Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 192 Master is shocked, the past events of Burning Void

"Therefore, war is dangerous and life is unpredictable. Never be careless until you have a clear understanding of your opponent's true intentions."

Lu Wubing let out a long breath, his limbs and bones vibrated rapidly, and life force washed over his entire body like a torrent.

Wisps of emerald green mist, like fine rain, splashed from his body, then turned into hissing dust that fell onto the water's surface.

Before it even hit the water, he flicked his sleeve, gathering the dust into a ball and shaping it into a fine pellet. In the blink of an eye, he sent it plunging into the forest floor, seven or eight zhang deep.

"No illness, are you alright...?"

As Ouyang watched the waves in the lake subside, his shock subsided slightly. Then he saw Lu Wubing's face turn emerald green, and he was greatly alarmed, rushing forward.

Before he could finish asking the question, he discovered that Lu Wubing had completely expelled the toxins from his body, and even the slippery, sticky mental infection had been swept away.

In the blink of an eye, her entire demeanor became clear and bright, as radiant as the moon.

"That's how it's solved?"

"It's resolved. The poison attack from the Green Serpent before its death was indeed vicious and ruthless. I suspect that even the finest steel would crumble into dust the moment it was touched by this aura."

However, my Huichuntang's Six Yang Divine Needle Technique is righteous and powerful, capable of resisting all tangible and intangible evil energies and demonic intents of heaven and earth, so it cannot harm me.

Lu Wubing couldn't say it outright, but it was thanks to the infinite vitality of the [Form] character seal. With limited human poison, it could fight against the infinite vitality of heaven and earth. Even though the Green Snake King had refined his extraordinary poison for a lifetime, he still couldn't match it.

He was just using the Six Yang Divine Needles as a pretext, making it public so that he could give others a logically consistent explanation.

Besides, as his own master, even if Ouyang Zheng secretly suspected something was amiss, he wouldn't delve into the details; he would automatically fill in the blanks with a "correct" answer in his mind.

"Alright, back in Jiangzhou, I even made you give up practicing the Six Yang Divine Needle Technique. It seems that even though I consider myself knowledgeable, I have made the mistake that the arrogant often make, falling into the trap of 'insightful perception'."

The world is vast and full of wonders; we must never be complacent and stagnant. I have learned something from this.

When Ouyang Zheng heard that the Lu family's Six Yang Divine Needles were so miraculous, and having personally verified Lu Wubing's extraordinary acupuncture skills in the past, he was overjoyed and no longer had any doubts.

He was currently holding up a pale green face, and his beard was fluttering as he laughed.

“Master, the detoxification cannot be delayed. The Green Snake’s methods of using poison are extraordinary. The toxins on the physical body are one thing, but they go straight into the mind and consciousness. If there is any delay, it will damage the foundation of martial arts. Please allow me to administer acupuncture.”

"Uncle Shen, Uncle Guanghan, Uncle Yunyi, Senior Sister Xiaolan, Senior Sister Xinzhu, those thieves on the mountain, please take action yourselves and do not let a single one escape."

Shen Liancheng laughed heartily: "Nephew Lu, please continue to heal your injuries. Now that the entire army of the Demonic Sect's Ten Thousand Beasts Hall has been wiped out, and you alone have slain all the tough guys, it's time for us old bones to stretch our muscles."

Ouyang Lan blushed and thought to herself, "Uncle Shen is a very nice person, but who is he calling an old man?"

She turned and exchanged a glance with Shen Xinzhu, and the two of them, laughing, brandished their swords and charged towards the foot of Mingyue Sect Mountain.

Just moments before, the female disciples of the Bright Moon Sect were suffering a crushing defeat, with despair lingering in their hearts.

The next moment, reinforcements descended from the sky, all the poisonous snakes on the mountain died, the Green Snake King and the Dragon God died instantly, and all the demons attacking the mountain turned and fled.

The situation is changing too fast.

So much so that the disciples of the mountain gate were almost caught off guard.

