In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

"Brother Gu, isn't the Wudang Sect a sect from the Ming Dynasty? How did it end up in the Song Dynasty?"

Yang Guo had always been curious about the Ancient Tomb, so when he saw that Gu Hanyuan was easy to talk to, he took the opportunity to call him Brother Gu and asked about things outside.

"Naturally, it's for the purpose of traveling the world and broadening my horizons. As the saying goes, 'Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles.' If you just shut yourself in and work in isolation, you will never make any progress in either your thinking or your martial arts skills. Moreover, in recent years, the world has been in chaos, the righteous have declined while the evil has grown, and there are all sorts of problems in the martial arts world and the imperial court. The situation between countries is also very tense. I may not have the ability to save the world and the people, but I would like to do what I can."

Gu Hanyuan tried to make it sound more noble, but he knew very well that it was all for his own ambition.

Yang Guo indeed showed admiration.

Xiaolongnu couldn't help but glance at Gu Hanyuan again, feeling that this person was indeed extraordinary.

As the saying goes, the more someone feels they cannot do something, the more they will admire those with lofty ideals.

"Brother Gu, where have you been? Tell me more about your experiences in the martial arts world."

Yang Guo was ultimately more interested in the martial arts world.

Then Gu Hanyuan began to introduce the situation of the martial arts world in various countries to Yang Guo, and at the same time, he brought up a few magnificent events to arouse his interest.

If Yang Guo had stayed in the Ancient Tomb, Xiaolongnu would never have considered leaving.

But Yang Guo was a man whose heart was in the mortal world, and because he was busy practicing martial arts, he didn't find it boring.

Now that we have access to information, it's easy to be drawn to the colorful world outside.

If Gu Hanyuan could trick Yang Guo into leaving, he would have a reason to take Xiaolongnu away from the Ancient Tomb.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Yang Guo started discussing it with Gu Hanyuan with great interest, his eyes seemingly shining.

At first, Xiaolongnu seemed quite interested in listening to it.

But seeing Yang Guo's excited expression later, I became somewhat worried.

She didn't want to leave the ancient tomb, yet it seemed she couldn't stop Yang Guo.

Perhaps he could wait in the ancient tomb, but Granny Sun had entrusted Yang Guo to her before her death, and if she let him travel the world alone, she would inevitably worry about the grave.

As the two got into a lively conversation, Yang Guo also told Gu Hanyuan about Guo Jing and Huang Rong.

Although he disliked Huang Rong, he greatly admired and worshipped Guo Jing, who took care of him.

After obtaining the information he wanted, Gu Hanyuan's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. He already had a way to trick Yang Guo out of the Ancient Tomb even if Xiaolongnu objected.

They walked towards Chongyang Palace, only to find that there wasn't a single disciple in sight.

As they approached the mountain gate, they heard sounds of fighting coming from ahead.

Chapter 58: Rescuing Li Mochou

Gu Hanyuan stared intently at it.

A beautiful Taoist nun was being besieged by several Quanzhen Taoist priests in front of the Chongyang Palace gate.

The nun was in her thirties, with bright eyes and white teeth, fair skin, and rosy cheeks. She was a stunning beauty, and it was none other than Li Mochou.

At this moment, Li Mochou was wielding her whisk, struggling to defend herself, and occasionally throwing out a few Ice Soul Silver Needles to repel the longswords that were attacking her.

The main force of the siege was Qiu Chuji, Hao Datong, and Sun Bu'er, while the other disciples could only play a supporting role.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Ma Yu, Wang Chuyi, and Liu Chuxuan were watching the battle and providing support.

There were also more than a dozen Quanzhen disciples lying dead on the ground around them, which meant that although there were many disciples surrounding them, very few dared to step forward.

Li Mochou's apprentice, Hong Lingbo, was currently being restrained by several Quanzhen disciples with swords, unable to move.

Hong Lingbo was about twenty years old, wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe. Her skin was fair and smooth, and her eyes were bright and sparkling. She was also a beautiful young woman who scored 87 points.

Of course, she was still inferior to Li Mochou in many ways.

In Gu Hanyuan's opinion, although Li Mochou's phoenix eyes were filled with murderous intent and she was ruthless and cruel, she was still very beautiful. Although she could not compare to Xiaolongnu, she was still a beauty who scored over 90 points.

It can only be said that the Ancient Tomb Sect does have some tricks up its sleeve when it comes to selecting disciples.

Gu Hanyuan didn't have time to wonder how Li Mochou was going against the Quanzhen Sect.

Then Sun Bu'er used the Quanzhen Sword, a divine weapon bestowed by Wang Chongyang, to cut off Li Mochou's whisk, instantly opening the central gate wide.

Seeing an opportunity, Qiu Chuji was about to stab Li Mochou in the chest with his sword.

Li Mochou's impulsive act of fighting back led to her death, and before she died, she thought of Lu Zhanyuan, whom she had loved but hated.

She recalled the beautiful times she spent in love with Lu Zhanyuan when she was young and naive.

