The Return of the Condor Heroes: Starting with Conquering Huang Rong

"Husband, do you think the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra really makes you look beautiful?"

"Moon, you can tell from Long'er's reaction that the effect is quite significant. Moreover, the Nine Yin Manual is the supreme foundation of Taoist self-cultivation, so we will at least live longer than ordinary people."

After Yang Guo finished speaking, he saw that the woman was sullen.

"Moon, what's wrong?"

Li Mochou shook her head and sighed, "I spent the first half of my life striving for the Heart Sutra. Now, I have not only obtained the Heart Sutra but also the Nine Yin Manual. However, I no longer have the same drive as before. Now, all I want is to accompany my husband for the rest of my life."

"Yes, I will," Yang Guo said firmly.

Li Mochou was overjoyed.

"By the way, husband, this Nine Yin Manual only has a section corresponding to the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra. Does that affect cultivation?"

Yang Guo has been practicing both the Nine Yang and Nine Yin techniques simultaneously these days.

Now his skill has greatly increased, as can be seen from his daily leaps and bounds through the mountains; the Golden Goose Technique has been practiced without pause.

The Quanzhen Sect was so agitated that they suspected another strange bird had appeared in the mountains and wanted to form a team to search for it.

The two lingered for a long time before finally descending the mountain.

Yang Guo swept past the treetops and sped down.

Li Mochou rested her head on his shoulder, her eyes slightly raised, watching the moonlight chase after them. Her lover carried her at high speed. Although this life was repeating itself day after day, she no longer had the restless state of mind she used to have.

Not only that, she seemed to prefer this kind of life, and then she knew what she was looking for.

As the two sped down the road.

A crimson figure flashed through the woods, seemingly climbing a mountain.

She was completely unaware of Yang Guo and his companion, who glided past overhead like wild geese.

But Yang Guo saw her clearly.

Although his face was covered, the figure was very familiar to him, and Yang Guo was shaken.

My heart is filled with longing; could she be here?

But how could that be!

After sending the exhausted Li Mochou back to the Ancient Tomb, Yang Guo hurriedly went up the mountain again.

They searched the entire mountain.

He moved quickly and lightly.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find any trace of the beauty, which made him think for a moment that it was just his imagination.

Undeterred, he started searching again.

This time, he could only look towards the Quanzhen Sect.

Sure enough, the sounds of fighting could be heard as soon as they got close.

"Master, who is this woman? Why did she smash that sign at the foot of the mountain? What kind of martial arts is she using? It's incredibly powerful."

She actually broke through the sword formation set up by the Quanzhen disciples in no time. It seems that this woman is very knowledgeable about the I Ching, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams.

The disciples who were guarding the perimeter rushed forward to fill in.

Zhao Zhijing's face was ashen as he looked at the battle formation and asked, "Have my fellow martial uncles arrived yet?"

Lu Qingdu, who was standing beside him, replied in a panic, "Our senior uncles are on their way."

Zhao Zhijing cursed, "You're more trouble than you're worth. What kind of things have been going on in the Taoist temple lately? Female ghosts, Yang Guo, and strange birds."

They finally made it up the mountain to find Yang Guo, only to encounter this strange woman in scarlet clothes.

"Master, please calm down. If we catch this woman later, I'll let you vent your anger."

Seeing that his disciples were about to collapse, Zhao Zhijing hurriedly shouted, "Who are you? Why are you breaking into my Quanzhen Sect at night?"

"Do you really think I'm completely defenseless?"

The woman in scarlet asked in a hoarse voice, "Where is Yang Guo?"

Zhao Zhijing cursed inwardly; he also wanted to know where Yang Guo was.

Zhao Zhijing angrily said, "Yang Guo is not here."

"He's not here? What's with the sign at the foot of the mountain? You've never seen Yang Guo, so why are you stopping him from going up the mountain?"

Zhao Zhijing was furious; this woman was being completely unreasonable.

