Transcending Heavens: Starting with the Ancient Tomb Sect

Chapter 153 Their Own Goals!

At the moment when Guo Jing, the great hero, and Princess Huazheng happily reunited.

In contrast to the joy here, there are different experiences and feelings in other places.

Far away in Xiangyang in the south, Huang Rong, the female strategist who once called Yang Guo "Brother Jing," is currently conducting a job interview for new employees with Yang Guo.

As a newcomer, Yelü Qi was using the job introduction letter provided by his uncle Yue Que as a stepping stone to enter the Guo family mansion.

Of course, it is still called Guo Mansion for now.

After some time, at the appropriate time, it will be renamed Yang Mansion.

This was something that had been arranged before Guo Jing left.

In the hall, Huang Rong sat in the main seat, Yang Guo sat to the side as her son-in-law, and Yelü Qi sat respectfully below as a junior.

Yelü Qi was tall and handsome, with a refined and elegant demeanor.

That air of nobility about him was truly extraordinary.

Even Huang Rong herself couldn't help but admire it.

But because of this one glance, coupled with the secret letter Yue Que had written to Yang Guo, this first impression was etched in Huang Rong's mind. Although she...

I felt a sense of admiration, but a sense of vigilance also arose.

After all, he was the son of the prime minister and a descendant of the former Liao royal family.

More importantly, Yelü Qi in front of him is Zhou Botong's disciple and belongs to the same generation as the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

This identity further amplified Huang Rong's distrust.

In Huang Rong's view, Yue Que's decision to have the Red Serpent Fairy take his sister Yelü Yan as her disciple was, in a sense, a way of bringing the person who should have belonged to Jing Gege (Guo Jing's brother) under his son-in-law's control.

Whether it's a good match or not isn't important; what's important is not letting the other person have that feeling.

Would Huang Rong refuse for the sake of Guo Jing?

will not!

Now, Huang Rong feels extremely uncomfortable whenever she thinks of her beloved Jing-gege and his sister Hua Zheng being all lovey-dovey.

Even for the sake of his daughter and son-in-law, such a talented person would naturally not be allowed to stay in the north.

After all, the couple has separated their households now.

Huang Rong thought to herself, "Luckily, my precious daughter is already married to Yang Guo; otherwise, Yelü Qi would be a formidable enemy of Yang Guo."

Just as his mother-in-law began to question and test Yelü Qi's abilities, Yang Guo stroked his chin with one hand while scrutinizing Yelü Qi from head to toe.

Even Yang Guo had to admit that the other party's temperament was truly refined and elegant.

Yang Guo wasn't envious of this person, after all, he was the son of the Prime Minister, and that kind of temperament was something he had cultivated since childhood.

It's not surprising that most people can't do it.

Moreover, from Yelü Qi's previous exchange, Yang Guo also realized that the other party was highly skilled, far surpassing the Da Wu and Xiao Wu brothers.

This aura...it seems so familiar.

The more Yang Guo looked at Yelü Qi, the more familiar he felt with him. For a moment, Yang Guo couldn't recall what it was and almost thought he was imagining things.

At first, Yang Guo didn't understand why the other party called him "Shishu" (a respectful term for a senior brother). But when Yelü Qi also addressed his senior brother Yue Que as "Shishu," Yang Guo suddenly realized the reason.

"understood."

He has a similar temperament to his senior brother Yue Que from the Quanzhen Sect.

Once this was confirmed, Yang Guo's sense of vigilance instantly spiked. Although his senior brother Yue Que's refined demeanor, cultivated over twelve years, had been shattered by his aunt in the Ancient Tomb, it did not mean that his senior brother's fundamental character had been destroyed.

In Yang Guo's opinion, his senior brother Yue Que was actually giving up on himself.

Yelü Qi is like a junior brother who hasn't been thrown yet. If there are no surprises, his growth path will be the same as that of Yue Que, the senior brother of Quanzhen Sect, but shorter in every way.

Yelü Qi is indeed formidable.

He is a talented person.

Whether he has the talent to be a prime minister remains to be seen.

Yang Guo's mind worked quickly, and he immediately understood why Yelü Qi called him "Uncle-Master"—the other party wanted to discuss things separately, and his style of doing things was somewhat similar to his own, both of them were trying to survive and seek opportunities.

This is a pledge of allegiance.

Although Yelü Qi was cunning, he still had to consider how much more capable Yelü Qi and his mother-in-law were.

Just as Yang Guo and Huang Rong were figuring out how to use Yelü Qi, Huo Du and his fellow disciples Darba, far to the north, also encountered some problems.

Darba was extremely worried because his junior brother's problems seemed to be getting worse during the recent journey back north.

Under normal circumstances, Darba rarely showed signs of going astray in his cultivation. In the past, he had only heard from his master, the Golden Wheel Monk, that someone had gone mad and died while practicing the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill in its later stages.

But now this situation has occurred with my junior brother.

"Junior brother, it's alright."

Darba used his innate superhuman strength to hold his junior brother Huo Du, who was dressed in red, tightly, preventing him from going berserk while comforting him, "Calm down and circulate your internal energy."

Just now, Huo Du killed the doctor who was taking his pulse with a single sword stroke.

"?"

More puzzling than this was why his junior brother was like a furnace, radiating a scorching heat.

Looking to the side, one could see that Huo Du's face was flushed and covered in sweat.

Does our Buddhist Tantric sect have martial arts like this?

Darba was very confused.

Snapped!

