The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

“But it’s a hoax!”

At this point, Huiyin's face showed anger.

"That broken sword wasn't the Heavenly Sword at all. He found a fake one to deceive everyone back then."

After the fake sword was found, it was kept in the treasury, and the monk naturally became the head of the Emei Sect.

It was not until twenty years later that an Emei disciple finally found a way to repair the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and discovered the truth, but it was too late.

During these years, that monk had occupied the Emei Sect and continuously infiltrated the Emei Sect, winning over the male disciples of the Emei Sect and marginalizing Huiyin and other orthodox Emei sects. Over the years, he also recruited some monks who all respected him. Finally, a civil war broke out in Mount Emei. That group of monks and Emei male disciples took the lead in launching a sneak attack on Huiyin's orthodox Emei sect. They were defeated and forced to flee Mount Emei. The man who stole Emei took control of the Emei Sect, and his disciples became the current leaders of Emei.

In order to prevent other sects in the martial arts world from discovering the internal changes of the Emei Sect, the Emei Sect has been very low-key since the time of Master Jin Guang's master until now, and the disciples of the sect rarely travel around the world. It has become a sect with a very low sense of presence today, and people even suspected their decline at one point.

"..."

Yue Buqun's eyes widened slightly when he heard this.

The two masters and apprentices couldn't help but look at each other again.

Jiang Ning didn't know what to say.

It’s exciting. So exciting.

This was even more exciting than their sword energy battle at Mount Hua.

At least the dispute over sword energy was an internal struggle of the Huashan Sect, and the Emei Sect was usurped by the other sect. This is probably the first sect to be invaded like this throughout history.

Although Huiyin spoke very briefly and did not elaborate on the process, it was enough to surprise Jiang Ning and Yue Buqun.

"We, the orthodox Emei sect, were forced to leave Mount Emei after being attacked that night and have been in hiding until now."

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun pondered for a moment and said nothing, but instead glanced at Jiang Ning imperceptibly.

Jiang Ning understood and said, "Since such a thing happened to your sect, why don't you ask Wudang for help? In the past, Emei and Wudang had a close relationship, and Wudang is now the Taishan of the martial arts world. If your sect asks Wudang for help, Wudang should lend a helping hand."

It is very unusual that so many years have passed since the incident and the Emei disciples of Huiyin's lineage have remained in seclusion and have not sought help from outside.

Huiyin smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Jiang, you don't know that although our Emei Sect had a close relationship with Wudang a hundred years ago, that was during the time of our third generation patriarch and Master Zhang. After our fourth generation leader took over, the relationship with Wudang took a sharp turn for the worse."

What she said were all grudges from more than a hundred years ago. Ever since the disappearance of the fourth generation leader Zhou Zhiruo, the relationship between the Emei Sect and the Wudang Sect has not improved, and has been in a lukewarm state until that monk usurped the throne and had a very close relationship with Wudang and Shaolin. Now the Emei Sect only follows the lead of Shaolin and Wudang, so how dare they go to Wudang for help.

"and……"

Huiyin wanted to say something, but she frowned again and again and finally said nothing.

Jiang Ning nodded and said nothing more.

Yue Buqun asked, "Auntie, are you coming up the mountain today to ask for help from our Huashan Sect and help your sect take back Emei?"

Although he was asking, Yue Buqun had no intention of getting involved in this muddy water. Judging from the current situation, the Emei Sect was a mess.

Even if the other party is a usurper, they have been in charge of Emei for decades, and there were many Emei disciples who sided with the other party when they launched the internal coup. That monk also joined the Emei sect before and is an authentic Emei disciple. It was you who made them the sect leader. Now this situation has occurred, and you have not asked others for help for decades, and so much time has passed. Even if the matter is true, they can't help.

Now the entire martial arts world knows that the current head of Emei is Master Jin Guang. If Huiyin, who claims to be an Emei disciple, asks them for help, it would be unreasonable for them to really take action.

The Huashan Sect had just been forced to surrender by the Songshan Sect not long ago, so Yue Buqun was very sensitive and vigilant about this.

Jiang Ning had the same idea. So far, they knew nothing. It all depended on what the other party said. It was unknown whether it was true or false. Moreover, the other party did not mention some details when he spoke.

For example, the material of the Sword of the Heavenly Sword is not comparable to that of ordinary materials, and the Emei Sect has had the Sword of the Heavenly Sword for such a long time that they must have a very deep understanding of it. It is impossible for the other party to get away with it by just finding a broken sword. When the monk found the fake broken sword, the Emei Sect must have studied it carefully and only recognized that person as the Master of Emei after confirming that it was correct. In the end, they found out they had been deceived when they really wanted to repair the Sword of the Heavenly Sword. There are too many suspicious points in this.

