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

Upon hearing this, Han Tianpeng frowned, not yet understanding what was happening, when Du Lanyin had already drawn her sword and pointed it at the portly man, her face filled with hatred.

"Master Han, save me!"

The well-to-do man, who hadn't yet figured out what was happening, was shocked by what he saw and immediately screamed.

"stop!"

Han Tianpeng shouted.

After saying that, Han Tianpeng immediately reached out to grab Du Lanyin's sword, but someone else on the other side was faster than him.

A figure flashed over and struck out with a palm.

Bang!

Han Tianpeng stumbled back several steps until he knocked over a table before regaining his balance.

"Master!"

Several disciples from Mount Song were shocked to see this and quickly went to help him up.

"Humph!"

Enraged, Han Tianpeng broke free from his disciple's support and glared at the figure in front of him.

"What does your Huashan Sect want? You're causing trouble on my Songshan Sect's territory. Do you want to break ties with my Songshan Sect?"

At this moment, his eyes were filled with intense fear.

Jiang Ning withdrew his hand from in front of Du Lanyin, as if nothing had happened.

Upon hearing Han Tianpeng's words, Jiang Ning ignored them and simply said...

"My senior sister was murdered and her family was destroyed before she entered Mount Hua. Today she wants to avenge her parents, and no one can stop her."

After speaking, Jiang Ning stepped aside and nodded to Du Lanyin.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Han Tianpeng's expression turned extremely ugly.

"Do you still remember Mr. and Mrs. Du Zhong, who were beaten to death by your Xu family fourteen years ago for refusing to have their land bought?"

Du Lanyin sternly questioned the portly man.

"Eucommia ulmoides?"

The portly man looked blank for a moment, clearly unable to recall.

He couldn't remember all the people who had been robbed and killed by the Xu family.

"I'm innocent, Grandma! I didn't do it!"

Whether he remembered it or not, the well-off man immediately began to shirk responsibility.

"I didn't kill him, it has nothing to do with me. It was all done by my subordinates. I just ordered them to buy up the land, but I never expected that they would kill someone behind my back."

The well-off man kept kowtowing and apologizing.

Indeed, as he said, he did not kill Du Lanyin's parents with his own hands, and he did not know Du Zhong and his wife, but they were inextricably linked to him.

Du Lanyin looked at him with barely suppressed hatred in her eyes, pressed her sword against his neck, and shouted.

"Where is your steward? Where is he now?"

"I'll call right away, I'll call right away."

The portly man cried out in pain and hurriedly called to the servants outside.

"Someone, someone, go and fetch Steward Qin for me! Hurry up!!"

"Yes, sir."

Someone outside responded and then left.

Before long, several servants led an old man into the main hall.

"master!"

"father!"

Just then, several shouts rang out from outside the main hall, and a group of women and a young man hurried into the hall, their faces filled with anxiety.

"Who are you people? How dare you take my master hostage! You're asking for trouble!"

The woman at the head of the group entered and immediately began to hurl insults, completely oblivious to the atmosphere in the hall.

"Shut up!"

Upon seeing this, the well-to-do man immediately cursed.

The woman immediately shut her mouth after being yelled at, her eyes showing grievance.

"master……"

The portly man didn't look at her, but pointed to the old man and said, "Grandma, he's the housekeeper. He's the one who does all the work. You should look for him."

Upon seeing the old man, the hatred in Du Lanyin's eyes intensified even further.

"You scoundrel!"

Upon seeing her enemy before her, Du Lanyin could no longer suppress the hatred in her eyes.

"Spare me! Spare me! It was all the master's orders!"

The old man knew what was going on before he arrived, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

"I only told them to collect the land, I didn't tell them to kill anyone, it's none of my business."

The portly man was also shirking responsibility and kept refuting the claims.

However, Du Lanyin ignored their excuses and killed the steward with a single sword stroke, then walked towards the wealthy man.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

The portly man screamed in terror.

"Master Han, save me! Master Han, save me!"

Han Tianpeng, whose name was called, looked at Jiang Ning with a grim expression.

"You've already avenged your family, do you still want to wipe them all out?"

Jiang Ning looked at him without saying anything.

He was considering whether or not to kill another bodyguard.

(My cousin is getting married and I've been asked to be his best man. I'll be so busy that I might not be able to update. I'm taking a few days off, everyone. I promise I'll update more chapters when I get back!)

Chapter 346: Retreat

Why are you looking at me like that?

Han Tianpeng found Jiang Ning's gaze creepy, making him feel uncomfortable.

Jiang Ning looked at him for a while before looking away.

Now is not the time.

With the Five Mountains Sword Alliance Leaders Conference approaching, although Yue Buqun is prepared to confront Zuo Lengchan, it is not advisable for Jiangning to make the first move, lest it disrupt Yue Buqun's plans.

I wish I could see Han Tianpeng somewhere deserted.

Unaware that he had just narrowly escaped death, Han Tianpeng felt a surge of anger when he saw Jiang Ning ignoring him. He instinctively wanted to shout, but reason kept him silent.

The person sitting in front of him was no ordinary junior from the Five Mountains Sword Sect; he wouldn't let him scold him.

Jiang Ning's fearsome reputation made him very wary.

"Master Han, save me!!"

At this moment, the portly man was still pleading with Han Tianpeng for help.

Han Tianpeng's expression was uncertain, but in the end he didn't speak.

The portly man saw through his thoughts and his eyes showed despair.

Du Lanyin approached step by step, sword in hand.

However, at this moment, the well-off man seemed to have a mental breakdown and started cursing.

"The one surnamed Han!"

The portly man cursed, "You're a faithless person! I gave you so much silver, promising to protect the Xu family, and you broke your word! You deserve a terrible death!!"

The once well-to-do man, who had always been respectful to Han Tianpeng, was now pointing his finger at Han Tianpeng and cursing him, looking like a madman.

Han Tianpeng was furious upon hearing this, but he quickly calmed down.

He knew that the other man was blinded by fear at this moment; otherwise, even if the well-to-do man had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to speak to him like this.

Even though he knew it, the way the other party was insulting him still made him furious.

And what they said was all the truth.

"Humph!"

Han Tianpeng snorted coldly and left without a word.

The other disciples of Songshan immediately followed.

At this point, the portly man continued to hurl insults, his words growing increasingly vehement.

Han Tianpeng paused, wishing he could turn around and kill him, but then left with a cold smile.

This guy is dead for good; he doesn't even need to lift a finger.

Jiang Ning watched Han Tianpeng leave expressionlessly and did not stop him.

The burly man's insults only stopped after Han Tianpeng had completely left.

Du Lanyin looked at him coldly.

The bloodstains on the sword were still wet, and a bloody smell wafted out.

The woman who had been shouting earlier was now terrified and fell silent.
