Chapter 664: Four Institutes Join Together
[Get 70 mastery points]

[342 mastery points remaining]

[Consume 320 mastery points, and the martial arts Eight Directions Thundering will be improved. ]

"Zhou Changji has 60 points, Zhao Yin has 70 points, plus the hundreds of points provided by the slower Liu Tao Bing Xu, we have finally gathered enough points for one more martial arts training."

Li Jun scanned the words on the screen and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Although the little emperor Zhu Yiyan seemed hesitant and cautious when he needed to take the initiative, he was decisive and efficient when it came to running away. Otherwise, he would definitely have been able to get more points.

However, Li Jun was quite satisfied with these gains.

After all, that army and Zhu Pingxu are no pushovers. If we really want to fight to the death, I may not be able to win alone.

What's more, there is the palace that is obviously hiding something fishy.
"It seems that the order of soldiers is not that simple."

The refining and enhancement of Li Jun's strength was proceeding silently in his body, but Yang Bai Ze, who was standing aside, felt as if a thorn in his back. In a trance, he even felt that a black and red lightning might explode at any time and tear him into pieces. He could not help but move his feet and distance himself from Li Jun.

"Brother Jun, you are now..."

Yang Bai Ze looked at Li Jun, and for no reason he felt a sense of strangeness and alienation in his heart. He smiled bitterly and said, "You are getting stronger and stronger."

"You are not bad, kid. Even the Nine Lords of the East Palace personally pulled you into a dream, but they couldn't bewitch and control you."

Li Jun asked with a smile: "What time is it now?"

"Not worth mentioning." Yang Bai Ze shook his head and said, "If I hadn't been protected by someone, I would have returned to the Yang family to be my filial son and grandson."

Upon hearing this, Li Jun turned his head to look to the side, only to see Shang Lu in black standing farther away, looking at his nose and his heart, with his brows lowered, and he had no intention of communicating with him at all.

It seems that I am still not welcomed by the law.
"Brother Shang doesn't know how to face you, Brother Jun." Yang Baize explained softly.

Li Jun raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "What kind of statement is this?"

"The core of the legal order is the Great Ming Code. If we apply those clauses to you, Jun, I'm afraid the charges would be written from head to toe, and there would be a lot of omissions."

Yang Bai Ze smiled and said, "But if we want to sentence you, Jun brother, I'm afraid no one can do it in the current legal order. But if we don't sentence you, Shang brother's legal will will be restless, so it's better to just pretend that we didn't see it."

"It's not that I don't dare to face it, but the law is nothing more than human feelings. Li Jun, you are guilty of the law, but you are innocent of the people, so our law will not touch you."

As soon as Yang Bai Ze finished speaking, a burst of cold and harsh words came from under Shang Lu's lowered head.

But no matter how you listen to it, it always gives people a feeling of embarrassment as if the actor is trying to save face.

"thank you."

Li Jun shouted carelessly.

He had a good impression of Fa Xu, so he naturally wouldn't be so bored as to argue with Shang Lu about whether the other party was really not afraid or just pretending not to be afraid.

"How is the situation in Chengdu Prefecture going?"

On his way back from Northern Zhili, Li Jun received news from the East Courtyard that the Fu Li of Longhu Mountain led a team to attack Chengdu Prefecture where Pei Xingjian was stationed at night, so he asked this question at that moment.

"Both sides suffered heavy losses, with more than a hundred followers killed. The area within a three-mile radius of the Chengdu government office was razed to the ground by the Tiangui Stars, affecting more than ten thousand innocent civilians. The number of Daoxu followers who took advantage of the chaos to flee towards Longhu Mountain was countless."

Yang Bai Ze's tone was particularly heavy. It was obvious that the losses in Chengdu Prefecture in this battle were beyond his expectations.

Li Jun frowned and asked, "Fu Li is not dead?"

"Almost. Zhang Siyuan and Fu Li fought until they were both seriously injured and on the verge of death, and were taken back to their respective camps."