Just when Yue Buqun and Jiang Ning thought that Huiyin went up the mountain to ask Huashan to take action, Huiyin shook her head.

"This matter is an internal matter of my Emei Sect. It is inconvenient for your sect to intervene. I did not come up the mountain for this matter."

Oh?

Yue Buqun was a little surprised.

Jiang Ning frowned and asked, "What is the purpose of this trip, Master?"

Huiyin had a serious expression and a straight posture.

"For a hundred years, the Demon Cult has brought disaster to the world and harmed the people. It is the duty of our righteous sect to eliminate the demons and defend the way. Soon, our Emei sect will officially purge the villains who stole from the Emei sect. After our Emei sect has dealt with those people, we would like to form an alliance with your sect."

This is the real purpose of Huiyin and the Emei disciples behind her.

However, this was not the reason that surprised Yue Buqun and Jiang Ning. What surprised them at this moment was what Huiyin had said before.

They want to deal with Master Jin Guang and his men on their own, and they are confident that they can do it without the help of Huashan Sect.

This means that after decades of accumulation and development, they are confident that they have enough strength to destroy the group of Emei disciples headed by Master Jin Guang. They come here only to establish diplomatic relations with Huashan Sect in advance and strive for Huashan Sect's post-war support. After all, Master Jin Guang has been in charge of Emei for decades. By that time, there will be a big change within the Emei Sect, and some sects that are on good terms with Master Jin Guang may attack them.

"By then, there may be some sects in the martial arts world that have been deceived by the Golden Light thieves and will misunderstand us. We hope that Huashan Sect can speak a fair word for us at that time."

Although Huiyin didn't say it explicitly, she was almost like writing the names of the two martial arts sects, Wudang and Shaolin, on her face.

I don’t know why these orthodox Emei people are very wary of Wudang and Shaolin.

"If Huashan Sect is willing to speak for us at that time, we, the orthodox disciples of Emei, will be grateful. In return, if Huashan Sect needs help in the future, our Emei Sect will not stand idly by and will do our best to help."

Yue Buqun stopped talking.

It seems that just by saying a few words one can gain the orthodox friendship and help of Emei, but in fact it is not that simple. If Wudang or Shaolin are really dissatisfied and attack Huiyin and others, Huashan Sect will be confronting Wudang and Shaolin if it speaks up for Huiyin and others.

If it was decades ago when the Huashan Sect was still at its peak, they wouldn't be afraid, but now...

Yue Buqun was in a difficult situation of making a decision.

Jiang Ning didn't think about this question. He was thinking about why the other party would come to Huashan Sect instead of other sects.

You should know that among the current righteous sects, in addition to Wudang, Shaolin and the Five Mountains Sword Sect, there are also many large sects, such as Kunlun Sect and Dian Cang Sect.

Seeing the master and disciple opposite her lost in thought, Huiyin did not urge them but waited patiently. However, the movement of the Buddhist beads in her right hand showed that she was not that calm.

They did so at great risk.

Things must be done in secrecy. Although they were confident that they could deal with Master Jin Guang and others, in fact their strength was not much greater than Master Jin Guang. They had the advantage of making arrangements in secret. If the plan was leaked in advance, their success rate would be greatly reduced.

Before Huiyin came to Shaanxi, some people in their group disagreed with doing so. They preferred to get rid of Master Jin Guang before contacting the Huashan Sect. However, some people thought that it would be too late and by that time Shaolin and Wudang would already know about it. The Huashan Sect might not be able to support them despite the pressure from Shaolin and Wudang. Some things are different if said in advance than after the fact.

"..."

Yue Buqun lowered his head in thought, his brows furrowed.

After a while.

Yue Buqun raised his head and looked at Huiyin opposite him. Instead of agreeing or refusing, he asked a question.

"Yue wants to know why you chose Huashan Sect?"

Huiyin smiled and said, "Master Yue is an upright person, and has a reputation as a gentleman sword in the martial arts world. Huashan Sect is a famous and powerful sect in the world, and has an extraordinary status in the martial arts world. We believe that Master Yue is a good person and noble sect."

The choice of Huashan Sect was naturally made after careful consideration.

At first, Huashan Sect was not within their consideration. The main reason was that Huashan Sect was too destitute after the sword energy dispute. Their first choice was Songshan Sect.

