"Now that we've returned to Ryukyu ahead of schedule, we'll temporarily refrain from interfering in the changes in the Central Plains. It's also good that you and Wanjing marry soon..."

Before Shan Meixian could finish speaking, she suddenly felt the giant ship beneath her sway violently. Her expression changed slightly, and before she could utter a word, a messenger burst through the door, panting…

"Madam! Someone has trespassed on the Dongming and has already killed many of our brothers!"

Saying it was an unauthorized trespassing is not accurate at all.

Bai Wujie and his group are clearly here to openly act as robbers.

After effortlessly finding the Dongming, Xu Ziling, who volunteered, fully demonstrated the spirit of "killing to protect life"... turning the guards into ice sculptures one by one before they could rush up and cause trouble.

The way these people talk is always foolish and bullying, and the clichéd development will inevitably turn into a scene where the protagonist gets slapped in the face.

But Xu Ziling understood that the master behind him was not the protagonist of any storybook!

Bai Wujie, who desperately wanted something, could easily have killed everyone on the ship except Shan Meixian. Xu Ziling didn't want to see a bloodbath, so he had no choice but to make the first move.

The result of acting rashly was obvious: when Bai Wujie and his group arrived on the deck, they were already surrounded by twenty or thirty warriors.

When they told Xu Ziling to take action, Kou Zhong and Bai Wujie were really just watching the show.

Ever since a certain switch was turned on, Kou Zhong seemed quite happy to see his good brother struggling with his dilemma.

Xu Ziling remained expressionless; whether he was conflicted or not was irrelevant, he was anything but gentle with his blows.

The moves of Huangji Ice Seal Breaker changed and separated in his hands. Bai Wujie's assessment of him was correct. Compared to Kou Zhong, he was more suited to playing with such intricate moves.

His powerful and sweeping moves were transformed into ice bullets fired from his fingertips. Without any fancy tricks, every samurai who came into contact with these ice bullets was instantly turned into an ice sculpture, along with their weapons!

It's probably impossible to save them. Their organs and blood have frozen solid in an instant. Even if they had "internal strength," they couldn't be saved.

Unless Bai Wujie intervenes, they will remain as immobile "corpses".

"Who is this expert who dares to trespass on my Dongming Sect?!"

Finally, a somewhat presentable middle-aged man appeared, and Xu Ziling said calmly...

"We want to see Shan Meixian. Lead the way, or die."

Having spent a lot of time with Bai Wujie, Xu Ziling probably doesn't know how to speak politely anymore. A crab that's used to walking sideways and domineeringly probably won't walk upright anymore. And having spent a lot of time with a madman, he probably won't be able to speak normally anymore.

"How dare you speak so arrogantly! You petty thief deserve to die!!"

Then a sharp shout was heard, and a beautiful young girl in a crimson dress with long black hair rushed out from the side behind, wielding a sword, her movements swift and fierce.

"Princess, no!"

The samurai leader cried out in alarm, but it was too late. Xu Ziling didn't even have to make a move before an ice bullet he had fired directly struck the tip of the sword... The next moment, the black-haired girl was turned into a large ice sculpture on the spot, her face filled with terror.

"Oh dear, Young Master Ling, we came here to snatch the secret manual for our boss, how come you started by killing someone's daughter? You're even more terrifying than me!"

Kou Zhong said with a grin, his tone carrying a hint of malicious malice—but he was simply having fun.

Xu Ziling was somewhat exasperated, but seemed to realize he had messed things up. He secretly glanced at Bai Wujie, who seemed completely unconcerned.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what a beautiful girl." Kou Zhong chuckled as he stepped forward to look at the girl in the ice sculpture. Her face was delicate and beautiful, her elegance refined and otherworldly, truly an unparalleled beauty.

Kou Zhong had no intention of showing any pity or tenderness towards women; he seemed to believe that no one in this world was immune to death.

"Wanjing!"

A shrill, heart-wrenching scream rang out, and a beautiful young woman, bearing a resemblance to the girl, rushed towards them, accompanied by a frail, tall, and hunched old man.

His eyes, deep in wrinkles, gleamed with a strange purple light, seemingly both divine and unfathomable.

"Madam, be careful!"

The old man shouted and pulled the beautiful young woman behind him. Facing a flying ice bullet, he gathered his strength to block it!

Beneath the rising purple aura, Shang Gong, the number one expert of the Dongming Sect, exuded an imposing aura!

But those terrifying ice bullets were even more frightening than he had imagined!

The moment they made contact, the wall of energy he had created instantly solidified out of thin air... At the same time, terrifying frost spread directly over half of his body along with the energy, and the terrifying cold penetrated his body relentlessly!

Terrifying! The top expert of the Dongming Sect was defeated so easily, and the young man who accomplished all of this didn't even raise his hand.

"Oh, Young Master Ling, you're much more decisive than me. Looks like I can't call you a nag anymore," Kou Zhong said with a grin.

