Martial Prohibition Hall Disbanded (Part One)
Since the news of Lu Tianheng's impending execution spread, the feelings of the Grandmaster and Deputy Commanders of the Martial Prohibition Hall in Mo Province have varied greatly.
In fact, ever since the news of Lu Tianheng's arrest spread, the Grandmaster of the Martial Prohibition Hall have clearly divided into several factions.
When it was first revealed that Lu Tianheng was practicing demonic arts, the rift between them was not so obvious.
Because everyone still had hope that the three sects wouldn't arrest Lu Tianheng, then at least Lu Tianheng would have a chance to live.
After all, Lu Tianheng was the backbone of the Martial Prohibition Hall. If he fell, the Martial Prohibition Hall would really fall apart.
But now not only has Lu Tianheng been arrested, but he is also to be executed in public. Most importantly, the royal family has also assisted in the arrest of Lu Tianheng.
The implication is self-evident: the royal family is preparing to take action against the Martial Prohibition Hall.
This news plunged everyone in the Martial Prohibition Hall into panic.
On this day, in Mo Province, at the headquarters of the Martial Prohibition Hall, all thirteen deputy commanders of the Martial Prohibition Hall gathered together, and even Chen Qianliu, who had previously stayed in Tian Province, came over.
After all, this meeting was to discuss the future direction of the Martial Prohibition Hall and to decide the fate of the Grandmaster.
Several Grandmaster had already planned to leave the Martial Prohibition Hall, but they hadn't spoken of it before because the situation was unclear.
"Everyone, given the current situation, let's all speak up!" Chen Qiansong spoke first.
"Actually, what's there to say? If you ask me, we should all stick together so that we can fight against the three sects. Otherwise, we'll be eaten up by them and there won't be any trace left." Sun Yunlu immediately stood up and said.
"Yes! The situation is so dire right now, why don't we just take over this Mo Province ourselves? Anyway, the resources here are enough for us to develop and cultivate on our own," Tang Fei chimed in.
The remaining Grandmaster all fell into deep thought, after all, the Martial Prohibition Hall now faced not only the suppression from the three sects.
Moreover, they also have to face the royal family's machinations, and most importantly, the grudges and grievances with other Jianghu forces will definitely be settled.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the Martial Prohibition Hall is now surrounded by enemies. Even if it occupies Mo Province, it will definitely become the target of everyone's attacks.
Therefore, even if they forcibly occupy Mo Province, they shouldn't expect to have an easy time.
This is also what gives all the Grandmaster present the biggest headache. Although in recent years, some states Martial Prohibition Hall from suppressing the forces of the Jianghu.
They've clearly relaxed a lot, but some grudges can't be easily forgotten.
Seeing that few people responded to his statement, Sun Yunlu had no choice but to sit down dejectedly, though his expression was quite unpleasant. In his mind, this was for everyone's good.
They didn't realize at all that he was making such a suggestion entirely for his own benefit.
Because among so many people, he was the most ruthless in suppressing the Jianghu world, and he was also the most powerful in oppressing and exploiting ordinary martial artists and common people.
He was afraid of being held accountable later, which is why he wanted to rally everyone together to fight against the three sects and the Jianghu forces.
However, many people knew Sun Yunlu's character very well, so they simply ignored him.
Tang Fei was similar to Sun Yunlu; he usually hung out with Cheng Tian, and the three of them behaved the same way.
"I think we should observe the royal family's attitude before making any decisions," Chen Qianliu said.
Chen Qianliu is the Grandmaster who has the most dealings with the Great Qian Imperial Family, after all, she is stationed in the Tian Province Imperial City for many years.
Therefore, she didn't have any resentment towards the Great Qian Imperial Family, and even believed that the royal family had become much more tolerant of the Martial Prohibition Hall after the new emperor took over.
On the contrary, the Martial Prohibition Hall went too far and should have aligned itself more closely with the royal family.
Previously, Lu Tianheng was in charge, so she couldn't speak up. Now that Lu Tianheng has been defeated, she feels she should speak up for the royal family.
Upon hearing Chen Qianliu say this, several people turned to look at her.
However, no one spoke up to her, because the royal family had put in a lot of effort in this operation to capture Lu Tianheng.
Furthermore, there are rumors that the reason why the three sects took action to capture Lu Tianheng was because the royal family took the initiative to invite them to do so.
Therefore, based on this, the Grandmaster's impression of the royal family became even worse. After all, if they could betray the Martial Prohibition Hall once, they could betray it a second time.
Although the Grandmaster of the Martial Prohibition Hall each had their own faults, they were surprisingly in agreement on the attitude towards traitors.
Now, in the minds of many Grandmaster, the royal family is seen as a traitor.
Besides, the current situation of the entire Daqian Dynasty is not necessarily good for the royal family.
At this moment, Li Xuewu, who had previously been stationed in Qi Province, spoke up, "I am not very familiar with the other forces, but I have a good personal relationship with Mo Han from the Qi Province Exotic Beast Valley."
He'd invited me to join the Exotic Beast Valley several times before, and given the current situation, I'm actually starting to consider going.
Hearing Li Xuewu say this, several people's eyes lit up, and they turned to look at Li Xuewu.
Li Xuewu's words sparked a lively discussion among the crowd.
After all, in the current environment, the options for the members of the Martial Prohibition Hall are really limited to just a few.
First, they refused to submit to anyone, just as Sun Yunlu said, they simply occupied Mo Province and went it alone.
Or, alternatively, cooperate with other forces to occupy a state.
Secondly, one could seek refuge with a friendly Jianghu force, like the Exotic Beast Valley that Li Xuewu mentioned.
Whether other forces will accept them depends on their own circumstances.
Third, and finally, there is the option of seeking refuge with the royal family, but the royal family's attitude towards these individuals remains to be seen.
After all, in the public's mind, the image of him as a traitor to the royal family will probably be difficult to erase in a short time.
They did want to directly pledge allegiance to the Three Sects, but the Three Sects probably wouldn't even look at them; just consider the number of Grandmaster in the Three Sects, and you can imagine.
So, in the end, there are only these three ways out.
However, even with these three options, the group argued for a long time without reaching a conclusion.
After all, no matter which path they choose, there are too many uncertainties, especially since these people were Grandmaster who had been backed by the Martial Prohibition Hall and had been tyrannical for many years.
Now, suddenly having to live under someone else's roof is a feeling that's not pleasant at all.
Therefore, some people are thinking about whether they can cooperate with other forces to jointly occupy a state, just like other forces form alliances.
This idea is good, but there's a fear that no powerful force will be willing to cooperate with them, and there's also a fear that the three sects will step in to attack them.
Although those Jianghu forces took over territories and there were battles between various forces, the three sects would not pay much attention to them.
However, if this was done by the remnants of the Martial Prohibition Hall, then it's hard to say.
