The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

She didn't understand why.

Qu Yang's eyes were filled with tears.

"After I joined the Sun Moon Cult, I did many things and killed many people. Whether you call it right or wrong, I don't care."

"The leader and the Holy Maiden value me highly and have promoted me to the rank of elder. Qu Yang has always remembered the leader's great kindness. No matter what, as long as the leader and the Holy Maiden give an order, Qu Yang will go through fire and water without hesitation, even at the cost of his life."

"But Qu Yang has few close friends in this world, only Liu Zhengfeng."

"The leader and the Holy Maiden can kill whoever they want, including me, or even Fei Yan. As long as the leader and the Holy Maiden give the order, Qu Yang will not hesitate."

"But Liu Zhengfeng is the only one who won't do."

"Only Liu Zhengfeng is not good enough!"

Chapter 736: The Death of Ren Yingying

When Liu Zhengfeng was being tortured to the point of wishing he were dead, Qu Yang stood by without saying a word, and his expression didn't change much.

But Qu Yang's heart was bleeding.

He knew that if he pleaded for Liu Zhengfeng, he would lose the trust of Ren Woxing and his daughter. He had to remain silent and not reveal anything in order to have a chance to save Liu Zhengfeng or avenge him.

Hearing Qu Yang's words, Ren Yingying felt utterly absurd.

She had instructed Qu Yang to deliberately approach Liu Zhengfeng, but unexpectedly Qu Yang developed genuine feelings and regarded Liu Zhengfeng as his lifelong confidant, which led to her falling into Jiang Ning's hands.

They truly trapped themselves in their own web.

Jiang Ning remained indifferent, and slightly twisted his fingers to turn Ren Yingying's face towards him.

The two looked at each other.

"Where is Uncle Liu?"

Ren Yingying looked at the face so close to hers and managed a weak smile.

"dream."

Ren Yingying is indeed very beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful. Even at this moment, her beauty is not diminished in the slightest, but has gained a unique charm.

Ren Yingying knew that she could escape before, but now that she had fallen into Jiang Ning's hands, she basically had no chance of surviving. No matter what she did, Jiang Ning would not let her go.

How could she possibly do as Jiang Ning wished?

Jiang Ning looked at Ren Yingying's face and suddenly smiled.

"hehe."

Those familiar with Jiang Ning or those killed by him know that when Jiang Ning smiles under these circumstances, it is also when his killing intent is at its strongest.

Ren Yingying looked at Jiang Ning's face and the extremely cold killing intent in his eyes, but she was not afraid.

boom!

Just as Jiang Ning was about to kill Ren Yingying, the door suddenly broke open, and a series of footsteps sounded outside.

Jiang Ning and Ren Yingying both looked towards the door at the same time.

At this moment, a large number of members of the Demonic Cult had surrounded the area outside.

Ren Woxing took a step forward, his gaze cold.

He was the one who broke the door just now.

At this moment, Ren Woxing also saw the situation inside the room. Ren Yingying was being held by Jiang Ning, and Qu Yang was standing by the window.

Ren Woxing looked at Qu Yang, his voice cold.

"Qu Yang, I have treated you well, why would you betray me?"

"The leader."

Qu Yang's taste is bitter.

"I will never forget the great kindness of the leader, but I beg the leader to spare Liu Zhengfeng's life."

Ren Woxing's expression grew even colder.

"So it was all because of Liu Zhengfeng."

Jiang Ning carried Ren Yingying outside, and the members of the Demonic Cult surrounding the area instantly tensed up.

They had heard of Ning Yanwang's reputation more than once; he had risen to fame by stepping over their corpses.

Jiang Ning looked at Ren Woxing, and Ren Woxing was also looking at Jiang Ning.

"Bring Liu Zhengfeng here."

Ren Woxing looked coldly at Jiang Ning, then gave orders to his subordinates.

A moment later, Liu Zhengfeng was brought over by several followers.

Jiang Ning's gaze sharpened when he saw Liu Zhengfeng.

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng looked extremely miserable. His shoulders were pierced by hooks, his clothes were stained dark red with blood, and his face was deathly pale.

Liu Zhengfeng also saw Jiang Ning, and his expression immediately became excited. He quickly shouted at Jiang Ning.

"Go quickly, don't worry about me!"

His followers tried to silence him, but Ren Woxing gestured that they didn't need to.

