Martial Arts Crossover: That night, Huang Rong descended from the sky.

Chapter 230: Dragging respectable women into prostitution, persuading prostitutes to reform themselv

Upon hearing Zhu Yuyan's words, in everyone's eyes, Zhu Yuyan appeared so delicate and pitiful, while Li Ping had become a scumbag who would deny everything after pulling up his pants, utterly despicable.

They couldn't wait to grab their knives and settle scores with Li Ping, and protect the delicate beauty before them.

At this moment, a clear and melodious voice rang out: "Sect Leader Zhu, your charm is truly unparalleled!"

"However, it would be good if Brother Li became the sect leader of the Yin Gui Sect."

"The Yin Gui Sect has a long and rich history. Brother Li becoming the sect leader may allow the Yin Gui Sect to return to its origins, which would be a great merit!"

It was Qin Mengyao who spoke. Her voice reached everyone's ears, and they immediately became clear-headed, then were greatly alarmed.

What happened to me just now?

Guan Qi murmured, "Just now, my mind was influenced by this woman? Is this the mental weakness Li Ping was talking about..."

"I actually have such a huge flaw?! Seduction techniques, is that a martial art too?"

Liu Wu's expression changed drastically. Even someone as indifferent to women as he was had been affected by Zhu Yuyan's voice.

Is this the cultivation of divinity and will?

Can one's spiritual cultivation really reach such a level?

Master Fangzheng chanted a Buddhist prayer: "This female benefactor truly possesses unparalleled charm..."

Even he, a great monk who had seen through the illusions of self and others and whose Buddhist teachings were profound, was actually affected by Zhu Yuyan's seductive charm just now.

He thought to himself, "Wow, that's amazing!"

Zhang Sanfeng had already spread the word about the cultivation of divine will throughout the world, but only now did everyone finally see how terrifying a true master who had cultivated both divine will and will to the peak level was!

With just a few words, he was able to influence the minds of so many people, and none of them were weak!

Many people also noticed that Qin Mengyao neutralized Zhu Yuyan's unparalleled seductive skills with just one sentence.

Was this girl really that strong?

No wonder he dared to challenge Qianluo just now.

Only Li Ping was truly immune to such seductive tactics.

You should know that he started by practicing the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique. Every day when he practiced, all sorts of short films would automatically play in his mind, pushing the limits of his imagination.

Even under these circumstances, he still had to concentrate on practicing his skills, as his resistance to seductive arts was terrifyingly strong.

Zhu Yuyan stared coldly at Qin Mengyao: "The Cihang Sword Manual? You're Shi Feixuan... No, impossible!"

"Shi Feixuan isn't that strong, and neither is Fan Qinghui."

"So, you are a successor of Cihang Jingzhai from another era?!"

"Ridiculous! Aren't the techniques of your Cihang Jingzhai essentially still seductive arts?"

"To make herself look like an angel, isn't it all just to seduce men?"

"When you encounter someone you can't defeat, you send them a disciple, claiming it's a sacrifice to feed the demon. But those who truly admire you can't even touch your finger!"

"Isn't this bullying an honest person?"

"So hypocritical! What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for!"

Qin Mengyao was naturally an eloquent person, and she could easily refute Zhu Yuyan's words with many reasons.

But remembering the tragic fates of his master and senior sister Jin Bingyun, he sighed softly and remained silent.

Li Ping originally wanted to retaliate fiercely against Zhu Yuyan, but upon hearing Qin Mengyao's words, he became somewhat curious: "So, how exactly did the Demonic Sect come about?"

Qin Mengyao said, "That's a long story."

"The Demonic Sect as a whole originates from the Hundred Schools of Thought of the pre-Qin period, including Mohism, Yin-Yang, Diplomacy, Logicians, Legalism, Yang Zhu, and Fangji..."

"After Emperor Wu of Han promoted Confucianism as the sole state ideology, they were suppressed, forced to merge, and went underground."

"In the end, the 'Heavenly Demon' Cang Qu gathered all kinds of strange techniques and compiled the 'Heavenly Demon Strategy' to establish his sect. Later, it split into two factions and six paths, each holding a fragment of the 'Heavenly Demon Strategy' and developing based on different schools of thought."

Li Ping pondered for a moment: "Take the Flower School for example, their underlying principles should come from the School of Diplomacy, right?"

"Like the Evil King Shi Zhixuan?"

Qin Mengyao nodded: "That's true, but it's more than that. The Flower School is a fusion of the School of Diplomacy and the School of Names. In its early days, they were all strategists who could influence the world with a single word, capable of swaying the court and shaking the martial arts world!"

