Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Yue Que remained silent, simply staring at Gongsun Zhi sprawled on the ground before him.

After observing for a while, Yue Que decided to retract his previous assessment.

Because Gongsun Zhi might be real sugar.

No.

If the original impression in his mind was that he was insidious and ruthless, then combined with this, Yue Que felt that the other party was only half sweet, so this could be considered a half-sweet philosophy?

Do you say he's not smart?

He's very smart!

But Gongsun Zhi believed the rumor of ten million taels.

Do you think it's ruthless?

He did not prepare any executioners when he ate.

Is that not ruthless?

Yet, he's also consumed by lust, planning to devour the ancient tomb whole?!

As for his caution, it's because he practiced the art of sealing acupoints for many years in the Valley of Heartbreak, eating vegetarian food like an ascetic. This martial art is difficult to learn but easy to break, yet in the end, it was broken by his own blood! If a person's gums become inflamed and cause problems, wouldn't that be the end of them?

This acupoint-closing technique is indeed powerful, but the cultivation process and the way it is broken make it difficult for Yue Que to maintain his composure.

Moreover, the Valley of Heartbreak is not completely cut off from the outside world. Because of his concern for his brother-in-law Qiu Qianren, Gongsun Zhi has always maintained contact with and kept track of the outside world.

But what information did we get...?

Aside from the most important events and sects, there is almost no other news, and people even take old news and rumors as fact.

Gongsun Zhi may have the air of a master, but he can also discard these things with remarkable ease.

That practiced sliding kneeling posture reminded Yue Que of the scene when he and his junior brother Yang Guo first entered the Ancient Tomb.

The feeling that Gongsun Zhi gave Yue Que was that this handsome middle-aged man was very strange, giving people a great sense of contradiction.

Yue Que looked down at the handsome middle-aged man in front of him, his face contorted with a ferocious expression—a hatred that came from the depths of his heart and soul.

Fortunately, it was Gongsun Zhi's own half-sweet conjecture that saved Yue Que from having to explain further. At this moment, the people from the ancient tomb were representing Gongsun Zhi's brother-in-law.

Seeing the indifference deliberately revealed on Yue Que's face, Gongsun Zhi was certain that his guess was correct.

really.

Gongsun Zhi had been worrying for over a decade, practicing martial arts with trepidation, living a life like an ascetic for a long time, and all his preparations were for this day.

But Gongsun Zhi never expected it to happen on this particular day.

Just as he decided to put his mind at ease and relax, a problem arose.

Caught off guard, he was captured in one move, and his own acupoint-sealing technique was broken by his own blood.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

The irony was overwhelming for Gongsun Zhi.

More importantly, besides the Gongsun family, probably only Qiu Qianchi's maternal family could understand her martial arts so well.

After all, he had received instruction and help from his wife, Qiu Qianchi, during his time learning martial arts from his family.

Only the Qiu family would know so much about their situation.

"Hey!"

Having seemingly confirmed that this group of outsiders had come because of his brother-in-law Qiu Qianren, Gongsun Zhi no longer had any intention of denying it. He ignored his daughter's astonished gaze and instead laughed as if he had given up entirely, "But so what? You won't find her!"

Faced with Gongsun Zhi's dying provocation, Yue Que merely moved his lips slightly and said something that only the two of them could hear, with his back to everyone else.

"!"

Gongsun Zhi's eyes widened in astonishment.

"Where is she?" Yue Que didn't give Gongsun Zhi much time to think, but instead chose to ask.

After a long silence, Gongsun Zhi finally lowered his brows and said, "Inside the cave."

"I suppose it's just a skeleton now!"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Lü'e was so shocked that she collapsed to the ground.

In fact, when her father began to question her, Gongsun Lü'e had a very bad feeling.

When Gongsun Zhi revealed his mother's condition, Gongsun Lü'e felt her head spinning, as if the sky were falling. She had always believed her mother had died of illness, but hearing her father's words shattered her heart.

the first time.

Gongsun Lü'e felt that her father was a complete stranger.

The group from the Ancient Tomb, who had taken control of the situation, immediately made their move. Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang guarded their surroundings, while Xiaolongnu stood in the center to prevent any unexpected events.

Yue Que stood still without moving, instead scanning Gongsun Lü'e with a peculiar gaze.

With the most experience in the martial arts world, the Red Serpent Fairy led the attack on behalf of the Ancient Tomb and quickly located the cave.

After finding a long enough rope, he leaped into the cave.

With Li Mochou's current abilities, there is no danger for her in the underground cave.

Even if the Red Serpent Fairy from the original story were here, with her experience, she would surely be able to handle it with ease.

As for the crocodiles that Gongsun Zhi kept in the cave, if they were to face the Red Serpent Fairy, who had cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, baring their teeth at her, they would probably be killed with a single punch.

As for Qiu Qianchi, who lives in the cave by relying on jujubes, she shouldn't even think about throwing a tantrum at the Red Serpent Fairy, otherwise, given her master's temperament, she has plenty of strength and means.

The Crimson Fairy doesn't care if you're crippled or not; she'll still beat you without hesitation.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Just as Yue Que was contemplating that the process would take longer than he had anticipated, there was movement at the exit of the cave.

With a whooshing sound, the Crimson Fairy, carrying a small, huddled figure, flew out of the cave using ropes.

As soon as she came out and led the person to the main hall, Fairy Chilian carelessly tossed the small, thin figure onto the ground with obvious disgust.

"!"

Upon closer inspection, Yue Que saw that the slender figure thrown in front of Gongsun Lü'e was none other than Gongsun Zhi's wife—the former "Iron Palm Lotus" Qiu Qianchi.

