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

"Should we follow them and see what happens?"

At this point, the other disciples shook their heads.

"Forget it, Mr. Ji knows the Alliance Leader, so he probably won't do anything to harm the interests of our righteous path. Let's continue hunting down the other demonic sects."

"Row."

The disciples reached a consensus and left.

Ji Wushi led the group to a secluded place, where he was about to do something that no one else could see.

"Mr. Ji, where are you taking us?"

Du Song said nervously, and the others were also somewhat apprehensive.

"Let's stay here."

Ji Wushi stopped and looked at Du Song with a half-smile.

"Elder Du, who are these people?"

Upon hearing this, Du Song quickly replied, "They are several elders whom I have persuaded to defect in the past few days, and they have also decided to abandon the darkness and embrace the light."

The others quickly introduced themselves to Ji Wushi.

Du Song then spoke nervously, "Mr. Ji, you previously said that as long as we are willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light, the court will not punish us. I wonder if that is still true now..."

Ji Wushi smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Of course it still counts."

Upon receiving the definitive answer, Du Song and the others visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Song said in a deep voice, "We have no intention of resisting the imperial court. We were forced by Ren Woxing, who controlled us with the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. We had no choice but to accept it. Now that Ren Woxing has been defeated, we are willing to serve the imperial court."

Ji Wushi smiled and nodded.

"The imperial court is in dire need of talents like Elder Du."

Du Song relaxed and smiled, "Mr. Ji, Ren Woxing has now been defeated. I wonder what our antidote is..."

Previously, Ji Wushi had promised that after Ren Woxing's death, he would find an antidote for them, or that the imperial court would develop an antidote to cure the poison in their bodies.

"Although Ren Woxing has been defeated, he is not dead yet. We will probably have to wait a while to get the antidote."

Ji Wushi slowly said, and before the others could react, he continued, "However, the imperial court is also researching an antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. Although it has not yet been developed, a drug has been created that can temporarily suppress the Three Corpse Brain God Pill for a period of time."

As he spoke, Ji Wushi took out a small bottle and tossed it to Du Song.

Upon hearing this, Du Song quickly accepted it.

"Perfect, you guys can divide it up."

Du Song and the others were overjoyed.

"Thank you, Mr. Ji."

"Thank you, Mr. Ji."

The group thanked them repeatedly, then hurriedly poured the medicine from the small bottle into their mouths.

The Three Corpse Brain God Pills within them were about to erupt, and the antidote given to them by Ji Wushi truly relieved their urgent crisis.

But only for a moment, their expressions changed, and they felt a sharp pain in their abdomens.

Juniper collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

"This is not the antidote, this is, this is..."

"poison."

Ji Wushi smiled and took over the conversation, looking down at the group, his expression gradually fading.

"You really think I don't understand what you're thinking?"

Previously, Du Song had reached a consensus with him to serve the court, but Du Song did not inform him in advance about the ambush in the Yinping Mountain cave complex, nor did he inform him in advance about the mobilization of Ren Woxing's army. If Ji Wushi had not been cautious, they would probably have already fallen into the ambush.

The other party is simply betting on both sides.

Ji Wushi himself was incredibly shrewd; how could he possibly be fooled by the other party's petty schemes? Besides, Ji Wushi had never intended for these people to live in the first place.

Hearing the screams of the group, Ji Wushi smiled faintly. After the screams completely stopped and the group fell silent, Ji Wushi turned and left.

……

"Chase!"

Meanwhile, on the other side, after briefly dealing with the problem of the Diancang Sect leader, Yue Buqun shouted.

Since the Demonic Cult fled in small groups after its defeat, these fleeing members could not be allowed to escape. Each faction left some people to hunt down these scattered members, while the main forces of each faction still gathered together and chased after Ren Woxing in the direction he had retreated.

"You've all worked hard today, please rest here."

Jiang Ning looked at the Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Snake and said.

These two strange beasts have done a great job today, working very hard, but they are indeed exhausted. The black tortoise is panting on the ground, and the spirit snake is completely limp.

