Chapter 4: The Devil's Plan

  Now that I have the idea of visiting Master Bai to wish Yu Yan a happy birthday, I still need to tell Wang Mang about it.

  As expected by Wang Yu, Wang Mang did not oppose the suggestion of Zhu Yuyan wanting to take Wang Yu as an apprentice, but instead agreed readily. In the future, Wang Yu can follow Zhu Yuyan outside to practice martial arts and come to the palace a few times a year to report peace.

  Wang Yu had no opinion on this. Originally, staying in the palace was boring anyway, it's better to go to the Yin Gui faction to tease and flirt with beautiful women. As for worrying about the prince's position being insecure, don't be ridiculous, if nothing unexpected happens, Wang Mang will get rid of all his sons, and he can hide outside and avoid disaster. Moreover, with the Yin Gui faction as a backing, his identity as the crown prince is even more secure. In this world of martial arts where top-notch experts are everywhere, being a top expert is enough to pose a threat to the emperor. Since Zhu Yu Xian has chosen Wang Yu, she will definitely not allow other princes to ascend to the throne of the new dynasty.

  So Wang Yu is not worried about this at all. Now you can start looking forward to a better life in the yin and yang sect.

  ……

  In an unknown mountain valley.

  The four seasons are like spring, and a hundred flowers bloom together. Wang Yu really didn't expect that Zhu Yuyan would lead him to this place.

  Zhu Yu Yan hugged Wang Yu and said, "This is a valley that Master discovered when he was traveling the world in his younger years. Because of its breathtaking scenery, Master would often come here alone to calm down whenever he felt anxious. Up until now, you are only the second person to have ever been here. Master will train you for a while and take a break at the same time."

  Looking at the clusters of blooming flowers in the valley, competing with each other for beauty, and a pair of butterflies dancing among the flowers, the sky is as blue as washing, beautiful like a fairyland. Wang Yu really couldn't imagine that Zhu Yuyan, a notorious female devil, would choose to live in such a place.

  Indeed, does everyone have a sacred place in their heart? Even the most ruthless and cruel person will have a pure land deep down that cannot be desecrated. Not every person is born to become a demon, it's just that this world is too cruel, driving too many people mad.

  When Zhu Yuanyan first started out, wasn't she also a simple and innocent little girl? Unfortunately, she met the wrong person and was deceived by Shi Zhiyuan, losing both her body and heart. Even her master, whom she regarded as her mother, was driven to death by anger. It was probably from then on that the simple Zhu Yuanyan who pursued love disappeared, replaced by a notorious queen of darkness known throughout the land.

  Alas, poor beautiful master. Let me come and rescue you instead.

  "Xiao Yu, let me introduce you to the history of our Holy Gate first." Zhu Yuyan stroked Wang Yu's head and said softly.

  "Alright, master." Although he said that, Wang Yu had no interest in it whatsoever. He already knew about the origins of the Demon Gate, which was nothing compared to the temptation brought by Zhu Yu Xian's soft and delicate hands. So Wang Yu continued to rub against her.

  "Hehe, stop messing around, Yu'er, Master is itching. Listen carefully, these are things you must know." Zhu Yuyan said.

  Wang Yu's mind was mostly on the beautiful master, but he still spared some energy to listen to Zhu Yuyan's introduction.

  As it turns out, Zhu Yuanyan said a lot of things that Wang Yu didn't know about before.

  For example, Wang Yu knew that the Demon Gate was divided into two factions and six sects, but he couldn't even say the names of these two factions and six sects. Because many schools are just purely decorative, with only a few extras. It wasn't until now that Wang Yu learned that the two factions of the Demon Gate referred to the Huajian Faction and the Yincui Faction, while the six sects referred to the Shengji Sect (also known as the Tianxie Dao), the Mieqing Dao, the Zhenchuan Dao, the Butian Ge, the Tianlian Sect, and the Mosang Sect.

  "If our Holy Gate could unite as one, why would we be oppressed by the Cihang Jingzhu to the point of being unable to lift our heads?" Yu Xuan's words were filled with deep helplessness and unwillingness.

  Wang Yu also had no good impression of Ci Hang Jing Zhai. In his previous life, Wang Yu thought that Ci Hang Jing Zhai was just a group of political prostitutes, only at the level of a high-class courtesan, but with Oscar-level acting skills. In fact, in the eyes of martial arts enthusiasts in later generations, Ci Hang Jing Zhai's reputation was not even comparable to that of the Yin Kui Sect. Moreover, in this life, Ci Hang Jing Zhai still chose to support Li Tang. With different stances, it was natural for Wang Yu to have no good impression of Ci Hang Jing Zhai.

  Wang Yu said at this time: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely help Master revive the Holy Gate."

  Zhu Yu Yan gently stroked Wang Yu's head and said, "Yu Er, you have a rare bone structure, a martial arts prodigy among millions. You must work hard in the future."

  Wang Yu nodded and said: "Don't worry, Master. I will work hard to practice my skills and protect you in the future."

  Alas, at present, I'm too young, so winning her heart is an impossible task. All I can do is work hard to be cute and lay the foundation for a future master-disciple romance. In order to prevent Yu Xian from falling like in the original story of Da Tang, I must try my best to save her. Alas, I'm really a good person. Wang Yu shamelessly monologues.

  Zhu Yuanyan said, "Yu'er, today I will pass on to you the 'Tianmo Ce'. The 'Tianmo Ce' is the supreme and unparalleled technique of our Holy Gate, divided into ten volumes. Currently, only six volumes are available in the Yin Gu pai, but after mastering it, it will be enough for you to dominate the world."

  It was not unexpected for Wang Yu that Zhu Yuyan would learn the "Tian Mo Ce". After all, the "Tian Mo Ce" is the highest martial art of the Demon Gate, and even the later generation's Pan Buren relied on the fragmented void's supreme treasure "Dao Xin Zhong Mo Da Fa", which was only one volume out of the ten volumes of the "Tian Mo Ce". Its powerful degree can be seen at a glance.

  However, there is one problem - the Yin Yu Sect is a sect dominated by women, and most of the martial arts within the sect are suitable for women to practice. Although both men and women can practice "Tian Mo Ce", the results of their practice will be different. Currently, only Zhu Yu Xuan, the leader of the Yin Yu Sect, has practiced "Tian Mo Ce". Therefore, when Wang Yu practices "Tian Mo Ce", there is no precedent to follow, everything depends on himself, and Zhu Yu Xuan can at most use her own martial arts experience to give him some advice.

  Fortunately, Wang Yu was not too worried about this situation. Wang Yu knew that in the future, "Blood Hand" Li Gong would become the master of the Yin Gui sect with a male body, and his Tian Mo skill would be unmatched in the world, earning him the title of "First Person of the Central Plains Magic Gate". Later, he even closed himself in the "Ten Absolute Pass" to break through the void.

  With this example, Wang Yu was not worried about the consequences of practicing "Tian Mo Ce" as a man. Moreover, he wasn't even using "Tian Mo Ce" as his main cultivation method.

  Yes, Wang Yu didn't plan to take "Tian Mo Ce" as his main cultivation method. Jokingly, with the "Huang Di Nei Jing" in hand, why bother with other cultivation methods? Practicing and upgrading through combat is the true way. As for other divine skills and precious manuals, they are all just fleeting clouds.

  We pursue different things. Others are pursuing the way of martial arts, breaking through the void. We are pursuing having three thousand beauties at our command, ascending to heaven in broad daylight.
