Jiang Helu openly challenged the imperial court. Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Gu Donglai.
This chief of the army of Jiangnan had always been known for his iron blood.
In the past, when he was guarding the northern grassland, one of his troops was ambushed and killed by the cavalry of the Golden Tribe. He led his army deep into the grassland to take revenge and annihilated a team of 100 condor shooters of the Golden Tribe. Only then did he let it go.
Gu Donglai's face showed a smile. It was a very arrogant smile, but everyone could feel that Gu Donglai was very angry, extremely angry!
"Lord of Benevolence Manor? Haha, what do you mean? You are benevolent and righteous, so my Zhou Kingdom will be in darkness? "
As he spat out the last question, Gu Donglai's blood and qi soared into the sky, shocking hundreds of miles away. His momentum made the warriors present feel a chill in their hearts. He was really like a demon!
Jiang Helu sneered and said, "If the Zhou Kingdom is not in darkness, who is?"
As his voice fell, Jiang Helu directly stood up and walked to the arena step by step. His aura also began to change. It was no longer the Divine Palace, but the Primordial Spirit!
Everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't react. Wasn't Jiang Helu unable to break through the Primordial Spirit in this life because of his serious injuries? Then what was going on now?
Standing in the middle of the arena, Jiang Helu said loudly, "The Zhou Kingdom has been in the Central Plains for less than 20 years, but look at what the Zhou Kingdom has done to the whole martial arts world in the Central Plains in these 20 years!
They set up the Heaven, Earth, and Human Lists, provoking the relationship between the martial arts world in the Central Plains, making us fight each other endlessly.
They set up the Six Fan School to supervise the martial arts world in the world. Anyone who disobeys will be exterminated!
And the Human Emperor of the Zhou Kingdom, Ji Haodian, is even more ambitious and militaristic. Even though the Zhou Kingdom has dominated the Central Plains, they have been fighting with the surrounding countries for more than 20 years! "
Jiang Helu stared at the warriors around him and said sternly, "The king lost his deer, and the whole world chased him!
Now, Ji Haodian was already old, and his children only knew how to fight for power and profit. Even the position of Crown Prince was not stable. The dynasty of the Zhou Kingdom was bound to fall in the second generation!
At that time, the dynasties will fight for hegemony, and the martial arts world of the Central Plains will be in turmoil. Where should you all go? "
Jiang Helu raised his arms and said in a loud voice, "A hundred years ago, our Dong Yue Wu dominated Jiangnan, but we did not offend the Wulin of Jiangnan at all. On the contrary, we joined forces with the Wulin of Jiangnan to fight against the enemy.
It is a pity that the Zhou Kingdom was too powerful back then, and my Dong Yue Wu could only hide in the dark. Now that the world is in turmoil, my Dong Yue Wu is preparing to rise up in Jiangnan. Fellow martial artists, if you are willing to join my Dong Yue Wu, there will definitely be a place for you in the future! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. It was as if the entire Jiangnan Society was about to explode. No one had expected such a thing to happen in the end.
The remnants of Dong Yue Wu had not perished, and had instead openly rebelled in the Jiangnan Conference. They had even invited the various powers of the Jiangnan Pugilistic World to join them. This was an earth-shaking matter!
In fact, some of the powers of the Jiangnan Pugilistic World were no strangers to the former Wu Kingdom.
It had only been a hundred years since the founding of Dong Yue Wu. Although it was enough for the younger generation of martial artists to grow for several generations, some of the Connate martial artists who had cooperated with the Wu Kingdom in the past had now grown into sect elders or sect leaders of the Primordial Soul Realm. They had a good impression of the Wu Kingdom.
In the past, the Jiangnan Pugilistic World had indeed cooperated with the Wu Kingdom quite tacitly. The Wu Kingdom also did not offend the Jiangnan Pugilistic World. The purpose of both sides was to unite and dominate the Central Plains. It was just that one's ambition was in the imperial court, and the other's was in Jianghu.
Of course, this did not mean that the former monarch of the Wu Kingdom was really a trustworthy and kind person.
In the beginning, 'Mad Lion' Du Yuansheng founded the Sanxiang Martial Arts Union and led all the strong martial artists in the land of Sanxiang to assist the emperor of the Zhou Kingdom in fighting for hegemony. Didn't the two of them cooperate very happily in the beginning?
But in the end, Du Yuansheng was played by the emperor of the Zhou Kingdom and burned the bridge after crossing the river. Not even his bones were left, and the Sanxiang Martial Arts Union also fell apart.
Although the people of the Wu Kingdom got along well with the Jiangnan Pugilistic World at that time, if the winner of the fight for hegemony in the Central Plains had been the Wu Kingdom, who knew what would have happened to the Jiangnan Pugilistic World?
"I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be those people who were defeated by us decades ago. Tsk tsk, being chased like rats on the street for so long, I'm very curious. Who gave you the courage to show your face now?"
Gu Donglai was not surprised at all. Su Xin's secret report had been handed over to him. Of course, he already knew the identity of the other party.
Jiang Helu said lightly, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. Besides, is it really so glorious for the Zhou Kingdom to win?
In the beginning, Eastern Jin was on fire everywhere. In the north, the Golden Horde Kingdom invaded. In the west, the 36 countries of the Western Region rebelled. The foreign tribes of Western Liang also began to rebel. In the south, our Wu Kingdom revolted. There were leaks in all directions. Ninety-nine percent of the forces of Eastern Jin were tied up by us.
