Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping
Chapter 134 The Struggle for the Succession of the Sect Leader
"Although Ouyang Feng has gone mad, the only person he cares about is his adopted son Yang Guo, which shows that he still has a shred of conscience left in his heart."
"Although he injured many of his fellow disciples today, he did leave room for maneuver and did not kill them. Besides, he was already seriously injured by me, so he deserved what he got."
"No matter how many atrocities Ouyang Feng committed in the past, it should not be borne by Yang Guo. In his heart, Ouyang Feng is just his family member, regardless of good or evil. He should not be crippled in martial arts and expelled from the sect."
"As for Ouyang Feng, if he commits any more evil deeds in the future, I will definitely not let him go!"
After a slight hesitation, Duan Zhengchun continued speaking, giving Wang Chuyi no chance to refute.
As he finished speaking, Qiu Chuji's expression grew increasingly solemn, and he fell into deep thought once again.
"Zhiping! How could you be so foolish?! Ouyang Feng is a heinous villain who has a blood feud with our Quanzhen Sect! You actually let him go without permission for the sake of your own disciple. Did you even ask us or our Sect Leader for his opinion?!"
"Since when did it become your place to rule the Quanzhen Sect?!"
Wang Chuyi slammed his hand on the table and stood up, looking at Duan Zhengchun with dissatisfaction and rebuking him excitedly. Due to the excessive force of his movements, he couldn't help but cough again, clutching his chest.
Duan Zhengchun slowly turned around and looked at Wang Chuyi, who was looking excited. He said coldly, "Since Uncle Wang knows that Ouyang Feng has a deep-seated hatred for my Quanzhen Sect, why didn't you avenge Uncle Tan all these years, and why did you wait until today?"
"you..."
Upon hearing this, Director Wang froze on the spot, pointing a finger at Duan Zhengchun, speechless for a moment.
The other three were also ashamed and lowered their heads helplessly. This old grudge had always been a thorn in their side.
Of course, they also wanted to avenge Tan Chuduan, but with their martial arts skills, they were no match for Ouyang Feng. Moreover, Ouyang Feng's whereabouts were unpredictable, so even if they wanted to find him, it wouldn't be easy.
Even if they find it, it will probably just be a pointless death.
Duan Zhengchun glanced at Wang Chuyi with disdain, then ignored him and turned to Qiu Chuji, bowing once more and awaiting Qiu Chuji's decision.
"Hmph, just as the saying goes, like master, like disciple! What kind of master, what kind of disciple!"
Enraged, Wang Chuyi snorted coldly and suddenly said something sarcastic.
Upon hearing this, the other three men present immediately changed their expressions, their gazes all turning to Qiu Chuji, who had remained silent.
Wang Chuyi belatedly realized that he might have said something wrong, and hurriedly looked nervously at Qiu Chuji, only to find that Qiu Chuji was looking at him coldly.
Duan Zhengchun sneered inwardly and watched the show.
He knew Wang Chuyi was referring to him and Yang Guo, but he was also Qiu Chuji's disciple, so it was hard not to think that he was indirectly criticizing Qiu Chuji.
"Master, please don't misunderstand. That's not what I meant. I was just saying that Zhiping's teachings are ineffective..."
"There's something I've been keeping from you, Master. It seems there's no need to hide it anymore. Please allow me to summon Zhijing for a face-to-face confrontation..."
Wang Chuyi hurriedly clasped his hands in a salute and said nervously.
"I'd like to see what you have to say."
Qiu Chuji gave Wang Chuyi a cold look and said in a deep voice.
Wang Chuyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and immediately ordered the disciples outside the hall to inform Zhao Zhijing.
Not long after, Zhao Zhijing strode into the main hall, bowed to each of the Five Masters of Quanzhen, and finally hesitated before looking at Wang Chuyi.
"Zhijing, you can now tell the sect leader and the other senior uncles what you reported to your master before."
Wang Chuyi winked at Zhao Zhijing and slowly offered a reminder.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhijing's eyes flashed with joy. He then turned and gave Duan Zhengchun a cold look, clasped his hands in a fist salute to the others, and said loudly, "Reporting to the Sect Leader and all senior uncles and masters, when Junior Brother Yin drove away those martial arts figures at the Tomb of the Living Dead that day, he personally admitted that Xiaolongnu, the third-generation leader of the Ancient Tomb Sect, is his woman!"
Upon hearing this, the five Quanzhen disciples' expressions changed drastically. They looked at Duan Zhengchun in disbelief, and some of them even showed anger on their faces.
