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

Tan Chuduan and Wang Chuyi also stood up abruptly, their faces filled with shock and anger.

Their patriarch, Wang Chongyang, was a god in their hearts, a grandmaster of martial arts, and the faith of the Quanzhen School.

How dare someone insult our ancestor like this?

This is even harder for them to accept than being injured themselves!

"Zhao Zhijing, are you sure that traitor really said such treasonous things?"

Ma Yu's voice remained calm, but the authority and anger it contained were now difficult to suppress.

He scrutinized Zhao Zhijing, trying to find some clues in his face.

Zhao Zhijing's heart skipped a beat, but he had already prepared his explanation.

He knew that the best way to anger his teachers was to attack the very foundation of the Quanzhen Sect—its founder and its reputation.

"Your disciple would not utter a single falsehood!"

He kowtowed violently, his forehead thudding against the bluestone floor. "Every word is true! He... he even said that the doctrines of the Quanzhen School are utter nonsense, and its rules and regulations are utterly laughable!"

He added fuel to the fire.

He knew that what the Quanzhen School valued most, besides the dignity of its founder, were its doctrines and rules.

The insult the boy hurled at him was utterly insignificant compared to the insults hurled at the Quanzhen Sect.

As expected, Ma Yu's face darkened completely upon hearing this.

His once calm eyes were now burning with fury.

"Outrageous! Utterly arrogant!"

Hao Datong was so angry that his beard trembled. He pointed outside the hall, where Lin Ye was right in front of him.

Sun Bu'er also spoke coldly, her voice filled with killing intent: "If such an evil villain is not eliminated, how can my Quanzhen Sect maintain its standing in the martial arts world?"

Qiu Chuji was furious. He stood up abruptly and paced back and forth in the hall, his steps heavy, each one weighing heavily on everyone's hearts.

"Senior brother! Things have come to this point, there's no need to hesitate any longer! This kind of madman has no respect for our ancestors and despises our doctrines; his heart deserves to be punished!"

He turned to Ma Yu, his voice filled with anxiety and urgency, "How can we allow a mere child to trample on the century-old foundation of our Quanzhen Sect?!"

Ma Yu slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

He thought of the teachings of Grandmaster Wang Chongyang, the strict rules and regulations of the Quanzhen Sect, and the fact that this young man, Lin Ye, had committed the crime near Chongyang Palace.

If we don't give the martial arts world an explanation, where will the Quanzhen Sect put its face?

He opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, sweeping over everyone in the hall before finally settling on Zhao Zhijing.

"Zhao Zhijing, are you willing to stake your life on what you've said?"

Zhao Zhijing's heart skipped a beat; of course, he dared not really risk his life to guarantee it.

But he knew that he could not back down now.

He gritted his teeth and kowtowed again: "Your disciple swears! Every word is true, without a trace of falsehood!"

He believed that his superiors would never actually let him die, but only wanted him to make a promise.

Moreover, although he exaggerated, Lin Ye did speak rudely and did indeed injure him.

He just distorted the process countless times.

They didn't mention a word about the humiliation Lin Ye suffered.

Lin Ye resisted, and was described by him as having immoral behavior and violating the teacher's ethics.

Ma Yu looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

He knew that Zhao Zhijing was somewhat opportunistic, but at this moment, he was indeed a victim, and what he said concerned the foundation of the Quanzhen Sect.

"it is good."

Ma Yu's voice echoed in the hall, carrying an undeniable resolve: "Since that's the case, our Quanzhen Sect cannot sit idly by."

He spoke each word clearly and calmly, yet with a resounding authority, carrying the weight of judgment.

"That Lin Ye, disrespectful to his elders, arrogant and rude, openly offended our Quanzhen patriarch and insulted our doctrines. His actions are heretical and contrary to the patriarch's teachings!"

"Our Quanzhen Sect hereby declares this clearly today!"

Ma Yu's voice suddenly rose, infused with inner strength, each word clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Lin Ye is a wicked and treacherous man! He deserves to die! All martial artists under heaven have the right to kill him!"

At this moment, all the Quanzhen disciples in the main hall, whether it was Zhao Zhijing kneeling on the ground or the elders and deacons standing in various places, felt a chilling killing intent spreading out.

A smug smile appeared on Zhao Zhijing's face.

He achieved his goal!

He wanted to ruin Lin Ye's reputation and make him hunted down by the entire martial arts world!

He wanted to make Lin Ye pay a terrible price!

Qiu Chuji clenched his fists, his eyes filled with the flames of hatred.

He looked outside the hall and saw Lin Ye's fate.

The Seven Masters of Quanzhen, their words could decide the fate of the world.

In their words, Lin Ye's fate was sealed.

