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

Ren Yingying was unwilling, but she had no choice but to step down.

She didn't understand why the situation had changed to this point.

She couldn't understand why her father was so stubborn, unable to recognize the situation, and unwilling to back down.

"Someone come here!"

Ren Woxing shouted sharply, and two elders in yellow robes stepped forward.

"What are your orders, Master?"

Ren Woxing looked at the two men: "Elder Zhang, Elder Zhou, I hereby order you to lead two thousand followers to ambush the Wudang Sect."

Since the other side had not yet regrouped, he decided to strike first and deliver a heavy blow.

The two elders in yellow robes bowed and accepted the order.

"Understood."

After saying this, the two were about to leave, but Ren Woxing stopped them.

"and many more."

Ren Woxing pondered for a moment and then ordered, "The strength of the Wudang Sect should not be underestimated. Also, send the Five Poisons Sect with you."

After Lan Fenghuang's death, the Five Poisons Sect fell into chaos as everyone vied for the position of sect leader. Ren Woxing used harsh methods to purge the Five Poisons Sect and later supported a male Miao person to take the position of sect leader, which temporarily stabilized the Five Poisons Sect.

Among the crowd stood a Miao person, who stepped forward and bowed in the Miao etiquette.

"Yes, Master."

Upon seeing the Miao man, Ren Yingying's eyes revealed a hint of displeasure.

Ever since Ren Woxing supported that Miao person to become the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, she has lost control of the sect. The current leader of the Five Poisons Sect directly obeys Ren Woxing and doesn't even listen to her orders.

Upon hearing that the Five Poisons Sect would also intervene, the two yellow-robed elders revealed a hint of joy in their eyes.

Ren Woxing waved his hand, and the two yellow-robed elders and the Miao man left.

"Sang Sanniang."

Ren Woxing continued to give orders.

A woman stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"Your subordinate is here."

Ren Woxing looked at her: "I, the leader of this sect, order you to lead the brothers of Dongmu Hall to ambush and kill those ungrateful Jianghu people near Luzhou Prefecture."

Ren Woxing's plan was simple: since these so-called righteous people wanted to fight him to the death, he would strike first, intercept and kill them before they could gather, make them understand that there was a price to pay for opposing the Divine Cult, and then use this to intimidate the rest of the martial arts practitioners who had not yet arrived.

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys."

Sang San Niang accepted the order and withdrew.

After making the arrangements, Ren Woxing looked at everyone.

"Brothers."

Ren Woxing said, "I know that some recent news has made you uneasy, but you can rest assured that our Divine Sect will win this battle."

As soon as Ren Woxing finished speaking, someone immediately echoed his words.

"The Divine Religion will surely prevail!"

The others realized what was happening and quickly shouted as well.

"Victory is certain! Victory is certain!"

For a moment, the voices of the people in the room rose high, as if victory was truly assured.

Ren Woxing raised his hand, and everyone immediately fell silent; the room was completely quiet.

"As for the imperial court..."

Ren Woxing slowly said, "The world is in turmoil. The current dynasty is doomed. Corrupt officials are rampant, and most of the soldiers are just loafing around waiting to die. The court has long been unable to control the prefectures and counties, and the imperial edicts it issues are nothing but a piece of waste paper. I, the leader of this sect, have long wanted to make a difference. Starting from Wuwei Prefecture, I will overthrow this corrupt Ming Dynasty. When I ascend the throne, you brothers will be credited for supporting the emperor, and being ennobled and appointed as prime ministers will be a given."

Ren Woxing spoke of lofty ambitions, but the expressions of the people who heard it varied; they were not very happy, and some even felt bitter.

To be honest, most of the people present did not expect things to come to this. They did indeed disdain dealing with the imperial court, but that did not mean they wanted to rebel!

Now that Ren Woxing has openly declared his intention to rebel, most people are somewhat alarmed. Among them, many of the martial arts practitioners who have been subdued by Ren Yingying secretly look at her, hoping that she will say something.

