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

"Why does Alliance Leader Zuo have such a sour face? Who owes you money?"

After practicing his own unique Frost Qi, Zuo Lengchan's facial muscles became stiff due to the effects of the technique, making him unable to make many expressions. Although he has improved a lot now, he still has a cold face, which is why Ren Woxing is mocking him for his expression.

"Humph."

Zuo Lengchan gave a cold laugh.

"I heard that Master Ren... no, now the Demonic Sect is led by Dongfang Bubai, and Mr. Ren is no longer the leader."

Zuo Lengchan continued, "I heard that Mr. Ren was imprisoned by his former subordinate Dongfang Bubai for more than ten years. I thought I would never see Mr. Ren again in this life. I didn't expect that Mr. Ren has been freed. It is truly a cause for celebration."

Zuo Lengchan said "Congratulations" but his tone was cold and his expression remained unchanged.

A ferocious look appeared on Ren Woxing's face, and his gaze toward Zuo Lengchan revealed murderous intent, but he then laughed as if nothing had happened.

"Yes, I haven't seen the light of day for many years. I didn't expect to hear about the Five Mountains Sword Sect's important matter of re-electing their leader as soon as I came out. I've had dealings with the Five Mountains Sword Sect for many years and we have a long-standing friendship. I originally wanted to come here to offer my congratulations, but I didn't expect to hear about the internal discord within the Five Mountains Sword Sect as soon as I arrived at Mount Song. I heard that they're about to fight."

Ren Woxing looked at Zuo Lengchan with a puzzled and curious expression.

"I heard that the Left Sect Leader secretly sent people to hunt down the Taishan Sect, and also sent undercover agents to monitor the Huashan Sect. He is also infiltrating and trying to win over the Hengshan Sect, intending to annex the Four Mountains. Now all four sects are coming to cause you trouble?"

As Ren Woxing spoke, his gaze swept over the four sects of Huashan, Hengshan, Taishan, and Hengshan, and he clicked his tongue in amazement.

"It seems I've arrived too early. If I had known you hadn't started fighting yet, I might have arrived a little later and witnessed a good show."

"I, Zuo, have never done such things. In my opinion, these things were probably done by Mr. Ren, with the aim of instigating infighting within the Five Mountains Sword Sect so that the Demonic Sect could reap the benefits."

Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly.

Ren Woxing laughed loudly, "I act with integrity and would never stoop to such underhanded tactics. It is the Grand Master Zuo who dares to do it but not admit it. This is not the behavior of a hero, huh? Hahahaha."

Zuo Lengchan said coldly, "The truth will eventually come to light. When that time comes, everyone will know whether it was me or Mr. Ren who was behind it."

"It's been many years. I see that Master Zuo's skills haven't improved much, but his skin has become much thicker. Now that the four sects hate you to the bone, Master Zuo remains calm and composed, still using flattery and eloquence. He is indeed a talented person."

Ren Woxing chuckled.

"In my opinion, it's a waste of your talents for the Left Grand Master to stay on Mount Song. Why not come to my Sun Moon Sect? After I personally kill Dongfang Bubai, who usurped the position of my sect, I will appoint you as an elder. Wouldn't that be more free than being the Songshan Sect Master? You can kill whomever you want, why hide?"

Zuo Lengchan gave a cold laugh.

"Now that Dongfang Bubai is the number one in the world, Mr. Ren, if you want to take back the position of leader from Dongfang Bubai, I'm afraid you are no match for Dongfang Bubai."

Ren Woxing and Zuo Lengchan addressed each other with great politeness, as if they were chatting as friends, but the content of their conversation was quite interesting, as they precisely targeted each other's sore spots.

The verbal sparring between these two powerful figures from the righteous and demonic paths left many martial arts practitioners stunned.

"Alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you anymore. After all this talk, let's just get it over with. It's been a long time since I've experienced Master Zuo's Songyang Divine Palm."

Ren Woxing interrupted the verbal sparring session and challenged Zuo Lengchan to a one-on-one duel.

Zuo Lengchan said coldly, "Mr. Ren has been imprisoned by Dongfang Bubai for more than ten years, and I haven't used my Great Songyang Divine Palm for many years. I'm afraid I'm no match for Mr. Ren. However, since Mr. Ren is in such a mood, I don't mind accompanying him."

