……………………………… I am a pure dividing line ………………………………
"Brother, this name is so powerful," Zhao Ling'er said.
"The gang we establish together is destined to wield the greatest power in the world. Besides, I've never thought about being low-key," Zhao Hao replied.
To become the best in the world, how could one be low-key?
To stop the Mongol Empire's southern advance, one must wield the greatest power in the world.
Although Zhao Yun is Zhao Hao's father, as long as he is alive, Zhao Hao cannot forcefully take over.
Since that's the case, Zhao Hao will take it himself.
"Quan means power, and Li means strength. The Power Gang is destined to wield the greatest power in the world. There's no need to hide this," Zhao Hao said.
"What about Father?" Zhao Ling'er hesitated.
"There won't be any problems with Father," Zhao Hao affirmed.
Zhao Ling'er was puzzled.
Zhao Hao's face showed a mysterious smile, "Ling'er, have you forgotten the Soul Transference Technique from the Nine Yin Manual?"
Zhao Ling'er shuddered.
After a moment, Zhao Ling'er returned to normal, met Zhao Hao's eyes, and smiled.
"I'll follow Brother," Zhao Ling'er said.
The two of them, bound by blood, had a deep bond that far exceeded what outsiders could imagine.
Especially Zhao Ling'er's attachment to Zhao Hao, which far surpassed her respect for her parents.
Over the years, Zhao Hao had been fulfilling the duties of a parent for Zhao Ling'er.
In Zhao Hao's palace, the two ten-year-old children established the Power Gang.
At the moment, it was hard to see how much impact this event would have on the world.
Some things need time to prove themselves.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao has always been a very patient person.
...
Time flies, and six years have passed.
In these six years, the winds of change have been stirring.
The friction between the Mongol Empire and the Song Dynasty has intensified, and those with foresight can see that a war between the Mongols and the Song is inevitable.
However, the entire Song Dynasty, from top to bottom, is immersed in peace and prosperity, with no sense of crisis.
Beyond the mountains and beyond the towers, when will the songs and dances by the West Lake cease?
The warm wind intoxicates the tourists, making them mistake Hangzhou for Bianzhou.
It is indeed very laughable.
Many people have lost their martial spirit, living day by day, and will not think of resistance until the executioner's blade is at their necks.
The key is, once the executioner's blade is at their necks, will they still have the chance to resist?
Of course, not everyone has chosen to submit.
In these six years, the most noteworthy event in the world has been the rise of the Power Gang.
The Power Gang rose along the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, establishing strongholds along the waterways, and quickly rose to prominence in a short time.
In today's world, Shaolin has secluded itself, the Beggar Gang is declining, and the Quanzhen Sect is far from its former glory. The newly risen Power Gang has soared, showing great potential to become the largest gang in the world.
Shaolin has secluded itself for cultivation and does not involve itself in worldly affairs. The Beggar Gang, despite its name, is not a major player, and the current leader, Huang Rong, is more focused on her husband, Guo Jing, and her children, paying little attention to the gang's affairs.
The Quanzhen Sect, after the fall of the Jin Dynasty, has lost much of its former influence.
The close ties between the Quanzhen Sect and the Jin Dynasty are no secret, and many people find it distasteful.
The founder of the Quanzhen Sect, Wang Chongyang, started by resisting the Jin, but his disciples colluded with the Jin. Although the Quanzhen Sect is still a major sect, this incident has tarnished its reputation.
Furthermore, none of the Seven Quanzhen have reached the pinnacle of martial arts, so the Quanzhen Sect's position as the top sect has been gradually shaken.
In contrast, the Power Gang has been rising rapidly, and its momentum shows no signs of slowing down.
Moreover, the Power Gang has won the hearts of the people.
Many so-called righteous sects claim to uphold justice and protect the country, but in private, they engage in despicable deeds.
For example, the Beggar Gang, during times of chaos, is a prime opportunity for its rise. While there are many among them who resist foreign invaders, there are also many who engage in human trafficking.
No one is better suited for human trafficking than the Beggar Gang.
This situation has persisted from the previous leader, Hong Qigong, to the current leader, Huang Rong, despite their efforts to combat it, it has never been completely eradicated.
Where there is light, there is also darkness.
Thus, the Beggar Gang's reputation in the martial world is not as good as people imagine.
The Quanzhen Sect, first closely tied to the Jin Dynasty, and then ambiguously with the Mongols after the Jin's fall, has lost much of its credibility.
If you do something, it will not go unnoticed.
Since these actions have been taken, they cannot be hidden from the world.
Chu Chujie's journey to the desert to preach to Temujin established a connection between the Quanzhen Sect and the Mongols.
In recent years, the Quanzhen Sect has been ambiguous in its stance, and while its disciples still uphold justice, they have not repeated the patriotic deeds of the past.
Many people, especially those with clear eyes, have criticized this.
The Power Gang is different.
From the beginning, the Power Gang has openly declared war on the Mongols.
The conditions for joining the Power Gang are well-known.
Bringing the head of a Mongol soldier as a token of loyalty makes one a brother in the Power Gang.
The Power Gang welcomes all, but from the start, it has not left itself any room for retreat.
In today's world, the Mongols are powerful, and the Song Dynasty is confined to a corner, likely to meet a bad end.
Many people have already seen this.
Yet, the Power Gang still boldly declared war on the Mongols.
Although many see it as a futile effort, it has won the admiration of many passionate individuals.
To do what one knows is impossible is the mark of a true hero.
In these six years, the Power Gang has killed more Mongols than any other group.
The Mongols hate the Power Gang as much as the Han people love it.
In just six years, the Power Gang has surpassed the ten-thousand-member mark, including many soldiers and officers.
Not everyone has been worn down by reality, and not everyone has accepted their fate.
When a country and a nation face dire straits, a group of people will always rise up to resist.
The Power Gang welcomes them, and they welcome the Power Gang.
Their combination has made the Power Gang even stronger.
The Power Gang is said to have two leaders, one male and one female, but both are very mysterious and have never shown their faces in public.
It is rumored that they have a strong background, which is evident from the fact that the government has never interfered with the Power Gang since its establishment.
The Power Gang is a gang formed by like-minded individuals and now possesses a force that commands the attention of the world.
However, the two leaders seem to be still unsatisfied.
There is a rumor in the martial world that the day the two leaders of the Power Gang truly reveal themselves will be the day the Power Gang formally declares war on the Mongols.
At that time, tens of thousands of Power Gang members will risk their lives to follow their leaders.
This is the oath they took when they joined the gang.
The two leaders of the Power Gang have not revealed their names, but within the gang, they have codenames.
The leader is codenamed "Ruling the World."
The deputy leader is codenamed "Imperial Flower."
PS: There will be another update in the afternoon, which could be a side story or the main story of the sword-wielding. It's Monday today, so I'm asking for more collections and recommendations to boost the rankings. In November, I will start to update faster, but recently, I have a lot of things to deal with, so my time is limited. Please understand.
