Chapter 56: The Herbalist is Charming (Fifty-three)

When she returned to the inn, Meng Yi had already returned. She was pleasantly surprised and expressed concern for him.

Meng Yi had a smooth trip here. He did not confront Renault and the others head-on, but secretly drugged them. The result surprised Meng Yi.

Meng Yi: "As the leader of the Thunder Tiger Hall, Lei Nuo may not be very famous in the martial arts world, but he is not an unknown figure. This sinister villain actually defected to the Western Region Demon Cult!"

Qingli: "Demon Cult?"

Meng Yi began to explain the affairs of the Demon Cult to Li Li.

The Demonic Cult originated in the Western Regions. As its followers grew, one of its leaders gradually expanded its influence into the Central Plains. They favored slaughter and plunder, acting on impulse, and recruited numerous enemies of righteousness, many of whom were extremely treacherous and evil. The Central Plains martial arts community long sought to eradicate the Demonic Cult, but their efforts proved unsuccessful. Then, the daughter of the current Demonic Cult leader fell in love with a knight-errant, bringing disaster upon the cult.

Qingli: "Disaster? Could it be that the righteousness of the martial arts world does not allow them to be together?"

Meng Yi: "That's right. The knight didn't know the woman's identity until they became lovers. He then decided to retire from the martial arts world with her."

Meng Yi: "It's a pity that neither the Demon Cult Leader nor the Knight's Master would allow it."

Qingli: "The ending must be tragic."

Meng Yi: "The Demon Cult leader is cruel by nature. He believes that the righteous are a bunch of hypocrites, and he enjoys torturing their disciples. Under his leadership, the Demon Cult has become increasingly hostile to the righteous and merciless."

Meng Yi: "The Demon Cult and the Righteous Path have a deep-seated grudge against each other, and neither side can tolerate the other. No one approves of the Demon Cult leader's daughter being with a martial arts hero. The Demon Cult leader has repeatedly tried to kill his daughter's lover and take her back to the Demon Cult."

Meng Yi: "In the end, the knight died saving the woman, and the woman committed suicide out of love. The martial arts community besieged the demonic sect, and the leader was seriously injured. He returned to the Western Regions with his daughter's body and the remaining members of his group."

Qingli: "Alas! Such a happy ending for a pair of lovers."

Meng Yi: "Perhaps in the end, they both felt relieved. After all, they had been struggling endlessly between love and righteousness."

Qingli: "I hope... we won't have such a day!"

Meng Yi: "No."

Meng Yi hugged Li Li tightly and comforted her.

She held Meng Yi in her arms, thinking about the combination of the holy lady of the demon sect and the chivalrous knight. It turned out that these were Leng Yu's parents!

Qingli: "Did they leave any children behind?"

Meng Yi: "This... I've never heard that they have children!"

Qingli: "What's the name of the Saint? And the Knight?"

Meng Yi: "It seems... the Saint is called Su Yu'er, and the Knight is called Leng Shuo. Speaking of which, my mother's surname is Leng and her given name is Qing. What a coincidence!"

Meng Yi smiled as he spoke. His mother lived a secluded life and people usually called her Madam Meng. He and his father were probably the only ones who knew her mother's name.

Qingli: "Oh? What a coincidence! I just happened to meet someone with the surname Leng on the street today! The surname Leng is not very common!"

She agreed with a smile, "That's no coincidence! It seems the grudges of the previous generation have been carried over to the next. So that's why!" She wondered why, in the original book, Meng Chang and Meng Yi were tortured to death, while Madam Meng was sent safely to a safe place to live in seclusion.

Meng Yi: "Really? What a coincidence! Who is he?"

Who? Your enemy and cousin! But she couldn't say it.

Qingli: "Let's not talk about him for now. I'll talk about it in detail later."

Meng Yi: "Why are you still so secretive? Then let me continue with the story of the Western Region Demon Cult. Since their last defeat, they haven't set foot in the Central Plains for over twenty years. It seems they are preparing to make a comeback."

Qingli: "Did Renault reveal who was in charge of the cult? What evil deeds did Renault do?"

Meng Yi: "It's funny, even though Renault is so treacherous and cunning, he can still be deceived. He has done a lot for the Demon Cult, and his hands are stained with blood, but he still indulges in women. The leader he met was a woman dressed in red, and Renault fell in love with her. On the surface, he was respectful and willing to be her servant. I drugged him and asked him what he was thinking. He wanted to win the woman's heart and control the Demon Cult, so that he could not only win the beauty but also gain a lot of power."

Meng Yi: "But he's such a fool, keeping a woman's handkerchief close to his body, not knowing it was his death warrant!"

Meng Yi scoffed. How could this demonic beauty be so easily coveted? This Renault still wanted to possess his Li'er, so he should be killed by women!

Qingli: "The leader of the demonic cult is a woman? Impossible, right?"
