Li Yao looked at his palm, somewhat incredulous.
Not only that, he discovered that the powerful force he unleashed with his palm also faintly resembled that of a dragon and an elephant.
According to the original text, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm can at most unleash the power of a dragon and elephant, but cannot form the appearance of a dragon and elephant.
It is evident that the power of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm has been greatly enhanced through the optimization and refinement of the "Great Dao True Scripture" and the exploration of the body's potential by the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".
At this moment, the innkeeper rushed over, both surprised and angry, and asked, "Sir, what's going on?"
Without a word, Li Yao took out a gold ingot from his pocket, tossed it to the shopkeeper, and said indifferently, "Is this enough?"
The innkeeper immediately beamed and nodded respectfully, saying, "That's enough, sir. This room is no longer suitable. I'll get you another one."
Chapter 83 The Cycle of Heaven, Retribution is Inevitable
The next day, Li Yao went to the inn's lobby for breakfast.
He happened to overhear two people at the next table discussing the six major sects' attack on Bright Peak.
He also wanted to know how things were progressing.
So he ate while listening intently.
One of them said, "Bright Peak is going to be lively this time!"
Another person said, "You mean the six major sects' attack on Bright Peak?"
"Yes, this time the elites of the six major sects have almost all come out. Master Kongzhi of Shaolin, Abbess Miejue of Emei, the Five Heroes of Wudang, Xianyu Tong of Huashan, He Taichong of Kunlun, and the Five Elders of Kongtong have all been mobilized. Such a grand formation is truly rare. This time, the Demonic Sect is sure to be destroyed."
"I don't think so. I heard that the White-browed Eagle King and Yin Ye King of the Sky Eagle Sect have led their followers to come to the aid of the Demonic Sect. The Five Wanderers of the Demonic Sect and the Dharma King who protects the sect are also rushing to Bright Peak to aid the Demonic Sect."
"So what? Ever since the Demonic Sect leader Yang Dingtian disappeared, the members of the Demonic Sect have been fighting openly and secretly for the position of leader, and they are unwilling to give way to each other. Otherwise, the White-browed Eagle King would not have left the Demonic Sect and established his own sect. These people have come to Bright Peak, probably not to help the Demonic Sect, but to take advantage of the situation and seize the position of leader."
"It seems that the Demonic Sect is truly doomed this time."
"With the six major sects causing such a commotion, the Demonic Sect is definitely doomed. I heard that the six major sects have been arriving at the foot of Bright Peak one after another, and they might attack Bright Peak today..."
"..."
Upon hearing this, Li Yao was shocked: So soon, the six major sects are going to attack Bright Peak today?
There was no time to lose; he had to get to Bright Summit as soon as possible.
So, with a 'bang,' he put down his bowl and chopsticks, along with some silver coins, and rushed out the door.
After leaving the inn, Li Yao started walking and ran towards Bright Summit.
Just as he was about to reach the mountain peak where Bright Summit was located, and was passing through a forest, he suddenly noticed something unusual.
He found the woods too quiet, so quiet that there wasn't even a bird chirping.
There are definitely people in the woods, and more than one or two.
Could it be that people from the six major sects are in the woods?
Let's go in and take a look!
So Li Yao immediately and silently slipped into the woods.
Soon, he discovered a large group of people dressed in various clothes, many of whom were dressed as beggars.
Several people, who seemed to be in charge, stood together, as if they were discussing something.
Li Yao's five senses are incredibly powerful, and his hearing is naturally remarkably sensitive.
Even though he was far away from those people, he could still clearly hear them talking.
"If the six major sects fail to eliminate the Demonic Sect this time, the Demonic Sect will surely be severely weakened. We only need to attack Bright Peak from three directions to wipe out the Demonic Sect in one fell swoop. At that time, our small sects will become famous throughout the world."
"Elder Chen is right. Those six major sects have always looked down on our Sea Sand Sect, Giant Whale Gang, Divine Fist Sect and other gangs. Today we will make a name for ourselves, wipe out the Demonic Sect in one fell swoop, and make the six major sects look at us with new eyes."
"..."
Li Yao quickly understood.
It turns out that the Giant Whale Gang, the Sea Sand Sect, the Divine Fist Sect, and other small sects, under the instigation of certain people with ulterior motives, wanted to take advantage of the situation and reap the benefits.
And this person with ulterior motives should be Chen Youliang, Cheng Kun's apprentice and the Eight-Bag Elder of the Beggars' Sect.
