A Blood-Moving Realm has arrived in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

After hearing Zhang Huai's detailed account of what had happened, Yang Guo was furious.

"Aunt's internal injuries were caused by that scoundrel of a Taoist priest. He dared to act this way without avenging us! He's really giving them a hard time!"

The usually aloof Xiaolongnu was now filled with anger. Hearing Zhang Huai describe Zhen Zhibing's behavior, she felt nauseous.

Suddenly, Xiaolongnu grabbed the sword beside her and turned to rush out of the house. Zhang Huai hadn't reacted yet, but fortunately Yang Guo had already grabbed Xiaolongnu's fair hand.

"Auntie, what are you doing!"

"revenge!

My ancestor, the matriarch of the Ancient Tomb Sect, had a lifelong entanglement with Wang Chongyang. In the end, she secluded herself in the Ancient Tomb and never stepped out again, dying in melancholy.

Granny Sun, who had taken care of me since I was a child, was accidentally killed by that old Taoist priest Hao Datong.

And I was seriously injured because of that damned Taoist priest, and almost lost my virginity. There wasn't a single good person among the entire Quanzhen Sect, young and old!

At this point, a flicker of fire seemed to ignite in Xiaolongnu's clear, cold eyes, and her originally spotless white robes were tinged with a hint of fierceness.

"Aunt, your injuries haven't healed yet, now's not the time to seek revenge."

Yang Guo's eyes were filled with anxiety, fearing that Xiaolongnu might impulsively rush to Chongyang Palace to block the gate.

"Yes, Miss Long, your most important thing right now is to recover from your injuries. In your current condition, you're only slightly stronger than Zhen Zhibing."

Once Miss Long has recovered from her injuries, I believe you will be able to come and go freely throughout the entire Quanzhen Sect.

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu's anger remained undiminished, but she took no further action. Yang Guo then continued:

"Auntie, have you forgotten that after we came out of the ancient tomb, we planned to find herbs to treat your injuries? Why don't you rest and wait for me to go and find the herbs?"

I believe there must be a miraculous cure for my aunt's internal injuries found in the Zhongnan Mountains.

"I can also help. I'm sure that if Brother Yang and I work together, we can find it much faster."

Zhang Huai also spoke up from the side.

"No," Yang Guo quickly said, "Brother Zhang has already saved Auntie. This debt of gratitude is hard to repay, so how can we trouble Brother Zhang again?"

Zhang Huai simply waved his hand casually, "It's alright. I'm just a refugee from the north, with no parents and no ties. I'll need Brother Yang's help in the future."

In fact, Zhang Huai also had his own ulterior motives. He could clearly see that Yang Guo was still wary of him, and this was a good opportunity to get closer to him.

Moreover, he really had nowhere to go now. If Yang went to find medicine, he couldn't just stay with Xiaolongnu alone.

What kind of situation is this? Although he knew that Xiaolongnu would definitely not be interested in him, he still felt somewhat awkward.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Yang Guo had no choice but to cup his hands and say:

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhang."

"Don't stand on ceremony with me. The sooner the better. The sun has just risen, so let's set off now."

Yang Guo thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, let's set off now and try to come back as soon as possible. I'll go and make some preparations."

Yang Guo quickly gathered the items he would need, and then handed an iron rod to Zhang Huai.

"I heard from my aunt that Brother Zhang punched Zhen Zhibing's left hand into a bloody mist. His strength is truly amazing. I think a stick would be most suitable for Brother Zhang."

Zhang Huai took the black iron rod, which was thick at both ends and thin in the middle, just like the golden cudgel in Journey to the West. He tried to imitate the people on TV and swung the iron rod, almost hitting himself in the process.

"Brother Zhang, be careful!"

Yang Guo turned to Xiaolongnu and said, "Aunt, Brother Zhang and I will go find medicine for you. Be careful. If you encounter any unavoidable danger, remember to sneak back into the Ancient Tomb via the waterway."

Little Dragon Girl looked at Yang Guo with some reluctance, her slender fingers stroking his upright face and tidying up the stray hairs at his temples.

You should be careful too.

Zhang Huai stood to the side, feeling as if he had been struck by a hundred thousand blows. He silently chanted in his heart, "I love you too, Lao Ji."

......

"Guo'er! Be careful!"

Little Dragon Girl stood in front of the wooden house and gave some instructions.

Yang Guo waved to her from a distance and called out, "Don't worry, Auntie, be careful too!"

"Let's go, Brother Yang."

Zhang Huai was speechless at the scene before him; at that moment, he even wanted to slam his elbow into the ground.

Yang Guo seemed to see the sour look on Zhang Huai's face and couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, Brother Zhang, you don't understand. It's obvious that you've never been in love with anyone. The love between my aunt and me has transcended life and death."

Hearing this, Zhang Huai cursed inwardly, "You brat, when I was flitting from flower to flower in Muli without getting a single petal on my body, you were still a little beggar. I have unparalleled experience in love!"

Although that's what he thought, he didn't say it out loud, afraid of hurting the boy in front of him, and could only keep replying "yes, yes, yes".

Soon, after a morning, the two arrived deep in the Zhongnan Mountains.

There was no trace of human habitation here, only towering ancient trees and craggy rocks intertwined to form a secluded and tranquil place. It should have been sunny, but there was no sunlight at all, and the surrounding area was shrouded in mist.

As a modern person, Zhang Huai was relatively timid and always felt that there were dark shadows flashing around him. At this moment, he was still wearing modern clothes, which made him feel out of place in the mysterious environment.

Yang Guo didn't ask too many questions about his clothing, assuming it was just a local custom.

"Brother Yang, what kind of elixir are we looking for?"

Zhang Huai asked Yang Guo, who was standing next to him.

"Look what this is!"

Yang Guo handed him a sealed earthenware jar tied with a rope.

Zhang Huai approached and examined it closely, noticing a fragrant aroma.

"This is... wine?"

"Hehe, that's right," Yang Guo said with a smug smile, "This is our secret weapon for finding elixirs."

According to the records of Lin Chaoying, the founder of the Ancient Tomb Sect, there is a kind of herb called Yindi Shen deep in the Zhongnan Mountains. This herb replenishes qi and blood. When boiled with Yufeng Jiang, it can enhance the foundation of internal strength and strengthen the body.

Wherever there is ginseng in the Yin region, there is always a large snake guarding it. This snake is very peculiar; while other snakes are averse to alcohol, this snake is very fond of it.

This bottle in my hand is what Master Lin left behind. Master Lin used to drown her sorrows in wine, and she left behind a large quantity of fine wine after her death. It's perfect for this occasion.

Zhang Huai nodded thoughtfully and said:

"Brother Yang, you want to use this wine to lure the wine snake out, then follow it back to its nest, and eventually find the medicinal herbs, right?"

"That's right, Brother Zhang understands me best."

As he spoke, Yang Guo opened the sealed jar, and a strong aroma of wine burst out, carrying the scent of mellowness and age. Upon entering the nose, one could feel a warmth spreading from the nasal cavity to every part of the body.

Even Zhang Huai, who doesn't usually drink, was getting a little tempted and wanted to try a sip.

Yang Guo noticed Zhang Huai swallowing and asked with a smile:

"Brother Zhang, would you like a bite?"

Zhang Huai quickly waved his hand, "No, no, drinking will ruin things."

He'd seen far too many people act crazy after drinking, and now that he was on business, Zhang Huai wasn't the type to succumb to temptation.

"Haha, it's alright," Yang Guo laughed heartily, "we'll go back and have a drink with Brother Zhang after we finish our business."

It's a deal.

"It's a deal!"
