Judging from the current situation, Ren Woxing has already set his sights on the Golden Saber Sect. Wang Yuanba is also Lin Pingzhi's maternal grandfather. If the other party cannot withstand the pressure and joins Ren Woxing, then they will become enemies with Mount Hua.
However, if Wang Yuanba refuses to surrender and is massacred by Ren Woxing, either outcome would be too cruel for Lin Pingzhi, and Lin Pingzhi would not be able to accept it. For both reason and emotion, Jiang Ning should stay. Moreover, even if Wang Yuanba's family has no relation to Lin Pingzhi, Jiang Ning cannot sit idly by after hearing this news.
"But Ren Woxing's influence in Luoyang is too great. How can you save the Golden Saber Sect?"
Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but express his concern.
Jiang Ning didn't answer, but asked first, "Did Ren Woxing say when he would make his move if the Golden Saber Sect refused?"
Liu Zhengfeng said, "Let's do it immediately."
Liu Zhengfeng shook his head: "Ren Woxing won't give him much time. If Wang Yuanba doesn't make a decision today, Ren Woxing will send me to the Golden Saber Sect again tomorrow to force him to make a decision. If Wang Yuanba is still hesitant or refuses tomorrow, he will be massacred."
Jiang Ning frowned.
Seeing his expression, Liu Zhengfeng became a little nervous and couldn't help but ask, "Well? Have you made up your mind?"
Upon hearing Liu Zhengfeng's words, Jiang Ning said, "At this point, the only option is to ask for help."
Liu Zhengfeng asked, "Whom should we ask for help?"
Shaolin.
Jiang Ning said directly.
Luoyang is more than 500 li away from Mount Hua, and there is definitely no time to rush to Mount Hua for help. However, it is only a little over 100 li away from Mount Song, and the only way to get help is to ask Shaolin Temple.
After listening to Jiang Ning's words, Liu Zhengfeng pondered for a moment, his eyes lighting up as he thought it was feasible.
"Shaolin Temple is not far from Luoyang. If Master Fangzheng knew about what happened here, he would probably come to the rescue of the Golden Saber Sect."
Jiang Ning smiled. "He has to come and save us."
Despite already knowing about Shaolin's situation, Jiang Ning had no doubt that Shaolin would offer assistance.
No matter what, Shaolin is now the leader of the righteous path, and they always shout slogans of opposing the demonic sect. Now the demonic sect is going to harm other forces, and right here in Luoyang. If Shaolin doesn't know, fine, but if they do know and do nothing...
"There's no time to lose. You should hurry to Shaolin Temple for help right now. I reckon Ren Woxing won't be able to wait much longer; he'll be heading to the Golden Saber Sect to force Wang Yuanba out tomorrow morning."
Liu Zhengfeng checked the time and felt it was time for him to leave, so he urged Jiang Ning to hurry up.
"it is good."
Jiang Ning nodded, and watching Liu Zhengfeng turn and leave, he suddenly called out.
"Uncle Liu."
Liu Zhengfeng turned around and glanced at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning looked at him and said, "Be careful in everything."
Liu Zhengfeng smiled, nodded, and then left.
Leaving the alley, Liu Zhengfeng once again weaved through the crowded throng and returned to his previous spot, where he saw the people who had been with him looking around anxiously.
Liu Zhengfeng didn't call out to them, pretending they weren't there, and stopped in front of one of the stalls to look at the musical instruments on display.
Where exactly did Liu Zhengfeng go?
One of them looked somewhat anxious.
The other person had also searched for a long time but couldn't find Liu Zhengfeng, and couldn't help but say, "Could he have run away?"
But this person's words were quickly refuted.
“Where can he run to? He’s already taken the Three Corpse Brain God Pill given to him by the cult leader. He’ll never be able to escape the cult leader’s control for the rest of his life.”
"Hurry up and find him, stop arguing. The Holy Maiden has instructed a few of us to secretly monitor him and prevent him from having any time alone, so as to avoid him becoming an undercover agent for the righteous path and passing messages to them."
