The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Lu Yao paused slightly as he stood at the entrance to Wanjie Valley.

The Valley of Ten Thousand Calamities was blocked by several towering trees, completely sealing off the entrance, making it impossible for ordinary people to enter.

Lu Yao knew that this was a mechanism set up by Wan Jie Valley for protection, but unfortunately it was useless against a master of Lu Yao's level.

"Zhong Wanchou truly hates Duan Zhengchun."

Looking at the plaque that read "Anyone with the surname Duan who enters here will be killed without mercy," Lu Yao couldn't help but chuckle.

But Zhong Wanchou was truly miserable. Not only was his wife someone Duan Zhengchun had already had his way with, but he also had to raise Duan Zhengchun's daughter.

Isn’t this bullying an honest person?

Lu Yao stomped his foot on the ground, his figure leaping up and directly stepping through the gate of Wanjie Valley.

The guards of Wanchou Valley also spotted Lu Yao and immediately sounded the alarm.

Lu Yao stepped onto the roof of a tall pavilion in Wanjie Valley, carefully searching for the giant eagle.

"Who are you! How dare you trespass into my Valley of Ten Thousand Calamities!"

Soon, Zhong Wanchou and his disciples from the valley surrounded them.

Zhong Wanchou was wearing a tall felt hat and a dark gray robe, holding a sharp curved knife in his hand, and looking at Lu Yao warily.

"Father! He's the one who hit me!"

Zhong Ling pointed at Lu Yao on the upper floor of the pavilion and said angrily with great grievance.

Looking at Zhong Wanchou, Lu Yao could almost see the bright green hat on his head, which looked quite comical.

"So it was you, you scoundrel, who bullied my precious daughter!"

Upon hearing this, Zhong Wanchou was instantly enraged and glared fiercely at Lu Yao.

"Ling'er, be good! Daddy will avenge you right away."

Zhong Wanchou turned and comforted Zhong Ling, then immediately leaped into the air, wielding his curved blade to slash at Lu Yao.

"You old bastard, you love your daughter so much, is she even your own?"

Lu Yao chuckled and watched with interest as Zhong Wanchou charged toward him.

"Nonsense! Take my knife!"

Zhong Wanchou's face twitched, and his expression darkened for a moment before he roared in anger and embarrassment.

Zhong Wanchou knew about Gan Baobao's past and had some doubts about whether Zhong Ling was his biological daughter, but he was unwilling to face the truth.

“Master Zhong, honest people never have a good ending.”

Lu Yao shook his head, and the Northern Darkness True Qi erupted, surging and turbulent, directly blasting Zhong Wanchou away.

"Valley Master!"

Seeing that Zhong Wanchou had been knocked back in one move, the disciples of Wanjie Valley rushed forward to catch him.

"Not good! He's a master! I'll hold him off, you all go and fetch my distinguished guest!"

Zhong Wanchou stopped, his face very solemn, and quickly whispered instructions to the disciple beside him.

After kicking Zhong Wanchou down, Lu Yao arrived in front of Zhong Wanchou in just a few steps.

"Has Valley Master Zhong ever seen a giant, exotic eagle?"

Lu Yao looked at Zhong Wanchou and asked calmly.

"Is that eagle yours? It killed my Lightning Sable, it will pay with its life!"

Zhong Wanchou was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the person in front of him was the owner of that strange bird.

"Release my mount, and I will leave immediately."

Lu Yao frowned slightly, not expecting that the giant eagle had actually been captured by Zhong Wanchou.

Zhong Wanchou is considered a top-notch expert, and if the giant eagle is not careful, it could actually be seriously injured and captured by him.

"How could it be so easy? Doesn't my spirit pet have a life too? You think you can just let it go like that?"

Zhong Wanchou snorted coldly, showing no intention of backing down.

Although Lu Yao had just defeated him with a single blow, demonstrating his strong martial arts skills, he still had something to rely on and was not afraid of Lu Yao.

"Has Master Zhong always been so inflexible?"

Lu Yao gave Zhong Wanchou a cold look before disappearing instantly.

Zhong Wanchou's expression changed, and he immediately became vigilant.

Unfortunately, Zhong Wanchou was no match for Lu Yao. In an instant, Lu Yao appeared in front of him and kicked out.

Zhong Wanchou only felt a pain in his chest before he was kicked away.

Lu Yao circulated his true energy, condensed it in his hand, and pulled it towards Zhong Wanchou.

Zhong Wanchou, who had been kicked away, was immediately pulled back by an invisible force and was grabbed by the neck by Lu Yao.

Where is the giant eagle?

Lu Yao looked at Zhong Wanchou, whose neck he was gripping, and said calmly.

Lu Yao originally thought Zhong Wanchou was quite pitiful, and that he would be fine if he knew what was good for him, but he dared to put on airs, as if he had a death wish.

"Uh-huh!"

Lu Yao's hand was like a vise, making it almost impossible for Zhong Wanchou to breathe.

"Let go of my husband!"

Gan Baobao, who rushed over, saw Zhong Wanchou being held by Lu Yao. Her expression turned anxious, and she drew her long sword and slashed at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao didn't even look at her, and casually swung his hand, sending her flying.

"mother!"

Zhong Ling shouted anxiously and rushed over to help Gan Baobao up.

When Zhong Wanchou saw the appearance of his wife and daughter, his expression changed, and his eyes revealed a pleading look.

"Does Master Zhong not fear death himself, but disregard the lives of his wife and daughters?"

Lu Yao gave Zhong Wanchou a cold look, his tone icy.

With a sudden loosening of his grip, Zhong Wanchou fell to the ground.

"Don't hurt them, I'll release that strange bird."

Zhong Wanchou gritted his teeth, his expression one of utter helplessness.

Zhong Wanchou originally intended to tame the giant eagle and make it his own, but now he had no choice but to submit.

In Zhong Wanchou's mind, ten giant eagles were not as good as his wife and daughter.

"If Master Zhong had realized this sooner, this scene wouldn't have happened."

Lu Yao said calmly.

Zhong Wanchou summoned a disciple and ordered him to release the giant eagle.

A moment later, a howling sound rang out.

"Wow!"

The giant eagle flew in from the depths of Wanjie Valley and quickly arrived beside Lu Yao.

"Brother Eagle, you must have suffered quite a bit this time."

Seeing the eagle's dejected look, Lu Yao smiled.

"I admire Master Zhong's devotion. Farewell."

Lu Yao turned to see Zhong Wanchou still comforting his wife, shook his head, and prepared to leave.

Just as Lu Yao was about to step onto the giant eagle's back, a cane suddenly attacked him.

Lu Yao frowned, turned around, and kicked the flying cane away.

The cane spun and danced in the air before being caught by a figure in an instant.

"You should stay."

A deep voice rang in the ears of everyone in the Valley of Ten Thousand Calamities.

Four figures were seen using their lightness skills to stride forward.

"Duan Yanqing."

Lu Yao was taken aback, not expecting it to be Duan Yanqing and the other four villains.

"Brother Duan! You've finally arrived!"

When Zhong Wanchou saw the arrival of the Four Evils, he was overjoyed.

"Don't worry, Brother Zhong, I will definitely kill this brat and avenge you."

Duan Yanqing's face was covered with knife scars, which was quite terrifying. His lips did not move, but the sound came from his abdomen.

"This kid has such delicate skin, he's just a pretty face. I'll cut his throat off!"

Yue Laosan, one of the Four Evils, grinned, pulled out the alligator scissors he carried on his back, and glared menacingly at Lu Yao.
