Chapter 82

~16 min read 3,141 words

On the side of the bustling Western Depot, there stands an extraordinary restaurant, which is the only building around the Western Depot that can echo it from afar.

Penglai Building!

Taken from "Penglai Palace towers face the southern mountain, dew-bearing golden stems between the sky and the Han."

The two characters Penglai in it have a magnificent momentum.

One of the most noble restaurants in the capital!

Coming and going are noble people, and the purple robes and jade belts entering and leaving the court are rich.

Looking down from the high place of the restaurant, one can see the whole capital.

The nearby Western Depot is also in full view, which makes everything seem to be under its control.

The Western Depot has long been impatient with this!

It does not allow such a high building to be equal to the Western Depot.

Regarded as "great disrespect"!

The Western Depot has sent people to "unfounded" investigate several times, but each time they returned without success.

Just because the power relied on behind the restaurant is also not trivial, and the "Nine-Thousand-Year-Old" Chen Chen Sanzhong behind it even personally ordered not to interfere with the restaurant's business.

In the end, it had to be left to continue to prosper.

Gradually!

The restaurant's reputation became louder and louder, becoming a must-visit place in the capital.

Among the common people, there is a good story: "If you go to the capital and don't go to Penglai, it's like not going to the capital."

The twelfth floor, the highest point of Penglai Building!

The restaurant is designed like a tower tip, the space on the highest floor is only two zhang, those who can book a seat here are all top-level nobles in the capital.

The cost of a meal between seats.

For the poor common people, it is probably a lifetime's work.

At this time, three people on the highest floor are looking down!

Two of them are there.

If the Seal-Holder Eunuch Ma Bao of the Western Depot saw it, he would probably be terrified.

The two are the nightmares that he cannot get rid of in his heart.

Demon Master Huang Dao.

And Xie Mu encountered on Mount Zhongnan.

Huang Dao still maintains the appearance of a middle-aged scholar, revealing a steady temperament in his gestures.

His temples are gray, and the traces of time have added a bit of depth and charm to him, making him look more like a Great Grandmaster.

And Xie Mu!

Has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The former emptiness and the body hollowed out by wine and sex can no longer be found on him.

Now he!

His height has increased by a head, his body is strong, his eyes are shining, and his temples are slightly sunken, obviously his internal martial arts have reached a very high realm.

Behind Huang Dao and Xie Mu, a mysterious woman stood quietly.

Dressed in a purple gauze dress, she is graceful.

The charm in those beautiful eyes seems to be able to hook people's souls.

The woman stood beside Huang Dao, her behavior was orderly, and she did not dare to be disrespectful in the slightest.

Xie Mu wore a black robe with a hood, which pressed down on half of his face.

Huang Dao saw Xie Mu like this and smiled:

"With me by your side, what are you afraid of?"

Xie Mu couldn't help but sigh and said:

"I'm not afraid usually, but in today's capital, we have met several Great Grandmasters, how can I not be afraid?"

"It makes Great Grandmasters seem worthless."

Xie Mu has started to practice, and already knows the terror of Great Grandmasters.

Can be compared to monsters!

In the Great Qing country, there are only four Great Grandmaster-level powerhouses.

However, today, good fellow!

These four Great Grandmasters gathered in the Western Depot of the capital, this situation is really too rare.

The four Great Grandmasters came here for only one reason.

Came to kill Lu Chen!

Xie Mu sighed, he always thought in his heart that Lu Lu Shaobao was a good person.

But the world is like this!

"Good people don't live long, disasters last for a thousand years."

Huang Dao smiled lightly, with one hand behind his back, looking down at the bustling crowd near the Western Depot from the highest floor.

A confident smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said faintly:

"The three of them join forces, and I can also deal with it freely."

The beautiful woman in purple gauze beside him heard this and immediately echoed:

"The Demon Master's cultivation has transcended the mortal world, and no one in the world can compete with him."

Her voice was crisp and pleasant, sincere and moving.

