The sharp whistle was the Ming Cult's alarm signal!
Instantly, everyone stood up.
"Damn it! The six major sects are not giving up and are making a comeback!"
"Please, Master, unleash your divine power once more and annihilate the six major sects!"
"No need to panic, everyone. Heed the leader's orders!"
Immediately afterwards, someone ran into the square.
He was covered in blood and reported to Yang Xiao.
"Left Envoy Yang! The Beggars' Sect, the Three Gates Sect, the Wushan Sect, the Giant Whale Sect, the Sea Sand Sect, the Divine Fist Sect, and other large and small gangs are besieging Bright Peak from the foot of the mountain!"
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao sighed.
"Alas... Most of these gangs have a grudge against Xie Xun, the Golden-Haired Lion King. They took advantage of the six major sects' siege of Bright Peak to retaliate against the Ming Cult and try to find out news about Xie Xun."
White-browed Eagle King sneered: "Do you think the Ming Cult is weak? We'll sit on Bright Peak, wait for them to come to us, and wipe out all the invading gangs without leaving a single one alive!"
Before Li Huan could speak, Zhang Wuji quickly said.
"Absolutely not! The Wushan Gang, the Giant Whale Gang, the Sea Sand Sect, and other gangs are all desperate criminals. In their quest for revenge and to seize the Dragon-Slaying Saber, they will stop at nothing to launch a furious attack on Bright Peak!"
"If we were to engage in a bloody battle with the various gangs, countless people would inevitably die or be injured. This would not only deplete the Ming Cult's strength but also fall into the trap set by the treacherous Cheng Kun!"
Good heavens, Zhang Wuji adopted the demeanor and tone of a cult leader.
"Cheng Kun's trick?" Yang Xiao asked in surprise.
Li Huan quickly explained, "Cheng Kun is none other than Yuanzhen of Shaolin! He has been impersonating a monk for a long time, infiltrating the Shaolin sect, and secretly assisting the Prince of Ruyang of the Yuan Dynasty!"
"The siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects and various gangs was orchestrated by Cheng Kun, who attempted to weaken the strength of the Central Plains martial arts world and the Ming Cult, so that Prince Ruyang could reap the benefits!"
The scene erupted in uproar.
Zhang Wuji was dumbfounded.
He hadn't expected that Li Huan was fully aware of Cheng Kun's conspiracy.
This street vendor selling boxed lunches is not only a master of martial arts, but also exceptionally intelligent.
Li Huan said loudly, "The Wushan Gang, the Haisha Sect, the Giant Whale Gang, and other gangs are all rabble and not worth our sect's trouble!"
"Leaders, you should all take refuge in the secret passage to heal your wounds and rest. I will stay in the plaza to deal with the enemy!"
The White-browed Eagle King hurriedly said, "This old man is willing to fight alongside the leader!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "Old man with white eyebrows, you used up too much energy fighting Zhang Songxi of Wudang earlier. You can't continue this fierce battle!"
The White-browed Eagle King said, "I ate three boxed meals and drank six cups of spicy soup, and my strength has been restored!"
Li Huan's expression hardened: "Conserve your strength! Follow orders!"
His tone was authoritative, which made the White-browed Eagle King feel a powerful aura.
He quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute: "Your subordinate obeys!"
Li Huan looked at Zhang Wuji: "As a disciple of the Wudang Sect, would you be willing to join the Ming Cult?"
Zhang Wuji's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly.
If one cannot become the leader and command the heroes, what is the point of joining the Ming Cult?
Seeing Zhang Wuji hesitate, Li Huan seized the opportunity to speak.
"You are the adopted son of Xie Xun, the Golden-Haired Lion King, and the grandson of Yin Tianzheng, the White-Browed Eagle King! Therefore, your relationship with the Ming Cult is closer than your relationship with the Wudang Sect!"
"If you join the Ming Cult, you can assist me in leading our cult against the imperial court and annihilating the Yuan army!"
"If you are unwilling to join the Ming Cult, immediately return to Wudang Mountain, pay respects to your grandmaster, and from now on, obediently become a Taoist priest, living a peaceful life without worries about food or sleep!"
Zhang Wuji originally had no grand ambitions; he only sought to avenge his parents and his adoptive father, and at most, to rebel and overthrow the Yuan Dynasty, and then retire to Wudang Mountain to live a life free from worldly strife.
Upon hearing Li Huan's words, a fire inexplicably ignited within Zhang Wuji, making his blood boil.
"The imperial court oppresses the people, and the world is in turmoil. I am a man, how can I hide in the mountains, live a muddled life, and live a life of cowardice!"
Zhang Wuji, with righteous indignation, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Li Huan.
"I am willing to join the Ming Cult, serve the leader, and annihilate the Yuan army!"
Li Huan nodded: "Alright! From today onwards, Zhang Wuji will serve as the Vice Leader of the Ming Cult!"
Instantly, everyone gasped in surprise.
Zhang Wuji is so young, what merit or ability does he have to serve as the vice leader?
Li Huan laughed and said, "Besides his superb medical skills, Zhang Wuji also possesses the Nine Yang Divine Skill!"
"Previously, in the secret passage of our sect, Zhang Wuji accidentally obtained the secret manual of the 'Great Shift of the Universe'. Relying on his profound internal strength, he has already mastered the 'Great Shift of the Universe'!"
The crowd gasped again.
Zhang Wuji was even more shocked and couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhao.
He mistakenly believed that Xiao Zhao had secretly told Li Huan about her experience in the secret passage.
However, Xiao Zhao shook her head, indicating that she had kept her mouth shut.
Li Huan said, "Wuji, quickly show us your skills so everyone can see, lest anyone be unconvinced!"
Zhang Wuji had no time to think and walked five or six meters to the right.
Bang!
Zhang Wuji forcefully struck a boulder with his palm, shattering it instantly, sending pieces of rock flying everywhere!
With a whoosh, Zhang Wuji used the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" technique, gathering countless pebbles together and suddenly shooting them towards the distant pine forest.
Splash...
The pine branches rustled as they were struck by countless pebbles.
Compared to Li Huan's previous use of the "Great Shift of the Universe" to gather weapons and hidden weapons into a "cleaver" shape to break the branches of the pine forest, Zhang Wuji's "Great Shift of the Universe" was slightly less powerful.
After all, Zhang Wuji has only mastered the sixth level of the "Great Shift of the Universe" and his internal strength is far inferior to Li Huan's!
Witnessing Zhang Wuji display the Ming Cult's unique skills, Yang Xiao and the others cheered in unison.
The White-browed Eagle King was overjoyed and excitedly shouted, "Good! Good! Good!"
The old man said "good" three times, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
