Chapter 57: End

"Sect Leader, there is movement in Luoyang, and also in Chuan-Shu." In the Jianqi Chongxiao Hall, there were hundreds of elders; these were the results of the Huashan Sect in recent years.

One hundred first-class martial artists—ever since Su Fan became the Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect, the Huashan Sect's strength had almost skyrocketed. The policies issued crazily inspired the inner and outer sect disciples below.

For silver, for martial arts, the outer sect disciples practiced like crazy and completed the tasks issued by the sect like crazy, which naturally also inspired the inner sect disciples.

The competition became more and more intense. Because of the benefits brought back from overseas, the Huashan Sect was no longer short of silver. In this way, various resources were invested in the disciples under the sect.

Naturally, more and more second-class promoted to first-class.

After ten years, under Su Fan's leadership, the Huashan Sect became more and more powerful, and the policy of overseas development also proved Su Fan's foresight.

The silver mines of Iwami Mountain in Fusang were continuously bringing back silver.

Naturally, the entire Huashan Sect was quite convinced of Su Fan.

"Can't help it anymore?"

Hearing the report from the elders below, Su Fan narrowed his eyes. In these years, seeing the Huashan Sect disciples becoming more and more numerous and the territory becoming larger and larger...

... those big sects also couldn't sit still.

Among them, Shaolin was probably the most unstable. After all, it was originally the leader of the righteous path in the martial arts world, but that great battle before almost made Shaolin suffer a great blow. Later, the Huashan Sect's strategy of Luoyang was also beyond their power to manage.

Letting the Huashan Sect successfully exit Guanzhong, it was out of control from then on.

However, in these years, Shaolin had also recovered a certain amount of strength and naturally didn't want the Huashan Sect to continue developing like this.

Regarding this, Su Fan had long been prepared, and in Chuan-Shu, the Emei Sect finally couldn't help it.

As for the Qingcheng Sect, Su Fan didn't look down on it at all; they were truly a group of rotten fish and stinky shrimp.

The Emei Sect's strength was still very powerful. Back then, it was listed as one of the six major sects at the end of the Yuan Dynasty along with the Huashan Sect, and it was second only to Shaolin and Wudang.

It had been very low-key for a hundred years, but it didn't mean their strength was very poor.

According to the investigation of the sect, the Emei Sect's top-tier experts were uncertain, but there were definitely no fewer than twenty first-class experts.

Of course, Su Fan didn't have any wariness.

The Huashan Sect's current strength was even more powerful than the Sun Moon Holy Cult of that year.

Just top-tier experts alone, there were five.

And Feng Qingyang was not a simple top-tier expert; his strength was no worse than Dugu Sheng's of that year.

As for Su Fan, his strength was also among the top-tier, in a very strong side.

"Sect Leader, in the southwest, Ren Woxing was discovered, and it was found that they faintly had signs of attacking Hengshan."

Another elder who presided over southern affairs also stood up and said.

"Hmm! The Demonic Cult has small movements again. This guy Ren Woxing is truly a dog that can't change its habit of eating shit."

Su Fan heard this and frowned, because of his arrival, Ren Woxing still sat in the position of the Sun Moon Holy Cult Leader, but it seemed he hadn't been usurped by Dongfang Bubai.

It was just a pity that the current Sun Moon Holy Cult was not as glorious as it was originally. The third righteous and evil great battle was almost collapsed by the Huashan Sect.

Now it was hiding in the deep mountains of the southwest.

"Sect Leader, do you want me to take people to Hengshan?"

Xiong Qingyuan looked at Su Fan frowning, so he said.

Now Xiong Qingyuan had also broken through to top-tier with Su Fan's help, and his strength was already at the peak of the martial arts world.

"The Hengshan Sect didn't send anyone to congratulate us, we won't move." Su Fan shook his head. Rashly taking people there would also cause dissatisfaction from the Hengshan Sect.

Now the Five Mountains, the other four sects, their strength was also increasing. The Huashan Sect ate meat, but didn't forget to give the other four sects a sip of hot soup.

Especially the Songshan Sect, Su Fan had always used the Songshan Sect to restrain Shaolin, so the support for the Songshan Sect was the greatest.

As for whether it would make the Songshan Sect grow bigger and threaten the Huashan Sect...

Su Fan didn't care at all, because the Huashan Sect's strength was stronger and had the power to absolutely suppress them.

And under Su Fan's means, the Huashan Sect's Sword Sect and Qi Sect no longer existed.

Within the sect, there were three halls: the Transmission Hall, the Law Enforcement Hall, and the Business Hall. The Transmission Hall, as the name suggested, naturally had a place to teach the disciples under the sect martial arts.

The set of master teaching disciples in the Huashan Sect before was abandoned by Su Fan, and he began classroom-style teaching.

The Transmission Hall had special elders who would lecture on martial arts every once in a while, and inner and outer sect disciples could come to listen to the lectures, but they needed to pay a certain number of contribution points.

