The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 173 Don’t worry, let them play for a while first!
Huang Yaoshi stared at him coldly, his tone was very impolite. Although Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng were traitors to his sect, no matter how big the resentment was, it had long since dissipated after so many years. In addition, Lu Chengfeng and Wu Mianfeng were dead, and there was no news of the others. Upon hearing the news about these two disciples, his mood was rarely shaken.

Nine Yin Manual? The martial arts my teacher taught me were from the Nine Yin Manual? No wonder he said not to mention this to outsiders. How could Guo Jing not know the name of the Nine Yin Manual?

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and his tone was also a bit cold, "Senior, I found this martial art next to the skeletons of the couple, and I learned it by myself. No one else taught me!"

Unexpectedly, Huang Yaoshi burst into laughter, with a hint of anger on his face. "Guo Jing, do you think I'm a three-year-old child? My two disciples are not virtuous people. If you really practiced the martial arts they left behind, you would probably be dead long ago! Who taught you?"

Guo Jing felt something was wrong. He had forgotten the names of the two evil spirits, but he had already said it, so he could only stand firm and said, "Senior, this is the truth. Believe it or not."

Seeing the tension between the two, Huang Rong stepped forward immediately, "Dad, calm down first, is there any misunderstanding?" She then looked at Guo Jing, "Guo Jing, the Nine Yin Manual is very important to my father, as well as my brothers and sisters. If you really got it from their corpses, please tell my father the address so that we can go and collect their bodies."

On one side was her father, and on the other was the person she loved. In addition, the Nine Yin Manual was of great importance. Huang Rong was caught in the middle and could only try her best to ease the situation. But this matter was not as simple as she imagined, and this piece of heart was destined to be let down.

Guo Jing's tone softened and he shook his head slightly, "Miss Huang, it's not that I didn't want to do this, but I was still young at the time and I can't remember where they were buried. Please forgive me."

With Huang Rong around, and Huang Yaoshi having given him a lot of effective suggestions before, Guo Jing decided to give in and not conflict with him.

But after he said this, Huang Yaoshi became even more certain that he was lying, "Rong'er, don't worry about this matter. This concerns the Nine Yin Scriptures, and I must get to the bottom of it." After saying that, he grabbed her wrist and flicked it gently. Huang Rong suddenly felt a subtle force spreading throughout her body, and then landed three feet away.

Huang Yaoshi still stared at him and said slowly, "For Rong'er's sake, I can let you off the hook for secretly learning the Nine Yin Manual, but I want you to write down the martial arts skills and return them to me, and promise not to pass them on to anyone else!"

This is only Guo Jing. If it were anyone else, Huang Yaoshi would have captured him, crippled his martial arts, and forced him to tell the whole story. The Nine Yin Scriptures involved his apprentice and his deceased wife, so he had to get it back no matter what.

Don't think that Huang Yaoshi is a kind person. Those mute slaves on Peach Blossom Island, and in the original novel, when he first met Mei Chaofeng, he injected a tarsal needle into her and ordered her to kill all those who had read the Nine Yin Scriptures. After that, he also asked her to abandon the Nine Yin Scriptures she had learned. He only gave her a wrong name, but not a wrong nickname. This shows his kindness.

However, Guo Jing secretly groaned in his heart. If things were really as he said, there would be nothing wrong in agreeing to him. But he lied. Su Ming only taught him two martial arts. How could he have memorized the complete Nine Yin Scriptures for him?
On a high building, Ouyang Feng heard their words from afar, his eyes shining with joy, and he looked at Guo Jing with greed in his eyes. This kid actually got the Nine Yin Scriptures, no wonder he was so young but had such high martial arts skills!
Thinking of this, his desire for the Nine Yin Scriptures became even stronger. If he could get the Nine Yin Scriptures and comprehend them carefully, he would definitely be able to reach a higher level. Who knows, he might even become the number one among the Five Great Masters!
As for Su Ming, he never dared to imagine that he could surpass him. Even Wang Chongyang, who had obtained the Nine Yin Scriptures back then, was not as powerful as him. The gap between them could not be bridged by just one martial art.

Hong Qigong on the side seemed to be more open-minded and did not have much covetous look on his face. He chuckled and said, "Hehe, this kid is really lucky. Back then, our Five Supremes fought for several days and nights over the Nine Yin Manual, and in the end it was obtained by Wang Chongyang. After he obtained the Nine Yin Manual, he did not pass it on to others, and eventually the Nine Yin Manual disappeared. I didn't expect it to fall into his hands."

"No wonder he was able to practice the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms to such a high level. This old beggar almost thought he had lived in vain all these years."