"But by our time, it had gone completely astray."

'

Li Ping added, "No wonder, I felt there was nothing wrong with what Shi Zhixuan, disguised as Pei Ju, did!"

"So, could the Patching Heaven Pavilion have originated from those assassins of the pre-Qin period? Like Jing Ke and Nie Zheng?"

Qin Mengyao said, "Pretty much the same!"

Li Ping laughed: "So the Evil Extreme Sect was probably involved in tomb raiding before? Like tomb raiders or something?"

"So that's why the Evil Emperor's Relic was unearthed from underground, and why Emperor Ding, You Niaojuan, is so skilled at digging up graves?"

"The Heavenly Lotus Sect's merchants, are they perhaps eclectic figures like Lü Buwei?"

"This is getting interesting!"

"I don't know much about the various schools of thought in the pre-Qin period, but regardless of their theories, when the sages first proposed them, it was all for the purpose of figuring out how to stop chaos, how to govern the world, and how to secure one's own safety..."

Li Ping looked at Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan: "Then why did you become the source of chaos? Is it that extreme?"

Zhu Yuyan did not expect that Li Ping would be so serious about discussing the ideals of the Demonic Sect with her.

She was extremely surprised, then somewhat annoyed: "Didn't you hear me?"

"Our ancestors were first suppressed by Confucianism, and later by a combined force of Buddhism and Taoism!"

"If things didn't change, we would have been wiped out long ago..."

Li Ping shook his head and said, "That's not right, because you're not getting better, you're getting worse!"

"If things didn't change, we would have been wiped out long ago..."

Li Ping shook his head and said, "That's not right, because you're not getting better, you're getting worse!"

"It's like what people are saying about you, you're a fucking bad guy!"

"And then you say, 'I'm a bad guy, and I'm going to show you how bad I can be, in ways you can't even imagine...'"

"How can you possibly win against the righteous path like this?"

"You guys are probably thinking like this: if you're going to pretend to be good people, then I'll do it even better than you..."

"If your theories are more beneficial to national development and can improve the lives of ordinary people!"

"When the time comes, will the world support you, or will it support Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism?"

Zhu Yuyan was truly stunned, because Li Ping was genuinely considering the Demonic Sect's interests, not just going through the motions.

She said coldly, "You make it sound so easy for you to talk. Back then..."

Li Ping waved his hand: "Those were those days, now is now, now is the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is still very open-minded..."

At this moment, Wanwan couldn't help but say, "Open? Do you really think we haven't been here long enough to know nothing?"

"There was once a great Confucian scholar named Wang Yangming who proposed the 'philosophy of mind,' which broke the previous framework of Confucianism, but he was regarded as a heretic and his official career was full of setbacks."

"Single-handedly, he made such a great contribution to the rebellion of Prince Pingning, yet he was only given a nominal title."

"If I hadn't joined the emperor in defeating the Tatar royal court, I wouldn't be in such a prominent position now!"

"You're telling me the social atmosphere is open-minded?"

Li Ping clapped his hands: "That's incorrect!"

"The suppression of Yangming's philosophy of mind was a direct clash with the orthodox Ming Dynasty's imperial examination system. The Demonic School, returning to its roots, had no connection to the imperial examinations, so how could there be a conflict?"

"At least Old Wang only had a bumpy career; his whole family wasn't wiped out."

"Although the imperial court disliked the School of Mind, it did not prohibit its spread, and even if it did, it couldn't be stopped!"

"If the Ming Dynasty can tolerate the propagation of the School of Mind, then it can also tolerate the return of the demonic sect to its true nature!"

"So if you really want me to be the sect leader of the Yin Gui Sect, then you have to change..."

"The Demonic Sect must return to its most fundamental path."

"In this chaotic era of gods and demons, use your knowledge and wisdom to find a way out for this world and for people."

"If we can achieve this, what will prevent the Demonic Sect from prospering? At that time, who will dare to call you the Demonic Sect?"

Zhu Zhuyan is really dumbfounded.

As Li Ping spoke, she seemed to see a golden road, so dazzling, so bright...

But it was precisely because it was so bright and dazzling that she dared not approach it, dared not look directly at it!

Kou Zhong pursed his lips and said, "What are you trying to achieve by saying so much?"

Isn't this just the same old trick of dragging respectable women into prostitution and persuading sex workers to reform themselves...?

If these people from the Demonic Sect can change their names, I'll just write my name backwards!
