In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 300 You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, you insist on forcing your way into hell when there's no way out.
When Gu Shaoan uttered his indifferent voice, he did not use his own internal energy.

The sound, though not loud, was clearly heard by everyone as the mountain wind blew through it.

Despite its gentle tone, everyone could feel a chilling domineering aura emanating from it.

What's even more alarming is what Gu Shaoan just did.

Judging from what Abbess Juechen just said, that middle-aged man was no ordinary martial artist, but a martial artist whose internal energy cultivation had already reached the stage of Condensing Yuan and Forming Gang.

But even such a person was defeated by Gu Shaoan in just one move.

For a time, many people even doubted whether Abbess Juechen had made a mistake.

If that middle-aged man was truly a martial artist who had condensed his inner energy into a powerful force, how could he have been defeated so easily?
In the main seat, Abbess Miejue first looked at Abbess Juechen.

Sensing Abbess Miejue's gaze, Abbess Miejue shook her head to indicate that she was unharmed.

Only then did Abbess Miejue breathe a sigh of relief and refocus her attention on Gu Shaoan.

Sensing the sharp aura emanating from Gu Shaoan, Abbess Miejue's eyes flashed.

Not only Abbess Miejue sensed something was wrong, but even Abbess Wujue and those close to Gu Shaoan, such as Mei Jiangxue and Zhao Jingxuan, also felt the change in Gu Shaoan's aura.

The nun transmitted her voice, "Senior sister, I feel that Shao'an is a little different than before? The Shao'an of the past was not so sharp and outspoken."

Abbess Miejue replied, "Perhaps it's a breakthrough in your state of mind. Ask again later."

After nodding in acknowledgment, the nun also suppressed her thoughts.

Inside the arena, the middle-aged man coughed up another mouthful of blood.

His previous nonchalant demeanor was completely gone because of the bloodstains around his mouth and his posture.

Looking up at Gu Shaoan beside him, the middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "As expected of someone who could defeat the Demon Master Pang Ban, Young Master Gu's strength is truly astonishing. I am completely convinced."

However, even as the middle-aged man's voice faded, Gu Shaoan still did not let go of his hand.

After glancing at Sun Jinhai, who was still lying on the ground in the distance, Gu Shaoan said in a low voice, "To have the internal energy cultivation level of Condensing Yuan Qi into Gang, you must not be an unknown person. Now that things have come to this, are you still unwilling to reveal your identity?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man said indifferently, "I am but an unknown person, and my status is not worth mentioning."

"Oh?"

Gu Shaoan chuckled and then spoke again: "Does Your Excellency think that by using the powder to disguise yourself, no one will be able to know your identity?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's pupils contracted.

Before he could respond, Gu Shaoan flicked his left wrist downwards, and the Yitian Sword was immediately plunged into the bluestone slab. Then, his left hand formed a claw with his five fingers, and as the sound of a dragon's roar echoed, he used the Yin and Yang energies to perform "Double Dragons Taking Water".

Instantly, the tea in two teacups on a table two zhang away was drawn up and transformed into two streams of green water that flowed into Gu Shaoan's hand.

As soon as Gu Shaoan had a thought, a little bit of medicinal powder silently appeared in his hand and mixed into the tea.

After the medicinal powder was mixed into the water, the originally clear and green tea water immediately turned brown.

Noticing the churning medicine in Gu Shaoan's left hand, the middle-aged man was startled, and his internal energy flowed accordingly.

"Ang~"

However, just as the middle-aged man's internal energy was circulating, another dragon's roar resounded.

Immediately afterwards, the middle-aged man saw several condensed dragon-shaped energy streams gather in front of him.

At the same time, powerful fluctuations of internal energy also emanated from his left shoulder.

The middle-aged man turned his head to look, and when his gaze fell on Gu Shaoan, whose back was filled with several dragon-shaped energy energies, and on Gu Shaoan's cold eyes, a chill ran through the middle-aged man's heart, and the surging internal energy within him immediately calmed down.

A few breaths later, under Gu Shaoan's control of his internal energy, the tea mixed with medicine in his left hand was directly splashed onto the middle-aged man's face.

Under the influence of the tea, the middle-aged man's facial features, which had appeared normal before, gradually began to change.

Her previously flat nose began to become more prominent, and her face shape began to shrink from its original long shape.

Among the guests present were many up-and-coming martial arts talents who had come with their elders to broaden their horizons. They had never seen such a wonderful method of disguise before.

They were all astonished as they watched the man's features and face shape change little by little.

After a hundred breaths, as Gu Shaoan waited, the middle-aged man's facial features stopped changing, and a thin film appeared on his face that was visible to the naked eye.

It's like the sudden exposure of rice paper after it's been wetted.

As this thin film appeared, Gu Shaoan made a grasping motion with his five fingers, and then a viscous force directly sucked the thin film off the middle-aged man's face.

