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

Even Zuo Lengchan couldn't help but show a look of bewilderment when he heard the news.

Zuo Lengchan, Zhenshanzi, and Xie Feng were all big shots in the martial arts world, leaders of their respective forces. What hadn't they seen? But this was something they had never seen before.

I've never heard of a large party being hijacked and occupied for decades.

Apart from these few people, Ding Mian, Lu Bai, and the others were dumbfounded.

Compared to their surprise and astonishment, Fang Zheng and Chong Xu looked somewhat puzzled, especially Fang Zheng, whose face seemed to have become more gloomy.

Fang Zheng remained silent. He glanced at Abbess Qingwei and the others, then at Yue Buqun and Dingyi, his gaze lingering on them, especially on Yue Buqun.

No one spoke again, especially Zuo Lengchan and Zhenshanzi. They looked at each other, and an eerie silence fell over the room.

Jiang Ning sensed the strange, oppressive atmosphere but didn't speak. Now was not the time for him to speak; he should remain silent and continue observing the group.

Yue Buqun seemed to know what Fang Zheng was thinking and said with a smile, "That's right, the Emei orthodox sect had already informed me of this matter in advance, that's indeed the case."

"Indeed, my Hengshan Sect is also aware of this matter."

Master Dingyi then spoke up.

The Taoist Tianmen said, "I am already aware of this matter."

Master Mo glanced at Fang Zheng Chongxu, then at Yue Buqun, Ding Yi, and the others on his side, and said to the group, "I already know the details of this matter."

Yue Buqun had already informed them about the Emei matter beforehand. As for Abbess Dingyi and Daoist Tianmen, they both trusted Yue Buqun's character and immediately expressed their support after learning about it. Although Master Mo felt it was absurd, he did not fall behind.

After hearing what Yue Buqun and the others said, Zhenshanzi, Jiefeng, and the others fell silent, while Zuo Lengchan's mind went completely blank.

The four of you know, but I don't?

Zuo Lengchan was caught off guard and looked at Yu Yinzi and the others beside him.

Your sect leader knows about this, but you elders don't? Why aren't you telling me?

To everyone's surprise, when Zuo Lengchan looked over, he found that Yu Yinzi and the other members of the Taishan Sect also had completely bewildered expressions.

"Tianmen, why were we unaware of this matter?"

Yu Panzi questioned.

Upon hearing him speak, Tianmen Daoist's expression quickly turned cold.

"What? Does this sect leader have to report to his martial uncle for everything he does?"

"you!"

Yu Panzi and Yu Yinzi looked shocked and angry.

Although Tianmen Daoist hadn't had a good relationship with them in the past, he at least wouldn't show it in front of outsiders. Now, however, he seemed to be on high alert.

"What? Don't we have the right to know?"

A flash of anger crossed Yu Panzi's face, and he shouted directly.

Tianmen Daoist sneered: "You knew? If you had come earlier, you would have known too."

Ever since learning that Yu Yinzi and the others had defected to the Songshan Sect and were going to sell off their sect's foundation, Daoist Tianmen had been harboring a pent-up anger with nowhere to vent it. When he saw that the other party and Zuo Lengchan and the others had arrived late, Daoist Tianmen's fiery temper finally got the better of him, and he spoke with unusual arrogance.

Upon hearing his words, Yu Panzi and the others flew into a rage, shouting, "What do you mean? Are you complaining that we're late?"

Tianmen Daoist sneered repeatedly: "Uncles, we set off from Mount Tai together. Jin Yu and I arrived at Mount Hua a long time ago. You insisted on waiting for the Songshan Sect to come together, and you only arrived now. Do I need to tell you whether you are late or not?"

"Brother Tianmen."

Upon hearing this, Ding Mian couldn't help but speak up.

"We were extremely anxious after learning about the Huashan Sect's situation and rushed to Shaanxi without stopping. Fellow Daoist, are you blaming the Songshan Sect?"

If you're having internal arguments, why drag my Songshan Sect into it?

"Humph."

The sneer on Tianmen Daoist's face never stopped. He said, "Impatient? Relentless? I don't understand what you're saying, Brother Ding. Hengshan is far away in Shanxi, and my Taishan is far away in Shandong. Even Qingcheng and Emei are far away in Sichuan, and we've been there for quite some time. I can't see your impatience or relentless pace."

"They say the Five Mountains Sword Sects are as close as family, but where is that closeness now?"

Are you crazy?

The way Tianmen Daoist was going all out surprised not only Yu Panzi and Ding Mian, but also Fang Zheng, Chongxu, and Zhenshanzi, who all stared at the scene with slightly wide eyes.

Are the Five Mountains Sword Sects about to start fighting?

Master Qingwei was also taken aback.

Wasn't it said that the Five Mountains Sword Sects were as close as family? How come what she saw was not the same as what she thought?

Upon hearing Tianmen Daoist's words, Yue Buqun sensed that things were going wrong and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"Brother Dao, I think Alliance Leader Zuo and the others must have some important matters that have delayed them."

After speaking, Yue Buqun looked at Zuo Lengchan and said, "This matter originally belonged to my Huashan Sect. I am deeply grateful to Alliance Leader Zuo for coming from afar to support my Huashan Sect."

At this moment, Zuo Lengchan's expression remained unchanged. Upon hearing Yue Buqun's words, a look of guilt appeared on his face. He stepped forward and took Yue Buqun's hand, saying with shame, "It is indeed true that our Songshan Sect is late. Brother Tianmen is right. Our Five Mountains Sword Sects have been allied for a hundred years, and our relationship is extraordinary. We should have arrived here much earlier, but we have been late. This is my fault, Brother Yue, please do not blame me."

