Yang Guo: I'm invincible in the opening battle against Aunt Guo!

Li Mochou's voice echoed across the square.

The Quanzhen disciples' faces turned pale and ashen.

Many people's hands were trembling as they gripped their swords.

It wasn't fear, it was shame and indignation.

They joined the Quanzhen School from a young age, learning the orthodox teachings of Taoism and hearing the motto "chivalry comes first."

But today, our respected teacher has committed such a despicable act as poisoning someone.

Even... even those despicable thoughts.

Nothing could be more devastating than this.

Just now.

From the depths of Chongyang Palace, six long and clear bell tolls suddenly resounded!

Before the bell had even finished ringing, six figures, like white cranes spreading their wings, leaped out from the depths of the palace and arrived at the square in just a few leaps!

The man at the front, dressed in a gray-blue Taoist robe, with a gaunt face and three long strands of beard flowing down his chest, was none other than the leader of the Quanzhen Sect—Danyangzi Ma Yu.

The five people behind him, in order, are:

Changchunzi Qiu Chuji, Qingjing Sanren Sun Bu'er, Changshengzi Liu Chuxuan, Yuyangzi Wang Chuyi, Guangningzi Hao Datong.

The Six Masters of Quanzhen have all arrived!

These six people have been in seclusion for nearly half a month, studying the "Innate Skill," and should not have emerged from seclusion at this time.

But Li Mochou's long roar, imbued with internal energy, was like a thunderclap, abruptly waking them from their deep meditation.

At this moment, the six people's eyes swept across the square and saw the mess on the ground. The disciples looked bewildered.

Two third-generation disciples collapsed to the ground, while the six people opposite them stood solemnly.

In particular, the woman in the apricot-yellow Taoist robe exuded a chilling murderous aura, the woman in white was as aloof as ice, and the young man in green was as imposing as a mountain.

Ma Yu's heart sank, but he remained outwardly calm, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully.

"I am Ma Yu of the Quanzhen Sect, and I, along with my fellow disciples, greet you all. May I ask what brings you to my Chongyang Palace, and why you have injured my disciples?"

Although he sensed that the situation was not right, he still maintained his politeness and asked for the reason first.

Upon hearing this, the woman in the apricot-yellow Taoist robe sneered:

"Ma Yu? The leader of the Quanzhen Sect? Very well, now that you've come out, I'll explain myself to you!"

Her phoenix eyes flashed with murderous intent as she pointed at the two men, Zhao Zhijing and Zhao Zhijing, who were lying limp on the ground:

"You two good disciples actually poisoned my entire sect with 'Power-Dissolving Powder' upstream of the water source at noon today! If it weren't for someone in my Ancient Tomb who is proficient in poisons and discovered it in time, we would have already lost all our power and be at their mercy!"

"An ancient tomb?" Ma Yu's expression tightened as he re-examined the woman before him. "And you are...?"

"Li Mochou".

The moment those three words were uttered, the temperature in the entire venue plummeted!

Red Serpent Fairy!

Even the Six Masters of Quanzhen, who were in seclusion for many years, had heard of this fearsome reputation.

A ruthless outcast from the Ancient Tomb Sect, he is feared throughout the martial arts world!

Qiu Chuji's gaze swept over Li Mochou, then turned to the woman in white behind her: "This humble Taoist is Qiu Chuji, and who is this?"

Little Dragon Girl did not answer, but stood quietly, like an ice sculpture.

Li Mochou answered on her behalf: "This is my junior sister, the current successor of the Ancient Tomb Sect."

She then tossed out the blue-patterned jade bottle. "Does this belong to your Quanzhen Sect?"

The jade bottle rolled to Ma Yu's feet.

Sun Bu'er bent down to pick it up and examined it carefully. His expression gradually changed: "These patterns... are indeed from the blue-patterned jade bottle specially made by my alchemy room."

Ma Yu took the jade bottle, examined it for a moment, and frowned: "Fellow Daoist Li, is it... a bit too hasty to conclude that my Quanzhen disciple poisoned the food based solely on a jade bottle?"

"Arbitrary?" Li Mochou scoffed. "Then let these two pieces of trash on the ground talk for themselves!"

She used two fingers to release some of the acupoints on Zhao Zhijing and Zhen Zhibing.

The two collapsed to the ground, their faces pale, their lips trembling, yet they dared not utter a word.

Seeing this, Ma Yu was already seven or eight parts convinced, and said in a deep voice, "Zhijing, Zhibing, what exactly happened? Tell me the truth!"

Zhao Zhijing opened his mouth, but before he could utter a sound, Li Mochou said coldly:

"They have just confessed, and dozens of disciples present can testify to that! Ma Yu, your Quanzhen Sect claims to be a prestigious and righteous sect, yet you have taught such poisonous and wicked disciples—you, as the sect leader, are truly 'good' at it!"

