"In this generation, the Black Lotus Realm Sect Master Xuanfeng Huanzhi, the Moon Lotus Tower Master Yueyaotai, and the Mirror Flower Water Moon Pavilion Master Shalingshan have all cultivated their personal strength to the extreme of the fifth rank. If they want to enter the fourth rank, they must either be forced to practice external skills like their predecessors, or obtain the 'Secret Book'."
"However, changing to external skills is a very troublesome matter. You should understand the reason behind it."
Shi Hao said: "The Taoists practice alchemy, and the Demonic sects practice magic sources. If you want to practice external skills, you have to start from the ninth level, training your muscles, bones and skin externally, and your breath internally. Even if you spend a lot of time practicing to the fourth level, you will age and your body will be deformed after practicing external skills all the way. The effect may not be as good as the benefits they get from practicing their ultimate skills and striving for perfection at the fifth level."
Xu Xiaoyan said: "In fact, the leaders of these three sects are all outstanding figures. Each generation hopes that they can be selected by the 'Secret Book', but for some reason, the 'Secret Book' has never appeared."
Shi Hao said: "It's been three hundred years. Maybe the Secret Book has died in an accident a long time ago?"
Xu Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "As far as I know, if the 'Secret Book' is really dead, the mid-level masters of the Evil Lotus Sect have their own ways to find out. If such an accident really happens, they will naturally have to completely abandon the Evil Lotus Sect and seek another inheritance. But in fact, the 'Secret Book' must still be there, but for some reason, it just doesn't appear."
Shi Hao thought, could it be that the "Secret Book" knew that the Fire Charm Girl was not dead
According to the rules of the Demon Sect, as long as the Sect Master is not dead, the "Secret Book" cannot search for the next generation of successors on behalf of the Sect Master.
Xu Xiaoyan said: "But now the 'secret book' has appeared. The three sect leaders of Xuanfeng Huanzhi, Yueyaotai, and Shalingshan should have determined that the Jade Beauty is the 'secret book' of the Evil Lotus Sect. In other words, even if it is not the 'secret book', it must be related to the 'secret book'."
"The so-called alliance of the three sects is nothing but a joke. The three sects have been fighting for so long that it is difficult for them to convince each other even if they join forces. They just realized that if they continue to fight, everyone will be doomed, so they chose to compromise temporarily. Whoever can find the 'Secret Book' will have the opportunity to obtain the true inheritance and become the true leader of the Evil Lotus Sect."
"As for the merging of the three Night Charm Demonic Scriptures into one, it is indeed of great use to other disciples, but it is of little use to the three sect masters who are stuck at the fifth level and unable to continue to advance based on their foundation. The style of the Demon Sect is selfish, and the three sect masters may not care much about the fusion of the Demonic Scriptures."
Shi Hao raised his head and said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is! Why did the 'Secret Book' come to me first and now it's going to Yue Jiao?"
Xu Xiaoyan said: "I'm not sure either! I guess it has something to do with you being too weird."
She looked up at Shi Hao, "Your magic martial arts are clearly from the Evil Lotus Sect, yet they are in the Split Magic Code. If the Emerald Beauty is indeed the 'Secret Code', she may suspect that you have something to do with the missing Charm Emperor."
"But this is not inevitable. It is also possible that someone quietly left the Evil Lotus Sect before it split, leaving behind a secret inheritance. After all, what you practiced is still in the 'Ming Dian'. There is no secret teaching that only the sect master who has received the true teachings can learn and is only recorded in the 'Secret Dian'."
"But you are not only a man, but also have the Taoist heritage. I'm sure 'she' is also confused. As for why she is with Du Yuejiao now, I guess... she may want to choose Du Yuejiao as the next generation of Xie Lian Zhen Chuan."
Shi Hao was surprised and said: "But Yue Jiao practices the Taoist method..."
Xu Xiaoyan shook her head and said, "This is nothing for the 'Secret Book'. Although dual cultivation of Taoism and magic is impossible... Uh!" She glanced at Shi Hao.
He added: "It is impossible in theory... But she can destroy Du Yuejiao's foundation in Taoism. The Secret Book has its own means to help her build the foundation of the Demon Sect, directly enter the ninth grade or even the eighth or seventh grade, and then give her inheritance."
"Of course, this is to think positively, but to think negatively... who knows what 'she' really wants to do?"
Shi Hao groaned in silence...

After dark, Shi Hao returned to the Qionghuayuan Palace.
That night, I still slept in the same room with Yueyaer to protect her just in case.
In the morning, Shi Hao asked Yueyaer for help and went to Chongxianmen to see if Du Yuejiao had returned.
