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

Jiang Ning sheathed his sword and turned around. At this moment, the cave was filled with corpses.

"Ning Yanwang, it's all been cleaned up."

A shirtless man spoke to Jiang Ning, his knife now stained with blood.

Jiang Ning nodded and looked at everyone.

"Thank you all for your hard work."

Everyone quickly replied.

"Where."

"It is our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path."

“If it weren’t for King Ning, our brothers would have been injured or killed. It should be King Ning who has suffered the hardship.”

"Yeah yeah."

Everyone chimed in.

They had witnessed Jiang Ning's formidable power during the battle just now; if it weren't for Jiang Ning, many of them would have died.

At this moment, the giant python straightened up at the front and sneezed, its enormous body appearing somewhat crowded in the cave.

A hint of fear lingered in everyone's eyes as they looked at it.

The giant python rampaging through the cave during the battle was quite a shock. If they hadn't been certain that the python was friendly, they would have wanted to run away as well.

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Ning addressed the crowd.

By now, all the members of the Demonic Cult hidden in these dozen or so scattered caves have been cleared out, leaving only the cave containing thousands of Demonic Cult members, which awaits Yue Buqun to lead the main force to wipe out.

Jiang Ning led everyone back to their original spot, whereupon someone reported that they had captured three disguised members of the Demonic Cult.

“Ning Yanwang, it’s these three. They intend to disguise themselves as the three brothers who haven’t returned and lure Alliance Leader Yue into their ambush.”

The men who captured the three brought them to Jiang Ning to report the intelligence.

Jiang Ning frowned upon hearing this.

According to these three men, they not only had thousands of soldiers hidden in Yinping Mountain, but also thousands more members of the Demonic Cult had set up an ambush after they passed Yinping Mountain, waiting for them to take the bait. At that time, all the members of the Demonic Cult hidden in the Yinping Mountain cave complex would come out to surround them from the front and back, and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"King Yama, please don't kill us."

"We know we were wrong, but we were forced into this situation."

The three men knew Jiang Ning's identity and begged for mercy from him.

Jiang Ning ignored their pleas for mercy and pondered a solution.

Just then, shouts rang out from not far away.

Jiang Ning turned his head and saw Yue Buqun leading a large group of people.

"Ning'er".

The person arrived before the voice.

Yue Buqun strode quickly to Jiang Ning's side.

"Ning'er, did you hear from Mr. Ji that the cave system in Yinping Mountain really harbors members of the Demonic Cult?"

"That's right, Master."

Putting aside his thoughts, Jiang Ning answered Yue Buqun's question and also told Yue Buqun the information provided by the three men.

Yue Buqun frowned upon hearing this.

Fortunately, they were cautious enough, otherwise they might have suffered heavy losses.

"Alliance Leader, let's make our move!"

Knowing that many members of the Demonic Cult were hiding in the Yinping Mountain cave, Tianmen Daoist couldn't resist the urge to take action.

"We'll split our forces to clear out those caves, then combine our forces to storm this cave and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

Upon hearing Tianmen Daoist's words, Jiang Ning said, "Uncle Tianmen, the demonic sects in those dozen or so caves have been completely wiped out."

"Oh?"

Yue Buqun was surprised. Only then did he realize that Jiang Ning had already begun clearing out the dozen or so caves, leaving only the cave in front of him that contained thousands of members of the Demonic Cult.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's attack!"

Without saying a word, Tianmen Daoist was about to kill him, but before Yue Buqun could speak, Ji Wushi spoke first.

"Tianmen Daoist, please wait."

After Ji Wushi stopped Tianmen Daoist, he looked at Yue Buqun.

"Alliance Leader Yue, I have a plan."

Chapter 708: Blocking the Hole

Yue Buqun looked at Ji Wushi.

"Mr. Ji, please speak."

It was Ji Wushi's suggestion that allowed them to detect the hidden dangers at Yinping Mountain in advance, thus preventing them from suffering heavy casualties. Yue Buqun valued his opinion highly.