At this point, Zuo Lengchan's voice choked up slightly as he said, "Fortunately, Brother Yue single-handedly turned the tide. Otherwise, if the Huashan Sect had truly fallen victim to the Demonic Sect, I, as the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, would have been utterly unworthy of the trust placed in me."

Zuo Lengchan held Yue Buqun's hand and spoke with sincerity and earnestness, as if his words came from the bottom of his heart.

Chapter 243 Straight to the Point

Seeing Zuo Lengchan's appearance, Tianmen Daoist couldn't help but snort and was about to speak again, but he held back after seeing Yue Buqun.

"Master Uncle, please calm down."

Jiang Ning came up behind Tianmen Daoist and whispered.

He knew that Tianmen Daoist was unable to control his emotions because he was furious about the Songshan Sect's plan to annex the other four sects, but that was the truth, and anger was useless.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Tianmen Daoist glanced back at him, said nothing, and fell silent.

He was increasingly displeased with the Songshan Sect. If it weren't for the presence of people from Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, and Kunlun, Tianmen Daoist's fiery temper would have immediately led him to question Zuo Lengchan.

Hearing Zuo Lengchan's words, Yue Buqun smiled and said, "Hehe, all of this is thanks to my disciple Jiang Ning. If it weren't for him, Mount Hua would have been besieged for who knows how long."

Jiangning?

The expressions on everyone's faces changed slightly.

Jiang Ning's name has become quite famous recently, and it can be said that Jiang Ning has been the most controversial topic in the martial arts world for the past two years.

In March of this year, Jiang Ning personally killed Tian Boguang, a notorious womanizer in Hanzhong. He then went to Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan and wiped out Yu Canghai's entire sect. The Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect, who was chasing after him, fled in panic. All these events have shaken the martial arts world.

Although Jiang Ning himself has not been active in the martial arts world this year, his legend is already circulating everywhere.

Now everyone in the martial arts world knows that the Huashan Sect has produced a young master.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Kunlun Sect Leader Zhenshanzi looked at Jiang Ning in the crowd and smiled, "This must be the recently renowned King Ning, right?"

The name of Jiangning's King of Hell has already spread to Kunlun, beyond the Central Plains.

Everyone turned to look at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was easy to identify. He was the youngest among Tianmen Daoist, Dingyi Shita Ning Zhongze, and others, and he was wearing Huashan Sect clothing. Yue Buqun even brought him along to welcome the various sects. No one else was chosen for such special treatment.

"Junior Jiang Ning of Huashan Sect greets Senior."

Jiang Ning stepped forward, bowed to Zhen Shanzi, and then also addressed Fang Zheng and the others.

He didn't have to come out. Yue Buqun asked him to come along to meet the leaders of the various sects, and he didn't have to be in this scene. He could have just been a bystander. However, Yue Buqun mentioned his name and Zhenshanzi spoke to him, so he had no choice but to step forward.

"Truly a young prodigy!"

Zhen Shanzi looked at Jiang Ning with an expression of appreciation on his face.

Jiang Ning is indeed very young, so young that he can hardly hide his amazing talent.

"Brother Yue, you say that this is all thanks to your disciple. Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

One of the members of the Songshan Sect spoke up.

Yue Buqun looked at the man and smiled, "Brother Han, I have no intention of boasting. This incident was indeed thanks to my disciple Ning'er's overall command. It was he who devised the plan to wipe out that demoness's subordinates in one fell swoop."

Yue Buqun then recounted how Jiang Ning went down the mountain to contact Qingcheng and Emei and how he formulated the plan. Of course, he concealed some details, such as the fact that Mr. Mo had infiltrated the enemy's high command.

Upon hearing his words, Yu Panzi, Ding Mian, and the others looked at Jiang Ning with some skepticism, and then at Tianmen Daoist and Qingwei Shita behind him. Finding that they had no reaction, they realized that Yue Buqun might not be lying.

"more than."

Lu Dayou couldn't help but say, "When we were guarding the mountain, Junior Brother Jiang Ning stayed at Thousand-Foot Cliff by himself for seven days and seven nights. No matter how the people below attacked the mountain, not a single one of them could get through."

Lu Dayou always exaggerates when he speaks, and he doubled the time Jiang Ning would have to guard the mountain.

Master Dingyi and the others looked at him with surprise, but said nothing.

"Hehe, Junior Nephew Jiang is truly an outstanding person."

Zuo Lengchan looked at Jiang Ning and smiled, "Brother Yue has truly taught a good disciple. Unlike me, none of my disciples have become successful, let alone someone like Junior Nephew Jiang. Brother Yue, I am truly envious."

Yue Buqun chuckled and said, "To be honest, I didn't teach him much. It's just that this kid practices hard enough and has some talent."

That's what he said, but the smile on Yue Buqun's face showed that he was very satisfied.

Master Dingyi looked at Yue Buqun speechlessly.

She remembered that Yue Buqun had the same expression and tone when he mentioned the clothes Jiang Ning bought for him last time.

Although Zuo Lengchan was also somewhat speechless, after these words, the argument that was almost started by Tianmen Daoist was finally calmed down.

"Leader Zuo, Master Fangzheng, Daoist Chongxu, everyone, please follow me up the mountain. I have already arranged rooms. You have come from afar, so please rest well after you arrive."

Yue Buqun greeted the group as they ascended the mountain.

Neither Fang Zheng nor Chong Xu said anything more.

What shocked them most was the matter of the Emei Sect, but after the interruption just now, they couldn't say anything more. They could only wait until they arranged for people to go to Sichuan to investigate what had happened.

They have more important things to consider right now.

Fang Zheng remained calm as he glanced at Yue Buqun.

Although he didn't know what exactly happened to the Emei Sect, at least one thing was certain: the so-called orthodox Emei sect was definitely related to the Huashan sect.
