Chapter 468: The Beginning of the Conference
The temple, the martial arts field, has gathered heroes from all walks of life in the world, because today is the period of the martial arts conference.
Almost all of the major sects in the rivers and lakes have already arrived, except for the Poisonous Beast Gorge in Guangxi.
Previously, there were already many people in the rivers and lakes who discovered the whereabouts of the Poisonous Beast Gorge. It stands to reason that such a big martial arts event, Poison Beast Gorge should not be absent, and it is unlikely to be absent. But I don't know why, the Poison Beast Gorge has not appeared until now. In addition to none of the people from the Poisonous Beast Gorge who did not come, there were also two famous sects, although their disciples came, but their masters did not come, this is the Beggar Gang and the Huashan Sect. Among them, the leader of the beggar gang has disappeared from the rivers and lakes for many years, but this time he still did not appear. Mu Qianzhi, the leader of the beggar gang, although he seems to be somewhat similar to Mei Yun's situation, has not appeared in the rivers and lakes for many years. However, if you look closely, there are many differences. Although Mrs. Mei Yun has not appeared in the rivers and lakes for many years, the Emei faction has always claimed that Mrs. Mei is in retreat on the mountain and does not ask about the affairs of the rivers and lakes for the time being. In other words, although Mrs. Mei Yun did not show up in the rivers and lakes, there are still news of her coming out from time to time on the rivers and lakes, at least the heroes of the rivers and lakes still know what she is doing, whether it is true or not. But Mu Qianzhi is different, firstly, he never shows up on the rivers and lakes, and secondly, there is no news about him on the rivers and lakes, as if he really does not see anyone alive and dead without seeing a corpse. Not to mention the ordinary disciples of the Beggar Gang, even the Nine Bags Elder of the Beggar Gang, they can't tell the whereabouts of Mu Qianzhi, the leader of the gang, and they can't find him personally. This situation has been going on for almost more than ten years, so much so that many new disciples who have joined the beggar gang during this period still don't know what the gang leader looks like.
Because this situation is really abnormal, there have been many strange conjectures within the beggar gang. Some people believe that Mu Qianzhi, the leader of the beggar gang, has already been killed, so the beggar gang should set up a new leader, and the position of the leader of the beggar gang cannot be left vacant all the time. However, to set up another gang leader, first of all, there must be a beggar to help the holy relics to beat the dog, and the previous dog beating stick has always been on Mu Qianzhi. Even if he does die, his body must be found and the dog beating stick retrieved before a new gang leader can be established.
This kind of thinking only accounts for a very small number of disciples of the Beggar Gang, and most of the disciples of the Beggar Gang still believe that the gang leader Mu Qianzhi's martial arts will not be in any danger, but he is just traveling in the famous mountains and rivers, and he forgets the affairs of the gang for a while.
Of course, there is a third theory that Mu Qianzhi neither died nor traveled the world, but was trapped in an unknown place by a very powerful opponent.
This problem, except for the beggar gang disciples, other sects were not too concerned about it. Because of this, the beggar gang, which is the largest gang in the world, has become less and less influential in the rivers and lakes, and even many major sects in the rivers and lakes have long ignored them.
As for Ji Nansong, the head of the Huashan faction, although he has not appeared on the rivers and lakes for a long time, there is no mystery on him. The main reason why Ji Nansong, the head of the Huashan faction, has not appeared on the rivers and lakes for a long time is because he is too old.
Ji Nansong, the current head of the Huashan faction, is the master of Zhou Yingshang, the sword immortal of Huashan. Since his apprentices dare to be called sword immortals in the rivers and lakes, it is conceivable how strong this old man's martial arts will be. His age is a generation older than Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Mugong, who are the most important predecessors in the rivers and lakes today. His age is more than 100 years old, and he should have handed over the position of head of Huashan a long time ago, and then went to retire for the rest of his life. But for some reason, he has not passed on the position of head to his disciples, but no one knows what the reason is.
Except for the Poisonous Beast Gorge, there was no one in sight, and the leaders of Huashan and the beggar gang did not arrive, but other famous men from all walks of life in the rivers and lakes had already arrived.
It's just that there are two most important figures, but they haven't appeared yet. One is Prince Xiao of the imperial court, and the other is Sheng Lingren, the owner of this temple.
As soon as these two arrive, the martial arts conference can start immediately.
Previously, the imperial court had issued an order to explain that the main purpose of this martial arts conference was to elect a new martial arts alliance leader, and it was said that it was mainly selected among the younger generation. As for how this will happen, no one knows yet.
However, having said that, among the rivers and lakes, there are only a few people in the younger generation who are capable of standing out, and it seems that there is not much competition at all. However, among the rivers and lakes, there has always been a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and it is still unknown if there will be any masters.
Since Ren Xiaoyao and Tang Mugong and others, among the new generation of martial arts masters, the highest martial arts is undoubtedly Tianxing Sword Laughing Moon Song. Some people have previously concluded that this martial arts conference should eventually become the director of Xiaoyaomen, Xiaoyao, and the world's number one master of Tianxing Sword Laughing Moon Song. If there is still a little suspense about the number one master in the world, then it should be on these two people.
In addition, Tang Zhong, Fifth Xing, Baoli Monk, Huang Jishan, and Evil Ghost Blood Boy Ghost Blood also have the opportunity to compete with the first two.
In the current rivers and lakes, there are only a few top martial arts masters of the new generation.
The people of the mushroom forest almost didn't care much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes before, but this time many people actually came. Jade Rakshasa is naturally their leader, because she is one of the owners of the mushroom forest. The one-armed drunkard Huang Yuefeng, the housekeeper of the mushroom forest, has left the mushroom forest and returned to his own sect, Xiaoyaomen, so the new housekeeper of the mushroom forest is replaced by the proprietress of the husband and wife restaurant, the short sword Chen Xia, who ranks ninth on the swordsman list. At this moment, Chen Xia led the strange scoop Qiu Thirteen, the poor sour wood Guiyu, the fisherman Lang Cangsheng and the fat cow and others, and they also happened to converge with the Jade Rakshasa. Among these people, although Chen Xia has been away from the rivers and lakes for a long time, her reputation is still the loudest, and no one will object to her replacing Huang Yuefeng as the housekeeper of the mushroom forest. The people of the three mountains, six caves and eighteen villages are also subordinate sects of the mushroom forest, so naturally they also get together with the people of the mushroom forest such as the Jade Rakshasa and so on. In this way, although the Jade Rakshasa subordinates seem to be some dirty people, in fact, there are many first-class masters among them, and their strength should not be underestimated. Previously, outside Chengdu City, if it weren't for the Jade Rakshasa and the Crazy Laughing Moon Song Mushroom Forest and the heroes of the Three Mountains and Six Caves to help, I am afraid that they would not be able to break the Poisonous Beast Formation of the Ghost Daozi, and they would have repelled the Poisonous Beast Gorge.
The people of the three mountains, six caves and eighteen villages, although they are not considered demon sects, are always considered to be the likes of the evil sects in the rivers and lakes, so they are not very popular. What's more, among them, there are many strange people, which makes him feel uncomfortable when he sees it.
Among them, the most eye-catching person is the Snake King Cave's cave master Chilian Snake King Lian Tu, because his skin all over his body is almost red.
