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

Jiang Ning turned around and looked at him, his eyes narrowing.

"Master Hu?"

It is Hu Shi of the Iron Palm Sect.

"Stop it all!"

Hu Shi shouted at the group of thugs.

Upon hearing his words, the thugs all stopped and came over to Hu Shi.

Hu Shi looked at Jiang Ning's grim expression and said, "Brother Jiang, what do you mean by this?"

The Huashan disciples who had fought valiantly also gathered in Jiangning.

Seeing that all the brothel thugs obeyed Hu Shi's words, Jiang Ning understood. After hearing Hu Shi's words, Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are all the brothels here your Iron Palm Sect's?"

Hu Shi nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“That’s right. They’ve come to pay homage to my Iron Palm Sect and give us monthly tributes, so of course it’s ours.”

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes even more: "So you also know that they force good women into prostitution and compel these poor women to sell their bodies?"

Hu Shi frowned upon hearing this and said, "I know, so what?"

"Have you all lost your conscience? How can you treat them like this? How can they possibly survive?"

Upon hearing this, a female disciple of Mount Hua couldn't help but erupt in anger.

Hu Shi frowned as he looked at her, then turned to Jiang Ning and said, "Isn't that how the world is? Who cares whether they live or die?"

"Is this how it is? Doesn't anyone care whether they live or die?"

"Since no one else is in charge, then I will. The Huashan Sect will take charge."

Jiang Ning looked at Hu Shi and said, word by word.

Hu Shi was stunned for a moment, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"That's how the world is, what can you do about it? You think you can control everything? Do you think your Huashan Sect is any better? Haven't you done the same thing? Aren't you just after our property and trying to seize it? Why are you pretending to be so righteous?"

Hu Shi felt that Jiang Ning's words were all high-sounding, but in his view, it was obvious that the Huashan Sect coveted their property and wanted to take it over.

"He insulted my Huashan Sect!"

Before Jiang Ning could speak, Linghu Chong objected, glaring angrily at Hu Shi with his large eyes, and thrust his sword at Hu Shi, determined to take his life.

Seeing the incredibly fast sword strike before him, Hu Shi's eyes flashed with panic; he couldn't block it.

How come this person's martial arts skills are so high?

Just as Linghu Chong was about to take his life with a sword, a burly figure appeared from the side and struck Linghu Chong's wrist with a palm. Linghu Chong cried out in pain, and he could barely hold onto his sword, but he still endured the pain and retreated.

"What exactly is the purpose of your Huashan Sect coming to my Xiangyang?"

Hu Anyu looked at Jiang Ning with a sinister expression and said, "Your Huashan Sect dares to do such an innocent attack on a fellow cultivator. Doesn't your Sect Leader Yue want to come out and explain?"

What needs to be explained?

Just as Jiang Ning was about to speak, a voice came from the rooftop not far away. Yue Buqun leaped from the rooftop to Jiang Ning and smiled faintly.

"Sect Leader Yue."

Hu Anyu said with a grim expression, "I have never offended your Huashan Sect, so what do you mean by this?"

"Ah."

Yue Buqun laughed and said, "Didn't my disciple already make it very clear before? Your Iron Palm Sect forced women into prostitution, causing these women to lose their families and lives. My Huashan Sect is a righteous sect. My disciples were just helping these poor women out of injustice. Is that clear enough?"

"Sect Leader Hu, you were once a hero, how could you do such a heinous thing when you're practically in your grave?"

At this point, Yue Buqun's face turned cold, and he said sternly to Hu Anyu.

"Have you forgotten what you once said about saving the people of the world? Is this how you save them? Your Iron Palm Sect and the Xiangyang Prefecture government are colluding, wielding absolute power in Xiangyang. These women's families have been destroyed, their lives ruined, with no way to seek justice, no one to speak up for them, turning them into your money-making tools, and in the end, they themselves starve to death. How is what you are doing any different from the Demonic Sect? Aren't you afraid of going to hell after you die?!"

Hu Anyu's face was grim. After a moment, he said, "People always change."

