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

"My injuries are nothing to worry about. Now that the Demonic Sect has been defeated, we should press our advantage and completely eliminate Ren Woxing."

"The abbot is right."

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun's expression turned serious, and he said, "Ren Woxing is currently retreating towards Wuwei Prefecture."

Everyone reached a consensus.

Yue Buqun then looked at Jiang Ning.

"Ning'er, you have used up too much of your internal energy. Why don't you rest here?"

During the great battle, Jiang Ning killed countless enemies in the rear of the Demonic Sect, but his internal energy was also greatly depleted. Yue Buqun wanted Jiang Ning to rest for the time being, while they pursued and killed Ren Woxing.

“Master, I am fine. It’s not too late to rest after I kill Ren Woxing.”

Jiang Ning shook his head.

His internal energy was indeed depleted, but he had experienced countless fierce battles, and he had not yet reached his limit.

"Ok."

Seeing Jiang Ning's insistence, Yue Buqun could only nod.

Just as everyone was about to set off, they saw several disciples of the Emei Sect escorting someone towards them.

"come over!"

"Your Majesty!"

These Emei disciples said coldly, as the man was forced by the Emei disciples to kneel down before the leaders of the various sects.

When everyone looked over, they discovered that the person kneeling down was actually the leader of the Diancang Sect.

"Amitabha."

A female voice rang out, and Abbess Qingzhu walked over.

"This person also wanted to retreat after seeing the Demonic Sect's defeat. I fought him for dozens of rounds and captured him. I brought him before you all to await the Alliance Leader's judgment."

Upon seeing this person, Yue Buqun's expression turned cold.

"Sect Leader Wu, you have joined Ren Woxing's ranks to aid and abet evil, betraying the righteous path. What do you have to say now?"

The leader of the Diancang Sect looked bitter upon hearing this.

"Alliance Leader Yue, I have no choice. If I don't agree, the centuries-old foundation of the Diancang Sect will be destroyed. I have no other option."

"Hmph! He's clearly just afraid of dying, why bother with such high-sounding words!"

Tianmen Daoist said coldly, "Since ancient times, good and evil have been irreconcilable. We righteous people take it as our duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path, and we will never waver until death. If your ancestors of Diancang Sect knew that you, as the sect leader, had joined the demonic sect, they would not rest in peace even in the afterlife!"

"Your brothers Xie and Liu were unyielding to the death, but I never expected that you, as the sect leader, would be so cowardly. I truly feel sorry for your brothers Xie and Liu."

Yue Buqun's expression was also cold.

The two swordsmen of Diancang were truly chivalrous, sacrificing themselves heroically for the greater good, but their sect leader was such a coward who feared death.

Yue Buqun's killing intent was intense.

Although the leaders of the other sects did not speak, they also looked down on the leader of the Diancang Sect.

Seeing Yue Buqun's murderous intent, the leader of the Diancang Sect was frightened and quickly looked at Fang Zheng.

"Abbot, I know I was wrong. Please, Abbot, speak on my behalf and spare my life!"

"Amitabha."

Fang Zheng looked compassionate and sighed softly.

"Sect Leader Wu, you have committed such a grave mistake that even this old monk cannot plead for you."

The great war is not over yet, and the righteous side is still hunting down the demonic sect. The leader of the Diancang Sect has already sided with Ren Woxing, so there is really no need for him to speak up for them.

Upon hearing Fang Zheng's words, the leader of the Diancang Sect turned pale and hurriedly said, "Master Fang Zheng, our Diancang Sect has always followed the lead of Shaolin. Please, Abbot, save me for the sake of the friendship between our two sects!"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng's expression changed instantly. A strong killing intent flashed in his eyes as he looked at the leader of the Diancang Sect, and he rebuked him sharply.

"Shaolin and Diancang have always been two separate sects, and the leaders of the two sects have always been close friends. Why should we follow each other's lead?"

"If you continue to speak recklessly, don't blame this old monk for being ruthless!"

To say such things in front of so many sect leaders is like putting Shaolin in a very difficult position.

Fang Zheng wished he could kill this man with a single blow.

Knowing he had offended Fang Zheng, the leader of the Diancang Sect turned even paler, and despair filled his heart.

"Humph!"

Yue Buqun looked at him coldly and said in a cold voice.

"Sever his head, and after this battle, transport his head back to Dali to offer sacrifices to the spirits of Brother Xie and Brother Liu!"

Chapter 727: A Strange Feeling

"Yes, Master!"

Several Huashan disciples stepped forward and took the Diancang Sect leader away.

"Abbot, save me!!"

"Sect Leader Yue, spare my life! I know I was wrong!!"

