Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

Chapter 271 The Unforgettable Enemy

Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's words, the Holy Maiden of Tianmen's expression changed visibly, and she continued, "They are members of the Holy Sect."

After she finished speaking, she immediately turned to look at Duan Zhengchun again, observing his reaction.

"Oh."

After hearing this, Duan Zhengchun simply responded with a casual "yes," without even blinking.

"Oh?"

"Do you know that among those people you drove away, one of them was an elder of the Holy Gate!"

"If you hadn't intimidated them at the beginning, do you really think you could have been his match if a fight had broken out?"

The Holy Maiden of Tianmen asked in bewilderment.

"He's just a mere elder; I don't take him seriously."

"I dare to kill even the Holy Son of the Holy Gate, let alone him?!"

Duan Zhengchun gave a disdainful sneer and said confidently.

Upon hearing Duan Zhengchun's answer, the Holy Maiden of Tianmen couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. She had seen people who spoke wildly, but Duan Zhengchun was the most outrageous one.

However, after thinking about it, I didn't find it strange, since the Holy Son of the Holy Gate did indeed die at the hands of Duan Zhengchun.

"Seriously, are elders in your Heavenly Realm so worthless? Anyone can become one, right?"

Duan Zhengchun smiled and asked another question.

"What do you mean by this?"

The Holy Maiden of Tianmen frowned, looking puzzled.

"I killed someone before I arrived in Lingze City."

"That man claimed to be an elder of the Lingwu Sword Sect, named Zhu Tongshan."

Duan Zhengchun thought for a moment and said calmly.

"The Spirit Martial Sword Sect?!"

"That's right, there is indeed an elder named Zhu Tongshan in the Lingwu Sword Sect, and his cultivation level is quite high!"

"You actually killed him?!"

The Holy Maiden of Tianmen was shocked once again.

"Is he that good? But why can't he even withstand one of my moves?"

Duan Zhengchun looked at the Holy Maiden of Tianmen with curiosity and asked her in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Goddess of Tianmen was somewhat stunned and said helplessly, "Do you know that the Lingwu Sword Sect is one of the three major sects in the Heavenly Domain? Apart from Tianmen and the Holy Sect, the Lingwu Sword Sect has the greatest power."

"Moreover, Lingze City is within their sphere of influence. You killed their elder, and the Lingwu Sword Sect will never let this go!"

"I advise you to leave as soon as possible."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said, "I will not leave until you recover from your injuries."

Seeing Duan Zhengchun's serious expression, the Holy Maiden of Tianmen was momentarily dazed. She couldn't understand why someone she had just met would care so much about her.

Thinking that Duan Zhengchun first killed the Holy Son of the Holy Sect, then killed the elder of the Lingwu Sword Sect, and not long ago killed the Holy Sect disciple in order to save him, and also drove away the Holy Sect elder.

She simply couldn't believe that all of this was coming from a martial artist from the mortal realm.

Without realizing it, she suddenly became filled with curiosity about this extraordinary mortal in front of her.

"I'm very curious, how exactly did you kill the Holy Son of the Holy Gate?"

"You should know that with his cultivation level, he is enough to rank among the top ten experts in the Holy Sect! Apart from the Holy Sect Master, the major protectors, and the elders, his cultivation level is the highest!"

The Holy Maiden of Tianmen looked at Duan Zhengchun with a puzzled expression and once again asked the question that had been on her mind.

"Use your life."

Duan Zhengchun tilted his head back, took a sip of wine, and said calmly.

"Use your life?!"

"You're so quick to risk your life for someone, don't you care about anyone in this world?"

The Holy Maiden of Tianmen asked in surprise.

"It is precisely because of this that I have no choice but to work desperately."

Duan Zhengchun smiled and said with a solemn expression.

If he hadn't fought so hard, he wouldn't have been the only one to die!

The Holy Maiden of Tianmen paused for a moment, then instantly understood the meaning behind Duan Zhengchun's words. A strange hint of approval unconsciously flashed in her eyes as she looked at Duan Zhengchun.

She suddenly realized that the seemingly frivolous person in front of her might not be the person she thought he was.

"By the way, I still don't know the young lady's name?"

Duan Zhengchun smiled and asked seriously.

"Mu Qingyan".

The Holy Maiden of Tianmen hesitated for a moment before slowly answering.

"Mu Qingyan..."

"A good name..."

Duan Zhengchun silently recited it once, glanced at the Heavenly Gate Saintess with a smile, and his goodwill towards her increased again without him realizing it.

