Arhats Subduing Demons: Starting with The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber

Chapter 87 Meeting the Gang Leader at Wanghai Peak

As the Yellow Crane Tower gathering came to an end, a rumor spread throughout the martial arts world, causing great shock among heroes from all over.

Xie Xun, the Golden Lion King who went on a killing spree and stole the Dragon-Slaying Saber many years ago, is actually overseas.

This news has driven countless people to madness and countless others to worry.

The crazy thing is that the Dragon-Slaying Saber, which is known as the supreme weapon in the martial arts world, has finally found a home.

The concern lies overseas.

It’s scary to think about it!
The ocean, seemingly so close, is so elusive. The only sign that it can be predicted is its ruthless and unpredictable nature!

People of insight like Yun Changkong know that after the rise of the Mongols, they conquered countless countries and were invincible throughout the world. However, when Kublai Khan attacked Japan, he encountered a hurricane and high waves, resulting in the deaths of his men and the sinking of his ships, a shame he could never wash away. Yet, it became a joke and a topic of conversation in Japan, giving rise to the term "divine wind" and inflating their divine kingdom mentality to an unprecedented degree.

Therefore, no matter how much one yearns for the supreme martial arts master or how deep one's hatred for Xie Xun, the number of people who have the courage to go out to sea to find him is very small!

Anyway, Yun Changkong just wouldn't agree!
Even in later generations, despite the advanced shipbuilding technology of today, there have been instances of ships sinking and people perishing due to storms.

At this moment, no matter how high one's martial arts skills, encountering the power of nature would still mean certain death.
However, it was also because of the Yellow Crane Tower gathering that many unknown truths were revealed, bringing an unprecedented period of peace to the martial arts world that had not been peaceful for more than a decade.

It turns out that a mastermind was pulling the strings behind the scenes in the martial arts world—the Prince of Ruyang of the Yuan Dynasty. They had recruited many martial arts masters. Just as this rumor was spreading, another piece of news also emerged: Yun Changkong, the protagonist of the Yellow Crane Tower incident, had disappeared.

Thus, another rumor arose.

The reason why Yun Changkong was unwilling to become the leader of the martial arts alliance was actually to avoid becoming enemies with the Mongol princess. In reality, it was to win the heart of the beauty and live a carefree, immortal life.

After all, the Yuan court didn't come to cause trouble at such a grand event, which is not right. Either Yun Changkong was exaggerating, or the Mongol princess had changed her mind because of Yun Changkong.

Such rumors naturally angered many people who were furious at his lack of ambition! With all his skills, instead of striving to conquer the world and become a true king, he insisted on being a carefree king.

But this romantic affair naturally made many people envious. They felt that Yun Changkong was incredibly lucky to have a Mongol princess like this, while they themselves were so unlucky and unfortunate.

However, there are insightful people in the world who believe that if the Yuan court is not confident in wiping them out in one fell swoop, it will naturally not take action at this grand event! Otherwise, wouldn't that confirm everything Yun Changkong said?
At that time, if the people of the martial arts world put aside their personal grudges and unite against the imperial court, the court will be overwhelmed and will naturally lie low, waiting for the right opportunity.

Any rumor that spreads widely foreshadows the fortune or misfortune of its protagonist. Yun Changkong was rumored to be embracing beautiful women, but in reality, he was lonely and had gone to the foot of Mount Wutai in Shanxi Province.

Although Yun Changkong was not one to worry, he was quite chivalrous. This time, he came to find Wang Xiaotian to see what was going on with Shi Huolong.

While others paid little attention to Shi Huolong, he had a discerning eye and recognized that Shi Huolong was an exceptional talent in the martial arts world.

This is because Shi Huolong has not led the Beggars' Sect for many years, but in the original story, Cheng Kun and Chen Youliang were able to control the Beggars' Sect using an imposter.

It's simply because of Shi Huolong's prestige. Even if others haven't seen him for years, they dare not say a word.

After Shi Huolong died, the Beggars' Sect even supported his daughter as the sect leader. Even if she was just a puppet, it shows Shi Huolong's status in the Beggars' Sect's hearts. If she recovered from her injuries, she would surely achieve great things.

Therefore, as soon as Yun Changkong left the Yellow Crane Tower, he found a secluded inn, changed into a homespun outfit, smeared soot on his face, and immediately boarded a boat on the riverbank to leave.

