Starting from the Greyhound, seventy-two changes.

[The master of the picture killed the purple gold old man and obtained a seventh level of evil spirit]

[The master of the picture suppressed Li Tiansheng and obtained a seventh-level evil spirit]

Chen Ku transformed the Sui Xin Iron Soldiers into a bracelet and put it on his wrist. He glanced at the heads of the more than thirty martial arts associations who were wailing in submission on the land, and glanced at the change diagram in his mind.

Old Man Zijin and Li Tiansheng, the two leaders and founders of the Hongwu Society, were all killed by him taking advantage of this opportunity.

As for those who had thoughts about him and posed a threat to him, Chen Ku could only hide when he was weak, but after he became strong, he must suppress and kill them.

"Little uncle!"

Seeing that the other martial arts leaders were defeated, Qin Fang and the other twelve guardians, after a brief shock, all stepped forward and showed concern for Chen Ku:

"How are you?"

"Are you injured?"

Although they had some understanding of Chen Ku's strength and had seen the fight between Chen Ku and Yang Xi that night, they were still overwhelmed with emotion when they witnessed the situation where one person defeated thirty people.

"I'm fine. Help all the leaders up. Here are some healing pills. Give them some to heal their injuries."

Chen Ku threw out several bottles of healing pills. These were all pills that Kong Xin had made using the flesh and blood of the monsters. He had a bunch of them on him. After throwing the pills to Qin Fang and the others, he specifically reminded them:
"Oh, right, I didn't control my strength at the beginning and accidentally killed the old man Zijin and Li Tiansheng from the Hongwu Association. If there are no other successors in their Hongwu Association, I think they can be completely merged into our Qiulong Martial Association from today."

When Qin Fang and his bodyguards heard this, they all became excited, their faces flushed slightly, and they were very excited.

The Hongwu Association is a large martial arts association in Qiulong Prefecture that is no less large than their Qiulong Association. Its history is even longer than that of the Qiulong Martial Arts Association. It was founded by Elder Zijin forty or fifty years ago. Over the years, it has accumulated a large number of disciples, especially Li Tiansheng and Elder Zijin, two seventh-level masters.

Now, these two pillars have all been suppressed and killed, and what awaits them is undoubtedly a huge amount of power and wealth, ready to be received.

"what?"

Those martial arts association leaders who were screaming and wailing on the ground and then getting up were also shocked by Chen Ku's last words.

Then look at the bodies of Li Tiansheng and Old Man Zijin in the distance.

Surprisingly, he was beaten to death.

Although they all saw that Old Man Zi Jin was ruthless in his attack and was aiming for Chen Ku's life, it seemed that there was nothing to complain about when he was beaten to death by others in that posture.

But the key point is that Li Tiansheng was also beaten to death.

Chen Ku followed closely and said that he wanted the Qiulong Martial Arts Association to take over everything from the Hongwu Association. It was hard for them not to think that this was Chen Ku's original plan. Not only did he want to defeat them to show off his power, but he also wanted to take this opportunity to swallow up several martial arts associations in one fell swoop?
"Masters, please take the medicine quickly. This is the kindness of our president." Qin Fang and his men helped them up and fed them the medicine.

At first, these leaders were worried about whether the pills were poisonous, but thinking that Chen Ku would not resort to such means in front of so many people, they all took them.

The healing elixir from the seventh-level alchemist Kong Xin was very effective. The injuries caused by Chen Ku were healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What kind of medicine is this?"

"What a fast healing speed!"

All of these sect leaders were astounded by the effect of the healing pills provided by Chen Ku.

"Everyone!"

At this time, Chen Ku spoke, his hands hanging naturally, and he walked towards them and said:

"We've fought, and I'm the president of the Qiulong Mansion's Thirty-Six Martial Arts Association, so I think you guys should recognize me."

Everyone looked at Chen Ku with complicated expressions.

His strength far exceeded Qin Yuxian's, and he defeated everyone. The bodies of two seventh-level masters, Old Man Zi Jin and Li Tiansheng, were lying there. Their injuries were only healed by Chen Ku. Who would dare to deny it?

They all lowered their heads silently, and uttered low voices one by one:
"recognize."

Seeing their dejected look, Chen Ku smiled faintly and said, "Don't think that I took the position of the general president simply to enslave you thirty-six major martial arts associations. The fundamental intention of my senior brother Qin Yu to unify the thirty-six major martial arts associations was to make the thirty-six martial arts associations work together. When encountering any problems, they can work together to form a situation of 'Qiulong Wulin Grand Unification'. In other words, it is:
We make money together and shoulder problems together.”

