……………………………… I am a pure dividing line ……………………………………

In front of Dasheng Pass, two red banners hung horizontally.

One banner read, "Only great heroes can remain true to their nature," and the other banner read, "True scholars are naturally graceful."

"What a grand scene." Zhao Ling'er, seeing this, said.

Zhao Hao also frowned slightly.

As a fortress, Dasheng Pass had its gates wide open, no wonder Jinlun could later enter unimpeded.

This level of vigilance was truly abysmal.

Most importantly, as a fortress with soldiers stationed, it had become a gathering place for martial artists, and the soldiers did not intervene at all.

As the Crown Prince of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Hao could not be happy seeing this situation.

"Let's go in." Zhao Hao took the lead, and Yang Guo, Zhongxin, and others followed closely behind.

Just as they entered Dasheng Pass, Zhao Hao's ears twitched, and he quietly made a gesture. They each rode their horses to the side.

Then, a group from the Quanzhen Sect rode in.

"Master Uncle Hao, when we meet Guo Daxia, he will surely ask about the situation of that young Yang Guo at Chongyang Palace. How should we explain it to him?" Zhao Zhijing asked.

Enemies meeting, the anger was particularly intense.

Seeing Zhao Zhijing, Yang Guo's anger immediately flared up, his veins bulging, but he still suppressed his rage.

He knew what Zhao Hao's mission was, and Yang Guo now understood the gravity of the situation.

Zhao Hao glanced at Yang Guo and nodded.

In this life, Yang Guo might not be as brilliant as in the original story, with high martial arts and fame across the land, but in Zhao Hao's eyes, this Yang Guo was more real and more respectable.

His future achievements might not be inferior to "God of the Condor."

The "Master Uncle Hao" in Zhao Zhijing's mouth was naturally Hao Datong, one of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

He was injured by Li Mochou years ago, and his condition was uncertain.

However, now that he could attend the Heroes' Assembly, it was clear that his injuries had mostly healed.

"There's nothing to explain. Just tell the truth." Hao Datong did not speak, but Sun Budan, the only female among the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, did.

"We have been hiding the fact that Yang Guo escaped from Chongyang Palace for so long. We have failed to live up to Guo Daxia's trust." Zhao Zhijing said.

He knew his own actions very well.

If he could, he really wouldn't want to attend this Heroes' Assembly.

Unfortunately, he had no choice and had to come.

"Yang Guo is a piece of rotten wood that no one can carve. Otherwise, Guo Jing wouldn't have sent him to Chongyang Palace. Our Quanzhen Sect has already done our best for him." Sun Budan sneered.

As the group from the Quanzhen Sect gradually moved away, Yang Guo's clenched fists slowly relaxed.

"Don't mind it. Sun Budan has a problem with her Daoist cultivation. The Quanzhen Sect won't last long. When the time comes, you'll see if she still has the same arrogance." Zhao Hao said.

"Brother, I understand the principle, but hearing them talk like that, I can't help but feel angry. Are the people of the Quanzhen Sect human, and others not? Sun Budan has only met me a few times, so why does she feel entitled to criticize me?" Yang Guo said.

"The Quanzhen Sect has been too high and mighty for too long. Sun Budan probably still thinks the Quanzhen Sect is the same as during Wang Chongyang's time, revered by all. This attitude is not because of you; even if it were someone else, Sun Budan would have the same attitude." Zhongxin said with a light laugh.

As the Shaolin Sect's leader, he was very familiar with Sun Budan's mindset.

Most of the Shaolin Sect's hall leaders were no different from Sun Budan.

It was just that the Shaolin Sect was more low-key and had been out of the world for a long time, with no ties to the martial world, unlike the current Quanzhen Sect, which was too prominent but lacked sufficient strength.

This was a major taboo.

"For such people, no amount of talk will do. The best way is to use strength to make them face reality. The more polite you are to them, the more they think of themselves. Guo Jing doesn't understand this principle." Zhao Ling'er said.

Sure enough, in front of Guishuang Manor, Guo Jing and Huang Rong were standing at the door, waiting for the Quanzhen Sect's group to arrive.

"Great Hero Guo, Leader Huang, the Quanzhen Sect's group has come to pay our respects." Zhao Zhijing said.

Zhao Hao and the others also came to the front of Guishuang Manor to observe coldly.

"Thank you for your long journey, Daoists." Huang Rong clasped her hands and said.

"Hao Daoist, Sun Daoist, Brother Zhao, Brother Zhen, you have had a long journey. We have prepared tea and rice in the manor. Please come in and have a meal." Guo Jing paused and continued, "Why didn't Daoist Qiu and Daoist Ma come?"

"Daoists Ma, Liu, Qiu, and Wang received the Hero's Invitation from Leader Huang and were originally planning to attend. However, Daoist Ma is unwell, and Daoists Qiu and the others are treating him, so they cannot come. They asked us to apologize to Leader Huang and Great Hero Guo." Hao Datong said.

"Please, please, Hao Daoist, you are too polite." Guo Jing clasped his hands and smiled lightly.

"The Daoists of the Quanzhen Sect are really good at lying. Ma Yu is in good health and has no problems. They don't want to attend the Heroes' Assembly because they have seen that the Quanzhen Sect cannot be the main character in this Heroes' Assembly. So they sent the least useful of the Seven Masters, Hao Datong and Sun Budan. This time, Guo Jing and Huang Rong are holding the Heroes' Assembly, ostensibly to discuss how to deal with the Mongols. The Quanzhen Sect doesn't want to get involved, but they can't ignore the Hero's Invitation. So they can only send Hao Datong and Sun Budan, along with a few juniors, to go through the motions." Yiyi commented.

Yiyi and her twin sister Linlin were in charge of the intelligence work of the Power Gang, and their understanding of the Quanzhen Sect was much clearer than that of ordinary people. Hao Datong's words could fool Guo Jing, but not her.

"It doesn't matter whether more or fewer people come. Two useless people, or seven useless people, are still useless. If I want to destroy the Quanzhen Sect, their presence or absence will make no difference." Zhao Hao said.

"Your Highness, Princess, let's find a place to rest. The Heroes' Assembly hasn't started yet, and it's inconvenient for us to show ourselves now. Moreover, the owner of Guishuang Manor, Lu Guanying, is from the Peach Blossom Island lineage, and his wife Cheng Yaogar is Sun Budan's disciple. We don't need to alert them." Yiyi said.

"Let's find Linlin. She should have made the arrangements. Brother, I have entrusted the tasks you gave me to Linlin." Zhao Ling'er said.

Zhao Hao nodded and said, "That's good. I hope Linlin can control her temper a bit. Before the Heroes' Assembly, we shouldn't be too high-profile."

The "fire" in "Fire Phoenix" represents Linlin's temper.

Her temper is like a raging fire, easily ignited. If not for Zhao Ling'er, she would have caused a lot of trouble.

"Don't worry, Linlin knows when to do what." Zhao Ling'er said.

Sometimes, one's personality is just a facade.