Without the film covering him, the middle-aged man's face was exposed to everyone.

"Isn't this Yuan Dongyuan, the owner of Wuzheng Manor in Taiyuan Prefecture?"

Just as the middle-aged man's appearance was revealed to everyone, a slightly surprised voice quietly came from the guest.

As the guest spoke, the martial artists who had lived in Taiyuan Prefecture for a period of time also recognized Yuan Dongyuan's identity.

"Hey, it's true."

"Why would he come to the Emei Sect's place for no reason? And why is he disguised?"

"Didn't they say that Yuan Dongyuan of Wuzheng Manor was indifferent to fame and fortune and rarely involved in martial arts affairs? Why is he taking the initiative to interfere in the affairs of the Emei Sect and the Bamboo Forest Gang today?"

Whispers arose from the surrounding guests.

The previously quiet Golden Dome Square suddenly became much noisier.

"Yuan Dongyuan?"

As the surrounding sounds entered his ears, Gu Shaoan narrowed his eyes slightly, a chilling glint flashing within them before disappearing.

As far as Gu Shaoan knew, a beautiful white night flower would soon bloom within the Emei Sect.

The medicinal effects of the white night-blooming jasmine are special. When taken by ordinary people, it can enable them to see in the dark, as if they were in daylight even in the darkest night.

If used in medicine, it can be a holy product for healing injuries, just like cardamom, especially effective for eye diseases.

Yuan Suiyun, the son of Yuan Dongyuan, showed exceptional martial arts talent from a young age.

However, his son, Yuan Suiyun, fell seriously ill when he was three years old, which caused him to go blind.

In order to treat Yuan Suiyun's eyes, Yuan Dongyuan searched everywhere for famous doctors, and finally learned from some unknown source that there was a beautiful white night flower in the Emei Sect.

Soon after, Yuan Dongyuan arrived in person, bringing people to try and take away the You Tan Bai Ye Hua. However, the elders of the Emei Sect refused to comply. He then secretly sent people to infiltrate Emei at night and slaughtered all the elders of the Emei Sect.

From then on, there were no more masters in the Emei Sect.

If not for the protection of Wudang, the Emei Sect would have been wiped out. And what outsiders don't know is that the current den of iniquity on Bat Island in the East Sea was secretly built by the former Dongyuan many years ago.

His purpose, besides secretly collecting money and martial arts manuals, was also to help Yuan Suiyun find medicine to cure his eye disease.

This is why, when Gu Shaoan learned that the enemy behind the Meishan family was Wuzheng Manor, he did not hesitate to take Mei Jiangxue into his family.

This is because Wuzheng Manor was originally intended to be the future enemy of the Emei Sect.

This was also a force that Gu Shaoan had been secretly keeping in mind.

According to the original course of events, when Wuzheng Manor invaded Emei Sect, Abbess Miejue had already died in Wan'an Temple because of Zhao Min and the Demon Master Palace.

In this life, with Gu Shaoan's presence, not only is Abbess Miejue safe and sound, but the Emei Sect has also grown stronger.

Gu Shaoan was also unsure whether Wuzheng Manor would take action against the Emei Sect again because of the You Tan Bai Ye Hua.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Dongyuan, the owner of Wuzheng Manor, appeared at the Emei Sect's banquet today and took the initiative to cause trouble.

"That's true! You have a path to heaven but you won't take it, and you insist on walking into the gates of hell when there are none!"

As Gu Shaoan's thoughts raced, the coldness in his eyes gradually intensified.

Others didn't sense anything amiss, but Yuan Dongyuan, who was right next to Gu Shaoan, could clearly feel the growing killing intent in Gu Shaoan's eyes.

For a moment, Yuan Dongyuan was filled with both shock and fear.

Although Wuzheng Manor has appeared weak in recent years, its influence remains.

Moreover, Wuzheng Manor is also a prestigious and righteous sect.

According to Yuan Dongyuan's plan, although it would be somewhat embarrassing for him after his true identity was exposed, Gu Shaoan and the Emei Sect would stop because of his identity.

But now, with his true identity revealed, Gu Shaoan not only shows no intention of stopping, but instead reveals an even stronger murderous intent.

"Did the people from my Wuzheng Manor offend him before?"

The people from Wuzheng Manor have always been in Taiyuan Prefecture. Due to the original requirements of Dongyuan, they usually keep a low profile and should not have provoked Gu Shaoan and Emei.

For a moment, Yuan Dongyuan couldn't understand why Gu Shaoan's murderous intent had increased rather than decreased after he learned of his identity.

The only thing that Yuan Dongyuan was certain of was that today's events had exceeded his expectations.

Thinking of this, Yuan Dongyuan said in a deep voice: "I have heard that the Emei Sect has a pure and upright style. My purpose in coming here today is to be friendly, just like Cihang Jingzhai, and to take a look at the style of the Emei Sect. If I have offended you before, I hope that Young Master Gu and the nuns will not take offense."

