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

Page 222

Although his hatred for Dongfang Bubai was so intense that he wished he could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, his patience was better than Ren Yingying's.

"I have just been released from West Lake Prison and I do not know what changes have occurred within the sect."

Ren Woxing remained calm.

"I've heard you say that the Sun Moon Cult is currently in disarray?"

Xiang Wentian quickly replied, "Yes, Master, ever since Dongfang Bubai took over, he has been purging the brothers in the sect. Later, Yang Lianting purged them even more ruthlessly. Many brothers and elders who were loyal to the Master died or fled. Now, many people in the sect are dissatisfied with Yang Lianting."

"Ah."

Ren Woxing nodded and said, "In that case, let's not rush to Blackwood Cliff. Let's win over these people first. Aren't they dissatisfied with that Yang Lianting? Tell those elders and incense masters that as long as they are loyal to me, past grievances will not be pursued."

Ren Woxing's plan was to first gather manpower and restore his strength, and then settle accounts with Dongfang Bubai.

"Yes, Master."

He bowed to Wentian and agreed.

"Father, if we don't go find Dongfang Bubai, where should we go now?"

Ren Yingying asked.

"I heard that the Five Mountains Sword Sects are going to re-elect their leader at Mount Song in June. Shall we go and watch the excitement?"

"Don't go."

Ren Woxing refused.

"It's just a small-scale operation; I have no interest in it."

Ren Woxing's most important task now is to resolve his own Star Absorbing Technique problem. He will not get involved in any matters in the martial arts world until he has resolved it.

Dongfang Bubai probably doesn't know yet that he's been released from West Lake prison. He needs to use this time to recover.

"The leader."

Xiang Wentian then spoke.

"Yingying just mentioned the Five Mountains Sword Sect, which reminded me of something."

Ren Woxing looked at him: "What is it?"

Xiang Wentian said, "There's a brat from the Huashan Sect who chased after Yingying a while ago."

"Oh?"

Ren Woxing frowned, then looked at Ren Yingying.

"what happened?"

Ren Yingying had not told him about this.

"It's nothing, Dad, it's just a small matter."

Ren Yingying's expression remained calm.

Ren Woxing frowned and turned to look at Xiang Wentian.

"Brother Xiang, you speak."

Xiang Wentian quickly said, "It's like this, last year when Yingying was in Shaanxi, she was chased by a Huashan Sect disciple named Jiang Ning, and almost died at the hands of that brat..."

Ren Woxing frowned slightly after hearing this. His first reaction was not to fly into a rage, but to ask, "Does the Huashan Sect have such an outstanding disciple?"

Although he hadn't seen Ren Yingying for over a decade, he knew that Ren Yingying was extremely talented and her current strength was no less than that of the major sect leaders. How could a mere Huashan disciple possibly hunt her down?

"Master, that little brat is indeed quite formidable."

Xiang Wentian briefly recounted Jiang Ning's deeds and the events of last year when Ren Yingying's forces besieged Mount Hua.

"Ning Yanwang? Interesting."

Ren Woxing laughed when he heard the title "Jiangning".

"A righteous disciple has the title of a living Yama. I never expected that Yue Buqun could teach such a disciple. It's really interesting."

Ren Yingying's expression was not very good at this moment.

At that moment, a woman dressed in Miao ethnic clothing walked in from outside.

"Holy Maiden, we have found the Four Immortals of Peach Valley."

Lan Fenghuang said to Ren Yingying.

Upon hearing these four names, Ren Yingying's face darkened, becoming even more unsightly than before.

"Where are they?"

Although it was a question, the anger in the tone was palpable to everyone present.

"Just outside."

Blue Phoenix bowed slightly.

"Let them in!"

As soon as Ren Yingying finished speaking, four people rushed in from outside; they were none other than the Four Immortals of Peach Valley.

The four immortals of Peach Valley looked disheveled, covered in dust and dirt, especially Peach Branch Immortal, who had even lost a front tooth.

Upon seeing Ren Yingying, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley cried out as if they had seen a relative. Before Ren Yingying could even ask any questions, they began to wail.

"Holy Maiden, we four brothers thought we would never see you again!"

The four of them cried their eyes out.

Peach Leaf Fairy plopped down on the ground, grabbed a handful of paper from her bosom, and threw it into the air while crying.

Chapter 306: If You Will Not Abandon Me

"Crying! You still have the nerve to cry!"

Seeing the appearance of these four people, Ren Yingying was furious.

"You've made such a mess of things, and I haven't even questioned you yet, and you're still crying!"

A surge of anger rose within Ren Yingying.

"What exactly happened? Why did so many people die? How could thousands of you be wiped out overnight? Tell me everything!"

Ren Yingying said sternly.

Rumors throughout the martial arts world circulated that the righteous sects had annihilated the members of the demonic sect that night, but no one had revealed that Master Mo had colluded with them from within. Ren Yingying still didn't know about it.