"Thank you for tonight."

Mu Qingyan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately expressed her gratitude.

"I want to know why the people of the Holy Gate want to kill you?"

Duan Zhengchun smiled and waved his hand, then slowly asked.

He worried that Mu Qingyan was being ambushed by the Holy Gate because of Bai Mufei's protection of him on Mount Tianming.

"The feud between the Heavenly Gate and the Holy Gate has lasted for over a thousand years, starting from the very beginning of their establishment."

"For a thousand years, the Heavenly Gate has always been one step ahead of the Holy Gate. Although on the surface everyone is at peace, the Holy Gate would love for the destruction of the Heavenly Gate, only in that way can they become the largest sect in the Heavenly Domain."

"That's why they came to me, because..."

At this point, Mu Qingyan suddenly stopped, glanced hesitantly at Duan Zhengchun, and swallowed the rest of her words.

Duan Zhengchun looked at Mu Qingyan, who seemed hesitant to speak, smiled slightly, and did not press further. He slowly said, "So, the Holy Sect already knows about what happened to you in Lingze City, and they will send someone here again soon?"

Mu Qingyan nodded, her expression becoming somewhat solemn and worried.

"Get some rest. Come with us early tomorrow morning."

Duan Zhengchun casually said something and then got up and walked outside.

"where to?"

Mu Qingyan asked a question, puzzled.

"I'll send you back to Tianmen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Duan Zhengchun left the room without looking back and closed the door behind him.

Mu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, listening to the footsteps fading away outside the door, her thoughts in disarray.

...

Two days later.

Just as Duan Zhengchun and his group were about to leave the territory of the Lingwu Sword Sect, they ultimately could not escape.

Duan Zhengchun sat on the carriage shaft, looking at the dozens of enemies blocking the road ahead, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Unexpectedly, they escaped the pursuit of the Holy Gate, but not the pursuit of the Spirit Martial Sword Sect.

"The one surnamed Duan!"

"You killed members of my Lingwu Sword Sect, don't think you can just get away with it! Today you will pay for this in blood!"

An elderly man at the head of the group pointed a finger at Duan Zhengchun and shouted a rebuke.

"I have no deep-seated hatred for the Lingwu Sword Sect, so why are you forcing me so relentlessly?"

Duan Zhengchun asked with a hint of helplessness.

"The matter of Tianyu Pass was originally just a matter of the reputation of the Lingwu Sword Sect, but you killed one of our elders outside Lingze City, so this is no longer a simple matter of salvaging our reputation!"

"A life for a life—this is an unchanging truth since ancient times!"

The old man glared coldly at Duan Zhengchun and said indignantly.

Don't you think what you said is ridiculous?

"If I killed your people, you would say 'a life for a life,' but if I had died that day, would you still say that?!"

Duan Zhengchun sneered and asked disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, the old man frowned and was momentarily speechless.

"Am I right? The Lingwu Sword Sect will never let this go."

"Based on my guess, this person is at least a protector in the Lingwu Sword Sect, and the people he brought must be the most elite disciples of the Lingwu Sword Sect!"

At that moment, Mu Qingyan's voice came from inside the carriage.

Duan Zhengchun gave a wry smile, jumped off the carriage, looked at the old man expressionlessly, and said loudly, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm in a hurry to get on my way, if you want to fight, then fight."

As they spoke, Duan Zhengchun had already taken down the Lingxiao Sword hanging at the carriage door.

For the sake of convenience, he has abandoned the sword case, so as not to have to carry it with him wherever he goes.

Without saying a word, the old man simply raised his hand and waved it, issuing the order.

Dozens of sword-wielding disciples immediately gathered around the carriage, all on high alert and exuding a murderous aura.

"I am Mu Qingyan, the Holy Maiden of Tianmen, and he is already a member of Tianmen!"

You'd better know what you're doing!

Just as the two sides were about to start fighting, Mu Qingyan suddenly lifted the brocade curtain at the carriage door and stepped out, looking at the old man expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, the old man was taken aback and quickly stopped his subordinates.

"You really are Mu Qingyan?!"

The old man looked Mu Qingyan up and down, and asked hesitantly.

Mu Qingyan didn't reply. Instead, she reached into her pocket and pulled out a token engraved with a silver dragon, displaying it directly to everyone's eyes.

Upon seeing the silver dragon token, the old man visibly trembled, his expression complex.

Duan Zhengchun turned to look at Mu Qingyan, who was still somewhat pale, standing on the carriage shaft, and frowned slightly...
