Chapter 597 Earth-Shaking Changes
The Beggars' Sect developed so rapidly that other forces in the underworld were not willing to lag behind.
It can be said that the underworld of the Song Dynasty and Dali three years later had undergone earth-shaking changes.
Let's talk about Shaolin first. Through the use of the Pusqu Snake, it is heard that there are more than 35 first-class masters in the underworld alone, and they are rapidly approaching 50.
The second-rate and third-rate masters below are all in the hundreds!
This is a very powerful force!
Except for the Beggars' Sect, all the underworld forces in the entire Heluo region are trembling under the deterrence of Shaolin.
Even in the fight with local tyrants with government backgrounds, Shaolin's attitude has become more and more tough and its posture has become more and more arrogant.
The time is too short, and Shaolin still has enough respect for the government!
But after a long time, it is hard to say whether Shaolin can maintain this mentality.
After all, Shaolin's own strength is expanding rapidly, and the surrounding forces, including the government, have stopped moving forward, so naturally they cannot get the respect of Shaolin.
The truth in this world, after all, depends on who has the bigger fist!
Obviously, Shaolin's fist has become so big that no one can tell whether the local garrison of the Song Dynasty can suppress it.
That is to say, there is also the Beggar Gang to contain it, otherwise Shaolin really doesn't know how arrogant it will be!
That's it, when Shaolin acts externally, its attitude gradually becomes arrogant!
This is inevitable, and it takes time and environment to slowly adjust.
I heard that Shaolin is looking for treasures that can replace the Pusuqu snake all over the world!
Not only Shaolin is doing this, but other Jianghu forces are doing it!
There is no way, Shaolin's strength is expanding so rapidly, what about the Beggar Gang?
You know, the Beggar Gang controls the Pusuqu Snake Valley, and the fixed quota is one thousand every year, which is more than five times that of Shaolin!
It is hard to imagine how powerful the Beggar Gang has expanded at this time?
I can only say that fortunately the Beggar Gang's headquarters has moved to Xiangyang, and is concentrating on operating the Yangtze River waterway.
Otherwise, if the Beggars' Sect's headquarters is still in Luoyang, conflicts of interest with Shaolin are inevitable.
Shaolin has no confidence in defeating the Beggars' Sect!
The key is that as long as Shaolin continues to rely on the Pusuqu Snake to improve its strength, it will never be able to surpass the Beggars' Sect. There is nothing that can be done about it.
Unless Shaolin is extremely lucky and more than a dozen innate masters appear at once!
Then, regardless of the consequences, they will sneak attack the Beggars' Sect and at least take down the Pusuqu Snake Valley controlled by the Beggars' Sect before they can reverse the situation and surpass it.
Obviously, such a thing is unlikely to happen!
Of course, if the nameless monk who has been hiding in the Sutra Library is willing to take action, the situation may be very different.
Unfortunately, the Shaolin people don't even know that there is such a thing.
Then they can only think of other ways to bypass the Beggars' Sect's control over the Pusuqu Snake.
In fact, the Tianlong World is not short of natural treasures, but few forces have been specifically looking for them in the past.
From time to time, it is said in the martial arts world that someone has found a treasure that can increase their power.
As for whether it is true or not, Jia Huan, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, does not care.
If the leaders of the sub-helms below want to explore, he will not stop them.
In fact, the resources that the Beggars' Sect currently has are enough for them to use for a long time.
Even as long as there is no so-called spiritual energy decline and no major internal strife breaks out within the Beggars' Sect, it can continue to prosper, and it is not impossible for it to become a powerful force at the national level.
Therefore, facing the Shaolin, whose strength has also increased dramatically, it can sit on the Diaoyutai!
Another force that has obtained a large share of the Pusqu Snake, the Gusu Murong Clan, has completely deployed its power to Xixia and is rapidly infiltrating the Western Regions.
Murong Fu has become the apparent head of the Yipintang, and he has a lot of power in his hands.
After the tacit cooperation of the Xixia Beggars' Sect, those who are qualified and powerful to oppose him have died unexpectedly.
Even if Li Qiushui, who is hiding behind the scenes, has some doubts, it is not easy to act rashly before Murong Fu makes obvious rebellious moves.
After all, Yipintang is a large organization, and its facade and leader cannot be changed at will.
It is not clear whether Murong Fu's cultivation has reached the innate level?
However, the last two of his four generals, Bao Bu Tong and Feng Bo'e, have successfully entered the first-class level of the martial arts world and are currently shining in the Western Regions.
The disadvantage of family-style martial arts forces is that they suppress their subordinates too much.
There is obviously an opportunity to cultivate more first-class martial arts masters, but neither Murong Fu nor the four generals have a strong desire to do so.
On the contrary, dozens or even hundreds of second- and third-rate martial arts masters have been cultivated in one go.
With the help of the martial arts scums recruited by Murong Fu in private, as well as some horse bandits and the like, they can run rampant in the Western Regions. Their strength is indeed sufficient.
How to say it, the situation in the Western Regions is also a mess!
The Black-clad Arabs, who could compete with the Tang Dynasty for the dominance of the Western Regions, have also declined greatly.
It can be said that there is a power vacuum there now!
The Murong family was doing well in the Western Regions, so they were naturally unwilling to return to the Song Dynasty.
As long as the Beggars' Sect remained strong, Murong Fu had no confidence in making any trouble in the Song Dynasty.
There was no way, the gap in strength was too big.
Let alone, the Xixia Beggars' Gang branch, which has always cooperated, has four top-notch masters in charge. It is not easy for Murong Fu to kill them.
Jia Huan is not very clear about more information about Murong Fu!
This guy has become a little bit powerful at this time, and even began to consciously hide his existence.
He is a smart man!
Sure enough, once Murong Fu is placed in the right place, his growth rate is definitely not exaggerated.
I just don't know what Murong Bo is like at this time?
With four generals tipping off, I don't believe he doesn't know Murong Fu's ambitions.
But I have never heard that Murong Fu has a particularly powerful master to help him.
That can only mean that Murong Bo did not show up directly to help Murong Fu seize the territory of the Western Region.
What a fool!
He puts all his mind on the prosperous Central Plains, and doesn't think about how difficult it is here?
It can only be said that Murong Bo and Murong Fu have different minds, and there will inevitably be conflicts of ideas in the future.
I just wonder if Murong Bo will use force to educate his only son Murong Fu when he can't convince people with reason?
Very likely, Jia Huan said with some expectation.
And three years is enough for the strength of the Dali royal family to improve dramatically.
After all, it is a royal family of a country, and its actions are quite generous and domineering. The number of newly emerged first-class masters in the world has actually approached hundreds.
