Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

"That demon is truly a great demon! He's actually cultivated to such a level!"

An elderly master of martial arts, dressed in a white robe and with jet-black hair and beard, looked grim, his sharp eyes filled with murderous intent as he stared at Wang Sheng.

"My name is Meng Ting. May I ask where you come from, and if you would dare to leave your name and sect?"

Grandmaster Lao Hejin stood atop a restaurant, cupped his hands, and asked Wang Sheng.

"Hahaha!"

"Gentlemen, why should we need to have known each other before to meet?"

"Thank you for your generous gift. I will be leaving now. Ershui City is yours."

Seeing that the official grandmaster dared not act rashly, Wang Sheng chuckled and took a step to leave.

He was not worried that he would be hunted down by the authorities and the imperial army after he left.

It's no use getting too close; he can just run back.

They chased too far, and the officials and the imperial army were enemies. How could they trust each other and abandon the vast city of Ershui?

"Are you from the Wheel-Turning Sect or the Moonflower Sect?"

Meng Ting stared intently at Wang Sheng's enormous face covered in scales, trying to find a flaw in his features.

however,

As an ancient body cultivator, Wang Sheng had far greater control over his flesh and blood than Meng Ting. Not only did he change his appearance, but he also made it impossible for Meng Ting to detect any trace of his alteration.

Bang bang bang!

Wang Sheng activated his Mountain of Flesh form and walked heavily toward the city gate.

No one stopped them.

"I'm not a demon!"

"I am a pitiful person too."

"Throughout my cultivation journey, my fellow disciples have all bullied me. My master has left me to my own devices, letting us choose our own fates. I have no choice but to kill, kill, kill!"

"Finally, I became my master's confidant and gained the respect and love of many fellow disciples. But my master was still dissatisfied with me and unwilling to pass on the profound teachings to me!"

"What can I do! What can I do?!"

With his back to everyone, Wang Sheng helplessly revealed his true feelings, detailing the hardships he had endured during his cultivation journey, before striding away.

He didn't believe he was a demon. Everything he did was simply to protect himself.

He went to great lengths to explain, simply to prevent others from threatening to kill him and endanger his life. He was still too kind!

Many people were moved by Wang Sheng's heartfelt words and the sincerity in his speech. They believed that Wang Sheng's words were true and whispered among themselves that there was such a demonic force in Jiangling Prefecture!

Upon hearing this, Meng Ting's expression changed drastically, his face becoming even more grave, and a chill ran down his spine as he pondered the matter.

"Could it be that another powerful figure in the demonic path has emerged within Jiangling Manor? Otherwise, how could they have cultivated such a powerful disciple!"

"This person's master is probably a truly ruthless and heartless demon. To allow such a talented disciple to cultivate an ancient body-refining technique with an extremely high mortality rate, and to raise Gu poison within the sect while his disciples slaughter each other like dirt—truly ruthless!"

"He's not even satisfied with this kind of disciple; it seems this devil's master has far-reaching ambitions. We must be wary!"

Meng Ting was filled with fear and unease. He was worried that Jiangling Prefecture was already in chaos enough, and now another demonic force had appeared! And this demonic force, which advocated ancient body-refining techniques, was even more ruthless!

not far away,

Among a group of Grandmasters of Internal Energy,

Zhao Jie complained to He Wei with a hint of helplessness, "I don't know why, but seeing this great demon suddenly reminded me of my good-for-nothing disciple, Wang Sheng!"

"That Wang Sheng is really a worry for me! Among these disciples, Wang Sheng, in particular, has disappointed me greatly."

"Weiwei, it's truly a blessing for Wang Sheng to take you on as his disciple. However, you'd better stay away from him in the future; he's no good!"

Zhao Jie certainly wouldn't associate the demon in front of him who could kill a Grandmaster of the Harmony Realm with Wang Sheng.

After all, just a month or two ago, Wang Sheng could fight Zhao Jie to a standstill.

This demon is now capable of severing all internal energy. Even if someone were to reveal that Wang Sheng is this demon, Zhao Jie would never believe it, not even if he were beaten to death.

"Please, Dean Zhao, show some respect and address me as Dean He."

Wearing a white fitted long dress, her pretty face veiled, He Wei, with her cool and captivating temperament, spoke calmly.

"Furthermore, I am quite satisfied with Wang Sheng. If Headmaster Zhao is dissatisfied, then expel him from the sect and give him to me."

Zhao Jie's lips twitched upon hearing this, feeling depressed. After thinking for a moment, he realized that He Wei and Wang Sheng hadn't had much contact, so it was probably because Wang Sheng was good-looking that He Wei had taken a liking to him.

"What good is a pretty face? In this world, connections matter!"

Zhao Jie cursed inwardly, his eyes unconsciously glancing at He Wei out of the corner of his eye.

He suddenly felt that He Wei's temperament had recently become more aloof and mature, and she seemed to have a better figure and more charm!

the other side.

After leaving Ershui City and returning to normal, Wang Sheng went far away, intending to take a long detour before returning.

On his way, he saw many soldiers conscripting men into the army.

