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

Page 577

Moreover, Chongxu also had his own ulterior motives.

Jiang Ning is one of only two terrestrial immortals in the world to have reached the Innate Realm. If we can win Jiang Ning over to Wudang, then this ancestor will be worth recognizing.

Of course, Jiang Ning is now the leader of the Huashan Sect, so it's unrealistic to bring Wudang over. But as long as Jiang Ning can take care of Wudang in the future, even if the Huashan Sect rises to power, Wudang won't have too much of a hard time.

Even if Wudang encounters any difficulties in the future, they can still ask Jiang Ning for help.

Jiang Ning is only in his twenties and can live for at least eighty years. This means that his ancestor can take care of Wudang for eighty years. So even if something happens to Wudang during these eighty years, Jiang Ning will not sit idly by because of this relationship.

After considering all this, Chongxu decided it was worth it and went all in.

"Rest assured, Daoist Master."

Jiang Ning remained silent for a while before accepting the two manuals and saying, "These two manuals are the treasures of your sect and the foundation of Wudang. The Daoist trusts me and has given them to me, so I will not spread them."

Jiang Ning was already trying to create his own system of martial arts. The Pure Yang Limitless Skill was created by Zhang Sanfeng, and it had great reference and learning value for him. The gift that Chongxu gave was indeed heavy, so heavy that Jiang Ning felt a little ashamed.

Therefore, Jiang Ning made a guarantee to Chongxu here.

Chongxu smiled frankly and said, "I trust Master Jiang completely. The Pure Yang Limitless Skill is the highest mental technique of my Wudang Sect. It is indeed not to be passed on to others. I am very grateful for what Master Jiang said."

"However, there's no need to hide the Tai Chi manual."

Compared to the Pure Yang Wuji Gong, the Tai Chi Classics seem less important. Although it is also a peerless martial art created by Grandmaster Zhang Sanfeng, the Demonic Sect had already attacked Wudang Mountain decades ago and seized the Tai Chi Classics handwritten by the Grandmaster. Over the years, the Tai Chi Classics are probably no longer a secret, so it would be better to give it to Jiang Ning as well.

"The Tai Chi Classics are different from our sect's Pure Yang Wuji Gong. Pure Yang Wuji Gong is our sect's highest mental cultivation method and should not be easily passed on to others. However, the Tai Chi Classics are just a martial art. Our Wudang disciples for generations have not mastered it and have not been able to learn its true essence. If the Huashan Sect has a disciple with outstanding talent who can master Tai Chi, then the Huashan and Wudang Sects can have more exchanges, which would be a good thing to promote the development of martial arts in both sects."

Chongxu smiled calmly.

Chongxu's generosity left Jiang Ning speechless.

In short, Chongxu really surprised him this time.

When Jiang Ning told Yue Buqun about this incident, Yue Buqun was also completely bewildered by Chongxu's act of giving away the cultivation technique.

"This……"

Yue Buqun pondered for a long time but still couldn't understand why Chongxu had gone to such lengths.

"never mind."

Yue Buqun shook his head.

"Since he's done this, you can accept it. At worst, if anything happens to Wudang in the future, you can..."

Just as he finished speaking, Yue Buqun suddenly paused, then burst out laughing.

"I see."

Yue Buqun couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

Yue Buqun didn't spell out his meaning, but Jiang Ning understood and couldn't help but laugh.

"We need to be careful these next few days and keep an eye on Dongfang Bubai at all times."

As it grew late, Yue Buqun got up to leave and said to Jiang Ning.

"Master, don't worry."

Jiang Ning nodded.

Yue Buqun left.

Jiang Ning remained seated, thought for a moment, and then sat cross-legged on the bed to begin meditating.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye. The righteous people stationed in Pingding Prefecture were on high alert, guarding against any possible attack from the Demonic Cult. However, they did not find any signs of an attack from the Demonic Cult for several days.

On the contrary, the number of martial arts practitioners who came to participate in the attack on Blackwood Cliff has been increasing in the past few days. In just a few days, the number of people stationed in Pingding Prefecture has reached tens of thousands. Among them, in addition to the thousands of disciples of Wudang Sect, there are also many lay disciples from Shaolin.

Despite the Shaolin Temple's announcement of its closure, it still sent many lay disciples under these circumstances.

This scale far exceeds the number of people involved in the previous battle to eliminate Ren Woxing. Such a large-scale battle between good and evil is almost unprecedented in the history of the martial arts world. Even the scale of the siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects was not comparable to this.

Chapter 785: Gorilla Beach

As more and more martial arts figures gathered, it was time to begin the attack on Blackwood Cliff. On this day, Jiang Ning summoned everyone.

"After several days of rest, the time has come for the final battle against the Demonic Sect."

Jiang Ning looked at everyone and said.

"Today, we march on Blackwood Cliff!"

The martial arts practitioners who had been waiting for a long time were greatly excited upon hearing this.

They had long wanted to attack, and now that Jiang Ning had given the order, they all shouted in unison.

"Yes, it's a real person!"

Tens of thousands of people then marched in a mighty procession toward Blackwood Cliff.

Black Cliff is only a few dozen miles from Pingding Prefecture. Although it is not far, it still took a lot of time for tens of thousands of people to travel.

At this moment, Jiang Ning and a group of righteous martial arts practitioners arrived at a place where the rocks were as red as blood.

This is Gorilla Beach. Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong came here last time when they disguised themselves and joined Ren Woxing's group.

"Everyone be careful, Blackwood Cliff is not far from here."

Jiang Ning reminded everyone to be careful.

They were now close to Blackwood Cliff, and the group's hearts were filled with tension. Almost all of them were here for the first time, and even Chongxu had never been before.

