The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

After a while.

Duan Zhengchun walked out of the house alone and came to Lu Yao's side.

"Thank you for bringing my daughter with you. I am grateful."

Duan Zhengchun bowed slightly to Lu Yao and expressed his sincere gratitude.

"Your Highness, there's no need for thanks. I am also very happy that A'Zhu can be reunited with her family."

Lu Yao waved his hand and said with a smile.

Suddenly, Lu Yao's expression changed as he sensed that an acquaintance had arrived.

"Duan Zhengchun! Prepare to die!"

Qiao Feng swiftly flew over and unleashed a Dragon Subduing Eighteen Palms strike at Duan Zhengchun.

"not good!"

Duan Zhengchun's expression changed, and he quickly leaped back.

"Qiao Feng!"

After dodging the attack, Duan Zhengchun immediately recognized the person who made the move.

"Hmph! Duan Zhengchun, you led men to ambush and kill my parents back then! Today you will pay with your life!"

Qiao Feng snorted coldly and stared fiercely at Duan Zhengchun.

"What are you talking about! When did I bring men to kill your parents?"

Duan Zhengchun was completely bewildered, not understanding what Qiao Feng was talking about.

"Brother Qiao, wait a moment. I think Prince Duan is not the leader. Is there some misunderstanding?"

Lu Yao was also taken aback, wondering where Qiao Feng had gotten the information.

“Brother Lu, I’ve already asked Kang Min. She knows the inside story from back then, and she’s the one who told me that Duan Zhengchun was the ringleader!”

When Qiao Feng saw Lu Yao speak up, he frowned and explained.

Lu Yao immediately realized that without A Zhu by his side, Qiao Feng had still been deceived by Kang Min.

"Brother Qiao, think about it carefully. It's not that I look down on Prince Duan, but does he have the prestige to rally so many martial arts masters to attack and kill your parents at Yanmen Pass?"

Lu Yao thought for a moment and then asked in return.

Qiao Feng frowned, realizing that Kang Min's words were full of loopholes.

More than twenty years ago, Duan Zhengchun was just a prince. How could he have gone out of Yanmen Pass to kill his own parents?

"Damn it! That bitch Kang Min lied to me!"

Qiao Feng looked resentful and extremely angry.

"Brother Qiao, don't worry, there are clues to this matter."

After thinking it over, Lu Yao decided to give Shaolin some trouble.

"Brother Lu, please speak."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Feng quickly asked.

"Since Master Zhiguang knew about this matter, then Shaolin Temple must have been aware of it, and Shaolin must have contributed a lot to being able to rally the martial arts community."

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly.

"How could this happen!"

Qiao Feng was stunned and couldn't help but cry out.

Qiao Feng's master was Master Xuanku of Shaolin. He had a biased view of Shaolin and believed that Shaolin would never do such a thing.

"This is just my guess."

Lu Yao shook his head, not explaining himself, since he himself couldn't explain how he knew all this.

"Thank you very much, Brother Lu."

Qiao Feng understood that Lu Yao's words made sense, so he thanked him.

After realizing he had misunderstood Duan Zhengchun, Qiao Feng magnanimously apologized to Duan Zhengchun.

"It was Qiao who was reckless. If Prince Duan is angry, he may slap me a few times to vent his anger. I will not fight back."

Qiao Feng scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

Duan Zhengchun was speechless, but since he wasn't injured, he wasn't angry.

"Brother Qiao is eager for revenge, how could I blame him?"

Duan Zhengchun laughed heartily and cupped his hands in greeting to Qiao Feng.

After a brief conversation, Qiao Feng bid farewell to Lu Yao and the others.

He was eager to return to the Beggars' Sect to settle scores with Kang Min, so he had no intention of staying at Little Mirror Lake any longer.

At the same time, Qiao Feng also felt that Lu Yao's words made a lot of sense, so he decided to go to Shaolin to seek the truth of what happened back then.

Lu Yao stayed at Little Mirror Lake for a day before deciding to leave.

Now that A'Zhu has reunited with her parents, she naturally will no longer follow Lu Yao.

After Duan Zhengchun returned to Dali and argued with Dao Baifeng, he had completely broken off relations with her and they both despised each other.

Knowing he could no longer face Duan Zhengchun, Dao Baifeng had already become a nun at a Taoist temple in Dali, no longer concerning herself with worldly affairs.

Because of Dao Baifeng's domineering nature, Duan Zhengchun once dared not bring his concubines back to the palace.

Now that Dao Baifeng has become a nun, she naturally has no say in Duan Zhengchun's affairs.

Therefore, Duan Zhengchun had already planned to bring Ruan Xingzhu and her two daughters back to the palace.

Lakeside of Xiaojing Lake.

"Thank you so much, young master, for helping me find my parents. I will remember your kindness forever."

Azhu looked at Lu Yao with great gratitude and made a move to kneel down.

Lu Yao reacted quickly; with a thought, he used his true energy to help A'Zhu up.

"Go and face a new life."

Lu Yao smiled, said nothing more, and then turned and left.

Watching Lu Yao's retreating figure, A Zhu and her companions couldn't help but shed tears.

Lu Yao arrived outside Little Mirror Lake, where Wang Yuyan and Abi were already waiting.

"I really envy Sister Azhu, she was able to find her family."

Abi glanced back at Little Mirror Lake, her expression full of envy.

"Let's go back to Canhe Village."

Lu Yao called out to the two women and then set off on his return journey.

After Lu Yao and his two companions had been walking for half a day, they were caught up by a figure.

The figure that caught up with Lu Yao and the others was none other than A Zi.

This is because Lu Yao and the others were not in a hurry to travel, which is why A Zi was able to come all the way here.

"Why is Miss Azi here instead of staying with her family?"

Lu Yao looked at A Zi and asked curiously.

Azi's expression was strange as she carefully examined Lu Yao for a few moments.

“I’m used to being alone and don’t want to go back to Dali City with them.”

"Brother Lu, please let me go with you. You're so capable, you can definitely protect me."

Azi blinked her big eyes and looked at Lu Yao with admiration.

Lu Yao wasn't buying it; he knew very well what kind of personality A Zi had.

Having grown up in the Xingxiu Sect, he may not be heartless, but he is certainly ruthless and capable of killing people like chickens.

"You haven't offended some powerful enemy, have you?"

Lu Yao suddenly remembered that at this time, A Zi had stolen the Divine Wood King Cauldron, a treasure of the Xingxiu Sect.

The Divine Wood King Cauldron was a treasure used by Ding Chunqiu to cultivate the Dissolving Power Technique, while A Zi stole it to cultivate poison techniques.

"How could this be? What powerful person could I have offended?"

Azi panicked and immediately denied it.

Azi followed Lu Yao to escape the pursuit of the Xingxiu Sect. She had complicated feelings for her parents and sister whom she had recognized, and did not want to drag them into it.

That's why I secretly ran away and followed Lu Yao.

Having grown up in the Xingxiu Sect, Azi is sharp-witted and observant.

She learned from her older sister, A'Zhu, that Lu Yao was very skilled in martial arts, even more so than the famous Murong Nan.

So Azi planned to latch onto Lu Yao's coattails and use him as a pawn to kill the Xingxiu Sect disciples who came to pursue her.

"Hehehe."

Lu Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, fully aware of A Zi's thoughts.

Just then, a shout came from inside.

"She's there! Quick! Don't let her get away!"

Several figures were seen using their lightness skills to quickly approach Lu Yao and the others.
