The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 158

When hearing this question, even Jiang Ning couldn’t help but be at a loss for a moment.

This touched upon his blind spot in knowledge.

Jiang Ning lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and asked, “Is there anything that is not going well for Senior Sister Lingshan recently?”

Linghu Chong frowned and thought hard. After a moment, his eyes lit up and he thought of something: “Yes, Junior Sister has a few sword techniques that she can’t practice well. She is very worried recently.”

Jiang Ning seemed to be thinking about something, and said, “Then why don’t you discuss swordsmanship with Senior Sister, and then teach her how to practice. Over time, they will develop a good relationship.”

“good idea!”

Linghu Chong’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder and kept praising him, “Junior brother, no wonder Master always praises you. Not only are you talented, but you’re also smart. You’re much better than me.”

“Then I will go find my junior sister. You can go see the master by yourself.”

After getting the solution, Linghu Chong no longer went to see Yue Buqun, and hurried to catch up with Yue Lingshan.

After saying this, Linghu Chong left in a hurry without waiting for Jiang Ning’s answer.

Jiang Ning’s expression was a little strange.

I never thought that he would become a military strategist one day.

Chapter 188: Discussion

Chapter 188: Negotiation

Jiang Ning, who temporarily said goodbye to Linghu Chong and the other two, had no interest in taking care of their subsequent affairs. He brought Liu Zhao all the way to the main hall, where Yue Buqun was talking with Tianmen Taoist and others.

“Brother Liu and Brother Xie are both chivalrous and brave, and they fight for justice in the martial arts world. The name of the Dian Cang Twin Swords is known throughout the martial arts world. Seeing them today, I can see that they are indeed worthy of their reputation and look very handsome.”

Yue Buqun laughed.

Xie Xing and Liu Bolin both looked embarrassed.

Seeing this, Yue Buqun’s smile deepened.

In the conversation just now, he found that these two people had relatively straightforward personalities and did not have any ulterior motives. To put it bluntly, they were just greenhorns.

These two people came from Hunan. According to them, they have been wandering around the martial arts world for so many years and rarely returned to Dian Cang Sect, mainly because the leader of Dian Cang Sect did not allow them to go back.

To use the original words of the leader of the Dian Cang Sect, the Dian Cang Sect is located in Yunnan, far away from the Central Plains, and its fame cannot be spread there. These two people have good martial arts skills, and the leader hopes that they can make a name for themselves in the world and increase the presence of the Dian Cang Sect.

Xie Xing and Liu Bolin were very touched to see that the headmaster entrusted them with such an important task. After that, they traveled around the martial arts world. They also named themselves the Dian Cang Twin Swords and added the name of their own sect.

But Yue Buqun didn’t think so.

Just now, when they were discussing how to deal with the forces under the command of the Demon Cult at the foot of the mountain, they kept saying that they would rush down and kill them to make those people know that evil cannot prevail over good. Yue Buqun got a headache when he heard it.

As they are all leaders of a sect, Yue Buqun learned from his conversation with Xie Xing and Liu Bolin that although these two people are good in martial arts, they are a bit naive and have the same reckless character as his wife.

In the past, when Ning Zhongze knew that the Songshan Sect wanted to annex the Five Mountains Sects, he also had this reckless character. He said that he would gather the other three sects and fight the Songshan Sect in a big battle. Even if he could not win and died, he would have the face to see his ancestors.

But Ning Zhongze was his wife after all, and she listened to him. The leader of Dian Cang Sect was probably fed up with these two people, so he found an excuse to send them out.

“Master Yue, just give us your orders. My two brothers and I will do whatever you arrange.”

After Yue Buqun’s persuasion, these two stubborn guys finally listened.

Yue Buqun smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, the two of you. Although the enemy has a large number of people and is powerful, the terrain of Huashan is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We can use the geographical advantage to deal with them.”

Huashan is steep and difficult to climb, but it is very easy to defend if used as a battlefield. As long as some key nodes are guarded, the enemy can suffer heavy casualties.

“Ning’er, you’re here too? Come in.”

At this time Yue Buqun saw Jiang Ning outside and immediately called out.

Jiang Ning walked in upon hearing this and greeted his master, mistress and other seniors.

“Okay, okay, no need to be so polite.”

Yue Buqun waved his hand and said, “It’s a good thing you’re here. Your uncle and I are also discussing how to arrange the manpower.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning said directly: “Master, please give me your instructions.”

Yue Buqun hesitated for a moment and said, “You go and guard the Qianchi Cottage. I will pick you up when the time comes.”

The first dangerous pass of Mount Huashan is Qianchi Chuang, followed by Baichi Gorge and Laojun Ligou. These three passes are one after another and are very steep.

Originally, due to lack of manpower, Yue Buqun planned to guard these places for a while and set traps in these places, and then let Jiang Ning guard the Changkong Plank Road, while he himself would guard another road.

But with the addition of nearly 300 new forces including Master Dingyi and Taoist Tianmen, Yue Buqun directly moved the battle line forward and let Jiang Ning guard the Qianchi Building.

By then, he and Jiang Ning will stand on the Qianchi Chuang, and together with Ning Zhongze, Feng Buping, and other masters such as Master Dingyi and others, as well as disciples from the three sects, will take turns to support. By then, there will be piles of corpses at the foot of Mount Hua.

Jiang Ning nodded: “Okay.”

He had no objection.

Others like Ding Yi, Ding Jing, and Dian Cang Shuang Jian had no idea either, as Jiang Ning had already demonstrated his strength in the previous encounter, and ordinary first-class masters were no match for him.

