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

Page 161

"Yes, Master."

Seeing the three of them go straight down the mountain, Lu Dayou was a little confused, but he still nodded and said something.

It was already close to dawn, and the sky was still dark, but it didn't affect Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun much. It was just that Feng Buping was being a little more cautious.

It took Jiang Ning and his two companions about half an hour to reach the bottom of the cliff, where they saw what was below.

All the people who had been guarding the back mountain were now completely drunk, lying in front of the campfire fast asleep, with wine jars rolling around on the ground.

The three of them quietly descended the mountain and left. Then, led by Jiang Ning, they arrived at the deep mountain where Emei Qingcheng was located.

When the Qingcheng Taoist priests and Emei disciples who were guarding the foot of the mountain saw Jiang Ning return with two people, they hurriedly went back to call Zhang Quandao and Abbess Qingwei. The two of them rushed over with a group of people to see Jiang Ning.

"Master Jiang, you're finally back."

Jiang Ning didn't return all night, and Zhang Quandao thought something had happened, so he was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

"Amitabha, it is good that Benefactor Jiang has returned safely."

Master Qingwei also said.

"Thank you for your concern, Master Xie and the nun."

Jiang Ning replied, and then introduced Yue Buqun and Feng Buping to the two of them.

"This is my master, Headmaster Yue of the Huashan Sect, and this is my Uncle-Master Feng."

After speaking, Jiang Ning introduced Zhang Quandao, Qingwei, and the others to Yue Buqun and the other man.

"Master, Uncle-Master, this is Master Zhang Quandao, the head of the Qingcheng Sect, and this is Abbess Qingwei of the Emei Sect. This time, it is Abbess Qingwei who led the Emei Sect to support our Huashan Sect."

"Sect Leader Yue, Mr. Feng, I have long admired your names."

Upon seeing that the person who came was the famous Yue Buqun, Zhang Quandao immediately became nervous and hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting.

Abbess Qingwei also bowed solemnly.

"This humble nun greets Sect Leader Yue and Master Feng."

Feng Buping quickly returned the greeting.

Yue Buqun smiled and cupped his hands in gratitude, saying, "I am deeply grateful to everyone for coming to support my Huashan Sect."

Yue Buqun spoke humbly and politely, and had a gentle and refined demeanor, which made Zhang Quandao and the others feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.

But Master Qingwei felt differently.

In her eyes, Yue Buqun was not exuding any aura at this moment, just like an ordinary person. But if you looked closely, you would feel as if you were falling into an abyss. Only when you stopped looking at Yue Buqun would this feeling disappear. When you looked again, Yue Buqun still had the same temperament and smile.

Qingwei felt a chill run down her spine.

If Jiang Ning was someone she couldn't understand before, now Yue Buqun instilled a sense of fear in her.

This is definitely a more powerful expert than her senior sister Qingzhu.

At this moment, Qingwei couldn't help but feel a sense of horror.

If the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, who is at the bottom of the rankings, is this powerful, then the leaders of the other four sects must be even more powerful!

Unaware of Qingwei's inner thoughts, Yue Buqun smiled and asked, "I wonder what strategies you all have for dealing with the current situation of my Huashan Sect?"

"plan?"

Zhang Quandao and Abbess Qingwei exchanged a glance. Zhang Quandao said, "Sect Leader Yue, we are here to assist your sect. Please tell us what to do, and we will cooperate fully."

Not to flatter, but Zhang Quandao and his group were new to Mount Hua and unfamiliar with the surrounding terrain, so it was best for the locals to arrange the tactics.

"This humble nun shares the same thought."

Master Qingwei also said.

"I have a plan for Jiangning."

Yue Buqun didn't mince words and explained Jiangning's plan.

Zhang Quandao and Abbess Qingwei looked at each other in bewilderment.

"This...Master Jiang's plan is good, but how can we be sure that the other party will make such arrangements?"

Zhang Quandao hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Yue Buqun said, "Please rest assured, Daoist, we have an inside agent from our Five Mountains Sword Sect within the enemy ranks. He will cooperate with us when the time comes."

They didn't reveal that Mr. Mo was an undercover agent, because revealing such a thing would have a bad impact on Mr. Mo.

"I see."

Hearing this, Zhang Quandao was finally relieved.

Having an inside man makes things much easier.

"Let's get started without delay."

Now that she had a plan, Abbess Qingwei decided to take action immediately, which shows her decisive and efficient personality.

"Then I'll leave it to you all."

Yue Buqun cupped his hands and bowed deeply to both factions.

"You have traveled a long distance and risked your lives to help my Huashan Sect. I and the Huashan Sect will always remember this kindness."

"If my Huashan Sect overcomes today's difficulties, then in the future, if Qingcheng and Emei need anything, my Huashan Sect will never refuse!"

