Clearly, this man is Zhang Wuji.
Yang Buhui's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "Brother Wuji, what are you doing here?"
Wuji?
Yin Tianzheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be his grandson Zhang Wuji?
Zhang Wuji said, "Xiao Zhao and I followed Cheng Kun here. Later, Cheng Kun blocked the passage with huge rocks, and we are trapped here and can't get out."
Yang Buhui immediately turned to Li Yao and said, "Master, please think of a way to rescue Brother Wuji."
At this moment, Zhou Dian, Shuobude, Peng Yingyu and others walked to the boulder and worked together to move it.
However, the boulder remained completely still.
Zhou Dian, panting, shook his head and said, "Master, this boulder is too heavy; we can't move it."
Leng Qian said succinctly, "Gunpowder, explode!"
This person is calm and never utters a single unnecessary word.
His meaning was quite clear: to use gunpowder to blast open the boulder.
Yin Tianzheng quickly shook his head and said, "No, what if we blow up the secret passage? Wouldn't the two people inside perish here?"
Li Yao said, "No need for all that trouble, just move it directly."
Zhou Dian hurriedly said, "Master, this boulder is very heavy. Even if I, Shuobude, and Monk Peng work together, we still can't move it."
Li Yao ignored Zhou Dian and walked directly to the boulder, examining it to see how to start moving it.
Yang Xiao and the others shook their heads, all disbelieving that their leader could move the boulder.
However, they soon widened their eyes in astonishment, their mouths agape in surprise.
Li Yao grabbed the boulder, lifted it up with both hands, and it was lifted up.
Wow... the cult leader is incredibly strong!
Bang!
Li Yao put the boulder aside and then moved another boulder away.
Then, everyone saw Zhang Wuji, who was dressed in rags, and Xiao Zhao, whose hands and feet were chained.
"Brother Wuji, it really is you!"
Yang Buhui rushed over happily.
"Wuji? You really are Wuji?"
Yin Tianzheng looked at Zhang Wuji, and his eyes couldn't help but well up with tears.
The Zhang Wuji before me looks remarkably like Zhang Cuishan from back then.
Therefore, Yin Tianzheng recognized Zhang Wuji at a glance.
The joy of Yin Tianzheng recognizing Zhang Wuji goes without saying.
Afterwards, Li Yao and his group arrived at Yang Dingtian's remains.
Yang Xiao and the others had already learned the truth about Yang Dingtian's death from Cheng Kun.
Now, seeing the remains of Yang Dingtian and his wife, they couldn't help but sigh.
It's truly lamentable that Yang Dingtian, the leader of a sect, would lose his life here because of his love for his wife.
After collecting the remains of Yang Dingtian and his wife, Yang Xiao and the others left the secret passage with Li Yao.
After exiting the secret passage, the group arrived at the council hall. Suddenly, Wei Yixiao's face turned ferocious and terrifying. With a flash, he grabbed a tea-pouring boy and bit his throat.
At the same time, another figure flashed by, a hand firmly gripping Wei Yixiao's chin, and he shouted sharply, "What are you doing?"
This figure was naturally Li Yao.
Seeing this, Yang Xiao, Yin Tianzheng, and the others all shook their heads helplessly.
Zhou Dian quickly explained, "Master, you don't know this, but these vampire bats cultivate the Frost Palm and have accumulated cold poison in their bodies. Once the cold poison takes effect, they must suck human blood to suppress it."
Zhang Wuji was horrified when he heard this.
Li Yao, of course, knew about this. He picked up Wei Yixiao, threw him aside, and said to the terrified child, "Get out of here."
Wei Yixiao was suffering from a sudden attack of the cold poison. He curled up in a ball, trembling all over, and a layer of white frost appeared on his face.
Without saying a word, Li Yao sat cross-legged, pushed his palms together, and slowly pressed them against Wei Yixiao's chest.
Instantly, a warm stream of Daoist energy slowly flowed into Wei Yixiao's body.
Soon, the white frost on Wei Yixiao's face gradually disappeared, and her pale face gradually regained its rosy color.
He opened his eyes and saw the cult leader healing his wounds, and was immediately flattered.
Li Yao smiled and said, "Don't get distracted. Circulate the true energy I'm transferring to you through your eight extraordinary meridians."
Wei Yixiao immediately nodded and circulated his true energy as Li Yao instructed.
A moment later, he felt warm all over, and the cold poison in his body seemed to have disappeared.
Li Yao used the most powerful and masculine Daoist Qi to completely dissolve the cold poison in Wei Yixiao's body.
At the same time, he discovered that a green orb of light had fallen from Wei Yixiao's body.
He unexpectedly obtained the martial arts technique 'Frosty Palm'.
