“When do we leave?”
After a long silence, Chen Qiuyun asked calmly.
“The sooner the better.”
Abbess Jinyu was worried about her senior sister Yun Bai and wanted to return as soon as possible.
Wan Yunting said, “Before we go back, let’s visit Wuliang Daoist Temple. I’ll call Zihang now and ask him to pick you up tomorrow morning.”
Abbess Jinyu nodded and said nothing more.
Wan Yunting also said to Chen Qiuyun, “Tomorrow, Ruoxi and I will go into the mountains to a valley for closed-door cultivation. Why don’t you come with us and stay for a while, Sister Qiuyun?”
“This way, if people from the major sects come looking for you, they won’t trouble you when I’m not here!”
Chen Qiuyun saw that Abbess Jinyu had already left. Hearing Wan Yunting’s suggestion, she also nodded in agreement…
So, at ten o’clock the next morning, Li Zihang drove over to pick up Abbess Jinyu and take her back to Wuliang Daoist Temple, and then to Emei Sect…
“Martial Aunt, be very careful when you get back to the sect…”
Zhou Ruoxi reluctantly saw her off, afraid that Abbess Jinyu might encounter any more accidents after returning to Emei Sect.
Abbess Jinyu turned around, smiled at her, and said, “Yes, I will help Yun Bai take over the Emei Sect when I get back!”
This statement made Zhou Ruoxi’s pretty face freeze. Wan Yunting couldn’t help but chuckle. He waved to Abbess Jinyu and told Li Zihang to drive carefully. The three of them watched the car slowly drive away…
Seeing that the woman was still worried, Wan Yunting comforted her with a smile, “Now your Martial Aunt Jinyu has not only recovered from her coldness but has also mastered the Snow Mountain Sect’s martial arts. Ordinary formidable masters are no match for her.”
“So, it’s possible that when she returns to Emei Sect, she might stir up another storm and change the outcome!”
Hearing this, Zhou Ruoxi sighed, hoping it would be so.
Afterward, Wan Yunting and Zhou Ruoxi packed their things with Chen Qiuyun, and the three of them also went into the mountains…
In the afternoon, at the county hospital of Buxida County.
“How could this happen? Zaiyi, Zaiyi, wake up…!”
“Beixuan, don’t scare me, wake up quickly…!”
“Second Senior Brother…”
In the ward, anxious voices could be heard from Liu Bing, the Sect Leader of Qingcheng Sect, Chen Jing, the Great Elder of Huashan Sect, and Xu Yuxin and Yang Xuan, fellow disciples of Wudang Sect…
“Wan Yunting, Liu Bing and you are irreconcilable enemies…!”
Then, Liu Bing’s furious roar was heard…
Outside the hall, Zhong Yulong, clad in a white Taoist robe, had a grim expression on his old face, his brows tightly furrowed. His eldest disciple, Xian Yun, was by his side…
Almost all the major sects were present: Shi Yizhen, the Sect Leader of Huashan Sect, Zhang Qing, an elder of Kunlun Sect, Guo Yu of Emei Sect, Master Huikong and Master Kongwu of Shaolin Sect, Heavenly Master Zhao Yiwu of Longhu Mountain, Gu Song of Diancang Sect, and Hu Fei of Kongtong Sect…
“Sect Leader Zhong, we cannot tolerate this any longer!”
Shi Yizhen, with a grim old face, said to Zhong Yulong, “Wan Yunting, relying on the Ouyang family, has repeatedly opposed us major sects. He is now an evil heretic, and we must publicly denounce him!”
“Sect Leader Shi is right. Wan Yunting is becoming more and more arrogant and no longer takes us major sects seriously!”
Hu Fei agreed, pointing to the ward and said sternly, “Look at what he has done to everyone’s disciples. With such heinous behavior, are we going to do nothing?”
“Yes, we must publicly condemn his rampant and wicked actions!”
Gu Song said with a stern old face, in a scolding tone, and let out a cold snort.
Masters Huikong and Kongwu, standing beside them, exchanged glances and couldn’t help but raise their eyebrows with worried eyes.
After all, the current Wan Yunting was no longer the Wan Yunting of the past, who had no backing from the Ouyang family.
Now, with the support of the Ouyang family, coupled with Wan Yunting’s immense personal influence and high public reputation, he was simply not someone the major sects could deal with.
However, this time Wan Yunting had crippled the dantian of the young disciples of the major sects, and even turned Liu Zaiyi, son of Liu Bing, the Sect Leader of Qingcheng Sect, along with Qi Xiu and Chen Beixuan, into idiotic wrecks. Such actions had indeed enraged the major sects.
Therefore, Wu Chi of Shaolin Sect, who had escaped the disaster, and Zhou Yizhen of Longhu Mountain, whose sect members were present, dared not say anything at this time.
“Damn Wan Yunting, I’m going to kill him…!”