Huang Dao heard this, and there was a rare smile on his face.

Xie Mu couldn't help but say to Huang Dao:

"You, go and finish off Lu Yu."

Huang Dao heard this and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The scene fell into silence.

Huang Dao took a deep breath, and that scene on Mount Zhongnan was still vivid in his mind.

That punch!

Like the rising sun, breaking the dawn of heaven and earth, now looking back with his cultivation, he still feels a trace of lingering fear.

Over the years, he returned from slaying dragons on Mount Zhongnan, his cultivation has been improved unprecedentedly, and he has obtained the "luck" of the Great Qing.

Now!

He is in the capital of the Great Qing, and his cultivation speed is becoming more and more terrifying, as if all the heaven and earth spiritual energy in the capital is gathering towards him.

The "Dao Heart Planting Demon" he practices is an extremely mysterious method, different from other practices, starting from the human body.

But!

Opening up an unprecedented path, starting from human emotions, using extreme emotions to comprehend the way of heaven and earth.

This technique is extreme in emotion, extreme in Dao, extreme in truth, and the difficulty of practice is extremely high.

It is the "ascension" method explored by the founder of the demonic path in the era of the end of the law.

Without spiritual energy, a Great Grandmaster is the top of the world.

Going up, there is no way!

The opening of "Dao Heart Planting Demon" has already stated:

"Of the seven emotions and six desires of man, only the infatuation of men and women is the most, and it feels the harmony and moisture of luck, talks about ghosts and gods, and has success in its grace, so the world serves one body."

This means that the practitioner needs to plant a demon in the innocent heart of a woman, entrust all his thoughts to one person, let her thoughts become his own thoughts, if she wants him to die, he is willing to die!

However, transcending the shackles of emotion is the real key.

The practitioner needs to transcend this emotional bond, use extreme emotions to comprehend the way of heaven and earth, and pursue the realm of true self.

This requires the practitioner to have extremely high wisdom and firm perseverance, because if one is not careful, one may fall into an irreversible situation.

Losing oneself!

Dedicating one's life without reservation, and then "taking by force," finally transcending through killing in endless "love and protection."

Bringing human emotions to the extreme!

Huang Dao planned everything, used Southern Gu insects to make himself forget all memories, and found a pair of the most precious love Gu in the world.

Designed in advance, he met the woman he was most satisfied with.

The two fell in love, lived together, and were deeply affectionate.

When Huang Dao witnessed the woman "arranging an affair" with someone else, the anger and pain in his heart erupted like a volcanic eruption.

In his anger, he "accidentally" killed the woman.

However, this did not make him feel relieved, but fell into endless remorse.

His love for that woman was too deep, and he didn't walk out for twenty years.

In these twenty years!

He foolishly immersed himself in the longing and pain for her, unable to extricate himself.

Until Xie Mu appeared and awakened Huang Dao, he realized it.

"Untie the old shackles of the past, only today do I know who I am."

Afterwards, there was another spiritual energy recovery, and he truly realized the great progress of his cultivation.

Huang Dao smiled complacently.

He walked out of a path that several generations of demonic ancestors had never walked out of, and encountered this spiritual energy recovery.

"What a great rain of heaven."

Huang Dao recalled the records in the Demon Strategy of the Demon Sect:

"Spiritual energy returns, the world begins to be chaotic!"

Hundreds of years ago, when spiritual energy returned briefly for the first time, it triggered the "Warring States."

At that time!

The world was entangled like chaotic hemp, the war between countries was continuous, and living beings were like grass.

The root of all this, Huang Dao knows well, is the struggle of orthodoxy.

Various forces, in order to compete for their own orthodoxy, successively tried to use one school of thought to prepare for a country, and then control the world.

And behind this, it is actually the struggle for luck.

Mentioning Zhu Yan Zhu Zhu Fuzi of the Great Qing back then, he was also a martial arts Great Grandmaster.