"Furthermore, I have discovered that Junior Brother Yin often sneaks out of the Quanzhen Sect in the middle of the night and doesn't return all night. I suspect that he is going to secretly meet with that Little Dragon Girl! He has already broken the precept against illicit sex. Even if he is not expelled from the sect, he is probably not qualified to participate in the sect's martial arts tournament!"
Zhao Zhijing glanced at everyone's reactions and spoke again, this time in an even louder voice.
Duan Zhengchun frowned instantly, a murderous intent rising in his heart. However, if the Five Masters of Quanzhen hadn't been present, he would have already made his move.
"Zhiping, is everything he said true?!"
Hao Datong stood up abruptly, looking at Duan Zhengchun with a solemn expression.
"You have disappointed us greatly!"
Sun Bu'er also looked at Duan Zhengchun with dissatisfaction, her brows furrowed with disappointment.
Duan Zhengchun hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "The reason I said that in public that day was only to dispel the idea of those Jianghu people who believed the rumors and kept coming up the mountain to harass us. It was not true."
Wang Chuyi sneered and said in a deep voice, "Even now, you still want to hide it?! Do you expect us to bring that guy surnamed Long here for a face-to-face confrontation?!"
Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun slowly turned his head to look at Wang Chuyi, who was relentless and the most active, and clenched his fists.
If he wanted to make a move against Wang Chuyi, no one present could stop him.
But he can't.
"Enough. Zhiping's attempt to stop those martial arts figures was at my secret behest. I believe he was only doing it as a temporary measure."
At this moment, Qiu Chuji, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke.
Upon hearing Qiu Chuji's words, the other four disciples hesitated for a moment and fell silent.
Duan Zhengchun looked at Qiu Chuji gratefully, his heart filled with guilt. He knew that Qiu Chuji was not sure and was only trying to protect him.
"Senior Brother Headmaster, it's not that I'm intentionally making things difficult for Zhiping. I naturally believe what you say, but I'm afraid Zhiping's answer won't convince everyone."
"If what he said is true, then why did that woman surnamed Long suddenly barge into my Quanzhen Sect and start a fight a few days ago? And the girl surnamed Lu that he brought back from Jiangnan, their relationship seems unclear as well."
"If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, I'm afraid it will only lead to more rumors in the future. In my opinion, it would be best if Zhiping did not participate in the sect's martial arts tournament in half a month. It's not too late to wait until everything is investigated before making any decisions."
Wang Chuyi hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Qiu Chuji again, and said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun snorted coldly. Only now did he finally understand that Wang Chuyi's target was not Yang Guo at all, but to use this opportunity to suppress him and disqualify him from participating in the martial arts tournament.
"There is another matter. On the way back from the Western Regions, I personally witnessed Junior Brother Yin carrying a wine gourd with him and drinking from it in front of me."
At this moment, Zhao Zhijing, who had been silent for a moment, spoke again.
These words shocked the Five Masters of Quanzhen once again.
"He even broke the vow of abstinence from alcohol?! What kind of behavior is this?!"
Hao Datong's expression changed drastically, and he loudly questioned him in dissatisfaction.
"Also, when we were in the back mountain just now, I believe that the headmaster and all the other senior and junior brothers have already seen that the move Zhiping used to injure Ouyang Feng was not a Quanzhen Sect martial art."
"Although Zhiping is exceptionally intelligent and a rare martial arts prodigy who can integrate the martial arts of other schools and create his own moves, in the long run, I'm afraid he will inevitably attract criticism, right?"
"If he becomes the chief disciple, but frequently uses martial arts techniques outside his own school when he travels the martial world, how will the martial arts community view him?"
"What is your opinion on this matter, Senior Brother Headmaster?"
Wang Chuyi shook his head helplessly, turned to look at Qiu Chuji, and said meaningfully.
“Since Zhiping returned to the mountain this time, his martial arts style has indeed become too bizarre. If he frequently uses martial arts of unknown origin and fails to carry forward the martial arts of our sect, he will probably find it difficult to inherit his master’s will.”
"If he really does philander everywhere and ignores religious rules and worldly etiquette, he will inevitably be ridiculed by the world in the future. Such a person is indeed not worthy of becoming the successor of the sect."
Sun Bu'er, who had not spoken until now, slowly opened her mouth and said something, but deliberately avoided looking at Duan Zhengchun as she spoke.
After all, she and Liu Chuxuan only returned to Zhongnan Mountain alive because of Duan Zhengchun, so standing up against Duan Zhengchun now naturally made them feel guilty...