"That shouldn't be the case. With how sinister Old Zhang is, how could he not have expected that Longhu Mountain would launch a surprise attack on Chengdu Prefecture?"

Li Jun looked puzzled and muttered to himself, "What on earth is he planning?"

"The Big Dipper of the New Dao Order was completely annihilated, not a single one was left."

Yang Baize's powerful answer solved Li Jun's confusion.

"Master Pei's purpose of staying in Chengdu Prefecture is to intercept the believers of Qingcheng Mountain and attract Longhu Mountain to take action."

Sky track stars
Li Jun suddenly remembered the fireworks he saw in Bandi.

Having been bombarded by the stars in the sky many times, he had no way to deal with these Taoist magic weapons floating at very high altitudes, but that did not mean Ru Xu was incapable of dealing with them.

Now it seems that the results are very significant.

"Brother Jun, are you going to Longhu Mountain next?" Yang Bai Ze suddenly asked.

Facing Yang Bai Ze's question, Li Jun nodded and asked, "Do you think it's inappropriate?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. I just envy you, Jun, for being able to take revenge so easily."

Yang Bai Ze said with self-mockery: "Unlike me, even if someone dug out my blood relatives from their brains to humiliate me, I can only watch and have no ability to fight back."

"You envy me, and I envy you just as much."

Li Jun looked at Yang Bai Ze, whose height had reached his shoulders, with a smile in his eyes: "Ever since I was a muddy brother in Chengdu, I felt that there was a hand pushing me forward. I had no ability to do whatever I wanted, and I had no right to take things as they came. Even if I wanted to stop and take a breath, I might be stabbed in the heart from behind, and die with my eyes wide open."

"Even now, I still feel that I haven't completely figured out what I want. I have done my best to be able to receive a favor, repay a favor, and barely make up for what I owe. I am not like you, who are always so determined in your goals."

“Am I firm?”

Yang Bai Ze's raised head gradually lowered, and hesitation and struggle emerged in his facial features.

"Brother Jun, Master Pei told me..."

After a moment, Yang Bai Ze, who had made up his mind, finally spoke: "He said that the Prime Minister wants to eradicate all sequences in this world."

Shang Lu, who was standing in the distance, suddenly looked up, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, but the next moment he met a pair of eyes filled with ferocity.

With just one glance, Shang Lu was instantly gripped by an intense fear in his heart, unable to move, and the scolding that was about to come out of his mouth was stuck behind his teeth.

Li Jun looked away expressionlessly and looked at Yang Baize again.

"I know. The old man told me that a long time ago."

Yang Bai Ze was stunned: "Brother Jun, you know? Then why do you still want it?"

"Why do you want to join forces with Zhang Fengyue, right? Because I don't like this chaotic and chaotic world either, and it's a good opportunity for me to clean up some annoying debris with him. As for what you're worried about..."

"I have no interest in being the king or dominating others. I will not sacrifice myself for others. He saves his world, and I take my revenge. If Lao Zhang really wants to cause trouble for me one day, we can only see who has the bigger fist."

Li Jun smiled and said, "You have now entered the sight of the East Palace. Those grandsons are insidious and are best at sneak attacks. You should be careful. If you really reach the end of your rope, don't hold on. If you should surrender, you should surrender. As long as you are alive, there is still a chance to turn the tables."

After he finished speaking, Li Jun turned around and prepared to leave.

"Brother Jun! I have to go back to Jinling to cooperate with Liu Jinxun to mobilize the Ruxu troops."

Yang Baize shouted loudly towards the tall figure.

At this moment, his face was flushed, and his former immaturity was almost gone, but the stubbornness in his eyes was the same as before.

The young man clenched his fists, just like when he was facing the questioning of his elders in his dream, trying his best to prove himself.

"Remember what I told you before? I'm not the same kid anymore. I will definitely be able to change the world. It won't take long. Just wait and see!"

