In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 178 The martial world is so vast, we should go out and explore more.
As Gu Shaoan released his grip, Wen Zaixuan's body collapsed limply to the ground like mud.

At the moment Wen Zaixuan's body fell to the ground, Qu Yang seemed to feel the gaze from behind the veil fall upon him.

In an instant, Qu Yang felt as if the blood in his body was colder than the cold wind and snow outside, freezing his body in that instant.

The next second, Gu Shaoan raised his right hand, and the true essence in his body circulated according to the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" mental technique. A surge of powerful yet flexible energy burst forth as Gu Shaoan raised his right hand.

Immediately afterwards, the corpses of all the Sun Moon Cult disciples inside the house, including Wen Zaixuan, were forcibly pulled up by a force.

When Gu Shaoan flipped his hand and pushed forward, the corpses seemed to be forcibly thrown out of the door.

With a flick of his long sleeves, the inn door that had been knocked open earlier instantly closed again.

This once again kept the snow that was constantly pouring into the house outside out of the door.

Then, Gu Shaoan turned around without saying a word and walked back to where the campfire had been before, then sat down against the wall.

It was as if nothing had just happened.

Seeing that Gu Shaoan did not make a move, Qu Yang's heart finally settled down.

Then, Qu Feiyan bowed to Gu Shaoan and said, "This old man thanks you for your help, young hero."

Gu Shaoan didn't even open his eyes: "I didn't make a move just now because of you, but because these people from the Sun Moon Cult were pushing their luck and trying to harm ordinary people and innocent people."

"If one day I find you continuing to do evil and harm others, your fate will be the same as those people just now."

Gu Shaoan felt no ill will toward Qu Yang or even Qu Feiyan standing to the side.

But as Wen Zaixuan said.

As the head of the ten elders of the Sun Moon Sect, Qu Yang has countless lives stained with blood, and no matter how you look at it, he should not be equated with a "good person".

It's impossible to erase past actions simply because one is old and has a kind heart.

The Emei Sect is not the Shaolin Sect.

Gu Shaoan was not one of those hypocritical bald monks who believed in the bullshit of "laying down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot".

The reason Gu Shaoan didn't take action against Qu Yang was simply because of what Qu Feiyan, who was standing next to Qu Yang, had just said.

as well as.

Qu Yang had never done anything wrong in front of Gu Shaoan before.

Gu Shaoan's voice was calm and carried a distinct sense of distance.

Seemingly understanding Gu Shaoan's meaning, Qu Yang quickly said, "This old man guarantees that he will never harm the innocent or commit evil deeds in the future. If he violates this, may he be struck down by heaven and earth and die a horrible death."

"Thank you, sir."

Qu Feiyan, who was standing to the side, also spoke sincerely. Her crisp voice fell, and Gu Shaoan responded with a light "hmm".

The others in the room seemed to come back to their senses as well. One by one, they stepped forward to express their gratitude to Gu Shaoan before returning to their respective positions with lingering fear.

Then, Qu Yang pulled Qu Feiyan to the side.

This time, however, Qu Yang did not simply stay in the shadows where Qu Feiyan was, but instead lit a campfire like the others and took some pills.

Previously, Qu Yang's acupoints were struck by Wen Zaixuan, and his martial arts were sealed.

It will take at least three hours for the acupoints to release their seal on their own.

With the pursuers dealt with, Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan were finally able to get some rest.

The next day.

When Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan woke up, they found that only the extinguished charcoal fire remained in the room, and Gu Shaoan was nowhere to be seen.

After tidying up with Qu Feiyan, they mounted their horses and headed northwest.

Two hours later, at the edge of a forest, Qu Yang, after regulating his breathing with his true energy, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Feeling his injuries had eased slightly, Qu Yang couldn't help but sigh, "We were lucky to escape death! Thanks to that young expert from yesterday, my grandson and I managed to escape this calamity."

Qu Feiyan nodded slightly, then paused and asked, "Grandpa, can you tell who the person who made the move yesterday was?"

Qu Yang shook his head and said, "If we could see some of the martial arts techniques, we might be able to guess. But the one from yesterday was too strong. The speed he displayed in that instant was probably not much different from that of the sect leader."

"If you can't even see how someone makes their move, how can you guess their identity?"

"However, the fact that he was able to help ordinary people in danger, coupled with his manner of speaking, suggests that he is a person from a respectable family."

As he spoke, Qu Yang patted Qu Feiyan's head.

"So this time, Grandpa also wants to take you to the Emei Sect, and then let you change your identity to see if there is any hope of successfully joining the Emei Sect."

Qu Feiyan asked, "Emei Sect? I think I've heard of it before, but isn't Emei just a second-rate power like Hengshan, Hengshan, and Huashan? Why does Grandpa want to go to such lengths and have me join Emei?"

