From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

With Xu Xing and Li Ruohai's pace, it wouldn't take too long to get from the Three Gorges to Emei Mountain. However, for various reasons, they didn't rush.

One of the reasons was to wait for the masters of the "Yingui Sect" who might attack because of Zhong Zhongyou's incident.

Although he had only known Gu Ningqing for a short time, Xu Xing still admired this young girl with a masculine and heroic spirit, so he wanted to help Gu Ningqing resolve the remaining issues within these seven days.

Of course, if this group of people really didn't come, Xu Xing was also prepared to destroy the "Yingui Sect" hideout first, and then slowly rush to Dongdao.

Anyway, there are still more than two months until the deadline of June 6, so there is still ample time.

In addition, Xu Xing was also waiting to pass the news back to lure Yan Jing'an out of seclusion.

For him, Mount Emei, the legendary place of practice for Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, is a very suitable place for discussing the Tao and preaching the Dharma. Of course, it can also be used as a battlefield.

The last reason is that during the process of being hunted by the "Yingui Sect", Gu Ningqing's true energy and physical strength were close to the limit and could not bear the high-intensity journey.

However, Li Ruohai's "Wedding Dress Power" was too strong and violent to be effective at this time, so Xu Xing had to take action and carefully cultivate it.

In fact, according to Xu Xing's own idea, the worst that could happen was that he could squeeze out another drop of essence and blood.

After he practiced the "Great Vajra Power", his physical strength and blood were improved. Although it is still some distance away from the legendary "Tang Monk's Flesh" that can make people immortal after eating it, it is no problem to say that eating a bite of it can prolong life and strengthen muscles and bones.

Gu Ningqing's cultivation level is still a long way from Li Ruohai's back then. With Xu Xing's current physical cultivation level, one drop of blood can completely solve all problems.

However, Gu Ningqing herself rejected this method and secretly told Xu Xing that she did not want to get better too quickly.

Xu Xing knew Gu Ningqing's thoughts clearly.

Although he didn't think Gu Ningqing could get what she wanted, there were only seven days after all, so it was understandable for her to help a little. He didn't say much, but strictly controlled the progress of the girl's recovery according to her request.

In fact, after spending some time with Gu Ningqing, Xu Xing gradually understood what this little girl was thinking.

Gu Ningqing actually knew very well that with Li Ruohai's decisive personality, once he made a decision, he would never change his mind even if it was seven or seventy years, let alone seven days.

But the girl still made the bet, simply because she wanted to spend more time with her lover.

As for whether this kind of relationship was good or bad for her, Gu Ningqing no longer had the energy to think about it.

Xu Xing naturally would not reveal this subtle and bitter girlish feeling.

However, during the journey, he tried his best to talk to Gu Ningqing about other things, teaching the girl that her heart does not have to revolve only in her body, but should be placed in a wider world.

Xu Xing even passed on to Gu Ningqing some of the essence of the "Book of Forgetfulness" that he had learned from Xiao Qiu Shui.

Of course Gu Ningqing knew the deep meaning of Xu Xing's action. He just wanted to prevent himself from being too sad when he really faced separation in seven days.

Moreover, Gu Ningqing also understood that the deeper reason was still with Li Ruohai, so the two people who understood each other tacitly became closer during the journey.

In fact, if you talk about it in detail, Gu Ningqing and Xu Xing have quite a few common topics, or even a lot.

First of all, in terms of martial arts, the "Dual Cultivation Method" originated from the Indian secret arts and has a strong Buddhist style. Xu Xing is also very proficient in this and can even give Gu Ningqing guidance based on some tantric methods.

Secondly, Gu Ningqing had been in the Shuangxiu Mansion for a long time and was quite curious about the scenery in the world.

But she traveled the world twice, once she was escorted home by Li Ruohai, and once she was hunted down by the Yingui Sect, so she had no chance to witness all this with her own eyes.

However, Xu Xing was an old man who had traveled all over the world, and to more than one place. Whenever Gu Ningqing was curious about the scenery of a certain place, he could always talk about it.

Although Li Ruohai has traveled to many places over the years in order to challenge the world's top masters, her mind is focused on studying martial arts and researching her opponents, and she has no time to pay attention to the scenery.

Therefore, Li Ruohai felt that sometimes, although he was standing next to the two of them, he was a complete outsider.

