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

He understood what Zheng E meant. Everyone except Yi Lin, her fellow disciples, could see clearly that she was deeply in love with Linghu Chong.

Zheng E and the other Hengshan disciples had a very good relationship with their junior sister Yilin, and naturally did not want her to get caught up in an impossible relationship, especially since Yilin was a nun.

They just didn't know how to bring it up, and Jiang Ning's words helped them out.

Zheng E led Jiang Ning to a house.

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning, why don't you rest here for the night? I won't bother you any longer, as I have to keep watch later."

The Hengshan disciples take turns on night watch so that they can react in time if an enemy attacks.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Okay, thank you, senior sister."

After Zheng E left, Jiang Ning pushed open the door and entered the room. He put his sword on the table and then began to rest.

One night passed.

Before dawn, Jiang Ning woke up and went out of his room to find that most of the Hengshan disciples had already gathered outside.

"Junior Brother Jiang Ning, how did you sleep last night?"

At this moment, Yi Qing walked over and smiled at Jiang Ning.

"Fortunately."

Jiang Ning smiled and replied, "Are you two senior uncles ready to depart?"

"Ah."

Yi Qing nodded and said, "Soon, just a little while longer."

They originally wanted to wake Jiang Ning up earlier, but Abbess Dingyi said that Jiang Ning hadn't rested much on the way and that he should sleep a little longer.

Jiang Ning nodded and then went to Master Dingyi's room, where Master Dingjing was also there.

"My two senior masters."

Master Dingyi looked at him: "You're awake? Then let's set off."

It's getting late, let's set off early and get to Huashan to help out.

"Yiqing, go and tell Yizhenyi and the others that we can set off now."

"Yes, Master."

Yi Qing, who was outside the door, responded and then left.

"Let's go."

Master Dingyi and Master Dingjing got up and walked outside, with Jiang Ning following behind.

Before long, all the Hengshan disciples had assembled.

Yilin was among them.

Perhaps because she didn't get enough rest last night, Yilin didn't seem to be in good spirits, and her eyes were slightly red.

"set off!"

Master Dingyi waved his hand and led the Hengshan disciples on a grand journey toward Mount Hua.

This time, the Hengshan Sect mobilized nearly two hundred Hengshan disciples, sending out almost two-thirds of its strength to support the Huashan Sect.

If we don't count the ordinary nuns, the Hengshan Sect has more than 300 disciples. These are all true disciples of the Hengshan Sect, and they all know martial arts. It can be said that the Hengshan Sect has almost emptied its coffers.

"You did a good job, kid."

Along the way, Abbess Dingyi and Jiang Ning walked side by side, with Jiang Ning lagging slightly behind.

Upon hearing Master Dingyi's words, Jiang Ning was slightly puzzled, wondering what she meant.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Abbess Dingyi said again: "Yilin is young and usually spends most of her time chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist scriptures on Mount Heng. She is not worldly and is simple-minded. She doesn't understand many things, and she doesn't understand many of the things I say to her. Her senior sisters don't know how to guide her. If this continues, she will probably get deeper and deeper into trouble."

"What you said is good; it puts an end to her hopes."

Master Dingyi also had a lot of headaches about her disciple Yilin.

Upon hearing Master Dingyi's words, Jiang Ning smiled but did not respond. Instead, he asked, "When my senior brother came to Mount Hua this February, it was for Senior Sister Yilin. However, Senior Sister Yilin has not visited Mount Hua since. I wonder where my senior brother met Senior Sister Yilin after that?"

Master Dingyi remained silent upon hearing this, her face darkening with displeasure, though this displeasure was not directed at Jiang Ning.

After a while.

"Yilin returned to Hengshan on her own later."

Not long after returning to Hengshan, Yilin came back on her own. Under the questioning of Abbess Dingyi, she learned that her father insisted on bringing her to Huashan. Yilin could not refuse, but on the way, she became more and more frightened. She turned back halfway before reaching Huashan. Her father took her out to relax and did not return for some time.

Master Dingyi was also very angry with Yilin's biological father.

Yilin's father was a scoundrel with a "dead pig doesn't fear boiling water" attitude. He tricked a disciple of the previous generation of Hengshan into having Yilin. Later, the two disappeared without a trace, leaving Yilin to be raised by the Hengshan Sect. They hadn't appeared for many years, but when they did, they urged Yilin to go down the mountain to find Linghu Chong. Master Dingyi wished she could stab this old fox to death with her sword.

