A Blood-Moving Realm has arrived in the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes.

The door to the secret room was no different from any other door, except that it looked older and more dilapidated.

Zhang Huai stepped forward and gently pushed the door, but it didn't budge.

Just as he was about to forcefully break down the door, Yang Guo quickly reached out to stop him.

"Brother Huai, no! There's a Quanzhen Sect locking talisman on the door."

"A door-locking charm?"

Zhang Huai asked in return, his face full of doubt, as he had never heard of such a thing before.

"That's right. This door-locking talisman looks like a rune, but it's actually a mechanism. I heard back when I was in the Quanzhen Sect that if you forcefully break the lock and push the door open, it will trigger the mechanism and destroy everything inside. This is a method used by the Quanzhen Sect to protect their precious treasures."

"What the heck? Luckily I was a little slow, otherwise I would have destroyed the Nine Yin Manual with my own hands! Those old Taoists are so disloyal, they didn't mention such an important matter at all. It seems they don't want us to see the Nine Yin Manual at all."

Zhang Huai muttered somewhat unhappily.

"Then how do we open this lock?" Little Dragon Girl's cool voice rang out.

"I've heard it said that one must infuse the talisman with the corresponding internal energy to unlock it," Yang Guo replied.

"Corresponding internal energy? Where are we supposed to find that? These old men are clearly deliberately making things difficult for us."

Xiaolongnu frowned slightly, her tone unusually impatient.

"Why don't we grab that old man outside and interrogate him?"

"Huh? That might not be appropriate," Yang Guo said, looking surprised.

"There's no need," Zhang Huai suddenly said, interrupting the two.

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu both turned to look at him, their faces full of confusion.

"What do you mean by 'Brother Huai'?" Yang Guo pressed.

"Isn't that simple? The original purpose of this locking talisman is to prevent outsiders from obtaining the Nine Yin Manual. Who is it primarily protecting against? It must be the disciples within the Quanzhen Sect, since they are the ones closest to the Nine Yin Manual. If other martial artists want to get their hands on the manual, they must first get past the Quanzhen Sect."

Yang Guo nodded thoughtfully, and Zhang Huai continued, "Since they don't want the Quanzhen disciples to open it, the internal energy required for this Quanzhen Lock must be something that the Quanzhen disciples can never obtain."

With the capabilities of the Quanzhen Sect, there are very few internal energy cultivation techniques in the world that they cannot obtain, but there is one that they are certain they cannot acquire.

Zhang Huai stopped speaking at this point, and Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, who were standing to the side, suddenly realized what was going on.

"Brother Huai, are you talking about the internal energy of the Ancient Tomb Sect?"

"That's right. In the whole world, only the internal strength of the Ancient Tomb Sect is something that the Quanzhen Sect can never obtain or acquire."

"Then why don't we give it a try?" Yang Guo asked tentatively.

"Of course we should try."

Wang Chongyang could never have imagined that less than forty years after his death, two orthodox disciples of the Ancient Tomb Sect would stand before the door to the secret chamber he had set up.

Little Dragon Girl stepped forward and said calmly, "Let me do it."

After saying that, she silently circulated the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and the cool internal energy flowed slowly through her body, gathering in her palm.

She gently placed her jade-like hand on the lock talisman on the tomb door, and her inner energy slowly flowed into the door through her palm.

A crisp "click" came from inside the door, and the heavy wooden door slowly opened inward on its own.

One hundred and eight eternal lamps hung on the stone wall inside the door, their flickering candlelight illuminating the entire secret chamber.

In the very center of the secret room stood a wooden platform, upon which lay a roll of human skin paper.

The three dared not make any rash moves, and Zhang Huai raised his hand and threw the black gold staff into it.

The moment the black gold staff rolled down in front of the wooden platform, dozens of hidden grooves suddenly appeared in the stone walls on both sides, and hundreds of arrows shot out from the grooves. The rain of arrows was dense and lasted for a full quarter of an hour before it gradually stopped.

