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

……

The conversation echoed in his mind, but the Azure Lotus Envoy's face grew paler and paler.

father.

Ning Yanwang has really come looking for trouble with my Beggars' Sect.

Jiang Ning did not respond to Xu's words, nor would he answer the words of a dead man.

Jiang Ning looked back at the children.

"You all go out first."

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the children all went outside the gate.

Although Xu, the leader of the gang, and others witnessed this scene, none of them dared to make a move due to Jiang Ning's fearsome reputation, and could only watch helplessly as he did so.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Pingzhi, who was not far away, immediately took the child he had rescued during the day and went over.

"Senior brother."

Lin Pingzhi said something.

Jiang Ning said to Lin Pingzhi, "Take good care of them."

After speaking, Jiang Ning looked at the children again.

At this moment, all the children looked up at him without saying a word.

"Wait for me to come out."

Jiang Ning said something to them, then closed the door of the Beggars' Sect branch.

boom!

The door was closed.

Jiang Ning turned to look at the Qinglian Envoy, Chief Xu, and the others. His face had returned to calm, but this did not mean that he had calmed down.

His anger burned within him, and the calmer his face appeared, the more intense his rage became.

Chapter 498: Slaughter and Devastation

"Does your Huashan Sect want to be enemies with my Beggars' Sect?!"

Upon seeing Jiang Ning close the gate, Chief Xu and the others felt a tremor in their hearts, and Chief Xu couldn't help but ask.

Although I had heard of Jiangning's reputation before, it was only when I actually saw it in reality, especially when I was on the opposite side, that I could feel the pressure.

The palms of Chief Xu and the others were sweating.

Jiang Ning glanced at the group of people and drew his sword.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning's action, the Beggars' Sect members opposite him instinctively took a step back, but Linghu Chong was very excited.

call out!

Jiangning has made a move.

Seeing this, Linghu Chong drew his sword again and charged forward.

"kill!"

"There's no way to resolve this peacefully," Chief Xu and the others gritted their teeth and shouted.

It's impossible for them to be scared away without even fighting. No matter how famous they are, Chief Xu will only know after he's fought them.

Upon hearing Chief Xu's words, the Beggars' Sect disciples shouted and charged forward.

The two sides quickly approached each other.

Jiang Ning was even faster, his figure moving like a blur, and he plunged headfirst into the crowd of Beggars' Sect members.

call out!

Jiang Ning slashed horizontally with his sword, the sword energy slicing out and sending several people flying, their blood splattering in the air.

Jiang Ning continued his charge, grabbing a Beggar Clan disciple by the cheek with his five fingers, lifting him up, and repeatedly slamming him against others.

Jiang Ning rampaged through the crowd, amidst screams of agony. Beggar Clan disciples were frequently sent flying into the air, only to be torn apart by sword energy, their blood and organs raining down like a bloody downpour, soaking many of them.

This scene was like hell on earth.

At that moment, a piece of filth hit a man's face. The Beggar Clan disciple picked it up and saw that it was human internal organs, and immediately let out a terrified scream.

"what!!!"

Such voices were heard in more than one place. As these Beggar Clan disciples watched Jiang Ning slaughter the crowd, with blood raining down from the sky, their fear was amplified infinitely. They had only been fighting Jiang Ning for a short time, and their morale was already on the verge of being crushed.

Compared to the bloody, hellish scenes in Jiangning, Linghu Chong's side was slightly better, at least there weren't any exaggerated scenes like blood rain.

Linghu Chong weaved through the crowd, his sword flashing up and down, each strike taking a life, each person dying with a single blow. Linghu Chong's killing speed was no slower than Jiang Ning's.

Seeing the two wreaking havoc in their branch, Chief Xu and other high-ranking members of the Beggars' Sect couldn't sit still any longer and took action.

call out!

Chief Xu swung his baton and charged towards Jiang Ning.

At this moment, the veins on his arms bulged, and he wielded the dog-beating stick with great force.

"Don't you dare cause trouble in my Beggars' Sect!"

Chief Xu roared, his eyes wide with fury, his hair and beard bristling, displaying the demeanor of a master.

Jiang Ning glanced at it and casually swung his sword, unleashing a burst of sword energy.

boom!

