Chapter 187 Jiangnan Association

ps: This chapter is a reward and update for the 10,000 starting point coins of book friend Xiaohang Feiyu.

Su Xin held the invitation letter from the Jiangnan Club in his hand, but his face showed a look of surprise. He almost forgot that his current ranking was 23rd, and he was eligible to be invited by the Jiangnan Club.

The so-called Jiangnan Club was a martial arts event held by the Jiangnan Xiao Clan, one of the six great families.

One of the six aristocratic families, the Xiao Clan in Jiangnan, although not as long as the Shangguan Clan in Runan, is the most powerful lineage among the six aristocratic families, and its origins are astonishing.

It is said that thousands of years ago, when the world was in turmoil, when the former overlord Jin was only a small country, at that time, the Xiao family was already king in the south of the Yangtze River, and the country was named Daliang.

However, later the world competed for hegemony, the Jin Kingdom rose, all the small countries were destroyed, and Da Liang was naturally destroyed.

The Xiao family in the south of the Yangtze River was born in the royal family, and their identity is indescribably precious. When the Eastern Jin Dynasty became the overlord of the Central Plains, it was also afraid of the remaining power of the Xiao family.

Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has dominated the Central Plains, it also wants to appease the Xiao family, so he has given the Xiao family a marquis of An, which is also hereditary.

Because of this, Xiao Huang's nickname is 'Little Anhou'.

His father, the patriarch of the Xiao family, is Anhou of this generation, and his own strength is also second in the rankings. No one in the younger generation of the Xiao family can compete with him. Known as 'Little Anhou'.

However, in Su Xin's view, the so-called Pinghou, Anhou, etc. are mostly ironic rather than honors.

Whether it is the Eastern Jin Dynasty or the Great Zhou Dynasty, look at the titles they gave: Pinghou, Anhou, which means that although your Xiao family used to be a royal family, but now it is not your turn to be the master of the world, give you a title, honestly In fact, just stay in Jiangnan in peace, don't go out and make any fools.

Of course, this title is a symbol of strength in the eyes of Jianghu people, and even the imperial court has to win over their Xiao family.

And this Jiangnan meeting started out as a tradition of the Xiao family to recruit guests, and later it evolved into a grand event that all the younger generation of martial artists can participate in.

The development line of the family is completely different from that of the martial arts sect. Although the family blood can guarantee the loyalty and unity of the family, the cohesion is stronger than that of the sect, but how many geniuses are there in a family? The martial arts sects recruited young heroes from all over the world.

Therefore,

These big families have a tradition of recruiting disciples, and the Xiao family has taken a different approach, holding a Jiangnan meeting to recruit talented and potential young warriors from Wumen Wujia or Xiaomen Xiaojiao to join the Xiao family and cultivate them carefully.

This kind of disciple who has been cultivated since childhood is undoubtedly much more loyal than the one who has been recruited with a lot of money in the later stage.

Moreover, they can also marry the children of the Xiao family. After a few generations, they can completely integrate into the Xiao family and become a member of the Xiao family. It is precisely because of this strategy that the Xiao family gradually grew and became the head of the six great families .

In the beginning, the Jiangnan Club was for this purpose, but later the Xiao family also invited some famous young heroes from the arena to come to the Jiangnan Club to comment and appreciate. With more and more people, the Jiangnan Club has undergone some changes.

With the list of founders of Six Gates, the young heroes of the younger generation in Jianghu are fighting more and more fiercely.

However, the Central Plains Martial Arts Forest is so large, sometimes even if you want to step on the opponent's upper position to challenge, you may not be able to find someone. There are not many warriors who have been otaku in the sects all year round.

Therefore, some warriors will gather at the Jiangnan meeting. When the Xiao family recruits the guests, they will let them compete. If the people who are strong on the list want to do it, they can also try their skills at the Jiangnan meeting and update the ranking of the people.

Later, the size of the Jiangnan Club became larger and larger, and more and more young warriors came. The Xiao family found that there was an opportunity to enhance the reputation of the Xiao family, so they completely enlarged the Jiangnan Club and built it into a young martial artist. A generational event.

All warriors aged 35 years old can participate in the entire martial arts. The final top three finalists will receive a heavy gift regardless of whether they join the Xiao family or not. The remaining top dozens of warriors are also eligible to be accepted by the Xiao family. Solicit.

The top 30 warriors on the ranking list are also eligible to be invited to the Jiangnan Club by the Xiao family by personally sending invitations to become one of the judges who evaluate those loose cultivators. It is the same as the elders of the Xiao Family Yuan Divine Realm.

In Su Xin's opinion, this move was indeed wonderful, and it cleverly captured the minds of some warriors.

Why is the competition among the ranking martial artists so fierce? Nothing more than a 'name'.

Now let them serve as judges of the Jiangnan Club. They are also the younger generation of warriors. The people below are fighting in the ring just to attract the attention of the Xiao family and become the Xiao family's disciples.

But they can sit on the high platform and comment on these warriors together with the elders of the Xiao family's spiritual realm. This vanity believes that many warriors will want to try it.