What's even more uncomfortable is that both Xu Xing and Gu Ningqing are extremely good at observing people's words and expressions.

Once they noticed that Li Ruohai became silent, they would invariably turn the topic to martial arts.

It was okay once or twice, but after doing it many times, Li Ruohai got used to this special "care".

Therefore, every time she saw the two people's spontaneous and tacit actions, she felt a tightness in her chest. Gu Ningqing also noticed this, but her eyes were subtle.

In fact, Li Ruohai has always been good at restraining his emotions, and he does it very well. He can even be said to be a person who keeps his true colors low.

After all, in the original novel, even though Feng Xinglie was adopted by "him" when he was still a baby and treated him like a real flesh and blood, it was not until the very last moment that he realized the incomparably deep and strong love his master had for him.

But now, this "she" is only seventeen years old after all, and she is a girl. She has also practiced the martial arts "Wedding Dress Magic". It is normal for her to be unable to control her emotions for a while.

Therefore, on the afternoon of the third day, Li Ruohai, who could no longer hold back, took the excuse of replenishing Gu Ningqing's body and took the initiative to leave the small group and went deep into the mountains and forests.

Looking at her angry back, Gu Ningqing narrowed her eyes, pursed her pale lips, and revealed a charming smile.

"Oh, Ruohai seems to be really angry this time. I have never seen this kind of expression on her."

Xu Xing was walking behind her, feeling a little speechless. He shook his head and said in a somewhat blaming tone:
"She's just a little girl too. It's natural for her to get angry if you keep teasing her like this. It's better to say that the fact that she's been able to endure it until now is a testament to her deep cultivation of qi."

Gu Ningqing didn't care at all. She just looked at Li Ruohai's departing figure with a deep gaze and her tone became a little unpredictable.

“In fact, in my opinion, the so-called deep Qi cultivation skills of monks and Taoists only represent that, for them, there are fewer and fewer things worth caring about in this world.

If you tell them about ascending to heaven in broad daylight or achieving nirvana, how many of them can keep their minds calm?

Just like when I met that big monk before, and encountered your 'Great Vajra Power', wasn't it shocking? "

Xu Xing raised his eyebrows and said bluntly:

"Ning Qing, are you trying to say that you are someone worth her attention?"

Gu Ningqing turned around and raised her eyebrows.

“Of course I still have this confidence, but there is a difference between caring and not caring.

At least, in my opinion, Ruohai cares more about you than about me, his sister."

Xu Xing said very naturally:

"Miss Li is a loyal person, so she will not put love before friendship."

"You value women over friends?"

When Gu Ningqing heard these four words, she felt it was extremely absurd. She looked at Xu Xing carefully from head to toe, then she looked up to the sky and sighed,

"I originally thought that you and Ruohai were completely different people. Now it seems that the two of you can get together, it's really..."

Gu Ningqing held it in for a long time before she uttered two words.

"It's fate."

Xu Xing just smiled slightly:
"All things are impermanent. Everything in the world is born out of fate. Isn't it fate that brought us together?"

Hearing this, Gu Ningqing nodded in agreement:

"My little brother, what you said is quite good."

As she spoke, Gu Ningqing walked over very naturally and sat next to Xu Xing.

She hugged her knees with her hands, her delicate and charming face resting on her knees. Her cheeks were squeezed like little buns stuck in a steamer, chubby and pink, but her brows seemed filled with sorrow, unable to relax.

At this moment, Gu Ningqing had completely lost her usual boldness and competence. She became surprisingly weak, almost like a ghost, as if she was about to blend into the blood-red glow and set completely after the setting sun.

When Xu Xing saw this scene, he suddenly remembered the appearance of this "Dual Cultivation Princess" when he first saw her underwater. She was like this at that time, even her soul was so weak, but fortunately there was still a little brightness.

Thinking of this, Xu Xing sighed, stood up, patted her slender shoulders maturely, and sighed:
"In life, there will always be regrets."

Gu Ningqing was wearing a well-tailored suit that highlighted her slender and delicate upper body. Her white neck was revealed through the slightly opened neckline. Although her figure was petite, it was very well-proportioned and she exuded youthful vitality.

She turned her head slightly, and looked at Xu Xing through a few strands of hair. Although it was a little reluctant, she still forced out her usual smile and said faintly:

"I thought you would advise me."

