Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Fragrant!

It smells so good!

So delicious!

Yang Guo ordered half a table of dishes by himself. Although they were all ordinary home-style dishes and not particularly lavish, the staple food was nothing more than unleavened steamed buns.

But when it fell into Yang Guo's hands, he ate at least half of it in one bite, enjoying it immensely.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Guo had eaten most of the six large, solid steamed buns, along with the other dishes.

Tsk tsk tsk!!!

Such eating and drinking left the other diners in the inn, who were eating nearby, dumbfounded.

Is the food at this run-down inn really that good?

You should know that the food at this inn is the worst in the area. The fact that this handsome young man is eating with such relish makes one wonder if they're being presumptuous.

Looking at the other person, dressed in ordinary farm clothes, he looked fair-skinned and delicate, but did not seem like a farmer's son.

The contradiction makes it even more perplexing.

However, what the surrounding diners could be sure of was that the handsome young man was very happy; his eyes were smiling, and even onlookers couldn't help but feel happy.

It makes you want to ask the person why they're so happy, and if they can share their joy!

"ha!"

Yang Guo drank a bowl of plain water in one gulp, and after taking a long breath, he felt a sense of ease and comfort emanating from his entire body.

After Yang Guo's belly swelled up and he let out a satisfied burp, the table was a complete mess.

"Waiter, check please."

Yang Guo took out some loose silver from his pocket and placed it on the table. After the waiter gave him his change, he took the copper coins and left the inn, heading towards the place where he was currently living in seclusion.

Yang Guo did not go directly to Xiangyang. He had the idea when he first left the ancient tomb, but he suppressed it.

Because Yang Guo discovered that his senior brother hadn't lied to him about this issue, during his escape, Yang Guo was constantly absorbing and analyzing relevant information about Uncle Guo's family.

Although he didn't really understand the greater good of the nation and its people deep down, Yang Guo, who had suffered a major setback while being self-centered, was now able to see things more clearly.

Because he was able to see things objectively, Yang Guo actually discovered that Uncle Guo didn't have many options.

However, this discovery also made Yang Guo even more wary of his senior brother Yue Que, even more so than of his aunt Xiaolongnu.

This is roughly what is meant by knowing everything under the world without leaving the mountains.

In Yang Guo's memory, the first person who could leave such an impression was someone he knew from stories he heard when he was a child, namely Zhuge Liang, who could "foresee future events" and "predict good and bad fortune".

Although my senior brother Yue Que cannot reach the level of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, he is still very formidable.

The only difference is that what's frightening about the aunt is her indifferent nature, while what's frightening about the senior brother is his scheming.

For Yang Guo, the scheming was out in the open. His senior brother Yue Que once said that everything he did was to become stronger.

This applies to entering ancient tombs, and even more so to exiting them.

Therefore, Yang Guo believed that the best thing he did in the Ancient Tomb was to give up the opportunity to cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra to his senior brother, thus completely locking up his senior brother and aunt.

They became a golden couple that the world envied.

If it were him, Yang Guo couldn't imagine what that scene would be like.

That's absolutely terrifying.

Yang Guo subconsciously touched his forehead, where it still throbbed slightly. Even now, he was still subconsciously afraid of what he had experienced when he first entered the Ancient Tomb.

He and his senior brother Yue Que were both genuinely beaten by their aunt, Xiaolongnu.

Sometimes Yang Guo would wonder if his current senior brother Yue had become like that because of the problems caused by his aunt's repeated falls.

The problem is that Yang Guo only knew once what it meant to be a wise man when he could adapt to circumstances; but his senior brother Yue Que was not like that, stubborn and headstrong.

The Ancient Tomb Sect fears nothing, and excels at eradicating these bad habits.

A beautiful woman's fist, delivered with delicate hands, will teach you what rules are.

Since then, Senior Brother Yue Que has started to act strangely little by little.

It was for this reason that Yang Guo believed his senior brother Yue Que had completely fallen into depravity after practicing the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra.

But is that thing really that comfortable?

Occasionally, Yang Guo would involuntarily conjure up the scene in front of the stone carving in the depths of his mind. Although he had never seen it with his own eyes, he could fill in the gaps in his imagination.

Then it was overwhelmed and replaced by fear.

Under this terrifying pressure, Yang Guo spent almost all his time sleeping during the day and working at night on his way to Xiangyang, and he also devoted a great deal of time to practicing martial arts.

The Nine Yin Manual and the Toad Skill are of paramount importance.

The reason for Yang Guo's current happiness is that he has made remarkable progress in his martial arts training.

Yang Guo didn't gain much insight while in the ancient tomb, but after emerging, he discovered that he could at least be considered a genius. Compared to his time in the tomb, his martial arts skills had improved significantly.

"I hope my aunt and senior brother can slow down and enjoy the scenery of the Song Dynasty while traveling."

Yang Guo sincerely offered his blessings to the two, after all, he had played a small part in the rumors of them being a perfect couple.

That was the filial piety of a disciple and fellow student.

We need to stay far away from Xiangyang and Dasheng Pass.

Just as Yang Guo was preparing to return to his residence to resume his martial arts training, a piece of news suddenly reached his ears.

"Um?"

"What did you just say?"

Yang Guo stopped walking, grabbed a passerby, and asked, his tone filled with anxiety.

"Oh? It's said that the treasury of Xiangyang was robbed by a group of notorious bandits known as snakes, and millions of taels of silver have vanished without a trace." The man whose arm was being grabbed saw that Yang Guo was a handsome young man. Although he was somewhat displeased, his desire to share gossip was stirring deep inside him, so he brought up this rumor that was about to spread throughout the martial arts world again in front of Yang Guo.

"Now the Mongols are getting restless, and so much treasury silver has been stolen. I'm afraid Xiangyang won't be able to hold out much longer."

"What notorious bandit? That's a monster, a snake demon!" someone nearby objected, directly refuting the claim and stating the truth they had overheard: "Several million taels of silver—that's an enormous fortune! How could a normal person possibly carry that?"

"Only monsters could be involved, after all, there are women involved." This person who retorted was somewhat intelligent. Although he didn't know exactly how much several million taels was, he probably knew that it was a mountain of gold and a sea of ​​silver.

It is absolutely impossible for a normal person to get it out of the heavily guarded Xiangyang warehouse.

Those martial arts practitioners who can move freely and skillfully won't do; it has to be a monster!

"Using a snake as a code name... what kind of code name is that?" Yang Guo ignored the amount of silver and went straight to the key point.

"Oh, it seems to be something like White Dragon and Crimson Serpent, basically a bunch of snake names..."

Yang Guo couldn't hear anything that followed; his mind was filled with code names like "White Dragon" and "Red Serpent."

My aunt and senior brother indeed went to Xiangyang.

Fortunately, I didn't go to Xiangyang, where they were lying in wait for me.

Yang Guo wasn't surprised by anything these two were capable of; only they could act with such impunity. If they could treat him, Yang Guo, like a nobody, what about others? The only surprise was—his martial uncle had joined forces with them?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

As if remembering something, Yang Guo's expression changed drastically.

"Uncle Guo..."

After a struggle with his emotions, Yang Guo finally made a decision and prepared to set off for Dasheng Pass.

He wasn't doubting Aunt Guo's intelligence and methods, but rather that facing two people, including her senior brother and aunt who had no bottom line, Aunt Guo probably wouldn't be a match for them.
