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

Page 169

"Oh, Old Ma."

Tao Genxian raised his hand and said to Sima Da, "We know you're unhappy with Lao Jia, but we think what he said makes a lot of sense."

"Yes, yes."

Peach Blossom Fairy echoed this sentiment.

"But delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances. If we stay here too long, and the major righteous sects like Shaolin and Wudang come to support the Huashan Sect, our chances will be slim."

Sima Da, too lazy to dwell on the mistake of calling Tao Gen Xian, raised his concerns.

"..."

Hearing Sima Da's words, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley remained silent.

At first, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley thought they could use this opportunity to attack the Huashan Sect to avenge Ren Yingying and their two brothers, and prove that they weren't fools. But now they no longer had any illusions. They just needed to honestly complete the task assigned by Ren Yingying. Now, Master Mo's decision was in line with their expectations.

As for the problem Sima Da mentioned, they weren't too worried. Ren Yingying had told them before they came that they should stall for as long as possible to attract the attention of both the righteous and demonic factions. If Shaolin and Wudang sent reinforcements, they could pretend to negotiate and then retreat.

Remembering what Ren Yingying had said to them when she arrived, Tao Genxian tried to calm Sima Da down, but before he could speak, a commotion broke out outside the carriage.

"It's not good. It's not good."

A person rushed in, stumbling and crawling to the Four Immortals of Peach Valley, looking panicked.

"What kind of panic is this? What happened?"

Sima Da stood up and shouted sternly.

"We've been ambushed, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect has begun its counterattack."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Sima Da was taken aback, as were the Four Immortals of Peach Valley.

"Do they dare to attack us?"

They've been besieging the mountain for so many days. Although hundreds of people died during the attack, including many experts, it doesn't mean they can't defeat the Five Mountains Sword Sect. If the Five Mountains Sword Sect abandons their terrain advantage and comes down to fight them, they will definitely win.

Could it be that the Five Mountains Sword Sect has gone mad with greed and loss?

"They have helpers."

The man looked panicked and quickly explained what was happening outside.

"That old Jia betrayed us! They colluded with us from the inside and killed many of our people. All our experts are dead, all of them!!"

"What??"

Upon hearing this, Sima Da's eyes widened, and the Four Immortals of Peach Valley were dumbfounded.

Did Lao Jia betray them?

Sima Da panicked, took two steps forward, grabbed the man's collar, and shouted sternly, "Are you telling the truth?"

"really."

The man responded in a flustered manner.

Sima Da continued, "How many people are there on the other side in total?"

"I don't know, I don't know, I only know that there are many of them."

The man was in a panic and shook his head frantically: "So many of us have died. We couldn't hold them off at all. So many people have run away, including Chief Shi and his men."

Upon hearing this, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley sat there in a daze.

"It's over, it's over."

Tao Genxian murmured these two words.

"How to do how to do?"

Peach Leaf Fairy also cried out in panic.

Even the four of them knew that this matter had become a big deal.

"Holy Envoy, we must go."

Sima Da made a decisive decision and immediately spoke to the Four Immortals of Peach Valley.

Upon hearing this man's report, he realized that the situation was hopeless. These people had been killed and had lost all will to fight, so they started to flee. It was no longer possible to stay.

His reminder made the Four Immortals of Peach Valley realize what was going on.

"We have to go."

The four hurriedly stood up and were about to run away, no longer maintaining the demeanor of holy envoys.

Seeing the four people flee, Sima Da didn't have time to say anything more and quickly got out of the carriage and started to run away.

……

Zheng!

Yue Buqun swung his sword and ended the man's life. By this time, everyone near Thousand Feet Lodge had been killed by them.

But Yue Buqun did not stop. He jumped up to a high place, looked into the distance, confirmed the direction of Zhang Quandao and the others, and then shouted loudly.

"Disciples of the Five Mountains Alliance, follow me and kill!"

Yue Buqun was the first to charge out, intending to join forces with Emei and Qingcheng.

At this moment, the enemy camp was in complete chaos. Not only were the Qingcheng and Emei factions fighting, but the Five Mountains Sword Sect led by Yue Buqun was also fighting, and Yue Buqun's side was even more ferocious.

Yue Buqun drew his sword and slashed, killing those who surrounded him one by one. None of them could last a single round against him.

Yue Buqun rushed too fast and lost distance from the Five Mountains Sword Sect behind him. These people from all walks of life quickly surrounded him.

"drink!"

Yue Buqun scanned his surroundings, then gathered his strength and shouted loudly.

The sound waves spread outwards, immediately stunning a large group of people, while those who were a little further away covered their heads and screamed in agony.

Yue Buqun did not finish off the fallen enemies, but continued to charge forward. The group of people who fell behind him were killed by the Five Mountains Sword Sect who caught up with him.

"Brother Yue's martial arts skills are truly unfathomable."

