The Condor Heroes: The Quanzhen Sect has produced a vengeful master!

Wang Jiuling suddenly stepped forward, surprising the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.

However, Wang Jiuling was always calm and measured in his actions, while Ma Yu had a gentle expression.

"Jiuling, if you have any ideas, just say them!"

Wang Jiuling nodded and turned to look at Zhen Zhibing, who was also looking at him nervously.

"This disciple feels that some things don't make sense!"

"The Mongols broke into the library at night, their only intentions being to steal martial arts manuals, or perhaps, to steal the Heavenly Dipper Formation of my Quanzhen School."

"But if Senior Brother Zhibing has already colluded with them, then why would they bother going to the Library Cave if they came to Quanzhen?"

"Brother Zhibing is the most outstanding member of the third generation of Quanzhen. The Sutra Repository is not a forbidden place for him!"

If he really wanted to do that, he could simply teach the martial arts to the Mongols directly; why go through all this trouble?

"Even the Heavenly Dipper Formation, if Senior Brother Zhibing wanted to reveal it, the Mongols wouldn't even need to break into the Sutra Repository!"

"Besides... what reason would my senior brother have to betray my Quanzhen Sect?"

After Wang Jiuling spoke, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen looked at each other in surprise, and even Qiu Chuji, who had the most fiery temper, was stunned.

"This...this..."

Wang Jiuling continued speaking.

"This disciple dares to say, there are many suspicious points in this matter, and we need to investigate further!"

This analysis was well-reasoned and logical, which amplified the discussions within Chongyang Palace.

"quiet!"

Ma Yu spoke to quiet everyone down. He paced back and forth, then looked at Wang Jiuling.

"Jiuling, you're right! There are indeed quite a few suspicious points!"

Seeing the situation was changing, Zhao Zhijing was so angry that his mouth twisted into a crook. He stood up and pointed at Wang Jiuling.

"Wang Jiuling! That's just speculation! But the sword tassel and the letter are irrefutable evidence!"

Wang Jiuling turned around and retorted sharply:

"Senior brother! Why are you in such a hurry? Do you really want to see Senior Brother Zhibing punished?"

Zhao Zhijing was speechless for a moment after hearing this.

Zhen Zhibing looked at Wang Jiuling with gratitude, almost calling him "good junior brother" in public.

But then, something unexpected happened.

"Zhibing, were you resting in your room last night at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM)?"

Ma Yu asked Zhen Zhibing a question casually, which immediately stumped Zhen Zhibing.

"Disciple...disciple..."

"Hmm?" Zhen Zhibing's behavior immediately changed the previously calm atmosphere, and Ma Yu frowned.

"Zhibing! Weren't you in the house last night?"

Qiu Chuji narrowed his eyes and summoned the disciples on night duty. Upon inquiry, he discovered that a disciple had seen Zhen Zhibing appear near the back mountain around 3:00 AM.

Now, Qiu Chuji's eyes turned dangerous again.

"Zhibing! Tell me, what were you doing out in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?!"

Zhen Zhibing's face turned slightly red from holding back his anger.

"Disciple...Disciple had insomnia last night, so I went out for some fresh air...Disciple..."

"You bastard!"

This time, even the good-natured Ma Yu couldn't hold back anymore.

"Going out for some fresh air? What a coincidence! They just happened to run into Mongolians raiding the mountains?!"

The way others looked at Zhen Zhibing also changed.

Wang Jiuling was surprised to see this.

How could that be? Could he be overthinking things, and the truth is that Zhen Zhibing is a traitor?

The key point is that Zhen Zhibing's hesitant manner only deepened the suspicion.

To make matters worse, Zhao Zhijing then suggested searching Zhen Zhibing's residence.

"If my junior brother is innocent, then his residence must also be innocent, which can serve as evidence to restore justice for him!"

Zhao Zhijing's face was full of concern for Zhen Zhibing and for the good of Quanzhen.

But it was clearly done with ill intentions.

To make matters worse, Ma Yu then sent people to Zhen Zhibing's residence, where they actually found something different.

It was a dagger.

However, this dagger is exceptionally exquisite, and its design is typical of what Mongolians often use.

"This...this isn't my stuff! I don't know why it's in my room!"

Chongyang Palace was in complete chaos. No matter how hard Zhen Zhibing tried to explain, he was still taken away by the furious Ma Yu.

"Take him away and lock him up! No one is to release him without my order!"

In just two days, various pieces of evidence and coincidences have firmly pinned the accusation of colluding with the Mongols on Zhen Zhibing's head.

There was still room for negotiation, but last night Zhen Zhibing sneaked out instead of sleeping, and when asked, he stammered, which completely made the Seven Masters of Quanzhen lose their patience.

Qiu Chuji was so angry that he almost killed Zhen Zhibing on the spot, but fortunately Ma Yu stopped him and only locked Zhen Zhibing up to await investigation.

The Quanzhen Sect was in complete chaos, and everyone was talking about it.

Although Wang Jiuling knew there was something wrong with it, he really didn't know how to investigate.

At this moment, Yang Guo returned.

"Master! It's what you asked me to find!"

As soon as he entered, Yang Guo took out a few sheets of paper from his pocket and handed them to Wang Jiuling.

"Master! How did you know there would be this in Uncle Zhen's room?"

Wang Jiuling didn't answer Yang Guo's question. Instead, he held the papers and breathed a sigh of relief.

On this paper was a portrait of Little Dragon Girl.

Yang Guo leaned closer, his face full of shock. "Master! Uncle Zhen always seems so honest, I never imagined he'd secretly drawn this!"

Wang Jiuling put the paper away and turned to look at Yang Guo.

"You must not tell anyone about this without my permission!"

Yang Guo nodded.

"Don't worry, Master! I, Yang Guo, am not one to talk too much! But Master, what exactly do you want to do?"

Wang Jiuling shook his head. "It's nothing, it's just that I feel there's something rather strange about what happened today!"

At this moment, Yang Guo slapped his forehead, his expression turning serious.

"Oh, right, Master! Just now, when I found this portrait in Uncle Zhen's room and was leaving, I saw Lu Qingdu!"

"That guy was acting suspiciously, so I secretly observed him and discovered that he actually sneaked into Uncle Zhen's room through the window!"

Wang Jiuling's pupils contracted.

"Lu Qingdu? Did you see clearly?"

Yang Guo nodded in assurance.

"Master! My eyesight is excellent, I can't be wrong! That guy was acting suspiciously, he's definitely up to no good!"

Wang Jiuling stood up and paced back and forth, going over everything in his mind.

He suddenly realized that perhaps from the very beginning, this was a trap set for Zhen Zhibing.

First, the wandering scholar dropped his sword tassel, then the Mongols stormed the mountain and found the dagger.

This was clearly a pre-arranged drama; it went too smoothly.

Wang Jiuling felt that perhaps when he found the sword tassel, it meant that he himself had been tricked and used as a pawn.

"Lu Qingdu... Zhao Zhijing..."

Wang Jiuling immediately placed his suspicions on Zhao Zhijing.

With that in mind, Wang Jiuling left to find Ma Yu, as he had a question he needed to clarify.
