Taiping Inn

In the Jianghu, there are new people in every generation, and the old people are replaced by new people.

When the old people hold on to their positions, it is difficult for the new people to stand out. However, every time there is a big chaos, the capable ones will rise and the mediocre ones will fall, and it is time for the new people to stand out.

The first person to stand out this time is Li Xuandu.

When he left Yunjin Mountain, countless rumors spread to the whole Jianghu starting from Wuzhou.

One man and one sword roamed the land of Heshuo, defeated Ning Yi by seizing the sword in the northwest, fought against many people to protect Zhang Xiangye in the change of the imperial capital, saved the loyal and good people alone, destroyed the conspiracy of Zaoge Sect in Beimang County, fought against the old man Zang in Beimang Mountain, saved Qin Xiang in Jinling Mansion, defeated Li Taiyi with the sword of Wangxiantai, persuaded the two sects of the Great Sword Immortal to make peace, and rushed to help Mr. Shen of Taiping Sect.

In a short time, Li Xuandu's reputation in the martial arts world reached its peak. He was no longer the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal who was praised and criticized, nor was he a fledgling martial arts hero, but a giant who had just begun to show his potential.

This was to build momentum, to build momentum for Li Xuandu to take over the Taiping Sect.

In the dispute between civil and military officials in the temple, the pen was in the hands of civil officials, so the reputation of military officials was often damaged.

In the dispute between good and evil in the martial arts world, the right to speak was in the hands of the righteous, and the Zhengyi Sect was the leader of all the righteous sects, and the Great Heavenly Master was the nominal leader of the righteous. Under the instruction of the Great Heavenly Master, most of the martial arts world was praising Li Xuandu's deeds for a while.

Everyone in the martial arts world knew that by chance, this former Purple Mansion Sword Immortal finally entered the hall. He was no longer rolling in the mud, nor standing outside the threshold looking at the magnificence of the hall, but was really going to cross this threshold and become one of the people sitting high in the hall.

This so-called "inside the hall" is the real upper martial arts world. Some people are just one step away, just one threshold away, but this one step away, one threshold away, is a world of difference. Some people are close to power and mistakenly think they have power. Those who are one threshold away are close to power, not really in power. Those who really hold the power are those in the hall. To put it more mysteriously, Li Xuandu has changed from a chess piece to one of the chess players.

There are a number of positions in the hall. When someone comes in, someone has to go out, so the old people stick to their positions. Why can the newcomers stand out? Li Xuandu can get to this point today. There are reasons for him, the reasons for the great master, and more of it is the situation. According to the original trajectory, he will not be able to get to this point for at least twenty years.

Otherwise, why do people say that heroes, tyrants, and traitors emerge in troubled times.

In addition to Li Xuandu, there is another person who stands out. But he is not a person of the right path, but a person of the evil path.

This person's surname is Huangfu, and his given name is Yuxiu.

Among the four immortals, Li Daoxu is naturally the best at taking in disciples. From Situ Xuance to Li Taiyi, none of them are mediocre. Even Lu Yanbing, who is at the bottom, is a first-class prodigy in other sects. The great celestial master Zhang Jingxiu has very few disciples, only Yan Feiqing and a few others, but most of Zhang's children were taught by him, including Zhang Yueshan, Zhang Daishan, Zhang Luanshan, Zhang Feishan and others. Then there is the earth master Xu Wugui. Xu Wugui is not very interested in taking in disciples. Only Shangguan Wan and Zhao Chunxiao have officially established the master-disciple relationship. However, strictly speaking, the Ten Palaces Mingguan can also be regarded as his direct disciples, but there is no master-disciple relationship, and the Ten Palaces Mingguan can also be regarded as bringing skills to the master.

Only Tan Taiyun has never been heard of having disciples and successors.

Huangfu Yuxiu is Tan Taiyun's disciple.

Compared with Li Xuandu, this person's experience is no worse, but because he is a person of evil ways, it is rarely circulated in the world.

Unlike Li Xuandu, this person did not become famous at a young age and then experienced ups and downs. Although he is older than Li Xuandu, in his early years, he was just an unknown little soldier. His original name was not Huangfu Yuxiu, but Huangfu Cheng. When he was still a child, he had met Song Zheng once. At that time, Song Zheng talked a lot with this child and had a very good impression of him, but Huangfu Cheng did not soar to the sky because of this. Song Zheng just gave Huangfu Cheng the word "Yuxiu" and left.

Yuxiu means Zhongling Yuxiu. Song Zheng's original words were: "This place has beautiful mountains and rivers, and it gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which gave birth to a person like you. 'Yu' means to raise, and 'Xiu' means an excellent person. If you are lucky, you will deserve the word 'Yuxiu'." Before leaving, Song Zheng left a "Chongyang Xuan Gong" for him to practice.

Song Zheng didn't want to bring the boy back to Wudao Sect, but he had important things to do at that time. He wanted to come back to accept a disciple in a few years, but he never thought that there would be another Yuxu sword fight in the future. He was defeated by Li Daoxu, and the matter ended in vain.

