Hongjing Branch of the Martial Arts Association.

This branch building is located in the city hall area of ​​Hongjing City, next to the Health Supervision Bureau, and the two are arranged in a protective posture around the city hall.

When the Force users with mysterious powers hide behind the scenes and control the world's power, the martial arts associations that appear in the open are their agents.

It is called a martial arts association, but the actual people in power are just Force users, and martial artists are just reserve Force users who have stepped into the threshold.

For those who use the Force, practicing martial arts in their youth is just to improve their physical fitness to the threshold for undergoing the awakening ceremony.

However, not every martial artist can successfully pass the awakening ceremony and transform from a mortal into a Force user. Most of them do not have the aptitude for the Force, and many with ordinary aptitudes cannot withstand the Force radiation during the ceremony and are seriously injured or die.

Of course, this situation changed greatly after the emergence of Wan Jue Tian Palace. A new path of martial arts emerged, and even many people in the Martial Arts Association joined Wan Jue Tian Palace to thoroughly implement the path of martial arts.

For those who have no hope, the appearance of a ray of light means nothing.

In the office on the third floor.

Yang Yi, the head of the Thunder Branch, glanced at the report in his hand, his face turning ashen. "This is truly shocking! According to information gathered by the agents within the Health Supervision Bureau, this so-called Wan Jue Tian Palace has extremely powerful tactics for winning over people. In a short period of time, it has already corrupted half of Nanwu Province. If the higher-ups hadn't noticed something was wrong immediately and sent us to suppress it, I'm afraid this entire province would have even changed its name."

"Furthermore, my undercover agent disappeared completely as soon as he sent the message. I guess he was murdered. This is truly lawless!"

He looked no more than forty years old, with a refined appearance, but at this moment, he was furious and had no regard for his manners. Before they arrived, they had never imagined that the situation in Nanwu Province would deteriorate to this point, and half of the province would be corrupted without a sound.

Sitting next to him, Zhenwu Elder Dongfang Ke remained expressionless as he slowly spoke, "It's not just within the Health Supervision Bureau. Even within the state government, many high-ranking officials have been bribed or brought under the purview of the Wan Jue Tian Palace. This is the first time since the establishment of the Federation that a civilian organization has attempted to seize control of the entire state's administrative power."

Dongfang Ke paused, then continued, "However, Nanwuzhou experienced the events of the ruins that year. Almost all of its guardians were killed or injured, leaving it extremely destitute. It's understandable that something like this happened. Fortunately, we discovered it in time, and we can still stop this momentum."

"Of course, I've already united masters from various schools in other states. As soon as the meeting is held tonight, we will collectively attack the members of the Wan Jue Tian Palace. Their legitimacy as an orthodox school must be abolished today."

Yang Yi suppressed his anger and nodded.

Suppressing the gang's leaders and abolishing the sect's legitimacy is only the first step. As long as the legitimacy is lost, if Wan Jue Tian Gong continues to exist, it will be a pure criminal organization, and the federal government can openly suppress and arrest all its members.

As long as this first step is achieved, there will be a legitimate reason, and all subsequent plans can be implemented smoothly.

As for the backlash from Wan Jue Tian Palace, it might happen according to the predictions of these two elders, but in the face of absolute strength, it should not cause any big waves.

This is the confidence that comes from being from two top schools.

After being summoned by the two elders of the Zhenwu and Lei Ting schools, many schools in the surrounding states of Nanwuzhou rushed to the Hongjing City branch of the Martial Arts Association.

For a time, the situation in Hongjing City not only affected the entire Nanwu Province, but also affected many surrounding states. The undercurrents were so turbulent that the small and medium-sized schools in Hongjing felt panic.

"The Zhenwu and Lei Ting sects are the face of the Xia Federation and its pillars. Their nature is completely different from those smaller sects. If it were any ordinary sect or family, they might have attacked us at night and secretly slaughtered us before wiping out their entire sect." Around 6 p.m., Xu Xianxian brought a few friends to the association's branch, casually analyzing what had happened. "But the Zhenwu and Lei Ting sects are quite different. They are upright and righteous masters. First, they used their membership in the Martial Arts Association to deprive our sect of its legitimacy. Then, they listed major crimes like illegal gathering, disrupting federal security, and secession, using the state machinery to make us enemies worldwide."

Pure violence cannot establish order; violence is merely a means of maintaining it. Lei Ting and Zhen Wu represent part of the Federation, so their actions are naturally aboveboard.

This is the basic approach of the superstructure.

"Once we're labeled a criminal organization, even if Wan Jue Tian Gong survives this crisis, we'll have no choice but to expand covertly. This is exactly what the two elders from the Zhenwu and Thunder Sects want." Right Deacon Su Zhenyu followed behind Xu Xianxian, his handsome face like a sculpture. He whispered, "But it's clear that they underestimated the power of the Palace Master. No one can fathom His might, and anyone who stands in their way will be crushed into dust."

The others, including Liu Shiyu, did not speak. They were still guessing about Xu Xianxian's strength and were looking forward to seeing her take action.

"Hey! Deacon Su, I didn't bring you here to kill you, but to pass on the glory of martial arts." Xu Xianxian curled her lips, "Those two elders are quite powerful. It would be good if they could turn back from their mistakes."

Su Zhenyu was stunned at first, but then nodded respectfully: "...Yes, I will obey the Palace Master's order."
