At the end of the year 456 of the Zhengyang calendar, Emperor Wu City set off a gust of wind in Wulin, and countless righteous sects were swept and merged, all of which had something to do with the Demon Dao sect.

In order to better maintain the righteousness of the martial arts, Emperor Wu City cooperated with the eight sects to form the Martial Arts Alliance, with Emperor Wu City as the main body, supplemented by the other eight factions, to better maintain the atmosphere of the martial arts rivers and lakes.

At the end of the year, it was cold and steep, and it snowed heavily in Liutian City, and the heavy snow closed the city one day, and countless houses were crushed by the heavy snow.

On this day when it was difficult for ordinary people to even travel, on the walls of Liutian City, some people saw two desolate figures.

Elder Jiang of the Liutian Sect is not for it!

"Where is Elder Taishang going from here?" The heavy snow blurred the whole world, even if it was only a person a few meters away from Jiang Bu, he could only vaguely see a figure, this person's figure was blurred, but his voice was unusually young.

In the cold storm and snow, Jiang Bu reluctantly withdrew his gaze and turned to look outside the Heavenly City.

"The old man escaped from the world, but he avoided the catastrophe, although his cultivation broke through, his state of mind was broken, and it was no different from death. Now that he is receiving the favor of you, he will naturally give this remnant life to you! ”

"Elder Taishang is a senior I respect, how dare the kid drive the senior, I just hope to give the senior a place to escape from the world and purify!" Young people speak sincerely.

Jiang Buwei's face was expressionless, he didn't respond, his body trembled slightly, as if he wanted to look back again, but he finally held back.

On the night before Liu Xin followed his senior brother on the way back to the Holy Sect, in the No. 1 room of Tianzi, a restaurant somewhere in Liutian City, Xue Sheng and Ah Li sat on both sides of a table, Liu Xin silently clenched his fists and leaned on a pillar in the room, and on the main seat was a tall man with a big seat left for the two of them with a back.

"On the night of the wind, you lit the lights in the Lake Center Pavilion, and the plain white light of the dark night could be seen clearly from three miles away. If I hadn't intervened, you wouldn't have waited for sunrise to appear in the dungeons of the Celestial Sect. ”

The Demon Venerable Leader wearing the mask of the red and black ghost turned around and said quietly, his tone full of sarcasm at the arrogance of the two.

Ah Li slapped the table with his green and jade hand, and then pointed at the ghost and said:

"Senior brother! You are not allowed to talk about Senior Brother Xue and Elder Brother. And Senior Brother Xue and I have long known that you are in Liutian City. If I sneak out, there will definitely be other senior brothers secretly protecting me, so that the master will not rest assured that we are on the right path. If there is anyone the master will send and delay all the way, it is only you, senior brother, a big man who likes to play role-playing games and loves to disappear! Change! State! ”

Ah Li's voice was very loud, this incident made her feel a lot of shock, if it weren't for the disappearance of Senior Brother Ai, there would be no such things on their trip. At this moment, no matter how terrifying the senior brother is on weekdays, how much she is in awe, she shakes out some of the habits of the senior brother just to get out of the evil breath in her heart.

And Ah Li's words shocked Xue Sheng's eyes, and Liu Xin was even more faintly worried, afraid that this famous demon of the Demon Dao would attack his sister, and the worst thing was that he knew that he would never be able to stop him.

As for the ghosts... A red and black devil's mask on his face blocked his expression, but he didn't speak either.

It wasn't until Ah Li reacted that it had been a long time since he began to worry.

But unexpectedly, the ghost just said lightly:

"I'm sorry junior sister, in order to test these two boys, I forgot that I should get you out first and lock you up by my side."

Ah Li listened to the ghost's calm tone, but she was even more frightened, and she said resignedly:

"Ahh It's okay, big brother... I just... Just kidding... Hehehe. ”

In the scene, there was only Ah Li's embarrassed laughter, and the other three were like sculptures, motionless.