Seeing that they were moving through an uninhabited area, with blood flowing everywhere they went, Master Dingjing and Master Dingyi exchanged a glance, speechless with astonishment.

Yue Buqun charged through the crowd like a fierce tiger, but the further he went, the fewer enemies he encountered, until he met Zhang Quandao and Abbess Qingwei, and there were no more enemies around him.

"Sect Leader Yue."

Upon seeing Yue Buqun, Zhang Quandao exclaimed with delight, but then paused for a moment.

At this moment, Yue Buqun's robes were stained with blood, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were filled with a chilling killing intent. His demeanor was different from his usual elegant gentleman, making people shudder.

Upon seeing Zhang Quandao, Abbess Qingwei, and the others, Yue Buqun's gaze softened.

"Master Zhang, Abbess Qingwei."

Yue Buqun stepped forward and smiled at the two of them.

However, his smile seemed strangely familiar to Zhang Quandao, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

"Sect Leader Yue, how's the situation on your end?"

Master Qingwei coughed and said.

Yue Buqun said, "We fought our way in from the Thousand-Foot Cliff, what about your side?"

Master Qingwei smiled and said, "Everything went smoothly."

At this moment, Ning Zhongze, Tianmen, Dingjing, and others also arrived.

"Senior brother?"

Ning Zhongze then called out to Yue Buqun, and Tianmen and Dingyi looked at Zhang Quandao, Qingwei Shitai, and the others, waiting for Yue Buqun to introduce them.

Yue Buqun then introduced them to Ning Zhongze and Tianmen: "This is Master Zhang, the current head of the Qingcheng Sect, and this is Abbess Qingwei of the Emei Sect. They have come here specifically to support us."

"I am Ning Zhongze. Thank you all for coming to support my Huashan Sect."

Ning Zhongze bowed to the two men and thanked them.

"This humble nun, Dingyi of the Hengshan Sect, greets you both."

Master Dingyi bowed to the two of them, as did Daoist Tianmen.

"Greetings, Lady Ning; greetings, Abbess; and Taoist Priest."

Zhang Quandao and Abbess Qingwei quickly returned the greeting.

Yue Buqun then noticed that Jiang Ning was not there and asked, "Where is my disciple Jiang Ning?"

Zhang Quandao quickly replied, "Master Jiang said he was going to find the enemy's experts, but we don't know where they are now."

Yue Buqun frowned upon hearing this.

“I know where Senior Brother Jiang is.”

Liu Qin then came out.

Yue Buqun looked at him and remembered.

This is Liu Zhengfeng's only son.

"I'll take you there."

Liu Qin said something and then walked in one direction.

Worried about Jiang Ning's safety, Yue Buqun immediately followed.

At this time, the enemy camp was in complete chaos. At first, Liu Qin led the Taoists from Qingcheng Mountain to disguise themselves as enemy soldiers and deliver wine to them. The situation went very smoothly, and they secretly killed a large number of people. It was not until they were exposed at a gang's encampment that the fighting broke out.

As Liu Qin led the way, Yue Buqun and Tianmen were surprised to find that they didn't see many people along the way. It wasn't until they had traveled a distance that they saw corpses on the ground.

The ground was littered with corpses and severed limbs. Some corpses were split in two, with their intestines and internal organs exposed. Blood stained the earth crimson.

The further the group went, the more and more corpses appeared, piling up until they finally saw a figure ahead.

A figure stood in the center, holding a knife in his hand. The blade was blood red, and blood dripped down the blade to the ground, making a soft dripping sound.

The figure had cold eyes, and all around him were severed limbs and incomplete corpses.

An elderly man was sitting not far away.

"Ning'er."

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning!"

Ning Zhongze and Lu Dayou immediately shouted out.

Upon seeing that they were his own people, Jiang Ning's icy expression softened.

"Master, Mistress, Senior Uncle."

Jiang Ning sheathed his sword and approached the group, a smile appearing on his face.

Zhang Quandao, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment when he saw Jiang Ning at this moment.

Zhang Quandao looked at Yue Buqun, then at Jiang Ning, and finally remembered why he had felt a strange sense of familiarity when he saw Yue Buqun, who was full of murderous aura but also had a smile.

"Master!"

"Senior Brother Head!"

The people from the Hengshan Sect also recognized the old man not far away and exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, Master Mo looked at Jiang Ning as if he had seen a ghost, as if he were looking at a monster.

He witnessed the entire battle, from beginning to end, and saw how Jiang Ning slaughtered these people.

He had just witnessed Jiang Ning suddenly become enraged halfway through the killing spree, cleaving a person and weapon in two with a single strike. The scene that followed was truly hellish.

"Master, Taoist priest, how is the situation on your end?"

Jiang Ning inquired.

Zhang Quandao responded, "There was a slight deviation, but it's nothing serious."
