Upon seeing Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze immediately asked him a question.
"Uncle-Master, where are my master and the others?"
Li Jinyu, whose face was still somewhat pale, asked nervously.
Yue Buqun shook his head and said, "Your master was saved and is now on his way back to Mount Tai, but what about your fellow disciples..."
Yue Buqun didn't finish speaking, but Li Jinyu already understood what he meant.
Chapter 276: Indeed, difficult to coax
Li Jinyu looked somber.
In fact, he was already mentally prepared when he came to Mount Hua to seek help, but he still couldn't hide his grief when he heard the news of his fellow disciples' deaths.
Large tears fell down his face.
The man did not shed tears, but he did not go to the sad place.
"I am sorry for your loss."
Yue Buqun patted him on the shoulder and offered a word of comfort.
"Uncle-Master, is my master injured?"
Li Jinyu wiped away her tears and asked.
Yue Buqun shook his head: "Your master is fine and is already on his way back to Mount Tai."
Upon hearing this news, Li Jinyu's sorrowful mood finally eased somewhat.
Yue Buqun added, "Your master said that you should rest and recuperate at Mount Hua. You will be able to see your master when you go to Mount Song with us in June to attend the Five Mountains Alliance Conference."
"Yes, uncle."
Upon hearing that it was Tianmen Daoist's order, Li Jinyu neither made a fuss about returning to Mount Tai, but obediently nodded.
"Junior sister, what's been happening at Mount Hua these past two days?"
Yue Buqun looked at Ning Zhongze and asked.
"Have."
Ning Zhongze nodded, his expression serious, and said, "Yesterday, Master Mo sent someone to deliver a message, saying that someone ambushed them on their way back to Hunan."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun's expression turned serious, and he quickly asked, "What happened next?"
Ning Zhongze continued, "However, they were discovered in advance by Mr. Mo, so they are unharmed."
Having roamed the martial world and ventured into dangerous places, Master Mo had an extremely keen sense of danger. Sensing that someone was lying in ambush on the road, he led the Hengshan disciples on a detour and successfully avoided the ambush.
"That's good."
Yue Buqun breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Mo believes that those are the witch's people who want to ambush them. Fearing that they might come back, he specially sent his disciple to inform us. Now Master Mo is waiting for our reply. If it is indeed the witch who has sent people to harm Mount Hua again, Master Mo will bring the Hengshan Sect back to support us at any time."
Ning Zhongze said.
"I understand. I will reply to Mr. Mo later."
Yue Buqun nodded without saying anything more, then asked, "Is there any news about Abbess Dingyi and the others?"
"This is not."
Ning Zhong shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun frowned and then said, "Both the Taishan Sect and the Hengshan Sect have been attacked. I'm afraid Master Dingyi and the others have also been attacked. There's no news from the Hengshan Sect right now. I have to go down the mountain."
Seeing that Yue Buqun was about to go down the mountain again as soon as he returned, Ning Zhongze had some questions to ask, but she could only nod.
"it is good."
After giving a brief explanation, Yue Buqun returned to his room.
Before descending the mountain, he wanted to write a letter back to Mr. Mo.
"Senior brother, is this a demoness taking revenge on our Five Mountains Sword Sect?"
As soon as she returned to the room, Ning Zhongze ground ink for Yue Buqun and raised her own questions.
"No."
Yue Buqun picked up his brush and wrote a letter to Master Mo while replying, "This time, it was assassins sent by Zuo Lengchan who ambushed Tianmen Daoist and his group. Now, Master Mo's side has also been attacked, which is probably also arranged by Zuo Lengchan."
"what?"
Ning Zhongze was startled, and unconsciously stopped grinding ink.
As Yue Buqun wrote the letter, he explained the course of events and their outcome. Ning Zhongze listened with rage and slammed her hand on the table.
"Too deceiving!"
"Senior brother, Zuo Lengchan has been doing this all along. He sent spies to infiltrate our Huashan Sect before, and then sent Senior Brother Feng and the others to Huashan to provoke a second sword qi conflict. Now he's taking ruthless measures against our sects. I can't tolerate this anymore!"
Ning Zhongze said angrily.
"Why don't we join forces with the other three factions and have a grand battle with the Songshan faction? Even if we lose and die, we'll have the face to face our ancestors!"
Ning Zhongze's sudden slap made Yue Buqun's hand holding the pen tremble, and the words he wrote were crooked.
"Here you go again."
Yue Buqun was helpless.
Ning Zhongze would say things like that again, always wanting to make a big splash and always wanting to go down to meet his ancestors.
Yue Buqun frowned and said, "It's easy to die, but what about the legacy left by our ancestors?"
