Things in the underworld remain in the underworld.

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly exploded.

Some people agree with Song Tianen's point of view. In the past, the position of the leader of the martial arts world has always been decided by who has the stronger fist or the greater power!

If we really want to compare who is more respected and virtuous, every family has one or two ancestors. You can easily pick one who is both highly respected and virtuous in the world.

It shouldn't be his turn, Zhuge Zhengwo!

Some people also secretly murmured that they were worried that the competition would cause even greater chaos.

And those sects that were already dissatisfied found an outlet to vent their feelings and began to agree.

Zhuge Zhengwo's face changed slightly when he heard this. He was confident that with his martial arts attainments he would definitely be ranked in the top five.

But facing Song Tianen... he didn't have any confidence at all.

You have to know that just over ten minutes ago, he was forced to his knees with his legs bent by the opponent's unintentional momentum in Zhaixing Tower. He was almost seriously injured without fighting him head-on, and he was definitely not his opponent if he fought him head-on.

Even though his stunning shot has reached the pinnacle, with the lesson learned from Qi Shaoshang, Zhuge Zhengwo will never give up easily!
Of course you can say he is timid, but in Zhuge Zhengwo's eyes, this is the most sensible thing to do.

He cannot lose, let alone lose so ugly, otherwise his image as a divine marquis will be ruined.

Seeing Zhuge Zheng I hesitated for a long time but couldn't come up with a single word.

Song Tianen was a little impatient: "Why, could it be that the Divine Marquis doesn't dare to accept the challenge?"

At this time, there seemed to be laughter and discussion coming from the scene.

The situation was getting increasingly out of control.

Mi Cangqiong, who seemed to have received instructions from the Star Picking Tower, flew down to help Zhuge Zhengwo out of the siege: "My emperor has ordered that the position of the leader of the martial arts world is of great importance. How can we judge heroes only by their martial arts skills? Only those who have made great contributions to the Song Dynasty can take this position!"

As soon as Mi Cangqiong finished speaking, the discussion at the scene became more endless.

This is clearly the court patching up the previous policy. In terms of achievements, Zhuge Zhengwo has worked diligently for the court for decades and can be said to be the most loyal dog in the world. He does not hide his bias at all.

Sure enough, after seeing the imperial court personally come out, it seemed that the overall situation had been decided. The leaders of several sects that Zhuge Zhengwo was familiar with, including the Wen Family, Daobing Society, Dafang Sect, Kuacang Sect, Qingdi Sect, Huangshan Sect, Yandang Sect, and the Nine Alliance, all stood up and said:
Old Master Wen tapped the table and said, "That's right. Zhuge Shenhou has maintained the order of the martial arts world for many years, solved many strange cases, and ensured the peace of the people of the Song Dynasty. How can his achievements be measured by his martial arts skills? When it comes to martial arts, the overall situation should be given priority, and those with both moral integrity and talent should lead the way."

The leader of the Dafang Sect, Fang Xin, said to me, "My fellow Taoists, what you said is absolutely right. Zhuge Shenhou is not only an outstanding martial artist, but also cares about the world. His wisdom and benevolence have long been well-known in the martial arts world. If we only fight with force, wouldn't it go against the chivalrous way of our generation? We should work together to seek the well-being of the martial arts world, rather than killing each other and making our loved ones sad and our enemies happy."

The head of the Dao Handle Society, Dao Wuhen, held a long sword that shone with cold light and said in a deep voice: "Although I am famous for my sword skills, I also know that the sword is a dangerous weapon and should not be used unless necessary. Zhuge Shenhou won by wisdom and repeatedly made extraordinary achievements to protect the peace of our martial arts world. Such achievements cannot be replaced by martial arts competitions. I, Dao Handle Society, fully support Zhuge Shenhou to continue to serve as the leader of the martial arts world!"

The leader of Kuacang Sect, Yun Feiyang, was dressed in a flowing green robe, like a banished immortal. He gently waved his folding fan and said with a smile: "In the storms of the martial arts world, the wise have always survived. Zhuge Shenhou is famous for his wisdom and has resolved many crises in the martial arts world. His wisdom and courage are beyond our reach. Our Kuacang Sect is also willing to follow Zhuge Shenhou to maintain the peace of the martial arts world."

Qing Xuanzi, the leader of Qingdi Sect, had a solemn expression on his face and said slowly: "In the martial arts world, although force is important, it is more important to have people with virtue. Zhuge Shenhou cares about the people and puts the overall situation first. He is a role model for our generation. We, Qingdi Sect, swear to defend Zhuge Shenhou's position as the leader of the martial arts world and will not allow others to covet it!"

Huangshan Zhenren, the head of Huangshan Sect, held a whisk in his hand and said softly: "Everything in the world has its own way. The martial arts world is no exception. It needs to be led by people with both virtue and talent. Zhuge Shenhou is just such a person. Our Huangshan Sect is willing to join hands with the martial arts world to achieve this great success."

The head of Yandang Sect, Yan Nanfei, spoke in a loud voice: "Although the affairs of the martial arts world are the affairs of the martial arts world, today's matter concerns the future of the martial arts world. We, the Yandang Sect, support Zhuge Shenhou, not only because of his high martial arts skills, but also because he is a righteous man and is the leader of our generation!"