Ji Wushi pondered for a moment and said, "Now that the demonic sects hiding in other caves have been wiped out by Hero Jiang, only a few thousand demonic sects remain in this cave. Why don't we trap them like turtles in a jar?"

"Catching a turtle in a jar?"

"How do you catch a turtle in a jar?"

Upon hearing this, everyone asked questions.

"Instead of charging straight in, we should block these seven entrances and exits..."

Ji Wushi's plan was simple: these thousands of demonic cult members were all inside the cave. If they were to charge straight in, they would surely win with their numbers and expertise, but there would also be many casualties. It would be better to block the cave entrance and kill them inside.

Everyone fell into deep thought upon hearing this. Tianmen Daoist raised a question: "But even if we trap them inside the cave, how can we kill them? If they don't come out, then we can't..."

Ji Wushi smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"As long as the entrance to the cave is blocked, there are many ways to deal with it. We can use fire, smoke, and other methods. If all else fails, we can block them for a few days and cut off their food supplies. This will surely cause chaos among them."

Ji Wushi's solution left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment, but they all thought it was a good idea.

After pondering for a moment, Yue Buqun said to everyone, "Since that's the case, then let's proceed according to Mr. Ji's plan. We will divide our forces into seven groups to block these seven cave entrances and trap these evil cultists inside."

At this moment, Chongxu stepped forward.

"Alliance Leader Yue, I have a suggestion."

"Please speak, Taoist priest."

Chongxu said, “Mr. Ji’s plan is indeed correct, but these seven cave entrances are too scattered. If we want to block these entrances, we will have to disperse a lot of troops. If the demonic sect inside the caves becomes desperate and concentrates its troops to attack only one entrance, not only will our other entrances not be able to provide support in time, but we will also suffer a lot of casualties.”

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun nodded and looked at the other party: "What suggestions do you have, Daoist Master?"

Chongxu offered his suggestions.

“Our Wudang forces have brought a lot of explosives this time. We can bury them in six other locations, leaving only one entrance, so that we can concentrate our forces to block that entrance.”

The Wudang Sect suffered hundreds of casualties in an ambush by the Demonic Sect at Zifeng Mountain. Such heavy losses were a major blow to the Wudang Sect. Chongxu had written a letter back to Wudang Mountain in the past few days, bringing with him a large amount of explosives, which came in handy this time.

It seems that Chongxu is truly enraged this time.

Yue Buqun was somewhat surprised to hear this, but then nodded.

"So good."

After discussing the plan, everyone immediately put it into action. Yue Buqun did not kill the three members of the Demonic Sect.

"Tell me, where are your men lying in ambush?"

Yue Buqun looked at the three demonic cult members and interrogated them sternly.

"It's in a town a few miles from Yinping Mountain."

The three of them were honest and dared not hide anything.

Who is leading this?

Yue Buqun pressed for an answer.

"It is Sang San Niang, the head of the Sang family."

One of the three replied.

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun fell into deep thought.

"Sang Sanniang?"

He was unfamiliar with the name.

Upon hearing the name, Jiang Ning stepped forward and said to Yue Buqun, "Master, this person was originally under Dongfang Bubai's command, but was later controlled by Ren Woxing with the Three Corpse Brain God Pill."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "How skilled is this man in martial arts?"

Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head.

Yue Buqun understood his meaning and couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that Ren Woxing has no one else to use."

Yue Buqun had long seen that ever since Xiang Wentian led a group of experts to ambush Jiang Ning but failed and even died at Jiang Ning's hands, Ren Woxing's experts had been stretched thin. Now, they even had to send Sang San Niang, who had only average martial arts skills, to lead the ambush.

"However, we still cannot be careless."

Although the Demonic Cult did not have a decent leader this time, it still sent nearly 10,000 members to ambush them. If they had not discovered it in advance, there would have been a lot of casualties. At that time, these martial arts practitioners who had gathered to fight the demon would have been afraid and scattered, and the outcome of this demon-slaying campaign would have been uncertain.

"Ning'er".

Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning stepped forward.