His Dao True Qi can transform between Yin and Yang, so he can naturally cultivate the Frosty Palm technique as well.
Then, he stood up and said to Wei Yixiao, "I have already neutralized your cold poison. You don't need to practice the Frost Palm anymore. When I have time, I will teach you the Dragon Claw Hand from Shaolin. Combined with your superb lightness skill, it will be absolutely powerful."
Wei Yixiao was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Master."
Zhou Dian gave a thumbs up and said, "The sect leader is still the most powerful. When the vampire bat's cold poison flared up before, I saved him and almost lost my life."
He said, "With your meager skills, you actually dare to compare yourself to the leader."
Zhou Dian scratched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Not bad, not bad. I, Zhou Dian, rarely submit to anyone. Now I only submit to the leader."
Chapter 96 A Clown Taking Advantage of a Disaster
Yang Xiao and the others agreed with Zhou Dian's words and were very satisfied with Li Yao, the new leader.
Suddenly, Shuobude asked, "Master, we have all been struck by Cheng Kun's Illusionary Yin Finger. Is there any way to counteract it?"
Li Yao nodded and said, "Of course, you can. Sit down and I'll help you neutralize the internal energy of the Illusionary Yin Finger."
He immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Master."
He then sat down cross-legged on the spot.
Since Shuobude and the others were not seriously injured, Li Yao used the Great Dao True Qi to easily neutralize all the internal energy of the Illusionary Yin Finger within Shuobude and the others.
As the new leader of the Ming Cult, Li Yao naturally received a fine room prepared for him by the entire cult.
It was late at night.
Li Yao sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating the "Great Dao True Scripture," refining and strengthening the physical attributes he had acquired that day.
At the same time, he transformed the true qi attributes he picked up into Dao true qi, making it purer and more profound.
Today, Li Yao can be said to have achieved numerous victories.
The Seven Injury Fist of the Kongtong School, the Eagle and Snake Life-and-Death Struggle of the Huashan School, the Cloud Ladder Leap of the Wudang School, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the Dragon Claw Hand and the Mighty Vajra Palm of Shaolin, and so on.
He acquired all the unique skills of various schools and sects.
He even copied Abbess Miejue's Heaven-Slaying Sword.
In addition, he also gained a large amount of physical strength, true qi and other attributes, as well as a large number of luck points, enough for him to upgrade or learn martial arts.
Most importantly, Li Yao also gained a wealth of practical experience through battles with masters from the six major sects, something the system could not provide him with.
The next day, Li Yao, Yang Xiao, and others gathered in the council hall to discuss matters.
Suddenly, a series of urgent whistles could be heard from afar.
Yang Xiao jumped to his feet and exclaimed, "This is a warning signal from the foot of Bright Summit!"
Zhou Dian frowned deeply and shouted, "Damn it, could it be that the six major sects are not satisfied with their defeat and have returned?"
Shuobude and the others all agreed with Zhou Dian's view and cursed the six major sects as despicable and shameless.
At this moment, Li Yao remained calm.
He guessed that it was very likely a motley crew gathered by Chen Youliang, who wanted to take advantage of the chaos.
At that moment, a man rushed into the council hall.
The man was covered in blood, with an arrow still stuck in his chest. As soon as he saw Li Yao, he shouted, "Master, no...it's bad! The enemy...the enemy is attacking Bright Peak from three sides! Brothers...we can't hold on much longer!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the man collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Wei Yixiao rushed over, grabbed the man, and demanded, "What enemy?"
Yang Xiao frowned, stepped forward to check the man's breath, and shook his head, saying, "He's dead."
Wei Yixiao threw the man to the ground and, together with Yang Xiao, turned their gazes toward Li Yao.
Li Yao stepped down from his seat and ordered, "Give this brother a proper burial."
Immediately, two members of the cult carried the corpse away.
Then Li Yao said, "Let's go take a look."
Just as they left the council chamber, another man covered in wounds rushed over.
Yang Xiao immediately recognized the man as the deputy flag bearer of the Hou Tu Banner.
Upon seeing Li Yao, the deputy flag bearer immediately bowed and reported, "Reporting to the leader, the forces attacking Bright Peak from the mountain are the Giant Whale Gang, the Sea Sand Sect, the Divine Fist Sect, and other groups."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Dian immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "These clowns actually dare to come and take advantage of our misfortune! Do they think our Ming Cult is easy to bully?"
Yang Xiao said with a worried look, "Master, although these clowns are not from any major sect, they are numerous, and there are quite a few experts among them. Now that we have suffered heavy losses, I'm afraid we will not be able to resist them for a while."
Zhou Dian stiffened his neck and said angrily, "What are you afraid of? Let's do it! At worst, I'll lose my old life."
