The general battle between the rivers and lakes has a very small pattern, which is nothing more than fighting for martial arts cheats, divine weapons, or revenge, and yellow and white things have never been on the table, and few of them are fighting for money. But when it comes to the battle between the sects, martial arts cheats and divine weapons have become secondary things, not that they are not important, but that they are not so important, and they cannot play a key decisive role. On the contrary, gold and silver, which were originally not on the table, have become indispensable things for both parties, because only with money can people gather people, and only with people can they become powerful. No matter what you do, people are fundamental. No matter how high your realm is, no matter how many cheats there are, only one person will not be able to do great things.

In this case, the core key of the sect is financial resources and exercises, as well as the manpower derived from the two, if everyone's exercises are not much different, the financial resources become very important, the later rise of the Qingwei Sect and the Mending Heaven Sect is precisely because of the prosperity of the sea trade, so that they occupy the East China Sea and the North Sea respectively, and become the top of the twenty-two sects, but many of the old sects that are holding on to the defects are gradually declining. Even if there are one or two generations of Zhongxing masters, it is difficult to recover the overall decline. As for the five sects in the northwest, their financial resources are also abundant, and the way they come from is more complicated, such as the Dao Seed Sect's plot to seize the Qian family's family property, and the official silver case of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau involving the Soap Pavilion Sect, which is actually for money. In addition, the support of the Golden Horde, the taxation of the states after the establishment of the Great Zhou, and all kinds of overt and covert tricks and plunders also greatly supplemented the financial resources of the five sects in the northwest.

In fact, there are many similarities between the Qingwei Sect and the Mending Heaven Sect, long before Li Daoxu and Qin Qing, the two powerful sect masters took the throne, the Qing Wei Sect and the Mending Heaven Sect have been in obscurity for many years, and the two major sects have adhered to the principle of not taking sides, not choosing sides, and not ending up. It's just that if the two major sects want to go further, they must end up in person. So the appearance of Li Daoxu and Qin Qing is actually inevitable.

After Li Daoxu and Qin Qing ascended to the throne, they directly transformed the accumulation of the two major sects for many years into the expansion of their strength visible to the naked eye, that is, accumulation. After the rise of the two families, the replacement of the old and the new is inevitable, and the Qingwei Sect directly challenges the status of the alliance leader of the Zhengyi Sect, if it is not for the fact that the Zhengyi Sect has mastered the South China Sea Cihang Sect as an ally, providing great help to the Zhengyi Sect, the victory or defeat is very unpredictable, even if the Zhengyi Sect barely wins, but it has to admit that Jiangbei is now respected by the Qingwei Sect. Qin Qing took over the position of the suzerain of the Forgetful Sect, secretly formed the righteous sects, and broke with the Song Zheng, who considered himself the leader of the ten sects, so that the five sects of Liaodong were completely out of the control of the five sects in the northwest, and changed from the original upper five sects and the lower five sects to the five western and eastern five sects that are now on a par.

Now, the entire rivers and lakes have been divided into five major forces, which also correspond to the top five masters in the world. They are the Yin Yang Sect, the Soap Pavilion Sect, the Maiden Sect, and the Dao Seed Sect headed by the Earth Master Xu Wugui, the Wudao Sect and the Qingyang Sect headed by the Holy Monarch Taiyun, the Six Righteous Path Sects headed by the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Jingxiu, the Four Righteous Path Sects headed by the Great Sword Immortal Li Daoxu, and the Five Sects of Liaodong headed by the "Heavenly Sword" Qin Qing. Xu Wugui was expected to annex Taiyun, unify the five sects in the northwest, and become the most powerful person, but unfortunately Zhang Jingxiu intervened, Xu Wugui was a decisive person, and he did not make a desperate bet, but immediately retracted his fist to preserve his strength, and this retracted fist, when it came out again, it would be the most powerful blow.

So the game between Xu Wugui and Taiyun, after Xijing made peace, became a game between Xu Wugui and Zhang Jingxiu, and these two games were initiated by Xu Wugui on his own initiative. In other words, Xu Wugui took the absolute initiative and always grasped the direction of the situation, while others could only passively defend and see the moves.

The battle between the sects is not a battle between the three moves and two styles, and it is not just as simple as using force, but a long mutual wrestling.

In this wrestling, there is no absolutely stupid decision, there is no absolutely correct decision, no one can do everything, and no one can only take advantage of it without suffering losses. Generally speaking, this decision may not be the most ideal, but it must balance the interests of all parties internally, so that it can be carried out smoothly. To take the simplest analogy, when the four ministers headed by Zhang Suqing implemented the new policy, this decision was naturally extremely correct, for the entire Great Wei Dynasty, it was a life-sustaining move, but it failed to balance the interests of all parties, and even seriously damaged the interests of the clan nobles, not everyone can have the vision to look at a hundred years later, more people still only look at the present, so this correct decision attracted strong opposition from all sides, and finally failed completely.