"Prime Minister He's plan is about to succeed!"

Wang Sheng muttered to himself.

Previously, all the troops in the city had been transferred to support the prefectural city. This time, the chaos in Ershui City lasted for several months. He Xiangjun took the opportunity to recruit several thousand good men from good families, including some Ming Jin martial artists, into the army.

Now, he's sending these good men around to conscript men, and he'll probably be able to build an army of tens of thousands in a short time.

"But we're almost at our wits' end. If all these able-bodied men die, either we'll repel the rebels, or Jiangling Prefecture will perish!"

"Once the official and imperial army release their results, we should find an opportunity to take our family away from Ershui City and head to Tiannan Prefecture."

As darkness fell, Wang Sheng entered Ershui City and returned to Mudfish Street.

"The trial period for Lord Danyang has ended. Now I'm just a novice Ming Jin martial artist!"

After returning to the Wang family and comforting his mother, Wang Sheng looked at the pile of Ziyang Pills he had acquired in his secluded cultivation room and said with considerable satisfaction.

Of the thirty Ziyang Pills he extorted, he still had seven left from the ones he had previously refined, and he got four more from the Bai family.

Wang Sheng currently possesses forty-one Purple Sun Pills, each lasting for three days, enough for him to cultivate for a period of time.

"Unfortunately, the woman in black robes did not possess any secret techniques for combining internal energy. She only had a manual called 'Qi-Growing Technique' for transforming internal energy."

"That old bitch also has a martial arts technique called Meteor Kung Fu."

Wang Sheng put down the pills and picked up two animal skin books next to him. He flipped through them and was somewhat disappointed.

He discovered that those unofficial masters, lacking sufficient safe locations, all preferred to carry their techniques with them, like Zhao Jie and that old bitch.

Official experts, on the other hand, cultivate standard techniques issued by the imperial court. These techniques are kept in sufficiently safe locations, like the official Grandmaster of Internal Energy encountered at the Bai family, and this woman in black robes. Therefore, they do not need personal protection, nor are they allowed to carry them with them.

The long qigong, with old bloodstains and annotations from other families, most likely came from a murder and robbery committed by the woman in black.

"I'll focus on cultivation first. I'm afraid my way out still lies in ancient body-refining techniques."

Wang Sheng muttered to himself.

then,

Wang Sheng immersed himself in intensive training.

Outside Mudfish Street, they're always locked in a fierce battle.

The official forces and the imperial army fought each other relentlessly.

The Grandmaster of Combined Strength personally fought several battles, and the Grandmaster of Transformation Strength led his men in repeated battles. Apart from the fact that many people died in the end, no one could defeat the other.

Wang Sheng secluded himself in the closed cultivation room, steadily cultivating and improving his cultivation level.

More than half a month later,

After consuming six Ziyang Pills, Wang Sheng's progress reached 6700/10000, and he successfully upgraded the Great Monument Smashing Hand to the late stage of Transformation Force, doubling his strength.

He has also mastered the Hundred Waves Technique, Long Qi Gong, and Meteor Technique to the point of mastering the power of transforming internal energy.

By this point, Wang Sheng had mastered five types of transforming force: sticky needle force, bone-dissolving force, hundred-wave force, long-lasting force, and meteor force.

Five times the strength of an ordinary master of internal energy.

Meng Lian'er helped Wang Sheng refine ten Body Refining Pills using a large amount of medicinal herbs that he had stolen from the Bai family.

All ten pills were used up within half a month.

The Eight-Line Horizontal Breathing Technique allowed him to complete the cultivation of kidney essence.

Wang Sheng's hearing was therefore extremely developed; if he exerted all his strength, he could hear the sound of blood flowing in a person's veins and the sound of ants moving house.

When used in combat, it can defend against almost all hidden weapon attacks.

Next, he began cultivating the Heart Flame, for the heart is the lifeblood of a person. After tempering his heart, Wang Sheng's blood and energy would become even more vigorous, his defense would double, and his strength would greatly increase.

Both the Tortoise Shell Kung Fu and the Black Water Purple Extreme Kung Fu have made progress.

Just as Wang Sheng realized that the battle outside was still undecided and he was about to continue his cultivation, Luo Zhengwen came to his door and conveyed Zhao Jie's message.

"What does Master mean! He said his disciples are all useless and too many have died recently. How can you blame me? It's because he doesn't know how to teach his disciples."

"How could he possibly let a mere Ming Jin martial artist shoulder the responsibility of leading the Zhao Family Martial Academy!"

After hearing Senior Brother Luo's purpose, Wang Sheng was very displeased and directly asked Senior Brother Luo to relay his original words to Zhao Jie.

Luo Zhengwen gave a wry smile and helplessly touched his nose.

Even if he was foolish, the Luo family, whose strength had been greatly diminished, had lived a more stable life than before since moving to Mudfish Street, without suffering any harm. Naturally, they also came to know how powerful their junior brother was.

"Junior brother. Master said you are interested in ancient body-refining techniques. He knows where to find a large number of ancient body-refining methods."

Luo Zhengwen revealed Zhao Jie's bargaining chip.
