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

Page 520

……

Go back to one day ago.

Sang Sanniang, who was originally stationed in the town waiting for the Demonic Sect on Yinping Mountain to lure Yue Buqun and his men to the ambush point, was inside the house, pondering the terrain map of Yinping Mountain.

After a while.

Bang bang bang!

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Sang San Niang said without even looking up.

With a creak, the door opened, and a servant entered carrying tea.

"Master Sang, please have some tea."

The servant placed the tea tray on the table beside him and said in a low voice.

"go out."

Sang San Niang said without turning her head, but after a while, she didn't hear the door close. Finally, Sang San Niang turned around and saw the servant looking at her with a smile.

Sang San Niang frowned.

"This master tells you to leave."

The servant still had a smile on his face.

"Master Sang's prestige hasn't diminished even after switching allegiance to Leader Ren."

Sang San Niang's eyes narrowed, and she asked sharply, "Who are you?"

There was only her and the servant in the room, but the man in front of her was obviously not an ordinary servant. She didn't know how good he was at martial arts. Sang San Niang was not confident that she could subdue him, so she was about to shout loudly for her men to come in and take him down. But the man said the next second.

"Master Sang is currently enjoying great success under Ren Woxing's command, but has he forgotten the kindness of the Grand Steward in promoting you?"

Grand Steward?

The moment those three words were uttered, Sang San Niang immediately abandoned her plans, staring at the person before her in shock.

"You're working for Chief Steward Yang?"

Sang San Niang originally wanted to say Yang Lian Ting, but she immediately changed her mind after realizing what she meant.

This person was all smiles.

"It seems that Master Sang has not forgotten the Grand Steward."

Sang San Niang's face was pale at this moment, but she no longer had the idea of ​​calling anyone in.

"What business does the Grand Steward have with me?"

The person sat down to the side.

"It's nothing. I heard that after Hall Master Sang switched allegiance to Ren Woxing, the Grand Steward sent me to check on how Hall Master Sang was doing. It seems he's doing quite well now, leading the brothers of Dongmu Hall and Chihuo Hall to ambush the righteous path here. His power is much greater than when he was under the Grand Steward. Congratulations!"

This person speaks politely, but his words are full of sarcasm, and every sentence is a dig at Sang San Niang.

Sang San Niang's expression changed several times, but then returned to normal.

“You don’t need to mock me. I, Sang San Niang, have not forgotten the kindness of the Grand Steward in promoting me to the position of Hall Master. However, now that I am working under Master Ren, I am afraid that I cannot repay the kindness of the Grand Steward.”

After saying that, Sang San Niang gestured for the guests to leave.

But the man did not leave. He even picked up the tea that had just been brought in and took a sip, looking rather leisurely. Under Sang San Niang's increasingly angry gaze, he finally spoke.

"Does Master Sang really intend to follow Ren Woxing down this path to the very end? It's a dead end anyway."

"What do you mean?"

Sang San Niang spoke in a cold voice.

The man stopped beating around the bush and straightened up, saying, "Why ask a question you already know the answer to, Hall Master Sang? In the current situation, do you think Ren Woxing can still survive?"

Sang San Niang's face was grim, but she didn't say anything.

The man continued, "Ren Woxing has now offended the imperial court, prompting the court to issue an edict to suppress him. The major righteous sects, including Shaolin, Wudang, and Huashan, have all gathered here to destroy Ren Woxing. Ren Woxing has incurred the wrath of the masses. What will his fate be? Or does Hall Master Sang believe that Ren Woxing's martial arts are unparalleled and that he can defeat the righteous path and overthrow the imperial court? Or is Hall Master Sang so loyal to Ren Woxing that he is willing to die with him?"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Sang San Niang finally spoke.

"After all, Master Sang was once a talent highly valued by the Grand Steward. The Grand Steward couldn't bear to see Master Sang follow Ren Woxing to his death, so he asked me to persuade Master Sang."

Sang San Niang looked at him coldly: "Does the Grand Steward mean I should betray the leader?"

"betray?"

The man looked at Sang San Niang with a half-smile.

"Master Sang is a member of our Divine Sect, and he was promoted by the Grand Steward. Our Divine Sect only has one leader, and that is the Eastern Leader on Blackwood Cliff. How can there be any betrayal?"

Sang San Niang remained silent.

This person seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "Just now, Hall Master Sang said that he had not forgotten the kindness of the Grand Steward, which means that Hall Master Sang was unwilling to work under Ren Woxing, but was forced to do so by Ren Woxing's threat of the Three Corpse Brain God Pill."

Although Sang San Niang remained silent after her secret was exposed, the change in her expression revealed the answer.

Seeing the change in her expression, the man felt much more confident and smiled, “If Hall Master Sang is worried about the Three Corpse Brain God Pill taking effect and is afraid of Ren Woxing, there is no need to worry so much.”

Upon hearing this, Sang San Niang looked up at him.

"What do you mean?"

The man laughed and said, "Does Hall Master Sang still remember the recipe for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill that the Sect Leader obtained from Ren Woxing?"

"what?"

Sang San Niang was startled.

She did recall that shortly after she was forced to take the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, Ren Woxing led them to attack Blackwood Cliff. In the end, Dongfang Bubai and Ren Woxing made a bet, the prize being the formula and antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill. In the end, Dongfang Bubai obtained the formula from Ren Woxing.

Has the result already been obtained?

Chapter 710: Smoked

Thinking of this, Sang San Niang's breathing became somewhat rapid.

"Have the Grand Steward and the Eastern Cult Leader already developed an antidote for the Three Corpse Brain God Pill?"

