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

Page 518

One of them leaned on their shoulders and said.

The group still looked bewildered.

……

While Jiang Ning was leading his men to clear out the demonic cult members hiding in other caves, inside the main cave...

"Reporting to the elder, preparations are complete."

The three approached an elder and bowed.

The elder looked at the three people's faces, then at the three corpses on the ground, and nodded.

"Yes, they are exactly the same."

The elder looked at the three of them and asked, "Do you know what to say to Yue Buqun when you enter the righteous sect's camp?"

"know."

One of them replied, "At that time, I will tell Yue Buqun that there are people from our Divine Sect stationed at Yinping Mountain, and then lure them into the ambush point."

Chapter 707: The Demonic Cult's Ambush

"Ah."

The elder nodded, indicating that they could leave.

The three men walked out of the cave and were spotted by martial arts figures from Jiangning who were observing from the shadows.

"Look, aren't they the same people who went up the mountain to scout ahead? How did they get out of there?"

One of them said in a low voice.

"This place is full of people from the Demonic Sect. They came out unharmed. Did they surrender to the Demonic Sect?"

The other person was filled with doubt and surprise.

"Then what should we do? Stop them and ask what's going on?"

At this point, someone made a decision: "Let's take them down first."

Having made their decision, the group prepared to act, and after following the three men for a short distance, they immediately revealed themselves.

"who?"

The sudden attack by the group caught the three off guard. They shouted for help, but were quickly subdued.

"let me go!"

"Who are you? Let me go!"

The three struggled and tried to shout, but a man held a dagger to their necks and told them to shut up.

"Weren't you sent into the mountains to scout ahead by Alliance Leader Yue? What are you doing here?"

One person interrogated him.

The three immediately understood who they were, and one of them quickly said, "We have discovered that the Demonic Sect is lying in ambush, and we are just about to go back to report to Alliance Leader Yue."

"Yes, we're all on the same side, let us go!"

The other two also chimed in.

"Humph."

No one believed the three men. One of the men sneered, "Don't try to fool us. Do you really think we don't know? We brothers have been following you ever since you came out of the Demonic Sect's cave. That cave was full of Demonic Sect members. You came out of there without being discovered? And without a single injury?"

After saying that, the man shouted sternly, "Why don't you confess honestly who you are?"

The three people being interrogated turned pale upon hearing this. They hadn't expected to be exposed and were momentarily at a loss for words.

"Ok?"

One of the men noticed something was wrong. He groped around on one of the men's faces and seemed to feel something under the man's ear. He then pinched and pulled, and a human skin mask was pulled off.

"It's a disguise technique; they're from the Demonic Cult!"

The face beneath the mask made the others realize what was happening, and they immediately tore off the masks from the other two people as well, revealing unfamiliar faces underneath.

"Say!"

One of them stepped forward and kicked them over, shouting, "What are you trying to do, disguised as our people? Tell us everything, or we'll kill you!"

"Don't kill us, don't kill us."

"I said, I said."

The three members of the demonic sect turned ashen-faced and trembled with fear. They immediately revealed the entire plan.

"Humph!"

Several men were enraged upon hearing this and raised their knives to kill the three men, but were stopped by the others.

"Don't kill these three yet. We'll deal with them when King Ning returns."

The three escaped for the time being. The group tied them up and threw them into the bushes, then continued to monitor the cave they were responsible for from the shadows.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ning and his team of over two hundred people were nearing the end of clearing the dozen or so scattered caves.

"kill!!!"

A man swiftly wielded his knife and felled a member of the demonic sect to the ground.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

Seeing that their own side had been almost completely wiped out, with only a few remaining members of the Demonic Cult terrified, they kept kowtowing and begging for mercy from Jiang Ning.

"We were forced into this situation, please let us go, King Ning."

One person wept bitterly and begged for mercy frantically.

call out!call out!call out!

Several flashes of sword light appeared, and the cries for mercy from the men abruptly ceased.

Jiang Ning sheathed his sword and turned around. At this moment, the cave was filled with corpses.

"Ning Yanwang, it's all been cleaned up."

A shirtless man spoke to Jiang Ning, his knife now stained with blood.

Jiang Ning nodded and looked at everyone.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Everyone quickly replied.

