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

Page 372

Upon seeing the door open, some of the children, who were still awake and others who were already asleep, were startled awake by Jiang Ning's action of opening the door. They all looked in this direction and instinctively backed away, their faces filled with fear.

The indoor environment was terrible, even stinking. The floor was covered in excrement and urine, and many children were covered in these filth.

It's easy to imagine that these children basically live and eat here. Given the environment and the injuries on their bodies, many of them are on the verge of death. Jiang Ning turned his head and looked at them, his gaze suddenly widening in surprise.

Several more children lay quietly in the corner, without making a sound or moving, clearly dead.

Saw this scene.

Jiang Ning's pupils contracted sharply, and his usually calm face became somewhat ferocious, with anger burning in his eyes.

Chapter 497: Rescuing the Little Beggar (Bonus Chapter 1/16 for Louis Likes Oranges)

The children didn't know who Jiang Ning was and thought he was there to beat them up again, so they huddled in the corner and looked at Jiang Ning in fear.

Jiang Ning closed his eyes upon seeing this, then opened them again.

"You all come out with me."

Without explaining anything, Jiang Ning simply said one sentence.

The children were bewildered, not understanding why Jiang Ning wanted them to go out, but they were very obedient, either walking or crawling, moving very slowly.

It wasn't until they all came out that they discovered several dead people outside, all of whom were Beggars' Sect disciples guarding them.

Upon seeing the corpses, the children were all horrified, their eyes filled with fear and confusion as they looked at Jiang Ning.

The commotion here has already attracted attention.

A large group of Beggars' Sect disciples ran over. When they saw Jiang Ning bringing out these children and were shocked to see the corpses on the ground, they all questioned him.

"Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in my Beggars' Sect?"

Jiang Ning looked at these people without answering. He simply raised his hand, placed it on the hilt of his sword, gripped it with his five fingers, and pulled it out. The Zhenwu Sword was immediately drawn.

Zheng~

The sound of the sword rubbing against its scabbard was very clear, and the Zhenwu Sword, with its blade exposed, exuded a chilling aura.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning's action, the Beggars' Sect disciples exchanged glances and then charged forward.

call out!

Jiang Ning slashed diagonally with his sword, unleashing a sword aura that swept away with an aura of fear.

puff!puff!puff!

The sword energy struck the oncoming Beggar Clan disciples, cutting them in two, their blood spraying into the air like a rain of blood.

The other Beggars' Sect disciples who witnessed this scene looked at Jiang Ning in horror.

This is a true top-tier master!

Upon discovering that Jiang Ning was a top-tier expert, the Beggar Clan disciples became hesitant and looked at Jiang Ning with apprehension.

Jiang Ning didn't look at them, but turned to look at the children.

"You guys come with me."

The children were stunned; their eyes held a multitude of emotions, but none of them showed the fear one might expect from seeing a corpse.

After hearing Jiang Ning's words, the children looked at him blankly.

At this point, they no longer understood who Jiang Ning was, nor why he wanted to kill those who usually bullied them, but they could understand one thing now.

Jiang Ning harbored no ill will towards them.

The children looked at the people who usually bullied them and then tried their best to walk or crawl behind Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning took a step forward, and the Beggar Clan disciples opposite him took a step back. Jiang Ning took another step forward, and the Beggar Clan disciples took another step back. The children followed closely behind Jiang Ning.

The disciples of the Beggars' Sect branch were wary of Jiang Ning and dared not make a move until a master arrived.

And so, with one side advancing and the other retreating, they soon reached the main gate.

Jiang Ning also saw Linghu Chong.

At this moment, Linghu Chong was wreaking havoc in the crowd.

"Leaving Sword Style!"

Linghu Chong shouted and unleashed the Dugu Nine Swords. His figure weaved through the crowd, and one Beggar Clan disciple after another died at his hands.

"Little junior brother!"

Upon seeing Jiang Ning, Linghu Chong ceased his fighting. Guided by his inner strength, he leaped up, caught the empty sword, and retreated, arriving beside Jiang Ning in a few leaps.

"Senior Brother, are you still holding on?"

Jiang Ning glanced at Linghu Chong.

It was Linghu Chong who attracted a lot of attention here, which is why not many people went to his side, but he was worried that Linghu Chong's internal energy was not strong enough.

Linghu Chong chuckled.

"Killing him for hundreds more rounds wouldn't be a problem."

Although he had not yet mastered the Zixia Divine Skill and his internal strength was not as profound as Jiang Ning's, he was still a first-rate master. With the Dugu Nine Swords by his side, killing these small fry was no problem at all.

Linghu Chong glanced at the children who had come with Jiang Ning, and even he felt a pang of unease upon seeing their appearance.

"Junior brother, have they all been rescued?"

Jiang Ning nodded, glancing at the children and then at the Beggar Clan disciples surrounding them.

The Beggars' Sect members opposite suddenly surged forward, making way for them. Several people then stepped forward, their expressions turning angry when they saw Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong, along with the dozens of children beside them.