Shi Hao was still worried about Du Yuejiao.
He waited for a while at the foot of the mountain, and soon Yueyaer came down the mountain.
"The people from Chongxian Sect said that she didn't know where she went and she didn't come back last night!" Yueyaer crossed her arms and glanced at him. "What happened between you and her? Did she see you?"
Shi Hao looked up at the sky: "This..."
Yueyaer asked, "You weren't fooling around with that Xiaoyan and were seen by her, were you?"
Shi Hao lowered his head: "This..."
Yueyaer put her hands on her hips and shouted, "Are you really fooling around with that Xiaoyan?"
Shi Hao thought about it and felt that the scene at that time was indeed impossible not to make Du Yuejiao "think wrongly".
"Hmph, man!" Yueyaer said unhappily.
After the two left, a slender figure looked at them from the alley in the distance.
The man clenched his hands so tightly that he almost squeezed his palms to make them bleed.
Even them…even the two of them together.
How many girls are trying to seduce her senior brother
She was shaking with anger...
Chapter 102 Three Hundred Years of Waiting
The girl was running in the woods.
Her feet were on the soft grass, but her body was shaking constantly.
She threw herself on the stone, crying uncontrollably.
Dark clouds gathered in the distance, and with a rumbling sound, a heavy rain fell.
She raised her head and the rain wet her face. No one could tell whether it was rain or tears.
She was soaked all over and walked aimlessly in the rain.
The rain came quickly and heavily, and soon the whole world was filled with noise.
The sky was dim and pitch black, with occasional flashes of lightning and thunder. With a crackling sound, trees in the distance were broken by thunder, and flames rose up, but were quickly suppressed by the rain.
The muddy water rolled over her embroidered shoes and flowed down the hillside.
The girl came to an abandoned, dilapidated temple in the mountains. There were cobwebs on the broken paper-pasted windows, the ground was covered with dust, and the incense table was piled with incense ash that had been there for who knows how long. The incense ash was mixed with the dust that fell from the ceiling, forming black and white patches.
On the stone pedestal behind the case, the ghost judge, with his painted face covered in spots, held high his magic mace with a ferocious look on his face.
The girl huddled in a corner of the mountain temple, feeling drowsy.
She once again dreamed of her senior brother, who was fooling around with the female thief and Yueyaer, and they tried every way to seduce and seduce him.
She screamed and screamed, but he could not hear her. They laughed at her, and kept laughing at her.
She stumbled and tried to rush towards them, but they pushed her down into the mud again and again.
She lay in the mud, crying, she could no longer tell the difference between a dream and reality.
Faintly, there was a voice telling her that the reason her lover was taken away from her and the reason she was bullied by them was because she was too weak.
She raised her head, and the scene around her was shattered. Night fell, and the evil lotus blossomed.
Suddenly, she came to a gloomy and strange demonic palace—
The rain outside the temple continued, and the ghost inside the temple became more and more ferocious.
The rag doll with a wooden hairpin inserted horizontally in its bun stretched out its hands towards the girl curled up on the ground.
It flew above, its black gemstone eyes emitting a mysterious magical light, its two small palms were pointed at the girl, and black magical energy faintly flowed from its palms.
The girl slowly fell into a deeper sleep, and her rosy-cheeked, almond-shaped face was covered with a strange, cold gray light.
The rag doll flew gently out of the ruined temple, slowly landed under the eaves, and sat on a stone beside the door.
The moment it sat down, a cool green wind blew, and the stone became like a carved jade, clean and transparent, without a speck of dust.
She stretched out her calves, wearing embroidered shoes with white soles and pink surfaces, and folded her hands on her legs.
She looked at the raging storm outside, and her black eyes, which once emitted a strange and magical light, became dim and sad.
Owner…
Three hundred years... a full three hundred years.
During these three hundred years, her master never appeared again, and there was no news about her.
She waited for three hundred years, and during these three hundred years, she kept telling herself that such a powerful master could not just disappear without accomplishing anything.
She could never accept such an outcome. She firmly believed in her heart that her master was still alive.
But now, she had to make a choice... She had to find the next generation of disciples for her master and leave a legacy for the Evil Lotus Sect.
She doesn't have time anymore!
Even if I turn myself into this, even if I use all kinds of means to prolong my life.
She couldn't hold on any longer.
Those black eyes wept tears.
She raised her sleeves, trying to wipe away her tears, trying to make herself strong.
She told herself that she couldn't be so useless, she had to be strong and fulfill her responsibilities at the last moment of her life.