Your Zhou Kingdom was the last to revolt. In the end, when it came to you, Eastern Jin did not have any power to contain you, which led to your Zhou Kingdom invading the hinterland of the Central Plains like crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, swallowing the accumulation of Eastern Jin for hundreds of years.
Otherwise, do you think that a small country like the Zhou Kingdom could become the overlord of the Central Plains today? "
Speaking of this, Jiang Helu's heart was full of resentment. The rise of the Zhou Kingdom was too coincidental, and it was too unfair to them.
Forget about the Golden Horde Kingdom. They did not revolt or resist, but directly invaded. They had been fighting with Eastern Jin for hundreds of years.
However, the other forces had found a good opportunity. They were ready to destroy Eastern Jin directly, and then they would fight for hegemony in the Central Plains. However, they did not expect to be robbed by the Zhou Kingdom halfway.
Gu Donglai said lightly, "The winner takes all. Do you think it's useful to say this now? A defeat is a defeat. Why do you have so many excuses? "
A strange smile appeared on Jiang Helu's face. "You're right. A defeat is a defeat. There's nothing to say. But this time, my Wu Kingdom will not lose again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Helu's eyes swept over the people of the martial arts forces present. "Have you thought about it? Are you ready to join my Wu Kingdom? "
Many of the leaders of the martial arts factions had conflicted expressions on their faces. Although they were also dissatisfied with the Great Zhou Dynasty, openly rebelling would result in death. If they were not careful, their entire clan would be annihilated.
They were willing to follow the Wu Kingdom in the uprising because Eastern Jin was already riddled with holes, to the point that any small state dared to rebel.
But now it was different. The Zhou Kingdom had only been officially established for more than a hundred years, and the history of dominating the Central Plains had only been around for more than 20 years.
Although the current Zhou Kingdom had slightly shown some decline, it was still far from the second generation that Jiang Helu had mentioned. At least as long as Ji Haodian was still alive, the Zhou Kingdom would not be in chaos.
At this time, they did not dare to gamble the lives of their families to follow Jiang Helu in rebellion.
Some people wanted to see the Xiao family's opinion, but then they remembered that the Xiao family had not sent any Primordial Soul Realm experts to participate in this Jiangnan Meeting.
Even Xiao Huang, who had just presided over the Jiangnan Meeting, had disappeared at this time. There were only some servants of the Xiao family and some warriors of the collateral family left. There was not even a direct warrior who could be in charge. This made everyone suddenly curse the Xiao family in their hearts.
It was estimated that the Xiao family had already heard some rumors about today's matter, or even knew the exact situation. That was why it was strange that no warrior of the Primordial Soul Realm had arrived. They were guarding against Jiang Helu forcing them to abdicate.
Looking at the people present, Jiang Helu knew what they were thinking. He could not help but sneer and say, "Everyone, don't hesitate anymore. Do you think you can do it if you don't join?
Jiangnan's Benevolent Righteous Manor has been established in Jiangnan for decades. Everyone here has been friends with me for decades. If I were to rebel, even if you don't follow me, you will still be targeted by the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Moreover, even if the Zhou Kingdom does not touch you, I, Dong Yue Wu, will not tolerate a disloyal martial arts force swaying under our nose! "
After spitting out the last word, Jiang Helu's eyes were full of ruthlessness. He was almost like a different person from his usual appearance of a good old man.
Jiang Helu laughed and said, "Everyone, think about it carefully. When I kill Gu Donglai, if you still haven't made up your mind, then don't blame me for not taking into account our many years of friendship!"
Gu Donglai took a step forward. His figure was in the air, and a long river of blood and qi rushed into the sky, with immeasurable power.
"You want to kill me?" Gu Donglai's face showed a trace of disdain.
Among the many generals of the imperial court, Gu Donglai's strength could definitely be ranked in the top five. Moreover, he was an expert ranked 33rd on the Earth List, with the strength of the Harmonious God Realm. Jiang Helu, who was in the Divine Transformation Realm, was simply not enough to deal with him.
The corner of Jiang Helu's mouth revealed a trace of a cold smile, "I am not enough, but what if you add these others?"
As soon as Jiang Helu's voice fell, two seemingly ordinary martial artists walked out from the crowd of people in Benevolence Righteousness Manor. The aura of their bodies rose steadily, unexpectedly not the slightest bit inferior to Gu Donglai. These were actually two Harmonious God Realm martial dao masters!
"You, the remnants of Dong Yue Wu, have accumulated a lot of strength these years. You even have two Harmonious God Realm martial dao masters." Gu Donglai said lightly, but there was a trace of surprise in his tone.
In the secret report given to him by Su Xin, only the remnants of Wu State colluded with the White Lotus Sect, not their specific strength. He really did not expect that the remnants of Wu State, who had been chased by the imperial court of the Zhou Kingdom for dozens of years, could actually quietly produce two Harmonious God Realm martial artists.
"Is it enough now?" Jiang Helu asked.
"Still not enough." Gu Donglai shook his head.
Jiang Helu raised his eyebrows, "In that case, brother Zhuge, you don't need to hide anymore, come out."
As soon as Jiang Helu's voice fell, a martial artist in a white robe jumped down from a tall building and landed on the stage.
Seeing this martial artist appear, everyone present was in an uproar, especially the local martial arts forces of Jiangnan, who looked at Jiang Helu with a horrified gaze.
