The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Yang Kang became increasingly surprised as the fight progressed.

Although he is at the peak of the second tier, he has not yet advanced to the first tier.

But his martial arts skills are also extremely strong.

In addition, the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect were also strengthened to some extent.

These are all revised versions by Qin Hao.

The Five Greats' martial arts are strong not only because they have reached the Innate Realm.

It's also because their martial arts skills are inherently powerful.

With the same martial arts skills and at the same level, their internal energy was much greater and more refined.

The moves are more powerful and have fewer weaknesses.

But at this moment, the opponent was clearly using a basic set of martial arts, the kind of martial arts that are very common and popular in the martial arts world.

However, the opponent's technique was superior to that of the Quanzhen Sect.

He couldn't even gauge his opponent's strength and was constantly being pressured and beaten.

He couldn't discern anything about the other party, nor did he know which sect or school they belonged to.

"Senior, why make things difficult for a junior?" Yang Kang said.

He was inwardly distressed, but dared not actually beg for mercy, nor dared to diminish Qiu Chuji's reputation.

Although this master was extremely strict, he would either beat or scold him.

However, since Yang Kang and Bao Xiruo lived in the Quanzhen Sect, he was not entirely ignorant.

He knew that strict teachers produce outstanding students.

Who told him to be lazy?

Qin Hao did not answer; he had actually been keeping an eye on the shadows the whole time.

He hadn't expected that all the retainers from Wanyan Honglie's residence would actually arrive.

"Brother Yang, do you need our help?"

A young man in white stepped out. Judging from his appearance, he was quite distinguished and had the air of a noble young master.

Yang Kang gritted his teeth and did not answer.

This young man was named Ouyang Ke. He had met him twice before and knew that he was the nephew of Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison.

He was aware of Ouyang Feng's relationship with the Quanzhen Sect, so naturally he wouldn't speak up.

Ouyang Ke, however, seemed unhurried, apparently wanting Yang Kang to agree to help him under Qin Hao's pressure. That way, he could drag Yang Kang into the mess.

"There are a few more people, come out too."

Qin Hao was speechless.

Huang Rong had lured Sha Tongtian here, but unexpectedly, they all gathered here.

If Guo Jing broke into the Prince's mansion at night, wouldn't he have no enemies left?

Yang Kang was taken aback. There was someone else?
He didn't even realize it.

Before long, Yang Kang even thought that the senior in front of him might be mistaken.

Master Lingzhi and several others came out together.

Yang Kang's eyes darkened slightly.

Do we really have to join forces with them?
The senior in front of him was truly powerful; even using only basic martial arts, he was able to suppress him, a second-rate expert.

Is this a top-tier master?
As for innate talent, he dared not even think about it.

In the past, there were five great masters in the world. Now, Wang Chongyang, the Central Divine, has passed away, but Zhou Botong is still alive.

There should still be around five people.

Including the reclusive experts, the number should not exceed two palms' width.

But the person in front of us looks extremely young, and being at the peak of the first-class level is already incredibly impressive.

Yang Kang didn't dare to imagine that the other party was born with innate talent.

If Ouyang Ke and the others attack together, they should be able to force the opponent to retreat.

Yes, Yang Kang felt that even if Ouyang Ke and the others were together, they could only force the other side to retreat, and would not dare to defeat or even kill them.

That's highly unlikely.

The opponent's martial arts skills were extremely superb, and his mastery of the moves was so profound and skillful that he even innovated on many basic martial arts techniques.

If you take it out anywhere, it will be a martial arts manual that everyone in the martial arts world will be eager to acquire.

"Well, Brother Yang? If you need to speak up, please do so."

Because of the support and protection of Ouyang Ke, he looked down on everyone in the martial arts world.

He has the backing of one of the Five Greats, the Western Poison, who is the most unreliable of the Five Greats, with no bottom line and will use all sorts of despicable means.

It also provides a means of controlling venomous snakes.

Although he was only at the peak of the second tier, he didn't even consider first-tier experts a threat.

Qin Hao looked at the group of people with a mocking expression; they were nothing more than ants.

If it weren't for wanting to fulfill some regrets from his past life, Qin Hao wouldn't have bothered with them.

Ouyang Ke was good-looking, but unfortunately, he was a terrible person. In Qin Hao's mind, he and his uncle Ouyang Feng were people who had to be killed.

They deserve to die.

Master Lingzhi and others took turns speaking.

