“Heh, Sect Leader Liu is generous.”
Watching Liu Zaiyi, whose shoulders were pinned down by his father Liu Bing, kneel on the ground, the young man’s face was filled with fierce anger, his eyes fixed on Ji Jiang, gritting his teeth in defiance.
Wan Yunting chuckled, making Liu Bing lose face in front of the other major sects and apologize to him. This was considered settling the score for the Emei Sect.
“Alright, you can get up now.”
Wan Yunting waved his hand with a smile, then turned and entered his home…
“Wan Yunting, isn’t it time for you to hand over the Snow Mountain Sect’s martial arts manuals to us?” Guo Yu immediately shouted upon seeing this.
Wan Yunting stopped in his tracks, turning his head and glaring at Guo Yu with sinister eyes. It was Guo Yu who had led the charge to hunt down Zhou Ruoxi all over the mountain at the Emei Sect.
“What, are you that impatient?” Wan Yunting said coldly to Guo Yu.
Guo Yu’s expression faltered. Facing Wan Yunting’s overwhelmingly dominant gaze, which felt like two sharp swords piercing his heart, he involuntarily deflated and said, “Sect Leader Liu’s son has already knelt and apologized to you, so you should fulfill your promise and hand over the Snow Mountain Sect’s martial arts manuals to our major sects.”
“Even if it’s to the Martial Arts Association, it won’t be to you!”
Wan Yunting turned and snorted coldly at Guo Yu, then called out to Xu Guzi of the Wudang Sect, Master Huikong, and Heavenly Master Zhao Yiwu of Longhu Mountain, “Esteemed sirs, I will give you the Snow Mountain Sect’s martial arts manuals later, but I have one condition!”
This statement made the people from the major sects exchange glances. Hu Fei asked, “Sect Master Wan, please state it.”
Then Wan Yunting pointed at Guo Yu and said to everyone, “My condition is that the Snow Mountain Sect’s martial arts manuals are forbidden for Emei Sect disciples to learn!”
“What? Wan Yunting, on what grounds are you forbidding our Emei Sect disciples from learning?” Guo Yu’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and he questioned angrily.
“I can’t stand you, is that acceptable?” Wan Yunting’s sharp eyes met his directly, he said arrogantly.
“You…”
Guo Yu’s face turned red with anger, and his whole body trembled, but he dared not do anything to Wan Yunting.
“Esteemed sirs, this condition is not excessive, is it?”
Wan Yunting looked at Xu Guzi, Master Huikong, and the others, saying with a light laugh.
“Master Huikong, Elder Xu…”
Guo Yu turned to look at them, his heart filled with anxiety. He absolutely could not let them agree to Wan Yunting!
“Alright, Sect Master Wan, we agree to your terms!”
After a brief discussion among the major sects, Xu Guzi nodded to Wan Yunting and said.
“What? You…”
Guo Yu was furious and exasperated that the major sects had actually agreed to Wan Yunting.
Liu Bing turned his head and gave Guo Yu a look behind Wan Yunting’s back, signaling him to calm down.
“Don’t just agree with your mouths.”
Wan Yunting narrowed his eyes, knowing well that the major sects were only agreeing verbally to placate him.
He continued, “If I find out that you are letting Emei Sect disciples learn the Snow Mountain Sect’s martial arts, I will turn all your major sects into beggars!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Bing, Xu Guzi, Master Huikong, Hu Fei, Chen Jing, and Gu Song’s expressions became unpredictable. They exchanged glances, not daring to treat Wan Yunting’s words as a joke.
“Wan Yunting, you’re going too far…”
Guo Yu glared at Wan Yunting with venomous eyes, saying indignantly, “Isn’t this all because of Zhou Ruoxi? How can you blame our entire Emei Sect for this?”
“In terms of right and wrong, it’s her fault for her biological mother being the Demon Cult Leader!”
“So, you all think her birth is a sin!”
Wan Yunting’s sharp eyes fixed on Guo Yu, then looked at Xu Guzi and Master Huikong and the others, saying coldly, “Is that right?”
Hu Fei, Gu Song, and the others raised their eyebrows and exchanged glances. Master Huikong clasped his hands together, saying, “Amitabha, Sect Master Wan, the Demon Cult and our righteous path are irreconcilable…”
“Nonsense righteous path!”
Wan Yunting suddenly roared, pointing at Master Huikong and scolding, “What has your so-called righteous path done for this society?”
“You people, you preach benevolence and righteousness and uphold justice, but what is the difference between your private actions and those of evil cults?”
“Don’t think I don’t know that you joined forces to destroy the Demon Cult back then, all for the Demon Cult’s Demon Pool and the Heavenly Demon Art!”
These words once again made the faces of the people from the major sects present unnatural. Silence fell, and no one knew how to respond.
“Hmph, a bunch of hypocrites, unworthy of standing on the moral high ground to preach your benevolence and righteousness.”
Wan Yunting scanned these people with cold eyes and snorted coldly, “Therefore, I don’t buy into your rhetoric.”
“Amitabha…”
Master Huikong said again, “Sect Master Wan, if you understood the history of the Demon Cult, I believe you wouldn’t say this…”
“You also said history, Master Huikong!”
Wan Yunting’s eyes fixed on him, saying, “What heinous deeds has the current Demon Cult done? If you hadn’t bothered them, would they have appeared?”
“Sect Master Wan, I don’t think what you’re saying is right.”
Xu Guzi of the Wudang Sect shook his head and said, “Even if the Demon Cult is in seclusion now, they are still accumulating strength to appear in the future and oppose our major sects.”