However, after only a brief moment of hesitation, Senior Sister Xuanhe let out a delicate cry and charged forward with her sword.

All the female disciples shouted "Kill!" in unison and swept down the mountain.

The two forces joined forces and, in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, wiped out hundreds of black-clad thugs.

"Finish off the sword."

Xuanhe's moon-white Taoist robe was stained with blood, and her Taoist hair was disheveled, but she seemed oblivious, her almond-shaped eyes still filled with murderous intent.

He stepped forward coldly and pierced the heart of the black-clad man lying on the ground with his sword.

Lu Wubing turned his head and nodded secretly.

He thought that if the Demonic Sect's Ten Thousand Beasts Hall hadn't attacked so hastily and with such a large force, the Bright Moon Sect could have held out for a long time with its fighting strength.

Don't be fooled by the delicate appearance of the senior and junior sisters of the Bright Moon Sect. They are not naive fools who have never experienced death. When it comes to killing thieves, they are also full of murderous intent.

His combat experience seems to be even stronger than that of the disciples of the Tianxing Sect.

No wonder.

In the past, the Wangtianya lineage prided itself on its pure cultivation, and its disciples were protected by their masters and mistresses.

Apart from a few disciples who went down the mountain for training, the rest of them were like fledglings hiding in their nests, having never experienced any real bloody battles.

The Bright Moon Sect has a long-standing tradition of sending disciples down the mountain for training.

The ancestral Jinxiufang and Qingjingtang shops are found everywhere.

They not only had to weave brocade and refine medicine to make money, but also had to deal with people from all walks of life in the martial arts world and the imperial court.

One cannot avoid the struggle against all sorts of wolves and tigers.

In the world of martial arts, one is often not in control of one's own destiny; wherever there is profit, there will be conflict.

Each of the disciples who descended the mountain was, in the beginning, a naive little lamb who knew nothing.

After experiencing several life-or-death battles, they will grow up quickly.

This is something the Heavenly Star Sect should learn from.

"Alright, Master, as long as you remember how this zither music works and keep it in mind at all times, the snake venom will no longer be able to harm you."

Lu Wubing took out three more jade bottles from his bosom and handed them over, saying with a smile, "Disciple did not return empty-handed from Dongjun this time. Master, please take these Purple Heart Pills and use them first."

"Purple Heart Pill?"

Ouyang Zheng was overjoyed.

Purple Heart Pill and Golden Jade Pill were originally the most exclusive cultivation medicines of the Heavenly Star Sect.

One involves cultivating the mind and vital energy; the other involves cultivating the body and blood.

At its peak, the disciples had ample elixirs to aid them, resulting in rapid growth in their cultivation and exceptional swordsmanship.

Without the help of these two elixirs, it's hard to say whether the Heavenly Star Sect would have achieved its past brilliance.

However, he knew that for many years, the Tianxing Sect had lacked this rare medicine, which caused them to fall behind step by step, leading to the sect's decline day by day.

Ouyang Zheng saw this and was very anxious.

But what could he do?

As one of the Three Divine Peaks... If Ziyang Sect sends a powerful elder, they can fight him to a draw, not to mention the fourth generation Supreme Elder and the Sect Leader Bi Fenkong.

In terms of martial prowess, the Tianxing Sect and the Ziyang Sect are simply no match.

The reason why it hasn't been completely annexed over the years is because the sect was too powerful in the past, which led people to misjudge the strength of the Tianxing Sect.

This is just like the Lu family of Jiangzhou. More than ten years after the death of their patriarch Lu Chengyun, they were still able to intimidate people in the martial arts world, who dared not make the slightest mistake.

Later, when the Donghai Sect came to their door with their designs on the sword manual, they tested them from all sides, engaging in robbery and plunder, even bullying Huichuntang, but no one stepped forward.

Only then did they mobilize all their forces, intending to swallow Huichuntang whole.

The Lu family of Jiangzhou is like this.

The same applies to the Heavenly Star Sect.