However, Iron Palm Lotus had long lost her former beauty. Her limbs and meridians had been severed, rendering her useless. In addition, she had spent fourteen years in the cave, relying on dates to prolong her life, and she was extremely thin.

With disheveled hair and bloodshot eyes, his gaze toward everyone was so sinister and bloodthirsty, as if he wanted to devour and kill them all.

Due to malnutrition, his face was sunken, and coupled with his bloodthirsty expression and uncontrollable hatred, he seemed more like a demon still lingering among humans than a living person.

What truly caught Yue Que's attention was the two palm prints on Qiu Qianchi's cheeks, indicating that she had been slapped by Fairy Chilian during the rescue.

Qiu Qianchi's hateful and venomous gaze swept over everyone, then her eyes narrowed and landed on Gongsun Lü'e: "Daughter, my daughter!" After saying that, she twisted her lower body and turned towards Gongsun Lü'e.

"mother!"

Gongsun Lü'e stopped crying at this moment, but when she saw her mother's current appearance, her heart ached. She rushed forward, hugged her mother, and the two of them burst into tears.

When Gongsun Zhi, who was paralyzed in the distance, saw that Qiu Qianchi was still alive, he was shocked and his face was filled with fear and dread. However, these emotions eventually turned into a hateful gaze with a mocking tone.

Even the gaze he gave to his daughter, Gongsun Lü'e, lacked its former tenderness.

"Gongsun Zhi!!!"

After crying for a while, Qiu Qianchi's gaze finally fell on Gongsun Zhi, who was lying in the distance. Her voice was shrill and mournful, like the mournful cry of a cuckoo: "So this is what you've come to be?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiu Qianchi's gaze met Gongsun Zhi's. That look made her furious. She opened her mouth and shot a date pit towards Gongsun Zhi's eye.

boom!

A date pit collided with a wine glass in mid-air.

The jujube pit was shattered by the immense force of the impact, and both turned into powder that fell to the ground.

"!!!"

Finding her attack being deliberately blocked, Qiu Qianchi subconsciously turned her head and looked at Yue Que with her bloodshot eyes. Upon seeing the handsome young man, she couldn't help but think of Gongsun Zhi's appearance when he was young. Anger welled up in her heart, and under the influence of double anger, she said without thinking, "Guards, drag this person away and kill him."

That arrogant attitude swept over everything.

Gongsun Lü'e quickly hugged her mother, comforting her while apologizing, "Young Master Yue, I'm so sorry."

"My mother thought that in the past, when she got angry she liked to scold people or even kill them."

"Furthermore, it is because we have not seen the light of day for so long that we have made such an unwise move. Please forgive us."

As a daughter, Gongsun Lü'e always understood her mother's temperament.

So you kill people when you get angry?

Yue Que felt sorry for Gongsun Lü'e, caught in the middle, but he had no patience for Qiu Qianchi, that devilish woman. He pointed directly at the Red Serpent Fairy and said, "Madam Qiu, is that right?"

Let me explain it to you again.

"This is none other than the renowned Red Serpent Fairy in the martial arts world."

"She gets angry if she doesn't kill someone!"

One sentence was enough to send a chill down Gongsun Lü'e's spine.

"..."

When the Red Serpent Fairy heard her junior disciple's introduction, although she had a thousand words in her heart, she still raised her whisk and struck a cold pose, especially her gaze towards Qiu Qianchi, which was filled with coldness.

In fact, the reputation of the Red Serpent Fairy has spread so widely that it's almost reached the point where she can stop a child from crying.

Qiu Qianchi was immediately stunned.

She could clearly feel the murderous intent in the eyes of this ruthless and beautiful Taoist nun, especially since she had just fought with her in the cave and had been slapped twice.

Especially after her daughter briefly described what the other party had done, particularly the massacre of the family and the theft of silver, Qiu Qianchi felt that her second brother, Qiu Qianren, was somewhat unreliable in his search for the missing person.

This is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

Her lips moved slightly, but Qiu Qianchi didn't say anything. Instead, she focused her attention on Gongsun Zhi, forcibly suppressing her intention to attack again. Meeting his disgusted gaze, she said, "Gongsun Zhi, you went to great lengths to sever the tendons in my limbs and even threw me into the underground cave, all for revenge against that lowly servant girl named Rou'er, wasn't it?"

"Oh!"

With a sneer, Gongsun Zhi slammed his chin on the ground and gave Qiu Qianchi a mocking smile: "That's right."

A lowly servant is a lowly servant.

Even now, Qiu Qianchi still can't understand why Gongsun Zhi would have an affair with a maid!

Moreover, she was a maidservant who was inferior to her in appearance, background, knowledge, and so on.

When he was discovered, Gongsun Zhi even personally stabbed the lowly maid to death, but that doesn't necessarily show him much affection.

Qiu Qianchi decided to get to the bottom of things, so she slowly recounted what had happened, from the perspective of the person involved.

While Yue Que and the others were pondering this story, Qiu Qianchi directly asked, "That lowly servant Rou'er is inferior to me in every way, why did you cheat on me with her? And why did you even try to harm me?"

Finally, Qiu Qianchi retorted mockingly, "Is it just because she's a maid that her words sound pleasant?"

"Isn't this enough?"

In response to Qiu Qianchi's sarcasm, Gongsun Zhi roared with all his might, in a defiant tone, "That's enough!"

These words immediately stunned Qiu Qianchi, who felt that the truth was too absurd.

Gongsun Lü'e, the daughter of the two, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

The onlookers fell silent, a rare occurrence for them.

Yue Que frowned and pondered, as if he had something on his mind.