At this moment, Liu Bing, with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious expression, rushed out shouting and went to kill Wan Yunting himself…
“Sect Leader Liu, Sect Leader Liu, please calm down…”
Everyone rushed to stop Liu Bing and Chen Jing, the Great Elder of Huashan Sect. Xu Yuxin and Yang Xuan, along with Chong Ling’er, also came out and looked at their master, Zhong Yulong, saying with choked sobs, “Master, Second Senior Brother has become an idiot, boohoo…”
“Sect Leader Zhong!”
Guo Yu shouted, angered, “Wan Yunting has even crippled your disciples. Are you still going to tolerate him?”
“Sect Leader Zhong, if your Wudang Sect dares not stand up against Wan Yunting, then our Qingcheng Sect will!”
At this time, Liu Bing was consumed by anger and had completely lost his reason. He only wanted to seek justice for his son.
“I, Chen Jing, swear to kill Wan Yunting!”
Chen Jing’s eyes blazed, suppressing the anger in his heart, and he spat out every word through gritted teeth.
“Sect Leader Zhong…!”
The eyes of the sect leaders of other sects present were all focused on Zhong Yulong, prompting him to make a decision to unite and confront Wan Yunting.
Unable to bear the pressure from everyone, Zhong Yulong looked up, his gaze sweeping across the crowd with a thoughtful expression, and nodded, saying, “Let’s write a joint denunciation letter in the name of our martial arts world and submit it!”
“Good. Let the higher authorities step in. I don’t believe Wan Yunting can remain so arrogant forever!”
The representatives of the major sects present nodded one after another, thinking this was a good idea.
“Do you know where Wan Yunting is now?” Zhong Yulong then asked Wu Chi of Shaolin Sect.
He shook his head and said, “I met him in the mountains yesterday. After injuring us, he drove away. He also said that if we want to cure Senior Brother Liu and the others, we should look for him!”
“What do you mean?”
Liu Bing and Chen Jing’s eyes immediately widened, and they stared intently at Wu Chi, asking, “You mean Wan Yunting deliberately targeted my son? And he can cure my son?”
“Yes.”
Wu Chi and Zhou Yizhen nodded. Wan Yunting’s words when he left yesterday were very clear.
“Damn Wan Yunting, I don’t believe that in this world, his medical skills are the highest!”
Liu Bing’s face was contorted with ferocity. He knew that Wan Yunting was doing this to his son to force him to beg him.
But Liu Bing refused. He wanted to find some reclusive old Chinese physicians in the mountains to treat his son first. If they could return his son to his normal self, then Liu Bing would inevitably fight Wan Yunting to the end, and would never compromise!
After parting ways with the major sects, Xian Yun accompanied his master Zhong Yulong back to their hotel room next door. He said, “Master, even if we jointly write a denunciation letter, I’m afraid it won’t have much of an impact on Wan Yunting!”
“Yes, I know.”
Zhong Yulong sat down, nodded, and sighed, saying, “With Wan Yunting’s current influence, even if all of us major sects unite and use public opinion against him, we definitely won’t be able to defeat him.”
Xian Yun nodded and said, “Wan Yunting’s influence is immense now. If he casually makes a statement online that denigrates our Wudang Sect, it could cause fatal damage and losses to our Wudang Sect!”
“Master, I personally suggest that we should avoid openly falling out with Wan Yunting and think of other ways!”
“Other ways?”
Zhong Yulong turned his head and glanced sideways at Xian Yun, his eyes narrowing slightly as he asked, “What other ways are you talking about?”
Xian Yun smiled. Although he appeared amiable, a sharp glint emanated from his eyes, and he said, “We sought out Zhou Ruoxi for the whereabouts of the Demon Sect’s Demon Pool.”
“And Wan Yunting clearly cares most about Zhou Ruoxi. We can make some trouble for her!”
Hearing his suggestion, Zhong Yulong pondered for a few seconds, then nodded and said, “Send other disciples to continue investigating secretly. Wan Yunting must have hidden Zhou Ruoxi in the Kunlun Mountains!”
Xian Yun smiled and said, “Master, I already have news!”
“Oh, where?”
Zhong Yulong’s old eyes lit up. Xian Yun said, “Earlier, our Wudang Sect disciples inquired with local villagers in a place called Kunshan Village and found out that several strangers have been living in a hunter’s cabin in the mountain behind their village.”
“So I guess this is where Wan Yunting has placed Zhou Ruoxi for her hiding place!”
“Good, very good.”
Zhong Yulong’s old face broke into a smile, his eyes revealing a sharp glint. “Let everyone hold back for now. Wan Yunting is probably with Zhou Ruoxi. When he returns to the capital, we will go find Zhou Ruoxi and see if she knows the whereabouts of the Demon Sect’s Demon Pool!”
Xian Yun nodded and smiled, “Okay Master, I know how to arrange it.”
Zhong Yulong’s heart felt less heavy. He let out a sigh and said, “Next, we need to find an opportunity to sit down and talk openly with Wan Yunting…”
