"Ah..."
A scream, followed by a figure flying out of the woodshed door and landing heavily on the ground. It was Bai Kangliang, who had been grabbed by the neck and thrown out by Wan Yunting. He lay prone on the ground, coughing violently, almost to the point of suffocation.
Zheng Rong was startled and quickly ran into the woodshed. She saw Wan Yunting squatting down, helping Lu Xiaodie adjust her clothes. The woman could no longer hold back her tears of grievance, "Yunting..."
Wan Yunting held the weak and powerless Lu Xiaodie in his arms and gently comforted her, "I'm sorry, Sister Lu, I'm late."
Duan Yingying came in and saw this scene without speaking. Zheng Rong quickly asked, "Xiaodie, how are you?"
Lu Xiaodie, who had recovered from her fright, said weakly, "That beast, he drugged me..."
Wan Yunting supported her with one hand and felt her left wrist with the other, his eyebrows raised. "It's a drug that makes one lose all strength but keeps the mind clear. Sister Lu, I'll use my internal energy to catalyze the drug, and you'll be fine."
"Mmm..."
Lu Xiaodie's eyes, red and tearful, felt a sense of security as this man appeared at this critical moment.
If the man hadn't appeared just now, Lu Xiaodie couldn't imagine what she would have been subjected to by Bai Kangliang and the others...
"Damn it, get up and get the weapons! I'm going to kill that kid!"
Bai Kangliang's curses came from outside. Lu Da also stood at the door, covering his chest, glaring at Wan Yunting inside who was using his internal energy to help Lu Xiaodie expel the drug's effects. Although he had only been illuminated by the light before being kicked away by the opponent, judging by Wan Yunting's speed and force, Lu Da could confirm that the opponent was definitely a martial arts master!
Chen Shusheng ran to call a group of his senior and junior brothers. They came over with knives, swords, and clubs. As soon as Bai Kangliang saw his reinforcements arrive, his face became even more ferocious and arrogant. He pointed into the woodshed and yelled, "Kid, get out here! Tonight, I'm going to bury you in the back mountain..."
"Get out..."
The senior and junior brothers also shouted in unison. The commotion quickly reached Bai Yihe and Qin Juan, as well as the elders...
After helping Sister Lu expel the drug's effects, Wan Yunting asked Zheng Rong to take care of her first, then stood up and walked out of the woodshed. Facing Bai Kangliang and this group of Hengshan Sect disciples, Wan Yunting's face was terribly grim, especially his sharp and cold eyes, which were as terrifying as a wolf in the dark staring at its prey. Bai Kangliang and Lu Da were intimidated and dared not look him in the eye, even their momentum weakened a bit.
"What are you waiting for? Attack!"
Bai Kangliang suppressed the inexplicable fear in his heart, turned to Lu Da and the others, and shouted angrily, "Don't hold back! If you beat him to death, I'll take responsibility."
"Charge...!"
Lu Da also gritted his teeth and led over a dozen junior brothers to attack Wan Yunting...
Ah...
The next moment, screams continued, accompanied by the sounds of crackling, and the sounds of bodies falling to the ground, and knives, swords, and clubs dropping onto the ground...
Except for Lu Da, who was at the late stage of the Martial Dao Huajing realm, the rest of these young disciples of the Hengshan Sect were either just starting their martial arts or hadn't even begun. Facing Wan Yunting, a Martial Dao Danjing realm expert, they had no room to fight back, only to be beaten...
In less than a minute, all twenty or so people were neatly defeated by Wan Yunting and lay on the ground groaning and screaming, leaving only Bai Kangliang and Chen Shusheng, who was full of panic, standing.
Bai Kangliang's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the grim-faced Wan Yunting. Wan Yunting strode past the unconscious Lu Da lying on the ground, pressed his fists together, and made cracking sounds like popping beans. This scared Bai Kangliang into retreating repeatedly, swallowing hard. Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. This time, he finally realized the formidable martial arts skills of the person in front of him, and he trembled, "You... don't come any closer..."
"Didn't you say you were going to bury me?"
Wan Yunting's face was cold, his sharp eyes fixed on Bai Kangliang, and he slowly approached him. This scared Bai Kangliang into retreating continuously. Chen Shusheng had already run far away, ignoring the son of the Hengshan Sect's leader.
Wan Yunting ignored these minor characters, quickly stepped forward, grabbed Bai Kangliang by the collar, and lifted him up like a little chicken. Bai Kangliang was terrified, struggling with his hands, his dangling legs flailing. He shouted, "What do you want to do? I am the son of the Hengshan Sect's leader. You can't hit me..."
"Stop!"
Just then, Bai Yihe's anxious cry came from behind. He and Qin Juan ran over quickly, followed closely by the elders, "Master Wan, stop..."
Wan Yunting did not let go of Bai Kangliang. He looked coldly at the hurried Bai Yihe and said in a cold voice, "Sect Leader Bai, haven't I been quite courteous to you?"
"Yes, yes, Master Wan shows respect to me, Bai."
Bai Yihe looked nervously at Wan Yunting and quickly persuaded him, "But Master Wan, can you please put my son down first? Please don't hurt him."
At this moment, Zheng Rong helped the recovered Lu Xiaodie walk out. Bai Yihe, Qin Juan, and the elders of the Hengshan Sect saw Lu Xiaodie's disheveled clothes and knew that she must have been bullied by Bai Kangliang!
After all, even the dogs of the Hengshan Sect knew what kind of person their sect leader's son was.
"Sect Leader Bai, you are truly a poor teacher!"