Xu Xing spread out his hands and said frankly:
"If I could have persuaded you, I would have done it long ago. Since you are determined to give it a try and are determined to pay the price, what else can I say?"

Gu Ningqing turned her slender neck and rested her forehead against her knees, not letting Xu Xing see her expression, and just hummed muffledly.

In fact, ever since Zhong Zhongyou's evil spirit invaded her body, Gu Ningqing's spirit has not been very good. And these days, she has been forcing herself to smile in front of Li Ruohai, which has really cost her a lot of effort.

Now that her lover has temporarily left, she can finally take off her disguise and show her true side.

Xu Xing sighed again:
"Now, can you tell clearly whether this sudden love is due to 'Dual Cultivation Dafa' or comes from the depths of your heart?"

The girl still buried her head in her knees, shook her head gently, and whispered:

"Ning Qing is also looking for this question."

After a while, she continued:
"Little brother, you should go check on Ruohai. She went out alone, and I'm worried something might happen to her."

Xu Xing stood up, looked around, and said casually:

"Three miles to the east, she is catching a wild boar with bare hands and without using any Qi. It is her destiny to meet this wild boar. We are really lucky tonight.

Alas, I hope she won't go too far. I don't ask for an intact body, but at least she won't turn the body into a bloody mess."

Upon hearing Xu Xing's concise description, Gu Ningqing immediately imagined Li Ruohai rolling up his sleeves and venting his anger on the wild boar.

The girl couldn't help but burst out laughing, and her mood became much better.

She stretched, showing off her beautiful body curves, and looked at Xu Xing who had not moved. Suddenly, an indescribable warmth emerged in her heart.

The girl squinted her eyes like a kitten being stroked, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, her expression showing a slightly shy charm, her expression full of joy, she said with ill intentions:
"Little brother, if Ruo Hai really rejects me, are you willing to study the secrets of the Dual Cultivation Method with me?"

Faced with this outrageous and bold suggestion, Xu Xing rolled his eyes, raised a finger, and said seriously:
"First, don't use words like 'seriously'. You're bound to be rejected."

Gu Ningqing was struck by lightning, her face was stiff, and after a long while, she trembled and held her heart like Xi Shi, and said with deep sorrow:

"Little brother, are you hurting me too much by saying this?"

Seeing that Gu Ningqing was still in a laughing mood, Xu Xing knew that she had recovered. He ignored the girl and raised his second finger, speaking with certainty.

"Second, I'm still young. If you force yourself on me, I'll report you to the police."

Hearing the words "report to the police", Gu Ningqing became even more excited, her acting urge exploded, her eyebrows furrowed, her hands on her hips, she imitated Zhong Zhongyou, her eyes lit up with an evil light, and she laughed strangely:
"The more you say this, the more I feel."

Xu Xing commented calmly:

"You are a typical example of a person whose mind has been twisted by repression. When you get to the city, find a doctor to have a good look and some Chinese medicine. Maybe he can even cure your sexual orientation problem."

When the girl heard this, she was unhappy at the time. She crossed her arms, tilted her neck and face, snorted, and said confidently:

"I'm not sick!"

Xu Xing shook his head and sighed:
"Ah, hysteria."

Before he could finish his words, Gu Ningqing had already rushed over and said viciously, "How dare you!"

These days, Gu Ningqing didn't know whether it was because of her overflowing maternal instinct or some other reason, but she expressed great interest in Xu Xing's current appearance.

At the beginning, the two were not very familiar with each other. Gu Ningqing had an inexplicable hostility towards Xu Xing, but was also quite in awe of his miraculous martial arts, so she didn't dare to make any moves.

As the two talked more and became more familiar with each other, the girl would come up to Xu Xing and pinch his little round face, which was still not fully grown and full of childishness.

Later on, just kneading could no longer satisfy Gu Ningqing, so she began to try to pull this face, which was as delicate as jade and extremely flexible, into various shapes with her hands.

Xu Xing didn't care much about his appearance, and considering the man's unstable mental state, he didn't bother to care.

However, every time Li Ruohai saw them, he would find all kinds of reasons to separate the two people who were sticking together, and then walk away angrily.

After satisfying her urge to masturbate for a while, Gu Ningqing was finally satisfied.