Just as I was about to recite the classic line, "What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for it?"

Suddenly, she felt someone wrap their arms around her waist, while Qiu Chuji's long sword moved further and further away from her.

All I heard were clear and gentle voices coming from beside me.

"Is the girl okay?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mochou subconsciously turned her head and saw a handsome man with gentle eyes asking her with concern.

Li Mochou was stunned for a moment, feeling the hot and strong hand on her waist, and felt her whole body go weak.

Fortunately, he was gently released soon, and only then did he have time to examine the other person closely.

Dressed in simple white robes, with jet-black hair tied back with a ribbon, he was even more handsome than Lu Zhanyuan, possessing a dashing figure and holding a sheathed longsword. He seemed to perfectly embody the image of a handsome young swordsman from martial arts novels. Looking at him for a while made my cheeks flush.

However, she soon realized that the other party had saved her. For Li Mochou, this was truly a novel experience.

After all, he has always been known for his ruthlessness since he started his career in the martial arts world. Even Lu Zhanyuan used to treat him like a little puppy.

Gu Hanyuan then said loudly:

"I never expected that the famous Quanzhen Sect would bully the weak and gang up on a woman. It is truly an eye-opener for me."

Li Mochou hadn't expected Gu Hanyuan to speak in defense of her, and even though she was usually cold-hearted, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.

"Who are you, Your Excellency?"

Qiu Chuji was the most shocked, because he had just watched helplessly as the other party strolled away from him, arm in arm with Li Mochou.

Seeing that such superb lightness skill was displayed by a young man, the old man's face turned somewhat ugly.

Gu Hanyuan still managed to maintain perfect etiquette, bowing with his hands clasped in greeting.

"Gu Hanyuan of the Wudang Sect has come to pay his respects."

"Wudang Sect!"

The Quanzhen Sect members exclaimed in surprise.

Among the various states in the Central Plains, Taoism was weak in the Sui Dynasty, with only Ning Daoqi, who was willing to be a lackey of the Buddhist Cihang Jingzhai sect. The Quanzhen School was dominant in the Song Dynasty, and the Wudang School was the only one in the Ming Dynasty.

As fellow Taoists, they naturally clashed, each vying to extend their influence into the other's country.

In the early years, when Wang Chongyang was still alive, the two factions were evenly matched and neither was superior to the other.

After Wang Chongyang's death, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, who led the Quanzhen School, were all considered experts, but their talents were limited. Not a single one of them became a Grandmaster. Only their Big Dipper Formation could still intimidate the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty.

"Go" to advertise? Die, Mom. But in the end, the Big Dipper Formation is just a way to bully the weak with the many, which inevitably attracts a lot of criticism.

Therefore, in order to maintain the prestige of the Quanzhen School, they had no choice but to accept many disciples indiscriminately, totaling nearly 10,000, who were distributed throughout the Song Dynasty.

In contrast, the Wudang Sect is gaining increasing prestige. It not only has Zhang Sanfeng, the number one martial artist in the Ming Dynasty, but also many grandmaster-level elders. The Seven Heroes of Wudang, the mainstay of the sect, are much stronger than the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, and several of them have already broken through to the level of grandmaster.

Today, the Wudang Sect, their biggest rival, actually sent a young disciple to pay respects, and even rescued Li Mochou in front of Qiu Chuji and others.

This is practically a slap in the face.

Qiu Chuji's expression grew increasingly grim.

Suddenly, they saw Zhen Zhibing being held captive by Yang Guo, looking disheveled and miserable.

"Zhi Bing!"

It turns out that Qiu Chuji's beloved disciple, Zhen Zhibing, suddenly disappeared last night, and the unsuccessful search naturally caused quite a stir.

As a result, today I ran into Li Mochou, who was on her way to the Ancient Tomb to cause trouble for Xiaolongnu.

Li Mochou's infamous reputation as the Red Serpent Fairy spread far and wide, leading them to believe that she had murdered Zhen Zhibing, and they confronted her.

Li Mochou disliked the Quanzhen Taoists to begin with, and when confronted directly, she didn't bother to explain and simply killed them.

This stirred up a hornet's nest. After being besieged and attacked by several waves of Quanzhen disciples, they simply attacked the Quanzhen Sect itself.

As a result, we have the current situation.

"Release Zhibing immediately!"

Qiu Chuji, who was quick-tempered, shouted at Yang Guo in a stern voice.

Gu Hanyuan naturally wouldn't let him show off.

"Your Quanzhen Sect has truly taught a fine disciple, spying on women late at night and even attempting to commit beastly acts while they are being acupunctured."

"impossible!"

Qiu Chuji did not believe what Gu Hanyuan said at all.

"Zhen Zhibing, why don't you say it yourself? We didn't silence you, so why don't you argue back?"

Gu Hanyuan knew very well that Zhen Zhibing was not inherently bad; he was just blinded by Xiaolongnu's beauty, and was otherwise trustworthy.

Zhen Zhibing's face was ashen. He had already suffered enough to be disgraced, but he had also dragged his sect down with him.