"Yes, Brother Yang, the Prince was very happy to hear that you had come to Zhongdu."

"If you are willing to join the Prince's mansion, the Prince is willing to recognize you as his adopted son. In the future, the Sixth Prince's mansion will be yours to inherit."

Qin Hao was somewhat surprised.

Wanyan Honglie is quite capable; he actually managed to track down Yang Kang's whereabouts.

They even learned Yang Kang's identity.

Even after many years apart, Wanyan Honglie still seemed to have hope for Bao Xiruo.

He wouldn't feel that he hadn't raised Yang Kang as he did in the original story, despite their many years of interaction.

How much affection could Wanyan Honglie and Yang Kang possibly have?

This was entirely due to his feelings for Bao Xiruo, and he extended that affection to everything related to her.

He's quite the romantic type.

However, whether it was the Jin Dynasty or the Song Dynasty, the people in the court were basically all on the list that Qin Hao had abandoned.

Qin Hao looked at Yang Kang, wanting to see what choice Yang Kang would make.

If he follows the same path as in the original story.

Qin Hao then captured him and crippled him completely.

In the future, I might as well be a useless person within the Quanzhen Sect and spend my life like that.

That way, we can avoid creating so many regrets.

Well, the reason Qin Hao didn't kill him was that he still hoped Yang Guo could come into this world.

Yang Kang was also suffering internally.

There is great terror between life and death.

But he still regretted it.

Within the Quanzhen School, Qiu Chuji was extremely strict with him because he was unwilling to endure hardship at that time.

Relying on his talent, he was often distracted and lazy.

If only he had tried harder back then.

At this point, they should be able to advance to the top tier.

At that time, even if I was no match for them, I should still have a chance to escape.

Well, Qin Hao thought Yang Kang was eating farts.

With me here, even if Ouyang Feng, the Western Poison, came, Yang Kang wouldn't be able to escape.

Even Ouyang Feng himself might not be able to escape.

If Qin Hao is really serious.

At this moment, Yang Kang suddenly felt a wave of malice coming from him.

what exactly is it?
He felt a great terror, as if he would face death at any moment.

He considered joining forces with Ouyang Ke and the others to encircle them, but the teachings of Qiu Chuji and the others still echoed in his mind.

"I……"

Everyone looked over, even Qin Hao.

He was also very curious about Yang Kang's choice.

"I reject."

Yang Kang said, "I was born a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, and I will die one. The Quanzhen Sect takes resisting the Jin as its mission. How could I choose to recognize the enemy as my father because of my personal life and death, out of greed for life and fear of death?"

His choice undoubtedly surprised everyone.

Well, Qin Hao was also slightly surprised.

Ouyang Ke laughed and said, "But back then, your mother entered the Sixth Prince's mansion and served as a princess for two months."

Ok?
Yang Kang was extremely angry. Although he was a bit of a playboy, he was well-read and had received a complete education within the Quanzhen Sect.

Qin Hao emphasized this point in his letter to Ma Yu.

Even if Bao Xiruo is very doting, this point must be insisted upon.

So although he wasn't loyal to the emperor or loved his country, he still knew about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame.

He even wanted to turn around and kill Ouyang Ke.

However, Qin Hao brought him back, which was both a test and a protection.

How could Ouyang Ke, a mere nobody, possibly harm Yang Kang under Qin Hao's protection?
The group wasn't in a hurry; they could also see that Yang Kang was no match for Qin Hao.

Of course, Qin Hao didn't seem to have any murderous intent, otherwise Yang Kang wouldn't have been able to hold out for so long.

They didn't know why.

But they knew that if Qin Hao got in their way, they would just kill him.

Anyway, it's just a top-tier peak.

They shared Yang Kang's opinion, feeling that achieving innate talent was too difficult.

In this world, there are many people who are stuck at the peak of their level, unable to make any further progress.

The Innate Realm is not so easy to break through.

Otherwise, the Five Greats' fame wouldn't have spread throughout the martial arts world.

"Or, shall we attack together? As long as we join forces with Yang Kang and kill this man, he won't be able to resist joining us."

Very good, you even know how to use idioms.

It works very well for co-contamination.

Lingzhi Shangren's words made Yang Kang's expression change.

"Senior? Why bother arguing with me? Why don't we leave first?"

Yang Kang was also very worried about this outcome.

Although he was somewhat of a playboy, he had no intention of killing Qin Hao.

