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

"Isn't Shan'er going to marry Chong'er? This is the wedding dress I embroidered for Shan'er. Once Shan'er's is ready, Chong'er's will be ready too."

Yue Buqun laughed upon hearing this.

"Chong'er and Shan'er's wedding date hasn't been set yet, but you're in such a hurry to send your daughter away?"

Ning Zhongze rolled her eyes: "What do you mean by sending our daughter away? Even if Shan'er gets married, she's still our daughter. Besides, Chong'er is your disciple. We're all family."

"Yes, yes, my wife is right."

Yue Buqun did not argue, but instead smiled and agreed.

"loquacious."

Ning Zhongze retorted angrily.

In the past, Yue Buqun was a very disciplined person and would never say such things, but for some reason, now Yue Buqun seems to have become enlightened and is no longer as serious as before, and often jokes with her.

"But speaking of which, Chong'er is indeed not young anymore."

After the banter, Yue Buqun said, "It's time to settle down and start a family."

"I should have settled down a long time ago."

Ning Zhongze said, "In an ordinary family, Chong'er would already have children by now."

"People from the martial arts world are ultimately different from ordinary people."

Yue Buqun said, "Besides, the reason I didn't betroth Shan'er to him before was because Chong'er was unruly. Now I have seen his growth and keep it in mind, so I can naturally entrust my daughter to him with peace of mind."

Ning Zhongze glanced at him sideways.

"So you've already decided when to have Chong'er and Shan'er get married?"

"Ah."

Yue Buqun nodded.

"We can discuss the wedding date when Ning'er comes back."

As the heir of the Huashan Sect, Jiang Ning naturally had to attend Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan's wedding. Otherwise, if the wedding date was set but Jiang Ning was still traveling outside, that wouldn't do.

Ning Zhongze couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.

"Oh, right."

Yue Buqun seemed to have thought of something and said, "The Beggars' Sect and Ren Woxing are fighting fiercely outside, and even Shaolin has joined in. Although this struggle has nothing to do with us, it is the best time to clean up the Demonic Sect."

After joining Shaolin last time, Ren Woxing did not continue to fight the Beggars' Sect head-on. Instead, he chose to play a cat-and-mouse game, gradually eroding the Beggars' Sect's branches. Now, the Beggars' Sect has suffered severe losses and can be said to be greatly weakened.

On the other hand, Ren Woxing's side also suffered losses, but not as severe as the Beggars' Sect's side.

Ning Zhongze looked at Yue Buqun and said, "What do you mean?"

Yue Buqun said, "In the past, when the Five Mountains Sword Sect still existed, we were always fighting against the Demonic Sect while Shaolin watched from the sidelines. Now that the Beggar Clan and Ren Woxing are fighting, Shaolin has also joined in. Now is the best time."

The Demonic Sect split, and Shaolin Temple also got involved, a rare occurrence. The two sides fought fiercely, an opportunity that was once in a lifetime. Although the Huashan Sect had grudges against both sides and was happy to see them fight each other, Yue Buqun knew which was more important.

Given Yue Buqun's understanding of Shaolin, this fierce battle wouldn't last long, and Fang Zheng would definitely try to stop it.

This is a rare opportunity for Shaolin to step into the fray, and Yue Buqun will not let this chance slip by, nor will he allow the other side to have their way.

"Now that the Beggars' Sect, Shaolin Temple, and Ren Woxing are fighting, both sides have suffered heavy losses. If the Weiyi Alliance takes action at this time, it will not only enhance the Weiyi Alliance's prestige in the martial arts world, but more importantly, it is the best opportunity to wipe out the Demonic Sect."

Yue Buqun was very good at seizing opportunities. If the Weiyi Alliance entered the fray too early, Shaolin would not have to exert too much effort, and the Beggars' Sect would not have suffered such great losses. However, if they entered the fray too late, Shaolin would probably have already withdrawn, and if the Weiyi Alliance entered the fray then, they would be drawn into the battle. Yue Buqun chose to enter the fray when both sides were fighting fiercely.

Moreover, Yue Buqun is not afraid of being criticized, and people in the martial arts world will not say anything about him. After all, the Huashan Sect and the Beggar Clan have a long-standing feud, and it is already more than enough that they have helped him.

If the Weiyi Alliance gets involved, Shaolin will have no way to back down and will have no choice but to bite the bullet and fight.

It's easy for you to leave the game, but you can't control how you get out of it.

Chapter 671: Zhenwu Temple

Hearing her husband's plan, Ning Zhongze didn't say much, only that...

“I won’t think about these deeper things, but no matter what, I will always believe in you.”

Hearing his wife's words, even after decades of marriage, Yue Buqun's heart still trembled.

"I will now write to the three leaders of Mount Emei, Mount Heng, and Mount Tai."

Since learning that Ren Woxing had begun to target the righteous sects, Master Mo Da, who had been sent to Mount Hua, had not yet left, which saved him the trouble of writing letters. After Yue Buqun explained his plan to Master Mo Da, Master Mo Da pondered for a moment.

"What the leader said makes perfect sense."

Master Mo said, "Now is indeed the best time to wipe out the Demonic Sect."

Although they didn't have a good relationship with the Beggars' Sect, and were secretly opposed to Shaolin, they all had a common enemy, the Demonic Sect, at least on the surface.

Mr. Mo agreed with Yue Buqun's idea.

"Since Mr. Mo agrees, I, Yue, will immediately write to the other three sect leaders."

