Chapter 1516 Remnants of the Demonic Cult

“Xiao Wan, when are you leaving Huadu City?”

After the meeting at noon, Jiang Yichun and Deng Hongsheng saw Wan Yunting out and asked.

“In the next couple of days, then I’ll fly to Min Province,” Wan Yunting said with a smile.

“Well, this major reform is time-sensitive, so we won’t keep you any longer,” Jiang Yichun said with a smile.

Wan Yunting nodded. He turned to wave at Jiang Yichun and Deng Hongsheng, saying with a smile, “After I’m done with this busy period, I’ll come back to Huadu City to gather with everyone.”

“Okay, you’re welcome back anytime…”

Everyone waved goodbye, knowing that Wan Yunting’s next stop was Min Province.

Wan Yunting deliberately glanced at Ruan Wen, signaled something to her, then turned and drove away from the Chinese Medicine Association office building…

Ruan Wen, understanding the signal, found an excuse and also left the Chinese Medicine Association office building, walking quickly to a bus stop…

A short while later, Wan Yunting slowly drove over. Ruan Wen smiled and got into the car, and the two of them went straight to Ruan Xingwen’s house…

“Sister Wen, I’ll be leaving Huadu City around the day after tomorrow.”

Wan Yunting said with a smile as he drove, “Your work ability is excellent. I believe that with your strength, you’ll be able to advance in the future.”

Sitting in the passenger seat, Ruan Wen turned her head, her charming, foxy eyes looking at him, and she giggled coquettishly, “But I want to rely on you.”

Wan Yunting gave her a look, knowing she was joking, and said, “I’ll spend the afternoon with you and Sister Xingwen…”

“Really.”

Ruan Wen was overjoyed when she heard this, her heart filled with longing…

Ruan Xingwen knew that the man would spend the afternoon with them, so she didn’t go to the company today. After sending her daughter to school, she stayed at home…

When Wan Yunting and Ruan Wen returned, Ruan Xingwen smiled and asked, “Have you had lunch?”

“No, but I’m hungry!”

Ruan Wen, linking her arm with Wan Yunting, winked at Ruan Xingwen, and the two women giggled mischievously.

“Then let’s have lunch first.”

Wan Yunting hadn’t yet realized what the women were up to, thinking that Ruan Wen was genuinely hungry.

“Hehe, we’ll eat yours…”

Suddenly, Ruan Wen and Ruan Xingwen, laughing heartily, pounced on Wan Yunting and pushed him onto the large sofa in the living room…

The three of them frolicked for the entire afternoon, and Ruan Xingwen and Ruan Wen were completely exhausted.

“I should go back.”

Wan Yunting, full of energy, said to them with a gentle smile.

“Yes, you should go quickly…”

Ruan Wen and Ruan Xingwen were utterly exhausted, and they were a little afraid of Wan Yunting now.

“How about…”

“No, hurry and go, or Moyi will be back…”

Ruan Xingwen quickly pleaded. Previously, she had found the man quite gentle.

But with Ruan Wen present, Wan Yunting became a bit more forceful…

Wan Yunting smiled, bid them a gentle farewell, and then drove away from Ruan Xingwen’s house. However, he didn’t go straight back but went to Huadu University to see Grandpa Chang…

He bought more wine and drank with Chang Wude, chatting about the issue of returning to the Wuliang Taoist Temple after his retirement…

Well, since Wan Yunting returned from Africa, he hadn’t heard any news about the Heavenly Eye Divine Cult or the martial world!

During this time, he had been busy reorganizing the Chinese medicine world and hadn’t paid attention to the affairs of the major martial arts sects.

What’s more, they hadn’t sent anyone to ask him for the Snow Mountain Sect's martial arts manuals anymore.

This was a bit unusual!

At this moment, in the headquarters of the Heavenly Eye Divine Cult in Country H.

“Has my adoptive father come out of seclusion yet?”

Ever since Jian Shisan returned to headquarters, he hadn’t seen his adoptive father, the Divine Lord.

A new elder of the sacrifice shook his head and said to Jian Shisan, “The Divine Lord is attempting to break through to a divine position!”

“What, my adoptive father is attempting to break through to a divine position?”

Jian Shisan was shocked and couldn’t help but tremble with excitement, “Could it be that my adoptive father has truly opened up a secret method to open the Heavenly Eye without using the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate?”

The elder of the sacrifice nodded and said, “Whether he succeeds depends on the secret method created by the Divine Lord himself!”

