"Danger! Pang Ban is an extremely dangerous character. If we don't deal with him soon, the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty will be in trouble."
"It's a real pity, Master Yan. No matter how meticulous the plan was, he didn't expect Pang Ban's will to be so firm. He can't be swayed by just any holy maiden from Cihang Jingzhai."
"Pang Ban has been plotting for thirty years. Even the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is his apprentice. I really don't know how much trouble he will cause if he makes a move."
Empress Zhu Yuyan was stunned after hearing Su Chen's analysis.
"The Demon Seed in the Heart of the Dao"!
The martial art she had always dreamed of was actually a legendary method of cultivating immortality.
The entire ten-volume "The Heavenly Demon Strategy" is actually a complete path of cultivating immortality.
For a master of the demonic sect like Zhu Yuyan, this news was too shocking.
After the initial shock, she felt a surge of excitement.
If I could master this "Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique", wouldn't I immediately become a top expert?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuyan couldn't wait to ask, "May I ask, Immortal Tianji, where is the 'Dao Xin Zhong Mo Technique' that is passed down in the martial arts world of my Great Sui Dynasty? Has it been lost?"
Su Chen smiled slightly: "This question has nothing to do with this month's evaluation, so I won't answer it. If the Empress is interested, she can bring the Heavenly Secret Token to ask."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuyan realized that she had been too hasty and quickly apologized.
As she stood up, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.
She absolutely must obtain this round of the Silver Heavenly Secret Token!
In the ninth private room on the east side of the fifteenth floor.
Song Yuanqiao said in surprise, "This demonic master Pang Ban was actually able to withstand the Holy Maiden Le Bingyun of Cihang Jingzhai, and even used her to cultivate the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique. If this person is not eliminated, he will definitely be a big problem in the future."
Yin Liting, Yu Lianzhou, and the others nodded, agreeing that the matter was indeed quite dangerous.
Back in the day, Pang Ban roamed the martial arts world with absolute lawlessness, trampling down major sects like Shaolin and Wudang under his feet.
At that time, Zhang Sanfeng was in seclusion, and he swept through the entire Wudang Mountain. No one could stop him.
From that time on, Song Yuanqiao and others were afraid of Pang Ban.
Chapter 109 Indeed
Now, after listening to Su Chen's analysis, they were reminded of the days when they were ruled by Pang Ban.
Zhang Sanfeng also showed a rare serious expression, stroking his beard and saying, "I did not expect Pang Ban to have reached such a level. However, there are many masters in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty. I am afraid that he, who is ranked seventh on the list of masters, cannot cause any great waves."
This statement served as a reminder to Song Yuanqiao and the others.
The martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty is not as weak as they imagine.
In fact, the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty is one of the strongest in the world today; even immortals on land might not be able to make it onto the list of the most powerful.
No matter how strong Pang Ban is, there is one thing that cannot be changed.
That means he only ranked seventh on the list of the most outstanding figures in the Ming Dynasty.
This means that there are at least six people in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty who are stronger than him.
The difference in strength between top experts may be negligible, but it can also be vast.
As long as any of these six people are willing to take action, Pang Ban's plan to overthrow the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty will fail.
Thinking of this, everyone immediately recovered from their despair and began to chat and laugh.
In the first private room on the east side of the fifteenth floor.
Fusu exclaimed with delight, "The Celestial Immortal was right after all. There really are people in the martial arts world of the various dynasties who cultivate immortality."
A month ago, after the Heavenly Secrets Monthly Review concluded, he spent a large sum of money to buy a golden Heavenly Secrets Token.
At the time, everyone in the martial arts world was speculating about what questions he would ask, and many people thought it was related to the ruins of Chi You.
that's the truth.
Fusu spared no effort to learn a great deal about the secrets of the Chiyou Ruins from Su Chen.
In order to seize this treasure, the Qin Dynasty's war machine was fully activated, and even the plans of the various schools of thought were temporarily shelved.
However, Ying Zheng did not give up his pursuit of immortality.
So after Fusu finished reporting his affairs, he was sent again to continue investigating the secrets of cultivating immortality.
Zhang Han pondered and said, "The 'Heavenly Demon Strategy' passed down by the Demon Emperor created a thousand-year prosperity for the two sects and six paths of the Demonic Sect. It is an unparalleled demonic skill, but this branch has not been circulated in the Jianghu of the Great Qin. If we want the complete 'Heavenly Demon Strategy' or 'Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique', we can only start from other Jianghu forces."
Fusu calmly said, "There's no rush. This monthly evaluation has only just begun, and there might be even better cultivation manuals appearing later. Even if we only get the 'Demon Seed Technique of the Dao Heart,' we can still gain the upper hand with the Imperial Preceptor's Yin-Yang Astrology."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Han, Zhao Gao, and the others nodded in agreement, then turned their gazes to Bai Yutai, awaiting Su Chen's next comments.
Su Chen gently waved his folding fan and got straight to the point:
"Next, let's comment on the next expert on the list."
"Ranked sixth on the list, the Sunflower Ancestor."
"This expert on the list is someone that most of you have probably never heard of."