Ren Woxing smiled and said, "You have guts; you really dared to come here alone."

Jiang Ning said coldly.

"Let him go."

"hehe."

Ren Woxing laughed.

"I can release Liu Zhengfeng, but only if you cripple your martial arts. I will keep my word."

"No!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengfeng immediately shouted.

Qu Yang couldn't help but look at Jiang Ning with some urgency.

He feared that Jiang Ning would really do as Ren Woxing wished and cripple their martial arts, then they would be truly finished.

Jiang Ning remained silent with a cold expression, but pulled Ren Yingying in front of him and tightened his grip on her hands slightly, causing Ren Yingying to struggle painfully.

Jiang Ning's meaning was clear: it was impossible for him to cripple his own martial arts.

In this situation, crippling his martial arts skills is tantamount to death, not to mention that Ren Yingying is still in his hands.

"Ren Yingying's life is in my hands. Do you want her to live or die?"

Ren Woxing's smile faded, and his brows furrowed.

Ren Yingying also turned her gaze to Ren Woxing.

She couldn't speak, but if Ren Woxing was willing to speak, she would have a chance to live.

"No one can threaten me."

Ren Woxing looked coldly at Jiang Ning.

“However, Yingying is indeed in your hands. I can promise you that if you release my daughter first, I will return Liu Zhengfeng to you.”

Jiang Ning remained unmoved.

Ren Woxing's face turned cold.

"What? You don't want to?"

"Junior Nephew Jiang, don't agree to him!"

Liu Zhengfeng shouted towards Jiang Ning.

"I, Liu Zhengfeng, am a sinner. I have failed the ancestors of the Hengshan Sect above and my deceased wife, Yin'er, below. I deserve to die. Don't let that witch go because of me!"

Jiang Ning was silent.

Ren Woxing did not stop Liu Zhengfeng from speaking.

He wanted to use Liu Zhengfeng to shake Jiang Ning's resolve.

After a while.

"Didn't you lure me here under the guise of Uncle Liu just to kill me?"

Jiang Ning spoke, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding demonic sect members.

"Let Qu Yang and Uncle Liu go, and I can stay."

Liu Zhengfeng is seriously injured and cannot go far on his own. He needs someone to take care of him, so Qu Yang must also leave.

"You think you can bargain with this old man?"

Ren Woxing's face darkened.

"I can give you a chance, but you have no room for negotiation."

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning brought up Ren Yingying again.

"Your daughter's life isn't important either?"

Ren Woxing looked at Jiang Ning with a gloomy expression, then at Ren Yingying in his hand, and remained silent.

After a while.

"You really think you can threaten me?"

Ren Woxing sneered.

If Jiang Ning really releases Ren Yingying, then he might consider letting Liu Zhengfeng go. But if Jiang Ning really thinks he can use Ren Yingying to control him, then he is making a big mistake.

"Although Yingying is my daughter, those who achieve great things do not concern themselves with trifles. Once I have great power, I can have countless more children."

"She's just a daughter. You can kill her if you want, but releasing Liu Zhengfeng? Impossible."

Ren Yingying's plan was excellent. If possible, Ren Woxing would still like to save Ren Yingying, but he knew it was impossible.

If one daughter can keep Jiang Ning here, that would be enough.

Even if Ren Yingying dies, it doesn't matter. Once he arrives in the capital, he can train a woman to enter the palace, and things can still proceed as planned.

Ren Yingying was stunned upon hearing this, and forgot to struggle, staring blankly at Ren Woxing.

She had experienced countless betrayals and treachery throughout her life, and had no one to rely on. She thought that after rescuing her father, she would have a precious family bond.

But she never received that family affection.

Ren Woxing's words at that moment were like a sharp blade piercing her heart.

It was even heavier than the sword that flew from Jiang Ning back then.

th.

Nothing could be more perfect than this moment.

"Heh...hehe."

Ren Yingying laughed, a very exaggerated laugh, tears streaming down her face.

What was the purpose of her life?

Seeing Ren Yingying's expression, Ren Woxing's face turned cold.

Their hearts have hardened.

Ren Yingying couldn't help but look at Jiang Ning, her eyes glazed over.

Perhaps, I'll die at his hands...

Not bad?

Ren Woxing's attitude was firm, and Jiang Ning knew that it was impossible to exchange Ren Yingying for Liu Zhengfeng.
