Zhang Wuji's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly nodded.
"Miss Zhou is already the head of the Emei Sect. If she can walk the right path, she will surely benefit the martial arts world!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "Now that the rebel army is fighting against the imperial court, the Ming Cult should unite all forces that can be united to eliminate the Yuan army and overthrow the imperial court!"
"Therefore, I am sending you to accompany Zhou Zhiruo to the Emei Sect to retrieve the 'Martial Arts Manual of Yue Fei' and persuade Zhou Zhiruo to assist the Ming Cult in fighting against the imperial court!"
Zhang Wuji clasped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, Master, I will certainly not fail in my mission!"
Li Huan said, "Zhou Zhiruo's father was killed by the Yuan soldiers, so she should hate them. If she refuses to lead the Emei Sect to assist the Ming Cult in fighting against the imperial court, it means she has gone astray. You should cripple her martial arts to prevent her from harming the martial arts world!"
Zhang Wuji was shocked!
"You've crippled... crippled Miss Zhou's martial arts?"
Li Huan looked directly into Zhang Wuji's eyes: "What, you can't bear it? It's just crippling Zhou Zhiruo's martial arts, not killing her!"
Zhang Wuji asked, "Why force Miss Zhou to fight against the imperial court, and why cripple her martial arts?"
Li Huan's expression hardened, and his tone became serious.
"I've long seen that although Zhou Zhiruo isn't as arrogant as Abbess Miejue, she's ambitious and has the idea of dominating the martial arts world!"
"Zhou Zhiruo lost her father at a young age and, after joining the Emei Sect, suffered long-term oppression from Ding Minjun, which twisted her mind. Now that Zhou Zhiruo possesses unparalleled martial arts skills, she is bound to do something earth-shattering to vent her inner repression!"
Zhang Wuji understood, and his two sword-like eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Li Huan said, "If you're going to be soft-hearted, just say so. Don't force yourself, and don't try to fool or deceive me! Otherwise, I'll cripple your martial arts!"
Zhang Wuji hurriedly said, "The leader entrusted the Heaven Sword to me for safekeeping, but I failed in my duty and accidentally lost it. I should accept the leader's punishment!"
"Right now, the leader not only doesn't punish me, but also entrusts me with an important task. How can Wuji possibly deceive the leader or give him the runaround?"
"Please rest assured, Master, I will do my utmost to persuade Miss Zhou to lead the Emei Sect to fight alongside the Ming Cult, eliminate the Yuan army, and overthrow the imperial court!"
Li Huan said, "Okay, I hope you succeed and don't disappoint me again!"
Zhang Wuji said, "If I disappoint the leader again, I will definitely cripple my martial arts and retire to Wudang Mountain to become a Taoist priest!"
Li Huan said, "Alright, remember your vow!"
Immediately, Li Huan got out of the car and led Zhang Wuji to Zhou Zhiruo.
Li Huan said, "Miss Zhou, Wuji has agreed to go with you to the Emei Sect to retrieve the 'Martial Arts Manual'!"
Zhou Zhiruo's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Leader Li!"
Li Huan thought to himself, "You want to use Zhang Wuji to dominate the martial arts world? I'll play along and let Zhang Wuji use you to fight the Yuan army!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Wuji bid farewell to Li Huan and left the square with Zhou Zhiruo.
Abbess Miejue lay on a stretcher and was carried away by disciples of the Emei Sect.
The once-mighty nun has now laid down her arms and retired from the martial world...
At this time, Xiao Zhao had finished writing the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" mental cultivation method and handed it to Huiyue Envoy.
The Wind Envoy and the Cloud Envoy carefully examined the "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" mental technique, confirmed it was correct, and were overjoyed.
Xiao Zhao asked, "Three envoys, my leader has been to Persia. The leaders of the main sect have even eaten my leader's boxed lunches and invited him to be their head chef. How come you three don't recognize my leader?"
Li Huan almost burst out laughing.
