The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The four elders of the Beggars' Sect all stood up for Qiao Feng.

"Decades ago, who knew if these people's nonsense was true?"

An elder snorted coldly and pointed at Zhiguang and the others, speaking loudly.

"Qiao Feng is quite popular in the Beggars' Sect."

Lu Yao chuckled lightly and looked at Qiao Feng, who remained silent in the arena, and said calmly.

"Chief Qiao is renowned for his chivalry in the martial arts world, and I imagine the Beggars' Clan all admire him."

A'Zhu glanced at Qiao Feng and said softly.

Soon, chaos ensued. Some were willing to follow Qiao Feng, while others were wary of his Khitan identity and refused to join him.

"Shut up!"

"All of this is because of me, Qiao Feng. I am willing to relinquish my position as leader of the Beggars' Sect and hand over the Dog-Beating Stick!"

Qiao Feng looked dejected, but his eyes were very determined.

"It seems that Qiao Feng is still unwilling to cause internal strife within the Beggars' Sect and is prepared to sacrifice himself."

Lu Yao shook his head. Qiao Feng had done right by the Beggars' Sect.

Qiao Feng threw the Dog-Beating Stick and left Xingzilin alone.

After Qiao Feng left, the members of the Beggars' Sect once again discussed the selection of a new leader for the sect.

"They're just a bunch of rabble, let's go."

After watching Qiao Feng leave, Lu Yao lost interest and planned to leave Xingzilin with Wang Yuyan and the other two.

Just then, countless Western Xia cavalrymen rushed into the apricot grove and surrounded everyone.

"How come you're here so quickly?"

Lu Yao looked at the people from Xixia Yipintang and was slightly taken aback.

"Don't move! Anyone who moves will die."

A Western Xia cavalryman roared and glared fiercely at the Beggars' Gang members.

The leader was none other than Helian Tieshu, the Grand General of the Western Xia Kingdom who led the expedition to the east.

When the Beggars' Sect members saw that the Western Xia soldiers had surrounded them, they panicked.

After all, these Western Xia soldiers were carrying bows and crossbows, and their numbers were considerable.

"Oh? There are three pretty young ladies here too."

The officer beside Helian Tieshu's eyes lit up when he saw Wang Yuyan and the other two women.

"General, I'll go and bring these three beauties to you."

The officer bowed obsequiously to Helian Tieshu, intending to capture Wang Yuyan and the other two women to curry favor.

Helian Tieshu looked at Wang Yuyan and the other two women and nodded with great satisfaction.

As for Lu Yao, who was in front of the three women, he was completely ignored.

"Brother Lu."

Seeing this, Wang Yuyan looked somewhat frightened and quickly took a step closer to Lu Yao.

"Yu Yan, don't worry."

Lu Yao offered a soft word of comfort before looking at the officer who was riding up on horseback.

"Get out of my way, you pretty boy!"

The officer pulled on the reins, shouted at Lu Yao, and raised his whip, lashing it at Lu Yao.

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and twitched his fingers.

A six-meridian sword aura shot into the sky, and the officer on horseback instantly fell to the ground.

The commotion on Lu Yao's side instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"How dare you! Kill him!"

Helian Tieshu flew into a rage upon seeing his officer dead.

The Western Xia soldiers moved at the order.

Apart from the soldiers surrounding the Beggars' Sect, all the other soldiers were closing in on Lu Yao.

"court death."

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yao's eyes, and his true energy erupted instantly.

The surging true energy, like ocean waves, rushed towards the surrounding Western Xia soldiers.

"Splash splash".

The Western Xia soldiers who had surrounded them were thrown to the ground by the powerful force, leaving them in a sorry state.

"Who are you? We are from the Xixia Yipintang and would appreciate your assistance."

Seeing this, Helian Tieshu knew he had encountered a master, and his tone became a little lower.

"Xixia Yipintang? Never heard of it."

Lu Yao glanced at Helian Tieshu and said calmly.

