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

Ren Woxing looked at Yue Buqun, whose expression was calm and serene, as if he were an immortal.

boom!

Ren Woxing threw another punch.

While Ren Woxing was still catching his breath, Yue Buqun relentlessly pursued him. However, after the earlier incident distracted him, Ren Woxing recovered, and Yue Buqun regained his composure. As expected, Yue Buqun did not directly confront Ren Woxing's attacks but chose to dodge.

However, Ren Woxing did not choose to pursue. Instead, he shouted loudly and retreated from the battlefield, returning to the camp of the Sun Moon Sect.

"father!"

"Master, are you alright?"

Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian immediately surrounded them.

Ren Woxing's face was tense, his hands behind his back. Hearing his daughter and subordinates' greetings, Ren Woxing slowly shook his head and remained silent.

At this moment, he was doing his best to suppress the side effects of the Star Absorbing Technique within his body.

Clang!

Seeing that Ren Woxing had retreated and stopped fighting, Yue Buqun also sheathed his sword and retreated back to the Huashan Sect.

"Master."

"father."

A group of Huashan disciples and Yue Lingshan also gathered around.

"Sect Leader Yue."

Abbess Dingxian, Taoist Tianmen, and others also came over to inquire about Yue Buqun's condition.

Yue Buqun looked at Master Dingxian and the others, and nodded with a smile.

"Thank you all for your concern, I am fine."

At this moment, apart from his slightly disheveled hair, Yue Buqun's breathing was very steady, showing no signs of having just experienced a major battle.

After saying a few words, Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning and nodded to him.

it is more than words.

Jiang Ning also came back.

Yue Buqun looked at Ren Woxing in the distance and was about to speak when Ning Zhongze pointed her sword at Ren Woxing.

"Hey Ren, you launched a sneak attack earlier, and now you're backing out halfway through? Are you admitting defeat?"

Ren Woxing was still suppressing the side effects of the Star Absorbing Technique. After hearing Ning Zhongze's words, his expression turned ugly, and he remained silent.

"Amitabha."

At this point, Fang Zheng stepped forward to smooth things over.

"In this battle, Sect Leader Yue and Sect Leader Ren have been locked in a fierce struggle for a long time without a clear victor. In my humble opinion, how about a draw?"

"How can this be considered a draw?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng immediately spoke up, contradicting Qingzhu Shitai, who stood on the side of the Huashan Sect.

"Sect Leader Yue had already gained the upper hand during the duel. If it weren't for the Demonic Sect's sneak attack, he could have defeated Ren Woxing in no time. Everyone saw what happened just now clearly. How can this be considered a draw?"

The martial arts practitioners watching the battle couldn't help but nod, wanting to echo Master Qingzhu's words, but the pressure from the Sun and Moon Sect was too great for them to dare to speak.

What does "sneak attack" mean?

Someone from the Sun Moon Sect spoke up.

"We accidentally shot it out, but you killed our people instead. Besides, Yue Buqun hasn't defeated the leader in all this time. It's because the leader doesn't want to fight anymore. How can you call that a loss?"

Hearing these almost shameless words, many members of the righteous faction were furious and immediately began arguing with the other party.

Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng frowned and remained silent.

A draw would be best given the current situation. If they insist on arguing and provoke Ren Woxing into going back on his word, a bloodbath will ensue on Mount Song, and Shaolin will definitely not be able to extricate themselves. This is not what Fang Zheng wants to see.

"Alright, shut up, all of you!"

Ren Woxing finally spoke, raising his hand to stop his subordinates from speaking.

Ren Woxing closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed down. He finally had time to speak.

"My old injury flared up during my match with Sect Leader Yue, which is why we ended the match early. Although we didn't decide who was the winner, my men just now took it upon themselves to interfere, so I consider this a loss."

Ren Woxing said in a deep voice.

Just now, when he was fighting with Yue Buqun, he caused a backlash to occur to himself. Although he did not lose in the end, he was indeed the one who couldn't take it anymore. If he had to force a draw to save face, Ren Woxing couldn't afford to lose face, so he simply admitted defeat.

However, in his heart he did not think he had really lost. The main reason for this defeat was that he had no chance to use his Star Absorbing Technique from beginning to end. Otherwise, Yue Buqun would definitely not have been his match.

