Chapter 129: Retreat to Advance
In the early years, the hidden sects never interfered in the affairs of the Martial Arts Association.
Even in their eyes, the martial arts associations in the secular world are nothing but a group of jumping clowns, and they disdain to associate with the members of the martial arts associations.
Decades of development have made the Martial Arts Association increasingly powerful.
When these hidden sects set foot in the secular world again, they actually took the initiative to propose to obey the jurisdiction of the Martial Arts Association.
The condition is that all major sects are eligible to run for branch president or even president!
Ye Yan frowned slightly.
"Are you trying to usurp the throne?"
Jin Ling'er sighed: "The top leaders of the Martial Arts Association have their own considerations."
"Once the hidden sects are incorporated into the Martial Arts Association, the overall strength of the Great Xia Martial Arts world will definitely rise to a new level!"
"But for the civilian warriors in the secular world, this is almost a disaster."
Ye Yan frowned even more tightly.
"The mouse is short-sighted!"
What is the Martial Arts Association?
It is a constraint on the warriors of Daxia, and a sword hanging over the warriors' heads!
Xia uses force to disrupt the ban.
If there is no supervision from the Martial Arts Association, those powerful warriors who regard human life as worthless will sooner or later cause disaster!
And the more powerful the existence, the greater the harm.
The Daxia government continuously promoted and trained civilian warriors to compete with the powerful men from aristocratic families.
Be impartial and enforce the law fairly.
Only then can we finally create a peaceful and stable social environment.
Now that the hidden sects have joined, it has apparently improved the strength of the Martial Arts Association, but it has also broken the balance.
If they are not careful, the Martial Arts Association will become a knife in the hands of hidden sects and aristocratic families!
Fighting for power, using a knife to kill someone!
The news brought by Jin Ling'er made Ye Yan silent for a long time.
Involuntarily, the words that the master repeatedly reminded me of when he came down the mountain emerged in my mind.
Daxia is about to usher in unprecedented changes!
Perhaps the Daxia officials and the top brass of the Martial Arts Association have their own plans for accepting the hidden sect.
For example, in a short period of time, the overall strength of the Daxia martial arts world can be improved.
Another example is to unite the hidden sects and powerful families, and bring all forces together to meet this major change.
Or perhaps, they were deliberately creating a catfish effect to encourage the civilian warriors in the martial arts association to rise up...
But whatever the reason.
This approach is ultimately too hasty and full of hidden dangers.
"Forget it. Just as Qin Zhongmou said, I can't stay out of this matter alone."
"Perhaps the old man had anticipated this day long ago, so..."
After taking a deep breath, Ye Yan casually gave an order.
"Tie Xinwu, be brave and accept the challenge from the Tianwu Sect. I will take care of everything!"
Immediately afterwards, Ye Yan rushed to the Fang family villa to conduct another examination and treatment for Fang Yulong's father.
After the treatment, the old man of the Fang family hosted an afternoon banquet.
More than a dozen powerful figures from the Fang family were all present, but the atmosphere was extremely depressing, with undercurrents surging.
"To be honest, Mr. Ye, the Tianwu Sect has found me again..."
After a few drinks, Mr. Fang finally got to the point.
On the one hand, it was a test of Ye Yan.
On the other hand, it is also a show of loyalty.
Ye Yan glanced at him with a half-smile: "Mr. Fang, you and I are both smart people, there is no need to hide anything."
"With the Luo family here, we're all in this together. If you have anything to say, just speak up!"
Old Master Fang frowned even deeper.
"The price offered by Tianwu Sect is really tempting!"
"The Fang family and the Tianwu Sect each get what they need. The Fang family can also completely replace the Luo family and become the only powerful and aristocratic family in the entire Jiangdong Province, and no one can shake it!"
The smile on Ye Yan's face grew more intense as he looked around.
"Is Mr. Fang testing me on purpose?"
"Indeed, if the Tianwu Sect's conditions hold true, the Luo family, which is severely damaged at this moment, is indeed nothing to be feared."
"It's only a matter of time before the Fang family replaces the Luo family and becomes the representative of the Tianwu Sect in Jiangdong Province."
"But who can be sure that the Fang family won't become the next Luo family? How many people dare to trust the Tianwu Sect, a sect that breaks its promises and can easily butcher its own people?"
After these words were spoken, Mr. Fang frowned and his expression became increasingly solemn.
"Yulong, do you understand?"
Fang Yulong, who was serving on the side, was shocked and nodded repeatedly.
"My grandson understands!"
"The conditions offered by the Tianwu Sect are completely devoid of sincerity and are simply designed to fool fools!"
"If we really replace the Luo family and trample them underfoot, it will only prove that the Tianwu Sect has no regard for old ties, is ruthless, and is willing to sacrifice its own people at any time..."
"If we encounter danger and our Fang family is hurt, I'm afraid we will become the next victim! Just as the Tianwu Sect is cruel to the Luo family, we will never show mercy to the Fang family!"
Mr. Fang nodded and glanced at everyone.
But some people still don't believe this statement.
"The Tianwu Sect didn't kill the Luo family completely! It's just that the Luo family has declined and can't be compared with our Fang family at all."
"Even if the Fang family joined the Tianwu Sect, they only occupied the position they deserved based on their own strength! It's only natural that they could overpower the Luo family!"
"But if we choose the wrong path... the Fang family's century-old foundation will be destroyed in an instant!"
Before Ye Yan could speak, Fang Yulong frowned.
"If this is what the Tianwu Sect is planning, it only means that the Tianwu Sect's conditions are completely insincere and cannot be trusted at all!"
"How will our Fang family and the Luo family get along in the future? As everyone knows, the Luo family has suffered a blow this time and has become extremely resentful of our Fang family. Luo Tongsen is definitely not a magnanimous person."
"When facing a powerful enemy, no one wants someone to stab them in the back, right?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into silence.
"Then what do you think we should do? Are we really going to follow Qin Zhongmou all the way to the end?"
"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Qin family is no match for the Tianwu Sect! Qin Zhongmou can barely protect himself this time, so how could he possibly have the energy to intervene in Jiangdong Province?"
At this time, Mr. Fang looked at Ye Yan again.
"Mr. Ye, you've seen it too! There's no consensus within the Fang family right now!"
"The sudden appearance of the Tianwu Sect has brought us too much pressure!"
"I don't know what Young Master Qin means."
Ye Yan still looked calm.
He didn't believe that Mr. Fang, who was like an old fox, would not be able to suppress the discordant voices within the family.
At this time, the other party was just testing you on purpose.
Ye Yan picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"I understand the concerns in your hearts."
"Young Master Qin's side is not interesting. He really has no time to take care of Jiangdong Province at the moment."
"I'll handle all matters, big or small."
"If the Fang family is willing to help, that would be great. If you have concerns and want to make other choices, I, Ye Yan, will never force you."
In an instant, the voices of doubt around him grew louder and louder.
Are all matters, big or small, handled by Ye Yan?
"Boy, are you sure you can make the decision?"
"Hmph, since Young Master Qin is beyond our reach, don't blame us for being ruthless! A wise bird chooses its own tree to roost in, and our Fang family is merely seeking a way out!"
"I've said it before, Qin Zhongmou is no match for Luo Tianshen! It seems that Jiangdong Province is about to fall into the hands of the Tianwu Sect. We really should make plans early!"