"Are you from the Huashan Sect? What are you doing at my Beggars' Sect branch? Where are you taking them?"

"Master Xu shouted sternly."

Jiang Ning remained silent, while Linghu Chong let out a cold snort.

"I never change my name or surname; your grandfather is none other than Linghu Chong, a disciple of the Huashan Sect!"

"Linghu Chong?"

Upon hearing his words, Chief Xu frowned.

Although he was the leader of the Yanping branch of the Beggars' Sect, he had lived in Yanping Prefecture for a long time and didn't care much about the affairs of the martial arts world. He knew about the Huashan Sect, but he didn't know anything about Linghu Chong. He only knew that the leader of the Huashan Sect was Yue Buqun, and Ning Yanwang, who had become famous in the martial arts world in recent years. He didn't know anything else.

However, Chief Xu ignored all of this and demanded, "Since you are a disciple of Mount Hua, and we all belong to the righteous path, why are you causing trouble in my Beggars' Sect? Does your Mount Hua Sect intend to become an enemy of my Beggars' Sect?"

"right way?"

Linghu Chong sneered but before he could speak, Jiang Ning spoke up.

"You dare call yourselves the righteous path?"

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Chief Xu looked over and frowned.

"Who are you?"

The Qinglian envoy, who had been silent until now, suddenly exclaimed in surprise and looked at Jiang Ning, asking, "You are Jiang Ning?"

"Jiangning?"

The group, led by Chief Xu, exchanged bewildered glances, momentarily stunned. Just as they were about to ask who Jiang Ning was, the Azure Lotus Envoy, looking at Jiang Ning's face with even greater certainty, revealed a hint of surprise.

"Are you King Ning?"

This time they understood and looked at Jiang Ning with shock in their eyes.

"Messenger, is he Ning Yanwang?"

Chief Xu looked surprised.

At this moment, the Azure Lotus Envoy's face turned pale, and as he looked at Jiang Ning, a conversation he had once had with Jie Feng came to mind.

……

"Father, Ning Yanwang is so skilled in martial arts and so righteous in his hatred of evil. What if he finds out that our Beggars' Sect is involved in human trafficking and mutilation and causes trouble for our sect?"

“There’s nothing to worry about. My Beggars’ Sect is a righteous sect. My father and the abbot of Shaolin Temple have a deep friendship. We are all righteous. Even Shaolin Temple wants to win over my Beggars’ Sect. What is a Huashan Sect? It’s none of our business if he kills evil people. Let him do it. But if he dares to interfere with my Beggars’ Sect’s affairs, let’s put everything else aside and see if Headmaster Yue has the guts to withstand the wrath of tens of thousands of members of my Beggars’ Sect.”

……

The conversation echoed in his mind, but the Azure Lotus Envoy's face grew paler and paler.

father.

Ning Yanwang has really come looking for trouble with my Beggars' Sect.

Jiang Ning did not respond to Xu's words, nor would he answer the words of a dead man.

Jiang Ning looked back at the children.

"You guys go out first."

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, the children all went outside the gate.

Although Xu, the leader of the gang, and others witnessed this scene, none of them dared to make a move due to Jiang Ning's fearsome reputation, and could only watch helplessly as he did so.

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Pingzhi, who was not far away, immediately took the child he had rescued during the day and went over.

"Senior brother."

Lin Pingzhi said something.

Jiang Ning said to Lin Pingzhi, "Take good care of them."

After speaking, Jiang Ning looked at the children again.

At this moment, all the children looked up at him without saying a word.

"Wait till I come out."

Jiang Ning said something to them, then closed the door of the Beggars' Sect branch.

boom!

The door is closed.

Jiang Ning turned to look at the Qinglian Envoy, Chief Xu, and the others. His face had returned to calm, but this did not mean that he had calmed down.

His anger burned within him, and the calmer his face appeared, the more intense his rage became.

Chapter 498: Slaughter and Devastation

"Does your Huashan Sect want to be enemies with my Beggars' Sect?!"

Upon seeing Jiang Ning close the gate, Chief Xu and the others felt a tremor in their hearts, and Chief Xu couldn't help but ask.

Although I had heard of Jiangning's reputation before, it was only when I actually saw it in reality, especially when I was on the opposite side, that I could feel the pressure.

The palms of Chief Xu and the others were sweating.

Jiang Ning glanced at the group of people and drew his sword.

Upon seeing Jiang Ning's action, the Beggars' Sect members opposite him instinctively took a step back, but Linghu Chong was very excited.

call out!

Jiangning has made a move.

Seeing this, Linghu Chong drew his sword again and charged forward.

"kill!"

"There's no way to resolve this peacefully," Chief Xu and the others gritted their teeth and shouted.

It's impossible for them to be scared away without even fighting. No matter how famous they are, Chief Xu will only know after he's fought them.

Upon hearing Chief Xu's words, the Beggars' Sect disciples shouted and charged forward.

The two sides quickly approached each other.

Jiang Ning was even faster, his figure moving like a blur, and he plunged headfirst into the crowd of Beggars' Sect members.

call out!
