Chapter 33: Demanding Justice

  On duty at the mountain gate were two fourth-generation disciples, whose martial arts skills were only average within the Quanzhen Sect.

  The people shouting outside were surprisingly Yang Guo, who had betrayed the sect years ago. The two of them were shocked and immediately went out to check, only to find a handsome young man holding one person in each hand, seemingly the sect's Elders Yin and Zhao, which made them even more terrified.

  One of them hastily returned to sound the alarm, while the other stood guard at the mountain gate and shouted: "Yang Wuming, what do you think you're doing? Quickly release Master Yunnan and Master Zhao!"

  Wu Ming coldly smiled and said, "These two people don't follow the rules, they trespassed into the ancient tomb's forbidden area, I caught them in the act. After I see Master Ma Zhang to discuss this matter, I will naturally let them go."

  "Nonsense! Yin Shibo and Zhao Shibo are usually so law-abiding, how could they possibly trespass on forbidden ground?"

  "It's easy to paint a tiger's skin but hard to paint its bones. You can know a person's face, but not their heart. And you're not one of them, how dare you make such a statement? Fine, I'm here to ask Ma Zhang for an explanation, not to waste words with you. If you don't report back, then I'll go find him myself."

  "How dare you! This is a sacred place of our sect, not somewhere for you to act wildly. Release the two senior sisters at once, or else..."

  "What if not?" Wu Ming asked with a smile, but just then the alarm bell sounded from inside, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, it seemed that these Quanzhen Taoists still attached great importance to him.

  Wu Ming's purpose was to use the Quanzhen Sect as a trial opponent, and now this alarm suited his intentions. He didn't continue to bother with the other party and walked directly towards the gate.

  "Don't come over." The gatekeeper was shocked and pale, just drawing out the long sword from his waist, opening up a stance, when Lu Qingyun led a group of Quanzhen Taoists rushing over from behind.

  "Yang Guo, it's really you..." As the saying goes, "enemies meet and eyes turn red", Lu Qingdu recognized this intruder as Yang Guo, who had injured him in the past. Only then did he notice that Yang Guo was holding a Daoist priest who was unconscious - his own master and Yin Shishu. He was shocked and immediately shouted, "Yang Guo, what have you done to my master and Yin Shishu?"

  Wu Ming knew that Lu Qingdun was a narrow-minded person, so he deliberately smiled and said: "Little deer, don't worry, they were just knocked out by me with the sleeping point, it's no big deal. After I see Ma Zhang Jiao to reason things out, they will naturally be released."

  "How dare you, Full True Essence will not tolerate your wildness, look at my sword!" Wu Ming actually called him Xiao Lu with a playful tone, which was obviously a deliberate belittling. Lu Qingdun's lungs were about to explode from anger, without even considering whether he was Wu Ming's match or not, he directly drew out his long sword and unleashed the Full True Sword Technique, stabbing towards Wu Ming's chest.

  Wu Ming had one person in each hand and was unable to draw his sword, nor could he move freely.

  However, his martial arts skills had already reached an extremely high level, and how could this small Lu Qingdun compare to that?

  Wu Ming easily used the ancient tomb school's Heavenly Net Earthly Trap body technique, dodging the opponent's sword and using Yin Zhiping's body to pull him, Lu Qingdun suddenly lost his momentum and fell to the ground with a thud.

  Wu Ming smiled and said: "Little deer, are you okay? Didn't get hurt, did you?"

  "Yang Guo, I'll kill you..." Lu Qingfeng was enraged, a carp leaped up and struck again at Wu Ming.

  Wu Ming's pure heart wanted to tease Lu Qingdun, so he didn't use his full strength, only opening up the Heavenly Net Earthly Trap body technique, and played with him a bit.

  "Deer, you drew your sword too slowly."

  "Fawn, you've missed your mark."

  "Fawn, I am behind you."

  Wu Ming carried two people, still as swift as lightning. Lu Qingdun's martial arts were not weak, but he couldn't even touch Wu Ming's clothes, and instead was spun around in circles. The Quanzhen Sect disciples watched with wide eyes and open mouths, their hearts filled with even more terror towards Wu Ming.

  "Little deer, I have something else to do, I won't play with you anymore." Wu Ming chuckled and used Yin Zhiping's body to knock Lu Qingdun unconscious.

