Chapter 307 Beastly Dynasty, Demonic Sect Enchantress

The river flows like a green ribbon, and the mountains resemble jade hairpins.

Guilin is the jade palace of the southern frontier, its landscape the best under heaven.

The peaks rise like jade tablets, reaching for the sky, while the Li River, like a ribbon, meanders around the city.

The Jade-Faced Lady had a secluded villa in Guilin. After entering the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, she told the young man about some things related to the Southern Han Dynasty.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was no shortage of all sorts of demons and monsters.

The Southern Han Dynasty was later known as the "Beast Dynasty." Its rulers exhibited collective debauchery, cruelty, abuse of torture, and eunuch power. To strengthen his authority, the founding emperor Liu created six cruel punishments, including nasal irrigation, tongue removal, and shaving, and treated watching executions as entertainment, thus forming a morbid tradition of rule.

His successors, such as Liu Bin and Liu Sheng, inherited this gene, and there are even records of physiological excitement such as "drooling" when watching executions.

The Southern Han Dynasty also pioneered the "castration for officialdom" system, stipulating that anyone wishing to serve as a civil official must castrate themselves, leading to a surge in the number of eunuchs to 20,000.

As for female officials in charge of government and eunuchs in charge of the army, there's no need to elaborate on that.

From its founding to its fall, the Southern Han dynasty was ruthless in its killing of its own imperial relatives. Historical records state that "most of the former generals of the Southern Han were killed due to slander, and the Liu clan was almost entirely wiped out, leaving only eunuchs in control of the military."

"Son."

"There are three powerful demonesses here; you must be extremely careful!"

"Even I, your humble servant, cannot discern their origins!"

After the group found a place to stay, the Jade-Faced Lady knocked on the door and entered, followed by Fu Jianhan and others. The Valley of Villains was located here, and its relationship with the Demonic Sect was intricate.

The others present were not very familiar with Southern Xinjiang, so they all sat down to listen to the Jade-Faced Lady explain in detail.

Duncan asked curiously, "Which three enchantresses?"

The Jade-Faced Lady pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Last year, Emperor Liu Sheng of the Southern Han Dynasty passed away, and Prince Liu Chang of Wei succeeded him to the throne."

"He is incompetent, cowardly, and incapable of governing the country."

"Therefore, the administration of state affairs was entrusted to eunuchs and maids, and palace maids were also appointed as participating officials."

Liu Chang believed that his ministers all had families and would not be loyal to the emperor in order to protect their descendants. Therefore, he only trusted eunuchs and his ministers had to castrate themselves before they would be employed.

The Jade-Faced Lady explained in detail, then said softly, "That Lu Qiongxian is Liu Chang's concubine."

"I have met her once before."

"This person has extremely high martial arts skills. I don't know why she is lurking by Liu Chang's side. She has a lot of connections with the Demonic Sect, but I don't know which branch of the Demonic Sect she belongs to."

"Moreover, this person also possesses secret sorcery and is skilled in mind control."

We must be on guard!

Lu Qiongxian was graceful and had snow-white skin, like a white lotus blooming in a turbid world.

The martial arts world in the Guangdong and Guangxi regions is incredibly complex, with all six branches of the Demonic Cult operating there, and the Valley of Villains also has some connections with the Demonic Cult.

After hearing what the Jade-Faced Lady said, Duncan's heart stirred slightly, and he thought to himself, "Extremely high martial arts skills?"

"He's also skilled in secret arts and mind control?"

"Is it related to the Demonic Sect?"

This is the Guangdong and Guangxi region. To be honest, the description of the Jade-Faced Lady reminded him of a professional rebel.

This branch is currently located in Guangdong and Guangxi, and its relationship with the Demonic Sect is intricate.

The Jade-Faced Lady is highly skilled in martial arts, second only to Lu Shanjun among all the people. She said that the other party's martial arts are very high, so it is estimated that he is even stronger than her. It can be basically confirmed that he is a five-star gold-marked unit.

"Who are the other two demonesses?"