She lowered her head and looked at Xu Xing, who looked calm and unmoved. Suddenly, she sighed with a complicated expression and said with deep emotion:

"Little brother, I really don't know if there is anyone in this world who can truly move you."

Through the unique perception of "Dual Cultivation Method", Gu Ningqing was able to sense that Xu Xing treated both herself and Li Ruohai with an inclusive and generous attitude, as if he was treating a younger generation.

Even if he occasionally joked, it was limited to the scope of playing and would never cross that line. Gu Ningqing even suspected that he had reached the legendary realm of Tao that transcended human love.

Xu Xing just smiled and didn't answer.

In fact, he was also very curious about this, but Xu Xing would not force himself to get a result within a fixed period of time like Gu Ningqing.

After all, the road is long. As long as he keeps going, he will find the answer one day. Why rush?
Just as the two of them finished playing and were tidying up their messy clothes, Li Ruohai slowly came from the other end, holding a thick pig leg and dragging a bloody wild boar that was no longer recognizable as a pig.

Since this world is rich in vitality, these wild animals have grown in large numbers. Xu Xing only took a look and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:
"It's a waste, a waste, it's really a waste."

In the world of the Ming Dynasty, there is a saying that goes "three parts eating and seven parts refining."

As the number one person in the art of physical training and martial arts for thousands of years, Xu Xing naturally had extraordinary attainments in eating. Seeing Li Ruohai treat food in this way, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Gu Ningqing didn't care about that and walked over with a smile, helping Li Ruohai to prepare the ingredients.

After a period of solitude and venting, Li Ruohai's emotions stabilized and returned to his usual calm state.

It has to be said that the "Wedding Dress Qi" is indeed very effective when used for barbecue. At least Xu Xing was extremely satisfied with this meal.

After finishing these chores, Li Ruohai asked Xu Xing for the remaining black fire essence of the "Red Sun Dharma King" and began his daily practice.

Xu Xing was sitting cross-legged not far away, closing his eyes and concentrating, occasionally giving instructions to Li Ruohai on his practice.

When it comes to martial arts, Xu Xing and Li Ruohai become extremely serious, without any playfulness at all.

In addition, Xu Xing focused most of his energy on analyzing the battle with Zhong Zhongyou.

In fact, Xu Xing was not looking at the "evil Buddha" himself, but through him, he saw the "magic master" who was sharp and unstoppable when he first appeared in the world.

As the saying goes, "The Buddha looks at a bucket of water and sees 48,000 insects." Although Xu Xing has not really reached this level, he is not far away.

Therefore, even though the observation process was interrupted and it was difficult to get a full picture, he still gained a lot from it.

Not far away, although Gu Ningqing was also practicing his skills silently, his mind still unconsciously dissipated and focused on Li Ruohai and Xu Xing.

Looking at the two people who were concentrating on martial arts and seemed to be in perfect harmony, Gu Ningqing's eyes showed obvious envy. The girl held her face in her hands and sighed with some distress.

No matter how they felt, the journey had to continue. At noon on the fourth day, they finally reached their destination. Not far away, Mount Emei was already in sight. Also arriving here were Yan Jing'an and Liao Jin, as well as Liao Wu, who had heard the news and set out from Jingnian Zen Sect without any hesitation.

Although Xu Xing and his companions mostly chose to travel through desolate mountains and wilderness along the way, they did not deliberately conceal their figures, and the three of them often chose to go into towns for supplies along the way.

With the intelligence networks of the two major martial arts holy places, Jingnian Zen Sect and Cihang Jingzhai, it is naturally not difficult to search for their whereabouts.

Yan Jing'an also determined that the three people's destination was Mount Emei, so he came here first to wait and contacted the people from the Emei Sect.

The Emei Sect is also one of the Eighteen Famous Sects in the World, and is known as the twin pillars of martial arts in Shu together with the Qingcheng Sect. The previous leader of the sect, Taoist Nun Qinglian, was also one of the most renowned masters in the righteous martial arts world.

However, seeing Yan Jing'an, Liao Jin and Liao Wu coming here together, the Taoist nun Qinglian, who had been living in seclusion for a long time, also had to treat them with respect and personally came out to greet these three distinguished guests.

