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

Hao Datong gave a wry smile, glanced at Qiu Chuji, and seeing that his senior brother didn't intend to stop him, slowly explained, "Master Guo, you may not know this. That ancient tomb is no ordinary place. It was built by our sect's founder, Chongyang. Its interior is complex, riddled with mechanisms, and contains many inconceivable traps. Moreover..."

He paused, lowering his voice slightly: "The ancient tomb is filled with an extremely cold and yin energy, which our sect's profound techniques cannot withstand. Our Quanzhen Sect's martial arts emphasize pure yang and uprightness, and in such an environment, our power will be greatly reduced. Moreover, the Ancient Tomb Sect's martial arts style is bizarre and completely opposite to ours, making it extremely effective against us. If we rashly intrude, I'm afraid... we will suffer a great loss."

These words expressed the sentiments of all the high-ranking members of the Quanzhen Sect.

They verbally proclaimed their desire to avenge Yin Zhiping, but in their hearts, they were secretly plotting their revenge.

To venture into a legendary, perilous tomb for the sake of a dead Yin Zhiping, and potentially offend a mysterious and unpredictable tomb raiding sect, is simply not worth it.

If a few masters were to be lost inside, the Quanzhen Sect would suffer a huge loss.

They preferred to believe that Lin Ye had fled down the mountain and blended into the mortal world rather than believe that he had the audacity to break into the ancient tomb.

Upon hearing this, Guo Jing raised an eyebrow, a surge of righteous indignation welling up within him: "Daoist, you are mistaken! Evil spirits and heretics are to be punished by everyone! How can mere traps and sinister mechanisms hinder our path of chivalry? Back on Peach Blossom Island, even with the exquisite skills of Senior Huang Yaoshi's Qimen Dunjia, I still managed to overcome them all. Now, to capture the traitor and uphold justice, I, Guo, am willing to brave even mountains of knives and seas of fire!"

His righteous words immediately made Qiu Chuji and the others feel embarrassed.

Look at that great hero Guo!

What a magnanimous spirit!

What a magnificent spirit!

In contrast, those who have renounced worldly life and cultivate the Tao are hesitant and timid, simply...

Shame!

Qiu Chuji's old face flushed slightly.

He knew that Guo Jing had already created this momentum.

If he backs down again, not only will Guo Jing look down on him, but he will also become a laughing stock in the martial arts world.

The Quanzhen Sect doesn't even dare to enter an ancient tomb in its own backyard, so how can it claim to be the number one sect in the world?

"cough!"

Qiu Chuji cleared his throat, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, radiating the aura of a top-tier master. "Master Guo is right! It is our resolve that is not firm enough, that we have become attached to appearances! This mere ancient tomb is nothing to speak of! If Patriarch Chongyang could build it back then, then we, his disciples and grand-disciples, can also enter!"

He abruptly stood up, waved his sleeve, and decisively ordered: "Pass down the order! All second-generation disciples and elite third-generation disciples, assemble in front of the Sanqing Hall! Bring your weapons and torches, and prepare... to search the ancient tomb!"

He spoke the last four words with extra force, as if he were encouraging himself.

"I will obey the sect leader's decree!"

Disciples outside the hall responded loudly, finally breaking the oppressive atmosphere, which was replaced by a chilling sense of impending storm.

Seeing this, Hao Datong and the others had no choice but to stand up.

The matter has come to this point; the arrow is on the bowstring, and there is no choice but to release it.

But a lingering shadow always hangs in their hearts.

They always felt that things...

It's not that simple.

Would a mediocre disciple really have the guts and ability to kill Yin Zhiping and then dare to escape into that ancient tomb that even they fear?

Could there be some hidden story behind this that they are unaware of?

Meanwhile, deep within the ancient tomb, beside the Cold Jade Pool.

In stark contrast to the tense atmosphere outside, this place is as tranquil as a secluded paradise.

The pool water emitted a misty white fog, enveloping the entire stone chamber in a dreamlike atmosphere.

Lin Ye sat cross-legged on the cold jade bed, his eyes closed.

He had just thoroughly processed the immense internal energy he had gained from cultivating with Xiaolongnu and integrated it into his own meridians.

The general outline of the Nine Yin Manual is like a sophisticated converter, perfectly integrating the extreme Yin internal energy that originally belonged to Xiaolongnu with the meager Yang energy of the Quanzhen Sect that he cultivated himself, as well as the newly generated Nine Yin internal energy, transforming it into a purer and more powerful true energy that surges and flows within his body.

This feeling is amazing!

strength!

An unprecedented sense of power!

He could clearly feel that his five senses had become incredibly sharp.

Dozens of feet away, the sound of water droplets dripping from the stone wall was so clear it was right next to my ear.

He could even "see" the trajectory of the breeze flowing through the air.

This is only an improvement in internal strength.

If you combine it with the "Heart-Shattering Palm" and "White Python Whip Technique" from the Nine Yin Manual, as well as the exquisite sword techniques from the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra...

Right now, he might be slightly inferior to any of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

But if it comes to someone like Yin Zhiping, even three or five of them would be nothing but chickens and dogs!

And all of this happened in just one night.

Lin Ye slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of white air. The white air condensed in the air and did not dissipate, like a small white dragon, which swirled for a moment before slowly dissipating.

He looked to his side, where Little Dragon Girl had just finished her practice.

Her complexion was even more radiant and translucent than before, and the veins under her skin were almost invisible. She looked like a work of art carved from millennia-old cold jade, so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly.

