In the center of the main hall, there were several pools of blood, and a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.
"Alright, alright, you nuns and women, all of you, get out of here. Hmm, this is none of your business. Don't worry, I'm not going to destroy the foundation of your Emei Sect, nor will I kill anyone else. Just behave yourself. Get out of here, get out of here," the nonchalant man said disdainfully.
The Emei disciples couldn't help but glare angrily, wishing they could rush up and gang up on that man immediately.
Master Miaojue gritted her teeth and said, "Alright, everyone, leave."
"Sect Leader!" In the main hall, the Emei Sect women, both nuns and laywomen, finally roared in anger and resentment.
"Retreat!" Abbess Miaojue roared in a deep voice, giving an unquestionable command, "We retreat!"
Immediately, Abbess Miaojue set an example by walking out of the hall. The hundreds of Emei female disciples in the hall had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow Abbess Miaojue out of the hall.
After the female disciples of the Emei Sect left, the nonchalant man pulled a cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number...
"Junior Brother Haoyu, haha, I've done what you asked me to do. I've intimidated the Emei Sect. Haha."
On the other end of the phone came Feng Haoyu's voice. "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Xiaodao! Actually, it was quite a coincidence. I heard that Senior Brother Xiaodao was traveling around Mount Emei, so I troubled Senior Brother Xiaodao to handle this matter."
"Hmm, it's nothing, nothing at all. We're both disciples of the Holy Land, it's only right that we support each other. Dealing with these low-level internal martial arts sects is a piece of cake. As soon as I entered the Great Buddha Hall, I swiftly killed three nuns on the spot. I also revealed some information about the Holy Land to the Emei Sect Leader, and she obediently submitted." The nonchalant man said casually. When he talked about killing three Emei nuns, he did it completely lightly, as if he had swatted three flies.
"Brother Xiaodao is indeed skilled!" Feng Haoyu praised on the other end of the phone.
"By the way, Junior Brother Haoyu, you said that a master of fast swordsmanship has appeared in D City. As you know, I practice fast swordsmanship. I just graduated from my sect and I really want to find some masters of internal martial arts who use swordsmanship to spar with. How about I come to D City right away?" The "Little Knife" had a burning light in his eyes, eager to try.
"Uh... Senior Brother Xiaodao, there's no need to rush if you want to test your sword on the murderer. Besides, the murderer is elusive, and we don't have his whereabouts yet. No rush, no rush. Senior Brother Xiaodao, I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on the Emei Sect for me, preventing them from sending anyone to D City to pick up those bitches like Nie Xiaoxia. Also, Senior Brother Xiaodao, you can have Abbess Miaojue inquire about Nie Xiaoxia and the others' whereabouts. If you can find out where they are hiding, or who they are with, that would be great. But even if we can't get any leads from Abbess Miaojue and the others, it doesn't matter. Anyway, with D City here, those Emei Sect bitches will definitely not escape!"
"Yes, I understand. This afternoon I forced Master Miaojue to call her disciple 'Li Yun,' but I didn't get anything out of her. I'm afraid 'Li Yun' is already on guard. But one useful piece of information I did get is... Li Yun and her seven disciples are still staying in D City."
"Okay, Senior Brother Xiaodao, I'll have to trouble you this time. I'll let you know if I need you to come to D City to help me."
…… …… ……
Outside the main hall.
"Sect Leader, are we just going to let that madman slaughter our Emei Sect disciples at will? Are we just going to let him bully and plunder us?"
After leaving the main hall, a group of Emei disciples surrounded Abbess Miaojue, growling resentfully.
"Alright! Quiet! Disciples, you all just saw it. That man's swordsmanship was so fast that we couldn't possibly withstand it," Master Miaojue said solemnly. "Have you considered that this man is at most in his thirties? Even if he started practicing martial arts from the womb, he couldn't possibly surpass my achievements! But the fact is, if I were to fight him, I would definitely lose! Have you considered this illogical situation?"
This question stumped all the disciples of the Emei Sect.
