Chapter 113 The Western Xia Royal Family's Attitude and the End of the Murong Family's Rei
In fact, the current strength of the Xiaoyao Sect is not weak. With two grandmasters, him and Xiaoyaozi, in charge, as well as two grandmaster-level experts, Tonglao and Li Canghai, their top combat power is quite strong.
However, the mid-level combat strength of the Xiaoyao Sect is relatively weak.
There were quite a few Grandmaster-level experts, but there were no martial artists at the Innate Realm.
If anything happens to the sect in the future, it's impossible for him, the sect leader, or the three elders to personally handle everything.
As for martial artists below the Innate Realm, previously, the leaders of the Nine Heavens and Nine Departments of Lingjiu Palace were all first-class experts, and their subordinates also had many first-class experts.
In addition, most of the members are second- or third-rate martial artists, so the Xiaoyao Sect is not lacking in basic martial artists.
Ling Feng was eagerly hoping that Qiao Feng would join the Xiaoyao Sect.
After all, Qiao Feng was a Xiantian martial artist, and one who could challenge Grandmaster-level experts, making him another symbol of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Furthermore, Qiao Feng had served as the leader of the Beggars' Sect and had experience in managing sects. Having him assist in managing the Free and Unfettered Sect would make things much easier for me.
I wonder if he's fallen for someone else. More than a month has passed, and I still haven't heard from him.
Ling Feng even considered sending someone to deliver a message to him, but after some thought, he decided against it.
After all, he has been the leader of the Beggars' Sect for so many years, so let him rest for a while longer.
When Ling Feng began to drastically reform the Xiaoyao Sect, the huge commotion he caused made the neighboring Western Xia Kingdom feel threatened.
Therefore, a Grandmaster-level expert from the Western Xia Kingdom personally came to Lingjiu Palace to investigate the truth of the matter.
Although this Grandmaster was the retired emperor of the Western Xia Kingdom, he was well aware of Ling Feng's illustrious reputation.
Therefore, when he arrived at Lingjiu Palace, he did not put on any arrogant attitude, but honestly sent someone to announce his arrival.
After learning the other party's identity, Ling Feng received him with great enthusiasm.
After all, the Free and Unfettered Sect is now on someone else's territory, and both sides must maintain the most basic caution and respect.
Although Ling Feng was not afraid of the Western Xia royal family, he also understood the principle of avoiding trouble and trying to avoid making more enemies. It would be best to get along with them amicably.
The visitor was an elderly man with white hair and beard. Perhaps because of his royal status, he naturally exuded an aura of majesty.
However, this imposing aura had no effect on Ling Feng whatsoever.
After exchanging a glance with the old man, Ling Feng immediately sensed that the other party was a mid-stage Grandmaster.
He recalled what Xiaoyaozi had once told him: that every country would basically have a Grandmaster-level expert in charge.
These grandmaster-level powerhouses are like nuclear weapons in later generations; although they may not be used, their very existence is a powerful deterrent.
Ling Feng couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"From this perspective, the reason why a small country like Dali still exists must be because it has a Grandmaster-level expert in charge."
After all, martial artists at the Grandmaster level are almost impossible to kill by ordinary armies unless they encounter opponents of the same or even higher level.
Ling Feng knew that Grandmaster-level experts possessed extraordinary abilities, such as the ability to fly and escape into the earth.
Killing such a powerful figure would require paying a heavy price, and success is not guaranteed.
If a Grandmaster-level expert were to escape, it would be an endless nightmare for the enemy.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng looked at the Grandmaster of Western Xia before him and pondered to himself:
"It seems that this Grandmaster understands this principle, which is why he is so polite. After all, he knows that the Free and Unfettered Sect not only has me, a Grandmaster at the peak, but also a Grandmaster at the late stage, Xiaoyaozi."
If you anger those two, they alone could slaughter the entire Western Xia royal family.
In reality, his true intention in coming here was to test the attitude and movements of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
If the Free and Unfettered Sect only pursued status and influence in the martial arts world, then they could have maintained peaceful coexistence and not interfered with each other.
However, if the Xiaoyao faction harbors malicious intentions, attempting to expand its territory or overthrow the regime, then the Western Xia royal family will fight against them at all costs.
Fortunately, he was very satisfied with the outcome of the meeting.
Ling Feng made it clear that his goal was simply for the Xiaoyao Sect to prosper and flourish, and he had no intention of dominating the sect.
This relieved the old man, who left with a sense of joy.
Although he clearly saw the current development trend of the Xiaoyao Sect and knew that it would inevitably rise to become a powerful force in the future, he felt powerless because of the presence of two grandmasters, Ling Feng and Xiaoyaozi.
Furthermore, he dared not take any action lightly, fearing that Ling Feng might suddenly break into the Western Xia palace.
If this were to happen, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the Western Xia royal family.
After all, none of them could withstand Ling Feng's killing intent.
It should be known that every Grandmaster is a formidable person, and if you really provoke them, they are capable of anything.
While Ling Feng was developing the Xiaoyao Sect with great enthusiasm, the situation at the Murong family in Gusu was extremely bad.
After Ling Feng completely exposed the Murong family's secrets that day, he was unable to pursue the matter further due to a lack of evidence.
However, this move planted a seed in the hearts of many heroes, especially those from the imperial court.
After learning about the origins and intentions of the Murong family, the Song court could not possibly sit idly by.
Especially for such acts of plotting to restore the country, isn't that tantamount to overthrowing the existing dynasty's rule?
Therefore, the imperial court secretly launched an investigation into the Murong family.
In just two days, the Murong family's background and past plans were thoroughly investigated and revealed.
After all, although the Song court was relatively weak, it was not difficult for them to investigate a martial arts family.
Furthermore, the Song court was always adept at internal wars but inept at external wars.
Therefore, when they learned about the Murong family's background and plans, they naturally launched a swift and decisive attack.
Therefore, the Song court immediately dispatched a large army to besiege the Murong family.
The Murong family's location, Yanziwu, was an island in the lake, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Therefore, the imperial court specially dispatched naval forces to assist in the encirclement and suppression.
The imperial court didn't even spare several of the Murong family's retainers.
The strongest member of the Murong family right now is Murong Fu, a first-rate expert, while the other family retainers are all at the second-rate level.
Faced with the imperial army's encirclement and suppression, they naturally could not make any waves. Soon, the entire Murong family was captured, and Murong Fu and several retainers became prisoners.
Thus, the once mighty Murong family finally came to an end.
Ling Feng learned of this news through Lingjiu Palace's previous channels, but did not pay much attention to it.
After all, what does the life or death of the Murong family have to do with him?
Moreover, the demise of the Murong family was more or less related to him.
The fact that he didn't clap and cheer was already quite a show of respect.
As for Mantuo Manor, which has some connection with the Murong family, the Song court abandoned the idea of involving it after learning about the relationship between Mantuo Manor and Ling Feng.
After all, Ling Feng's reputation still spreads widely in the martial arts world, so they naturally don't want to easily provoke such a powerful enemy.