Upon arriving at Orangutan Beach, Jiang Ning did not rush in but waited for the scouts to return before proceeding.

"Everyone be careful."

Linghu Chong gave instructions to several masters from various sects.

At this moment, he and these experts were ordered to scout ahead.

Although he did not see any members of the Demonic Cult at this moment, Linghu Chong did not dare to be careless.

"Young Master Linghu, are you familiar with this place?"

The experts from various sects who accompanied him were curious when they saw Linghu Chong's familiar demeanor.

"The sect leader and I once came here in disguise. Of course, my junior brother wasn't the sect leader back then."

Linghu Chong replied.

"I see."

The experts from all schools suddenly realized the truth, and at the same time, they marveled at Master Jiang's exceptional skills and daring, no wonder he had achieved what he had today.

At this moment, a road appeared in front of Linghu Chong and his companions, with smooth stone walls on both sides and only a few feet of narrow path in the middle.

"Everyone be careful, watch out for any cultists lying in ambush above the stone wall."

Linghu Chong gave his instructions.

The experts from various factions nodded, and the group approached the stone wall.

At this moment, Linghu Chong also activated the Zixia Divine Skill. With the blessing of the Zixia Divine Skill, his already keen hearing became even more outstanding. At this moment, he could hear the sound of flowing water in the far distance clearly, and no sound, no matter how faint, could escape his ears.

Ok?

Linghu Chong's expression suddenly changed; he realized something was wrong.

He could hear a great many breathing sounds coming from the stone wall in front of him.

These breathing sounds were very faint, clearly intentionally made to reduce the volume, and there were an extremely large number of them.

Someone is lying in ambush up there!

Linghu Chong's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted to remind the masters of various sects.

"Everyone be careful, there's an ambush!"

"what?"

Before the experts from various factions could react, the situation suddenly changed.

Suddenly, a row of members of the Demonic Cult appeared above the stone wall, wielding bows and arrows and shooting at Linghu Chong and his companions.

This situation caught all the masters off guard, but they were all top-notch experts with extraordinary reaction speeds. After Linghu Chong reminded them, they immediately drew their weapons and assumed defensive stances before the arrows even came.

when!when!when!

Countless arrows came flying, and the masters from all sides exerted their strength to knock the arrows off the ground.

Despite the dense rain of arrows, one person was still wounded.

"what!!"

A Kunlun Sect master screamed in agony as an arrow struck his arm, the wound rotting and stinking at a visible speed.

"Oh no! These arrows are poisoned!"

The other experts cried out in alarm. Seeing the expert who had been shot by an arrow screaming in agony, Linghu Chong reacted quickly, grabbing the arrow with one hand and pulling it out with a hiss. He then immediately slashed diagonally with his sword, cutting a large chunk of flesh from the wound where the Kunlun Sect expert had been shot.

The expert's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his lips were pale.

"Go back!"

Linghu Chong grabbed him and shouted at the others.

The group immediately retreated, and after they withdrew from the range of the arrow rain, the members of the demonic sect also stopped shooting arrows.

"Go! Go back!"

Linghu Chong's face turned grim.

The group dared not delay and retreated immediately.

The martial arts practitioners who had been waiting for a long time at Gorilla Beach finally saw Linghu Chong and his companions return.

"Master Jiang, Young Master Linghu and the others have returned."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning stepped forward and indeed saw Linghu Chong and the others, but then his gaze sharpened.

"Senior brothers, have you been ambushed?"

Jiang Ning frowned and asked.

"good."

Linghu Chong's face turned grim.

"Those demonic cultists were lying in ambush on the stone walls on both sides. We were attacked before we even stepped onto the stone walls, and this senior was even hit by a poisoned arrow."

Upon hearing Linghu Chong's words, everyone couldn't help but look at the injured man. They saw that a large chunk of flesh was missing from his arm, and his entire arm was stained red with blood, which looked quite horrifying.

When Zhenshanzi saw that the person was injured, his expression also became serious.

Jiang Ning frowned and remained silent. He quickly stepped forward to the injured person, grasped the injured arm with one hand, and began to channel his true energy to heal the person.

The expert's complexion gradually regained some color, and the excruciating pain in his arm seemed to lessen.

"Thank you, Master Jiang."

"This expert said weakly."

Jiang Ning shook his head to indicate that he was alright. At this moment, Abbess Dingyi stepped forward and handed him a small bottle.

"These are the White Cloud Bear Bile Pill and Heavenly Fragrance Broken Joint Glue, sacred healing medicines of my Hengshan Sect, which can treat injuries."

"Thank you, Master."

The Kunlun Sect expert thanked him in a low voice, and Zhenshanzi also expressed his gratitude from the side.

The Hengshan Sect's two healing artifacts are renowned throughout the martial arts world, and Dingyi should indeed be grateful for their availability.

Master Dingyi waved her hand.

"We are all righteous people, and now we are working together to eradicate the evil cult. How can my Hengshan Sect be so stingy with our meager healing items? They are nothing to us."

After taking the White Cloud Bear Bile Pill and applying the Heavenly Fragrance Rejuvenating Glue to the wound, the Kunlun Sect master's condition indeed stabilized quickly. However, he had lost his ability to fight, so Jiang Ning immediately had someone help him down to rest.

The expressions on everyone's faces didn't improve much either.

They also knew the news that Linghu Chong brought back. In that kind of terrain, the Demonic Sect ambushed on the stone wall with poisoned arrows, which was indeed very troublesome. Even top-level masters were hit by the poison. If they launched a direct attack, they would probably suffer heavy losses.

Everyone was waiting for Jiang Ning to give them a suggestion.
