The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Although the Four Symbols Returning to Origin Sword Formation is not as powerful as the Seven Stars Big Dipper Formation, it only requires four people to perform.

With the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird as the four main positions, it combines both offensive and defensive capabilities, making it quite powerful.

Ma Yu and the other three stood in the four main positions, surrounding Lu Yao in the center of the sword formation, their killing intent fully revealed.

Just then, a hollow, cold voice echoed throughout the entire square.

"Does the Quanzhen Sect think that my Ancient Tomb Sect has no one left to deceive us like this?"

Little Dragon Girl stood atop the palace, dressed in a plain white dress, her snow-white sash fluttering in the night breeze.

Looking at the graceful Little Dragon Girl standing in the pavilion, Lu Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With Lu Yao's current strength, he could easily handle two or three masters like the Seven Masters of Quanzhen on his own.

However, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were very coordinated, and with the added strength of the sword formation, Lu Yao was finding it difficult to withstand the attack.

After all, Lu Yao's version of the Nine Yin Manual was incomplete, and achieving this level of mastery was already the limit, even if he had fully mastered it.

If the Seven Masters of Quanzhen joined forces, they would be a first-rate master capable of going toe-to-toe with the Five Greats.

“Miss Long, as far as I know, apart from Granny Sun being a member of your Ancient Tomb Sect, these other two are disciples of my Quanzhen Sect, right?”

Ma Yu looked at the newcomer, cursed inwardly as troublesome, and frowned as he spoke to Xiaolongnu.

It wasn't that Ma Yu was afraid of Xiaolongnu; it was mainly because his master, Wang Chongyang, had instructed him to treat the Ancient Tomb Sect with respect and not to provoke them.

"I need to let Master Ma know that Lu Yao has already become a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect a few days ago, and Yang Guo has already been recognized as a god-grandson by Granny Sun. I really can't stand idly by."

Xiaolongnu's eyes flickered slightly, and she uttered a piece of news that surprised even Lu Yao.

"When did I become a member of the Ancient Tomb Sect?"

Lu Yao stared at Xiaolongnu for a moment, stunned.

Grandma Sun chuckled.

“That’s right! I’ve already adopted this child as my god-grandson, so he’s practically a member of my Ancient Tomb Sect.”

Granny Sun patted Yang Guo's head in her arms and said loudly.

But she felt very guilty, after all, she had brought so much trouble to Xiaolongnu.

"Miss Long, please don't joke with this old Taoist!"

Ma Yu's lips twitched, and his face looked extremely ugly.

Believe it or not, it's up to you.

Xiaolongnu's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was as cold and indifferent as ever.

After saying that, he used his lightness skill, and a white ribbon flew out into the air.

Little Dragon Girl, stepping on a ribbon, strolled over to Lu Yao and Granny Sun.

"Senior brother, what should we do?"

Qiu Chuji came to Ma Yu's side, his expression equally unpleasant.

Wang Chongyang's explanation to the Ancient Tomb Sect wasn't just told to Ma Yu alone; the Seven Masters of Quanzhen also knew about it.

Seeing Ma Yu's troubled expression, Qiu Chuji, who had known him for many years, immediately understood Ma Yu's thoughts.

“Miss Long, our Quanzhen Sect and the Ancient Tomb Sect have maintained a harmonious relationship for many years. There is no need to damage the friendship between our two families over this matter.”

"We are all martial artists, so let's settle this with a duel. If Miss Long wins, you can take these people with you."

Qiu Chuji, holding the Quanzhen Dao Sword, walked up to Xiaolongnu and said with a serious expression.

"it is good."

Xiaolongnu nodded at Qiu Chuji, then took out the Ice Silk Gloves and gently put them on.

Qiu Chuji no longer hesitated. With his true energy circulating, his Taoist robe floated slightly as he attacked Xiaolongnu with the Quanzhen Taoist sword in hand.

Under Qiu Chuji's sword, the Quanzhen Swordplay became incredibly flexible and unpredictable, and the flowing sword shadows effectively blocked Xiaolongnu's escape route.

Xiaolongnu's expression remained unchanged. She used the grappling techniques from the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra and instantly grabbed Qiu Chuji's Dao sword.

