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

Page 290

The four immortals of Peach Valley covered their mouths in unison, staring at Ren Woxing and Ren Yingying with wide, innocent eyes.

If these four people were a little girl, their actions would naturally appear adorable, but the four immortals of Peach Valley are old and ugly, and their expressions are so unsettling that it makes one's heart ache.

Ren Woxing was already in a bad mood, and seeing these four ugly people made him even more upset.

"Walk."

Ren Woxing shouted, and the group continued down the mountain.

The Four Immortals of Peach Valley covered their mouths and remained silent, following behind the main group.

"The leader."

Ren Woxing and his group finally descended the mountain and met the followers who were stationed at the foot of Mount Song.

At this moment, a member of the church walked over; judging from his attire, he was an elder.

"Pass the word, set off."

Ren Woxing waved his hand, clearly in a bad mood.

His purpose in coming to Mount Song was to announce to the world that he had returned to the martial world. He originally intended to use this grand gathering of the Five Mountains Sword Sects to demonstrate his prestige.

When Ren Woxing was released from the West Lake prison, his plan was to hide his whereabouts and not let Dongfang Bubai know that he had escaped, so that he could secretly accumulate power.

However, not long ago, Xiang Wentian personally negotiated with Shangguan Yun and Jia Bu, and only after winning them over did he realize that the internal conflicts within the Sun Moon Sect were more serious than he had imagined.

Many people are already very dissatisfied with Yang Lianting, and Dongfang Bubai has not appeared for a long time, to the point that many high-ranking members of the Sun Moon Sect now suspect that Dongfang Bubai has been secretly murdered by Yang Lianting.

There are currently undercurrents within the Sun Moon Cult.

After learning of this situation, Ren Woxing changed his plans and stopped hiding himself, instead aggressively gathering followers of the Sun Moon Sect who were dissatisfied with Yang Lianting.

Now, nearly half of the members of the Sun Moon Cult have joined him, and with the Jianghu forces under Ren Yingying's control, his power is now formidable.

However, Ren Woxing was not satisfied with this. He wanted to leave Dongfang Bubai without anyone to use, which is why he went up Mount Song today. He planned to spread his influence and make those Sun Moon Cult members who had not yet submitted to him realize the current situation.

But reality is always different from imagination.

Ren Woxing never expected that he couldn't even beat Yue Buqun without Fang Zheng's help.

Although he believed it was because he didn't have a chance to use the Star Absorbing Technique and his old injuries flared up, a loss is a loss, and any further explanation would just be an excuse.

They originally planned to make a grand entrance, but ended up slinking down the mountain in disgrace.

Ren Woxing was in a terrible mood and didn't want to say another word.

But the next second he noticed that the elder had a hesitant expression on his face.

"what's up?"

Ren Woxing frowned.

The elder looked at the Four Immortals of Peach Valley before saying, "Master, those bald monks from Shaolin Temple are not far away. An old monk wants to talk to you and hopes we will not start a massacre."

Shaolin Temple had already seen the Sun Moon Sect's grand procession to Mount Song.

Upon seeing so many members of the Sun Moon Cult heading to Mount Song, Shaolin Temple panicked. Fang Zheng was on Sheng Guan Peak, so Shaolin Temple immediately mobilized the entire temple to confront the Sun Moon Cult members who were staying at the foot of Mount Song. A monk of the Fang generation wanted to negotiate with the higher-ups of the Sun Moon Cult, but Ren Woxing had already gone up Sheng Guan Peak, and the Sun Moon Cult members at the foot of Mount Song could not make a decision. So the two sides continued to confront each other, and planned to send someone up Sheng Guan Peak to inform Ren Woxing.

Originally, it was this elder who went up to Sheng Guan Peak to report, but he was intercepted by the Four Immortals of Peach Valley. The four of them arrived at the foot of Sheng Guan Peak laughing and joking all the way, only to realize that Jiang Ning was also on Sheng Guan Peak. So the four of them dared not go up.

Although Jiang Ning killed their two brothers, they hated him, but they were even more terrified.

The look in Jiang Ning's eyes at the end terrified them to the core; they were afraid of encountering this madman, Jiang Ning, again.

So after discussing it, the four of them decided to wait for Ren Woxing to come down from Shengguan Peak. But when Ren Woxing came down, he thought they were too noisy and told them to shut up. So the four of them have been holding back until now.

"When did this happen?"

Ren Woxing asked.

The elder quickly replied, "It has been an hour."

"Why didn't you send someone to inform us?"

Although it wasn't a big deal, Ren Woxing was still displeased that the elder hadn't reported it immediately.

The elder looked at the Four Immortals of Peach Valley before saying, "I originally wanted to go up to the top myself, but the Four Immortals of Peach Valley said they would go up to inform the sect leader and asked me to wait here."

Ren Woxing's head spun the moment he heard the words "Four Immortals of Peach Valley," and he was even angrier upon hearing this. He turned to look at the four of them.

The Four Immortals of Peach Valley were still covering their mouths, blinking their small eyes at him with an innocent expression.

Is what Elder Xu said true?

Ren Woxing asked with a gloomy face.

The Four Immortals of Peach Valley continued to blink as they looked at Ren Woxing.

Ren Woxing was even angrier upon seeing this.

"say!"

Upon hearing the word "speak," the Four Immortals of Peach Valley immediately lowered their hands from their mouths and gasped for breath.

