"Ruoxi..."
Wan Yunting came to the spot where Zhou Ruoxi had been, then looked up at the tree, and called out softly, "They are not around, you can come down quickly..."
Only then did Zhou Ruoxi jump down. Without a word, she threw herself directly into Wan Yunting's arms, holding him tightly. Overcome with emotion, she said nothing, only wanting to hold the man like this...
Wan Yunting also hugged her, gently comforting her, "Are you alright?"
"Mhm, I'm fine..."
Zhou Ruoxi's cheek rested on Wan Yunting's shoulder, her autumn eyes filled with affection as she looked at the man and asked, "Did Ting Xia tell you to come?"
"Otherwise?"
Wan Yunting looked down at her, his hand couldn't help but pinch Zhou Ruoxi's fair and smooth cheek, and he gently chided, "Such a big thing happened, if Junior Sister Jiang hadn't called me, were you not going to tell me and bear it all alone?"
Pampered by the man, Zhou Ruoxi was happy, like a little girl. She shyly said, "I just didn't want to cause you trouble..."
"Tsk, it seems you don't take me seriously."
Wan Yunting pulled her away, deliberately putting on a displeased face.
"How could I..."
Seeing him angry, Zhou Ruoxi tugged at his arm, lowering her head, at a loss.
Wan Yunting couldn't bear to see her like this. He couldn't help but tenderly cup Zhou Ruoxi's pretty face with both hands and said seriously, "From now on, no matter what happens, if you can't solve it, you must tell me, understand?"
Facing the man's worried gaze, Zhou Ruoxi's autumn eyes were misty. She obediently nodded her small head, and then couldn't help but throw herself into Wan Yunting's arms, laughing, "Yunting, thank you..."
Wan Yunting stroked her beautiful hair with his large hand and laughed, "Silly girl, why are you thanking me..."
Zhou Ruoxi smiled sweetly. At this moment, she was like a girl in love, wanting to stay in the man's arms and not think about anything...
"By the way, I heard from Junior Sister Jiang that the leader of that Demonic Cult is your biological mother?" Wan Yunting looked down at her and asked.
Zhou Ruoxi left his warm embrace, her willow-like brows slightly raised, and she nodded.
Wan Yunting looked at her in surprise and asked, "Can you be sure?"
"Mhm."
Zhou Ruoxi nodded and said, "She knew my Master. It was she who handed me over to my Master to raise."
"I didn't expect you to have such a background..."
Wan Yunting reached out and brushed Zhou Ruoxi's slightly messy hair, teasing her with a smile, "It seems like you, like me, have become an enemy of all the major sects."
Zhou Ruoxi looked at him with misty autumn eyes and smiled indifferently, "Anyway, I've long been tired of the deceit and treachery of the major sects. If it weren't for Emei Sect, I wouldn't have held on until now."
"Heh heh, but it's all good now. I've become a sinner who betrayed Emei Sect, and also the biological daughter of the Demonic Cult leader. Now the entire Emei Sect cannot accommodate me anymore."
"It's okay."
Wan Yunting held Zhou Ruoxi's shoulders with both hands and comforted her with a smile, "You still have me. As long as I, Wan Yunting, am here, no one will be able to harm you."
Looking at the man's firm and sincere gaze, Zhou Ruoxi felt warm inside, and nodded with a sweet smile...
"By the way, why are you alone?"
Then Wan Yunting asked again, "Didn't Junior Sister Jiang say you left with your mother? Where is she?"
"She is in a safe place. I came out to meet you," Zhou Ruoxi said.
Then Wan Yunting heard footsteps from behind and said, "Take me to see your mother first, and then let's think of a way to leave Emei Sect together."
"Okay, this way..."
Zhou Ruoxi nodded and led Wan Yunting back towards the hunting pit...
"Master, Master, that Wan Yunting made a move...!"
Yang Fei, holding his left arm crippled by Wan Yunting, was supported by two junior brothers, and met Guo Yu, who was leading Zhong Yulong and Liu Bing, along with people from the two major sects...
