Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

Liu Chuxuan's expression was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "I have long heard that this person is ruthless and has done all sorts of evil deeds. I never thought I would meet him here."

Duan Zhengchun ignored everyone and slowly walked to the side. Looking at the three silver needles he had thrown on the ground, he couldn't help but frown.

Now he finally remembered why the silver needles seemed so familiar: he had seen someone using the same silver needles in Zhongnan Mountain!

This person is Xiaolongnu.

He never expected that he would meet Li Mochou, Xiaolongnu's senior sister, on his return journey. Qiu Chuji had mentioned this abandoned disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, who was known as the female demon in the martial arts world, to him before.

Faced with such a ruthless person, he would normally have acted without hesitation, but now he hesitated.

After all, she and Little Dragon Girl were from the same school.

Master Kumu, standing to the side, looked at Liu Chuxuan with a solemn expression and said earnestly, "Since Master Liu has asked, then this old monk will tell you the truth. Fifteen years ago, Li Mochou caused a great disturbance at Lu Family Manor for her own personal grudge, intending to kill Lu Zhanyuan, the head of Lu Family Manor. Since this old monk happened to be present at the time, I was able to avert the killing."

"But when Li Mochou left, she made a bold statement that she would return in fifteen years and leave no one alive in Lu Family Village!"

"Now that the fifteen-year agreement has been reached, I was preparing to head to Lu Family Manor to offer my assistance. However, I have now been struck by Li Mochou's Ice Soul Silver Needle, and I am afraid I will be unable to arrive as scheduled!"

"We urge Master Liu and Master Sun to immediately send someone to inform the Lu family village! It will be too late if we delay!"

"If the two Taoist priests can resolve this bloodshed, it will be a great merit!"

After hearing Master Kumu's words, Liu Chuxuan and Sun Bu'er exchanged glances, both showing a hint of unease on their faces.

The Quanzhen Sect had already suffered heavy losses on this westward journey. They originally intended to return to Zhongnan Mountain as soon as possible and did not want to cause any more trouble.

Moreover, their combined strength has not yet recovered to half, so even if they rush to Lu Family Village, they will probably be powerless to do so.

"I go!"

Just then, Duan Zhengchun suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Kumu immediately showed his gratitude and slowly said, "If Young Hero Yin could help us, that would be wonderful!"

Liu Chuxuan looked at Duan Zhengchun with a solemn expression and said with concern, "Zhiping, that Li Mochou is ruthless. Although you are highly skilled in martial arts, you still lack experience in the martial arts world."

"If you want to get involved in this matter, your first priority is to ensure your own safety. Don't try to be a hero!"

Duan Zhengchun nodded and said, "Uncle-Master, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. However, if I rush to Lu Family Village now, I'm afraid I won't be able to escort you back to the mountain for the time being. Why don't you let Senior Brother lead the disciples to send you back first? We have already returned to the Central Plains, and the Vajra Sect should not be chasing us anymore."

Liu Chuxuan hesitated for a moment before agreeing, then immediately called Zhao Zhijing over and whispered a few words of advice to him.

"Escort your senior uncles back as soon as possible, without delay. If anything goes wrong, you know the consequences!"

Duan Zhengchun looked at Zhao Zhijing and gave him a cold reminder.

"Don't worry, he's not only your senior uncle, but also my senior uncle."

Zhao Zhijing nodded and went to prepare, but a sinister resentment flashed in his eyes the moment he turned around.

Then, Duan Zhengchun asked Cui Zhifang to stay behind for the time being, and together with Lin Zhiyuan, to find a place to take good care of Master Kumu until he returned.

Because of Xiaolongnu, he had to get involved in this matter.

But he hasn't decided which side to help yet.

...

Gangneung City.

When Duan Zhengchun arrived in Jiangling City alone on horseback, it was already dark. He first went to a cloth shop to choose a blue outfit, then went to a restaurant to eat something, bought a gourd of wine, inquired about the location of Lu Family Village, and then led his horse there.

When he arrived at Lu Family Village, he found the entire village eerily quiet. There was not a sound to be heard, the gates were locked, and there wasn't even a single guard in sight.