Yes, Master Miaojue is the head of the Emei Sect and a prominent figure in the Chinese martial arts circle. Yet, she can't even beat a man in his early thirties. Why is that?
"I can tell you, that man came from an extremely mysterious place." Master Miaojue's eyes were filled with reverence and awe. "I heard these things from my master. Now, I will tell you..."
Chapter 304 Holy Land
Chapter 304 Holy Land
The people of the Emei Sect are very frustrated!
A young but extremely ferocious demon broke into the main hall of the temple and, without a word, instantly killed three nuns from the Emei Sect! He completely dominated the Emei Sect!
Outside the main hall.
A group of Emei Sect disciples surrounded their leader, Abbess Miaojue, and were in a heated argument, demanding an explanation.
That's right. They've already been so humiliated, with people killing them at will, and not only do they not dare to resist, they're even helping the enemy against Li Yun and her group. This is simply unacceptable!
Master Miaojue sighed, her eyes filled with an extremely complex expression.
Startled, amazed, surprised, and deeply fearful.
Master Miaojue sighed gently. "Now, I will tell you. Our internal martial arts circle is vastly different from the secular world; you could say we are a unique circle. People in the secular world, unless they come into contact with us, will never know the mystery of our circle, nor the various supernatural abilities unimaginable to ordinary people. Of course, people in the secular world also cannot come into contact with our circle. Our circle inherits the essence of thousands of years of Chinese culture! But how much have we inherited? In reality, only a drop in the ocean! Ancient masters of internal martial arts could leap across rooftops and scale walls, taking the head of a general from among thousands of enemy soldiers as easily as taking something from a bag! Can we do that now?"
The topic was shifted away from the humiliation. The Emei disciples' attention was now focused on what Abbess Miaojue had said. They all instinctively shook their heads, saying, "We...can't do it..."
Ancient knights-errant truly possessed extraordinary abilities. Although these contemporary disciples of the Emei Sect are skilled in internal martial arts and consider themselves superior to ordinary people in the secular world, they are also aware of their own limitations and dare not compare themselves to the knights-errant of ancient times.
"Do you know why, despite the same internal martial arts cultivation manuals being passed down, we are getting worse with each generation and unable to achieve the accomplishments of our predecessors?" Master Miaojue asked rhetorically.
The disciples remained silent.
At this moment, a laywoman spoke up, "Sect Leader, is it because the martial arts manuals of our various internal martial arts schools have been passed down through the ages, and the advanced manuals have been lost?"
That makes a lot of sense.
Over thousands of years, perhaps most of the truly powerful martial arts manuals have already been lost!
Unexpectedly, Master Miaojue shook her head. "That's not entirely the reason. You're right, year after year, with the passage of time, the martial arts manuals, scriptures, Taoist annotated texts, and alchemy secrets of our ancient martial arts sects have indeed been lost. However, this is only relative to some small and medium-sized sects; their losses are much greater than those of us from the major sects. Sects like Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, and Kunlun, which have stood for thousands of years, have experienced relatively small losses of their martial arts manuals; many advanced martial arts texts are still intact. But… we cannot learn those advanced martial arts, and even if we manage to learn them, we can't unleash much of their power! Why is that? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth! In ancient times, it wasn't just…" Famous mountains and rivers possess abundant spiritual energy, even on land. But in modern society? With the rapid development of technology, this spiritual energy has become extremely thin—almost completely lost! It's crucial for martial artists to absorb this spiritual energy. In this environment corrupted by technology and modern industry, we cannot absorb it, so how can we cultivate advanced martial arts? Take the Shaolin School, for example. The mental formulas, techniques, and diagrams of the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts have been preserved intact to this day. However, how many contemporary Shaolin monks truly master the power and intensity of these seventy-two arts? Spiritual energy is of paramount importance to practitioners of internal martial arts!
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
This is the real reason why practitioners of internal martial arts in today's society cannot be compared with the knights-errant of ancient times!