Jian Shisan was thrilled and laughed, “As long as my adoptive father breaks through to a divine position, opens his Heavenly Eye, and reaches the realm of ‘seeing gods and being indestructible’ in martial arts, then there will truly be no one in the entire Chinese martial arts world who can match my adoptive father!”

“Then, there will be no need for Wan Yunting’s Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate. At that time…”

As Jian Shisan spoke, his eyes were almost frenzied, his anger surged, and he gritted his teeth, “I can avenge my junior sister and the others!”

Previously, they had wanted to capture Wan Yunting and obtain the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate, so they hadn’t killed Wan Yunting!

If the Divine Lord truly relied on his self-created secret method, cultivated divine power, and opened his Heavenly Eye, reaching the realm of ‘seeing gods and being indestructible,’ then there would be no need for the Thirteen Needles of Ghost Gate, which meant there would be no need for Wan Yunting to live.

Then Jian Shisan and the others could confidently go and kill Wan Yunting directly to avenge Leng Bing, Han Dongri, and their other junior sisters and brothers…

At this moment, Wan Yunting was still drinking and chatting with Chang Wude at Huadu University. He learned from Grandpa Chang that the major martial arts sects were currently围剿 (wéi jiǎo - encircling and suppressing) the Demonic Cult!

“Demonic Cult?”

Wan Yunting looked at Chang Wude in surprise and said, “Didn’t I hear before that the Demonic Cult no longer existed? How come, are there still remnants of the Demonic Cult in the world?”

Chang Wude shook his head slightly and said, “I’m not sure about that. Wuweizi mentioned it to me last time when he called.”

“Hehe, as for whether there are still people in the Demonic Cult or not, that’s what those people from the major sects say. Perhaps those sect members are plotting something again!”

Wan Yunting nodded. Thinking of the character of those major sect members, they were even more terrifying than the so-called evil cults!

Human nature is insidious, people just can’t see it through their skin.

However, Wan Yunting was still a bit curious about the Demonic Cult, so he took out his phone and called Zhou Ruoxi to ask if she knew anything about the Demonic Cult’s deeds.

The phone was connected. Zhou Ruoxi, who was at the Emei Sect, was in her study. She was surprised that the man had time to call her at this moment.

After all, Zhou Ruoxi knew that Wan Yunting had been very busy recently with the major reform in the national Chinese medicine world.

“Why do you have time to call me?”

Zhou Ruoxi, dressed in a flowing white ancient-style long dress, exuded a mature and restrained aura, possessing the demeanor of a sect leader.

“Well, I just finished my work in Huadu City and will be leaving for Min Province the day after tomorrow.”

Wan Yunting left Chang Wude’s security room and was strolling by the lake on campus while calling Zhou Ruoxi. He said, “I just heard from Uncle Chang that your major sects are currently wiping out the remnants of the Demonic Cult?”

“Didn’t the Demonic Cult get wiped out by your major sects long ago? How come there are still remnants?”

Zhou Ruoxi didn’t expect the man to call her about this matter and sighed, saying, “Yes, last month, someone discovered traces of the Demonic Cult in Shu territory.”

“So, led by Sect Leader Zhong of the Wudang Sect and others from the major sects, they have been tracking the remnants of the Demonic Cult in Shu territory. Just a few days ago, I also returned from Shu territory.”

“Oh, did you catch any remnants of the Demonic Cult?” Wan Yunting asked curiously.

“We caught a few, but their leader still escaped!” Zhou Ruoxi said.

“The leader, the leader of the Demonic Cult?” Wan Yunting asked.

“I don’t know, it should be the leader,” Zhou Ruoxi said.

Wan Yunting nodded, then immediately laughed, “Forget it, let your major sects handle your own affairs. Just don’t bother me anymore.”

Zhou Ruoxi said, “Are you really planning to keep the Snow Mountain Sect’s martial arts manuals for yourself and not hand them over to the Martial Arts Association?”

Wan Yunting laughed, “After we’ve all learned them, we’ll give them to them. By the way, has your Aunt Jin Yu returned to the Emei Sect?”

“No, hasn’t Aunt Jin Yu always been in Kunlun Mountain?”

Last time, he sent Grandmaster Jin Yu to Kunlun Mountain, and now she was keeping company with Chen Qiuyun.

“Well, after I finish this busy period, I’ll go visit them before the New Year,” Wan Yunting said with a smile.

“Okay, when you go, remember to let me know, and I’ll go with you,” Zhou Ruoxi said.

“Alright, then I’ll hang up for now. I still have things to do here.”

