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

Page 268

People in the martial arts world are all skilled in martial arts. Even those low-level, amateurish characters are still strong and powerful men. However, their quality varies greatly, and ordinary people are at a disadvantage when facing them.

Normally it's fine, but whenever these江湖人士 (jianghu figures) gather, such things are more likely to happen.

However, Jiang Ning discovered that after a large number of martial arts practitioners poured into the county, the order was surprisingly good. Although there were many of these martial arts practitioners, they were all well-behaved and there was no sign of noise or chaos.

Although he didn't understand the reason, Jiang Ning felt that this was fine.

Snapped!

boom!

Just as Jiang Ning was thinking, the sounds of fighting and cursing suddenly rang out not far ahead.

"Where did these few treasures come from, running around causing trouble here? They dare to lay hands on your grandma in broad daylight."

A woman's voice shouted angrily, accompanied by several screams.

The once peaceful street became noisy, with many martial arts practitioners and ordinary people gathering in front to watch the spectacle.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning also decided to go over and see what had happened.

"Ouch, it hurts me to death."

Several martial arts practitioners lay on the ground screaming in agony.

These men were covered in blood and injured; some had their fingers severed, while others had been stabbed. One of them was clutching his eye, blood seeping uncontrollably from between his fingers. On the ground beside him lay a broken eyeball, covered in dust.

Standing beside these men were three women. One of them had her eyebrows raised and was cursing, while the other two women also had fierce expressions on their pretty faces.

Ok?

Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

The people lying on the ground were still wailing in pain.

"Get out of here! If I ever run into you again, I'll chop off your arms and legs."

The woman in the lead shouted angrily.

Upon hearing the woman's stern shout, the group shuddered and fled, looking utterly miserable.

One of the onlookers remarked.

"Who are these three women? They're so ruthless."

"They are from the Emei Sect."

This was the opening statement from a man with a Sichuan accent.

Upon hearing him speak, all eyes turned to him.

"Brother, isn't the Emei Sect all male disciples now? When did we start having female disciples?"

One person asked.

The man with the Sichuan accent said, "Don't you know? The Emei Sect has changed. The sect leader has been replaced, and now the entire Emei Sect is full of female disciples."

The news of the internal strife within the Emei Sect has not yet spread throughout the world. So far, it is only known among major sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, and the Five Sacred Mountains Sword Sect, as well as among martial artists in Sichuan. Martial artists in other places have not yet received the news.

"what?"

The others were quite surprised to hear this news.

Although the Emei Sect, which was previously under the control of Master Jinguang, did not travel much in the martial arts world, it was still a large sect. How could it change so suddenly?

"Brother, what's going on? Tell us."

someone asked.

The man with a Sichuan accent shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but I do know that the Emei Sect has a new leader."

"Some time ago, the new leader of the Emei Sect led his disciples to sweep through the bandit strongholds in Sichuan. It was a huge operation, just like the Yama King's campaign against bandits a couple of years ago. They wiped them out one by one with blood."

Upon hearing the man's words, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

The man with the Sichuan accent clicked his tongue and said, "You don't know, the Emei Sect is different now than before. These Emei disciples are all very fierce. I heard that even if bandits beg for mercy, it's useless. Even if they escape, they will be chased to death by them."

"So fierce?"

Everyone around stared wide-eyed.

Are all the female disciples of Emei like them?

The man with the Sichuan accent pursed his lips and shook his head upon hearing this.

"These three are lucky. If they had encountered other female disciples of Emei, they would have lost their lives. Do you know what they like to say most often?"

The people around shook their heads.

The man said, "They say 'extermination, extermination,' meaning to completely eradicate evil and heresy."

Upon hearing his words, the surrounding martial arts figures exchanged bewildered glances.

It feels like the major righteous sects are starting to become sinister.

Previously, the Huashan Sect produced Ning Yanwang, a ruthless killer; now, every member of the Emei Sect is a female demon.

"Isn't the Emei Sect afraid of attracting trouble by being so flamboyant now?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

The man with a Sichuan accent said in a low voice, "I heard that the Emei Sect and the Five Poisons Sect clashed recently."

He spoke very softly, and only a few people nearby could hear him, but those people stared wide-eyed when they heard him.

"They've clashed with the Five Poisons Sect?"