Zhang Jingxiu and Xu Wugui are both people who are familiar with this, and every major decision they make is with a sense of trade-off, as long as they get more than they give up, they will earn, and as for earning more and earning less, it is another matter. Therefore, every major decision contains opportunities, but also huge risks. It's like two people fighting, you make a move, and the other party will deal with it, so there will be new changes.

For example, Zhang Jingxiu's decision to meddle in the affairs of White Emperor City before could prevent Xu Wugui's family from becoming dominant, which was an opportunity, but there was also a huge risk, that is, Xu Wugui's revenge. Zhang Jingxiu had expected this, but he didn't expect Xu Wugui's retracted fist to come so quickly, which caught him a little off guard. And this is by no means as simple as revenge, a Jianghu scattered person can fight for a breath, but a leader must not be rash, and the action of the earth master Xu Wugui must be sought.

Zhang Jingxiu hadn't figured out Xu Wugui's true intentions at this time, but Li Xuandu had already vaguely guessed a little.

That is Mr. Shen Da, Shen Wuwu.

Shen Wuwu is the suzerain of the Taiping Sect, the Taiping Sect is rich, but the Taiping Sect is located between the Qingwei Sect and the Zhengyi Sect, even if Xu Wugui has great magical powers, it is impossible to bypass these two families to seek to seize the Taiping Sect, even if he catches Shen Wuwu, it is impossible to squeeze too much money from the Taiping Sect through Shen Wuwu. In other words, Xu Wugui's targeting of Shen Wuwu was not for money, and the two had never intersected, nor for hatred, as for the generational hostility between the sects, it was not worth Xu Wugui's big fight. Since it's not for money, it's not for revenge, so what else is there in Mr. Shen Da that can make Xu Wugui tempted?

Li Xuandu thought about it, and there was only one answer, that is, Shen Wuwu's arithmetic method.

This reminded Li Xuandu of the fact that Mrs. Lu went to Beibi Mountain to inspect the earth's qi last year, and at the same time, Nan Kezi also found that Beibi Mountain had changed from Shaozu Mountain to Old Ancestor Mountain, but it was only because the matter of the Immortal Palace had too much influence later, so the matter was overshadowed. Later, the disputes between good and evil continued, and people in the evil path frequently attacked, and Li Xuandu was tired of running for various reasons, and he didn't think to investigate this matter at all. Looking back now, this matter is a big plan, and even the matter of the Taiyin corpse of the Immortal Palace is just a cover for this matter.

At this time, the old man of Tibet took Shen Wuwu with the "Ten Thousand Corpses Mighty Honor", like the five fingers of the five giant pillars clenched into a fist, and Shen Wuwu was held in his palm with the overwhelming huge force of the mountains, but he never thought that Shen Wuwu would not hesitate to destroy the seven abacus beads, and formed a formation with himself, which shows that the edge of his body is plated with a layer of light, outlining the outline of his whole person, no matter how the "Ten Thousand Corpses Mighty Honor" exerts force, it can never be broken.

However, the old man also has other means, this "Ten Thousand Corpses Powerful Venerable" is made of countless corpses, the weight of the corpse qi is far better than the "Netherworld Nine Yin Venerable", it is extremely filthy, and at the same time of exerting force, it also penetrates with corpse qi. Shen Wuwu couldn't resist hard, so he could only keep moving it out with the formation, but in this way, the consumption was extremely high, and the layer of light on his body was decaying at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The old man said with a smile: "Shen Wuwu, don't think that the people of the Zhengyi Sect can come to save you, they are now too busy to take care of themselves, you should fall into the hands of the old man today!"

Shen Wuwu was not afraid and said: "Old man Tibet, your life palace is too heavy, and you are riddled with yin, evil, and death qi, although you are not afraid of the theorem of fate, but the reason is unknown, it is better not to make assertions in front of me, so as not to slap yourself in the face." ”

In this way, on the contrary, the old man was suspicious, and he was no longer as confident as Fang Cai. If it were someone else to say this, the old man would definitely just be hard-mouthed, but the shadow of the famous tree, Shen Wuwu's way of arithmetic is recognized by the world, and he is like a god.

At this moment, a Taiping coin burst through the air and smashed on the cheek of the old man. I don't know why this Taiping coin was burned red, but it never melted, and after contact with the skin of the old man in Tibet, it immediately made a "snort" sound, accompanied by a burst of white gas rising and the smell of burnt flesh, this Taiping coin was so "sticky" on the face of the old man.

After all, the old man is the head of a sect, when has he been insulted like this? With a gloomy face, he stretched out his hand to deduct this Taiping coin, and saw that the words "the world is peaceful" were printed on his face.

"As Mr. Shen said, someone is really coming. The old man pulled the corners of his mouth, and the handwriting on his face slowly disappeared: "It's just one more person to send him to death." ”
