Taoist Master Xu Yue said: "It is indeed a bit hasty to hold a martial arts conference now, but if the man in the palace really points the spear at the rivers and lakes, it would be too late to hold a martial arts conference again. What's more, there are the demon sects who are eyeing each other."

Master Huineng said: "Amitabha, since the current emperor ascended the throne, everything he did was cautious. Although the incident happened suddenly this time, with his personality, I don't think he would directly attack the martial arts factions. Moreover, according to the news from Shu, the six gates of the court had conflicts with the Demon Sect. I infer that the possibility of the court watching the wall is greater. If they really want to get involved in this muddy water, it is more likely to be dealing with the Demon Sect with us."

Master Li Gu suddenly frowned and said, "I really agree with the master's opinion, but it is also necessary to convene the martial arts conference. I inferred that the Ludong tragedy some time ago is unlikely to be done by the Demon Cult."

"Master Li Gu, your point of view coincides with me. According to the information sent back, there was no live incident in the Gongsun Family's massacre, and the scene was handled extremely cleanly without leaving any clues. This is not the style of the Demon Sect, but it is like the work of some organizations specializing in assassination and destruction." Master Huineng said. In fact, it was not only him, but almost all the helmsmen of the power who had clearly understood the situation of the Gongsun Family's family's extermination had this idea.

It is not difficult to let ordinary sects destroy the clans. As long as the opponent is much stronger, they can easily do it. However, if you do not leave any clues, it is not something that ordinary forces can do. These people must have undergone special training.

Taoist Master Xu Yue looked at the other two and said, "There are only some killer organizations or Liushemen in the martial arts world. But now the largest killer organization in the Song Dynasty, Zhuxin Pavilion, suffered heavy losses in the last dispute in Shu. Even if Zhuxin Pavilion is intact, it is impossible to destroy the Gongsun family. As for Liushemen, although their strength is stronger than Zhuxin Pavilion, it is also impossible to do so thoroughly."

"Actually, we forgot another force." Li Guzhu said meaningfully.

Master Huineng and Master Xu Yue were both skilled people. The clues were instantly seen from Master Li Gu's expression.

They seemed to understand what Master Li was thinking, but they were not surprised: "You said it was the court?"

Master Li Gu smiled bitterly and said, "Apart from the court, I really can't think of any other force that has the motivation to attack the Gongsun Family. There are many such forces on the Island of Heaven, but they have no motivation to take action."

Speaking of the island outside the sky, Master Li Gu was not as respectful as Master Jingchen and others mentioned this place before, just like he was talking about an ordinary place.

"But if it was the court, it seemed unreasonable. Isn't this the current emperor deliberately trying to provoke disputes? It is inconsistent with our inference just now. Could it be that the current emperor is already ready to attack the martial arts forces, and his so-called assassination is just to confuse the public and give the court an excuse to attack the martial arts forces?" Taoist Master Xuyue inferred. In fact, Taoist Master Xuyue is not satisfied with the current court.

The Song Empire now respects Buddhism. Although it has no suppression, it has no support for Taoism, it has made Wudang lower his head in front of Shaolin. Although Taoist Master Xuyue is also a senior master who is indifferent to fame and fortune, it is absolutely impossible for him to say that there is no grudge against this kind of sect.

However, he was not aimless in his judgment on this matter. No matter from which perspective, the court was indeed the most suspicious party.

Suddenly, Master Li’s eyes flashed with cold light, and he shouted softly: “We seem to have forgotten a huge force.”

"What force?" Master Huineng and Taoist Master Xuyue both looked confused.

Master Li Gu looked at the two of them, pointed to the northwest direction quickly, and said, "The Western Liao Empire."

Master Huineng and his eyes changed, and their faces became solemn in an instant.

In the territory of the Song Empire, due to the weak court, the division of feudals by various princes and the separatist rule of the princes, it was difficult for the entire court to form a joint force, and its influence on the rivers and lakes outside the temple was gradually weakened. Now it has reached a level of uncontrollability, which has also created the grand occasion of the top ten martial arts sects today.

However, this situation is limited to the territory of the Great Song Empire, while the Western Liao Empire, which is northwest of the Great Song Empire, is a different situation.

