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

Jiang Ning remained expressionless and spoke loudly.

"I am Jiang Ning from the Huashan Sect. Are you all disciples of the Emei Sect? Is Abbess Huiyin here?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's voice, several more figures descended from the mountain, one of whom was Huiyin.

"Benefactor Jiang?"

Huiyin was also surprised to see Jiang Ning again.

She never expected to see Jiang Ning here.

Chapter 222 Emei Sect

"Master Huiyin, how have you been lately?"

Upon seeing Huiyin, Jiang Ning cupped his hands in greeting.

"Amitabha."

Huiyin quickly came down from the mountain, returned Jiang Ning's greeting, and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your concern, benefactor. I am well."

Upon seeing that the newcomer claimed to be from the Huashan Sect and knew Huiyin, the group of women put away their swords.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Huiyin raised her question: "How did Benefactor Jiang find us?"

“I met Master Zhang from the Qingcheng Sect. He told me that the nun and the disciples of your sect were here, so I came to look for them.”

Jiang Ning explained.

"I see."

Huiyin nodded.

She remembered that she had indeed run into Zhang Quandao a couple of days ago.

Jiang Ning looked at the group of women who had appeared. They were not nuns; they were dressed in ordinary clothes and had long hair.

"Master, you..."

Just as Jiang Ning was about to speak, Huiyin knew what he was thinking and said directly, "Benefactor Jiang, our sect purged the villains within the sect and restored order last month. After learning that the Demonic Sect was going to attack your sect, our sect leader specially sent us to support the Huashan Sect."

Sure enough, these people succeeded.

Congratulations to your esteemed sect.

Jiang Ning congratulated Huiyin and the others.

"hehe."

Huiyin smiled too; she was indeed very happy that the Emei Sect was back in their hands.

“Benefactor Jiang, please. This time we are being led by Martial Aunt Qingwei, who has been waiting upstairs for quite some time.”

Huiyin gestured for Jiang Ning to enter.

"Alright, please, nun."

Jiang Ning nodded and followed Huiyin's footsteps.

The Emei Sect disciples who had surrounded him dispersed and hid again, their movements swift and orderly.

Jiang Ning only needed one glance to know that these Emei Sect disciples were not just for show, which surprised him.

He didn't know the overall strength of these orthodox Emei sects, but the fact that they could still spare so many to support the Huashan sect after suppressing the lineage of Jin Guang Shangren showed that their strength was not to be underestimated.

This is a powerful ally.

As Huiyin ascended the mountain, Jiang Ning encountered many disciples of the Emei Sect along the way. These disciples varied in age. Under the watchful eyes of these Emei Sect disciples, Jiang Ning reached the top of the mountain, where four middle-aged nuns were already waiting for him.

"This is Jiang Ning, a benefactor from the Huashan Sect, who has come here specifically to meet with us."

Huiyin first introduced Jiang Ning to the four nuns, and then introduced the four nuns to Jiang Ning.

"This is Martial Uncle Qingwei, this is Martial Uncle Qinghe, and these two are Martial Uncle Qingxu and Martial Uncle Qingxuan."

These four nuns were all quite tall, especially Qingwei, who was the tallest, standing half a head taller than the average person, and her face exuded an imposing presence.

"This junior greets the four nuns."

Jiang Ning bowed.

"Amitabha."

Abbess Qingwei raised her whisk and returned the greeting with one hand clasped together.

"This humble nun, Qingwei, greets Benefactor Jiang."

The other three nuns returned the greeting in turn.

Jiang Ning observed the four people and found that among them, Abbess Qingwei had a long and powerful breath, a bright and clear divine light, and her martial arts skills were not weak, even stronger than the Taoist priest named Songwen that Jiang Ning had met on Mount Emei last time.

The other three nuns were slightly inferior to Qingwei in terms of aura, but their martial arts skills were also quite high, making them first-class masters.

The combined strength of Abbess Qingwei and others, along with the Emei Sect leader and other Emei disciples whom Jiang Ning has yet to meet, is already comparable to, or even surpasses, the Emei Sect of the lineage of Venerable Jin Guang. Yet they have held back until now before making their move. It is hard to imagine the extent of their fear of Venerable Jin Guang's lineage, or certain forces.

While Jiang Ning was observing them, Abbess Qingwei and others were also observing Jiang Ning.

They couldn't sense Jiang Ning's specific strength, but they did notice that his breathing was rather peculiar, which is why they began to take him seriously.

The fact that they couldn't sense Jiangning's strength already says something.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "I heard from Abbess Huiyin that your sect has corrected the wrongs, which is truly a cause for celebration. I would like to extend my congratulations on behalf of my master."