The shouts in the Shu accent seemed to bring the two back to that night in Mianzhou County.

"If you want it, I'll be waiting for you!"

Li Jun paused, waved his hand without turning his head, and spoke in a loud and heroic voice. Boom!
Thunder roared and a figure rose into the sky.

"Is this the first time that our four academies have met via projection? Damn, I am getting more and more frustrated as time goes by."

Song Mang, the elder of the Mo Xu North Branch, said "Hey", and his face with a red nose was full of resentment.

"Old Song, you know what's going on in Huangliang now. There are so many people lying in ambush at the East Palace. If we show our heads, we will be surrounded by them. If we drown in the dark sea, it will be a really miserable death."

Han Yang comforted him, "The situation is stronger than people, you have to endure it."

"This Huangliang was obviously built by our Mo Xu, but now he is forced to not even dare to enter. What kind of thing is this?"

Song Mang's face was still full of anger, and he kept shouting at the top of his voice.

"Okay, Song Mang, what's the point of complaining about this now?"

The man who spoke had dark skin and a strong build. His black hair made him stand out among the crowd. He had high cheekbones and triangular eyes. Even though he was just a projection at the moment, he couldn't conceal the sharp aura on him.

This person is Tao Tang, the elder of the Western Branch of Mo Xu, located deep in the Gobi Desert in the Western Regions.

"Why is it meaningless?"

Song Mang, who is addicted to alcohol, is the foremost master of military equipment in Mo Xu. His temper is as powerful as the firearms he is good at forging.

"If you ask me, we should deploy our forces and fight the East Palace. If we retreat without a fight and suffer humiliation like now, are we still considered members of the Moxu Sect?"

"What will happen if I don't retreat?"

Fan Xianjing, the elder of the Nanyuan, whose headquarters is hidden in the Jiugang area, took over the conversation and said unhappily: "Now all the Huangliang authority in our hands is used to hide the location of Minggui Realm. What can we use to compete with Donghuang Palace?"

"It is true that a dragon in shallow water is bullied by shrimps, and a tiger in plain water is bullied by dogs."

Song Mang knew that Fan Xianjing was telling the truth. Although he was still unwilling, he could only sigh and shake his head.

"If someone from our Moxu was promoted to the second rank and took over the position of Juzi again, how could he be bullied like this?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the dimly lit secret room fell into deathly silence.

Everyone is well aware of the dilemma Mo Xu is facing.

But how easy is it to give birth to a sequence two?
Looking at the entire Ming Empire, there are only three people in the second place, Zhang Fengyue of Confucianism, Zhang Xiji of Taoism, and the God of Donghuang Palace who is always hiding behind the scenes.

Apart from them, only Li Jun, the lone warrior who ranks third in combat power, can barely be ranked on par with them.

However, whether they can be compared will have to wait until Li Jun fights with one of them to be confirmed.

As for Mo Xu, there are three in Xu, but they are basically all old people. Their potential in creating new technologies and methods has been exhausted, let alone leading a new wave of techniques.

There are many talented people among the younger generation, including a few with outstanding talents, but it is sheer nonsense to expect them to break through two ranks in a row.

What's more, Mo Xu is still in a state of division, with each family cherishing its own things, and it is almost impossible for the second Mo Xu to be born.

"Actually, what Lao Song said makes sense."

Han Yang was the first to speak to break the dull atmosphere, and slowly said: "Huangliang's importance to our Moxu is self-evident. If we give up like this, it would be no different from having our hands and feet chopped off and our eyes dug out."

"Han Yang, you, a tepid old man, finally said something strong this time."

Song Mang's eyes lit up: "Do you have any ideas?"

"We have to fight for it. But as I said before, we don't have the advantage now. We must not rush into a head-on confrontation with the East Palace. We must take a long-term view and proceed step by step!"

Song Mang said impatiently: "Can you please stop keeping us in suspense? We are all family members here. Is there anything you can't just say?"