One person spoke up, then looked around again, and a moment later a voice rang out from the side.
"Found him! He's there!"
One of them shouted, and the others looked in the direction of the sound. They saw Liu Zhengfeng looking at musical instruments at a stall not far away and breathed a sigh of relief. They quickly walked over.
"Elder Liu, shouldn't we be going? Don't keep the sect leader waiting."
One of them said to Liu Zhengfeng.
"How much is it?"
Liu Zhengfeng asked the stall owner.
After asking the price and paying, Liu Zhengfeng finally glanced at them.
"Let's go."
The group exchanged glances, and the rest followed behind Liu Zhengfeng, leaving one person behind to watch over the stall owner.
"what happened?"
The stall owner looked completely bewildered, but after the man sized him up, he turned and left.
"There's something wrong."
The stall owner muttered something to himself and continued doing business.
The man quickly caught up and came behind the others. When one of them turned around to look at him, the man shook his head slightly and whispered.
"Just an ordinary person, nothing special."
Only after receiving the answer did the others feel relieved.
Liu Zhengfeng, who was walking in front, did not notice the subtle movements behind him, but he guessed what was going on and a cold smile appeared on his face.
……
After parting ways with Liu Zhengfeng, Jiang Ning returned to the inn, where Linghu Chong had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Junior brother, why have you been gone for so long? Is there anything fun to do?"
Linghu Chong asked curiously.
"There's nothing fun, but something happened quite suddenly."
Jiang Ning said.
Linghu Chong asked, "What is it?"
Jiang Ning then told him about Liu Zhengfeng recruiting members of the Golden Saber Sect.
"What? Uncle Liu went to recruit members of the Golden Saber Sect for Ren Woxing? Isn't the Golden Saber Sect the maternal grandfather's family of Junior Brother Lin?"
Linghu Chong received a large amount of information in a short period of time, and each and every one of them astonished him.
Of course, what shocked him the most was that Liu Zhengfeng had actually joined the Demonic Sect and was even working for it.
Jiang Ning did not reveal that Liu Zhengfeng was an undercover agent, only saying that he had accidentally met Liu Zhengfeng on the street and followed him to the Golden Saber Sect, where he overheard their conversation.
"Senior Brother, the most urgent thing now is to ask Shaolin for help."
"Oh, right."
Linghu Chong suddenly came to his senses and said directly, "Then I'll go now."
Jiang Ning nodded; he had originally planned to send Linghu Chong anyway.
Linghu Chong was in a hurry to leave, but before leaving the room, he glanced back at Jiang Ning.
"Junior brother, do you want to come with me?"
Jiang Ning shook his head: "I'll wait for you in Luoyang."
One person is enough to ask for help. Jiang Ning will stay behind. He's going to the Golden Saber Sect later to see what Wang Yuanba's decision is.
If the other party has already decided to reject Ren Woxing's offer, then Jiang Ning will remain with the Golden Saber Sect.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's plan, Linghu Chong nodded and said, "Then, junior brother, be careful. I'll be right back."
With a major event imminent, Linghu Chong dared not delay and rode his horse at full speed as soon as he left the city.
Jiang Ning also left the inn after Linghu Chong left, heading towards the Golden Saber Sect.
He needed to probe Wang Yuanba's attitude; it would be ridiculous if he was thinking about how to save the Golden Saber Sect while Wang Yuanba was already considering surrendering.
Chapter 559: Golden Saber Sect
It is now close to midnight, and there are not many people walking on the streets anymore, only the night watchmen patrolling the streets.
It's past midnight.
The night watchman banged on the gong and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"The sky is dry and everything is dry, be careful about the fire."
Hearing the sounds coming from the next street, Jiang Ning didn't stop moving and headed towards the Golden Saber Sect. He arrived there in no time.
