After the leader left, the remaining people looked at each other, all wanting to leave as well.
The Wudang Sect actually has a hidden figure who is suspected to be a martial arts legend. Most of these people did not have pure motives for coming up the mountain. If they displease this figure, they may not be able to leave Wudang Mountain today.
Thinking of this, they immediately felt extremely uneasy and could no longer sit still.
He Taichong, who had remained silent to the side, was sweating profusely. He clenched his fists tightly, feeling extremely fearful. Fortunately, he hadn't stepped forward, otherwise, he would have been the one lying on the ground.
After thinking for a moment, he stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture, coughed, and said awkwardly, "Master Zhang, Master Xiao, this junior just remembered that I have some matters to attend to at home, um... um... we shall take our leave now!"
Zhang Sanfeng nodded and said calmly, "I won't see you off any further."
Xiao Ning ignored him completely.
He Taichong wasn't embarrassed. He called out and led his disciples out quickly, though he looked like he was fleeing in panic.
After the Kunlun Sect members left, the Five Elders of Kongtong also stood up to take their leave. Subsequently, as if by prior arrangement, the assembled martial arts heroes bid farewell to Zhang Sanfeng and Xiao Ning one after another.
Before long, only the Emei Sect members remained in the same spot.
Master Jingxuan stood up, put her hands together in prayer, and said, "This humble nun, Jingxuan, pays her respects to Master Xiao!"
After all the outsiders had left, Jingxuan formally greeted Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning nodded and returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "Greetings, Abbess!"
Afterwards, the Emei disciples bowed to Xiao Ning, their eyes filled with admiration.
"Master Zhang, now that this matter is settled, we must return to Emei to report to our master. We will take our leave now."
After chatting for a while, Jingxuan took his leave of Zhang Sanfeng. Despite repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, Zhang Sanfeng finally agreed.
Ji Xiaofu lowered her head in the crowd, not daring to look at Yin Liting. At the moment of parting, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "Sixth Brother... I'm sorry!"
Yin Liting was puzzled by her words and asked, "Junior Sister Ji, what's wrong? What happened?"
Ji Xiaofu bit her lower lip, then released it. A row of deep teeth marks appeared on her lip, and blood was almost drawn from it. She said in a trembling voice, "Sixth Brother, I... I don't know how to tell you about your kindness. I... I can only repay it in the next life."
Yin Liting felt that she was being very distant at this moment, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart. She exclaimed, "Junior Sister Ji, what happened? Tell me!"
Ji Xiaofu covered her face and wept, not daring to face him. She followed closely behind Jingxuan and quickly walked out of the main hall.
Yin Liting opened his mouth, but remained silent.
After the Emei Sect group had gone some distance, Xiao Ning stepped forward, patted Yin Liting on the shoulder, and comforted him, "Sixth Nephew, it's obvious that your sweetheart has changed her mind. You should be prepared!"
"What? This is impossible... I don't believe it..."
Upon hearing this, Yin Liting's face was filled with disbelief, and he roared wildly.
Xiao Ning sighed and said, "Why would your martial uncle lie to you? I see that Miss Ji's eyebrows have opened and her eyes are no longer clear. It's very likely that she has already given herself to someone and made a secret engagement!"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "Your marriage to Miss Ji is not only your private matter, but also a major event between the Wudang and Emei sects. How could I, your uncle, speak nonsense?"
Hearing their conversation, Zhang Sanfeng walked over and looked at Xiao Ning with a questioning gaze. Xiao Ning nodded slightly, indicating that he was telling the truth.
Seeing that no one spoke, Yin Liting was struck dumb, trembling uncontrollably. He muttered to himself, "I don't believe it. You're all lying to me, aren't you? How could Junior Sister Ji betray me... I don't believe it..."
The others, including Song Yuanqiao, were experienced and clearly noticed something was wrong. Upon hearing Yin Liting's words, their expressions became unnatural.
Zhang Cuishan stepped forward, put his arm around Yin Liting's shoulder, and comforted her gently.
Zhang Sanfeng looked up to the sky and sighed, "Alas! What a tragedy!"
Today's 100th birthday celebration has been full of twists and turns. Heroes from all over the world gathered at Wudang to interrogate the fifth disciple. It was only with great difficulty that the junior brother took action and drove the group down the mountain, but then this happened.
Just then, Yin Susu cried out, "Ah, Wuji, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Sanfeng was startled and quickly asked, "What's wrong? What happened to the child?"

Chapter 23 Zhang Wuji is injured
Upon hearing Zhang Sanfeng's question, Yin Susu's face turned anxious, and she cried out, "Wuji was perfectly fine just now, but suddenly he fainted. I touched him, and his whole body was ice cold. I... I don't know what happened..."
"Um?"
Upon hearing Yin Susu's words, Zhang Sanfeng quickly stepped forward, took Zhang Wuji from him, and immediately his expression changed drastically as he exclaimed, "Oh no!"
However, they discovered that Zhang Wuji's entire body was ice cold, his face was pale and bloodless, his breathing was extremely weak, and his whole body was as cold as ice, like a dead man.
Zhang Sanfeng immediately placed his hand on Zhang Wuji's Lingtai acupoint on his back, and a powerful surge of innate true energy was transmitted through his clothes.
With his current cultivation level, as long as the person was not immediately dead, no matter how many injuries they suffered, they would definitely recover once Zhang Sanfeng's true energy arrived. However, when his internal energy was channeled into Zhang Wuji's body, Zhang Wuji's face turned from white to green, then from green to purple, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
Zhang Sanfeng reached out and touched his forehead. It was icy cold, as if he had touched a block of ice. Startled, he then touched the back of the man's clothes with his right hand. He felt as if a spot on his back was burning with charcoal, while the surrounding area was chillingly cold.
If Zhang Sanfeng hadn't already reached the Innate Realm, he would probably have been shivering from the cold and unable to withstand the sudden contact.
He ripped open Zhang Wuji's clothes, revealing a clear, bright green five-finger palm print on his fair skin. When he touched it, he felt an intense heat at the palm print, while the surrounding area was icy cold.
When Zhang Sanfeng reached out to touch it, he was already in great pain. One can only imagine how much pain Xiao Wuji must have been in, having suffered such a serious injury.
Zhang Sanfeng raised his head and looked at Xiao Ning, saying, "Junior brother, your Nine Yang Divine Skill is especially effective against Yin and cold forces. This child has been afflicted by the Xuanming Divine Palm, and we will have to trouble you to remove this affliction for him!"
"Senior brother, what are you saying? It's nothing!"
Xiao Ning nodded, handed the subdued Lu Zhangke to Song Yuanqiao for safekeeping, took Zhang Wuji from Zhang Sanfeng, sat down on the ground, placed his right palm on Zhang Wuji's back, and with a thought, the Nine Yang True Qi in his body surged out and poured into Zhang Wuji's body.