These words directly criticize Ma Yu for his poor parenting.

Qiu Chuji had the fiercest temper. Although he knew he was in the wrong, he couldn't tolerate such humiliation to his face and immediately shouted:

"Fellow Daoist Li! Even if my disciples have committed a wrong, they should be punished according to the rules of the Quanzhen Sect! You stormed the mountain gate, injured my disciples, and publicly humiliated them; this has gone too far!"

"Too much?" Li Mochou's phoenix eyes flashed coldly. "Qiu Chuji, if it were your entire Quanzhen Sect that was poisoned today, what would you do? Sit down and try to reason with you?!"

She took a step forward, her killing intent surging forth:

"I'm making this clear today—these two must be dealt with by our Ancient Tomb! If your Quanzhen Sect dares to obstruct us, I will teach all six of you a lesson!"

"Arrogant!"

Qiu Chuji was furious. Without saying another word, he drew his sword and thrust!

This sword strike, unleashed in fury, is the essence of the Quanzhen Swordplay, "White Rainbow Across the Sky." The sword light is like a rainbow, aimed straight at Li Mochou's face!

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

Li Mochou let out a long roar, neither dodging nor avoiding, and struck out with a backhand palm!

The Five Poisons Palm strikes, a sudden gust of bloody wind!

"Bang!"

Their palms clashed, and powerful energy surged forth!

Qiu Chuji felt a sinister palm force travel along his sword, causing his arm to go slightly numb. He was secretly shocked: This demoness's skill is so profound!

Seeing that Qiu Chuji had already made his move, Ma Yu knew that things would not end well today, and immediately shouted:

"Form ranks!"

The six people instantly shifted positions, each taking up a different spot, surrounding Li Mochou in the center!

The Big Dipper Formation!

Although there were only six people, one was missing, but Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, and Wang Chuyi were all at the early stage of the Innate Realm.

Hao Datong, Liu Chuxuan, and Sun Bu'er were also in the mid-to-late stages of the Acquired Realm. When the six of them joined forces and activated the formation, their aura subtly overwhelmed Li Mochou!

Li Mochou was in the middle of the formation, and she felt that the sword energy around her was like a net from heaven and earth.

She sneered, changed her tactics, and instead of launching a direct attack, she began to maneuver and evade.

The Ice Soul Silver Needles appear and disappear intermittently, targeting the subtle flaws in the formation's connections.

In an instant, yellow figures flew through the formation, sword light flashed like snow, and the battle was fierce and evenly matched.

Yang Guo watched from outside the formation, his eyes thoughtful.

Little Dragon Girl stood quietly to the side, her cool eyes watching the battle, as if observing a set of exquisite sword techniques.

After more than thirty moves, Li Mochou suddenly let out a long roar, her body spinning rapidly as she unleashed a series of palm strikes!

"Five Poisons Divine Palm - Ten Thousand Poisons Devour the Heart!"

A flurry of palm strikes, accompanied by a foul wind and poisonous mist, simultaneously attacked all six people!

The six men had no choice but to withdraw their swords and defend themselves.

The formation faltered for a moment.

Li Mochou pounced like lightning towards Sun Bu'er, whose formation was weaker!

Sun Bu'er thrust his sword swiftly.

But Li Mochou gripped the sword tightly with her left hand and struck her shoulder with her right palm!

"puff!"

Sun Bu'er coughed up blood and staggered backward, instantly breaking the formation!

"Junior Sister!"

Ma Yu and the others were shocked and enraged, their swords flashing as they desperately rushed to the rescue.

However, once the formation was broken, the combined power of the six was greatly reduced.

Li Mochou was like a tiger among sheep. In just ten moves, Hao Datong and Liu Chuxuan were struck by her palms and staggered.

Only Ma Yu, Qiu Chuji, and Wang Chuyi remained, struggling to keep the job afloat.

The outcome is decided.

Ma Yu's face turned ashen, he sighed deeply, sheathed his sword, and retreated.

"Very well... Fellow Daoist Li's martial arts are superb, I admire you."

These words were incredibly bitter.

The six disciples of Quanzhen Sect, even joining forces today, couldn't defeat Li Mochou!

If my master knew, he would be so angry he'd turn in his grave.

Li Mochou stood with her palms closed, her breathing slightly disordered, but her eyes were filled with arrogance:

"Now, can we hand over the person?"

Ma Yu remained silent.

Qiu Chuji gritted his teeth and said, "Senior brother, we cannot hand it over! Our Quanzhen Sect has been established for a hundred years, and we have never suffered such humiliation!!"

"You won't hand it over?" Li Mochou's phoenix eyes flashed coldly. "Then today, I'll tear down your Chongyang Palace!"

She made a move as if she was about to strike again.

"Hahaha! How lively! How lively!"

A maniacal laugh suddenly came from the mountain gate!
