Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

On Zhongnan Mountain.

Quanzhen Sect.

At this moment, a great tremor is occurring inside.

Zhao Zhijing, a third-generation disciple of the Quanzhen School who had just returned to the mountain, was furious when he discovered that his disciple Lu Qingdu had gone missing on Zhongnan Mountain.

Especially after Zhao Zhijing mobilized his connections and ordered the other Quanzhen disciples to search thoroughly but still couldn't find any trace of his disciple Lu Qingdu, his face turned almost completely black, so gloomy it could drip water.

He was highly skilled in martial arts and was considered one of the best among the third-generation disciples, even surpassing Zhen Zhibing.

Zhao Zhijing's goal has always been to strive for the position of chief disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, because the identity of chief disciple represents the future successor to the sect leader.

However, Zhao Zhijing himself was narrow-minded and irritable, making him a poor choice, and there were no particularly outstanding individuals among the Quanzhen Sect disciples. Once he realized this, Zhao Zhijing chose to leverage his strengths within the bounds of the rules.

In the Quanzhen School, doctrines and rules are paramount in certain contexts.

Therefore, even if the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, from the same generation as their master, saw through the fact that they had committed murder and framed others within the established rules, thus initiating internal strife within the Quanzhen sect, they could not say anything.

Perhaps in the eyes of some elders, this is also a way to improve the fighting power of the Quanzhen Sect through competition.

His apprentice, Lu Qingdu, was a very useful tool for Zhao Zhijing, and could be considered his most trusted confidant.

But now his apprentice, Lu Qingdu, has disappeared.

He went missing while patrolling Zhongnan Mountain.

Based on Zhao Zhijing's understanding of his apprentice Lu Qingdu, he was probably in grave danger.

This caused a major problem and a major oversight in Zhao Zhijing's plan to become the chief disciple.

Therefore, within the entire Quanzhen Sect, there were only a few people who had conflicts with him and his disciples, so the pool of people who dared to directly attack Lu Qingdu on Zhongnan Mountain was much smaller.

As for Zhen Zhibing, he didn't have the guts.

If such a person truly existed, Zhao Zhijing would have already looked at him with new respect. So what if he gave up the position of chief disciple to him?

Zhao Zhijing was willing to assist Zhen Zhibing.

Unfortunately, Zhen Zhibing is just Zhen Zhibing.

If it were someone from outside the mountains, then the situation would be even more serious.

That would require the entire Quanzhen Sect to launch a full-scale attack.

Right now...

Under the arrangement of Zhao Zhijing's master Wang Chuyi, almost all the Quanzhen disciples who stayed on Zhongnan Mountain went out and finally found Lu Qingdu's body among the rocks in a valley.

To be precise, it was a mutilated corpse, gnawed to pieces by wild animals, which looked like either a bear or a wild boar.

Standing in front of his apprentice's corpse, Zhao Zhijing remained expressionless, as if trying to discern something from the body.

After all, corpses can talk.

After examining Zhao Zhijing, a Quanzhen disciple who also worked as a part-time coroner gave him an unexpected answer.

The fact that there are part-time coroners in the Quanzhen School is because the Quanzhen School itself is quite different from the Taoist sects under normal circumstances.

Part of its origins lie in its transformation from a former rebel army.

There are quite a few talented people in the military.

Therefore, the fact that the Quanzhen Sect was able to maintain its status as the number one sect in the world after the death of its founder, Wang Chongyang, was not only due to the legacy of its founder, but also because of things like military formations that had not been forgotten.

In particular, the Tiangang Beidou Formation, a famous formation in the Quanzhen School, is actually a variant of military formations.

It can break down small targets into individual ones, but its real function is to expand and completely transform into a battle formation.

Therefore, when targeting top masters in the martial arts world, the power of the Big Dipper Formation always feels unsatisfactory.

"Senior Brother Lu actually choked to death himself." The Quanzhen disciple who said this was also very surprised, and analyzed with great seriousness, "But this should not be an accident, he suffered a wound to his throat."

It would be a joke if a Taoist priest with considerable martial arts skills were to choke to death by accident.

The Quanzhen disciples also had a thought, and they had their own guesses, but they dared not say it.

