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

After saying this, the scholar gestured to one of the men to go and get it.

The person being gestured to was just a third-rate character. He was initially a little scared, but when the scholar told him to go up, he swallowed hard and cautiously headed towards Jiang Ning, keeping a close eye on whether Jiang Ning would suddenly start killing someone, as if he were facing not a person, but a raging beast.

But as he approached Jiang Ning step by step, Jiang Ning did not react. He just sat there quietly until he was less than a meter away from Jiang Ning. His heart was in his throat. If Jiang Ning made a move at this moment, he would surely die. However, under these circumstances, Jiang Ning did not make any further moves. It was as if he was really intimidated by these people and let them take away the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual.

He reached out towards the manual on the table, but Jiang Ning didn't move.

This third-rate character couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to touch the manual, Jiang Ning suddenly spoke.

"Your hands are shaking, are you scared?"

Jiang Ning's voice came suddenly, startling him. He instinctively looked over and found Jiang Ning looking at him with a faint smile on her face.

What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of dying?

Jiang Ning asked.

This third-rate character was extremely wary.

Jiang Ning continued.

“They all want the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, but they are too afraid to come over because they value their lives. He asked you to come and scout ahead, so you came. You are afraid of death, but you can’t resist your greed. People like you are often the ones who die the fastest.”

Upon hearing this, he realized something was wrong and turned to run away, but it was too late.

Jiang Ning grabbed his head with one hand and twisted it. With a snap, the head and body rotated 360 degrees and separated instantly.

Jiang Ning's move surprised everyone.

puff.

The headless corpse fell to the ground.

Jiang Ning stood up, holding his head in one hand, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

Several tendons below the skull were exposed in the air, dripping blood, creating an extremely horrifying scene.

really.

There's no way to resolve this peacefully today.

The scholar's face darkened; things had reached their worst point.

"on!"

The other person spoke directly, his expression fierce.

The crowd immediately swarmed forward.

call out!

A hidden weapon flew from the side. Jiang Ning glanced at it, caught it precisely with two fingers, and then threw it back, hitting a person squarely in the forehead. The hidden weapon embedded itself in the skull.

A crowd surged forward from all directions.

Jiang Ning flicked his hand, sending a head flying that smashed into a man. He then stepped forward and kicked him, beginning the massacre.

After a while.

Corpses were scattered all around, and bloodstains were everywhere.

The scholar lay sprawled on the ground, trembling, sweat beading on his temples.

Jiang Ning came to him.

"Where did you get this portrait from?"

Jiang Ning looked at the scholar and smiled.

Seeing the smile on Jiang Ning's face, the scholar turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with terror.

The brutal killing in Jiangning just now terrified him.

Only now did he finally understand why the other party was called the King of Hell.

Only now did he realize how ridiculous it was that these people dared to threaten Jiang Ning. They couldn't even escape, let alone take the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual from Jiang Ning.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's question, the scholar replied tremblingly, "They're all over the martial arts world now."

Listening to the scholar explain the reason, Jiang Ning finally understood that since he announced in Luoyang that the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual was in his hands and that anyone who wanted it could come to him, he had caused a great uproar in the martial arts world. At the same time, his portrait had already been circulating in secret.

They learned of Jiang Ning's whereabouts from the villages they had passed through before they caught up with him and finally met him here.

Jiang Ning asked a few more questions, such as who else wanted to seize the sword manual, and whether the scholar knew where Black Wind was.

The scholar told him that many people in the martial arts world wanted to get the sword manual from him; they were neither the first nor the last.

Their original plan was to poison Jiang Ning and then obtain the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, but they failed.

As for the whereabouts of the Black Wind Society, the scholar said he didn't know.

After learning what had happened, Jiang Ning slapped him on the head.

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

The scholar began to beg for mercy, but before he could finish speaking, his body suddenly stiffened, a cracking sound came from the top of his head, and blood flowed down from his head.

Jiang Ning turned and left.

Wealth has always been a powerful motivator, and the same applies to secret manuals. Peerless secret manuals hold a fatal attraction for these people. Even though they know it will be extremely difficult to obtain the sword manual from Jiang Ning, and even though they know that the matter may be a hoax, they will still risk their lives to snatch the sword manual.

