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

"You should have heard about my current situation from your junior brother. I can only ask you to protect me for the time being."

"This is the cave of my Lingjiu Palace. The martial arts I have cultivated are recorded inside. Let's stay here."

In the afternoon, after Wu Xingyun recovered her mood, she took Yang Ke to the cave where she usually practiced her martial arts, which contained murals depicting the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Since Yang Ke came to her on Wu Yazi's last wish, she would naturally impart all her knowledge and skills to him.

“I’ve been resting in the next room for a while now. These four are Mei Jian, Lan Jian, Zhu Jian, and Ju Jian. They are twin sisters who were abandoned by their biological parents and then picked up by me. They will be serving you for a while.”

Wu Xingyun waved her hand, signaling Mei Jian and the other three to take care of Yang Ke, while she herself went into seclusion next door.

Anyway, the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands were so frightened by Yang Ke's palm strike that they dared not act rashly. Her only remaining danger now is Li Qiushui.

Since her plan to hide down the mountain had failed, she entrusted her safety to Yang Ke.

Although Yang Ke was somewhat amazed when he first saw the four people, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, he calmly asked them to stand aside while he looked at the martial arts depicted on the mural.

In fact, the martial arts inscriptions on the stone walls of Lingjiu Palace were not left by Tianshan Tonglao, but were carved by a master hundreds of years ago. It's just that she has taken over as the current palace master.

The martial arts techniques on the stone wall are quite extensive, including not only the "Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand" and the "Tianshan Six Yang Palms," but also more profound and unique skills.

Compared to the other martial arts techniques on the stone wall, these two sets of martial arts are only the most basic. "Jia Yi" and "Jia Er" are just moves from "Tianshan Zhemei Hand". The later moves are increasingly more advanced.

The most profound martial arts technique on the stone wall should be the legendary "Soaring Through the Void and Riding the Wind," representing the most profound secret technique of the Free and Unfettered Sect. Yang Ke's strength had long surpassed that of this world, so he quickly cultivated to the final stage.

"This is definitely the Wind Control Technique of the Carefree Celestial."

After Yang Ke mastered this technique, he immediately transformed his previous ability of merely hovering in the air into the ability to fly using his aura—a true immortal's skill.

In fact, the origin of the Xiaoyao Sect should be Lingjiu Palace. After Xiaoyaozi took in Wu Xingyun and the others, he taught them the Beiming Divine Skill, the Xiaowuxiang Skill, and the Tianchangdijiu Everlasting Spring Skill.

As the eldest disciple, Wu Xingyun has cultivated the Longevity and Immortality Technique, so she should have the longest lifespan. Therefore, it would be most suitable for her to guard this place.

Unexpectedly, Xiaoyaozi's disciples turned their love into hatred, and in the end, all three of them passed on their skills to Xuzhu. The Xiaoyao Sect never appeared again afterward, probably because the setting was too abnormal.

"I was worried that you might go mad from seeing the last mural when Mei Jian and the others told me that you had seen it. I never imagined that your martial arts skills had reached such a profound level."

Wu Xingyun stepped out of the secret room and spoke to Yang Ke.

“My master once said that the martial arts depicted in the murals would be hard to reappear in the martial arts world. I never expected that you would be able to learn them at such a young age. It’s a pity that he will never get to see them.”

Wu Xingyun was filled with emotion as he thought about his youth.

At that time, although there were not many disciples of the Free and Unfettered Sect, each of them was a top expert.

If it weren't for matters of love and romance, it would definitely be on par with Shaolin Temple now.

Of course, that's still the case now. It's just that the Free and Unfettered Sect is all about enjoying life. If Wu Xingyun didn't have to take care of everyone in Lingjiu Palace, she would have found a place to live a leisurely life long ago. How could she have let Li Qiushui find her?

"Alright, since you're alright, I'll continue to rest and recuperate."

After Wu Xingyun finished speaking, he returned to the secret room.

The martial arts she practiced involved recovering her strength each day after her initial decline. Li Qiushui could only seek revenge within these few days, so she naturally had to hurry.

"Young master, you've been cultivating all day. Shall we arrange a bath for you?"

After being instructed by Granny Yu, Mei Jian and the others came over to question Yang Ke.

"Okay, go arrange it."

Yang Ke waved his hand, offering no objection.

Half an hour later, Mei Jian came over and gestured for Yang Ke to follow them to the bathing room.

"Son."

It was a bit of a shock to hear all four of them speak at the same time.

"You're dressed like this to help me bathe?"

Yang Ke was also disappointed to see that the four of them were still wearing the black robes of Lingjiu Palace.

"Young master, we..."

The group was confused, as they had been instructed to do so by Granny Yu, and were now completely at a loss.

"It's okay, don't be nervous, I'll teach you."

Yang Ke smiled, took off his clothes, and came to Mei Lan Ju Zhu and the other two, intending to give them some pointers.

"Congratulations, host, on successfully winning over the plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo, triggering the achievement reward, which is the advanced version of the fantasy-level martial art - Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique."

The system's reward this time is very appropriate.

Since it's a reward for four people, the reward is the Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique, and the key is that this advanced version is quite interesting.

The Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique was created by the Chess Saint and Sword Ancestor. It is divided into four realms: Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning. It is the essence of an ancient martial art, which integrates the power of heaven and earth with the ultimate potential of the human body.

This technique is profound and unfathomable; practitioners must approach it with reverence in order to grasp its true essence.

The Heavenly Will Four Symbols Technique consists of four moves: Azure Dragon Roars to the Sky, White Tiger Descends the Mountain, Vermilion Bird Soars in the Sky, and Black Tortoise Suppresses the Earth. Each move represents a different natural element and martial arts realm.

Actually, this martial art has an advanced version, which eventually becomes the unity of the four elements. It seems to be in the Dreamy Limitless manual in the show, but the system only rewards the simple Dreamy Limitless, so it's not there.

Fortunately, he triggered an achievement reward this time, and the system directly gave him the advanced version.

"Young master, let me serve you."

On the second day, as soon as Yang Ke got up, Grandma Yu came over.

Since Mei, Lan, Ju, and Zhu were unable to get up, Granny Yu, as the head housekeeper, had been keeping an eye on Yang Ke, this distinguished guest, and naturally had made arrangements.

It was only after arriving at Lingjiu Palace that Yang Ke truly understood the meaning of "considerate".

Actually, it's normal. The main reason is that everyone here is a woman. In the past, Granny Yu and others served Wu Xingyun, so there was nothing to hide.

Now it's Yang Ke's turn, but the hierarchy is still there. Even though Granny Yu felt embarrassed because of the difference between men and women, she still calmly helped Yang Ke change his clothes.

but. . .

Yang Ke knew Wu Xingyun's personality; he was quite old and took these matters of love and romance very seriously, so Yang Ke naturally didn't hold back.

After all, Granny Yu had worked hard changing his clothes, so I'll help her change too.

After 2 days.

"You're quite different from my junior brother."

Looking at Yang Ke's refreshed appearance, Wu Xingyun shook his head and said helplessly.

These past few days, Yang Ke has been quite unceremonious at Lingjiu Palace, and even Wu Xingyun, who was in seclusion, heard everything clearly.

But she really didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She had been taking care of the people in Lingjiu Palace for more than ten years. What was wrong with her contributing to the sect now?

"That's right. If my master had been like me back then, the Xiaoyao Sect wouldn't have fallen apart."

Yang Ke said shamelessly.

In ancient times, there weren't so many rules. Having multiple wives and concubines was normal. Wu Yazi simply couldn't see through it, which led to the current state of the Xiaoyao Sect.