"Shut up, you idiot!" Xu Ziling cursed irritably.

"You...you're the group that wiped out the Sea Sand Gang?"

Shang Ming pointed at Kou Zhong and Bai Wujie in horror. Regardless of their appearance, their strange attire was definitely very distinctive!

At this moment, even if he regretted believing Shan Meixian's words, it was too late. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, his fiancée was dead, and his ancestors had been beaten into a pile of ice pops. Everything he was proud of was now just fish on someone else's chopping board!

What use are family background, appearance, wealth, and status—these meaningless things? Kou Zhong looked at the terrified Shang Ming, revealing his gleaming white teeth as he smiled. In this world, only power matters!

"You are Shan Meixian? Zhu Yuyan is your mother?"

Bai Wujie had observed everything coldly before finally speaking. He looked at the beautiful woman who hated him intensely and said slowly...

"That makes things easier. I want your Heavenly Demon Strategy, write it down for me as much as you have, and all your martial arts manuals as well."

"Hand them over and you'll be spared death. I'll even rescue your daughter. I don't care if you're tough; it'll just take some time to kill everyone on your ship."

Simple words, yet at this moment they possessed an immensely threatening power! Shan Meixian felt grief and indignation, but could only lower her beautiful head…

"Yes……"

"Oh, by the way, just bring whatever you want." Bai Wujie walked directly into the cabin, and said casually to Kou Zhong beside him before leaving...

"Hey, thanks, boss." Kou Zhong grinned, looking just like a lowly sycophant beside a major villain!

Kou Zhong looked at the beautiful woman, and his request was...

14. Heavenly Demon Technique

From today onwards, the Dongming Sect will be surnamed Kou.

There were no conspiracies or schemes, no power struggles or intrigues... because only the weak would engage in such impure activities.

There's nothing shameful about submitting to absolute violence... After all, the truly shameful, hard-hearted people are all dead now.

The goods that the Dongming Sect had transported to Yuhang were all handed over to Yun Yuzhen... But Kou Zhong was not so domineering; he still paid her every penny she owed.

However, the Dongming Sect was completely bound to Kou Zhong's side from then on.

He got hold of that deadly ledger, and the Dongming Sect was forced to offend other customers by selling the goods to the Giant Shark Gang. In the future, even if they wanted to do business and pledge allegiance to one side, they would find it difficult to be trusted.

Moreover, the vivid and bloody examples of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling have already shown everyone in the Dongming Faction that they will not reason with those who defy them.

Gaining the submission of a faction is that simple; after all, people are unlikely to be afraid of a dignified and imposing swordsman...

But you'd definitely be afraid of a crazy guy who'd storm into your house without hesitation and wipe out your entire fortune!

Of course, they might outwardly comply but inwardly defy him, or they might try some underhanded tactics, but Kou Zhong didn't care. Loyalty would be earned after victory, and any ridiculous little tricks would be meaningless under the executioner's blade!

Wei Zhenzhen felt somewhat sorry for the Dongming Sect members, thinking that Kou Zhong had gone too far. But Bai Wujie's mocking remark left Wei Zhenzhen speechless.

—You, a concubine who is bought and sold like a commodity, don't feel sorry for yourself... Instead, you feel sorry for a group of well-dressed and well-fed people who sell arms in this chaotic world?

These words are hurtful, but they are the reality.

Perhaps what Kou Zhong did was seen by the world as the reckless behavior of a bunch of madmen, but when it comes to deserving to die, they were all the same.

Shan Meixian felt extremely humiliated, but there was nothing she could do.

After all, this group of people not only possessed unbelievably high martial arts skills, but they also didn't care about "reason" at all in their conduct.

How did you manage to deal with a group of unreasonable and incredibly powerful beings?

Even if Su Qin and Zhang Yi were alive, they would be nothing but idiots in front of these madmen!

The only thing to be thankful for is that these self-centered madmen, despite their eccentric behavior, still keep their promises.

After Shan Meixian handed over all the secret manuals of the Dongming Sect and the Heavenly Demon Technique as promised, Bai Wujie rescued Shan Wanjing.

Then she went to cause trouble for Xu Ziling.

After killing people unnecessarily, Xu Ziling changed from his decisive and ruthless demeanor to becoming indecisive and fussy.

Faced with a beautiful girl wielding a sword who was about to stab him in two places, he actually chose to tolerate and persuade her.

But no matter how much he reasoned, he probably couldn't even convince himself, so the scene turned into a very romantic comedy.

Kou Zhong happily went over to enjoy his brother's gossipy stories, while Bai Wujie began to study the martial arts manual.

Putting aside the martial arts of the Dongming Sect, the greatest gain from this trip was naturally this Heavenly Demon Great Art.

