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

The leading Taoist priest first said something, and then began chanting scriptures to help the corpses pass on to the afterlife.

After the entire funeral process—murder, burial, and chanting sutras—was completed, the Taoist priests left.

……

"Abbot, has there been any news from the Emei Sect yet?"

Zuo Lengchan looked at Fang Zheng and said.

At this moment, besides Daoist Chongxu, there were two more people around them: a man dressed as a beggar and a handsome man in a blue robe who looked like a gentleman.

These two are Xie Feng, the current leader of the Beggars' Sect, and Zhen Shanzi, the head of the Kunlun Sect.

At this moment, the two people were standing on either side of Fang Zheng.

While Zuo Lengchan and Fang Zheng were waiting, the Kunlun and Beggars' Sect finally arrived.

"No."

Fang Zheng shook his head.

"Why haven't they arrived yet after all this time?"

Chongxu frowned and asked.

The Kunlun Sect has come all the way from Kunlun, but the Emei Sect, which is in Sichuan, hasn't arrived yet and hasn't even sent a message.

"Is the Emei Sect not planning to come?"

Zuo Lengchan said.

"impossible."

Fang Zheng shook his head.

"The heretical sects are besieging our righteous sects. Although the Emei Sect does not concern itself with worldly affairs, it should not stand idly by in the face of the current situation."

More importantly, this time it was Fangzheng who wrote the letter asking Jin Guang Shangren and the others to come, and Fangzheng felt that the Emei Sect would definitely come.

The Kunlun Sect leader, Zhenshanzi, said from the side, "Perhaps Master Jinguang was delayed by something."

Fang Zheng nodded in agreement: "It should be."

"In that case, let's set off first."

Zuo Lengchan said from the side.

At first, like Fang Zheng, he wasn't in a hurry to support Huashan, but as time went by, Zuo Lengchan became restless.

Logically speaking, since the Songshan Sect is closest to Mount Hua, they should be the first to arrive, but they haven't shown up yet. Zuo Lengchan felt that if they delayed any longer, it would be unacceptable.

If Ren Yingying's men really manage to breach Mount Hua and cause heavy casualties, then the reputation of the Songshan Sect in the martial arts world will suffer.

"This……"

Fang Zheng hesitated, worried that something might have gone wrong in Emei.

Chapter 233 Impossible

Zuo Lengchan thought that Fang Zheng was worried that his side was not strong enough.

"Abbot, in my opinion, our current strength is sufficient."

Originally, the Songshan Sect had over four hundred members, not counting the forces they brought in secretly. Including the Shaolin, Wudang, and Taishan Sects, there were nearly a thousand members. Now, the Beggars' Sect and Kunlun Sect have also joined the fray.

The Kunlun Sect sent about 300 people this time, while the Beggars' Sect sent more than 700. Now, the total number is 2,000. Adding the several hundred people from Mount Hua, Zuo Lengchan felt that the number was sufficient and there was no need to wait for Mount Emei.

"..."

Fang Zheng remained silent, his brows slightly furrowed.

Unlike Zuo Lengchan, he was never worried about the siege of Mount Hua. If Mount Hua were to be besieged by those people, it would be a way of weakening the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and it would not be a loss to Shaolin.

He is now more worried that something might have gone wrong in Emei.

"Why don't we set off first? Master Jin Guang must have already set off. We can meet up with them at Mount Hua."

At this moment, Chongxu said something.

Fang Zheng glanced at him.

"Ok."

Fang Zheng finally relented.

Upon hearing Fang Zheng speak, Jie Feng and Zhen Shanzi went down to instruct their disciples to prepare for departure.

Zuo Lengchan, who was standing to the side, showed no change on his face when he saw this scene, but his heart grew colder.

Both of them were leaders of their own factions or gangs, but the fact that the other party testified to obey orders put even more pressure on Zuo Lengchan.

Zuo Lengchan's heart was in turmoil, but his expression remained unchanged. He instructed Lu Bai to go down and tell the people from the Songshan and Taishan sects to prepare for departure.

Fangzheng and Chongxu also went down.

