Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

On the way to Dasheng Pass, the Mongol prince Huo Du, fanning himself with a fan and walking with an unbridled, arrogant gait, remarked with a click of his tongue, "The martial arts world of the Central Plains is truly fascinating."

"Such a major incident occurred in Xiangyang City; is this considered a courtesy extended to me, Huo Du?"

"The treasury silver has been stolen; it's our Mongolian people who have been victimized!"

Amidst the laughter, Huo Du remained completely unconcerned, his gaze turning slightly cold. He found the sudden surge of interest in this inexplicable and widely discussed matter quite amusing.

"Junior brother!"

Walking ahead of Huo Du was his senior brother, Darba, whose thick, burly body seemed to deliberately trample the earth with every step. The trembling of his fat body added to his imposing presence.

Upon hearing his junior brother Huo Du's exclamation, Darba scratched his head and asked in a muffled voice, "Did they really steal millions of taels of treasury silver?"

"That's a huge lump!"

Darba had always considered himself an exceptionally strongman, but at this moment, facing the man who stole the treasury silver, Darba admitted he was no match for him and had to admit defeat.

"Senior brother!"

"Use your brain, are you stupid? You actually believe that?" Hearing his senior brother Darba's words, Huo Du stopped waving his fan, completely speechless: "Then it's impossible, it's fake."

Upon hearing this, the Mongolian National Preceptor, Golden Wheel Dharma King, who was walking at the front, twitched his eyelids. He believed that this little disciple was secretly plotting against him.

Just now, the Golden Wheel Monk was also thinking about how he would steal so much treasury silver if he were in that situation! Another feeling he had was that the Han people were really rich.

If this is true, could we take this opportunity to capture Xiangyang...?

However, because the Golden Wheel Monk was walking at the very front, and his expressionless face exuded an imposing aura, others couldn't discern anything from him.

"Junior brother, is it possible that those rumors are all part of a group operation?"

"A million taels of silver is not unexpected."

Darba shook his head, still insisting on his opinion, and said seriously, "Besides, it's said that they even have nicknames there, that they're like a white snake that has become a spirit!"

"If it's a monster with immense strength, then that's perfectly normal."

"And it's said there are also the Crimson Serpent, Jade Capital, Azure Dragon, and Treading Tail, among others!"

Darba looked very serious as he spoke about his thoughts.

"..." Huo Du snapped his folding fan shut and smacked himself on the forehead, then poked his senior brother's back while shouting, "Still the Red Serpent! Still the Red Serpent! Still the Red Serpent!!!"

"The Crimson Serpent Fairy has it!"

"The theft of a million taels of silver from the treasury wasn't something we were told about; it was given to other people."

Those names are practically a group of snake spirits!

Return the monster!

Huo Du discovered that his senior brother was too foolish and naive. Although he could be described as having a pure heart, it was not a good thing. He was really easy to fool.

"Tell it to others?" It was the Golden Wheel Dharma King who spoke.

"Yes, Master!" Huo Du replied respectfully. Although the Golden Wheel Monk was the National Preceptor, Huo Du was a prince and had a deeper understanding of some things.

Those things are just things you say to others.

The outskirts of Xiangyang City.

Yue Que and Xiaolongnu were in a room, and what was echoing in their ears was the momentous event that the master and disciple had accomplished together, an event that would make them famous throughout the martial arts world.

Before the two men stood a court official, who had been brought before them and was kneeling on one knee.

"One million, right?"

Snapped!

"Treasury silver, right?"

Snapped!

"Explain to me what it means to have stolen a million taels of silver from the treasury!"

Snapped!

"So you're asking us to settle the score?"

Snapped!

"You beast!"

Snapped!

With a single word and a slap, Yue Que quickly slapped the other man's face until it was red and swollen, and even knocked the official hat off the man's head to the ground.

The captured civil official from Xiangyang moved his mouth slightly, filled with resentment but daring not to say anything. Even while kneeling, he remained upright, enduring the pain.

But when his official hat was knocked to the ground, his expression changed, and an uncontrollable rage surged within him.

He hunched over, frantically trying to pick up the official hat from the ground, but stopped abruptly when his hand touched it. Yue Que's foot had stepped directly on the back of his hand.