"..."

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhijing said in a deep voice, "Take the body back to the sect and give your Senior Brother Lu a proper burial."

"Then...have people surround the forbidden area in the back mountain."

"I went to my master, senior brothers, and uncles to obtain the warrant."

After saying this, Zhao Zhijing stopped looking at his apprentice Lu Qingdu's body and turned to leave.

soon.

Zhao Zhijing then received the warrant and was led by his master, Wang Chuyi, one of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, to the territory of the Ancient Tomb Sect in the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain.

Zhen Zhibing also came along.

When Yue Que and Yang Guo, two of his disciples, betrayed him, he secretly witnessed his uncle Hao Datong fighting with the white-clad woman from the Ancient Tomb Sect from a corner.

That battle had a greater impact on Zhen Zhibing than on Hao Datong, who suffered a crushing defeat.

From that moment on, he could not forget the ethereal woman.

This time, Hao Datong, who had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Xiaolongnu, did not come.

The old Taoist priest had a sense of shame.

Their group wasn't seeking direct revenge; rather, they needed the Ancient Tomb Sect to give them an explanation.

However, when Zhao Zhijing and the others arrived at the forbidden area in the back mountain with great excitement, and even with a lot of caution about being stung by the jade bees, they were all stunned when they reached the outside of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

Residual marks.

The chaotic road looked as if someone had scrambled and crawled into the ancient tomb.

But what's even more eye-catching is the broken dragon stone that was placed at the only entrance to the Ancient Tomb Sect.

Zhen Zhibing stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the broken dragon stone in front of him, as if his soul had left his body.

This seems to be more than just Lu Qingdu's problem.

Wang Chuyi and his apprentice Zhao Zhijing looked at each other, and couldn't help but gasp.

When facing a formidable enemy, what kind of person would scramble and crawl away?

It is clear.

In the minds of the master and disciple, there were only two people: Yue Que and Yang Guo.

Their martial arts skills were both mediocre at best.

It's alright that Yue Que, the traitor of Quanzhen, died; it can be considered a cleansing of the sect. But if Yang Guo, the rebellious disciple of Quanzhen, causes trouble, then the problem is much bigger.

How are we going to explain this to Guo Jing?

You have to understand that if it were just a matter of betraying the sect, that would be Yang Guo's problem; but if Yang Guo were dead, the Quanzhen Sect might be facing its own problems now.

After all, the relationship between the Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect is really... not something that outsiders should know.

They all knew that the ancient tomb had only one exit.

Under what circumstances did they retreat into it and make such a suicidal decision?

In an instant, a beautiful figure flashed through the minds of both master and disciple. It was none other than the Red Serpent Fairy, the traitor of the Ancient Tomb Sect who had made a name for herself in the martial arts world.

Therefore, no matter what happens to them, they must find Li Mochou!

"Achoo!"

The Crimson Serpent Fairy couldn't help but sneeze loudly, and the whisk in her hand unconsciously lashed out with a loud crack.

"Um???"

Li Mochou was puzzled as to why she suddenly sneezed, especially since her nostrils were still itchy. She felt as if something had been thrown at her head.

Looking back, I saw two graceful figures chasing and playing with each other in the distance, using their lightness skills. The two women were Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang, constantly sparring and honing their martial arts skills. Their moves were from the Nine Yin Manual.

Li Mochou's heart churned, and after suppressing the annoyance deep in her eyes, she finally spoke, "Hurry up, you two, stop dawdling."

"We need to find that adulterous couple."

"Based on Master's deduction, they probably won't be using the Ancient Tomb Sect's identity now, and are most likely using a new identity to travel the world."

The Crimson Serpent Fairy was very anxious. She was afraid that if she continued for a while, her junior sister's martial arts would improve to a level that would surprise her, her senior sister.

As for another, deeper goal, that is to catch up with that bastard named Yue Que!

Meanwhile, the adulterous couple Yue Que and Xiaolongnu, whom the Red Serpent Fairy mentioned, were acting as heroes in the name of the girl group SHE, robbing the rich to help the poor and carrying out so-called chivalrous deeds.

Because the two, who were poor, suddenly became rich.
