In Emei, start by obtaining golden attributes.

Chapter 414 Eradicate the Weeds at the Root, Seven-Colored Entry Card (Third Update)

[Defeat a master of the third realm of swordsmanship, achievement points +1000, special achievement chest *1.]

Gu Shaoan's eyes flashed as he looked at the system notification that popped up in front of him.

"Interesting. The trick of achieving oneness between man and sword is actually judged as the third realm of swordsmanship."

Although Gu Shaoan had not yet entered the third realm of swordsmanship, he could vaguely sense that once a martial artist entered the third realm of military strategy, their strength would experience an extremely terrifying increase.

If Ren Zhenbei truly achieves the state of perfect harmony between man and sword, Gu Shaoan will not have an easy time winning.

However, the extra special achievement chest was a pleasant surprise for Gu Shaoan, and he certainly wouldn't complain about having too much.

Like an autumn wild goose, the blade of the Yitian Sword slid past Ren Zhenbei's neck and then returned to its sheath.

As the longsword was sheathed, Ren Zhenbei's head fell to the ground as his body tilted.

Fresh blood quickly spread along the floor tiles.

It was after Ren Zhenbei was killed that Gu Shaoan shifted his gaze slightly, looking at the crescent-shaped scimitar in Ren Zhenbei's hand.

With a slight lift of his right hand, and pulled by the force of the energy, the crescent-shaped scimitar that was originally in Ren Zhenbei's hand was pulled directly into Gu Shaoan's hand.

The moment the hilt of the scimitar touched his hand, the scimitar, which had just been lifeless, began to tremble and hum as if it were leaping with joy.

At the same time, a chilling energy quietly entered Gu Shaoan's body through the handle of the scimitar.

But in the next instant, this energy was directly dissolved by the internal energy within Gu Shaoan's body.

However, after this energy was dissolved, a special wisp of energy flowed upstream towards Gu Shaoan's brain.

Just as he approached the area of ​​the upper dantian, a surge of spiritual energy from the "divine seed" within Gu Shao's upper dantian rushed out like a cat smelling fish, devouring this wisp of energy.

Even so, Gu Shaoan could still sense the chilling killing intent emanating from this wisp of energy.

At this moment, Huang Xuemei, who was on the eaves, jumped down and landed next to Gu Shaoan.

Looking at Ren Zhenbei's corpse on the ground, Huang Xuemei said in a solemn tone, "I didn't expect Ren Zhenbei to be so strong. He's not even on the same level as Ren Donghai."

Gu Shaoan said, "Ren Zhenbei is an elder of the same generation as Zhang Zhenren, and his skill has exceeded a hundred years. With the help of this crescent moon blade, he has actually entered a different kind of man-blade unity with this blade, greatly increasing his strength. It is normal that you are no match for him."

Upon hearing this, his gaze fell on the crescent-shaped scimitar in Gu Shaoan's hand and he asked, "This scimitar can actually allow a martial artist to reach the state of oneness with the blade?"

Gu Shaoan nodded and said, "This Crescent Moon Blade is a demonic blade. The moment I held it in my hand, a killing intent invaded my body. As far as I know, this blade, like your Heavenly Demon Harp, can elevate the Crescent Moon Sect's ultimate technique, 'Divine Blade Slash,' to a higher level."

Huang Xuemei asked, "What are you going to do with this knife?"

Gu Shaoan said, "Take it back first and see if you can use it. If you can't, try to fuse it. Otherwise, keeping it will just be a hassle."

Huang Xuemei nodded in response.

He then glanced at the remaining disciples and elders of the Round Moon Sect and asked, "Ren Donghai has another son, right?"

Faced with Huang Xuemei's question, none of the disciples of the Round Moon Sect dared to speak.

After exchanging glances, the last of the elders replied, "Yes, his name is Ren Tianyang."

Huang Xuemei's voice was icy: "Where is he now?"

Upon hearing this, the elder hesitated for a moment.

But the next second, Huang Xuemei waved her long sleeves and struck down with a palm from a distance, shattering the elder's internal organs. Her gaze then fell on another elder.

Meeting Huang Xuemei's gaze, the elder felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Young Master Ren has run away?"

However, before the elder who was being targeted by Huang Xuemei could speak, a voice suddenly rang out.

Upon hearing this, Huang Xuemei and Gu Shaoan looked in the direction of the sound.

It turned out that the one who spoke was a disciple of the Round Moon Sect.

Furthermore, a young man dressed in a magnificent robe was using his lightness skill to dash away into the distance.

Seeing this, Huang Xuemei touched the ground with her toes, and as her body lifted into the air, she plucked the strings with her fingertips.