If it were an ordinary force, upon learning of Yuan Dongyuan's identity and hearing his words of submission, they might have thought of minimizing the issue.

However, thinking of Yuan Dongyuan's actions just now, Abbess Miejue did not speak, her brows still furrowed.

Just as Abbess Miejue was pondering how to handle the situation, Gu Shaoan's voice suddenly rang out.

"The words of the former manor lord are nice to say, but in my opinion, when the former manor lord made his move just now, he did not hold back at all."

“If I hadn’t intervened just now, and if the original master’s last move had landed, my Uncle Juechen would have been seriously injured even if he hadn’t died.”

"Now that my identity has been exposed, things have turned into a misunderstanding."

"If that's the case, then next time I, Gu, will disguise myself, go to Wuzheng Manor to cause trouble, and slaughter the entire manor, and then when my identity is exposed, I can just say it was a misunderstanding and be done with it?"

Upon hearing Gu Shaoan's words, Abbess Miejue's expression darkened completely, as she had been pondering the matter.

Yuan Dongyuan acted too quickly just now, and Abbess Miejue couldn't see clearly the intention behind Yuan Dongyuan's last move.

Upon learning from Gu Shaoan that Yuan Dongyuan's final move against Abbess Juechen was so vicious, a sinister glint appeared in Abbess Juechen's eyes.

"My Emei Sect has no prior grudges with Wuzheng Manor. Today, the former manor lord suddenly caused trouble in my Emei Sect. Doesn't the former manor lord think he should give this humble nun an explanation?"

When asked by Abbess Miejue, Yuan Dongyuan replied calmly, "I have already said that it was just a misunderstanding."

"Now that I, Yuan, am also seriously injured, while your people are unharmed, isn't that enough? Does your sect expect me to kowtow and admit my mistake?"

As he spoke, Yuan Dongyuan glanced at Qin Mengyao, who was standing to the side.

To be precise, he was looking at Song Miyun behind Qin Mengyao.

Feeling Yuan Dongyuan's gaze, Song Miyun cursed inwardly.

But after hesitating for a moment, Song Miyun suddenly circulated her true essence and transmitted her voice to Abbess Miejue: "Abbess, although Wuzheng Manor behind Yuan Dongyuan has declined in recent years, it is still a first-class power with considerable influence. Although Yuan Dongyuan was wrong to begin with today's events, it has already been injured. If we continue to push it, we may completely offend Wuzheng Manor, which will be detrimental to the Emei Sect."

"Moreover, today is a banquet hosted by the Emei Sect for all parties. Business is important. Why don't we de-escalate the matter and have my Cihang Jingzhai act as a mediator to arrange a proper discussion between you?"

Hearing Song Miyun's telepathic message, Abbess Miejue frowned slightly and looked at Song Miyun.

After a moment of contemplation, Abbess Miejue had to admit that things were indeed as Song Miyun had said.

Although Yuan Dongyuan had made mistakes, they did not warrant death.

The Emei Sect could not possibly do anything to Yuan Dongyuan in front of so many martial arts practitioners today.
People cannot be killed. If they are forced too hard, they will only offend Yuan Dongyuan and Wuzheng Manor in the end, creating a first-class enemy for the Emei Sect for no reason.

No matter how you look at it, it's not good for the Emei Sect.

Just as Abbess Miejue was pondering her decision, Gu Shaoan's voice suddenly rang in her ear.

“Master, Yuan Dongyuan’s identity is unusual, and his affairs are unusual. Please leave it to me to handle.”

The moment the words reached her ears, Abbess Miejue almost immediately forgot about Song Miyun's engrossed telepathic conversation.

Our own children and outsiders.

Abbess Miejue naturally trusted her own son more.

"Alright! If you need any help from your teacher, please don't hesitate to ask."

After receiving a reply from Abbess Miejue, Gu Shaoan lowered his gaze to Yuan Dongyuan.

"There's no need to kneel, but I happened to encounter some issues that involved Wuzheng Manor. Since the former manor lord has come to my door today, let's get to the bottom of this as well."

As he spoke, Gu Shaoan's right hand, which was resting on Yuan Dongyuan's shoulder, suddenly sank.

With a surge of palm energy, a terrifying force instantly pressed down on Yuan Dongyuan's shoulder as Gu Shaoan's hand moved.

"click"

The terrifying force, combined with the technique of "lifting light weights as if they were heavy," rushed into Yuan Dongyuan's shoulder and directly broke it.

With his shoulder bone broken, Yuan Dongyuan immediately groaned softly due to the pain surging in his shoulder, and his body trembled violently.

At the same time, Gu Shaoan channeled his energy into his fingers and successively pressed on acupoints on Yuan Dongyuan's back, sealing off all the major acupoints on Yuan Dongyuan's body.
