Martial Arts: I am in the Ming Cult and I am building a dynasty

Xu Longxiang is the son of the King of Beiliang, so he has to be saved.

Xu Yanbing could at most be regarded as a fierce general in the Northern Liang army. It was normal for a general to die in battle.

Wang Zhonglou and Zhao Xichuan looked at each other and handed over Xu Yanbing.

Chapter 297 Dialogue with Wudang of the Song Dynasty and Longhu Mountain

The situation is stronger than the people. Even if Wang Zhonglou is the head of Wudang and Zhao Xichuan is the heavenly master of Longhu Mountain, they have to behave extremely honestly when facing the threat of the nine martial saints.

Not to mention, there are Wang Xianzhi, Ling Donglai and others around Yang Zhao.

After handing over Xu Yan's soldiers, Wang Zhonglou and Zhao Xichuan prepared to leave.

But right now.

Yang Zhao suddenly said, "Master Wang, Master Zhao, please stay for a moment. Can you listen to a few words from me?"

Wang Zhonglou and Zhao Xichuan paused and turned their heads expressionlessly.

Yang Zhao smiled faintly and said, "Today, the gates of heaven are open and the gods have descended to the mortal world. The two elders have come to help without caring about the old grudges between the Song Dynasty and Beiliang. I am very grateful for this and will wait for the Song Dynasty court and the people to thank you."

Wang Zhonglou and Zhao Xichuan both had stiff smiles on their faces and made various excuses.

Help, what kind of help is that?

Both Wang Chonglou and Zhao Xichuan came to the shore of Taihu Lake to prevent the immortals from descending to the mortal world, but they never thought of going to the battlefield to stop the Blood Wolf God from enjoying the blood sacrifice.

In the Wudang Dang Temple of the Great Song Dynasty and the Longhu Mountain of the Great Song Dynasty, ancestors from every generation broke through the void and ascended to the upper realms.

The two sects have to deal with various forces in the sky. As long as they do not violate the bottom line of principles such as the covenant between man and God, they have to turn a blind eye to many things.

Otherwise, even if the combined strength of the ancestors of the two families was combined, it would still be difficult in heaven.

Even Wang Xianzhi, Ling Donglai and others, due to various reasons and taboos, would not intervene as long as the Blood Wolf God did not leave the Taihu battlefield.

Only Deng Tai'a, in order to repay the past kindness, disregarded all taboos and rushed directly into the Taihu battlefield to fight with the Blood Wolf God.

Wang Zhonglou and Zhao Xichuan could only listen to Yang Zhao's thanks.

However, just after Yang Zhao finished expressing his gratitude, he suddenly changed the subject, which made Wang Zhonglou and Zhao Xichuan's faces turn ugly again.

Words of thanks are just a courtesy and a way to start a conversation.

What Yang Zhao really wanted to say was, of course, the issue of humanity fighting for the dragon.

"Master Wang, Master Zhao, I wonder what you two think about the war between the Song Dynasty and the Northern Liang Dynasty?"

"Are Wudang and Longhushan the leaders of the Taoist sect of the Song Dynasty, or are they the arms of the Song Dynasty that helped the Northern Liang Dynasty to cause unrest?"

There was no relaxation or wit.

Yang Zhao used almost the most straightforward approach to point out the embarrassing situation of Wudang and Longhushan in the Song Dynasty, and even seemed to be forcing the two of them.

This question is difficult to answer.

Wudang and Longhu Mountain are both located within the territory of the Song Dynasty and have enjoyed worship from the people of the Song Dynasty for two hundred years. However, their ancestors had an entanglement with the Great Emperor Zhenwu, so they had to stand on the side of Beiliang.

Yang Zhao’s question.

It can be said that if one of them gives a bad answer, it will lead to a complete break with the Song Dynasty court.

If it really came to that, there was no doubt that not only would Wang Zhonglou and Zhao Xichuan not be able to leave safely today, Wudang and Longhu Mountain would definitely be in trouble.

So at this moment, Wang Zhonglou and Zhao Xichuan had to cheer up.

Look at Yang Zhao for a moment.

Wang Zhonglou was the first to speak, saying, "Master Zhao, we are frank and don't speak in secret. I wonder how the court is going to treat us, the Taoist sect?"

Yang Zhao's eyes were sharp as he said, "It depends on the decision of the sects behind you two."

"As for the current matter and the previous matter, considering that Wudang and Longhu Mountain are both righteous sects of the Song Dynasty and have respected the imperial court for two hundred years, as long as Wudang and Longhu Mountain do not interfere, then we will let it go."

"If Wudang and Longhushan still can't see the situation clearly, then there is nothing to say. Yang has never been shy about massacring a mountain or exterminating a clan. All we need to do is wait for the war to start."

Yang Zhao's words were loud and powerful.

