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

Lao Denuo was shocked and looked at Jiang Ning in disbelief.

"why?"

Jiang Ning laughed and said, "Do you really think that Master knows nothing? Do you really think that we don't know that you are a spy sent by the Songshan Sect?"

Jiang Ning still had that smile on his face, but to Laudeno at this moment, it made him feel extremely frightened.

As Jiang Ning gradually approached Laudeno, his tone became more and more sinister, and Laudeno could clearly feel the murderous intent.

Laudenuo kept backing away, listening to Jiang Ning's words, his heart was filled with shock and horror beyond words.

"Second Brother, there's no need to look around anymore. Brother Shi Daizi and the others are not here right now. Brother Tao Jun was also led away by me just now. They won't be back in a short time. You don't have to think about running away. You know my methods. If I want to kill you, you can't run away."

Lao Denuo looked at Jiang Ning in shock and anger. He had just experienced a fierce battle, which consumed a lot of his physical and internal energy. In addition, he had not had much rest in these days, and his physical strength had long been exhausted. His strength was originally lower than Jiang Ning's, and now he was like a lamb to be slaughtered.

Whoosh!

Laudeno's expression turned ruthless, he threw the sword in his hand and made a desperate gesture, but the next second he rushed towards the window.

when!

Bang!

Laudeno was kicked back, and the sword he threw at Jiang Ning was deflected by Jiang Ning with a casual knife.

Lao Denuo looked at Jiang Ning in shock and anger, and asked, "When did Yue Buqun know that I was a spy sent by Zuo Lengchan?"

Jiang Ning came to Lao Denuo, looked at him and smiled: "Since the first day you came."

Lao Denuo was shocked and said incredulously: "Impossible, if he knew it at that time, why didn't Yue Buqun kill me? Why did he keep me alive for so many years?"

Jiang Ning said, "You are still useful to me. We need you to stabilize the Songshan Sect and Zuo Lengchan. But now you are useless. You can die now."

Lao Denuo was shocked and angry: "You deliberately carried out this bandit suppression operation just to kill me?"

"hehe."

Jiang Ning laughed out loud and shook his head gently: "Okay, Second Brother, it's time to get going."

After saying that, Jiang Ning's smile faded, and he looked at Lao Denuo expressionlessly. He turned his wrist and the knife flashed.

puff!

Lao Denuo covered his neck, stared at Jiang Ning with his eyes wide open, and unconsciously made a hoarse sound from his mouth.

His throat was completely cut off by Jiang Ning's knife.

Blood seeped through the gaps between Laudno's fingers and formed a pool of blood on the ground.

At this time, Jiang Ning had already left.

……

When Jiang Ning came back, he still did not attract the attention of Lin Pingzhi and others.

His location was only a few dozen miles away from Laudeno's location, and a round trip was only a hundred miles. If he rode at full speed on horseback, he could run the round trip in about an hour. Including the time he took to go up the mountain to kill Laudeno and then go down the mountain, it would take more than two hours to complete the task.

Before this, Jiang Ning specifically told Lin Pingzhi and others that he was going to practice internal skills in the room, so no one went to look for him during this period, and no one noticed that he had left.

Now that Lao Denuo is dead, the Huashan Sect is temporarily out of Zuo Lengchan's sight. In the next period of time, the Huashan Sect will develop rapidly. By the time Zuo Lengchan reacts, the overall strength of the Huashan Sect will have been raised to a higher level.

It is estimated that Linghu Chong's side has been cleared out, and the team led by Lao Denuo has also been almost cleared out. He is the last one left. After Jiang Ning clears out the last bandit nest tomorrow, he can return to Huashan.

This bandit suppression operation was planned by Jiang Ning from beginning to end.

Jiang Ning had already thought of this plan when Yue Buqun revealed to him that he wanted to kill Lao Denuo. Yue Buqun provided the locations of these strongholds, and he arranged the plan and details.

Since the decline of the Huashan Sect, the Sect has been in a slump for the rest of the time. Except for Linghu Chong, the disciples rarely go down the mountain. After the sword energy dispute, the Huashan Sect was closed for quite a long time. Even though Yue Buqun had earned the name of Gentleman Sword outside, he was only well-known in the martial arts world and his influence was far less than before.

Jiang Ning's move was to uproot the bandit strongholds entrenched in the four prefectures and eliminate these scourges for the people.