Wan Yunting continued to hold Bai Kangliang with one hand, his eyes coldly fixed on Bai Yihe, and said in a cold voice, "Rather, like father, like son!"
This remark made Bai Yihe's old face change, and his attitude turned 180 degrees. His tone also became grim, "Master Wan, what do you mean by that?"
"What do you mean? You know it in your heart!"
Seeing that this old fellow couldn't keep his composure and revealed his true colors, Wan Yunting snorted, "From the beginning, you didn't intend to let me take Lu Xiaodie away easily. You just wanted me to owe you a favor?"
"Of course, if you were willing to let me take Sister Lu away smoothly, I would have been willing to owe you this favor. It's just a pity that your son has done such a good deed, daring to bully my Sister Lu. If you don't give me an explanation tonight, don't expect me to back down!"
Facing Wan Yunting's tough attitude, Bai Yihe's heart was uncertain. His son was still in his hands, but he couldn't back down. He said in a deep voice, "Master Wan, what do you want?"
Wan Yunting, holding the helpless Bai Kangliang, said coldly to him, "It's very simple. I want to send him to prison!"
"What?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Juan, as the mother, screamed on the spot. Bai Yihe's old eyes widened even further, and he angrily said, "Wan Yunting, how dare you?"
"What do I not dare to do?"
Wan Yunting's entire being was like a sharp sword, his aura overbearing. He glared at Bai Yihe and his wife and said coldly, "If you commit a crime, you go to prison!"
Bai Yihe could no longer control himself and shouted madly, "Wan Yunting, what crime did my son commit? Do you really have to be so ruthless?"
Wan Yunting glanced at Lu Xiaodie beside him, then turned back to Bai Yihe and said domineeringly, "Anyone who dares to bully my people must pay the price. Moreover, Sect Leader Bai, can you guarantee that with your son's character, he can withstand an investigation?"
This remark choked Bai Yihe. He knew that his son had committed many mistakes, and he had always cleaned up the mess for him. If Wan Yunting really pursued the matter to the end, then Bai Kangliang serving ten or twenty years in prison would be considered light!
"Alright, alright, Master Wan. My son did wrong in this matter. I apologize to you and Lu Xiaodie on his behalf. I'm sorry." Bai Yihe, forced to back down, gritted his teeth and bowed to Wan Yunting and Lu Xiaodie.
Qin Juan also pleaded, "Master Wan, please spare my son. Please don't send him to prison. If you let him go, we will discipline him strictly from now on. Please..."
Wan Yunting still held Bai Kangliang and looked at Bai Yihe, who had raised his head. He saw a hint of ferocity beneath the surface of his eyes and couldn't believe he was sincerely apologizing. He said coldly, "Sect Leader Bai, it's better to send your son in for ten or half a year to be educated!"
"You...!"
Seeing Wan Yunting's firm decision to send his son to prison, Bai Yihe became completely enraged. He pointed at Wan Yunting and roared, "Wan Yunting, don't push me! This is my Hengshan Sect. If you don't release my son now, I'll make sure you can't leave the Hengshan Sect!"
"Heh heh..."
Wan Yunting sneered, scanned Bai Yihe and the elders with a look of disdain, and said sarcastically, "Sect Leader Bai, with just you guys, can you stop me?"
"Arrogant."
The Grand Elder, seeing Wan Yunting's arrogance, had his disciple fetch his long saber and pointed it at Wan Yunting, shouting angrily, "You ignorant brat, if you have the guts, fight me!"
"Fine."
Wan Yunting wanted to beat someone tonight. He casually threw Bai Kangliang out, who landed heavily on the ground groaning. Qin Juan and Bai Yihe were about to rush over, but Lu Xiaodie was one step ahead. She picked up a long sword from the ground, stepped on Bai Kangliang's back, and held the sword at his neck. She glared at Bai Yihe, who was a step behind, and shouted, "Come on, believe it or not, I'll stab him with this sword?"
"No..."
This made Qin Juan wail in fear and collapse onto the ground. Bai Yihe's old face was covered in gloom, and his old eyes glared fiercely at Lu Xiaodie...
Wan Yunting, with his powerful internal energy, directly drew a long sword from the ground into his hand. His proud gaze swept coldly over Bai Yihe. He looked at the Hengshan Sect's Grand Elder, who was holding a long saber and had taken a fighting stance, and sneered, "Old man, I'll let you have a few moves!"
"Arrogant brat, I don't need you to let me have moves. Watch the saber..."
The Grand Elder shouted, holding his long saber, and charged forward, slashing directly at Wan Yunting's head. His saber technique was extremely sharp, and it reached Wan Yunting's face in an instant. However, he saw that Wan Yunting, unhurriedly, took a slight step back, raising his long sword to block in front of him. The Grand Elder's slashing saber missed its target and swung down. The blade and the sword rubbed against each other, drawing a spark...
"Pfft...!"
But in the next second, the Grand Elder screamed. In fact, before he could even react, Wan Yunting struck him fiercely in the abdomen with his left palm. The Grand Elder spurted out a mouthful of blood on the spot, and his entire body was sent flying backward, falling to the ground with a thud. He rolled a couple of times with his saber before lying on the ground...
"Grand Elder..."
The Second Elder and Third Elder around him, as well as other disciples, were greatly shocked. They rushed forward to help the Grand Elder, who was spitting blood...
Bai Yihe on the side looked stunned, his old eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Wan Yunting in disbelief. That palm strike just now seemed to be exactly the same as the martial arts Lu Xiaodie had used!