After hearing Yang Zhao's answer, Wang Zhonglou and Zhao Xichuan both looked extremely ugly.

At the very least, judging from the current situation, whether it is Wudang or Longhushan, they have no chance of winning if they really face the full-scale encirclement and suppression of the Song Dynasty court.

What's more, Shangyin Academy had already stayed out of the matter, and the entire Confucius family in Qingzhou was wiped out.

Even Zhu Xi, the second sage, committed suicide and passed away.

Without all this help, Wudang and Longhu Mountain would be completely wiped out and would not be able to shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty court at all, and would only be meaningless sacrifices.

Yang Zhao's dominance made Wang Zhonglou and Zhao Xichuan angry, aggrieved, and helpless.

It took quite a while.

Zhao Xichuan just opened his mouth and said, "Master Zhao, is there no room for easing this matter?"

Yang Zhao looked at Zhao Xichuan with a cold face and said, "Master Zhao, what you mean is that the Song Dynasty needs to support you and then let you serve Beiliang and hinder the Song Dynasty?"

"Do you think the Song Dynasty court is full of idiots, or do you think you are too shameless to be in Longhu Mountain?"

Such words are almost like scolding someone in a direct direction.

But Zhao Xichuan didn't know how to refute, and blamed himself for asking too stupid a question.

The scene became quiet again.

Wang Zhonglou seemed to have struggled for a long time, and made a decision. He said, "Master Zhao, if I am willing to cut myself off from the world and close the Wudang Mountain, can you allow the Wudang Taoist lineage to continue?"

Wang Zhonglou didn't believe a single word of Yang Zhao's previous words about writing off the issue.

Wudang had a close relationship with the Prince of Beiliang, and committed an unforgivable crime in the Song Dynasty that was close to treason.

The court is now speaking nicely, and all past grudges are wiped out.

But once the imperial court has stabilized the situation and dealt with Beiliang, it would be strange if it didn't exterminate the Wudang sect.

Yang Zhao looked at Wang Zhonglou in surprise.

He is a wise man.

After a pause, Yang Zhao said, "The Wudang Zhenwu inheritance must be exterminated. The Wang Sect leader's lineage may as well move all of them to Beiliang, and ask other branches of the Wudang Sect to come and take charge of the situation."

Yang Zhao’s meaning was very clear. He was not afraid that you would go against the Song Dynasty, but those whose hearts were with Beiliang must be eliminated.

The people of Wudang and Longhushan can be reorganized.

However, Yang Zhao was unwilling to completely eliminate the two major sects, Wudang and Longhushan, unless it was absolutely necessary.

On the one hand, Wudang and Longhu Mountain are the leaders of Taoism, with branches all over the world. If we really want to wipe out Wudang and Longhu Mountain in the Song Dynasty, it will attract hostility from Taoism.

On the other hand, leaving Wudang and Longhu Mountain behind can also serve as a check and balance against Buddhism.

However, people like Wang Zhonglou, Hong Xixiang, Zhao Xichuan, etc. who tried their best to help Beiliang must be eliminated. Even if they cannot be killed on the spot, they must be driven out of the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, if such people stayed in the territory of the Song Dynasty, they would only be a disaster.

Chapter 298 Humiliating Pang Ban

Whether it is Wudang or Longhu Mountain, both are top Taoist sects with profound heritage and long historical heritage. Their existence in this land is even longer than the history of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, not everyone in these two major sects wants to get involved in the vortex of humanity's fight for the dragon.

Wudang's Wang Chonglou, Hong Xixiang and others are very powerful. They are from the Dahuangting lineage passed down by Zhenwu himself. They are considered to be Zhenwu's reincarnation as the Prince of Beiliang's loyal followers, and are welded to a ship.

However, among Wudang, there were also elders like the Silver Bottle Iron Cavalry who did not participate in it. They even had many conflicts with Wang Zhonglou's lineage and were closer to the Song Dynasty court.

The same is true for Longhu Mountain, where the internal situation is extremely complicated.

What Yang Zhao has to do is to take advantage of the momentum of the battle in Taihu Lake to thoroughly eliminate the hidden dangers in the two major sects of Wudang and Longhu Mountain.

Let’s not talk about the outcome of the war between the Song Dynasty and Northern Liang.

In the present-day Song Dynasty alone, except for the monk Longshu of Liangchan Temple, the tentacles that once extended from Beiliang have almost all been completely cut off by Yang Zhao, and a large number of hidden dangers have been eliminated.

Faced with this situation, Wang Zhonglou, Zhao Xichuan and others had to agree.

Wait until Wang Zhonglou and Zhao Xichuan took Xu Longxiang away in a panic.

At this time, Yang Zhao finally set his gaze on the void on one side of the Taihu battlefield.

"I have long heard that the Mongol magician Pangban has the ability to see through the heavens and the earth. Today's incident really opened Yang's eyes."

