Mantuo Manor.
Duan Zhengchun and his entourage had already fainted there.
He had intended to scheme against Ye Zhuo as well, but unexpectedly, Ye Zhuo made a long detour, traveling around the Central Plains for several more days.
Lady Wang of the Mantuo Manor couldn't wait any longer, so she drugged Duan Zhengchun and his men, and had them all arrested.
For this purpose, Duan Yanching was invited to participate.
Duan Yanching, now all alone, looked completely bewildered.
He wanted revenge, and he also wanted to reclaim the throne of the Dali lineage.
Unfortunately, the world is vast and seemingly insurmountable, and it doesn't seem to be giving him that opportunity.
"Li Qingluo, you poisonous woman, you poisonous woman!"
Duan Zhengchun launched into a tirade of curses.
Madam Wang, whose real name is Li Qingluo, is both the owner of the Mantuo Manor and Wang Yuyan's mother.
She was extremely jealous, and when she learned that Duan Zhengchun had reunited with several old friends, she became extremely jealous.
I intended to scare him, and then casually kill off a few of my competitors.
But little did he know that he had fallen into their trap.
Duan Yanching captured her as well, and they could only await their deaths together.
"I absolutely do not want you to die!"
Lady Wang wept, her face streaked with tears. Upon closer inspection, she bore an uncanny resemblance to Wang Yuyan, only slightly older, giving her a unique charm.
"You wretched cripple, even if I die, the entire Mantuo Manor will never forgive you!"
As Lady Wang lay dying...
A figure burst in.
It was Ye Zhuo.
At this moment, Duan Yu's mother, Dao Baifeng, and adoptive father, Duan Zhengchun, had just inflicted a fatal wound on him.
Duan Yanching glared at Ye Zhuo, unaware that his own base had been raided.
"You must not harm my child, in fact..."
According to the normal plot, Dao Baifeng should now be revealing Ye Zhuo's true background.
"Mother! Mother! What are you trying to say?"
Ye Zhuo shook Dao Baifeng's shoulders; already weak and with a fatal injury, she was in no condition to recount the whole story.
"Yu'er, if you keep swaying like this, your mother will die! Listen to what she has to say!"
Just as Duan Zhengchun was about to stop her, Dao Baifeng breathed her last.
"No, Duan Yanching, Li Qingluo, you deserve to die!"
Upon witnessing this scene, Duan Zhengchun immediately took his own life and went to see his wife.
"Duan Lang!"
Zhong Ling's mother, Gan Baobao, Mu Wanqing's mother, Qin Hongmian, and others also committed suicide.
In the end, only Li Qingluo was still alive.
She was in utter despair and wanted to end her own life.
"Mother!"
Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling are crying.
Wang Yuyan felt like dying.
What kind of situation is this?
She was completely unable to stop it and could only watch as it unfolded before her eyes.
"Not good!"
Ye Zhuo immediately delivered a chop to the neck.
I glanced at Li Qingluo; she looked almost identical to Wang Yuyan, even closer to the original template of "Fairy Sister."
He said earnestly, "I have a connection with you, so I will make an exception and accept another disciple!"
"Bah! Who would want to be a member of the Demon Cult Sect!"
Before Li Qingluo could finish speaking, Ye Zhuo.
The two of them were also hoisted onto Ye Zhuo's shoulders like sacks.
"You old bastard, you killed my whole family!"
Ye Zhuo looked at Duan Yanching, who was completely bewildered.
Why is things not as he expected?
Something feels off.
From the Ye Zhuo appeared and shouted to stop Dao Baifeng from finishing speaking, everything changed.
"Go to hell!"
Ye Zhuo's Six Meridian Divine Sword kills without a trace.
Duan Yanching is Duan Yu's biological father, but he is not Duan Yu's biological father.
A corpse fell to the ground with a thud.
[Bite!]
[Main Quest Chain Completed: Entering the Martial World, Part 4: Saying Goodbye to Xu Zhu, Heading to the Mantuo Manor to Kill Duan Yanching]
[Quest reward obtained: Purple Dawn Divine Skill (Perfect Version)]
After practicing the Purple Dawn Divine Skill for a short while, Ye Zhuo's face turned purple.
After exhaling a breath of true energy, he felt as if he had become stronger.
So many internal skills and unique techniques.
Anyone else would have gone mad long ago.
Fortunately, Ye Zhuo possessed Myriad Arts Immunity, including inner demons, so it was naturally ineffective.
Furthermore, those who are "Self-Taught Mastery" and possess profound martial arts skills are completely unaffected.