"These gloves are actually impervious to blades and bullets!"

Qiu Chuji's eyes flickered, and he immediately understood the purpose of the ice silk glove that Xiaolongnu was wearing.

Qiu Chuji circulated his inner energy, brushed Xiaolongnu's hand off the sword, and took two steps back.

Upon seeing this, Xiaolongnu immediately channeled her inner energy into the snow-white ribbon on her wrist.

The white ribbon imbued with true energy lunged at Qiu Chuji like a serpent or dragon, entangling him.

"not good!"

Qiu Chuji's expression changed, and he swung his Dao sword at the ribbon, but was directly repelled by the true energy.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Qiu Chuji coughed lightly twice, as Xiaolongnu's true energy had invaded his meridians, causing his true energy circulation to become somewhat obstructed.

"Junior brother, are you alright?"

Ma Yu stepped up to Qiu Chuji's side and hurriedly asked.

"I am fine."

Qiu Chuji waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

“Miss Long, it is true that I have lost. You may take these people with you.”

Qiu Chuji sighed and said helplessly to Xiaolongnu.

"Farewell!"

Little Dragon Girl nodded and took two steps to Lu Yao's side.

"Let's go."

Little Dragon Girl blinked at Lu Yao and said softly.

Lu Yao nodded, mentioned Yang Guo, and then left with Xiaolongnu and the others using their lightness skills.

"Sigh, let's give Zhen Zhibing a proper burial."

Ma Yu sighed as he looked at Zhen Zhibing's corpse and gave instructions to his disciples.

When it comes to avenging their disciples, the instructions of their master Wang Chongyang are more important. As long as their disciples are dead, they can be buried. The Quanzhen Sect has dozens of such disciples.

......

Inside the Tomb of the Living Dead.

Grandma Sun took the frightened Yang to rest.

Lu Yao was taken by Xiaolongnu to a tomb chamber with an altar.

Lu Yao looked at Xiaolongnu, wanting to ask her about becoming a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, but he didn't know how to start.

"This is my master, Lin Suxin."

Little Dragon Girl looked at a portrait on the wall and said softly.

Looking at the woman in the painting, Lu Yao's gentle smile gave off a warm and kind feeling.

"It was out of necessity to say that you are a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect today, but I know that you are kind-hearted and exceptionally talented. I'm sure your master won't blame you if he finds out."

"I am willing to accept a disciple on behalf of my master. Lu Yao, would you be willing to join my Ancient Tomb Sect?"

A solemn and serious expression appeared on Xiaolongnu's cool and aloof face.

"I wish to join the Ancient Tomb Sect!"

Lu Yao nodded, knelt down, and bowed respectfully to the portrait on the altar.

Joining the Ancient Tomb Sect naturally made it easier for him to get in touch with Xiaolongnu, and Lu Yao was also very interested in the martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

"Let's offer incense to the master."

Xiaolongnu handed Lu Yao three sticks of incense, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Lu Yao took the incense and carefully placed it in the sandalwood incense burner in front of Lin Suxin's portrait.

"I've met senior sister."

After the worship ceremony, Lu Yao turned around and stood in front of Xiaolongnu, smiling gently.

"Now that you've joined the Ancient Tomb Sect, Junior Brother, I should teach you martial arts on behalf of Master. Is there anything you'd like to learn?"

Little Dragon Girl handed a book to Lu Yao and asked softly.

"I want to learn the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra!"

After reading the list of martial arts techniques of the Ancient Tomb Sect in the book, Lu Yao said to Xiaolongnu with great determination.

Upon hearing Lu Yao's words, a slight blush rose on Xiaolongnu's fair face.

"Hmm~ I'll teach you the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra later. I'll teach you the Heavenly Net Formation first, my brother. This martial art can be combined with your Great Subduing Demon Fist to unleash considerable power."

Xiaolongnu planned to use the Heavenly Net as a temporary measure. Although she did not dislike cultivating the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra with Lu Yao, she was still somewhat shy.

"I'll follow my senior's instructions."

Lu Yao smiled inwardly as he observed Xiaolongnu's reaction.

Lu Yao knew very well how to cultivate the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