Everyone looked at Chen Ku with some confusion, not understanding what Chen Ku wanted to express. Wouldn’t he enslave them?
"Since you have acknowledged my position as the general president, there is one important thing I can tell you."

Chen Ku said solemnly:
"This matter is a major event concerning the entire dynasty's southwestern border. I have already reported it to the court through relevant personnel, but our folk martial arts community is still unaware of it."

Everyone was whetted by Chen Ku.

"President Chen, what's going on?" asked the person from Mingjiawuming Newspaper.

The Three Emperors' Patriarch, who was able to subdue Baicao, also looked at Chen Ku curiously.

Even the Twelve Guardians were a little curious.

Chen Ku stood in the square. Before he spoke, he deliberately amplified his voice through his true qi and said:

"I saw this news with my own eyes. Right now, on the other side of the Liangjie Mountains on the southwest border of our dynasty, a total of six major sects in the Yuan Kingdom's cultivation world have formed a coalition and are preparing to march south."

boom!
boom!
boom!
This sentence was like a stone that caused a thousand waves, like a bomb of huge yield, exploding in the air. Chen Ku's voice was calm, but the amount of information contained in his words was enough to burst the sky.

"What?" The faces of the people from more than thirty martial arts associations all changed drastically: "The Yuan Kingdom is going to invade us?"

Even from a distance.

Zhao Shenyang in the Martial Temple felt a little dizzy: "This matter? Could it be... the major event that Tan Chongrui came to the Martial Temple a few days ago and wanted to use the Martial Temple to contact the central government was this matter?"

Obviously, Tan Chongrui was very careful. He knew that once this matter broke out, it would have a huge impact on public opinion.

Moreover, he didn't know whether it was true or not, so he had to ensure the secrecy of the matter as soon as possible. He simply passed the matter to the central cabinet through the Wu Temple's special communication channels.

But Chen Ku is different.

Through the conversation with Chen Xin, he could almost ensure that the news was absolutely true. Considering that Chen Xin had completed the task and brought the location of the spiritual vein back to Yuan State, Yuan State would definitely take action within a short period of time after obtaining these specific intelligence locations.

Chen Ku now made the matter clear.

It was not for any other purpose. He simply wanted to use external pressure to unite the current Qiulong Mansion and form a large force centered on him, so that he could use this large force to help him do some things.

For example, searching for the descendants of demons needed for the dragon totem, looking for thunder spirit objects, and selling elixirs to earn profits to open the transformation map.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that the first direction of Yuan State’s attack is not Qiulong Mansion, so it will give Chen Ku a certain amount of time to use this force to grow and develop himself.

In fact, Chen Ku was somewhat sure about this.

Judging from Chen Xin's words and expressions, combined with some of the actual conditions of Qiulong Mansion, a fact was determined, that is...

There are no spiritual veins underground in Qiulong Mansion.

Therefore, if we only consider the goal of Yuan State to seize the spiritual vein resources, Qiulong Mansion should not be their first target, so as to create some time for it to develop.

And it doesn't matter even if he misjudged.

He could also take the forces of the thirty-six martial arts associations and evacuate them all from Qiulong Mansion to Youzhou or even the safer Central Plains. His main purpose was to subdue these people.

It’s easier to get things done when you have talented people.

Not only can they help him market his elixirs and expand his influence in the future, but if he really wants to establish a sect or a large clan in the future, these people will be ready-made manpower.

Rebuilding Huangjue Gate is not only the wish of Qin Yuxian and Shan Lingguan.

Their purpose in integrating the Thirty-Six Martial Associations was to prepare for the future reconstruction of Huangjue Sect, but they never had the foundation to establish a sect with the word "Zong" in its name.

Then at least one master of the tenth realm must be stationed at the mountain gate to be eligible to apply.

Therefore, we had to temporarily use the Qiulong Thirty-Six Martial Arts Competition as a transition.

Now, Chen Ku is taking advantage of the external factor of the Yuan invasion to further strengthen the unity within the Thirty-Six Martial Arts Association.

"President Chen! This kind of thing is no joke!" Ming Chunqiu said nervously, "The Yuan Kingdom is invading, such a big deal..."

"I'm definitely not kidding. This is what I saw when I went to Liangjie Mountain. I told you that I've asked someone to report this to the court. The reason why I had to tell this before the court issued an order is very simple."

Chen Kudao:
"It is to allow everyone to prepare early, whether it is to unite together to defend the land, or to move to a safer place with their families, so that they can act in advance."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the ordinary people in Qiulong Mansion were shocked, and the expressions on their faces showed tension, fear, confusion, and helplessness.

If someone else said these words, they would probably be suppressed by the court immediately.

