The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

After killing Murong Bo, Qiao Feng burst into tears, his expression filled with grief.

"Father! Mother! You can rest in peace now."

Qiao Feng roared, venting the joy of finally avenging his great grudge.

In fact, Qiao Feng's real father's killer should have been Lu Yao, but unfortunately Murong Bo took the blame.

"Qiao Feng thanks the two masters for helping me avenge my grievances. If there is any need for my service in the future, Qiao Feng will certainly not refuse."

After venting his anger, Qiao Feng came to the Sweeper Monk and Lu Yao, and sincerely bowed to express his gratitude.

“Amitabha Buddha, good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and cause and effect will be resolved. It is also the will of Heaven that Benefactor Qiao was able to settle this grievance.”

The sweeping monk, his expression neither sad nor happy, spoke softly to Qiao Feng.

It's just a pity that the Sweeping Monk lost such a fine lab mouse.

"I happen to need your help, Brother Qiao. How about becoming a guest elder in my Xiaoyao Sect?"

Lu Yao's heart stirred, and he beckoned to Qiao Feng.

At this time, Qiao Feng had left the Beggars' Sect and was considered to be without a sect or faction. If he were to be recruited, he would surely become a fierce general.

Qiao Feng was taken aback when he heard this, not expecting that Lu Yao would actually recruit him.

He had just deduced that Lu Yao was definitely a master of the same caliber as the Sweeper Monk, with unfathomable strength, and thus felt even more respect for Lu Yao.

In the martial arts world, respect for the strong is ingrained in one's bones; those who lack respect are already buried with grass growing three feet tall.

"Since Sect Leader Lu has invited me, how could I refuse? I am willing to obey Sect Leader Lu's orders."

Qiao Feng was clear about his grudges and gratitude. Lu Yao helped him avenge his great enemy, so he naturally had to repay him.

"Haha! Good! With Brother Qiao's help, we will surely succeed."

Lu Yao laughed heartily, very pleased with Qiao Feng's joining.

Although Qiao Feng was no longer the leader of the Beggars' Sect, he still held immense prestige within the sect. With the help of the Free and Unfettered Sect, regaining control of the Beggars' Sect would be a piece of cake.

If the Beggars' Sect, the largest gang in the world, could be brought under its wing, the power of the Free and Unfettered Sect would be further enhanced.

Just then, the Sweeping Monk spoke up.

"Is Sect Leader Lu aiming to dominate the martial arts world?"

The sweeping monk frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.

Originally, the Sweeping Monk didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but judging from Lu Yao's words, which implied that he wanted to stir up conflict in the martial arts world, he couldn't just ignore it.

"Don't you think the martial arts world is too chaotic?"

Lu Yao looked at the sweeping monk, his expression shifting slightly, and said calmly.

"The major sects in the martial arts world live in peace with very little conflict, so how could there be chaos?"

The sweeping monk stared intently at Lu Yao, wanting to know what Lu Yao was thinking.

"Nothing's wrong? Has the master been away from the mountain for too long?"

"Aren't there countless instances of martial arts practitioners using their skills to burn, kill, plunder, and indiscriminately slaughter civilians?"

Lu Yao asked the sweeping monk in a low voice.

"This is only a minority. There are many people in the martial arts world who uphold justice and eliminate evil. How can we generalize?"

The sweeping monk believed that Lu Yao was making a mountain out of a molehill and was just trying to realize his own ambitions.

"Master, there's no need to argue with me. I will stand firm in my approach."

Lu Yao shook his head and stopped arguing with the sweeping monk.

In his view, the Sweeping Monk simply didn't want Shaolin to lose its status as the martial arts hegemon.

Furthermore, Shaolin Temple had a close relationship with the Song Dynasty imperial family and was unwilling to lose this status.

"Is this what you intend, benefactor?"

The sweeping monk frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Master, are you going to stop me?"

Lu Yao looked coldly at the sweeping monk and asked in a chilling voice.

"Alas, for the sake of all living beings, this humble monk has no choice but to take action. Please, benefactor, come with me to Shaolin Temple to discuss the Dao."

The sweeping monk sighed softly, his expression gradually hardening.

Suddenly, the Sweeper Monk unleashed his true energy, the surging power of which directly repelled the surrounding martial arts practitioners.

