Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

"You're too late, senior... My daughter and son-in-law... are already dead..."

Wu Santong sighed and shook his head, his face filled with sorrow. He turned to look in the direction of the mourning hall, his voice trembling with tears.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi frowned, immediately looked up at the direction of the mourning hall, shook his head helplessly, then looked coldly at Li Mochou and said in a deep voice, "Li Mochou, I have long heard of your many evil deeds, but I never expected you to be so ruthless!"

"Since that's the case, I'll get rid of you, this scourge, today!"

Li Mochou looked up at Huang Yaoshi standing on the wall and sneered, "Senior's words are nice, but it seems you've forgotten that your disciples Chen Xuanfeng and Mei Chaofeng were also vicious and ruthless, killing countless people back then!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi's expression changed drastically, and a murderous aura suddenly appeared in his eyes!

This matter has always been a thorn in his side!

"court death!"

Enraged, Huang Yaoshi suddenly roared and leaped down, striking Li Mochou's face with a palm strike! The speed was incredible, and the palm wind was fierce!

"A palm strike that cleaves through the air?!"

Li Mochou exclaimed in surprise, shoved her disciple Hong Lingbo aside, and hurriedly waved her whisk, retreating rapidly while counterattacking!

Although this was her first meeting with Huang Yaoshi, she had heard of Peach Blossom Island's unique martial arts over the years as she traveled the martial arts world and learned from various masters.

Even though she reacted quickly, she was still at a disadvantage from the start. Huang Yaoshi was almost like a shadow, and his sharp palm wind not only knocked away the Buddha whisk, but was also about to hit her face!

Just then, a ghostly figure suddenly darted out from the side, breaking through the two of them, and then swung out a palm to meet Huang Yaoshi's palm!

Duan Zhengchun has made his move!

With a loud bang, the two who had been exchanging blows were instantly separated. Huang Yaoshi took a step back, while Duan Zhengchun staggered back three steps!

Immediately, everyone present was shocked! No one expected that the young Duan Zhengchun could actually stand up after taking a palm strike from Huang Yaoshi!

Huang Yaoshi looked Duan Zhengchun up and down with some disbelief, then nodded and exclaimed, "Excellent movement technique! Excellent internal strength!"

Duan Zhengchun slowly steadied himself, wiped away a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, grinned, and said slowly, "I wonder how much of your strength you used just now, senior?"

Huang Yaoshi, with one hand behind his back, glanced at Li Mochou, who looked nervous behind Duan Zhengchun, and said in a deep voice, "Killing her doesn't require using your full strength. I only used sixty percent of my power."

Duan Zhengchun raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Huang Yaoshi, one of the Five Greats of the World, truly lives up to his reputation! I have learned a great deal!"

Huang Yaoshi looked Duan Zhengchun up and down and said sincerely, "Looking at the whole world, at your age, to be able to withstand a palm strike from sixty percent of my strength and even force me to take a step back, there is no one else but you! You are quite good!"

Duan Zhengchun laughed and said, "I only used eighty percent of my strength, but a loss is a loss."

Previously, his sparring with Hong Qigong was just a brief exchange, and even though he knew he was no match, he couldn't determine the exact difference in their skill levels. But what happened just now was different.

He and Huang Yaoshi, one wanted to save people, while the other wanted to kill. Although neither of them used their full strength, the difference in their abilities was already obvious.

Wu Santong and Li Mochou, who were standing to the side, were speechless with surprise. They knew all too well what kind of existence Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, was in the martial arts world, but they never expected that Duan Zhengchun could actually withstand a palm strike and survive, and even use only 80% of his strength!

Looking across the world, who dares to hold back when facing Huang Yaoshi?! Unless they have absolute confidence!

Huang Yaoshi's face flashed with surprise again, and he continued, "To possess such skill at such a young age is truly remarkable! Your future is limitless! May I ask who your master is? Would you be willing to reveal your name?!"

Duan Zhengchun clasped his hands in a fist salute and announced loudly, "I am Yin Zhiping, a disciple of the Changchun Master of the Quanzhen Sect!"

He had decided to stop hiding his identity. He would not let go of this opportunity to make the Quanzhen Sect proud. In case he broke any precepts in the future, this opportunity to make a name for himself would be his protection.

