Chapter 854: Hide with peace of mind, just a small effort

"It was just a small effort." Su Hang smiled slightly.

Zhou Zhiruo bit her lip lightly. "Since that is the case, Big Brother Su, I will accept it."

"Young Master Su, your great kindness is something Zhiruo will never forget for as long as I live." Zhou Zhiruo bowed solemnly to Su Hang, then turned her head and instructed the four female disciples, "You few, transport the Soul-Withered Tree wood down the mountain and send it to the sect."

"As you command."

The four replied, quickly lifted the Soul-Withered Tree wood, and headed toward the mountain gate. As they were leaving, Zhou Zhiruo could not help but glance at Su Hang again, her expression somewhat complex.

"Big Brother Su, thank you." After the Soul-Withered Tree wood was taken away, Zhou Zhiruo turned her head to look at Su Hang, her cheeks slightly red.

Su Hang smiled faintly. "Miss Zhiruo, we are just casual acquaintances; there is no need for thanks. Besides, I only did what I was capable of."

"Big Brother Su, what exactly was the martial art you just used?" Zhou Zhiruo could not help but ask.

Su Hang nodded slightly. "The Six Meridian Divine Sword."

Zhou Zhiruo's eyes lit up, revealing some surprise. "So Big Brother Su is an expert in the Six Meridian Divine Sword; excuse my ignorance. No wonder you were able to smash the Soul-Withered Tree with one punch just now. That is a thousand-year-old demon; ordinary martial masters would find it hard to shake it even a little, yet you, Big Brother Su, were able to shake it with your mortal flesh!"

"Hehe, just luck." Su Hang smiled modestly.

"Big Brother Su, you don't need to be so modest." Zhou Zhiruo smiled. "If I hadn't met you today, Big Brother Su, I'm afraid I would have been killed by the Mo Sect people long ago."

Su Hang sighed slightly. "The Mo Sect has mobilized their entire nest this time; they must be preparing for a major purge of Mount Emei. I advise you, Miss, to avoid their sharp edge for the time being."

"Avoid?"

Zhou Zhiruo frowned. Her father was critically ill in bed; how could she hide with peace of mind?

Su Hang said, "Miss, forgive me for being blunt. Although the Emei Sect has a deep foundation, the Mo Sect is not just a name. In terms of strength alone, they may not lose to Emei. Now that a righteous-evil war is imminent, if they seize the opportunity, they will definitely cause fatal damage to Emei. Where will you go then, Miss?"

Zhou Zhiruo was silent upon hearing this. How could she not know the situation Su Hang mentioned? Emei today could be described as precarious; if the Mo Sect took advantage of the situation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Zhiruo, listen to Brother Su and avoid the limelight for now, then make a comeback after the Emei Sect recovers..." Zhang Xiaoling, who was beside her, grabbed Zhou Zhiruo's arm and persuaded her. In her view, Su Hang was a savior descended to the world; since Su Hang had said so, she certainly agreed.

Zhou Zhiruo bit her silver teeth, but in the end, she could not resist the persuasion of her sisters and nodded. "Then, Big Brother Su, Zhiruo bids you farewell."

After saying this, she cupped her fists at Su Hang along with her sisters, and the five of them hurried down the mountain.

"Young Master, what should we do now?"

Watching Zhou Zhiruo and the others leave, Zhang Wuji turned to look at Su Hang.

Su Hang touched the tip of his nose. "What else can we do? Of course, run away quickly."

Su Hang thought to himself that he was still on Mount Emei; if the Mo Sect noticed him, it would inevitably lead to another entanglement. The strength of that guy really made Su Hang feel wary.

"Then, Young Master's injuries..." Zhang Wuji said with concern.

Su Hang smiled. "Don't worry, mere injuries are nothing."

Zhang Wuji frowned but did not say anything.

"Let's go, let's slip away while it's dark." ===== CHAPTER 856 =====