He then leaped up, his true energy instantly condensing, and swung a palm at Lu Yao.

The sweeping monk was using the Vajra Palm, a Shaolin martial art.

Unlike the Vajra Palm techniques used by others, the Sweeper Monk's Vajra Palm was far more imposing, combining fierceness with agility as it swiftly struck towards Lu Yao.

Lu Yao naturally dared not underestimate his opponent, after all, this was his first time fighting against a Grandmaster, and he did not know how much difference there was between the two of them.

Lu Yao's eyes narrowed, and his five fingers moved, unleashing countless Six Meridian Divine Sword Qi that shot into the sky, hurtling towards the Vajra Palm unleashed by the Sweeper Monk.

As the dust settled, Lu Yao and the sweeping monk gazed at each other from afar.

"You stole the Yi Jin Jing!"

The sweeping monk's face was gloomy, and his tone was very certain.

The aura of the Six Meridians Divine Sword that Lu Yao just used was exactly the same as the one he found on Xuan Ci.

"What? Master, you can't bear to part with it?"

Lu Yao chuckled. Since he had been discovered, he might as well admit it.

"Shameless! How could a Grandmaster act in such a way!"

The sweeping monk was furious and pointed at Lu Yao, angrily rebuking him.

He never imagined that Lu Yao had advanced to the Grandmaster level by obtaining the Yi Jin Jing, after all, the time was too short.

"Master, you can say these things only after you can beat me."

Lu Yao smiled faintly as he watched the sweeping monk get angry.

"Thief!"

The sweeping monk glared at Lu Yao, his true energy erupting instantly, his body radiating golden light. He leaped towards Lu Yao, clearly intending to engage in close combat.

Faced with the sweeping monk's offensive, Lu Yao used the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) and the Six Meridians Divine Sword to fight him.

After exchanging blows with the Sweeper Monk for several rounds, Lu Yao had a general idea of ​​the Sweeper Monk's strength.

Both were at the Grandmaster level, but Lu Yao clearly felt that he was dealing with the Sweeper Monk with ease, and he hadn't even used his full strength yet.

The Sweeper Monk's feelings were completely different from Lu Yao's.

"Where did this monster come from! How can he be so powerful!"

The sweeping monk sighed inwardly, never expecting that even with his full strength, he couldn't defeat Lu Yao.

He practiced the Yi Jin Jing internal energy cultivation method, which gave him immense true energy, but for some reason, he was still a step weaker than Lu Yao.

Lu Yao's Yi Jin Jing internal energy underwent a slight change in nature after merging with the Bei Ming Divine Skill internal energy, so the Sweeper Monk did not determine that Lu Yao had practiced Yi Jin Jing.

The sweeping monk thought that Lu Yao's true energy was the true energy of the Northern Darkness Divine Art, which was heavy but not substantial, and that he could easily deal with it.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yao's true energy was not only incredibly solid, but its total amount also far exceeded his own.

"You modified the Northern Darkness Divine Art?"

The Sweeping Monk couldn't help but ask Lu Yao if he had truly created and modified the Northern Darkness Divine Art to advance to the Grandmaster level. The Sweeping Monk had to admire Lu Yao's extraordinary talent.

Unfortunately, what the Sweeping Monk didn't know was that Lu Yao had a cheat code!

"hehe."

Lu Yao chuckled lightly, without answering the sweeping monk's question.

Lu Yao's true energy surged violently, condensing into countless six-meridian sword qi shadows in the air, creating a terrifying aura.

The sweeping monk felt the oppressive aura emanating from the countless sword energies above, and his expression became extremely solemn.

"The magical power of indestructibility!"

The sweeping monk shouted loudly, and his upper garments burst open, revealing his golden skin.

The Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill is a unique skill of Shaolin Temple, combining offense and defense, with defensive power far exceeding that of the Golden Bell Cover of the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts.

With a thought from Lu Yao, countless sword shadows shot towards the Sweeper Monk like meteors.

The sweeping monk dared not be negligent in the slightest, his whole body flashing with golden light, forming a golden protective shield of true energy to defend himself.

The sword shadows clashed with the golden shield, causing a burst of true energy and sword energy that surged outwards in waves.
