In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 157 What can the Demon Master Pang Ban do?

Gu Shaoan did not say much about this.

Too many things happening in a short period of time can cause this. Even Gu Shaoan, whose mind was completely focused on fighting Fang Yeyu, did not notice Jiu Mokong's unusual movements.

They never expected that the weapons of the Xuanming Elders would contain hidden mechanisms.

In addition, Zhao Min was too quick-witted, and was able to think of attacking the Emei Sect in such a short time, which distracted Gu Shaoan and prevented him from taking action to capture them all as soon as he calmed down.

However, Gu Shaoan felt a slight sense of relief after glancing at Zhang Wuji, who was being held by Zhang Songxi.

"As long as this guy isn't lost."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Shaoan said, "After Sect Leader Song brings your sect's young hero Zhang back to Wudang this time, it would be best not to let him go down the mountain for a while, otherwise there may be other troubles."

When Gu Shaoan spoke, the group was taken aback.

Song Yuanqiao glanced at Zhang Wuji and then asked, "Does Junior Nephew Gu mean that the reason the people from the Demon Master's Palace are targeting us this time is because they're after Wuji?"

Gu Shaoan shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, but those people from the Demon Master's Palace wanted to take Young Hero Zhang away before they left, so Young Hero Zhang must be of great use to the Demon Master's Palace."

"Although we failed this time, it's hard to guarantee that the people from the Demon Master's Palace won't give up their evil intentions."

Upon hearing this, Song Yuanqiao nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Junior Nephew Gu. After returning to Wudang Sect, I will have Wuji cultivate diligently with Master on Wudang Mountain."

Gu Shaoan nodded in acknowledgment and then said nothing more.

Others may not understand why the siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects would attract the attention of the Demon Master Palace, which is far away in the Great Yuan Kingdom.

But Gu Shaoan knew the truth.

It is also known that the Demon Master Palace's scheme to stir up trouble in the Great Wei Kingdom is far from simple.

One of their purposes was to target Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Songxi, and several of the Seven Heroes of Wudang, as well as Master Kongzhi of Shaolin.

Although Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Songxi and other Wudang heroes did not receive the true transmission of Wudang's supreme mental cultivation method, "Pure Yang Wuji Gong".

The martial art they are currently practicing is the Wudang Nine Yang Skill, created by Zhang Sanfeng in combination with the Nine Yang Manual.

Although it is far less profound than the original, it is still one of the purest and most powerful pure Yang attribute internal skills in the world.

Furthermore, Zhang Sanfeng combined his own knowledge with the Taoist internal energy cultivation techniques of Wudang Nine Yang Skill, giving it the unique characteristics of balance, tranquility, and enduring power.

Master Kongzhi of Shaolin Temple, whose mastery of the Shaolin Nine Yang Skill combined the masculine energy of Buddhism.

These two types of Nine Yang Skills are different. One is the orthodox Taoist style, gentle and profound; the other is the true Buddhist style, fierce and domineering.

Although they are no longer in their original form, they are undoubtedly the pinnacle of the purest and most yang-oriented internal cultivation methods of the time, containing the purest yang essence in the world.

This is precisely the key nourishment needed for the Demon Master Pang Ban's unparalleled demonic technique—the "Great Demon Seed Cultivation Technique of the Dao Heart".

As far as Gu Shaoan knew, the Demon Master Palace's "Great Method of Planting Demons in the Heart of the Dao" was based on the idea of using the demon seed as the root and the Dao heart as the guide, with the yin and yang stimulating each other, and the demon seed and the Dao heart mutually verifying each other, thereby gaining insight into the heavens and man.

Its cultivation process is extremely dangerous and requires very demanding external conditions.

In particular, if one wants to elevate demonic arts to the perfect state, completely melt the demonic seed, enter the Dao from the demonic path, and reach the crucial step of shattering the void, it is even more necessary to draw upon the purest yang energy in the world to condense into a Dao heart, like a pure yang fire ignited deep within the ancient ice, using extremely pure yang to overcome the extreme wickedness of yin demons, and ultimately achieve the perfect balance of yin and yang complementing each other and the unity of Dao and demon.