“Therefore, we must represent the righteous path to completely eliminate all hidden dangers.”
“Hmph, what a nice thing to say.”
Wan Yunting clasped his hands behind his back and turned his head away, sneering, “Now that the Demon Cult Leader has been forced to death by you, you are all satisfied with this.”
“While you are all here, I will reiterate, if you dare to lay a hand on Zhou Ruoxi, you will be going against me, Wan Yunting. Therefore, I will not repeat myself.”
With that, Wan Yunting turned and entered his home…
“Wait, Sect Master Wan…”
Immediately, Xu Guzi called out to stop Wan Yunting and said, “Regarding the Demon Cult’s Demon Pool, I wonder if Sect Master Wan…”
“Ha, you actually asked!”
Wan Yunting turned and glared coldly at Xu Guzi and the other sect members, having already anticipated that they would inquire about the Demon Cult’s Demon Pool.
“Sect Master Wan, the whereabouts of the Demon Cult’s Demon Pool must be revealed to us. We must find the Demon Pool and destroy it, so that the Demon Cult loses its heritage completely!” Hu Fei said with a solemn expression.
“We hope Sect Master Wan will tell us the location of the Demon Pool…!” Master Huikong said, clasping his hands together.
Chen Jing, Gu Song, Zhao Yiwu, Liu Bing, and the other members of the major sects all stared intently at Wan Yunting, believing that when the Demon Cult Leader Yin Baisu spoke with him at the Emei Sect, she must have informed him of the Demon Cult’s Demon Pool location!
“Even if I knew the location of the Demon Pool, I wouldn’t tell you.” Wan Yunting snorted coldly as a result, then continued to walk towards his home…
“Sect Master Wan…”
Seeing this, everyone shouted, but this time Wan Yunting no longer paid them any attention.
“It seems he really does know the location of the Demon Cult’s Demon Pool!” Chen Jing said, his eyes sinister.
The others nodded, but also shook their heads…
As Wan Yunting said, even if he truly knew, if he didn’t say it, the major sects couldn’t do anything to him.
Fifteen minutes later, the butler of the Ouyang family came out holding a box…
Hu Fei, Liu Bing, and the others saw this and knew it was the Snow Mountain Sect’s martial arts manuals, their eyes gleaming.
“I’ll take it…”
Liu Bing immediately stepped forward, took the box with both hands and opened it. Inside, he saw more than ten Snow Mountain Sect martial arts manuals, and he was overjoyed, “Wan Yunting didn’t lie to us, these are indeed the martial arts manuals of the Snow Mountain Sect…”
“Good, good, good, we finally have the Snow Mountain Sect’s martial arts manuals returned to us…!”
Gu Song, Hu Fei, and the others were all excited, as these martial arts manuals would be distributed to the major sects based on allocation once handed over to the Martial Arts Association.
After all, the Snow Mountain Sect had already been destroyed, and now these martial arts manuals would naturally be divided among their major sects.
“Master Huikong, you can’t really stop us Emei Sect from learning them…!” Guo Yu said anxiously to Master Huikong.
“Sect Leader Guo, don’t worry. We’ll discuss this with Sect Leader Zhong and the others when we get back to see how to distribute them.”
Liu Bing turned to Guo Yu and comforted him with a smile, “Don’t worry, I believe Sect Leader Zhong and the others will give you Emei Sect a satisfactory answer.”
Hu Fei, Chen Jing, and the others nodded. They no longer took the current Emei Sect seriously.
Therefore, while they were outwardly placating Guo Yu, they secretly did not take him seriously…
“Let’s go, first take the martial arts manuals back to the hotel. Tomorrow, everyone will immediately set off for the Wudang Sect to convene a martial arts conference, and let Sect Leader Zhong and Abbot Renxin discuss how to distribute the Snow Mountain Sect’s martial arts manuals…”
Saying this, the crowd from the major sects all left the entrance of the Ouyang Mansion, happily returning to their hotel…
Inside the Ouyang Mansion, in the courtyard where Wan Yunting and his family resided.
“Yunting, have those sect people all left?”
His father Ouyang Zhixin came over and saw Wan Yunting sitting on a casual chair in the courtyard holding his granddaughter, and asked.
“I gave them the Snow Mountain Sect’s martial arts manuals, and sent them away,” Wan Yunting said with a smile, holding his daughter.
Ouyang Zhixin sat down, took his granddaughter and held her, saying, “From now on, let’s try to stay away from those sect people. It’s better to have less trouble than more.”
“Yes, I know, Dad.”
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile, then asked, “By the way, are you planning to have Yan Xi join our family group?”
Ouyang Zhixin nodded. His mother Xia Xiangyun also came over, looking at the father and son…
“I was just about to talk to you about this.”
Ouyang Zhixin said, “Yan Xi is quite capable in this area, and besides, you don’t like to take over the family business.”
“So I want to find a time after the New Year to have Yan Xi officially join our family group, she can start as a vice president!”
It should be known that the entire Ouyang family group was involved in various fields. It was the strongest family enterprise among the five major families in the capital, second only to the special Kong family.
Even Wan Yunting’s Zhaoting Group could not compare, as the fields of the two groups were different.
“I’ll ask Yan Xi later and see what she thinks.”
Wan Yunting knew his father’s intention was to have Fang Yan Xi take over and manage the family group.
“Well, Yan Xi should be back soon…”
Ouyang Zhixin dangled his granddaughter in the courtyard with a kind smile…
Before long, Fang Yan Xi returned from work. After the family had dinner, Wan Yunting and Fang Yan Xi returned to their residence. They personally bathed their daughter and discussed his father’s suggestion for her to join the family group…