Upon hearing Ren Woxing admit defeat, the leaders of the major sects on the righteous side, represented by Fang Zheng Chongxu, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I keep my word, so let's drop this matter today."

Ren Woxing glanced at Yue Buqun, then at Jiang Ning.

Although he had temporarily suppressed the foreign true energy within his body, Ren Woxing still needed to go back to adjust his body and did not intend to stay any longer, so he was about to leave immediately.

However, before leaving, Ren Woxing glanced at Yue Buqun.

"Sect Leader Yue's martial arts are indeed superb. I didn't expect that among the Five Mountains Sword Sect, besides the one surnamed Zuo, there would be such a master as you. Your disciple's martial arts are also quite good."

"The Huashan Sect is indeed profound, worthy of being the former leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. If the Huashan Sect had not declined, the current Five Mountains Sword Sect would probably not have the position of leader of the alliance."

As a long-time rival, Ren Woxing would seize any opportunity to put down Zuo Lengchan.

Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly and remained silent.

Yue Buqun remained expressionless and did not respond to Ren Woxing.

Ren Woxing glanced at Yue Buqun, then at Fang Zheng, as if deep in thought.

After a while.

Ren Woxing laughed.

"It's just a pity that if it weren't for Yue and Cai's efforts in the sword qi competition of the Huashan Sect back then..."

Ren Woxing stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking, and did not continue.

Ren Woxing suddenly sensed a faint killing intent.

Looking to the side, he saw Fang Zheng looking at him.

Chapter 385: Discord

Fang Zheng's expression was serene, like that of a kind elder.

But Ren Woxing had already sensed that the killing intent emanating from Fang Zheng.

"Demon, what's wrong with my two grandmasters, Yue and Cai?"

Ning Zhongze pressed for an answer.

Ren Woxing came to his senses, glanced at Ning Zhongze, and laughed, "It's nothing. I just wanted to say that if it weren't for the falling out between Yue and Cai back then, which caused your Huashan Sect to split into the Sword and Qi Sects, the Huashan Sect wouldn't have fallen into its current state."

"Humph!"

Ning Zhongze snorted coldly.

"It's only a matter of time before the Huashan Sect, under my husband's leadership, returns to its former glory."

"hehe."

Ren Woxing sneered: "Then my Divine Sect will have to see with our own eyes how the Huashan Sect returns to its peak. I'll be watching."

"That's none of your business, you defeated general."

Ning Zhongze responded coldly.

Ren Woxing snorted coldly.

"Master Yue's martial arts are indeed superb, but the most powerful thing in the world is not martial arts, but conspiracy and trickery."

As if he had thought of something, Ren Woxing said again, "Intrigue and trickery can turn me from the leader of a cult who is above all others into a prisoner, and can also cause a power to decline from its peak. Great monk, don't you agree?"

Ren Woxing looked at Fang Zheng one last time.

"Amitabha."

Fang Zheng put his hands together in prayer position.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Ren Woxing laughed heartily, and then took one last look at Yue Buqun.

"Sect Leader Yue, my old injuries have flared up today, and I have temporarily lost to you. I will fight you again another day to settle the score!"

After saying this, Ren Woxing led the Sun Moon Sect down the mountain in a grand procession.

Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying quickly followed, but before leaving, they both turned back to look at Jiang Ning.

Both of them had hatred and murderous intent in their eyes.

Sensing the murderous intent in their eyes, Jiang Ning didn't look at Wentian, but instead looked at Ren Yingying, a smile playing on his lips.

Seeing Jiang Ning smile at her, Ren Yingying's hatred deepened, and she couldn't help but want to rush up and kill Jiang Ning, but reason made her restrain herself.

She understood that her martial arts skills were no match for Jiang Ning's now, and it was impossible for her to kill him. She also had no chance of killing Jiang Ning today.

But she will definitely not give up.

Before leaving, Ren Yingying turned back to look at Jiang Ning one last time, and the look in her eyes was terrifying to those around her.

Jiang Ning still wore that same smile.

Ren Woxing has descended the mountain.

The followers of the Sun Moon Sect had lost the momentum they had when they first came up the mountain, and they all fell silent as they descended.

Seeing that the Sun Moon Sect had descended the mountain, the martial arts figures and sect leaders, including Fang Zheng, who were still on the Fengchan Terrace of Mount Song, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A bloody battle was finally averted.
