……
"Chief, now even Shaolin refuses to help us. What should we do?"
In the woods, a Beggar Clan elder looked at Jie Feng with concern.
Jie Feng's face was also very pale at this moment.
He left early so that he could intercept Fang Zheng on the way and seek his help and solutions.
But he never expected that Fang Zheng, who had been so kind and courteous to him and tried so hard to win him over, would change his attitude so drastically.
He didn't understand the meaning of "prescription".
Is Shaolin really that afraid of the Huashan Sect?
Thinking back to Fang Zheng's previous attitude of avoiding her like the plague, Xie Fengxin sank to the bottom.
They used to call him "Sweetie," but now they call him "Old Lady Cow"?
Chapter 751: This is what the elder brother should do.
"How to do?"
Hearing the question from the elders of the gang, Jie Feng was also filled with confusion.
……
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The disciple recruitment ceremonies of the three sects were also coming to an end.
Over the past three days, various sects have recruited a number of disciples, some more and some less.
The Taishan Sect is also a Taoist sect, and it is extremely strict in recruiting disciples. This time, despite the large number of people from the martial arts world applying, it only recruited fewer than fifty people.
The Hengshan Sect has more lenient recruitment requirements. Master Mo recruited more than a hundred people at once. If the Hengshan Sect hadn't been considering its capacity, Master Mo would have planned to recruit several hundred people at once.
The Emei Sect recruited the most disciples this time, with more than 400 people, including many women who were willing to become nuns.
This is the situation regarding the recruitment of disciples by the three sects.
After recruiting his disciples, the Taoist priest from Tianmen was the first to take his leave.
Wuwei Prefecture is not too far from Mount Tai. Tianmen Daoist will take the newly recruited disciples back to the sect for the initiation ceremony before going to Mount Hua to participate in the October Grand Ceremony.
The same applies to the Hengshan School.
The situation of the Emei Sect is special. The Emei Sect is relatively far away from the Hengshan and Taishan Sects, and it is quite troublesome for so many people from the Emei Sect to travel.
If Jiang Ning's succession ceremony were postponed a little longer, it would be fine, but with only a few months to go, there isn't enough time. Therefore, Abbess Qingzhu isn't in a hurry to go back for the initiation ceremony and has decided to attend Jiang Ning's succession ceremony at Mount Hua before returning to Mount Emei.
The Hengshan Sect did not recruit any disciples, but like the Emei Sect, it returned to Huashan with the Huashan Sect.
"My two senior masters."
Jiang Ning was consolidating his realm and sensing the difference of the Innate Realm, but after hearing that the Hengshan and Taishan sects were leaving, he found the two.
Jiang Ning handed the two hand-drawn sketches to the two men respectively.
"what is this?"
Tianmen Daoist took the blueprints and frowned as he looked at them.
The drawing looks like a map, with some red dots circled in certain areas.
It looks like a treasure map.
Mr. Mo was deep in thought.
Jiang Ning's words confirmed Mr. Mo's idea.
"These two maps are from the bandit strongholds that my nephew destroyed during his travels in Jiangnan, Shandong, Hunan and Hubei. I buried all the gold and silver I found in these bandit strongholds underground, right where these red circles mark."
"Since you two senior uncles are going back to the sect, why don't you dig out this gold and silver?"
"This……"
The Taoist priest of Tianmen was astonished.
Mr. Mo refused without even thinking.
When Liu Zhengfeng wanted to help him, he refused sternly, and their relationship even became strained. How could he possibly accept it?
But Jiang Ning spoke first.
“These gold and silver are ill-gotten gains. I originally intended to use them to benefit the people, but at the time I was traveling the world and could not transport so much silver by myself, so I had to hide them underground. Now that the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, even if my Huashan wanted to dig out these gold and silver, I would be powerless.”
"It just so happens that the Hengshan and Taishan sects are not far from these places. We will entrust these gold and silver to our two senior masters to dig them out and benefit the local people."
Jiang Ning later considered digging out the gold and silver, but the Huashan Sect had too many things to do, one major event after another, and there was neither the time nor the manpower to travel through mountains and rivers to dig out the gold and silver.
It was just the right time to hand over these gold and silver to Tianmen Daoren and Master Mo Da.
Jiang Ning believed that the two men would handle the situation properly, given their character.
Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Master Mo couldn't bring himself to refuse.
The Taoist priest of Tianmen was deep in thought.
"Alright."
Mr. Mo nodded: "Since you put it that way, I will take on this task."
"I guarantee that every penny of this gold and silver will be used to benefit the people."
Tianmen Daoist nodded as well.
