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

Page 277

Many disciples of Mount Song were enraged upon hearing the words of this martial arts figure and drew their swords to cause him trouble. However, after finishing his rant, the martial arts figure shrank back into the crowd.

"Cowardless rat!"

A disciple from Mount Song pointed his sword at the assembled heroes, his anger flaring.

"What kind of man dares to say it but not admit it? If you've got the guts, stand up and fight me for three hundred rounds!"

The Songshan disciple was furious and wished he could rush down and find the person who had insulted the Songshan Sect to fight to the death.

The disciple of the Songshan Sect shouted angrily, and some martial arts practitioners had already recognized him.

This is a disciple of Mount Song nicknamed "Thousand-Foot Pine," named Shi Dengda.

"hehe."

Some people in the martial arts world sneered.

He was just a lowly disciple of Songshan Mountain, yet he dared to shout at so many people present. Such arrogant behavior aroused the dissatisfaction of many people, and some immediately made sarcastic remarks.

"No wonder the three sects of Huashan, Hengshan, and Taishan hate your Songshan Sect so much. A mere Songshan disciple is so arrogant in front of so many heroes and warriors. Not to mention how your Songshan Sect has been so domineering within the Five Mountains Sword Sects. It is not surprising that you could ambush and overthrow allied sects."

One person spoke sarcastically, which enraged Stendhal. He looked towards the area where the voice came from and pointed his sword at it.

"Who's speaking! If you have the guts, step forward instead of hiding your head and tail."

As soon as Stendhal finished speaking, someone stood up.

"So what if it was Lao Tzu who said it?"

A burly man with thick eyebrows and a large beard stood up and retorted without any politeness.

When Stendhal saw someone step forward, he immediately started cursing at them.

"Who do you think you are? Do you think you're qualified to lecture my Songshan Sect?"

"I'm nothing. All I know is that your Songshan Sect has done things to the Huashan, Taishan, and Hengshan Sects that are even more ruthless than the Demonic Sect. You're hypocritical and no different from animals. What's wrong with me saying a few words because I can't stand it? Bah!"

As he spoke, the burly man with a thick beard spat on the ground.

"you!"

Stendhal was furious and raised his sword to kill him, but Zuo Lengchan stopped him.

"stop!"

Stendhal was stopped and had no choice but to retreat angrily.

Although there was anger in Zuo Lengchan's eyes, he restrained himself.

No matter what, the Songshan Sect cannot attack these onlookers; otherwise, they would be pushing them to the opposite side, and no matter how the Songshan Sect explains, they will not believe it.

We need to use other methods to deal with these people.

Zuo Lengchan secretly gave a wink to one of the people in the crowd, who immediately stood up and retorted.

"Brother, isn't it too early to draw such a conclusion now?"

The man looked at the burly man with a bushy beard and said, "Who knows if this is a trick by the Demonic Sect? Perhaps the Demonic Sect wants to cause infighting among the Five Mountains Sword Sects, so they did these things to frame Alliance Leader Zuo? After all, Alliance Leader Zuo has been the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance for so many years, and the Five Mountains Sword Sects are mortal enemies of the Demonic Sect. It is not surprising that the Demonic Sect would do such a thing. Their goal is to split the Five Mountains Sword Sects."

After this person spoke, others began to agree, and these people got into another argument.

Zuo Lengchan breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing this, and then said to Yue Buqun.

“Brother Yue, Mr. Mo, I, Zuo, have never done what you have said, nor have I ever sent anyone to hunt you down, nor have I sent anyone to be a spy for the Huashan Sect. There may be a misunderstanding here. I will explain and clarify this with you two later. Now it is my Songshan Sect and Taishan Sect settling our sect feud. I ask that neither of the two sects interfere. Otherwise, don’t blame the Songshan Sect for disregarding the centuries-old friendship between the two sects.”

Although Zuo Lengchan maintained his previous tone, it now carried a hint of firmness.

"Ah."

Yue Buqun chuckled and opened his folding fan, waving it around.

"Whether it was the Left Sect Leader's doing or not, the Left Sect Leader knows perfectly well. Do you think I don't know what you've done? I've endured humiliation for so many years, and today I'll settle the score with you."

It's impossible not to intervene. Now that Tianmen Daoist has made his stance clear, Yue Buqun can't just stand by and watch, otherwise he'll be sending Tianmen Daoist to his death.

"So what do you want now?"

Zuo Lengchan's expression also turned cold.

Just as Yue Buqun was about to speak, he saw more than a dozen nuns running up the mountain in a hurry, shouting as they ran.

"The Demonic Cult is attacking!"

"The Demonic Cult is attacking!"

Chapter 370: The Demonic Cult

"Hey, aren't these people from the Hengshan Sect?"

Many people recognized the dozen or so nuns when they saw them running up the mountain.

"What are they doing? Why are they in such a hurry?"

Someone wondered.

"The Demonic Cult has launched a massive attack!"

These Hengshan disciples ran and shouted, their voices urgent. As they drew closer, their voices reached the Fengchan Platform, allowing everyone to hear them clearly.

"what?"

"The Demonic Cult has launched an attack?"

The group of martial arts practitioners were shocked when they heard this, and it immediately caused a commotion.

Even Fang Zheng couldn't help but show surprise when he heard this.

They, the Shaolin Temple, received no prior notice.

"how is this possible?"

Chongxu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately spoke to the witness.

"Abbot, is it Dongfang Bubai leading the Demonic Sect to attack our righteous path?"