She couldn't let the inheritance of the Xie Lian Sect be cut off in her hands. She had to select the next generation of true disciples on behalf of her master... in her last moments.
Tears fell with a plop, they rolled onto the stones, condensed into jade beads, rolled down from the stones again, and melted on the wet ground where the rain poured down.
But she didn't believe it, she didn't want to believe it... She would never see her master again.
She couldn't accept the fact that her master was really dead.
The wind was strong and the rain was heavy. The rag doll curled up its legs in the constant pouring rain.
She hugged her legs with her two little hands and buried her head in tears. Her sobs were drowned out by the sound of wind and rain.
No one could hear her crying, even in these three hundred years... it never stopped!

It is impossible to say that Shi Hao is not worried about Du Yuejiao.
Although he used Du Yuejiao more when he was in Jin County, no matter how cruel he was, it was impossible for him to completely ignore the life or death of a girl who was kind to him.
And he also didn't know what the purpose of the Jade Beauty approaching Du Yuejiao was.
In his inner worry, he couldn't help but think of the worst.
The things of the Demon Sect are insidious and strange, and anything can happen.
Just like the rituals of the Demonic Sect, various kinds of sacrifices are required.
The Emerald Beauty used her as a sacrifice for some strange ritual, or perhaps she was just a part of a mysterious game... All of these are possible.
That day, it rained heavily in Daxing City.
Shi Hao stood on the mountainside, looking over the heavy rain at the blurry sky in the distance.
This was the first time he felt so upset.
The chaos in Daxing City became increasingly serious amid the storm.
Even the people in Daxing City felt this chaotic atmosphere.
First, news of the government army's defeat came from the distant Changbai Mountain.
Such news was undoubtedly shocking, so much so that countless forces in various provinces, inspired by this, broke out in rebellion.
Even around Daxing City, there were several small-scale anti-barbarian uprisings, although they were quickly suppressed.
However, the constant movement of troops still showed the tension in the Barbarian Court.
As a result, part of the Daxing City's military was withdrawn. With the demise of the Leopard Sect, the major gangs further cleaned up, and in the struggle for the Leopard Sect's territory, the major gangs also fought each other.
Among them, the fight between the Qingxiong Gang, the Xuande Sect and the White Sword Society was particularly fierce.
The leader of the Qingxiong Gang, Hu Qingxiong, is a ruthless person, and the "Five Tigers" under him are all mid-level masters. It is also rumored that the Qingxiong Gang's backer is the Zonghai family, one of the four great royal families.
Among the three gangs and six associations in Daxing City, the rise of the Qingxiong Gang was relatively short. It took almost ten years from its establishment to its establishment in Daxing City. The support of the Zonghai family behind its rise is self-evident.
The Xuande Sect and the White Sword Society have deep roots in Daxing City. Although they are not as powerful as the Qingxiong Gang, which has the support of the royal family, they are quite popular in Daxing City.
The Qingxiong Gang wanted to uproot the Xuande Sect and the Baijian Society and become the largest gang in Daxing City in one fell swoop. However, after a series of bloody battles, the Xuande Sect and the Baijian Society were still standing.
The life-and-death struggles between the big gangs inevitably led to chaos among the smaller gangs. For several consecutive days, every night, many ditches were blocked by corpses, and sewage mixed with blood flowed everywhere.
The importance of Daxing City determines that whoever can occupy Daxing City when the world is in chaos will be able to have a place in the chaos that sweeps the world.
When the Yang Dynasty collapsed, the Li Family of the Sheng Dynasty relied on occupying Daxing City to quickly rise to power and then swept across the world.
In addition, from the perspective of terrain, if they occupied Daxing City, they could easily capture Western Shu with a slightly stronger army. Whenever the country was in chaos and the Central Plains was trapped and defeated, Western Shu could always avoid war because of its special geographical location and thus become the granary of the rear.
Although today's Daxing City is indeed not as important as before due to climate change, it is still the "dragon's rising place" in everyone's mind.
Because of its uniqueness, the Qingxiong Gang's ambition to monopolize Daxing City is self-evident. As the backer of the Qingxiong Gang, it is hard to say whether the Zonghai family wants to stabilize the northwest for the court or has other purposes.
For several days in a row, everyone could feel the solemn atmosphere of Daxing City.
Even in the midst of such killing, more and more people from the underworld flocked to Daxing City, looking for an opportunity to stand out.
Either you live on the edge of a knife and become famous, or you become the blood that is licked on the edge of a knife.
However, the result was that the fierce fighting between the three gangs and six associations was in full swing, and the overall situation did not change much on the surface. However, the small gangs among the lower nine classes were replaced one after another in a very short period of time.
