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

Page 391

Liu Zhengfeng was clearly taken aback, but still shook his head.

"I'm not worried about being discovered by Ren Woxing and his group, but I'm worried that they might become detrimental to the righteous path in the future."

Liu Zhengfeng frowned and said, "When Ren Woxing was chatting with those people from the Demonic Sect before, he said that after he defeated Dongfang Bubai and took back the Demonic Sect from Dongfang Bubai, he planned to integrate the entire Demonic Path and launch an attack on the Righteous Path. He wanted to massacre the Righteous Path, especially my Five Mountains... He even slaughtered the Hengshan and Huashan sects without leaving a single one alive."

Liu Zhengfeng was also present when Ren Woxing was talking to his men. Ren Woxing didn't try to hide it from him at all; on the contrary, he made sure Liu Zhengfeng listened.

“This time, Ren Woxing has gathered all his men from the martial arts world and brought them here. There are too many of them for our righteous path to resist.”

Ren Woxing's power is immense. Despite his recent release from West Lake Prison and his disheveled descent from Mount Song, his influence is not to be underestimated. Before Jiangning destroyed the Tianhe Gang, the Tianhe Gang alone was a massive gang of ten thousand men. Not to mention the other forces under Ren Yingying's command, none of these forces were damaged. Many of them were also large gangs with numerous members. Now, these forces combined have a combined strength of over ten thousand, or even more.

Although most of them were not skilled in martial arts, Ren Woxing had also gathered many former Sun Moon Cult masters, and they were not weak in terms of skill level. It can be said that no single force could contend with them alone.

Ren Woxing is too ambitious. He will surely stir up a bloody storm in the martial arts world and wage a great war against the righteous path. When that happens, rivers of blood will flow.

Upon hearing this news, Liu Zhengfeng felt uneasy. Given Ren Woxing's personality, if he were to unify the demonic path and launch a full-scale attack on the righteous path, the Hengshan Sect would certainly not be spared.

"I want to stay."

Liu Zhengfeng said this with a firm expression, as if he had made a decision.

Jiang Ning looked at him, her brows slightly furrowed.

"What does Uncle Liu mean?"

Liu Zhengfeng looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Before, I was under house arrest and could not contact anyone except the people of the Demonic Sect, so I had no other way to go but to die. But now that I have seen you tonight, I can't leave. I will stay here as an undercover agent to pass on information about the Demonic Sect to you so that you can be prepared."

"Undercover?"

Jiang Ning was clearly taken aback.

Besides being surprised by Liu Zhengfeng's decision, Jiang Ning also thought of how Mr. Mo had previously worked as an undercover agent.

After the initial surprise, Jiang Ning frowned slightly.

"Uncle-Master Liu, have you thought it through?"

Jiang Ning was somewhat worried.

There's no other reason than that the risks of being an undercover agent are too great, like walking on a tightrope with a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire below; one wrong step and you're doomed.

Liu Zhengfeng's expression was resolute.

"That's all."

Although he is currently under house arrest, this is also an opportunity to infiltrate the enemy.

Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng had made up his mind, Jiang Ning could not say anything more and could only nod.

"In that case, Uncle Liu, be careful in everything you do and make sure you don't expose yourself."

"Ah."

Liu Zhengfeng said, "You go first. I will pretend to agree to work for Ren Woxing. If I get any information in the future, I will find a way to contact you."

"Not urgent."

Jiang Ning shook his head.

"Ren Woxing is going to Blackwood Cliff to fight Dongfang Bubai this time, and I also plan to go and take a look."

Liu Zhengfeng asked in surprise, "You're going too? It's very dangerous. If you're recognized at Blackwood Cliff, you won't be able to escape."

Jiang Ning knew that doing so was very dangerous, but this could be a major upheaval for the Demonic Sect, and he had to be there to see what was happening.

"I will disguise myself then, so Uncle Liu need not worry."

"This……"

Liu Zhengfeng didn't know what to say, so he just nodded.

After finishing his conversation with Liu Zhengfeng, Jiang Ning prepared to leave. Before leaving, he checked his surroundings to make sure no one noticed him before departing.

After Jiang Ning left, Liu Zhengfeng sat down again.

His previously despairing heart has now changed.

……

Linghu Chong waited anxiously in the room for a long time but Jiang Ning did not return. He paced back and forth in worry. After waiting for a while, he finally saw Jiang Ning return.

"Junior brother, you're finally back."

Linghu Chong breathed a sigh of relief. "I was thinking that if you didn't come back, I would go looking for you."

After Jiang Ning sat down, Linghu Chong couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? Did you see Uncle Liu?"

Jiang Ning nodded.

"seen."

Linghu Chong's expression turned serious. "Could it be that he has really defected to the Demonic Sect?"

Jiang Ning shook his head.