  "The enemy is powerful, quickly form an array." Someone in the crowd shouted a sentence, and the Taoist priests hurriedly occupied their positions to set up an array, preparing to block Wu Ming's path.

  The Tian Gang Bei Dou of Quanzhen Sect is the number one strange array in the world, Wu Ming naturally knows how formidable this formation is.

  But even the best formation must have good personnel to display it, otherwise it's just a decoration.

  These people were all fourth-generation or lower disciples, and except for a few who still had some strength, the rest of them just knew some superficial martial arts, how could they stop Wu Ming, a top-notch master?

  Many Taoists only felt that the figure in front of them was fleeting, and before they could even move their hands, Wu Ming had already leaped over everyone like a flower, entering the gate.

  "What if a superior person breaks into our Quanzhen Sect? Quickly report your name."

  Wu Ming had just arrived at the martial arts arena when a loud voice came from ahead, sounding like Hao Datong.

  As expected, soon after, Hao Datong and many Taoist priests from the martial arts arena arrived quickly and surrounded Wu Ming.

  Wu Ming wanted exactly this effect; otherwise, relying on his qinggong, how could these Taoists have surrounded him?

  "Yang Guo, so it was you who intruded into our sect," Hao Datong said in a stern voice.

  "It's right below." Wu Ming laughed and said: "Hao Daozhang, it's been many years since we last met, I hope you've been well."

  Hao Datong frowned and said, "Cut the nonsense, are the people in your hands Zhao Zhi Jing and Yin Zhi Ping?"

  Wu Ming nodded and smiled: "Hao Daozhang, good eyesight, it's indeed these two people."

  Hao Datong furrowed his brow and shouted: "Why are you arresting these two? Release them at once!"

  Wu Ming smiled slightly and said, "These two do not follow the rules of the door, and they broke into my ancient tomb's forbidden land. Therefore, I will take them down and come to find Ma Zhang Jiao to discuss the law."

  Hao Datong's eyebrows shot up in anger, and he shouted: "Nonsense! These two masters have always been law-abiding and disciplined, how could they commit such a serious mistake?"

  Wu Ming smiled faintly and said, "So you're saying I'm lying?"

  Hao Datong sneered: "You didn't lie, don't you know yourself?"

  Wu Ming couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha, I knew you Quanzhen Sect would be narrow-minded and wouldn't believe me. Well, today let me see the Quanzhen Sect's methods! Come on, come on, Mr. Hao, let's have a fight first!"

  Wu Ming finished speaking and immediately put Yin and Zhao aside, drew out the long sword from his waist, and with one move of "Wave Traces in the Sky", swiftly stabbed towards Hao Datong.

  A master's skill is evident from the very start.

  Hao Da Tong was greatly shocked and hastily flew back while withdrawing, and drew out the long sword at his waist to fight with Wu Ming.

  Hao Datong used his Quanzhen Swordsmanship, while Wu Ming used his Jade Maiden Swordsmanship.

  The Jade Maiden Sword Technique was light and ethereal, originally suitable for women to use. However, Wu Ming's martial arts skills had long since reached an extremely high level, and when he used the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, it took on a completely different flavor of elegance and effortlessness, making it a pleasure to behold.

  Hao Datong, who was in the midst of battle, couldn't help but laugh bitterly. Wu Ming's swordsmanship seemed light and effortless, yet it suppressed Hao's Quanzhen Swordsmanship at every turn, leaving him almost no room to counterattack, and he could only barely hold on.

  If Hao Datong knew that Wu Ming was just playing with him casually and hadn't used his true strength, he would definitely be even more ashamed.

  Wu Ming and Hao Datong fought together, and the Taoist priests on the side saw an opportunity to grab Yin and Zhao down to one side, but found that no matter what they did, they couldn't open the sealed acupoints of these two people.

  Wu Ming used a special technique from the Nine Yin Scripture to seal the cave, and even if it were Qi Chuji, the most powerful of the Seven True Men, he wouldn't be able to open it. Otherwise, how could Wu Ming have let the two go so easily?

  Wu Ming and Hao Datong exchanged blows back and forth, and in just a moment they had fought over a dozen moves.

  Wu Ming found that if he really went all out and used the Jade Maiden Sword Technique, it would only take three moves to take down Hao Datong. If he used the Ling Kong She Wu Palm, it would only take one move.

