Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

A mountain stream.

Lu Qingdu, a fat Taoist priest and Zhao Zhijing's disciple, was carrying a sword on his back and holding a whisk, as usual, wandering around the Zhongnan Mountains.

Do not!

To call it wandering is an understatement; rather, it's a form of self-punishment by his sect, a way for Lu Qingdu to begin his journey through the Zhongnan Mountains. Given his status, even after experiencing Yang Guo's betrayal, with the protection of his master Zhao Zhijing, the influence of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and the connection between Guo Jing and the Quanzhen Sect, Lu Qingdu shouldn't have ended up having to wander the mountains to atone for his sins.

Yang Guo can be ignored, and the Ancient Tomb Sect can also be ignored.

It was the Quanzhen Sect that was losing face.

Therefore, the matter concerning Yang Guo was, in fact, suppressed within the Quanzhen Sect. In other words, as long as Yang Guo didn't appear in front of them, it was as if the matter never happened.

When navigating the world, one still needs to be mindful of interpersonal relationships and social interactions.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Qingdu would continue living his life as usual.

The truly serious reason for Lu Qingdu's predicament was the defection of another person.

That was Yue Que, a Taoist priest who had lived peacefully and obediently in the Quanzhen Sect for twelve years.

His apostasy caused quite a stir within the Quanzhen Sect.

In comparison, Yang Guo had only been in the Quanzhen Sect for a year, and given his background, almost the entire Quanzhen Sect paid little attention to him.

However, Yue Que represents a different meaning.

As a result of this entanglement, Lu Qingdu ended up in this predicament.

Moreover, within the sect's upper echelons, there is an internal investigation to see if anyone still harbors interest in the Ancient Tomb Sect, thus disturbing the existence of Daoist hearts.

"Tsk!"

The fat Taoist spat out the grass root he was chewing, and a hint of hatred couldn't be hidden on his fleshy face.

The more I thought about it, the more I hated it, and the more I hated it, the more I thought about it.

As a result of these factors combined, the traitorous young Taoist Yue Que unknowingly replaced Yang Guo as the object of Lu Qingdu's greatest resentment.

Furthermore, they believed that the demoness from the Ancient Tomb Sect had seduced the young Taoist priest from their sect.

They deserve to die!

During the two years of patrolling the mountain, Lu Qingdu subconsciously patrolled the area centered on the Ancient Tomb Sect.

The other disciples didn't have the same mindset to persist for two years, fearing that one wrong step would lead them into the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain. As a result, Lu Qingdu was the only one who remained focused on this area over time.

As long as the other party appears in his sight, Lu Qingdu will find a way to kill them.

It is the natural order for the sect to purge those who have betrayed the sect.

Just as Lu Qingdu was about to finish his morning tasks and go back for lunch, a loud bang was heard in the distance, followed by faint laughter.

"Um?"

"This direction!!!"

Lu Qingdu suddenly stopped in place, turned his head to determine the direction, calculated the distance, and made a decision. The fat Taoist priest immediately took action.

Using the Golden Goose Technique, the fat Taoist priest flew out like a plump duck.

……

boom!

The water surface exploded with a loud bang, and a towering column of water shot into the sky.

Amidst the splashing water, a white figure emerged from the depths of the pool, its sleeves fluttering in mid-air to fling away all the water from its body.

It is Yue Que, who wields the White Dragon and suppresses the Crimson Serpent, a man unmatched in the world.

"Hahaha!"

A carefree laugh echoed through the mountains and forests. After shaking off the water in mid-air, Yue Que, dressed in white, put his hands behind his back, stomped his right foot down, and landed on the rising water column, using the force to fly away.

Drifting ashore, Yue Que glanced back at the deep pool. The water column receded, leaving a white expanse, while white bubbles began to rise from the depths of the rolling blue water, as if something was stirring restlessly.

"..."

Withdrawing his gaze, Yue Que ignored it and turned to walk forward, preparing to take the path down the mountain in the distance to leave Zhongnan Mountain.

Without stopping, Yue Que strode down the mountain with light yet arrogant steps, seemingly slow but actually fast.

soon.

Then another loud bang came from behind.

Upon hearing this, Yue Que did not turn around, but simply shook his head slightly, ignoring it.

Because he knew that those who were meant to come would come.

With light steps, Yue Que quickly arrived at the path. Just as he was about to make a move, he heard a roar enter his ears.

"Yue Que!!!"

"You traitor!"

When Lu Qingdu arrived at the path, he saw Yue Que, whom he had been thinking about all along. Especially when Yue Que was wearing a white robe, he looked like a witch from an ancient tomb. A surge of anger rushed to his mind.

In an instant, his reason was consumed by rage. He drew the sword from his back and charged towards Yue Que.

Although Lu Qingdu's rationality was consumed by rage, he was not afraid of his opponent's martial arts skills.