"Because he was not a member of the martial arts world, but a eunuch in the Daming Palace, he always kept to himself and rarely went out. Even in the inner court, few people knew of his existence."
"The martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty all believes that Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, is an expert in the art of health preservation. He is now 110 years old and is the oldest person in the Ming Dynasty."
"But in fact, apart from the immortals, the longest-lived person in the Ming Dynasty was not Zhang Sanfeng, but this Sunflower Patriarch."
"He entered the palace at the age of six and is now 136 years old. He has served six emperors and is a true old-fashioned person."
"The emperors of the Ming Dynasty throughout history respected him greatly and regarded him as the strongest backer of the Ming Dynasty."
"The martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty all believes that the strongest person in the imperial court is Zhu Wushi, the Iron-Blooded Marquis of the Dragon Guard Manor."
"But in reality, this Sunflower Ancestor is the number one expert in the imperial court, and he has been secretly protecting the emperor's safety all along."
"That's why even a powerful demon master like Pang Ban, who was invincible in the martial world, dared not step into the Ming Dynasty palace."
"His internal energy cultivation has reached the late stage of the terrestrial immortal realm. He lives on air and dew and is almost an immortal."
"As for the martial arts he practices, everyone should have heard of them."
"It's the 'Sunflower Manual,' which is known as the number one evil martial art in the Ming Dynasty!"
An uproar erupted in the Ascension Pavilion, with everyone displaying expressions of disbelief.
No one expected that such a peerless master was hidden in the Ming Dynasty palace.
His strength surpasses that of Zhu Wushi, who is known as the number one expert of the Ming Dynasty royal family, and he has already entered the late stage of the Land Immortal Realm.
He is older than Zhang Sanfeng, who is known as the longest-lived martial arts master in the Ming Dynasty. He is now 136 years old.
He entered the palace at the age of six and has been there for 130 years, witnessing the passing of six emperors.
This is practically an ancient, powerful figure.
At the same time, Su Chen's comments also answered everyone's questions.
Pang Ban, an undercover agent of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, came to the Ming Dynasty with the purpose of instigating war so that the Mongol Yuan Dynasty could take advantage of the situation and invade.
What could plunge the Ming Dynasty into chaos more than killing the emperor?
Given Pang Ban's reckless and unruly nature back then, he could have easily stormed into the palace on his own.
Now everyone finally understands the reason.
Pang Ban dared not enter the Ming Dynasty palace, not because he did not want to, but because he dared not.
Because the Sunflower Ancestor was stationed in the Ming Dynasty palace, anyone who tried to assassinate him would die a terrible death.
What shocked everyone the most was Su Chen's last sentence.
The famous "Sunflower Manual" in the martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty was actually the masterpiece of the Sunflower Ancestor!
When people mention the Sunflower Patriarch, they are all confused, but if you mention the "Sunflower Manual," it is a well-known martial arts manual.
Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon Cult and the number one master of the demonic path in the Ming Dynasty's martial arts world, practices this "Sunflower Manual".
"When the sun rises, I am invincible!"
These eight characters perfectly capture Dongfang Bubai's domineering aura.
He truly deserves this title, having once single-handedly defended the summit of Blackwood Cliff and repelled the siege of eight righteous sects.
It is said that he had been practicing the Sunflower Manual for less than five years at that time!
Therefore, the Sunflower Manual became famous, and because of its unpredictable and mysterious nature, it was known as the most powerful evil martial art in the Ming Dynasty martial arts world.
Now that we suddenly hear that the creator of the "Sunflower Manual" is such a remarkable person, who wouldn't be surprised?
The people in the hall immediately started talking:
"What? The sixth-ranked person is a eunuch? And a eunuch who lived to be over 130 years old?"
"I'd heard that eunuchs lived long lives, and today I've seen it for myself. One hundred and thirty-six years old, almost a hundred years longer than an ordinary person. That's terrifying."
"Terrifying! If the Celestial Immortal hadn't mentioned it, who would have thought that there was such a terrifying expert hidden in the Ming Dynasty's palace, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of the Land Immortal realm?"
"I used to think that Pang Ban was so arrogant, daring to come and go freely in Shaolin and Wudang, because he didn't dare to enter the palace. It turns out he was afraid of this Sunflower Patriarch."
"I thought Zhu Wushi was the number one expert in the Ming Dynasty, but now it seems that the Sunflower Ancestor is the Ming Dynasty's true trump card!"
"This world is indeed much more terrifying than we imagined. The Prince of Beiliang's palace hides a terrestrial immortal, and the Ming Dynasty's imperial palace also hides a terrestrial immortal."
Chapter 110 is actually like this.
"This is why the forces of the martial arts world can't compete with the forces of the imperial court. The truly powerful forces are backed by top-notch experts, who are far superior to ordinary martial arts masters."
In the fifth private room on the west side of the fourteenth floor.
Duan Tianya, Shangguan Haitang, and the others exchanged glances, all seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
As the four secret agents of the Dragon Guard Manor, their most important task is to protect the safety of the imperial palace.
Therefore, they had the deepest understanding of the palace and frequently visited it.
But they knew nothing about this Sunflower Ancestor.
Only now do I realize that such a terrifying master was hidden deep within the palace.
