You must know that Ye Dinggong had mentioned before that the three families of Wudang, Baiyun Sword Sect and Murong Villa had already reached an agreement with the imperial court, and at this time, they stood up to compete for the position of alliance leader at the same time, so they naturally wanted to escort the Xuanwu Feihuamen and sweep away the three major rivals of the Emei Sword Sect, the Beggars Gang and the Nangong Family. And these three factions are also well-known gangs in the rivers and lakes, and in an instant, each of them has received the support of more than ten factions, approving their move to compete for the leader of the alliance.

Later, Ye Dinggong asked if there were any gangs that wanted to participate in the competition, and Xu Wushuangtian, the leader of the "Murder Alliance" on the underworld, also responded and immediately won the support of many Green Forest Gangs. In this way, coupled with the Xuanwu Flying Flower Gate, today's total is that eight major gangs are vying for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance.

Seeing that today's "Taihu Lake Stresses Martial Arts" has evolved into this situation, the heroes present are all excited, just waiting to sit and watch this big battle between the big factions. Among them, someone said: "I remember that the previous leader of the martial arts alliance heard that he was appointed by the imperial court, and in the final analysis, it was just a false name, and the various factions in the rivers and lakes didn't take him very seriously, let alone held such a lively martial arts conference." From this point of view, today's 'Taihu Lake Martial Arts' is only a rare event in the martial arts for ten years. Someone else said: "Don't say that the leader of the alliance, even if it is the last Divine Fire Sect that led the heroes, although it has also held a martial arts conference, it is expected by everyone, and the Divine Fire Sect is directly elected by each faction as the leader of the alliance, how can there be a grand occasion of these eight factions competing for the commander today? What is rare to see in ten years, it is clearly rare to see in a hundred years!"

In the midst of everyone's discussions, the abbot of Dafu Linghu Temple and the incense master of White Horse Temple spoke one after another, to draw up the rules for this competition. After some discussion among the major gangs, it was finally decided that the eight gangs would send people to compete in pairs, and the winners and losers would be divided in pairs and twos, so as to be eliminated in accordance with the rules of "eight into four", "four into two", and "two into one"; that is, if they lose one game, they will be eliminated immediately. Each of the factions is allowed to send one person to fight, and they can be replaced at will in the middle, and finally win three consecutive games to stay at the end of the gang, which is naturally the leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts League decided by this "Taihu Lake Martial Arts".

As for the order in which these eight gangs compete with each other, it is determined by the drawing of lots by the notaries present. Therefore, after the recommendation of everyone present, according to the classification of "three visible, one hidden and one gang", two respected martial arts celebrities and a total of ten notaries were selected, in addition to drawing lots to determine the order of the competition, but also shouldering the responsibility of ruling the victory or defeat of both sides of the competition. In order, it is the abbot of Dafu Linghu Temple, the Tingyuan Zen master of the White Horse Temple, the Tianyin Daoist of the Kongtong faction, the Nu Zhenren of the Xuanmiaoguan, the white head of the Huashan faction, the Xu head of the Kunlun faction, the Ji sect leader of the Tianxing Sect, the Feng gang leader of the salt gang, the ink collection of the Qingcheng Mo family and the ancient pavilion master of the Buried Sword Pavilion.

When everything was agreed upon, it was already noon on a sunny day, Ye Dinggong asked the major gangs present to rest for a while, and ordered the sergeants stationed under the Ethereal Peak to bring the lunch that had already been prepared. Since today coincided with the Mid-Autumn Festival, in addition to a simple meal, everyone who came to the meeting also gave an extra mooncake, and many of the gangs did not want to touch the food of Xuanwu Feihuamen, so they only ate some food they brought with them.

After everyone hurriedly had lunch, the competition between the eight gangs officially began. Xuanwu Feihuamen, as the host of this "Taihu Lake Martial Arts", and the initiator of the proposal to elect the leader of the martial arts alliance, naturally wants to participate in this first competition, and the notary draws lots to determine the gang to fight. The abbot of Nashan crumpled the note with the names of each faction into a paper ball, and after shuffling the order, he selected one and read: "The first competition - Xuanwu Feihuamen vs. Wudang Mountain Zhenwuguan." ”

Where the words fell, the entire ethereal peak was silent for a while, and even the first Jingyue on the high platform was also surprised, this was the first competition, how did he meet the Wudang faction known as the Beidou of Mount Tai? And my Central Plains martial arts should also take advantage of this 'Taihu Lake Martial Arts' to bring forth the new and open a new situation. Therefore, Zhenwuguan must also send a new force today, leaving the opportunity to the younger generation. After that, a Wudang lay disciple had stepped out of the pergola, but it was He Zhengfeng, a second-generation disciple of Wudang who had seen him when he faced the Sichuan Shu martial arts the day before yesterday, and the people in the rivers and lakes called "the sword and the sword".

