The news of the defeat of the Xiongba and the loss of the World Association quickly spread throughout the rivers and lakes. In the month since the Dragon Boat Festival, people on the rivers and lakes have been talking about the news.

This is a big event, a big event that has changed the pattern of the world.

Originally, the Central Plains martial arts have always been a pattern of standing side by side:

Earlier, there were eight major factions together, and later there was the rise of the Tianxia Society and the symmetry of the north and south of the Wushuang City, and it is now ...... The world will destroy the Wushuang City, and the Heavenly Mountain Villa will rise in the south of the Yangtze River to replace the power of the Wushuang City.

Just when everyone thought that the Heavenly Mountain Villa and the Tianxia Society would be opposed, and the pattern of the division of the north and the south would continue, the news came that the Heavenly Mountain Villa would challenge the Tianxia Society.

For this challenge, some people say that Yuan Hao, the owner of Zhutian Mountain Villa, is too arrogant and even wants to swallow an elephant with a snake when his foothold is not stable......

In short, they were either cold-eyed or well-intentioned, and they didn't believe that Yuan Hao would be able to challenge the hegemony successfully.

Even before this, there were legends that the heroes of the Sword Worship Villa had been defeated by Yuan Hao, but people thought that it was just a special thing under special circumstances - the Thunderbolts of the Heavenly Villa were already famous all over the world at that time, and when the Sword Worship Conference of the Sword Worship Villa was held, someone found that the Heavenly Villa actually sent a group of 10,000 thunderbolts to ambush on the left side of the Worship Sword Villa.

What is its meaning, it can be seen from the inexplicable behavior of Baijian Mountain Villa to take refuge in Zhutian Mountain Villa later.

The Heavenly Mountain Villa has undoubtedly taken a ruthless chess piece.

Everyone thought that Xiongba knew the news, and the strength of the Heavenly Mountain Villa was forced to admit defeat, after all, he also had to ask for responsibility for his subordinates. This retreat did not affect his status in the hearts of the Jianghu people.

There are still many smart people on the rivers and lakes, and everyone has seen the truth that Xiongba was forced to retreat. They can still accept such a truth, although they are also surprised that Yuan Hao's strength can be improved to a situation similar to that of Xiongba, but most of the Jianghu people are still very happy to be able to appear with an opponent who is evenly matched with Xiongba.

What they fear most is a pool of stagnant water, and there is no topic to talk about. An unlively Jianghu is quite sad for the Jianghu people. At that time, they were also glad that Xiongba had an opponent, but they didn't want to receive the news that Yuan Hao was going north to challenge Xiongba.

"It's so fast!" thought most of them.

But before they could fully digest the news, the top of the Tianshan Mountains came the news that the heroes had been defeated and fled, and the world would return to Yuan Hao.

Dominate the rivers and lakes, this hero has been fighting for decades and barely completed half of the work in the hands of such a young man as Yuan Hao, which really makes the people in the rivers and lakes feel stunned, and have to think about how they should deal with the next situation.

Yuan Hao unified the rivers and lakes, which is actually just a statement on the surface. In fact, Yuan Hao only controls the Tianxiahui and Jiangnan, who has just been defeated by him for more than half a year.

He has mastered the overall situation of these two places, but outside the overall situation, there are all kinds of master forces in the world, hidden sects, small sects in remote places, and the remnants of the eight major sects that are still circulating are not under his control. They have always been a force that is not controlled by the Tianxia Society and the Peerless City.

Although they lowered their heads from the very beginning and acknowledged the strength of the Tianxiahui and Wushuang City, other than that, they would not obey the orders of the Tianxia Society and Wushuang City.

If it is said that in the world of the Central Plains today, the martial arts supreme who nominally dominates the country is Zhou Tianzi, then the hegemony of the Tianxia Association and the Dugu side of the former Wushuang City can be regarded as the existence of Fang Bo, and these free sect forces are the princes under Fang Bo.

These princes were nominally on an equal footing with the Tianxia Society and the Wushuang City, but in reality they had to give them a corresponding respect.

To put it simply, the Tianxiahui and Wushuang City at that time were the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period. The overlord is a cut below the Son of Heaven, but he holds real power. And now that the two overlords have withdrawn from the stage of history, Yuan Hao, who has taken over their mantle, has completely mastered the old sphere of influence of the Great River, the North and South Tianxiahui and Wushuang City, and has become the real overlord.

He's come this far, so how does he go next, is it going to be a step further, or is it ......

People watched quietly, secretly thinking in their hearts. At this moment, they are all thinking about how they will deal with this situation in the future. After all, the entire rivers and lakes are in the hands of one party, but there is not much room for them to profit in the middle, and then if they want to live a better life, they must operate within the rules set by Yuan Hao, the Heavenly Mountain Villa, otherwise they will encounter the wrath of the overlord.