The second is to restore the reputation of Huashan Sect in Shaanxi and let the people of Shaanxi know about the existence of Huashan Sect.

The third is to deter the villains. What the Qingcheng Sect did in Hanzhong last time was the first time, but it will not be the last. The Huashan Sect is now declaring its sovereignty and warning other forces that are ready to make a move against the Huashan Sect. If they dare to come to Shaanxi to spread their influence in a high-profile manner like the Qingcheng Sect did before, don't blame the Huashan Sect for being rude.

As for killing Laudno, it was just a matter of convenience. To cover up the fact by deliberately carrying out an operation to kill him was to think too highly of him.

Originally, Yue Buqun was inclined to kill Lao Denuo directly, but Jiang Ning had different ideas.

Laudeno's strength is not low, it would be a waste if we don't make good use of it.

Jiang Ning asked Yue Buqun to use Zixia magic as bait to lure Lao Denuo into the trap. In order to prevent Lao Denuo from feeling that he could not compete with him and Linghu Chong and simply giving up, Jiang Ning created a system where the first, second and third place winners would receive a certain amount of Zixia magic.

If Lao Denuo wants to obtain more Zixia secret books, he will definitely work hard. His enthusiasm and participation will be no less than Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong.

In order to get the highest possible ranking, Laudeno would not be lazy and would work non-stop, destroying one stronghold and then going to the next one, which would consume his physical and internal strength.

Jiang Ning set the end point of his bandit-suppression route very close to the end point of his own route. He learned about Laudenuo's progress from the people of Huaming Village. He deliberately lowered his efficiency to keep a small gap with Laudenuo. When Laudenuo reached the last stronghold, Jiang Ning would personally go to the stronghold to wait for him.

After another fierce battle, Lao Denuo's body must not be as good as normal. He was no match for Jiang Ning, and it was impossible for him to escape from Jiang Ning's palm when his physical and internal energy were greatly consumed. After Jiang Ning led away Tao Jun, the last Huashan disciple beside him, Lao Denuo's life and death was completely in Jiang Ning's hands.

Lao Denuo died in Jiang Ning's hands. Even until the moment before his death, he was still contributing his last bit of energy to the Huashan Sect. He died only after Jiang Ning had used up all his surplus value.

The entire process of this incident was planned by Jiang Ning, and Yue Buqun only provided some technical support and the locations of those bandit camps.

When Huashan was unable to maintain itself, Yue Buqun would capture thieves and suppress bandits in exchange for rewards from the government. After his long-term investigation, he had already memorized most of the bandit camps in various parts of Shaanxi.

Whenever the sect was short of funds, Yue Buqun would randomly choose a bandit camp to suppress them, and this went on for many years.

Chapter 94: I will burn the Zixia magic skill to him

Chapter 94: I will burn the Zixia magic skill to him

It can be said that Yue Buqun witnessed Jiang Ning's plan with his own eyes.

Of course, such a plan cannot be said to be very powerful, but it is comprehensive and appropriate, and takes all aspects into consideration.

The most important thing is that Jiang Ning is walking the upright path and not engaging in conspiracies or intrigues.

He was frightened by the skills Jiang Ning showed, but he was more relieved.

For him, and for the Huashan Sect, the more stunning Jiang Ning's performance was, the more surprised he was.

Having means, strength, affection, determination, and most importantly, a heart that protects the right path.

With such a disciple, needless to say, the master and the disciples worked together to develop the Huashan Sect.

If even such a person cannot lead the Huashan Sect to flourish, then there is nothing much for Yue Buqun to say.

Four days later.

Jiang Ning took Lin Pingzhi and a few others to wipe out the last bandit stronghold and returned to Huashan.

After this action, they eradicated the bandit problem in Hanzhong, Xi'an, Fengxiang and Pingliang prefectures. The Huashan Sect became famous again and entered the sight of ordinary people.

At this time, all the Huashan disciples who had been down the mountain for many days were standing neatly in the martial arts training ground. Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong stood in front of them, and a corpse covered with white cloth lay in front of everyone.

Lao Denuo was the only person who died in this operation. Most of the other Huashan disciples were injured, many of them were slightly injured, and only a few were seriously injured. However, basically they were not in serious condition and had no disabilities. They just needed to rest for a while.

Yue Buqun looked at the disciples present with satisfaction and said, "You have done a great job this time. You have eliminated these disasters for the people of the four prefectures and brought them safety."

As he spoke, Yue Buqun looked at the corpse covered with a white cloth on the ground and sighed.

