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

Page 144

Although Feng Qingyang did not explicitly forbid him from teaching it to others, he had not taught this peerless sword technique to anyone else for many years, except him. This clearly indicated that he regarded him as the successor, and he had no right to make the decision.

Thinking of this, Linghu Chong's eyes flashed. He planned to go to the Cliff of Contemplation to find Feng Qingyang after this incident, and see if he could get Feng Qingyang's consent to pass on the Dugu Nine Swords to his sect.

After thinking it through, Linghu Chong pondered how to persuade Feng Qingyang to agree.

Jiang Ning also looked lost in thought.

This kind of guarding isn't a solution; we need to find out what's going on down below.

Seeing Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong both lost in thought, the other Huashan disciples exchanged bewildered glances.

Do all experts like to daydream?

……

Yue Buqun arrived at the back mountain and found Feng Buping still interrogating the few who had been captured or surrendered. However, Yue Buqun did not rush to ask about the situation. Instead, he looked at Lu Dayou, who was boasting to the other disciples of the Taishan and Hengshan sects.

"You don't know, when Junior Brother Jiang Ning faced the encirclement of those six strange men, he was not afraid at all. He held his sword and shouted: 'You six monsters, if you know what's good for you, hand over the demoness and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, I will kill you all!' Naturally, the six monsters refused and immediately started fighting with Junior Brother Jiang Ning."

In an instant, the world changed color; the battle was so fierce that the sky darkened and the earth cracked.

Those six monstrous-looking men were incredibly powerful, their combined attack techniques making them virtually invincible. But Jiang Ning, the junior brother, was even more divine, fighting the six monsters for three days and three nights before finally killing two of them.

The remaining four monsters turned ashen-faced and trembled like leaves, wishing they had two more legs. They quickly fled with the demoness and disappeared without a trace.

The four monsters, before leaving, said in a panic:

Like a demon lord descended from heaven, truly a celestial being!

Chapter 204 We Must Go

Lu Dayou gestured wildly, spitting as he spoke, surrounded by a group of disciples from the Taishan and Hengshan sects.

The disciples from both factions were completely stunned.

According to Lu Dayou, Jiang Ning chased the demonic sect witch for seven days and seven nights, covering three thousand miles. Then, surrounded by six top experts, he fought for another three days and three nights, their sword energy crisscrossing as they finally killed two of them. The demonic sect witch fled in panic. This sounds like listening to a book from heaven.

This sounds increasingly fantastical.

Liang Fa, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"You talk as if you've seen it before."

Not long ago, disciples from both the Taishan and Hengshan sects were curious about how Jiang Ning had chased after Ren Yingying. He originally wanted to say that Lu Dayou had beaten him to it.

"I may not be there in person, but my sword is."

Lu Dayou spoke eloquently, taking a rope from his neck with a section of sword hilt hanging from it.

"Look, this is the sword that Junior Brother Jiang Ning used to fight. The battle was so intense that my sword was shattered."

Although the sword that had been with him for more than ten years broke, Lu Dayou was not angry. Instead, he would hang the remaining hilt around his neck every day and wander around.

These are all symbols of glory.

The disciples of the Taishan and Hengshan sects were confused, but they were still speechless when they saw the broken sword.

"No wonder that witch sent so many people to deal with you; she was enraged."

A female disciple of Hengshan Temple exclaimed in astonishment.

"Of course! That demoness was chased for seven days and seven nights and almost died at the hands of Junior Brother Jiang. She must hate him to death."

A disciple of the Taishan Sect said.

Watching the disciples' discussion, Lu Dayou's rumors became increasingly outrageous, leaving Yue Buqun speechless.

“Great potential.”

Yue Buqun called out to Lu Dayou.

When Lu Dayou saw Yue Buqun calling him, he quickly parted the crowd and ran over.

"Master, is there anything you need me to do?"

Yue Buqun shook his head.

"It's nothing. Come with me. I have something to ask you."

Yue Buqun then led Lu Dayou to a secluded place before asking the question.

"Tell me about how you've been delivering meals to your senior brother over the past few months."

Lu Da was surprised, wondering why Yue Buqun was asking this, but he still answered honestly.

After listening, Yue Buqun pondered and found nothing wrong with it. Linghu Chong had been practicing his sword at Siguo Cliff for the past few months.

At this moment, Yue Buqun thought of something else.

"Last time I asked you to call your senior brother, why did you only come down the mountain the next day?"

Lu Dayou was also bewildered: "This disciple doesn't know either. When this disciple went to the Cliff of Contemplation to call the senior brother, the senior brother said he had to go back to the cave to pack his things. This disciple waited outside, but after waiting for a long time and seeing that the senior brother still hadn't come out, I thought I would go in to help pack. But then I fell asleep and didn't wake up until the next day. The senior brother said that I suddenly fainted after I went in. It's probably because I've been practicing too hard lately that I fainted."