After killing these people, Jiang Ning left.

A few days later.

Jiangning has arrived at another large city.

"Jinan Prefecture".

Jiang Ning came here again.

The last time he came here was to cross out the people on the list given to him by Lin Pingzhi. Now he's here to inquire about the Black Wind Society.

Arriving in Jinan again, nothing had changed.

"What would you like to eat, sir?"

Jiang Ning entered a restaurant, where the waiter greeted him warmly.

After ordering a large number of dishes, Jiang Ning waited for them to be served in the main hall. The presence of many diners around indicated that the restaurant was very popular.

Not long after Jiang Ning sat down, several more people walked into the restaurant.

These men looked travel-worn and dressed differently from ordinary people. They all carried weapons on their backs, suggesting they were martial arts practitioners.

After entering the restaurant, the group called the waiter to order their food and then sat down in the main hall, where they began to chat.

"Hey, I heard that the three major underworld families, Hundred Flowers Valley, Flying Knife Sect, and Heavenly Cripple, have offered 800,000 taels of silver as a reward for Ning Yanwang's head, in order to get the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual from him."

One of them spoke up.

"Yes, it's hard to say who will win."

Another person chimed in.

"Your information is outdated."

At this point, other people in the lobby chimed in.

Judging from his attire, the person who spoke was also a martial arts practitioner.

"Oh?"

The group of people who were chatting turned around, and one of them asked, "What do you mean by that, brother?"

The man who spoke laughed and said, "What you're talking about is all in the past. You don't know, do you? The three major underworld families have already been wiped out."

"What? They were wiped out?"

The group was shocked and asked, "How could they have been wiped out? Who wiped them out? Was it Ning Yanwang?"

The man laughed and said, "It was Master Yue of the Huashan Sect who killed him."

"Breaking news from the martial arts world: Not long after the three major underworld families issued bounties, Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect, personally came to their door and wiped them all out, leaving not a single survivor."

Chapter 425: Then take me to see

The three major underworld families have offered a reward of 800,000 taels of silver for his head.

Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised to hear their conversation.

Why didn't he hear this news?

But what surprised him even more was that Yue Buqun had already wiped out the three major underworld families.

At that moment, the group of people started talking again.

"Was it Sect Leader Yue who made the move?"

Several people exclaimed in surprise.

One person said, "Sect Leader Yue's attack was so ruthless? Isn't he the Gentleman Sword? How could he be so vicious?"

"Hey."

The person who revealed this information chuckled coldly: "You should know that Ning Yanwang is a disciple of Master Yue, who is from the Huashan Sect. Who is Master Yue? He is the second-best righteous master of our time, with unfathomable martial arts skills. The three major underworld families actually put a bounty on his disciple, let alone an extremely outstanding disciple like Ning Yanwang. Do they really think his master is a pushover?"

Everyone clicked their tongues in amazement, but they were even more astonished at this moment.

"Sect Leader Yue's martial arts are unfathomable. He was able to wipe out the three major forces of Hundred Flowers Valley, Flying Knife Sect and Heavenly Crippled Sect all by himself."

Everyone was secretly alarmed.

"hey-hey."

The person who first spread the news sneered: "Although Master Yue has only made a handful of moves in his many years of wandering the martial world, he has taught a disciple like Ning Yanwang. How could his own martial arts skills be ordinary? Not to mention that two months ago on Mount Song, Master Yue defeated Ren Woxing, the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, and Zuo Lengchan. How could you and I possibly fathom the level of such a master?"

Everyone agreed.

"Tsk tsk."

Someone couldn't help but say, "The number one master of the righteous path right now is Abbot Fangzheng of Shaolin Temple, the second is Headmaster Yue of Huashan Sect, and the third is King Ning of Huashan Sect. Two of the top three masters of the righteous path are from Huashan Sect. Huashan Sect is really riding high right now."

Another person asked in confusion, "Wasn't Daoist Chongxu second? How did he suddenly become fourth?"