[Main Quest Chain Now Open: Entering the Martial World, Part 5: Returning to Dali, Ascending the Throne and Declaring the Demon Cult Sect the Number One Sect in the World]
[Quest Reward: Eternal Youth and Everlasting Spring Technique (Perfect Version)]
Um?
Ye Zhuo was capable of learning any martial art.
With the Nine Yang Scripture and the Heaven and Earth Great Shift, he can be considered the number one copy-paste master in the martial arts world.
But they forgot about the Eternal Youth and Everlasting Spring Technique.
It can allow people to rejuvenate periodically through cultivation.
Ye Zhuo definitely won't have the side effects of the Tianshan Child Elder.
Firstly, this technique is extremely yang and vigorous, which is unsuitable for the Tianshan Child Elder's physique, yet she insists on practicing it.
Secondly, he was ambushed by Li Qiushui just as he was about to complete his cultivation.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have ended in failure.
More importantly...
Others are unaware of the secrets of this technique.
Ye Zhuo knew this perfectly well.
The Eternal Youth and Everlasting Spring Skill originates from Everlasting Spring Valley in Dali.
The people there practice this technique for two reasons: first, to cultivate it, and second, to drink the spring water from the cave.
Therefore, one can Eternal Youth.
If one only has cultivation techniques but no spring water, one needs to drink blood; if one only has spring water but no cultivation techniques, one will age instantly after running out of spring water to drink, until one dies of old age.
Perfectly, Ye Zhuo possesses both qualities.
"Back to Dali!"
Three days later.
When news of the destruction of the Western Xia First-Rank Hall and the death of its emperor reached the Central Plains...
Ye Zhuo also packed up the properties of the Mantuo Manor and headed to Dali.
Seven more days have passed.
After the funeral, Ye Zhuo ascended the throne as emperor amidst the expectations of Duan Yu's uncle.
At the same time.
His uncle then retired and went to a temple to become a monk.
He had no children, which destined Duan Yu to be the monarch.
Emperor Ye Zhuo wasted no time, after restoring Wang Yuyan and Li Qingluo to their original states.
Within a month, he also drew up blueprints of all the raw materials and technological achievements available in this era, along with explanations, and passed them down to future generations.
Examples include early steam engines and looms.
The method is simple: the Shadowkhan will take action.
In order not to be mistaken for a Japanese pirate, they deliberately concealed their faces and began working day and night.
Once again, he became Ye Zhuo's tool.
Dali is experiencing a technological boom.
One month later.
Ye Zhuo declared the Demon Cult to be the number one sect in the world.
The world was shocked, believing that the Dali Duan Clan had fallen into demonic ways.
Only the people of Dali understood that they were about to take off!
Inside the imperial palace.
Ye Zhuo summoned Tatsumaki Fubuki, changing all their clothes except for the black stockings into ancient costumes of this era.
The Nine Shadow Generals donned new armor and served as tools to guard the frontier.
Large numbers of Shadowkhan replaced the original soldiers, allowing them to return to work.
[Bite!]
[Main quest chain completed: Entering the Jianghu, Part 5: Returning to Dali, Ascending the Throne and Declaring the Demon Cult the Number One Sect in the World]
[Quest reward obtained: Eternal Youth and Everlasting Spring Technique (Perfect Version)]
Upon acquiring the new technique, Ye Zhuo immediately deduced its subtleties.
I thought there would at least be side effects similar to those of the Tianshan Child Elder.
Unexpectedly, it was completely immune to the characteristics of being "Immortality" and "Myriad Arts Immunity".
Feeling refreshed, Ye Zhuo exhaled a breath of fresh air.
With his own extraordinary talent.
Ye Zhuo spent a day and a night modifying it into a cultivation method that women could practice.
However, we still need to go to Everlasting Spring Valley to find the spring.
After all, she didn't have Ye Zhuo's special physique.
[Main quest unlocked: Travel to the Khitan border in one month and stop Xiao Feng from committing suicide]
[Quest Reward: Dragon-Elephant Prajna Skill (Perfect Version)]
This technique is also a unique skill in terms of internal energy, but it excels in physical strength.
Ye Zhuo thought to himself that it was time to go and find the spring.
He stood up and looked around.
Mu Wanqing, Zhong Ling, Wang Yuyan, Li Qingluo have all mastered the Eternal Youth and Everlasting Spring Skill Technique.
Continuing in this direction will inevitably have limitations.
It's necessary to make that trip.
Three days later, in Everlasting Spring Valley, everyone sat cross-legged and drank the spring water, instantly looking refreshed!
Ye Zhuo simply stewed a pot of soup and drank it while waiting for them to finish their cultivation.
At that time, all disciples will be able to Longevity Dao.