What, is it not allowed to welcome Yang Guo here?

People from Peach Blossom Island aren't welcome here yet.

"You woman, how rude! Do you really think this is your backyard?" Zhao Zhijing said, drawing his sword to confront the enemy as the sword formation broke.

He wanted to stall the woman until his uncles arrived.

"You woman, why aren't you home in the middle of the night? What handsome young man are you looking for? Are you having an affair with him? So what if Yang Guo is in my Quanzhen Sect? Come and get him if you dare!"

After Zhao Zhijing finished speaking, he got into a fighting stance and waited for the woman to attack.

The woman's eyes held a fierce look.

The temperature around him seemed to drop slightly.

The woman moved nimbly left and right, seemingly very slowly, but in reality, she instantly covered several meters and struck Zhao Zhijing with her claw.

Before the claws arrive, the yin energy arrives first.

Zhao Zhijing felt his internal energy flow was blocked, and he was unable to resist it.

Barely managing to parry, with a sharp crack, the sword he was using to block broke. Then, claw-like force penetrated, and Zhao Zhijing was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string.

"This is your last chance. Hand over Yang Guo, or I will show no mercy with my next claw."

Zhao Zhijing coughed up blood. You fucking showed mercy?

Zhao Zhijing pointed at the woman and started cursing.

This woman is so arrogant. He was actually threatened in his own little corner of the world. If he backs down, how will he manage Quanzhen in the future?

Moreover, he really didn't believe that this woman would dare to kill him for a rumor whose truth was unknown.

If you want Yang Guo, then come on over.

After stopping the bleeding, Zhao Zhijing shouted, "You vicious woman, you wait! Yang Guo is in my hands. If I lose a single hair, I'll kill him tonight. You'd better..."

The hoarse voice rang out again: "You deserve to die."

The woman's right hand lashed out again, and this time Zhao Zhijing felt as if the air around him was being squeezed, as if another giant five-fingered claw was trying to grab his neck.

He was terrified; if he were caught red-handed, he would be dead.

Lu Qingdu shouted, "Witch, my master has arrived! You're dead!" He retreated as he shouted.

The woman slightly reduced her strength, but unexpectedly, a powerful voice came from afar: "Heroine, spare her life!"

Before the man arrived, the sword arrived first.

The woman had no choice but to change her move to block the flying sword.

Then he gracefully withdrew.

Her expression was solemn; three of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen had actually come.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Chuji and Wang Chuyi were also there.

The woman had a bad feeling.

If they form a battle formation, she fears she won't be able to defend herself with her claw techniques alone. If she were to unleash her full power, her identity would likely be exposed in no time.

Where is that jerk? She had only planned to see him once and then leave, but she had been looking for him for ages and couldn't find him anywhere.

Is he really not from the Quanzhen Sect?

"Heroine, why have you clashed with one of my disciples?"

When Zhao Zhijing saw that his master had also emerged from seclusion, he was overjoyed and said to Wang Chuyi, "Master, it must be this woman who has come to our Quanzhen Sect several times! Many medicinal herbs were missing from the storeroom before, and she has been wandering around these mountains every day. These days, she has also been causing trouble with some strange bird, making it impossible for the disciples to cultivate in peace."

"Now they're looking for some Yang Guo again, who injured my disciples. Master and all my senior brothers and sisters, you must stand up for us!"

Zhao Zhijing blamed everything on the woman, since she had beaten him so badly that he was vomiting and feeling dizzy.

The woman in scarlet, however, smiled.

This Taoist priest has a sharp tongue; it seems there are still many things in these mountains that she hasn't found yet.

"Heroine, why did you infiltrate my sect at night?"

The woman's voice was hoarse as she said, "Master Chongyang's fame is widespread; he served his country and its people, dedicating himself to the martial arts world of the Central Plains until his death. As for the Old Urchin Zhou Botong, he was pure and sincere, embodying the Dao of non-action and naturalness, reaching a level many aspire to but cannot attain. And the rest…"

"You can only attack a young man? What, aren't the martial arts masterpieces of the Central Divine enough for you to learn? You even want to covet the martial arts of other schools!"