"A clean prefect for three years earns 100,000 taels of silver."

"With a bunch of scoundrels like you, how can the Song Dynasty maintain its rule? How will Xiangyang ever be able to hold out again!"

While scolding him, Yue Que also chased the other person's hand with his toes.

Yue Que and Xiaolongnu did steal silver, but not a million, nor was it treasury silver; rather, it was the snowflake silver that this guy had embezzled.

The actual amount was no more than 10,000 taels of silver plus 1,000 taels of gold, which together amounted to 100,000 taels of silver.

That's just a portion of the other party's movable property, not to mention other immovable assets such as houses and land.

Originally, Yue Que and Xiaolongnu came to Xiangyang to scout out the area and also to find the place where Dugu Qiubai hid his sword. However, because of the previous incident at the mountain stronghold, Yue Que temporarily put aside this plan.

After conducting a clandestine investigation in Xiangyang, Yue Que discovered that the city's wealth was accumulating at a strange rate.

This is not normal.

In particular, the anxiety caused by the panic before the war inadvertently accelerated this pace.

A large part of this is human-made.

So when some officials were doing charity work in Xiangyang to gain prestige, Yue Que took Xiaolongnu, disguised and in disguise, to have a meal and took the opportunity to scout the place out.

The person buying fame is the one right in front of you.

After stealing the silver, Yue Que secretly left a warning message for the other party, pointing out their ulterior motive of using charity to gain fame.

Originally, Yue Que thought that the matter was over and the other party should live cautiously, while he could take the 100,000 taels of silver to do serious business and prepare to deal with Guo Jing and his wife.

But to everyone's surprise, the other party was incredibly audacious. They directly reversed the name and switched it with the treasury silver, even adding a "1" to the previous number, and then publicized it extensively.

The numbers may change even more dramatically in the future, beyond what outsiders can even imagine.

His code name should not be Xi Xuan now, but Xing Zhe.

black!

too dark!

Yue Que felt a surge of anger brewing within him.

In the promotional information, the scope of Yue Que's Great Serpent Gang was expanded, and a bunch of code names derived from snakes were directly displayed.

This claim wasn't actually meant for people in the underworld, but for those in power who knew everything, and for ordinary people who knew nothing.

The girl group SHE has become famous in a way that is hard for ordinary people to imagine.

hiss!

The middle-aged official, who had been slapped again in Yue Que's anger, seemed to sense the chilling killing intent. He no longer endured it, and instead grinned with his blood-stained mouth, sarcastically saying, "A江湖人 (jianghu person)?"

"Ha, so what?"

"You two, a perfect couple, are nothing but clueless江湖人 (jianghu people) who don't even know the basic rules! This isn't how a true hero of the martial world behaves."

"That's why I had someone contact the renowned hero Guo Jing to come to Xiangyang long ago."

"And Guo Jing's wife, Huang Rong, agreed."

"For you, it should be a matter of江湖人打下江湖人!"

"Hahaha!"

"Pah!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood, which Yue Que slightly dodged by turning to the side.

Moreover, he didn't believe the other party would dare to kill him, after all, he wasn't a military officer or a江湖人士 (jianghu person).

He was a distinguished civil official from a prominent family; behind him stood...

Yue Que had always thought that transmigrators were the most arrogant, but now he realized that wasn't the case. The truly unbelievably arrogant people were precisely those like the ones right in front of him.

But the other party's words calmed Yue Que down from his rage. It wasn't the Nine Yin Manual he had just learned, but rather the signs of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra in operation. He became arrogant and condescending, like a ruthless Heavenly Emperor looking down at him with disdain.

aside.

As the exercises are performed in unison, minds and intentions become one.

With the blessing of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, Little Dragon Girl resembled a fairy from Mount Gusha, and with a flick of her jade hand, she put on a golden silk glove.

As he looked up, he was horrified to find that the aloof and ethereal woman before him had made a move.

With a gentle press of her delicate hand, the golden palm slowly covered his crown.

Extreme fear left him speechless, his mouth agape, as the hand swept over him from all sides.

It was as if an immortal touched my head, granting me eternal life!

Snapped!