"Mister Magician, are you not going to come out and meet with Yang?"

As Yang Zhao's voice fell.

In the void on one side of the Taihu battlefield, a piece of space suddenly twisted and rotated, flashing several times like an illusion, and then its true appearance was completely revealed.

In the void, I saw a huge figure with half black and half white hair, carrying infinite demonic nature.

Next to them were King Jinlun and Mahaye, who had disappeared long ago on the Taihu battlefield. As for Zhao Min and Taoist Baisun, they had also disappeared.

Different from Xu Longxiang and Xu Yanbing who were seriously injured and unconscious before.

King Jinlun, who was also on the battlefield, just looked a little pale, without many signs of injuries on his body. As for Mahaye, there was not even a trace of battle left, and his appearance was solemn and majestic.

This Maha leaf doesn't look like a good one.

Yang Zhaoduo glanced at Mahaye, and then his eyes met Pang Ban.

Pang Ban raised his eyebrows, as if he was dissatisfied with Yang Zhao's gaze, but he suppressed his anger and said, "It has been a long time since I have seen a young man as talented as you. You are very good."

In response to Pang Ban's compliment, Yang Zhao smiled without saying anything, with a teasing look in his eyes.

The current situation is almost desperate for Pang Ban and others. No matter how capable Pang Ban is, Yang Zhao can sit back and wait.

Seeing Yang Zhao being so rude, Pang Ban became even more angry.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

He looked at the expressionless Wang Xianzhi, Ling Donglai, Dugu Qiubai, Huang Shang, Zhao Defang, Wei Qingqingqing and others, and then looked at Shi Shouxin, Li Jixun and others who were ready to make a move.

Pang Ban had to smile aggrievedly and said, "My friend, if you want to take action today, you can definitely keep me here. But I am not talented. Before I came here, I was ordered by His Majesty the Great Yuan Dynasty to be one of the thirteen wings under the Changshengtian throne."

"Leaving Pang here will not benefit the Song Dynasty. Instead, it will anger the Yuan Dynasty and mobilize the grassland cavalry to the south, because the majesty of Changshengtian cannot be challenged."

Pang Ban's words caused everyone present to change their expressions slightly.

Pang Ban is at the level of Martial Saint, but it is not particularly profound. At least, in terms of realm and combat power, he is far inferior to Wang Xianzhi and Ling Donglai. He is even slightly inferior to Dugu Qiubai and Huang Shang. At most, he is only slightly stronger than Zhao Defang and Wei Qingqingqing.

But if he really becomes one of the thirteen wings under the Changshengtian throne, the situation will be more difficult.

Changshengtian is the supreme god of the foreign tribes on the grassland.

The thirteen wings under the Changshengtian throne almost cover the beliefs of all the alien races in the entire grassland.

Whether it was the Xiongnu, Turks, Khitans, Jurchens, or some other ethnic minorities on the grasslands, they all worshipped Changshengtian and respected the Thirteen Wings as the messengers of the gods.

It can be said that the status of the Thirteen Wings of Changshengtian in the grassland is the same as Zhu Xi's status in Confucianism, or even better.

Kill a divine messenger who is one of the thirteen wings under the Changshengtian throne.

Not to mention those far away, just look at the surrounding areas of the Song Dynasty, such as the Liao, Jin, Northern Mang, Mongols and all the other ethnic minority forces on the grasslands, they will do everything they can to besiege the Song Dynasty.

Even so, those alien races would never stop until the Song Dynasty was completely destroyed.

Just as Pang Ban said, killing the other party would not be worth the cost.

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then his expression turned fierce and he said, "At best, we can defeat the Song Dynasty and start all over again. Your Excellency Magician, you don't think that we can let you go just because of these few words, right?"

"The 200,000 imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were sacrificed by your Excellency the Demon Master on the Taihu Lake. If you kill you, how can we face the people of the world?"

There was murderous intent bursting from Yang Zhao's body and his eyes were cold.

Pang Ban's expression remained unchanged, but his heart skipped a beat. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Master Zhao, a situation where both sides suffer losses will not benefit either you or me. If you have any requests, please feel free to tell me."

It is true that there are 200,000 troops, but they are all rebels.

Pang Ban knew that Yang Zhao was talking nonsense, but at this moment, he had to bow his head.

Seeing that Pang Ban surrendered.

Yang Zhao's expression just eased a little, and he said, "Then please ask the magician to swear a martial arts oath first. I never believe in empty promises."

Pang Ban's face turned pale. He took a few deep breaths before asking, "Master Zhao, what do you want?"

Yang Zhao laughed and said, "Please ask the magician to swear that after returning to the grassland, he will pray for the people of the Song Dynasty every day. If he kills a Han person in the future, he will be killed by the Nine Cauldrons."
