Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

After obtaining the Nine Yin Manual, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and the Military Treatise of Yue Fei, Yang Ke returned to Butterfly Valley to continue his leisurely life.

After all, most of the beauties in the world of Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber are here; he can just wait for the remaining adults to come out and pick them.

Yang Ke has entrusted the Nine Yin Manual to everyone for cultivation, and it is believed that a large number of grandmasters will be cultivated in the future.

As for the Grandmaster level, while the Nine Yin Manual can achieve that, this top-tier martial art has a drawback: it lacks internal energy.

In the drama, Zhou Zhiruo's time to cultivate the Nine Yin Manual was relatively short, which meant that she could only practice it when others were carrying her, and she did not have enough time to fully grasp the essence of the Nine Yin Manual.

Secondly, due to the secretive nature of cultivating the Nine Yin Manual, Zhou Zhiruo could only practice some quick-learning martial arts techniques and could not truly access the core content of the Nine Yin Manual.

This is similar to Mei Chaofeng, who also practiced the Nine Yin White Bone Claw. Although her martial arts improved, it was ultimately not a top-tier martial art.

However, this does not mean that Zhou Zhiruo did not try; it is just that due to various limitations, she was never able to truly unleash the full power of the Nine Yin Manual.

When Zhou Zhiruo competed with Yu Lianzhou and Yin Liting of the Wudang Sect, she already revealed her lack of internal strength, which was also a drawback of her practice of the Nine Yin Manual.

But now that everyone has time to cultivate, it's not too exaggerated for them to reach the Grandmaster level in a few years by relying on a few top-notch martial arts.

Seven years have passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Yang Ke has also received a lot of rewards. Seeing that the plot has reached the beginning stage of the story, he also plans to leave the valley to wrap things up.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully winning over Yin Li, Xiao Zhao, and Yang Buhui. Reward: +15 to all attribute points."

"Congratulations, host, on successfully winning over Zhou Zhiruo. Reward: Divine Sword - Great Ming Vermilion Bird."

Xiao Zhao and the others received decent rewards, but Zhou Zhiruo's reward was rather ordinary.

But it's understandable, since the sub-orthopedics department took them in early on, making them easy to win over, even if Zhou Zhiruo is the female lead.

Besides, the Great Ming Vermilion Bird is also quite good; it's a divine sword in low-level fantasy.

Using internal force to swing the sword at the Vermilion Bird of the Great Ming Dynasty will create a Vermilion Bird phantom, and the sword energy will carry a scorching attribute. As for other things, the low-level martial arts world naturally cannot do them, but without a doubt, this is a divine weapon that can be used in the fantasy world.

"Okay, let's go."

Seeing that Yin Li and the others were eager to go out and have fun, Yang Ke also called everyone to set off.

This time, Delis and Yin Susu didn't plan to go with them. Only Yang Ke would take four beautiful women with him to explore the martial arts world.

To quell the Yuan rebellion, Prince Ruyang recruited warriors from all directions. Zhao Min also returned to the martial world with the Xuanming Elders, and her first move was the siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects.

Since Yang Ke entered this world, the plot of this world has changed drastically.

First, Yang Xiao summoned the five great wandering masters of the Ming Cult back to the Ming Cult, and the Green-Winged Bat King also returned at the same time.

Yang Ke taught Yang Xiao the Qiankun Great Shift, and with his own strength, becoming the leader of the Ming Cult was not difficult for him.

The Five Wanderers did not refuse, and the Green-Winged Bat King was also loyal to the Ming Cult, but unfortunately, the flaws in his own martial arts prevented him from exerting much combat power.

However, the Five Elements Flags and the Four Gates of Heaven, Earth, Wind and Thunder under the Ming Cult had a large number of soldiers. Under Yang Ke's guidance, Yang Xiao continued to launch attacks and harass the Yuan soldiers.

Zhao Min naturally set her sights on the Ming Cult as her first target, which is exactly what happened in the drama.

