Chapter 303: I am the Great Hero of Guanzhong
"Brother, you..."
Daoist Tiansong stared blankly at Daoist Tianmen, his joy fading considerably because of Tianmen's tears.
"fine."
Tianmen Daoist shook his head and instructed his fellow disciples, "Collect the body."
"Yes."
The members of the Taishan Sect bowed and said.
Tianmen Daoist turned to look at Jiang Ning: "This time, we owe it all to you."
Jiang Ning didn't kill many people this time, but he made the greatest contribution.
Those four bodyguards from Mount Song were truly top-tier experts. If Jiang Ning hadn't single-handedly killed them all, Tianmen Daoist would have been absolutely no match for them.
It can be said that without Jiang Ning, the Taishan Sect would most likely have been overthrown, all the Taishan disciples of the Tianmen Daoist lineage would have perished, and the Taishan Sect would have fallen into the hands of Tianxin and others.
By then, the Taishan Sect will truly be destroyed.
The Taoist priest from Tianmen was about to perform a grand salute to Jiang Ning.
This favor is too great; no amount of repayment to Jiang Ning would be enough. If Tianmen Daoist were to act out of respect for his elders, he would be ungrateful.
"Master, please don't do this."
Jiang Ning stopped him.
"Zuo Lengchan has the ambition to covet our four sects. The four sects of Huashan, Taishan, Hengshan and Hengshan share the same fate. If the Taishan sect is defeated by the Songshan sect today, my Huashan sect will be no exception. Moreover, the Songshan sect has a grudge against my Huashan sect, so I will not sit idly by."
"Ning Yanwang truly lives up to his name."
Tianmen Daoist looked at Jiang Ning and shook his head.
Jiang Ning corrected him, "Uncle-Master, I am the Great Hero of Guanzhong."
"Don't be modest."
Which martial arts master is so ruthless? None of the people he's killed have been found alive.
Jiang Ning felt somewhat helpless.
The imperial court's token of being a chivalrous hero of Guanzhong was useless; even his own elders only recognized him as the King of Hell.
"Thank you so much for being there this time. I'm not an ungrateful person."
Without dwelling on the issue of titles with Jiang Ning, Tianmen Daoist's expression was solemn.
"When you get back, please tell Sect Leader Yue that the Huashan Sect's assistance to the Taishan Sect is a great kindness that our Tianmen Sect will never forget."
"I still stand by what I said before. No matter what the Five Mountains Sword Sects are like at the Songshan Alliance Leader Conference in June, I will always support Sect Leader Yue as the Alliance Leader. In addition, whenever the Huashan Sect needs anything in the future, as long as it is not something immoral, my Tianmen Daoist and the Taishan Sect will be there in person at the first opportunity."
The Taoist of Tianmen spoke very solemnly and resolutely.
Some people's promises are worthless, while others' promises are more valuable than a thousand pieces of gold.
The Taoist of Tianmen is just like that.
Tianmen is a rigid, serious, and meticulous person; his promises are absolutely beyond question.
"If the Huashan Sect has any needs, our Taishan Sect will certainly come in person!"
Daoist Tiansong and other Taishan School masters of the Tian generation also bowed and paid their respects.
"On behalf of my master, the Huashan Sect, and the Taishan Sect, I would like to express my gratitude to all my senior uncles and aunts for their support."
Jiang Ning didn't stand on ceremony and returned the greeting with a cupped hand.
With Tianmen Daoren's words, the relationship between the Taishan Sect and the Huashan Sect will become even closer than before.
"Ah."
Tianmen Daoist nodded.
He liked Jiang Ning's unpretentious personality.
After speaking, Tianmen Daoist also took matters into his own hands and began collecting the bodies of his disciples.
In this upheaval at Mount Tai, all the experts of the Songshan Sect were wiped out. All the Mount Tai disciples who wanted to betray the sect, from Tianxin and Tianyi to the more than one hundred disciples, were expelled from the sect. However, Tianmen Daoist also lost many disciples.
"Senior brother, what should we do with their bodies?"
Taoist Tiansong leaned over and said.
He was referring to Tianxin and the corpses of those traitorous Taishan disciples.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Tianmen Daoist fell silent. After a moment, he said, "Bury it."
Master Tiansong understood his meaning.
The Taishan Sect has an ancestral land used to bury its members, but Tianxin and his group have already betrayed the sect and cannot be buried in the ancestral land.
However, since they were once disciples of Mount Tai, the Taoist of Tianmen could not leave their bodies exposed in the wilderness. He buried them on another mountain, which was considered a fellow discipleship.
