The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

The main hall of the medicine shop was filled with disciples of the Quanzhen Sect.

Hao Datong, one of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, frowned as he looked at his disciples, including Zhao Zhijing, who were moaning softly from the jade bees.

"How is this going?"

Hao Datong looked at his disciples and shouted a question.

The other disciples who knew the situation quickly explained what had happened.

"Nonsense! How dare they trespass into forbidden territory!"

Hao Datong was furious after hearing this, but when he saw Zhao Zhijing lying on the ground groaning, he couldn't bear it.

"Zhibing! You take ten disciples to the Tomb of the Living Dead, ask the Ancient Tomb Sect for the antidote, and bring Yang Guo back."

Hao Datong knew the situation was urgent and saving lives was the priority, so he quickly instructed Zhen Zhibing, who was standing nearby, to go and get the antidote.

"Yes, Uncle-Master."

Zhen Zhibing dared not be negligent. He bowed in response and then led his disciples toward the Tomb of the Living Dead.

However, things did not develop in the direction Hao Datong had predicted.

Zhen Zhibing led his men to demand the antidote and capture Yang Guo, but was obstructed by Granny Sun. In desperation, he got into a fight with Granny Sun.

Granny Sun led Yang Guo in a fierce battle against Zhen Zhibing and his group, and the two sides fought all the way to the front of the main hall of the Quanzhen Sect.

Granny Sun was, after all, a maidservant of the former leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect, and she had mastered many of the sect's martial arts techniques, so her martial arts skills were not low.

The numerous Quanzhen Sect disciples were unable to subdue Granny Sun for the time being.

Hao Datong, who rushed over after receiving a message from his disciple, saw the situation before him and immediately engaged in combat with Granny Sun.

Originally, Granny Sun's strength was not much different from Hao Datong's, but she still had to protect Yang Guo, so she quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Grandma, please give me the antidote and Yang Guo."

Hao Datong looked at Granny Sun with a serious expression and said.

"Hmph! You still want to torture this child? Dream on!"

Grandma Sun stared at Hao Datong and resolutely refused.

Seeing this, Zhen Zhibing glanced at Yang Guo and, with a slight movement of his eyes, reached out to grab him.

"Help!"

Upon seeing this, Yang Guo cried out in great fear.

Seeing this, Granny Sun quickly threw a flying needle at Zhen Zhibing.

Enraged by this, Hao Datong seized the moment when Granny Sun was distracted, gathered his inner strength, and struck Granny Sun with a palm.

Just as Granny Sun was on the verge of death, a cold light flashed like lightning and struck Hao Datong.

Hao Datong immediately sensed the danger and quickly used his lightness skill to leap into the air, forcing the internal energy in his palm back into his body.

Just as Hao Datong was dodging the sneak attack, a tall figure arrived beside Granny Sun in a few strides.

"Grandma Sun, are you alright?"

Lu Yao approached Granny Sun and asked softly with concern.

Seeing that Granny Sun was about to die, Lu Yao naturally could no longer stand idly by.

"It's you, Lu boy."

Grandma Sun smiled as she looked at the newcomer.

On the other side, Hao Datong, who had dodged the attack, staggered two steps after landing, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, as he had been injured by his own internal force.

"Who are you! If you are a disciple of Quanzhen, why did you ambush me!"

Hao Datong looked at Lu Yao, who was wearing a Quanzhen Taoist robe, and was somewhat puzzled. He shouted angrily.

Although Lu Yao was considered Hao Datong's grand-disciple, Hao Datong had never met Lu Yao.

After all, Hao Datong had more than a hundred disciples and grand-disciples; how could he possibly know them all?

"Qingwei! Why did you ambush Grandmaster Hao?"

Li Zhichang hurriedly called out to ask, but he was already drenched in sweat.

Lu Yao, as his disciple, committed such a deceitful and treacherous act, which has brought him immense suffering.

"I paid money to learn martial arts; that's called a fair trade."

After Lu Yao finished speaking, he ignored Li Zhichang and instead circulated his true energy to draw the Longquan sword that he had just thrown into his hand.

"Aren't you ashamed that so many of you are bullying an old person and a child?"

Lu Yao stood in front of Granny Sun and said in a detached tone.