Fang Zheng's face was gloomy, and he shook his head slightly.

"This old monk doesn't know either."

Seeing him like this, Chongxu frowned deeply.

"The Demonic Sect hasn't made any major moves in all these years, so why would they suddenly launch a large-scale attack?"

The diagnosis was also completely baffling.

After the dozen or so Hengshan disciples arrived at the Fengchan Platform, they looked around and one of them headed straight for the Huashan Sect's camp.

"Sect Leader Yue."

The Hengshan disciple approached Yue Buqun anxiously and said, "The Demonic Sect has gathered a large force and is heading towards Mount Song."

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun disregarded everything else and hurriedly asked, "Where are Abbess Dingxian and the others? Where is your Hengshan Sect located now?"

The Hengshan disciple dared not delay and quickly answered.

"Our sect leader and my master are at the foot of Mount Song. My master told us to go up the mountain first to inform Sect Leader Yue."

Yue Buqun frowned and asked, "You say the Demonic Sect is launching a major attack, but do you know who is coming? Is it Dongfang Bubai?"

The Hengshan disciple shook his head rapidly, speaking at an extremely fast pace.

"I don't know. My Hengshan Sect originally planned to set off from Hengshan to attend the Five Mountains Alliance Conference, but we suddenly received news that the Demonic Sect was making unusual moves. Our sect leader sent people to investigate and found that a large number of Demonic Sect members were heading from Hebei towards Songshan. So my master and sect leader were delayed."

After hearing her words, Yue Buqun frowned deeply.

Starting from Hebei, that's Heimu Cliff.

Could it be Dongfang Bubai?

While this Hengshan disciple was explaining the situation to Yue Buqun, other Hengshan disciples also spread the news, and the leaders of other major sects also learned about it.

"Abbot, what should we do?"

Kunlun Sect Leader Zhenshanzi confronted Fang Zhengdao.

Fang Zheng frowned and remained silent for a moment before saying, "I don't know why the Demonic Sect has mobilized so many troops this time. Let's send someone to negotiate first."

At this time, the leaders of various sects were also digesting this news.

"Senior brother, the Demonic Sect is attacking! What should we do?"

Lu Bai came to Zuo Lengchan's side and said.

Now, the Songshan Sect, Huashan Sect, Taishan Sect, and Hengshan Sect are about to clash, and now the Demonic Sect has arrived. They don't know what to do.

Zuo Lengchan remained silent, but he also sensed that the situation was becoming extremely difficult.

Demonic cult?

Jiang Ning, who was still adjusting his breathing with his eyes closed to adapt to his body after breaking through to the fourth level of the Innate Skill, opened his eyes.

Jiang Ning looked down the mountain, his gaze piercing through the clouds, as if he could see a dark mass of shadows below.

"What is the Demonic Sect doing here at this time?"

"Could it be that they know the Five Mountains Sword Sects are electing a new leader and want to wipe them all out, so they've launched a massive attack?"

The impending arrival of the Demonic Sect instilled a sense of panic among the martial arts practitioners present, and they were all discussing it amongst themselves.

Some people wanted to escape, and the huge Fengchan Terrace began to become chaotic.

At this moment, another group of people came up from the foot of the mountain, and judging from their attire, they were from the Hengshan Sect.

The arrival of the Hengshan Sect calmed down the somewhat agitated martial arts practitioners at the scene.

All eyes turned to the Hengshan Sect.

The Hengshan Sect was led by three nuns, two of whom were Master Dingyi and Master Dingjing.

At this moment, the two were standing behind a nun, slightly behind her.

"Everyone, the Hengshan Sect is late, please forgive us."

The nun at the head of the group gave a simple bow to everyone and then went to the center of the crowd.

"Everyone, I'm afraid something unexpected is going to happen today. A large force of the Demonic Sect is heading towards Mount Song. I urge Abbot, Daoist Chongxu, and all the sect leaders to be prepared."

"Ning'er, come with me."

Yue Buqun said something to Jiang Ning, and then headed towards the nun.

Jiang Ning followed immediately.

"Master Dingxian, do you know who from the Demonic Sect has come this time? Is it Dongfang Bubai?"

At this moment, the leaders of many major sects, including Kunlun and Diancang, also gathered together. Zhenshanzi, the leader of Kunlun, asked the question first.

This nun is none other than Dingxian, the current head of the Hengshan Sect.

"This humble nun does not know either."

Master Dingxian shook her head with a solemn expression.

Many righteous masters did not doubt what Master Dingxian said. Since the other party said that a large number of people from the Demonic Sect had come, it was basically true.

What Fang Zheng, Chongxu, and other righteous leaders are most worried about is whether Dongfang Bubai will personally lead the demonic sect to Mount Song.

"Please discuss your countermeasures. In my opinion, the Demonic Sect will probably arrive in less than an hour."

Master Dingxian continued.

"Master Fang Zheng, what should we do now?"

The Beggars' Sect leader, Xie Feng, was the first to look at Fang Zheng, and the other sect leaders also looked over.

Shaolin has always been the leader of the righteous path. Now that the demonic cult has attacked, it is up to Shaolin to lead everyone in the fight.

"This……"

Fang Zheng frowned, glancing at the Huashan, Taishan, and Songshan sects, feeling a bit of a headache.

The Demonic Sect didn't come earlier or later, but of all times, leaving him somewhat at a loss.

Meanwhile, many of the martial arts practitioners present had already headed down the mountain.
