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

Page 148

Mr. Mo had disappeared from the stage. Jiang Ning saw him slip out from another corner of the crowd and walk in one direction.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning followed.

After causing such a commotion, Master Mo left without a trace, concealing his merits and fame. He arrived at a place not far away, where a young man was waiting for him.

"Let's go."

At this moment, Mr. Mo seemed to have returned to his original state, speaking casually.

The boy looked completely stunned.

"how?"

Mr. Mo glanced at him.

"Master, you..."

The boy hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Mr. Mo seemed to understand what he wanted to say.

"The affairs of the martial world are mostly about fighting and conquest. If everything involves knives and guns, where will all the lives come from? Strength is inferior, while skill is superior. Being able to stir up turmoil among them without bloodshed is better than any sword, gun, or club."

Mr. Mo gave a soft snort.

"You still have a long way to go in your studies."

The boy remained silent and followed behind Mr. Mo, leaving the group's headquarters. When they passed a grove of trees, Mr. Mo noticed something was amiss.

"who?"

Suddenly, Mr. Mo shouted sharply from behind.

The boy turned around blankly and saw a young man emerge from the shadows.

"Nephew greets Master Mo."

Jiang Ning bowed to Mr. Mo.

Liu Qin's eyes widened when she saw Jiang Ning.

"It's you?"

Mr. Mo was also somewhat surprised to see Jiang Ning, as he recognized Jiang Ning as well.

"Why are you here?"

Jiang Ning said, "I was ordered by my master to go down the mountain to gather intelligence and to contact the seniors of various sects who came to support my Huashan Sect."

Master Mo gave Jiang Ning a strange look: "Sect Leader Yue is quite comfortable letting you go down the mountain."

Over the past year, Jiang Ning's reputation has spread throughout the martial arts world, and he has heard of it.

With the mountain so dangerous down there, Yue Buqun still dares to let Jiang Ning go down the mountain alone, isn't he afraid of something unexpected happening?

Jiang Ning looked at Master Mo and Liu Qin and said, "Master Mo, all the senior uncles and brothers of the Hengshan Sect are currently at Mount Hua. Would you like to come up the mountain with me now?"

Mr. Mo shook his head.

"Not for the time being."

There are already enough people on the mountain, one more won't make a difference. He plans to continue causing trouble down the mountain.

"If you want to contact other sects, I saw that there were Taoists from the Qingcheng Sect when I passed through Hanzhong Prefecture before."

Mr. Mo said something.

"I heard that those Taoist priests came to help your Huashan Sect, but Huashan is now surrounded and they can't get here. You can go find them, but I don't know if they are still around."

Mr. Mo spoke with a strange expression on his face.

He couldn't understand why the remaining members of the Qingcheng Sect, who had previously wiped out Yu Canghai and his disciples, would come to help Jiang Ning.

Upon hearing that Taoist Zhang had also come to Shaanxi, Jiang Ning nodded.

"I understand, thank you Master Mo."

Since Master Mo Da did not intend to go to Mount Hua, Jiang Ning did not force him. He wanted to go to Hanzhong Prefecture to see if the Taoist priests Zhang and his companions were still there.

Before leaving, Jiang Ning took out the papers that Yue Buqun had given him.

Chapter 210 Unexpected People

"what is this?"

Mr. Mo looked at the stack of papers in Jiang Ning's hand with some curiosity.

"This is a lost sword technique of the Hengshan School."

Jiang Ning offered an explanation, briefly recounting what had happened.

Mr. Mo's eyes widened. He grabbed the paper from Jiang Ning's hand and quickly began to read it. The more he read, the more shocked he became, especially when he saw the counter-moves for the Hengshan Sword Technique, which he found hard to believe.

After a while.

Mr. Mo put the papers away.

"I will personally go up the mountain to thank Master Yue soon."

A serious expression appeared on Mr. Mo's face.

These sword techniques are crucial. Ever since many exquisite Hengshan sword techniques were lost, the Hengshan School has been declining day by day. Not only the Hengshan School, but all the other five mountain sword schools except the Songshan School are also declining.

Now that Yue Buqun has returned the sword technique to their sect, Master Mo is filled with excitement and gratitude.

"Uncle-Master, there's no need for thanks."

Jiang Ning said, "My master said that the Five Mountains Sword Sects are like one family and should help each other. In fact, my master originally wanted to return these sword techniques to the Hengshan, Taishan and Hengshan sects as soon as possible, but the Songshan sect was ambitious and wanted to annex our four sects, so it was delayed until now. Please don't blame Master Mo."

While explaining, Jiang Ning also mentioned this matter.

Unlike Tianmen Daoist's initial shock and anger upon hearing that the Songshan Sect intended to annex the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sects, Master Mo Da remained calm and unsurprised.

It seems that Master Mo already knows about the Songshan Sect's conspiracy.