But at this moment, Ren Yingying's face was expressionless, and she did not utter a single word.

"All right."

Ren Woxing said, "That concludes today's meeting. You may all go and prepare for battle."

"Yes, Master."

Everyone bowed and left, even Ren Yingying left. In just a moment, only Ren Woxing remained in the room.

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng walked a distance and saw that no one was around. His expression finally relaxed, and he revealed a worried look.

"No, we must tell Sect Leader Yue and the others about Ren Woxing's plan."

Liu Zhengfeng murmured.

Having made his decision, Liu Zhengfeng hurriedly left.

Not far away, a figure was silently watching him.

"Brother Liu..."

Qu Yang muttered to himself.

……

Two days later.

Jiang Ning frowned and found Yue Buqun.

"Master."

At this moment, Yue Buqun was reviewing the intelligence sent by Ji Wushi.

The intelligence report stated that Ren Woxing had taken control of Wuwei Prefecture, and it also clearly detailed the personnel arrangements of Ren Woxing, including who was stationed where.

"what happened?"

Seeing that his disciple's expression was not quite right, Yue Buqun put down what he was doing and asked him.

Jiang Ning said solemnly, "This disciple has received a message from Martial Uncle Liu."

"Liu Zhengfeng?"

Yue Buqun was surprised, and then gestured for Jiang Ning to continue.

"What news?"

"Ren Woxing sent two thousand men to ambush them."

Yue Buqun stood up abruptly.

When did this happen?

"The order was given the day before yesterday; they must have already taken action."

"Hi~"

Yue Buqun took a light breath.

"I just received a letter from Daoist Chongxu. He has led the Wudang Sect and is almost at Luzhou Prefecture. They will arrive in a few days at most. Where is the Demonic Sect lying in ambush?"

Jiang Ning was prepared and took out a topographical map to show Yue Buqun.

"Before I came here, I obtained a topographical map of Luzhou Prefecture from the prefect. Master, please take a look."

Jiang Ning pointed to the three locations above.

“These three places are all very suitable for an ambush, but the other two are too close to Luzhou Prefecture, only about twenty miles away. The Demonic Sect will not set up an ambush in these two places.”

The two locations Jiang Ning just pointed out are too close to Luzhou Prefecture. Yue Buqun and the group of Jianghu people who came to suppress the demons are all in Luzhou Prefecture. If the people Ren Woxing sent cannot destroy the Wudang Sect in a short time, then the people in Luzhou Prefecture will definitely come to their aid. In that case, the ambush will not succeed but will turn into a big battle.

"The Demonic Cult will most likely be lying in ambush here."

Jiang Ning pointed to a place, and Yue Buqun looked in that direction.

"Purple Mountain?"

"good."

Jiang Ning nodded.

“This mountain is densely vegetated, and the official road passes through the valleys. If we send people to ambush on the ridges on both sides of this place in advance, and set up rolling stone traps on the top of the mountain, the Wudang Sect will suffer heavy casualties if they are not careful when they pass through here. This is also the most suitable place for the Demonic Sect to ambush.”

Yue Buqun frowned upon hearing this.

“You’re right, this place is indeed suitable for an ambush. In that case, the situation is urgent and we must send someone to this place to provide assistance immediately.”

Jiang Ning immediately replied.

"Master, I'll go now."

Chapter 692: Reaching the Narrow Gorge

"You go?"

Yue Buqun pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright."

Ren Woxing dispatched thousands of followers, whose strength should not be underestimated. It is indeed necessary to send someone with high martial prowess and ability, and Jiang Ning fits the bill perfectly.

"Ning'er, there is no time to lose. You should immediately lead five hundred disciples of the Weiyi Alliance and gather a thousand righteous warriors to Zifeng Mountain to aid the Wudang Sect. I will have you appointed as your Uncle-Master, and Chong'er will go with you. They will all follow your command."

Yue Buqun said.

"Yes, Master."

Jiang Ning cupped his hands in farewell, preparing to take his leave, but was stopped by Yue Buqun.

"and many more."