The Ziyang Sect gradually encroached upon the territory from all sides, then sent people to probe the mountain, and finally dispatched powerful experts to force them to come to the door, pressing forward step by step...

If it weren't for Lu Wubing's powerful rise, the Tianxing Sect would probably have been torn apart and ripped into pieces by the Ziyang Sect through various means, and then swallowed whole.

It can only be said that man proposes, God disposes; life is unpredictable, and no one can say for sure how things will change.

"I can't accept this. You should keep it for yourself, Wubing. Although your swordsmanship is so powerful that even I can't understand it, it would be good if your internal energy cultivation could improve even a little."

Ouyang Zheng himself was known for his formidable talent in Qi Refining. He knew better than anyone how much a martial artist's combat power would increase with each level of cultivation.

He could tell that his youngest disciple's sword intent was extremely powerful, even stronger than his own.

Moreover, his physique is also very strange, especially his qi and blood, which are extremely strong.

Even when you stand close enough, you can vaguely sense that powerful and vast pressure.

It was as if the person standing before them was not a delicate and refined young man, but a majestic dragon soaring across the sky.

The mere thought of being enemies with the young disciple before him filled Ouyang Zhengdu with an almost suffocating sense of oppression that terrified him.

This perception was only possible because he gained a little insight from observing the stars and guarding himself every night with the sword intent of the Purple Star Divine Sword, which allowed him to discover a clue.

It is estimated that even experts from other sects, who are much stronger than him, might not be able to detect it.

But precisely because of this, the strong should become even stronger.

The best course of action is to have him take as many Purple Heart Pills as possible to rapidly increase his cultivation level.

The fact that the Tianxing Sect has such a disciple in the world is truly a great blessing.

How could I possibly hold my disciple back in terms of drug supply?

“Master, I have used hundreds of pills and still have some on me. If they were easy to carry, even if I took out hundreds of bottles, it would only be a drop in the ocean.”

Lu Wubing felt a slight pang of sadness.

This old man is used to being poor.

It's like someone who hasn't eaten meat for years, seeing a piece of meat and still trying to pass it around.

Ugh……

"Don't worry, Master, you can use these sixty pills first. This time, I practically emptied Donghai County. Guess how many Purple Flame Shells and Blood Jade Corals the sect has now?"

"How much? Several thousand kilograms? Or tens of thousands of kilograms?"

Ouyang Zheng's eyes lit up, and his breathing became rapid.

"There were a total of 600,000 catties, 200,000 catties of purple flame shell heart, and 400,000 catties of blood jade coral. We loaded them onto seven boats and transported them ashore."

It took fifty horse-drawn carts and several transfers to finally haul the goods back up the mountain.

Lu Wubing didn't keep him in suspense. He was afraid that the sect leader might not be able to handle too much stimulation, and it wouldn't be good if he made a scene here at the Bright Moon Sect.

"what?"

Ouyang Zheng exclaimed in surprise, almost jumping up and down.

His once sharp, long face turned blood red.

His whole body began to tremble.

"Junior Brother Ouyang, are you seriously injured?"

Just as Master Yuncang finished adjusting his breathing, he heard Ouyang Zheng roar, and almost choked on his own breath.

He quickly leaped over and saw that Ouyang's face was red. He thought the poison had changed its nature and asked in surprise.

"fine."

Ouyang Zheng quickly cupped his hands in greeting, his face still flushed.

So much so that Lu Wubing couldn't tell whether he was so excited that his blood was rushing to his head or so embarrassed that his old face was turning red.

However, having served as the head of the Tianxing Sect for so many years, his social skills were already at their peak.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister Yun Cang. I was just a little shocked to hear that my disciple killed Gu Taihe, the fourth-generation elder of the Ziyang Sect, outside Mingyang City."

You might not believe it, but not only did Gu Taihe lead Zuo Kuang and others to Mingyang City, but they also joined forces with Xie Qinglong of the Pai Gang and Xue Liang, the Southeast Garrison Commander of the Golden Scale Guard, to besiege my disciple alone.