After a moment's hesitation, Duan Zhengchun slowly climbed the stone steps and knocked on the door.

But after a long time, no one opened the door. Duan Zhengchun frowned, tied his horse somewhere, leaped over the wall, and went straight into Lu Family Village.

The entire mansion was completely silent, except for a faint candlelight burning in a distant hall, but not a single person could be seen in the distance.

Duan Zhengchun hesitated for a moment, then walked straight toward the hall.

But just as he took a few steps, a slight noise suddenly came from the shadows on his left. Then, a burly figure with messy hair rushed out and attacked Duan Zhengchun's face with a palm strike!

Duan Zhengchun's expression changed slightly, and he immediately unleashed a palm strike!

With a loud bang, the man was sent flying by his palm strike, staggering as he landed on the ground.

Duan Zhengchun carefully examined the man and was about to explain when another figure suddenly rushed out from his right, wielding two short swords and attacking his middle and bottom lanes simultaneously!

It was an old woman!

Left with no other choice, Duan Zhengchun had to dodge and fight back at the same time.

He wasn't there to help Li Mochou kill people, so he didn't use his full strength in any of his moves. But the other side seemed to be prepared, with one person after another rushing out from the shadows!

In no time, there were already seven or eight people, both men and women!

Although the enemy outnumbered them, none of them were a match for Duan Zhengchun, and none of them even had a chance to get close to him.

However, at that moment, the disheveled old man who had made the first move suddenly rushed towards him, and with a swift flick of his right index finger, a sharp force struck Duan Zhengchun's face!

One-Finger Divine Skill?!

Duan Zhengchun's expression changed slightly. He also extended a finger with lightning speed, followed by an even more powerful burst of energy that instantly neutralized the opponent's One Yang Finger. The energy, which was still going strong, almost grazed the face of the disheveled old man!

"Stop it all!"

Immediately afterward, the old man waved his hand, stopping the crowd from continuing their attack. He looked at Duan Zhengchun with surprise, a strange expression appearing on his face.

Upon hearing the old man's words, the other seven men all stopped fighting and surrounded Duan Zhengchun, each one on high alert, panting heavily.

"You can also use the One-Finger Divine Skill?! Just who are you?!"

"What exactly is his relationship with that female demon Li Mochou?!"

The old man pointed at Duan Zhengchun and questioned him loudly.

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun realized that the other party had mistaken him for Li Mochou's accomplice.

"I think you have misunderstood. I was entrusted by Master Kumu to come to Lu Family Village to deliver a message. Li Mochou has arrived in Jiangnan and will probably come to Lu Family Village soon."

Duan Zhengchun glanced at the people present, and finally fixed his gaze on another middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes.

If he's not mistaken, this person should be Lu Zhanyuan.

"Huh? Master Kumu sent you? Oh dear, this is a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple, almost causing a misunderstanding."

"We thought you were in cahoots with that female demon Li Mochou, which is why we took action. We hope you will forgive us, young master."

The old man suddenly realized what was happening, smiled sheepishly, and quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"It's alright. May I ask which one of you is Master Lu Zhanyuan?"

Duan Zhengchun returned the greeting with clasped hands and looked directly at the middle-aged man in fine clothes.

"My name is Lu Zhanyuan, this is my wife He Yuanjun, my daughter Lu Wushuang, and my niece Cheng Ying."

The middle-aged man stepped forward, pointed to the three people beside him, and introduced them one by one.

"My name is Wu Santong. This is my wife and my two sons, Wu Dunru and Wu Xiuwen."

The old man smiled and pointed to the three people beside him, introducing them with a smile.

Duan Zhengchun didn't reply, but nodded to each of them as a greeting.

"Young hero, if you don't mind, please come inside and we can talk in detail."

Lu Zhanyuan gestured for Duan Zhengchun to proceed, looking at him with a sincere expression.

Duan Zhengchun nodded without refusing, and walked straight into the candlelit hall, finding a seat near the door.

At Lu Zhanyuan's suggestion, his daughter Lu Wushuang personally poured Duan Zhengchun a cup of tea.

Looking at the fresh-faced girl before him, who kept stealing glances at him, Duan Zhengchun's lips curled into a faint smile...