With his longsword falling to the ground, Huo Du leaned quietly against his senior brother's chest, panting heavily as he closed his eyes to calm himself down and slowly soothe the explosive feeling within him.

Although he had sensed it beforehand, Huo Du was still shocked and furious when he learned about his physical condition from the doctor.

In a fit of rage, he drew his sword and killed the doctor.

Can you treat patients?

Don't you know the taboos?

Enraged, Huo Du's eyes turned bloodshot, and he wanted to kill all the soldiers around him.

It was only because Darba reacted quickly and forcibly hugged his junior brother that a large portion of this group would have died at Huodu's hands.

Why is this happening?

Huo Du was stunned into thought.

The little Mongolian prince couldn't help but grit his teeth when he thought of the culprit who had made him look like this, and the force made his teeth crunch.

In Huo Du's view, there are only two culprits.

One is the Little Dragon Girl who beat herself into this state, and the other is her good master, the Golden Wheel Monk.

Even if Huo Du had lost to Quanzhen or Ancient Tomb martial arts, there would have been nothing to say. However, he lost to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, which is why he ended up in his current state.

He got angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and the angrier he got, the more he thought about it.

Huo Du's emotions had initially been calmed by his senior brother Darba's actions, and he even began to consider things from his master's perspective. However, after the doctor thoroughly confirmed his physical condition today, Huo Du's emotions finally exploded.

for a long time.

Huo Du suddenly laughed, the laughter sounding smooth and soothing, but on Darba's face, which was not visible, there was no trace of a smile, only a frosty expression, as he said, "It's alright."

"Senior brother."

"It was just that Junior Brother was careless in circulating his internal energy, and his inner fire was excessive."

Huo Du then used a gentle voice to reassure his worried senior brother Darba, patting the arm that was holding him and subconsciously placing his hand on it, and continued, "Compared to that, junior brother is more worried about how to explain the defeat at Zhongnan."

Why directly shift the blame onto Master Jinlun Fawang?

It's possible, but Huo knew he couldn't do it.

Although he was a prince in name only, Huo Du was aware of the current situation at the top and knew that he might end up having to take the blame himself.

Even if the Golden Wheel Monk made a mistake, it would be his disciple who had to take the blame.

Because the second senior brother, Darba, took the blame, no one believed him.

When the struggle reached the point where the lives of the Prime Minister's family were at stake, Huo Du knew the situation was not good.

"???"

Although Darba was puzzled as to why his junior brother's hand was stroking his arm back and forth, he held on tightly, worried that his junior brother would go berserk again.

After all, in his impression, his junior brother was someone who liked to lie.

What if I let go, and my junior brother, who was lying to me, actually attacked me again?

As for the soldiers who were originally guarding the perimeter, they had long since left. As normal people, they had already noticed that something was wrong with Huo Du. In addition, the monk Darba was a bit dull-witted, so even if he noticed something, he didn't dare to say anything.

They could only express their doubts to each other with their eyes.

They were terrified that someone else might be killed by that little Mongolian prince if things went wrong.

"Tsk!"

Holding the crystal telescope that belonged exclusively to her senior sister Gongsun Lü'e, Yelü Yan looked at the scene before her and wished she could gouge out her own eyes.

She handed the binoculars to Wanyan Ping, then strolled down from the tower to the side and asked her senior brother Yue Que, "Senior brother, is this the experiment you're going to conduct?"

"right!"

Yue nodded, then smiled proudly, "The effect is pretty good, isn't it?"

To ensure the effect, Yue Que and Xiaolongnu even secretly used their lightness skills to run in front of Huo Du and Darba, continuously using the Soul Transfer Technique from the Nine Yin Manual.

For this purpose, the two also prepared a set of night clothes.

Once dressed in black, they truly appear and disappear without a trace.

In particular, the black-clad Little Dragon Girl exuded an extreme sense of oppression at night.

On the contrary, Li Mochou, the Red Serpent Fairy, who was known as the number one demon in the world, did not get involved in this matter.

In her opinion, the Mongolian prince was incredibly unlucky to have met his junior brother and sister; they were practically ruining him.

"A truly bizarre and mysterious manual."

Yelü Yan sighed, feeling that after gaining some understanding of her sect, she found it full of baffling things.

Yelü Yan often felt that she wasn't bad enough and couldn't get along with her senior brothers and sisters.

Then look at Senior Sister Gongsun Lü'e. At this moment, she is using a brush to record in detail the changes in Huodu over this period of time. Her upright attitude is even more serious and earnest than that of the historian.

Senior sisters Hong Lingbo and Lu Wushuang didn't pay much attention; they could simply refer to Gongsun Lüe's records when they needed to know.

What puzzled Yelü Yan was whether Huo Du was really just an experimental subject.

Or is the other party not just an experimental subject, but also a covert operation by the Quanzhen Sect targeting Buddhist Tantric Buddhism?

Or rather—

Yelü Yan recalled what her senior brother had told her second brother: the Golden Knife Prince Consort was about to return to the desert.

How can we smoothly incorporate Taoist techniques?

That would naturally mean that the problem lies with Tantric Buddhism itself.

Yelü Yan suddenly realized that her senior brothers were about to make a move against the Imperial Preceptor, the Golden Wheel Monk!

But when Yelü Yan thought of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, he felt that although the Golden Wheel Monk might not be in mortal danger, he would certainly suffer torment.

Logically speaking, the Golden Wheel Monk and the Yelü family are mortal enemies, but now Yelü Yan wants to see how her senior brother and uncle will torment each other.
