Zhu Tian: Starting from the Laughing Proud Yue Buqun

Chapter 326 Hidden Master, Divine Skill? Demonic Skill?

The two dragons were greatly alarmed and quickly looked around to find the source of the sound.

Then the two discovered an old man in a black robe fishing on the upper part of the riverbank.

There were people there!

Was that the old man speaking?!
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged a glance; both of them were experts who had reached the level of Innate Grandmaster.

They have a very keen sense of what's happening around them.

But while the two of them were washing away the bloodstains and chatting, they didn't notice the old man at all.

When did the other party appear there?
Was it before or after they came here?

If they had been there before them and the two dragons had never discovered them, that would be even more terrifying.

This shows that the old man's martial arts skills far surpassed those of the two of them.

"Senior, when did you arrive?"

Xu Ziling clasped his hands in a respectful greeting and inquired.

The old man in black robes slightly raised his head, revealing a face that was not old at all; on the contrary, his skin looked very firm, but he had a head of white hair.

"I have been here all along, little one, you have not yet answered my question."

The old man in black robes seemed very interested in the Sui Emperor mentioned by the two dragons.

"Senior, the Sui Emperor we just mentioned is indeed Yang Guang."

Xu Ziling was shocked; this senior had indeed been here all along.

A true master!
Unparalleled master!
Kou Zhong was secretly surprised; this was undoubtedly an extremely powerful being.

"Judging from what you two just said, it seems that the three grandmasters together failed to defeat Yang Guang?" the old man asked with interest.

Kou Zhong blinked, realizing that this great master seemed unaware of this momentous event that had shaken the martial arts world.

It seems this old man is a powerful figure who has been living in seclusion for a long time.

"Senior, just recently, Ning Daoqi, the number one free spirit in the Central Plains, Fu Cailin, the grandmaster of Goryeo, and Song Que, the leader of the Song Clan, were all defeated by Emperor Yang Guang of Sui."

This happened more than ten days ago; the entire martial arts world knows about it. How could you not know?

Kou Zhong said, probing the old man's identity.

A hint of surprise flickered deep in the old man's eyes.

He had heard of Yang Guang, but he was able to defeat three grandmasters.

This seemed completely different from the Yang Guang he had heard about.

It seems the martial arts world has changed a lot!

"Hehe, I've lived deep in the mountains for too long and haven't set foot in the martial world. I really don't know much about what you're talking about," the old man in black robes said with a faint smile.

Sure enough!

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling exchanged a glance and nodded secretly.

"May I ask your name, senior?" Xu Ziling wanted to know more about the other party's identity.

Such a senior figure possesses unfathomable strength and must have been an extremely famous master in his time.

The old man in black robes smiled slightly and shook his head: "You two little kids might not have heard of my name if I told you, so let's not mention it."

Both dragons were taken aback upon hearing this.

A strong person like the other must have been famous for many years.

If I told them, how could they not know?

The two were no longer greenhorns; they had a good understanding of the forces in the martial arts world and knew many renowned masters.

But this senior should also be able to discern their level of martial arts skill.

But he still said it like that, which made a thought pop into Xu Ziling's mind.

That means the old man in front of us may have lived for a very, very long time.

He wasn't a master of this era or the previous generation; he must have been from a much earlier time.

Because these younger generations really know very little about the masters from much earlier times.

"It is fate that we met today, and you have told me such an important matter. I will return the favor with this gift."

After the old man in black robes finished speaking, a secret manual flew down towards Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. Kou Zhong caught it and was stunned for a moment. Xu Ziling also glanced at it and saw that the manual was titled "The Great Method of Planting Demons in the Dao Heart"!
It's obvious at a glance that this is martial arts, and an extremely remarkable one at that.

The two individuals, possessing such opposing martial arts—the Way and the Demon—were able to combine their skills in a way that was unprecedented.

The two looked up, about to thank the old man in black robes.

But they found that there was no old man in black robes on the shore; there was no one there.

"Xiao Ling, have we encountered a ghost?"

Kou Zhong felt a chill run down his spine; it was as if the old man in black robes had never appeared at all.

There is no trace of where he fished.

Xu Ziling glared at Kou Zhong, then shook his head and said:

"That senior's martial arts skills are unprecedented. Young Master Zhong, you must not be rude."

Kou Zhong gave an awkward smile.

Xu Ziling looked around, bowed deeply towards the spot where the old man had appeared, and shouted:
"Thank you very much, senior, for passing on your divine skills to us. Xu Ziling will keep it in mind and will personally thank you again when we meet again in the future!"

"Me too!" Kou Zhong also bowed towards the spot where the old man was fishing.

The two immediately went ashore and used their inner energy to evaporate the moisture from their bodies, which dried their clothes.

"Xiao Ling, what kind of martial art is this? Demon Seed in the Dao Heart? Why does it feel so strange?"

Kou Zhong sat on the shore, gripping the divine skill in his hand tightly, and said.

"Hmm, just by looking at the name, this martial art seems to be a demonic martial art."

Xu Ziling examined the large characters and nodded slightly.

"Demonic martial arts? Isn't that incredibly evil?!" Kou Zhong's expression changed slightly.

The martial arts of the Demonic Sect have always been associated with negative terms such as evil, viciousness, ruthlessness, and demonic nature.

Simply put, demonic martial arts often affect the temperament of the practitioner, causing drastic changes in personality and greatly increasing the likelihood of becoming a murderer or other perverts.

These types of martial arts are very dangerous, but their power is very strong.

“Demonic martial arts have always been like this. If they weren’t evil and strange, could they still be called demonic martial arts?” Xu Ziling said.

“You’re right, so should we practice?” Kou Zhong hesitated.

Xu Ziling hesitated, as he disliked demonic martial arts.

This kind of martial art is very evil and strange, and he doesn't want to become a demon.

"Never mind, let me take a look at what's inside first!" Kou Zhong said, slapping his thigh.

Now, what they crave most is to become stronger, and now an opportunity has fallen from the sky, giving them a divine skill.

How can you hesitate like this?

As he spoke, Kou Zhong had already opened the manual, and he was immediately drawn to its contents.

The characters inside seemed to possess a magical power, completely drawing his mind into them.

He was plunged into a hallucination, where the black-robed old man appeared in the process of using the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique.

Xu Ziling saw Kou Zhong flipping through the document without saying a word, his pupils unfocused, as if he had fallen into a strange state.

His expression suddenly changed, and he quickly pushed Kou Zhong's body forcefully.

"Young Master Zhong! Young Master Zhong! What's wrong?! Say something!"

Xu Ziling shouted, but Kou Zhong seemed to have lost his soul, completely motionless and silent.

"This martial art is so bizarre! Just one glance was enough to make Young Master Zhong lose his mind!"

Xu Ziling's eyes widened in horror, realizing that the root of all this was this martial arts manual.

He snatched the manual from Kou Zhong's hand, intending to use it to wake Kou Zhong up.

However, after obtaining the secret manual, Xu Ziling also fell into the trap.

The two of them stood frozen in place, their eyes lifeless, as if they had lost all vitality, like walking corpses, motionless.
