Chapter 58: Saving Li Mochou

Gu Gu Hanyuan focused his gaze.

He saw a beautiful Daoist nun being besieged by several Quanzhen Daoists in front of the Wang Chongyang Palace gate.

The Daoist nun was in her thirties, with bright eyes and white teeth, fair skin, and rosy cheeks; she was a beauty of flower-like appearance. It was none other than Li Mochou.

Li Mochou was currently holding a horsetail whisk, parrying left and right, occasionally throwing a few Ice Soul Silver Needles to force back the longswords attacking her.

The main force of the siege was Qiu Qiu Chuji, Hao Hao Datong, and Sun Bu'er, while the other disciples could only assist.

In the distance, Ma Yu, Wang Wang Chuyi, and Liu Liu Chuxuan were watching the battle.

There were also a dozen Quanzhen disciples lying dead on the ground, which meant that although there were many disciples surrounding her, few dared to step forward.

Li Mochou's disciple, Hong Hong Lingbo, was currently being held by several Quanzhen disciples with swords, unable to move.

Hong Hong Lingbo was about twenty, wearing apricot-yellow Daoist robes, with fair skin and sparkling eyes; she was also a young beauty with an 87 rating.

Of course, she was still inferior to Li Mochou.

In Gu Gu Hanyuan’s eyes, although Li Mochou’s phoenix eyes held malice and she was ruthless and cruel, her foundation was too good. Although she couldn't compare to Little Dragon Maiden, she was still a beauty with a score over 90.

It could only be said that the Ancient Tomb Sect really had a knack for selecting disciples.

Gu Gu Hanyuan had no time to wonder how Li Mochou had come into conflict with the Quanzhen Sect.

He saw Sun Bu'er use the divine weapon Quanzhen Sword, bestowed by Wang Wang Chongyang, to cut off Li Mochou's horsetail whisk, leaving her center wide open.

Qiu Qiu Chuji saw the advantage and was about to stab Li Mochou in the chest.

Li Mochou, due to a moment of pride, was about to end up dead. Before dying, she remembered Lu Lu Zhanyuan, whom she had loved and then hated.

She remembered the beauty of falling in love with Lu Lu Zhanyuan when she was young and ignorant.

She was about to recite the classic line, "Ask the world, what is love, that it makes one promise their life?"

But she suddenly felt her waist being held, and Qiu Qiu Chuji's longsword moved further and further away from her.

She heard a clear, gentle voice beside her.

"Are you alright, Miss?"

Hearing this, Li Mochou subconsciously turned to look and saw a handsome man with gentle eyes, looking at her with concern.

Li Mochou was stunned for a moment, feeling the hot, powerful hand on her waist, and felt her whole body go soft.

Fortunately, she was soon gently released, and only then did she have the time to look at him carefully.

He was dressed in simple white, his hair like ink, tied simply behind his head with a ribbon. His features were even more handsome than Lu Lu Zhanyuan's, his posture heroic, and he held a sheathed longsword, perfectly fitting the image of a handsome young hero in Jianghu storybooks. Looking at him for a long time made her cheeks feel hot.

However, she also realized that he had saved her. For Li Mochou, this was a truly novel experience.

After all, since she started walking the Jianghu, she had always been known for being ruthless, and even Lu Lu Zhanyuan had mostly interacted with her with the image of a "little puppy."

Gu Gu Hanyuan then said loudly:

"I didn't expect the famous Quanzhen Sect to bully the small with the big, and use many to overwhelm the few to besiege a woman. It really has opened my eyes."

Li Mochou didn't expect Gu Gu Hanyuan to speak up to defend her, and no matter how cold she was, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.

"Who are you?"

Qiu Qiu Chuji was the most shocked, because just now he had watched the other party hold Li Mochou and move away from him as if walking in a garden.

Seeing such high-level light-body technique displayed by a young man, his old face looked a bit ugly.

Gu Gu Hanyuan managed the etiquette perfectly, cupping his hands in a salute.

"Gu Gu Hanyuan of the Wudang Sect, here to pay a visit to the mountain."

"Wudang Sect!"

The Quanzhen Sect members exclaimed.

Among the Central Plains countries, the Daoist influence in the Sui Guo is weak, with only Ning Daoqi, who is willing to be a running dog for the Buddhist Cihang Jingzhai; the Quanzhen Sect leads the Song Guo, and the Wudang Sect is supreme in the Ming Guo.

Being both Daoist sects, there is naturally no lack of fighting, as both want to promote their influence to the other's country.

In the early years, when Wang Wang Chongyang was still alive, the two sects were evenly matched.

After Wang Wang Chongyang passed away, although the Seven Quanzhen Masters who led the Quanzhen Sect were considered experts, their talent was limited, and there wasn't even a single Grandmaster among them. Only the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation could deter the Song Guo Jianghu.

But in the end, the Tiangang Big Dipper Formation was just a method of using many to bully the few, which inevitably drew much criticism.

So, in the end, to maintain the Quanzhen Sect's prestige, they had to accept many disciples regardless of quality, adding up to nearly ten thousand, distributed throughout the Song Guo.

In contrast, the Wudang Sect's reputation grew day by day, not only having Zhang Zhang Sanfeng, the number one person in the Ming Guo Jianghu, and numerous Grandmaster-level Elders, but the Wudang Seven Heroes, the pillars of the sect, were far stronger than the Quanzhen Seven Masters, with several having already broken through to Grandmaster.

And today, the Wudang Sect, their greatest rival, had sent a young disciple to pay a visit, and even saved Li Mochou right in front of Qiu Qiu Chuji and the others.

This was no different from a slap in the face.

Qiu Qiu Chuji's face became increasingly ugly.

Suddenly, he saw Zhen Zhen Zhibing, who was being held by Yang Guo and looked utterly wretched.

"Zhen Zhibing!"

It turned out that Qiu Qiu Chuji's beloved disciple, Zhen Zhen Zhibing, had suddenly disappeared last night, and after searching everywhere without success, it naturally caused quite a stir.

As a result, today they ran into Li Mochou, who was going to the Ancient Tomb to find trouble with Little Dragon Maiden.

Li Mochou's notoriety as the "Red-Tang Lian Fairy" was widespread, so they assumed Li Mochou had killed Zhen Zhen Zhibing and stepped forward to question her.

Li Mochou didn't like the Quanzhen Daoists to begin with, and even less so when questioned to her face, so she didn't bother to explain and directly struck to kill.

This poked a hornet's nest, and after being besieged by several waves of Quanzhen disciples, she simply attacked the Quanzhen Sect.

And so, the current situation arose.

"Release Zhen Zhibing quickly!"

Qiu Qiu Chuji was as impatient as fire, shouting sternly at Yang Guo.

Gu Gu Hanyuan naturally would not let him show off his power there.

"Your Quanzhen Sect really has raised a good disciple, peeping at a woman in the middle of the night, and even trying to commit beastly acts while she was sealed."

"Impossible!"

Qiu Qiu Chuji simply did not believe what Gu Gu Hanyuan said.

"Zhen Zhen Zhibing, why don't you say it yourself? We didn't seal your mute acupoint, why not argue a bit?"

Gu Gu Hanyuan knew very well that Zhen Zhen Zhibing's nature wasn't that bad; he was just bewitched by Little Dragon Maiden's beauty, and in other respects, he was still trustworthy.

Zhen Zhen Zhibing's face was ashen. At this point, his own ruin was one thing, but he had even implicated his sect. ===== CHAPTER 103 =====
