An unexpected encounter with the sleeping Little Dragon Girl leads to the annihilation of the Quanzh

He's the "demon" Lin Ye, does he really need to abide by these formalities?

She had already put on the white dress, but it was wet and clung to her body, making her exquisite curves even more breathtaking.

Her cheeks were still flushed, and her eyes darted away, avoiding his gaze.

Lin Ye quickly put on his Taoist robe and walked up to her.

"Miss Long, how are you feeling?"

When the topic turned to business, Xiaolongnu relaxed a little.

She sensed the surging internal energy within her body, her eyes widening in disbelief: "So...so powerful! I feel my strength is more than twice as strong as before!"

"More than double."

Lin Ye laughed, "Our cultivation methods complement each other, yin and yang harmonize. Cultivating in this Cold Jade Pool will be twice as effective with half the effort. If we do this every day from now on, in less than a year, neither the Five Greats nor the Golden Wheel Dharma King will be a match for us!"

His eyes gleamed with a light called ambition.

He is not one to be subservient to others.

Previously, within the Quanzhen Sect, there was neither opportunity nor strength.

Now, he has it.

With the Nine Yin Manual, the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, and his dual cultivation with Little Dragon Girl, his future is limitless!

As for the Quanzhen Sect...

Lin Ye curled his lips slightly.

A group of hypocrites who appear virtuous but are actually morally upright.

Especially that Yin Zhiping, who had given him a hard time before, and whose lewd gaze towards Xiaolongnu was disgusting.

Lin Ye felt no guilt whatsoever when he killed him; he only felt that he was ridding the people of a scourge.

He figured that the old Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect should have already discovered that Yin Zhiping had disappeared.

Perhaps they'll even send a few oddballs down the mountain to hunt him down.

Come on then.

It's a good opportunity to test my newly mastered martial arts skills on them.

His only concern now is how to settle the fairy sister in peace, and where to get an even more powerful martial arts manual next.

For example, Dugu Qiubai's Sword Tomb?

……

Zhongnan Mountain, Chongyang Palace.

Before dawn, a misty fog shrouded the sprawling palaces.

At this time of day, the Taoist boys would normally be doing their morning prayers, their chanting clear and melodious, but today all is silent.

Inside the Sanqing Hall, the flickering candlelight cast long, distorted shadows of several people onto the cold floor tiles, like struggling ghosts.

Changchunzi Qiu Chuji sat upright in the main seat. His usually dignified and otherworldly face was now ashen, and his long beard moved without wind, revealing the extreme turmoil in his heart.

"Master Qiu, fellow Daoists."

Guo Jing clasped his hands and bowed, his voice steady yet filled with barely suppressed rage, "That scoundrel Lin Ye, his methods are so cruel, actually laying such a deadly hand on his fellow disciple! Such a traitor is intolerable to Heaven and Earth! If he is not captured and brought to justice, what will become of the reputation of the Quanzhen Sect? What will become of the dignity of the righteous path of the martial world?"

Guo Jing was an upright and honest man, and what he hated most in his life were such insidious, vicious, and treacherous people.

In his view, no matter what mistakes Yin Zhiping had made, Lin Ye, as his junior brother, was committing a heinous crime by killing him.

These words struck a chord with Qiu Chuji.

This is exactly the effect he wanted!

What he truly cared about was not whether Yin Zhiping lived or died.

To put it bluntly, how could he, as an elder, be completely unaware of Yin Zhiping's cunning schemes?

However, due to his good aptitude and his status as a prominent figure among the third-generation disciples, they have always turned a blind eye.

But now, he's dead at Lin Ye's hands!

An unknown nobody killed a promising young star who was being groomed for future success!

This isn't just a slap in the face to Yin Zhiping; it's a slap in the face to Qiu Chuji, the entire Seven Masters of Quanzhen, and the Quanzhen School of Taoism, repeatedly grinding their faces into the ground!

If this matter gets out, what will people in the martial arts world say?

Is it that the Quanzhen School was poor at judging people, or that they were ineffective in disciplining them?

