”There really is a Hornless Lamp, there really is a Hornless Lamp.” Chi Feng repeatedly muttered these words, his expression was extremely strange.
What on earth was that Hornbeam? Chi Feng talked to himself for a long time before he finally told Ye Mo Han about the Horned Lamp.
Although the Kongtong Sect wasn't very powerful, they had been established for at least hundreds of years. Chasing down the roots, Kongtong should have been founded earlier than the Shaolin Faction. Rumor has it that founder Peng Yongping met an old man in the mountains in the early days. He called himself the 'Pan Hornless'. The 'Pan Hornless' man had given him the 'Hornless' lamp. Peng Yongping's kung fu was mediocre, and he was loyal to a wide range of people. Plus, he had quite a lot of money, which was why he was able to create Kongtong. Since then, Peng Yongping had been challenging all over the martial arts world. The defeated would occasionally live, and the crippled would become a cripple, no longer a threat. Peng Yongping relied on his martial arts skills and sinister methods to quickly become the best martial arts under the heaven. In just eight short years, the Kongtong Sect annexed and expanded the other sects. Soon, it became the largest sect in the world. Five years later, Peng Yongping contracted a strange disease and died soon after. At that time, the Kongtong Sect had already become a thorn in the side of the government. With Peng Yongping's sudden death, the headless Kongtong Sect naturally suffered attacks from the government and the sects they supported. In this way, Peng Yongping's painstaking efforts were completely wasted. Fortunately, the government didn't want any sects to grow up, so they didn't kill all of the Kongtong Sect. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any more Kongtong Sect in the martial arts world.
”Does Peng Yongping's martial arts move have anything to do with the Hornbeam?” Ye Mo Han asked.
”Rumor has it that there was a martial arts carved on the Horned Lamp's head. Peng Yongping died because he practiced this martial arts.”
”What martial arts?”
After a long while, Chi Feng said, ”When I was young, I heard my master mention that the martial arts that Kongtong's founder Peng Yongping cultivated was called the Demonic Art. One side was like a god or a demon, but the other was also like a god or a devil.
Chi Feng opened the window, looked at the corpses on the ground, and said, ”Rumor has it that after Peng Yongping died, in order to prevent Kongtong's descendants from practising this skill again, he destroyed this Hornless Lamp. Since then, the Kongtong Sect has collapsed, and people have slowly forgotten about the Horned Lamp. ”
Ye Wen raised the letter in his hand. ”If what is written is true, it is that Peng Yongping destroyed the fake Hornbeam and hid the real Hornbeam in secret before he died.”
Chi Feng admitted that this was a possibility. Peng Yongping had no children in his life, and Kongtong Sect was his life's work. It was reasonable for him to hide the Horned Lamp Pan and pass the information on to the next Sect Leader. However, after so many years, Kongtong Sect had changed many Sect Leaders, so why wasn't there a Sect Leader training in this Demonic Art? Currently, Yan Bo of the Kongtong Sect had been murdered by his wife, and more than half of the experts of the Kongtong Sect had been killed by Chi Feng.
”If this Hornless Lamp is truly passed down from one sect head to the next, then these sect leaders are truly useless. None of them were able to master it.” Chi Feng disdainfully said.
”If the Godly Demon Art is really as you described, then the cost of cultivating it would be too high. Furthermore, Peng Yongping also died because of the Godly Demon Art, so these Sect Leaders should not have gone to cultivate it. ” ”…” Ye Mo Han said, deep in thought. Or perhaps they didn't want to ignite fire and burn their bodies. Once the Horned Lamp is known to still exist, it will certainly arouse a conflict in the martial arts world. With Kongtong's strength, he simply cannot protect himself. ”
”So.” ”Chi Feng continued.” After Peng Yongping handed the Horned Lamp of the Pan to a reliable person, that person hid it and told the next successor of the sect. He also instructed that the Horned Lamp of the Pan must be protected with all of his heart, and once Kongtong was powerful enough, the Sect Leader would then practice the Godly Demon Art on it. ”
Ye Mo Han nodded his head. ”But until now, the Kongtong Sect has still been living in the cracks. And in the past few hundred years, there hasn't been a single person who has cultivated the Godly Demon Art.”
To be able to pass down a secret martial arts manual from generation to generation without being discovered by others, it could be seen that all the previous Sect Leaders of Kongtong had undergone rigorous selection. And among these several generations of Sect Leaders, none of them actually attempted to cultivate in the Demonic Divine Art. One must know that there were many martial artists in the martial arts world, and among these dozens of people, there was no lack of martial artists. In the face of the temptation of things that he loved, he was unmoved.
