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

Chapter 695: Suzaku Heavenly Ranking
"The general trend of the world is that if it has been divided for a long time, it must be united, and if it has been united for a long time, it must be divided."

"If there is no one to succeed the Suzaku Dynasty, then establishing a new dynasty is indeed a good idea."

The person who spoke was Hua Zhenzhen, the current leader of the Taihua Sect, who was less than thirty years old.

"If we just want to rebuild a new dynasty, we will inevitably encounter many difficulties. Can we, the Jianghu people, really solve them?"

After a fire caused by the evil dragon, the imperial palace and the capital were destroyed.

A large number of royal descendants living in the palace and central government officials living in the capital city also died, and only a handful of them survived.

The impact of all this is more than just heavy casualties.

The disappearance of the imperial central government caused the governing ability of local officials to begin to deteriorate, and the lives of the people in the county were also greatly impacted.

Of course, this is not the biggest problem.

The biggest problem is that there are ten generals in the dynasty who are not in the central government, but are stationed in various counties and borders with their troops.

Each of these generals had soldiers and horses, ranging from 10,000 to 50,000.

Even in normal times, the emperor would worry about whether they would raise their own troops and rebel, let alone now that the Suzaku royal family has completely declined?
It can be imagined that these warlords may declare themselves kings at any time.

What’s even more terrifying is that not every general has money and food.

In the past, officials in the imperial court issued imperial decrees to allocate money and grain within the seven counties, but now that the central government has disappeared, it is very difficult to deliver money and grain to the military camps.

The food and fodder for tens of thousands of soldiers and horses was a huge expense.

It is already quite difficult to get through this month peacefully, but what follows will be very dangerous.

Once soldiers don't have enough food to eat, they are likely to become bandits.

The disaster they cause at that time will be a hundred times more terrible than the natural disaster caused by the loss of earth energy several years ago, and the fire set by the evil dragon in the capital more than a month ago!
So no one dares to take this issue lightly.

Even Xuan Zhixuan, one of the Nine Strategies, did not dare to guarantee that he could bring all these troops under his command and eliminate the possible warlord separatism.

"When I came to participate in this conference, instability had already begun to appear in various parts of the county."

"There are more and more bandits, and public security is becoming increasingly chaotic."

"Although those people have not yet caused too much bad influence on the people, this phenomenon has already made government offices all over the country anxious and worried."

The leader of the Guyue Sect frowned and described the situation around his sect in detail. Immediately, the others also sighed in silence, with melancholy on their faces.

It can be seen that this is not the only similar situation.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost right, Xuan Zhixuan suddenly slammed the table and jumped into the middle of the round table.

"My fellow believers!"

"As the leaders just said, what we need to discuss most now is not who to choose as the emperor."

"Warlord separatism, soldiers turning into bandits and harming the people, and the demon dragon that may appear at any time are the biggest problems that the entire Southern Martial Arts World will face!"

"I suggest……"

At this moment, something strange happened, forcibly interrupting Xuan Zhixuan's words.

Suddenly, a strong breeze blew at the top of Wuji Mountain, and clouds surged and mist rolled.

Then holy light paved the way, divine music sounded in the ears, and golden rain fell from the sky.

A phantom of Vermilion Bird flew through the sky, crossed the ocean, and roamed the blue sky. It came with wings riding the wind, flames on its body, and the Heavenly List in its mouth!

"what's the situation?!"

"This is……"

"A strange phenomenon descended from the sky!"

"It's the phantom of the Vermillion Bird! This must be the spirit of the Vermillion Bird appearing to give us instructions!"

"Could it be that the Suzaku Dynasty has not yet been extinguished and still has a destiny?!"

The leaders of all the major sects opened their eyes wide, unable to believe their eyes.

Many people thought they were dreaming, and reached out to pinch their thighs hard. When they felt the pain, they realized that everything they saw was real, and they started screaming.

But on Wuji Mountain, more martial artists were looking up with their heads slightly open, staring blankly at the strange sight above their heads, their hearts already so shocked that they couldn't utter a word.

In a moment, Suzaku spat out the Heavenly List in his mouth, and let out a loud, high-pitched cry that resounded through the sky.

The Heavenly List flew out dozens of feet in response, hovered in the air, and slowly expanded.

All the heroes present held their breath and stared at the Heavenly Ranking, not daring to make any sound for fear of disrupting the guidance of the Vermillion Bird spirit's descent.

