Chapter 181: The Ebb and Flow of Jianghu: the Aftershock of the Bride Kidnapping (2/2)
On that matter, Mingyi School suffered great losses and lost face. Naturally, the School was unwilling to let it go. Be it falling out with Tian Long Taoism or pretending to do so, the fame must be reshaped.
And this time, sending only several Level Eight experts would not win them back their pride.
Fu Fengzi, a Level Nine expert of Mingyi School, declared a war with Wang She immediately when he exited training. At the same time, Golden Lights Cave, Lu Shaoyou's master's homegate, also suffered losses in this matter. The master of Golden Lights Cave, a Sword Master with Level Nine, declared a war with Wang She as well.
Meanwhile, all casinos of Jianghu made a bet whether these three Level Nine experts would fight or not. If they really started a fight, Wang She would choose who to fight with first. After the fight, what would be the result? Immediately, the business surged like tidal water and Junior Leopard couldn't help betting on a hundred silver.
However, there would be no fire, because the two families were just pretending!
Especially Golden Lights Cave, it had an illustrious reputation, but there was only one Level Nine expert, Sword Master. If any unexpected misfortune befell Sword Master when fighting with Wang She, Golden Lights Cave wouldn't have an expert to protect its domain. Then all the painstaking efforts that Sword Master had made for decades were in vain. So it was unrealistic for Sword Master to risk his life and seek justice for his disciples.
In Jianghu, Golden Lights Cave was a special school. It was not a traditional wealthy family. Though lacking in such powerful strength, it was also not a common small school with some historical deposition, and its strength was far stronger than that of middle and small well-known martial families. Because this emerging school was established by a Level Nine expert, it could even easily destroy a well-known martial family with a history of hundreds of years.
Schools in Jianghu were like ocean bubbles. There was a general tendency that new schools would appear as schools died out at every moment.
In assorted emerging schools, the most eccentric and promising school was Golden Lights Cave, which was built by a Level Nine expert.
There were very few Level Nine experts in the world, and less of them would establish a school independently. Such figures were located at the top of the pyramid of strength, so no matter what country or school they participated in, they would be extremely valued. It could be said that as long as you sincerely took part in the school, you would almost obtain an equal position and authority as the most influential Elders of the school immediately.
Most of such experts would choose to join a country or school, accept a price, and then choose a suitable successor to carry on their education.
But some Level Nine experts had different ideas. They would start a new school by themselves and widely receive disciples, who would form a new school. Although they did not have a sound foundation, such new schools could still attract more disciples to join them, merely because the leader was a Level Nine expert. Except for real prestigious sects and schools and millennium families, nowhere else did Level Nine experts exist.
Because of the fame of Level Nine experts, at the very beginning, plenty of people wanted to join them, and this developed a great influence, but this influence was relatively loose. Moreover, Level Nine experts were also unlikely to take all participants as disciples. Generally, they would select some people with good aptitude as their own disciples. Then according to the basic structure of the school in Jianghu, they took these disciples as the core to set up the structure of the school.
Like the present Golden Lights Cave.
In order to build a school with better development and a good environment, these experts also reached a compromise with those millennium families and prestigious sects and schools for mutual benefits. They assisted these schools to train a portion of experts and disciples, and even let their own disciples take part in these schools to tie the knot, like the White Blademaster Lu Shaoyou who became a deacon of Mingyi School. In this way, two sides kept the relationship like allies, so that they both could reap the benefits from it. With the support of these large schools, the school made remarkable development.
But how many people could really be Level Nine experts in the world?
Therefore, most of such schools would vanish in Jianghu, like a flash in the pan. When founders were alive, schools enjoyed great popularity and no one dared compete with them. But when founders with Level Nine passed away, schools that were operated well and had strong cohesion would continue to survive, but schools that lacked this, fell apart overnight.
Furthermore, the number of Level Nine experts was too low. And such a school was even unlikely to appear in one or two hundred years. Now, Golden Lights Cave was the only school with a Level Nine expert in Jianghu. Thanks to the Level Nine experts, Sword Master as well as Lu Shaoyou, the Level Eight expert, Golden Lights Cave could now enjoy an influential fame in Jianghu.
But now, Golden Lights Cave had just lost a Level Eight expert. As long as people were rational, they didn't believe that their backbone would fight with Wang She.
Junior Leopard was sure that he knew a little about Wang She, who only cared about his own interests. If he lacked confidence, there was no way he could fight with other Level Nine experts. Though he was willing to, Tian Long Taoism was unlikely to say ”yes”.
Moreover, a few days afterward, this case of the bride kidnapping distracted everyone's attention from focusing on Wang She.