After understanding what Tianmen Daoist meant, Tiansong asked again, "What about them?"
At this point, he was referring to the four men from Zhongzhen and the corpses of the twenty-odd people.
The Heavenly Gate Taoist's expression quickly turned cold.
“Cut off their heads, process them properly, put them in a box, and send them to Zuo Lengchan when we go to Songshan in June.”
Tianmen Daoist's voice was extremely cold, but Tiansong Daoist's expression brightened.
"Yes, senior brother!"
Anyway, when the Taishan Sect goes to Songshan in June, they're going to confront the Songshan Sect. They'll bring the heads of Zuo Lengchan's junior brothers with them. Just imagining Zuo Lengchan's expression at that time makes Tiansong Daoren feel relieved.
Without much talk, Daoist Tiansong led several disciples of Mount Tai into the hall and came out a short while later, looking bewildered.
"Senior brother, we can't find Zhongzhen's head."
Tianmen Daoist, who was still thinking about confronting Zuo Lengchan in June, looked at Jiang Ning upon hearing this: "Where did you kick Zhong Zhen's head?"
"Uh……"
Jiang Ning looked somewhat embarrassed: "I stomped on it and it broke."
"?"
Tianmen Daoren and Tiansong looked at him strangely.
"Forget about Zhongzhen, just deal with the other three."
Tianmen Daoist waved his hand, and Tiansong nodded and went back into the hall.
"No wonder people outside call you King Yama Ning, that title is really fitting."
Tianmen Daoist looked at Jiang Ningdao.
Jiang Ning corrected, "Uncle-Master, I am now the Great Hero of Guanzhong."
"never mind."
Tianmen Daoist shook his head.
Jiang Ning gave up the struggle.
There were more than two hundred corpses lying on the ground. It took a long time to deal with the corpses, and it wasn't finished until evening.
Besides those who died, many disciples of the Tianmen lineage from Mount Tai were also injured, some seriously, and some only slightly.
At this moment, the disciples of Mount Tai were sitting on the steps and open ground outside the main hall, silently eating their dinner.
The bodies on the ground had already been moved, but large patches of blood remained, leaving the ground a deep red and the air thick with the stench of blood.
"When are you planning to leave?"
Tianmen Daoist sat on a stone step, took a mouthful of rice from his bowl, and asked Jiang Ning, who was standing next to him.
"Leave tomorrow."
Jiang Ning replied.
"So fast?"
The Taoist priest of Tianmen was somewhat surprised.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Actually, I planned to say goodbye to my senior master today, but I didn't expect this to happen. Now that things are over, I plan to leave tomorrow."
He came down the mountain in the last few days of February, and he had at most four months to get out. It's already April, and if Jiang Ning doesn't leave soon, there won't be enough time.
"Ok."
Tianmen Daoist nodded. Since Jiang Ning had said so, he couldn't persuade him to stay any longer.
The next day.
"Uncle-Master, there's no need to see me off any further."
Jiang Ning said to the Taoist of Tianmen.
By this time, Jiang Ning had already traveled several miles away from Mount Tai, and Tianmen Daoist had not yet returned after escorting him so far.
"Safe travels."
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Tianmen Daoist also offered some words of advice.
"Be careful when you're out in the world, and don't fall into other people's traps."
"Don't worry, Uncle-Master."
Jiang Ning smiled and then cupped his hands in greeting to the Taoist Tianmen.
"Senior Uncle, farewell."
The Taoist priest from Tianmen returned the greeting with a bow.
Jiang Ning turned and left.
Chapter 304: Ren Woxing
Hangzhou.
Inside a grand mansion.
Main hall.
"what!!!!"
A middle-aged man screamed in agony as a hand covered his head, and wisps of colorless energy emanated from his head.
These auras did not dissipate; instead, they gathered in the palm of the hand above the head and then disappeared.
"Uh……"
The middle-aged man let out an unconscious groan, and his face visibly paled.
A thin man standing nearby watched this scene, trembling.
"put……"
The middle-aged man let out a wail, his voice broken and intermittent, as if it had been cut off.
"Spare my life..."
No matter how much the middle-aged man begged for mercy, there was no response.
After a while.
The hand on the middle-aged man's head finally loosened, and the middle-aged man was now a corpse, lying on the ground with shriveled skin, his death extremely gruesome.
"father."
At that moment, a woman's voice rang out.
Ren Yingying looked at the figure sitting in the chair.
"Everything has been arranged, and we can go to Hebei at any time."