Master Miaojue changed the subject, saying, "However, in this world, there is a mysterious force that knows how to refine elixirs! They know how to extract essence from rare plants—plants that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, or those that secrete energy hormones similar to it—and refine them into elixirs! Martial artists who consume these elixirs cultivate pure internal energy, and their cultivation speed is several times faster than ours. Only by cultivating advanced martial arts manuals can they unleash their full power! This force lives in seclusion in a little-known place in this world. Every few years, they carefully select children and bring them to their secluded place to cultivate them with elixirs and teach them advanced martial arts! This mysterious place is called…the Holy Land!"
"Holy Land?"
The disciples of the Emei Sect were all filled with longing and admiration.
"The person who just broke into the Great Buddha Hall and indiscriminately killed our Emei disciples is from the Holy Land! Otherwise, he could not have achieved more in martial arts than I, an old man who has practiced Emei martial arts for eighty years, at the age of thirty!" Master Miaojue said through gritted teeth. "We have no power to provoke the people of the Holy Land... We can only obey their orders."
Master Miaojue gave a bitter smile.
"Sect Leader, does this mean... we have to help them deal with Senior Sister Li Yun, Cui Yun, and Xiao Xia?" a nun asked with great concern.
"Now that things have come to this, we're at our wits' end." Abbess Miaojue was conflicted and truly helpless. "That man wielding the knife was just an ordinary disciple from the Holy Land, yet he was so terrifying. If we truly offended an elder of the Holy Land, our Emei Sect would be annihilated instantly! Also, if I'm not mistaken, Feng Haoyu should also be from the Holy Land… Alas, Li Yun, Cuiyun, Xiaoxia, I… I'm so sorry. Good luck to you all…"
…… …… ……
City D.
In the evening, Gao Jianfei brazenly led seven Emei women out of the brothel.
Of course, once he changed into men's clothing and covered his prominent chest, he looked like a man. A complete man.
So much so that when Gao Jianfei led them downstairs and through the lobby, many women flirted with them, and some of the brothel's foremen and pimps rushed over to solicit customers. If it weren't for the thick face masks they wore after their disguises, these seven women's faces would probably have been as red as monkey bottoms!
The brothel had a large flow of people coming and going, so Gao Jianfei led the seven women from the Emei Sect out smoothly without arousing any suspicion.
Back to the clinic.
Previously, Mayor Zuo Qing, who had returned to D City from London, England, also called Gao Jianfei to inquire where he should take the old man for treatment.
Gao Jianfei instructed Zuo Qing to take the person directly to the clinic located in Butterfly Village.
Gao Jianfei, accompanied by seven disguised women, took several taxis back to Butterfly Village.
To Gao Jianfei's surprise, the local martial arts forces from D City who had been guarding the entrance to Butterfly Village had long since disappeared without a trace.
Butterfly Village has finally returned to its former tranquility!
In fact, the news of the assassination of eight Qingcheng Sect disciples at Uncle Yao's villa spread like wildfire, causing a huge uproar throughout the internal martial arts circle of D City. Some internal martial arts forces that had traveled from the province to D City to assist the Qingcheng Sect in capturing Gao Jianfei alive were already frightened and left the city. After all, a large number of Qingcheng Sect members had died, which instilled a deep sense of unease in the smaller internal martial arts sects. Better safe than sorry, they could only leave disappointed and empty-handed.
For example, smaller sects like the Quick Blade Hall, which were originally responsible for monitoring Gao Jianfei's residence, have also withdrawn.
"Heh, everyone can stay at my clinic for now." Gao Jianfei took out his key, opened the clinic's roller shutter door, and arranged for the seven women to stay in several guest rooms on the second floor.
Just as everything was settled, Mayor Zuo Qing's Lexus pulled up outside the clinic. Gao Jianfei came downstairs to greet Old Master Zuo and Mr. and Mrs. Zuo Qing.
As usual, we performed acupuncture on the old man and prepared ginseng soup for him to drink.
Now, Grandpa Zuo's complexion is basically the same as that of a normal person. His face is rosy and healthy. He eats a lot every day, has a good appetite, and gets enough sleep.
Compared to the dying, near-death Old Master Zuo from a while ago, they are completely different people.