"Arrogant! Shoot them down!"

Helian Tieshu's face turned ashen. Seeing Lu Yao's arrogance, he shouted sternly.

Upon hearing the order, the Western Xia soldiers immediately raised their crossbows and fired arrows in Lu Yao's direction.

Lu Yao waved his hand and blocked all the incoming crossbow bolts.

Helian Tieshu fell silent, realizing that he couldn't afford to offend the person in front of him.

"withdraw!"

Helian Tieshu immediately pulled on his horse and rode away.

"Hehehe, since you're already here, you might as well stay."

Lu Yao chuckled lightly and said calmly as he watched Helian Tieshu flee in a disheveled state.

With a thought, Lu Yao unleashed several six-meridian sword energies towards Helian Tieshu, instantly knocking him off his horse.

As the General Who Conquers the East of the Western Xia Kingdom and the head of the Western Xia First-Class Hall, Helian Tieshu naturally possessed martial arts skills.

But it's just an acquired skill, achieved through medication.

He owes his current status to the influence of the Helian surname.

"You actually killed General Helian! You're dead."

An officer from the Western Xia First-Rank Hall, looking terrified, pointed at Lu Yao and shouted.

"Dry tongue!"

Lu Yao's expression shifted, and the Western Xia First-Rank Hall officer who had spoken was instantly killed by a six-meridian sword aura.

"withdraw!"

Upon seeing this, the other members of the Western Xia Yipintang immediately began to retreat.

"Thank you for saving us. Our Beggars' Sect is deeply grateful."

Quan Guanqing approached Lu Yao with a smile and said...

"Yu Yan, let's go."

Lu Yao didn't even glance at Quan Guanqing before turning and leaving.

Quan Guanqing's face immediately darkened, and he looked at Lu Yao's back with indignation.

"Heh, why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? You want to make friends with such an expert?"

An elder who had originally intended to follow Qiao Feng came to Quan Guanqing's side, his face full of sarcasm.

Upon hearing this, Quan Guanqing clenched his fist.

After leaving Xingzilin, Lu Yao headed all the way to Shaoshi Mountain.

Qiao Feng's biological father, Xiao Yuanshan, would kill Qiao Feng's adoptive parents, Qiao Sanhuai and his wife, and frame Qiao Feng for it.

Lu Yao planned to go and stake out the place beforehand to meet Xiao Yuanshan.

Several days later, Lu Yao arrived at Shaoshi Mountain.

Lu Yao settled Wang Yuyan in a nearby town and then came to lie in wait.

Wang Yuyan is currently learning internal martial arts and needs to focus on her cultivation. With A Zhu and A Bi taking care of her, Lu Yao is at ease.

Several families live at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, but only one family is named Qiao Sanhuai.

Lu Yao stood at a distance, quietly observing a thatched courtyard.

After a busy day of farming, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao Sanhuai were preparing dinner.

Lu Yao did not rush to disturb them, lest Xiao Yuanshan notice something amiss and then disappear.

In just two days, Xiao Yuanshan finally appeared.

Lu Yao stood on a secluded hillside, watching a middle-aged man knock on the gate of Qiao Sanhuai's courtyard.

Lu Yao immediately leaped to the vicinity of the courtyard to investigate the situation inside.

"Does this brave warrior have something to discuss?"

Qiao Sanhuai, with his hunched back, looked at Xiao Yuanshan with a puzzled expression.

"You mean Qiao Sanhuai? Don't you have a son named Qiao Feng?"

Xiao Yuanshan looked at Qiao Sanhuai with an indifferent yet somewhat jealous expression.

"Hmm? You know my son, brave warrior?"

Qiao Sanhuai was taken aback and asked curiously.

Upon hearing Qiao Sanhuai's words, Xiao Yuanshan's anger intensified.

"Hmph! That's my son, not yours!"

Xiao Yuanshan snorted coldly and was about to make a move against Qiao Sanhuai.
