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

Zhong Zhen smiled and said, "Brother Sun is right."

"Speaking of which..."

Another man wearing the same khaki robe as Zuo Lengchan said, "The Huashan Sect is currently the weakest among the Five Mountains Sword Sects. Even if we want to annex them, the Huashan Sect would not dare to say no. I don't know why Senior Brother Zuo wants to attack the Huashan Sect in advance."

"hehe."

Zhong Zhen smiled and said, "Sixth Senior Brother, you don't know that although Huashan Sect is the weakest now, Senior Brother Yue himself is a very hidden talent. I heard that his Zixia Divine Art had already been perfected a few years ago, but he never showed off his strength. I don't know how strong he is. It must be for this reason that Senior Brother Zuo wanted to subdue him, so he took action in advance."

Sun Shen, the Sixth Guardian of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan, nodded: "Maybe."

He laughed again, "But annexing Huashan is not a good deal right now. Huashan Sect is so poor that the leader has to rely on catching thieves in exchange for rewards to maintain the sect's livelihood. Even if we annex Huashan Sect, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of money. This deal is really unprofitable."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Hearing his words, the other Thirteen Guardians couldn't help but burst into laughter.

……

Time passed by, and when Yue Buqun, Jiang Ning and his party returned to Huashan, it was already early July, which was almost the same time as when they went to Hengshan.

The journey back to Huashan was smooth without any accidents, except for one unusual incident when Jiang Ning, Yue Buqun and others passed by a small town to rest for a while. Jiang Ning discovered that Lao Denuo had sneaked out of the inn and came back not long after.

Jiang Ning did not make any other move, as if he had not noticed anything. Apart from that, he did not discover anything else. He just kept on rushing back to Huashan.

During the time they were away from Huashan, nothing major happened on the mountain, it was relatively stable, and the disciples were all working hard to practice.

Just two days after returning to Huashan to rest, Yue Buqun summoned all Huashan disciples to gather at the martial arts training ground. He had something important to announce.

"What? Suppressing bandits?"

When they heard what Yue Buqun was going to announce, everyone in the Huashan Sect except Jiang Ning and Ning Zhongze looked incredulous.

"Ah."

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "Bandits are rampant in Xi'an, Hanzhong, Fengxiang, and Pingliang. Some bandits have been entrenched in the mountains for a long time. They occupy the mountains and harm the local people and rob the merchants and civilians passing by. Master has long wanted to eliminate them all, but firstly, their mountain strongholds are hidden and difficult to find. Secondly, before this, our Huashan has been in a recovery period since more than 20 years ago and the mountain has been closed for a long time, so it has been delayed until now."

Yue Buqun looked at this group of disciples, his tone rising slightly but sonorous and powerful.

"But it takes ten years to sharpen a sword, but the blade has never been tested. Our Huashan Sect has been silent for long enough, and it has taken long enough for us to recover, so that other sects have begun to have ideas about us. Now that you have grown up, you don't have to practice hard in the mountains anymore. You must also carry the banner of the Huashan Sect and let those evil spirits and monsters try our sword."

"Clear up the evildoers, starting from the four prefectures!"

Chapter 90: The Bandit Suppression Officially Begins

Yue Buqun's words made the disciples eager to take action, with emotions surging on their faces.

At this time, Yue Buqun said: "Over the years, I have explored eighteen dens of these bandits. Your next task is to wipe out these eighteen dens."

After hearing these words, the Huashan disciples couldn't help but want to go down the mountain to fight the bandits right away.

But Yue Buqun continued, "Considering that some of the bandit dens are far apart, it would take a long time for you to fight them one by one. I have decided to send you to different places, and disciples with higher martial arts skills will lead you to fight the bandits."

Having said this, Yue Buqun paused and raised his voice slightly.

"Linghu Chong."

"Jiangning."

"Loudno."

"Exit!"

Linghu Chong, whose name was called, became excited and stood out first. Jiang Ning walked side by side with Linghu Chong calmly.

Hmm? And my share?

There was a flash of surprise in Lao Denuo's eyes, but he didn't think much about it and stood up, standing side by side with Linghu Chong and Jiang Ning.

Among the three, Linghu Chong is full of vigor and vitality, Jiang Ning is young and has high martial arts skills, and only Lao Denuo is old.

Yue Buqun looked at the three people in front of him and said, "I have divided these eighteen bandit nests into three areas. Next, I will divide the Huashan disciples into three groups, each led by the three of you. Each of you will be responsible for six people."

"Yes, Master."

Linghu Chong, Jiang Ning and Lao Denuo nodded in agreement.

Linghu Chong looked excited.

Before returning to Huashan, Yue Buqun had already passed on all the Huashan sword techniques to him, and even explained to him the sword techniques of the other Five Mountains sword sects. He was deeply moved by Yue Buqun's attention to him, so when Yue Buqun decided to suppress the bandits in the four prefectures and asked him to personally lead a team of fellow disciples, he had secretly made up his mind to work hard and complete the task assigned to him by Yue Buqun perfectly.

Jiang Ning was as calm as ever, while Lao Denuo seemed a little indifferent.

He came here as an undercover agent, not to contribute to the Huashan Sect, so his enthusiasm was really not high.

But the next second, what Yue Buqun said made him feel nervous.