Upon seeing the sect leader perform such a grand ceremony for them, the group quickly responded.

"Sect Leader Yue, there's no need for that."

"Evil and heretical people should be killed by everyone, so why should Sect Leader Yue express his gratitude?"

Although they felt that Yue Buqun was being overly serious, it did genuinely touch their hearts.

Especially those from the Emei Sect felt that forming an alliance with the Huashan Sect was indeed the right decision.

Without much delay, the people from both Qingcheng and Emei immediately began to take action. Yue Buqun personally led them to choose ambush points, while Jiang Ning went to the enemy camp again to find Master Mo and ask him to cooperate in carrying out the plan.

Before leaving, Yue Buqun said to Jiang Ning, "I have already asked Abbess Qingwei, and we can inform Master Mo and Daoist Tianmen about their matter."

During their conversation, Yue Buqun learned that in addition to assisting the Huashan Sect, the Emei Sect's trip was also an opportunity to inform the world about the changes within their sect.

"it is good."

Jiang Ning nodded and then left.

Watching Jiang Ning's departing figure, Yue Buqun stood on the hillside, his brows furrowed.

By now, the Songshan Sect should have arrived, and if Shaolin and Wudang had heard the news, they should have come as well. But so far, none of these three sects have even shown up.

Leaving aside Shaolin and Wudang, it's a bit unreasonable that Songshan Sect, one of the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, hasn't even arrived yet.

"Could it be that the Songshan Sect has already arrived, but hasn't shown themselves yet, intending to sit back and watch the tigers fight, and then take the opportunity to merge the Five Mountains Sword Sects when the four sects of Huashan, Hengshan, Taishan and Hengshan have fought those evil demons and heretics to the point of heavy casualties?"

Upon considering this possibility, Yue Buqun's face turned cold.

……

Now that it was getting light, Jiang Ning headed to the enemy camp.

He'd been to the enemy's headquarters twice already, so he knew the place well.

Following the original route, Jiang Ning swaggered through the enemy camp.

He changed his appearance, and only people who were particularly familiar with him would recognize him.

By this time, it was already daylight, and many people had woken up from their sleep, yawning and stretching as they came out to move around, completely ignoring Jiang Ning.

"Wait a moment."

As he was passing through a passageway on Jiangning Road, someone called out to him from behind.

"Who are you? You look a little unfamiliar."

A muscular man with a bare upper body looked at Jiang Ning with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Ning turned to look at him and smiled.

Chapter 229 Born to die, never to return

"I'm not from here. I'm just passing through and have been ordered by the gang leader to report important matters to Master Jia."

"Is it important?"

The strong, muscular man was even more puzzled.

They just stay home all day, eating and playing, what important things could they possibly have to do?

"What's the important matter?"

Jiang Ning calmly said, "We are running out of food, and the gang leader asked me to discuss this matter with Master Jia."

"Oh, that is indeed an important matter."

The strong, muscular man nodded.

Having stayed at the foot of Mount Hua for so long, they all knew that food was running out.

Seeing that he didn't ask any more questions, Jiang Ning turned to leave, but was called back again.

"Which gang are you from, brother?"

"What's it to you? Are you a chatterbox?"

"Hey, how dare you talk to me like that? Can't I even ask you a question?"

Seeing Jiang Ning's arrogant attitude, the strong man got excited: "You're not leaving until you explain yourself."

Seeing that the man was persistent, Jiang Ning looked around and, finding no one else, laughed at the burly man.

"Come here, I'll tell you."

"Come here, I'm afraid of you."

The burly man muttered something and then tried to walk over.

"Xiao Jiang, what are you doing here?"

Just as Jiang Ning was about to kill the chatterbox on the spot, a voice sounded from behind him.

Mr. Mo walked over.

"Master Jia, the gang leader sent me to see you. He has something urgent to report."

Upon seeing Mr. Mo arrive, Jiang Ning abandoned his intention to attack and bowed respectfully.

"I see."

Mr. Mo nodded and said, "Then you can come back with me."

"Master Jia, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I thought this person was of unknown origin, I didn't expect you to know him."

The strong, muscular man quickly clasped his hands in apology.

"fine."

Master Mo chuckled, then dismissed the man and had Jiang Ning follow behind him.

"You're so bold, walking around here so openly."

Mr. Mo walked ahead, his voice extremely low.

Jiang Ning laughed and said, "The most dangerous place is also the safest place."

By going against the grain, these people never expected Jiang Ning to appear in their stronghold, and to walk so arrogantly.

Master Mo stopped talking and returned to his tent, where Liu Qin was not present.

"What's going on? Why are you looking for me again so soon?"

Mr. Mo looked serious.

“My master has already agreed to the previous plan.”

Jiang Ning explained their plans and also told Master Mo about the Emei Sect.

"What? The orthodox Emei sect?"