Fortunately, with the help of the Heavenly Star and the Undying, Wu Bing swiftly and decisively slew three Innate Realm experts. He then killed several more Thousand-Household Commanders and First-Rank Officials, suppressing the surrounding forces and securing Mingyang City, as well as Jin Yutang.

These were the things Lu Wubing said to him while he was being treated with the Six Yang Divine Needles.

As the head of the family, one cannot be ignorant of the affairs within the family.

I've been worried about this for a while now; it's not a good thing.

After saying a few hurried words, Lu Wubing, who was in charge of killing but not burying, and who didn't care how shocked his master was, handed over the Purple Heart Pill.

If eliminating powerful external enemies and stabilizing the situation in Tianxing is the obvious course of action, then...

Therefore, acquiring a massive amount of precious medicines in Donghai County would be the key to the Tianxing Sect's rise to power.

One person's strength may only allow them to maintain the status quo.

However, when a sect becomes powerful and its disciples break through to new heights, it has the potential to dominate the world.

I am so unworthy to have such great fortune as the sect leader.

But since it's a blessing, it's not good to just talk about it carelessly.

The Bright Moon Sect can provide support and assistance.

In general, the Tianxing Sect must first become strong itself before it can help its allies.

Therefore, we cannot go into details about the Purple Heart Pill and the Golden Jade Pill for the time being.

"This is happening!"

Master Yuncang was a very kind old Taoist nun. She was over sixty years old and had a gentle appearance and a very calm demeanor.

Just by looking at his appearance, one can immediately tell that he must be a person of high moral character and virtue.

This usually gentle and serene old lady listened with her eyebrows twitching and her face contorting.

Clearly, he could no longer suppress the shock in his heart.

"You mean, Junior Nephew Lu killed that old bastard Gu Taihe, and also killed the Overlord of the Heavenly Hand, Zuo Kuang. No, and the Southeast Commander of the Golden Scale Guard as well?"

As for the name of Jie Qinglong of the Pai Gang, Master Yuncang didn't even want to mention it.

That man, relying on the large number of his men, was often unscrupulous in his actions.

However, because he has a powerful government background and is extremely strong, no one dares to offend him, let alone beat him.

Such a person dies, and that's that; it's not a pity, but rather something to be applauded.

However, the Golden Scale Guard represents the power of the imperial court.

Those who kill them will find it difficult to clean up the mess.

The Ziyang Sect is an ally of the Three Divine Peaks. Although they secretly plot against each other, they have never openly broken ties, let alone killed each other's elders and experts in broad daylight.

After this incident, the Tianxing Sect and the Ziyang Sect became formal enemies.

So, what should the Bright Moon Sect do next?

The question lingered in the old nun's mind for only half a second before she made her decision.

Not to mention the grievances and frustrations I've suffered at the Ziyang Sect over the years.

Take, for example, the attitudes of the Ziyang Sect and the Tianxing Sect during the Wanshoutang's attack on the mountain and city.

They are allies as well.

The Ziyang Sect watched the spectacle from the sidelines, while secretly stabbing their own allies in the back and plotting against them time and time again.

As for the Tianxing Sect, the sect leader personally led the team, and all the elite disciples of the sect rushed to the scene, almost mobilizing the entire sect's strength.

In the end, they turned the tide and saved the Bright Moon Sect.

This kindness can never be repaid, no matter how hard one tries.

So, is there even a need to choose a stance?
Of course, there are also concerns.

Master Yuncang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Killing him is fine, but as an ally and a senior, he disregarded his status and shamelessly went to Mingyang City to cause trouble. His heart is despicable."

However, since my nephew killed Gu Taihe and Zuo Kuang, there is one thing I must be wary of.

"Please enlighten me, Senior Master."

Lu Wubing quickly asked for his opinion, and he roughly guessed what the old lady wanted to say.

However, this is not the time to be witty or show off.

