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

Page 531

"Judging from the sheer number of people in the Kunlun Sect, there must be over a thousand."

"Why do I feel like there are more than two thousand people?"

"The leader of the Kunlun Sect is truly a chivalrous and righteous man!"

Zhen Shanzi, who had already joined the battle, also heard the conversations of the martial arts practitioners around him. Although his expression remained unchanged, a smile was clearly revealed on his face.

The Kunlun Sect did indeed send more than two thousand people this time, but not just a little over two thousand; it was close to three thousand.

Originally, Zhenshanzi only planned to bring about 800 people after receiving Yue Buqun's proclamation to exterminate the demon.

After all, the Kunlun Sect is so far away, it's already quite good that they were able to bring eight hundred people.

But when he heard that the imperial court had also intervened, and that the local governments along the way were giving the green light to martial arts practitioners and righteous sects who wanted to exterminate the demons, and even providing them with food and lodging, Zhenshanzi gritted his teeth and led nearly three thousand Kunlun disciples to join the battle. His sect only left a few dozen people behind to take care of them, and it was almost the entire sect that came.

Zhen Shanzi clearly realized that, given the grand context of this demon-slaying campaign, which was destined to be recorded in the annals of martial arts, as long as his Kunlun Sect performed exceptionally well in this operation, the Kunlun Sect would surely become famous in the future, and even without the backing of Shaolin, it would have enough influence in the Central Plains.

My Kunlun Sect was once one of the six major sects. How can we remain subservient to Shaolin for long?

Realizing this, Zhenshanzi went all in without hesitation, bringing all the remaining forces of the Kunlun Sect with him.

Zhenshanzi raised his sword and shouted.

"Disciples of Kunlun, vanquish the demon!"

"Yes!"

Nearly three thousand Kunlun disciples shouted in unison, their expressions filled with excitement.

Before they arrived, their sect leader Zhenshanzi had told them that this was their chance to become famous throughout the world. All the Kunlun disciples were full of energy and devoted themselves to fighting the enemy.

The righteous faction was overjoyed, while the demonic faction, which had already begun to crumble, was now suffering even greater losses.

"Hahaha, big monk."

Ren Woxing laughed loudly.

"You certainly care deeply for your disciple, but you're injured now. How can you fight me?"

At this moment, Fang Zheng's face was somewhat pale, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he was being supported by Fang Sheng.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, are you alright?"

Fang Sheng looked at Fang Zheng with a worried expression, and then heard Ren Woxing's loud laughter and looked over angrily.

"Ren Woxing! You are supposed to be the leader of a sect, yet you resort to such despicable means!"

Previously, Fang Zheng and Ren Woxing fought. Although Ren Woxing's martial arts were superior, he was still inferior to Fang Zheng. Seeing that he was no match for Fang Zheng, Ren Woxing suddenly made a ruthless move and tried to kill a Shaolin disciple. Fang Zheng was shocked and hurriedly made a move, but he fell into Ren Woxing's trap. Ren Woxing seized this slight opening and struck Fang Zheng's dantian with a palm, which led to the scene before him.

"Hahaha, despicable?"

Ren Woxing laughed loudly.

"In a life-or-death struggle, any means are acceptable as long as victory is achieved; how can it be considered despicable?"

After saying that, Ren Woxing's face darkened.

"The victor lives, the loser dies! As long as I, this old man, prevail today, no one will remember the loser. This is an eternal truth!"

"Great monk, today is the day you die!"

Having said that, Ren Woxing was about to make his move.

Fang Zheng has just taken a blow to his dantian and cannot use his internal energy for a short time. Now is the perfect opportunity to kill this number one righteous person!

"you dare!"

Fang Sheng was furious and shielded Fang Zheng behind him, trying desperately to stop Ren Woxing.

The other Shaolin disciples also looked at Ren Woxing as if facing a formidable enemy.

However, at that moment, a member of the demonic cult ran over, looking anxious.

"Master! Master!"

This person came to Ren Woxing's side and hurriedly said.

"Master, the Holy Maiden has ordered that we are no match for her and the battle is beyond our control. She has sent me to find you and we must retreat immediately!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Woxing's expression suddenly darkened.

Seeing that he was about to kill Fang Zheng, why let him retreat now?

The demonic sect immediately informed Ren Woxing that Jiang Ning had invaded their rear and caused the loss of many messengers, and that Ren Yingying had lost control of the demonic sect.

Ren Woxing's face was extremely ugly. He glanced at Fang Zheng, whose face was pale, and gritted his teeth.

"withdraw!"

Ren Woxing originally intended to take advantage of the situation to defeat Fang Zheng and capture him alive. He planned to absorb Fang Zheng's internal energy, but Fang Zheng would be unable to resist, and his profound internal energy would surely fall into his hands. However, unexpectedly, a major change occurred, and Ren Woxing had no choice but to leave in resentment.

Seeing Ren Woxing retreat, Fang Sheng and the other Shaolin disciples breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sect Leader, Ren Woxing has retreated."

Fang Sheng turned to Fang Zheng and said.

Fang Zheng nodded and was about to take a step, but the next second his body swayed and a sharp pain came from his dantian. Fang Zheng's brows furrowed slightly.

"Senior Brother Sect Leader, your dantian is injured and you should not move around for the time being. Let me help you."

Fang Sheng quickly helped him up, his face filled with worry.

"It's alright, I'm fine."

Fang Zheng shook his head slightly.

At this moment, a Shaolin disciple walked over, knelt down in front of Fang Zheng, and looked ashamed.