"I'm so suffocating."

Peach Leaf Fairy said, panting.

"I'm asking you if what Elder Xu said is true?"

Seeing the four of them laughing and joking, Ren Woxing's anger rose rapidly.

Upon seeing Ren Woxing's anger, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley flinched.

Tao Genxian said weakly, "It's true, Master."

Suppressing his anger, Ren Woxing asked, "Why didn't the four of you say anything when we descended Shengguan Peak?"

Peach Leaf Fairy blinked her eyes, looking completely innocent.

“We wanted to say something, but the cult leader told us to shut up, so we did.”

Ren Woxing was taken aback upon hearing this.

Does that mean you blame him?

"you……"

Ren Woxing glared angrily at the Four Immortals of Peach Valley, only to feel the pain in his chest, which he had been suppressing, begin to throb again.

Chapter 387: What's terrifying is that he's beginning to have the power to do so.

Ren Woxing was so angry that he wanted to kill the Four Immortals of Peach Valley.

"roll roll roll!"

Ren Woxing waved his hand, signaling the four to quickly leave his sight.

"Get out of my sight now."

Although Ren Woxing was furious with the Four Immortals of Peach Valley, he would actually feel a little regretful if he were to kill them.

Although the Four Immortals of Peach Valley have intellectual disabilities, their martial arts skills are indeed excellent. Each of them is a first-class master on their own, especially since the four of them have a combined attack technique. Ordinary first-class masters are no match for them, and even masters from major sects like Cheng Buyou and Ning Zhongze would find it difficult to resist them.

Ren Woxing valued this strength highly.

So even though he was furious with these four people, Ren Woxing still didn't kill them.

When the Four Immortals of Peach Valley saw that Ren Woxing was angry, they quickly tried to slip away, but Ren Woxing called them back.

"stop."

The Four Immortals of Peach Valley stopped in their tracks, looking at Ren Woxing with unease.

Ren Woxing said with a stern face.

"From now on, none of the four of you are allowed to take on any affairs within the church."

The Four Immortals of Peach Valley nodded like chicks pecking at rice.

"roll."

Ren Woxing waved.

The Four Immortals of Peach Valley quickly slipped away.

Ren Woxing was still feeling some chest tightness and shortness of breath.

He didn't know where Ren Yingying had found these four talented people.

Seeing Ren Woxing's expression, Xiang Wentian pouted, looking like he was trying not to laugh.

Although he was in great pain from having his arm severed by Jiang Ning, and he was in a terrible mood, the Four Immortals of Peach Valley were indeed quite funny.

After calming himself down a bit, Ren Woxing spoke again.

"You've encountered that kid from the Huashan Sect named Jiang Ning before and fought him. Was his martial arts as powerful as it is today before?"

Ren Yingying raised her head and looked at Ren Woxing.

This was said to her.

After thinking for a moment, Ren Yingying said, "No, his martial arts have improved even more."

Although Ren Yingying hated Jiang Ning to the point of dreaming of killing him, she had to admit that Jiang Ning was indeed becoming more and more powerful.

Although Jiang Ning chased her for 300 miles last year, he still couldn't kill her. But if she were to fight Jiang Ning now, let alone be chased for another 300 miles, she probably wouldn't last more than a few rounds against him before she would die.

The gap between her and Jiang Ning is widening. A few years ago, Jiang Ning was someone she could easily crush, but now if the two were to meet again, she probably wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Upon hearing Ren Yingying's words, Ren Woxing's eyes flickered slightly.

“You investigated this kid before, and you’ve also been in contact with him. Tell me about his situation in detail.”

Ren Yingying knew that Ren Woxing had begun to pay attention to Jiangning, so she started to tell the story of Jiangning from the beginning.

If there is anyone in this world who understands Jiang Ning best, besides Yue Buqun, it is only her.

Ren Yingying explained very carefully, and Ren Woxing listened very patiently.

"If it weren't for the Six Immortals of Peach Valley risking their lives to protect me, I would have died at his hands."

Ren Yingying quickly brought up the incident of Jiang Ning chasing her down last year.

Two of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley died protecting her, a price that was no small feat.

Ren Woxing listened quietly without interrupting.

"I heard some time ago that he went down the mountain and I don't know where he went. Later he appeared in Mount Tai. Then he went all the way to Kaifeng along the Yellow River and killed Huang Boliu."

Ren Yingying spoke expressionlessly.

She only found out about these things later.

"..."

Ren Woxing frowned slightly at this moment.

"According to you, four years ago he was just a second-rate Huashan disciple, how did he grow to his current level in just four years?"

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Ren Yingying nodded.

The speed at which the other party is growing is indeed unimaginable.

It's not difficult to improve martial arts skills in a short time, since there are many ways to quickly enhance them. However, there are no shortcuts to developing real internal strength; one must practice step by step.

However, it is truly unbelievable that Jiang Ning could develop such profound internal strength from a second-rate disciple in just four years.

"This kid is exceptionally talented, unlike ordinary people."

Ren Woxing said.

Ren Yingying remained silent.

She knew all along, and paid a bloody price for it.

"According to your investigation, he is only nineteen years old, a year away from the age of twenty. To have such profound inner strength at such a young age will surely become a major threat to our cult in the future."

Ren Woxing gave it a very high rating.

Ren Yingying was somewhat surprised.

Is it that exaggerated?