The leader of the Nine Alliances, Jiu Youzi, was dressed in a black robe and looked mysterious. He said coldly: "The disputes in the martial arts world are complicated and changeable. But there is one thing that we, the Nine Alliance, firmly believe in - Zhuge Shenhou is a blessing to the martial arts world. We, the Nine Alliance, are willing to follow him until death and create a new chapter for the martial arts world together!"

Wang Xiaoshi whispered to Shen Huchan, "I think this martial arts conference should be called a human relations conference. Since the candidates have been chosen, why do they want us, the Zhengxing Gang, to participate?"

Shen Huchan did not say anything, but instead squeezed the Ananda knife in his hand until it creaked, and it was obvious that he was filled with murderous intent. If it were in the past, Shen Huchan would have exploded by now; but under the spell of the Demon Body and Buddha Heart, the murderous intent was buried deep in his heart, and that murderous intent was like magma, and once it erupted, it would be earth-shattering.

With the ten major sects agreeing in the front, even if other smaller sects have opinions, their voices are powerless. Of course, it is not ruled out that some people who just want to have fun are sarcastic and ready to watch the show.

It would be best if the Grim Demon Lord could fight to the death with Zhuge Zhengwo and the ten major sects out of resentment! That would be great!
Seeing that the situation was under control, Zhuge Zhengwo stroked his beard and said, "Thank you all for your kindness! Young Master Song, it's not that I am attached to power, but it's really the public opinion that makes it difficult to shirk responsibility."

Song Tianen chuckled as if he didn't care. "Public opinion? Public opinion can be manipulated! But I have a question for you. According to your logic, if I save this country, would it be the greatest achievement in the world? Can I surpass Mr. Zhuge?"

Although Zhuge Zhengwo still felt a little uneasy, he still replied affirmatively: "Of course, supporting the country is a special merit in the world. Young Master Song, you are still young and you will have plenty of opportunities in the future. If you fail this term, it doesn't mean you won't succeed in the next term."

This is what Song Tianen was waiting for: "Okay! Mr. Zhuge, I have a special merit now, please judge!"

"Young Master Song, you are exaggerating a bit. The world is peaceful and prosperous nowadays, so how could there be anything that could subvert the world?" Mi Cangqiong stepped forward and asked the question before Zhuge Zhengwo.

"Hahaha! How dare you show your head! No one else can do this to overturn the world! It was you, Mi Cangqiong, a castrated chicken, who did it."

Wow!
Song Tianen's accusation caused an uproar among the crowd. You have to know that Mi Cangqiong is the eunuch in charge of the palace. Although he has no rank or grade, he is the emperor's confidant and his status is as noble as that of a first-rank official. To be honest, except that he doesn't have that stuff, this person has reached the pinnacle that ordinary people can reach. He has power and money. Anyone can commit treason, but this person is absolutely impossible to betray the country.

"I think I haven't offended Young Master Song, right? Is Young Master Song blaming me? But the rules are made by the emperor, is Young Master Song dissatisfied with the emperor's arrangement?" Mi Cangqiong said sinisterly. Even Zhuge Zhengye frowned and said, "Young Master Song, do you know what you are talking about? You are slandering the important officials of the current court. This is a great crime. Don't make a mistake."

Even the imperial guards on the scene were secretly on guard to prevent Song Tianen from suddenly launching an attack out of desperation.

Song Tianen laughed coldly: "You are a sick chicken who won't cry until you see the coffin! Since I said so, I must have solid evidence!" After saying that, he clapped his hands together several times.

But then Wang Xiaoshi turned over and entered the room, taking out a wooden box.

Everyone present looked puzzled. Could a wooden box bring Mi Cangkong down?
Mi Cangqiong's heart skipped a beat, as if he had a bad expectation.

"Humph! How can I accept accusations from a layman like you? Someone, come here!"

"Amitabha, Eunuch Mi, wait a minute, let Young Master Song finish what he is saying first! I think since Young Master Song is so confident, there may be something that has caused people to misunderstand. Eunuch Mi's haste will also make everyone present feel dissatisfied." Shaolin Master Jingmeng, who had been silent all this time, slowly stood up and said.

Master Jing Meng's seniority is probably not much lower than Zhuge Zhengwo's, and he may even be half a level higher. Moreover, he represents the old martial arts forces such as Kunlun, Tianshan and other sects and has a great say. They have very weak connections with Zhuge Zhengwo and the court, and their young generation is not ambitious. Therefore, instead of letting the court control the martial arts alliance, it is better to let Song Tianen, the new blood, step up and maybe he can get a piece of the pie.

Cai Prajna of Wuze League: "Master Jingmeng is right. As the saying goes, a person with a clear conscience fears no slander. Moreover, Young Master Song has wiped out three major underworld organizations in succession. I don't believe he will randomly accuse others."

