The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 5: Forcing them to die or destroy their faction
Three months later, in the side hall of Chengde Hall.

Xi Mingzhang sat on a recliner, drinking tea and reading a book leisurely. There were several large bookshelves around him, on which were placed various martial arts secrets.

In addition to the martial arts techniques passed down by the Sun and Moon Sect since ancient times, the bookshelf also contains martial arts from various schools and sects collected over the years.

It has to be said that the Sun and Moon Sect lives up to its name as a demon sect in the martial arts world and its collection is very rich.

The Sun Moon Sect was founded by the descendants of the Ming Cult. Most of its martial arts skills have been lost. Not to mention the sect's signature skills like "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth", the only martial arts passed down by the Ming Cult's leader is the "Great Nine Heavenly Hands" which was renamed "Great Yin and Yang Palms".

Perhaps because the descendants of the Ming Cult, who founded the Sun Moon Sect, practiced palm techniques, the three styles of "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" once collected by the Ming Cult are also in the collection of the Sun Moon Sect. Unfortunately, over the years, two of them were lost, leaving only one style, "The Dragon's Regrets".

Also, because the Sun-Moon Divine Sect was extremely poor at the beginning, it developed an extremely vicious and evil demonic style.

The sect's magical skills and unique knowledge, including the incomplete copy of "Northern Divine Art", "Star Absorbing Art", "Sunflower Manual" and "Tai Chi Boxing Classics", all of them were looted.

Therefore, there is a reason why the Sun Moon Sect has such a bad reputation in the martial arts world. If it weren't for its strong fists and large number of followers, it would have been wiped out long ago.

Thanks to the Sun and Moon Sect, Xi Mingzhang is now able to learn 50% to 60% of the martial arts in the world.

It’s a pity that the original copy of “Star-Absorbing Art” was hidden somewhere by Ren Woxing. Fortunately, Xi Mingzhang was just a little curious and had no intention of practicing it, so he was not in a hurry.

Over the past three months, he has been studying various martial arts and Taoist scriptures. As a result, he has been able to draw inferences from one instance to another, and the aura of a great master has become more and more pronounced. The strange temperament that he had acquired from practicing the "Sunflower Manual" has mostly dissipated.

Now that he has come down from the Blackwood Cliff, people who don't know him will only think that he is a handsome young man with a calm temperament.

At this time, a purple-robed waiter came in with an embarrassed look on his face and said respectfully:

"Ren Yingying is outside Chengde Hall asking to see the leader."

Xi Mingzhang replied without even raising his head:

"Let her in."

"Yes."

The purple-robed waiter quickly brought in a girl of about eight or nine years old.

"Uncle Dongfang, they all said that my father died because he went too far in his practice. Is this true?"

When Xi Mingzhang put down the book in his hand and looked up, an unconcealable look of shock appeared on Ren Yingying's face.

At this moment, if she didn't feel that the Uncle Dongfang in front of her looked 60% similar to before, she would have thought that she had recognized the wrong person.

The purple-robed waiter at the side had a trace of fluctuation in his eyes when he saw this. As early as the day of the succession ceremony, the rejuvenation of the man in front of him had made countless people's scalps tingle and stirred up unspeakable waves of shock in their hearts.

His power within the sect suddenly reached a level that no previous sect leader could match. It was indeed the "Star Absorbing Technique" that absorbed people's internal energy. Although it was unimaginable and terrifying, it was really incredible that he could practice martial arts to the level of rejuvenation.

The Star Absorbing Technique absorbs people's internal energy, which can be said to be a terrifying magical skill. This set of martial arts is extraordinary, and as a martial artist, it is barely acceptable.

Only those who practice martial arts can truly understand how shocking it is to practice martial arts to the point of rejuvenation.

After all, since ancient times, no one has ever heard of such an incredible thing. At most, they can keep their appearance unchanged, but it is not as scary as returning to youth. Therefore, this is definitely not a problem of martial arts, the key is the person who practices martial arts, which makes Xi Mingzhang's reputation in the Sun Moon Sect rise again and again.

You have to know that in the past, the way the gods looked at him was more fear than admiration, but now it's the opposite.

"Yingying, your father has indeed passed away. Don't be too sad. From now on, you can still be the beloved eldest lady of Heimu Cliff." Xi Mingzhang said calmly.

"I just can't believe it." Although Ren Yingying is young, she is smart and immediately suppressed the shock in her heart.

"Alright, we are the evil heretics that the righteous sect wants to get rid of as soon as possible. It is right to practice martial arts diligently. Go down."

Without waiting for Ren Yingying to reply, Xi Mingzhang signaled the purple-robed waiter beside him to take her out.

After the two left, a strange light appeared in his eyes, and he said to himself:
"Ren Woxing, can three years of time allow you to create a method of integrating power? Can hatred, family affection and ambition allow you to make further progress?"

"In this world full of petty intrigues and strife for supremacy, is it possible to create a new martial arts heyday, like the Tianlong world, where supernatural skills emerge in an endless stream?"

He couldn't help laughing and shaking his head, muttering in a low voice:
"It sounds difficult, but why not give it a try?"

"Forcing him to die or to be exterminated, so that he will turn a deaf ear to the outside world and devote all his energy to studying martial arts, maybe there will be a little hope."

Time flies, and three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Major events occurred frequently during these three years. First, Dongfang Sheng, who had never been defeated since joining the Demon Sect and had earned a reputation for being undefeated, became the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect.

Afterwards, the leaders of the Songshan, Hengshan, Huashan, Kunlun and Taishan sects disappeared one after another without reason, and later the leaders of the Kongtong and Emei sects also followed in their footsteps.

Only a handful of leaders of major righteous sects in the world survived the disaster.

During this period, not only the wandering warriors, but all the major righteous sects pointed the finger at the Sun Moon Sect, especially the new leader Dongfang Bubai, who was the best master in the world both openly and secretly.

After all, ever since the succession ceremony, the legend that Dongfang Bubai had mastered his magical powers, was as powerful as nature, and could regain youth had spread throughout the martial arts world. In view of the great reputation he had built up over the past few decades, and the firm conviction shown by the people of the Sun and Moon Sect, it was inevitable that most people in the martial arts world were skeptical.

Therefore, if we talk about who can sneak attack the leaders of major sects without anyone noticing, who else could it be except this number one in the world?

Moreover, the Sun-Moon Sect is widely regarded as a demonic sect that acts without restraint, making it even more of a suspect.

Just when the famous sects in the martial arts world were pointing their spearheads at the Sun Moon Divine Sect, Heimu Cliff released news that Ren Woxing had suddenly disappeared without reason a year ago, which led to the news of a new leader taking over the throne.

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the martial arts world. No one expected that the first person to suffer would be Ren Woxing, who mastered the Star-Absorbing Magic.

No wonder the leader of the Sun Moon Sect was replaced so abruptly. It's no wonder that family disgrace should not be made public. As a demon sect hated by everyone, they have always been arrogant and domineering. The sudden disappearance of the leader has left the sect leaderless. If they are not careful, it will fall apart and be attacked by the righteous sects. So they have to keep it secret.

Although many people in the martial arts world thought this way, there were still many people who were suspicious and wondered if this was a case of the thief crying "stop thief". However, considering that the world's number one master was in charge of the Black Wood Cliff, no major sect was willing to be the first to take action.

As a result, a rare peace appeared in the martial arts world. Both good and evil were restrained and forbearing, and each of them was gathering information in the martial arts world.
