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

The others explained, "Although Master Chongxu is the head of Wudang Sect and a senior figure in the martial arts world, he has no record of actually fighting. On the other hand, Master Yue of Huashan Sect personally defeated Ren Woxing and Zuo Lengchan. As for Ning Yanwang, needless to say, how many evil and underworld figures have died at his hands since he debuted? Countless people, both famous and unknown, have died at his hands. On Mount Song, he forced Xiang Wentian, the Left Envoy of the Sun Moon Sect, to cut off his own arm to save his life. In the end, he even killed Zuo Lengchan on the Fengchan Platform. Isn't that enough of a record?"

In the martial arts world, strength speaks volumes. In the past, Chongxu was ranked behind Fangzheng not only because of his own martial arts skills, but also because he was the leader of Wudang. Now that Yue Buqun has demonstrated profound martial arts skills, and Jiang Ning even more so, and Chongxu has no substantial achievements, it is natural that he has been ranked lower.

"I think the Huashan Sect is likely to return to its former glory of decades ago."

Someone said.

With the Huashan Sect now possessing the unfathomable martial arts of its leader Yue Buqun and the likes of Ning Yanwang among its younger generation, its strength is inevitable.

"Do you think it's too late for me to go to Mount Hua to become an apprentice now?"

Someone had a ulterior motive.

Given the current momentum of the Huashan Sect, if you go to become an apprentice of the Huashan Sect now, you might be able to become a senior member in the future.

"Don't think about it."

Some people laughed at the person who had just spoken.

"Last year, the Huashan Sect recruited disciples again in Shaanxi Province. They recruited more than sixty children. They had requirements: only children with a clean background and good character were accepted. No one with any martial arts skills was allowed to become a disciple."

Upon hearing this news, those who shared the same thought couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Jiang Ning, who was sitting not far from them, withdrew his attention.

His dishes were served too.

After finishing his meal, Jiang Ning found an inn to stay for the night.

……

The next day.

After a night's rest, Jiang Ning went out early.

Walking down the street, Jiang Ning didn't just grab anyone and ask if Hei Feng was there. That would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, which would be time-consuming and laborious.

He has his own way of doing things.

……

"what?"

A sleazy-looking young man brushed past Jiang Ning on the street, then suddenly noticed something and turned to look at Jiang Ning's waist.

A purse hung from Jiang Ning's waist; the purse was quite bulging, as if it contained a lot of silver.

The young man's eyes shone brightly.

Seeing that Jiang Ning was dressed in an extraordinary manner, like a rich young man, the young man looked around and, noticing that no servants were following Jiang Ning, he turned his eyes and followed after him.

The young man followed Jiang Ning furtively, seemingly unaware of his presence.

The young man drew closer and closer to Jiang Ning, and was about to reach out and touch her waist.

Some passersby hurried away upon seeing this, as if they hadn't seen anything. Some wanted to warn Jiang Ning, but were all frightened away by the young man's fierce gaze.

The young man's hand was almost touching the purse, but Jiang Ning remained oblivious.

A look of delight appeared in the young man's eyes.

They've run into a fool; he's about to strike it rich.

Just as the young man was about to succeed, Jiang Ning suddenly turned around and changed direction, walking towards the alley to the side. The young man reached out and grabbed nothing.

The young man was about to get angry, but his eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Ning enter the alley.

On the main street, he would only dare to act furtively, but if he entered an alley and no one else was watching, he could rob without restraint.

Judging from Jiang Ning's clothes, he must have a lot of valuable things.

Thinking of this, the young man felt even more excited and quickly followed into the alley.

The alley was quiet, with hardly anyone passing by, except for Jiang Ning and the young man walking one after the other.

Once they were deep inside the alley, the young man finally couldn't hold back any longer. He pulled out a dagger from behind him, strode forward, stepped past Jiang Ning, and blocked Jiang Ning's path, speaking sharply.

"Hand over everything of value that you have on you!"

The gleaming dagger swayed back and forth in front of Jiang Ning, but the young man did not see any panic or fear on his face. Instead, he smiled.

Upon seeing this, the young man's expression hardened even more, and he began to shout insults.

"What are you laughing at! Quickly hand over all your valuables, or your life will be in danger!"

Seeing that Jiang Ning still didn't make a move, the young man cursed.

"Damn it, they won't shed a tear until they see the coffin."

After saying that, the young man raised his dagger, ready to teach Jiang Ning a lesson. However, before he could stab him, Jiang Ning had already grabbed his wrist.

The young man was startled and struggled to get up, but Jiang Ning held his hand firmly.

Jiang Ning exerted a little force, and the young man immediately screamed in agony.

"what!!"

The young man screamed in agony, feeling as if his wrist was about to break.

"Let go! Do you know who I am? You dare touch me? I'm from the Money Gang."

"Oh?"

Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"The Money Gang? Are they that powerful?"

"That's natural."

The young man was sweating profusely and said, "Our gang is a well-known gang in Jinan Prefecture. If you dare to touch me, our gang leader will not let you off!"

Jiang Ning laughed.

"Really? Then take me to your gang."

Chapter 426: Are you looking for me?

"what?"

The young man thought he had misheard.

Even though he revealed his gang's name, the other party wasn't afraid at all and even wanted to visit his gang.

Is he going shopping?

The young man had never seen such an arrogant person.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

The young man cried out in pain.

Jiang Ning released his grip, and the young man quickly pulled his hand back, rubbing his wrist vigorously and grimacing as he cried out.

Looking at Jiang Ning, the young man did not try to run away. He knew that Jiang Ning was someone he could not afford to offend. If he ran away, he probably wouldn't be able to escape. The only option was to take him back to the gang.

"You...you'll regret this!"

The young man endured the pain and uttered harsh words.

Jiang Ning laughed upon hearing this.

He brought this large bag of silver with him, intending to go fishing, and the young man took the bait.

This young man is dishonest and has a gang behind him. Judging from his appearance, the Money Gang is probably not a good gang either. Gangs like this should know about the Black Wind Society. Asking these people would be much easier.

The young man endured the pain and led the way for Jiang Ning, glancing back at Jiang Ning every now and then to see if he was following and to observe his expression.

But along the way, he noticed that Jiang Ning did not flinch and just followed behind without showing any fear on his face.

They won't shed tears until they see the coffin.

The young man thought to himself.

Once you get there, you'll see how powerful our money is.

The young man said bitterly.

The two walked through several streets and alleys before finally arriving at a place.

"arrive."

The young man pointed to the distance and said.

Ahead is the headquarters of a gang, the one the young man called the Money Gang.

"It's not too late for you to regret it now."

Having reached the vicinity of the encampment, the young man hardened up and snorted coldly.

He wasn't saying this to persuade Jiang Ning to back down, but rather to provoke him so that Jiang Ning might back down and leave.

Jiang Ning glanced at him.

"Go in."

The young man was secretly delighted, but at the same time, he sneered inwardly.

Let's see if you can still maintain this appearance after you enter the headquarters of my Money Gang.

"stop!"

Upon reaching the door, several gang members stopped the two.

"Brothers, I'm under Master Wang's command, we're all on the same side."

The young man smiled obsequiously and took out a copper coin.

That copper coin was somewhat unusual in design, unlike ordinary copper coins; it was likely a token of the Money Gang.

One of the gang members took the copper coin, examined it, gave the young man a cold look, then returned it and pointed behind him.

"And who is he? What are you doing bringing him here?"

The young man quickly replied, "I don't know him. He's the one who wanted to come to our Money Gang."