He was a meticulous man and knew that with so many heroes gathered, he would leave immediately. He even disguised himself, and as long as he didn't cause trouble, it would be strange if anyone could recognize him.

Therefore, when he arrived at the foot of Mount Wutai, rumors circulated in the martial arts world that he was living a carefree life, thus adding the title "Carefree King" to his existing title of "Soul-Hooking Sword".

When Yun Changkong arrived at the foot of Mount Wutai, he realized that the mountain was indeed very large. After walking through the town, he found a "Welcoming Inn". He immediately went in and, without saying much, ordered beef and rice wine. He ate and drank to his heart's content.

Yun Changkong possessed extraordinary Buddhist martial arts skills, but he broke all precepts, including drinking, eating meat, and sleeping with women. After eating and drinking his fill, he went to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, "Is Wang Xiaotian here?"

The shopkeeper stared intently at his face and said, "Brother, may I ask your name?"

Chang Kong said, "My surname is Yun."

The shopkeeper paused for a moment, then pointed to the sky: "That Master Yun?"

Chang Kong smiled slightly: "Exactly."

The shopkeeper was speechless for a long time.

He had already been instructed to immediately report if Yun Changkong came. However, in recent days, everyone who came to the inn mentioned Yun Changkong, saying that he defeated the White-browed Eagle King, forcibly killed his junior brother Li Tianyuan, and killed Xihua Zi of the Kunlun Sect. The Kunlun Sect leader dared not seek revenge.

The Shaolin monk Kongzhi was blasted several feet away by his "Arhat Fist" and couldn't even speak.

The story of how the monk Kongxing was struck on the temple with his "Dragon Claw Hand" was so legendary that the shopkeeper never imagined he would actually meet the real person.

However, he noticed that Yun Changkong's face was dark, he was dressed in coarse cloth, and he wore a bamboo hat, which did not match the legendary handsome and dashing Yun Changkong.

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Isn't Wang Xiaotian here?"

The shopkeeper bowed slightly and said, "Please come into the inner room for tea. I will inform them immediately."

Chang Kong grunted in agreement and strode straight into the inner hall.

The innkeeper, unsure of his identity, dared not offend him and hastily lifted the curtain, leading him into a bright and clean guest room.

The waiter brought over hot tea, and the innkeeper bowed and said, "Master Yun, please wait a moment. Young Master Wang is not here at the moment. I will inform him immediately."

Chang Kong nodded, sipping his tea as he waited.

As night fell, footsteps were heard, and then a voice said, "Is that Brother Yun?"

Chang Kong laughed heartily: "Brother Wang, how have you been?"

"Ha ha……"

The two greeted each other warmly upon meeting.

Wang Xiaotian said, "Come on, follow me."

The two immediately went up Mount Wutai that night.

Once you enter Wutai Mountain, you'll find a temple every few miles, such as the Stone Buddha Temple, Puji Temple, Ancient Buddha Temple, Baiyun Temple, and Jindeng Temple, with the faint sound of chanting drifting along the mountain path.

On the way, Wang Xiaotian asked about Changkong's experiences, and Changkong had no choice but to recount them. Wang Xiaotian was quite disappointed that he hadn't witnessed them firsthand, and then asked, "So, what about you and that Mongolian princess...?"

Yun Changkong smiled slightly: "It's just an illusion, not worth mentioning."

Wang Xiaotian, a man of keen social skills, couldn't help but think to himself, "If only it were all an illusion."

The two were skilled in light-footed martial arts and climbed to the top of Dongtai Peak, also known as Wanghai Peak. After passing through dense forest, they finally stopped in front of a cave entrance!

The cave entrance is no more than seven feet in diameter and is circular. The interior is deep and dark, and cannot be seen.

Wang Xiaotian said, "This is Luoyan Cave, and my master is inside."

As Chang Kong walked towards the cave entrance, he felt a chill creeping into his body.

After Wang Xiaotian finished speaking, he went straight in. Chang Kong followed, and they saw that the passage twisted and turned, stretching for hundreds of feet, and there was a hidden world inside.

Upon reaching the end, a natural stone chamber suddenly appeared before us, with red candles burning brightly, a small table and a couch, on which a person sat cross-legged.

He was quite burly, with a ruddy complexion, but looked listless.