"Anyway, I've had to be careful lately. The old overlord is defeated and the new overlord comes to power, which is exactly the moment when he needs to take advantage of people's authority, if he accidentally breaks the rules, he is only afraid...... This is about to usher in the wrath of the new overlord. That's not a good thing. "The bright-eyed people on the rivers and lakes are telling each other, and they are all awe-inspiring.

No one wants to be the chicken that kills the monkeys, even if they can't hold it back, they have to endure it until they can't figure out what the rules are, and they lose their lives for a little thing.

Of course, if you think that your strength is strong and can block the current soldiers of Zhutian Mountain Villa, then you can also take this opportunity to rise up and show off your might, maybe you can also learn from Yuan Hao to rise in a remote place and take advantage of Yuan Hao's rectification to lay a foundation, and then have the strength to compete with Yuan Hao.

However, such a move requires great personal ability, strong power, and timing. In today's world, there are many ambitious people, but there are not many people who have ambition and ability to do this, at least after the hegemony and the lonely side, there is no such hero in the Central Plains at this point.

Without Xiaoxiong, this may not be a good thing for the rivers and lakes who are always eager for topics, but it is a reassuring thing for the people of Shenzhou who are diligently seeking peace and clothing.

At least in the month or two after this news came out, most of the people in the world felt that there was less noise in their ears, but the gangsters they received became much kinder, and life seemed to have become better.

After all, there are fewer heroes and fewer disputes, but the remaining people dare not go against the general trend. The strength of the Heavenly Mountain Villa, which has become the number one in the world, is still very intimidating to them.

The rivers and lakes have temporarily stopped, and there is a bit of a taste of thousands of horses.

Then, two or three months passed like this.

In the two or three months after Yuan Hao won the Tianxia Meeting, the Jianghu martial arts were quite calm.

It's just that this calm doesn't mean that nothing happened, but that nothing big happened.

The rivers and lakes have become peaceful, but everyone understands that this peace only comes from the restraint of some people, and they are all waiting and watching. No one knows if this peace will last, and perhaps it will only be calm before a storm comes. Yuan Hao sat on the top of the Tianshan Mountain, but he was not a person who did not listen to what was going on outside the window.

Since the Tianxia Society surrendered, the masters of the Tianxia Society, as well as the branch altars and intelligence networks they had established, all fell into the hands of Yuan Hao. If Yuan Hao does the integration by himself, it will definitely take quite a long time, but it's okay...... Xiongba left in a hurry, except for the Tianchi Twelve Demons who secretly followed him, he even left his daughter, let alone others.

Qin Shuang and Wen Chou both fell into the hands of Yuan Hao.

Qin Shuang was also grateful for Xiongba's kindness and was unwilling to take refuge in Yuan Hao, so Yuan Hao sent him to take care of Xiongba's daughter Youruo.

And Wen Chouchou, the "villain" who has followed Xiongba's side for several years, is not a strong-willed and rigid person, as soon as Xiongba fled, he surrendered to Yuan Hao.

Yuan Hao knew his personality and understood the importance of seemingly clown-like characters like him in the Tianxia Guild system, so he still gave him great power - of course, this was after Yuan Hao gave him a considerable ban.

With Wen Chou's help, the Tianxiahui system is still running smoothly, docking with the troops sent to the north by Yuan Hao, but at this time when it should be turbulent, the rudder of the Tianxiahui at all levels has strengthened the control of the local area, effectively stabilized the place, and completely disappointed some people who wanted to see some kind of favorite turmoil.

The stability of the Tianxia Club made Yuan Hao have a lot less trouble, and Wen Chou's ability was reflected again, making Yuan Hao ignore his clown-like appearance.

In fact, no one likes to be a clown, and Wen Chou is no exception, just with the heroic demeanor of a hero, I would rather be responsible for the world, than the world's peerless domineering, even if he is close to him who has followed Xiongba's side from the beginning of the establishment of the World Association, he has to pretend to be a clown in order to protect himself, which is also a last resort.

And now, after Yuan Hao replaced Xiongba, Wen Chouchou found that Yuan Hao, who should be more domineering than Xiongba, was surprisingly approachable, he didn't like men to apply grease and powder, he didn't like men to talk and be fatherly, and he didn't like men to bend down and bow down.

Compared with Xiongba, Yuan Hao, the new master, has more rules, but Wen Chouchou feels a certain respect under his command. At least in front of Yuan Hao, Wen Chou doesn't have to pretend to be a clown, and he has more dignity as a human being.