In today's martial arts world, the Five Mountains Sword Sects are as famous as Shaolin and Wudang, and are well-known sects in the martial arts world. Among them, the Songshan Sect is the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and its strength far exceeds that of the other four sects. However, the Songshan Sect and Shaolin are both in Songshan. If they go to the Songshan Sect to get Zuo Lengchan's support, there is a high probability that the news will leak out and Shaolin will find out, so they give up.

As for Kunlun, it is far away from the Central Plains and is very close to Shaolin. Like Master Jin Guang and his group, they only follow Shaolin's lead and have never thought about getting support from Kunlun.

The other sects were either too small or already had ties with Shaolin. No sect in the vast martial arts world was suitable.

Until Jiang Ning brought the Huashan Sect into their sight.

They naturally knew exactly what Jiang Ning had done in Sichuan, and they were also surprised by this rising star. They immediately began to collect information about Jiang Ning, but the more they collected, the more shocked they felt.

Everything Jiang Ning did since his debut was simply eye-opening. He removed the Iron Palm Sect, killed Tian Boguang, eradicated banditry, wiped out Yu Canghai and his disciples, and eliminated the Green Gang. None of these sects or people survived as long as Jiang Ning took action. His methods were so ruthless and his style was so tough that they were unheard of or seen before. He even earned a title.

Ning Yanwang.

People in the martial arts world are very keen on giving others nicknames. Generally, nicknames are given based on the other person's appearance or physical characteristics, or based on the other person's unique skills, or based on the other person's style of doing things, such as Yue Buqun's Gentleman Sword.

Due to Jiang Ning's ruthless style, this title was only circulated in some circles at first, but after Jiang Ning destroyed the Qingcheng Sect, the name of Ning Yanwang became completely known.

Many righteous people were very surprised when they heard this title. They originally thought that the disciple taught by Yue Buqun, who was known as the Gentleman Sword, should also be a Little Gentleman Sword, but they didn't expect that he actually taught a living King of Hell.

Now people in the martial arts world have something to say about the master and disciple pair, Yue Buqun and Jiang Ning.

I would rather provoke a gentleman's sword than the King of Hell.

However, some righteous people are quite disgusted with this title. They think this title is too murderous and does not sound like that of a righteous person.

But this name immediately attracted the attention of Huiyin and other orthodox disciples of Emei, and also made them start to pay attention to Huashan Sect.

A few months ago, when Yue Buqun announced the merger of the Sword and Qi sects, the news of the departure of Master Dingyi and others also spread, including the specific circumstances at the time. They all knew that the Huashan Sect had two more first-rate masters.

The Huashan Sect has been very low-key over the years. The leader usually keeps a low profile, but the strength he displays is so terrifying.

Only then did they realize that this sect was about to rise again.

The master is unfathomable, the disciples are highly skilled in martial arts, and there are many experts in the sect. The rise of the Huashan Sect has made them pay attention to this sect again.

Huiyin and other orthodox Emei disciples unexpectedly discovered that the Huashan Sect was a very suitable sect to be won over.

Emei and Huashan were once among the six major sects with equal status, and the relationship between Huashan Sect and Wudang and Shaolin was not that close. When Wudang, Kunlun and Kongtong were all led by Shaolin, only Huashan became independent and established the Five Mountains Sword Sect, preventing Shaolin from dominating alone. Although it has declined now, it also has its own small circle of the Five Mountains.

Although there are few disciples in the Huashan Sect today, the quality of its masters is very strong. The leader has the title of Gentleman Sword in the martial arts world and has great prestige. If Yue Buqun is willing to speak for them, the help it will bring to them is unimaginable.

If they can win over the Huashan Sect, it means they have also won over the other Five Mountains Sword Sects.

After much consideration, they decided to choose Huashan Sect.

Of course, the most important reason why they chose Huashan Sect was that although the sword energy dispute in Huashan Sect was concealed, it was known to all the top sects in the world, such as Shaolin, Wudang, and the Sun and Moon Sect. They, Emei, also knew about it. Moreover, they knew that the incident that led to the decline of Huashan Sect was not as simple as an internal fight within the Huashan Sect.

After a while.

Yue Buqun stood up.

"If you don't mind, Master, you can stay in Huashan Sect for a few days."

Huiyin's heart tightened.

This is already an implicit rejection.

However, Yue Buqun's next words made her feel a little relieved.

"I can't make a decision on this matter for the time being. Please give me some time. I will give Master a reply tomorrow morning."

Huiyin felt a little relieved after hearing this. It was already afternoon and the other party didn't need much time to consider, just one night, which she could still accept.

"In that case, I will respectfully await news from Sect Leader Yue."