Upon hearing this, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley instinctively shrank back.

"me……"

The four immortals, including Peach Root Immortal and Peach Leaf Immortal, looked at each other, not daring to speak.

Ren Yingying sensed something was wrong as soon as she saw them acting like this and immediately scolded them.

"Say!"

The Four Immortals of Peach Valley shuddered.

"You're the eldest brother, you speak."

Peach Leaf Fairy shifted her position slightly and said to Peach Root Fairy.

Peach Blossom Fairy and Peach Branch Fairy also stepped back.

"..."

Feeling the death stare of Ren Yingying, Tao Genxian swallowed hard and recounted the whole story in detail, not daring to hide anything. He quickly mentioned that Ren Mo Da, one of the Four Immortals of Peach Valley, was the commander.

Ren Yingying's expression stiffened as she listened, but it didn't change much until the Four Immortals of Peach Valley mentioned Master Mo.

"Who is that Old Jia?"

Ren Yingying questioned.

"Didn't I tell you? Once you get there, don't get involved. Just use my name. Delay as long as you can. Let your subordinates handle how to attack Mount Hua. Although Sima Da is not very talented, I don't need them to actually attack Mount Hua. Surrounding Mount Hua is enough. Who told you to change generals at the last minute?"

Tao Genxian said with a bitter face, "We didn't want to either, but at that time, everyone in the camp was saying that Sima Da and Ji Wushi were in cahoots to lure them up to their deaths. We couldn't suppress it, so we had to change people."

Hearing this, Ren Yingying frowned slightly.

Those people were unruly and disobedient to everyone except her. If she didn't personally take charge, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley probably wouldn't be able to control them.

Thinking about this, Ren Yingying felt that she might have been too harsh on the Four Immortals of Peach Valley. Her anger subsided slightly, and her tone softened, but she still kept a stern face.

"Who is this Old Jia? I've never heard of him. Are you familiar with him? Why did you give him command authority?"

That won't work anymore.

Hearing Ren Yingying pressing Mo Da about his false identity, Tao Genxian forced himself to speak.

"He is an undercover agent of the Five Mountains Sword Sect."

Tao Genxian was very guilty and spoke very softly, but everyone present was a master, and they could hear him clearly no matter how softly he spoke.

"What???"

Ren Yingying heard it clearly, but her mind obviously didn't process it, and she subconsciously asked a question.

Tao Genxian said with a bitter face, "That old Jia is from the Five Mountains Sword Sect. That night, old Jia acted as an inside man, stole all our weapons, and drugged us. We were wiped out."

At this point, a few tears welled up in Tao Genxian's small eyes.

"Holy Maiden, thank goodness the four of us brothers ran fast, otherwise we wouldn't have made it back, boohoo."

That night, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley fled directly towards the Qinling Mountains. They endured wind and rain, hiding here and there, fearing that the Five Mountains Sword Sect would pursue and kill them. Their journey was almost like begging, and their plight was truly miserable.

"..."

"..."

Ren Woxing, Xiang Wentian, and Lan Fenghuang, standing to the side, looked at the Four Immortals of Peach Valley with strange expressions.

They've seen idiots before, but they've never seen anyone this stupid.

Even now, Ren Woxing couldn't help but look at Ren Yingying, wondering what his daughter's motives were in taking these four people as her subordinates.

This kind of talent should be sent to the other side.

"you……"

Ren Yingying felt her head buzzing, her hand pointing at the Four Immortals of Peach Valley was trembling, she couldn't catch her breath, and the next second everything went black before she was about to fall backward.

With a flash of blue, Lan Fenghuang appeared beside Ren Yingying and supported her.

"daughter."

"Holy Maiden".

When Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian saw Ren Yingying like this, their expressions tightened.

"fine."

Ren Yingying recovered and gently pushed Lan Fenghuang away, but her face was pale.

Her internal injuries, caused by the stimulation, flared up.

She was nearly killed when Jiang Ning pierced her chest with a sword. Although Ping Yizhi saved her, she still needs to rest and cannot be stimulated, otherwise her internal injuries will easily flare up, just like now.

Seeing how angry the four brothers had made Ren Yingying, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley were also uneasy and nervously watched Ren Yingying. The next second, they saw Ren Yingying walk to the side, draw a sword, and walk towards the four of them.

"Holy Maiden!!"

Tao Genxian cried out and lunged forward, clinging tightly to Ren Yingying's sword.

“We are guilty, we deserve to die. Kill me if you want, but don’t kill my three brothers.”

"Big brother!"

Peach Blossom Fairy cried out in a mournful voice.

Peach Blossom Fairy went even further, wiping her nose and flicking it aside. Everyone saw that the snot was shiny and stuck to the pillar.

"If our eldest brother dies, we won't live either. The four of us will live together and die together."

Peach Leaf Fairy started taking out papers from her bosom and throwing them into the air again.
