Chapter 212 The Wuchang Plan, the Establishment of the Righteous Alliance
The actions of the Free and Unfettered Sect ultimately aroused dissatisfaction among many forces.
In the Central Continent Dynasty, representatives of numerous forces gathered at the imperial palace to discuss how to divide the western region left behind by the World Association.
The Xiaoyao Sect had also received an invitation from the Central Continent Dynasty, but Lu Yao simply ignored it.
The Central Continent Dynasty is the nominal ruler of the Divine Continent, and its emperor is known as the Supreme Martial Arts Master, who can command all heroes under heaven.
Unfortunately, the Central Continent Dynasty's strength has been declining, and now it can only control the central region of Shenzhou, its power is far less than before.
In the imperial city of Zhongzhou, a grand hall was filled with the presence of a martial arts master dressed in a dragon robe, who was receiving representatives from various factions during a banquet.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Alliance is on the verge of collapse. We still need Your Majesty to lead us in maintaining stability in the western part of China."
After several rounds of drinks, a representative of a martial arts faction spoke up.
Jianghu forces generally refer to the Yellow Emperor of the Central Continent Dynasty as the Supreme Being, in order to demonstrate their independence.
“That’s right, the cities of the World Alliance can’t function without management.”
……
Many martial arts factions have long coveted the territory of the World Society, but they lament that they are not strong enough to provoke the Xiaoyao Sect.
But if someone takes the lead, they don't mind following along and getting a piece of meat.
"The leader of the World Society, Xiong Ba, was also a man of great talent and ambition. It is a pity that he died at the hands of a mysterious person. I feel deeply sorry that I was unable to share a drink with him while he was alive. Now that his forces have been slaughtered, how can I turn a blind eye?"
Emperor Wuchang put down his wine cup and said with a serious expression.
The people in the hall looked at each other in disbelief. They couldn't believe that the emperor was so shameless. He was just after the World Society's territory, yet he spoke so grandly.
"Supreme Benevolence and Righteousness!"
Everyone inwardly complained, but outwardly they all showed admiration.
"But the Xiaoyao Sect neither heeds the Supreme's orders nor heeds our advice. They only care about the cities and territories of the World Alliance. What should we do with them?"
The people from the Xia Wang Mansion stood up, cupped their hands, and asked the Emperor of Wuchang.
Everyone coveted the territory and cities left behind by the World Alliance, and at this moment they all looked towards Emperor Wuchang on the high platform.
"The Xiaoyao Sect is quite powerful. I'm afraid I can't suppress this hungry wolf on my own. I'll write a letter explaining its strength, and I think that will make it restrain itself a bit."
Emperor Wuchang's expression hardened slightly, but he also intended to take this opportunity to control the western region.
The Central Continent Dynasty is currently too weak to suppress the Free and Unfettered Sect, so Emperor Wuchang plans to form an alliance with many forces to force the Free and Unfettered Sect to cede the territory of the World Society.
As the nominal leader of China, once the alliance is established, who else could be the leader besides him?
Thinking of this, Emperor Wuchang felt a little excited, because if the plan was well-planned, the power of the dynasty would undergo a tremendous change.
These forces may not be as powerful as the Sword Sect and the Peerless City, but they still have one or two grandmasters, and together they form a formidable force.
"The Free and Unfettered Sect is formidable. According to intelligence, it has more than a dozen Grandmaster-level experts on the surface. I intend to establish an alliance to jointly deal with the Free and Unfettered Sect. What do you all think?"
The Emperor of Wuchang looked at the people in the hall and said with a smile.
"Your Excellency is right. The Free and Unfettered Sect is coming on strong, and we must unite!"
Pro-dynasty forces immediately voiced their support for Emperor Wuchang.
Representatives of some powerful forces looked at each other, unsure whether to agree or not.
Those who were able to attend this banquet were all high-ranking members of various factions and had certain authority.
However, forming an alliance is no small matter and cannot be easily agreed to; it requires the approval of the leaders of each faction.
"You may all return and discuss this further. I will await your good news in the palace. However, the Xiaoyao Sect is moving swiftly. If we delay any longer, they may dominate the northern and western regions of the Divine Continent."
Emperor Wuchang smiled faintly, knowing that few of those present could actually make the decision.
His goal was simply to get these people to relay his message back. It's likely that the leaders of the various factions weren't stupid and could see the threat posed by the Free and Unfettered Sect.
If the Xiaoyao Sect is allowed to occupy the north and west, monopolizing half of the land in Shenzhou, their future will likely be difficult.
……
Within just a few days, the alliance between the various forces was agreed upon by many of them.
The alliance is called the Righteous Alliance, and its leader is none other than the supreme martial arts emperor, Wuchang. In name, it is to lead the righteous path and protect the interests of many martial arts forces.
In reality, it was to deal with the Free and Unfettered Sect and prevent them from becoming too powerful.
After its establishment, the Righteous Alliance rapidly expanded its strength, mainly composed of the Iron King's Mansion in the south of Shenzhou and the Imperial Dynasty in the central region, with the addition of various other small and medium-sized forces. It had more than twenty Grandmaster-level experts alone, and its strength immediately surpassed that of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
The Righteous Alliance quickly took action, first condemning the Free and Unfettered Sect in the martial arts world, and then sending people to the Free and Unfettered Sect's headquarters.
After occupying Wushuang City, the Xiaoyao Sect built a temporary palace there.
Lu Yao usually cultivates here. With the dragon vein in his possession, Lu Yao's strength is slowly increasing, but he just needs to cultivate on his own.
"Master, the Righteous Alliance is very powerful. How should we deal with it?"
Yang Guo took the letter from the Righteous Alliance and went to Lu Yao to inquire about it.
Lu Yao frowned slightly, took the letter from the Righteous Alliance, and began to read it.
This letter is different from the one sent by the Emperor of Wuchang last time; this time it was sent in the capacity of the leader of the Righteous Alliance.
In the letter, the Emperor of Wuchang used both threats and inducements, clearly indicating that the power of the alliance gave him great confidence, and his tone was completely different from the last time.
"Heh, they actually want me to hand over the cities I've occupied and apologize? They must be out of their minds."
Lu Yao scoffed. Where did this Emperor of Wuchang get his confidence? A mere twenty-odd grandmasters? How laughable.
"Don't bother."
A flash of fire appeared in Lu Yao's hand, and the letter turned to ashes and fell to the ground.
"The disciple understands."
Yang Guo nodded. Since his master said there was no need to worry, then there was no need to be concerned.
……
The reaction of the Xiaoyao Sect was within Emperor Wuchang's expectations, because it was originally his design.
No one could accept the demands in his letter; it wasn't just about resources and territory, but also about the face of a powerful force.
If Lu Yao accepts the demands in his letter, the Xiaoyao Sect will become a laughing stock throughout the entire land.
Emperor Wuchang's goal was to incite conflict between the Righteous Alliance and the Free and Unfettered Sect. Only in this way could he openly command the grandmasters and experts within the alliance.
Otherwise, without conflict, who would listen to him as the leader of the alliance, since it's just a loose alliance?
Only with a united enemy can the Righteous Alliance unleash its full power.
After carefully crafting the attitude of the Free and Unfettered Sect and informing the various forces within the alliance, Emperor Wuchang finally achieved his goal.
