PDLP Chapter 30: Immortal Raising Gu? Entering Hengshan
Chapter 30: Immortal Raising Gu? Entering Hengshan
Cheng Kun was utterly shocked. He couldn't understand how this kid knew all these secrets so clearly.
Especially his affair with his junior sister, which even Yang Dingtian only discovered before his death.
He only told people this when he was overjoyed after nearly defeating the six top masters of the Ming Cult at Bright Peak...
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: this is more than 100 years in the future!
I suppose those things about me are no longer a secret.
His thoughts raced, and he immediately said, "This is Wei Yixiao slandering me. Since you know my identity, you should know that I and the Ming Cult are mortal enemies."
"I killed a few members of the Ming Cult, and he accused me of hunting supernatural beings..."
It turns out that the man in blue was Wei Yixiao, the Green-Winged Bat King of the Ming Cult.
Wei Yixiao sneered, "You killed Leng Qian and Zhuang Zheng; they were indeed members of the Ming Cult!"
"But the two elders of Mount Hua, Kongxing of Shaolin, and Zong Weixia of the Five Elders of Mount Kongtong..."
"Especially that Shaolin monk Kongxing, who was your fellow disciple, also fell victim to your cruelty. If you're not hunting down extraordinary individuals, what are you doing?"
Cheng Kun was lucky; after transmigrating to this era, he met Zhuang Zheng, the flag bearer of the Ming Cult's Sharp Golden Banner.
Given his enmity with the Ming Cult, he naturally seized the opportunity to kill.
After the murder, a thought popped into his mind: the golden light that had brought him to this era and entered his body contained the blessing of an immortal.
By killing more people like this and seizing their blessings, one can activate the blessings and master the supernatural powers bestowed by the immortals.
So he came up with a plan and left the marks of various sects along the way to attract people from all the sects in the era of Yitian to come and meet him.
Leng Qian, one of the Five Wanderers, the Two Elders of Mount Hua, Kongxing of Shaolin, and Zong Weixia, one of the Five Elders of Kongtong, were all unlucky.
Wei Yixiao was also absorbed, but his exceptional lightness skill allowed him to escape unscathed. He then followed Cheng Kun and discovered these events...
Finally, Cheng Kun ambushed Wei Yixiao, leaving him unable to escape, which led to what just happened.
Therefore, Cheng Kun would certainly not admit it. This kid seems to be an "extraordinary person". If he reveals this secret, what if he kills me and steals my blessing?
Therefore, Cheng Kun repeatedly denied it and refused to say anything even if beaten to death.
Without another word, Li Ping beheaded him with a single sword stroke...
Subsequently, his abilities changed again.
Name: Li Ping
"Ability: Time Reversal"
"Uses: 4/5 (Can be used actively; ability automatically triggered upon death; maximum rewind time: 60 minutes; use recovery time: 24 hours)"
"Ability: Time Manipulation"
"Multiple: 0.8 times"
"Usage time: 25 minutes (can accelerate or slow down its own time flow; cooldown time: 15 minutes)"
He had just been struck by Cheng Kun's Illusory Yin True Qi, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and had to use Time Rewind once.
The limit for rewinding time has now increased by another ten minutes, the time manipulation multiplier has increased by 0.1, and the usage time has also increased by five minutes.
It looks normal.
But based on previous experience, the more you upgrade your abilities, the more people you need to kill. If he kills Cheng Kun, he probably won't get such a big increase!
So, if I'm not mistaken, others also gained something from killing these transmigrators?
And when I killed Cheng Kun, I took all his spoils?
That unknown entity sent people from other timelines to this world and then bestowed upon them some wondrous seeds of ability...
Can killing others also allow you to steal their ability seeds?
Good heavens, are they raising poisonous insects here?
I might actually be right. If this gets out, the martial arts world will be in complete chaos!
However, if a higher-level force intervenes, then this world might actually be saved...
Otherwise, no matter how high one's martial arts skills are, how could one possibly withstand the immense power of the collapse of the river of time?
Then, Li Ping patted Cheng Kun's body and found nothing but some silver coins. He said, "Let's go..."
Wei Yixiao was a member of the Ming Cult and had participated in the anti-Yuan movement. He was a real man, but Li Ping really didn't want to deal with this guy who practiced martial arts by drinking human blood.
Wei Yixiao, however, didn't care at all and laughed: "It seems that you have heard of my reputation and do not want to have anything to do with a freak like me."
"That's only natural."
"However, I, Wei Yixiao, never owe favors. You saved my life, so I should repay you!"
"I have nothing of value, but I see that your agility is superb, your swordsmanship is exquisite, and I also have some knowledge of lightness skills..."
After saying that, he took out a booklet: "This is the culmination of my life's work. I'm giving it to you now. If you don't like it, you can use it to wipe your butt..."
