Ying Zheng suddenly frowned and raised his hand to stop him.
"Relying solely on you and Luo Wang may not be a safe bet."
"Immediately issue orders to all the philosophers and scholars, as well as Li Si and others."
"I not only want Xie Tiao, but I must also get Shang Xiufang. This matter cannot be lost."
"If we fail, bring me your head."
"As ordered..."
Zhao Gao's expression darkened slightly, but he dared not disobey.
Genghis Khan also recognized Shang Xiufang's value.
The Great Yuan Secret Method, which can be revived through reincarnation, is most vulnerable to being entangled by inner demons.
With each lifetime, one's cultivation and memories increase, but so do inner demons.
Most reincarnated individuals seal away their past lives, but their inner demons take the opportunity to devour and grow stronger.
Therefore, all the reincarnated powerful beings throughout history have hidden terrifying inner demons.
The Yuan Dynasty has always used Buddhist teachings and esoteric arts to suppress inner demons, but with little success.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many reincarnated individuals who mysteriously disappeared, and the survivors wouldn't have such strange personalities—like the Brain Demon Monk who was foolish and the Joyful Monk who was licentious.
For many years, the method to eradicate inner demons has always been what the Great Yuan Dynasty sought.
If Guiguzi hadn't been elusive, the Bodhi Heart-Clearing Pill would have been forcibly taken long ago.
Now, Shang Xiufang has reappeared in the world—
A living, reusable "Bodhi Heart-Cleansing Pill"!
Is this not a divinely granted Yuan Dynasty?
Temujin couldn't help but sneer:
“Uncle, this woman is related to the fate of the Great Yuan Dynasty and even more so to my grand ambitions and hegemony.”
"Your subject swears to fight to the death!"
Si Hanfei solemnly kowtowed and accepted the order.
In Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, undercurrents were swirling within the Daming Palace.
"How interesting! The Nine Heavenly Saintess of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion has become nothing more than a foil to Ximen Yu."
"Thanks to Ximen Yu, Miao Chengtian was able to reverse his innate severed meridians into divine meridians."
"Sara-tian also received the superior transmission from Ximen Yu."
What is the true intention of Heaven's will?
"Could it be that only Ximen Yu in the world is proficient in medicine?"
"It's not just medical skills; is he the only one who possesses supreme martial arts?"
"Wan'er, is it possible that our Great Tang Dynasty cannot find a divine physician, a master of music, or a peerless composer?"
Shangguan Wan'er looked helpless.
The Nine Heavenly Maidens are all exceptionally beautiful, each with her own unique charm.
But Wu Zetian, as an empress, had countless beauties in her palace, so why would she care about a few women from the Jianghu?
The one who truly deserves our attention is Shang Xiufang, the renowned and talented woman.
But she knew the Empress's thoughts.
After being repeatedly humiliated by the Azure Dragon Society and looked down upon by Ximen Yu,
The empress had been harboring resentment for a long time.
The fact that Tiandao frequently mentions Ximen Yu makes her even more unhappy.
"Your Majesty is wise; our Great Tang Dynasty has divine physicians who can cure Miao Chengtian's illness."
"The celestial music can also help the Sala Heaven break through."
"Immediately summon the Illusionary Sound Pavilion to present these two women."
The so-called Empress of the Illusionary Sound Pavilion is nothing but a hollow name in the martial arts world.
Within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, one must ultimately obey the imperial decree.
"Granted. Send someone else to search for Shang Xiufang's whereabouts."
Even if it's difficult to find a trace, it must not fall into Qin Yuan's hands.
After her anger subsided, Wu Zetian finally remembered Shang Xiufang.
She knew this woman was of extraordinary value.
Therefore, it was predicted that neither Qin nor Yuan would yield.
Although they wanted to unite against the Azure Dragon Society,
But how can we simply hand over such figures who are crucial to the fate of the nation?
"Your humble servant obeys the order and will immediately invite Lady Shang to stay in the palace temporarily."
......
Inside the tallest building in Yunzhou Tianxiahui.
After reading Shang Xiufang's intelligence report, the old man in purple couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:
"The land of Kyushu is indeed a place where hidden talents abound."
