Chapter 312: A New Force
Just as everyone in the Purple Cloud Palace was actively making preparations, everything that happened at the Xuanyu Gate Great Sacrifice spread throughout the entire martial arts in a very short period of time.
This ordinary funeral sacrifice, because of Ziyang Zhenren and because of the special sect of Xuanyu Sect, unsurprisingly had a great impact on the entire martial arts situation.
The first thing is the situation of the Central Plains Martial Arts at the moment, whether it is a good look, or a sincere group, in the eyes of the outside world, the Central Plains Martial Arts seems to have returned to the unity of the past.
The second thing, naturally, is the jade book and the red smoke furnace magic weapon, before that, these two things were regarded as the last step to end the Central Plains martial arts, almost everyone, including the Central Plains martial arts people, believed that as soon as this thing arrived in the Central Plains, the Central Plains was a bloody storm, but the result was much beyond ordinary people's expectations.
The third thing is the setting of the boundary order, Nalan Ming and his gang came to the Central Plains at the most critical juncture, intending to give the crumbling Central Plains martial arts a final blow, but the situation has changed, and the development of the situation has seriously exceeded everyone's expectations.
It can be said that in a forced situation, Zhongyuan agreed to the proposal of Nalan Ming and his group.
From the moment this proposal was decided, the Central Plains and Northern Xinjiang formed an invisible barrier on the front line of Cangjie Mountain.
Cangjie Mountain, a huge mountain range that connects east and west, was given more meaning at this moment, and almost as soon as the news broke, the sects scattered around this mountain range immediately began to be on guard.
This kind of boundary order has no meaning to ordinary people, let alone geographical practical significance, it only exists within the specific organization of "martial arts", and is the product of the conflict between this specific organization.
And when the southern Xinjiang, northern Xinjiang, and the Central Plains began to fight vigorously in the open and secret, another force that is usually not thought of but whose strength is absolutely huge has begun to pay attention to all this!
This is - the imperial court!
The so-called: "Jianghu affairs, rivers and lakes", if you describe the relationship between the government and the martial arts, the four words "clear and clear" are simply more appropriate, the people in the martial arts have a different view of the government than ordinary people, and they are more accustomed to seeing the government as a force.
In the eyes of the people in the martial arts, the government is more like another organization independent of the Jianghu system, a powerful organization, and both sides maintain a tacit relationship that cannot be seen or touched.
Murder and arson are very common in the rivers and lakes, but when the government faces such incidents, it keeps them at a certain distance.
There are several boundaries in this, one is that ordinary people must not suffer too much, and the other is that they must not kill people in the government.
Therefore, the people in the rivers and lakes are very secretive about the word government, do not say, do not mention, do not provoke, and try their best to avoid the people in the government.
The above two boundaries are on the surface, but there is another implicit boundary, which is precisely the most important boundary, that is, no matter how martial arts develops and how it flourishes, it must not threaten the rule of the imperial court over the local state capitals.
And there is one event that almost changes or violates all of this, and that is the disaster of the Tiger Power Evil Beast some time ago.
Hundreds of people died in vain, 50,000 soldiers guarding the city in the valley died, and the most important thing is that the organization of the government suddenly realized for the first time that its position had begun to be threatened by the organization of the rivers and lakes.
Therefore, the forces of the imperial court have begun to pay extremely careful and cautious attention to the affairs of the rivers and lakes, which has undoubtedly added more uncertainties to the already chaotic situation.
And at this moment, in the Southern Xinjiang Imperial Sword Divine Sect, Qin Yufeng has already scolded Nalan Ming and his gang thousands of times!
Xiao Jinfeng walked up to Qin Yufeng and said in a low voice: "Valley Master, the matter has come to this, it's useless to be anxious!"
Qin Yufeng slammed his fist on the desk and said angrily: "A bunch of fools, always wishful thinking! In this way, we will be more passive!"
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, "Yes, no matter how effective this boundary order is, there is no doubt that in the next step, the Central Plains Martial Arts can spare a large part of their energy to fight against our southern frontier with all their might!"