Otherwise, Qin Hao wouldn't have let Yang Kang go; he would have defeated him directly, crippled all his martial arts, and taken him back to the Quanzhen Sect to be imprisoned.

Qin Hao remained noncommittal, while Yang Kang's expression turned extremely unpleasant.

Just then, Ouyang Ke agreed, and the others pressed forward.

Qin Hao didn't care at all. He used the tree branch in his hand to encircle the group, but Du Fu and the others' sharp steel swords seemed to be in no way inferior.

This?
When I was watching from outside, I didn't think Qin Hao was that amazing.

At this moment, none of them lacked top-notch experts, yet they were all caught up in Qin Hao's trap.

But Qin Hao remained relaxed and unhurried, seemingly without any pressure whatsoever.

This caused everyone's expression to change.

"who are you?"

"When did such a master appear in the martial arts world?"

"Are you a Primordial Being?"

Such speculation was raised by the crowd.

I was deeply shocked.

When did a master of the Five Greats appear in the martial arts world?
"No, he couldn't possibly be one of the Five Great Masters. If he were, we would probably be dead already."

Master Lingzhi exclaimed.

He seemed to have convinced himself, and he wasn't so afraid anymore.

As long as we remain at the top level, there's still a way.

Among them are some top-tier individuals; even if they are no match for their opponents, they still possess the ability to protect themselves.

Ouyang Ke took out his flute and chuckled, "Looks like I'll have to use my trump card."

The others were taken aback for a moment, then became happy: "That's right, Master Ouyang's snake-driving technique is indeed unparalleled in the martial arts world. Even top-tier or even five-time masters would be afraid of it."

The melodious sound of a flute drifted out, accompanied by a constant rustling sound from the surroundings.

Qin Hao remained unfazed, leading the group to continue their relocation.

They even wanted to include Ouyang Ke in their plans, so he wouldn't have time to play the flute.

He wanted to toughen up Yang Kang, who had been slacking off too much when practicing martial arts.

Since he passed the test and did not defect to the enemy.

Qin Hao wouldn't mind granting the other party's request.

Of course, what if Yang Kang betrays his cause during this process?

Qin Hao wouldn't mind learning from Huang Yaoshi and severing his tendons, making him a complete cripple for the rest of his life.

Anyway, Mu Nianci seems to be deeply in love with Yang Kang and will never leave him.

The Quanzhen Sect isn't incapable of supporting a useless person. Ouyang Ke originally wanted to summon the venomous snakes, but Qin Hao interrupted him midway, and the snakes, without receiving further instructions, were unable to come and surround him.

This game lasted all day.

When night falls and the moon rises.

Guo Jing also received news that some martial arts figures were planning to sneak into Wanyan Honglie's residence at night to gather information about the military defenses of the Jin Dynasty.

Guo Jing, wanting to lend a helping hand, also came over.

However, he did not go with the others, but chose to enter the palace alone.

However, not long after he entered, he encountered Huang Rong.

At that time, he still thought Huang Rong was his younger brother.

Qin Hao didn't know where he had gone wrong in his teaching, that Guo Jing hadn't even noticed Huang Rong's disguise as a man.

Of course, Huang Rong's disguise was still very skillful.

Even ordinary martial arts figures wouldn't be able to recognize him.

But if you look closely, those with more experience in the ways of the world can recognize it.

You can tell from some of the younger daughter's condition and some details.

Therefore, Guo Jing still lacked experience.

After the two entered, Huang Rong suddenly remembered something, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Brother Guo, you gave me a chestnut horse and twenty taels of gold before. I'll give you a big gift in return."

So, it's fair to say that Guo Jing spent a lot of money trying to woo girls.

Just one of those fine horses, that chestnut horse alone, was worth a fortune.

At present, one tael of gold is worth five taels of silver.

That's equivalent to another hundred taels.

In addition, Guo Jing treated Huang Rong to many expensive dishes, worth several hundred taels of silver.

That's an amount that an ordinary person could never use up or earn in a lifetime.

Guo Jing scratched the back of his head and said apologetically, "No need, Brother Huang."

The things I gave you were given voluntarily; you don't need to return them.

In the northern deserts, silver didn't actually play a very big role.

Of course, it wasn't useless, but they couldn't find a market to buy what they wanted.

The condition Qin Hao gave Guo Jing was that the star-blossoms he ate every day were quite valuable.