"Abbot, it is all my fault that you fell into the devil's trap. I am filled with remorse and beg you to punish me."

"It's not your fault."

Fang Zheng shook his head slightly.

"Ren Woxing's martial arts skills are far beyond your ability to deal with. As the abbot of Shaolin, I have a duty to protect the Shaolin disciples. My injury was due to my underestimation of him, and it has nothing to do with you. There is no need for you to blame yourself."

"Abbott..."

The Shaolin disciple was deeply moved upon hearing this and choked up, pressing his head to the ground.

"Alright, now is not the time for further words. The demonic sect has not yet retreated. All Shaolin disciples should do their utmost to defend against the enemy and protect our righteous path."

Fang Zheng addressed the Shaolin disciples around him.

"Yes! Abbot!"

The Shaolin disciples shouted loudly.

After hearing what Fang Zheng said to the Shaolin disciple, all the Shaolin disciples were deeply moved and loved and supported Fang Zheng even more.

"I admire my senior brother's care for his disciples so much."

Fang Shengdao.

In Fang Sheng's mind, Fang Zheng was just a Shaolin disciple. As the master of Shaolin, Fang Zheng shouldn't have taken the risk for a Shaolin disciple, but Fang Zheng did it anyway, which made Fang Sheng admire him greatly.

"We will both eventually pass away. The future of the martial world will not belong to us, but to them. They are the future of Shaolin. I am old and frail, but their journey in the martial world has just begun. Their future is still very bright. It is well worth it to exchange my life for theirs."

Fang Zheng remained calm; how could he not know what his junior brother was thinking?

But as the abbot of Shaolin, he has responsibilities to shoulder.

Chapter 726: The Desperate Leader of the Diancang Sect

The evil cult has been defeated.

After Ren Yingying and Ren Woxing left, the already struggling Demonic Sect completely collapsed and scattered in all directions.

"Chase!"

Seeing the demonic cult members scattering and fleeing all over the mountains, the righteous martial arts practitioners immediately shouted.

"Kill!!!"

The righteous martial arts practitioners relentlessly pursued and killed the fleeing members of the demonic sect.

Seeing the Demonic Sect's defeat, Liu Zhengfeng, who was fighting with Master Mo, was about to leave, but was stopped by Master Mo.

"Stay!"

Mr. Mo Da's feelings were sincere and heartfelt.

Liu Zhengfeng paused for a moment, then shook his head.

"Take care, senior brother. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, Liu Zhengfeng left without lingering, following the direction in which the main force of the Demonic Sect retreated.

Master Mo stood there, sword in hand, staring blankly at Liu Zhengfeng's departing figure.

"Ugh."

Master Mo sighed, sheathed his sword, and joined Yue Buqun and the others.

"Alliance Leader! A resounding victory! A great victory indeed!"

The Taoist of Tianmen excitedly said to Yue Buqun.

"Yes, a resounding victory."

Yue Buqun nodded with a smile.

"Alliance Leader, I failed to capture Liu Zhengfeng due to my own shortcomings."

Mr. Mo walked over and bowed.

Yue Buqun naturally said, "Liu Zhengfeng's martial arts skills are not low. Even if I wanted to capture him, it would not be easy. Master Mo, you don't need to blame yourself."

Did they still fail to persuade Liu Zhengfeng?

Yue Buqun sighed inwardly.

"Alliance Leader Yue, esteemed sect leaders, our Kunlun Sect is late. We hope you will not take offense."

Zhenshanzi gracefully approached from afar and greeted the leaders of the various sects present with a cupped-fist salute.

"Brother Zhenshan, you flatter me."

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun composed himself and said, "The Kunlun Sect is located far away in the Kunlun Mountains. It is already commendable that your sect is willing to travel thousands of miles to suppress the demon. Moreover, it is not too late now. We greatly admire Brother Zhenshan's chivalrous heart, so how could we blame him?"

"Indeed, we have all witnessed Mr. Zhenshanzi leading the Kunlun Sect on a long journey to provide assistance."

Mr. Mo also spoke up.

To be honest, among all the sects, the Kunlun Sect was the furthest away. Before setting off, Yue Buqun had given up hope that the Kunlun Sect would come, but they did. Not only did they come, but they also came at the right time, and judging from their scale, it seemed that the entire sect had come.

The Kunlun Sect is truly a good friend; no one can find fault with them.

The other sect leaders also spoke, expressing their deep admiration for Zhenshanzi.

Upon hearing the opinions expressed by the leaders of each sect, Zhen Shanzi couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, it is the duty of the righteous path to eliminate demons and protect the righteous. This demon Ren Woxing has been wreaking havoc on the martial world. If we do not eliminate him, who knows how much more chaos he will cause? Now that the righteous path is united in its determination to eliminate him, even if my Kunlun Sect is thousands of miles away, we will surely come!"

"Amitabha Buddha, after today's battle, our righteous path will flourish."

While everyone was chatting, Fang Zheng walked over with Fang Sheng's help.

"Master Fang Zheng? What's this?"

Everyone was surprised to see that Fang Zheng was not in a good state.

"When the abbot was fighting Ren Woxing, he was caught in Ren Woxing's trick and was injured by him."

Fang Sheng answered for Fang Zheng, his expression indignant.

"Ren Woxing was no match for Abbot, so he ambushed our disciples. My senior brother rushed to their aid and fell into the devil's trap!"

Everyone was surprised to hear Fang Sheng's words.

"Hmph! This devil is so cunning,"

Zhenshanzi said coldly.