The Western Liao Empire established a country with martial arts, and the way of martial arts was prosperous. The most important thing was that the court attached great importance to those who practice martial arts. As long as those who practice martial arts were successful, they could basically do a good job.

In the Western Liao Empire, civil and military officials were ministers in the same palace, and the status of military officials was higher than that of civil officials. Therefore, as long as people with real strength were willing to join the court and regard it as a matter of glorifying their ancestors.

It can be said that in the entire Western Liao Empire, the power controlled by the court is even larger than the forces in the martial arts world. This is why, because of the power of the Demon Sect, the Western Liao Empire, dare not be too arrogant, but can only be established as the national religion by the Western Liao Empire. After all, the Western Liao Empire itself is already very powerful, and the entire cooperation between the Demon Sect is a kind of mutual benefit. If it were the Great Song Empire, the Demon Sect would probably want to replace it.

According to their inference just now, the Western Liao Empire is indeed extremely suspicious.

The Western Liao Empire has strength on one hand, but also has motivations.

Because the relationship between the Western Liao Empire and the Song Empire is not very good, and the two sides are constantly in the border area. If they can take the opportunity to provoke conflicts between the court and the forces in the martial arts world, it will undoubtedly be very beneficial to the Western Liao Empire.

Maybe even the assassination of the emperor was also a person sent by the Western Liao Empire.

Thinking of the key points, Master Huineng and Master Xu Yue also changed their faces. If this is the case, then the suffering of all living beings in the world will not be far from happening.

"Master Li Gu, Taoist Master, this matter is quite serious, and I'm afraid it needs to be discussed for a long time." Master Huineng said with a cautious look on his face.

Master Xu Yue said: "Master, it is precisely because this matter is extraordinary that we should speed up the handling. Now rumors are everywhere in the world, and there is a tendency to completely confront the imperial court and the forces in the world. Once the words are said, even if the emperor does not want to attack the martial arts forces, he may have to do it with his teeth."

Master Li Gu said: "This matter is really undesirable. If it is true as we inferred, the Western Liao Empire will never wait for us to deploy a counterattack. In the world, no force can resist the expert team of the Western Liao Empire alone. This time the Gongsun family was destroyed, and the next time it might be the Nangong family, or even one of the top ten sects. This is the other party's purposeful elimination of the martial arts forces in the Great Song Empire. Therefore, it is urgent that we must unite the forces of various sects to deal with the threat of this powerful enemy in the west."

Master Huineng smiled bitterly and said, "Amitabha, Master Li Gu doesn't know anything. In today's martial arts world, it seems that the righteous sects are harmonious and harmonious. But if a martial arts conference is held suddenly, the leader of the martial arts world is elected and the leaders of the martial arts world are in charge of the various sects, I'm afraid there will be no responders. There are too many benefits involved, and many people are short-sighted and think that the threat of the Demon Cult is still far away, let alone the Western Liao Empire, which is hundreds of thousands of miles away."

Master Li Gu and Taoist Xu Yue were silent. Although they didn't want to admit this, this was an unconcealable fact.

The smaller the force, the shorter the eyes of them, and they often can only see their own interests. For example, when a country faces an invasion of an enemy country, the people or small merchants are considering how to protect themselves and ensure that their interests are not damaged. They take it for granted that resisting the invasion of an enemy country should be the business of those in power.

By the same token, whether it is the invasion of the Demon Cult or the Western Liao Empire plotting the Great Song Empire and provoking disputes between the Great Song court and the martial arts forces, it is very far away for the small and medium-sized forces in the martial arts world.

If you really want these people to recognize the alliance between martial arts forces and obey the leadership of the selected leader, you must first let them experience the pain of their skin.

After all, it is because the territory of the Song Empire was too wide.

For example, the Poison Sect and the Wangqing Sect raged in Shu in the past, so they taught a good lesson to the various forces in Shu. They also knew that once Qingcheng and Emei were destroyed, their lives would not be easy, so they actively joined the Battle of Emei. But if the Poison Sect or the Wangqing Sect were active in Yangzhou or even Longxi, these small and medium-sized forces in the martial arts world in Shu would never take any action.

If Master Huineng and others call for a martial arts conference now, there may be only ten major sects or some more righteous sects. The alliance of such a few more than ten forces will have limited impact on the overall situation. To be continued.
