Chapter 6

Xie Lingxun was also at a loss. He had only been a disciple for a short time and had not yet received the teachings of the Emei Sect. He had only been taught some martial arts to strengthen his body. He could only comfort with kind words, saying, "Your and Yue Yuanzun's talents are not ordinary, and your backgrounds are both pitiful. Although you were forced to join an evil sect, it was not by your own will, and you haven't done anything bad. I heard from Senior Sister Mo Yinning that when she was captured by your evil master, it was thanks to your repeated persuasion that she wasn't killed immediately. In fact, you've done many good things. The elders won't fail to see that."

Wang Chong smiled wryly, thinking to himself, "The Emei Sect has strict views on good and evil. If it weren't for the current difficulties of the Five Spirits Immortal Mansion, there would be no such disputes. They would have long sent us down the mountain, perhaps even erasing our memories and nullifying our magical powers to prevent us from causing trouble in the mortal world." However, he wouldn't tell Xie Lingxun these things.

Wang Chong chatted with Xie Lingxun for a while, then took the food box back to the stone cave.

The Emei Sect's diet was light, with only a few pieces of lean meat, which were steamed without any oil. Although it was refreshing, the quantity was small, and the rest was just vegetables and fruits.

Wang Chong quickly finished all the food. Knowing that Xie Lingxun wouldn't bring the next meal until the afternoon and take away the food box, he sat cross-legged and began to practice the Primordial Yang Sword Technique.

The Emei Sect had two meals a day, breakfast and dinner. Noon was the best time for cultivation, so there was no food at that time.

Wang Chong's afternoon practice allowed him to convert half of his Primordial Yang True Qi and open the Yanglao acupoint. The Primordial Yang True Qi circulated through the acupoints, becoming slightly more active.

After dinner, Wang Chong intended to practice a bit more, but Yue Yuanzun suddenly burst in with a seven- or eight-year-old boy, without even greeting him outside the cave, which was quite rash and impulsive.

After entering, the boy first made faces at Wang Chong, then introduced him, "This is Senior Sister Mo Yinning's younger brother, Mo Huer. He found a great place to play. Shall we go and see the fun?"

Wang Chong declined, saying, "We are already very fortunate to be able to stay in the Five Spirits Immortal Mansion for a few days. They don't allow us to wander around, so why break the rules? Besides, even if there is something interesting, it's not worth offending the immortals."

Yue Yuanzun laughed, "We're not going alone; Mo Huer will lead us. Besides, the immortals are lenient and won't mind. Let's go quickly, just don't let anyone know."

Wang Chong looked down on Yue Yuanzun. When they were under Daoist Yan, he knew that although this guy had some cunning, he was very immature and more likely to cause trouble than achieve anything. He thought to himself, "Even if I don't go, if Yue Yuanzun gets into trouble, it will likely involve me. I should try to dissuade him. Once I master the Primordial Yang Sword Technique and gain the recognition of the Primordial Yang Sword, whether I successfully join the Emei Sect or leave with the sword, I will have a vast world ahead. Why should I care about him?"

Thinking this, Wang Chong pretended to hesitate. Mo Huer couldn't hold back and said, "If you don't want to go, I won't take you. This fun place, if not for Senior Brother Yue, you wouldn't even have a chance."

Wang Chong then pretended to be forced and reluctantly agreed, "I'll go with you then."

As they walked out, Yue Yuanzun deliberately fell back half a step to walk alongside Wang Chong and whispered, "I have a great benefit to offer. If it weren't for our being fellow disciples, I wouldn't bring you along. Just follow my instructions when the time comes."

Wang Chong glanced at Mo Huer, who was leading the way without a care, and couldn't help but sigh.

Mo Huer was not yet an official disciple of the Emei Sect; his sister was only a nominal disciple and had not yet formally joined the Emei Sect.

Although Mo Huer was only eight years old, he was extremely arrogant. Since he and his sister were rescued into the Five Spirits Immortal Mansion, they had considered themselves part of the Emei Sect and treated Wang Chong and Yue Yuanzun with a condescending attitude, looking down on them.

Mo Huer's arrogance would eventually cause trouble. Although Wang Chong didn't like the boy, he knew that even if he tried to persuade him, it might not work and could even increase his dislike. So he didn't bother.

Led by Mo Huer, the three quickly arrived at the foot of a small mountain in the Five Spirits Immortal Mansion.

This small mountain was entirely emerald green, like a crystal, and was a treasure refined by Ancestor Yin Dingxiu to suppress the Five Spirits Immortal Mansion, known as the Five Spirits Emerald Peak. It was also the central hub of the Five Spirits Immortal Mansion's protective array.

This treasure was extremely important, so all Emei disciples were warned not to come here lightly.

Mo Huer pointed at the Five Spirits Emerald Peak and said, "This mountain has a mechanism. Just a slight twist can allow you to see for thousands of miles around. It's very fun. Let me show you."

Wang Chong was startled and quickly stopped him, "When we came up the mountain, we were warned not to come here. You can play here, but you can't tamper with the Five Spirits Immortal Mansion's hub. This is a serious offense; you should give up the idea."

Mo Huer arrogantly shouted, "I'm just playing with Senior Brother Yue. What's it to you? If you don't like it, leave. I warn you, if you tell anyone, I won't let you off."

Before Mo Huer finished speaking, Wang Chong had already raised his voice, "Mo Huer, if you dare to tamper with the Five Spirits Emerald Peak, the Emei Sect will not forgive you. Stop immediately!"

Wang Chong couldn't use any magic to conceal his identity, but his voice was strong. He used all his strength to shout, hoping to alert someone. The sound echoed through the sky.

Mo Huer's face changed. He knew this was a serious offense. But this little brat had long considered himself part of the Emei Sect and felt that he should be free to do as he pleased in the Five Spirits Immortal Mansion, like at home. His face turned dark and terrifying, and he gritted his teeth, muttering, "Even if you bring people here, they will believe me, not you. You are a foolish person, far inferior to Senior Brother Yue. You will eventually be expelled from the Emei Sect. We don't keep people who can't see the light."

Wang Chong shouted for seven or eight times, finally alerting the Emei Sect. Six or seven beams of light rose from a distance, turned slightly, and flew toward the Five Spirits Emerald Peak.

In a moment, six or seven young men and women landed, each with a refined and elegant demeanor, surrounded by auras, and dressed in splendid robes.

The leader, a young man, glared and shouted, "The elders have said that no one should come here lightly. Why did you three ignore the Emei Sect's rules and dare to come here?"
