Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Lies are the true nature of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

There is a huge crisis of trust within the sect, giving it a feeling of a dark forest.

This is Yue Que's analysis of the Ancient Tomb Sect based on his own reflections over this period of time. He felt that this sect should not appear in Jin Yong's martial arts world.

From the founding matriarch Lin Chaoying to my own generation, they are all people who can wallow in lies.

The techniques for manipulating others, passed down from the founding matriarch, have made the disciples so adept at using all sorts of tricks.

On the contrary, Li Mochou's lineage, who ran away from the ancient tomb from the beginning and traveled the world alone, is the exception.

Li Mochou failed to control Lu Zhanyuan.

If the Red Serpent Fairy still retained some of the ancient tomb's essence, then her disciple Hong Lingbo was truly an anomaly.

Lu Wushuang, who was taken in as a servant and subjected to beatings and tortures, also possessed a ruthless and forbearing nature, just like the two brothers Yue Que and Yang Guo in the Ancient Tomb at the beginning.

All I can say is that these two fellow disciples truly live up to their name.

There were always several tricks up their sleeves between master and disciple.

Therefore, the female disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect have never been delicate women. Whether dealing with internal or external matters, they have plenty of strength and methods.

Unless you can't beat them.

For example, Lin Chaoying → Wang Chongyang.

Xiaolongnu → Yue Que, Yang Guo, Li Mochou.

Li Mochou → Xiaolongnu, Hong Lingbo, Lu Wushuang.

Lu Wushuang → Li Mochou, Hong Lingbo.

Yang Guo → Yue Que, Xiaolongnu, Li Mochou.

Yue Que is different.

He will treat everyone equally.

In this setting, Hong Lingbo stands out like a candle in the darkness, drawing attention and standing out from the crowd.

Not to mention Yue Que and Yang Guo, the two fellow disciples.

So when Hong Lingbo spoke those words with righteous indignation in response to Yue Que's questioning during the game of Truth or Dare, her cautious actions surprised everyone else present.

Regardless of how he treats outsiders, his attitude towards his own people is completely different from that of everyone else present.

Within the Ancient Tomb Sect, whether as a successor or "Grandma Sun," Hong Lingbo is a rare treasure.

As soon as Hong Lingbo said this, it immediately attracted the attention of others.

In the past, no matter how hard Hong Lingbo tried, no one would have truly trusted her. Back then, it was common for fellow disciples to sabotage each other.

The answers given now that everyone is trapped in the ancient tomb and waiting to die together are actually of extremely high value.

"???"

"Is something wrong?"

Faced with everyone's gaze, Hong Lingbo blinked, quite surprised.

Xiaolongnu first glanced at Yang Guo, then glanced at Yue Que beside her out of the corner of her eye, and finally turned her gaze to her senior sister, her eyes filled with a hint of envy.

This is a good junior apprentice and a good disciple.

Although Fairy Chilian was somewhat dissatisfied with the question Yue Que asked, she was quite satisfied with her disciple Hong Lingbo's answer.

Compared to her junior sister, Li Mochou, as the senior sister, felt that she had won in this respect.

Yang Guo was a rascal, Yue Que was an even bigger scoundrel, and Lu Wushuang is best left unmentioned.

After one round, it was considered a turn. Yang Guo was still in a state of self-pity because he had been hurt by Chi Lian Fairy's words. Hong Lingbo, out of respect for her master, didn't dare to ask about her own problems, while Lu Wushuang was caught up in heartbreak and guilt towards her senior sister, and she wasn't interested in anyone else for the time being.

After going around once, the Red Serpent Fairy found herself back on her own.

After a moment's hesitation, recalling Yue Que's oppressive interrogation, Li Mochou, feeling petty, decided to retaliate, since Yang Guo had already been offended by her words.

Yue Que tore open her wounds, so she tore open Yang Guo's, and now she's going to tear them back.

Her gaze lingered for a moment on her junior sister, Xiaolongnu, then looked at the two people almost touching, before Li Mochou asked, "Yue Que, right?"

"Did you and Yang Guo come to the Ancient Tomb intentionally or accidentally?"

These words immediately piqued everyone's interest.

In fact, Li Mochou had a lot of complaints about her sect taking in two male disciples.