Of course, basic classrooms didn't need to pay.

Su Fan did this to inspire the disciples under the sect, letting them know that martial arts were not easily obtained.

This change was indeed not bad. With systematic teaching of martial arts, those disciples under the sect had a new understanding of internal energy and the changes in martial arts, and their strength improved faster.

In fact, Shaolin and Wudang had already done this.

The Law Enforcement Hall was a combat hall of the Huashan Sect, punishing disciples who made mistakes internally, and attacking enemies externally.

This was also the hall with the strongest strength in the Huashan Sect, and half of the first-class elders served in the Law Enforcement Hall.

As for the final Business Hall, it was also specifically requested by Su Fan. The people inside could have insufficient strength, but their brains must be smart, and they even absorbed some scholars, merchants, etc.

They served the sect completely.

Without the time bomb of the sword-qi conflict, and with the Huashan Sect rising under Su Fan's leadership, this was faintly no longer a sect.

If it were at the end of a dynasty, the Huashan Sect could absolutely go down the mountain to pull up an army and form a kingdom.

This was really not a joke. Overseas, in Southeast Asia, the Huashan Sect was equivalent to a kingdom.

It was completely a ruler.

Strength gave Su Fan confidence. Even this time, Su Fan felt that the martial arts world was surging with undercurrents, and this enemy was likely not as simple as that one side.

But Su Fan was still not afraid. First of all, even if Shaolin wanted to take action, it would only be in the dark and would never dare to openly take action against the Huashan Sect.

Because in terms of reputation, the Huashan Sect was very good. Under Su Fan's management, the martial arts world all gave a thumbs up when mentioning the Huashan Sect.

In the officialdom, that went without saying. Emperor Zhengde fought a great battle with the Mongols outside the pass, and the Huashan Sect also participated in that battle. From then on, the Huashan Sect also had a connection with the palace.

For a period of time, Su Fan even sent two elders who were good at nourishing the body to the palace to act as Zhengde's "nutritionists."

After Zhengde fell into the water, he saved him, and from then on, the Huashan Sect was also enfeoffed by Zhengde.

And that "accident," Zhengde didn't die, history had changed, and the Huashan Sect also ate a big wave of dividends.

So in any aspect, the Huashan Sect was already above Shaolin, and because they were both Taoist, Wudang would not stand on Shaolin's side.

Therefore, for this battle, Su Fan was very confident.

And when the great battle started, the strength displayed by the Huashan Sect indeed made the entire martial arts world shocked.

The battle of Luoyang was not very fierce, because Shaolin and the Huashan Sect were both restrained, only sending out top-tier experts. Here in the Huashan Sect, there were Feng Qingyang and Su Fan.

Shaolin had four: Dingzhen, Dingyin, Fangzheng, and a mysterious monk.

Sure enough, Shaolin's foundation was still there.

But unfortunately, facing the Huashan Sect, it was still not enough. Feng Qingyang, this martial arts world Sword Saint, occupied three alone. Once the Dugu Nine Swords were released, he killed the three monks until they were defeated.

In dozens of moves, Dingyin died under Feng Qingyang's sword.

In terms of strength, Feng Qingyang was even above Dugu Sheng of that year. After all, these Dugu Nine Swords in this world were indeed not a small bug; Linghu Chong, who had no internal energy, could stab blind several second-class experts with one sword.

Not to mention the Sword Saint who had been silent for decades.

And the strength Su Fan exploded also made Shaolin tremble. Fangzheng of the same generation could only barely hold on under Su Fan's palm; in just dozens of moves, he had already fallen into a disadvantage.

In the end, Dingzhen died to show his ambition, letting Su Fan let Fangzheng go.

"Amitabha, the old monk will let Fangzheng succeed as the Shaolin Abbot, and after that, he will seal the mountain for twenty years."

"I don't know what Sect Leader Su thinks?"

The mysterious monk died, and Dingzhen also wanted to die to apologize. Su Fan finally nodded and said: "Shaolin doesn't need to seal the mountain, as long as you don't provoke our Huashan Sect, we won't deal with your sect."

Su Fan didn't kill them all. After all, Shaolin was still the leader of the righteous path, and once Shaolin was really destroyed, that would be a big deal. I'm afraid the entire martial arts world would be wary of the Huashan Sect and might even unite.

A tiger's head and a snake's tail battle, Shaolin died three top-tier experts, which was considered a complete defeat. In the southwest, Xiong Qingyuan took a top-tier expert, and the two went to Hengshan together. Ren Woxing saw this and ran very fast.

And in Chuan-Shu, although the Emei Sect also fought a great battle, several first-class experts died, so they completely gave up and no longer stopped the Huashan Sect's actions in Chuan-Shu.

Thus, the martial arts world's action against the Huashan Sect completely failed.

The Huashan Sect also became the well-deserved number one sect in the martial arts world. This was completely stepping on Shaolin's shoulders to fly up. ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