Seeing that Wudang actually sent a second-generation disciple to compete for the position of the leader of the martial arts alliance, everyone present was amazed, and they all talked about it. You must know that the Wudang lineage has been famous all over the world in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and although the current head of the Qing Dao is nearly ninety years old, he is recognized as the top master of the entire martial arts. In addition, the elders of the faction, Yiyun, Yimiao, and several Taoist leaders in a bottle, are also well-known figures in the martial arts, whether it is in terms of seniority or martial arts, it should not be the turn of He Zhengfeng, a second-generation disciple, to compete for the position of alliance leader on behalf of Wudang.

Xian Jingyue on the high platform woke up to the fact that the Wudang faction did this, obviously to deliberately release water to ensure that the Xuanwu Feihuamen could advance smoothly. As a newly established gang on the rivers and lakes, Xuanwu Feihuamen can defeat Wudang, which is known as "Taishan Beidou", if it makes its debut, it is enough to become famous and powerful all over the world. As for the good because the abbot happened to draw the battle from Wudang, it was already arranged, but it was a pity that the son next to him seemed to be fugue and sleeping, otherwise you could ask this little Taoist priest what kind of tricks he used when drawing lots.

First Jingyue naturally didn't want to pick up the ready-made cheap Wudang faction, but fortunately, Ye Dinggong on the side said with a smile: "Brother Jingyue doesn't have to worry, as the so-called soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, and kings against kings, you should recuperate and keep enough strength to deal with Zhu Ruoyu's big trouble." Taking advantage of this opportunity, it just happened to let the other masters of the Xuanwu Feihuamen show their faces in front of the Central Plains Martial Arts. Hearing him say this, Xian Jingyue knew that He Zhengfeng was bound to lose this battle, and couldn't help but look at the ten guards transferred from the palace behind the high platform, and said: "Even if this is the case, our side will be able to meet the battle with masters." If others see through the falsehood, won't they become a laughing stock?"

Ye Dinggong followed his gaze, immediately laughed, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't worry, everything is already under control." It's just that although these ten palace guards are good at martial arts, they are not their own people in the end. Such an opportunity to make a name for himself is, of course, reserved for his own brothers. As he spoke, he raised his voice to the crowd behind him and said, "Senior Brother Xin, it's up to you to take the lead and teach the heroes of the Wudang faction!"

As soon as the words fell, a man with a gold-wire longbow and a gold-lacquered quiver hanging from his waist had already strode out of the ranks, saluted Ye Dinggong, and without saying much, he went straight off the stage and entered. Xian Jingyue saw that it was this person who went to war, and immediately put her mind at ease, it turned out that this "Senior Brother Xin" in Ye Dinggong's mouth was Xin Xuehat, the commander of the former guard of the Governor's Mansion of the pro-army, and he was a master of archery in the army, known as the "Golden Arrow Chasing Stars", even in the entire Captain's Mansion of the pro-army, martial arts were only under Xian Jingyue alone, ranking second among the "Twelve Guards". It's just that because of this person's personality, he is even more silent than Xian Jingyue, so the two have only known each other well and have no dealings.

At that moment, this Xin Tongban came all the way to the venue, untied the golden wire longbow behind him as he walked, and pulled out a golden feather long arrow from the gold-lacquered quiver and put it on the string. He Zhengfeng of the Wudang faction didn't know him, so he clenched his fists and said: "He Zhengfeng, the second-generation disciple of Wudang, ask the name of the hero of Xuanwu Feihuamen." Who knew that Xin Tongban ignored it, and continued to move forward, the bow and arrow in his hand had been stretched to the full string, and the tip of the golden feather long arrow was aimed at He Zhengfeng on the opposite side. When the distance between the two was only eight zhang, as soon as Xin Tongban's right hand to buckle the string was released, the long arrow flew out of the string and went straight to He Zhengfeng's front door.

For a while, Dan saw that the bow was like a full moon and the arrow was like a meteor, and a piercing sound of cutting sounded in the field, which showed the power of this arrow. And the martial arts people from all walks of life who are present today only walk in the rivers and lakes, but they rarely see a master with a bow and arrow as a blade, seeing that Xin Tong's arrow is so prestigious, they are all very interested, and they have widened their eyes, for fear of missing the first battle of today's martial arts competition.