The Emei Sect was constantly harassed by Ming Cult members disguised as Zhao Min, which greatly angered Abbess Miejue. She decided to personally contact the six major sects to join forces to destroy the Ming Cult at Bright Peak.

Originally, Wudang was not keen on attacking the Ming Cult, and Yin Liting had even resolved his inner conflict, so he wouldn't have encouraged Song Yuanqiao.

However, the other five major sects kept urging them, and Wudang, as one of the representatives of the righteous faction, naturally could not act in unison.

Ultimately, Song Yuanqiao, with a half-hearted attitude, led a group of young disciples to Bright Peak for training.

Yang Ke and his group's first stop was Kunlun Lianhuan Manor, where he had originally planned to meet two female supporting characters, and now it was time to reap the rewards.

Upon arriving at the Red Plum Manor, Yang Ke immediately witnessed the famous scene.

Perhaps the environment here is indeed suitable for hunting, so Zhu Jiuzhen raised another batch of hunting dogs.

What are you doing at our Red Plum Manor?

Zhu Jiuzhen could tell from Yang Ke and the others that they were all rich and powerful, but she was used to being arrogant and domineering. Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo and the others were no less beautiful than herself, she was jealous and asked them with barbs.

"Of course, we're here to capture you and make you our maid."

Yin Li's personality hasn't changed much over the years, and Yang Ke hasn't tried to correct it either, so when she saw Zhu Jiuzhen being so arrogant, she immediately wanted to tease her.

"How dare you! Take this!"

Hongmei Manor is located near the Western Regions, and there are really not many martial arts masters there. So, no one can usually control her arrogance. Naturally, she doesn't hold back when she strikes, and she picked up her riding whip and lashed it at Yin Li.

"Come here you."

Yin Li is now a grandmaster. With a casual grip on the whip, she exerted a sudden force, which pulled Zhu Jiuzhen, who was still on horseback, towards the ground.

"Brother Yang, your little sweetheart has been delivered to you."

Just as Zhu Jiuzhen was about to fall, Yin Li quickly went over and pushed her, sending her flying towards Yang Ke.

"You lecherous scoundrel, let me go! Do you know my father is Zhu Changling? If you don't let me go, you're dead when my father arrives!"

Zhu Changling had some prestige in this area, after all, he was a descendant of the Southern Emperor. In addition, there were no experts nearby, so Zhu Jiuzhen usually used this name to act arrogantly in this place.

But when she met Yang Ke, her father naturally lost all face.

"Cousin, what's wrong?"

Just then, Wei Bi heard the commotion and came over to check.

"surface!"

Before Zhu Jiuzhen could even finish calling him "cousin," Yang Ke casually killed Wei Bi with a single sword strike.

"cousin!"

Zhu Jiu was dumbfounded. How could this person be even more ruthless than himself, killing Wei Bi without saying a word?

"daughter!"

Zhu Jiuzhen was already near Hongmei Manor, so Wei Bi could hear the commotion, and Zhu Changling naturally heard it too.

"Dad, don't come any closer..."

Seeing the way the group looked, Zhu Jiuzhen knew they were confident and fearless, so naturally she didn't dare let Zhu Changling come over so easily.

Otherwise, if something happens to him, there really won't be anyone to save him.

"Who are you? Why did you kidnap my daughter and kill my nephew?"

Zhu Changling was furious, but he composed himself, lowered his fist, and began to inquire.

"It's nothing, it's just that I've long had my eye on your daughter Zhu Jiuzhen, oh, and Wu Qingying too. Wei Bi, who is closely related to the two of them, naturally deserves to die."

Yang Ke's words clearly came across as those of a villain, but no one at the scene refuted them.

Yin Li and the others knew Zhu Changling's background, and coupled with Zhu Jiuzhen's arrogance just now, they felt that there was nothing wrong with what they were doing.

Besides, Yang Ke is the number one expert in this world. In the martial arts world, fighting and killing are normal. In the end, it's all about who has the strongest fist.

Over the years, their martial arts training hasn't just focused on stances; they often conceal their identities to infiltrate the martial arts world and eliminate evil, so it's no surprise to the crowd.