Therefore, it is an honor in itself to be invited by the Xiao family to send an invitation to this Jiangnan meeting.

However, the Jiangnan meeting was different this time. The imperial court even participated in it, and asked Gu Donglai, the general manager of the Jiangnan Road march, to join forces with the Xiao family to hold the Jiangnan meeting together.

I don't know if this court is jealous of the Xiao family's attracting a large number of potential young warriors every year, so this is why they suddenly intervened.

But these have nothing to do with the current Su Xin, he originally planned to go to the Central Plains.

Now that he has broken through to the peak of the Spirit Aperture Realm, if he wants to break through the Divine Palace Realm, he still needs a certain chance. The Central Plains is undoubtedly a good place.

After putting away the invitation and sending Chen Qiao away, Su Xin decided to set off for the Central Plains, but at this time the news of Su Xin's appearance in Lingzhou Mansion had already spread.

When Su Xin killed Zhu Zefang and others, everyone thought that Su Xin must have found a secluded place to recuperate from his injuries, but no one thought that he would be so courageous that he stayed in Lingzhou, not far from the scene of the incident. The government recuperates.

You must know that although he killed Zhu Zefang and others, there is no guarantee that other lay disciples of Shaolin Temple will not come to him for revenge, and there are still people in Zhujiazhuang, this Su Xin is also bold.

Su Xin was still alive, and he was alive and well. The news spread to other lay disciples of the Shaolin Temple, but they remained silent.

Just as some warriors ridiculed them for bullying the soft and fearing the hard, they were scared by Su Xin.

The lay disciples of Shaolin Temple are a group, but they are not such a close group. Unless something threatens their entire group, or if something happens to them, they will find a few close friends or invite some things. Come to the door to help.

For example, this time Zhu Zefang went to Duan Tianya and brought out Zhou Changxin with a yellow weapon.

It is true that the lay disciples of Shaolin Temple will agree to the outside world, but the premise is that in the case of unanimous foreign affairs, even if they cannot benefit, they cannot harm their interests.

Now that Su Xin's strength is strong, it is obvious that the warriors who come to the four or five shrine realms can't help him at all. If there is no benefit like this, who would like to go up and die?

They would only move unless the leaders who had broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm among the lay disciples of Shaolin Temple spoke up.

But unfortunately, those who exist in the Primordial Spirit Realm didn't say anything for some reason or for other reasons, so they could only pretend to be deaf and mute, pretending they didn't know the news.

Those lay disciples of Shaolin Temple can pretend they don't know, but the people of Zhujiazhuang can't.

In the more than half a year since Zhu Zefang's death, their Zhujiazhuang can be said to be extremely miserable.

Originally, Zhujiazhuang was not very strong, until Zhu Zefang returned from Shaolin Temple, and with his cultivation in the realm of the shrine, they were able to rise from Hannan Road, and they could be regarded as a small force.

But now that Zhu Zefang was killed, many other lay disciples of Shaolin Temple in Hannan Road came to offer their condolences. All of them were congenital warriors. What happened?

After the condolences, he didn't even fart, patted his butt and left, which made the people of Zhujiazhuang grit their teeth.

After all, you should leave some kung fu pills and take care of the growth of the descendants of the same family in the past, so you just left?

But unfortunately, their grudges are useless. Although they are both lay disciples of Shaolin Temple, their relationship with Zhu Zefang is not as close as Duan Tianya. There is only a trace of incense in the sky. It is not bad to be able to offer condolences. I still want something. , what are you kidding?

And it is precisely because of the attitude of some people that Zhujiazhuang's current situation is extremely bad.

In the past, the people of Zhujiazhuang, under the influence of Zhu Zefang, occupied a lot of land and business around Zhujiazhuang.

The other martial arts forces gave Zhu Zefang a face, it should be said that they would give face to the collective of Shaolin Temple lay disciples behind him, so they all backed down.

Now that Zhu Zefang is dead, looking at the attitudes of other Shaolin Temple lay disciples, they obviously have no intention of continuing to help Zhu Jiazhuang, so why are they hesitating? In the past six months, Zhujiazhuang's land and business have almost been eaten up.

The people of Zhujiazhuang couldn't bear it anymore, so the only remaining elder in Zhujiazhuang, the old man, came out and gathered all the second-generation disciples of Zhujiazhuang to discuss matters together.

Mr. Zhu is already in his 70s and 80s. He is not a congenital warrior. He is now old and old. After Zhu Zefang returned to Zhu's house more than ten years ago, he has no business.

But now in this situation, he can't help but stop. The current owner of Zhujiazhuang, Zhu Qifang, can't support Zhujiazhuang at all.

Even if the second-generation disciples of other Zhujiazhuang were replaced, it would be the same. Although they were also in the innate realm, no matter their strength or courage, they were far from the dead Zhu Zefang.

Although Mr. Zhu is not in the innate realm, he has trained several innate warriors such as Zhu Zefang and Zhu Qifang, which is not easy.

And in terms of prestige, Mr. Zhu is the highest existence in the Zhu family village, so as soon as the old man of the Zhu family spoke, Zhu Qifang and others could only stand obediently and listen to his orders. (To be continued.)