"Big brother!"

As if to enliven the gradually freezing atmosphere in the room, Xue Sheng suddenly spoke.

When Liu Xin saw Xue Sheng speak, he withdrew his worried gaze, slowly closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep.

"You're really almost there this time..."Xue Sheng suddenly froze because of the cold gaze of the ghost demon through the red and black devil mask, but he swallowed his saliva and continued:

"It's so worrying about my junior sister, and you really put my junior sister in a very dangerous situation this time!"

The ghost's cold gaze warmed up slightly, and he looked at Ah Li, who was palpitating on the side, with some apologies in his eyes.

"Senior sister, it's not good to be a senior brother this time, I didn't expect that Emperor Wu City would also interfere, otherwise.... Alas, after all, the senior brother is wrong, don't worry, you are frightened, the senior brother will definitely give you an explanation! ”

"The Ghost... Brother. Liu Xin suddenly spoke, he wanted to call the ghost demon a senior, but when he thought that he was Ah Li's senior brother, if he called his senior, the seniority would be chaotic, so he became a nondescript ghost brother.

The ghost's gaze fell on Liu Xin's body, and after a pause, he suddenly said, "It's a good seedling." ”

A moment of embarrassment flashed on Liu Xin's face, and then he straightened up and continued: "I want to know some details about the relationship between the Kunli Sect and the Liutian Sect. ”

"Hmm, didn't your Holy Sect's secret investigation team find out about those things?"

"No, they found it and told me, but I always felt like a lot was missing."

"The lack is inevitable, and there is the intervention of Emperor Wu City in this incident. Your Holy Sect's secret investigation team and the secret son of my evil sect have both lost some ears and eyes. The reason is in the hands of Shangguan Ba, he is a very powerful person, better than me! ”

Xue Sheng and Ah Li were taken aback by the ghost's words, they had never seen their senior brother say that another person was better than him, even if it was their father/master, the evil sect only made the demon reverent, not bowed down.

The ghost continued: "Shangguan Ba's strength lies not in his own cultivation, but in his mind. His father Shangguan Yu is a generation of martial arts geniuses, the talent is not below me, Shangguan Ba inherited his father's talent, but at the same time he also has more wisdom in scheming, he is a person who takes into account the advantages of my master and your master, but now he is still immature, maybe in the future, Emperor Wu City will override the Holy Sect and the evil sect because of him.

Moreover, Shangguan Ba's father, Shangguan Yu, can only be said to be cooperating with the imperial court, and the two sides borrow from each other. But Shangguan Ba has been mixed with the royal court nobles since he was a child, and he can't hear rumors about him in the martial arts before the age of thirty, but in the imperial court system, his name can often be heard. What's even more powerful is that he and Emperor Xuyang, who ascended the throne at the beginning of this year, have grown up together since childhood, and the two sides have a deep friendship.

The current Emperor Wu City has been rigidly tied to the imperial court because of the relationship between Shangguan Ba and the imperial court, and it has completely become one. Therefore, Emperor Wu City can borrow more power from the imperial court, for example, this time, Shangguan Ba's main identity is not the young city lord of Emperor Wu City at all, but the commander of Zhongzhou, the same knowledge, a dignified and three-grade general!

And this time, the reason why my evil sect secret son and the Holy Sect's secret investigation team have lost money is not because of the unfavorable handling of his subordinates, but because a similar organization has also appeared in Emperor Wu City, and this organization is called Wuhou. The methods of these martial marquis are much more sophisticated than those of the shadows and the secret investigation team, and in my judgment, there must be the help of the imperial court. Wuhou's organization has only been established for a few years, and in the early years, my evil sect secretly reported that there was a group of intelligence officers, but at that time it was still very weak, and I didn't expect that only a few years later, when it was fully launched, it would be able to compete with us. This is also where I am inferior to him, and the evil sect has not made great progress in my hands for many years. ”

"Could it be that this incident is no longer a struggle between the two sects of martial arts?" Liu Xin still has countless doubts in his heart.