“Master Yue.”

At this time, Liu Bolin spoke, frowning slightly.

“I heard that the Five Poison Sect is here too.”

Yue Buqun looked towards Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning nodded: “Yes, I have some friendship with Taoist Zhang of Qingcheng Sect. A few days ago, he sent a letter saying that the Five Poison Sect members were coming to Shaanxi in large numbers. I think they came for Huashan.”

At this time Jiang Ning talked about an incident that happened to him in Sichuan.

“When I was heading to Emei Sect after resolving the misunderstanding with Qingcheng Sect, I met a Miao girl on the road. The Miao girl behaved strangely and came here specifically for me.”

“That Miao girl was a member of the Five Poison Sect. She was ordered by the Demon Sect’s witch to approach me. Later, I killed that Miao girl. When I returned to Shaanxi, I met the witch in Hanzhong Prefecture and discovered this series of events.”

Everyone present except Yue Buqun looked surprised; they did not expect the cause of the incident to be like this.

Jiang Ning never told Yue Buqun about Ren Yingying sending the Miao girl to approach him and the group of experts chasing after her, and Ning Zhongze and Feng Buping were not aware of it either.

Now they understood why Jiang Ning chased Ren Yingying for three hundred miles. It turned out that there had been a dispute for a long time. They thought it was an accident.

Liu Bolin frowned.

“If that’s the case, Sect Leader Yue should be careful.”

Liu Bolin said: “The Five Poison Sect is entrenched in the southwest. In the past, they had conflicts with our Dian Cang Sect. Although their members’ martial arts are not very good, they are very good at using poison. People will be poisoned to death without knowing it, especially their leader, whose name is Lan Fenghuang.”

“Lan Fenghuang’s martial arts are not top-notch, but his poison skills are the best in the world. He is very troublesome.”

“You may not know that a few years ago, a sect in Yunnan offended the Blue Phoenix. Afterwards, all the members of the sect died overnight. The sect was filled with poisonous fog. The entire sect was filled with scorpions, centipedes, poisonous insects and other highly poisonous creatures. The deaths were extremely miserable.”

Liu Bolin looked solemn: “If the Five Poison Sect is led by Lan Fenghuang this time, then Sect Leader Yue must be careful. When you meet them, remember not to have physical contact with them, let alone get stained with their blood.”

“These Miao people are full of poisonous insects. Even their blood is highly poisonous. If you are infected, you will be seriously injured even if you don’t die.”

Yue Buqun’s expression became serious.

Poison is something that cannot be treated normally. It is not comparable to martial arts. An inferior person can easily kill a first-rate master with poison as long as he uses the right methods.

He really needs to pay attention to this.

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun said gratefully: “Thank you, Brother Liu, for reminding me. I am very grateful.”

After re-negotiating the deployment, Jiang Ning planned to go to Qianchi Chuang to guard it. Yue Buqun asked the other Huashan disciples to assist him, and the other two sects sent some disciples to Jinsuo Pass, Canglong Ridge and other places to provide support at any time.

The war is imminent.

……

At the foot of Huashan Mountain.

A long black shadow appeared on the horizon far away from Huashan. Looking closely, it was a large number of people from the martial arts world rushing towards Huashan. From a high vantage point, it seemed endless, and there were at least thousands of people.

Chapter 189: Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? (Two in one)

After Jiang Ning left the main hall, he returned to his room to get his sword, and then planned to go to Qianchi Chuang. On the way, he passed by an open space where Linghu Chong was practicing swordsmanship with Yue Lingshan.

“You are here to make fun of me, aren’t you?”

Yue Lingshan seemed very angry, and her voice was so loud that even Jiang Ning could hear it.

Linghu Chong looked anxious and kept gesticulating with his hands as if trying to explain.

“Junior sister, you misunderstood. That’s not what I meant. I wanted to teach you.”

Yue Lingshan became even angrier.

“Teach me? Is that the way you teach? You just come up and beat me up, and then you say that I haven’t practiced well enough. Who wants you to teach me?”

“I won’t practice with you anymore!”

Yue Lingshan snorted heavily, picked up the sword that Linghu Chong had just knocked off the ground, and left angrily.

“Little junior sister.”

Linghu Chong was shouting from behind, but Yue Lingshan turned a deaf ear to him.

“Hey.”

Looking at Yue Lingshan’s departing back, Linghu Chong sighed, as dejected as a defeated rooster. He picked up the scabbard from the ground and prepared to leave. The next second, he saw Jiang Ning not far away.

“Little junior brother.”

Linghu Chong showed a bitter smile on his face and then walked towards Jiang Ning.

“What’s wrong, Big Brother, it doesn’t work?”

Jiang Ning was surprised.

Normally, this kind of situation would help promote feelings. At that time, Linghu Chong would just need to give in and say a few nice words to coax Yue Lingshan. Why did things turn out like this?

“I don’t know either. Everything was fine at first, but then Junior Sister got angry.”

Linghu Chong narrated what had happened with a sad face.

When he first came to find Yue Lingshan, although Yue Lingshan had a stern face, she was still willing to talk to him. It was not until the two began to practice sword skills that Linghu Chong picked out Yue Lingshan’s flaws and pointed out her shortcomings, making Yue Lingshan more and more embarrassed and angry. In the end, Linghu Chong got so angry that he knocked Yue Lingshan’s sword to the ground, and the following scene happened.

“Junior brother, I clearly did what you said, why is Junior Sister even more angry?”

Linghu Chong sighed in worry, with an expression that showed he was having a hard time.

“…”