But now that it came out of the mouth of Chen Ku, who had just displayed his divine power, no one thought that Chen Ku was lying, and no one had the strength to dare to come here and say that Chen Ku was wrong.

After all, if what he said was true, then the early release of this news would undoubtedly be the best chance for ordinary people to survive.

Everyone present, including those at the Thirty-Six Martial Arts Conference, was nervous, their hearts were beating rapidly, and they all felt the same confusion.

What should I do?
As the largest neighboring country, the people of Ji Dynasty were well aware of the power of the Yuan Dynasty.

Once an invasion really comes, not to mention whether the Ji Dynasty army can stop it, their small prefectures and counties will definitely be in turmoil under the chaos of the army. If they are not careful, their factions will be destroyed and their families will be wiped out.

"President Chen, do you have any information about where the Yuan Kingdom attacked from?" someone asked boldly.

Chen Ku shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. Perhaps, we will know soon. Anyway, if you don't know what to do about the next martial arts competition, follow me into the Qiulong Martial Arts Competition's Martial Arts Hall and we'll discuss it in detail."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the Qiulong Martial Arts Association.

The other leaders' faces changed drastically and they hurriedly followed.

However, the people of Qiulong Prefecture in all directions were in great chaos.

And in the prefectural hall of Qiulong Mansion.

The guards of the prefecture immediately reported everything that happened to Chen Ku at the martial arts conference. In fact, as the prefect, Li Lishan was also very concerned about the situation of the thirty-six martial arts associations in the city.

To be honest, he didn't want the Thirty-Six Martial Associations to unite again and form an alliance, as that would pose a subtle threat to his position as prefect.

As a result, after hearing the intelligence from the martial arts conference.

"What? This Chen Ku..."

Li Lishan stood up from behind the table, his face turned blue and his lips trembled:

"He, he is spreading rumors, misleading the people, and shaking the foundation of the country!"

Regardless of whether the Yuan invasion was a real thing or not, since it has not happened yet, the first thing to do is to suppress it and report it to the court.

The people are now in a panic. If we are not careful, there will be a mass exodus.

But after hearing that Chen Ku defeated more than 30 people by himself, Li Lishan's face turned pale. With such strength, the 20,000 new troops of Qiulong Prefecture are now suppressing the rebellion in Baojiao County, and there is no large army in the prefecture city that can put pressure on Chen Ku.

In other words, even though Chen Ku said this, he actually had no way to deal with it.

He gritted his teeth and said:
"The Yuan Kingdom has not invaded yet. This matter is just a rumor. Even if it is true, we have to control the public's emotions, quickly..."

He immediately called someone over and said:
"When posting notices, you must correct people's hearts and stop rumors immediately. At the same time, close the city gates and don't let people leave the city."

This set of procedures took half a day.

however.

What Li Lishan could never have imagined was that just half a day after he posted notices to quell rumors and dispel the Yuan crisis Chen Ku had mentioned...

suddenly.

A ray of light suddenly rose up from the Martial Temple of Qiulong Mansion and shot up into the sky.

At the same time, from all the martial arts temples in Youzhou area, golden light shot up into the sky.

In the prefectural hall.

"That's... a smoke signal!"

Li Lishan stood under the eaves, his skinny body looking at the golden smoke rising into the sky, and said in a lost voice:
"The smoke of war? The martial arts temples of prefectures and counties have lit the smoke of war?!"

The smoke of war.

It is a special way to transmit invasion intelligence through the Temple of Martial Arts.

In the Daji Dynasty, martial temples were found at the provincial, state, prefectural, and county levels. Even in the poorest county, there would be a martial temple.

It is precisely because of the existence of martial temples in every place in the Ji Dynasty that they can naturally establish an extremely fast means of intelligence transmission through the connections between martial temples.

The smoke of martial luck is a beam of light formed by the burning of the martial arts world in the martial arts temple after the martial arts temple has carried out special processing on the martial luck.

This light can be sensed by other martial temples in an instant and release signal smoke at the same time.

At this moment, looking from the ground, one can clearly see that the martial arts smoke was first ignited by a city called 'Huainan Prefecture', and then quickly spread to the entire Youzhou, and even... Longyuan Province.

Smoke of war rose from all directions.

The Yuan Kingdom invaded, just half a day after Chen Ku told everyone the news.

War broke out.

The monks from the Yuan Kingdom sect drove the hall and appeared in Huainan Prefecture. From the hall, an army of one hundred thousand Qigong practitioners flew out and chose to land in Huainan Prefecture.

Huainan Prefecture was captured immediately.

However, Huainan Prefecture also immediately lit the war smoke in the Huainan Prefecture Martial Temple, spreading the news of the Yuan Kingdom's invasion to the entire Ji Kingdom. (End of this chapter)