Yue Buqun sneered, "Yes, he's become vicious. The Plum Blossom Palm Hu Anyu who was once wholeheartedly devoted to the people has turned into a beast who only knows how to exploit the people."

Juan Yu angrily retorted, "Are you really any better than the Huashan Sect?"

Yue Buqun chuckled coldly and remained silent.

While other Yue Buqun might not be so certain, if Hu Anyu were to say this, then Yue Buqun could confidently say that their Huashan Sect had never done such a thing.

If the Huashan Sect were like the Iron Palm Sect, they wouldn't be so poor.

"Alright, Sect Leader Yue, I don't want to antagonize your Huashan Sect. You may leave. I, Sect Leader Tie, will pretend I never saw what happened today."

Hu Anyu said with a gloomy expression.

"father!"

Hu Shi looked anxious and hurriedly called out, but was interrupted by Hu Anyu. He had no choice but to remain silent, his eyes fixed on Jiang Ning across from him with a sinister look, the meaning in his eyes quite obvious.

"Ah."

Linghu Chong sneered, "Let us leave? I'm telling you right now, I'm not leaving until all the demons and monsters here are wiped out!"

"Yes, that's right!"

"We're just like our senior brother!"

Although Jiang Ning didn't speak, his eyes were cold, and he showed no intention of leaving.

Hearing the words of his disciples behind him, Yue Buqun remained silent.

Actually, he felt that this was enough, but now the Huashan disciples were all bloodthirsty and bursting with a sense of justice, refusing to back down no matter what.

But this also made him feel gratified.

Seeing the Huashan Sect's reckless attitude, the Iron Palm Sect's face darkened. He said, "Since you insist on this, don't blame me for being ruthless. Don't think that just because you're one of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, I'm afraid of you!"

"Your Huashan Sect is no longer what it used to be. If it were any of the other Five Mountains Sword Sects here, I might be wary, but your Huashan Sect only has a few dozen people. Do you really think you can eliminate us?"

Yue Buqun gave a faint smile.

"Whether it can be removed or not, we'll find out by trying."

Having said that, Yue Buqun flicked his wrist, and his entire body shot straight toward Hu Anyu like an arrow released from a bow.

"I've been wanting to see if Yue Buqun, the Gentleman Sword, truly lives up to his name."

Hu Anyu sneered, and seeing Yue Buqun charging towards him, he went straight to meet him, using his signature Plum Blossom Palm technique to fight Yue Buqun.

"kill!"

Hu Shi's expression was cold. He raised his hand and waved it, and the thugs behind him attacked the Huashan disciples again.

Chapter 50: Public Anger

when!

Swords clashed, and a thug wielding a large sword slashed at Jiang Ning.

"what!"

The thug's arm veins bulged, and he shouted angrily, intending to fight Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning glanced at him, then suddenly pulled back to the side, causing the thug to lose his balance and fall forward. Jiang Ning raised his wrist and swung the sword horizontally, causing the thug's neck to hit the sword directly. Jiang Ning pulled him away, then stopped looking at him and turned to attack the others.

"what!"

Just as Yue Lingshan was about to continue her attack after killing one person, a gust of wind swept in from the side. She turned her head and saw a burly man wielding a large knife sneaking up on her while she wasn't paying attention. The knife was about to strike her head.

Yue Lingshan's pupils contracted.

At the critical moment, a long sword flew out from the crowd outside, piercing the neck of the big man, and a figure also leaped out from the crowd.

"mother!"

After experiencing such a dramatic turn of events, Yue Lingshan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the person who had arrived.

“I’ve always told you to practice more, but your vigilance is so poor. Go back and train even harder.”

Ning Zhongze didn't waste any time chatting. He pulled his sword from the corpse and began to attack the thugs who had attacked the brothel and the members of the Iron Palm Sect.

Ning Zhongze's strength reached the level of a first-class master, slightly weaker than Yue Buqun. Her arrival was like a tiger entering a flock of sheep. Among the Iron Palm Sect members, most of whom had not even reached the level of a third-class master, she was like a ghost, not to mention those brothel thugs who only knew a little bit of fist and footwork. Her killing speed was the fastest in the entire scene.

