Yan Shisan said in a cold voice.
After discussing it for a while, the group couldn't help but look at Bai Yutai again.
Lang Fanyun's inclusion on the list has reduced one of their rivals, and made them even more eager to see who will be on the list next.
In the third private room on the east side of the fourteenth floor.
Bu Jingyun said, "Ying Shuntian's 'A Sword Across Worlds'? I've heard of it too, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful."
His eyes gleamed with excitement, clearly showing his great admiration for this sword technique.
Xiong Ba sneered, "The Demon Emperor Ying Shuntian is coming back. This world is indeed going to be in chaos. This is the perfect opportunity for me to rise to power!"
After they finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Bai Yutai, waiting for Su Chen's next comments.
Currently, the number of masters in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty is indeed not to be underestimated.
Su Chen felt the intense gazes directed at him, smiled slightly, and said loudly:
"Next, let's comment on the next expert on the list."
"Seventh on the list of champions, Pang Ban."
"The martial arts community of the Ming Dynasty should be quite familiar with this top expert."
"At his peak, he was virtually invincible in the martial arts world. His methods were extremely cruel, and he was known as the most terrifying demon after the Demon Emperor Ying Shuntian."
"People like Bai Xiaolou, the leader of a certain sect in the Western Regions, Yang Dingtian, the leader of the Ming Cult, and Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon Cult, are simply not worth mentioning compared to Pang Ban."
"Although everyone in the martial arts world knows that Pang Ban is an extremely terrifying demon, few people know where his demonic powers come from."
"Actually, although Pang Ban was from the Central Plains, he was a disciple of Meng Chixing, a top expert of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, and grew up in the Mongol Yuan Dynasty."
"Therefore, Pang Ban has been secretly working for the Mongol Yuan Dynasty."
"He roamed the martial world, defeated many famous masters, established the Demon Master Palace, and recruited evil figures, all with the aim of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty's martial world and allowing the Mongol Yuan Dynasty to take the opportunity to invade."
"However, it is worth mentioning that..."
"Although Pang Ban became a disciple of Meng Chixing of the Demonic Sect, he later surpassed his master."
"He not only learned all the unique skills of the Demonic Sect, but also successfully cultivated the supreme secret manual of the Demonic Sect, 'The Demonic Seed of the Dao Heart,' which was passed down from Meng Chixing in the Central Plains."
"It was precisely through the power of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique that Pang Ban broke through to the Land Immortal Realm in one fell swoop, becoming even stronger than his master."
"However, even heroes have always found it difficult to overcome the challenges of the past."
"Even a powerful figure like Pang Ban cannot escape the test of love."
"That year, he was already invincible in the martial arts world, and went alone to the last holy place of the righteous path - Cihang Jingzhai."
"Once he conquers this place, he can reign supreme in the martial world and make the Demon Master's Palace the strongest force in the Ming Dynasty's martial world."
"Although the Cihang Jingzhai of the Ming Dynasty is full of masters, they are like withered trees that have come back to life in the face of Pang Ban, and are no match for him."
"Not long after, he fought his way to the Jingxin Hall of Cihang Jingzhai."
"There, he met Yan Jing'an, the holy maiden of Cihang Jingzhai, and fell in love with her at first sight."
"Yan Jing'an then demanded that Pang Ban immediately return to the Demon Master's Palace, go into seclusion for thirty years, and never set foot in the martial world again."
"People might think that, given Pang Ban's ruthlessness, how could he agree to such an unreasonable request?"
"But he actually did it."
From that day on, Pang Ban stayed in the Demon Master's Palace for thirty years without ever stepping out.
The seventh place is actually the Demon Master Pang Ban?
The heroes and outlaws of the Ming Dynasty looked at each other, stunned for a moment.
The name Pang Ban was already widely known in the martial arts world.
Apart from the Demon Emperor Ying Shuntian from five hundred years ago, no one in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty could be as powerful as Pang Ban.
Back in the day, he was a tyrannical figure in the martial arts world, and anyone who stood in his way would die, and anyone who tried to stop him would perish.
At that time, Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, was in seclusion cultivating. He had dealt with almost all the sects and factions in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty.
Those so-called famous figures were utterly powerless in front of Pang Ban.
With just one person, he made the entire martial arts world bow down in submission!
In the past five hundred years, only Ying Shuntian and Pang Ban have accomplished something like this.
But when the list of the most outstanding figures in the Ming Dynasty was released, no one expected that Pang Ban would be on the list.
the reason is simple.
Pang Ban has been missing for a full thirty years!
Even though the Demon Master Palace was besieged by the righteous path multiple times and was on the verge of collapse, Pang Ban never showed up.
Given Pang Ban's previous combative nature, this was simply impossible.
Therefore, a rumor circulated in the martial arts world that Pang Ban died from a qi deviation during his practice.
Although no one can confirm it, everyone firmly believes it.
