After hearing Wang Yang's words...
The members of the Ming Cult were all taken aback.
Over the years, the Ming Cult has been looked down upon by the righteous sects, who have also labeled it a demonic cult.
Yang Xiao and the others never expected that Wang Yang would understand them in this way.
They even spoke up for them in public.
It should be understood that the doctrine of the Ming Cult is to punish evil and promote good, and to enlighten people.
What they wanted to build was a utopian society where everyone could have enough to eat and wear.
This is quite different from other martial arts sects.
After all, most martial arts sects aspire to dominate the martial arts world while maintaining a peaceful coexistence with the imperial court.
The Ming Cult is different; if the imperial court is corrupt and incompetent, they will rise up in rebellion.
This is why the relationship between the Ming Cult and the imperial court has always been strained.
They were frequently suppressed and besieged by the imperial court.
This also makes the Ming Cult members act mysteriously, and people in the martial arts world know very little about them, so they regard them as "demons".
Now, Wang Yang's words resonated deeply with the members of the Ming Cult.
They follow the doctrines of light, not some demonic cult.
"Ha ha!"
Suddenly, the Green-Winged Bat King burst into laughter.
"Young hero, you are very much to my liking, Green Wing Bat King."
"Would you do me the honor of having a drink later, and perhaps we could become friends?"
Wei Yixiao looked straight at Wang Yang, his eyes full of admiration.
They felt that Wang Yang understood their Ming Cult very well.
If it weren't for the mistake he made while practicing the extremely yin and cold Frost Palm technique, which caused the accumulation of extremely cold yin poison in his meridians...
They wouldn't even think about sucking blood to detoxify.
Before Wang Yang could reply, a person suddenly stepped out from among the Ming Cult members.
This man was ugly, with a fierce expression, and two knife scars on his face, making him quite terrifying.
If Zhou Dian wasn't one of the Five Wanderers, then whose was he?
"Heavens!"
"Finally, someone has vindicated our Ming Cult! We are not a demonic cult!"
"It's all slander from these self-proclaimed righteous people."
Zhou Dian sighed in a madman-like manner.
As Zhou Dian spoke, the people from Wudang, Shaolin, Kongtong, Kunlun, Beggars' Sect, and other sects present all frowned and looked at him with serious expressions.
Here, they wouldn't dismiss the Ming Cult from the ranks of the Demonic Cults just because of a few words from Wang Yang.
In the silence, a righteous person couldn't help but shout:
"You treacherous members of the evil cult, stop making excuses."
"You demonic sects, do you still dare to dream of clearing your name?"
As soon as this person said this, other upright people echoed his sentiments:
"snort!"
"You have committed numerous evils, yet you dare to say you are not a demonic sect?"
"The Ming Cult has a bad reputation. It is constantly waging war and fighting, deceiving and scheming against each other."
"This isn't a demonic cult?"
"Insidious and vicious killings, cruel and inhumane, treating human life as worthless!"
"Now that we have encountered this place, we righteous people should act on behalf of Heaven and rid the martial world of this scourge!"
"That's right, eradicate the evil cult and restore peace to the martial world!"
"..."
The more they talked, the more indignant the upright people became.
Immediately afterwards, the various righteous sects, who had been standing scattered, tacitly gathered together.
In a short while, the righteous faction and the Ming Cult stood facing each other on the street.
The two sides were on the verge of a fight, with signs that they might come to blows at the slightest disagreement.
"Fight if you want, who's afraid of who?"
As the righteous people gathered, a shout suddenly came from among the Ming Cult members.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang was taken aback and quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the person speaking was a young gentleman.
He was exceptionally handsome, with bright, clear eyes.
The folding fan in her hand had a white jade handle, and the hand holding the handle was so white that it was indistinguishable from the handle itself.
Wang Yang noticed it after just a quick glance.
This young man is clearly a woman disguised as a man; his true identity is that of a woman.
"A woman dressed as a man?"
"Could it be... Zhao Min?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Wang Yang's mind.
Thinking of this, he quickly glanced at the young man a few more times.
But then, standing to the left and right of this man were three other people, all of whom were extraordinary and clearly not ordinary people.
"She seems to be stirring things up too!"
"It must be Zhao Min."
As he watched, Wang Yang muttered to himself.
They also guessed that the three people guarding Zhao Min were Ah Da, Ah Er, and Ah San.
"Strange, why are the Xuanming Elders nowhere to be seen?"
As he pondered this, Wang Yang began to have doubts.
The Xuanming Elders are skilled in using the Xuanming Divine Palm, a technique that utilizes the chilling internal energy of the Xuanming.
Because of his passion for fame and fortune, he joined the Prince of Ruyang's mansion to serve him, and became the strongest expert in the mansion.
Zhao Min usually takes these two with her wherever she goes, but this time they were nowhere to be seen.
"Perhaps the two Xuanming Elders are too conspicuous, and with so many martial arts practitioners present, it would be easy for their identities to be exposed."
"Or perhaps, these two also came, but are hiding in the shadows."
Wang Yang secretly guessed and saw through Zhao Min's intentions.
She was originally a princess of the Ruyang Prince's Mansion of the Great Yuan Dynasty. At this time, she sneaked into Xiangyang City with the intention of gathering information.
Now that she sees the major righteous sects about to clash with the Ming Cult, she naturally won't miss this opportunity to fan the flames.
After all, if these two sides were to fight, regardless of who wins or loses, it would weaken the forces resisting the Yuan dynasty.
At this moment, Zhao Min did not notice that Wang Yang was observing her.
The three men, Ah Da and Ah Da, who were standing on either side of him, echoed loudly:
"What kind of prestigious sect are you talking about? If you're so capable, come and have a go!"
"You want to make a move, huh? You don't think you're afraid of someone from the Ming Cult, do you?"
"Come on! Let's see whose swords and spears are more powerful!"
As Ah Da and the other two shouted, the members of the Ming Cult were also filled with righteous indignation.
After all, they never considered the Ming Cult to be a demonic cult.
They felt that these prestigious and upright families had distorted and misunderstood them.
The Blue-Winged Bat King and his companions also launched a verbal counterattack.
For a moment, the two sides engaged in a heated verbal battle!
Wang Yang didn't care about this; he actually quite liked Zhao Min from the original novel.
She is a smart woman who dares to love and hate, is very cute, and has her own opinions.
He is straightforward, decisive, resourceful, and shrewd in strategy.
After thinking for a moment, Wang Yang did not expose Zhao Min's identity in public.
If the martial arts practitioners present knew that the princess of the Great Yuan Dynasty was here, wouldn't they tear her to pieces?
Even with Ah Da and a few others protecting them, they were no match for these martial arts practitioners.
Then, ignoring the verbal sparring between the two sides, Wang Yang went straight towards Zhao Min.
At this moment, Zhao Min was still shouting and yelling, trying to further intensify the conflict between the Ming Cult and various prestigious sects.
Ideally, they should be able to have a big fight.
In that case, her goal would be achieved.
"I don't think you're a member of the Ming Cult, are you?"
"What exactly is their purpose in inciting emotions among the Ming Cult members?"
Suddenly, Zhao Min heard Wang Yang's voice.
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Min was startled and immediately looked towards Wang Yang.
