Chapter 548 The New Martial Arts Alliance Leader Determines to Eradicate the Voodoo Cult

Like a mother hen protecting her chicks, he spread his arms wide and stood firmly in front of Bai Yue, staring at Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi, who had just gotten up, with a wary and scrutinizing look on his face, as if they were some kind of monster.

"Wife! Don't be fooled by their apologetic act! These two are acting strangely; their eyes are sometimes clear and sometimes cloudy. They might be up to something bad! You'd better stay away from them and be careful!"

He leaned close to Bai Yue's ear and spoke in a voice he thought was very soft, but which everyone present could hear clearly.

"..."

Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi's expressions grew even more unpleasant upon hearing this.

They were already filled with remorse for their earlier lapse in composure, and now, being publicly questioned by Yuwen Yi, they were even more speechless. They could only purse their lips tightly, their hands hanging at their sides clenching silently, as they silently endured this unwarranted accusation and suspicion.

"What was that just now?"

The same question arose in both of their minds: were those sudden, terrifying images of their master jumping off the cliff hallucinations, or forgotten memories of reality? Why did they suddenly resurface at this moment?

Just then, a loud "bang" was heard!

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the door to the room where Yuwen Cheng and Yuwen Xiao were located had been kicked open from the inside.

Immediately afterwards, Yuwen Xiao, his face still flushed and his hair slightly disheveled, strode out of the room in a huff.

As she straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, she glared at the person behind her, clearly still angry about what had just happened.

"Senior sister! Senior sister! It's all my fault, no matter what! Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Following closely behind her was Yuwen Cheng, whose clothes were even more disheveled than Yuwen Xiao's, with his collar even slightly torn open.

While frantically tying the jade belt on his robe, he hurried to catch up, a fawning smile plastered on his face, repeatedly begging for mercy.

"It would be such a waste if you got sick from getting angry. I'll make you your favorite rock sugar bird's nest soup later, okay?"

The two of them pulled each other into the courtyard, only to find that the once bustling courtyard was now rather empty. What surprised them even more was that Lingxuzi, the head of Zixiao Temple, was also there.

"Master Xuanji, when will you..."

Before Yuwen Xiao could finish speaking, Yuwen Yi shouted.

"Alright, Mother, you don't need to be so polite. This Lingxuzi is one of the servants who serves you. You two were arguing in the room just now, at the head of the bed and at the foot of the bed..."

Before he could even utter the word "together," Yuwen Cheng unceremoniously flicked him on the forehead.

"You brat, how can you be so disrespectful, starting by belittling yourself..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, he received a solid kick to the buttocks from Yuwen Xiao.

"Yuwen Cheng, who gave you the right to hit my son!"

The other person's face was flushed, clearly still wanting to beat up Yuwen Cheng. Seeing this, Lu Wangyou quickly stepped forward, pointed to the tightly closed door next to her, and explained gently.

"Senior Yuwen, all the elders are gathered in that room discussing important matters. Why don't you go and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Xiao's face showed an even more obvious awkwardness. She kicked Yuwen Cheng again and then quickly walked towards the room, trying to escape this embarrassing situation as soon as possible.

Once Yuwen Yi saw that his mother had left, he immediately stopped holding back. He quickly helped Yuwen Cheng up, grabbed his arm, and eagerly embellished his story about the Kunyuan Ruicao.

"Father! I heard that the Kunyuan Ruicao is amazing! It can not only regulate the body, but also help women get pregnant! If Mother uses it, maybe we can have a little brother sooner!"

"What? This herb has such miraculous effects?"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Cheng's eyes lit up instantly. His initial curiosity about why Ling Xuzi would impersonate Bai Yue's servant vanished completely.

Just as he was about to inquire in detail about the specific uses and dosage of this herb, as well as whether there were any contraindications, a sudden "fluttering" sound of wings came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a pure white carrier pigeon swooping down from the clouds and landing precisely on Yuwen Cheng's shoulder.

The other party skillfully removed the thin bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, pulled out a tightly rolled strip of paper, unfolded it, and quickly began to browse through it.

As his gaze swept over the words, the relaxed expression on his face gradually disappeared, and his brows involuntarily furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Xiaoyue, I just received news that the martial arts tournament, originally scheduled for two months later, will be held earlier."

After carefully putting the note away, he turned to look at Bai Yue, his tone carrying an undisguised seriousness.

Yuwen Yi, standing to the side, curled his lip and interjected dismissively.

"Dad, this news isn't new! Grandma Mo also received a message from the Flying Eagle saying that the martial arts tournament is being moved up. We already knew about it!"

He thought it was something serious, and his tone was indifferent.

"Do you know why this martial arts tournament was brought forward so hastily?"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Cheng continued to press for answers.

"I heard it was proposed by Zixiao Temple, but Grandma Mo didn't say the specific reason!"

As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Yuwen Cheng's expression suddenly became extremely serious.

"That's right, Zixiao Temple wants to quickly elect a new martial arts alliance leader who is virtuous and talented and can win the respect of the people!"

He paused, emphasized his words, and uttered the more crucial second half of the sentence.

"The primary task of this new leader is to integrate all the forces of the righteous path in the martial arts world, gather the elites of all factions, and eradicate the long-standing Voodoo Cult with overwhelming force!"

"Eradicate the Voodoo Cult?!"

Upon hearing these five words, Yuwen Yi was immediately shocked, and his voice rose several decibels.

"This... How can this be?! Isn't my brother's wife a holy maiden of the Voodoo Cult?! And Tianle! Isn't Tianle's maternal grandfather also some kind of elder of the Voodoo Cult?! If a fight really breaks out, how will my brother and Tianle cope, caught in the middle?!"

At this moment, Yuwen Cheng's brows furrowed into a deep frown. This was the first thing that came to his mind when he saw the message.

Within the Voodoo cult, there are the biological mother and maternal grandfather of their beloved grandchildren. For both moral and legal reasons, they cannot sit idly by and watch their own people fall into a dilemma.

"Daddy Cheng,"

After a moment of thought, Bai Yue stepped forward and asked the most crucial question in her mind.

"Do you know why the Zixiao Temple suddenly turned its attention to the Voodoo Cult, even to the point of wanting to 'completely eradicate' it? After all, although there had been frictions between the two sides before, it had never reached such a point of no return, had it?"