My behavior today has been somewhat excessive.

One person's strength overshadowed the entire Bright Moon Sect.

Continuing to be so sharp and aggressive is ultimately not a good thing... After all, these are allies, they are our own people.

We're one of our own, no pretentious stuff.

Seeing Lu Wubing's gentle and refined demeanor, without the slightest hint of arrogance, Master Yuncang was pleased and smiled even more kindly.

“You child, there’s no need for such formalities. This old woman is of meager strength and has little knowledge, so how could I possibly offer any guidance?”
However, I do know a little about Senior Brother Bi Fenkong.

After laughing, Master Yuncang's expression turned serious.

"How should I put it? In terms of talent and aptitude, he can be described as a rare gem among talents, one in a hundred years, within the Heavenly God Peak."

In previous years, he felt that the Ziyang Sect's martial arts techniques were too violent and could not be considered the best... His disciples were too impetuous in their practice and did not know how to restrain themselves, often causing trouble in the martial arts world and ruining their reputation.

So he secluded himself for forty-nine days, quietly comprehending all the techniques within the sect, and innovating upon them.

He gleaned the ultimate opposite from the Great Sun Blazing Yang Technique and compiled a book called the "Dark Sun Manual".

From then on, the disciples cultivated the external blazing sun and comprehended the internal dark sun, their cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, and masters emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

Originally, the Ziyang Sect and my Tianxing Sect and Mingyue Sect were roughly equal, and in fact, the Ziyang Sect had one less innate level than the Mingyue Sect.

But as you now know, the Ziyang Sect has three Innate Realm Elders alone, and Senior Brother Bi Fenkong broke through the Innate Realm barrier three years ago; we don't know what level he has reached now.”

"It's so."

The thought that Bi Fenkong was able to create his own manual not only made Ouyang Zheng feel uneasy, but also greatly surprised Lu Wubing.

Even a genius can master the divine skills and treasures that are already in existence.

Bi Fenkong, on the other hand, was able to push the Ziyang Sect's most powerful martial arts technique to its ultimate level.

They could even go a step further and create an even more powerful technique.

Such comprehension and natural talent make him an exceptional individual, no matter where he is placed.

"The battle at Huling Pass that day?"

Ouyang Zheng frowned deeply.

His complexion was extremely unpleasant.

Master Yuncang sighed, "Junior Brother Ouyang, you've realized it too."

That's right. In the battle at Tiger Ridge Pass that day, Brother Bi used all his skills, but he probably didn't even use 30%.

In the eyes of the world, his ability to resist two innate masters of the demonic sect with the unparalleled power of the Six Yang Burning Sky was already a remarkable feat.

However, according to information secretly obtained by my Bright Moon Sect, this person's strength is far more than that.

If he had truly intended to fight, he could have slaughtered all the elders of the Demonic Sect that day.

Master Yuncang turned to look at Fairy Guanghan. Seeing her junior sister swiftly moving around the Bright Moon Sect with her sword, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes.

However, this glimmer of hope was quickly suppressed by worry. She lowered her voice slightly and whispered, "What I want to say is not how amazing Senior Brother Bi's cultivation is or how profound his strength is, but rather his temperament."

In his youth, Bi Fenkong's exceptional talent was not yet apparent; he was outstanding, but not exceptionally gifted.

He has three senior brothers ahead of him as candidates for sect leader.

However, as time passed, those three senior brothers, who were also considered geniuses, either perished at the hands of the demonic sect or died mysteriously in disputes. All the disciples in the sect strongly supported Senior Brother Bi, making him the undisputed young sect leader of the Ziyang Sect.

From then on, things spiraled out of control.

This person has power in his hands, and even his master, Master Baiyang, has no say in the sect.

After a dispute, Master Baiyang also died at the hands of the Demonic Sect.

Master Yuncang shook her head: "The past is untraceable, but there are always clues."

"Nephew Lu, what do you think this person would do if he learned that Gu Taihe and Zuo Kuang were killed by you?"

……