"What you three mean is that the 'magic master' might come in person to kill the King Kong descendant?"

When the word "magician" was mentioned, Taoist Nun Qinglian's pupils contracted, and sharp sword energy overflowed from every inch of her skin. Her wide Taoist robe also fluttered with an astonishing momentum.

For a master of the Void Realm who has her own realm, the fact that she is unable to control herself can only mean that she is terrified and shocked to the extreme.

The four elders of Emei Sect and the current sect leader who came to greet them, starting from Taoist Nun Qinglian, were even more unbearable. All they could hear were five clanging sounds of metal, which sounded continuously and merged into one.

The spontaneously generated energy reached a state of perfection at this moment. The entire spacious Emei Sect hall was filled and enveloped by true energy, so that it could not accommodate any other existence.

There was no enemy at all, but just a name, which almost forced a master of the Void Realm and five masters of the Refining Realm to draw their swords.

After three or five breaths, the Emei Sect and the others calmed down. Taoist Nun Qinglian smiled bitterly, raised the whisk in her hand, dispersed the sword energy around her body, and apologized:

"Master Yan Zhai, Master Liao Jin Chan, and Monk Liao Wu Sheng, I'm sorry, it was us who lost our temper."

Yan Jing'an and the other two did not express any dissatisfaction, but just looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Le Jin sighed:

"After all, it was the magician Pang Ban who came."

Hearing these words, everyone in the hall nodded solemnly.

In the decades since the change in the sky, the two words Pang Ban have become the representative of the Demon Sect. If we talk about reputation and notoriety in the martial arts world, even Meng Chixing, the former leader of the Demon Sect, may not be able to match him.

If it weren't for the old Taoist priest still sitting on Mount Wudang, the righteous people would have no idea who would be able to subdue this unparalleled demon with overwhelming power in the next few decades.

In fact, just as Xu Xing had thought before, many righteous masters were also quite indignant about Zhang Sanfeng's actions of suppressing the void and restraining the strange phenomena of heaven and earth.

But in recent years, because the evil path was so powerful, two new generation masters emerged one after another who had the potential to break it, while the righteous path was in a period of lack of successors. These masters who came from the righteous path were grateful to this old Taoist priest instead.

After all, if it weren't for this person, who knows how unscrupulous people like Pang Ban would be.

Yan Jing'an was keenly aware that although Qinglian Taoist Nun was horrified when she heard that Pang Ban was going to come to Mount Emei in person, she was not surprised at all, and could not help but ask:
"Senior, it seems that you have already anticipated the matter of the magician?"

Taoist nun Qinglian smiled bitterly and mentioned a piece of news she had just received.

"A few days ago, a battle between masters broke out in Jinling City. The battle ended very quickly. By the time everyone in the city came to their senses, the winner had already been decided. The deceased seemed to be Fu Yaohong from the 'Yin Gui Sect'.

We all speculated that the murderer was the 'magic master' who had mastered the 'Dao Xin Zhong Mo Da Fa'. He deliberately approached the 'Yin Gui Sect' to fully implement the title of 'Common Leader of the Demon Sect'. "

Luo Wu, who had been silent and taciturn since entering the Emei Sect, suddenly said:

"Fu Yaohong is also an old master who has been immersed in the second level of the Void Realm for many years. His cultivation is even higher than that of the 'Evil Buddha'. Even if Pang Ban attacks, he should be able to hold out for a while, unless..."

Having said that, Liaowu sighed deeply.

Liaowu's martial arts skills are even better than Liaojin's, but he did not take up the position of Zen master because he did not want to get involved in worldly affairs and disrupt his practice. Even Yan Jing'an agreed with his senior brother's judgment and nodded in agreement.

In order to deal with the Demon Master Palace, this host had done a lot of homework on Pang Ban. After thinking for a moment, he said in a deep voice:
“In fact, the reason why Pang Ban let Zhong Zhongyou escape before was not only because this ‘evil Buddha’ was indeed good at escaping, but also because he was still concerned about ‘Blood Hand’ Li Gong, the great master of the Demon Sect who had been in seclusion for a long time.

But now, Pang Ban mercilessly killed Fu Yaohong. Given his personality, I'm afraid he wanted to use this method to force Li Gong, who was nowhere to be found, out to fight him. "

Although Taoist Nun Qinglian had some guesses in her mind, she still felt her heart tighten unconsciously after hearing what Wu and Yan Jing'an said, and she said in a trembling voice:

"Master Yan, do you mean that this magician has really... taken the last step?!"