Wang Xiaotian said, "Brother Yun, this is my master." He stepped forward and bowed to the man, saying, "Master, Young Hero Yun has arrived!"

The man slightly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them as he sized up Yun Changkong.

Shi Huolong scrutinized Yun Changkong for a moment, then suddenly said, "Xiaotian told me everything about you! Our gang used to be on good terms with Shaolin Temple and Quanzhen Sect, but Brother Yun has traveled a long way to come to Mount Wutai. I should have personally welcomed you, but I am not feeling well, so please forgive me!"

Hearing the man's dignified and profound voice, yet his tone was kind, Chang Kong felt a sense of goodwill from the start. He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said, "You flatter me, Chief!"

Shi Huolong's face showed bitterness: "What kind of gang leader am I? But whatever happened today, whether good or bad, you must not tell anyone else!"

Seeing Shi Huolong practicing and meditating in this cold place, Yun Changkong was probably right. Not wanting to reveal his secret, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Chief!"

Shi Huolong said, "I have rarely been active in the martial arts world in recent years, but I have heard about what is happening there. You asked Xiaotian to let me pass on messages to major sects such as Shaolin and Wudang, but I did not do so. Can you understand that?"

Chang Kong pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is too big. Without other evidence, it is indeed difficult to handle."

Shi Huolong said, "Abbot Kongwen of Shaolin and Master Zhang of Wudang are both pillars of the martial arts world today. They are kind and gentle, and even though there is a great rift between the two sects, they have always restrained their disciples to avoid sectarian disputes. However, the seeds of past actions have already been sown and cannot be changed by words alone."

The Demonic Sect certainly has many extraordinary talents, but they are willful and reckless, and their hatred is widespread throughout the martial arts world. Although our sect is known as the number one sect in the world and is founded on chivalry, it is no longer as prosperous as it was when the two leaders, Hong and Huang, were in power.

Personally, I suffered a qi deviation while practicing the "Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms," and the affairs of the sect were handed over to the four elders. You should know about our hatred for the Demonic Sect.

Chang Kong nodded and said, "My brother told me about it."

Shi Huolong said, "The hatred between the Demonic Sect and other sects only involves human lives, but we seized their sacred artifact, the Sacred Flame Token. In the past, our sect experienced a change and lost it!"

This hatred is far more serious than killing a messenger of light. The Holy Flame Order prevents the Demonic Cult from returning, and this hatred is extremely difficult to suppress. The two sides are now irreconcilably at odds and could erupt at any moment.

I have stayed out of the affairs of the martial world for years. Even if others have the desire to destroy the demon, they cannot contact me and therefore cannot mobilize the Beggars' Sect.

If I were to issue the leader's Green Bamboo Token, what would happen if people like Abbess Miejue of Emei asked me to help coordinate with various sects to exterminate the demon? Should I listen or not?

He sighed and said, "My gang has a deep-seated grudge with the Demonic Sect. You probably understand that this is just a simple sentence, but it contains so much bloodshed, fighting, and how many brave men have died. Alas, my gang has undergone tremendous changes in recent years, and I have seen through the treachery of the world. I really don't want to deal with anything anymore!"

The Beggars' Sect is a chivalrous organization that has been helping the weak and oppressed and rescuing the distressed for hundreds of years, which is why it has earned the respect of its fellow martial arts practitioners.

The reason they wanted to make things difficult for the Demonic Sect was because the Demonic Sect acted lawlessly and recklessly, which made people unable to tolerate it. However, it was not that the righteous sects of the martial arts world were ignorant of the bigger picture and did not know that fighting would allow the Mongols to reap the benefits.

Shi Huolong's words were reasonable and insightful, and Yun Changkong nodded repeatedly. He pondered for a moment and said, "The matter between the Demonic Sect and the Righteous Sect is truly difficult to discuss. Although I did some things at the Yellow Crane Tower, it was ultimately only a temporary solution. Hatred can perhaps be quelled by repaying kindness, and it cannot be suppressed entirely by force. But this can only be left to fate. The leader need not worry."

Shi Huolong smiled slightly and said, "I'm telling you this because I want to say that the reputation of our gang as the number one gang in the world is no longer pure gold. I have been in charge of the gang for a long time and have enjoyed a great reputation. Perhaps many people envy or are jealous of my position, but I myself am already overwhelmed."