Song Yuanqiao and Kong Zhi, who practiced the Shaolin Nine Yang Skill and the Wudang Nine Yang Skill respectively, were undoubtedly the most suitable candidates for Pang Ban to cultivate his furnace.

Before fleeing, however, Kumokong did not attack Song Yuanqiao or Kongzhi, but instead set his sights on Zhang Wuji.

Gu Shaoan speculated that Zhao Min and the others probably already knew that Zhang Wuji possessed the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

The Nine Yang Divine Skill is extremely powerful and yang. If we talk about martial arts in the world, the most suitable one to be used as the furnace for the Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Method is a martial artist who cultivates the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

If Kumokong and the others had just brought Zhang Wuji back to the Demon Master's Palace for Pang Ban, with Zhang Wuji, who was cultivating the Nine Yang Divine Skill, as a furnace, it would probably not take more than a few years for Pang Ban to complete the Dao Heart Demon Seed Great Method upon emerging from seclusion. In the following years, he would make further breakthroughs and thus glimpse the Celestial Realm.

In the past, Gu Shaoan would have been completely indifferent to Zhang Wuji's life or death.

But that's different now.

He had already killed Pang Ban's personal disciple. If Pang Ban were to cultivate the "Dao Xin Seed Demon Technique" to perfection through Zhang Wuji, it would undoubtedly be creating trouble for Gu Shaoan himself.

Just then, He Taichong of the Kunlun Sect suddenly asked, "Master, just now I saw your sect's young hero Gu using what seemed to be the 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms' against his opponent. Isn't the 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms' a secret technique of the Beggar Clan? Why does your sect's disciple know a secret technique that the Beggar Clan has already lost?"

When this topic came up, everyone else turned to look at Abbess Miejue.

If He Taichong hadn't mentioned it, everyone else would have almost forgotten about it.

After glancing at He Taichong, who had spoken up, Abbess Miejue said, "Our Emei Sect's founder, Guo Xiang, was the daughter of Guo Jing, the great hero who guarded Xiangyang. Guo Jing's signature skill was the 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms,' so it's only natural that our founder, Guo Xiang, inherited this skill."

"It's just that the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is extremely difficult to master. Over the years, no disciple of our Emei Sect has been able to successfully master it. Therefore, the general public in the martial arts world knows very little about the fact that the Emei Sect possesses this unique skill."

Upon hearing what Abbess Miejue said, the others thought for a moment and nodded, their faces showing sudden realization.

Finally, Abbess Miejue glanced at He Taichong and said, "Does Sect Leader He still have any questions? Should we take some time later to bring Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, to me and ask him if it was someone from my Emei Sect who stole the Beggars' Sect's 'Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms'?"

He Taichong's face darkened, and he was about to retort.

But glancing at Gu Shaoan, who was smiling silently to the side, and then thinking about the current strength of Abbess Miejue and the others, her face immediately stiffened.

She then said somewhat awkwardly, "Master, you misunderstand. How could I have thought that? I was just curious, that's why I asked. Please don't be offended!"

What's wrong with a father passing on his martial arts skills to his daughter?

Even Shi Huolong, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, couldn't find a single fault with this reasoning.

This is why, in recent years, Abbess Miejue was only concerned with the martial arts contained in the treasure map hidden in the Heaven Sword.

Instead of focusing their attention on the advanced martial arts of other schools.

The lineage has a source, and even if it is used openly in front of the world, the source is still legitimate and upright, and no one can find fault with it. At most, they can only admire the profound heritage of the Emei Sect.

If Gu Shaoan and Abbess Miejue were displaying martial arts from other sects in the martial arts world today, those with ulterior motives would only secretly marvel at the power of those martial arts.

They even accused the Emei Sect of stealing martial arts from other sects and secretly made trouble for them.

After an incense stick had burned, Zhang Songxi and the others from several other factions returned to Bright Peak while everyone waited.