"You're always like this, hesitant and indecisive. Zuo Lengchan has already made a move against us. Do you have to wait until he holds a knife to our throats before you take action?"
Ning Zhongze's temper flared up at this moment. She flung her hand away, turned her head away, and completely ignored Yue Buqun.
Seeing his wife's anger, Yue Buqun's tone softened, and he said, "I didn't say we wouldn't take action, but at least we should be prepared, right? Putting aside everything else, quite a few people within the Hengshan Sect have defected to Zuo Lengchan, and Yu Panzi and the others from the Taishan Sect have also sided with the Songshan Sect. If we don't deal with them, how can we deal with Zuo Lengchan?"
Hearing Yue Buqun say this, Ning Zhongze did not change her posture, but her expression had been persuaded by Yue Buqun.
Yue Buqun put down his pen, got up and went to Ning Zhongze, coaxing her.
"I have decided to take action against Zuo Lengchan at the Five Sacred Mountains Alliance Leaders Conference in Songshan in June to compete for the position of Alliance Leader."
"Really?"
Ning Zhongze was somewhat surprised to hear this news.
"Ah."
Yue Buqun nodded.
"Brother Tianmen is already on his way back to the Taishan Sect. I imagine he will take some action against his uncles. As for Master Mo, he will also clean up the traitors within the sect. Once they are all ready, when the four sects arrive at Mount Song, it will be time to confront Zuo Lengchan."
"Great!"
Ning Zhongze's expression brightened with joy.
“I have long been dissatisfied with Zuo Lengchan. He has been trying to annex us. We will let him know that we would rather die than live in dishonor.”
Ning Zhongze looked at Yue Buqun and said, "Senior brother, don't worry. Even if we are no match for the Songshan Sect, I won't blame you if you die, and neither will our ancestors."
Yue Buqun smiled helplessly and said, "Talking about death is unlucky."
"Do you really want to see your ancestors that much? You may want to see your ancestors, but they don't want to see us."
Ning Zhongze felt a little embarrassed when she heard Yue Buqun teasing her.
The main reason was that she knew Yue Buqun had devoted himself to Mount Hua so much, in order not to disappoint her father's expectations and not to ruin the family's legacy. She said this to prevent Yue Buqun from blaming himself too much.
"Alright, hurry up and grind the ink for me. If you don't grind the ink, I won't be able to reply to Mr. Mo."
Yue Buqun gestured with his lips.
Ning Zhongze gave a soft hum and said nothing, but continued grinding ink for Yue Buqun.
After writing the letter, Yue Buqun handed it to the Hengshan disciple sent by Master Mo Da, instructing him to be careful on his journey, and then prepared to descend the mountain.
"Master, let me go with you."
Just as Yue Buqun was preparing to leave the mountain, Jiang Ning found him.
"Senior brother, I'll go too."
"And I."
Feng Buping and Linghu Chong also arrived.
Yue Buqun thought for a moment and shook his head: "Ning'er and I will go."
It's also more convenient for two people to move around.
Without uttering any further words, Yue Buqun and Jiang Ning descended the mountain shortly after arriving.
Jiang Ning was still riding Maodou, while Yue Buqun was riding the same horse that Feng Buping and Linghu Chong had ridden before.
Fortunately, the horse we borrowed before wasn't returned, so we don't need to borrow another one.
"Let's go."
After saying this, Yue Buqun rode his horse towards Hengshan.
"Come on, Maodou."
Jiang Ning patted Maodou's donkey head.
However, Maodou was a little upset and threw a tantrum.
"what happened to you?"
Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised.
Maodou raised his donkey head and ignored Jiangning.
Jiangning did not keep its promise that it could eat whatever it wanted and be fed as much as it wanted.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and understood, saying, "These are special circumstances. I'll definitely make sure you eat well when I get back. When have I ever lied to you?"
Jiang Ning coaxed Maodou for a while before finally getting her to calm down, and then they prepared to set off.
"You donkey have quite a personality."
Yue Buqun, who witnessed Jiang Ning coaxing Maodou, was somewhat surprised.
Jiang Ning was also somewhat embarrassed at this moment.
"It's stubborn and a bit hard to appease."
Yue Buqun seemed to have thought of something and nodded.
"I know."
They're really hard to coax.
Chapter 277: The Three Treasures of the Human Body (Two Combined)
After calming Maodou down, Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun set off.
Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun traveled towards Datong for some time before arriving at a village.
"Master, I'll go in and ask them if they've seen any trace of Uncle Dingyi."
Jiangning Road.
"Ah."
Yue Buqun nodded and waited outside the village. Jiang Ning went in and came out not long after.
"They went that way."
Jiang Ning pointed northwest.