Because Yue Que was just an ordinary Taoist priest during his twelve years in the Quanzhen Sect. He was not outstanding in martial arts and was quite ordinary except for his love of studying the Taoist canon.

Yue Que is most famous in the Quanzhen Sect for his appearance.

Under normal circumstances, Lu Qingdu, in his position, could look at a minor Taoist like Yue Que with a sidelong glance.

As for being knocked unconscious by Yang Guo during the competition, Lu Qingdu considered that to be an accident.

Besides, given the other party's aptitude, how much martial arts could they have learned in the ancient tomb in just two years?

When facing Yue Que, Lu Qingdu surely won't lose, right?

Now that he has run into this traitorous disciple who caused his punishment, Lu Qingdu decides to settle the score once and for all. Since the other party dared to leave the ancient tomb, he will directly capture him and bring him back to the Quanzhen Sect.

Even Lu Qingdu wondered if Yue Que had been expelled from the ancient tomb.

Or perhaps go even further and continue to apostatize?

"...Lu Qingdu?"

Yue Que was drawn to the roar and turned around to see a chubby Taoist priest rushing towards him with a Quanzhen sword in hand, cursing as he did so.

"You're the traitor!"

Yue Que didn't tolerate the other party's behavior and retorted while rushing towards them.

"???"

When did I become a traitor?

While Lu Qingdu was still wondering how he could be a traitor, the two passed each other. Lu Qingdu's attack missed completely, and before he could react, his vital points were struck, freezing him in place.

"you!"

"Your martial arts skills!!!"

"impossible!"

Lu Qingdu's chubby face flushed crimson, and he completely broke down: "It's impossible to become this strong in just two years!"

His common sense seemed to have been greatly shaken.

Lu Qingdu did not acknowledge that the Ancient Tomb Sect could teach its disciples to improve a person's martial arts to the point where he could not fight back and was defeated in one move in just two years.

"What a fine sword!"

Yue Que ignored Lu Qingdu's breach of defense and directly snatched the sword from his body. He casually performed two moves of the Quanzhen Sword Technique before sheathing the sword.

This is of better quality than the sword I carried when I was in the Quanzhen Sect.

Now, this sword belongs to Yue Que.

Upon hearing Lu Qingdu's angry rebuke and questioning, Yue Que couldn't help but laugh out loud, saying in an extremely gentle tone, "Lu Qingdu, when exactly did you come to the misconception that my martial arts are inferior to yours?"

"!!!"

Lu Qingdu froze on the spot, his face turning pale and then flushed.

He gently patted the other's shoulder to comfort him. Yue Que then ignored Lu Qingdu, leaped past him, and landed at the top of a large tree, where he stood quietly, observing the distance.

Despite appearing as a clown, Lu Qingdu is actually a minor villain in the later parts of the original story.

From another perspective, this person is still quite useful.

He is a sycophant, narrow-minded, vengeful, bullies the weak, behaves crudely, is cruel, and is blindly loyal.

But Lu Qingdu was not a womanizer.

If he could be used as a talent by Yue Que, he could provide him with a lot of emotional value. It's just a pity that Lu Qingdu is only blindly loyal to his master Zhao Zhijing.

Lu Qingdu's reaction was not unexpected for Yue Que; on the contrary, it made him feel a little regretful.

A short while later.

A white figure walked over from a distance; it was none other than Xiaolongnu, the leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

Upon seeing the newcomer dressed in white, the same style as the traitor Yue Que from Quanzhen Sect, Lu Qingdu immediately knew that the other party was from the Ancient Tomb.

It should be the current leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect, Xiaolongnu.

She was the woman who fought against her grandmaster Hao Datong. Although Lu Qingdu was not present, he learned about her from his master Zhao Zhijing.

Upon seeing her, he was certain of the woman's identity.

Upon seeing the woman's face radiating spring-like passion and her captivating charm, Lu Qingdu roughly understood what was going on. Coupled with the teasing he had just suffered at the hands of Yue Que, Lu Qingdu simply couldn't bear it any longer, otherwise his Dao heart would be unstable.

He seized upon the image of Little Dragon Girl, whom he considered a vixen, and launched into a tirade of extremely offensive and offensive words.

"Um?!"

Xiaolongnu raised her eyebrows slightly, her jade hand forming a sword-like finger, and pointed directly at Lu Qingdu's throat, silencing his foul language. The Taoist's plump face immediately turned bright red: "As punishment!"

If the other party hadn't been a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, she would have killed him directly.

With light steps, Xiaolongnu passed Lu Qingdu and continued walking forward.

After walking a dozen or so steps, she looked up.

Not far away, on the treetop of a large tree, Yue Que stood dressed in white, his left hand holding the Quanzhen sword behind his back, while his right hand gestured an invitation towards her.

After thinking for a moment, Xiaolongnu followed without expression.