Yue Buqun did not delay and immediately wrote letters to Abbess Qingzhu, Abbess Dingxian, and Taoist Tianmen. He also sent letters to Wudang, Kunlun, and other sects.

Since the goal is to eradicate the demonic sect, these sects should also join in, and Yue Buqun believes that these sects will not refuse.

Yue Buqun was preparing for a major undertaking. Several days after sending the letter, before receiving replies from the leaders of various sects, Jiang Ning's letter arrived first.

"Sect Leader Yue, this is a letter from Hero Jiang to Sect Leader Yue."

Lobby.

A man respectfully addressed Yue Buqun, presenting Jiang Ning's letter with both hands.

Yue Buqun looked at the man and suddenly said, "This brother seems somewhat familiar. May I ask your name?"

Upon hearing this, the visitor replied, "I dare not accept the title of 'brother.' My name is Luo Ding. Last time, I was the one who went to Mount Hua to invite Master Jiang to the capital to treat His Majesty."

Before leaving the capital, Zhu Houzhao instructed Yue Buqun not to hide anything when he met him, and to answer whatever Yue asked.

Yue Buqun nodded, took the envelope from the other party, opened it, and carefully examined the contents.

After reading the letter, Yue Buqun said to Luo Ding, "Commander Luo, are you in a hurry to return to the capital? If not, please stay at Mount Hua for a couple more days. I have another letter to send to you, Commander Luo."

Upon hearing this, Luo Ding quickly replied, "I will follow Sect Leader Yue's arrangements."

Last time, he invited Jiang Ning back to the capital in just a few days to save Zhu Houzhao. In addition, Jiang Ning mentioned him to Zhu Houzhao, which led to his promotion from the position of general to the position of commander of a thousand households. He was promoted several ranks in one go and was highly valued by Zhu Houzhao. Luo Ding was very grateful to Jiang Ning and naturally respected the other party's master very much.

Yue Buqun nodded and told Linghu Chong to take the other party down to rest. He then summoned Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou, and Ning Zhongze.

"Sect Leader, what brings you here?"

Inside the main hall, Feng Buping asked.

Cheng Buyou and Ning Zhongze also looked at Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun had previously told them to prepare for a major battle against the Demonic Sect, and Feng Buping and the other man had been practicing their skills diligently during this time.

Yue Buqun paused for a moment, organizing his thoughts, before saying, "Indeed, there is something I need to tell you. Do you know why Ning'er went down the mountain before?"

Cheng Buyou said, "Didn't you say that one of my nephew Jiang Ning's friends was sick and he went to treat him?"

"That's right, but his friend's identity is unusual."

Yue Buqun said.

"His friend is the current emperor. Some time ago, the emperor fell ill and was poisoned, so he sought his help, which is why Jiang Ning went to the capital."

"what?"

"emperor?"

Feng Buping was astonished, as were Cheng Buyou and Ning Zhongze.

Jiang Ning actually knows the emperor? And then the emperor came to him for help?

Yue Buqun waited for a while, and seeing that the three of them had calmed down and accepted the fact, he continued.

"This matter was originally a secret, and no one else knew about it except for Ning'er and me, but Ning'er sent a letter back, and I need to tell you what happened next."

After a brief explanation, Yue Buqun said, "Ning'er said in her letter that the emperor is currently without any skilled guards and has encountered several dangers. He urgently needs close bodyguards, so she asked Ning'er to reply and see if there are any skilled guards in our sect who are willing to come to the capital to protect the emperor's safety. That's why I called you here to discuss this."

After Yue Buqun finished speaking, he looked at the others and asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Feng Buping and Cheng Buyou remained silent for a while.

Although Yue Buqun asked three questions, they actually knew he was asking the two of them.

After careful consideration, Feng Buping asked, "May I ask, Senior Brother Sect Leader, has the Emperor ordered any number of people to come to the capital?"

Yue Buqun shook his head: "No, the more the better."

Feng Buping fell silent again, clearly deep in thought.

Cheng Buyou glanced at Feng Buping from time to time, but did not say anything.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Yue Buqun said, "My two junior brothers, this matter is not mandatory. If you are unwilling, then so be it."

Yue Buqun feared that the two would think he was ostracizing them and squeezing them out of the Huashan Sect.

"Now that the emperor trusts his nephew Jiang Ning and the Huashan Sect, this matter is related to the rise of our Huashan Sect, and my fellow disciples and I have an inescapable responsibility."

Feng Buping stood up and said.

Cheng Buyou also stood up and said, "We are willing to go to the capital to protect the emperor."

"We just don't know when we will set off for the capital."

Feng Buping said.

Yue Buqun already had a plan in mind, and upon hearing this, he said, "Let's talk about this later. Ning'er said that the Emperor is protected by the Dragon Guard Clan, so his safety is not a problem for the time being. What's more important for us right now is to eradicate the Demonic Sect."

Next, Yue Buqun was preparing to join forces with the righteous path to wipe out the demonic sect. Feng Buping and Cheng Buyou naturally couldn't leave and would only go to the capital after the demonic sect was wiped out.

Upon hearing this, Feng Buping and Cheng Buyou breathed a sigh of relief.

These past few days they have been preparing for a major battle against the Demonic Sect. Feng Buping and his companion did not want to leave Mount Hua before the battle began, and Yue Buqun's actions suited their purposes perfectly.

"Thank you for your hard work, my two junior brothers."

Yue Buqun cupped his hands in greeting.

Feng Buping and Cheng Buyou quickly returned the greeting.
