Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Chapter 114 People in the Same boat

While the Ancient Tomb Sect, far away in the Zhongnan Mountains, was putting on a show, another disciple who had been living away from home, the Dragon Hero Yang Guo, also kept up with his skills.

However, due to an unexpected event, the Dragon Hero was not in the mood for any funny antics today.

It wasn't the news from Aunt Guo that stirred his mind about the Ancient Tomb Sect's antics in Zhongnan Mountain, but rather his astonishment at how his senior master, the Red Serpent Fairy, could fight against a thousand men single-handedly.

Yang Guo was more concerned about whether he could gain control of this method.

But what truly made Yang Guo temporarily lose his desire to cause trouble was the current situation.

backyard.

Guo Fu was dragged out by Da Wu and Xiao Wu at her mother's signal, along with the giant python.

On the contrary, Yang Guo, who seemed to be an outsider for the time being, stayed behind.

Yang Guo, wearing a mask, stood against the wall, standing there silently and without saying a word.

Beside him, Aunt Guo stood quietly.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she was staring blankly at the flowers in front of her.

"Ah~~~ Roar~"

Hearing the heart-wrenching cries emanating from the courtyard and room, Yang Guo felt a touch of sorrow seep into his very being.

His voice was hoarse, as if he had a burning ember in his mouth.

The feeling of being suppressed to the extreme, wanting to hold back, but ultimately failing to hold back, and even the cries that came out were out of tune.

But it was this crying that directly impacted Yang Guo's heart.

There is no other reason.

The one crying loudly in the room was none other than the old blind man, Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e, whom Yang Guo had always disliked.

the first time.

Yang Guo wondered: What could possibly make that annoying, stubborn, blind old man utter such a mournful sound?

"Guo'er!"

Huang Rong, who had been staring blankly at the flowers with her head down, suddenly spoke up, saying softly, "I know you hate Master, but Guo'er, do you even know what kind of person he is?"

Back on Peach Blossom Island, Yang Guo clashed with Ke Zhen'e. Especially given Yang Guo's background, his mastery of the Toad Stance from the Western Poison, and his foul mouth, he seemed to be hitting every nerve that Ke Zhen'e disliked.

Of course, at that time, it could be said that they hit Huang Rong's sweet spot.

They were just harboring resentment towards each other.

However, the past was the past, and the present is the present.

Life is unpredictable.

"Um?"

Yang Guo looked at Aunt Guo in surprise, wondering why she would bring up such a topic.

Yang Guo was genuinely interested in the past of this foul-mouthed and stubborn old blind man. In Yang Guo's opinion, if the old blind man hadn't been hiding in the Guo family mansion and under Uncle Guo's protection, he would probably have been beaten to death long ago.

Yang Guo also felt that Guo Fu's sharp tongue, which came out without thinking, was influenced by the old blind man Ke Zhen'e.

Seeing the change in Yang Guo's eyes, Huang Rong knew that he had become interested.

Her smile held a bittersweet glimpse of remembrance.

Instead of directly recounting the story of the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, Huang Rong posed a question: "Guo'er, who do you think is the true hero of the world today?"

"Uncle Guo!"

Yang Guo blurted it out almost immediately, then thought for a moment and added, "Senior Hong also counts."

At that moment, Hong Qigong, the former leader of the Beggars' Sect, was also at the Guo residence, but he had gone to the outer hall beforehand and was not in the backyard.

"No!"

However, to Yang Guo's surprise, Aunt Guo rejected his answer and gave him a completely unexpected one: "If there is only one true hero in the world, then that hero can only be my master—the Flying Bat Ke Zhen'e!"

How is that possible?

Yang Guo immediately lowered his arms, thinking, "Just look at that foul-mouthed old blind man!"

At that moment, Yang Guo almost thought that Aunt Guo was joking.

Uncle Guo and Hong Qigong both seem to be far more qualified than the old blind man. We can't just say such nice things because the old blind man is Uncle Guo's master, can we?

But upon closer reflection, Yang Guo realized that Aunt Guo wasn't that kind of person.

As Madam Guo and the leader of the Beggars' Sect, the fact that she placed Ke Zhen'e before Guo Jing and Hong Qigong shows that she had her own reasons.

At this point, Yang Guo became completely interested.

Seeing that she had stirred up Guo'er's thoughts, the female strategist's lips curled up slightly, but she didn't continue. Instead, she decided to press on: "Guo'er, you are now also the famous Divine Dragon Hero."

"What should you do if you witness injustice?"

"When you see injustice on the road, you should draw your sword to help!" Yang Guo gave the most standard answer as a great hero.

"What if that injustice is far away?"

"That depends on whether time and distance permit," Yang Guo replied hesitantly, "but I will still do it."

"What if this injustice happened to the poorest people, the 'ants' at the very bottom of society?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Yang Guo was shocked. His gaze fell in astonishment as he looked towards the room where the wailing was still emanating, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Could it be!!!"

"That's right, Guo'er."

"That's it." Huang Rong nodded, confirming Yang Guo's guess, and said, "Even Brother Jing and Master Qi couldn't do that."

"Our master doesn't just do that one thing occasionally; he does it day after day. Wherever there is injustice, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan will be there. No matter how strong or weak the enemy is, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan treat everyone equally."

Under Yang Guo's bright gaze, Huang Rong, from the perspective of Guo Jing and the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, slowly told Yang Guo a slightly modified version of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

for a long time.

The story has come to an end.

The wailing in the room had gradually subsided.

"Before today, the master had only cried once in his entire life."

