Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 693: Wulin Conference? No, it's the Dragon Conference
The news that the Prince of Taiping was planning to rebuild the Suzaku Dynasty soon reached Lu Ping's ears.

These days, he has been keeping an eye on the goings-on in the martial arts world, so whenever there is any movement in Gongguanting, he is always the first to know the news.

"Prince Taiping..."

"If I remember correctly, it should be Gong Jiu?"

Even in the 'Invisible Man' organization, Gong Jiu is a very special person.

This name is just a code name, not a real name.

But for most people, including Lu Ping, Gong Jiu’s real name is actually not important. Outsiders only need to know his other two identities.

In the court, he was the 'Prince of Taiping';
In the opposition, he is 'Gong Jiu'.

'Palace' means that he has royal power behind him;

"Nine" represents the nine things that make up this person: the fluid of a poisonous snake, the heart of a fox, the ice and snow in the North Sea, the rocks on Mount Tianshan, the bravery of a lion, the cruelty of a jackal, the patience of a camel, the wisdom of a human, and a ghost from the eighteen levels of hell.

If one had to put a third label on Gong Jiu besides 'Crown Prince' and 'Gong Jiu', Lu Ping's first choice would definitely not be 'Kendo Master', but 'Masochist'.

Gong Jiu has a perverted psychology that ordinary people cannot understand. He likes to be abused, and can only get spiritual satisfaction in this process.

Lu Ping had received a good ideological education, so he was completely unable to understand Gong Jiu's psychology and habits.

But for the same reason, he respects the other person's quirks.

"Why would Gong Jiu want to rebuild the Suzaku Dynasty out of nowhere?"

"From the description in the book, he shouldn't be the kind of person who likes power, right?"

If a person's destiny differs from his original trajectory, there must be a reason that causes him to change.

Lu Ping's intuition told him that this matter was most likely related to the invisible forces behind Gong Jiu, and it might be the "little old man" Wu Ming who was secretly operating it.

But Wu Ming was not a person who liked power. He couldn't just let someone who was not suitable to be an emperor establish a dynasty just because he had nothing to do, right?

With this question in mind, Lu Ping spent a peaceful half month.

……

The time has come for a new "Martial Arts Conference", and the venue is still in Wuji Mountain.

Inside the teahouse at the foot of Wuji Mountain.

Looking at the gangsters riding their horses at full speed, leaving behind billowing clouds of dust, the teahouse owner couldn't help but laugh, and turned around to joke with the guests.

"I remember the last martial arts conference was held less than two months ago?"

"This is really interesting! Will the Jianghu conference be held once a month from now on?"

"If that's the case, maybe the land here will appreciate in value in the future!"

"Maybe even my small teahouse can become bigger and stronger and achieve greater glory!"

"Hahaha……"

After hearing what the boss said, all the guests in the teahouse started laughing.

No matter which era, holding two martial arts conferences consecutively within less than two months is unheard of and unseen in the martial arts world.

But there is no way, because the reasons for holding these two conferences are both extremely important.

Amid the laughter of the teahouse owner and guests, Lu Ping stood up, paid the bill, and walked leisurely towards the top of Wuji Mountain.

On the way up the mountain, there were many other people from the martial arts world who came to join in the fun like him.

These people gathered in groups of three or five, chatting about the upcoming turmoil in the martial arts world.

"Hey, have you heard?" "On the surface, representatives from all the major sects came to this martial arts conference to discuss how to support the Prince of Taiping in rebuilding the Suzaku Dynasty, but in fact, these people are fighting each other openly or secretly!"

A young man who was obviously new to the martial arts world looked at the person who started the topic with his eyes wide open, his eyes full of clear stupidity: "Fighting each other? Fighting for what? Why fighting?"

"What else can we fight for? Of course, it's for the 'merit of following the dragon'!"

The person in front sneered, "If it were you, I would say that today's event shouldn't be called the 'Martial Arts Conference', it should just be called the 'Follow the Dragon Conference'."

Hundreds of years ago, Zhu's ancestors relied on the help of the Five Mountains and Seven Sects to establish the great country of Suzaku Dynasty in the chaotic southern martial arts world.

Because of their merits in following the dragon, the Five Mountains and Seven Sects were able to call the shots in the martial arts world and ruled it for more than a hundred years.

If the descendants of Zhu family want to revive now, they naturally cannot do without the help of the underworld forces, but there are certain considerations on how to help.

It should be noted that after nearly a hundred years of turmoil in the martial arts world, the Five Mountains and Seven Sects have declined a lot compared to the beginning, while other small gangs are growing stronger and the gap between the two sides is narrowing year by year.

The martial arts world today is no longer a one-man show where the Five Mountains and Seven Sects have the final say.

The influence of forces such as Shangtonghui, Tianlong Gang, Guyue Sect, Yihua Palace, Tianzun, Murong Villa, etc. in the martial arts world has exceeded that of several of the Five Mountains and Seven Sects.

It is impossible for these underworld forces, which are constantly growing, to sit idly by and watch the old gangsters once again rely on their merits of following the dragon to bully others and act tyrannically.

The greater possibility is to replace it!
As for the older generation of underworld forces, they neither want their positions to be replaced by other forces, nor do they want to see more people get involved and turn the "Five Mountains and Seven Sects" into "Five Mountains, Seven Sects, Four Gangs, Six Associations..."

After all, the pie of Southern Wulin is so small, and if there is one more force to share it, the vested interests will get less benefit.

No one could be so generous as to voluntarily give up their own food rations to other underworld forces.

"I see……"

"I never thought that the heroes in the martial arts world would be as scheming as the women in the mansions."

"I thought they only cared about revenge."

After the old martial artist’s explanation, the newcomer finally understood the reasons why the major sects were fighting each other, and couldn’t help but sigh.

"Boy, isn't this your first time going out?"

"To be able to say something like that means you are still too young and your understanding of the martial arts world is too superficial!"

The old man raised his eyebrows and warned seriously: "Remember one thing, there are only two places in the world where intrigue is the most likely, one is the court, and the other is the underworld."

"As for that big house full of women you mentioned, it's cleaner than my trouser pocket!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

The newcomer smiled sheepishly and asked, "Senior, I understand what you said about the major sects fighting each other, but I don't know what they are fighting about? How will they fight?"

The old man sneered and said, "It's nothing more than a competition of which family has a larger territory, more disciples, stronger martial arts, sharper weapons, and higher reputation."

"As for how the competition will be conducted, that is not something that we outsiders can know, but I think a set of rules will be released today."

The new guy in the martial arts world blinked in confusion, unable to figure out what this so-called "rule" specifically meant.

Could it be that all the major sects took out their own account books, disciple rosters, and martial arts books for comparison?
Thinking of this, the newcomer couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Everyone didn't know what he was thinking, but seeing that he was so innocent, they started laughing too.

After a while, everyone stopped smiling.

The newcomer suddenly raised a question that many martial artists had never thought of.

"By the way, do the major sects in the martial arts world really want to support the Prince of Taiping to ascend to the throne and rebuild the Suzaku Dynasty?"