Master Qingwei smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Benefactor Jiang."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Abbess Qingwei then recounted their previous actions.

After receiving Yue Buqun's reply, Huiyin immediately returned to Sichuan to report back to them. Qingwei's senior sister, Qingzhu, immediately took action. After a month of preparation, when everything was foolproof, they launched a night attack on Ejin Guangshangren. That night, the top of Mount Emei was filled with shouts of killing and screams of agony.

Master Jin Guang was killed on the spot by Qing Zhu, and only Daoist Song Wen and one or two other Daoists escaped.

After the successful night raid, Qingzhu and other orthodox Emei disciples quickly took control of the Emei Sect, while the remaining male Emei disciples were captured alive.

The direct disciples, such as Venerable Jin Guang and Daoist Song Wen, were ruthlessly killed by the Emei orthodox sect. However, the lower-ranking disciples, who were not direct disciples of Venerable Jin Guang and Daoist Song Wen, were not exterminated by the Emei orthodox sect. Instead, they were given a chance: they would not be killed if they surrendered to the Emei orthodox sect. There were not many male disciples of the original Emei sect, only about two hundred. Some of them refused to surrender and were killed. After that, more than one hundred people remained. These people chose to surrender. Only then did the Emei orthodox sect completely control the Emei sect.

They didn't have time to pursue Songwen Daoren's escape, and then they received news that the Huashan Sect was under siege. Qingzhu, who had become the head of the Emei Sect, immediately sent her junior sister Qingwei with some Emei disciples to come and provide support.

"Originally, the sect leader intended to come in person, but she was injured and needed to heal, so she sent me to lead the Emei disciples to support your sect."

"I see."

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Benefactor Jiang, I wonder how your sect is doing now?"

After explaining the history of the Emei Sect, Abbess Qingwei inquired about the Huashan Sect.

"Thank you for your concern, Master. Currently, the Hengshan, Taishan, and Hengshan sects of the Five Mountains Sword Sects have arrived at Huashan to defend it. Those people from all walks of life are still surrounding the foot of Huashan and there is nothing we can do. For the time being, we are safe."

Jiang Ning replied.

"That's good."

Master Qingwei and the others breathed a sigh of relief. They had been really worried when they learned that so many people were besieging the Huashan Sect. They had rushed all the way, but now they couldn't get to Huashan. They were worried about what the situation inside was like. Now, after hearing Jiang Ning's words, they finally felt relieved.

“Benefactor Jiang, we are new here and not familiar with the specific situation. Please give us a suggestion, and we will cooperate fully.”

Although Abbess Qingwei was older than Jiang Ning, she did not put on airs.

"Let's join Master Zhang and the others from the Qingcheng Sect, and then we'll head to Mount Hua together."

Jiang Ning had previously planned to look for other people to support the Huashan Sect, but now he has changed his mind and intends to have the people from both Emei and Qingcheng leave together.

Chapter 223 Jia Bujia

The two groups together numbered nearly six hundred, which was no small number. It would take too much time for him to call them back after he had gone to other places. Jiang Ning told them to travel together, while he himself would go ahead first, so that neither side would be delayed.

"You all go first..."

Jiang Ning was familiar with the terrain around Mount Hua, so he quickly drew a map on the ground and pointed to one of the places.

"You and Master Zhang will stop here."

Jiang Ning was referring to a remote mountain area, not far from Mount Hua, but very secluded and outside the reach of Sima Da and his group.

"You all wait here first. I will meet up with you after I have finished visiting the other places."

Jiang Ning then pointed out the route ahead.

"Ok."

The nuns looked at the route, memorized it, and then nodded.

"The situation is urgent, so I won't linger any longer."

Before leaving, Jiang Ning informed Master Qingwei and the others of the direction of Zhang Quandao and the other Taoist priests from Qingcheng Mountain, and then went down the mountain and left.

Watching Jiang Ning's retreating figure as he descended the mountain, Abbess Qinghe spoke.

"Who do you think is more powerful, him or his senior sister?"

The senior sister she mentioned is none other than Qingzhu, the current head of the Emei Sect.

"Hard to say."

Abbess Qingwei shook her head.

Qingzhu is the most skilled martial artist in the Emei Sect, and they all know how powerful she is, but they also can't see through Jiang Ning's strength.

"The younger generation is truly formidable."

The three nuns, including Master Qingwei, couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Alright, let's go."

"That's what Master Qingwei said."

Previously, they had no way to contact the current Huashan Sect and dared not act rashly without knowing the specific situation. Now that they have a direction and contact, they must take action.

After hastily bidding farewell to the Emei Sect, Jiang Ning set off for other places.