He looked at Jiang Ning with emotion.
"Junior Brother Jiang, thank you very much."
How could he not understand Jiang Ning's thoughts?
The Taishan and Hengshan sects used this gold and silver to benefit the local people, which would surely earn them their love and respect, greatly benefiting their reputation.
What do you mean by "the mountains are high and the roads are long" or "I have the will but not the power"? If you really have the will, why are you afraid of these things?
These are all pure gold and silver; no one would complain about having too little money.
Jiang Ning may be very ruthless, but he is truly devoted to his allies.
Think about the Songshan Sect and Zuo Lengchan in the past, and then look at the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun, and Jiang Ning now. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.
The Taoist priest of Tianmen couldn't help but sigh.
This is what a senior leader should do!
Having accepted the 'treasure map,' the two factions took their leave.
The news that Jiangning was going to restart the Mount Hua Sword Tournament also spread.
Unsurprisingly, the martial arts heroes present were in high spirits.
Although their martial arts skills were no match for the Mount Hua Sword Competition, it didn't stop them from being spectators.
Jiang Ning is a celestial being on land in this world. Just being able to witness Jiang Ning's actions, even as a mere spectator, is an honor beyond measure.
With the two factions departing, the Huashan Sect also prepared to set off.
The Huashan Sect is the main character in the October Grand Ceremony, so naturally they have more to do than other sects.
Zhenshanzi and Yue Buqun set off, chatting and laughing all the way, with the Hengshan Sect members also in the group.
Other martial arts figures also left one after another, and the news that Jiang Ning would succeed as the leader of the Huashan Sect and prepare to restart the Huashan Sword Tournament would be spread throughout the entire martial arts world by them.
Blackwood Cliff.
Yang Lianting hurried to Dongfang Bubai's residence.
"what happened?"
Dongfang Bubai was embroidering when he saw Yang Lianting's hurried pace and asked a question.
"Ren Woxing is dead."
Yang Lianting frowned.
"died?"
Dongfang Bubai was taken aback upon hearing this.
"Ah."
Yang Lianting nodded and said, "Our men found Ren Woxing's body in a bamboo forest. He died from ruptured meridians in his body."
Dongfang Bubai remained silent.
After a long time.
"Although the Star Absorbing Technique is a powerful skill, it also has great hidden dangers. Ren Woxing has absorbed the internal energy of so many people, and his meridians are already overburdened. If he had stayed quietly at the bottom of West Lake Prison, he would have been fine. But after he returned to the martial world, he absorbed the internal energy of too many people. It is normal for him to have this day."
Dongfang Bubai said calmly.
But Yang Lianting's attention was not on this at the moment; his brows were furrowed.
"what happened?"
Dongfang Bubai asked.
"There is one more thing, which is very important."
Yang Lianting's expression was solemn: "Do you still remember Jiang Ning of the Huashan Sect?"
"Jiangning?"
Dongfang Bubai pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded.
He's a good young man.
"He has already broken through to the Innate Realm."
Yang Lianting's words startled Dongfang Bubai, who looked up at Yang Lianting and suddenly unleashed his aura.
A layer of blood-red light appeared around him.
"He's reached the Innate Realm?"
Yang Lianting felt extremely uncomfortable under Dongfang Bubai's imposing aura, but he still nodded.
"Ah."
Dongfang Bubai noticed Yang Lianting's discomfort and withdrew his imposing aura.
But at this moment, Dongfang Bubai's eyes shone brightly.
Looking at Dongfang Bubai's appearance, Yang Lianting pursed his lips.
Ever since he saw Dongfang Bubai practice the Sunflower Manual, Dongfang Bubai had become indifferent to worldly affairs and even stopped caring much about the Sun Moon Sect. This was the first time he had seen Dongfang Bubai show such an expression.
"There's one more thing I think you should be interested in."
Yang Lianting was filled with a myriad of thoughts, but he suppressed them all and continued speaking.
"Ok?"
Dongfang Bubai looked at him.
"Jiang Ning will hold a grand ceremony at Mount Hua in October to succeed as the new head of the Mount Hua Sect. At the same time, a new round of Mount Hua Sword Tournament will be launched, inviting heroes from all over the world to the top of Mount Hua to compete for the title of the best in the world."
Dongfang Bubai smiled upon hearing this.
They were laughing very happily.
Chapter 752: The Mount Hua Sword Tournament Incident Escalates
"Have you all heard? King Ning has now broken through to the Innate Realm and is the only terrestrial immortal in the world."
one person said.
Another person immediately said, "Still calling him King Ning? Call him Master Jiang!"
