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

Page 545

They all knew that the Innate Realm existed, but a hundred years had passed and no one had ever heard of anyone reaching that realm.

Even the undisputed number one martial artist, Dongfang Bubai, might not have reached the Innate Realm.

But Jiang Ning has now truly stepped into the Innate Realm.

The protective aura is the best illustration of this.

"A terrestrial deity."

Master Qingzhu murmured softly, glancing at Jie Feng and Fang Zheng, a smile appearing on her lips.

Tianmen Daoren and Master Dingxian, among others, were also extremely excited.

Finally, a terrestrial immortal has appeared in this world.

Moreover, this terrestrial deity is one of their people.

The leaders of all the factions belonging to the Weiyi Alliance were extremely excited.

Chongxu's gaze was solemn at this moment.

When Zhen Shanzi heard that Jiang Ning was already a master of the Innate Realm, he was first stunned, but then he showed a thoughtful expression, glanced at Fang Zheng, and then looked at Jiang Ning in the distance.

Jie Feng's face was extremely pale and flustered.

Jiang Ning was already difficult to deal with, but now the opponent has stepped into the legendary Innate Realm, making him a terrestrial immortal of this era. In particular, given his righteous indignation and relentless pursuit of his goals, what hope does the Beggars' Sect have in the future?

What should they do if a terrestrial deity targets them?

Chapter 742: Having been the head of the Huashan Sect for a lifetime, can't I enjoy myself a little?

Jie Feng couldn't help but look at Fang Zheng, his gaze pleading for help.

Fang Zheng's expression remained unchanged at this moment, but his pupils contracted slightly, and his heart sank.

However, Fang Zheng's emotions were very complicated at this moment, while Yue Buqun was extremely excited.

The other sect leaders and experts felt that Yue Buqun's excited appearance was a bit exaggerated, but if it were their own sect producing a terrestrial immortal, especially if it was their own disciple, their reaction would probably be even more exaggerated.

"I wonder if Dongfang Bubai is a match for Junior Brother Jiang Ning."

At this point, a disciple of the Weiyi Alliance raised a question.

This is also a problem for everyone.

Jiang Ning is currently the only known master of the Innate Realm, while Dongfang Bubai, although he has been the number one in the world for many years, has never been known to anyone whether he has also reached the Innate Realm.

"In my opinion, Junior Brother Jiang Ning is definitely more powerful. If Dongfang Bubai were truly a master of the Innate Realm, then the Demonic Sect would have destroyed our righteous path long ago."

"A disciple of Emei said."

"Makes sense."

The other disciples nodded in agreement.

"How old is Jiang Ning again?"

Abbess Qingzhu suddenly had a thought.

The nun Qingwei beside her replied softly, "Twenty-two."

Even Abbess Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh.

A twenty-two-year-old earth god!

The other sect leaders and experts also noticed Jiang Ning's age, and their expressions changed drastically.

A 22-year-old immortal can live to at least 100 years old. Jiang Ning is so young, if his body has no hidden ailments that damage his foundation, he can live for at least another 80 years.

Doesn't this mean that their descendants for eight generations will live under the influence of Jiangning?

Unless a genius even more monstrous than Jiang Ning emerges in the future.

But that's impossible.

The world is never short of geniuses, but Jiang Ning is clearly beyond the level of a genius.

People from all schools of martial arts now generally agree that the current martial arts world is not as good as it used to be, and that the overall strength of the martial arts community is declining.

While it's possible that innate masters were not common hundreds of years ago, they are now a rare sight in the martial arts world. The top masters are now the leaders of various sects.

But even in the martial arts world that flourished hundreds of years ago, there was never such a young master of innate level!

At least in everyone's mind, if you trace back eighteen generations from their family tree, there has never been a genius who reached the Innate Realm at the age of twenty-two.

Moreover, Jiang Ning cannot stand still in the future; his peak is far from over.

Jiang Ning is so young. When he truly reaches his peak in twenty years, he will probably be a living legend in the martial arts world.

Upon thinking of this, the leaders of each sect couldn't help but gasp, their gazes turning to Yue Buqun with undisguised envy and jealousy.

MD!

You're so lucky!

Why don't we have a disciple like that?!

The gazes of all the sect leaders and masters fell upon Yue Buqun as if they were physical objects.

Yue Buqun naturally sensed it too, but he made no attempt to hide it; on the contrary, he took pride in it.

"Okay! Okay!"

Yue Buqun patted Jiang Ning's shoulder forcefully.

"By the way, junior brother, where is Ren Woxing's body?"

At this moment, Linghu Chong spoke up: "Since you are already a master of the Innate Realm, then Ren Woxing is definitely no match for you. Where is his body?"