  This also made Wu Ming have a specific understanding of his own martial arts, and he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart. The four years of hard work had already allowed him to enter the ranks of the strong.

  "Hao Daochang, you've made a mistake." Wu Ming didn't want to continue, as Hao Datong's martial arts were only good for sparring and not very useful for improvement. He sped up his movements and suddenly used the "Hao Wrist Jade Bracelet" move from the Jade Maiden Sword Technique.

  Hao Datong wanted to dodge, but it was already too late. He was stabbed in the wrist by Wu Ming, and his long sword slipped from his grasp, falling to the ground.

  Wu Ming's long sword pierced the opponent's acupoint and didn't stop, quickly crossing over to Hao Datong's neck.

  "Yang Guo, I've lost. You can kill me now." Hao Datong was so ashamed he wanted to die. This Wu Mingruo was actually his disciple's descendant, and yet he had been defeated by him with such ease, feeling utterly hopeless.

  Many Taoists were also stunned and couldn't believe their eyes at this scene.

  Losing means life and death, is face more important than life? Wu Ming was speechless, laughing and teasing: "Kill you? I'm not interested, if you really don't want to live, then just take your own neck, here's the sword."

  Wu Ming spoke while using his foot to pick up Hao Datong's long sword that had just fallen, and after catching it, he handed it back to the opponent and retreated.

  "Good." Hao Datong's expression turned ghastly pale as he took the long sword and actually swung it at his own neck.

  Just then, a clanging sound was heard, and a copper coin flew in from outside the wall, knocking the long sword out of Hao Daitong's hand.

  "What a strong inner power." Wu Ming secretly praised, in fact, even if no one had knocked down Hao Datong's long sword, he would not have let this speechless Taoist succeed in killing himself, his hand was much more mysterious than this hidden weapon.

  Hao Datong's heart skipped a beat, and with this copper coin swordsmanship, he already knew that his senior brother Qiu Chuji had arrived. He then raised his head and called out: "Brother Qiu, I'm useless, and I've lost face for the Quanzhen Sect. You take care of it."

  "Win or lose is a common thing, if you're defeated, just swallow your pride. I've died eight times already." Along with a loud laugh, Qiu Chuji leapt in from outside the wall, holding his long sword.

  As for Qiu Chuji, Wu Ming had always been quite impressed with him. Now that he saw him in action, he was even more skilled than expected, and his heart couldn't help but nod in silent approval.

  "Brother Qiu..." Hao Datong felt both embarrassed and delighted when he saw Qiu Chuji.

  "Ah..." Chu Chuji let out a soft sigh, then bowed his hands to Wu Ming and said: "I am Chu Chuji, temporarily in charge of the Ma Jiang Sect while the Master is away. Yang Guo, please feel free to offer any advice you may have."

  "Qiu Daochang, the situation is like this..." Wu Ming was not an unreasonable person either. Seeing Qiu Chuzhi treating him with courtesy, he changed his mind and decided to settle the matters of Yin Zhiping and Zhao Zijian first before seeking advice from the other party.

  Wu Ming's eloquence has always been good, and this matter itself is not complicated, so a few words can clearly explain the cause and effect of the whole thing.

  Chu Zhiyi frowned and said: "Yang Guo, are you telling the truth?"

  Wu Ming smiled faintly and said: "Absolutely no fake, I'll just open the acupoints of these two people, you listen to what they have to say yourselves."

  Wu Ming finished speaking and quickly opened the acupuncture points that had put the two men to sleep. Zhao Zhijing slowly came to, saw Yin Zhiping beside him, and immediately began cursing loudly. When Yin Zhiping woke up, he hung his head in shame, not daring to face the gaze of the crowd.

  Qiu Chuxi was extremely angry and hastily said: "Zhirong, calm down for me, quickly tell me what's going on?"

  Under Qiu Chuji's questioning, Zhao Zhijing didn't dare speak recklessly and had no choice but to confess everything.

  Qiu Chuji flew into a rage: "Zhi Ping, is this true?"

  Yin Zhiping wanted to defend himself, but with Zhao Zhijian and Wu Ming as witnesses, plus being pointed at the soft numbness points, he knew it was hopeless to escape, so he remained silent.

  "Qiu Daochang, these two people trespassed on the forbidden land of the ancient tomb and even insulted the leader of my Ancient Tomb School. I must ask you for justice."
