Wang Yang didn't seem to care, and appeared completely calm and composed.
In the silence, the Heavenly Child Granny turned her gaze to the four people: Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum.
"You four, why aren't you coming forward to pay your respects to the leader of my Free and Unfettered Sect?"
They heard the shouts of the Heavenly Child Granny.
The four women, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, quickly snapped out of their daze and stepped forward together, bowing deeply to Wang Yang and saying in unison:
"Greetings, Sect Leader!"
Wang Yang smiled calmly, indicating that the four women did not need to be so polite.
Then, his gaze shifted to the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny:
"Grandma Tong, I've crippled all your martial arts cultivation. Don't you hate me?"
Upon hearing Wang Yang's question, the Heavenly Mountain Child Granny smiled slightly and replied:
What use is high martial arts skill?
"In the end, didn't we still lose miserably?"
With that, the Heavenly Child Granny let out a long sigh, looked at the four people—Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum—and continued:
“Mei Jian, you four listen up! From this day forward, Alliance Leader Wang Yang will be the Venerable Master of Lingjiu Palace!”
"You four must serve him well!"
"Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, the four women, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, quickly nodded in agreement.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang frowned and uttered a soft question:
"Grandma Tong, I never said I wanted to be the master of Lingjiu Palace."
The Heavenly Child Granny smiled calmly and replied:
“I am now a cripple, and it is difficult for me to control Lingjiu Palace.”
"Although you helped the seventy-two island lords and the thirty-six cave lords break the life-and-death talisman."
"But people's hearts are unpredictable, and no one can say for sure which of them might harbor resentment towards the old man!"
"You are the one chosen by Wuyazi, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, and the position of the Venerable Master of Lingjiu Palace belongs to you alone!"
As she said this, Tianshan Tonglao looked straight at Wang Yang, her eyes even carrying a pleading expression.
Wang Yang was taken aback, initially intending to politely decline.
But after thinking about it again, he swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Seeing that Wang Yang did not refuse, Tianshan Tonglao was overjoyed and said again:
“From today onwards, this old woman will go to the Valley of the Deaf and Mute. I couldn’t be with him while he was alive, but now that he’s dead, there should be someone to keep watch over him.”
After saying this, Tianshan Tonglao sighed helplessly.
She was already quite weathered and aged, but at this moment, she seemed to have aged even more.
Before Wang Yang could reply, Boss Wu suddenly spoke up:
"Since we have promised Alliance Leader Wang, we will naturally not go back on our word."
"From now on, we will keep to ourselves and Lingjiu Palace!"
What Wu Laoda didn't expect was...
As soon as he said this, he immediately attracted a cold glare from the Heavenly Child Granny.
"Boss Wu, you really need to thank Alliance Leader Wang!"
"If it weren't for him, your act of forcing the emperor would have been enough to warrant the death of you a hundred times over."
"Do you think I would be attached to the power of Lingjiu Palace?"
After hearing what Tianshan Tonglao said, Wu Laoda was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wang Yang didn't want to stop it.
The Heavenly Child Granny, trying to curry favor with Wang Yang, glanced at the four people—Plum Blossom, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum—and instructed them:
"All of you remember this: from now on, serve Alliance Leader Wang well."
"His words are my words!"
Did you hear that?
Upon hearing this, the four women, Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju, nodded and bowed in agreement.
"call!"
Then, the Heavenly Child Granny sighed and got up to leave.
But at that moment, something unexpected happened!
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, a loud laugh came from outside the main hall of Lingjiu Palace.
Immediately afterwards, a voice came:
"Senior sister, where are you planning to go? You seem quite uncomfortable!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a gust of dust swept into the hall.
Then, a figure gracefully arrived.
The woman was dressed entirely in white, with beautiful features, a soft and melodious voice, and a slender and graceful figure. She seemed to float like a fairy as the wind blew through her clothes.
Her face was snow-white, but it was covered with a piece of white silk, so her features could not be seen clearly.
Besides her, there were more than a dozen people who came with her, each of them possessing a powerful aura, unlike ordinary people.
"Um?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, the Heavenly Child Granny was greatly alarmed and couldn't help but shout:
"You vile woman, how dare you come to my Lingjiu Palace!!"
While cursing and scolding, Tianshan Tonglao instinctively wanted to take action.
But as soon as she raised her hand, she realized that her martial arts cultivation had been destroyed and she no longer had any power.
Seeing this, the woman with the white veil covering her face laughed even more freely, and said mockingly:
"Senior sister, we haven't seen each other for so long, and we've only just met, and you already want to attack me?"
Upon hearing this, Tianshan Tonglao was filled with rage, but there was nothing she could do.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, the woman sighed helplessly and said again:
"If I were your senior, you would have so much to say to me!"
"Why didn't you say a word after seeing me?"
The Heavenly Child Granny frowned, then said coldly:
"I have nothing to say to you, you vile woman. I only wish I could kill you to vent my hatred!"
The woman in white wasn't angry at what the Heavenly Child Granny said, and instead looked at the Heavenly Child Granny more closely.
Upon closer inspection, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"Oh? Senior Sister, all your martial arts skills are gone?"
Tianshan Child Granny was taken aback, opened her mouth as if she had something to say.
But for some reason, she swallowed the words that were about to come out.
Meanwhile, everyone present looked completely bewildered.
No one expected that Tianshan Tonglao would be stopped by someone just as she was about to leave.
Zhao Min and the others were also taken aback when they saw this.
After thinking for a moment, I immediately remembered it.
Previously, Wang Yang had told them that Tianshan Tonglao and Wuyazi were both disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect, and they also had a junior sister named Li Qiushui.
Upon realizing this, Zhou Zhiruo was the first to exclaim in surprise:
"Young master, could she be Li Qiushui?"
Wang Yang neither confirmed nor denied what Zhou Zhiruo said, but nodded slightly and said:
“Besides her, there shouldn’t be anyone who hates Tong Lao this much.”
Just as the two were talking, Li Qiushui overheard them, her gaze suddenly darkening as she coldly looked at Wang Yang and the others.
"call!"
Without saying a word, she vanished from the spot in a flash.
When they looked again, they had already arrived in front of Wang Yang and the others.
As they approached, Li Qiushui lightly flicked her sleeve, and an invisible force suddenly shot straight at Zhou Zhiruo.
Seeing this, Wang Yang remained calm, and with a light tap of his foot, he stood in front of Zhou Zhiruo.
The next moment, the force that Li Qiushui was unleashing with her cold sleeve was directly blocked by Wang Yang.
"Bang!"
A sonic boom rang out, and the shockwave forced Li Qiushui back several steps.
After regaining her footing, Li Qiushui stared at Wang Yang with a look of shock and asked, "Boy, who are you?"