"What, Wan Yunting dared to injure someone?"
Guo Yu looked at his disciple Yang Fei's severed left arm and couldn't help but curse angrily, "This is too much! That Wan Yunting is simply bullying us! He dared to injure our disciple within Emei Sect. What does he think Emei Sect is?"
"Sect Leader Zhong, Sect Leader Liu, you've seen it too."
Saying this, Guo Yu grabbed Yang Fei and turned to let Zhong Yulong and Liu Bing's factions see. His eyes glared, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You must stand up for Emei Sect. You absolutely cannot let that Wan Yunting act so presumptuously within Emei Sect."
"His behavior like this is simply not putting our major sects in his eyes."
Liu Zaiyi nodded and turned to say, "Sect Leader Zhong, this Wan Yunting is so arrogant and domineering, he must be taught a lesson!"
"Shut up, what right do you have to speak?"
Liu Bing turned and glared at his thoughtless son. Then he frowned and waved at Guo Yu, "Elder Guo, please calm down. Wan Yunting came to Emei Sect, naturally, it is for your Sect Leader Zhou..."
"Sect Leader Liu, she, Zhou Ruoxi, is no longer the Sect Leader of Emei Sect!"
Guo Yu emphasized this point and said sternly, "Currently, Emei Sect is temporarily managed by me."
"Alright."
Liu Bing nodded indifferently and said, "However, if we encounter Wan Yunting later, I hope you can restrain your emotions and not get into conflict with him. We advocate resolving this matter with Wan Yunting peacefully!"
These words made Guo Yu's eyes widen, and he said anxiously, "Sect Leader Liu, even if Wan Yunting is from the Ouyang family in the capital, and his influence is currently significant, you shouldn't fear him to this extent, right?"
"Moreover, he was the one who attacked our Emei Sect disciples first. Are you telling me to tolerate it?"
Liu Bing waved his hand at him and said, "Elder Guo, let me remind you of one thing first. Putting aside the fact that Wan Yunting is from the Ouyang family in the capital, based on his current influence throughout Huaxia, your Emei Sect really cannot touch him!"
"Let alone you, even all of us major sects cannot easily provoke conflict with him and escalate the situation."
"Otherwise, the biggest loss will be ours!"
These words made Guo Yu, as well as the Emei Sect disciples present, look extremely embarrassed. Although they knew that Wan Yunting's influence was currently great, they did not expect the major sects to fear him to this extent!
However, Guo Yu understood in his heart that this Liu Bing was a very pragmatic person. It wasn't that the major sects dared not do anything to Wan Yunting, but they felt it was unnecessary to completely sour their relationship with Wan Yunting for the sake of an Emei Sect!
After all, offending someone like Wan Yunting would only bring disadvantages to the major sects, and no benefits!
To put it bluntly, Liu Bing was actually happy to learn that Wan Yunting had appeared at Emei Sect this time!
"Elder Guo, please take the injured disciple down for treatment first," Zhong Yulong said. His old face was calm, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
However, it was obvious that, like Liu Bing, he would not easily offend Wan Yunting for the sake of Emei Sect.
"Hmph."
Guo Yu understood this point in his heart, but what else could he feel besides anger and unwillingness?
Since the death of Abbess Fengling and the incident with the Grand Elder, and with Zhou Ruoxi becoming the Sect Leader, Emei Sect's position among the major sects had already lost its presence.
Now that Zhou Ruoxi was the biological daughter of the Demonic Cult Leader Yin Baisu, and such a bombshell had exploded from Emei Sect, their reputation and status among the major sects would become even weaker in the future.
"Alright Elder Guo, don't be angry. Let's find Wan Yunting first." Liu Bing stepped forward, patted Guo Yu's shoulder, and said with a smile to appease him, "After all, you are now the only elder who can give orders in Emei Sect. You should consider how your sect should develop in the future, rather than just thinking about immediate revenge and losing future benefits. Am I right?"
