The news of Chu Lingxu's victory over Peng Feilian in the first battle quickly spread throughout the rivers and lakes, and caused an uproar in the martial arts world.
A little-known swordsman actually defeated a master who had grown up for decades, and he was also a master who had the opportunity to challenge "Heaven's Jue". For the Jianghu of the Shenwu Continent, there has been no real battle in the past hundred years. In the sense of a peerless battle, Chu Lingxu's victory over Peng Feilian immediately became the talk of all the people after dinner.
Chu Lingxu's worth After this battle, he immediately became a figure like a generation of masters in the arena. At the same time, the entire Kunwu faction was valued by people. After the rebuilding of the Kunwu Sect and the enrollment of the Kunwu Academy, there was another frenzy of investment in martial arts. In the Kunwu Mountain City under the Kunwu Mountain, the number of Chinese gathered here exceeded 500,000.
Lu Botong was very busy, and so was Ji Guanglan who was hiding behind him. The former was in charge of construction, while the latter was in charge of logistics. Of the more than half a million people who came here, most of them came for Kunwu College, but Kunwu College The number of people admitted is limited, and the redundant staff waits for the next enrollment, and idles around on weekdays, which is tantamount to ambush hidden dangers to public security.
After a discussion, everyone immediately set up a meeting place here, named "Chongxiaolou", which means "young people will soar to the sky from here". The missions are posted here and the bonuses are arranged, so the earliest mercenary organization of the different world version appeared. The task of protecting the Chinese settlements in the lost eight counties. These Chinese warriors were scattered to the back two counties of the lost eight counties.
Warriors who complete the task, in addition to receiving monetary rewards, can also get a record of goodwill from Kunwu Academy. In the future, Kunwu Academy will expand its enrollment and can be given priority in admission, and the record of completing tasks before will also be directly converted into contribution credits. In order to assess the level in the academy and exchange for the corresponding martial arts.
In the face of the expansion of Chinese power, the power of Tan people has completely withdrawn from the northernmost Liyang County, which is the county where Nanlong Villa and Yunlan Township are located. The existence of the people is also ordinary people, completely naturalized under the rule of the Chinese.
As for Shilin County where Kunwu Mountain is located, most of the counties and counties have now returned to the hands of the Chinese, at least the Chinese have regained the ruling power, and only Shilin County is left in the entire Shilin County, which is completely under the control of the Tan people. Under the rule, life is also precarious, always on guard against the large-scale attacks of the Chinese people, and adopted more high-pressure measures against the Chinese people in the city, which aroused the resistance of the Chinese people, and most of the Chinese people left After leaving Shilin County City, he hoped day and night that the Chinese martial arts would take action and seize the dominance of Shilin County City.
Originally, the warriors of the Chinese race had the same idea, but at the beginning, they put their hope of recovering the lost eight counties on the imperial court. Unfortunately, the imperial court has been entangled in various incidents recently. Now the three major cults are rebelling, especially the Motianling side. The rebellion made it even more apparent that the strength of the imperial court was stretched, so under the premise that the internal troubles were not eliminated, the desire to regain lost ground became out of reach again.
This was originally a matter that greatly damaged the morale of the nation, but now a new turning point has appeared because of the rise of the Kunwu faction.
The Kunwu faction has transformed itself. It is not only a newly rising sect force, but also gradually became the spokesperson for the Chinese people to uphold justice in the lost eight counties. , has almost become the guardian and defender in the minds of all the Chinese in the Lost Eight Counties.
With Ji Guanglan behind the scenes, the Kunwu faction also acted as a defender of the nation in a timely manner. In order to stand up for the Chinese people, it was inevitable to fight against Tan warriors. A number of attack missions against Tan warriors were released at the gathering place, and a large number of excited Chinese warriors went to fight and complete the missions in exchange for money or credits. The purpose was nothing more than to enter Kunwu Academy to study The high-level martial arts in the scripture building.
With the stimulation of Kunwu Academy's move, these passionate young people from all corners of the country in Kunwu Mountain City are so excited that their eyes are red, and they are staring at the tasks released in "Sky Tower" every day.
Since there are also tasks such as maintaining law and order and arresting fugitives, the law and order in the areas controlled by the Chinese in the eight lost counties have been significantly improved, and even several unrighteous bandit lairs have been pulled out. Under the fatigue attack of this group of young people, the forces are completely exhausted and beaten everywhere. Many forces of the Tan tribe have begun to retreat. They really can't stand the tired offensive of these young Chinese warriors day and night.
But where there is conflict, there must be sacrifice.