"Where."

"It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path."

“If it weren’t for King Ning, our brothers would have been injured or killed. It should be King Ning who has suffered the hardship.”

"Yeah yeah."

Everyone said.

They had witnessed Jiang Ning's formidable power during the battle just now; if it weren't for Jiang Ning, many of them would have died.

At this moment, the giant python straightened up at the front and sneezed, its enormous body appearing somewhat crowded in the cave.

A hint of fear lingered in everyone's eyes as they looked at it.

The giant python rampaging through the cave during the battle was quite a shock. If they hadn't been certain that the python was friendly, they would have wanted to run away as well.

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Ning addressed the crowd.

By now, all the members of the Demonic Cult hidden in these dozen or so scattered caves have been cleared out, leaving only the cave containing thousands of Demonic Cult members, which awaits Yue Buqun to lead the main force to wipe out.

Jiang Ning led everyone back to their original spot, whereupon someone reported that they had captured three disguised members of the Demonic Cult.

“Ning Yanwang, it’s these three. They intend to disguise themselves as the three brothers who haven’t returned and lure Alliance Leader Yue into their ambush.”

The men who captured the three brought them to Jiang Ning to report the intelligence.

Jiang Ning frowned upon hearing this.

According to these three men, they not only had thousands of soldiers hidden in Yinping Mountain, but also thousands more members of the Demonic Cult had set up an ambush after they passed Yinping Mountain, waiting for them to take the bait. At that time, all the members of the Demonic Cult hidden in the Yinping Mountain cave complex would come out to surround them from the front and back, and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"King Yama, please don't kill us."

"We know we were wrong, but we were forced into this situation."

The three men knew Jiang Ning's identity and begged for mercy from him.

Jiang Ning ignored their pleas for mercy and pondered a solution.

Just then, shouts rang out from not far away.

Jiang Ning turned his head and saw Yue Buqun leading a large group of people.

"Ning'er."

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Yue Buqun strode quickly to Jiang Ning's side.

"Ning'er, did you hear from Mr. Ji that the cave system in Yinping Mountain really harbors members of the Demonic Cult?"

"That's right, Master."

Putting aside his thoughts, Jiang Ning answered Yue Buqun's question and also told Yue Buqun the information provided by the three men.

Yue Buqun frowned upon hearing this.

Fortunately, they were cautious enough, otherwise they might have suffered heavy losses.

"Alliance Leader, let's make our move!"

Knowing that many members of the Demonic Cult were hiding in the Yinping Mountain cave, Tianmen Daoist couldn't resist the urge to take action.

"We'll split our forces to clear out those caves, then combine our forces to storm this cave and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing Tianmen Daoist's words, Jiang Ning said, "Uncle Tianmen, the demonic sects in those dozen or so caves have been completely wiped out."

"Oh?"

Yue Buqun was surprised. Only then did he realize that Jiang Ning had already begun clearing out the dozen or so caves, leaving only the cave in front of him that contained thousands of members of the Demonic Cult.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's attack!"

Without saying a word, Tianmen Daoist was about to kill him, but before Yue Buqun could speak, Ji Wushi spoke first.

"Tianmen Daoist, please wait."

After Ji Wushi stopped Tianmen Daoist, he looked at Yue Buqun.

"Alliance Leader Yue, I have a plan."

Chapter 708: Blocking the Hole

Yue Buqun looked at Ji Wushi.

"Mr. Ji, please speak."

It was Ji Wushi's suggestion that allowed them to detect the hidden dangers at Yinping Mountain in advance, thus preventing them from suffering heavy casualties. Yue Buqun valued his opinion highly.

Ji Wushi pondered for a moment and said, "Now that the demonic sects hiding in other caves have been wiped out by Hero Jiang, only a few thousand demonic sects remain in this cave. Why don't we trap them like turtles in a jar?"

"Catching a turtle in a jar?"

"How do you catch a turtle in a jar?"

Upon hearing this, everyone asked questions.

"Instead of charging straight in, we should block these seven entrances and exits..."

Ji Wushi's plan was simple: these thousands of demonic cult members were all inside the cave. If they were to charge straight in, they would surely win with their numbers and expertise, but there would also be many casualties. It would be better to block the cave entrance and kill them inside.
