Chapter 55: The Sudden Change in Fist Emperor's Gate
"Mo Shi Pang Ben?" Yan Yun's face turned pale, and her pupils suddenly shrunk to an extreme.
Hong Qigong nodded, his expression quite solemn. "This time I don't know what he plans to do, but one thing is certain: that old fellow is definitely not a good sort, and every time he comes out, he brings with him a trail of blood and carnage."
Yan Yun's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said coldly: "What does that have to do with anything? What relation is it to the Fist Emperor Sect? He has also been traveling in the jianghu all these years, and my Fist Emperor Sect is still doing well?"
"I haven't finished speaking yet, what's the hurry? It's said that this time Pang Bao is released, it's different from before, and his strength has reached the extreme of this world. This means that this old guy might want to break through the void!" Hong Qigong said slowly and calmly, with a tone that was not fast, but gave people a very heavy pressure.
Yan Yun fell silent for a moment, then asked: "So you're saying that he plans to leave a way out for the Demon Master Palace and go find the Broken Void Technique? And as the Fist Emperor Gate is the martial alliance leader of Liao State, it has become his target to establish his dominance?"
Think about it, with just one's own power, annihilate the Wulin Alliance. Such a mighty and domineering demon king, who dares to challenge his authority? Even if he were to suddenly disappear, who would dare to make a move on the Demon Master's palace? Who else has the ability to make a move on the Demon Master's palace?
"It's impossible, Pong Ban is cold-blooded and ruthless, with a heart as hard as steel. Not only to others, but also to his own people. Even if it means going down in flames, the Demon Master Palace will be left to its own devices, if it prospers he'll be happy, but if it's truly destroyed he won't feel even a hint of sorrow. It's impossible, this reason just doesn't hold up!"
Yan Yun shook her head, this matter was simply inexplicable. What kind of person was Pang Ben? He would absolutely not go on a massive killing spree just to leave an escape route for the Demon Master's Palace.
Hong Qigong shook his head, "I used to think so too, but after some thought... how difficult it is to shatter the void, for thousands of years since ancient times, how many such figures have emerged? Even if it were hundreds of years ago, whether Feng Shen and Bu Ku Si Shen ultimately shattered the void or not is hard to verify. To want to shatter this piece of heaven and earth's spatial restriction, what kind of terrifying power would that require? I think that person is trapped in this realm, so he wants to force some people out to fight him, to find some inspiration from it!"
"Your meaning is to destroy the Fist Emperor's Gate and then attract the attention of the Heavenly Union? And also, there's still the Musou Sect and that Lingyin Palace..." Yan Yun thought for a moment, and suddenly her thoughts became clear.
Wu Ming was shocked in his heart. The Quan Huang Men inheritance came from the Wu Shen Jue Gong, and the Wu Shen Jue Gong had a grudge against the Tian Xia Hui. The Wu Shuang Pai also had a grudge against the Tian Xia Hui, and the Ling Xiang Gong was on the side of the Tian Xia Hui, so it would naturally be wary of the Tian Xia Hui. If the Tian Xia Hui were to make a move, the Ling Xiang Gong would inevitably not be able to remain silent as before. Furthermore, the Quan Huang Men was now the publicly recognized leader of the Wulin Alliance, although its strength was not strong, it still made those hidden world powers pay some attention.
Why not go straight to their doorstep?
Wu Ming also thought it through, those sects that had been sealed off for hundreds of years, now it's not easy to find them. And even if they could be found, with Pang Ben's overbearing nature, he wouldn't be afraid of anything like formations or having more people on his side. But precisely these things would affect his plans. If he really wanted to find an extraordinary expert to fight and thereby find the Broken Void Technique, then getting caught up in formations and battles with many people would clearly lose its original intention. And the consequences would also be extremely severe, his strength was strong enough that he wasn't afraid, but what if he really broke through the void and ascended?
Although he was ruthless and unfeeling, after all, the Demon Master's Palace was built by his own hands over a hundred years ago. Emotions would still be there, no matter what. It could also be said that he left a way out for the Demon Master's Palace. After all, the Fist Emperor's Gate didn't mean anything to him; if it were destroyed, then so be it.
Hong Qigong pondered for a moment, then said: "According to the news passed down from my Beggar Clan, he is indeed heading towards Yan Zhou. If my inference is correct, the truth is just as you thought! This time, Demon Master Pang Ban has come out, and it's likely that he's targeting your Fist Emperor Gate!"
"What, how is this possible? How can it be like this? My Fist Emperor's Gate and the Devil Palace have nothing to do with each other...... It's impossible, how can it be like this?" Yan Yun's eyes were somewhat dazed, if it was really like that, then it would be a complete disaster.
"Boom..."
Just then, a loud noise came from outside, like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking, Wu Ming, who was standing in the stone room, felt his whole body tremble, and the ground began to shake continuously.
"What's going on? Is this an earthquake?" The whole tunnel seemed to be shaking and about to collapse, just like an earthquake. Could it be that bad luck had caught up with him?
"No good, he must have arrived!"
Yan Yun let out a loud cry and opened the giant stone that was pressed down, her whole body had transformed into a flash of light and completely disappeared into the secret passage.
"It's no wonder he's known as the greatest demon of all time! His strength is incredible! Younger brother, let's go up too!" Hong Qigong's face turned extremely gloomy, clearly having suffered a significant blow.
"Wu Ming stuttered and asked: "Old brother, are you saying that this earth-shaking event was actually caused by human effort? No, it can't be, right?"
Having seen the snake-necked dragon's ability to capsize the sea, it was not surprising for Wu Ming. Such a large demon beast could stir up such a big wave, and it was not strange at all. Besides, water and mountains are different, mountains have shapes, ordinary people can't move them at all.
A mountain range with peaks over a thousand meters high, stretching underground for thousands of kilometers, how could it possibly be something that human power can shake? But judging from Hong Qigong's tone, it was obviously the doing of that demonic master, Peng Wan.
"Hmm, it's him. I didn't expect his strength to be so powerful! Even though he's at least a dozen miles away from us, I can still feel the terror of his magical aura. Tsk tsk, even our Beggar Gang leader, Qiao Feng, doesn't have such immense power. This person is probably already invincible in this world!"
Hong Qigong sighed and quickened his pace.
"This person is actually terrifying to such an extent?"
Although Wu Ming's current strength is too low, and he can't feel that overwhelming momentum yet, just listening to Hong Qigong's words makes it clear how incredibly powerful this number one demon of all time is! Being able to make Hong Qigong think he's no match for him, it seems he has already surpassed the range of what he knows. No wonder three years later he had the strength to break through the air and leave!
As soon as Wu Ming came out of the cave, he felt a hard-to-describe aura that seemed to press down on him so much that it was difficult for him to move. Everything in sight was chaotic, especially the trial peak not far away, where a large area of blood red could be seen with the naked eye, dyeing the entire mountain head red.
How many people have to die?! The four words "carnage and bloodshed" used to describe the evil sorcerer Pong Ben, it seems that they are indeed not wrong at all.
Suddenly, Wu Ming's heart moved, could it be that he hadn't heard of the Fist Emperor Gate later on because of this time? Pang Ben took action to destroy the Fist Emperor Gate, and naturally there wouldn't be any appearance of the Fist Emperor Gate afterwards, right?
"Boom..."
The Trial Peak over a thousand meters high suddenly collapsed with a loud crash, and several figures flew out of it in disarray.
"Huh? How did this person end up here? Could it be that......" Hong Qigong turned his head to take a look at Wu Ming standing beside him.