Are the two about to fight?

Listening to the conversation between the two, the group of martial arts practitioners watched quietly, and no one made a sound.

Fang Zheng blinked but didn't interrupt.

"Let's do it another day. I'm not really in the mood to fight today. I'll spar with you when Master Zuo is done with his business."

Unexpectedly, Ren Woxing changed his tune and no longer wanted to fight Zuo Lengchan.

Zuo Lengchan sneered and remained silent.

In fact, he didn't really want to fight Ren Woxing at this time. Although he had created the Frost True Qi to counter Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique, the four factions, including Yue Buqun, were about to fight him, so it was not appropriate to fight Ren Woxing at this time.

"Then what brings Master Ren to Mount Song today?"

Seeing that the two were no longer fighting, Fang Zheng finally spoke.

Ren Woxing looked at Fang Zheng, smiled, and held up two fingers.

"I have come to Mount Song today for two reasons."

"First, I originally wanted to come and visit the Five Mountains Sword Sect Alliance Leader Conference, but now it seems I won't be able to see it. However, watching your internal strife is quite interesting."

"Secondly, I heard that my daughter Yingying was chased and killed by a little beast named Jiang Ning from the Huashan Sect last year. I have come here specifically to avenge my daughter."

Ren Woxing looked toward the Huashan Sect's camp.

"If you hand over Jiangning, I guarantee we'll be at peace today; otherwise, I'll massacre Mount Song."

Chapter 373: Yue Buqun's Angry Outburst

Sure enough!

Yue Buqun tightened his grip on the folding fan slightly, his heart sinking.

Ren Woxing was once the leader of the Demonic Sect, and Ren Yingying is his daughter. Jiang Ning even chased Ren Yingying so hard that she almost died. The other party would not let it go so easily. Now Ren Woxing has asked them to hand over Jiang Ning.

Given the extent of Ren Yingying's hatred for Jiang Ning, if Jiang Ning were to fall into her hands, even death would be a luxury.

Yue Buqun's face turned cold and he was about to speak when the others spoke first.

"What arrogance!"

At this critical juncture, the first to speak was surprisingly Zuo Lengchan.

Zuo Lengchan stared coldly at Ren Woxing.

"Mr. Ren is far too arrogant. He dares to talk about massacring my Songshan Mountain. Such arrogance shows that more than ten years of imprisonment have not made Mr. Ren humble. Don't forget, this is not more than ten years ago, and you are no longer the leader of the Demonic Sect who was once above ten thousand people."

Zuo Lengchan retorted without any hesitation.

Seeing that the other party was attacking him with the very thing he hated most, Ren Woxing's face also turned cold. He looked at Zuo Lengchan coldly and no longer used polite terms of address.

"Hey, you surnamed Zuo, I'm looking for trouble with the Huashan Sect. What does it have to do with your Songshan Sect? Aren't you two about to start fighting?"

Zuo Lengchan sneered.

Whether the other side kills Jiang Ning or not is none of his business. To be precise, he actually hopes that Ren Woxing can really get rid of Jiang Ning, since Jiang Ning's strength is really high, and who knows how many of them he might kill when the fight starts.

However, Jiang Ning can die, but he cannot die like this. If he is truly threatened by Ren Woxing, the Songshan Sect will have no place in the martial arts world anymore.

Zuo Lengchan absolutely forbids it.

"Master Ren is far too confident."

Fang Zheng also spoke up, still addressing Ren Woxing as Leader Ren, but without the same politeness as before.

"If Instructor Ren demands that my righteous path hand over Benefactor Jiang to avenge Miss Ren's personal grudge, or else he will massacre all of us righteous people, then he is underestimating my righteous path."

Regardless of what Zuo Lengchan or Fang Zheng thought, at this moment their attitude towards Ren Woxing was the same.

Ren Woxing glanced at Zuo Lengchan, then at Fang Zheng, and then at the others. His eyes darted around slightly as he smiled.

“The abbot is right. I was wrong. The one who has a grudge against my daughter is that brat from the Huashan Sect. It has nothing to do with the rest of you.”

Ren Woxing did not continue to be forceful, but looked at the Huashan Sect and said loudly.

Who is Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect?

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun took a slight step forward, put his hands behind his back, and replied calmly.

"That's right, Yue."

Ren Woxing looked Yue Buqun up and down, then laughed.