Fu Jianhan asked curiously, "A person who can be called a witch by the Jade-Faced Lady must be an extremely demonic and evil being."

After a moment of contemplation, the Jade-Faced Lady slowly said, "The other demoness is named Fan Hu Zi."

"She is a witch."

"This person claims to be the incarnation of the Jade Emperor's beard that fell to earth, hence the name 'Beard'."

The Jade Emperor's beard?
Is there really such an outrageous thing?

Upon hearing this, Duncan immediately became interested and asked the Jade-Faced Lady to explain in detail.

According to legend, Liu Chang held Fan Hu Zi in high esteem and set up a tent for her in the inner palace, which was filled with gold, silver and jewels. Fan Hu Zi, wearing a traveler's hat and a purple robe, sat in the tent and preached about fortune and misfortune. She also called Liu Chang "Crown Prince Emperor", which is the son of the Jade Emperor.

Liu Chang was overjoyed and treated her like a deity, so he listened to Fan Hu Zi on many state affairs, which led the entire court to vie to curry favor with her.

Son of the Jade Emperor?

Isn't this title supposed to belong to Emperor Huizong of Song, the Daojun Emperor?
Someone's actually fighting over this?
This era truly produced some oddities; it seems that Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty also believed in the evil monk's teachings.

Seeing that Duncan seemed very interested, the Jade-Faced Lady continued, "Liu Chang also has a concubine who is quite extraordinary. She is a Persian woman named Meizhu."

"I do not know her background, but I suspect that she is related to the Great Ming Zunjiao."

A sycophantic pig?

That's a bit of an oversight.

After asking around, Duncan could only sigh that the last emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty was surrounded by a large group of demons and monsters.

—"Liu Chang, in his drunken stupor, obtained a Persian woman. She was a young woman, plump and beautiful, and skilled in lewdness, she was extremely sensual."

Chang favored her and bestowed upon her the title 'Charming Pig'.

He sought a method to enhance male virility from a Taoist priest, and after a long time, he obtained it. The more he practiced, the better. He enjoyed observing people's sexual intercourse, and selected wicked young men to be paired with young palace women, all of whom were all beautiful, strong, and attractive. Afterwards, they would undress and expose themselves to each other, and he would then use this method to entice the emperor to admire and play with them. This was called "Great Double Pairing."

He then selected a new and exotic animal to pair with a charming pig; birds and beasts, seeing this, also became acquainted with it.

Damn it.

The ancients really knew how to have fun.

After gaining Liu Chang's favor, Meizhu recruited nine plump palace women for Liu Chang, bestowing upon them names such as Meiniu, Meiyang, and Meihu, collectively known as the "Ten Most Alluring Women".

He also designed a "double act" performance, because Liu Chang liked to watch people's lewd pleasures, so he ordered young boys and girls to have sex naked in the back garden for his audience.

It's outrageous that his mother opened the door for him; it's utterly outrageous.

Liu Chang and Meizhu enjoyed watching live-action adult films. They would often bring men and women from Guangdong and Guangxi into the palace and have them perform sexual acts in public. Liu Chang and Meizhu would watch with great interest. If the woman lost first, the man would be richly rewarded; if the man lost first, he would be severely punished. It was rumored that the lightest punishment was castration into a eunuch, and the heaviest was execution. The latter was probably an exaggeration.

Haven't they perished yet?
Right.

The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Upon hearing this, Duncan seemed to be deep in thought. The Jade-Faced Lady would never say these things for no reason; it must be related to the Demonic Sect.

Sure enough, after the Jade-Faced Lady finished speaking, she said softly, "I wonder how many members of the Demonic Sect are lurking around Liu Chang."

"The nine beauties surrounding the bewitching pig all practice secret techniques."

"Exceptionally skilled."

"As for their background, I suspect it is related to the leader of the Hehuan Sect. This person is of unknown gender, his whereabouts are mysterious, and no one in the martial arts world knows anything about him."

"The fact that Evil Valley was able to establish itself in Guangdong and Guangxi is absolutely inseparable from their covert support."