Yan Jing'an did not give a definite answer, but just smiled bitterly:
"Since he has the confidence to challenge Li Gong, even if he has not succeeded, I am afraid he is only one step away from success. Perhaps, he is doing this in order to use Li Gong as a whetstone to overcome that hurdle completely."

Upon hearing this judgment, all the masters in the hall fell silent and frightened, even Lao Jin and Lao Wu were no exception.

Yan Jing'an had already guessed it in his mind, and he was not too moved. He still analyzed calmly:

"Pang Ban learned his skills from Meng Chixing, and his spiritual power is unfathomable. Since he has been to the 'Yin Gui Sect', I am afraid he will soon get information about Zhong Zhongyou.

I'm afraid we don't have time to wait any longer, so we might as well spread out and try our best to find the whereabouts of Grandmaster Xu and escort him to Wudang Mountain first."

In fact, after Yan Jing'an and others learned of Xu Xing's whereabouts, they deliberately waited in Mount Emei. They also had an idea, which was to join forces with this powerful descendant of Vajra and kill Pang Ban right in Mount Emei.

Judging from Xu Xingli's record of beheading the Red Sun Dharma King and seriously injuring Si Hanfei, in the eyes of Yan Jing'an and others, his strength is at least as good as the magic master before his retreat, and may even be better.

Even if this Vajra successor was injured in this battle, with the help of their three old masters of the second level of the Void Realm, there is definitely a chance to keep Pang Ban completely.

But now, knowing that Pang Ban had made another breakthrough in martial arts, Yan Jing'an no longer holds this hope and only wants to preserve Xu Xing, this rare and peerless master, for the righteous path.

Because she knew very well how terrifying a master who was on the verge of the Half-Step Breaking Realm was. It would be impossible to resist with just the three of them and an injured Vajra successor.

Liao Jin and Liao Wu both nodded at the same time. Taoist Nun Qing Lian had experienced the period when Meng Chi Xing was wreaking havoc in the martial arts world, so she had some idea of ​​what masters of this level were like. She made a prompt decision and said:
"I will immediately dismiss my disciples and order them to go to Wudang to look for Master Zhang."

But at this moment, a magnetic voice full of masculine charm came from afar. The voice was not loud, but it seemed to ring in everyone's ears, extremely clear.

I only heard that person laugh loudly and say:

"Good idea. If you had left just now, maybe you would still have made it in time."

Before he finished speaking, a tall man wearing expensive clothes, a jade belt around his waist, and a cape flying like a flag behind him appeared at the door of the palace.

He put his hands behind his back, looked around with disdain, and a faint, seemingly casual smile hung on the corner of his lips.

The man shook his head and sighed:
"Unfortunately, it's too late now."

The visitor was naturally the magician Pang Ban, who had unrivaled magic power and dominated the world.

In terms of intelligence network, the Demon Sect, which has been passed down for many years, is not inferior to the Tianxia Society. What's more, Pang Ban has the help of Shen Wansan, the lord of West City.

As the saying goes, money can make you connected with the gods. In the past, when Shen Wansan hid his real name and built the "No. 1 Manor in the World" in the Central Plains, countless businessmen in the world worshipped him as the God of Wealth.

It is conceivable that this God of Wealth Shen has a huge source of intelligence in his hands. Therefore, after Pang Ban left Jinling, he learned about the movements of Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Sect.

He had learned from Zhong Zhongyou's memory that the person who blocked his way was the bald monk from the Jingnian Zen Sect, and thus concluded that Yan Jing'an and others also came for the "Wheel-Turning Holy King".

That’s why Pang Ban was able to follow him all the way.

As he spoke, the magician slowly glanced around the hall. When he saw the extremely beautiful Yan Jing'an, his eyes lit up with a terrifying brilliance and his tone softened.

"Jing'an, we finally have the chance to meet today."

When Pang Ban said this, the domineering aura that could not be disobeyed immediately disappeared from his body, and he became infinitely gentle.

When Yan Jing'an met his eyes as deep as the ocean, he felt his soul tremble, and an indescribable feeling of familiarity rose in his heart.

