"Wan Yunting?"
Yang Fei's expression changed immediately upon seeing Wan Yunting get out of the car.
Beside Yang Fei were others: Chen Beixuan, the second son of Chen Jing, the grand elder of the Huashan Sect! Liu Zaiyi, the son of Liu Bing, the sect leader of the Qingcheng Sect! The other two were Qi Xiu, the second senior brother of the Wudang Sect, and his fifth junior brother, Qin Yuan!
There was also a young disciple from Longhu Mountain, whom he hadn't met before, named Zhou Yizhen! And a disciple from the Shaolin Sect, also unseen, a martial monk in his thirties, whose dharma name was Wuchi!
"Hmph, quite a gathering!"
Wan Yunting looked at these young disciples from various sects, knowing they were the ones Yang Jingyi had mentioned in the county town, likely looking for Zhou Ruoxi's whereabouts!
This was why Li Zihang had not dared to approach Chen Qiuyun during this period, fearing that these sect members would track him and discover Chen Qiuyun residing in the back mountain of Kunshan Village!
Qi Xiu and the others looked at Wan Yunting, their faces constantly changing, exchanging glances, surprised by his appearance here!
They hadn't reached Kunshan Village yet, and Wan Yunting had just driven out of Wuliang Mountain. He didn't expect to encounter them halfway.
"Speak, why are you here in Wuliang Mountain?"
Facing Yang Fei and the disciples of the various sects like Qi Xiu, they were considered old acquaintances.
"Hmph."
Liu Zaiyi, the son of Liu Bing, the sect leader of the Qingcheng Sect, his face was extremely grim, filled with rage.
When he had gone to the capital to retrieve the Snow Mountain Sect's martial arts manual, he had been forced by Wan Yunting to kneel and apologize, causing him and his father to lose face in front of everyone from the various sects.
Such humiliation had always weighed on Liu Zaiyi's heart, so his words were naturally impolite, and he scoffed, "Wan Yunting, does our presence here concern you? Aren't you overstepping your bounds?"
"Exactly..."
The other young disciples from the surrounding sects echoed him, feeling that Wan Yunting did not take the various sects seriously at all.
"Brother Wan, this is no longer your Wuliang Mountain!"
Qi Xiu stepped forward and said calmly, "Do we need to explain to you why we are here?"
Wan Yunting lit a cigarette, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke before looking up and scanning Qi Xiu, Liu Zaiyi, and the others with a smile playing on his lips, "If you don't say, can't I guess?"
Qi Xiu and Zhou Yizhen, the disciple from Longhu Mountain, frowned deeply, their eyes fixed on Wan Yunting. Beside them, Liu Zaiyi’s face was grim and furious as he shouted, "Wan Yunting, so what if you guess? Do you really think we from the various sects fear you?"
"To tell you the truth, we are here to find that Zhou Ruoxi and find out the whereabouts of the Demon Cult's Demon Pool..."
"Liu Zaiyi, shut up!"
As soon as he spoke, Qi Xiu and Zhou Yizhen's expressions changed drastically, and they quickly berated Liu Zaiyi.
"Senior Brother Qi, I think Brother Liu is right."
Chen Beixuan, the second son of Chen Jing, the grand elder of the Huashan Sect, recalled the incident when his father and elder brother were hung at the gate of their Wuliang Taoist temple by Wan Yunting. He was furious.
Therefore, he felt it was time to settle the score with Wan Yunting while he was alone, and said coldly, "Wan Yunting, since you are here, we don't need to find Zhou Ruoxi anymore."
"Now, either you tell us the exact location of the Demon Cult's Demon Pool, or we will bury you here!"
Upon hearing Chen Beixuan's words, Qi Xiu and Zhou Yizhen’s expressions changed again, and they hurriedly reprimanded, "Chen Beixuan, are you trying to get us killed?"
"Hahaha..."
Wan Yunting, smoking his cigarette, was amused by Chen Beixuan and Liu Zaiyi. He looked at them with utter contempt and amusement, saying, "Who gave you two the courage to say such things to me?"
"Is it your sect leaders of the Qingcheng and Huashan Sects?"
"That's right!"
Liu Zaiyi and Chen Beixuan, with arrogant and furious faces, pointed at Wan Yunting and cursed, "Don't think we're afraid of you just because you're from the Ouyang family."
Chen Beixuan snorted, "Wan Yunting, think about where you are right now. This is not the capital. Even if we get rid of you, no one will discover your body buried here."
"So, I advise you to tell us the whereabouts of the Demon Cult's Demon Pool, lest we take action!"
"Kneel and say it!"
Liu Zaiyi was furious, pointing at Wan Yunting and shouting angrily, "Just as you made me kneel before, kneel down and apologize to me now, quickly..."
"Shut up!"
Qi Xiu beside them suddenly roared at the two utter fools, cursing, "Are you trying to get us killed?"
Zhou Yizhen and Wuchi also frowned, and even Yang Fei, a disciple of Guo Yu, dared not speak.
Because they knew how terrifying Wan Yunting's martial arts were; even if they attacked together, they wouldn't be enough for him.
"Brother Wan, please ignore these two fools..."
Qi Xiu quickly clasped his fists and advised Wan Yunting, saying, "We are here for tourism, and we have no other purpose. We hope Brother Wan doesn't misunderstand. We will leave now, let's go..."
Saying this, he gestured for the others to leave quickly...
"Qi Xiu, who are you calling a fool?"
Liu Zaiyi was still enraged, and Chen Beixuan also taunted, "Your Wudang Sect is truly cowardly. One Wan Yunting has scared you all like this."