Qu Yang shook his head and said, "Although they are both second-rate forces, there are still differences in their strengths. Although the Emei Sect is a second-rate force, it is by no means comparable to the Five Mountains Sword Sects."

"Even when the Songshan Sect was still around, even if they combined the strength of all the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, they would still be no match for the Emei Sect."

Even the Sun Moon Sect wouldn't dare to offend the Emei Sect rashly.

After a pause, Qu Yang continued, "Moreover, the sect leader's strength has become increasingly unfathomable in recent years. A year ago, when facing a master in the martial arts world who had condensed his Qi into Yuan, he killed him in a single exchange, and his speed was unbelievable."

"Furthermore, the sect leader said last year that within five years at most, he would be able to enter the realm of condensing primordial energy into qi, reach the realm of celestial transformation, and achieve great mastery of divine skills."

"At that time, he will be considered a top-notch expert in the world, and the Sun Moon Divine Cult will also be promoted to a first-class power because of Dongfang Bai."

"Under these circumstances, ordinary second-rate forces are simply no match for the cult leader."

As for having Qu Feiyan join a top-tier organization, Qu Yang had considered it.

It's too difficult.

Qu Feiyan asked in confusion, "According to what Grandpa said, Dongfang Bai's strength has increased so quickly, and the Emei Sect is only a second-rate force. How can they possibly deal with Dongfang Bai?"

In response to Qu Feiyan's question, Qu Yang said in a deep voice: "Because the Emei Sect is different. In the Emei Sect, there are people whose talent and strength are no less than that of the sect leader."

As he spoke, Qu Yang couldn't help but recall the three Emei Sect disciples he had met four years ago in Dengfeng Prefecture.

Thinking of that Emei youth who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, yet could exchange a hundred blows with Dongfang Bai and still not be at a disadvantage in the slightest.

To possess strength comparable to Dongfang Bai at the tender age of fourteen or fifteen is a talent beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Qu Yang was certain that with that boy's talent, after four years, even if his strength couldn't match Dongfang Bai's, it wouldn't be much worse.

Moreover, the Emei Sect is not a first-rate force, and it is easier to join the Emei Sect than to join a first-rate force.

Qu Feiyan has excellent comprehension and her physical constitution has reached the "superior" level.

If handled properly, it is highly likely that Qu Feiyan will be accepted into the Emei Sect.

Although Qu Feiyan had heard of the Emei Sect before, she did not know the specifics.

This was the first time I had ever known that my grandfather held the Emei Sect in such high regard.

However, remembering Qu Yang's instructions, Qu Feiyan couldn't help but ask, "Does it really have to be a different name?"

When this issue was brought up, Qu Yang couldn't help but sigh. "What Wen Zaixuan said last night was right. Grandpa is an elder of the Demonic Sect and has killed countless people. You are Grandpa's granddaughter, so your identity will naturally be affected by Grandpa's influence."

"The Emei Sect is a truly prestigious and righteous sect, unlike the Songshan Sect, which was outwardly righteous but inwardly evil. Its sect has always maintained a pure and upright style and emphasizes eradicating evil completely."

"The sect leader, Abbess Miejue, and Elder Abbess Juechen, among others, are even more vehemently opposed to evil."

"So if you want to join the Emei Sect, you must sever all ties with your grandfather and even your former name, and not let anyone know about my relationship with you. Otherwise, given the Emei Sect's traditions, they will never agree to let you join."

Also worried that the Emei Sect would find out about the problem, even though Qu Feiyan is now eleven years old, Qu Yang has not taught Qu Feiyan any martial arts in the past few years.

What I fear is that if I learn his martial arts beforehand, it might arouse suspicion from the Emei Sect.

Seeing the slight dejection on Qu Feiyan's face, Qu Yang helplessly raised his hand and patted Qu Feiyan's head.

"Grandpa was poisoned by the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. The antidote he stole from the sect could not completely cure the poison, but could only temporarily suppress it."

"In a few years, when these antidotes are used up, the toxins will flare up, and Grandpa will still be helpless."

After a slight pause, Qu Yang continued, "Grandpa has lived a long enough life, so it doesn't matter if he dies."

"Now, Grandpa's only concern is you. As long as you can have a good place to go and live a peaceful life, Grandpa will be at ease."

Listening to what Qu Yang was saying, Qu Feiyan felt incredibly heavy-hearted.

Seeing this, Qu Yang could only sigh inwardly.

The martial world is treacherous, and being part of a demonic sect like the Sun Moon Cult is like walking on thin ice.

Qu Yang didn't think there was anything wrong with it before.

They felt that the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak and the mighty reign supreme, was simply a matter of course.

But as he grew older, and his fighting spirit gradually faded, Qu Yang began to feel fear instead.