"Is the abbot worried about the Emei Sect?"

When they were alone, Chongxu finally spoke.

"good."

Fang Zheng nodded and said, "Logically speaking, Venerable Jin Guang should have arrived long ago after receiving my letter, but not only has he not come, he hasn't even replied to my letter. I'm worried that something might have happened."

"The abbot is overthinking it."

Upon hearing this, Chongxu smiled faintly and said, "In my opinion, Master Jinguang probably had some urgent business to attend to, which is why he was delayed for a while. He should be on his way by now."

Although the Emei Sect doesn't roam the martial arts world much and keeps a low profile, he and Fang Zheng know its strength best.

How could such a large sect suddenly encounter trouble?

"The Taoist priest is right."

Hearing his political ally and old friend say this, Fang Zheng felt relieved, nodded, and then sighed.

In this martial world, there are always some restless people. Just when the Sun Moon Sect finally calmed down, the righteous path produced another troublemaker like Zuo Lengchan.

……

Master Qingwei and the other Emei disciples returned to the deep mountain they had been in before.

"Master."

An Emei disciple stepped forward and bowed to Abbess Qingwei.

"Hmm, has anything been discovered here in the past few days?"

Master Qingwei nodded and asked.

Before they left to set up a trap, they left dozens of disciples here to guard the place just in case.

"Reporting to Master, no."

The female disciple shook her head.

The past few days have been relatively quiet.

"Then let's get started."

Abbess Qingwei nodded and then began to make arrangements. They planned to set up a trap here, which was also Jiang Ning's plan. He had sent Emei here before because he intended to use this place as a battlefield.

After these past few days, the Emei disciples have become quite familiar with this terrain, and upon hearing Master Qingwei's words, they immediately set to work.

Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun were no longer there at this time.

Jiang Ning went to the enemy camp to find Master Mo, while Yue Buqun went to the back of the North Peak to inform Tianmen Daoist and others of the news and plans from below.

……

When Jiang Ning arrived at the enemy camp, the people there hadn't yet realized that the troops they had sent out to buy grain were never to return.

This was Jiang Ning's fourth visit. He arrived at Master Mo's tent with practiced ease. Master Mo was still drinking and chatting with a few people. Jiang Ning only appeared after they left.

"Is it all resolved?"

Mr. Mo was not surprised to see Jiang Ning suddenly appear; he was used to it.

"Yes, they've all been eliminated; not a single one survived."

Jiangning Road.

Mr. Mo nodded, without the slightest surprise. The people he sent out were not experts, but just small fry, so it was only natural to eliminate them all.

"You should make preparations over there. In a couple of days, I'll find an excuse to bring out all those bows and arrows, and then you can take them away without anyone noticing."

Mr. Mo has already begun arranging the next steps.

"Uncle Mo, let's not rush this matter. The plan may have to be changed."

Jiang Ning shook his head and then explained his plan.

"A sleeping potion?"

Mr. Mo was taken aback for a moment, looking at Jiang Ning with a strange expression.

You're quite good at assigning tasks, always choosing the most challenging ones.

Even if he wanted to arrange it, it would be difficult.

Jiang Ning nodded: "That's right. If this plan goes smoothly, we won't need to go through so much trouble. We can solve this once and for all."

Mr. Mo pondered.

"This is a bit difficult, but we can give it a try."

To be honest, although he was doing very well in the enemy camp, Mr. Mo was still a little uneasy. The feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife was too exciting, and his elderly heart couldn't take it.

This kind of undercover operation to infiltrate the enemy's leader is too surreal; he never imagined it would happen.

The Four Immortals of Peach Valley also came when the battle for command broke out. He flattered the four of them and said that he spoke even better than Sima Da. Peach Root Immortal directly put him in charge of these people. Even now, Master Mo thinks it is outrageous.

If his identity is exposed, he will never be able to leave at his age. Now that he has a chance to get rid of these people once and for all, he wants to deal with them as soon as possible.

"There isn't much wine left in the camp, but it's enough for one meal. I'll ask the Four Immortals of Peach Valley to do a good job in their name to reward the whole camp."