Only in this way can we explain why he has not appeared for thirty years.
Only now have people suddenly realized this.
Pang Ban is not dead at all!
Moreover, he broke through the realm of terrestrial immortals.
The reason he lived in seclusion for thirty years was because of a single sentence uttered by Yan Jing'an, the holy maiden of Cihang Jingzhai.
This reason sounds so bizarre that even if a celestial being were to say it, it would be hard to believe.
Pang Ban is the most terrifying demon after the Demon Emperor Ying Shuntian.
How could such a person retire for thirty years because of a single sentence?
At this moment, many people recalled Su Chen's previous evaluation of Song Que from Tian Dao.
Back then, Song Que was full of vigor and ambition, leading the Lingnan army across the river with the intention of vying for the world.
However, because of a single sentence uttered by the Holy Maiden Fan Qinghui of the Cihang Jingzhai of the Great Sui Dynasty, the 200,000-strong army immediately laid down their arms and returned to their fields, never to wage war again.
The two stories are almost identical.
In particular, they have one thing in common—both Pang Ban and Song Que were captivated by the Holy Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai.
This has impressed countless people in the martial arts world, who exclaimed, "Cihang Jingzhai is truly amazing!"
Previously, Fan Qinghui persuaded an army of 200,000 to retreat with a single sentence, thus averting a major battle.
Later, Yan Jing'an's words trapped Pang Ban for thirty years, saving the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty from a catastrophe.
This is the Holy Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai, who can change the course of the world with her beauty alone.
The two saintesses from back then are now the heads of their respective secluded retreats, and a new generation of saintesses is about to venture into the world.
This has made many talented young people eagerly anticipate the future.
They missed the brilliance of Fan Qinghui and Yan Jing'an, but they cannot miss this new generation of saintess.
What shocked everyone the most was Pang Ban's identity.
It turns out that he was actually a disciple of Meng Chixing, the Demon Sect of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, and an undercover agent planted by the Mongol Yuan Dynasty in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty, with the intention of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty.
This is such horrifying news.
Everyone in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty felt a chill run down their spine.
If Yan Jing'an hadn't imprisoned Pang Ban for thirty years, it's likely that not only would the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty have suffered, but the entire Ming Dynasty might have been destroyed.
Chapter 107 The Devil’s Strategy
As they pondered this, the crowd began to discuss it amongst themselves:
"What? The seventh-ranked person on the list is the Demon Master Pang Ban? I thought he was long dead!"
"Pang Ban has not appeared in the martial arts world for thirty years. I never expected it would be because of a single sentence from Yan Jing'an."
"Cihang Jingzhai is truly a sacred place of the righteous path, revered by the people. Yan Jing'an's move has really done a great favor to the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty."
"That's right! Who would have thought that the Demon Master Pang Ban was actually a spy for the Mongol Yuan Dynasty? If he had succeeded, countless people would have died tragically."
"Yan Jing'an's actions are of immeasurable merit, no less than Fan Qinghui's persuasion of Tian Dao Song Que back then."
"I'm really curious, what kind of person is Yan Jing'an that he could make a devil like Pang Ban obey him?"
In the third private room on the fifteenth floor, on the side of Bei.
Wanwan exclaimed in surprise, "What? Pang Ban retired for thirty years just because of a single sentence from Yan Jing'an?"
Even someone as intelligent as her could hardly imagine what that scene would be like.
Thinking about how Fan Qinghui persuaded Song Que to leave, she finally understood something and said softly, "Now I understand a little why Master said that Cihang Jingzhai is the best at stealing men in the world."
Zhu Yuyan snorted coldly, seemingly unsurprised by it all.
What she really cared about wasn't what had just happened, but another crucial matter that Su Chen had mentioned.
Pang Ban has already mastered the "Demon Seed in the Dao Heart Technique"!
This is the supreme demonic art recorded in the tenth volume of "The Heavenly Demon Strategy"...
Zhu Yuyan's greatest wish in life was to collect all ten volumes of "The Heavenly Demon Strategy" and unify the two sects and six paths of the Demonic Sect.
The Dao Heart Seed Demon Technique of the Great Sui Dynasty was originally hidden in the Evil Extreme Sect.
However, as the Evil Extreme Sect fell apart, this unique skill disappeared without a trace.
Now that she has suddenly learned the whereabouts of "The Demon Seed of the Dao Heart", how could she not be excited?
Especially after hearing that Pang Ban had directly broken through to the realm of a terrestrial immortal using this skill, she became even more fascinated by this demonic art.
If I could obtain this technique, I might actually be able to accomplish the great task of unifying the demonic sects of the world.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuyan could no longer contain her excitement. She walked straight out of the private room and said loudly:
"Zhu Yuyan, the sect leader of the Yin Gui Sect of the Great Sui Dynasty, pays respects to the Celestial Mystery Immortal."