Upon hearing this, the leaders of each sect also considered this issue.

Yup!

So many corpses of the Demonic Cult members here were killed by Jiang Ning, and even Ren Yingying's corpse was not far away. What about Ren Woxing's corpse?

"Ren Woxing has escaped."

Jiang Ning replied.

Did you escape?

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun sighed slightly.

It's a pity that this devil got away.

"It doesn't matter."

Yue Buqun comforted him, saying, "Ren Woxing has been the leader of the Demonic Sect for so many years. He is extremely cunning and has very high martial arts skills. It is already amazing that you went to this dangerous place alone and killed so many demonic monsters. Let Ren Woxing escape. Besides, Ren Woxing is already a stray dog. He won't be able to cause any more trouble in the future. There is no need to worry about him anymore."

Jiang Ning laughed at Yue Buqun's words of comfort.

"Don't worry, Master. Although Ren Woxing has escaped, he won't live much longer."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun asked in surprise, "Why is that?"

Although Ren Woxing escaped last night, his meridians were on the verge of exploding from Jiang Ning's true energy. It was already a testament to Ren Woxing's resilience that he didn't die on the spot. Moreover, he was struck by Jiang Ning's sword energy from behind, which meant he was doomed.

That's why Jiang Ning didn't chase after Ren Woxing last night. Ren Woxing was already doomed, so whether he was chased or not wouldn't affect his inevitable fate. Rather than chasing after the doomed Ren Woxing, it was better to wipe out this group of demonic cult members.

"I see."

Yue Buqun was extremely surprised upon hearing this.

Martial arts practitioners throughout the land fear Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Skill. Even he himself had to be cautious when facing Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Skill, lest he be caught off guard and fall victim to it.

But Jiang Ning did the opposite, allowing Ren Woxing to absorb his true energy, pushing Ren Woxing to the brink of explosion and death.

Jiang Ning was indeed bold.

"This can be considered Ren Woxing's own fault."

Yue Buqun laughed.

Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique instilled fear in the martial arts world, yet he ultimately met his end because of it; indeed, fate is unpredictable.

"Since Ren Woxing is doomed, then this demon-slaying operation is now completely complete."

Yue Buqun drew a conclusion.

"It's time to end it."

Jiang Ning was about to speak when he heard this.

"Master..."

Yue Buqun spoke before Jiang Ning even opened his mouth.

"You'll be the one to do this then. My task and mission as your teacher will be complete."

Yue Buqun understood Jiang Ning's intention: to seize the opportunity and launch a full-scale attack on Blackwood Cliff to completely annihilate the Demonic Sect.

After all, this is a gathering of righteous sects. Even the Kunlun Sect came from so far away, and they came with their entire sect. Such an opportunity is truly rare, and we don't know if there will be another chance like this in the future.

But Yue Buqun felt that it was best to stop here for now.

They've suffered considerable losses along the righteous path so far and need to rest for a while.

Moreover, after Ren Woxing was defeated, the other sects and those wandering martial artists might not be able to continue fighting alongside them to Blackwood Cliff.

For example, Shaolin.

Most importantly, Yue Buqun felt that his role as the leader of the Demon Extermination Alliance had reached its limit, and the next time Jiang Ning would personally issue a proclamation to lead the effort.

"After we return, I will pass on my position to you."

Yue Buqun said.

"what?"

Jiang Ning was startled.

"Master, why so suddenly?"

"Suddenly?"

Yue Buqun smiled and asked a question in return.

"I am already sixty years old, and my energy is no longer sufficient to maintain the development of the sect. I still have to rely on you."

Low on energy?

It's obvious that Yue Buqun is just making excuses. He's almost seventy years old and still hasn't thought about stepping down.

But Yue Buqun was indeed preparing to abdicate.

Originally, he planned to continue serving as the head of the Huashan Sect, protecting Jiangning from harm.

But now that Jiang Ning has already reached the Innate Realm, why would he need to shield him from the wind and rain?

Besides, he was indeed feeling tired.

He's been the head of the Huashan Sect his whole life, can't he enjoy himself a bit?

Chapter 743: The Death of Ren Woxing

Jiang Ning remained silent after hearing Yue Buqun's words.

Yue Buqun's voice was not kept secret from others; the leaders and experts of the other sects, including the members of the Huashan Sect, all heard it.

Ning Zhongze wore a smile, showing no sign of displeasure.

Others were worried that Yue Buqun's decision would displease Ning Zhongze, the sect leader's wife.

But Ning Zhongze couldn't be happier.

Since taking over the Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun has been conscientious and diligent, walking on thin ice for decades, fearing that a single misstep would lead to utter ruin.

As Yue Buqun's bedmate, how could she not understand Yue Buqun's hardships?