"A mere, frail woman, yet her singing voice could help someone overcome their inner demons."
"You... know how to proceed?"
The mention of the word "inner demons" caused a flicker of fear to cross the old man's face.
Clearly, despite his high level of martial arts skills, he could not escape the torment of his inner demons.
"After all these years, it's time you let go of this knot in your heart."
Xiong Ba casually used the Blood Rejuvenation Hand to drain the life essence of several death row inmates.
He turned to look at the leader in purple and sneered, "You want to achieve hegemony and climb to the pinnacle of martial arts?"
"These kinds of inner demons are the most troublesome!"
I advise you to cut off your inner demons as soon as possible!
"Nonsense!"
The leader in purple blushed, but when the topic of inner demons came up,
That stunningly beautiful woman in white reappeared before his eyes, shaking his very soul.
"You're just ignorant!"
"Besides, she detests the Returning Blood Hand technique the most, and now you've mastered it."
"Hmph! When she comes knocking on your door, you'll know what true inner demons are."
Xiong Ba nonchalantly spread his hands, feeling the endless flow of life energy into his body.
I could vaguely sense that the barrier between our realms was loosening.
This Blood Hand technique is indeed incredibly profound!
"What inner demons? No matter how high her martial arts skills are."
"Could it possibly surpass the power of Dugu Qiubai's sword jade?"
"this......"
The purple-clad leader's expression shifted unpredictably.
The nightmare in his heart was indeed unmatched by him.
As a result, his cultivation stagnated for many years.
They could only lie dormant inside the No. 1 Building Under Heaven.
The sword jade that Dugu Qiubai threw that day
The sharp sword energy it contains is indeed despair-inducing.
If it weren't for that mysterious master's intervention...
Even if he and Xiong Ba don't die, they will surely become crippled.
Even a wisp of sword intent sealed within the jade possesses such power.
How terrifying must the Sword Master Ximen Yu's strength be?
Compared to his inner demons, which is stronger?
Even someone as formidable as the leader of the purple-clad gang couldn't help but feel bewildered at this moment.
To an ant, Mount Tai and ordinary mountains are both unattainable.
How can one distinguish the differences between them?
"Forget it! I don't want to think about it anymore."
"Go quickly and bring Shang Xiufang to see me."
The leader in purple grew increasingly terrified, his head throbbing with pain.
He left those words behind and disappeared into the secret room.
"Really..."
Xiong Ba stared in the direction he had left, a hint of disdain on his lips.
In his view, a true strong person should not be so timid and hesitant.
Otherwise, how could one reach the pinnacle of martial arts?
However, out of consideration for their father-son relationship, he ultimately refrained from saying anything harsh.
"Very well! Such a woman who can help people overcome their inner demons is indeed a rare treasure."
In the hearts of ruthless tycoons, profit always comes first.
At a single command, the powerful members of the World Alliance threw themselves into this grand feast of vying for a special beauty.
......
Within the territory of the Great Han Dynasty, deep in the mountains with their overlapping peaks.
Yin Tianxue led Dugu Qiubai and the other two through the waterfall to a strange place.
This place is fragrant with flowers, filled with birdsong, and lush with vegetation.
Even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is several times richer than that of the outside world.
"Indeed, this is a blessed land. How could the Great Dragon Head, thousands of miles away, know of this place?"
Dugu Jian had only recently joined the Azure Dragon Society and didn't know much about Ximen Yu.
"Hehe, Dugu, if you stay in the Azure Dragon Society long enough, you'll understand that the Great Dragon Leader's forte isn't martial arts."
Zhang Daoling stroked his beard and smiled.
"What else could it be but martial arts?"
The sword intent that erupted from that sword jade was something Dugu Jian would never forget.
Not to mention that the poem that the Great Dragon Head casually recited allowed him to comprehend the Twenty-Three Sword Technique.
If it's not martial arts, then what is it?
Suddenly, Dugu Jian looked at Yin Tianxue, who was leading the way with a lively personality, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
"I see that the Great Dragon Leader is surrounded by beautiful women, all of whom are utterly loyal to him."
"Could it be that the Great Dragon Head's greatest skill lies in controlling women?"
"ah..."