When Qin Yufeng heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he said loudly: "Not only that, the Central Plains is powerful, and the mysterious organization in Southern Xinjiang is estimated to be powerful, but we are caught in the middle, and we have been pushed to the surface, and the situation is really unfavorable for us!"
Xiao Jinfeng sighed and said: "Yes, what's even more tricky is that the jade book and the red smoke furnace magic weapon have been properly placed, guarded by Master Huiming and the eight masters of the Xuanyu Sect, and the location of the placement is difficult to determine, our plan to snatch the jade book and the red smoke furnace magic weapon, I'm afraid it will be difficult to implement!"
Qin Yufeng paced back and forth in a distraught manner, and said angrily: "Even if we know that the jade book and magic weapons are hidden there, just one Huiming mage is enough, plus the eight masters of the Xuanyu Sect, it is impossible to grab it! Speaking of which, our strength is still too weak!"
Xiao Jinfeng comforted: "Sect Master, you don't need to be too anxious, we should shrink our strength at this moment, wait and see what happens, and snatch the jade book and magic weapons, it's better to put it back, there are always people who are more anxious than us!"
Qin Yufeng thought for a moment and said, "Are you the mysterious organization of Guijiang?"
Xiao Jinfeng nodded and said, "Yes, judging from the situation we have at the moment, this mysterious organization, in the next big game of chess, they seem to be mysteriously looking for something!"
Qin Yufeng suddenly smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Well, yes, Brother Xiao, you are right, judging from their sneaky signs, they are indeed looking for something!"
Xiao Jinfeng sighed deeply and said, "Sect Master, in fact, this is also a dangerous place!"
Qin Yufeng frowned slightly again, and said, "What do you mean, Brother Xiao say it quickly!"
Xiao Jinfeng was silent for a moment, and said: "Sect Master, you must also be able to perceive that the power of this organization is really not to be underestimated, and at the moment, Rashomon and our Imperial Sword Divine Sect, to put it mildly, are simply two chess pieces of this mysterious organization, and they are two disobedient chess pieces!"
Qin Yufeng smiled self-deprecatingly and nodded, expressing his agreement with Xiao Jinfeng's words.
Xiao Jinfeng continued: "In other words, this mysterious organization is busy planning an earth-shattering event, he has no time to pay attention to us, once he has his free hand, can I think so, he will settle accounts with our autumn queen?"
Qin Yufeng's face showed a trace of worry again, he nodded slowly, Xiao Jinfeng smiled slightly, and said: "Therefore, the sect master, I have made my own decision and contacted a force, hoping to introduce it to the sect master, maybe, we can get benefits in the competition of these forces!"
Qin Yufeng's face was impassive, and he said secretly in his heart: "Here, for such a long time, you have secretly contacted some mysterious people without me, and you are going to show your hand today!"
But his inner activities must not let Xiao Jinfeng know, at least on the surface, he must show great trust in Xiao Jinfeng.
In a moment, a figure slowly walked in from outside the hall, this person looked like he was in his fifties, with white hair and eyebrows, no beard on his face, his whole body was clean and neat, and he was dressed in a purple-black robe meticulously, and his neatness was a bit excessive.
With Qin Yufeng's cultivation, judging from this person's walking posture alone, he immediately noticed that this person had kung fu, but to Qin Yufeng's surprise, the temperament that this person showed in his gestures was definitely not what people in the martial arts should have.
This is a temperament that is different from all martial arts knights, rigorous, upright, and meticulous, which is diametrically opposed to the free-spirited, casual, and eclectic feeling of the heroes of the rivers and lakes, Qin Yufeng was attracted by this person in an instant.
This person calmly walked to the center of the main hall, looked at Xiao Jinfeng, Xiao Jinfeng smiled slightly, and said: "Sect Master, I have been in close contact with this friend for a while now, but the situation has been uncertain, so I failed to report to the Sect Master in time, and I hope that the Sect Master will atone for his sins!"
Qin Yufeng smiled slightly, and said loudly: "Brother Xiao, what did you say, can't I still trust you?" You must be doing this for the sake of our Imperial Sword Divine Sect, and you haven't asked for advice yet, this is ......?"