Seeing them like this, Jiang Ning couldn't bear to let them continue the battle and let them rest here.

The Xuan Turtle and the Spirit Snake responded reluctantly to Jiang Ning's words, as they were too tired to move.

"After this battle, you'll have a good meal."

Upon hearing this, the two beasts' eyes lit up, and they nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Ning patted their heads and then caught up with the main group.

"Young Master Jiang displayed his divine prowess today, moving through the Demonic Sect as if it were his own territory. This old Taoist is truly impressed."

While on the road, Chongxu suddenly spoke up.

Jiang Ning looked over.

"You flatter me, Daoist Master."

"Young Master Jiang, there's no need for you to be so modest."

Chongxu smiled slightly and said, "Your performance today has been seen by all the martial arts practitioners present. If you hadn't stormed into the Demonic Sect's rear and disrupted the demoness's command, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for us to win."

All the factions present knew that Ren Yingying was in charge of the Demonic Sect. Ren Yingying was indeed quite capable. Under her command, the Demonic Sect fought a very close battle with them. If Jiang Ning hadn't stormed into the enemy camp and interrupted Ren Yingying's command, the Demonic Sect wouldn't have been defeated so quickly, and their casualties would have been much greater.

It can be said that Jiangning's performance today was extremely impressive, leaving everyone amazed.

"It seems that the old Taoist priest's decision back then was very wise."

Chongxu smiled and said, "To see the True Martial Sword shine again in Young Hero Jiang's hands is the greatest fortune of my life."

"I believe that in the future, the True Martial Sword will surely sweep away all demons in the world in the hands of Young Hero Jiang."

Jiang Ning smiled slightly, but his expression turned serious when he heard the other person's last words.

"This is also my lifelong wish."

Chongxu looked at Jiang Ning with a smile, and unconsciously thought of the calligraphy that Zhu Houzhao had given him.

Only the sky is above, and no mountain can compare...

Seeing Chongxu so engrossed in his conversation with Jiang Ning, Fang Zheng, though his expression remained unchanged, couldn't help but glance at his old friend.

Although Wudang and Shaolin had only tacitly formed an alliance in the past without making it public, for some reason, seeing Chongxu now, Fang Zheng still felt a sense of betrayal.

It's like the feeling a husband has when he sees his wife flirting with someone else.

It's amazing.

Fang Zheng shook his head, trying to dispel the absurd thought from his mind.

In any case, it was time for him to have a talk with this old friend.

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, traces of the Demonic Sect have been discovered ahead!"

At this moment, a martial arts practitioner reported the situation to Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun's expression brightened.

"Chase!"

The group quickened their pace and, sure enough, spotted a group of fleeing members of the Demonic Cult in the woods ahead.

Upon seeing Yue Buqun and Jiang Ning, who were pursuing them, the fleeing members of the Demonic Cult were terrified and hastily quickened their pace.

But which of Jiang Ning and the others who were pursuing them wasn't a master?

Upon seeing this group of demonic cult members, Jiang Ning and the others used their lightness skills to close the distance in a few breaths.

"not good!"

"They've caught up!"

"Run!"

Upon seeing this, the fleeing members of the demonic cult scattered and fled without any intention of resisting.

"stop!"

Disciples from various factions quickly caught up, shouting sternly, and began to attack the next second.

The catching-up members of the demonic sect gritted their teeth and fought back, and the two sides clashed again.

boom!

Jiang Ning flicked his hand, unleashing a sword aura that swept forward, creating a crater in the ground. The demonic cult members nearby were blasted away and fell to the ground, howling in pain.

Yue Buqun and the leaders of various sects had already made their moves, and they could easily defeat this group of demonic cult members. The battle ended in just a moment.

"Your Majesty!"

Disciples from various factions escorted the remaining members of the Demonic Cult to Yue Buqun and his group, and rebuked them.

"Hero, spare my life!"

"Have mercy, sir!!"