Zhang Huai clicked his tongue and muttered, "That Wang Chongyang is really cunning! He really doesn't want anyone to get the Nine Yin Manual! You two stay here, I'll go in and check it out first."

Zhang Huai was physically strong and confident that he could withstand any hidden traps.

He moved lightly and cautiously toward the wooden platform, and there were no further unexpected events as he walked to it.

However, he still dared not let his guard down. He carefully walked around the entire secret room, repeatedly confirming that there were no other mechanisms before waving to the two people outside the secret room.

"Come in, everyone, there are no more traps."

Upon hearing this, Yang and Long stepped inside with peace of mind.

Zhang Huai reached out and picked up the human skin paper from the wooden table. He saw that there were characters carved on the surface of the table. The strokes were very similar to the characters on the plaque of the Sutra Repository. He figured it must have been carved by Wang Chongyang himself.

The first thing that catches the eye is sixteen powerful characters:

Nine Yin Manual is not evil; martial arts have no boundaries. Those who are destined will obtain it; those who recklessly seize it will perish.

Beside the large characters, several lines of smaller annotations were also engraved:

"I founded the Quanzhen School, advocating the pure cultivation of Chongyang. Although the Nine Yin Manual is considered evil by the world, martial arts are inherently neither good nor evil; it all depends on the practitioner's heart. The traps are not for personal gain, but to prevent wicked people from using this manual to wreak havoc on the martial world. If you find someone with the right affinity, reading this manual will allow you to absorb the strengths of a hundred schools and make up for any deficiencies in your martial arts. If you are greedy, you will be entangled in these traps and bring disaster upon yourself. Written by Chongyang."

"Tsk tsk tsk."

After reading the handwriting left by Wang Chongyang, Zhang Huai clicked his tongue repeatedly.

"What do you mean 'the one with the right fate'? I think this was left specifically for the Ancient Tomb Sect."

"Why would Brother Huai say that?" Yang Guo asked, puzzled.

"Do you really think anyone in this world can capture a member of the Ancient Tomb Sect alive and force them to use their internal energy to open this locking talisman?"

"Of course not," Little Dragon Girl immediately said from the side, her tone full of unwavering confidence.

The martial arts skills of the founder, Lin Chaoying, were no less than those of Wang Chongyang, and no one in the world could defeat her.

Even Li Mochou, a third-generation disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, ventured into the martial arts world before fully mastering all of the sect's skills. She was known as the Red Serpent Fairy. Although her actions were despised by people in the martial arts world, no one was ever able to subdue her. This demonstrates the formidable strength of the Ancient Tomb Sect's martial arts.

As for Xiaolongnu herself, her martial arts skills were even stronger than that of her senior sister. There were very few people in the world who could defeat her.

"Moreover," Zhang Huai continued, "the arrows that were just shot out, although they seemed dense and unavoidable, actually contained opportunities for survival within the rain of arrows, but these opportunities could only be obtained with extremely strong movement techniques."

The Ancient Tomb Sect's movement techniques are unparalleled in the world.

Therefore, even if someone could force the Ancient Tomb Sect disciples to unlock the door, they would still be unable to escape this barrage of arrows.

Of course, unless someone is as smart as Zhang Huai.

Zhang Huai: I'm a genius.

After all, almost no one could open this tomb door, so when someone actually did open it, they wouldn't have thought there would be traps inside.

Yang Guo, who was listening from the side, nodded in agreement repeatedly:

"It seems that Wang Chongyang felt ashamed before his ancestor, so he secretly supported her descendants in this way. However, these descendants must be extraordinary, since they must first pass the test of the entire Quanzhen Sect in order to enter the secret chamber of the Hidden Merit Pavilion."

"That's right. He really went to great lengths. Even someone as righteous as him couldn't let go of his grievances in the end," Zhang Huai said with emotion.

"But his expectations are not in vain. We are not the kind of people with evil intentions. It is best for such a peerless skill to fall into our hands."

Yang Guo chuckled, his words brimming with barely suppressed anticipation.

"Brother Huai, quickly open the paper shroud and take a look!"