The sword energy grazed the staff in Chief Xu's hand, breaking it in two in the blink of an eye. The sword energy continued to graze, and Chief Xu was instantly dismembered.

"?"

The other high-ranking members of the Beggars' Sect branch who witnessed this scene stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Is this outrageous?

It should be understood that although second-rate masters are not as skilled as first-rate masters, the difference is generally not this great. Even if they are not as good as first-rate masters, they are not completely powerless to fight back.

Xu, a second-rate top-tier expert, was killed so easily by the opponent with a single sword strike, like a chicken being slaughtered. He was treated like a clay chicken or a dog.

Jiang Ning's move completely blew them away.

They finally understood the true value of being the third strongest in the righteous path, and why Jiang Ning was able to surpass many veteran masters of the righteous path to become the third strongest.

The other high-ranking officials turned and ran immediately, and even the Azure Lotus Envoy did not stop at all.

Although they outnumbered each other, their numbers clearly did not affect their quality. Jiang Ning could not be worn down by them. Seeing that the situation was not good, these people ran away immediately.

Linghu Chong's internal strength is not very profound at present, but he has the Dugu Nine Swords by his side. If we really count, his strength in the orthodox path is only below Chongxu. These Beggar Clan disciples have no power to resist under the joint attack of Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong. At this moment, they have been scared out of their wits and are scattering and fleeing in all directions, causing great chaos.

"Run, run!"

These Beggars' Sect disciples fled one after another, with several running towards the gate.

Jiang Ning flicked his sword, and the sword energy swept out, instantly dismembering the men.

Looking at the people who had already fled, Jiang Ning continued his pursuit, glanced at a willow tree not far away, and leaped onto it.

Splash!

The wind blew, and the willow leaves rustled.

Jiang Ning grabbed a handful of willow leaves, channeled his inner strength, and threw them. The willow leaves flew towards many Beggar Clan disciples.

puff!puff!puff!

The willow leaves made muffled thuds as they entered the body. The once soft willow leaves had now become deadly weapons, and one by one, the Beggar Clan disciples fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Jiang Ning grabbed four or five handfuls of willow leaves and threw them, killing countless Beggar Clan disciples before jumping down to continue the pursuit.

Linghu Chong's side was also relentlessly pursuing them.

Jiang Ning chased after the pursuer while keeping an eye on his target in the crowd. He found his target after only a few glances and headed straight for a young man.

The fleeing Qinglian envoy heard screams coming from behind him, and the screams were getting closer and closer. He couldn't help but turn around. Just one glance made his face turn green with fright, and he ran even faster. But Jiang Ning was faster than him. He caught up with him in a few leaps and kicked him in the back.

puff!

The Azure Lotus Envoy was kicked forward and fell face-first, writhing in pain in his chest and back, and coughing up a mouthful of blood.

He turned around with difficulty and found Jiang Ning already in front of him.

"No...don't kill me."

Seeing the undisguised coldness in Jiang Ning's eyes, the Qinglian envoy couldn't help but beg for mercy.

Jiang Ning looked at him but did not immediately kill him.

Just now, Chief Xu referred to this young man as an envoy, and judging from his attitude, this person must be a high-ranking member of the Beggars' Sect.

"Are you also a high-ranking member of this Beggars' Sect branch?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the Qinglian envoy, who was begging for mercy, quickly shook his head: "I am a member of the Beggars' Sect, but I have only come to Yanping Prefecture to collect the revenue of the Yanping branch from last year."

"Revenue?"

Jiang Ning noticed this term and asked, "What revenue?"

Upon hearing this, the Qinglian envoy froze, his mind racing to find the right words. But seeing Jiang Ning raise his sword, he stammered in alarm, "It's about human trafficking and...and..."

Human trafficking?

Jiang Ning frowned and asked, "What kind of people are you trafficking?"

Linghu Chong has already gone to hunt down those Beggar Clan disciples, so Jiang Ning is questioning them here.

At this moment, the Qinglian envoy was already frightened by Jiang Ning and dared not hide anything, saying, "We sell women and children to high-ranking officials and brothels."

Explain in more detail.

"Yes Yes."

Next, the Qinglian envoy recounted in detail how they had done these things.