Upon approaching, Zhang Songxi immediately spoke up: "It's confirmed, everyone has already been evacuated from the foot of the mountain."

Upon hearing this news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

People are always apprehensive about the unknown.

Knowing that the other party was from the Great Yuan Kingdom's Demon Master Palace, not to mention He Taichong, the leaders of several second-rate forces like the Five Elders of Kongtong, even Song Yuanqiao and Kong Zhi, who had the backing of Wudang and Shaolin, dared not underestimate them.
After a brief respite, Master Kongzhi suddenly let out a cold snort.

"It seems that in a few days, I will have to go to the capital to ask the Divine Marquis of the Dragon Guard Manor how he managed to allow the people of the Demon Master Palace and the Great Yuan Kingdom to pass through the border with so many bows and arrows."

The Great Wei Kingdom and the Great Yuan Kingdom were rivals. For hundreds of years, in addition to the large army stationed at the border, there were also experts from the imperial court stationed there.

Although neither the Great Wei Kingdom nor the Great Yuan Kingdom prohibited trade between the two countries, the inspections were extremely strict.

At the same time, allowing thousands of people from the Great Yuan Kingdom to pass through the border was impossible; it would be impossible for the border guards not to have committed any dereliction of duty.

Song Yuanqiao, standing to the side, shook his head and said, "If you are determined to plan, breaking it down into smaller parts, it is normal that the border guards will not be able to find out the problem."

There are always more ways than difficulties.

Unless the Great Wei and Great Yuan kingdoms prohibit trade, it is not difficult for either the people of the Great Yuan or the Great Wei to cross the border.

Hearing Song Yuanqiao's words, Kongzhi of Shaolin also realized that it was somewhat unreasonable to hold him accountable for this point.

With the formidable enemy retreated and the Ming Cult destroyed, after a brief respite, the group naturally began to discuss how to deal with the Ming Cult.

At the invitation of the leaders of the various sects, a portion of the six major sects headed towards the Bright Hall on Bright Peak to begin looting the spoils. Gu Shaoan, Yang Yan, and Zhou Zhiruo showed little interest in these loot.

While everyone else was busy at work, the three of them remained standing outside the main hall.

Gu Shaoan closed his eyes, his mind constantly recalling and reviewing his battle with Fang Yeyu, and sorting out the shortcomings of the previous battle.

From the moment he joined the Emei Sect and truly considered himself an Emei disciple, Gu Shaoan's goal over the past few years has always been Fang Yeyu.

Therefore, over the past seven years, Gu Shaoan has been cultivating in a state of constant self-satisfaction.

Today, after successfully defeating and even killing Fang Yeyu, the prodigy martial artist known as the "Little Demon Master," Gu Shaoan did not feel much joy.

Instead, it has a sense of entitlement to it.

Seven years of hard work, plus the proficiency panel and achievement point lottery.

If Gu Shaoan is still unable to defeat Fang Yeyu, he might as well go and bang his head against a block of tofu.

Upon hearing Gu Shaoan's soft sigh, Yang Yan and Zhou Zhiruo turned to look at him.

After Gu Shaoan opened his eyes, Zhou Zhiruo handed her water bottle to him.

After Gu Shaoan drank the water, he spoke up: "I heard that Pang Ban entered the martial world thirty years ago and has been a powerful figure in the Great Yuan Kingdom for sixty years."

"Later, he went into the Great Wei Kingdom to challenge masters everywhere. It wasn't until more than ten years ago that he made an agreement with Yan Jing'an, the master of Cihang Jingzhai, to retire for twenty years and then he stopped going into the Great Wei Kingdom."

"By all accounts, he's roughly the same generation as Master Zhang of Wudang."

"Now that we've killed Pang Ban's personal disciple, I'm afraid the Demon Master's Palace won't let this go easily?"

Yang Yan nodded and said, "I reckon there will be a lot of trouble later."

Gu Shaoan smiled gently at what the two women said.

Both of them knew the consequences of Gu Shaoan killing Fang Yeyu today. How could Gu Shaoan not know?

