one can fall to the imperial court, and those who violate it will be attacked by the whole world.

Due to the pressure from various factions of the righteous way, the Wudang faction cut off from the Ming Dynasty. As a price, the elders of the Demon Sect attacked Wudang Mountain 50 years ago and took away the Tai Chi Sutra and the True Martial Sword.

Of course, this may also be acting. There is a lot of trouble in the world. Apart from the loss of reputation, the loss of Wudang faction is not big.

Even after the split, the relationship between Wudang and the imperial court is still close, which is far from being comparable to that of other factions.

Including my Five Sacred Sword Sect and the Sun Moon God Sect, they are not just hostile. Everyone can also cooperate when needed. "

The truth is cruel, living in a world full of intrigues and deceptions, one is doomed to be inseparable...