Yue Buqun said to Linghu Chong, Jiang Ning and the others, "In order to increase your enthusiasm, I have decided to give you some of the training formulas of the Purple Cloud Magical Art as rewards this time."

"what?"

Linghu Chong and Lao Denuo were stunned, and the other Huashan Sect disciples were even more so.

"Dad, isn't Zixia Magic a skill that only the head of Huashan can practice?"

Yue Lingshan shouted.

"good."

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "But the skills are dead, people are alive, and only living people are the treasures of our Huashan Sect. I have decided to pass on part of the Zixia skills."

After that, Yue Buqun said to Linghu Chong, Jiang Ning and the others, "You three will all receive my Purple Cloud Magic Skill, but I have one request for you."

Yue Buqun paused for a moment, and after seeing Linghu Chong and Lao Denuo looking at him seriously, he continued, "Whoever can clear the area he is responsible for within half a month, the first one to finish clearing it, will get some of the secrets of the Purple Cloud Magic Skill."

Hearing this, Linghu Chong looked anxious: "Master, rest assured, I will do my best!"

"Don't be too anxious. The master hasn't finished speaking yet."

Yue Buqun added: "In addition to the first person to complete the goal, who will receive some of the Zixia Magic Skill formulas, the second and third place winners don't have to be disappointed. I will also teach you some of the Zixia Magic Skill, but not as much as the first place winner. The second place winner will receive fewer Zixia Magic Skill formulas than the first place winner, and the number decreases in order."

"Yes, Master!"

Linghu Chong and Lao Denuo's eyes lit up at the same time and they said loudly.

Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning and said, "Ning'er, you are the strongest among all the brothers, so for the sake of fairness, I will give you fewer people than Chong'er and Denuo. Do you have any objection?"

Jiang Ning shook his head: "No, Master."

"it is good."

Yue Buqun nodded, then looked at the disciples and said, "I will start to assign the number of people. Those whose names are called, please step out. You will be in the same group with Linghu Chong."

"Yue Lingshan, Lu Dayou, Gao Genming, Liang Fa..."

Yue Buqun called out the names of fourteen people in total, and the disciples whose names were called stood behind Linghu Chong.

"Shi Daizi, Tao Jun, Shu Qi..."

Another fourteen people came out and stood behind Laudno.

"Du Lanyin, Qiaojun, Lin Pingzhi..."

In the end, only six people were assigned to Jiangning, more than half the number of the other two groups.

Finally, there was one person left who was not assigned to any team and was picked out alone.

After dividing the teams, Yue Buqun took out three pieces of paper and handed them to Jiang Ning, Linghu Chong, and Lao Denuo respectively, saying: "The places marked on them are the targets you need to destroy. I have set an order for you based on the difficulty of each bandit nest, and you should destroy them in this order."

Linghu Chong and Lao Denuo opened it and took a look. It was a simple map. They were each responsible for six bandit nests.

Jiang Ning just glanced at it casually and didn't take it seriously.

He had seen these three drawings before.

After the three of them looked at the simple map in their hands, Yue Buqun signaled to Ning Zhongze, who turned around, took out a package, opened it and placed it on the ground.

Inside were eighteen signal arrows, three fingers wide and half a foot long.

Yue Buqun said, "This is the signal arrow that the head of Huashan uses to call the disciples together. Normally, only the head of the sect can use it, but this time the situation is special. Each of you will take six."

"I have discussed with the people of Huaming Village. Many of them will assist in this bandit suppression operation. Songnian will be stationed in Hanzhong. Every time you suppress a bandit nest, you should send a signal arrow on the mountain. The people of Huaming Village who are waiting for you at the foot of the mountain will see it and report your progress to Songnian. At the same time, you can also learn about the progress of the other two teams from these people."

Songnian is the disciple who was not assigned to any team.

When the people of Huaming Village heard that the Huashan Sect was going to do something big this time, they were very enthusiastic. If it weren't for Yue Buqun's strong insistence, they would not have planned to ask for any hard work pay this time.

"Yes."

"Yes."

"Yes."

Jiang Ning, Linghu Chong and Lao Denuo all agreed.

Yue Buqun nodded: "Okay, the task has been assigned to you. It is better to suppress the bandits as soon as possible. You can set off today.

"Yes, Master."

Linghu Chong, Jiang Ning and the other two agreed.

Yue Buqun looked at his disciples and said, "Although you will not be able to obtain the cultivation formula of Zixia Magical Art this time, I will teach you some Huashan sword techniques that you have not learned after you come back."

The other Huashan disciples were delighted when they heard this. It seemed like a good idea. The eldest brother, the second brother, and the youngest brother would eat the meat, and they would drink the soup.

"Yes!!"

"Yes!!"

The disciples replied excitedly.

Yue Buqun waved his sleeves and said: "You can act now."

After saying that, Linghu Chong hurriedly packed up his things and set off with his team.

Even the experienced Laudeno showed his determination to fight for the second place.

"Junior brother, when are we going down the mountain?"

Qiaojun asked.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Senior brothers and sisters, you can go back and prepare now."

After hearing his words, the rest of the people didn't say anything else and immediately hurried back to their rooms to pack their things. Lin Pingzhi was even more nervous.

His kung fu was the worst, yet Yue Buqun assigned him to Jiang Ning's team because he was really afraid of holding Jiang Ning back.