The leader of the Diancang Sect was still begging for mercy before being taken away.

However, no one paid attention to his dying words.

puff!

A soft slurping sound rang out in the distance, and the Diancang Sect leader's pleas for mercy ceased.

Meanwhile, Ji Wushi was dealing with a similar matter not far away.

“Mr. Ji, this group of evil cult members says they know you and want to see you.”

Several disciples of the Weiyi Alliance escorted several members of the Demonic Cult over and confronted Ji Wushi.

Because of Ji Wushi's outstanding performance, many people already know him.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wushi looked at these people, and saw an old man among them quickly speak up.

“Mr. Ji, it’s me, Du Song. We’ve been in contact before, do you remember me?”

The old man said ingratiatingly.

Juniper?

Suddenly realizing there was no solution.

He remembered that before the great war even began, he had been trying to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Demonic Cult. Du Song was the person he had turned against them, but before he could make him play his due role, the great war came so suddenly.

"Of course I remember."

Ji Wushi smiled and then looked at the disciples of the Weiyi Alliance, saying with a smile, "I'll trouble you young heroes to handle this."

"Row."

The disciples nodded.

Ji Wushi turned around and looked at the group of people, then said.

"Come with me."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Upon hearing this, Du Song nodded quickly and followed, and the others followed as well.

As the group left, one of the disciples spoke up.

"These people are members of the Demonic Sect. Where is Mr. Ji taking them? Are you perhaps going to release them?"

Upon hearing this, someone offered a suggestion.

"Should we follow them and see what happens?"

At this point, the other disciples shook their heads.

"Forget it, Mr. Ji knows the Alliance Leader, so he probably won't do anything to harm the interests of our righteous path. Let's continue hunting down the other demonic sects."

"Row."

The disciples reached a consensus and left.

Ji Wushi led the group to a secluded place, where he was about to do something that no one else could see.

"Mr. Ji, where are you taking us?"

Du Song said nervously, and the others were also somewhat apprehensive.

"Just right here."

Ji Wushi stopped and looked at Du Song with a half-smile.

"Elder Du, who are these people?"

Upon hearing this, Du Song quickly replied, "They are several elders whom I have persuaded to defect in the past few days, and they have also decided to abandon the darkness and embrace the light."

The others quickly introduced themselves to Ji Wushi.

Du Song then spoke nervously, "Mr. Ji, you previously said that as long as we are willing to abandon darkness and embrace the light, the court will not punish us. I wonder if that is still true now..."

Ji Wushi smiled slightly upon hearing this.

"Of course it still counts."

Upon receiving the definitive answer, Du Song and the others visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Song said in a deep voice, "We have no intention of resisting the imperial court. We were forced by Ren Woxing, who controlled us with the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. We had no choice but to accept it. Now that Ren Woxing has been defeated, we are willing to serve the imperial court."

Ji Wushi smiled and nodded.

"The imperial court is in dire need of talents like Elder Du."

Du Song relaxed and smiled, "Mr. Ji, Ren Woxing has now been defeated. I wonder what our antidote is..."

Previously, Ji Wushi had promised that after Ren Woxing's death, he would find an antidote for them, or that the imperial court would develop an antidote to cure the poison in their bodies.

"Although Ren Woxing has been defeated, he is not dead yet. We will probably have to wait a while to get the antidote."

Ji Wushi slowly said, and before the others could react, he continued, "However, the imperial court is also researching an antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. Although it has not yet been developed, a drug has been created that can temporarily suppress the Three Corpse Brain God Pill for a period of time."

As he spoke, Ji Wushi took out a small bottle and tossed it to Du Song.

Upon hearing this, Du Song quickly accepted it.

"Perfect, you guys can divide it up."

Du Song and the others were overjoyed.

"Thank you, Mr. Ji."

"Thank you, Mr. Ji."

The group thanked them repeatedly, then hurriedly poured the medicine from the small bottle into their mouths.

The Three Corpse Brain God Pills within them were about to erupt, and the antidote given to them by Ji Wushi truly relieved their urgent crisis.

But only for a moment, their expressions changed, and they felt a sharp pain in their abdomens.

Juniper collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

"This is not the antidote, this is, this is..."

"poison."

Ji Wushi smiled and took over the conversation, looking down at the group, his expression gradually fading.

"You really think I don't understand what you're thinking?"

Previously, Du Song had reached a consensus with him to serve the court, but Du Song did not inform him in advance about the ambush in the Yinping Mountain cave complex, nor did he inform him in advance about the mobilization of Ren Woxing's army. If Ji Wushi had not been cautious, they would probably have already fallen into the ambush.

The other party is simply betting on both sides.