"so."

"If you, young master, want to eliminate the Valley of Villains, you must not only be wary of those major villains, but also of the Southern Han court's henchmen." There are over twenty thousand eunuchs.

If one or two of them have practiced unusual martial arts techniques like the Sunflower Manual, they would be extremely difficult to deal with.

The Demonic Cult has been deeply rooted here for a long time, and the decadent tradition of the Southern Han Dynasty has continued for decades. It is unknown how deeply it is involved with the Hehuan Sect. The forces here are extremely mixed, including scoundrels from both Taoism and Buddhism. The origins of those ten seductive women are unknown, seemingly the work of the Demonic Cult, but also seemingly related to the Great Ming Zun Sect.

Just then, the human head hanging at Lu Shanjun's waist suddenly opened its eyes. The human head was wrapped in cloth and placed in his satchel. The Indian demon monk Kumarajiva suddenly said, "This humble monk knows the details of that seductive pig."

Oh?
Upon hearing the demonic monk's words, Lu Shanjun took it out and placed it on the table, threatening, "Confess carefully, or I'll use your head as a chamber pot."

Kumarajiva sighed softly and said, "The alluring boar's real name is Parina Anahita."

"She was originally a disciple of the Great Ming Zunjiao Shanmu."

"But for some reason, after entering the Central Plains, he defected to the Demonic Sect."

"This woman is extremely skilled in seduction."

"She can be considered a master of her time, and she is also proficient in a secret art of manipulating other people's minds. Her bedroom arts are deeply rooted in the true teachings of the Hehuan School. Even if this humble monk were to encounter her, he might not be able to gain the upper hand."

"This woman has a close relationship with the leader of the Hehuan Sect."

"As for the ten seductive women around her, they were said to have been selected from the palace maids, but in reality, they had already been infiltrated by the Demonic Sect. They were just waiting for the right moment to be brought out into the open."

At this point, Kumarajiva paused for a moment before continuing, "This humble monk has only ever seen one person, the Enchanting Fox."

"Her movement skills are also very high, and she is skilled in illusionary sound and illusion techniques."

"It has some similarities to the Jade-Faced Lady's techniques."

A murderous aura emerged.

Kumarajiva seemed to realize something and immediately shut his mouth.

The Jade-Faced Lady's peach-blossom eyes flashed with cold light, revealing a hint of murderous intent towards the Enchanting Fox. The Ten Beauties, led by the Enchanting Pig, mostly operated in the Southern Han court, but occasionally appeared in the martial arts world. Among them, the Enchanting Ox, the Enchanting Sheep, and the Enchanting Fox were the most skilled in martial arts.

Kumarajiva also mentioned that the seductive ram's cultivation technique was the most powerful, as it was a true inheritance from the Hehuan Sect, and was probably no less powerful than the Hehuan Sect successors they had killed earlier.

"This is fucking a slut's den!" Duncan couldn't help but think to himself.

As for the popular folk legend of the 'Great Double' performance, which is the content of a group of live-action movies, Kumarajiva said it was an extremely sophisticated secret technique.

If we were to trace its origins, we could actually go back to Sun En during the Jin Dynasty.

However, it has little to do with this Taoist master, but rather with his unworthy disciples and grand-disciples.

The Sun En sect transformed sexual techniques into a religious ritual called "Zhongqi Zhenshu" or "Nuan Yang Heqi" (the union of male and female energies). It required believers to participate collectively on specific days (the nights of the new moon and full moon). The ritual began with a dance called "Dragon Entwined Tiger Playing," symbolizing the union of yin and yang, followed by group activities, claiming that this would "exonerate sins and eliminate disasters."

These believers openly engaged in sexual intercourse in the side rooms of the Taoist temple, claiming that regardless of social class or status, they "mingled like wild beasts," creating a chaotic scene. Their behavior was condemned as immoral and depraved by Confucianism and Buddhism.

As for the theory of sexual intercourse, there's no need to elaborate.