"That's because my father, Huang Yaoshi, was wronged; he was biased and wrongly blamed his benefactor."

"Even when other masters died tragically, or when Brother Jing faced a desperate situation, the eldest master would only feel extremely grief-stricken, trembling, and choking up, but he would never shed a tear or cry out loud."

"And today is only the second time in the Master's life that he has cried out loud, and it is far more sorrowful than the first time."

"I have never seen a man so heartbroken and desperate."

As Guo's wife, Huang Rong certainly knew what kind of person Ke Zhen'e was. He was an extremely stubborn person, and his words and temper disregarded men, women, children, and the weak, treating everyone equally.

Even such a tough man could only cry helplessly after Huang Rong made her request.

That was the first time a man who had been stubborn his whole life had softened his stance.

For the first time, the flying bat Ke Zhen'e admitted his incompetence, his uselessness, and his lack of backbone. He could barely even beat the drum anymore, and his old bones couldn't withstand the overwhelming pressure.

That was a man who upheld chivalry with unwavering integrity throughout his life, only to witness the terrifying truth of the world after he went blind.

But the Flying Bat cannot deny its own code of chivalry.

Ke Zhen'e didn't blame Guo Jing or Huang Rong; he only blamed himself for being useless.

When Huang Rong left the room, she left Jing-gege to accompany her master. The moment she closed the door, she saw his once straight body hunched over.

Yang Guo opened his mouth, but inwardly he was starting to look at this annoying blind man with new respect.

At this moment, an inexplicable emotion was gripping Yang Guo's heart tightly, making him feel an overwhelming sense of suffocation.

As a man, Yang Guo felt a sense of empathy at that moment.

Although he still disliked him, it didn't stop Yang Guo from respecting the old blind man, and he had unconsciously ranked him first in his heart.

Looking at Aunt Guo again, her eyes were red and her face was full of sorrow. She didn't seem to be much better off than Ke Zhen'e, the flying bat.

Yang Guo originally wanted to ask if his father, Yang Kang, was mentioned in the story of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes." It was clear that Yang Guo could tell that Aunt Guo had left something unsaid, but now he felt that it was not the right time.

So, here comes the problem.

Who in this world could possibly force Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo to make such a choice?

Let Uncle Guo return to the desert and become the Golden Knife Prince Consort again.

Even more so, Aunt Guo, as the aggrieved party, personally arranged this matter!

This familiar feeling —

Noticing the change in Yang Guo's eyes, Huang Rong gave him a bitter smile and said in a hoarse voice, "That's right, just as you think, Guo'er."

"This is the masterpiece of your esteemed senior brother and master—the golden boy and jade girl."

"Even I, Huang Rong, a female Zhuge Liang, have to admit defeat to those two."

When Huang Rong got to this point, she was already gritting her teeth, wishing she could bite the other person to death.

She had considered taking action against the Ancient Tomb Sect, but after learning from Yang Guo that their sect was located in the forbidden area of ​​Quanzhen and that its members were all orphans without parents, she felt something was amiss.

Because of Zhou Botong, the two sides met again to discuss the massacre of the Xiangyang family. Huang Rong invited Lu Wushuang in order to carry out a trial sabotage, but unfortunately Lu Wushuang gave Huang Rong the most desperate answer.

Furthermore, after Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, was surrounded and captured, he was at the mercy of his opponents, and Huang Rong was already half-numb at that time.

The people in the ancient tomb are skilled in light-footed martial arts, but they also lack martial ethics.

Under these circumstances, Huang Rong didn't even dare to let her father, Huang Yaoshi, know, for fear that her father would also be surrounded.

What completely numbed her was the message that arrived from the Quanzhen Sect via carrier pigeon the day before yesterday.

The Crimson Fairy fought against a thousand men single-handedly, killing all one thousand cavalrymen.

That leisurely and unhurried approach finally completely stunned the female strategist Quan Zhi.

Huang Rong had fought in the army and knew very well what a thousand cavalrymen meant.

After some research and analysis, Huang Rong discovered that the fundamental goal of the Golden Boy and Jade Girl might not be to save the world, but rather to do something incidentally in the process.

What is the real purpose?

Not sure.

The only thing we learned was that, through the transaction, it was discovered that the Golden Boy and Jade Girl were interested in divine martial arts techniques.

Surely we can't do something as important as saving the world for such a small goal?

The Ancient Tomb Sect is truly an invincible sect with invincible people.

The only way to deal with them is to capture them all at once.

Otherwise, don't even think about it.

the first time.

Huang Rong felt that even with three Five Greats-level masters in her home, she was still not safe at all.

The female strategist was genuinely afraid.

She felt that the former Central Divine was indeed worthy of being called the number one in the world, and Huang Rong acknowledged it.

This ranking will remain open; everyone else can only compete for second place.

Now that Wang Chongyang is dead, the Quanzhen Sect can no longer control the Ancient Tomb Sect, and all sorts of demons and monsters have come out.

That night at Dasheng Pass, Huang Rong shouldn't have met with that "golden boy and jade girl" (a term used to describe a perfect couple). Otherwise, none of this would have happened. At worst, she would have stayed with her brother Guo Jing to defend Xiangyang, only to perish together when the city fell.

Yang Guo looked at his somewhat frantic Aunt Guo and gave an awkward smile, unsure of what to say.

Whether it was a shared sorrow leading to tears or the urge to laugh at someone who was even worse off than him, the sudden shift in Yang Guo's mindset made his face feel sore.

Thankfully, I'm still wearing the mask, otherwise—