The head of Kunlun Sect, Feng Wuhen, stood in the crowd, dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with a sharp gaze. He spoke slowly, his voice steady and powerful: "The recent feats of Young Master Song have been witnessed by all of us in Kunlun Sect. He is not only an outstanding martial artist, but also has a sense of justice and the courage to take responsibility. Although we don't know the details of what happened today, we are willing to give Young Master Song a chance to let him finish his words. The right and wrong will be judged by the public."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the field relaxed and everyone became quiet. Then, a small number of people in the martial arts world spoke up at the same time.

Mi Cangqiong's face turned extremely ugly!

"You... you ruffians dare to criticize the imperial court. Come on! Drive these people out."

"Wait!"

Zhuge Zhengwo quickly stopped the imperial guards. Even he could see that something was wrong with Mi Cangqiong, and his expression and body language were obviously full of tension.

Is there really something fishy about this guy?

"Young Master Song, please continue."

Mi Cangqiong's face turned pale, and he pointed his finger at Zhuge Zhengwo, shaking non-stop: "You! Humph! What a great Zhuge Shenhou, now that this matter is over, I will never let you go!"

Compared to Mi Cangqiong, these imperial guards listen to Zhuge Zhengwo more.

For a moment, the whole place was silent, with countless eyes, even Zhao Gou on the Zhaixing Tower cast his eyes on Song Tianen.

Waiting for his next move. Song Tianen smiled slightly, and his relaxed gaze swept across everyone, finally landing on Mi Cangqiong, his eyes full of contempt!
"Eunuch Mi, do you know what is hidden in this wooden box?" Song Tianen's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.

Mi Cangqiong's face was livid, but he forced himself to remain calm. He snorted coldly and said, "I don't know, and I don't want to know. But if Young Master Song continues to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Humph, if you really have a clear conscience, why are you afraid of my box?" Song Tianen sneered, and then motioned Wang Xiaoshi to open the wooden box. Wang Xiaoshi followed his instructions and gently opened the lid of the box. Suddenly, a faint scent of ink and the unique smell of paper filled the air. There were several yellowed scrolls neatly placed in the box, as well as a sealed letter.

"These are what I got from a secret base when I was sweeping away the remnants of the Liufenbantang." Song Tianen took out a scroll from the box and slowly unfolded it. "This is the communication record between Lei Sun and someone in the court. It records in detail the conspiracy between the two parties to overthrow the government and bring chaos to the world. What's even more hateful is that this damn plague chicken actually smuggled the great weapon Thunderbolt Fire to the Jin Kingdom through the Liufenbantang! Once the Jin Kingdom gets hold of this Thunderbolt Fire, I'm afraid the Yangtze River defense line will be overturned immediately, and the Jingkang Shame may happen!"

(PS: In the novel version, Mi Cangqiong did collude with Lei Sun to smuggle a large amount of Jiangnan Pili Hall's Thunderbolts to the Kingdom of Jin.)
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Especially collusion with the Jin Kingdom! The great disaster in the Central Plains more than a decade ago is still vivid in our memory.

Everyone was shocked and looked at Mi Cangqiong, only to see that his face was pale and there was a flash of panic in his eyes. Song Tianen did not give up and continued: "And this letter is directly directed to you, Eunuch Mi, and there is a secret order signed by you."

Upon hearing this, Mi Cangqiong could no longer hold back and shouted angrily: "Nonsense! This must be a forgery. You can always find a pretext to accuse someone!" As he spoke, he tried to step forward to snatch the evidence, but was stopped in time by Zhuge Zhengwo beside him.

"Eunuch Mi, please respect yourself!!!"

The situation at this time had far exceeded Zhuge Zhengwo's expectations. If it were true, the Southern Song Dynasty would indeed be in danger. As the guardian of the country, he was completely unaware of what was happening right in front of him. He might have to bear the unshirkable responsibility for failure to check.

"Whether it is a forgery or not, anyone with a discerning eye can tell." Song Tianen snorted coldly, holding up the scroll and letter high, motioning for everyone to look. At this time, several calligraphy masters and senior officials in the court came forward to carefully identify it, and soon someone nodded and confirmed: "This handwriting is undoubtedly written by Eunuch Mi."

This statement was like a bolt from the blue, completely breaking Mi Cangqiong's psychological defenses. He collapsed to the ground, his face ashen, unable to argue anymore.

"Mi Cangqiong, as an important official of the imperial court, you colluded with the traitors and intended to overthrow the country. You deserve to be killed!" Song Tianen's voice was cold, like ice piercing the bones. "Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens and clean up the mess!"

After saying that, he flashed in front of Mi Cangqiong and slapped out with a palm as powerful as thunder. Even Mi Cangqiong, who had innate cultivation, had no power to resist Song Tianen. He only felt a surge of great power, and was instantly knocked back several feet, falling heavily to the ground, spitting blood!

Mi Cangqiong felt as if his internal organs were shattered into powder, and he might die on the spot in the next moment.

But Mi Cangqiong burst into laughter, and that laughter was just like a night owl: "Hahahaha, even if I die, I will drag you all to hell. There is Thunderbolt buried under your place, are you surprised? Are you surprised? Bai Choufei! Why don't you do it, you little brat!" (End of this chapter)