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Shaoan said, "Killing Fang Yeyu will indeed cause some trouble, but trouble is something that cannot be avoided in the martial world."

"That Fang Yeyu is from the Great Yuan Kingdom, and he is backed by the Demon Master Palace."

"Our Emei Sect is a Jianghu force within the Great Wei Kingdom, so our positions are inherently different."

"Not to mention that Fang Yeyu and his group came with murderous intent and stood on the opposite side of our Emei Sect. Faced with such a proud martial artist who is an enemy rather than a friend, it is better to kill him now than to keep him alive and let him become a threat."

"As for Pang Ban, there are still two years left because of the twenty-year agreement with Cihang Jingzhai."

"Two years from now, my strength will not be limited to what it is now."

"If that sorcerer really comes, it will be uncertain who will be stronger."

As far as Gu Shaoan knew, Pang Ban was currently in seclusion.

It will take two years before they can leave the country.

The first thing he did after emerging from seclusion was to plan his alchemy process so that his "Great Demon Seed Cultivation Technique" could reach perfection.

In other words, Gu Shaoan also has a few years left.

As long as Gu Shaoan's strength can improve again in the next few years, what can even the Demon Master Pang Ban do?

At that point, it's not necessarily a matter of who needs to avoid whom.

That's how the martial arts world is.

If you want peace and quiet, learn from the Free and Unfettered Sect and find a secluded mountain forest to live on your own. Don't get involved in the struggles of the martial world, don't seek personal gain, and naturally no one will bother you.

To establish oneself in the martial arts world, one must either decline amidst repeated troubles.

Alternatively, they may become stronger with each setback, eventually standing at the pinnacle of the martial arts world, where no one dares to provoke them.

If the Emei Sect wants to flourish and climb higher step by step, there will inevitably be many similar incidents happening today.

Being overly compassionate is never a wise choice.

After thinking it over, Gu Shaoan had made up his mind.

After returning to the Emei Sect in a while and cultivating the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" to a certain level, I will set off for the capital to try to get my hands on the "Invincible Vajra Divine Skill" from Gu Santong.

Finally, after chatting with Zhou Zhiruo and Yang Yan for a few minutes, Gu Shaoan immersed himself in the system.

The system prompts that had been appearing earlier were brought up.

[Achievement Completed: Destroy the Ming Cult, Achievement Points +1000]

[Slay an elite Qi Condensation Realm martial artist from the Demon Master's Palace, earning 300 achievement points]

[Slay a Qi Condensation Realm martial artist, a prodigy from the Demon Master Palace, and gain 500 achievement points.]

[Slay an elite Qi Condensation Realm martial artist from the Great Yuan Kingdom, achievement points +300]

[Achievement Completed, Turning the Tide, Achievement Points +1000]

Gu Shaoan's eyes flashed as he looked at the several messages that popped up one after another.

Gu Shaoan earned 3,700 achievement points just from dealing with Zhao Min and the others.

Adding the achievement points Gu Shaoan has gained in the past few days, his total achievement points have reached four thousand.

"As expected of a major battle, the achievements gained in just a few days are almost equivalent to the achievement points gained in the previous six months."

Immediately after exhaling a breath of stale air, a thought crossed Gu Shaoan's mind.

next second.

Once all achievement points were reduced to zero, the lottery wheel began to spin rapidly in front of Gu Shaoan.

"Four consecutive draws, hopefully I'll get something good!"

Looking at the wildly spinning lottery wheel in front of him, Gu Shaoan felt even more nervous than when he was facing Fang Yeyu before.

Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Black Jade Essence.

Congratulations to the player for obtaining a 10-year power-up card (superior constitution)!

Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Martial Arts Enlightenment Card

Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Bodhi Serpent Gallbladder

A series of notification messages popped up in front of Gu Shaoan's eyes.

After scanning the prompts in front of him, Gu Shaoan's gaze finally settled on the "Martial Arts Enlightenment Card".

"They actually managed to pull that thing out?"

　Because some readers felt that the prompts in the middle affected their reading experience, we will now collect all the information together after the event is over and do a unified statistical analysis.