He assisted Emperor Jing, helped the Great Qing expand south, and established the prosperity of Jiangnan.

Therefore!

Zhu Yan specialized in military and state affairs, decided the universe, wore a sword to court, and all officials knelt to welcome him.

"Child looks at the Son of Heaven!"

Zhu Yan was conferred as the Great Xingtai, Duke of Anding, and granted the positions of Great General and Prime Minister, condensing almost all the national luck of the Great Qing into one body.

Under his influence, Emperor Jing was actually just a puppet.

Zhu Zhu Fuzi relied on this, gathered the luck of the Great Qing country into one body, and reached the realm above the martial arts innate.

It is called — "Heavenly Human"!

Huang Dao knows that in that era, there was not only one powerhouse who reached the Heavenly Human realm like Zhu Zhu Fuzi.

There were nine other powerhouses with the same cultivation, either monarchs of a country or heavy ministers who held power in the court.

These nine people, each occupying one side, were the nine most powerful countries in the "Warring States Period."

Nine countries in chaos!

Deciding the true unification of the world.

The secret behind it is to use the power of the world to contribute to one person's "shattering the void"!

But!

At this time, spiritual energy disappeared inexplicably.

Heavenly Human, Innate two realms are gone!

There are only "Great Grandmasters" in the world!

That Zhu Yan Zhu Zhu Fuzi was finally discovered by Emperor Jing of the Great Qing, who seized the opportunity to surround and kill him with three thousand iron cavalry.

Zhu Yan's ten clans were exterminated, and Emperor Jing even made Zhu Yan's head into a night pot and placed it under the bed.

Zhu Yan's death!

Brought huge shock to the Great Qing at that time, causing an uproar among the people, and various legends and speculations emerged one after another.

The folk song says "The flying birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, the running dog is cooked."

However!

Not many people really know the inside story.

These inside stories are only passed down among emperors, becoming a tacit secret.

Nowadays, Emperor Hui of the Great Qing was captured in Northern Wind, and the Great Qing imperial clan is probably also unaware of the details of this history.

Huang Dao came back to his senses!

His cultivation is now "Innate Perfection"!

Just one step away!

Can enter the "Heavenly Human" realm.

Huang Dao showed a smile.

"Heavenly time, geographical advantage, and human harmony, I didn't expect that I would occupy them all!"

Xie Mu didn't care either, grabbed a piece of roast duck on the dining table, and ate it by himself without any image.

The beautiful woman in purple gauze on the side was very surprised that this young master named Xie Mu was so "domineering" and mocked the Demon Master.

It seems that the Demon Master still had an "it should be so" attitude!

It really surprised her!

Women are extremely nervous when facing the Demon Master, and dare not be disrespectful in the slightest.

She is the saint of the Qiyin Sect of the Demon Sect, and the Demon Master's stay in the capital for these years has been arranged by her.

Also because of this!

Her status among the nine paths of the Demon Sect has risen.

Regarding this legendary Demon Master, the more she gets along with him, the more terrifying she feels.

Huang Dao narrowed his eyes, looking at the two people walking from the street.

Especially!

On the person walking slightly behind.

Over the years, every time he thinks back, he still has lingering fears.

Xie Mu saw this and stood up, following Huang Dao's gaze to look at the two people under the street.

He knew Huang Dao's fear of Lu Yu, so he asked: "What are you going to do? Four against one or sit and reap the benefits?"

Huang Dao shook his head, his gaze turned to the direction of the Western Depot, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

He sighed lightly and said:

"Forget it, don't take this risk. When I was on Mount Zhongnan, this Lu Yu might have already been in the Heavenly Human realm."

"Now that spiritual energy has just recovered, he can reach the Heavenly Human realm directly. Such a genius is rare in the world. I don't know what realm he has reached now!"

"If this person doesn't die, I won't be at peace."

Xie Mu followed Huang Dao all the way to the capital over the years and found that he was indeed good to him.

