Mad Dragon of Evil Slaying

"Yes, it's for exterminating demons, but also to revitalize the imperial court and return the empire to the peaceful and prosperous era of the Martial Immortal Great Emperor, so that the world will be peaceful, everyone will live and work in peace and contentment, and life will be prosperous and beautiful!"

Nangong Ru, who was usually cold, now had a face full of longing, even fanaticism. But she immediately said hatefully, "Unfortunately, those sects and families secretly sabotaged us. Now a large part of the Demon Extermination Alliance is controlled by them."

"Ah?"

Zhang Yunhao was stunned. He didn't know about these things. It seemed that the situation of the Demon Extermination Alliance was very complicated. However, he also vaguely understood why Nangong Ru mentioned these things.

Nangong Ru's expression turned cold again. She continued, "Now the Demon Extermination Alliance is divided into three factions. One faction hopes to revitalize the imperial court and save the world. Another faction represents the interests of the major sects. As for the last faction, it is the moderate faction."

"You are the faction that wants to save the world, oh, and so am I."

Zhang Yunhao said with a smile, then thought of something and shook his head. He was brought in by Nangong Ru, and he had fallen out with the Zhang Family, so there was no need to say which side he belonged to.

Nangong Ru nodded, her gaze as sharp as an eagle's as she looked at Zhang Yunhao, "Of course you are. Then are you willing to save the world with me?"

"I really don't like this chaotic world. If possible, I also hope for world peace."

Zhang Yunhao said without hesitation, his face serious. Nangong Ru saw that Zhang Yunhao was not lying, and her gaze softened. She said, "As expected, you and I are like-minded people. From now on, we are our own people, and we will work together for the peace of all living beings in the world!"

Zhang Yunhao smiled slightly but said nothing. In fact, the previous statement was half true and half false. He did hope for world peace, but he wouldn't fight for it.

Moreover, Zhang Yunhao was not optimistic about the current imperial court at all. This Martial Immortal world was different from Zhang Yunhao's original world. This was a world where power belonged to oneself, and everything was decided by force!

Now, there were no Martial Immortals in the Martial Immortal world, only Martial Saints. Forces that possessed Martial Saints were called Holy Lands, and they were the top forces!

In the Martial Immortal Empire, there were a total of twenty-six Holy Lands, and the royal family was one of them, which was why they could last until now. The problem was that there were many other Holy Lands, and they would definitely not be willing to be controlled as they were before!

"The only way to save the world is for someone to break through to become a Martial Immortal and suppress the world. However, no Martial Immortal has appeared for thousands of years, and the Immortal Martial arts are not complete yet. Hmm, speaking of which, it seems I am the most likely person to save the world?"

Zhang Yunhao's heart suddenly moved. He had Immortal Martial arts and a system. Compared to others, his chance of becoming a Martial Immortal was obviously much greater. Once he became a Martial Immortal, saving the world would be very simple.

If he really became a Martial Immortal, Zhang Yunhao would be willing to save the world, as it wouldn't be difficult. However, he would not become a Martial Immortal for the sake of saving the world; that was different.

Zhang Yunhao never thought of being a hero. He was willing to help people when he had the ability, but he was absolutely unwilling to sacrifice himself to help others!

Nangong Ru obviously didn't know that Zhang Yunhao had thought so much in this instant. She said very decisively, "I will explain the rules and benefits of the Demon Extermination Alliance, as well as the situation of our faction, to you in detail later. Now, let's talk about something else. Have you heard of the Mad Dragon of Evil Slaying?"

"Of course I've heard of him. He's a Grandmaster, famous throughout the world. He once charged into the Mad Lion Gang, which had tens of thousands of people, alone with his saber to save people. He killed the nine-headed Mad Lion Shi Fan with one saber. He's truly a great hero!"

Zhang Yunhao nodded upon hearing this. Although he had been in the Zhang Family, he paid close attention to collecting information and was not ignorant. He knew about the more famous events in the martial arts world.

Thinking of something, Zhang Yunhao said in surprise, "I remember the Mad Dragon of Evil Slaying is also surnamed Nangong. Is he from your noble family? Does he also practice the Evil Slaying Saber Technique?"

"Yes, he is my third uncle."

Nangong Ru nodded proudly, then got straight to the point without any nonsense, "Besides cultivating the Evil Slaying Saber Technique, my third uncle also cultivates a technique called the Great Strength Dragon Elephant Art. He has always wanted to find a successor, and I was entrusted with this task when I came to Luoyun Prefecture. I think you are suitable."

"Ah? Are you sure you're not joking?"

Zhang Yunhao was extremely surprised. This was too exaggerated. It wasn't just like dropping pie from the sky; it was like dropping diamonds!

That was a Grandmaster. The sect leader of the Heavenly Fist Sect was only a Grandmaster. To be able to become a disciple of a Grandmaster was something most martial artists would not even dare to dream of!

Of course, Zhang Yunhao had Immortal Martial arts and a system. Although he found it incredible, he didn't tremble with excitement, which made Nangong Ru think highly of him. This kid had excellent character.

Nangong Ru said, "You must have put a lot of effort into body tempering. I can see that your combat style is mainly based on your physique, and your application of True Qi is still very rough, not yet reaching the level where intent leads Qi."

"It's jumping again?"

Zhang Yunhao's mouth twitched. He said, "I know, this requires a lot of practice, but I don't have time."

"My third uncle's Great Strength Dragon Elephant Art is actually a martial art that mainly cultivates the body, using True Qi to open up the spiritual acupoints on the body and continuously strengthen the physique."

Nangong Ru brought the topic back, "Therefore, the disciple he is looking for must be proficient in body tempering. However, most people are in a hurry to break through and then cultivate True Qi. It is rare to find someone like you with superb attainments in body tempering."

Nangong Ru continued, "In addition, your intelligence and courage both meet my third uncle's requirements, and you are one of us. Therefore, I have decided to accept you as a registered disciple on behalf of my third uncle and teach you the Great Strength Dragon Elephant Art. Since you have achieved success in body tempering, don't waste this advantage!"

"Really? Thank you, Captain Nangong!"

Zhang Yunhao's eyes widened, and he bowed with great joy. Having a Grandmaster as a master, even if it was just a registered disciple, was something countless people dreamed of. If this got out, who knew how many people would be driven mad with jealousy!

"Don't celebrate too early!"

Nangong Ru waved her hand and said, "You have only been recognized by me now. My third uncle has not agreed yet, so you cannot disclose this matter to the outside world. Moreover, you must complete two goals before you can become a formal registered disciple. If you fail, everything will be revoked."

Zhang Yunhao was not disappointed; instead, he breathed a sigh of relief. If it were that easy, he would have to worry about the other party's intentions. "What are the two goals?"

Nangong Ru said, "My third uncle only gave me the first three levels of the Great Strength Dragon Elephant Art, which are techniques before the Xiantian realm. I want to see your progress to confirm whether you are suitable for cultivating this martial art. My third uncle is looking for a successor!"

Zhang Yunhao said with great confidence, "No problem, I am a genius!"

Nangong Ru was stunned. She had never seen someone openly call themselves a genius before. Shouldn't they be humble at a time like this?

However, Nangong Ru didn't care. Whether it was a horse or a donkey, they would know soon. She continued, "You should have heard of the Luoyun Prefecture Rookie Competition, right?"

As expected, it jumped again. Zhang Yunhao nodded and said, "I've heard of it. Is the other goal related to the Rookie Competition?"