Although Huangfu Cheng failed to soar to the sky, he was destined to be with Song Zheng. Later, when he was a teenager, his family suffered a great disaster. He was sent out by his loyal old servant at the risk of his life. He was alone in the world. By chance, he became a disciple of Wudao Sect.

At first, he and a group of young boys and girls worshipped an elder in Wudao Sect as their master. After a few months, he was alienated by several brothers and sisters because of his arrogant temperament. The master also didn't like him and only taught him the most basic entry-level skills, but not the advanced methods. Half a year later, Huangfu Cheng was injured by his fellow senior brother during the Wudao Sect's semi-annual exam because he had not learned the advanced skills. In desperation, he used the "Chongyang Xuan Gong" taught to him by Song Zheng and severely injured his senior brother.

Huangfu Cheng knew that he had caused a disaster, so he immediately fled from the martial arts school. In a panic, he entered Wuxu Palace. Wuxu Palace is similar to Bajing Villa. It is the place where Tan Taiyun is in seclusion. Few people come here on weekdays. Huangfu Cheng entered this place by mistake. The disciples of Wudao Sect did not dare to chase him. They also thought that Huangfu Cheng dared to enter the forbidden area without permission, so he would definitely die, so they dispersed.

Huangfu Cheng alarmed Tan Taiyun who was in seclusion. Tan Taiyun wanted to take his life, but found that the young man actually possessed the "Chongyang Xuan Gong". After some inquiries, he learned about the fate of Huangfu Cheng and Song Zheng. At this time, Song Zheng had disappeared. Tan Taiyun was grateful for the friendship of the old friend, so he accepted Huangfu Cheng as a disciple and changed his name to Huangfu Yuxiu.

Huangfu Yuxiu's experience was not as ups and downs as Li Xuandu's, but it was also a bumpy experience. After becoming a disciple of Tan Taiyun, he rose straight up and became a Xiantian realm, and then began to lay a solid foundation in Yuxu realm. Over the years, Tan Taiyun only let him focus on cultivation and did not let him show up in front of outsiders. Not to mention the people of the righteous path, even the people of the Wudao Sect rarely knew about him, so Huangfu Yuxiu never appeared on the Black and White Chart and the Shaoxuan List.

Until this Xijing incident, Huangfu Yuxiu finally came out of retreat, broke through from the Xiantian realm to the ninth floor of the Guizhen realm, and was only half a step away from the Tianren realm. Then he fought with the leader of the Daozhong Sect and successfully reached the Tianren realm. However, at this time, he was already thirty years old and was not within the scope of the Shaoxuan List.

In order to end the Xijing Incident as soon as possible, the Earth Master negotiated peace with Tan Taiyun. On the premise of ensuring that the three major sects of Yin Yang Sect, Zaoge Sect, and Female Sect remained unchanged, he agreed to give up interfering in the Wudao Sect. So Tan Taiyun executed the Right Venerable who secretly turned to the Earth Master, promoted the palace official who rebelled against the Female Sect to the Right Venerable, promoted Song Fuchen to the King of Pojun, and added the surrender of the Seven Killings King, the original Tanlang King, and the Jitian King who was in seclusion, so there were still four kings.

In addition, the Earth Master also agreed to give up the Daozhong Sect, making the two of them the second or third in the five sects in the northwest. Tan Taiyun controlled the Wudao and Daozhong Sects, and the Earth Master Xu Wugui controlled the Yin Yang, Female, and Zaoge Sects. As for the opinions of the Daozhong Sect, no one cared, which was the weak sect without a say.

In this war, the Earth Master did not gain anything, but lost the Daozhong Sect; the Great Heavenly Master lost face and his reputation was greatly damaged; Li Daoxu watched from the sidelines, neither losing nor gaining; the one who really benefited was Tan Taiyun, who came later.

Tan Taiyun appointed his disciple Huangfu Yuxiu as the leader of the Daozhong Sect in the name of the Holy Lord.

Huangfu Yuxiu was only thirty years old, but he was already the leader of a sect. People in the evil ways are not like people in the righteous ways. When fighting for power and profit, they still have to cover a layer of tenderness. With the support of Tan Taiyun, Huangfu Yuxiu has begun to clean up the Daozhong Sect with great efforts, vigorously eliminate dissidents, and gradually show the majesty of the leader.

In this respect, he is one step faster than Li Xuandu. However, considering Li Xuandu's age and the fact that Li Xuandu is about to become the leader of the Taiping Sect, Li Xuandu is still a little faster.

There are rumors in the martial arts world that "Heavenly Blade" Qin Qing intends to let his daughter Qin Su take over the position of the leader of the Forget Love Sect. Many people speculate that if Li Xuandu marries Miss Qin, doesn't it mean that the twelve righteous sects will join forces with the five sects of Liaodong?

In the seventh year of Tianbao, the change in Xijing happened five years after the change in Dijing. After five years, the martial arts world ushered in another huge change.