"...It was an accident."

Yang Guo was jolted back to his senses by Li Mochou's series of questions, but he didn't answer, remaining silent. Now that he was more aware of the situation, Yang Guo began to think as well.

Yang Guo was forced into this situation, but his senior brother Yue Que...

"...Ugh!"

Yue Que wasn't too surprised by his senior uncle, Fairy Chi Lian's, counterattack. He had foreseen this scenario when he activated the Truth or Dare game.

Right now, my senior brother is still trying to sow discord!

Even at this critical moment of life and death, it was still the same, which could be considered a sect version of the struggle for the crown prince.

But it's better to address this issue sooner rather than later.

Meeting the gaze of his senior master Li Mochou and the watchful eyes of Xiaolongnu beside him, Yue Que affirmed, "It was intentional."

Before the other party could react, Yue Que continued, "Back when I was in the Quanzhen Sect, I learned that there was an ancient tomb in the forbidden area behind the mountain."

"At the time, I didn't know that this was the location of the Ancient Tomb Sect. It was only after learning about my senior master's story from my fellow disciples that I became very interested in the Ancient Tomb Sect."

"Red Serpent Fairy, Red Serpent Fairy, putting aside the red serpent, just the fact that she can be called a fairy while traveling in the martial world suggests that she must be an absolutely stunning beauty, as beautiful as a celestial being."

"That's why I became very interested in the Ancient Tomb Sect, especially since it could exist in the forbidden area behind the Quanzhen Sect's mountain."

"There are fairies in this forbidden area, so I have come."

Little Dragon Girl's lips curled up slightly.

True and false, false and true.

Yue Que spoke with utmost sincerity. Just from a fleeting glance he caught when Li Mochou fought Xiaolongnu, it was clear that the senior sister was more beautiful than Xiaolongnu.

A person's real name may be fake, but their nicknames and aliases in the martial arts world are often the truth.

Upon hearing this, Li Mochou's lips couldn't help but curl upwards slightly. It wasn't that no one in her martial arts world had admired or even coveted her appearance; however, aside from Lu Zhanyuan, almost everyone else had died under the Crimson Serpent Palm and the Ice Soul Silver Needles. Now, this seemingly unintentional praise from her junior disciple filled the Crimson Serpent Fairy with a surge of joy.

"Oh!"

Li Mochou couldn't help but sneer, her tone sarcastic towards the Quanzhen Sect: "I didn't expect that my nephew Yue would want to break the precepts at such a young age."

"So, Nephew Yue... who do you think is prettier, me or my junior sister?"

"Tell the truth!"

Good heavens!!!

Upon hearing this, Yue Que raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that although his senior sister had a failed romance that led to the death of her husband's entire family, her fighting spirit as a woman still unconsciously shone through.

It's worth noting that when Li Mochou was traveling the martial arts world, she identified herself as a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect. Occasionally, she would boast that her junior sister's beauty surpassed that of a celestial being, giving the impression that she was spreading the word that her junior sister was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility that the Red Serpent Fairy wanted to use those lustful evil spirits in the martial arts world to attack the Ancient Tomb, using the corpses of these men to fill her path back to the Ancient Tomb.

Unfortunately, her efforts were in vain, and in the end she had to bring her apprentice herself.

For a moment, everyone felt a chill permeating the atmosphere around them.

Yang Guo, Hong Lingbo, and Lu Wushuang subconsciously moved back a little.

Looking up, in the dim candlelight, the beautiful face of the Red Serpent Fairy was both gentle and charming. Unlike the aloof and ethereal Little Dragon Girl, Li Mochou had less of an otherworldly air and was filled with more of a down-to-earth vibe.

"My senior sister is more beautiful, while my aunt is as aloof as an immortal. Each has her own strengths and weaknesses."

This answer is not satisfactory.

However, Fairy Chilian merely chuckled and didn't press further. Instead, she asked, "So, what were your feelings after arriving at the ancient tomb you had been hoping for?"

Outsiders may not know what kind of personality Xiaolongnu has, but how could Li Mochou, who has been at odds with her for so many years, not know?

In response, Yue Que revealed his true thoughts in a meaningful tone—

"Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding!"

The moment Yue Que stepped into the ancient tomb, he understood.