However, her eyes held a complex expression.

Curiosity, a desire to explore, and something she herself was unaware of...

rely.

"The matriarch has also killed people."

Her words were still echoing in Lin Ye's ears.

Lin Ye smiled.

He knew he had made the right bet.

Xiaolongnu's moral values ​​are completely different from those of ordinary people outside.

In her world, there were not so many formalities, nor so many hypocritical morals.

There is only the most basic logic: good people, bad people.

Friend, enemy.

A venomous snake that wanders into the garden deserves to die.

Simple, direct, and effective.

This made him feel more relaxed than ever before.

He doesn't need to pretend, he doesn't need to explain.

He looked at her and suddenly asked, "Miss Long, what if... I mean, what if that poisonous snake has many companions? What if they quickly find it by scent and try to destroy the entire garden?"

Xiaolongnu tilted her head, her clear eyes showing no fear, only indifferent indifference.

"Then... kill them all."

Her voice was clear and cold, like jade striking each other, yet it made Lin Ye's heart burn with passion.

it is good.

Lin Ye laughed, a truly hearty laugh.

He liked the feeling of being in control of his own destiny, and even the feeling of being able to influence the destiny of others.

He looked at Xiaolongnu's face, which remained aloof but had clearly become more human, and a soft spot in his heart was gently touched.

He didn't continue the somber topic, but instead changed the subject, speaking in a relaxed tone as if commenting on the nice weather: "Staying here is safe, but it's not a long-term solution. Those flies, if we don't swat them away, they'll keep buzzing, it's really annoying."

Little Dragon Girl looked at him quietly without saying a word, but the message conveyed in her eyes was clear: I will listen to you.

Lin Ye stood up and stretched his limbs.

After a night of transformation, he felt his body was filled with explosive power, every muscle and every bone yearning for a cathartic release.

"I happen to know a palm technique that is extremely yang and powerful. It is not suitable for cultivation in the tomb, so as not to damage the things left by the Ancestral Master."

He said, half-jokingly, "Come with me. I remember there's a valley behind this ancient tomb."

This was certainly not something he "remembered".

This is the adventure map belonging to Yang Guo from his past life memories.

But for Xiaolongnu, this girl who had lived in the Ancient Tomb since childhood and had never even left Zhongnan Mountain, every word Lin Ye said carried a magic she couldn't understand, yet inexplicably believed in.

She nodded, gave a soft "hmm," and then silently followed behind Lin Ye, carrying the long, black, and antique-style sword.

The two walked through the dark passageway and bypassed several areas with traps that even Xiaolongnu had never set foot in.

With the map in his mind as a guide, Lin Ye skillfully explored an inconspicuous stone wall for a while. With a "click-clack" sound of a mechanism, a heavy stone door slowly rose up.

Outside the door lies another world.

The brilliant sunlight poured down without reservation, dispelling the chill that had accumulated in the ancient tomb for thousands of years.

The fresh air, mixed with the fragrance of soil and grass, wafted towards her, causing the little dragon girl, who had always lived underground, to unconsciously squint her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

What lay before them was a vast basin.

All around are steep cliffs, covered with vines and jagged rocks. Occasionally, a bird flies by, letting out a clear cry.

The valley floor is covered in lush green grass, a clear stream meanders through it, and a verdant forest lies not far away.

This is a secluded paradise, and also a perfect natural training ground for martial arts.

"This is it."

Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction and walked straight to a clearing in the middle of the valley.

Instead of immediately starting to practice that domineering palm technique, he first stood still and assumed an extremely strange posture.

His feet were shoulder-width apart, and he slowly raised his hands, bringing them together in front of his chest. Then he stretched his spine upwards segment by segment, aiming to lengthen his entire spine.

His body twisted and contorted into an unbelievable arc, his bones crackling and popping like popping beans.

Little Dragon Girl stood at a distance, her beautiful eyes filled with incomprehension.

What kind of kung fu is this?

It is neither graceful nor swift.

The movements were slow, clumsy, and even somewhat...

ugly.

She had never seen such a strange style of martial arts.

The martial arts of the Ancient Tomb Sect emphasize "clarity, gentleness, agility, and skill," with movements as graceful as immortals and exquisite techniques.

She had also learned about the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect through the manuscripts left by Wang Chongyang. It emphasized "moderation, righteousness, peace, and harmony," and had a dignified demeanor.

But Lin Ye's actions at this moment completely overturned her understanding.

That's even more...

Self-torture.

She saw fine beads of sweat on Lin Ye's forehead, and his face was flushed from the extreme stretching.

He clenched his teeth, every muscle in his body trembling slightly, enduring immense pain.

This man is doing something strange again.

He clearly possessed such powerful internal energy, stronger than anyone I had ever seen.

Why torture yourself like this?

His bones...

They're all ringing.

That sounds painful.

However, there was no pain in his eyes.

That is……

enjoy?

No, that's not right.

That's focus, the determination to completely break yourself down and then rebuild yourself.

What exactly does he want to do?

The aura emanating from his body shifted with these strange movements.

The internal energy, which was originally surging like a great river, was now guided and channeled by countless invisible dikes, becoming more condensed and more...

tough.

It is a piece of pig iron that is being hammered and forged into an unparalleled divine weapon.

So this is how martial arts can be practiced.

It's not about pursuing exquisite techniques, but about fundamentally transforming one's own body.

he……

How many secrets are still hidden?

At this moment, Lin Ye felt great!

Cool!

That was fucking awesome!

The Yi Jin Jing!

This is true divine skill!