"So you're from the Quanzhen Sect! Master Changchun is indeed skilled at teaching. I never imagined that among the third generation of disciples, there would be such an outstanding one as you! It seems that at the next Mount Hua Sword Tournament, the Quanzhen Sect will surely have a place among the Five Greats of the World!"

Huang Yaoshi nodded approvingly, praising him sincerely, but he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, because Li Mochou had just pointed out his two rebellious disciples.

If he had disciplined them more strictly back then, the two wouldn't have caused trouble in the martial arts world.

"Thank you for the compliment, senior."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and clasped his hands in greeting. As he spoke, he was already circulating the innate true energy in his dantian, secretly repairing the damage to his body caused by the earlier exchange of blows.

If it weren't for his innate true qi protecting him, coupled with the foundation laid by the Shaolin Yi Jin Jing mental cultivation method, Huang Yaoshi's palm strike would probably have shattered his internal organs.

"Since you are a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, why are you protecting this female demon?! Do you intend to aid and abet evil?!"

At this moment, Huang Yaoshi looked at Li Mochou again and asked in a deep voice, the approving look on his face completely gone.

"I killed the person; it has nothing to do with her."

Duan Zhengchun shook his head, looked at Huang Yaoshi with a determined expression, and answered in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Huang Yaoshi turned to look at Wu Santong, only to find that Wu Santong nodded hesitantly.

"What about the caravan outside the city? And all the people she killed in the past? Were they all guilty and deserved their fate? Weren't there any innocent people among them?!"

"How can you face your sect with such blatant protection of her?!"

"You killed Lu Zhanyuan and his wife for her sake, so aren't you two birds of a feather?!"

Huang Yaoshi, with a stern face, continued to press for answers.

Duan Zhengchun said, "If someone knows they are wrong and is determined to turn over a new leaf and start anew, shouldn't we give them a chance to make amends?"

"No one is perfect, who can be without fault? Besides, she has already decided to retire to the mountains and forests and no longer concern herself with the affairs of the martial world. If she wants to start over, then I will protect her today no matter what!"

"If you want to kill her, then kill me first!"

Upon hearing this, Li Mochou, who was standing behind Duan Zhengchun, couldn't help but tremble again. She looked at Duan Zhengchun, who had his back to her, in disbelief, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She never expected that Duan Zhengchun would actually risk his life against a top master like Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, in order to protect herself!

"You really want to get involved?!"

Huang Yaoshi, equally solemn, slowly asked another question.

Duan Zhengchun looked at Huang Yaoshi with a resolute expression and said loudly, "I will see this through to the end! The reason I am here is to resolve this feud!"

"This matter has nothing to do with good or evil, right or wrong. I only hope that from today onwards, Li Mochou will no longer be the Red Serpent Fairy, nor the female demon that everyone wants to kill!"

Huang Yaoshi pressed on in a deep voice, "You care about her that much?! Even if it offends me, the Lu Family Manor, and the entire martial arts world, and you're forever branded with a bad reputation, you still want to get involved?!"

Duan Zhengchun nodded without hesitation and said loudly, "It's on my mind!"

Standing behind Duan Zhengchun, Li Mochou's eyes were already red, her lips were trembling, and tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Hahaha..."

Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's firm reply, Huang Yaoshi suddenly laughed loudly, then revealed a look of approval on his face and exclaimed, "Excellent! I never imagined that decades later, I would encounter a heroic young man in the martial world who is just like me, so unconventional, unrestrained, and unbound by worldly thoughts, so willful and passionate!"

"I've decided to be your friend!"

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun finally breathed a sigh of relief and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, senior! It is my greatest honor to befriend you!"

In truth, he wasn't entirely confident. If Huang Yaoshi were to go all out to kill Li Mochou, he didn't know if he could still protect her.

Then, Huang Yaoshi glanced at the mourning hall again and said hesitantly, "But someone has indeed died, and we should give the people of Lu Family Village an explanation."

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun hesitated for a moment, then slowly turned to look at Li Mochou and said slowly, "Actually, Lu Zhanyuan and his wife did not die."

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but show a hint of surprise!

Especially Wu Santong and his wife, because they witnessed Duan Zhengchun kill Lu Zhanyuan and his wife with their own eyes, and it was already confirmed at the time...
