Xuyue Dao Chang said: "It's really a bit hasty to hold a martial arts conference now, but if that person in the palace really points his spear at the rivers and lakes, we have to think about holding a martial arts conference again, but it's too late." Not to mention www.biquge.info Demon Cultists on the sidelines. ”

Master Huineng said: "Amitabha, since the current emperor succeeded to the throne, everything he has done has been cautious, although this time it happened suddenly, but with his personality, he will not directly attack the various factions of martial arts. And according to the news from Shudi, the six doors of the imperial court have already clashed with the Demon Sect, and it is more likely that the imperial court will be on the wall, if they really want to get involved in this troubled water, it is more likely that they will deal with the Demon Sect with us. ”

Li Gu Lord suddenly frowned and said, "I really agree with the master's opinion, but the convening of the martial arts conference is also very necessary. The Ludong tragedy some time ago, based on my inference, I think it is unlikely that it was done by people from the Demon Sect. ”

"Master Li Gu, your point of view coincides with that of Lao Gao, according to the information that came back, there is indeed no one alive in the tragedy of the Gongsun family's annihilation, and the scene was handled extremely cleanly, leaving no clues. This is not the style of the people of the Demon Cult, but it seems to be the work of some organization that specializes in assassination and extermination. Master Huineng said, in fact, not only him, but almost all the people at the helm of the forces who figured out the situation of the destruction of the Gongsun family had this idea.

It is not difficult to let ordinary Jianghu sects go to destroy the sect, as long as the strength is much stronger by the other party, it can be easily done. But if you want to leave no traces, it is not something that ordinary forces can do, and these people must have undergone special training.

Daoist Xuyue looked at the other two and said, "There are only some killer organizations or six doors in the martial arts that have such skills. But now the largest killer organization in the Great Song Empire, Zhuxin Pavilion, has suffered heavy losses in the last Shu land dispute, and even if the strength of Zhuxin Pavilion is intact, it is impossible to destroy the Gongsun family. As for the six gates, although the strength is stronger than that of the Xuxin Pavilion, it is also impossible to do it so thoroughly. ”

"Actually, we forgot about another force." Li Gu Lord said meaningfully.

Master Huineng and the Void Moon Dao Elder were all exquisite-minded people, and from the expression of Li Gu Lord, they instantly saw the clue.

They seemed to understand what Lord Li Gu was thinking, but they weren't too surprised: "You said it's the imperial court?" ”

Li Gu Lord smiled bitterly: "Apart from the imperial court, I really can't think of any other force that has the motive to attack the Gongsun family. There are quite a few such forces on the Outer Island, but they have no motive to do it. ”

Speaking of the Outer Heavens Island, Lord Li Gu was not as respectful as the Dust Purifier and the others had shown when they mentioned this place before, as if they were talking about an ordinary place.

"But if it is the imperial court, this does not seem to be reasonable, isn't this the current emperor deliberately trying to provoke disputes, which is inconsistent with our inference just now. Could it be that the current emperor has long been preparing to attack the martial arts forces, and his so-called assassination is just to confuse the public and give the imperial court an excuse to attack the martial arts forces. The Void Moon Dao Leader reasoned. In fact, there is some dissatisfaction with the current imperial court.

Nowadays, the Great Song Empire respects Buddhism, and although Taoism is not suppressed, it is not supported, which makes Wudang bow his head in front of Shaolin. Although Daoist Xuyue can also be regarded as a senior master who is indifferent to fame and fortune, it is absolutely impossible for him to say that there is no mustard when it comes to the continuation of this kind of sect.

However, his judgment of this matter is not untargeted, no matter from which point of view, the imperial court is indeed the most suspicious party.

Suddenly, Li Guzhu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he exclaimed softly: "We seem to have forgotten about a huge force. ”

"What force?" Master Huineng and the Void Moon Dao Master were both at a loss.

Li Gu Lord looked at the two of them, pointed to the northwest direction, and said, "Western Liao Empire." ”

Master Huineng and the two of them changed their eyes, and their faces instantly became solemn.

In the territory of the Great Song Empire, due to the weakness of the imperial court, coupled with the division of princes and princes, it was difficult for the entire imperial court to form a joint force, and the influence on the rivers and lakes outside the temple was gradually weakened, and now it has reached an uncontrollable level, which has also created the grand occasion of the ten major schools of martial arts today.

However, this situation was limited to the territory of the Great Song Empire, and the Western Liao Empire, to the northwest of the Great Song Empire, was a different story.