Guo Jing's words made Su Ming feel relieved. He would rather face the pressure from Huang Yaoshi alone than tell anyone about this matter. Although he has changed a lot, he is still the loyal and righteous Guo Jing at heart.

After thinking for a while, he spoke up to dispel their misunderstanding, "You are wrong. Although the Nine Yin Manual is a rare and unique skill in the world, even if you get it, it will not be of much use to you. Just like Wang Chongyang back then, even if he got the Nine Yin Manual, didn't he still die young?"

"Seventh Brother, a warrior of your level has already determined his path. If you get the Nine Yin Manual, will you give up your Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and practice the unique skills in the Nine Yin Manual?"

Hearing this, Hong Qigong immediately shook his head. He was kidding. The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms was the foundation of his martial arts. If he gave up the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, his martial arts would be useless.

Su Ming continued, "Whether it's your Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, his Toad Skill, or Wang Chongyang's Xiantian Skill, I think they are no worse than the martial arts in the Nine Yin Manual. Huang Shang's strength does not lie in the Nine Yin Manual, but in the fact that he has read through the Taoist Canon and comprehended the true meaning of the Taoist Canon."

“Even if someone gets the Nine Yin Manual and practices from the beginning, they can’t become the second Huang Shang. There are countless people who know the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms of the Beggars’ Sect, but how many of them can reach the level of Brother Qi? Who in the Quanzhen Sect can inherit Wang Chongyang’s famous Xiantian Gong?”

"From this we can see that the way of martial arts lies in the person, not the skill."

Hearing this, Hong Qigong and Ouyang Feng's heart moved. They looked at each other, and a thoughtful look flashed across their faces. Such a truth had never been said by anyone before, and until today, it would be a lie to say that they had no thoughts about the Nine Yin Scriptures.

But according to what Su Ming said, it seems that the Nine Yin Scriptures did not have as much effect on them as they imagined!

Hong Qigong pondered for a moment, and some of the delusions in his mind disappeared. He nodded slightly to Su Ming, "Mr. Su, I understand your teaching. Come to think of it, it is true that the old beggar is blinded by a single leaf and cannot see the big picture."

But Ouyang Feng on the side still did not give up. At this point, the Nine Yin Scriptures had long become an obsession in his heart. How could he be easily persuaded like Hong Qigong?

If that were true, he would no longer be Ouyang Feng!

At this time, Hong Qigong stared at the two people below with a sly smile on his face, "Why don't you go down and take a look? Huang Lao Xie is going to bully your apprentice."

Su Ming looked calm, "No hurry, let them play for a while first."

……

Facing Huang Yaoshi's request, Guo Jing smiled bitterly, "Senior, when I got the Nine Yin Manual, I only managed to remember two martial arts. The rest was unfortunately destroyed in an accident before I could learn it. I can only hand over two martial arts."

Huang Yaoshi's face turned ugly again, as if he was giving him a final ultimatum, "Guo Jing, I have already made concessions to you many times, please don't push it any further. The Nine Yin Manual is of great importance. My apprentice stole the martial arts in the lower volume, which records several profound and unique skills. As long as you return the martial arts and don't pass them on to others, I will not pursue this matter anymore." "Senior, I really only remember two of the martial arts, please forgive me."

At this moment, Huang Yaoshi's limited patience had been exhausted, and he laughed in anger, "Okay, very good, it seems you really want to force me to take action!"

Guo Jing sighed inwardly, things had come to this point, "Since you want to take action, please forgive me for my rudeness!"

Huang Yaoshi put one hand behind his back, standing proudly with the bearing of a master, "You are a junior, I will let you have ten moves, so that others won't accuse me of bullying the weak!"

Facing a senior like Huang Yaoshi who has been famous for a long time, it would be a lie to say that he doesn't feel any pressure, but it is absolutely impossible for him to betray his teacher. This battle is inevitable. Guo Jing took a deep breath, mobilized his internal energy, swung his arms, and lightly jumped into the air, using the "Flying Dragon in the Sky" move.

In an instant, a strong wind swept in all directions, and a powerful dragon-shaped palm force condensed in his hand and flew out in an instant, arriving in front of Huang Yaoshi in the blink of an eye. Faced with this move, Huang Yaoshi did not dodge, but gently raised his palm and slapped out with the entry-level martial arts of Peach Blossom Island, the Green Wave Palm.

When the same palm technique fell into Huang Yaoshi's hands, its power was earth-shaking. The martial arts of Peach Blossom Island were all created by him and were very suitable for his own body. Just a light palm contained ten levels of strength.

The dragon-shaped true qi collided with his palm power, and a roar suddenly exploded in the air. The dissipated power burst out, and holes suddenly appeared on the ground. If someone appeared between them, he would definitely be blown up by these two powers.