This kind of dignified taste, once tasted by Wen Chouhou, it is like a gluttony who eats the marrow and knows the taste is completely addicted, and there is no original grovelling nest. Wen Chouchou felt that his heart was becoming more and more active, he liked this feeling, so he used his ten ability to offer twelve points of loyalty to Yuan Hao.

With his assistance, the world will quickly be brought under the control of Yuanhao Zhutian Mountain Villa. And the various plans that Yuan Hao intends to implement are also carried out in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Wen Chou.

As the attendant of Xiongba's side, Wen Chouchou is not a person with a strong neck, Yuan Hao proposes a plan, even if it is a bit fantastical, Wen Chouchou will not oppose it strongly, he knows how to persuade the monarch in the most tactful way, and when the monarch insists on going his own way, he will be silently prepared for the monarch's insistence.

Outsiders say that Wen Chouchou is a mediocre person and a servant, but from the monarch's point of view, Wen Chouchou is the most suitable courtier.

"Xiongba only treats you as a villain, which is really his loss. After discovering Wen Chou's talent, Yuan Hao often sighed like this. At this time, he only felt that Xiongba still had some ability to discover talents, but his level in the use of talents was still too poor.

"How ......can you use power to control people for a long time," Yuan Hao shook his head lightly.

With such a handy subordinate, who doesn't like it, and who isn't ready to use it?

What's more, Yuan Hao has already banned him, knowing that he will never betray himself. As a result, Wen Chouchou gained more rights, and Yuan Hao's original plan went more smoothly.

In the two or three months that everyone was watching, in a place that most people had not paid attention to, the masters who originally belonged to the Tianxia Society and the thunderbolts of the Heavenly Mountain Villa worked together to clear the cottages with heavy blood debts that were entrenched within a hundred miles of the city. This is a purge that kills three birds with one stone:

Let the armed forces that originally belonged to the two camps cooperate with each other and see each other's strength, so that they can have corresponding emotions in the battle, and improve their cooperation.

Exterminating the evil copycat bandits is the second to establish authority and decove;

When everyone doesn't pay attention, strengthening the control of the territory and making your territory more stable is the third.

In Yuan Hao's opinion, if you want to further stretch out your fist to hit someone, you must first withdraw your fist, and if a person wants to become a master, his physique must be strong, except for some special characters or exercises, it is rare to see a guy like a tuberculosis ghost who can become a master.

For the rivers and lakes, for the world, Yuan Hao intends to win the supreme throne, and then bring a great change to the whole world, from the foundation of the so-called thousand years of catastrophe in the bud, and in order to achieve this, Yuan Hao must first further consolidate his power.

After obtaining the Divine Stone, Yuan Hao can be regarded as a rare opponent in this world. With his own safety guaranteed, Yuan Hao naturally intended to do something else. When others haven't paid attention to themselves, consolidating their own foundation is naturally the key thing at the top.

Therefore, in the past two or three months, the Heavenly Mountain Villa has frequently attacked to eliminate the vicious bandits, river bandits, and river bandits who originally belonged to the Tianxia Society. Zhutian Mountain Villa sent 382 troops, exterminated 306 cottages, and 58 water robber nests, completely cleansing the environment around the city, and making the people in the city more and more stable.

And Yuan Hao's Heavenly Villa also took this opportunity to make his reputation, and he made the people under the original Tianxia Guild realize that the sky had changed. The rulers of them now are more enlightened than before, and their lives are better than before.

Although this is only a small change, it is very important for the poor and needy people. With the strengthening of security in the territory and the destruction of the bandits, people have become safer when they go out. The merchants benefited from this, and their trading in the north became smoother, and they earned more money several times, and naturally they gradually put more effort into it.

Merchants are alive, and industries are prosperous. Although it is not yet an industry at the current level of Fengyun World, it is true that the demand for all kinds of production products is increasing and increasing, and most of the workshops have begun to work overtime, and they have placed more orders by those merchants.

In short, after Yuan Hao carried out a security strengthening, the series of changes caused by it were beneficial to Yuan Hao. As a result, the territories he controlled received more tax money. While the increase in the silver was nothing compared to their seizures in those cottage lairs, it was generally in a good direction.

As for the bad ones, there are still ...... The main thing is that Yuan Hao's actions greatly offended those green forest men, these people who rely on robbing homes and robbing houses to harm one party are very dissatisfied with Yuan Hao's implementation of their own rules, they all say that Yuan Hao is breaking the rules, but Yuan Hao doesn't care much about this.

"Your rules, that's what the tyrant has set them all about. I don't think it's a rule to rob a house or a house. You yourselves have hands and feet, and you have the strength to go to work and rob the people...... It depends on whether your neck is hard or my knife is sharp. Yuan Hao responded coldly, and he immediately announced that he would carry out a new round of crackdowns on those disobedient Green Forest heroes.
