Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

"Of course. Anyone who is kind and good can sit in my seat!"

Without a second thought, Bai Yue nodded seriously.

"Young friend Bai judges good and evil by his actions; his heart and thoughts are truly pure and rare..."

Master Yinian subtly changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of an elder's reminder to a younger generation.

"The world is vast, and people's hearts are unpredictable. The complexities of life often go far beyond black and white. I only hope that you can both keep the sincerity in your heart and understand the dangers of the world, and move forward with care."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will keep it in mind."

Faced with this tactful admonition, Bai Yue bowed in gratitude.

Master Yinian nodded, then turned to the crowd below the stage and announced loudly.

"At this point, all the agendas of this martial arts conference have officially concluded! Fellow practitioners may temporarily set up camp around Zixiao Temple for a short rest. Regarding the specific matters concerning the campaign against the Demonic Sect, I will immediately discuss them with Master Mo and Master Yuwen. Once the plan is finalized, it will be announced to the public for unified command."

His gaze then turned to Mo Qingyan and Yuwen Xiao, as if seeking their opinions.

"What are your thoughts, gentlemen?"

Mo Qingyan and Yuwen Xiao exchanged a glance but did not answer immediately. Instead, they both turned their gazes to Bai Yue on the arena.

After all, the other side looks really "outnumbered and outmatched". They don't want to fail to wipe out the Voodoo Cult and end up being the lambs to the slaughter.

"You two seniors need not worry about me. In the matter of eradicating the Voodoo Cult, having too many people might alert them. I have my own plans and only need capable people with the same goals to help me."

Bai Yue understood their concerns and said with a smile.

At this moment, Mo Sijin, who had been silently observing, suddenly stepped forward and spoke to Mo Qingyan.

“Grandmother! Since Brother Dazhuang needs capable people, why don’t we let our grand-nephew go with her to the Voodoo Cult? In this way, our Sword Forging Manor will have people involved in eradicating the Voodoo Cult and the Demonic Cult, which will not betray our friendship with the righteous allies and will not tarnish the reputation of our Sword Forging Manor!”

"Yeah, Senior Brother, aren't our two rascals also going with Alliance Leader Bai to wipe out the Voodoo Cult?"

Yuwen Cheng walked to Yuwen Xiao's side and spoke with a smile.

"In this way, it means that people from both sides of Feiyun Manor are involved, so that we can neither delay the exorcism nor neglect the great cause of eradicating the Voodoo Cult!"

Yuwen Xiao nodded, his gaze towards Bai Yue becoming more solemn.

"In that case, let Aze and Ayi gain more experience. We will need Alliance Leader Bai's guidance in case of any problems."

"Don't worry, Master Yuwen, I will definitely protect them."

As soon as Bai Yue finished speaking, Ling Xi, despite her injuries, spoke up.

"Since that's the case, then let my disciple Ruoxu accompany...accompany...cough cough cough..."

She was interrupted by a violent cough before she could finish her sentence. Lingyou quickly stepped forward to support her and continued the conversation.

"Junior Sister means that Ruoxu should go with Alliance Leader Bai. This can be considered as our Zixiao Temple contributing our modest efforts to eradicate the Witchcraft Cult!"

"This junior thanks you both for your kindness! With Daoist Ruoxu accompanying us, the task of eradicating the Voodoo Cult will surely proceed much more smoothly."

Bai Yue was overjoyed to hear this, after all, Ruoxu was the key to her infiltrating the Voodoo Cult.

Seeing that his two disciples were pale, Master Yinian quickly and gently advised them.

"Lingxi and Lingyou, you two should go back and rest. You don't need to get involved in eliminating the Demonic Sect. Just focus on recovering from your injuries."

"No, Master! The demonic cultists are treacherous and cunning. Please allow your disciple... to stay by your side and protect you... cough cough cough..."

Lingxi was so anxious that she wanted to argue, but she choked on her cough and couldn't speak.

"Alright, alright, looking like this, you think you can protect your master? You should be doing him a favor by not causing him any trouble."

Upon seeing this, Fu Wenzhu immediately took out silver needles to perform acupuncture on her, saying helplessly as she did so.

"Now that I've left the mountain, I'll accompany my junior brother to meet Hua Yixiao."

