Yue Lingshan, who had already gathered around, looked at the martial arts seniors in the hall who had previously been showing off and acting like grandmasters, but were now all frightened by Yihua Palace and Yaoyue. She asked her junior brother with great curiosity, “Are Yihua Palace and Yaoyue really that terrifying? I know Yaoyue is very powerful, a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, ranked sixth on the Martial Arts Ranking, but she shouldn’t be this scary, right? Haitang’s adoptive father, Iron-Blooded Marquis, is only third.”

“Hehe, that stuff is probably from some ancient almanac, how can you even use it as a reference?”

Yihua Palace is a forbidden area in the martial arts world, but it is also a place where all kinds of flowers bloom, like a fairyland.

Since its founding, the Embroidered Jade Valley and the Flower Palace have been filled with beautiful women. During the era of the Grand Palace Master Yaoyue and the Second Palace Master Lianxing, not only did the two peerless beauties of the palace master possess an unparalleled elegance, but even their servants, such as Huayuenü, Helu, and Tiepinggu, maintained a cold, elegant, proud, and noble aura to the outside world.

The ultimate skill practiced by this sect is called Mingyu Gong, one of the ten great martial arts skills in the martial arts world. It is also the most suitable skill for women to practice. This skill is divided into nine levels. As long as you can master the sixth level, you can compete with the top masters of the time. If you can master the eighth level, you will be invincible.

If one cultivates to the ninth level of the peak, one’s skin will be as transparent as jade when practicing, and one’s power will not be dissipated but rather drawn inward. Therefore, practicing this skill will not deplete one’s internal energy and can even increase one’s power, reaching a state of endless and inexhaustible power.

Furthermore, the true energy within her body will form a vortex of suction force, and whatever touches her will be drawn to her like a magnet attracting iron.

Moreover, when the power is fully activated, the appearance will become more and more transparent, looking like white ice shrouded in cold mist. If you press on someone’s acupoints, the terrifying coldness generated by the true energy will penetrate straight to the bottom of their heart, causing their body to freeze into ice.

Moreover, the wonder of this divine skill is that it also makes people younger and more beautiful, allowing them to maintain their youth forever.

Using the current nine-rank standard as a benchmark, the fifth level of Mingyu Gong is equivalent to the fifth rank in the martial arts world, which is the level of the Thirteen Protectors and most of the leaders and elders of major martial arts sects. The sixth level is equivalent to the fourth rank. The seventh level is a watershed. Once you enter the seventh level, it is equivalent to entering the upper three ranks, and you can directly break through to the Innate Realm. The eighth level is the Innate Grandmaster, and the ninth level is the Innate Grandmaster, which is above the first rank.

If one can break through the original nine levels and comprehend one’s own tenth level, one can directly break through the innate level and enter a completely new level.

The two sisters, Yaoyue and Lianxing, broke through to the eighth level twenty years ago, with Yaoyue even reaching the peak of the eighth level. Now, the lowest level they have is the ninth level, and it is not impossible for them to even break through to the ninth level and comprehend their own tenth level.

That means they are guaranteed to be in the top three in the martial arts world, and there is a considerable possibility that they are already invincible.

At the same time, the sisters are absolutely invincible when they join forces. Even if you include those hidden innate grandmasters, they will never be a match for the two sisters working together. The mere Songshan Sect can be wiped out by a group of disciples and maids without the sisters having to lift a finger.

“Oh, there’s a rule in the Yihua Palace: disciples aren’t allowed to leave the valley until they reach the sixth level, and maids need to be at least at the fifth level to leave. Everyone in the Yihua Palace cultivates the Mingyu Technique.”

Zhang Weihao’s remarks stunned everyone, and Shangguan Haitang didn’t even notice that she had spilled wine on herself.

Although she knew some things about the Yihua Palace, she never imagined it would be so terrifying. Even though she had a lot of confidence in her adoptive father, if Yaoyue Lianxing was really that terrifying… then… who could be a match for the sisters?

Jiang Yuyan said with a surprised look, “I didn’t expect Young Master Zhang to know so much about our Yihua Palace.”

“Not at all. I don’t have many other skills, but I do know a lot of secrets about the martial arts world.”

“My master did indeed break through to the ninth level ten years ago, and my second master will be close to it as well.” Jiang Yuyan didn’t think there was anything to hide. They were already invincible, and it was probably only others who could do that.

Mo Xiaobei is different from Jiang Yuyan. Even though Mingyu Gong can make people more and more beautiful, the fourteen or fifteen-year-old Mo Xiaobei in front of you can only be said to be not ugly, but she is definitely not pretty.

However, Zhang Weihao could tell that her approximate strength was probably at the sixth level of the Mingyu Gong, which was just the minimum standard for venturing out into the martial world.

“What the Songshan Sect wants to do is your business and I can’t interfere, but this is Hengshan City, the territory of the Hengshan Sect, and it’s up to my Mo family. My grandfather is Mo Da, and I, Mo Xiaobei, am the future head of the Hengshan Sect. You’re the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, right? Go back and tell Zuo Lengchan that our Hengshan Sect doesn’t accept him as the leader. I, Mo Xiaobei, will personally go to Songshan to challenge him. If he defeats me, the Crimson Flame Demon Mo Xiaobei, then he can continue to be the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance. If he can’t even beat a little girl like me, then he might as well let me, Mo Xiaobei, take over as the leader.”

Fei Bin naturally knew that the Yihua Palace was not someone he could afford to offend, so he could only step forward to change the subject, saying, “Senior Brother Liu, today’s matter has nothing to do with the Hengshan Sect or its leader, Master Mo Da. You don’t need to involve them. Alliance Leader Zuo has instructed us to investigate with you: What kind of collusion do you have with the Demonic Sect Leader, Dongfang Bubai? What kind of conspiracy have you devised to deal with my Five Mountains Sword Sect and all the righteous sects in the martial arts world?”

Upon hearing Fei Bin’s words, the assembled heroes were immediately moved, and many of them exclaimed in surprise.

The Sun Moon Sect and the heroes of the righteous path are irreconcilable enemies, their feud lasting for over a century, with each side experiencing victories and defeats.

Of the more than a thousand people in this hall, at least half had suffered at the hands of the Demonic Sect. Some had their fathers and brothers killed, and some had their teachers and elders murdered. Everyone hated the Demonic Sect with a vengeance.

The main reason why the Five Mountains Sword Sects formed an alliance was to deal with the Demonic Sect.

The Demonic Cult was numerous and powerful, with highly skilled martial arts. Although the righteous sects each had their own unique skills, they were often no match for them. The Demonic Cult leader, Dongfang Bubai, was even known as the “Number One Master of the Era.” His name was “Invincible,” and indeed, he had never been defeated since he mastered his skills, which made him truly extraordinary.

When the heroes heard Fei Bin accuse Liu Zhengfeng of colluding with the Demonic Sect, and knew that this matter was indeed related to their lives, their initial sympathy for Liu Zhengfeng immediately vanished.