Yan Jing'an's slender body, wrapped in a snow-white robe, looked even more charming, with her beautiful hair gently caressing her.

For some reason, Yan Jing'an was always worried whenever he thought of Pang Ban, fearing that he could not stop him from wreaking havoc on the world.

But after they actually met, the master of Jingzhai, who was shouldering a heavy responsibility, became calmer than ever before.

Facing Pang Ban's gentle gaze, Yan Jing'an smiled slightly and said calmly:
"Master, do you have any other request for such courtesy to Jing'an?"

Pang Ban was startled and laughed:
"If I were to talk about matters between men and women with such a beautiful and extraordinary woman like Jing'an, would it seem disrespectful to me?"

Liao Jin and Liao Wu both frowned when they heard this. They had not expected that this magician could be so frivolous and speak without restraint.

Yan Jing'an didn't take it seriously, and still smiled faintly:
"The magician is a man, Jing'an is a woman, what is the matter between you and me that has nothing to do with men and women?"

Pang Ban laughed dumbly and said frankly:

"When I saw Jing'an, I felt an impulse in my heart. When one's cultivation reaches my level, a thought will inevitably lead to failure, and even I cannot control it.

Please Jing'an, accompany me to the Magician's Palace to end this relationship."

Hearing this, Le Jin's face stiffened and his pupils contracted.

For warriors in this world, if they want to fully utilize the evil energy of heaven and earth for their own benefit, the most important thing is the word "determination". This is why there will be a state of determination after the realm of refining.

Only by settling the thoughts first, can you settle the true Qi, and finally make the true Qi change in a thousand ways and reach the ultimate state.

The "no-thought Zen" of the Jingnian Zen Sect is an extension of this path. It is not only about settling the thoughts, but also about completely getting rid of distracting thoughts.

But Pang Ban did the exact opposite. He let every thought of his go its own way without any interference.

If a person cannot even control his own thoughts, then is he a beast or a madman?

But in matters between men and women, the harmony of yin and yang, isn’t this exactly the nature of human beings?

Pang Ban ignored the others and stared at Yan Jing'an, saying softly:

"I think this is the emotional barrier that Pang has to overcome in this life. If I want to overcome this barrier and completely enter the path of heaven and man, I still need the help of Jing'an."

The moment Pang Ban saw Yan Jing'an, a feeling of love surged into his heart like a river tide, without any reason or warning, but it suddenly filled his world.

It was not until this moment that Pang Ban suddenly realized that Yan Jing'an was the most perfect and most suitable furnace he was looking for.

Yan Jing'an's delicate body trembled, but she still said calmly:

"The magic master has clearly achieved the great Dharma through the right path, so why would he take this narrow path and humiliate his status for nothing?"

From the first moment Yan Jing'an saw Pang Ban, she knew that this peerless demon king had already done just as she had imagined. He had used orthodox cultivation methods to master the "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Method" and was only half a step away from the third level of the Void Realm.

Pang Ban was cheered up and laughed:
"Jing'an, you have indeed reached the state of clear swordsmanship, but..."

At this point, Pang Ban's eyes turned cold and he said calmly:
"Pang's martial arts skills are beyond your comprehension. Moreover, Pang only knows how to follow his own path and has never known the right path or the wrong path."

Although there was no true energy infused into Pang Ban's voice, nor did he use his vast spiritual power, it still made everyone in the hall feel a great sense of oppression.

Yan Jing'an was the most concerned among them. She clearly saw a glimpse of a cold and almost ruthless light in Pang Ban's deep demonic eyes, and her heart trembled slightly.

Fortunately, Pang Ban quickly recovered his elegant and modest appearance and said in a gentle voice:

"If Jing'an comes with me, I can ignore all the people here and Xu Tafa. Is this a good deal?"

Pang Ban's words were completely sincere.

Although he comprehended the orthodox method of cultivating the "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Method" from the evil emperor's relics, his achievements were not enough after all.

If he could get a superior furnace to assist in his practice, it would not take long for Pang Ban to break through the barrier and officially step into the third heaven.

The powerful Yan Jing'an is undoubtedly a better choice than the young Li Ruohai.

What's more, Pang Ban now has the cultivation of the "Dao Heart Planting Demon Method". As soon as he saw Yan Jing'an, he could feel an inexplicable attraction from her. He immediately remembered a rumor that was widely circulated in the Demon Sect.

