Chapter 13: Passive Resistance
Among the seven major sects of the Earth Alliance, the second strongest Yushen Sect and the third Iron Sword Sect were "dispatched" to the north, and the fourth ranked Lingyun Hall and the fifth Flower Sect were "sent" to the west, and the weakest Linggu Sect and the South Pole Gate were kept by his side.
The ten major sects all wanted to unify the imperial martial arts, and there were countless large and small struggles during the period, and later found that none of the sects had the strength to dominate the world alone, and even the strongest Tianyu Sect had no way, so the three major sects in the north took the lead in forming an alliance and established the "Heavenly Alliance" to jointly crusade against the other seven major sects, in order to dominate the world. And the remaining seven families found that no matter how strong a single family was, it would be vulnerable in front of the Heavenly Alliance, so in order to protect themselves, the seven major sects in the south also formed an alliance and established the "Earth Alliance" to confront the Heavenly Alliance.
"Heaven and earth are incompatible, old and dead do not come and go!"
After the establishment of the Heavenly Alliance and the Earth Alliance, there were many major battles.
Although the strength of the three major sects of the Heavenly Alliance is strong, but there are many people in the Earth Alliance, although the Heavenly Alliance has the advantage, there is no problem in swallowing one or two sects, but it does not swallow the strength of the entire Earth Alliance. Between the Heavenly Alliance and the Earth Alliance, there is more of a coming-and-going between you and me, you attacking and robbing, and in the end, everyone fights to lose.
Later, the fight boiled over the people, and under the mediation of His Majesty Li Chenghuan, the nominal emperor of the empire, the 10 major sects of the Heavenly League and the Earth Alliance conducted peace talks in the imperial capital, and reached a treaty of "keeping the existing sphere of influence unchanged and truce with each other", called the "First Heaven and Earth Contract".
The temptation of interest is enormous!
Regardless of the wealth and martial arts secrets accumulated by each sect over the years, just the state city it occupies, the annual tax revenue and the population contributed by it are enough to make a sect blush or even tear its face. At the same time, whether it is the Heavenly Alliance or the Earth Alliance, it is a temporary alliance of interests, and it does not have much binding force on the various sects in the alliance, and everyone still plays their own games. And whether it is within the Heavenly Alliance or the Earth Alliance, in order to maximize their interests, the major sects are constantly engaged in the struggle of intrigue, charm, and power.
Later, with the death of Emperor Li Chenghuan and the 7-year-old Li Zhicheng succeeded him as emperor, the imperial power became even more lonely, and the constraints of the "First Heaven and Earth Contract" became more and more indifferent.
This fragile balance was finally broken in one day!
August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival, night, full moon, is also the day of the celebration of the Tianyu Sect, according to the custom, every year at this time of the day the Tianyu Sect will hold the Zong Celebration Conference, by the sect master in the Tianyu Sect Hall "Lingquan Palace" banquet in the sect elders, the heads of the departments, the rudder of the rudder, to discuss the development of the sect.
Because the battle between the ten major sects is too serious, as the guardian of the Heavenly Alliance and the main sect of the Heavenly Alliance, the power of the Tianyu Sect is scattered in all corners of the empire, so in the past ten years, the Zongqing Conference has been held relatively simply, generally the sect master, the three elders of the sect, the master of the torture hall, the head of the middle feather department, and the general affairs manager participate.
In fact, there are more people from the Tianyu Sect.
The Tianyu Sect has "five departments", which are responsible for carrying out tasks within the empire: the Middle Feather Department, which is responsible for carrying out tasks in the eastern part of the empire, and is headed by Ouyang Lei, the West Feather Department, which is responsible for carrying out tasks in the western part of the empire, and Ouyang Pei, the Southern Feather Department, which is responsible for carrying out tasks in the southern part of the empire, and Ouyang Jing, the Northern Feather Department, which is responsible for carrying out tasks in the northern part of the empire, is in charge of Ouyang Kun, and the Middle Feather Department, which is responsible for guarding the surrounding area of Tianyu Mountain, focusing on the defense of the Tianyu Sect, and is headed by Ouyang Xing.