The instant the swift, metallic sound of the zither echoed, more than a dozen condensed sonic blades shot towards the young man like arrows released from a bow, all piercing his chest and splitting him in two.

When Huang Xuemei asked Ren Tianyang, Gu Shaoan already understood what Huang Xuemei meant.

But the goal is to eradicate the root of the problem.

As a demonic sect, the Crescent Moon Sect naturally cannot have the same level of cohesion as renowned righteous sects like Wudang, Shaolin, and Emei.

After today, the Crescent Moon Sect can be said to have been destroyed. None of the remaining elders and disciples would ever think of continuing to serve the Crescent Moon Sect or seeking revenge.

Only Ren Donghai and Ren Zhenbei's blood relatives might remember what happened today and seek revenge later.

Gu Shaoan never liked to drag things out.

Either don't do something, or prevent future problems.

Even if Huang Xuemei hadn't brought it up, Gu Shaoan would have done the same thing himself.

As Ren Tianyang was killed, Huang Xuemei reached into her bosom, took out a signal flare, and launched a special firework into the air.

Gu Shaoan raised an eyebrow as he took in Huang Xuemei's actions.

After tossing the discarded signal flare aside, Huang Xuemei said, "Originally, I planned to first eliminate the three forces behind He Qinghua: Rakshasa Gate, Blazing Fire Palace, and Ghost Palace. After talking with you, I changed my plan and had the people from Tianlong Gate rush towards Yuanyue Gate after we set off."

Gu Shaoan smiled slightly at this, seemingly unconcerned.

Seeing that Gu Shaoan did not show any displeasure, Huang Xuemei's tense nerves finally relaxed again.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

A quarter of an hour later, as the two waited, a series of faint, dense whooshing sounds rang out from all directions around the perimeter of the Round Moon Manor.

Immediately afterwards, figures dressed in uniform black outfits with silver zither patterns embroidered on their chests entered the round moon gate like a tide quietly surging in the night.

There were nearly a thousand people.

The man at the head of the group was none other than the portly man who had come to the Flying Tiger Escort Agency a few days earlier to entrust them with a shipment.

"Sect Master!"

Facing the group of Tianlongmen disciples and elders, Huang Xuemei gave a light "hmm".

Huang Xuemei then glanced around at the disciples of the Round Moon Sect.

Anyone who came into Huang Xuemei's sight quickly lowered their head and fell silent.

Looking at these disciples of the Round Moon Sect, a chilling killing intent flashed in Huang Xuemei's eyes.

But the next second, Huang Xuemei looked at Gu Shaoan standing to the side.

After a moment's hesitation, Huang Xuemei said in a cold voice:

"From this day forward, the Round Moon Sect ceases to exist. If I ever hear of anyone in the martial world claiming to be a disciple of the Round Moon Sect, kill them without mercy." "Get lost!"

As soon as the last word was uttered, all the disciples and elders of the Round Moon Sect felt as if they had been granted a pardon and fled in panic.

In just five breaths, the open space was empty of the people from the Round Moon Gate.

Huang Xuemei waved her hand gently in acknowledgment.

"The Round Moon Sect has been entrenched here for many years, and they must have accumulated a considerable amount of wealth and martial arts manuals. We will take them back after inventorying them. If we encounter anyone who is just trying to escape, we will ignore them. If anyone resists, we will kill them."

After bowing, the portly man led the other disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect into the manor.

Before long, only Huang Xuemei, Gu Shaoan, and a dozen or so other people from the Tianlong Sect remained in the open space.

After putting the Heavenly Demon Harp into its case, Huang Xuemei looked at Gu Shaoan.

"Once the money of the Round Moon Sect is tallied, I will have someone send half of it to the Emei Sect."

The Emei Sect has never competed with the people for profit; instead, it spends a lot of money every year to help the poor.

They weren't exactly poor, but they weren't exactly rich either.

After the battle with the Ming Cult and the acquisition of some of their wealth, the situation improved considerably.

However, now that the Emei Sect has become a first-class power, it is short of disciples and will need to recruit new disciples, resulting in considerable expenses.

During the months Gu Shaoan was away, Abbess Isolation complained about this matter to him quite a bit.

If we could obtain some money from the Round Moon Gate, it would be just enough to alleviate the current financial difficulties of the Emei Sect.

Therefore, Gu Shaoan did not stand on ceremony with Huang Xuemei and nodded, saying, "Okay."

However, as a first-rate force, the Crescent Moon Sect cannot possibly search its entire territory thoroughly in a short time with only a few hundred people.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that the hundreds of Tianlongmen members finally searched the entire Yuanyuemen area.