Li Ping didn't stand on ceremony; he took the booklet and left, after all, Wei Yixiao's lightness skill was hailed as the best in Jin Yong's novels.
Wei Yixiao looked at Cheng Kun's corpse and sighed deeply: "There are actually some good things about coming to this era. At least the Tartars have been driven away."
"I've read history books, although I don't know why it wasn't the religious leader who became emperor, but that unknown Zhu Yuanzhang."
"But Zhu Yuanzhang was able to drive out the Tartars, restore China, and accomplish such a great feat, so naturally he should also become emperor."
"But he was also a member of my Ming Cult, yet after gaining power, he ruthlessly turned against the Ming Cult..."
"The transformation of the Ming Cult into the Sun Moon Cult was most likely his doing."
"When the birds are all gone, the bow is put away; when the rabbit is dead, the hunting dog is cooked... that's just how things are, haha!"
"Unfortunately, the Sun Moon Cult is not the Ming Cult after all..."
Even someone as carefree as him was filled with emotion when he thought about how the Ming Cult had disappeared and become something he didn't recognize!
Then, the sound of wind breaking rang out, and several people wielding swords and knives surrounded him.
Wei Yixiao chuckled and said, "So, Master Dongfang, you really won't let me go?"
After arriving in this world, he inquired about the Ming Cult and eventually found out about the Sun Moon Cult, learning about its connection with the Ming Cult.
He felt a strong sense of belonging to the Ming Cult, so he went to the Sun Moon Cult, revealed his identity, and even demonstrated his Frost Palm and lightness skill.
Before he traveled through time, he had just arrived at Wudang with Zhang Wuji to provide assistance. The cold poison in his body had been removed, so he no longer needed to drink blood.
Wei Yixiao's legacy has been preserved within the Sun Moon Cult.
This demonstration convinced the followers to believe him to some extent, and they then led him to Blackwood Cliff.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a trap. He used his lightness skill to fight his way out of the trap, but the people of the Sun Moon Cult relentlessly pursued him.
The leader of this group is Shangguan Yun, known as the Eagle Hero. He is an elder of the White Tiger Hall of the Sun Moon Divine Cult and one of the ten elders.
He said coldly, "You charlatan, spreading your heretical lies! What do you mean you're the Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao? How can you utter such a ridiculous lie?"
"The leader is too busy with important matters to bother with someone as insignificant as you."
"Your blasphemy against our ancestors has been ordered by Steward Yang to be executed..."
Wei Yixiao was severely injured by Cheng Kun and unable to move. At this point, he could only admit defeat and was about to be hacked to death.
Suddenly, Shangguan Yun flashed, and several black needles struck the cult member.
Shangguan Yun's pupils dilated: "Black Blood Divine Needle."
Then a figure descended from the sky, struck him with a palm, knocked him back, and then ran away with Wei Yixiao.
Shangguan Yun stared at the figure, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty: "Qu Yang!"
……
Just as Li Ping and his two companions entered Hengshan, it started raining again, and the three of them arrived at a restaurant.
Because of Liu Zhengfeng's retirement from the martial arts world, Hengshan is now filled with martial arts practitioners carrying swords and knives.
Along the way, Huang Rong and Su Ying were curious about the Ming Cult, so Li Ping told them the story of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
Huang Rong found it interesting, especially since the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber were related to her, and even her daughter had become the founder of the Emei Sect!
But Su Ying frowned deeply.
She lived in an era when the Ming Dynasty had just been founded.
If the Ming Cult truly held such a high position in the martial arts world, it's impossible that they wouldn't know about it at all!
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang discarded his followers after they were all gone, there must have been some rumors about the Ming Cult with its many members in the martial arts world...
As a result, she had never heard of any of the few people mentioned, and these people were only known in the imperial court, not in the martial arts world.
Especially that miraculous Qiankun Great Shift skill, almost comparable to the legendary "Transferring Flowers and Jade" technique, there must be some rumors about it in the martial arts world...
Huang Rong asked curiously, "What's wrong, Sister Su?"
Su Ying voiced her doubts, then looked at Li Ping, believing that he could answer her question.
Li Ping said, "This matter is quite complicated. I'll explain it to you in detail when I have some free time."
"You guys should be mentally prepared, don't worry, it's not a bad thing. It's just that this matter is too mysterious..."
At this moment, several swordsmen from the martial arts world came up the stairs.
One of them, upon seeing Li Ping, immediately changed his expression: "Li Ping, the Executioner! You villain, you killed my master, destroyed my Qingcheng Sect, and you dare to come to Hengshan? Could it be that you're plotting against the Hengshan Sect?"
"You're showing no respect for the righteous path of the martial world!"
