Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

The truth is so simple that it's surprising.

Qiu Qianchi didn't understand.

Gongsun Lü'e was puzzled.

Little Dragon Girl frowned in deep thought.

The Crimson Serpent Fairy seemed to understand something and began to recall her past.

On the contrary, Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang did not have so many thoughts.

It was at this moment that Yue Que understood everything.

Gongsun Zhi's words immediately silenced the room, while his roaring reply restored the atmosphere to normal.

"..."

For some reason, Qiu Qianchi was only focused on her daughter at the moment and didn't have the mind to confront Gongsun Zhi. Instead, she instructed, "Daughter, let's tidy up the situation in the valley first."

"Thank you all for saving my life."

After turning around and speaking a few polite words to Yue Que and the others in a soft voice, he looked visibly tired.

Especially after observing the changes in her daughter's expression, she seemed to be deep in thought.

Therefore, the responsibility of managing the entire Valley of Heartbreak fell to Qiu Qianchi.

As for Gongsun Zhi, that was naturally handled by Yue Que and others.

In the blink of an eye, Qiu Qianchi remotely controlled the situation from her daughter in a unique way, showcasing her prowess as the "Iron Palm Lotus".

Naturally, the Valley of Heartbreak was once again brought under the control of the Qiu family, replacing the Gongsun family.

Even though she had disappeared for fourteen years, Qiu Qianchi's influence in the valley had not completely dissipated.

With the arrangements made, Yue Que and the others also released the pressure points of the others.

Especially the disciples of the Valley of Heartbreak, they seemed to be waiting for the final outcome between Gongsun Zhi and Qiu Qianchi, the couple.

It now seems that Qiu Qianchi's chances of winning have increased significantly, and those who are loyal to Gongsun Zhi have also started to have other ulterior motives.

Although the story of this couple did not have as great an impact on Gongsun Lü'e, it still had a significant impact on the servants.

They are also waiting for the results.

Only the performance of Gongsun Zhi's chief disciple, Fan Yiweng, surprised Yue Que.

After his acupoints were released, he seemed to say nothing or make any preparations. Instead, he followed his junior sister, Gongsun Lü'e.

During this process, Yue Que also went to the women's side and made relevant arrangements.

Yue Que directly assigned the task of speaking with Qiu Qianchi to his senior martial uncle, Li Mochou.

After more than a decade of torment in darkness, Qiu Qianchi's arrogance would be amplified to an extreme, and such a person would need to be dealt with by the Red Serpent Fairy.

After all, my senior master has enough strength and skills.

Moreover, Qiu Qianchi also has her own theories on creating skills, and in a certain respect, she shares some common ground with the Red Serpent Fairy.

Hong Lingbo and her junior sister Lu Wushuang were also assigned tasks.

Master Long'er was assigned an even more important task by Yue Que. She not only needed to act as a pillar of stability, but also to appease the eagle brother who was guarding the entrance.

As for Qiu Qianchi's true reliance, Qiu Qianren is actually what Chi Lian Fairy is more worried about, but Yue Que has a solution to this.

Dealing with the other party is simple; just have that little lecher Zhou Botong kill them, and that will solve everything.

This is killing several birds with one stone.

After everything was arranged and tidied up, the grand feast in the valley was held again.

This time, the tension from the previous incident of smashing a cup as a signal was gone, and on the surface, things seemed perfectly harmonious.

After dinner, Fairy Chilian went to see Qiu Qianchi, while Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang went to chat with Gongsun Lüe.

After nightfall, Xiaolongnu transformed into the Ancient Tomb Maiden and, aided by the Nine Yin Manual's Soul Transfer Technique, drifted out of the Valley of Heartbreak like a ghost to meet her eagle brother.

Meanwhile, Yue Que carried a pot of wine to the woodshed where Gongsun Zhi was imprisoned.

In the woodshed.

Upon entering, Yue Que saw Fan Yiweng, Gongsun Zhi's chief disciple, attentively feeding his master with food and drink. These things were prepared by him as a disciple, and also arranged by Gongsun Lü'e, his daughter.

Upon seeing Yue Que enter the woodshed, Fan Yiweng immediately stood up, becoming alert and on guard.

Even though he was no match for him and had been captured in one move, Fan Yiweng showed no fear whatsoever. He held his iron staff horizontally in front of his chest, giving him a look reminiscent of the flying bat Ke Zhen'e.

"Old man, step down."

Seeing this, Gongsun Zhi gestured to his chief disciple, Fan Yiweng.

"yes!"

Fan Yiweng's gaze lingered on Yue Que for a while before he obediently listened to his master and left the woodshed. However, he did not go far but stayed at a distance to guard against any accidents.

"You have a good disciple and a good daughter!"

Yue Que watched Fan Yiweng's departing figure, and only after seeing the other party carefully close the wooden gate did he speak up in praise.