Another hot-tempered man, Hao Datong, stepped forward and angrily said, "You woman, you're being unreasonable and do you think you're the only one in Quanzhen?" He was about to make a move.

Qiu Chuji shouted, "Junior brother, come back!"

Hao Datong was furious, but he dared not disobey.

It's because he can't beat Qiu Chuji.

"I see that you know a great deal about my Quanzhen sect, so you must have some dealings with it. I wonder if you could reveal your true form? It would be a shame if this were a case of 'the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple.'"

The woman turned to Zhao Zhijing and asked, "Is Yang Guo in the mountains?"

Zhao Zhijing, however, dared not lie in front of his elders, and immediately exclaimed, "I have never even met Yang Guo."

He hadn't seen it, but some people had.

A glint of light shone in his eyes; he now strongly suspected that Qingxu, whom Qingming had taken in as an outer disciple, was Yang Guo.

He certainly didn't want to voice these speculations; he wanted to collect them himself.

The woman had a keen eye; seeing that his thoughts were elsewhere, she suspected he was hiding something.

But now that the three disciples of Quanzhen have appeared, she can no longer continue her pursuit.

We have no choice but to retreat.

"Young lady, are you trying to leave?"

Wang Chuyi stepped forward and said, "There are many troubles among our disciples right now. We hope that you will rest for the time being and move to the Quanzhen Sect. Once we have investigated the truth, we will naturally send you down the mountain."

The Quanzhen Sect is currently facing many troubles, and now this woman of unknown identity has arrived. Now that he is in charge, how can he allow such a person to come and go as she pleases?

"Junior brother, you..."

"Senior brother, this is, after all, the territory of our Quanzhen Sect. This woman was hiding and even injured one of our disciples. We will not make things difficult for her. If the previous incident had nothing to do with her, we will definitely let her leave safely."

Qiu Chuji knew better than to say anything more.

Seeing this, Hao Datong rubbed his fists and stepped forward.

Zhao Zhijing was overjoyed at the sight and quickly gave Lu Qingdu a wink. Lu Qingdu understood and led his disciples to block the entrance.

The woman calmly replied, "Master, if Yang Guo is not on the mountain, I advise you all to explain as soon as possible. Otherwise, some martial arts practitioners won't be interested in so many things and might come up here soon."

She didn't care about anything else and planned to rush down the mountain, even if she was exposed.

Anyway, she didn't give these old Taoist priests a friendly look.

If it weren't for Qiu Chuji, she wouldn't have even given him a heads-up.

"Trying to leave?"

Seeing this, Wang Chuyi also drew his sword, coordinating with Hao Datong's thrust forward to block the woman's retreat.

The woman's fingers were already poised to strike.

Just then.

A furious shout shattered the silence of the night.

"stop!"

Immediately afterwards, a young man in white robes walked down the mountain as if stepping through the air and entered the airspace above the battle zone.

The young man was like a visitor from outer space, stepping into the mortal world, his black hair dancing and his white clothes fluttering.

What an outstanding and handsome young man!

There is such a young man in this world, has he just descended to earth?

The woman couldn't help but stare, mesmerized.

He remained completely still, letting the two old Taoist priests thrust their swords at him.

At this moment, Qiu Chuji, who was outside the formation, saw the young man's movement technique and his expression changed drastically.

Yang Guo continued without stopping, and thankfully, he finally arrived.

I knew it was her at first glance.

He formed his right hand into a claw and swung it at the woman in mid-air. An invisible force lifted the woman directly from the ground.

The woman took the opportunity to throw herself into his arms.

The two couldn't help but tremble as soon as they touched.

The two people slowly floated down from the sky.

"I miss you so much."

"Me...me too, I miss you so much."