Although Ning Zhongze was Yue Buqun's wife, she was also a genuine first-class martial arts master.

Her original plan was to help Yue Buqun subdue Hu Anyu as soon as possible, but she found that the Huashan disciples were under increasing pressure, so she had to step in to help them relieve the pressure.

With Ning Zhongze joining the team, the pressure on the Huashan disciples was greatly reduced.

puff!

With a single sword strike, Jiang Ning killed yet another brothel thug.

A scream rang out from not far away. Jiang Ning turned his head and saw a member of the Iron Palm Sect trying to pull a prostitute in an inconspicuous corner.

"It just so happens that I need someone at home. I'll take you back to serve me. Things are so chaotic here right now, the sect leader and the others won't know."

The Iron Palm Sect member looked at the beautiful courtesan with a sinister smile and said.

"Listen to me obediently, or I'll kill you right now."

The courtesan looked at him in terror, and when she saw him reach out to grab her hand, a look of despair appeared on her face.

Although the ultimate fate of someone in a brothel is to starve to death, at least they can survive for a while. But if someone takes them home, their fate is uncertain.

Just as she was despairing and preparing to accept reality, the sinister smile on the person opposite her froze, and then he made no further move.

The courtesan looked down and saw a weapon stained with the blood of countless people protruding from the man's chest, before disappearing again a second later.

The body fell, and behind him stood a man. The courtesan looked over, and the man's image was deeply imprinted in her mind.

At this moment, his robes were stained with blood, the blood droplets like blood flowers reflected vividly on his pale blue clothes, his longsword had also turned into a blood sword, his obsidian-like eyes were extremely cold, and a few drops of blood on his face made his face look somewhat eerie.

But the man only glanced at her, his cold expression softened slightly, and then he turned and left.

The courtesan stared blankly at the man.

Because this is the person who suddenly broke into the brothel tonight, killed all the people who had been oppressing and bullying them, and then returned their indentures to them, freeing them.

By this point, there were already hundreds of corpses lying on this brothel street tonight, all belonging to brothel thugs and members of the Iron Palm Sect.

The disciples of Mount Hua were still fighting, some of them were already exhausted, but they still did not stop.

Some of them had been there for a while, while others arrived later, but their expressions were all the same at this moment.

They had intervened in cases of injustice and chivalry before, but never before had they felt a burning fire within them upon seeing the women of the brothel after their masks were removed.

This kind of fighting among people in the martial arts world is not like a battlefield. The members of the Iron Palm Sect have not undergone strict military training and are filled with fear. People keep dying on their side, while the middle-aged beauty on the other side kills them like chickens, and they are helpless. Their sect leader, Hu Anyu, is being suppressed and beaten by the scholar-like middle-aged man on the other side. They are on the verge of collapse.

"Run!"

"Run!"

These people scattered and fled.

Seeing that everyone was running out of the street, the Huashan disciples breathed a sigh of relief. They were all panting heavily, some even exhausted, lying on the ground breathing heavily like broken bellows.

"Haha, hahahaha."

The disciples of Mount Hua looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

"That felt great, so great!"

Linghu Chong leaned on his sword, put one hand on his hip, and laughed loudly.

Seeing the group of people scatter and flee, Ning Zhongze gave up the idea of ​​pursuing them and instead turned around to help Yue Buqun capture Hu Anyu.

But the next second she saw a figure rush out and kill the group of people who were fleeing for their lives.

"Ning'er, what are you doing!"

"Little junior brother!"

Ning Zhongze exclaimed in surprise, and the other Huashan disciples also shouted.

“We must eradicate evil completely. If we let these people go today, they will hide in Xiangyang Prefecture like rats, and it will be a hundred times more difficult to find them again. After we leave, they will attack other innocent people. These people are aiding and abetting evil, oppressing and humiliating the people. If we don’t kill them all, they will always be a threat to these women and the people of Xiangyang Prefecture.”

Jiang Ning's voice, chilling with murderous intent, echoed back.