The ghost nodded, he seemed to think of something, and he couldn't help but say slowly with some embarrassment in his eyes:

"Jiang Buwei, the Supreme Elder of the Liutian Sect, was deeply hidden, and after communicating with me, he actually broke through the constraints and reached the Grandmaster Realm. But after all, he didn't have time to stabilize his unstable state of mind after the breakthrough, so he was broken through by Xiaoxiao in Emperor Wu City, and he did those things, which must have made him regret it. ”

At first glance, when they heard such a secret, Liu Xin and Xue Sheng couldn't help but glance at each other, Jiang Buwei was already a grandmaster.

This is the supreme realm that everyone in the martial arts yearns for.

After that, there was another exchange, and Liu Xin got enough information from the ghost demon and was satisfied. When leaving, Xue Sheng told Liu Xin another bad news. His sister Ah Li is about to start a retreat, and the so-called retreat is that the Demon Venerable himself takes her to a ghost place that ordinary people can't find to practice.

It is said that this is for Ah Li's goodness, but in this way, Liu Xin is still very depressed.

After that, they can only see each other once in a few years, or even longer, but Liu Xin deeply knows how high his sister's talent is, and it is also because of this super talent that the Holy Sect Sect Master believes that only the Demon Venerable is qualified to teach Ah Li.

In terms of martial arts cultivation, if the Demon Venerable dares to be called the second in martial arts, no one dares to call it the first.

With a stomach full of depression, Liu Xin left the restaurant, he couldn't stay here for too long, Fang Qiong wouldn't allow the senior brother of the Holy Sect to be with the people of the evil sect for too long.

-

A few days later, on the first day of the New Year in the year 466 of the Gregorian calendar,

Shangguan Yu, the old city lord of Emperor Wu City, went to Tianyun Peak alone and competed with the Evil Sect Holy Sect, without winning or losing. left Wulin with a rich but extremely secret piece of heavy news.

For three months after that, teahouses and wine shops all over the world, brothels and red mansions all talked about it. Even a large court meeting was held above the court to discuss this matter.

Not long after, Shangguan Yu stepped down as the city lord of Emperor Wu City, and the position of city lord was inherited by Shangguan Ba.

In the same month, Shangguan Ba was awarded the title of Marquis of Jin Guo, a first-class marquis, and was promoted to two levels, and was appointed as the governor of Shanxi and Shandong provinces and concurrently served as the commander of the two provinces.

From the second month to the end of the same year, there was a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes, and the Demon Dao Sect was vigorously purged by Emperor Wu City, sweeping away many Demon Dao Sects in the deep mountains and old forests. The Holy Sect has also remained silent, and even many Righteous Dao Sects have been purged by Emperor Wu City as a Demon Dao.

Since then, Emperor Martial City has ranked second in the righteous path, but in fact, the martial arts in the world have been led by Emperor Martial City, and the Holy Sect and the Evil Sect have gradually weakened.

On the second day after Shangguan Yu left Tianyun Peak, Liu Xin returned to the Holy Sect, and heard that this Holy Sect senior brother angrily reprimanded Martial Emperor City, and vowed to fight Martial Emperor City in the future. Since then, he has never descended the mountain, and eleven years have passed in a hurry.

...

When Liu Xin woke up, it was already four o'clock the next day, glanced at the wine jar next to the bed, touched his slightly swollen head, and he couldn't help but shake it and smile bitterly.

Wine is a good thing, it can make people forget their sorrows and escape everything for a while.

Wine is a bad thing, it can bring up the things that people least want to think about, like those from eleven years ago.

The rivers and lakes, the courts, are all pickled places of black smoke and miasma!

Liu Xin secretly cursed in his heart, and left the room, the Holy Sect Dynasty was about to meet, and he had to be busy.

Just as he was eating breakfast, he received a letterhead from the evil sect on the other side of Tianyun Peak.