Helped him open up the Ren and Du meridians all the way, and taught him several of the most profound techniques in the Demon Sect. In just a few years, he was only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster.

Xie Mu was a bit worried, he hadn't been home for several years in the capital.

He was just worried about bringing trouble to his family!

And now the Xie family is the center of the court.

Xie Mu's father, Xie Xie Chunan, is the Minister of Rites.

Eldest sister Xie Xie Lingxuan.

And an older brother, who is also an official in the court, is also a third-rank official.

In the years he hasn't been home, the Xie family has become more and more prominent.

"Playing like this, right!"

Xie Mu smiled bitterly in his heart. He had followed his father many times, wanting to see if this old man who was over sixty years old was well.

He had also sneaked into the Xie family to visit his eldest sister and mother secretly, but each time he came and went in a hurry.

Now his identity is sensitive!

Concerning the death of the emperor on Mount Zhongnan, he was afraid of harming the whole family.

When he was eight years old, his father had measured his horoscope, saying that he had an extraordinary life and was born with wealth.

However, Xie Mu now can only cry without tears. He mocked himself: "Dad, you even lied to a child!"

He followed Huang Dao every day, living a life of fear, where is there any "wealth" to speak of.

Xie Mu asked Huang Dao:

"Who is the strongest of the three Great Grandmasters?"

Huang Dao smiled:

"The strongest is naturally me."

Xie Mu was helpless, "I didn't ask you."

Xie Mu's question immediately aroused the curiosity of the woman in purple gauze, because the ranking of the Great Qing's four Great Grandmasters has always been a hot topic in the Jianghu.

Now, one of the Great Grandmasters, Huang Dao, is right in front of her, and his evaluation is naturally the most accurate.

Huang Dao began to evaluate the other three Great Grandmasters one by one.

"Chen Chen Sanzhong, he can use an incomplete body to practice a Vajra physique. This perseverance and talent are extraordinary, but he is used to being a dog for that Empress Dowager, losing the courage to move forward in his heart, and is a bit weaker, the weakest of the three."

"Jiang Jiang Xiaoyue, he has spent his whole life pursuing the extreme of martial arts. His palm technique is indeed worthy of being the world's number one. Throughout the ages, in terms of palm technique skills, he has reached the extreme. But the way of martial arts is not just about pursuing the extreme of one skill, but should adopt the strengths of each family, integrate them, the path is too small!"

Finally, Huang Dao mentioned the foolish monk of Lingxi Temple.

Huang Dao touched his chin and hesitated:

"Instead, this foolish monk of Lingxi Temple, he has never killed anyone with his own hands in his life. When I first became a Great Grandmaster, I fought with him, and I couldn't see his depth. He should be the first of the three."

The woman in purple gauze was surprised when she heard this.

She originally thought Jiang Jiang Xiaoyue would be the first of the three, Chen Chen Sanzhong second, and the foolish monk third.

But Huang Dao's evaluation completely overturned her thoughts.

Just as the woman in purple gauze was still thinking about Huang Dao's words.

Huang Dao suddenly smiled and said: "Here!"

The woman in purple gauze and Xie Mu both looked in the direction of Huang Dao's gaze.

Only to see!

Lu Chen and the other had already stepped into the Western Depot.

……

……

【You and Lu Yu came to the outside of the Western Depot gate side by side, only to see Ma Bao already waiting here, the eunuchs on both sides knelt to welcome them neatly, and the scene was solemn.】

【Ma Bao said respectfully: "Lu Shaobao, please come in!"】

【You saw that Ma Bao was ashamed in his heart, but you didn't care.】

【Following, the two of you walked in.】

【The vermilion gate of the Western Depot slowly closed, isolating the outside world.】

【At this time, a trace of coldness appeared on Lu Yu's face!】

Came a little late, originally could have been two chapters, but it was a bit of a break, so I just combined it into one chapter, rest assured that it will be updated every day, just not much quantity, woo woo!
