The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

Yang Guo was momentarily stunned.

Grandmaster? Isn't that the Chongyang Patriarch who passed away many years ago?

Yang Guo was surprised, but Wang Jiuling didn't say much. He simply strode towards the city gate.

After returning from the Western Regions, the two monks in plain clothes left halfway.

When they arrived near Xiangyang via a small road outside the city, they saw the Mongol army attacking the city. At that time, Master Yideng's power had not yet recovered, and Patriarch Chongyang happened to be asleep.

Wang Jiuling decided to come to the rescue himself, while the others, unable to enter the city for the time being, rested temporarily in a dilapidated temple outside the city.

Yang Guo quickly followed with Xiaolongnu.

On the way, Wang Jiuling inquired about Yang Guo's experiences over the past six months, and Yang Guo told him the truth.

"So what are your plans?"

When asked by Wang Jiuling, Yang Guo gave the same answer he gave to Guo Jing.

Wang Jiuling seemed to simply nod in agreement, but the corners of his mouth still curled up slightly.

He was afraid that Yang Guo would be struggling with the issue of his father, but seeing Yang Guo's current state, he was finally relieved.

"When you have time, I'll take you for a stroll in a valley near Xiangyang."

"Huh? Master, what valley?"

"A good place, perhaps the place of your destiny. No rush, come with me to see your great-grandmaster first."

"Master! It really is Patriarch Chongyang? This...this is too amazing!"

Ten miles outside the city, in front of a dilapidated temple, Wang Jiuling led Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu to open the temple gate.

Ma Guangzu was the first to come out to greet them.

After exchanging a couple of greetings, a soft cough came from inside the temple.

As soon as Wang Jiuling looked up, he saw Wang Chongyang and Master Yideng walking out together, with Li Daoxuan, who was leaning on a cane, following behind them.

Wang Jiuling's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Grandmaster!"

When he left, the patriarch was still asleep. He would never wake up at this time of day in the past, but he woke up so early today.

When Wang Chongyang saw Wang Jiuling, he smiled and nodded slightly, but his gaze quickly shifted to Yang Guo behind Wang Jiuling.

Yang Guo was stunned at this moment; he was having a mental brainstorming session.

Is this the Grandmaster?

It seems...it does look quite similar to the portraits hanging in the ancient tomb!

He's really alive! My God! This is truly shocking news!

"Yang Guo! Why aren't you paying your respects to your great-grandmaster?"

Yang Guo then realized what was happening and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel before Wang Chongyang.

"Disciple Yang Guo greets Grandmaster!"

Wang Chongyang didn't seem to care about any of this. He simply told Yang Guo to get up and then looked him up and down.

Years ago, when Yang Guo went up the mountain, Wang Chongyang secretly met Yang Guo twice, but Yang Guo was unaware of it.

At that time, Wang Chongyang was greatly affected by his inner demons and insects after meeting Wang Jiuling. He was confused and ignorant, and apart from teaching Wang Jiuling martial arts, he never interacted with anyone else.

On his way back from the Western Regions, he learned about Yang Guo's experiences from Wang Jiuling.

Before Yang Guo could say anything more, Wang Chongyang grabbed his arm and lifted him up from the ground.

Wang Chongyang stared at Yang Guo, his gaze now scrutinizing.

Yang Guo felt extremely nervous at this moment.

This great master was stern and rarely smiled. When they met, he didn't say much, just stared at him, but he exuded an invisible pressure.

Yang Guo wanted to say something, but it was like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

At this moment, Yang Guo remembered what Wang Jiuling had said, that his grandmaster might be angry because his Quanzhen martial arts were not good enough, and he immediately felt uneasy.

In particular, Wang Chongyang tightened his grip on Yang Guo's arm, as if he wanted to see right through Yang Guo with his gaze.

The air in front of the dilapidated temple seemed tense.

Behind them, Xiaolongnu also realized that this was probably Wang Chongyang, and she was extremely shocked. However, she was indifferent by nature, and even though she knew, she just watched coldly.

But Wang Chongyang wouldn't let go of Yang Guo, and Xiaolongnu sensed something was wrong, so she took a step forward.

Her hand had even gripped the hilt of the sword.

Xiaolongnu remained expressionless. She didn't care about Wang Chongyang, but if Wang Chongyang made a move against Yang Guo, she wouldn't care about his identity or martial arts skills.

Yang Guo sensed his aunt's movement behind him, turned around, and cried out in fright, "Auntie, no! I'm alright!"

Wang Jiuling frowned and was about to step forward to stop Xiaolongnu.

The air almost seemed to freeze.

Just now.

Wang Chongyang suddenly released Yang Guo's arm and sighed softly, "Your aptitude is excellent, but it's a pity that the Quanzhen Sect cannot accommodate you."

Wang Chongyang suddenly laughed: "But that's good too!"

Looking at Yang Guo's bewildered face and Xiaolongnu's eyes filled with Yang Guo's gaze, his thoughts couldn't help but drift back to many years ago.

Wang Chongyang recalled how he secretly sneaked into the ancient tomb, shed tears over Lin Chaoying's body, and felt full of regret, yet he could not grasp anything or keep anything.

Time truly is a cycle.

The regrets he shared with Lin Chaoying back then, and the origins of the Ancient Tomb Sect and the Quanzhen Sect.

And now, Jiu Ling's disciple has developed such a relationship with the Ancient Tomb disciple.

Wang Chongyang never forgot Lin Chaoying.

It turns out it's always been a tangled mess.

Wang Chongyang was momentarily dazed; the Yang Guo before him seemed to have transformed into his younger self.

Little Dragon Girl became Lin Chaoying.

The next second, Yang Guo's face became clear again.

Wang Chongyang came to his senses and sighed deeply. It turned out that so many years had already passed.

The beauty has passed away, and he has grown old.

The Yang Guo before him was still Yang Guo, not Wang Chongyang.

Little Dragon Girl is still Little Dragon Girl, not Lin Chaoying.

Things have changed, people are gone, everything is over; only the sorrow of the past remains in this scene.

"Don't let her down!" In the end, Wang Chongyang didn't say much, only giving Yang Guo this advice.

Let's go!

He waved his hand, no longer looking at Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, and took the lead in walking out of the temple.

Behind him, Master Yideng clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha!"

Then he followed with Qiu Qianren.

Li Daoxuan also came up and greeted Yang Guo.

Yang Guo scratched his head, letting out a sigh of relief, but still somewhat puzzled, looking at Wang Jiuling who was still standing to the side without moving.

"Master...Grandmaster isn't angry that I didn't learn the Innate Skill? And...he knows about my affair with my aunt?"

Wang Jiuling patted his shoulder with a smile: "I told Grandmaster about your experiences long ago. Now he's just seeing you with his own eyes... and also Sect Leader Long."

"Let's go! Back to Xiangyang City!"

With that, Wang Jiuling pulled the bewildered Ma Guangzu away.

Yang Guo then realized what was happening.

Good guy!

So Master was just trying to scare him when he said that the Great Master would punish him!

Yang Guo, holding Xiaolongnu's hand, caught up with Wang Jiuling, his face full of disbelief: "Master! I just didn't want to learn your martial arts! How can you hold a grudge against your disciple?"

"Really? I never hold grudges!"

"Oh right, I remember when you joined the Ancient Tomb Sect, there was some rule about spitting on portraits..."

"Master! No! I'll practice the Quanzhen Swordplay as soon as I get back!"

...

Who would have thought that Wang Chongyang had just finished reminiscing and suppressing his grief?

But not long after returning to the Guo residence, his beloved disciple Wang Jiuling stabbed him in the back again.
