Rampaging Through the Heavens: Starting by sending Chan Ho-nam to Stanley

Chapter 61, 8 hexagrams

Chen Yuan slowly put the small porcelain bottle into his personal space and said with a smile.

"Wouldn't it have been better to cooperate like this earlier?"

"Now I'll ask you."

"Who are you members of the Ming Cult?"

"Ruijinqi".

"Where are the forbidden areas of the Ming Cult?"

Chen Yuan added a sentence.

"That is your holy tomb."

"Ten miles west of here, there is a precipice, and the forbidden area is located in the crack of the precipice."

"There is a huge rock nearby with the words 'Forbidden Area' written on it."

The burly man glared at Chen Yuan and reluctantly revealed the location of the forbidden area.

"That place is riddled with traps and mechanisms. If you dare to go in, you'll surely die a horrible death!"

"You don't need to worry about that."

Chen Yuan got the answer he wanted and shouted to the Fire-Worker Monk not far away.

"Hey guys, what are you doing standing there? Let's go, let's go."

Fire-Worker Monk: "..."

"oh..."

Chen Yuan asked again.

"So, once you strike an acupoint, it can never be undoed?"

"No, that's not it."

"It will automatically unlock in about an hour."

"Alright then."

Chen Yuan and the other two gradually walked away from each other.

The Ruijinqi members, who were frozen in place, fell silent.

Suddenly, the leading burly man spoke.

"What just happened..."

"I will report to the Eagle King myself!"

......

Ten miles was not a long distance for the three of them.

Before long, they stood beneath a giant rock with the words "Forbidden Land" written on it.

Right next to it is a crack in the mountain.

This aligns with what the people from Ruijinqi said, and it also matches what was depicted in the movie.

"Let's go."

Chen Yuan smashed the stone blocking the crack with a single palm strike and was the first to go inside.

He looked somewhat excited.

The Nine Yang Divine Skill added a lot of his attributes; I wonder how much the Great Shift of the Universe will add?

The three entered the forbidden area, but the mechanism mentioned by Ruijin Banner did not appear. Instead, torches on both sides of the passage lit up one after another, dispelling the darkness of the forbidden area.

Zhang Wuji suddenly yelled "Ah!" startling Chen Yuan and the Fire-Worker Monk.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a skeleton leaning against the wall.

Chen Yuan looked speechless.

"Kid, you're supposed to be Zhang Sanfeng's grand-disciple, how come you're afraid of even a skeleton?"

"Isn't this...isn't this scary?"

"What's so scary?"

Chen Yuan looked at the Fire-Worker Monk.

"Old Huo, once we get out of here, let this kid toughen up. He'll be doing big things in the future; how can he be so timid?"

"it is good."

The Fire-Worker Monk replied with a single, muffled voice.

Chen Yuan stopped looking at Zhang Wuji and strode forward.

After going around in circles, we finally arrived at the center of the forbidden area.

In the center of the forbidden area, there is a stone bed, on which sits a skeleton.

Beside the stone bed lay another skeleton, a dagger protruding from its chest.

Chen Yuan walked around the stone bed with his hands behind his back, beckoned Zhang Wuji to him, and pointed to the skeleton sitting on the stone bed.

"Come on, kowtow to Yang Dingtian a few times."

"Yang Dingtian?"

Zhang Wuji repeated the name with a puzzled expression.

Upon hearing this, the Fire-Worker Monk was surprised.

"This is Yang Dingtian?! He actually died here?"

"Old Huo, do you still know him?"

"That's natural."

The Fire-Worker Monk's face showed reminiscence.

"At that time, I was invincible. Yang Dingtian was the last opponent I faced before I went to Zhang Sanfeng."

"Who will win the contest?"

Chen Yuan pressed for an answer.

"Of course I won."

The Fire-Worker Monk puffed out his chest.

"Otherwise, why would I have set foot on Wudang Mountain?"

"I never imagined that decades later, Yang Dingtian would actually pass away here."

"Judging from this, did he die from a qi deviation?"

"No, no, no."

Chen Yuan had a gossipy expression on his face.

"Going astray is the result, being cheated on is the cause."

"You got cheated on?"

The Fire-Worker Monk was puzzled.

"What does this mean?"

Chen Yuan began to tell the story vividly.

"I just couldn't keep my wife in check; she had an affair."

"After discovering this, he became obsessed with it."

"His wife, in order to cover her lover's escape, did not hesitate to threaten suicide."

Finally, his wife and lover ran away, he went mad, and his wife committed suicide.

Fire-Worker Monk: "..."

Even an old monk like him was rendered speechless by this intricate and melodramatic plot, and it took him a long time to finally utter a single sentence.

"A hero of his generation... met such an end."

Chen Yuan said excitedly.

"This isn't the end of the story."

"His wife's lover was named Cheng Kun."

"Old Huo, have you heard of him?"

The Fire-Worker Monk frowned, thought for a moment, and then shook his head.

"This person's martial arts skills are probably not very high; he doesn't meet my standards."

Chen Yuan: "..."

It's like Versailles!

"In short, this person's nickname is Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand. After Yang Dingtian discovered him, he harbored a deep hatred for the Ming Cult and vowed to destroy it."

"So, he first killed his disciple Xie Xun's entire family, driving Xie Xun insane."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wuji's eyes widened instantly, and he interjected.

"The cult leader's wife's lover... is the murderer who killed my godfather's entire family?"

"Exactly!"

Chen Yuan nodded with a smug look on his face.

"Xie Xun went mad and killed many people from the six major sects, causing the Ming Cult to become enemies with the six major sects, which made the Ming Cult's reputation as the 'Demon Cult' even more prominent."

"I estimate that it won't be long before the scene of the six major sects besieging Bright Peak will be staged, thanks to Cheng Kun's instigation."

"Moreover, based on my deduction, the rumor that obtaining the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber would allow one to dominate the martial arts world was most likely spread by that little thief Cheng Kun."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Huogong Toutuo and Zhang Wuji.

Seeing that they didn't answer, he could only continue speaking to himself.

Why?

"Because Cheng Kun defected to the imperial court in order to destroy the Ming Cult, and then, for the sake of the court, he came up with this rumor so that he could wipe out the entire martial arts world in one fell swoop..."

"Never mind, never mind, I'm not going to say anything more."

Zhang Wuji was puzzled.

"Why did you stop talking? Are we going to arrest Cheng Kun?"

"This is boring, I'm not going to talk about it anymore."

Chen Yuan found it uninteresting.

A child and an old monk, neither of whom knew much about the current martial arts world, didn't react much to the conspiracy in the martial arts world.

Let's wait until the big event later.

"Kid, hurry up and come over here and kowtow to Master Yang a few times."

"Although the ending of the Yang Cult Leader was tragic, he was still a figure of importance..."

"oh..."

Zhang Wuji obediently walked over, knelt down in front of Yang Dingtian, and was about to kowtow.

Chen Yuan suddenly thought of something and quickly called out.

"Don't kowtow yet!"

He suddenly thought of a very crucial question.

In the story, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth technique is written in Persian, but nobody here knows Persian!

Zhang Wuji looked puzzled.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then spoke again.

"Go ahead and kowtow, three times and nine times."

"oh..."

Zhang Wuji obediently did as instructed.

As the last kowtow was made, a thunderous sound immediately rang out.

Upon closer inspection, they saw six stone slabs crash down, completely sealing off the room they were in!