"ha!"

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Zhi couldn't help but laugh. Despite having his skills broken and becoming a prisoner, he displayed a rare grandmaster's demeanor, and that contradictory feeling that surprised Yue Que reappeared.

It seems like they've given up on everything again.

Meeting Yue Que's scrutinizing gaze, Gongsun Zhi, though displeased with the young man, knew his own predicament and asked, "Young Master Yue, was what you said earlier true?"

"Yes."

"I will have Qiu Qianren killed."

Yue nodded firmly and said, "I wouldn't lie about that."

"By the way, let's have a good talk."

Yue Que decided to strike at Gongsun Zhi's heart.

"???"

Gongsun Zhi looked puzzled, then saw Yue Que plop down next to him and casually pour him a cup of wine, feeding him in a strange way, like old friends meeting again.

Where there's wine, there are bound to be stories.

This action left Gongsun Zhi feeling confused, making him think that the young man in front of him was very contradictory.

But what bothered Gongsun Zhi even more was that the other party's gaze towards him suddenly became very pitying, which made Gongsun Zhi extremely disgusted.

After Yue Que understood, his gaze toward Gongsun Zhi was filled with pity.

If Yue Que realized he had been scammed as soon as he stepped into the ancient tomb, he knew that there was definitely more than one such park in the world.

Upon arriving at the Valley of Heartbreak, Yue Que realized that it was a place comparable to an ancient tomb.

Just like in the Ancient Tomb, apart from Gongsun Zhi's talent in martial arts, this Valley of Heartbreak is a true example of a situation where the woman is stronger than the man.

Or it could be described as one of the final stages of the normal development of ancient tombs.

The Gongsun family has lived in the Valley of Heartbreak for generations and has very little contact with the outside world. Gongsun Zhi's initial image was probably similar to that of Miss Guo Fu, possessing a clear-headed naiveté.

How could a simple-minded young master from a martial arts family, who was practically living in seclusion, have ever seen such a top-notch beauty as Iron Palm Lotus?

In particular, Qiu Qianchi entered the Valley of Heartbreak as a chivalrous woman chasing down enemies, and Gongsun Zhi was immediately defeated in a single encounter.

Everyone says that Qiu Qianchi was unlucky in her choice of husband, but now it's hard to say who was truly unlucky in their choice!

Because the three Qiu siblings were so arrogant and domineering, each one more outrageous than the last.

Take Huang Rong's good-for-nothing daughter, Guo Fu, for example; she couldn't even come close to Qiu Qianchi.

Just as Gongsun Zhi was getting annoyed by Yue Que's gaze and was about to lose his temper, Yue Que's words immediately extinguished his anger.

"Master Gongsun, isn't your daughter Gongsun Lü'e's current image, temperament, and character the Iron Palm Lotus Qiu Qianchi you envisioned?"

Although it was a question, Yue Que's tone was full of certainty.

Because Gongsun Lü'e's appearance is actually almost identical to that of Iron Palm Lotus in her youth.

Seeing his daughter was like seeing his wife, Qiu Qianchi.

It's easy to imagine the effort and thought Gongsun Zhi put into raising his daughter, Gongsun Lü'e, to be so well-educated and refined, like a pure white lotus.

This means that the current image of Gongsun Lü'e is the one Gongsun Zhi truly admires.

As for the real "white moonlight" Iron Palm Lotus, it's all black when you cut it open.

This is also why, in the original novel, even Yang Guo felt pity for Gongsun Zhi.

More importantly, in Yue Que's view, Gongsun Zhi did not treat Gongsun Lü'e as a daughter at all, but only as a "white moonlight" to be nurtured.

Therefore, when this nurtured "white moonlight" showed signs of turning into a "black lotus," Gongsun Zhi did something that left even the notoriously ruthless Red Lotus Fairy speechless—he decided to kill his daughter.

To outsiders, it was patricide. Even tigers don't eat their cubs, but Gongsun Zhi lowered the bar.

But for Gongsun Zhi, he didn't feel like he was killing his daughter; rather, he felt like he was killing that black iron-palm lotus.

This man killed his lover Rou'er under Qiu Qianchi's coercion, and went completely mad the moment he retaliated by severing Qiu Qianchi's meridians and pushing her into the ground.

The current Gongsun Zhi is nothing more than a humanoid creature wearing a human skin, clinging to certain things he cannot forget.

Gongsun Lü'e truly exemplifies the saying, "Even bad bamboo produces good shoots."

Although in some ways it seems like Gongsun Zhi deliberately created it.

"Longing is the emotion furthest from understanding!"

"These words are for you, Valley Master Gongsun!"

With just one sentence, Yue Que snapped the string in Gongsun Zhi's heart.

The handsome middle-aged man suddenly broke down, tears streaming down his face, looking as aggrieved as a dog.