Lu Da wondered if he had considered anything unusual; he didn't think Linghu Chong would lie to him.

Yue Buqun frowned after hearing this, and he understood.

"Okay, it's okay."

Yue Buqun said to Lu Dayou, "Your senior brother may be right. Although you should be diligent in practicing, you should also pay attention to rest."

Lu Dayou quickly replied, "Yes, Master."

"Okay, let's go."

Yue Buqun waved his hand, told Lu Dayou to leave, and then stood still, his gaze looking through the clouds towards the summit of Jade Maiden Peak, where he seemed to see a figure.

For decades you've never bothered with anything related to the Huashan Sect, but now that you see the Huashan Sect in crisis, have you finally lost your temper?

……

Jade Maiden Peak.

Feng Qingyang stood in an open space, staring blankly at everything around him.

This place used to reek of blood, with large patches of dark red blood staining the stones.

However, as time passed, the stench of blood in this area disappeared, and the blood-stained stones became clean. Everything from the past has been washed away by the years and is no longer a thing of the past.

"Senior brother... junior brother..."

Feng Qingyang stood in the center, his eyes vacant.

A cold wind blew by, lifting his white hair and robes, making him look even more lonely and desolate.

After standing there for an unknown amount of time, Feng Qingyang seemed to finally come to his senses, his expression inexplicably aged even more.

Feng Qingyang took one last look at the place before leaving.

……

Below the cliff on the back of North Peak.

Ji Wushi was still waiting down there. Half a day had passed since those dozens of people went up, and he had no idea what was going on.

Not long after, a person ran over from the front of the mountain.

"Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji."

Upon seeing the man running towards him, Ji Wushi asked, "How did it go? Did you manage to break through?"

The man was about to speak, but hearing Ji Wushi speak first, he shook his head and said, "We can't get up there. The island lord sent me to ask you how things are going on your side. Have they gone up and started moving yet? Why is there still no movement from Thousand Feet Cliff?"

"No movement?"

Ji Wushi's gaze sharpened.

Those people have been up there for a while now, so they should have already started taking action. Why is there no sign of them making a move?

Ji Wushi suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Mr. Ji? Mr. Ji?"

Seeing that his plan had failed, the man from Long Whale Island remained silent and urged him repeatedly.

Ji Wushi came to his senses and was about to speak when suddenly there was movement above. Ji Wushi looked up and saw a figure falling downwards.

thump!

With a heavy thud, the figure crashed to the ground, his body torn to pieces, his face unrecognizable, and his brains and blood splattered everywhere.

"This……"

The man from Long Whale Island was shocked by what he saw, and Ji Wushi looked even more displeased.

He noticed the knife stuck in the man's back.

broken.

Upon seeing the man's dead state, Ji Wushi immediately knew that something was wrong.

"Mr. Ji, what's going on?"

The man sent by Sima Da looked greatly alarmed.

Ji Wushi shook his head and said, "They must have fallen into an ambush and have already perished up there."

"This...what should I do?"

The man was terrified upon hearing this.

These people were all experts, and they all died up there without a sound of water. This is going to be hard to explain.

"The most urgent task is to go back and report to the Holy Envoy as soon as possible."

Ji Wushi frowned.

"Yep."

As if waking from a dream, the man hurriedly prepared to go back and tell Sima Da and the others.

next second.

Click.

Ji Wushi withdrew his hand expressionlessly, and the person who had just been there collapsed as a corpse.

After killing the man, Ji Wushi prepared to leave.

We have to go.

Although we don't know what happened up there, judging from the bodies that fell down, those people up there must have been ambushed and probably wiped out. This is a huge responsibility, and he can't go back.

The idea of ​​attacking from the back of the mountain was his, and he was also the one who scouted the terrain. Now that so many people have died, he can't escape responsibility. Those people probably think he's an inside man who deliberately framed them.

Returning to the main camp now would likely be disastrous; Sima Da and the Four Immortals of Peach Valley would probably target him.

Ji Wushi had no intention of going back; he planned to just slip away and pretend he had never been there.

Chapter 205 Deadlock

Beneath the thousand-foot-high pillar.

Inside a tent camp.

"We haven't heard anything from Ji Wushi's side about what's going on."

A man frowned and said.

Sima Da and the White Dragon Gang's leader, Shi, remained silent.

They had heard of the perilous nature of Mount Hua when they came here, but they didn't really know much about it before. Now they had seen it for themselves. The Thousand-Foot Cliff alone blocked thousands of them from climbing up.

They have suffered heavy losses, with hundreds dead, and are unable to break through. Morale is wavering. If Ji Wushi's plan fails, they will be helpless.

Sima Da couldn't help but sigh slightly.

He truly hadn't expected it to be this difficult.

Bang!