Does this mean that his Quanzhen Sect was rife with internal strife and infighting among its members?

No matter where it is, it is a great disgrace!

Therefore, all the blame must be placed on Lin Ye.

He should be portrayed as a cold-blooded, ambitious, and ruthless demon who would kill his fellow disciples to steal martial arts manuals.

And Guo Jing, the renowned "Northern Hero," is the best symbol of justice.

With his intervention, the matter transformed from a "family scandal" of the Quanzhen Sect into a "public enemy" condemned by all martial arts practitioners.

"Master Guo is absolutely right!"

Qiu Chuji was filled with grief and indignation, heartbroken and distressed. "Our sect is unfortunate to have produced such a scoundrel! Zhiping... Zhiping may have made mistakes occasionally, but his crimes do not warrant death! That little beast Lin Ye, he usually seems honest and simple, who knew he harbored such evil intentions! He must have coveted our sect's superior martial arts and thus had wicked thoughts!"

His words were half true and half false, yet highly inflammatory.

Guo Jing was indeed filled with righteous indignation. He recalled that when he was in Mongolia, what he hated most were those villains who stabbed him in the back.

At this moment, he hated Lin Ye, whom he had never met before, to the core.

"Rest assured, Taoist priest!"

Guo Jing's voice boomed like thunder, "Guo Jing has deep ties with the Quanzhen Sect and will never stand idly by while such a villain goes unpunished! Please give the order, Daoist Master, Guo Jing is willing to lead the charge, going to heaven and earth to capture Lin Ye and hand him over to you for judgment!"

"good!"

This is exactly what Qiu Chuji was waiting for.

He glanced around and said in a deep voice, "That Lin Ye's cultivation is weak; he must have used some kind of trickery to succeed. He's alone; he certainly can't go far! Senior Brother Ma Yu is in seclusion; the six of us should do our utmost to avenge Zhiping and cleanse the Quanzhen Sect of its filth!"

"What you say is true, senior brother."

Hao Datong, who had been silent until now, finally spoke, his expression more doubtful than the others. "But... Zhongnan Mountain is so vast, where could he have escaped to?"

His gaze drifted almost imperceptibly towards the direction the path led.

Everyone present had an answer that was already on their minds, but no one dared to say it aloud.

That was a forbidden place.

It was still Yu Yangzi, Wang Chuyi, with the most fiery temper. He slammed his hand on the table and growled, "Where else can we go? That path on the back mountain, besides that place, where else can we hide?"

All eyes met instantly, and a name came to mind.

Ancient tomb!

"Could it be... that he actually dared to trespass into the ancient tomb?"

Sun Bu'er's voice was filled with disbelief.

The Ancient Tomb Sect and the Quanzhen Sect are separated by only a wall, yet they are two different worlds.

The patriarchs of the past passed down the word that their disciples were strictly forbidden from approaching the ancient tomb.

It was a place riddled with traps and incredibly cold, and inhabited by a group of women with eccentric personalities.

For many years, the two sides have kept to themselves and have reached a tacit understanding.

Would a traitor who has committed murder choose to flee to a place that even his elders considered a dangerous place?

This is illogical.

In their minds, Lin Ye was just a junior with weak martial arts skills, how dare he?

However, Guo Jing's thinking was simple and direct.

"Who cares if they dare!"

Without hesitation, Guo Jing declared resolutely, "Since there's a possibility, we must investigate! If he's really hiding inside, we'll catch him like a turtle in a jar! Let's storm into the ancient tomb and tear that villain Lin Ye to pieces!"

The atmosphere inside the Sanqing Hall changed abruptly upon hearing his words.

Hesitation and embarrassment flashed across the faces of Qiu Chuji and the others.

Charge into the ancient tomb?

That's easy for you to say!

"Master Guo, this matter... is probably not appropriate."

Hao Datong frowned even more deeply.

He is the most steady and considers things the most thoroughly.

"What's wrong with it?"

Guo Jing was puzzled. "Could there be some kind of dangerous trap or lair inside the ancient tomb? With so many experts here, and Master Qiu overseeing things, what is there to fear?"