"No, Uncle Liu is currently under house arrest. Ren Woxing wanted him to join the Demonic Sect, but he refused."

Jiang Ning recounted Liu Zhengfeng's previous experiences.

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong became anxious.

"Then let's hurry and save him. We can't let Uncle Liu die at the hands of those evil cultists."

Jiang Ning shook his head. "Uncle Liu doesn't want to come."

"This……"

Linghu Chong was taken aback.

"why?"

Jiang Ning didn't explain anything. It was extremely dangerous for Liu Zhengfeng to infiltrate Ren Woxing's organization. The fewer people who knew about this, the better. It wasn't that Jiang Ning didn't trust Linghu Chong, but it concerned Liu Zhengfeng's life, so he had to be careful. Apart from himself, he only planned to tell Yue Buqun and Master Mo.

"Let's leave Uncle Liu aside for now. Senior Brother, Ren Woxing is preparing to fight Dongfang Bubai. He'll probably lead his men to Blackwood Cliff soon. This is a big deal, and we need to go check it out."

Linghu Chong's attention was diverted, and he nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

"no problem."

After saying that, Linghu Chong couldn't help but say, "It would be great if these two sides fought and both were severely injured. That would be good news for our righteous path."

"hope so."

Although there wasn't much to be gained that night, at least we learned of Liu Zhengfeng's whereabouts, and the fact that he was willing to return to the right path was good news.

The next day.

Boom boom boom!

There was a knock on Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong's door, and the two opened their eyes at the same time.

The knocking grew louder, and Linghu Chong called out.

"Who?"

A deep voice rang out from outside the door.

"Open the door!"

Linghu Chong thought they had been discovered, so he was about to draw his sword and fight his way out, but Jiang Ning stopped him.

"Just wait and see what happens."

Jiang Ning walked towards the door, opened it, and found a large man standing in the doorway, looking impatient.

Besides the burly man, there were several other people, all of whom appeared to be江湖人士 (jianghu figures, people of the martial arts world).

Jiang Ning quickly glanced at it.

"Why are you taking so long to open the door?"

The burly man spoke in a harsh voice, his attitude extremely rude.

A look of panic appeared on Jiang Ning's face.

"May I ask what you gentlemen do for a living? Is there anything I can do for you?"

"On the orders of the leader, we are conducting a house search in the city to find any remaining members of the cult."

The burly man said something, glanced at Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong inside, and questioned them.

"Who are you? Where are you from? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Ning said, "We are traveling merchants from out of town, passing through this place to rest for two days on our way to the capital."

The burly man looked at him and Linghu Chong with a hesitant gaze.

"Aren't you remnants of the heretical sect?"

Jiang Ning asked, "Who are these remnants of the cult that you speak of?"

Someone said, "Our cult leader, Ren, was usurped by the traitor Dongfang. Now that Ren has regained power, he wants to search for the remnants of the cult under Dongfang's command."

At this moment, someone interjected, "Why talk to him so much? I think these two are acting suspiciously; they must be remnants of the cult. Tie them up and take them back to the cult leader for punishment."

"Please, gentlemen, have mercy."

Linghu Chong ran over at this moment, a fawning smile on his face.

"Heaven and earth bear witness, we brothers are honest and law-abiding businessmen, not the remnants of a cult you claim. Please, gentlemen, have mercy on us."

As he spoke, Linghu Chong took out some silver and gave it to the group.

After the men took the silver and looked at it, some of them already showed satisfaction, but one of them said sternly, "Is that all? Are you begging us?"

Linghu Chong cried out in pain, looking distressed.

"We wouldn't dare treat you gentlemen like beggars, but my brother and I run a small business and don't have much money on us. We hope you gentlemen will have mercy on us; this is all the silver we have."

As he spoke, Linghu Chong took some more silver and sent it over.

"alright."

The burly man at the head of the group twirled the silver coins and glanced at the two men.

"It seems you really aren't remnants of the heretical sect. In that case, I'll let you go. Here's a piece of advice: don't wander around today unless you have something to do, or you might lose your lives."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."

Linghu Chong had a fawning smile on his face.

After receiving the silver, the men swaggered away.

After the others left, Linghu Chong regained his composure and exchanged a glance with Jiang Ning.

Linghu Chong went out to take a look and returned shortly afterward.

"It was Ren Woxing who sent people to search the city; there are many martial arts practitioners outside."

Linghu Chong frowned.

Jiang Ning remained silent.

The search lasted a day.

……

"You mean Liu Zhengfeng is willing to join my cult?"

Ren Woxing looked at Qu Yang.

Qu Yang was very respectful.

"Yes, Master. He agreed when I went to persuade him tonight."

"Oh?"

Ren Woxing became curious.

"When I asked him to join my cult before, he resolutely refused. Why has he suddenly changed his mind?"
