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

Page 533

Ji Wushi himself was incredibly shrewd; how could he possibly be fooled by the other party's petty schemes? Besides, Ji Wushi had never intended for these people to live in the first place.

Hearing the screams of the group, Ji Wushi smiled faintly. After the screams completely stopped and the group fell silent, Ji Wushi turned and left.

……

"Chase!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, after briefly dealing with the problem of the Diancang Sect leader, Yue Buqun shouted.

Since the Demonic Cult fled in small groups after its defeat, these fleeing members could not be allowed to escape. Each faction left some people to hunt down these scattered members, while the main forces of each faction still gathered together and chased after Ren Woxing in the direction he had retreated.

"You've all worked hard today, please rest here."

Jiang Ning looked at the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Snake and said.

These two strange beasts have done a great job today, working very hard, but they are indeed exhausted. The black tortoise is panting on the ground, and the spirit snake is completely limp.

Seeing them like this, Jiang Ning couldn't bear to let them continue the battle and let them rest here.

The Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Snake responded reluctantly to Jiang Ning's words, as they were too tired to move.

"After this battle, you'll have a good meal."

Upon hearing this, the two beasts' eyes lit up, and they nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Ning patted their heads and then caught up with the main group.

"Young Master Jiang displayed his divine prowess today, moving through the Demonic Sect as if it were his own territory. This old Taoist is truly impressed."

While on the road, Chongxu suddenly spoke up.

Jiang Ning looked over.

"You flatter me, Daoist Master."

"Young Master Jiang, there's no need for you to be so modest."

Chongxu smiled slightly and said, "Your performance today has been seen by all the martial arts practitioners present. If you hadn't stormed into the Demonic Sect's rear and disrupted the demoness's command, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for us to win."

All the factions present knew that Ren Yingying was in charge of the Demonic Sect. Ren Yingying was indeed quite capable. Under her command, the Demonic Sect fought a very close battle with them. If Jiang Ning hadn't stormed into the enemy camp and interrupted Ren Yingying's command, the Demonic Sect wouldn't have been defeated so quickly, and their casualties would have been much greater.

It can be said that Jiangning's performance today was extremely impressive, leaving everyone amazed.

"It seems that the old Taoist priest's decision back then was very wise."

Chongxu smiled and said, "To see the True Martial Sword shine again in Young Hero Jiang's hands is the greatest fortune of my life."

"I believe that in the future, the True Martial Sword will surely sweep away all demons in the world in the hands of Young Hero Jiang."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, but his expression turned serious when he heard the other person's last words.

"This is also my lifelong wish."

Chongxu looked at Jiang Ning with a smile, and unconsciously thought of the calligraphy that Zhu Houzhao had given him.

Only the sky is above, and no mountain can compare...

Seeing Chongxu so engrossed in his conversation with Jiang Ning, Fang Zheng, though his expression remained unchanged, couldn't help but glance at his old friend.

Although Wudang and Shaolin had only tacitly formed an alliance in the past without making it public, for some reason, seeing Chongxu now, Fang Zheng still felt a sense of betrayal.

It's like the feeling a husband has when he sees his wife flirting with someone else.

fantastic.

Chapter 728: The Heavenly Gate Taoist's Rank Improvement

Fang Zheng shook his head, trying to dispel the absurd thought from his mind.

In any case, it was time for him to have a talk with this old friend.

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, traces of the Demonic Sect have been discovered ahead!"

At this moment, a martial arts practitioner reported the situation to Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun's expression brightened.

"Chase!"

The group quickened their pace and, sure enough, spotted a group of fleeing members of the Demonic Cult in the woods ahead.

Upon seeing Yue Buqun and Jiang Ning, who were pursuing them, the fleeing members of the Demonic Cult were terrified and hastily quickened their pace.

But which of Jiang Ning and the others who were pursuing them wasn't a master?

Upon seeing this group of demonic cult members, Jiang Ning and the others used their lightness skills to close the distance in a few breaths.

"not good!"

"Catching up!"

"Run!"

Upon seeing this, the fleeing members of the demonic cult scattered and fled without any intention of resisting.

"stop!"

Disciples from various factions quickly caught up, shouting sternly, and began to attack the next second.

