"Damn it! Why isn't this kid dead yet!? "
In a place that Wang Chong could not see, a black figure was running along the wall like a leopard. But a moment later, a burst of Stellar Energy appeared out of nowhere. The figure crashed into it and stopped.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
A majestic voice filled with disdain suddenly resounded in his ears. The black shadow was startled, and his eyes suddenly widened, revealing a look of fear.
"Ahhh!"
A moment later, a shrill scream pierced through the sky, and then came to an abrupt stop.
"This is …?"
In the rear courtyard, Wang Chong was just about to leave when he heard the scream and stopped.
Bang!
A moment later, a black figure landed heavily in front of Wang Chong. This figure was dressed in black and clearly belonged to the faction of the black-clothed men.
"How long has this been going on?"
A familiar voice, old and powerful, resounded in his ears. Wang Chong raised his head and saw a familiar figure standing on the high walls of the rear courtyard, dressed in a loose robe and with a head of long hair that danced in the wind.
"Master!"
Wang Chong called out in surprise. The figure on the high wall was none other than his master, the Evil Emperor.
Whoosh!
With a gust of wind, his master, the Evil Emperor, vanished from sight. When he reappeared, he was already several steps away from Wang Chong, and he was completely unruffled.
"It's already been four or five days!"
Wang Chong hesitated for a moment, but he knew that he could not hide it from his master's eyes.
"Why didn't you inform me that something this big had happened?"
The Evil Emperor said angrily. If Su Shixuan and the others had not told him, he probably would not have known.
Wang Chong smiled bitterly.
"Yes, your disciple knows his mistake."
The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art's flaw had been around for a long time, and even his master had not been able to resolve it. Wang Chong's original intention was to not worry his master, so he had kept it a secret. But now, it seemed like it had backfired.
"Buzz!"
With a straight face, the Evil Emperor took a step forward. His five fingers shot out from his sleeves at lightning speed like a snake and rested on Wang Chong's shoulder.
With just a touch of his finger, the Evil Emperor's expression changed. From what he could sense, it was as if there were three venomous beasts inside Wang Chong's body that were constantly nibbling away at his life force.
The Evil Emperor had thought that Wang Chong had only just acted up and the situation wasn't that serious. But from the looks of it now, that wasn't the case at all.
"How is this possible?"
The Evil Emperor muttered to himself, his expression turning solemn. It had only been four days since Wang Chong's Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art had flared up, but the severity of it was already comparable to the later stages of his illness. This was not a normal occurrence, and there were strong indications that it was man-made.
"The Scarlet Tail and Scorched Tail are two of the greatest taboos of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art. Those who aren't from our lineage would never know of them. How could anyone possibly know of the existence of these two acupoints! "
The Evil Emperor muttered to himself, his expression turning more and more solemn.
Those who cultivated the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art had two acupoints on their body that were insignificant to ordinary people, but to cultivators, they were a great taboo. This was especially so when the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art reached an extremely high level and began to reveal its flaws. If one were to touch these two acupoints, it could easily cause a clash of Stellar Energy, causing a severe disorder in the Stellar Energy and eventually leading to a cultivation deviation.
But these two acupoints were not easily touched, and ordinary people would never know of them.
"Who did you meet? Tell me everything from start to finish, no matter how big or small! "
The Evil Emperor said grimly.
Ever since Wang Chong had come into contact with the Evil Emperor, he had never seen his master so solemn. Wang Chong did not dare to tarry and immediately recounted everything that had happened.
"Impossible, this can't be possible!"
After hearing Wang Chong's story, the Evil Emperor was completely stunned, as if he had encountered a great mystery.
"Master, was it senior brother?"
Wang Chong asked. His master had more than one disciple. Wang Chong subconsciously thought of his senior brother who had betrayed his master. He was probably the only one who knew the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art like the back of his hand and had even told the black-clothed man about it.
"Impossible. Unless one has cultivated the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art to this level, there's no way he would know so much. More importantly, that traitorous disciple did not obtain the second half of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, or else he wouldn't have tried to kill me! "
The Evil Emperor said.
The Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art was his unique secret, and the entire pugilistic world knew of it. But it seemed like there was another group of people who had an equally deep understanding of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, and to a certain extent, their understanding was no less than his.