"Elder Han."

Tao Tang, the elder of the West Court, seemed to be thinking: "You took the initiative to call a meeting with the other three courts this time. It should not be just to discuss with us how to break through the blockade of Huangliang by the East Palace, right?"

"Tao Tang, you are right. The reason I summoned you all today is indeed not just for the matter of Huang Liang."

Han Yang did not hide it and said with a smile: "I would like to take this opportunity to talk to everyone about how we, Mo Xu, should overcome the difficulties in front of us!"

Tao Tang frowned and said, "Elder Han, what do you mean?"

"Stand together for warmth, unity is strength. Mo Xu merges, the four families become one!"

Han Yang's voice was sonorous and powerful, but everyone fell silent again.

Even the hot-tempered Song Mang was no exception. His two thick, gray eyebrows were tightly twisted together. He dragged out a wine bottle from behind and gulped it down.

"The Moxu family has been divided for so many years, and each branch has moved to different places. Old Fan, your South Branch is at the bottom of the old harbor, Song Mang, your North Branch is in the Mobei grassland, and Tao Tang, your West Branch is in the Western Gobi Desert. They stretch across the empire. If we continue to maintain the current status quo, then if something unexpected happens, the other branches will be out of reach and unable to rescue us at all."

"The empire is in turmoil right now, with Confucianism, Taoism, and Yin-Yang competing against each other. The Zhu family is ready to make a move and may enter the fray at any time. We don't have much time to hesitate."

Han Yang said solemnly: "So if Mo Xu wants to get through this safely, merging into one is our only choice!"

Indeed, what Han Yang said made a lot of sense, and it was indeed Mo Xu’s only and most correct choice at the moment.

But couldn’t Song Mang, Tao Tang and Fan Xianjing have thought of this?

Of course not. They are all in charge of a branch, and none of them is stupid.

But they have indeed not considered the issue of merging, because it is too difficult to implement and there is too much resistance.

First of all, after the merger, the four hospitals must relocate and concentrate the personnel in the hospitals in one place for joint defense, otherwise the merger will be meaningless.

This poses a serious problem: where should be abandoned and where should the personnel be concentrated?

These are all old nests that the families have run for many years. No one would be willing to give up the territory and population that they have accumulated with great difficulty and move to live under someone else's roof with their families.

Secondly, it is about how to deal with the technical methods and research topics currently stored in each institute.

These are things more precious than human life. Should we share them after we merge?

If it is not shared, internal discord will inevitably breed, and there will be a risk of splitting again without anyone else taking action.

Moreover, in this case, the biggest purpose of the merger - to give birth to a Mo Xu II - is just a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water.

But if we want to share, how should we control the scale? Should we exchange one by one, or let it go completely?

Although they are people of the same order, they have been separated for too long after all. People's hearts are hidden from each other. Who can guarantee that there will be no hidden tricks behind the scenes during the sharing process?
If these problems are not solved, the four institutes will never be able to merge into one.

"Looking at your expressions, I know what you are thinking. It's really boring."

Song Mang couldn't stand this seemingly endless silence any longer, so he raised his hand to open the empty wine bottle and spit out a strong breath of alcohol.

"I have a straightforward personality. I always like to speak my mind directly. I hate hiding things the most."

Song Mang looked at Han Yang and said, "From my personal point of view, I agree with the merging of the four courtyards. But Old Han, you should know clearly why Mo Xu split up before."

"It is because after the death of the previous Juzi, no one in Moxu could win the support of the people, which led to the people's separation, so everyone went their separate ways. Now Moxu still has no Xu Er, and the position of Juzi is still vacant."

Song Mang turned around and looked around at everyone: "So I just want to ask one question, if we want to merge, which branch should we take as the main one?"

"Good question. Of course it's the East Courtyard!"

A magnetic and deep laugh suddenly rang out.

Shen Li pushed the door open and walked in, then sat down in an empty chair with his arms and legs spread out.