The Five Poisons Sect is a major sect that has established itself in the southwest. Now, the Emei Sect has actually clashed with the Five Poisons Sect.

"So what was the result?"

Some people couldn't help but ask further questions.

"I don't know either, I just heard it from others."

The man shook his head: "I heard that the leader of the Five Poisons Sect is not in Sichuan. I don't know what happened in the end. I knew that the Five Poisons Sect was not very active afterward. They must have suffered some losses."

Even without knowing the outcome, his words were enough to shock everyone, including Jiang Ning, who was not far away.

The Emei Sect actually had a conflict with the Five Poisons Sect?

Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised.

At this moment

"let's go."

The leading Emei female disciple spoke, and the other two female disciples also sheathed their swords.

Just as the three were about to leave, the female disciple in the lead turned around and saw Jiang Ning. She paused for a moment, then nodded slightly to Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning also felt that the female disciple looked familiar, and then recognized her as one of the people who had supported Mount Hua last time. Judging from this, she must have recognized him as well.

"Greetings, three senior sisters."

Jiang Ning smiled.

"Junior brother is fine too."

The female disciple also said that the other two Emei female disciples did not know who Jiang Ning was, but they returned the greeting.

"Junior brother, we have something to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."

The Emei disciple continued.

"Take care, senior sisters."

Jiang Ning smiled.

The female disciple then left with her two junior sisters, without exchanging many words with Jiang Ning.

"Senior sister, who was that person just now? Was he a junior brother from the Huashan Sect?"

After the three had walked some distance, one of the female disciples asked curiously.

Now that the Emei Sect and the Huashan Sect have formed an alliance, it is not inappropriate for the two sects to address each other as "senior sister" and "junior brother," as it shows closer kinship. Therefore, when this female disciple called Jiang Ning "junior brother," they knew that Jiang Ning was a disciple of the Huashan Sect.

The Emei female disciple, who was addressed as "Senior Sister," nodded.

"That is Jiang Ning."

"what?"

Upon hearing her words, the two junior sisters' eyes widened instantly.

"Is he Ning Yanwang?"

The senior student nodded.

The two junior female students were quite excited upon receiving confirmation.

"He looks quite handsome and doesn't seem that fierce."

"Senior sister, why are you shaking?"

At this moment, a junior female student noticed that something was wrong.

The female disciple, who was called "senior sister," was trembling slightly, and her palms were sweating.

"I wasn't shaking."

Upon hearing this, the senior sister immediately spoke up.

"Look at you, you don't actually like him, do you?"

However, her two junior sisters did not believe her and looked at her suspiciously.

Jiang Ning is young, highly skilled in martial arts, and although his appearance isn't particularly outstanding, he is still handsome. It's normal for people to have a good impression of such a young and talented person.

However, after hearing her junior's words, the senior sister shook her head vigorously, showing no embarrassment at having her thoughts exposed.

She wasn't acting this way because she liked Jiang Ning, but because she was nervous.

Instead, she remembered the time when Jiang Ning led them and the Taoists from Qingcheng Mountain to ambush the group that bought supplies. She had personally witnessed Jiang Ning crush a person's head with his bare hands, and Jiang Ning standing in the enemy camp covered in blood, surrounded by countless corpses. She still remembered that bloody scene.

Chapter 357: Ascending Mount Song

After saying goodbye to the three Emei female disciples, Jiang Ning continued to stroll around the streets.

Since sitting in the inn is boring anyway, it's good to go out for a walk.

Jiang Ning wandered around for a while longer, but nothing happened, so he prepared to return to the inn.

The Hengshan Sect is arriving today, and he needs to go back and prepare to welcome them.

"Sir, we're just running a small business."

At that moment, Jiang Ning heard a sound coming from not far away.

Upon hearing this sound, Jiang Ning unconsciously turned his gaze in that direction.

An elderly street vendor was pleading with a burly man.

"You're dawdling over eating at your place. Go ask around and see where I've ever paid for a meal?"

The burly man shouted.

"I advise you to just pay the money honestly."

At this moment, a passerby from the martial arts world saw this and spoke up.

"Why?"

Upon hearing someone ask him to pay, the burly man instinctively retorted.

"You just arrived here today, right?"

The martial arts expert sneered.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The burly man replied impatiently.

"You didn't know the Huashan Sect was here too?"