Upon hearing this, Master Yinian's eyes flashed with excitement.

"Senior brother, are you really willing to join me in defeating the demonic sect?"

"Of course, not only will Grandpa go, but I will go with him!"

Before Fu Wenzhu could speak, Fu Xiuyu leaned over and then smiled at Lu Wangyou.

"Junior brother, why don't you go to the Voodoo Cult with Alliance Leader Bai? That way, our Forget-Worry Valley can benefit from the righteous cause on both sides, without being biased!"

"it is good!"

Lu Wangyou smiled and nodded, clearly agreeing with Fu Xiuyu's statement.

Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Mo Qingyan turned to Master Yinian and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Master, I am willing to join forces with you to vanquish the evil cult!"

Yuwen Sa nodded and said to Master Yinian.

"Our Flying Cloud Manor is naturally duty-bound to obey your command, Master!"

"Good! Very good!"

A look of satisfaction appeared on the other person's face, and then he bowed to the two people and Fu Wenzhu.

"In that case, I would like to invite the two lords and senior brothers to come with me to the temple for a chat and to discuss important matters."

"Yes!"

The four reached a consensus and did not delay any longer. Master Yinian bowed slightly to the crowd below the stage and then, together with Mo Qingyan, Yuwen Xiao, and Fu Wenzhu, used their lightness skills to head towards the main hall of Zixiao Temple.

The other disciples of the three upper sects also left, leaving only Mo Sijin, Lu Wangyou, and Fu Xiuyu standing in place.

"Now that the martial arts masters have left, it's awkward for us who are in the middle to stand here. We might as well go back first, make our own plans, and wait for... instructions from above."

Murong Chuan deliberately emphasized the word "above," clearly expressing his dissatisfaction with the situation where the three upper sects made all the decisions, and they could only follow orders.

"Well, we're not exactly in a good position, but at least we have a lot of people!"

Chen Jinlong immediately replied in a sarcastic tone.

"How about the Six Middle Sects—oh, no, now that Suxian Palace has chosen a 'wise ruler,' it should be called the 'Five Middle Sects.' Why don't the members of the Five Middle Sects get together with us from the Nine Lower Gangs and have a proper 'discussion' about how we should better follow orders from above when we're eliminating the Demonic Sect?"

Surprisingly, this cryptic statement garnered considerable support.

Soon, all the prominent figures except for Suxian Palace and Thunder Gang, along with their respective subordinates, prepared to leave this "place of trouble".

Before leaving, Murong Chuan deliberately raised his voice and sarcastically "blessed" the arena.

"Alliance Leader Bai! You are a man of great righteousness and young talent. We... will be watching closely as you conquer the Voodoo Cult!"

He emphasized "acting leader" and "wait and see" so much that anyone could hear the mockery and pessimism in his words.

"Brother Murong, why would the White Dynasty Alliance Leader need to 'conquer'? He's probably going to 'reclaim' it!"

Chen Jinlong, not to be outdone, responded with a strange laugh.

"Aren't those barbarians the most superstitious about gods and ghosts? Seeing the 'heavenly beauty' of the White Era Alliance Leader, they might get so excited that they mistake her for their queen bee descended to earth! In that case, the White Era Alliance Leader won't even need to lift a finger; she can just raise her arm and the Voodoo Cult will bow down in worship. Wouldn't that be wonderful? Hahaha!"

As soon as he finished speaking, others joined in the commotion.

"Perhaps even that so-called cult leader Yang Yumo would be eager to become a maid for the White Dynasty Alliance Leader! Our White Dynasty Alliance Leader, this is truly 'subduing the enemy without fighting,' brilliant, truly brilliant!"

These malicious jokes immediately drew laughter from their group, while Su Ling Shuang turned pale with anger and shouted angrily.

"You...you bunch of bastards who can't utter a single decent word! Shut up! You have no idea how amazing Brother Dazhuang is!"

"Oh, we're not women, so naturally we can't 'understand' just how 'powerful' the White Era Alliance Leader really is!"

Feng Wanchang of the Dark River Society drew out his voice in a sarcastic tone.

"Palace Master Su, your protectiveness suggests you have experienced similar situations firsthand? Hahaha!"
