Chapter 456: Martial Arts Sect
Just when Piao Wuxian and Ni Ping'er planned to tie up and dismantle the guy who didn't know if it was really called "Moji Wolf", the middle-aged scribe who was healing suddenly felt a chill all over his body.
"Hey, what the hell is going on? Could it be that someone is trying to frame me?" the middle-aged scribe instantly woke up from meditating with his eyes closed because of the invisible chill, "Hehe, there are so many people who hate me." Haven't I survived so far, though?" the middle-aged scribe thought, but for the sake of safety, he decisively changed a place to heal, and this time it was more secluded than the previous one.
After that martial arts conference, the entire Dongtu Continent immediately became busy. Not only did countless martial arts heroes go straight to the primeval forest, but even many powerful kingdoms also sent capable knight squads. From this, it is not difficult to see the huge influence of the various sects in the Eastern Earth Continent.
In fact, in the era of cold weapons, this phenomenon is normal. Because people who practice martial arts can often exert the power of cold weapons to the limit, and even with their bare hands, they can easily handle ordinary soldiers who are fully armed. In the special era of division and strife, whether a kingdom wants to settle down or expand its territory, it needs a certain amount of force as its backing. Therefore, one kingdom after another will try their best to establish a relationship with the martial arts sect through various channels.
With the martial arts sect as a backer, there are many benefits. At the moment when the kingdom is in danger, these martial arts sects will definitely send a large number of masters to rescue them for their own interests. Even if there is no danger, these kingdoms can send highly qualified young talents who are absolutely loyal to their country to these martial arts sects for training. When these young talents returned from their studies, the kingdom usually sent them deep into the army to teach the warriors martial arts. It can be said that through these martial arts sects, all large and small kingdoms can more or less improve the combat effectiveness of their own armies.
In turn, the various martial arts sects also hope that through cooperation with the secular kingdom, they can easily obtain all kinds of resources they need. What money and living materials, don't talk about it. The most important thing in the development of a martial arts sect is that "there are successors". Therefore, when various large and small kingdoms send young talents with very good qualifications for their own interests, each martial arts sect will often first screen out the best of them as fresh blood to supplement their own sects. These are selected, and in general, they will not be rejected. Because, the elites of the martial arts sect can often obtain more advanced cultivation methods, so their martial arts cultivation in the future will definitely be higher than that of the unsuccessful. In this era of speaking by force, the higher the martial arts cultivation, the higher the social status, and of course, the more benefits you can get.
You may wonder if this act of "digging into the wall" will not lead to strong opposition from the kingdoms, big and small? In fact, the kingdoms will not oppose it, but on the contrary, it will be a great honor for them to have someone chosen in their own country. Because, these selected young talents will have more room for development in the future, and even if they are particularly outstanding, they will have the opportunity to grow into sect elders or heads of sects. In this way, the kingdom, as an elder or head of the motherland, will inevitably receive special care from this sect in the future. Therefore, all kingdoms of all sizes are absolutely "happy to see it" for this kind of "digging into the wall".
It can be said that in the chaotic era of division and strife, the cooperation between the major martial arts sects and the large and small kingdoms on the Eastern Earth Continent is inevitable for the development of the situation. After a long period of development, in the current Eastern Earth Continent, the major martial arts sects and almost all kingdoms have been intertwined together. So, in many cases, disputes between sects often lead to wars between kingdoms, and in the same way, wars between kingdoms are generally mixed with wars between sects.
However, after a long period of reshuffle, today's martial arts has gradually formed a situation in which the ten major sects are proud of the world. The difference in strength between these ten major sects is not too big. Therefore, in order not to lose both, they tend to maintain a certain degree of restraint between each other, and usually there will be no large-scale armed conflicts. And the kingdoms of all sizes in the Eastern Earth Continent are all attached to these ten major sects. It is precisely because of this delicate balance of force that there have been few wars in the Eastern Continent for many years. And the ordinary people on the Dongtu continent were fortunate to enjoy a peaceful life for a long time.
These ten major sects are the great forces of martial arts on the surface, and in addition, there are some martial arts sects lurking in various large and small kingdoms. Because of the differences in cultivation methods, the various factions of martial arts are divided into famous and decent sects and Pengmen evil sects. Most of these ten schools belong to famous and decent schools. And many of those who are lurking are the Pengmen cult. Of course, this is not absolute, many latent sects, the exercises they practice are also decent, but because of their lack of strength, they have to hide in the world in order to survive.
The spheres of influence of the ten major sects are intertwined and very complex. Therefore, at the junction of different forces, there is usually a power vacuum, that is, in the usual sense of "mutual care area". Of course, it is not that the ten major sects are incapable of governing, but that they are afraid of causing unnecessary conflicts and disputes.
These vacuum areas often become buffer zones between the forces of the ten major sects. In general, large-scale armed conflicts often break out first from these buffer zones. But it is precisely because of its unique cushioning effect that these places have become a place where dragons and snakes mingle. Those latent sects (most of which are Pengmen cults) will often take advantage of this vacuum area where no one cares about it to develop their own power frantically.
You must not underestimate these latent sects, although most of them do not have the strength to confront the ten major sects at all, but there are also some of them, due to the continuous accumulation in the shadows, they have slowly developed into a huge force that cannot be underestimated. It can be said that there are a few latent sects that even have the amazing strength to turn the clouds and rain.
But no matter what, the ten major sects are all the power holders on the East Earth Continent, so after the decision was made at that martial arts conference, the entire East Earth Continent also operated because of this. Not only did the various sects send a large number of disciples to rush to the primeval forest, but even those dependent kingdoms also had a lot of moves. Moreover, because this was a joint decision of the ten major sects, the elite light cavalry warbands of these kingdoms rarely went straight to the primeval forest without any interference.