The stories of Li Huan visiting the Persian Ming Cult and being invited to be a chef were pure fabrications, but Xiao Zhao believed them without question.
Huiyue asked in surprise, "Leader Li, have you really been to Persia?"
Li Huan said in a serious tone, "Of course, I go to Persia every year to buy various Persian specialties to use in cooking."
“When I was a guest of the Persian Ming Cult, I did not see the three envoys. It is understandable that you do not recognize me.”
The Moonlit Envoy said, "I have never seen you before, nor have I ever heard of you."
Li Huan lied, "I've always been a low-key person. When I was sourcing ingredients in Persia, I liked to use various aliases and sometimes even wore a mask to maintain an air of mystery."
Huiyue believed it to be true and asked no further questions.
Li Huan said, "Sister, since we've met today, why not try my cooking and have a boxed lunch?"
Huiyue couldn't help but look at the food bucket, her stomach growling a few times.
Even the Wind Envoy and the Cloud Envoy couldn't help but be moved.
Li Huan said, "Since you found the three Sacred Flame Tokens lost by the Ming Cult and returned them to their rightful owner, I'll treat you to a free boxed lunch. Please have a seat!"
The Moonlit Envoy, the Wind Envoy, and the Cloud Envoy exchanged glances, too embarrassed to ask for the Sacred Flame Token, and the three of them sat down at the dining table.
Moreover, even if they joined forces, they couldn't defeat Li Huan and couldn't reclaim the Sacred Flame Token.
Rather than being defeated by Li Huan and humiliated in public, it's better to enjoy the delicious food in peace.
Xiao Zhao quickly filled the lunch boxes and served them to the three messengers, "Wind, Cloud, and Moon".
Dai Qisi walked to Li Huan's side and questioned him in a low voice: "How dare you make my daughter your personal maid, serving you day and night!"
Li Huan laughed and said, "Are you out of your mind? Can't you see that I deliberately deceived the three envoys to prevent Xiao Zhao from being taken to the Persian Ming Cult to become its leader?"
Dai Qisi was stunned; "You...you didn't consummate your marriage with Xiao Zhao?"
Li Huan said, "Not for now."
Dai Qisi suddenly realized what was happening and smiled, "You're quite clever, aren't you?"
Li Huan raised an eyebrow: "Don't rush to praise me. We haven't consummated our marriage yet, but it will happen sooner or later. Xiao Zhao is destined to be my woman!"
Dai Qisi nodded and said with satisfaction, "You are young and promising, handsome, and have unparalleled martial arts skills. I would be at ease if Xiao Zhao were to marry you."
This tone clearly indicates that the mother-in-law approves of her son-in-law.
Li Huan asked, "The Persian envoy has obtained the 'Great Shift of Heaven and Earth' manual and will no longer arrest you to return to the Ming Cult in Persia for punishment. You no longer need to live in fear. What are your plans for the future?"
Dai Qisi said, "Wherever Xiao Zhao goes in the future, I will go there too, and I will never be separated from her."
Li Huan smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao once swore that she would follow me for the rest of her life."
Dai Qisi was taken aback.
Li Huan said, "You were once the Dharma King of the Ming Cult, but because you fell in love with Han Qianye, you were forced to leave the Ming Cult and go into seclusion on Ling Snake Island in the East China Sea."
"If I were to order the restoration of your status within the Ming Cult, to assist me in fighting against the imperial court and eliminating the Yuan army, would you be willing?"
Dai Qisi pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since Xiao Zhao is following you, I agree to rejoin the Ming Cult! However, I have a grudge against the Ming Cult members, they..."
Li Huan waved his hand, telling Dai Qisi not to worry.
"All Ming Cult disciples, heed my command!" Li Huan shouted loudly.
Yang Xiao, Fan Yao, Wei Yixiao, Yin Yewang, Zhou Dian, and the Cloth Bag Monk, among others, all looked respectful.
Li Huan said, "The Purple-Robed Dragon King Dai Qisi has returned to the Ming Cult today to serve as its Protector. Does anyone have any objections?"