Sang San Niang couldn't help but ask, her eyes filled with anticipation.

But she wasn't sure if what the person said was true or false.

The man smiled but did not answer. Instead, he picked up the tea he had just drunk and gestured to Sang San Niang.

"Master Sang, this tea is really good, why don't you try some?"

Sang San Niang frowned. She had no mood for tea at all, especially since the person in front of her had already drunk from it. She was about to ask more questions, but when she saw the deep meaning in the other person's eyes, Sang San Niang seemed to understand something.

The man smiled and handed her the tea. Sang San Niang took the tea, her eyes trembling slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, Sang San Niang drank the tea in one gulp.

"what?"

After a short while, Sang San Niang let out a soft exclamation, her eyes showing surprise.

Since Ren Woxing gave her an antidote to suppress the Three Corpse Brain God Pill in her body, the Dragon Boat Festival was getting closer and closer. She could feel the corpse worms in her body stirring. If she didn't get an antidote to suppress the corpse worms, she would definitely die a terrible death. So when the person in front of her said that he was sent by Yang Lianting, she had no intention of betraying Ren Woxing. But now, after drinking the tea, Sang San Niang's heart was filled with great turmoil.

She could clearly feel the corpse worms, which were about to awaken, gradually fall silent again.

At the same time, the man's voice rang out.

"Master Sang, how is this tea?"

Sang San Niang remained silent for a while before speaking.

"very nice."

"The head steward said that if Hall Master Sang likes them, he can give some to him. However, I was in a hurry this time, so I can only go back and bring them to Hall Master Sang."

Hearing what the other person said, Sang San Niang looked up at them, her voice a little hoarse.

"What does the Grand Steward want me to do?"

The man laughed.

"This... the Grand Steward didn't say that. He only said that although Hall Master Sang has joined Ren Woxing, he was promoted by the Grand Steward after all, so there is still some affection between them. That's why he asked me to deliver an antidote to Hall Master Sang. It's up to Hall Master Sang to see if he will accept it."

Sang San Niang looked at the other person, her voice trembling.

"Grand Steward...can you forgive me?"

She already understood the other party's plan, but she still couldn't quite believe it.

After all, she had already betrayed Yang Lianting. The sect was extremely cruel in dealing with traitors, especially Yang Lianting. Sang San Niang couldn't believe that the other party would let her go so easily.

"Although Master Sang betrayed the Grand Steward, he was ultimately controlled by Ren Woxing using the Three Corpse Brain God Pill and had no choice but to do so. The Grand Steward can understand."

Sang San Niang asked anxiously, "The sect leader...?"

The leader mentioned by Sang San Niang was not Ren Woxing, but Dongfang Bubai.

"This is also the leader's intention."

The man smiled.

"The leader also said that the Three Corpse Brain God Pill is too poisonous. The former leader, Ren Woxing, used it to control the brothers in the sect. It is an extremely insidious thing that should not exist. The leader took the formula of this thing from Ren Woxing so that the brothers in the sect would no longer be controlled by Ren Woxing. Hall Master Sang, rest assured, after Hall Master Sang returns to Blackwood Cliff, the leader and the Grand Steward will distribute antidotes to the brothers to suppress the corpse worms in their bodies."

Having received the promise, Sang San Niang had no more worries and knelt down on one knee.

"Thank you, Master and Grand Steward."

"Please rise, Master Sang."

The man helped Sang San Niang up and said with a smile, "The sect leader and the chief steward are so considerate of the brothers in the sect. I hope that Hall Master Sang will not disappoint them."

Sang San Niang then said directly, "What are your orders, Master and Grand Steward? I will go through fire and water for you, even unto death."

"Master Sang, you flatter me."

The man said, "The sect leader and the chief steward are already very pleased that Master Sang has this intention, but there is no need for Master Sang to go through fire and water. However, there is indeed something that Master Sang needs to do."

"Please say!"

The man stood with his hands behind his back and said, “Ren Woxing has now offended the righteous path and the imperial court. A great battle between the two sides is imminent, and Ren Woxing is doomed to die. But it is a pity that many brothers in the sect will lose their lives for him. The sect leader could not bear to see his brothers die innocently, so he ordered me to come here.”

"Now, Hall Master Sang is leading the brothers from Dongmu Hall and Chihuo Hall to ambush the righteous path here. We need Hall Master Sang to lead them away from here and back to Blackwood Cliff."

"Yes."

Sang Sanniang responded.

……

At this moment, Jiang Ning, who was still setting up a defensive line at the foot of Yinping Mountain, was still wondering if it was a treacherous plot by the Demonic Cult. Little did he know that the thousands of Demonic Cult members who had ambushed the town the day before had been turned back to Blackwood Cliff.

Unable to reach a conclusion, Jiang Ning temporarily left the matter alone. After the defense line was set up, Jiang Ning instructed the two strange beasts, the tortoise and the snake, not to wander off and to wait with everyone at the foot of the mountain before heading up the mountain.

It was already dark when a thick plume of smoke rose from the mountain. Jiang Ning knew immediately that Yue Buqun and his men had launched a fire attack.

Jiang Ning used his light-footed skills to travel through the mountains and soon arrived at his destination.

"Hero Jiang".

"The Great Hero of Guanzhong"

"Ning Yama!"

The group of martial arts figures greeted Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning responded as he walked forward, finally meeting Yue Buqun, Fang Zheng Chongxu, and others.

"Master."

Jiang Ning stepped forward.

Yue Buqun turned around upon hearing the voice and was surprised to find it was Jiang Ning.

"Why did you come up here?"

"There's no situation down the mountain for now. This disciple will come up to see if there's anything I can help with."