Looking at the expression on his face, Jiang Ning couldn't help but compare him to the Taoist of Tianmen.

Although both the Hengshan and Taishan sects have been infiltrated by the Songshan sect, Tianmen Daoren, as the sect leader, is still somewhat confused and does not see things as clearly as Master Mo.

"It seems that Sect Leader Yue already knows about Alliance Leader Zuo's ambitions and has made preparations in advance. He has joined forces with Abbess Dingxian and Daoist Tianmen. Then I don't need to worry too much."

Master Mo said, "When you get back, tell Headmaster Yue that the Hengshan Sect will never agree to the merger of the Songshan Sect."

"If the Songshan Sect tries to forcibly annex us, the Hengshan Sect will join forces with the Huashan, Hengshan, and Taishan Sects to resist."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Don't worry, Uncle-Master, I'll take my leave now."

"correct."

Mr. Mo nodded, then seemed to remember something.

"It seems that these people are led by someone called the Four Immortals of Peach Valley. Sima Da and the others call them Holy Envoys. However, these four people have never shown their faces. Sima Da is in charge of commanding them with the token."

Mr. Mo revealed the intelligence he had gathered.

“These people are numerous, but they are not harmonious and have many internal conflicts. After my provocation just now, they have now become chaotic, so you don’t need to worry too much.”

Most of the experts among these people had already been drawn away by Sima Da, leaving few skilled individuals. Moreover, after his outburst, the affair between Ji Wushi and Sima Da was exposed, causing the remaining people to lose trust in Sima Da. Even if Sima Da regains command, it will take longer to organize the next mountain attack.

Mr. Mo accomplished this without shedding a drop of blood.

"Thank you for informing me, Master Uncle. I will take my leave now."

Jiang Ning nodded and thanked him.

What Master Mo did was indeed very useful, which greatly reduced the pressure on Linghu Chong and Abbess Dingyi.

Mr. Mo waved his hand gently.

Jiang Ning then prepared to leave.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang."

Seeing that Jiang Ning was about to leave, Liu Qin, who had been silent all along, thanked Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning glanced back at the person he had saved last year, smiled and nodded, then left.

Watching Jiang Ning's departing figure, Mr. Mo felt a slight sense of melancholy.

Yue Buqun's disciple is indeed quite outstanding; he is already able to share the burden for his master. None of the second-generation disciples of the Hengshan Sect have been able to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

Mr. Mo looked at the paper in his hand again, his excitement still hard to contain.

He never imagined that the sword technique of Hengshan, which had been lost for decades, would one day return to his hands.

Carefully placing the papers back into his pocket, Mr. Mo then left.

"Let's go."

Mr. Mo said something and then headed back the way he came.

"Master, are we going back again?"

Liu Qin was somewhat surprised, but then followed.

"Ah."

Mr. Mo nodded. He had originally planned to make a quick trip and leave, but now he changed his mind.

……

After parting ways with Master Mo and his disciples, Jiang Ning headed towards Hanzhong Prefecture.

I wonder how things are going with the Emei Sect.

The thought of Qingcheng Sect coming to their aid reminded Jiang Ning of Emei Sect, another major sect from Sichuan.

Several months have passed since Huiyin returned, and it is unknown whether the orthodox Emei sect has succeeded.

If successful, it will provide a powerful ally in the future when dealing with the evil cult.

The thought of the Demonic Sect unconsciously brought Ren Yingying to Jiang Ning's mind again.

This enchantress didn't come to lead in person, so where is she now?

When Jiang Ning first heard that these people from all walks of life were coming to attack the Huashan Sect, he thought that Ren Yingying had also come. He didn't expect that Ren Yingying not only didn't come, but only sent the Four Immortals of Peach Valley to make up the numbers, and even made such a big commotion.

As Jiang Ning was deep in thought, he suddenly noticed something strange coming from behind him.

rustle.

An unusual noise came from the bushes behind us.

Jiang Ning's expression turned cold. He drew his sword and slashed to the left, unleashing a burst of sword energy.

A figure suddenly emerged from the bushes not far away.

Upon realizing he was being followed, Jiang Ning's expression turned cold, and he immediately wanted to attack.

"Wait a minute, do it!"

The person who came shouted loudly.

The voice suddenly felt strangely familiar to Jiang Ning.

When the person's face was fully revealed, Jiang Ning's eyes showed surprise.

He never expected to see Liu Zhengfeng at this time.

"Junior Brother Jiang, it's been a long time."

Liu Zhengfeng looked at Jiang Ning with a wry smile.

After seeing Jiang Ning and Master Mo part ways, he tried to catch up with Jiang Ning, but Jiang Ning was too fast for him to keep up.

The disciples of the Huashan Sect are growing up so fast.

Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

Jiang Ning looked him up and down.

"I wonder what brings Uncle Liu here? Did you come with Qu Yang?"
