As Zhao Yi Wu and Lu Xiu returned with Xian Yun and Xu Gu Zi and others, the news that the main god was killed by Wan Yun Ting quickly spread, shocking the martial arts world.
However, the tragic deaths of Zhong Yu Long and Abbot Ren Xin and other major sect leaders also caused a brief period of chaos in the martial arts world. Some even rumored that Wan Yun Ting would become the number one president of the martial arts world.
"Phew, finally out...!"
At this moment, Wan Yun Ting, carrying the devil sword, finally walked out of Gong Ge Er mountain peak with Zhou Ruo Xi, Chen Qiu Yun, and Jin Yu Shi Tai.
Immediately, Wan Yun Ting asked Chen Qiu Yun and Jin Yu Shi Tai, "Sister Qiu Yun, what are your plans from now on?"
They had stayed in the devil mountain for two days, and Wan Yun Ting had helped them circulate their energy and heal their wounds. They had basically recovered now.
Chen Qiu Yun, dressed in simple robes, with her naturally charming bone structure and a peerless beautiful face, smiled slightly, making mortal men unable to resist her enchanting smile. She exchanged a glance with Jin Yu Shi Tai and said with a smile, "Jin Yu and I have agreed that from now on, we will settle in the wooden house behind Kunshan Village and live a self-sufficient and peaceful life."
Wan Yun Ting looked at her and Jin Yu Shi Tai. From their first meeting, they had developed a feeling of cherishing each other and regretting not meeting sooner. They had always yearned for such a peaceful life, so Wan Yun Ting supported them.
"Ruo Xi, what about you?" He then asked Zhou Ruo Xi.
"Of course, I'm going with Aunt Jin Yu," Zhou Ruo Xi said with a smile.
Wan Yun Ting's expression faltered, unable to hide his disappointment. Zhou Ruo Xi saw his thoughts and couldn't help but hold his arm and laugh, "What, you want me to go back to the capital with you?"
Wan Yun Ting nodded repeatedly but then smiled, "However, I respect your choice."
Zhou Ruo Xi smiled gently, "Actually, this is quite good. If you miss us, just come and see us."
Wan Yun Ting looked at her, then at Chen Qiu Yun and Jin Yu Shi Tai, who were smiling, and nodded, "Okay..."
The four first returned to the farmer's house where they had temporarily stayed for one night. The next morning, they set off for Su Ke Er, to President Ba Ha Er's house.
"Chairman Wan, you're back..."
Gu Li, dressed in traditional Xinjiang attire, with her tall stature, graceful figure, and beautiful face, greeted Wan Yun Ting with surprise when she saw him appear at the doorstep. "You've been to Gong Ge Er mountain peak for a long time, did you find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus?"
"No."
Wan Yun Ting smiled and shook his head. Gu Li smiled, "It seems Chairman Wan's luck isn't good either. But it doesn't matter, when there's a chance next year, I'll personally look for it. If I find the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus, I'll send it to you."
"Mm, thank you..."
Wan Yun Ting nodded with a smile. Gu Li also looked at Zhou Ruo Xi, Chen Qiu Yun, and Jin Yu Shi Tai who were following him. However, since Wan Yun Ting didn't introduce them, Gu Li didn't ask much.
"Where is your father?"
"Oh, my dad went out on business."
Wan Yun Ting nodded and said, "I came to say hello. I have to rush back to the capital."
Upon hearing that he was returning to the capital now, Gu Li said, "Aren't you staying a few more days?"
Wan Yun Ting waved his hand and smiled, "I've been delayed for too long. It's time to go back."
"Alright."
Gu Li felt a little disappointed. Zhou Ruo Xi, by Wan Yun Ting's side, saw this and couldn't help but sigh at the fickleness of men, who seemed to leave a trail of affection everywhere...
Around six o'clock in the evening, Wan Yun Ting, accompanied by Zhou Ruo Xi, Chen Qiu Yun, and Jin Yu Shi Tai, took a plane. They first sent them back to Wuliang Mountain and then returned to the capital...
By noon the next day, Wan Yun Ting and his companions arrived at Bu Xi Da county town. Naturally, Li Zi Hang drove to pick them up and take them back. In the afternoon, they returned to Wuliang Mountain and arrived at the gate of the Wuliang Taoist temple.
"Yun Ting, you're finally back..."
The Abbot Wu Wei Zi, Yang Jing Yi, and Chang Wu De, who had received the news long ago, were already waiting at the main gate of the Taoist temple. Seeing Wan Yun Ting return with Zhou Ruo Xi, Chen Qiu Yun, and Jin Yu Shi Tai, Duan Ying Ying, Xu Ling Wei, and Senior Brother Qi Wu rushed to meet them.
"Uncle Wu Wei, Aunt, Grandpa Chang..."
Wan Yun Ting first greeted them, then pointed to Jin Yu Shi Tai beside him. Wu Wei Zi and Yang Jing Yi also greeted them and then smiled, "It's cold outside. Let's chat more when we get back..."