Seeing this, Qi Xiu trembled with anger and roared at them, "If you want to die, don't drag us with you."
Disciples from other sects also looked speechlessly at Liu Zaiyi and Chen Beixuan. Qi Xiu probably regretted forming a team with these two fools to find Zhou Ruoxi's whereabouts.
"Senior Brother Zhou, Senior Brother Wuchi, let's go."
Qi Xiu ignored these two guys and quickly left with Zhou Yizhen and Wuchi, not wanting to conflict with Wan Yunting.
"Want to leave?"
However, Wan Yunting finished his cigarette, stepped on it twice, and then looked up. His sharp gaze fixed on Qi Xiu and Zhou Yizhen, and he sneered, "What a poor excuse, 'tourism'."
"Heh, Senior Brother Qi, do you take me, Wan Yunting, for a fool?"
Qi Xiu's expression changed, his brow furrowed, and he looked at Wan Yunting cautiously, saying, "Brother Wan, what do you mean by this?"
Wan Yunting sneered, "No other meaning, I just want to teach you a lesson!"
As soon as he said this, Zhou Yizhen, Wuchi, Yang Fei, and the others tensed up, becoming vigilant and adopting fighting stances, ready to engage at any moment!
"Qi Xiu, do you see? This arrogant fellow has no intention of letting us leave!"
Liu Zaiyi pointed at Wan Yunting while shouting to Qi Xiu, "I say, let's go together, take this guy down first, and then force out the Demon Cult's Demon Pool's whereabouts... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, a pig-like scream erupted from Liu Zaiyi. Wan Yunting had swiftly charged over, grabbed the index finger he was pointing with, and forcefully snapped it.
"You..."
Chen Beixuan and the others nearby finally reacted, involuntarily stepping back a few paces, staring wide-eyed at the scene...
*Crack...*
Another crisp sound of bone and flesh breaking was heard, accompanied by Liu Zaiyi's sharp cries, which finally brought Qi Xiu, Qin Yuan, Zhou Yizhen, Wuchi, and Yang Fei back to their senses. They hurriedly shouted, "Wan Yunting, what are you doing, quickly..."
"Hmph!"
Wan Yunting turned his head, his sharp eyes filled with dominance, glaring ferociously at Qi Xiu and the others. Their hearts trembled violently, and the words stuck in their throats, unable to be uttered.
"Don't worry, it will be your turn soon!"
At this moment, Wan Yunting's entire body erupted with a powerful aura. He coldly finished speaking to them and kicked Liu Zaiyi, who was defenseless, in the chest. He sent him flying out, rolling like a muffled drum on the snow for a long distance before stopping...
*Puff...!*
He spat out a mouthful of blood, followed by Liu Zaiyi's pained wails...
"Brother Liu..."
Chen Beixuan reacted, rushing over to check Liu Zaiyi's injuries. He found his right hand hanging limply on the snow, trembling uncontrollably. It was estimated that Wan Yunting had crippled it.
"My... my Dantian hurts so much..."
Liu Zaiyi, with tears streaming down his face, clutched his abdomen where his Dantian was located, crying out in agony...
Chen Beixuan's expression changed drastically. He examined his Dantian and was immediately shocked, "The Dantian is broken!"
"What, ah..."
Upon hearing that his Dantian had been shattered by Wan Yunting, Liu Zaiyi realized he could never practice martial arts again and would become a cripple. He screamed and yelled in terror and grief...
"Wan Yunting, how could you do this?"
Chen Beixuan put Liu Zaiyi down and stood up. His gaze towards Wan Yunting had changed. The previous assertiveness was replaced by fear...
This fellow, without a word, had directly crippled Liu Zaiyi's Dantian, rendering him unable to practice martial arts for the rest of his life. This was more ruthless than killing!
"Heh heh..."
Wan Yunting walked towards him, a cold smile on his lips, saying, "Two idiots. I really don't know how such a foolish son was born to a wise man like Sect Leader Liu."
"And you, Chen Beixuan, right? You want to settle accounts with your father? Fine, come and settle them with me?"
"I..."
Facing Wan Yunting's taunting provocation, Chen Beixuan's face turned pale, his heart trembling uncontrollably. He knew that his mediocre skills were no match for this person.
"Senior Brother Qi, Senior Brother Zhou, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and make your move... Ah!"
However, before Chen Beixuan could finish speaking, Wan Yunting rushed forward, leaving only an afterimage before appearing in front of Chen Beixuan, who was five meters away. He kicked towards Chen Beixuan's abdomen and Dantian, causing him to scream and fly backward...
"Junior Brother Chen...!"
Seeing this, Qi Xiu and Zhou Yizhen finally reacted, glaring at Wan Yunting and shouting, "Wan Yunting, you've gone too far! To cripple Junior Brother Liu and Junior Brother Chen's Dantians with such vicious attacks, are you not afraid of provoking the anger of all our sects?"
"Provoking anger?"
Wan Yunting turned his head, looking coldly at Qi Xiu in the distance, then turned and walked towards him, saying, "Qi Xiu, do you really think your Wudang Sect's righteous stance allows you to represent justice?"
"If anyone has the deepest and most ruthless schemes, it's your master, Zhong Yulong!"
Qin Yuan, his fifth junior brother, glared and roared, "Wan Yunting, I won't allow you to speak about my master like that!"
"Heh, I said it, what can you do to me?"
Wan Yunting walked towards them, sneering and provoking.
Today, he wanted to teach these people from the various sects a profound lesson, to let the sect leaders of the various sects understand what consequences they would face for angering him, Wan Yunting!