The catching-up members of the demonic sect gritted their teeth and fought back, and the two sides clashed again.

boom!

Jiang Ning flicked his hand, unleashing a sword aura that swept forward, creating a crater in the ground. The demonic cult members nearby were blasted away and fell to the ground, howling in pain.

Yue Buqun and the leaders of various sects had already made their moves, and they could easily defeat this group of demonic cult members. The battle ended in just a moment.

"Your Majesty!"

Disciples from various factions escorted the remaining members of the Demonic Cult to Yue Buqun and his group, and rebuked them.

"Hero, spare your life!"

"Have mercy, sir!!"

The remaining members of the demonic cult knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly to the people of Jiangning, begging for mercy.

"Where is Ren Woxing? Where is he?!"

Yue Buqun stepped forward and shouted sternly.

"A member of the cult who looked like the leader said quickly."

"We don't know! We weren't with the cult leader!"

Upon hearing this, Tianmen Daoist's expression turned angry. He stepped forward, kicked the man to the ground, and shouted fiercely.

"Ren Woxing and you fled in the same direction, how could you not know that?"

"Hurry up and say it!"

The leader repeatedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Hero, spare my life! Hero, spare my life!"

"We really don't know. We didn't see the cult leader when we ran away. Maybe the cult leader left before us."

The other members of the demonic cult echoed his sentiments.

"Yeah yeah."

"My lords, we really dare not hide this from you."

"Spare us!"

The Taoist of the Heavenly Gate grew increasingly fierce, his eyes revealing a sharp edge.

"I see you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

After saying this, the Taoist of Tianmen killed one of the demonic sect members with a single sword strike.

"You still haven't told me the truth!"

The other members of the demonic cult were terrified upon seeing this and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Hero, spare our lives! We really didn't lie!!"

"We really don't know where the cult leader went. Even if you kill us, we won't know."

"Spare me, hero!"

Tianmen Daoist sneered and was about to continue, but Yue Buqun stopped him.

"No need, fellow Daoist."

Yue Buqun remained calm.

"It seems they really didn't see Ren Woxing."

Yue Buqun was most skilled at reading people's expressions and demeanor; he could tell that these people were not lying.

Master Dingxian, who had remained silent until now, frowned slightly. "Where did the Renwo Guild go?"

Jiang Ning suddenly said, "They should have fled to Wuwei Prefecture."

Wuwei Prefecture has become Ren Woxing's base of operations. Now that the enemy has been defeated, they will most likely flee back.

"Without further ado!"

Tianmen Daoist was very proactive and immediately wanted to continue the pursuit.

"Then what to do with these people?"

Chongxu frowned as he looked at the group of demonic sect members.

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun's expression shifted slightly, and he looked at Jiang Ning.

"Ning'er, what do you think?"

Jiang Ning remained calm and slowly uttered a single word.

"kill."

"No!!"

"Spare me, my hero!!!"

When the group of cult members heard that they were to be killed, they were so frightened that they kept begging for mercy.

"We don't dare anymore."

"We know we were wrong."

"Please, great hero, spare our lives! We promise to turn over a new leaf and start anew."

"Spare us."

Hearing the group of demonic cult members plead for mercy, Abbess Qingzhu, Taoist Master Mo Da, and the others remained expressionless and unmoved.

Their attitude was the same as Jiang Ning's.

If we were to say which faction among those present was most bloodthirsty, then it would be Jiang Ning and the others.

However, Abbess Dingxian's expression was subtle, as if she was somewhat reluctant, but she did not speak.

Chongxu's expression remained unchanged, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Zhenshanzi didn't care about the lives or deaths of these people. He glanced at Fang Zheng, Yue Buqun, and Jiang Ning with a subtle look, but didn't say anything.

"Amitabha."

Fang Zheng sighed, "Heaven cherishes life. Alliance Leader Yue, Young Hero Jiang, since they know they were wrong, why not let them go?"

Jiang Ning glanced at him sideways, about to speak, when Yue Buqun spoke first.

"Master Fangzheng is compassionate and kind-hearted, which I admire."

"However, Yue has a different opinion."

"Do they realize they were wrong?"

"I don't think so."

"In Yue's view, they knew they were going to die."