Wang Chong frowned and fell silent. Previously, he had been too busy suppressing the conflicting Stellar Energy in his body to think too deeply about it. But after hearing his master's words, Wang Chong realized that something was amiss. This black-clothed man organization was full of secrets. Even though Wang Chong had exchanged blows with them several times, he had still not been able to uncover their secrets.
More importantly, how did they know about the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art? Thinking back, when that black-clothed man had plotted against him, he had clearly known the circulation pattern of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art in his body, allowing him to successfully evade his attempts.
In an instant, Wang Chong's expression turned grim.
"Take a look at this black-clothed man. Is he the one who plotted against you?"
The Evil Emperor said.
Wang Chong stepped forward to take a look, then shook his head.
"No, he's probably just one of their lackeys."
Wang Chong had some understanding of these black-clothed men. They came from all sorts of organizations: Khitans, Xi, Mengshe Zhao, Ouzan, Arabs … they had all kinds of people. The boundaries between countries and races did not exist here. Moreover, these people were all suicide warriors. If they were captured, they would bite the poison in their teeth and commit suicide, making it impossible for them to leak any information.
This black-clothed man that his master had killed was just a lackey they had sent to test whether or not his cultivation had gone berserk.
"As expected. When I exchanged blows with him, I could sense that he was a little weak."
The Evil Emperor nodded. He had only casually asked this question, so this result was within his expectations.
"Master, how much longer until I reach that stage?"
Wang Chong asked.
"Scarlet Tail, Scorched Tail, Hui Long, Scarlet Scorpion … this is the order in which this art acts up. In normal circumstances, it should take at least three to five years from the first outbreak to the point where the art dissipates. You went from the Origin Energy Realm to the peak of the Saint Martial realm almost entirely by absorbing the energy of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art. You didn't consolidate your cultivation at all. A normal person like you would have already exploded and died, but whether it's because of your astonishing talent or your incredible luck, you didn't encounter any problems along the way and even reached the peak of the Saint Martial realm. You even defeated an Imperial Great General.
Not even I would have been able to do this. "The Evil Emperor sighed.
Wang Chong said nothing, but a light flashed through his eyes. He naturally knew what was going on. As a peak Saint Martial Great General, his understanding and control of energy far surpassed that of an ordinary person. There was no need for him to consolidate his cultivation.
"… But remember, starting from now, you can't act recklessly or use the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art, much less absorb the Stellar Energy of others."
The Evil Emperor stared at Wang Chong said, his expression extremely grave.
This art was the supreme art that had made him famous. He had immersed himself in it for more than forty years, and he could be considered the number one person who knew this art like the back of his hand. He also had a deep understanding of the late stages of the Great Yinyang Heaven Creation Art's outbreak. Once the Stellar Energies began to clash, the cultivator of this art would enter an irreversible state of dispersal. Every day would be spent in a state worse than death. The condition would only get worse and worse, more and more intense, until finally, the cultivator's cultivation would dissipate or even die.
The only reason he was able to keep his life after dispersing his cultivation was because of his deep understanding of this art. Anyone else would have died long ago.
"Your disciple understands!"
Knowing that this was no trivial matter, Wang Chong hurriedly solemnly said.
"Even if you didn't come to find me, I would have come to find you."
"Ah?!"
Wang Chong was taken aback, a look of surprise on his face.
"Disciple, your master already knows about your affairs in the capital. You know that your master has never interfered with your affairs in the court, and I don't want to have anything to do with them. But sometimes, as your master, I have to give you some advice."
Seeing Wang Chong's pale face, the Evil Emperor's heart ached. He had accepted many disciples in his life, but Wang Chong could be said to be his most favored disciple. He was young, driven, respectful, and had impeccable character and temperament. But on the other hand, this made the Evil Emperor's heart ache even more.
"You come from a clan of ministers and generals, and your heart belongs to the world. No matter how great the danger, as long as the world needs you, you will go, and you will not turn back. This is something that your master is proud of. But for the world, you have already done enough. Since they don't understand you, and even insult you, then you should let go. My disciple, the Evil Emperor, should not suffer such grievances. It's time for you to think about yourself. This matter is also an opportunity. "
The Evil Emperor paused, then took out something from his bosom and showed it to Wang Chong. He could vaguely make out that it was a tattered map.