Hearing these words, Guo Yu looked deeply at the cunning Liu Bing. He had to admit that these people would compromise on anything for their own interests.
"Let's go, let's find Wan Yunting first..." Zhong Yulong said, and began to instruct his disciples to search the mountain for Wan Yunting, Zhou Ruoxi, and the Demonic Cult Leader Yin Baisu...
At this moment, Wan Yunting followed Zhou Ruoxi back to the abandoned hunting pit. The two of them jumped directly down. Wan Yunting took out his phone, turned on the flashlight, and looked at Yin Baisu, the Demonic Cult Leader, who had been waiting below, and couldn't help but size her up...
"He is Wan Yunting!"
Zhou Ruoxi introduced Wan Yunting to Yin Baisu.
Yin Baisu's phoenix eyes were also sizing up Wan Yunting, and she nodded with a smile, "I've long heard of Pavilion Master Wan's deeds. Meeting you today, your demeanor is indeed extraordinary."
Wan Yunting also nodded and smiled at her politely, saying, "I didn't expect the leader of the Demonic Cult to be a woman. Of course, I'm not looking down on women, I just feel it's a bit different from what I imagined."
"Heh heh..."
Yin Baisu laughed, understanding his meaning, and said, "You think that the leader of our Demonic Cult, this evil path, must be a fierce and evil person, right?"
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled, "Something like that. Just like the Divine Lord of the Heavenly Eye Divine Religion I met before, he wore a mask and dared not show himself, but he was fierce and ruthless, and could do anything."
Yin Baisu laughed, "I haven't met the Divine Lord of the Heavenly Eye Divine Religion, but I've heard that their Divine Religion is now developing in Country H, and their power is very great."
"As for our Demonic Cult, after being besieged by all the major sects back then, only a few loyal disciples survived in Shu. As the daughter of the previous generation's leader, I naturally inherited the position of leader, and I also want to develop the Demonic Cult."
"Heh heh, but it's a pity that society is no longer the same as before. Who would believe in any Demonic Cult nowadays and be willing to become a member of the Demonic Cult?"
Wan Yunting nodded. Huaxia is no longer a place suitable for them, these evil path sects, to survive.
Therefore, those evil sects that originally originated from Huaxia have gone abroad to develop.
"Then how many people are left in your Demonic Cult now?" Wan Yunting asked.
Yin Baisu glanced at Zhou Ruoxi and shook her head with a wry smile, "In mid-last month, the major sects found the headquarters of our Demonic Cult in Shu. Those who were killed were killed, and those who were captured were captured. There weren't many who managed to escape."
"Now, except for my god-daughter Liu Qianqian, who has some influence in Qinghai, our Demonic Cult has basically been wiped out."
Wan Yunting and Zhou Ruoxi exchanged a glance, and couldn't help but sigh at the fall of a generation's Demonic Cult, ending up in such a sorry state.
It should be known that in ancient times, a hundred years ago, when the Demonic Cult was glorious, it had once unified all the evil sects in Huaxia, confronting the major orthodox sects. Its influence was so great that it could even suppress the major sects, and its leader was invincible.
However, as times changed, whether it was the imperial court or the common people, they suppressed the Demonic Cult by various means. After the death of that generation's leader, the Demonic Cult began its decline.
"Then, after leaving Emei Sect, are you going to Qinghai?" Wan Yunting asked.
"Mhm, we have that plan," Yin Baisu nodded.
Wan Yunting looked at Zhou Ruoxi and said, "Let's go to Qinghai first and meet up with her god-daughter."
"Okay, then we'll leave Emei Sect now. I'll accompany you to Qinghai." Wan Yunting nodded. For Zhou Ruoxi, this was nothing.
Upon hearing this, Yin Baisu looked at her daughter. It could be seen from this that Wan Yunting was truly sincere towards her daughter.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to Emei Sect overnight to help...
