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

The Emei Sect actually had a conflict with the Five Poisons Sect?

Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised.

At this moment

"Let's go."

The leading Emei female disciple spoke, and the other two female disciples also sheathed their swords.

Just as the three were about to leave, the female disciple in the lead turned around and saw Jiang Ning. She paused for a moment, then nodded slightly to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning also felt that the female disciple looked familiar, and then recognized her as one of the people who had supported Mount Hua last time. Judging from this, she must have recognized him as well.

"Greetings, three senior sisters."

Jiang Ning smiled.

"Junior brother is fine too."

The female disciple also said that the other two Emei female disciples did not know who Jiang Ning was, but they returned the greeting.

"Junior brother, we have something to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."

The Emei disciple continued.

"Take care, my three senior sisters."

Jiang Ning smiled.

The female disciple then left with her two junior sisters, without exchanging many words with Jiang Ning.

"Senior sister, who was that person just now? Was he a junior brother from the Huashan Sect?"

After the three had walked some distance, one of the female disciples asked curiously.

Now that the Emei Sect and the Huashan Sect have formed an alliance, it is not inappropriate for the two sects to address each other as "senior sister" and "junior brother," as it shows closer kinship. Therefore, when this female disciple called Jiang Ning "junior brother," they knew that Jiang Ning was a disciple of the Huashan Sect.

The Emei female disciple, who was addressed as "Senior Sister," nodded.

"That is Jiang Ning."

"what?"

Upon hearing her words, the two junior sisters' eyes widened instantly.

"Is he Ning Yanwang?"

The senior student nodded.

The two junior female students were quite excited upon receiving confirmation.

"He looks quite handsome and doesn't seem that fierce."

"Senior sister, why are you shaking?"

At this moment, a junior female student noticed that something was wrong.

The female disciple, who was called "senior sister," was trembling slightly, and her palms were sweating.

"I wasn't shaking."

Upon hearing this, the senior sister immediately spoke up.

"Look at you, you don't actually like him, do you?"

However, her two junior sisters did not believe her and looked at her suspiciously.

Jiang Ning is young, highly skilled in martial arts, and although his appearance isn't particularly outstanding, he is still handsome. It's normal for people to have a good impression of such a young and talented person.

However, after hearing her junior's words, the senior sister shook her head vigorously, showing no embarrassment at having her thoughts exposed.

She wasn't acting this way because she liked Jiang Ning, but because she was nervous.

Instead, she remembered the time when Jiang Ning led them and the Taoists from Qingcheng Mountain to ambush the group that bought supplies. She had personally witnessed Jiang Ning crush a person's head with his bare hands, and Jiang Ning standing in the enemy camp covered in blood, surrounded by countless corpses. She still remembered that bloody scene.

Chapter 357: Ascending Mount Song

After saying goodbye to the three Emei female disciples, Jiang Ning continued to stroll around the streets.

Since sitting in the inn is boring anyway, it's good to go out for a walk.

Jiang Ning wandered around for a while longer, but nothing happened, so he prepared to return to the inn.

The Hengshan Sect is arriving today, and he needs to go back and prepare to welcome them.

"Sir, we're just running a small business."

At that moment, Jiang Ning heard a sound coming from not far away.

Upon hearing this sound, Jiang Ning unconsciously turned his gaze in that direction.

An elderly street vendor was pleading with a burly man.

"You're dawdling over eating at your place. Go ask around and see where I've ever paid for a meal?"

The burly man shouted.

"I advise you to just pay the money honestly."

At this moment, a passerby from the martial arts world saw this and spoke up.

"Why?"

Upon hearing someone ask him to pay, the burly man instinctively retorted.

"You just arrived here today, right?"

The martial arts expert sneered.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The burly man replied impatiently.

"You didn't know the Huashan Sect was here too?"

After saying that, the martial arts expert left.

"What's wrong with the Huashan Sect? Is it any of their business if I don't pay for my meal?"

The burly man muttered something to himself.

"If the Huashan Sect is here, it means that King Ning is here too."

Seeing him like this, other passersby couldn't help but offer a word of advice.

Upon hearing those three words, the burly man's expression froze.

For some reason, after hearing the name Ning Yanwang, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if he were being watched.

"Here you go, here you go, here you go."

Suddenly, the burly man pulled out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and threw them to the vendor, then hurriedly left.

"Sir, that's too much, you don't need so much."

The vendor was somewhat taken aback and called out, but the burly man walked away quickly, as if he hadn't heard him at all.

"..."

Jiang Ning, who had witnessed this scene from a short distance, turned and left.

When Jiang Ning returned to the inn, he found that most of the Huashan disciples were already waiting outside, along with disciples from the Hengshan and Taishan sects.

"Junior brother, you're back. Master was just about to send us out to look for you."

At this moment, Lu Dayou saw Jiang Ning returning and quickly went up to her and said something.

"What's wrong, senior brother? Why are you all outside?"

Jiang Ning asked with some surprise, "Has the Hengshan Sect arrived already?"

Lu Da nodded: "A junior sister from the Hengshan Sect has arrived. She said they would be late and asked us to set off first, so Master is preparing to go up Mount Song first."

"Late?"

Jiang Ning frowned.

Could something have happened?

Jiang Ning couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Just as Jiang Ning was wondering what was going on, Yue Buqun came out of the inn, accompanied by Ning Zhongze and Tianmen Daoist and others.

"You're back?"

Yue Buqun also saw Jiang Ning and asked.

"Master and Mistress..."

Jiang Ning bowed to each person, and only after finishing did he ask, "Did Uncle-Master Dingyi and the others experience any delays on their journey?"

"Ah."

Yue Buqun nodded: "I don't know the specifics either, but it shouldn't be too long, so Abbess Dingxian told us to go up Mount Song first."

Seeing that Yue Buqun said this, and that he didn't think there would be any problems with the Hengshan Sect, Jiang Ning felt a little relieved.

"Now that you're back, let's set off."

Yue Buqun said.

"Yes, Master."

Jiang Ning nodded.

After a while, once all the disciples had been gathered, the four sects of Huashan, Taishan, Hengshan, and Emei set off, forming a grand procession of over a thousand people.

Among the various factions that came this time, Jiangning's own sect only had a few dozen people, Taishan Sect had more than 300 people, Hengshan Sect had more than 100 people, and Emei Sect had more than 500 people, which was more than the number of people who came to support Huashan Sect last time.

This shows how much they valued this trip to Mount Song.

It's probably not just about visiting the Five Mountains Sword Sects to change their leader.

Jiang Ning thought of it.