It is said that the first evil emperor of the Demon Sect had a love affair with Dini, the founder of Cihang Jingzhai. The predecessor of "Cihang Sword Canon", "The Other Shore Sword Art", also referred to the Demon Sect's supreme magic skill "Heavenly Demon Strategy".

Therefore, although the "demon seed" cultivated by the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Method" and the immortal fetus cultivated by the "Cihang Sword Canon" are at opposite ends of the spectrum, they have the same source. Moreover, although the "demon seed" and the "immortal fetus" are irreconcilable, they are also the most perfect match made in heaven.

However, in the past few hundred years, no one in the Demon Sect has mastered the "Great Method of Planting Demons in the Heart of Tao" and condensed the demon seeds. There are also very few people in Cihang Jingzhai who have cultivated the "Immortal Fetus". Naturally, there is no way to verify the truth of this rumor.

It was not until Pang Ban was born and obtained the "Evil Emperor's Relics" by chance, and realized the secret of the "Dao Heart Planting Demons Method", and after meeting Yan Jing'an, he was finally sure that this rumor was not false, but the most proven fact.

Pang Ban was originally a pure seeker who was devoted to the way of heaven and man and determined to break the void. He destroyed the Yingui Sect and looked for Xu Xing in order to prove his own way.

Now that there is a more feasible path ahead, Pang Ban can naturally abandon everything else.

When Liaojin and Liaowu heard these words, they both took a step forward, ready to fight to the death. However, Yan Jing'an turned his back to the two monks, shook his head slightly, and said sadly:
"Is what the magician said true?"

Ever since the first time he saw Pang Ban, Yan Jing'an knew that today's incident would not end well. With their strength, it would be impossible for them to escape from the Demon Lord.

If only she could be sacrificed, Liaowu, Liaojin, and the brilliant successor of Vajra could be saved. As the master of Cihang Jingzhai, Yan Jing'an would naturally take the lead.

Pang Ban laughed loudly and said proudly:

"Pang always keeps his word."

Seeing Yan Jing'an showing such a charming expression, Pang Ban's eyes also flashed with pity, and he sighed with his hands behind his back:
“I know that Jing’an wants to take this opportunity to hinder Pang and buy time for the others, but doesn’t Pang want to wait for them to grow up?

Before meeting you, I thought that Xu Tafa was a good opponent of mine.

But after seeing him today, I have gained something new. If he wants to challenge me, I am afraid it will take some time.

If he is not capable, Li Ruohai in thirty years will also be a good candidate to challenge Pang."

Pang Ban had a broad mind and advised heroes, showing an unparalleled heart.

In his eyes, Xu Xing and Li Ruohai were not qualified to be his enemies at this time. Only if they made further progress would they have the opportunity to challenge him.

Yan Jing'an was surprised at how much Pang Ban valued Li Ruohai, and his lonely heart seemed to be filled with new vitality and hope, as if a spring had gushed out.

Her eyes fixed and just as she was about to speak, she saw an unprecedented look of surprise appear on Pang Ban's cold and majestic face.

At this moment, a deep, powerful and unrivaled long howl was heard from the distant sky. The sound was rolling and resounding, like hundreds of thunders exploding at the same time, shaking the mountains and causing hundreds of birds to fly away, showing an incomparable heroic spirit that no one could match.

"What a shameless old dog you are! At your age of sixty, you bully a young girl who is not even twenty years old. How dare you say that!"

When Yan Jing'an and others heard this voice, they felt a burning determination running through them, their hearts were excited and their blood was boiling. For a moment, even their fear of Pang Ban was forcibly suppressed.

Pang Ban turned around and looked down from the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, only to see a little kid of eight or nine years old walking up the stairs with his hands behind his back among the dense woods.

This little kid has clear features and a flawless face. He is wearing a luxurious green dress embroidered with silver. Although he is short, he is very well-proportioned. Every move he makes shows an indescribable majestic aura.

Xu Xing also noticed Pang Ban's gaze and raised his head. An obvious look of contempt appeared on his childish little round face.

He extended his right hand from his sleeve and gave Pangbamba the finger.

"Old man, if you have the guts, let's have a fight?" (End of this chapter)