"How dare you! Today I will cleanse the Quanzhen Sect of its own filth!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Zhibing, who was standing next to Li Zhichang, became furious and shouted at Lu Yao.

Zhen Zhibing grew up in the Quanzhen Sect, which was not only the sect he lived in, but also his home.

Therefore, he felt a deep-seated disgust for Lu Yao.

"Traitor, prepare to die!"

Zhen Zhibing drew his sword and attacked Lu Yao using the Quanzhen Sword Technique.

“Don’t overestimate your own capabilities.”

Lu Yao chuckled. How dare they use the Quanzhen Sword Technique in front of him? They really have a death wish.

Lu Yao unleashed his Nine Yin True Qi and used the perfected Quanzhen Sword Technique to sweep towards Zhen Zhibing from an extremely clever angle.

Both the angle and the position were precisely where Zhen Zhibing's sword technique was flawed.

"How can it be!"

Zhen Zhibing was utterly shocked; his swordplay had been broken so easily.

The Quanzhen disciples around him also looked at Lu Yao in disbelief.

"He's using the Quanzhen Sword Technique? How can he be so powerful?"

"How can someone who betrays their master and ancestors be so powerful!"

"not good!"

Hao Datong, who was standing nearby, immediately saw Zhen Zhibing's perilous situation. Ignoring his internal injuries, he quickly used his lightness skill to try to save Zhen Zhibing.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast Hao Datong's lightness skill was, it couldn't match the speed of Lu Yao's sword!

"Dragon Knight, is it? Die!"

Lu Yao roared inwardly and mercilessly pierced Zhen Zhibing's heart with his Longquan sword.

"you!"

Zhen Zhibing's eyes widened, clutching his chest which was throbbing with pain, and he knelt on the ground with a face full of resentment.

"Zhibing!"

"You bastard! How dare you kill someone right in front of me!"

Seeing Zhen Zhibing fall to the ground dead, Hao Datong was furious and stared intently at Lu Yao.

"So what if I kill him?"

Lu Yao used his internal force to disperse the blood on the Longquan Sword and said calmly.

Just then, three figures dressed in azure blue Taoist robes arrived using their lightness skills.

"Junior brother! What's going on?"

Ma Yu, who was in the lead, came to Hao Datong's side and asked with a frown.

The three people who arrived were Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, and Wang Chuyi, three of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

"Three senior brothers! We'll explain later. Let's take down this traitor together!"

Hao Datong's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke loudly to the three people beside him.

"it is good!"

Having been fellow disciples for many years, the group worked in perfect unison and attacked Lu Yao together.

"Hmph! That hypocritical, stinking Taoist priest, actually using numbers to bully the few!"

Seeing this, Granny Sun quickly grabbed her cane and came to Lu Yao's side, shouting loudly.

"Grandma Sun, you take good care of Yang Guo, I'll deal with them."

After saying something to Granny Sun, Lu Yao circulated his Nine Yin True Qi and used his sword technique to leap into the air and slash at Ma Yu and the other three.

"They actually dare to use the Quanzhen Sword Technique to fight us! They're like a newborn calf that's not afraid of a tiger!"

Ma Yu immediately recognized the sword technique Lu Yao was using, smiled lightly, and took the lead in engaging Lu Yao in combat.

But soon he stopped laughing.

"How is this possible! How can his Quanzhen Sword Technique be at such a high level!"

Ma Yu was shocked, even feeling that Lu Yao's understanding of the Quanzhen Sword Technique was superior to his own.

After exchanging several blows, he still couldn't defeat Lu Yao.

After being blasted back by Lu Yao's Great Subduing Demon Fist, he hurriedly asked his three junior brothers for help.

"Where did this monster come from! Three junior brothers, form the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Sword Formation."

Ma Yu shouted loudly, intending to form a battle formation with his three fellow disciples.

During his lifetime, Wang Chongyang created many sword formations, including the Big Dipper Seven Stars Sword Formation, the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Sword Formation, and the Three Pure Ones Sword Formation, all of which he passed on to the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

As the four shouted in unison, the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Sword Formation was activated instantly. Their internal forces intertwined, forming a huge aura that enveloped Lu Yao.

"not good!"

Lu Yao's expression changed, and he immediately felt the pressure increase.

Just as Lu Yao was about to unleash his full power and break out of the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Sword Formation, a clear, cold voice resounded throughout the entire plaza.
