Upon hearing Zhao Min's words, Zhou Zhiruo frowned.
He knew in his heart that Zhao Min had probably disliked him for a long time and wanted him to leave.
In this way, no one will compete with her for Wang Yang's favor.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Zhiruo replied:
"I will send Senior Sister Jingxuan back to Emei first, while I haven't had enough of sightseeing here yet, and I plan to accompany Alliance Leader Wang on another journey through the mountains and rivers!"
As she spoke, Zhou Zhiruo glanced at Jingxuan standing to the side and added:
"Senior Sister Jingxuan, please return to Emei first."
"If Master asks, I will say that I have some things to attend to and will return at a later time."
As she said this, Zhou Zhiruo didn't forget to give Jingxuan a meaningful look.
"Um?"
Seeing this, Jingxuan frowned slightly, not quite understanding Zhou Zhiruo's meaning.
"What does Junior Sister Zhiruo mean by this?"
"Could it be...could it be that her apparent admiration for Leader Wang was just a facade?"
"Then why did she stay?"
Thinking of this, Jingxuan suddenly noticed the Yitian Sword that Wang Yang was holding in his hand.
This Heaven-Slaying Sword was originally the sword of his master, Abbess Miejue.
Back in Xiangyang, Abbess Miejue was very unhappy with Wang Yang's desire to become the leader of the alliance.
Wang Yang then used her to establish his authority. In one swift and decisive move, he defeated Abbess Miejue and seized her sword, the Heaven-Slaying Sword.
"I see!"
"Junior Sister Zhiruo wants to help Master retrieve the Heaven-Reliant Sword!"
Suddenly, Jingxuan had this idea.
When she looked at Zhou Zhiruo again, she smiled happily and nodded, saying:
"Junior Sister Zhiruo, please enjoy your trip."
"When you get back, I'll help you explain things to your master."
Having said that, Jingxuan didn't linger. She bowed to Wang Yang and the others to say goodbye and then left on her own.
"snort!"
Seeing this, Zhao Min couldn't help but snort coldly, intending to take this opportunity to drive Zhou Zhiruo away.
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Zhiruo was not fooled at all.
Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo and Zhao Min were so jealous of each other, Yang Xiao and the others all smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.
After all, if Wang Yang, who was involved, didn't say anything, how could they possibly speak up?
Wang Yang saw this, remained calm, and smiled, saying:
Let's go! To Hangzhou!
Next, Wang Yang led Zhao Min and the others away from the inn, taking the route from Wuxi to Hangzhou.
They enjoyed sightseeing and had a great time along the way.
A few days later, Wang Yang and his group arrived in Hangzhou.
"Young master, we will be able to enter Hangzhou in half an hour."
"When the time comes, we must go and see the beautiful scenery of West Lake."
"As the saying goes, there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and the most famous place in Hangzhou is West Lake."
"The water sparkles, the mountains are shrouded in mist—it's an enchanting sight!"
Zhao Min stood close to Wang Yang, her face filled with longing.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo intended to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she was speechless.
To be honest, she had only heard that the West Lake was beautiful, but she knew very little about it.
Shangguan Haitang saw this and didn't seem to care at all.
She had no interest in sightseeing.
Throughout the journey, I kept thinking about how to break free from Wang Yang's control.
Unfortunately, no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't come up with a good solution.
Originally, when Ximen Chuixue came to challenge Wang Yang to a sword duel, she thought it was an excellent opportunity.
But who would have thought that the mighty swordsman Ximen Chuixue would be defeated by Wang Yang?
"Clang clang clang..."
Just then, the sounds of fighting suddenly came from the woods ahead.
Upon hearing the sound, Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, and the others all became alert and looked towards Wang Yang.
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang was slightly surprised, but without lingering, he led the group toward the scene of the fight.
Before long, the group arrived at the scene of the incident.
Looking closely, one could see a man and a woman fighting fiercely in the woods ahead, while a couple stood nearby, seemingly watching.
The man and woman fighting.
The man was extremely tall yet extremely thin, like a bamboo pole, and his face was also frighteningly ugly.
The woman he fought was very graceful, and she wore a veiled hat, so her face was not clearly visible.
The man was not exactly handsome, but he was extremely skilled, wielding a pair of three-foot-long steel claws with claw tips shaped like human hands.
His attacks were swift and fierce.
In addition, the man's movement technique was also excellent; he moved as swiftly as a wisp of smoke and as elusive as a wild goose soaring into the distance.
The woman, wielding a long sword, sparred with him. During their exchange, she would occasionally glance at the couple watching from the sidelines.
It seemed that while she was fighting the man, she was also wary of the couple.
The woman, dressed in red, looked graceful and charming.
Although she was quite pretty, there were three bright red bloodstains on each cheek.
The line ran from under the eye down to the cheek, as if someone had just scratched it!
The man standing next to the woman in red had an unusually large head.
His wide mouth revealed gleaming white teeth, but his eyes were round and small, like two beans.
Her appearance can only be described as ugly.
A pair of alligator scissors was tucked into the man's waist.
"Um?"
Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Yang frowned slightly and muttered to himself:
"Could these people be Yun Zhonghe, Ye Erniang, and Yue Laosan, three of the Four Evils?"
"Who is that woman who fought Yun Zhonghe? She has a nice figure, but we can't see her face!"
Just as Wang Yang was pondering this in secret.
Ye Erniang and Yue Laosan, who were not far away, also spotted Wang Yang and the others.
"Ye San Niang, quite a few people have arrived!"
Yue Laosan glanced at Wang Yang and the others with an unfriendly look.
Among the Four Evils, he only respected the eldest, Duan Yanqing, and disrespected Ye Erniang and Yun Zhonghe.
Ye Erniang was originally ranked second, but in his mouth, she became Ye Sanniang.
Upon hearing this, Ye Erniang turned her gaze to Wang Yang and the others, then looked them over and whispered.
"Yue Laosan, don't act rashly. The newcomers are quite powerful; it's not wise to antagonize them."
Yue Laosan nodded, then withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Yun Zhonghe, who was locked in combat with the cloaked woman:
"Yun Lao Si!"
"Are you sure you can handle this? Do you need my help, Yue Lao Er?"
Upon hearing what Yue Laosan said, Yun Zhonghe's brows furrowed, and he coldly said:
"Yue Laosan, don't try to show off in front of me! This young lady is someone Yun Zhonghe has taken a liking to, it's none of your business!"
As he spoke, Yun Zhonghe's steel claws became even more ferocious in their attacks.
The woman wearing a straw hat and gauze hat found it increasingly difficult to parry her moves.
Seeing that the woman was gradually showing signs of defeat, Yang Xiao looked at Wang Yang and asked, "Alliance Leader, shall we make a move?"
Wang Yang glanced at himself and smiled calmly.
He did not answer Yang Xiao. The next moment, he suddenly pointed his right middle finger out.
"Zhongchong Sword!"
As Wang Yang unleashed the Six Meridians Divine Sword, a sword aura shot out horizontally from his middle finger.
"boom!"
"call out!"
The sword energy was expansive and powerful, exuding a majestic aura.
In no time at all, it struck Yun Zhonghe directly!