Yes, this thing doesn't seem to be the Heavenly Demon Strategy. Or rather, according to Shan Meixian, the original ten volumes of the Heavenly Demon Strategy, compiled by the Holy Sect's founder "Heavenly Demon" Cang Qu from various schools of thought, had long since been fragmented within the Holy Sect due to war and internal strife, and have now been lost as four different cultivation techniques—

These are four secret manuals: "The Art of Escape from Punishment," "The Secret of the Heavenly Demon," "The Great Method of Planting Demons in the Heart of the Dao," and "Records of Random Thoughts on the Demonic Path."

The Heavenly Demon Great Art originated from the lost Heavenly Demon Secrets... while the whereabouts of the other four parts are almost entirely unknown, but most of them must still be in the hands of the disciples of the two sects and six paths.

The Heavenly Demon Technique that Shan Meixian handed over was also incomplete.

The Heavenly Demon Great Art is originally divided into eighteen levels, with three forms: Heavenly Demon Qi, Heavenly Demon Sound, and Heavenly Demon Skill... However, Shan Meixian only has the details of the first fifteen levels here.

However, it's not entirely Shan Meixian's fault. The fact that she was able to leave with the power of the Heavenly Demon Art after leaving the Demonic Sect was a testament to the mercy of her Yin Empress mother, so Bai Wujie didn't punish her too harshly.

On one hand, Bai Wujie was frustrated by the fact that the thing he wanted had been smashed to pieces. On the other hand, he found the Heavenly Demon Technique quite interesting.

Putting aside the brute force aspect, this thing is a level above the Nine Profound Great Law in terms of understanding and studying the spiritual level!

Even setting that aside, the Heavenly Demon Sound, which can bewitch people and control their five senses, the Heavenly Demon Qi, which steals the life force of others, and the Heavenly Demon Technique, which roughly controls gravity and repulsion, were all of great surprise to Bai Wujie!

What he valued was not the power, but the knowledge contained in the principles of these techniques.

What can compare to the power of a rotating magnetic field?

The most valuable aspect of these martial arts is always the knowledge outside the domain, and the understanding and study of different aspects of the knowledge within the domain!

Although it is not difficult to do all this with magnetic field power, the brute force of a strong magnetic field is technically inferior to this "trivial skill".

The idea of ​​using simple methods to unlock profound truths, even if the impact is modest, is worth learning!

Of course, after 500,000 units of power comes another level... but this knowledge is the piece of the puzzle that allows Bai Wujie to further expand his cultivation techniques!

The fact that the Ultimate Monk could create the Ultimate Boundless Qi Gong using his not-so-sophisticated qigong combined with his terrifying martial arts skills speaks volumes about his talent...

Even something weak can still have an unexpectedly huge effect, and Bai Wujie can naturally develop further on this basis!

Bai Wujie locked himself in the cabin for three days, and when he came out, he had already mastered the so-called Heavenly Demon Technique.

It wasn't just the fifteenth floor; his level was beyond even Shan Meixian's comprehension.

This isn't about cheating; the magnetic field power penetrates the human body...

For a master at the highest level, simulating cultivation is something that comes naturally.

After all, the so-called power of that technique is worthless; it's just that the concepts and skills within it are quite interesting.

But in Shan Meixian's eyes, besides disbelief, this immediately gave rise to many other thoughts in this Lady Dongming.

Perhaps... perhaps all of this can be used.

That night, as Bai Wujie was experimenting with the program to amplify the frequency of the Heavenly Demon Sound by controlling the magnetic field, the door to the cabin was knocked on.

"Come in," Bai Wujie said calmly, though the visitor could not escape his senses.

Dressed in a light, flowing purple gauze dress, and with the veil that usually adorned her face removed, the alluring and beautiful woman swayed her voluptuous and captivating body as she slowly approached Bai Wujie.

"Lord Wujie, is the Heavenly Demon Technique to your liking?"

"I spoke softly," Shan Meixian said, while Bai Wujie looked at the ripe and tempting peach with great interest and smiled...

"Just say what you have to say, don't waste time."

"Lord Wujie is indeed straightforward," Shan Meixian said in a charming, soft voice, her eyes sparkling...

"I see that you, Lord Wujie, desire to obtain the Heavenly Demon Strategy. In that case, I have a strategy to assist you and help you accomplish this easily."

"Go ahead."

"As you know, my mother is none other than Empress Zhu Yuyan, the leader of the Yin Kui Sect... If she were to learn that the Heavenly Demon Technique in my possession had been stolen, she would surely come to demand an explanation."

When talking about her mother, Shan Meixian's eyes blazed with hatred... because she hated her mother, hated the mother who "failed to save her from death"!

"You want to throw out this bait to lure your mother in, so I can capture her and obtain the rest of the Heavenly Demon Strategy, right?" Bai Wujie laughed loudly.

"That's a great suggestion! I just didn't expect you to hate your mother so much. Could you tell me your story to cheer me up?"

With a flicker of her eyes, Shan Meixian's charming and mature face quickly adopted a sorrowful and melancholic expression. She sighed softly and began to slowly tell her story.