After the Heavenly Ranking was completely opened, golden light continued to flow, and gradually condensed into six prophecies on the blank scroll: the devil dragon will bring down the fire of karma, and the Vermillion Bird will rise up to fight.

The dynasty ended, and the rivers and lakes regained their autonomy

Seven Warriors Slay the Dragon Day, when the world is at peace

Just thirty words stayed in the air for a full minute.

After everyone had seen and understood the words on it, the golden light slowly dissipated, and then the Heavenly List was put away. The phantom of the Vermillion Bird flapped its wings, picked up the Heavenly List, and rushed into the clouds, disappearing without a trace.

It was not until this time that the martial arts heroes finally woke up from the strange atmosphere just now.

"call……"

"What an amazing sight!"

“Is this really the guidance of God?”

"But the prophecy revealed by the Heavenly Ranking just now seems..."

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to say a word.

The meaning of the six prophecies on the Heavenly List can be said to be quite concise and clear.

The first two sentences, 'The evil dragon brings down the fire of karma, and the Vermillion Bird takes up arms', describe the current situation.

The evil dragon from another world set a fire and destroyed the Suzaku royal bloodline. Since then, there has been constant war in the Suzaku Dynasty.

The two sentences in the middle, 'The dynasty ends here, and the world of martial arts regains its autonomy', should correspond to the subsequent changes in the Southern Martial Arts World.

In other words, the Suzaku Dynasty, which had lasted for more than a hundred years, would cease to exist, and the Southern Martial Arts World would return to the era before the establishment of the Suzaku Dynasty, when each martial arts sect managed their own territories.

As for the last sentence 'On the day when the Seven Warriors slay the dragon, the world will be at peace', it is obviously instructing how to get rid of the disaster caused by the evil dragon.

Gather seven weapons, eradicate the dragon, and put an end to this turmoil.

After a long time.

Xuan Zhixuan broke the silence and said, "My fellow Taoists, what do you think of what the Vermillion Bird Heavenly Ranking just showed?"

"What Suzaku Heavenly Ranking?!"

"Master Xuan Zhixuan, you have always been very clear-headed in dealing with people and things, why are you so confused this time?"

"I think the phantom of the Vermillion Bird just now was just a trick of a quack to attract attention!"

Before the leaders of several major sects could open their mouths, an ungrateful fellow jumped out from the crowd and started pointing fingers at the strange phenomenon of the 'Suzaku Granting the Heavenly Ranking' just now.

However, as soon as this person said two sentences, he was immediately met with a lot of ridicule and sarcasm from people in the underworld.

"There are so many masters here, all of them are veterans who have experienced the ups and downs of the martial arts world. They all said that this was the manifestation of the Vermillion Bird. How come you are the only one with sharp eyesight who saw that it was a trick of a martial arts sorcerer?"

"Tell me, which quack has this ability?"

"Ah... no... this..."

Passerby A was immediately speechless and overwhelmed with shame. He covered his face and shrank back into the crowd.

"The Southern Martial World has always respected the Vermillion Bird. Now that the Vermillion Bird has appeared and given us a message..."

"I think we should publicize the contents of the Heavenly Ranking and follow its instructions!"

"What the gang leader said is very true, and I strongly agree with it!"

"The appearance of the Vermillion Bird is rare in the past. Since it has opened the Heavenly Ranking, it indicates that the times have changed. We cannot go against the will of heaven..."

For a moment, the leaders of all major sects spoke out in agreement.

Although most of the people in the Southern Wushu World have not studied much about magic, as warriors, after they have practiced to a certain level, they will naturally master a set of methods to sense Qi.

The sacred aura emanating from the Vermillion Bird's spirit when it appeared just now cannot be simulated by ordinary techniques.

That's why they firmly believe that 'Suzaku's Heavenly List brings revelations'.

Of course, what is more important is that the guidance given by the Heavenly Ranking, 'The dynasty ends from now on, and the martial arts world will regain autonomy', is in line with the expectations of most martial arts sects.

As long as they believe that this is a revelation from the Vermillion Bird, they will feel like they have the emperor's sword and the authority granted by God.

In the future, each sect will be able to legitimately enclose territory and expand, and perhaps even use this method to trick those soldiers who are about to turn into bandits and cause chaos in various places into becoming their own people.

This not only solves the problem, but also makes yourself stronger.

Kill two birds with one stone!
