Chapter 183 Mountain closure
Chapter 183 Mountain closure
"Junior brother! Junior brother!"
Ma Yu watched as Qiu Chuji breathed his last, his heart filled with grief.
He turned to look at the other five people, who were also lifeless.
In an instant, he was the only one left of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen.
Gu Qianbei slowly walked to Ma Yu's side. Ma Yu looked up at the nonchalant young man, her eyes filled with fear, anger, and regret.
If he had insisted on not engaging in a final battle, the other six people wouldn't have died here.
This was not originally something that required a life-or-death confrontation.
"Just kill me."
Ma Yu closed his eyes and awaited death, already in despair.
Gu Qianbei smiled faintly, showing no intention of making a move.
"Among the Seven Masters of Quanzhen, I have the best impression of you, Master Ma, and I respect you as a good person."
So, since that palm strike didn't kill you, I won't kill you now either.
This is out of respect for Zhou Botong, and also out of respect for Guo Jing.
After all, I'm not a long-time, bloodthirsty monster.
He's mostly let out that last breath.
But if there is a next time, I will slaughter your entire family and destroy Wang Chongyang's lineage!
Give your subordinates a good talking-to. Don't think that just because you have some power, you can be arrogant and domineering.
It's important to understand that the strongest fortresses always crumble from within.
"If you don't teach them, the world is vast, and someone else will teach them."
Gu Qianbei said, then turned and left.
Ma Yu opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion.
Was he really wrong?
In recent years, he has devoted himself to seclusion and cultivation, hoping to comprehend the teachings of his master.
As a result, he neglected to discipline his disciples, leading to a mixed bag of good and bad among the Quanzhen disciples.
Nowadays, more and more people in the martial arts world do not take Quanzhen disciples seriously.
It's a joke for a sect without any grandmasters to want to be the leader of the righteous path.
Even the Beggars' Sect is more qualified than them.
Therefore, only the Quanzhen Sect remained immersed in its former glory; the other martial arts sects ceased to acknowledge this fact after Wang Chongyang's death.
As for Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, apart from a few people who know that he is still alive and has amazing strength, he is basically unknown in the martial arts world.
As the sun set, Ma Yu carried the bodies of the six Quanzhen disciples back to Chongyang Palace one by one.
The confusion in his eyes gradually turned into determination.
He had been living a good life for too long and had forgotten that the world of martial arts was a dog-eat-dog world.
You might get a reasonable argument with someone who cares about their reputation, but in this world, there are plenty of unreasonable people.
Whether righteous or demonic, they all prefer to settle things with their fists.
Or perhaps, this world of martial arts is simply a place where status is determined by who has the strongest fist.
Their fists, once truly powerful, are no longer large.
When the Quanzhen Sect members saw the corpses of the Six Quanzhen Masters, they were shocked, and many of them had tears in their eyes, saying they wanted revenge.
However, most of them were crying and wailing, filled with fear.
In a single day, the Quanzhen Sect suffered two catastrophes.
The harm caused by Huo Du was nothing, but Gu Qianbei's killing of six people was a devastating blow to the Quanzhen Sect.
In the end, Ma Yu silenced all voices and announced that the Quanzhen Sect would be closed for ten years, and no one was allowed to leave the mountain unless absolutely necessary.
The once-powerful Quanzhen Sect suddenly came to an end in this martial arts world.
This incident caused an instant sensation throughout the martial arts world, but few people knew what had happened.
Because Ma Yu didn't say anything, the Quanzhen Sect disciples didn't know much about the situation either.
For a time, it became a mystery in the martial arts world.
However, some people saw Huo Du leading his men to storm Chongyang Palace, and it was rumored that the Great Yuan was targeting the Quanzhen Sect, which severely damaged the sect and forced it to close its mountain for ten years.
Upon receiving the news, Guo Jing even sent someone to inquire, but in the end he only received a reply from Ma Yu.
"The reasons are too shameful to speak of. It is all our own doing. Jing'er, you should guard Xiangyang well, and Quanzhen will be fine."
Guo Jing was still completely confused when he received the letter, but Huang Rong analyzed some clues.
"Brother Jing, judging from the letter, it seems that Quanzhen has left some stain on its reputation in this matter and is in the wrong, which is why Master Ma Yu said these things."
As you know, Master Qiu and Master Sun, among others, have always had fiery tempers and have offended many people.
"Alas... With six junior brothers and sisters dying in succession, one can only imagine how Master Ma Yu felt."
The grief I felt was something only my master could truly understand.
Guo Jing sighed and ultimately decided to ignore it.
The affairs of Xiangyang all fell on his shoulders, and now that Quanzhen has made it clear that they do not need his help, he will not force him.
After all, no matter how important other things are, nothing is more important than guarding Xiangyang.
These are all things to be discussed later.
At this moment, after Ma Yu took the body away, the tomb gate opened.
"What happened? Why is there such a commotion?"
Li Mochou looked around at the signs of a fierce fight, her face full of confusion.
"The Seven Masters of Quanzhen have come knocking, but I've already dealt with them."
Gu Qianbei said softly.
Are you alright?
Li Mochou quickly asked.
The Seven Masters of Quanzhen are quite renowned, and Li Mochou, as a disciple of the Ancient Tomb Sect, is well aware of their prowess.
Hearing that Gu Qianbei had actually fought with them, how could they not be shocked?
"It's alright. It's just that Ma Yu took away six corpses, so the Quanzhen Sect probably won't be able to act so arrogantly anymore."
"What?"
This time, not only was Li Mochou surprised, but even Xiaolongnu showed a look of astonishment.
Gu Qianbei then briefly recounted what had just happened, and Li Mochou looked at him with a strange expression.
"Are you some kind of demonic sect disciple? How could you be so ruthless towards the Quanzhen Sect?"
In this way, the Quanzhen Sect is basically half-crippled.
"Just because they are the leaders of the righteous path does not mean they can be arrogant and do whatever they want."
I was just teaching them some principles of life, letting them go down and reflect on their experiences.
Gu Qianbei smiled sincerely.
But in Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu's eyes, it was clearly a demon pill.
But it's nothing.
Originally, the Ancient Tomb Sect didn't like the Quanzhen Sect either, so they were naturally happy to see the Quanzhen Sect suffer a setback.
"Let's not talk about them anymore. How are you all doing? You're all from the same sect, there's no misunderstanding that can't be resolved. Have you reconciled?"
Gu Qianbei asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Li Mochou revealed a slight smile.
"My junior sister has forgiven me, and I can visit the ancient tomb anytime from now on."
However, after thinking about it, I decided against returning to the ancient tomb.
There are rules in the Ancient Tomb: unless a man is willing to die for the disciples of the Ancient Tomb, the disciples of the Ancient Tomb can never leave the Ancient Tomb.
Having seen the dazzling world outside, it's truly difficult to return to the monotonous ancient tomb.
"I see."
Gu Qianbei nodded slightly; the outcome was already excellent.
"Miss Long, do you want to leave the ancient tomb?"
Suddenly, Gu Qianbei seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but look at Xiaolongnu and ask.
Little Dragon Girl was stunned by his words and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Because of Gu Qianbei, she heard many stories from the outside world, and what was once a blank slate now had color.
Therefore, she also developed a greater longing for the outside world.
However, due to the strict rules of the sect, she actually had no choice.