Boxes filled with gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and rare and precious books began to be placed on the open ground.

The number was as high as over a hundred.

Just then, the portly man from the Tianlong Sect stepped forward and handed the ledger to Huang Xuemei, then bowed and said, "Sect Master, ninety-seven volumes of martial arts manuals have been found in the western secret cave, including the complete handwritten notes of 'Divine Blade Slash' and some of the sword-training insights from the past generations of the Round Moon Sect."

"A hidden dungeon was discovered in the back mountain, holding dozens of people, who seemed to have a grudge against the Round Moon Sect or had been kidnapped."

"Secret correspondence between the two factions, including the Money Gang and the Chang Le Gang, was found in a hidden compartment of the North Courtyard study."

After listening, Huang Xuemei pondered for a moment and then instructed, "Take all the valuables and secret manuals with you, and arrange for someone to send half of the valuables and all the medicines found in the Round Moon Gate to the Emei Sect."

The portly man asked in astonishment, "All the medicines are being sent to Emei?"

The Round Moon Sect has stood in the martial arts world for hundreds of years, no less than the Ming Cult and the Cihang Jingzhai.

Over the centuries, the area inside the Round Moon Gate has accumulated a considerable collection of rare and exotic plants.

Many of these items are no longer even owned by the Heavenly Dragon Sect, and are worth a fortune.

Huang Xuemei narrowed her eyes slightly, and her tone suddenly became colder.

"Is there a problem?"

Sensing the change in Huang Xuemei's tone, the portly man trembled and hurriedly said, "This subordinate dares not."

Seeing this, Huang Xuemei glanced at Gu Shaoan, paused for a moment, and then transmitted her voice through her internal energy: "Keep the selected treasures and medicinal herbs safe for now, and I will personally deliver them to the Emei Sect in a while."

Although he didn't understand why Huang Xuemei suddenly changed her mind, the portly man still agreed immediately.

"As for the people in the dungeon, let them leave on their own. As for those letters..."

After Huang Xuemei gave all the instructions, the portly man agreed and immediately turned to instruct the disciples of the Tianlong Sect to carry them out.

Only after everything was settled did Huang Xuemei turn around and focus her gaze on the figure sitting cross-legged in the distance.

The domineering aura that had been present when facing the disciples of the Heavenly Dragon Sect vanished completely, leaving only peace.

At the same time, a notification message appeared in Gu Shaoan's mind again.

[Destroyed the first-rate force, the Crescent Moon Gate, achievement points +1000.]

Upon receiving this notification, Gu Shaoan, who was immersed in cultivation, opened his eyes and looked at Huang Xuemei who was approaching.

"Is everything taken care of?"

Huang Xuemei nodded gently: "It's all taken care of," her tone becoming more gentle and relaxed.

Gu Shaoan stood up and said, "Alright, let's go back to the city then!"

noon.

After returning to the Flying Tiger Escort Agency and having a quick bite to eat, Huang Xuemei asked, "When are you returning to Emei?"

After a moment's thought, Gu Shaoan replied, "It should be within the next two days."

When Gu Shaoan first came to Dongyang Prefecture, his original intention was simply to find Feng Wanchui to forge weapons.

What happened next with the Flying Tiger Escort Agency and the Round Moon Gate was purely accidental.

Staying outside is ultimately not as efficient as cultivating within the Emei Sect.

Furthermore, the year-end has just passed, and soon the Azure Dragon Society will sweep across the martial arts world, causing turmoil throughout the entire martial arts community.

Naturally, there was also a sense of unease within the Emei Sect.

With Gu Shaoan in charge, it can have a calming effect on people's hearts.

After hearing what Gu Shaoan said, Huang Xuemei remained silent for a while before nodding and saying, "After I've dealt with things here for a few days, I will personally deliver those things from the Round Moon Sect to the Emei Sect."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shaoan smiled and said, "Then I, Gu, will await Miss Huang's arrival at the Emei Sect."

Although both of them were martial artists who had reached the Qi Condensation stage, Huang Xuemei had also shown signs of fatigue after not sleeping all night following the battle.

Therefore, after a brief chat, Gu Shaoan returned to the house.

After pouring a cup of tea and placing it in front of him, Gu Shaoan opened the achievement chest he had obtained from killing Ren Zhenbei.

A few breaths later, a series of notification messages popped up in front of Gu Shaoan.

Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Hundred Kings Ginseng!

Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Manggu Toad Liver

Congratulations to the player for obtaining 1 Rainbow Attribute Card!

"Hmm? A seven-colored vocabulary card?"

As the last message popped up, Gu Shaoan's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly, and his heart pounded faster.