Although these young fighters of the Chinese race are full of blood, but there are not many masters among them, and they also suffered extremely heavy casualties under the attack of the masters of the Tan race.
Young blood is not shed in vain.
After Chu Lingxu defeated Peng Feilian and established a great reputation among the Chinese martial arts, Ji Guanglan judged the situation and set the next attack target on these Tan people.
In the Chinese martial arts, because of the victory over Peng Feilian, there will be no more powerful masters to challenge the Kunwu faction in a short time. Chu Lingxu has already established the title of "peerless master" in the Chinese martial arts.
And under this name, if you want to raise the reputation of the Kunwu faction to a higher level, you must not only defeat a more powerful master, but also defeat a master who is hated by the whole world, and win over the overwhelming majority of the people. support and goodwill, and nationalism is the best way to win the support of the entire nation.
In Ji Guanglan's view, adding a "national hero" footnote to Chu Lingxu's name will undoubtedly push Chu Lingxu's image to a brighter front, not only to win the core public opinion within the Chinese people, but also to The title of "national hero" can be used to prevent some masters who care about their image from challenging, because challenging a "national hero" will undoubtedly tarnish their own glorious image.
Under this idea of killing multiple birds with one stone, Ji Guanglan started to take action. The missions released several times in the "Chongxiao Tower" were all to arouse the aggressiveness of Tan warriors. Apart from earning prestige, Chu Lingxu also wanted to win the entire Shilin County, especially the city of Shilin County.
And sure enough, as expected, the Tan masters who were used to being arrogant in the Lost Eight Counties finally couldn't bear the harassment of the Chinese warriors. A counterattack against the Chinese warriors began with the mobilization of many Tan masters up. And Ji Guanglan, who had been scheming for a long time, had already grasped the other party's movements clearly, and the Chinese masters who had secretly ambushed made a big round of the counterattack Tan tribe warriors, and directly eliminated 300 Houtian masters , and even used three generals from the "Seven Seizing Beasts" to kill a natural master of the Tan clan cleanly.
This is almost equal to the official war between the Hua and Tan tribes.
Faced with the increasing strength of the Chinese people, and also stimulated by Ji Guanglan's various means, the people of the Tan people cleverly chose the way of expert duels to decide the ownership of Shilin County. As the number one expert in the Lost Eight Counties, Chu Lingxu naturally became the candidate chosen by the Chinese side.
After some calculations and momentum, Ji Guanglan proudly pushed Chu Lingxu to such a glorious and positive position. As for Chu Lingxu himself, he didn't care what Ji Guanglan had in mind at all. He only chose to do what he thought was right. It is undoubtedly an extremely correct choice to regain the lost land for the Chinese people.
Since the Tan tribe is not a unified regime, although there is also the highest-ranking patriarch, the people below are completely tribal-like factions.
Therefore, the last martial arts master hired by the Tan clan in Shilin County was only at the innate peak level, not any of the seven Guixu masters of the Tan clan.
This is also the result that Ji Guanglan predicted a long time ago after several calculations.
Perhaps after Chu Lingxu killed this person, there would be real "returning to the void" masters within the Tan clan to challenge them in retaliation, but at the beginning, they definitely couldn't hire such a powerful master.
Sure enough, in the end, the master of the Tan tribe in Shilin County was only the number one master of the Tan tribe in Shilin County, "Fire Knife" Simpra.
Simpla is a tall, thin Tan man with a bearded face, his face is invisible, and a turban is wrapped around his head, making the whole figure look like a pumpkin supported by a mop.
Simpla's weapon is the most common small round shield and machete of the Tan people. It's just that his round shield is more distinctive, not all defensive. On the edge of the round shield, there are sharp serrations, and whether it is a knife or a shield, there are slender iron chains connected, wrapping around the whole body, opening These two weapons also have a long-range attack method.
The place agreed upon by the two parties was outside the city of Shilin County.
On the city wall in the distance, people from all walks of life of the Tan tribe who came to watch the battle stood full. They couldn't bear the non-stop provocations of the Chinese warriors who came recently. They have been domineering for decades, and they have always been used to the perseverance of the Chinese people, and they have always thought that the perseverance of the Chinese people is nothing more than a kind of cowardice. And today, before this perseverance, they felt the anger behind the Chinese people.
This anger is coming in an overwhelming gesture...
"Fire Knife" Simpra was a little impatient, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, because his opponent, the Chinese swordsman, actually made him wait for an hour under the scorching sun.
This is simply the greatest insult to him.
Standing on the opposite side was a dark crowd, all Chinese warriors who came to watch the ceremony, among which young people accounted for the vast majority, laughing at themselves clamorously. This makes Simpra, who is very proud, even more furious.
