Yang Guo travels back in time to become Duan Yu, a different kind of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.

Chapter 84 The ringleader flees, the three villains enter the ranks.

"Hehehe————"

A low, mournful laugh rang out from Duan Yanqing's throat. His vocal cords had already been damaged during the rebellion, and now, as he forced himself to speak, his voice was filled with indescribable absurdity.

"Fate plays tricks on me, fate plays tricks on me. I've schemed and plotted, but in the end, I'm stuck on the issue of blood ties."

He slowly suppressed the madness in his eyes, raised his gaze to Yang Guo, his expression complex, and slowly uttered in his ventriloquism: "Fine, fine, you recognize blood ties but not sins. I won't force you to acknowledge your father, much less force you to seize any throne. But the heinous crimes I've committed must have an end."

Yang Guo asked, "What are your plans?"

"I will no longer wield my sword against Dali, nor will I instigate further feuds in the martial world. However, my hands are stained with blood, and I cannot simply drift away like this. Tianlong Temple is the ancestral home of the Duan family. I am willing to go there to meet Master Kurong and submit to the judgment of Tianlong Temple. Whether it is imprisonment or punishment with asceticism, I am willing to accept it."

Yang Guo was slightly taken aback, not expecting him to make such a choice.

"However," Duan Yanqing changed the subject, his gaze fixed on Yang Guo, "you must not reveal a single word about your background today. If it gets out, not only will your reputation be ruined, but the Zhennan Prince's Mansion and the entire Dali Duan family will be thrown into turmoil."

Dali can no longer withstand a rebellion like the one of those years.

His obsession had largely subsided, and he was no longer fixated on reclaiming the throne. He began to consider the issue from Crown Prince Yanqing's perspective. He understood that regardless of Duan Zhengchun's current thoughts, the throne of Dali would ultimately fall into his son's hands.

In that case, it's better to address some issues sooner rather than later.

Dao Baifeng let out a long breath, her eyes slightly moist: "It's best that you're willing to let go of your hatred. I will never utter a word about this to anyone."

Duan Yanqing smiled faintly, a hint of relief appearing on his battered face: "I am already a prisoner of a defeated army, so why would I cause any more trouble?"

Duan Yanqing slowly stood up.

Farewell.

He didn't look at Dao Baifeng again, nor did he say another word about father and son recognizing each other. He turned around, pushed open the wooden door of the bamboo house, and walked into the shadow of the green bamboo covering the mountain. He walked slowly alone towards Tianlong Temple.

Yang Guo stood by the window, looking out through the glass, his heart equally unsettled.

If Dao Baifeng had arrived even a moment later, and his sword had struck, he would have personally killed his biological father, a sin that would have been difficult to cleanse for the rest of his life.

Now that Duan Yanqing has voluntarily gone to Tianlong Temple to confess his sins, it is the best possible outcome for him at present.

Footsteps approached from outside, and a gentle knock sounded on the bamboo door.

Chu Wanli's voice came through the door, tinged with caution: "Your Highness, Your Highness. The Prince of Zhennan has awakened."

Yes.

When Duan Zhengchun was mentioned, Dao Baifeng's expression darkened again.

Although the truth was sealed in this bamboo hut, the rift between the couple had already become a real barrier between them.

She had already made up her mind that once Duan Zhengchun's health improved, she would set off to return to the Baiyi tribe.

Twenty years of marriage have left a lasting bond, but what has happened can never be the same again.

"Let's go." Dao Baifeng pulled her plain-colored clothes tighter and forced herself to cheer up.

Yang Guo followed her out of the inner room.

The lights in the outer hall flickered. Duan Zhengchun leaned against the soft couch, his face still pale, a trace of blood remaining at the corner of his mouth, his eyes empty and blank. Ruan Xingzhu was standing by the couch, carefully wiping his cheeks with a handkerchief. When she saw the two of them come out, she quickly got up.

Upon seeing Dao Baifeng, Duan Zhengchun's lips moved as if he wanted to speak, but a thousand words stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single one. The shocking secret he had just experienced before fainting was etched into his mind like a nightmare.

Duan Zhengchun slowly raised his eyes and looked at Yang Guo standing to the side. He opened his mouth, but in the end, it turned into a deep sigh.

Yang Guo knew that it was not the right time for him to speak, as the Prince and Princess of Zhennan probably had something to say. He bowed and withdrew.

Yang Guo walked out of Mirror Lake Cottage and saw Zhao Shuhuai, who had been waiting in another place. After all, she had more than ten years of experience with the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and she had heard all the commotion and exclamations that had come from inside the house.

Yang Guo didn't say anything, and she didn't ask either.

Let's go!

Yang Guo continued walking forward. Zhao Shuhuai glanced at the Glasses Lake Cottage, then turned and followed, asking, "What about those two?"

Yang Guo looked in the direction Zhao Shuhuai pointed and saw Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan.

Ye Erniang had been pierced through the chest by her own Six Meridian Divine Sword. Before Duan Yanqing left, he tried to stop the bleeding by pressing her acupoints, but the wound inflicted by the Six Meridian Divine Sword was not so easy to stop. Moreover, Yang Guo had not held back at all in that sword strike, and the sword energy remaining in Ye Erniang's body had already damaged her heart meridian.

In other words, Ye Erniang had some miraculous medicine that temporarily saved her life, but even if she managed to escape this ordeal, she would lose most of her martial arts skills.

Ye Erniang has committed many evil deeds over the years. If people find out that she has lost most of her martial arts skills, she will be beheaded within a few days.

Yue Laosan was not injured; he had only been acupunctured by himself. Duan Yanqing had already released him, but instead of letting him follow, Duan Yanqing told him to leave on his own.

The Four Evils were once infamous, but now the eldest is gone, the second is half-dead, the fourth has long gone to hell, and only Yue Laosan remains.

"Yue Laosan, our master-disciple relationship started as a joke. Now I'm giving you a chance to choose again. Either become my disciple, but then you have to abide by my rules; or our master-disciple relationship ends here. You are no longer my disciple, and I am no longer your master."

"However, whatever choice you make, if I happen to find you committing evil, I will not let you off easily!"

Yue Laosan said, "I know I'm not a good person. I've done plenty of murder and arson, but I keep my word. I said I'd become your disciple, and I will. Otherwise, what's the difference between me and a turtle or a bastard? Unless you expel me from the sect!"

Yang Guo was surprised that this guy was so trustworthy. After thinking for a moment, he said, "In that case, I will formally accept you into the sect today. You must remember that our sect is called the 'Ancient Tomb Sect'."

"Ancient Tomb Sect? Master, why is our sect's name so strange? Is it built inside some kind of tomb? It doesn't sound as imposing as my South Sea Sect!"

Zhao Shuhuai, who was standing to the side, was also moved when she heard the words "Ancient Tomb Sect". Her understanding of the Ancient Tomb Sect was limited to the few words left by Xiaolongnu. As for what the real Ancient Tomb Sect looked like, only Yang Guo probably knew.

"Old Third Yue, this isn't something you should be asking. You'll know when the time is right. Our sect doesn't have many rules; just don't break the law!"

The Ancient Tomb Sect doesn't really have many rules, with only two core rules: one is that they don't accept men, which was broken by Yang Guo.

Secondly, one should spit on the portrait of Wang Chongyang, but since Wang Chongyang hasn't been born yet, this is unnecessary.

"Also, your name, Yue Laosan, should be changed. I see that you have an unusual and extraordinary appearance, so I'll call you Yue Buqun."