They feared Dongfang Bai, the leader of the Sun Moon Cult, and they feared this life of living on the edge of a knife.

She also fears what will happen to her lonely granddaughter if she is gone.
But Qu Yang knew his granddaughter was precocious. Although she was still young, her intelligence and wit were far superior to those of ordinary people.

As long as she has a place to stay, Qu Feiyan, with her intelligence, will surely be able to live a good life.

However, at that moment, a voice quietly entered the ears of Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan.

"If you feel at ease, then other members of the sect will follow suit, stealing the antidote and leaving on their own. How can I, the sect leader, be at peace with myself then?"

The soft, gentle voice entered his ears, but it was like a thunderclap in his heart, causing Qu Yang to tremble and stand up abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, Qu Yang stiffly turned his head and found a fiery red figure standing on a treetop a dozen feet away, looking down at him and Qu Feiyan.

When her eyes are slightly narrowed, they appear even longer and thinner, as if drawn with an eyebrow pencil.

Who else could it be but Dongfang Bai?
Compared to four years ago, Dongfang Bai's skin tone is now much smoother.

Even her facial features became more feminine.

The throat area was also completely smooth, with no trace of an Adam's apple.

There was no trace of masculinity left on him.

"Teacher, leader."

When his gaze fell upon the fiery red figure atop the tree, Qu Yang trembled, his old face instantly filled with terror and panic.

Facing Dongfang Bai, Qu Yang did not speak as he had done with Wen Zaixuan the night before. Instead, he bent his knees and knelt down.

Qu Feiyan, standing to the side, was also stunned when she saw Dongfang Bai standing above her with his hands behind his back.

Dongfang Bai did not continue to speak, but slowly raised his head to look at the snow falling all around.

Perhaps because of what Qu Yang had just said, Dongfang Bai also recalled the young man from the Emei Sect under the moon four years ago.

"In four years, I wonder how much Gu Shaoan's strength has improved. If he were to face me now, would he still be able to last a hundred moves?"

Dongfang Bai remained silent, and Qu Yang dared not raise his head; they simply knelt quietly in the snow.

Even though his legs were numb from the cold of the snow, Qu Yang didn't dare to circulate his inner energy to dispel the chill from his legs.

As their thoughts raced, figures in the distance rapidly tore through the wind and snow, approaching the group.

The group at the head were none other than Sang San Niang, Tong Bai Xiong, and other elders of the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

Behind these people, nearly a hundred disciples of the Sun Moon Cult were urging their horses onward with all their might.

One of them was a large horse-drawn carriage that stood out conspicuously.

A few breaths later, as Sang San Niang and the others approached, he immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Your subordinate pays respects to the Master."

Upon hearing the sound, Dongfang Bai slowly raised his hand, then caught the snowflakes.

Her movements were gentle and graceful, as if she were a real woman.

"how?"

In response to Dongfang Bai's inquiry, Sang San Niang replied immediately: "Reporting to the sect leader, your subordinate has carefully examined them. All the disciples only had one wound on their bodies, which killed them with a single blow. Elder Wen also had no other wounds, only a broken neck."

“My subordinates caught up with those who stayed at the post station yesterday and interrogated them. They said they only saw a person wearing a bamboo hat wave his hand, and then all the disciples were killed.”

"As the screams of the other disciples rang out, the person wearing the bamboo hat appeared beside Elder Wen as if by teleportation and snapped Elder Wen's neck."

"The person who killed twenty-seven disciples of the Sun Moon Sect in an instant, and even Elder Wen had no chance to fight back, must be incredibly powerful."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bai chuckled and said, "Indeed, staying in one's own little corner is like sitting in a well and looking at the sky. The world is so vast, one should go out and explore more."

"Otherwise, how could we have encountered such a master as we are now?"

After saying that, Dongfang Bai asked, "Do you know which direction they went?"

Sang San Niang replied, "The snow is so heavy that we can't see any trace of him, and he wasn't riding a horse, so it's hard for me to figure out. But I've already sent a message to the disciples in the nearby cities who were searching for Elder Qu. They are to reply as soon as they find someone who matches the description."

It must be said that there is a reason why Sang San Niang has been valued by Dongfang Bai over the years.

Even before Dongfang Bai spoke, he had already handled the matter perfectly.

Immediately, Dongfang Bai flicked his long robe, his body moving like a ghost as he broke through the flying snow in front of him, entering the carriage that had just approached him.

Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Bai's voice slowly rang out from inside the carriage.

"Take these two with you. I'll deal with them after I meet this expert."

Sang San Niang waved her hand, and immediately disciples of the Sun Moon Sect rushed to Qu Yang and Qu Feiyan.

At this moment, Qu Yang's face turned ashen, and he had no intention of resisting whatsoever.