Wan Yunting saw two familiar figures ahead, it was Huang Yuqing and Jiang Peipei, who were leaving work…

“Yunting, I…!”

However, Zhou Ruoxi hesitated to speak on the phone.

“What’s wrong?”

Wan Yunting asked, “Did something happen?”

Zhou Ruoxi paused, then smiled and said, “It’s nothing. You go ahead and do your thing. I’ll hang up now…”

After saying that, she hung up the phone, which made Wan Yunting raise his eyebrows slightly, sensing that Zhou Ruoxi seemed to have something to tell him but didn’t say it!

“Huh, Yunting?”

Huang Yuqing, wearing a floral print dress, saw Wan Yunting and exclaimed in surprise.

Jiang Peipei, holding a basketball by her side, wearing loose basketball attire and sneakers, was still as eye-catching with her tall stature. But when she saw Wan Yunting, her beautiful eyes froze, and her mood instantly sank.

“Yuqing, Peipei, are you guys off work and going out for dinner?”

Wan Yunting looked at the two of them. They were still the same, but when he met Jiang Peipei’s gaze, he felt a bit awkward remembering their subtle relationship.

However, if he ran into them and didn’t greet them, it would seem impolite.

“Yes, why are you at the school?” Huang Yuqing asked with a smile.

Wan Yunting pointed to the security room behind him, “I came to give Grandpa Chang some wine and food and had a chat with him.”

“We’ve already eaten, so we won’t invite you. Sister Yuqing, let’s go.” Jiang Peipei glared at Wan Yunting and pulled Huang Yuqing away.

“Yunting, then we’re going to eat, I have class tonight…”

Huang Yuqing waved goodbye to Wan Yunting and was then pulled away by Jiang Peipei.

“Oh, okay…”

Wan Yunting nodded blankly. Seeing Jiang Peipei giving him the cold shoulder made him feel helpless…

Although Jiang Peipei wasn’t giving him a good look, it was evident that she hadn’t forgotten Wan Yunting.

Huang Yuqing, looking at her, sighed helplessly. How could she not know…

Wan Yunting left the university and went directly back to Sheng Tangding Mountain. His second sister-in-law, along with Su Ke’er and Qi Miaomiao, had just finished dinner and were having a harmonious meal with his second brother’s family…

In the evening, Wan Yunting specifically visited his father-in-law, Fang Guowen, and chatted with them for a while. He didn’t get back home until eleven o’clock at night. His second brother and sister-in-law were already resting upstairs.

Meanwhile, Qi Miaomiao and Su Ke’er were still in the living room on the second basement floor, examining the Hanfu dresses they had bought these past two days…

“Still not asleep?”

Wan Yunting went downstairs and saw them displaying the Hanfu dresses in the living room. Dresses from various dynasties were dazzling.

“Brother Yunting, you’re back…”

The two girls immediately went up and linked their arms with Wan Yunting, pointing to the Hanfu dresses hanging on the rack, “What do you think, are they beautiful?”

“They are beautiful, but they must have cost quite a bit of money, right?”

Wan Yunting looked at the two girls. In just a few days, each of them had bought more than a dozen sets of various expensive Hanfu dresses.

Truly extravagant women.

“Hehe, it’s fine as long as they’re beautiful.”

Qi Miaomiao smiled shyly. Previously, Gu Luotang had always suppressed her, but now that she had run out on her own, she naturally wanted to buy whatever she wanted.

“Brother Yunting, how about we go back to the room and I’ll try on each set for you to see?”

Su Ke’er’s big eyes sparkled, eager to show off to the man and have him praise her…

“Alright, let’s do it in the movie room. The room isn’t big enough for you to display them.”

Wan Yunting pointed to the soundproofed movie room. Su Ke’er and Qi Miaomiao happily agreed and asked Wan Yunting to help them carry the rack of clothes into the movie room…

Su Ke’er directly locked the door and, along with Qi Miaomiao, began showcasing the various Hanfu dresses they had bought these past few days to Wan Yunting…

Wan Yunting didn’t stand on ceremony and sat directly in the middle of the first row of chairs. He watched Su Ke’er and Qi Miaomiao change into different outfits, like a Hanfu fashion show, displaying them all for him. It was truly a feast for the eyes…

“Brother Yunting, how about this one?”

Suddenly, Su Ke’er and Qi Miaomiao changed into a particularly special style of Hanfu, which made Wan Yunting’s nose bleed. This caused the two girls to giggle incessantly…

So, the real show was waiting for him here…