Just days after the Quanzhen School declared Lin Ye a "wicked and wicked" figure.

At the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, a burly man dressed in coarse cloth was leading a fine horse, striding briskly towards the summit.

He had a square face, thick eyebrows, and large eyes, with a dignified and imposing aura in his gaze.

It was none other than the renowned "Northern Hero" Guo Jing.

He came here on Huang Rong's behalf to borrow several Taoist scriptures from the Quanzhen Sect.

Huang Rong has recently been studying Qimen Dunjia, and she wants to find inspiration from the books in the Quanzhen Sect's collection, as some of its mysteries are quite profound.

Guo Jing was an upright and honest man who had a long-standing friendship with the Quanzhen Sect.

Moreover, he had studied scriptures and doctrines with Qiu Chuji for a few days in his early years, so he could be considered a lay disciple of the Quanzhen School.

Back then, Grandmaster Wang Chongyang had frequent interactions with his masters.

Therefore, he did not feel that there would be any obstacles to this trip.

However, as soon as he stepped into the gates of the Quanzhen Sect, he sensed that something was amiss.

In the past, the Quanzhen Sect was always filled with the sounds of bells and chimes, and the disciples practiced their skills diligently, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Today, however, there is a faint sense of solemnity and oppression.

The disciples all had solemn expressions, walked hurriedly, and spoke in hushed tones, their faces filled with anger.

Guo Jing felt a chill run down his spine; he knew something terrible must have happened.

He randomly stopped a disciple who was on patrol.

"Young man, I am Guo Jing. May I ask what has happened at the Quanzhen Sect recently? Why is the atmosphere so tense within the sect..."

He carefully considered his words, not wanting to directly say "at odds."

The disciple recognized Guo Jing and quickly bowed respectfully, saying, "Great Hero Guo, you've arrived."

He paused, a surge of resentment rising on his face. "To my shame, I have recently taught a rebellious scoundrel who openly defies the authority of my Quanzhen Sect!"

Guo Jing frowned, a sense of displeasure rising in his heart.

The Quanzhen Sect is the orthodox school of martial arts; who would dare to be so audacious?

"Oh? Who is this person? How dare he be so rude?"

Guo Jing's tone became serious, and a sense of righteousness arose spontaneously.

The disciple then embellished the story of Zhao Zhijing being injured and the Quanzhen Sect's declaration that Lin Ye was a "wicked villain."

Naturally, in his words, Lin Ye was portrayed as an utterly wicked and extremely arrogant villain.

The more Guo Jing listened, the more gloomy his face became.

When he heard that Lin Ye dared to insult the patriarch Wang Chongyang and slander the Quanzhen School of Taoism, veins bulged on his square face.

"This is outrageous!"

Guo Jing stomped his foot, causing the solid bluestone slab to tremble.

He had spent many years traveling the world, hated evil as if it were his enemy, and despised those who disrespected their elders and were arrogant and conceited.

Moreover, the Quanzhen School was a righteous sect he respected, and Wang Chongyang, the founder, was a great hero in his eyes.

"This madman dares to be so insolent! He's utterly lawless!"

Guo Jing's voice was filled with barely suppressed anger.

Seeing Guo Jing so indignant, the disciple was secretly delighted, thinking that Lin Ye was in big trouble now!

Master Guo is a peerless hero of our time, with unparalleled martial arts skills. If he makes a move, how could Lin Ye possibly survive?

"Master Guo, the Sect Leader is currently at Chongyang Palace, summoning all disciples to discuss how to encircle and defeat this person. If you have some free time, could you...?"

The disciple cautiously probed.

"No need for further explanation!"

Guo Jing waved his hand, his anger reaching its peak.

He didn't have time to worry about the Taoist scriptures anymore; how could he let such a villain get away with it?

He strode quickly towards Chongyang Palace.

Inside Chongyang Palace, Ma Yu was discussing with Qiu Chuji and others how to issue a martial arts manhunt order and who to send.

The atmosphere inside the hall remained solemn and oppressive.

Suddenly, a powerful voice rang out outside the hall like a thunderclap, startling everyone inside.

"Esteemed Taoist masters of the Quanzhen Sect, Guo Jing requests an audience!"

Ma Yu and the others were all startled. Guo Jing had arrived?

"Quickly, invite Master Guo in!"

Ma Yu quickly replied.

Guo Jing strode into the hall and immediately saw Ma Yu and the others sitting in the main seat.

He didn't exchange any pleasantries, and even his usual kind face disappeared, replaced by a livid and angry expression.

"Master Ma, fellow Taoist masters!"

Guo Jing clasped his hands in a salute, but his tone revealed an undeniable anger: "I heard down the mountain that a madman named Lin Ye dared to offend your sect's founder and insult your doctrines! Is this true?!"