Gao Jianfei felt Old Master Zuo's pulse and said happily, "Hmm, Old Master's illness has been almost cured, and he no longer needs acupuncture treatment. Later, I'll prescribe some medicine. You should brew it for Old Master three times a day, morning, noon, and night. I also have some leftover wild ginseng here, which I'll give to Old Master as well. After a period of treatment, Old Master will be completely fine!"
"Ah?!" Zuo Qing and Mo Wenhui both exclaimed in surprise, their eyes filled with excitement and gratitude! Although they had heard from some media reports that Gao Jianfei, this miracle doctor, had a somewhat improper private life, there was no doubt that Gao Jianfei possessed excellent medical ethics and superb medical skills. Besides, it's normal for a young, talented man to be a bit of a playboy!
After the treatment was completed, Gao Jianfei gave the herbal medicine and wild ginseng to Zuo Qing's family and saw them out of the clinic.
At this moment, the voice of the intelligent program rang in Gao Jianfei's ears... "Dear user, you have completed the life-extending treatment for Zuo Qing's father. Therefore, you have gained 5 experience points and 5 exorcism points. Please continue to take on more tasks, complete tasks, gain experience points, and level up as soon as possible!"
5 experience points, acquired!
Gao Jianfei was overjoyed and couldn't wait to turn on the virtual display screen and scan his current data...
"The Exorcist: Gao Jianfei"
Age: 22
Level: 3
Exorcism Point: 3550/926755
Experience: 926700
Experience required to upgrade to Level 4 Exorcist: 151650
You're just 15 experience points away from leveling up!
A slight excitement welled up in Gao Jianfei's heart!
Chapter 305 Go to Japan, then go to Japan
Chapter 305 Go to Japan, then go to Japan
Just 15 more experience points and I'll be a guaranteed level 4 Exorcist!
What surprises await Gao Jianfei after becoming a Level 4 Exorcist? Let's wait and see! Although Gao Jianfei is currently facing a bit of a predicament, in reality, the initiative has always been firmly in his hands!
With the incredible software, the Super Ghost Instrument, Gao Jianfei knew perfectly well that he was the most promising person on this planet, without exception! All difficulties and all enemies would be crushed and defeated by him!
Gao Jianfei originally intended to enter the Ghost Den to complete some Level 4 missions for the AI program. However, Level 4 missions almost always involve killing. The entire city of D is currently on edge, with police everywhere, police cars, and heavily armed armed police officers. If Gao Jianfei were to choose this tense moment to recklessly commit murder in D City, it would be quite inappropriate!
Mayor Zuo Qing just told Gao Jianfei that Uncle Yao's death has had a huge impact on the entire province. Currently, the province's underground forces are on the verge of collapse. To put it bluntly, the provincial underground forces are about to undergo a change of regime! Tonight, the heads of the underground forces from every city in the province will gather at the largest cemetery in D City to hold a memorial service for Uncle Yao. And in D City itself, there are nearly tens of thousands of underground personnel who rely on Uncle Yao for their livelihood! They will also personally attend the event to send Uncle Yao off on his final journey! Therefore, the scene will undoubtedly be the most terrifying since the establishment of D City!
To prevent any accidents, the D City Military Sub-district has already deployed troops!
It can be said that D City has now launched a crackdown, and anyone who commits a crime will be arrested and severely punished!
Therefore, it is impossible for Gao Jianfei to carry out missions and kill people again in D City.
This is a time to keep a low profile!
As for the tasks that can be completed by donating money, they are all level 3 tasks and don't give much experience, so they are of no help in leveling up! Gao Jianfei's money comes easily, but he can't just give it away randomly.
Therefore, all Gao Jianfei needs to do is go to other cities and directly accept two level 5 missions. Upgrading the software will be a piece of cake!
"Uh, looks like I'll have to move." Gao Jianfei chuckled to himself, then closed the clinic's roller shutter door, preparing to go upstairs to chat with the women of the Emei Sect before taking a shower and resting.
Just then, Gao Jianfei's phone rang.
Gao Jianfei frowned and answered the phone.