In Guo Jing's eyes, worldly gold and silver were not really valuable.

Huang Rong was deeply moved: "Brother Guo, I won't say anything more, I must give you this gift."

Huang Rong had recently inquired within the Beggars' Sect and learned that Liang Ziweng was cultivating a medicinal snake in Wanyan Honglie's mansion, which was extremely precious.

For more than a decade, Liang Ziweng used countless precious medicinal herbs to cultivate this medicinal snake into a treasure snake.

After consuming this medicinal snake, one's internal strength increases by decades out of thin air.

Guo Jing is already at the peak of the first-class level. If he eats this precious snake, wouldn't he directly advance to the Innate level?
Then Guo Jing would be just like his father, one of the Five Greats.

Only then will your plans have a chance of succeeding.

Huang Rong had no idea that Guo Jing was a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, or that he was Qin Hao's apprentice.

She doesn't know much.

Huang Yaoshi didn't dare let her know too much.

But Huang Rong vaguely knew that neither Peach Blossom Island nor the Beggars' Sect seemed to be the same as before.

At least the Beggars' Sect was relatively well-informed.

As the two walked, they arrived at Liang Ziweng's medicine hut.

Guo Jing was still somewhat puzzled when Huang Rong entered with practiced ease and headed straight for the large urn containing the medicinal snake.

"Brother Jing, when I open the large urn, you should make your move and capture it."

what?
Before Guo Jing could react, Huang Rong had already opened the lid.

A precious snake emerged from within.

This precious snake has been consuming medicinal herbs for many years, and it is itself a strange beast. Although it does not know martial arts, its strength is still extremely high.

If this were a cultivation world, she would definitely be a snake spirit.

Perhaps in the world of the Legend of the White Snake, she could even be paired with Bai Suzhen.

But here, although the treasure snake is magical, it is only equivalent to a first-rate martial artist.

It could be said that if Yang Kang had come here, he might have met his end here.

If Liang Ziweng hadn't relied on his special snake-repelling technique, he would have suffered the same backlash.

Guo Jing was startled by what happened so quickly, but luckily he reacted very fast and grabbed the snake in one swift motion.

The precious snake, of course, would not yield and kept writhing.

Guo Jing's stance training was extremely proficient. When he used the Thousand-Jin Pole technique, it was as if he had landed on the ground and grabbed the precious snake, remaining completely still.

This?
Huang Rong was startled; she had underestimated the power of this precious snake.

If I had come alone, I might not have been able to handle this precious snake.

"Brother Jing, quickly drink its blood. This precious snake can increase your internal strength by sixty years out of thin air."

what?
Guo Jing was startled.

A dozen?

He's not even twenty yet, and he's already accumulated sixty years of internal energy?
Perhaps hearing Huang Rong's words, the precious snake trembled even more.

After all, this was a life-or-death crisis.

Guo Jing caught the precious snake, but at this moment he had no way to completely suppress it.

But if you press it down slightly, it's still okay.

“Brother Huang, you come and have a taste.”

He never gave up on Qin Hao's teachings.

What suits him best is not taking shortcuts, but taking things one step at a time, climbing step by step, slowly and steadily.

He was not used to suddenly having an extra 60 years of internal energy.

Moreover, he was already on the verge of innate mastery. If Qin Hao hadn't asked him to hone his martial arts skills and strive for a natural breakthrough, he would have been in a much better position.

He was given only one pill before, and he broke through directly.

"I won't smoke, you smoke."

Huang Rong was deeply moved.

This is sixty years' worth of internal energy, and Guo Jing is actually willing to give it to me.

The two of them took turns smoking, neither willing to do so.

Huang Rong figured that the commotion here would be discovered sooner or later, so she said, "Let's inhale together."

Guo Jing thought about it and agreed.

So the two of them, each holding one side, put their mouths to the snake and began to suck its blood.

Instantly, streams of snake blood entered his body, and a surge of heat circulated within him.

But Guo Jing felt that the snake blood would transform into internal energy after entering.

However, it diluted his previously extremely pure internal energy.

Although the quantity has increased, the quality has declined significantly.

He frowned.

Huang Rong's internal energy increased greatly, and it seemed to be somewhat out of control.

In the woods.

Ouyang Ke finally broke free from the battle and began to play the flute.

He also planned to use the snakes to deliver a fatal blow to Qin Hao.