The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are extremely powerful, and Flying Dragon in the Sky is a rare powerful move with great force. Although the power of the Green Waves Palm is not strong, it is continuous, one wave after another. After a few breaths, the two forces almost canceled out, and the last layer of force only had a tiny bit of force left in front of Guo Jing, and he dodged it with a slight flash.

As expected of being one of the five greatest masters in the world, his strength is indeed formidable!
Guo Jing was secretly shocked. The palm power that he had just gathered with all his true energy was dispersed by his casual palm. He knew that his skills and experience in the martial arts world were far inferior to those of an old senior like him, but he had no room for retreat now.

What's more, even if he loses, he may not die. Thinking of this, he glanced at Huang Rong beside him without leaving a trace. Although this is a bit shameless, he has to do it. Even if he has to resist, he can't go against the teacher's instructions!
In the blink of an eye, he made up his mind. The next moment, he turned into a shadow and rushed forward. Kang Long You Hui immediately came out and fought with Huang Yaoshi. He used all his strength from the beginning. Facing such a master, he would not allow himself to be arrogant.

A powerful palm force attacked Huang Yaoshi. Facing Guo Jing's powerful moves, Huang Yaoshi's heart trembled. He dared not be arrogant anymore and defended with all his strength. If they competed in true Qi, Guo Jing was naturally not his opponent. But the fist is afraid of the young and the stick is afraid of the old. If he was hit by a solid palm, he would definitely be injured even with his skills.

The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is a palm technique that works from the outside to the inside. While practicing it, it also tempers his physical strength. Even if he doesn't use his true energy, the force of this palm strike is definitely not small, and it will be very painful if it lands on the body.

Then, Guo Jing launched ten attacks one after another, each attack made a sonic boom. Huang Yaoshi deployed his body skills, and most of his moves fell into the air. Only a few moves were a head-on confrontation, but it was difficult to defeat him.

Guo Jing's heart gradually sank to the bottom. The gap between them was even bigger than he had imagined.

What should I do?
Hua Zheng and Huang Rong, who were watching from the sidelines, were already extremely anxious. They were all fine just now, how come they started fighting all of a sudden?
Hua Zheng thought Guo Jing was already powerful enough, but she didn't expect Huang Rong's father to be so powerful. "Sister, they are serious, you have to think of a solution quickly!"

Huang Rong looked gloomy and sighed, "Sister, I can't advise you on this matter. Don't worry, I will never let Guo Jing's life be in danger." At this moment, she was very regretful. If she had known this would happen, she would never have come!
At the same time, she secretly decided in her heart that if her father wanted to kill him, she would save him even at the risk of her life.

After ten moves, Huang Yaoshi immediately launched a counterattack. In an instant, the offense and defense changed. Huang Yaoshi's movements were light, agile and natural. Guo Jing found it difficult to catch a glimpse of him and could only rely on his intuition to fight the enemy.

"Oh!"

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Guo Jing had already received two palm strikes, but his powerful palm force made Huang Yaoshi dare not to fight with him. Physical strength plus powerful palm force is not as simple as one plus one equals two.

Although Huang Yaoshi has the advantage, it is not easy to defeat Guo Jing.

Seeing that the fight between the two was getting more and more intense, the training ground was in a mess with potholes everywhere. Hua Zheng realized that something was wrong and turned around and left. She wanted to find someone. Don't forget that there is a large army stationed outside Taiyuan City.

She would not entrust Guo Jing's life to others, so after leaving the parade ground, she wrote a handwritten letter ordering her personal soldiers to go to the camp outside the city to mobilize the army. Without Guo Jing's tiger talisman and military order, she could not mobilize the army.

But don't forget that Guo Jing has some Mongolian cavalry under his command, and she is a princess of Mongolia. With her status, she is enough to mobilize these troops. Under normal circumstances, she would not interfere with the army, but now she can't care so much.

At the gate of the mansion, Hua Zheng looked at the two children, Guo Chengping and Guo Chengan, with a gleam of determination in her eyes. If Guo Jing was really dead, she would make this father and daughter pay the price!

Then, she planned to have the two brothers sent away early.

At this moment, a voice sounded in her ears, "Don't be anxious, just be patient!"

In an instant, Hua Zheng's body trembled and her pretty face showed deep surprise. Guo Jing was saved!
Su Ming walked in from outside and looked at Hua Zheng with a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He had not intended to show up so early. If this continued, people in the city would surely be in panic and a political farce would break out.

He had already asked Hong Qigong and his men to intercept the personal soldiers who were delivering the letter. If the army really entered the city, it would be a complete waste of resources.