Master Dingyi did not explain these things to Jiang Ning in detail, and Jiang Ning did not ask too many questions. He only asked one out of curiosity.

"Master Uncle, the Songshan Sect..."

Just as Jiang Ning was about to ask if the Songshan Sect had taken any action against the Hengshan Sect during this period, the Hengshan disciples behind him suddenly became noisy.

Yi Qing ran forward.

"Master, someone is chasing us."

Ding Jing and Ding Yi's expressions turned cold. Jiang Ning glanced back and saw a group of people rushing towards them from a distance.

"Hmph, some small fry couldn't resist jumping out. I thought they were going to keep holding back."

Master Dingyi gave a cold laugh.

These people quickly approached the Hengshan Sect and confronted the Hengshan Sect disciples not far away. In a short time, they gathered a hundred people, and more and more people were still arriving.

A middle-aged man stepped forward from the group and spoke loudly.

"Is Master Dingyi of your sect here? Wang Shu'an, the vice leader of the Tianhe Gang, requests an audience with Master Dingyi."

Chapter 184: Say anything else you have to say before you die.

What do you want to do?

Yi Qing parted the Hengshan Sect disciples and came before him, speaking coldly to the man.

Wang Shu'an smiled and said, "I presume that Abbess Dingyi already knows that the reason why so many heroes and valiant figures in the martial arts world have gathered in Shaanxi is because of the Huashan Sect. Several months ago, there were rumors in the martial arts world that a disciple of the Huashan Sect was chasing and killing the Holy Maiden of the Divine Sect. We came here specifically to ask Headmaster Yue if this was true. This matter is between us and the Huashan Sect. I hope that your sect and Abbess Dingyi will not get involved in this matter and will return to Hengshan. Let's keep to ourselves and not interfere with each other."

"Humph."

Yi Qing gave a cold laugh.

"Whether it's true or false, what does it matter? This matter is a feud between the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Demonic Sect. Are you all gathered in Shaanxi to avenge that demoness?"

"What did you say!"

"You call the Holy Maiden a demoness?"

Immediately, someone in the crowd started shouting and cursing.

Wang Shu'an calmed the crowd down and continued, "Young master, we have no intention of making enemies with the Hengshan Sect. Please ask Master Dingyi to intervene and let her decide this matter. If your sect still insists on helping the Huashan Sect, then the heroes and warriors present may have to attack you."

"Humph."

Upon hearing this, Dingyi sneered and said something to Jiang Ning.

"Go and talk to them."

I?

Jiang Ning was slightly surprised, but he nodded and walked to the front surrounded by several Hengshan disciples.

"Ok?"

The group opposite them was originally confronting the Hengshan Sect disciples, waiting for Master Dingyi to appear, but unexpectedly a man appeared.

Wang Shu'an frowned as he looked at Jiang Ning, then cupped his hands and asked.

"May I ask your honorable name?"

Jiang Ning smiled.

"Just say what you have to say."

Wang Shu'an frowned, about to speak, when the others spoke up.

"Who are you? Where's Dingyi? She won't show up herself to let you out, so who are you to her? A gigolo?"

A burly man with a full beard spoke up, causing the others to burst into laughter.

"Yes, Master Dingyi herself didn't show up, but sent out some pretty boy. What, is the Hengshan Sect now run by men?"

Shut your dog mouths!

Yi Qing's face showed anger as she directly rebuked these people.

"This is Jiang Ning, a junior brother from the Huashan Sect!"

Upon hearing Yi Qing's words, the crowd opposite him, who had been laughing loudly, suddenly stopped, as if their throats had been choked, and looked at Jiang Ning with surprise and uncertainty.

Jiang Ning's face remained expressionless as he glanced at the group of people, his hand already resting on the hilt of his sword.

The people opposite looked at each other without saying a word; hundreds of them couldn't utter a single sentence.

Their reaction caught the Hengshan Sect disciples off guard.

Jiang Ning looked at these people. Most of them were second-rate characters, and there were a few with decent martial arts skills, but that was all.

"Are you Jiang Ning, the so-called King Yama of Ning?"

Finally, Wang Shu'an spoke up, bowing to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning looked at him, a slight smile playing on her cold lips.

"Say anything you'd like to say before you die."

As he spoke, Jiang Ning gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

Clang~

The longsword was slowly drawn from its sheath.