At this moment, all I want is to live a quiet life, enjoying the simple pleasures of family life with my wife and daughters, and remaining an unknown figure.

Yun Changkong frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "How come this person, as the leader of the number one gang in the world, has no ambition or drive at all?"

Seeing his master's furrowed brow and utterly dejected expression, Wang Xiaotian smiled and said, "Master, don't worry. Brother Yun's martial arts are unparalleled; he should be able to help you and spare you the suffering of the backlash from the rebellious energy." Chang Kong laughed and said, "Chief Shi has taken on such a fine disciple; his mantle has been passed on. What is there to be upset about?"

Shi Huolong sighed and said, "My master entrusted me to find a good successor to carry on the heavy responsibility of the Beggars' Sect. Unfortunately, although the Beggars' Sect has many members, there are no truly outstanding talents. Xiaotian is commendable for his filial piety, but his talent is limited. I will have to trouble Brother Yun to take care of him."

Chang Kong smiled and said, "You're too kind."

Wang Xiaotian said, "Brother Yun, my master's arms are immobile. Please come forward and take his pulse."

Chang Kong bowed and said, "I have offended you in a presumptuous manner. I hope the leader will forgive me."

Shi Huolong laughed and said, "You're here to help me, what's the big deal? Go ahead and do whatever you want."

Chang Kong crouched down close, picked up Shi Huolong's right arm, and felt it was like a soft snake. He immediately took his pulse and sent a stream of true energy into it. The true energy traveled through the Yin Qiao and then through the Yang Qiao.

Shi Huolong's body trembled. He immediately sensed the flow of true energy through the air, and the burning sensation in his body intensified, as if a hot knife had sliced ​​through him.

Yun Changkong then followed the Yangwei and Yinwei meridians, but felt quite obstructed. Suddenly, his true energy surged, flowing from the Yinqiao meridian into the Yangwei meridian, and then from the Yangwei meridian into the Yinwei meridian.

Yun Changkong felt that the true energy flowed through his "eight extraordinary meridians" with very little obstruction.

But Shi Huolong felt the Changkong True Qi growing hotter and hotter, as if his meridians were about to burst into flames. He was already drenched in sweat and could hardly bear it, so he couldn't help but groan.
Wang Xiaotian was shocked. He exclaimed, "Brother Yun!"

Yun Changkong hurriedly withdrew his hand, but his true energy burrowed into Shi Huolong's heart like a venomous snake.

Shi Huolong quickly channeled his internal energy to dispel the heat. In the past, when the rebellious energy flared up, he could suppress it. But today, as he continuously circulated his internal energy, the scorching heat not only did not subside, but its momentum grew stronger, like a red-hot knife rampaging through his meridians, causing Shi Huolong to curl up in pain.

Wang Xiaotian was in a state of utter confusion. When he looked at Yun Changkong, he saw that Yun Changkong also had his eyes closed and his face was flushed.

It turned out that Yun Changkong had also sensed something was wrong. He was in a hurry to save people and had no time to think. He was about to use his pure yang finger to stimulate Shi Huolong's yin meridian acupoint to dissipate his yang energy.

As a result, when he tried to circulate his energy using this method, his true energy reached the Chong meridian, but he couldn't go any further, which made him blush with embarrassment.

In the past, when he used the "Pure Yang Finger," his true energy moved as easily as his own arm and fingers, but this time it wouldn't obey his commands.

If Wang Chongyang and Zhou Botong could know this from beyond the grave, they would surely say, "You're dreaming!"

It should be noted that both Wang Chongyang and Zhou Botong were exceptionally talented grandmasters. However, Wang Chongyang severed his emotional ties with the Sword of Wisdom, and Zhou Botong always harbored resentment over losing his virginity and being unable to cultivate his senior brother's divine skills.

In reality, it's because those divine skills and martial arts were all created by masters with painstaking effort. If it's said to be a virgin body, then one must be a virgin body!

If one can still perform a technique even without primordial yang energy, wouldn't that mean the technique can be used in any way?

If Yun Changkong's martial arts knowledge is comparable to Wang Chongyang's, he is a grandmaster of martial arts, and his mastery of the Pure Yang Finger technique is also at its peak. If you want to make changes, you will need time and careful consideration!
How can we allow him to use it at will?

Wang Xiaotian was at a loss. Why did Yun Changkong take his master's pulse and cause such a big reaction?

