Ding-ding-dang-dang…
Ah…
All the disciples of the Emei Sect, under the command of Elder Guo Yu, were continuously rushing towards this location…
And Zhou Ruoxi, holding the Sect Leader’s sword, her white robes and skirt dancing, her dark hair accompanying her graceful posture, was so sharp and imposing…
At this moment, her expression was solemn, her phoenix eyes sharp, and the Sect Leader’s sword in her hand continuously swung, clashing with the swords of her senior sisters, junior sisters, senior brothers, and junior brothers who were attacking her. The night flickered with starlight, and the sound of metal striking metal continuously echoed in her ears…
On the side, Yin Baisu, the leader of the Demonic Cult, wielding two mandarin duck knives, was also fighting the attacking Emei Sect disciples…
Although these Emei Sect disciples were not strong, they had the advantage in numbers. Yet, despite this, many had been injured by Zhou Ruoxi and were lying on the ground. However, she did not kill them, only injuring them with the edge of her sword to incapacitate them.
“Hurry up and go!”
Zhou Ruoxi’s willow-like eyebrows furrowed, and she turned to shout at Yin Baisu beside her.
Knowing that they were outnumbered and would be captured if they continued to fight,
They had agreed on a retreat route when they came out, and they could not afford to linger in battle.
Yin Baisu nodded to Zhou Ruoxi, kicked a disciple away, and then turned to flee towards the back mountain…
“We can’t let the Demonic Cult leader escape!”
Guo Yu, seeing this, shouted and personally drew his sword to pursue…
But then Zhou Ruoxi leaped out, blocking Guo Yu, and engaged him in combat…
“Martial Uncle Yunbai…”
Jiang Tingxia, standing nearby, looked extremely anxious.
Abbess Yunbai, with a dark expression, stared at Zhou Ruoxi fighting Guo Yu, feeling a mix of disappointment and anger. However, seeing the Demonic Cult leader Yin Baisu attempting to escape, Abbess Yunbai personally drew her long sword, swiftly pursued, and shouted, “Stop, you will not escape…”
Yin Baisu fought the pursuing Emei Sect disciples as she fled, but upon seeing Abbess Yunbai swiftly charging at her with a sword thrust, Yin Baisu’s expression changed. She immediately flipped and narrowly dodged Abbess Yunbai’s attack…
Clang!
Abbess Yunbai’s swordsmanship was superb. She leaped, channeling her internal energy into her long sword, and attacked Yin Baisu from an awkward angle, raising her sword to strike…
Bang!
A burst of sword energy hit the floor, lifting two stone slabs that exploded. Although Yin Baisu evaded the fatal blow, a stone slab still struck her abdomen, sending her flying backward…
“Ugh…”
Yin Baisu immediately clutched her stomach and coughed up a mouthful of blood. Her originally pale face turned even paler…
“Get out of the way…”
On the other side, Zhou Ruoxi, seeing this, became anxious and directly unleashed a peerless sword technique of the Carefree Sect, pushing Elder Guo Yu back…
“Hmm, what sword technique is this?”
Guo Yu retreated repeatedly, his eyes widened as he watched Zhou Ruoxi turn to help Yin Baisu against Abbess Yunbai, making him confused.
“Master, she is not using any Emei Sect sword techniques at all!”
Guo Yu’s disciple came over and immediately said.
“Hmph, it seems the rumors are true. When Zhou Ruoxi was in the Kunlun Sect, during the time she and Wan Yunting went missing in Kunlun, they must have discovered the legacy of the Carefree Sect’s martial arts together!”
Guo Yu’s eyes narrowed. Watching Zhou Ruoxi fighting Abbess Yunbai in the distance, he sneered, “I never thought she had been hiding it so deeply!”
The disciple sneered, “Master, no matter what, Zhou Ruoxi can no longer be our Emei Sect Leader!”
“Haha, everyone, attack quickly. We must capture them and hand them over to the Martial Arts Association. Otherwise, our Emei Sect will not be able to face the various sects. Attack…”
Guo Yu shouted, leading his disciples to charge again…
Crack!
Zhou Ruoxi clashed palm to palm with Abbess Yunbai, actually forcing her to retreat repeatedly. Abbess Yunbai’s eyes widened as she looked at Zhou Ruoxi in surprise, “Carefree Sect’s White Rainbow Palm, Ruoxi you…?”
Zhou Ruoxi stood in front of Yin Baisu. Her pretty face was cold, her beautiful eyes fixed on Abbess Yunbai, and she pleaded, “Martial Uncle, please let us go.”
Looking at Zhou Ruoxi’s pleading gaze, Abbess Yunbai’s heart softened.
“Martial Sister Yunbai, absolutely do not let them go…!”
Guo Yu, who had arrived, pointed his sword at Zhou Ruoxi and Yin Baisu, and said sternly, “A leader of the Demonic Cult, and you, Zhou Ruoxi, so you have been colluding with that Wan Yunting all along, and even learned the techniques of the Carefree Sect!”