The Golden Saber Sect was brightly lit at night, with its gates wide open and people coming and going. These people were all dressed the same and were members of the Golden Saber Sect. They were patrolling the area with weapons in their hands and looked very tense. The Golden Saber Sect was on high alert.
Jiang Ning saw this scene but said nothing and did not show himself. Instead, he prepared to find a place to climb over the wall. Just as Jiang Ning was about to leave, he suddenly saw two young men walk out of the Golden Saber Sect and say something to the patrolling men.
Jiang Ning recognized one of them as Wang Jiaju, Lin Pingzhi's cousin, who was also the person Jiang Ning had saved when he was being chased in Pingyu Town.
"Keep your spirits up, don't let your guard down."
Wang Jiaju told everyone with a serious expression, his eyes filled with worry.
"Don't worry too much. If anything really happens, Grandpa will protect us."
The man next to him patted Wang Jiaju on the shoulder to comfort him; he was Wang Jiaju's older brother, Wang Jiajun.
Despite his brother's words of comfort, Wang Jiaju remained unperturbed.
“Brother, the Demonic Sect is now pressuring our Golden Saber Sect. If Grandfather refuses their offer of recruitment, I’m afraid our Golden Saber Sect will suffer a bloody disaster. How can I not be worried?”
Hearing his younger brother's words, Wang Jiajun was speechless. Although he was the older brother, he was also very scared at the moment.
Wang Jiajun suddenly pounded on the door.
"How rampant is this demonic cult!"
Even now, Wang Jiajun still feels furious when he recalls what the people from the Demonic Sect said during the day.
During the day, Liu Zhengfeng and his group were extremely arrogant, stating that if the Golden Saber Sect did not submit to Ren Woxing, they would all be wiped out, displaying an attitude of "those who obey me prosper, those who oppose me perish."
Wang Jiajun and the rest of the Wang family were shocked, angry, and afraid upon hearing this.
Wang Jiajun's expression darkened: "I don't know if the Shaolin Temple will come to our rescue."
Not long after Liu Zhengfeng left the Golden Saber Sect, Wang Yuanba sent someone to Shaolin Temple to ask for help. Although there has been no news yet, the entire Golden Saber Sect has regarded Shaolin Temple as their lifeline.
Wang Jiaju suddenly thought of something and said, "If only he were here, he would definitely save us."
Wang Jiajun asked in confusion, "Who?"
"Ning Yama!"
Wang Jiaju affirmed, "If King Ning were here now, he would definitely save us."
Listening to his younger brother's words, Wang Jiajun felt it was unrealistic: "Ning Yanwang is still in Huashan. Huashan is hundreds of miles away from Luoyang. What are the chances that he is in Luoyang? Besides, even if he is there, how can he save us by himself? If the entire Huashan Sect were in Luoyang, they could save us."
Wang Jiajun was somewhat pessimistic.
"I'm afraid even if King Ning Yan knew now, he might not take action, after all, Liu Zhengfeng said that there are quite a few members of the Demonic Sect in Luoyang now."
In contrast to Wang Jiajun's pessimism, Wang Jiaju was very certain: "No, if he were here, he would definitely take action, he definitely would!"
Others may not know, but Wang Jiaju still remembers that two years ago, when Jiang Ning was being chased, he was still willing to fall into the ambush again to save him, which made him certain that Jiang Ning would definitely take action.
Wang Jiajun was speechless.
"But even if he were to intervene, what could he do? He's not in Luoyang right now..."
Before Wang Jiajun could finish speaking, he saw Wang Jiaju looking behind him in shock. Wang Jiajun thought that someone from the Demonic Sect had come, and he instinctively looked behind him in surprise, only to find that it was not the Demonic Sect attacking, but a young man walking in their direction.
"who!"
When the members of the Golden Saber Sect saw the newcomer approaching, they all shouted loudly, but Wang Jiaju managed to drive them away.
"Get out!"
After dismissing the crowd, Wang Jiaju looked at the newcomer with a delighted expression.
"you you……"
