Chapter 324: Huang Tian's CollapseThe weather gradually turned colder and soon it was the twelfth lunar month. As the weather gradually got colder, Huang Tiandao collapsed much faster than expected. This was due to Shi Feizhe's promotion as well as Huang Tiandao's own problems. At the end of October, Shi Feizhe ordered Xuzhou, Yongzhou, Yuzhou and other places bordering Jizhou, Yanzhou and Qingzhou to begin large-scale propaganda to the three states of Huangtian to explain the policies of the new Jianghu. To be honest, the results were not very good at the beginning. The policies of the new Jianghu seemed like a dream to them. Where in the world is there such a place? Many people simply don’t believe that the world can be so good, or they think that the new world only talks about good things and not bad things. But as time went on and the weather turned colder, they exposed a huge problem. These lower-class believers followed Huang Tian Dao and Taoist Sun because of the prosperous and peaceful Huang Tian world promised by Taoist Sun.
Huang Tiandao started out by fighting the powerful and dividing the land, but they did not start production. If they continue to plunder like this, they can hold on. Now, they are running low on food. Food shortage is not the problem. The more problematic thing is that food is not insufficient, but that some people have the means to eat their fill. Some people can only starve. The distribution within Huang Tiandao is not so fair. Even Shi Feizhe could not achieve absolute fair distribution, let alone Huang Tiandao. The people led by Zhou Jiaxing started from here and broke into Huang Tiandao. In the cold winter, when you are cold and hungry, there is nothing more satisfying than a few hot big meat buns. Along with the meat buns, there are also the policies of the new Jianghu and the wavering of Huang Tiandao. For ordinary people, wherever people can eat their fill, there is reason. It’s a very simple and plain truth. Along with the endless supply of food came the endless supply of news from Yangzhou. The first man wavered, and as he wavered, the people around him also wavered. Ten people, a hundred people, a thousand people, ten thousand people were all shaken. Huang Tiandao's areas were slowly being eroded, not because these areas were taken down, but because all the people in these areas had fled. Because ordinary people in places like Xuzhou, Yongzhou, and Yuzhou can really survive and really live with dignity. Everyone yearns for a better life. Taoist Sun was also helpless in the face of such a situation.
In Yiyang City, he looked at Huang Tian’s eighteen noisy commanders with a wry smile on his face. Not many of the backbone members of Huang Tiandao, those warriors, ran away. Those who ran away were the most basic believers. If they were facing other forces, according to the tradition of the underworld, they would still be very combat-capable. But what they are facing is a different new world and a new arena! These warriors are not that important, because their martial arts power is nothing compared to the Jianghu Reform Committee. These generals also felt something was wrong. Some of them suggested fighting with the Jianghu Reform Committee. Some suggested fleeing overseas and developing power. Some suggested negotiations to delay time. There is no result from all the arguing. Faced with such a crushing trend, they all felt powerless! The quarrel at this time was a bit hysterical, but it was just a cover-up for the anxiety in their hearts. They quarreled yesterday, quarreled today, and will quarrel again tomorrow. Can quarreling solve the problem? Can quarreling solve Shi Feizhe? Taoist Sun originally wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly didn't want to say it anymore. He turned around with a dull look and walked into the back hall, leaving these generals alone to continue arguing. When he left, some of the Eighteen Qushuai stopped quarreling and sat there in a daze, not knowing what they were thinking. Some quarreled even more fiercely. When Taoist Sun walked into the inner hall, he saw Hua Chonglang and Ren Daokuang. "In my opinion, why don't the three of us put aside all the martial ethics and fight Shi Feizhe together again." Hua Chonglang heard the quarrel outside, so he said to Taoist Sun. In the underworld, round-robin fights and gang fights are both unethical. But there is no shame in winning. It's embarrassing to lose. Hua Chonglang lost, he wanted to defeat Shi Feizhe very much, and used all means to defeat Shi Feizhe! Even if it's a three-on-one gang fight! "If you lose, you lose. Old man Hua, you don't think that if you win the gang fight, you win, right?" Ren Daokuang, who was sitting opposite him, said: "What's the point of winning like this?" "It's better to practice more and find a way to fight back. If Ren Daokuang wants to win, he has to win fair and square!" Ren Daokuang was defeated many times in his life. How can a person never lose and always win? If you lose, adjust your mindset, practice hard, and win again. Failure is also part of growth!
"What I'm afraid of is that even if the three of us attack together, we still can't defeat Shi Feizhe!" Hua Chonglang provoked. "Impossible!" Ren Daokuang felt that Hua Chonglang was trying to boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige. "He is also a human being, and so am I! Why can't I be as strong as him?" Ren Dao Kuang said. This is what Ren Dao Kuang has always believed in as his persistence in survival! When he was still a herbalist and was at a loss what to do after reading a secret book, he thought the same thing. Why can others practice but I can’t? When he saw the martial arts master, the thought that came to his mind was: Why can others be so strong? I can do it too! He asks himself if he can do what others can do. He challenges all the masters and warriors in the world because he believes that he can reach or even surpass the heights of others. He could not tolerate the gang beating proposed by Hua Chonglang. If a man like him is allowed to beat up others, then what's the point of him practicing martial arts? It’s better to go back to the mountains to collect herbs! "You are noble and great, you can beat me!" Hua Chonglang said with a sneer. In fact, he felt a little embarrassed to beat up Shi Feizhe, a junior. Times are changing too fast. He used to fight all over the martial arts world until he met Yuan Jiuchong. Ten years later, an opponent appeared in the martial arts world that he could not defeat no matter what. His moves, his martial arts, he was very powerful when he was restrained by Shi Feizhe. He couldn't even break Shi Feizhe's defense! For someone like him, this is nothing less than a great humiliation. Even if it was a three-on-one gang fight, he would most likely be the first to be beaten to death. Being beaten to death is an acceptable outcome for a warrior. "I will find a way to defeat him!" Ren Dao Kuang said. Taoist Sun looked at the two of them and didn't know what to say. These two people are here to help. Do we really want to sacrifice them both for Huang Tiandao? What's more, Huang Tiandao is now Through Huang Tian Dafa, he felt that the number of Huang Tian Dao followers was decreasing day by day. By now, it is less than half of what it was when fighting with Shi Feizhe. If this continues, only one in ten followers of Huang Tiandao will remain. He is dying a slow death. There is no way!