“As the Sect Leader of our righteous Emei Sect, you practice evil and unorthodox techniques. Don’t you think that by doing so, you have violated the principles of righteousness?”
“Righteousness?”
Hearing this, Zhou Ruoxi’s eyes went cold as she stared at Guo Yu, gritting her teeth, and said coldly, “What is righteousness? Is it the hypocritical righteousness you always preach? Is there anything wrong with me learning the techniques of the Carefree Sect? Have I ever bullied the weak or harmed anyone with these techniques?”
“Ruoxi, shut your mouth!”
Abbess Yunbai said urgently, “If you surrender, I can plead with the major sects of the martial world to show you leniency, considering your contributions to our Emei Sect.”
“Martial Uncle, I can’t turn back!”
Zhou Ruoxi shifted her gaze to Abbess Yunbai, her eyes firm, and she bit her lip, shaking her head and saying, “She is my mother, and I have also learned the techniques of the Carefree Sect. How can those so-called righteous sects, who stand on the moral high ground, show us any leniency?”
“Hmph, Zhou Ruoxi, you are still lucid.” Guo Yu sneered.
Abbess Yunbai glared at him, then said to Zhou Ruoxi, “Even so, you should surrender and not struggle in vain. Martial Uncle can guarantee that nothing will happen to you.”
“Martial Sister, you are sheltering this traitor!”
Guo Yu turned and grumbled at Abbess Yunbai, “Tonight, we must capture her and the Demonic Cult leader and hand them over to the major sects for judgment.”
“Otherwise, the people of the major sects will think that our Emei Sect does not uphold righteousness!”
“Therefore, she, Zhou Ruoxi, must die!”
“Junior Brother Guo, she is your senior sister’s only disciple. Are you that cold-blooded and heartless?” Abbess Yunbai said emotionally, angrily towards Guo Yu.
“Hmph, I am cold-blooded and heartless?”
Guo Yu sneered, pointing his sword at Zhou Ruoxi ahead, and said angrily, “She betrayed our Emei Sect first. Regardless of right or wrong, she chose the wrong path herself, so she should pay the price for her actions. Who can she blame?”
“That’s right, my master is right. Zhou Ruoxi must die to prove ourselves to the major sects for our Emei Sect!” Guo Yu’s disciple shouted loudly.
Immediately, the surrounding disciples nodded, and they all stared at Zhou Ruoxi with cold eyes…
“Heh heh… haha…”
Facing the indifferent stares of the junior and senior disciples who usually called her Sect Leader Sister, Zhou Ruoxi first sneered, then burst into wild laughter, saying, “Yun Ting was right. What righteous sects? They are all just evil people who stand on the moral high ground for their own selfish desires!”
Behind her, Yin Baisu frowned, her phoenix eyes worriedly looking at her daughter, knowing who Yun Ting she was referring to…
“Enough nonsense, all disciples follow me and take them down…!”
Guo Yu shouted, and the hundreds of Emei Sect disciples surrounding them, holding their long swords, once again attacked Zhou Ruoxi and Yin Baisu…
“Go…”
Zhou Ruoxi turned, grabbed Yin Baisu’s arm, and they plunged into the dark back mountain forest…
“Chase, don’t let them run…”
Guo Yu led a group of disciples in hot pursuit, while Zhou Ruoxi did not engage them, leading Yin Baisu to keep running…
In the dark forest of the back mountain, flashlight beams could be seen flickering, and the shouts of disciples could be heard, creating quite a scene…
Abbess Yunbai sat dejectedly on a rock, looking at everything with a complex gaze. She knew that Zhou Ruoxi’s great tribulation this time would likely be difficult to overcome…
Around two in the morning, at the foot of Emei Mountain, several cars sped over and braked in front of Jiang Tingxia. Wan Yunting got out of the car and rushed towards Jiang Tingxia, asking, “What’s the situation now?”
“I don’t know…”
Jiang Tingxia, meeting Wan Yunting, looked extremely anxious and led him up the mountain, shaking her head and saying, “I just received a call from a senior sister who said Elder Guo and the others are chasing my senior sister and them in the back mountain.”
“Them?”
Wan Yunting frowned and asked, “Who else is with Ruoxi?”
“It’s the leader of the Demonic Cult, Yin Baisu!”
Jiang Tingxia said as they walked, “Also, my senior sister said that the Demonic Cult leader is her birth mother!”
“What?”
Upon hearing this news, Wan Yunting stopped in his tracks, his eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at Jiang Tingxia. She also stopped and said, “We were very shocked when we heard her say this, so Elder Guo and the others want to capture my senior sister and the Demonic Cult leader and hand them over to the major sects for judgment!”
Wan Yunting continued to walk up the mountain quickly with Jiang Tingxia, but he was extremely shocked at this moment.
He never imagined that Zhou Ruoxi’s birth mother would be the leader of the Demonic Cult…
