Xingyun was anxious, and wanted to tell Yuan Yan's two daughters the good news that the difficulties had passed, so that they would not be worried.

Turning around quickly, Xingyun entered the Sect Master's Mansion, and the hustle and bustle outside was much smaller, and the manpower in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had basically been arranged out, and the Sect Master's Mansion was much cleaner.

Yuan Yan's two daughters were both moving behind, and Xingyun was about to move, but suddenly felt something different behind him, and his heart was secretly shocked! You must know that the person who came to him was three feet behind him, and he was alert! If he has a bad heart, he is in danger!

As soon as he turned around, he heard the man suddenly laugh and said, "The sect master's martial arts have made great progress again, which is gratifying." ”

It was the Kaiser!

Xingyun was stunned, the Kaiser was not sitting in the VIP seat, and suddenly came here to look for each other, and to avoid the eyes and ears of others, there must be something special.

However, Xingyun experienced a lot, just stunned, then returned to normal, and when he saluted, he let the emperor sit on the stone bench next to him, and then said: "The younger generation first thanked the seniors for their help today." ”

The Emperor waved his hand and said: "No thanks, the reason why the old man will help the sect master is also for the peace of the rivers and lakes, so the sect master doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Xingyun shook his head and said: "Help is help, seniors don't care, but Xingyun won't forget." ”

The Emperor smiled slightly, nodded and said: "The old man appreciates the temperament of the sect master, he is not arrogant or impatient, and he is humble and polite, and he will not be slacking off because of his status. ”

Speaking of this, the emperor's face suddenly changed, and he said: "The old man just said that the sect master doesn't need to thank me, but it is not a lie, today to help the Ten Thousand Swords Sect." Lin Lei is for the peace of the rivers and lakes, and also for the realization of the way of order, so it can be said that it is also for the sake of old decay.

The old man was always thinking about how to make the rivers and lakes balanced and stable, just like the Songshan Alliance kept the rivers and lakes for 200 years.

But since the Songshan realliance two years ago, the order established two hundred years ago has gradually been broken, and since then. The balance between rivers and lakes is becoming more and more difficult to control.

Although the old decay has set the policy of nine lords and nine auxiliaries for this, he is ready to sacrifice the land of the nine auxiliaries. In exchange for a big faction and a famous family, it can be as Yan Zhi said, then it is like drinking doves to quench thirst! Although it can solve the urgent need for a while, it will cause more harm later. ”

Xingyun listened quietly by the side. The Kaiser came to himself. It's never about telling about your mistakes, it's about what you say after that.

Sure enough, the Kaiser smiled slightly, and then said: "But although it will be more harmful in the future, until a better way is found, the old decay still has to continue." As if relieved, the Kaiser smiled: "Fortunately, at this time, variables in the rivers and lakes are reborn." ”

When Xingyun heard this, his heart moved, and he knew the variables that the Kaiser said. It is Xiao Shouchen's death-defying blow that caused today's turmoil, and this is the right topic at the moment, and he is engrossed in the moment, and listens to what the emperor will say.

When the emperor said this, he shook his head and said, "Besieged by Shaolin Wudang." Naturally, it was not a good thing for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. But it made the old man see a glimmer of hope.

After today, although it is difficult for Shaolin Wudang to gather others to attack. However, resentment must be deep, and it is precisely because of today, the entire rivers and lakes, the ten major sects will be divided into two. ”

The Emperor asserted: "Shaolin Wudang is the head, and then there are Huashan, Diancang, Emei and Tangmen, this is one faction, headed by the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, and then there are Qingcheng, Kongtong and Ethereal Heavenly Palace, this is another faction, and then the rivers and lakes are the place where these two factions compete. ”

When Xingyun heard this, he suddenly doubted: "The deeper the hatred between Shaolin Wudang and my Ten Thousand Swords Sect, it will naturally not be good, and the same is true of Huashan Diancang, and Xingyun has nothing to say."

But that Emei and Tangmen have no pain with me, but why should they be my enemies with Shaolin Wudang? ”

The Emperor said with a smile: "After today, the rivers and lakes will be divided into two, it will be a foregone conclusion, not with Shaolin Wudang, you will have to be side by side with the suzerain, there is no middle at all, but there are three major factions in Sichuan Province, natural interests are competing, Qingcheng and the suzerain have the deepest relationship, how can Emei and Tang be friendly with the suzerain?" Naturally, I want to stand with Shaolin Wudang. ”

Xingyun frowned, and said with some disbelief: "But in the siege of Qingcheng back then, these two factions were merciful, otherwise with my martial arts back then, it would be impossible to fight six transformation-level masters in a row." ”

The Emperor said with a smile: "At this time and that time, Emei and the Tang Sect were afraid that other major factions would take the opportunity to participate in the internal affairs of Sichuan, but now that the strength of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is growing, how can they still be the same as before?" ”

Xingyun pondered for a moment, the secret path was reasonable, at that time, he returned with a sword alone, and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had not yet re-emerged from the rivers and lakes, so it was naturally difficult for these two factions to compare gains and losses.

What's more, as the Kaiser said, although there is no real war today, the grievances between the big factions have been completed, and it is indeed very possible for the ten major sects to be divided into two.

Xingyun asked himself that there is Qingcheng, and in the internal affairs of Sichuan, there will inevitably be some bias, but the concerns of Emei and Tangmen are not exaggerated.

What's more, Shaolin and Wudang will also invite each other with all their might, and use the strength of those two factions to fight against themselves.

But although he figured this out, Xingyun felt even more puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Since it is a foregone conclusion that this river and lake will be divided into two, isn't this even more dangerous?" Once the two sides fight together, won't this river and lake be a catastrophe? This is too far from the way of order of the predecessors. So, why do you even say it's hope? ”

The Kaiser smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "Order lies in balance, these two factions are opposed to each other, and it is indeed the most dangerous, but if someone can balance it, then order will become, in this way, knowing that person is not dead, this order is the most solid." ”

When Xingyun heard this, he suddenly realized something, and couldn't help asking: "The balanced person mentioned by the predecessors refers to the seniors?" ”

The Kaiser smiled slightly, but did not deny it.

There are big waves in Xingyun's heart! But there were still some things that I couldn't figure out for a while, so at this moment, the Kaiser suddenly asked: "According to the sect master, how is the old and decayed martial arts compared to the destiny of heaven?" ”

Xingyun was stunned, and he didn't know why the Kaiser suddenly mentioned this issue.

When the Emperor saw this, he smiled slightly and said, "The sect master said bluntly, there is no need to scruple. ”