The renowned physician Sun Simiao denounced this practice, saying, "Those who are deluded waste their time and energy, harming their lives in the process."

"This lineage was acquired by the Demonic Sect and incorporated into the cultivation system of the Hehuan Sect."

Kumarajiva explained, "This is the technique of having many partners but not exposing them."

"This is a common approach for those with insufficient innate talent."

This branch of alchemy has been condemned as evil in historical records. If we trace its origins, it may be related to the Five-Stone Powder. The biggest cancer of the external alchemy school was probably the invention of the Five-Stone Powder.

"so?"

"What if I wanted to exterminate the Valley of Evil and the Joyful Union Sect?"

"Do we still have to fight against most of the Southern Han?"

Duncan's eyes narrowed slightly, a murderous intent surfacing. This world was truly a chaotic mess of demons.

He is a very fair person. Although he may not be able to make the world fair, he can fairly eliminate all humans, ghosts, and gods!

The Jade-Faced Lady said softly, "That's right."

"It's not difficult for you, young master, to destroy the Valley of Villains. You only need to eliminate a few of the most notorious villains."

"But we must exterminate the Hehuan Sect of the Demonic Cult."

"I'm afraid you'll have to take the head of Liu Chang, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty, first."

"Besides."

"Behind the Hehuan Sect is the Yin Yang Sect, which is the orthodox sect of the demonic sect. Although they have not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time, they might cause trouble for you, young master."

The Yin-Yang School was defeated during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period.

This period marked a watershed moment in the development of sexual techniques. At this time, one branch, using men and women as symbols of yin and yang, established itself as an independent practice system. After merging with various schools, it gradually evolved into the Hehuan School. The orthodox school, on the other hand, was based on the Yin-Yang School, which emphasized the yin and yang of heaven and earth. Its relationship with the school was very subtle, and it had not appeared in the world for a long time.

The Hehuan School has completely rotted away at its core.

If the Yin-Yang School of the pre-Qin period knew that their theories and ideas had been used in this way, they would probably jump out of their coffins and beat them up.

The Jade-Faced Lady's words were very straightforward.

If Duncan wanted to wipe out the Hehuan Sect, he would probably have to wipe out most of the Southern Han Dynasty.

In addition to the Hehuan Sect, there are also many members of the Demonic Sect, and there is also a woman named Fan Hu Zi whose background is unknown. She claims to be the incarnation of the Jade Emperor Daojun's beard and is said to be able to use demonic magic.

Such a person should have been killed by Taoist masters long ago.

But she's still alive and well.

Even Lu Shanjun, who was standing to the side and looked down on the Hehuan Sect, couldn't help but feel a bit more wary when Fan Huzi was mentioned.

The Great Witch of Our Time.

It is unknown whether this person is a successor of Taoism or a follower of shamanism.

Even the Jade-Faced Lady didn't dare to confront her directly in the past.

However, when Duncan heard all the rumors about Fan Hu Zi, he was reminded of the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb in the Investiture of the Gods. But this shouldn't be necessary. The mere absurd and licentious Southern Han could be wiped out with ease. Why would so many methods be needed?

"Then let's wipe out the Valley of Villains with lightning speed and cut off one of their arms!" the young man said solemnly.

This world is in complete chaos.

Chaos reigns in the mortal realm, chaos reigns in the heavens, and chaos reigns even in the underworld.

In times of true chaos and disorder, a swift and decisive action is needed. If enough people are killed, and the killings are carried out ruthlessly enough, the world will become much cleaner, and ordinary people can live in peace.

The young man's killing intent was resolute; he was determined to exterminate the Valley of Villains!
As for everything related to the Jade Emperor, he still needed to observe it secretly. Although there was no officially conferred title of Jade Emperor at this time, the people already talked about him as the Great Emperor.

This is very strange.

Duncan had no idea what the true god of this world was like.

The Southern Han emperor Liu Chang had many members of the Demonic Sect hidden around him, and several eunuchs he heavily relied on were said to be quite skilled in martial arts.

I'll find an opportunity another day to kill a few and see what they're made of.