Chen Youliang gathered this rabble with the intention of completely annihilating the Ming Cult.
Although this mob was not strong, it was numerous.
Unknown martial arts sects such as the Sanmen Gang, Wushan Gang, Wufeng Saber, and Duanhun Spear all came to join the fun.
Their only goal was to take the opportunity to eliminate the world's number one demonic sect and thus gain fame throughout the land.
It seems that the six major sects have indeed launched a full-scale siege of Bright Peak today.
Li Yao did not disturb these people, but quietly left the woods.
He then quickened his pace and hurried toward Bright Summit.
Along the way, he saw many corpses lying on the ground.
Most of the corpses were dressed in the clothing of Ming Cult members.
Li Yao had been to Bright Summit, so he naturally recognized these clothes.
It seems that the Ming Cult suffered heavy casualties this time.
Of course, among these corpses, there were also many people from the six major sects.
Li Yao also unexpectedly discovered that various attribute orbs were scattered around these corpses.
He glanced at them and immediately collected the attribute orbs.
According to the system prompts, the attribute light orb will exist for one hour, or half a shichen (a traditional Chinese unit of time).
Therefore, it means that these people died no more than half an hour ago.
It seems that the six major sects have very likely already stormed Bright Peak.
Li Yao quickened his pace and continued towards Bright Summit.
As he hurried toward Bright Peak, he collected the attribute orbs scattered throughout the area.
The people who died were generally not very skilled in martial arts.
Therefore, the attribute values that drop from them are not very high.
However, the sheer number of them allowed Li Yao to gain a considerable number of attributes.
Many of its attributes are true qi attributes.
Li Yao quickly reached the mountaintop and suddenly heard the sound of clashing weapons coming from not far away; the fighting was extremely intense.
It seems the battle between the six major sects and the Ming Cult has not stopped, and I have not arrived too late.
Li Yao glanced at the ground and collected the attributes on it.
Suddenly, a whooshing sound rang out as two steel darts hurtled towards Li Yao's back, while someone shouted, "Who goes there? Stop!"
Li Yao turned around and with a slight flick of his right arm, a burst of energy shot out, sending the two steel darts flying back.
Immediately afterwards, a scream of pain was heard, and someone fell to the ground.
Li Yao looked closely and saw a middle-aged man in brown clothes lying on the ground, with the two steel darts embedded in his right shoulder.
He frowned and demanded, "Why did you ambush me?"
The middle-aged man in brown said righteously, "Judging from your attire, you are not from the Six Major Sects, but must be a member of the Demonic Sect. Everyone has the right to kill members of the Demonic Sect!"
Li Yao could only smile wryly. These so-called prestigious sects actually made "ambushing others" sound so elegant and refined; it was simply shameless.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man in brown was quite fierce. He suddenly sprang up and kicked Li Yao in the abdomen.
Li Yao sneered, neither dodging nor retaliating, letting the other party kick him.
Bang!
The middle-aged man in brown was sent flying backward, his back slamming heavily against a large tree, spitting out blood as he died.
His right foot was also broken by Li Yao's powerful rebound force.
This is a rebound attack from the true energy of the Great Dao within Li Yao's body!
Li Yao shook his head slightly and said, "Using their own methods against them is the way of heaven; retribution is inevitable!"
Chapter 84 The Bystander Sees More Clearly: The Old but Resolute Yin Tianzheng
Li Yao guessed that the middle-aged man in brown was probably in charge of the perimeter security.
At that moment, even more intense fighting sounds came from inside.
Li Yao immediately rushed in through the main gate, passed through two halls, and arrived at a large square.
The square was packed with people.
Outside the square, six distinct groups of people dressed in different clothing surrounded a group of people covered in injuries.
Clearly, the six people dressed in different styles on the periphery should be from the six major factions.
The group of people surrounded should be members of the Ming Cult and the Eagle Cult.
The six major factions have already formed an encirclement around the Ming Cult.
Seeing the situation before him, Li Yao had already guessed the general outline of what was going on.
Presumably, Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, the Five Wanderers, and other Ming Cult masters have all fallen victim to Cheng Kun's ambush, which is why they are all heavily injured now.
I wonder if Zhang Wuji managed to escape from the secret passage.
Li Yao scanned the crowd but did not find anyone dressed in rags.
Is Zhang Wuji still trapped in the secret passage?
Li Yao put aside his distracting thoughts and quietly approached.
The scene was a chaotic battle, with a burly, bald old man among the commotion.