Yun Changkong was lost in thought for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward, pressed down on Shi Huolong's back and lower abdomen, and used the Sticky Technique from the Quanzhen Martial Arts to draw out his own wisp of true energy.

Shi Huolong's pain lessened, but he was drenched in sweat.

Wang Xiaotian helped his master sit up straight, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes, and said, "How could this happen?"

Yun Changkong, with a sullen face, took Shi's pulse for a while longer, then shook his head and said, "There is a reverse flow of Yang energy between the three Yang meridians in Chief Shi's hand. It was only when my true energy entered his body that this happened! I was reckless!"

He now understood Shi Huolong somewhat; any ambition or vigor would be worn away by such pain! He couldn't help but feel ashamed of his earlier thoughts.

Shi Huolong let out a long breath and said, "This matter has nothing to do with Brother Yun."

It turns out that Shi Huolong was fully aware of this.

It is important to know that in martial arts, there is a distinction between internal and external, and between movement and stillness.

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is an external martial art that requires coordination of hand, eye, mind, footwork, and breathing. When mastered, it can also generate internal energy.

Contrary to what many people believe, cultivating internal strength cannot be achieved solely through internal martial arts. External martial arts can also be used to cultivate internal strength.

Internal energy exercises like sitting cross-legged and breathing can also be called static exercises. The internal energy flows through the meridians, and even if it causes great turmoil, it cannot be seen from the outside.

Therefore, when Shi Huolong practiced the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, he misdirected his internal energy, causing a surge of Lesser Yang energy to block between the Hand Yangming Large Intestine Meridian, the Hand Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian, and the Hand Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian. As a result, the Qi could not descend and the blood could not ascend, and the blood could not return to its proper channels, which led to paralysis of both arms.

As the leader of Shi Huolong's gang, he was naturally ashamed to talk about this, and he was also interested in seeing Yun Changkong's abilities. Who knew that he would suffer such a great injustice?
If the Shaolin monks, Wang Chongyang, or the founder of the Dragon Subduing Palm were to see this situation, they would surely shake their heads in disbelief.

It is important to know that the saying "the dragon soars too high and will regret it" means that when a dragon flies to the highest point, it will inevitably regret its excessiveness.

It essentially tells people that when things or behaviors exceed a certain limit and reach their peak, they often turn in the opposite direction, leading to adverse consequences!
It serves as a reminder to know how to exercise restraint, maintain a balanced lifestyle, and avoid going to extremes.

Shi Huolong's practice of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms went awry because he lacked the ability to "transform old yang into young yin," which caused his body to become extremely yang-dominant.

Yun Changkong's Arhat Subduing Demon Skill is also full of masculine energy, and once it enters the body, it's like adding fuel to the fire.

Although Yun Changkong was highly skilled in martial arts and his martial arts theory was theoretical and eloquent, he ultimately suffered from the lack of written text in the "Arhat Subduing Demon Skill," revealing his shallow understanding. Although he did not kill Shi Huolong, he still caused him to expend a great deal of internal energy, leaving him drenched in sweat and exhausted.

Wang Xiaotian asked, "Brother Yun, is there any way?"

Yun Changkong thought for a moment and said, "Chief Shi, over the years, have you ever thought of any way to help yourself?"

Shi Huolong let out a long sigh and said, "If Master Yideng were still alive, he should be able to help me with his One-Finger Divine Skill!"

Yun Changkong frowned slightly and said, "This shouldn't work, right? One-Finger Divine Skill is also pure Yang energy. You suffer from pain when you see Yang energy, how can you withstand it?"

Shi Huolong laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. Although One Finger is a yang-style finger technique, like the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, when it reaches its highest level, extreme yang turns into yin."

"The extreme of hardness turns into softness?" Yun Changkong was shocked and murmured, "I have never encountered this realm before!"

Wang Xiaotian asked, "Master, what is meant by 'extreme hardness turns into softness'?"

Shi Huolong smiled and said, "To give you an example, if you slap a table and can leave a palm print without the teacups around it shaking, or if you run your finger across a table and want to leave a fingerprint, you have to use force, and cracks will be left around the area where your finger ran."

So you might be able to crush gold and jade with your fingers, but you might not be able to deeply engrave words on a table.

In fact, let alone carving, even writing a few words would result in a distorted and unrecognizable shape, with absolutely no outline of the characters!