So, the group first took Wan Yun Ting and Zhou Ruo Xi to the cafeteria for a quick meal. Chang Wu De couldn't wait any longer and asked, "Kid, quickly tell us some details about the Glacier Battle at Gong Ge Er mountain peak, and did you really kill the main god of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult?"
"Yes, Brother Yun Ting..."
Duan Ying Ying leaned against Wan Yun Ting and said excitedly, "Now all the major sects in the martial arts world are in an uproar. It is said that the leaders of the major sects were basically buried in the former site of the devil cult. Is this true?"
Looking at Wu Wei Zi, Yang Jing Yi, Chang Wu De, Duan Ying Ying, and Xu Ling Wei, who were all staring at him with eager eyes, wanting confirmation, Wan Yun Ting knew that the events of the Glacier Battle at Gong Ge Er mountain peak and the encounters of the major sects in the devil mountain had already spread throughout the entire Chinese martial arts world.
Even ordinary people knew about it, as too many people died in that battle. The authorities had dispatched many people to clean up the battlefield and suppress the news...
Even Wan Yun Ting had received a call from the authorities, asking him to conduct a detailed investigation after returning to the capital.
"Yes, it's almost all true." Wan Yun Ting nodded and said.
This made Wu Wei Zi, Chang Wu De, Yang Jing Yi, and Qi Wu's eyes widen, and they were greatly shocked.
Now, the major sects were in disarray, without leaders.
Zhong Yu Long, the president of the martial arts world, died tragically in the battle against the main god of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult. The remaining half of his body was brought back by Xian Yun and Xu Gu Zi, almost causing great chaos in the entire Wudang Sect.
Fortunately, Xu Gu Zi and Xian Yun and others stabilized the disciples within the sect. However, they claimed that the sect leader died fighting the main god and did not reveal Zhong Yu Long's despicable actions in the devil pool.
In short, the deaths of Zhong Yu Long and Shi Yi Zhen and other sect leaders were publicized as having occurred while fighting the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult, thus becoming righteous figures!
"So that's how it was..."
After hearing Wan Yun Ting's detailed explanation of the entire incident, Chang Wu De, Wu Wei Zi, and others finally understood what had happened.
When Wan Yun Ting heard that the martial arts world was now promoting the deaths of Zhong Yu Long and Liu Bing as having occurred for the sake of righteousness, he couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head, saying, "But it doesn't matter. After this battle, the major sects have almost suffered heavy losses. It will probably not be easy for them to recover."
Wu Wei Zi and the others nodded, then raised their eyebrows and asked, "Did the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain not join forces with the major sects?"
Zhou Ruo Xi shook her head and said, "No. Later, Heavenly Master Zhao and Heavenly Master Lu appeared and helped Yun Ting fight against the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult. They did not join forces with the major sects!"
"Why is that?"
Immediately, everyone present turned their gazes to Wan Yun Ting, which greatly piqued their curiosity.
Wan Yun Ting smiled and said, "Naturally, it's because of the Old Heavenly Master!"
Then he recounted some of the events leading up to the Old Heavenly Master's death. Wu Wei Zi and Yang Jing Yi and the others finally understood why Longhu Mountain had not joined forces with the major sects to seize the devil pool.
"So that's how it is..."
Everyone couldn't help but nod and sigh, realizing that the Old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain had foresight.
"In that case, you kid obtained the mysterious power from the devil pool to kill the main god of the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult."
Chang Wu De sized up Wan Yun Ting, secretly astonished that he could not sense the martial arts realm of this young man.
This meant that Wan Yun Ting's current martial arts realm had far surpassed theirs, which was why they could not sense it.
Wan Yun Ting smiled and nodded. Duan Ying Ying, standing beside him, said excitedly, "So you are the number one in the world now?"
Yang Jing Yi, Wu Wei Zi, Xu Ling Wei, and the others looked at Wan Yun Ting. Since he could kill the main god, he was naturally the number one in the martial arts world today.
At this moment, Wu Wei Zi's phone rang. Upon answering and learning the identity of the caller, he exclaimed, "Sect Leader Zhang...!"
Wan Yun Ting and the others knew it was Zhang Xuan Liang, the sect leader of Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master's Mansion, calling. After exchanging pleasantries, Wu Wei Zi said, "Yes, Yun Ting and the others have returned to our Wuliang Taoist temple. Oh, okay, I'll tell him now. Alright, then our Wuliang Taoist temple will await your arrival..."
After Wu Wei Zi hung up the phone, Yang Jing Yi raised her eyebrows and asked, "Sect Leader Zhang is coming to see Yun Ting?"
"Yes."
Wu Wei Zi nodded and said, "Sect Leader Zhang and representatives from other sects will arrive at our Wuliang Taoist temple tomorrow, and their purpose is to see you, Yun Ting!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruo Xi and Chen Qiu Yun raised their eyebrows, and Duan Ying Ying widened her eyes and snorted, "What else do they want?"
Wan Yun Ting waved his hand to her, telling her to calm down, and smiled, "Sect Leader Zhang is probably coming to discuss matters with me. Alright, then I'll stay for a couple more days and see what happens when they come..."
