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

Chapter 694 Roundtable Conference
The question raised by the newcomer stunned all the people present, and they fell into silence and deep thought.

For the past hundred years or so, this world has belonged to the Zhu family.

But in the future, it may not be impossible to have the surnames "Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, and Wang".

The Prince of Taiping is indeed one of the few surviving members of the orthodox Suzaku royal family, but he had made no achievements in the court and was not well-known in the world.

If you want to ascend to the throne by just raising your hand, you will inevitably fail to convince others.

Moreover, would the people of the martial arts world, who are always arrogant and like to take revenge and break the law with force, really be willing to elect an 'emperor' who would stand above everyone else and have the power of life and death?
In the underworld, if someone puts his life into the hands of another person without reservation, this person is either a madman or a fool.

The leaders of the major sects are neither crazy nor stupid, so whether they would do such a "handing over the knife" behavior is a question mark.

Soon, more and more people climbed to the top of Wuji Mountain.

The familiar scenery and scenes made these people put aside their previous concerns and look up expectantly at the conference table of the major leaders.

There are two main forms of holding the "Martial Arts Conference" in Southern Wulin.

The first is to call everyone together, make a rule, and fight according to the rules;
As for the other method, it also calls everyone together, but instead of fighting, they sit down to discuss and plan the future development of the world together.

The former is called "armed fight" or "jianghu competition", and the latter is called "parliament" or "round table meeting".

Parliament naturally needs a conference table.

Somewhere on the top of Wuji Mountain, there is a huge circular stone table, and there are nearly a hundred wooden chairs next to the stone table.

This is the conference table where the leaders of the major sects hold their "parliament".

At this time, half of the chairs were already occupied, and more and more people were 'going to the table'.

Looking around, there are familiar faces everywhere.

Those who are qualified to sit on it are, of course, the heads of the major sects, the gang leaders, or the owners of a certain villa, the heads of a certain escort agency...

Behind each of these people, there was another person standing.

Although these people were not qualified to take seats, their status was not low. They were either deputy gang leaders or elders who taught martial arts, or they were protectors or direct disciples.

Overall, this scene is still very grand.

"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and participate in today's meeting..."

The host of this parliament is still Xuan Zhixuan.

After all, the Shangtong Association is the "Jianghu Arbitration Court" recognized by the Suzaku Dynasty. It is naturally labeled as "neutral", "selfless" and "fair", and is most suitable for such occasions.

Especially since Xuan Zhixuan had 'killed the Miao King' not long ago, captured the 'Miao Prince' and thousands of Miao soldiers, his reputation was unprecedented and unique.

No matter which leader of any of the Five Mountains and Seven Sects is in his place, he would not be able to be the host.

After a brief greeting, Xuan Zhixuan went straight to the point.

"The martial arts world today is facing two major challenges."

"One is internal trouble, the other is external trouble."

"The internal worry is the decline of the Suzaku royal family. How will the people of the seven counties live in the future? The external worry is the evil dragon that destroyed the royal family. Its whereabouts are still unknown and it may cause chaos again at any time."

"How to deal with these two matters? I would like to invite all the heads and owners to express their opinions and discuss together."

"What is there to discuss?"

One of them slammed the table and stood up, saying loudly: "A few days ago, the Prince of Taiping has expressed his intention to rebuild the royal family in the public pavilion. Can't we follow the example of our predecessors a hundred years ago and support him to ascend the throne?"

Everyone looked over and found that the person who spoke was the leader of the Qingcheng Sect, one of the 'Seven Sects'.

Several years ago, Lin Pingzhi went to Qingcheng alone with a sword and avenged more than 130 people from the Fuwei Escort Agency.

However, the people he killed, Yu Canghai and his disciples, were only one branch of the Qingcheng Sect, and no innocent people were implicated in the process of revenge. Moreover, the reputation of "Weaponry and Martial Arts Classics" was at its peak at that time, so after a joint review by various forces, it was determined that Lin Pingzhi's behavior was "legitimate revenge."

The Qingcheng Sect was intimidated by various influences and did not pursue the matter further, but its reputation in the martial arts world plummeted from then on, becoming the last of the "Five Mountains and Seven Sects". Now, the Prince of Taiping wants to rebuild the Suzaku Dynasty, and the head of the Qingcheng Sect naturally has thoughts and wants to take advantage of the opportunity to respond and restore the Qingcheng Sect to its former glory.

However, not everyone is on his side.

"When the imperial dynasty was still in existence, the Prince of Taiping himself was not prominent in the court, let alone a mere Prince of Taiping?"

"I have never heard that the prince has management talent or ruling ability. I think his civil and military skills are also mediocre. How can he be an emperor?!"

The person who stood up to oppose was the leader of the Xuansong faction.

The head of Qingcheng Sect gave a cold glance and said, "There are many people from other bloodlines of the Suzaku royal family, but none of them stepped forward. Doesn't that mean we can only choose the Prince of Taiping?"

"Since Sect Leader Zuo is against the Prince of Taiping ascending the throne, why don't you nominate a suitable person?"

"Or do you want to be the emperor yourself?"

Excuse!
The leader of Qingcheng is so cruel!

Everyone was shocked and looked at Sect Leader Xuansong nervously.

Sect Leader Xuansong didn't dare to respond and sneered, "Stop talking nonsense!"

"I have been a gangster since I was young, and I have never been in the imperial court. How can I know who is suitable to be the emperor?"

"But the matter of supporting an emperor is of great importance. It is better to have no one than to have someone who is not qualified. It is not like selecting disciples in our sect. If we choose the wrong person, we can abolish his martial arts and expel him from the sect at any time."

"I don't believe that all of you here would believe that yellow-haired kid who has no achievements at all!"

Everyone present was cheered up.

"Master Zuo is right!"

"This concerns the future of the martial arts world for the next hundred years, so we must be careful!"

"We are here today to discuss a way to stabilize the martial arts world and benefit the people, not to fight for power and profit. Please calm down and sit down to talk."

As time went by, more and more people stood up to speak, but most of them were just making a cameo appearance or trying to make themselves known, unlike the two people who started out to set the pace.

The atmosphere in the meeting place gradually eased.

At this moment, a strong figure stood up.

"Everyone, why not listen to what the old Taoist has to say."

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the person who spoke was the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu.

The old Taoist priest twisted his beard and said, "Since ancient times, the change of dynasties is just like the rise and fall of the martial arts world. It is a very common thing."

"The Suzaku Dynasty was established over a hundred years ago. Perhaps it has now reached its climax. Since it has been destroyed, I think it is inconvenient for us to force its continuation. It is better to rebuild a new dynasty."

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately attracted the attention of all the participants.

Is it really okay to just say such outrageous words directly?

However, despite all the complaints, everyone actually knew the truth. Among the hundreds of people present, perhaps more than 40% had such thoughts, but they did not dare to be the first to speak up for various reasons.

If you think about it carefully, only monks like them dare to talk about changing dynasties.

So everyone started to make a noise, "Since the old Taoist priest has spoken, why don't he just do some calculations here to see who will be destined to be the emperor?"

"Hahaha...you all think too highly of me."

"How can a mortal like me, the old Taoist priest, predict the fate of the Purple Star Lord?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head, sat down and said no more.

His mission has been completed, and it depends on the performance of others.