However, to cultivate finger strength to the point where it is both extremely firm and resilient, the finger force becomes smooth and effortless, moving without any obstruction wherever it goes.

Yun Changkong nodded.

It's like an ordinary person can insert their finger into a smooth piece of tofu, but it's absolutely impossible to make a deep inscription!
Even if you write on the surface of tofu with your finger, it will leave a mark on the tofu outside of the writing.

Wang Xiaotian couldn't help but ask, "Master, how do I cultivate this?"

Shi Huolong said, "This can only be understood intuitively, how can it be explained in words? If it were that simple, wouldn't one master be able to teach a group of masters!"

Yun Changkong nodded; he hadn't grasped that level of understanding.

Wang Xiaotian then asked, "Does that mean there's no one else in the world who knows the One-Finger Divine Skill?"

"Yes!" Shi Huolong nodded and said, "There is a Zhu Wu Lianhuan Manor in the Kunlun Mountains of the Western Regions. They are the descendants of Wu Santong, a disciple of Master Yideng, and Zhu Ziliu."

Wang Xiaotian exclaimed happily, "Then shall we go find them?"

Shi Huolong chuckled and said, "Zhu Changling and Wu Lie's One-Finger Divine Skill is not even as good as Wu Santong's in the past, let alone Master Yideng. How could they possibly help me?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Changkong thought to himself, "Are these two really that useless? They're not even as good as Wu Santong."

Then Shi Huolong said, "Furthermore, Master Yideng was taught the Innate Skill by True Man Chongyang, and his finger strength is no longer comparable to the original Dali Duan family's One-Finger Divine Skill."

Yun Changkong said, "Chief Shi, I can't help you with your injury for now. However, my internal energy contains yin and yang, and is both hard and soft. It's just that my mastery of the technique used to lean more towards the yang aspect. Later, I learned some Quanzhen martial arts, but I only practiced them for a few months, so my mastery is quite limited."

The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is a supreme martial art. I don't understand the specifics of how or why it's used in that way, so I can't prescribe the right remedy. This time, I'm also planning to retreat into seclusion and cultivate diligently. Let's keep each other company, discuss things together, and I'm sure we can heal your injury!

Shi Huolong laughed heartily, stood up, and said, "Alright, let's discuss this together."

Wang Xiaotian laughed and said, "Great, Brother Yun, with you practicing martial arts with me, I'm even more motivated."

Chang Kong laughed and said, "I'm not going to practice martial arts this time; I'm going to study."

"read?"

Chang Kong laughed heartily.

The three of them left Luoyan Cave.

The climate of Wutai Mountain is cool and refreshing, with exotic flowers and rare herbs vying for beauty. There are also many lush and vigorous cypress trees. It is truly refreshing to be here, and all worldly worries disappear. Yun Changkong stayed here for two years.

In the past two years, Yun Changkong has spent every day either studying various Buddhist scriptures at Wanghai Temple or facing the Bohai Sea, holding a wooden fish, meditating and practicing Zen, braving wind and rain without interruption.

This led Shi Huolong and Wang Xiaotian to believe that he was truly going to convert to Buddhism and spend his life with a Buddhist lamp and a wooden fish.

But Yun Changkong's way of life also allowed him to learn the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and the Dog-Beating Stick Technique.

This wasn't because Yun Changkong hadn't learned it. It was because Shi Huolong discussed the profound meaning of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms with him, and he unknowingly mastered it.

As for the Dog-Beating Stick Technique, Shi Huolong taught it to his apprentices, but Wang Xiaotian didn't learn it. Over time, Shi Huolong learned it himself.

This "Dog-Beating Stick Technique" is the treasure of the Beggars' Sect. While its moves are indeed profound, its secrets and mental techniques are especially wondrous. It contains ingenious techniques such as "entanglement," "mixing," "chopping," "stabbing," "picking," "leading," "sealing," and "turning," employing feints and deceptions that are unpredictable and truly difficult to defend against. Naturally, it is also extremely difficult to learn.

However, due to the Beggars' Sect's rules, this incantation and mental technique must be passed down orally and cannot be written down. Therefore, Shi Huolong could only patiently teach Wang Xiaotian so that he could remember it.

Over time, Yun Changkong gradually learned to listen.

That day, Yun Changkong was meditating on Wanghai Peak when he heard a person's light footsteps approaching from behind him.