"It's just that Denuo's death surprised me. I originally thought that Denuo's progress in this bandit suppression campaign would be the slowest among the three. I didn't expect that although Denuo is old, his desire to benefit the people is no less than that of the others."

After Tao Jun and his men came back from chasing the bandits, they found that they could not find Laudenuo, so they searched everywhere in the bandit camp, and then found Laudenuo's body in that room.

Since Laudno died so suddenly, they had no idea what had happened. Based on the clever inference of one of them, they concluded that Laudno was ambushed by gangsters hiding in the house and then ran away.

It was really because Lao Denuo was too old. He had been suppressing bandits everywhere for the past half month. After suppressing one bandit camp, he would go to the next one without much rest. Even young people like Tao Jun could not stand this high intensity.

Even though Laudeno was quite powerful, his body could not withstand such hardship. He was stronger than his fellow disciples, but not superhuman. Especially since the overall strength of the last bandit camp was higher than the previous five, they had really worked hard to succeed. Considering Laudeno's physical fatigue during this period, coupled with the high-intensity killing beforehand, it was possible that he was careless when he cleared out several hidden bandits in such a dark environment and was ambushed by one of the bandits hiding in the house.

Yue Buqun sighed again and said, "Although Denuo is the oldest among you, he has been a member for quite a while. He has been working hard for Huashan Sect and I have seen it all. I just didn't expect that he would die in this operation. But he sacrificed for the people of Shaanxi. You don't have to be too sad. His death is worth it. Not only him, but we should also be ready to sacrifice for the righteous path at any time."

"Yes, Master!"

Lu Dayou, Liang Fa and other Huashan disciples said with solemn expressions.

After setting the tone for the incident, Yue Buqun began to reward people according to their merits.

"In this operation, the team led by Linghu Chong was the first to wipe out the bandit's lair. His team came in first place."

"Deno's team is the second one, and Jiangning's team is the third one."

"Chong'er, Ning'er, the two of you come forward."

Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong and Jiang Ning took a step forward and stopped.

Yue Buqun took out two thin books from his bosom and handed them to Linghu Chong and Jiang Ning respectively, and said: "These are the secrets of the Zixia Magic Skill written down by the master. After you two have read them, burn them to prevent them from being stolen by thieves. From now on, you must concentrate on practicing and not be lazy."

"Yes, Master!"

Linghu Chong held the thin secret book in both hands, looking slightly excited.

Jiang Ning took it calmly.

Yue Buqun looked at Lao Denuo's body on the ground again and sighed.

"Although Denuo is dead, the master's promise must be fulfilled. After his body is buried, the master will burn his portion of the Zixia Divine Art formula in front of his grave. If he knows about it in the afterlife, he can rest in peace."

"Master, I am deeply saddened by your loss."

The other Huashan disciples spoke one after another.

Yue Buqun nodded and said to them: "You don't have to feel disappointed. Although I didn't pass on the Purple Cloud Magic Skill to you, I have decided to pass on the Hunyuan Skill to you. You must practice diligently after you get the skills. When your internal strength reaches the standard, I will also pass on the Purple Cloud Magic Skill to you."

what?

The Huashan disciples were stunned by Yue Buqun's words.

Originally, Hunyuan Gong was already a superior martial art within the sect. They had never had the chance to learn it before. Only Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong could learn it before. Now Yue Buqun not only fully opened Hunyuan Gong to them, but also painted a rosy picture for them. How could they not be surprised?

Seeing the disciples' surprised expressions, Yue Buqun stroked his beard and smiled, "I was originally going to teach you the Purple Cloud Magic Art right now, but to practice the Purple Cloud Magic Art, you must have a certain foundation of internal strength, so you must practice the Hunyuan Art first. Only when your internal strength reaches the standard can you practice the Purple Cloud Magic Art. So you must practice diligently and don't let me down."

"Yes, Master!"

"Master is wise!!!"

Disciples such as Lu Dayou and Gao Genming shouted loudly, their faces flushed.

They originally thought that this had nothing to do with them, but they didn't expect that they would also have the opportunity to practice their sect's treasure.

Although Linghu Chong was somewhat surprised, he did not react. He had obtained the Zixia magic skill earlier than his fellow disciples, so his martial arts progress must be faster than that of his fellow disciples.

He had already decided not to drink during this period of time, and not to go down the mountain, so as to devote himself to the Zixia magic skill.