However, before the community arrived, several eagle cries were heard.

Ouyang Ke didn't care at first, but the eagle's cry was extremely clear, and he could actually see them in the middle of the night.

Upon hearing the eagle's cry, the snakes began to panic.

Chaos had already begun before they even arrived.

They even started attacking each other.

This?
Ouyang Ke was taken aback. What kind of eagle cry was that?
Others had seen Ouyang Ke control the snakes before.

Moreover, Ouyang Feng was extremely skilled in this area and was famous throughout the martial arts world.

But at this moment, they were all stunned.

That's it?

It was nothing more than the cry of an eagle.

Then, they witnessed the most shocking scene of their lives.

A golden eagle with a wingspan of ten meters flew down from the sky, its talons spread out, each more than half a meter long.

With a single grab, the venomous snake on the ground was cut in two.

Eagles are natural enemies of snakes.

If a swarm of snakes could still defeat an eagle, the eagle is now so powerful that even a swarm of snakes must give way.

This golden eagle is actually the nemesis of my White Camel Manor's snake-repelling secret technique?

As soon as the eagle cried out, the snakes stopped obeying his commands.

The golden eagle only made a few moves, and the number of venomous snakes it killed in the swarm was not large.

But that's how venomous snakes are; they just collapse.

Of course, he didn't know that if the golden eagle landed directly, its wings would be even more powerful than divine weapons.

His entire body was covered in weapons.

No matter how many venomous snakes there are, it's useless.

It's clear that this venomous snake was quite perceptive and didn't stay to its death.

Their animalistic instincts drove them to leave quickly.

Ouyang Ke was still thinking that if possible, he should kill the golden eagle.

He didn't know that even if his uncle Ouyang Feng came, he might not be able to do it.

"Alright, let's call it a day."

Qin Hao had already received news from Guo Jing's side, and he even went to drink blood.

Really.

"This silly boy, now his breakthrough to the Innate Realm will be postponed again."

This was a tremendous opportunity for Guo Jing.

But for Guo Jing now, it's poison.

Huang Rong knew nothing and was self-righteous.

"Or is this inertia?"

Just then, a snake fell down, and it had already turned into a dried snake.

Guo Jing embraced Huang Rong, who was now limp and exhausted.

Guo Jing immediately understood what was going on.

Huang Rong was only at the mid-level of second-rate talent, but compared to others, she was a genius.

But for Huang Rong, she simply didn't try hard enough.

Like Yang Kang, Huang Rong also liked to slack off.

Perhaps this is the rule that wealth doesn't last beyond three generations.

The previous generation was so capable that the next generation, having enjoyed the benefits, naturally prefers to be lazy.

Even so, thanks to the efforts of the previous generation, they have already won at the starting line.

Even if Huang Rong were to slack off, she would still possess the strength of a mid-level second-rate fighter.

Moreover, the martial arts of Peach Blossom Island have recently been revised, becoming even more profound.

After Huang Rong began her cultivation, her strength became comparable to that of a typical peak second-rate cultivator.

A small golden eagle landed.

Guo Jing reached out, and the eagle landed, communicating with him through a thought.

Guo Jing's expression immediately changed: "They've all arrived so quickly? Looks like we need to leave soon. Brother Huang? Hmm? What about your chest?"

However, Guo Jing had no time to think about it anymore, as Liang Ziweng had already arrived with his men.

Guo Jing quickly led his men and jumped out of the window.

Then, using the Willow Catkin Technique, she floated away lightly.

Meanwhile, Qin Hao, seeing that Guo Jing had already left, had also lost interest.

"Today, you have spent a day polishing Yang Kang, so you have done a good job. But you have committed many evils in the past, so you must be punished. Let's give you a small punishment to serve as a warning, so that others will not say that I am bullying the weak."

boom!
Several thuds sounded as they landed, and Yang Kang realized that they had just been fighting Qin Hao together, and their strength was evenly matched.

In an instant, the others were all eliminated.

Only I remained, still standing.

A branch brushed against Qin Hao, and his body was pushed back by the light force.

But he discovered that he was not hurt at all.

At the end of the day, apart from being a little tired, I had nothing else.

This?
"senior?"

Yang Kang wondered to himself, could this senior be a master of the Quanzhen Sect?

Because of that last move, although he saw the soil very clearly, he vaguely understood that it was the Quanzhen Sect's One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones.

"And you are?" (End of Chapter)