The Western Liao Empire established the country with martial arts, and the way of martial arts was already prosperous. The most important thing is that the imperial court attaches great importance to people who practice martial arts, as long as they are successful in martial arts, they can basically mix up a good errand.

In the Western Liao Empire, civil and military officials were ministers in the same palace, and the status of military officials was higher than that of civilian officials. Therefore, as long as they are really powerful, they are willing to join the imperial court and regard it as a matter of glory to their ancestors.

It can be said that in the entire Western Liao Empire, the power controlled by the imperial court is even greater than the combined forces of the rivers and lakes, which is why with the strength of the Demon Sect, the Western Liao Empire does not dare to be too arrogant, but can only be established as the state religion by the Western Liao Empire. In the final analysis, the strength of the Western Liao Empire itself is already very large, and the cooperation of the Demon Sect as a whole with it is a kind of mutual benefit. If it is the Great Song Empire, I am afraid that the Demon Sect will want to replace it.

According to their inference just now, the Western Liao Empire does have a huge suspicion.

The strength of the Western Liao Empire is one thing, and at the same time there is a motive.

Because the relationship between the Western Liao Empire and the Great Song Empire was not very good, and the two sides were constantly in friction along the border, if they could take the opportunity to provoke the contradiction between the imperial court and the Jianghu forces, it would undoubtedly be very beneficial to the Western Liao Empire.

Maybe even the assassination of the emperor was also done by the Western Liao Empire.

Thinking of the key point, Master Huineng and Xuyue Dao Chang also changed their faces greatly, if this is the case, then the world's lives will not be far away.

"Master Li Gu, Dao Chief, this matter is not trivial, I'm afraid it needs to be considered in the long run." Master Huineng said with a cautious face.

Xuyue Dao said: "Master, it is precisely because this matter is not trivial that it should be dealt with even more quickly. Now rumors are rife in the rivers and lakes, and there is a tendency to completely oppose the imperial court and the forces in the rivers and lakes. Once the words are poked, even if the emperor doesn't want to do anything to the martial arts forces, I'm afraid he can only do it head-on. ”

Li Gu Lord said: "This matter really can't be delayed, if it is really as we deduced, the Western Liao Empire will definitely not wait for us to deploy a counterattack in secret." Nowadays, in the rivers and lakes, no force can resist the master team of the Western Liao Empire alone, this time it is the Gongsun family that is destroyed, and the next time it may be the Nangong family, or even one of the ten major sects. This is the other party's purposeful elimination of the martial arts forces in the Great Song Empire. Therefore, it is imperative that we unite all factions to deal with the threat of this powerful enemy from the west. ”

Master Huineng smiled bitterly and said: "Amitabha, Lord Li Gu doesn't know, in today's martial arts, it seems that the righteous sects are in harmony, but if a martial arts conference is suddenly held, and the leader of the martial arts alliance is elected to rule all factions, I am afraid that there will not be many responders." There are too many interests involved, and many people are short-sighted, believing that the threat of the Demon Sect is still far away, let alone the Western Liao Empire, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away. ”

Li Gu Lord and Xuyue Dao Leader were silent for a moment, although they didn't want to admit it, but it was a fact that could not be concealed.

The smaller the forces, the shorter their vision tends to be, and they often only see their own interests. For example, when a country is facing an invasion by an enemy country, the people or traders of the Shengdou are thinking about how to protect themselves and ensure that their interests are not damaged. They take it for granted that resisting the invasion of an enemy country should be the business of those in power.

In the same way, whether it is the invasion of the Demon Sect or the Western Liao Empire's plot against the Great Song Empire, provoking disputes between the Great Song Dynasty and the martial arts forces, it is very far away for those small and medium-sized forces in the martial arts.

If you really want these people to recognize the alliance of martial arts forces and obey the leadership of the elected alliance leader, you must first let them experience the pain of the skin.

In the final analysis, it was because the territory of the Great Song Empire was too wide.

For example, in the past, the Poison Sect and the Forgetful Sect ravaged Shudi, and they taught a good lesson to the various forces in Shu, and they also knew that once the forces of Qingcheng and Emei were destroyed, their lives would not be easy, so they actively joined the battle of Emei. But if the location of the Poison Sect or the Forgetful Sect is in the Yangzhou area, or even the Longxi area, these small and medium-sized forces in the Shudi Martial Arts will definitely not take any action.

If Master Huineng and others call for the convening of a martial arts conference now, I am afraid that the responders will also be the ten major sects or some more righteous sect forces, and the combination of more than ten forces will have a limited impact on the overall situation.
