I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Despite this, no one has thought about the two together.

The Master Jieyou that everyone had seen before usually had a lazy and elegant smile on his face, which was completely different from the stern and cold expression of Master Mo at this moment.

The most crucial thing is that everyone in the world knows that the former is not good at martial arts, and what's more, such an incident has happened that he can't even walk freely. Although it makes everyone sigh at the dangers of the court and feel deeply sad for him...but that's all.

Talented people emerge in every generation, and each of them leads the trend for three to five years.

Outdated figures in the martial arts world are like old wine that has gone bad. They taste sour and astringent. They are of no use other than being thrown into the pile of old papers.

Some well-informed people even heard that he turned a disaster into a blessing, dispelled the suspicion of the young emperor, and allowed him to build the Zhengguansi in order to restore order in the martial arts world. This was a bit ridiculous.

The underworld is the underworld. Since ancient times, it has had nothing to do with the imperial court. If you want to integrate with it and abide by the laws and regulations of the court together with ordinary people, how can you avenge your enemies and live freely and at ease?

Therefore, Master Jieyou just spent money to recruit some followers who had benefited from him in the past, and he did nothing else.

In addition, it is said that when he refused to marry Meng Luo, he had offended his sworn brother Meng Ju of the Wuling Sword Sect. The latter has been sailing in the East China Sea and there has been no news of him since then.

But no matter what, Master Jieyou was once a prominent figure who shone brightly, and everyone was willing to give him this face, on the premise that it would stop here, and from now on, they would keep their distance and not cause any trouble.

But the chief disciple of Pei Jian Sect, Mr. Mo, was different.

He has the support of Jiuyi Sword Sect, Pei Jianzong has always been on good terms with Meng Jianzong, and last time he even became friends with Zhang Jianzong. This combination is equivalent to having three Sword Sect masters standing behind him. He is powerful and has a generous temperament. He is simply the best candidate for the leader of the martial arts world.

The venue of the conference is a natural open platform on the top of a mountain, with an area of ​​at least tens of thousands of square meters. It has a viewing platform and a competition stage, both paved with large pieces of bluestone, which looks very grand.

The so-called "new" martial arts conference was naturally going to be different from the past. When the hour of Chen arrived, three drums sounded, and a group of more than ten people walked onto the viewing platform.

The Wuling Sword Sect and the Jiuyi Sword Sect, who would usually attend, as well as some respected martial arts elders, were all absent. Master Jin of the Baima Sect walked in front as the host, followed closely by a few people sent by the Shangguan Family. Gu Yillong of the Wuxiang Sword Sect, holding his famous sword, followed behind them nonchalantly. The rest were a few still-famous leaders and manor owners.

The person who stood up to preside over the meeting was the Lintong hero Guan Wentian, who was also a very prestigious figure in the martial arts world. He had previously followed the Luochuan hero Lu Fei around, but disappeared after he failed and was killed. But now he showed up.

After a brief speech, he talked about today's business. The content was not much different from what Mr. Mo and Luo Qianhuai had guessed. The gist was that since Meng Ju of the Wuling Sword Sect sailed on the East China Sea, the martial arts world was leaderless and someone was urgently needed to take charge of the situation. The purpose of this meeting was to jointly elect an acting leader and to form a temporary martial arts affairs management committee to lead the martial arts heroes, mediate martial arts disputes, and jointly contribute to the martial arts world before Meng Ju returned.

Guan Wentian was very eloquent and spoke beautifully. Meng Ju's influence in the martial arts world could not be eliminated in a day or two. If he really said that it was a re-election, the rangers would not agree.

But if we use words like agent, temporary, etc., the circuitous approach is completely different. It neither denies the lofty status of Meng Opera, but also achieves its own small goal.

Luo Qianhuai heard the hidden danger and viciousness in these firm words.

"Is there any news about Brother Meng? Could it be that they did something secretly?" she asked in a low voice.

Mr. Mo's expression remained unchanged, he just gently squeezed her hand.

He and her had an agreement that when it was inconvenient to talk, they would use this method instead.

Pinch it three times to show that everything is fine and there is no need to worry.

Luo Qianhuai knew that Meng Ju was most likely safe and sound, so he turned his attention to the platform.

Guan Wentian has already talked about the candidate for the leader: "It would be a waste of time to nominate one by one. I have a better suggestion."

"The leader of the martial arts world must naturally surpass all the other heroes. Looking at the world, except for the four major sword sects, no one else is good enough to convince the public. But there is no news about leader Meng at the moment, Pei Jianzong has always disliked these mundane affairs, and Zhang Jianzong is even more extraordinary and otherworldly, like a dragon that can only be seen from head to tail. In this way, only Wuxiang Jianzong is left. Coincidentally, he also has this intention..."

When Guan Wentian said this, a figure flashed beside him and Gu Yillong was already standing in the center of the ring.

"I am here, and I am willing to serve as the acting leader. If you have any objections, feel free to come up and fight!"

The discussions among the crowd below the stage suddenly became heated.

"The Ancient Sword Sect is from Gaotang. What qualifications do they have to be the leader of our Dayu martial arts world?"

"Are you being so arrogant? Are you bullying us because we have no one in Dayu?"

"I thought that the hero Lintong was a gentleman, but I didn't expect that he would let a wolf into the house!"

"Even if we are invincible here, we will never accept a foreigner as our leader!"

Countless people rushed to Master Mo and Luo Qianhuai, clasped their fists and saluted, saying: "We know that we are powerless to fight against the Ancient Sword Sect, but Master Mo has inherited the unique skills of the Pei Sword Sect and has the high hopes of the Dayu martial arts community. He is indeed the best candidate to act as the leader today. I hope you will not hesitate!"

Young Master Mo was not surprised by this situation. He looked up and stared at Gu Yilong on the stage for a moment, then looked away. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by Guan Wentian.

He had been reminded long ago that he had to control the rhythm today. If he allowed this Mr. Mo to take any action, even if he was injured or killed by Gu Yilong, it would affect today's plan, so he had to turn the card first to stop him from speaking.

"I'm afraid everyone has some misunderstandings about the Ancient Sword Sect." He urged his inner strength and said loudly, "In the past ten years or so, the Ancient Sword Sect has indeed been in Gaotang Country, but he is not from Gaotang, but a true Dayu person!"

This piece of news was so explosive that it immediately suppressed everyone's discussions and dissatisfaction, and the huge conference hall became silent.

After a brief silence, there was an even louder and more intense discussion: "The Ancient Sword Sect is actually from Dayu? Is this true?"

"Do you have any evidence? You can't just talk nonsense with your mouth open and closed!"

"But we are from the Wu Xiang Sword Sect, how could we bother to lie for such a small matter?"

"Nothing is trivial in the martial arts world! What's more, he wants to be the leader of our Dayu martial arts world. Anyway, I just don't believe it!"

.........

The surrounding discussions did not escape Gu Yilong's ears. His face was indifferent and he did not move at all. Suddenly, he snorted softly, and a very powerful energy burst out from him to the surroundings.