"Everyone in the martial arts world calls him the Gentleman Swordsman. Now that I've met him in person, he certainly looks like a refined gentleman, but whether he's a swordsman or not is another matter."

Ren Woxing praised her verbally, but the meaning behind his tone was quite ambiguous.

Ning Zhongze was the first to get angry and was about to stand up and speak when Yue Buqun reached out and blocked her with his folding fan.

Yue Buqun smiled faintly, without any reaction.

Seeing that Yue was not provoked, Ren Woxing did not continue to drag it out and said, "Mr. Yue, I will not waste words with you. That brat of yours named Jiang Ning injured my daughter. I have always been one to avenge wrongs. Today, in front of all the heroes of the world, I will make things clear to you. As long as your Huashan Sect hands over Jiang Ning to my daughter to deal with, I will spare your Huashan Sect's life. Otherwise, none of the dozens of people in your Huashan Sect will be able to leave Songshan alive. Those brats on Huashan will also be wiped out by my Divine Sect, leaving no one alive."

After saying this, Ren Woxing looked in the direction of Zuo Lengchan and Fang Zheng, and sure enough, Zuo Lengchan was silent at this moment.

Fang Zheng blinked as if he wanted to say something, but then seemed to remember something and remained silent.

"Master."

At this moment, Jiang Ning spoke, but Yue Buqun held out his index finger behind his back, signaling him to stop.

"It's not your turn to speak yet."

Yue Buqun said something in a low voice, then looked at Ren Woxing.

Yue Buqun chuckled and said, "Mr. Ren has been trapped for many years. I suppose he has been dreaming a lot, which has made his speech more interesting."

It was impossible for him to make an appointment; Jiang Ning held an irreplaceable place in his heart.

Jiang Ning is the future of the Huashan Sect. He is still young and has a lot of room for growth. He will surely lead the Huashan Sect to its peak in the future. In Yue Buqun's heart, Jiang Ning's status has already surpassed that of himself.

Yue Buqun would rather die himself than let Jiang Ning die.

Now, whenever I act, I demand that he hand over Jiangning, which undoubtedly angers Yue Buqun to the point that even he, who usually presents himself as a gentleman, has become extremely aggressive in his speech.

"It is true that Ning'er injured your daughter, but my Five Mountains Sword Sect and your Demonic Sect have always been enemies. It was your daughter who sent people to attack Ning'er in Sichuan first, which led to Ning'er chasing after your daughter. If anyone is talking about revenge, it is Yue who should say it. It is not Mr. Ren's place to say such things."

"As for asking me to hand over Ning'er, that's even more ridiculous. I've been traveling the martial world for decades and have never heard such a thing. If you're so capable, Mr. Ren, you can do it now. If you can really slaughter the entire Huashan Sect, then that would be a testament to your skill. Why say such laughable things?"

Yue Buqun still had a smile on his face, but everyone present could clearly hear the sharpness and harshness in his words.

"Demon!"

Compared to Yue Buqun, who could still address Ren Woxing as "Mr. Ren," Tianmen Daoist, who had remained silent but stared at Zuo Lengchan with a death stare, finally spoke, his words quite impolite.

"Everyone should kill the demons of the cult, let alone your daughter, who is the most monstrous of all. So what if we hunt her down? Even if we kill her, it's no big deal. If you want to seek revenge against the Huashan Sect now, feel free to try."

Jiang Ning had saved his life before and helped him a great deal at Mount Tai. Without Jiang Ning single-handedly killing four Taibao, the Mount Tai Sect would have been taken over by Zuo Lengchan long ago. Tianmen Daoist has always kept in mind Jiang Ning's kindness to him and the Mount Tai Sect. Now that Ren Woxing is going to make a move against Jiang Ning, Tianmen Daoist will never sit idly by.

"Amitabha."

Master Dingxian shook her head, chanted a Buddhist prayer, and remained silent, but led the Hengshan disciples to stand beside the Huashan Sect.

"Whoever wants to destroy the Huashan Sect today, then destroy my Emei Sect as well."

At this moment, Abbess Qingzhu, who had remained silent until now, stepped forward in full view of everyone and clearly expressed her strong support for the Huashan Sect. Such an attitude drew the attention of heroes from all over the world.

When did the Emei Sect and the Huashan Sect become so close?
