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

Page 547

There are still many martial arts practitioners in Wuwei Prefecture, waiting for him, the leader of the Demon Extermination Alliance, and Yue Buqun has something to say to them.

The four schools of Emei, Taishan, Hengshan, and Hengshan naturally had no objections.

Fang Zheng suddenly spoke up at this moment.

"Amitabha."

Fang Zheng said, "Ren Woxing has been killed, so this old monk will take his leave now. Shaolin Temple still has many important matters to attend to."

Fang Zheng's early departure surprised Yue Buqun somewhat, but he still nodded in agreement.

"Abbot, please proceed with caution."

After a brief greeting, Fang Zheng left.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"

Zhenshanzi was somewhat surprised.

The other sect leaders present all knew why Shaolin was leaving in such a hurry, and none of them said anything, but Zhenshanzi was surprised.

Forget it.

Zhenshanzi didn't think about it anymore.

He was planning to stay a little longer.

After Shaolin left, only the Weiyi Alliance, Wudang, and Kunlun sects remained present.

As for the Beggars' Sect?

Jie Feng had already run away.

They were afraid that if they were even a step too slow, Jiang Ning would come after them.

"Everyone, please."

Yue Buqun addressed the leaders of the various sects.

"please."

Zhenshanzi and Chongxu bowed and said.

The group embarked on their journey back to Wuwei Prefecture.

……

Beijing.

royal palace.

"Your Majesty, great joy, great joy!"

Liu Jin jogged towards Zhu Houzhao's palace with small, quick steps, holding a secret letter in his hand as he ran and shouted.

Zhu Houzhao, who was dealing with memorials at the time, put down his work upon hearing Liu Jin's voice and frowned slightly.

"What happy event?"

Zhu Houzhao was somewhat displeased by Liu Jin's outburst, but he was also curious about what could have made this old fox Liu Jin deliberately act so out of control.

"Your Majesty, news has arrived regarding the battle in Wuwei Prefecture. The demonic cult leader named Ren Woxing has been killed by Hero Jiang."

Liu Jin quickly replied.

"Oh?"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Send it up."

Liu Jin dared not delay and immediately presented Luo Ding's secret letter.

Zhu Houzhao quickly opened the secret letter and began to read it, a look of delight on his face.

"it is good!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but applaud.

"I knew it. My sworn brother is indeed a master of martial arts."

In the secret letter, Luo Ding gave a detailed report on the specific actions of this demon-slaying operation.

Zhu Houzhao nodded as he read.

"Hmm, this sworn brother's master, Yue Buqun, is quite good."

"He was able to command this battle involving tens of thousands of people in an orderly manner; he is a capable person."

Liu Jin flattered from the side, saying, "After all, Alliance Leader Yue is Jiang Daxia's master. If he didn't have excellent skills, he wouldn't have been able to teach such a master as Jiang Daxia."

Zhu Houzhao laughed upon hearing this.

"That's true."

Zhu Houzhao then continued reading.

The following content naturally describes Jiang Ning's performance.

Zhu Houzhao looked surprised.

"So my sworn brother's martial arts skills are so high? He can move freely among thousands of troops, and even in the rear of the Demonic Sect, no one can kill him?"

Zhu Houzhao had already overestimated Jiangning's martial arts skills, but the secret report in front of him still surprised him greatly.

Especially when he saw Jiang Ning go alone to confront Ren Woxing's thousand-strong remnant of the Demonic Cult, and actually kill all of them, including Ren Woxing and Ren Yingying, the two main culprits, all by himself, this was beyond Zhu Houzhao's comprehension.

If it weren't a secret letter, Zhu Houzhao would have thought he was reading some mythological book.

"but……"

Zhu Houzhao still showed a look of doubt.

"What does it mean that the letter says my sworn brother has entered the Innate Realm?"

"Is this level of skill very powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin quickly offered an explanation.

Fortunately, he had done his homework.

"I have already sent people to inquire. This realm is very powerful for those martial artists in the Jianghu. They call those who have reached this realm 'Land Immortals'."

"Land gods?"

Zhu Houzhao was startled and found it hard to believe.

"Yes, it is said that those who have reached this realm are no longer ordinary people. They can remain youthful and live to be a hundred years old with ease. They also have protective qi that can protect them from all attacks in the world. Therefore, people in the martial arts world call masters of the Innate Realm 'Land Immortals'."

"Moreover, it is said that those who reach this level can ascend to the celestial realm and attain immortality."

Zhu Houzhao listened, completely stunned.

Eternal youth?

Protective Qi?

Ascension?

Zhu Houzhao noticed the sensitive word and immediately asked, "Ascension? Is there really a way to ascend to immortality? Is it possible to attain the Dao and become an immortal?"

Liu Jin honestly replied, "This servant doesn't know either; I only learned about it from those martial arts practitioners."

Even so, Zhu Houzhao was still quite shocked.

So, does that mean his sworn brother is now an immortal?

Zhu Houzhao fell into deep thought.

Liu Jin carefully observed Zhu Houzhao's expression and said, "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, whether there is truly any ascension is still unknown. Perhaps it is just the boasting of those martial arts practitioners."

"Instead of doubting whether it is truly possible to attain immortality and ascend to heaven, we should invite Master Jiang into the palace and ask him."

Zhu Houzhao was thinking, but after hearing Liu Jin's words, he opened his mouth as if to say something, but then shook his head.

"We'll discuss this later."

In fact, Zhu Houzhao himself did not care whether there was a celestial realm or whether he could ascend to immortality.

Not every emperor wanted to live forever.

Perhaps if he really went to the celestial realm, he would be less happy than being an emperor in the mortal world?

Zhu Houzhao was thinking about other things.

Liu Jin wanted to say something more, but seeing Zhu Houzhao deep in thought, he didn't dare to speak.

Zhu Houzhao subconsciously touched his chin and muttered to himself.

"I was thinking this would be quite difficult, but my sworn brother gave me such a pleasant surprise, and now it's much simpler."

Zhu Houzhao was about to speak after thinking it through when he saw Liu Jin's hesitant expression and said with a smile, "Speak your mind."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin immediately smiled obsequiously: "Your Majesty, now that the devil Ren Woxing has been eliminated, according to the imperial decree, it is time to reward those who have made contributions."

Zhu Houzhao laughed upon hearing this.

“That’s right, it’s time to reward those who have made contributions.”

"Call Wang Zhilai."

……

"Ning'er."

On the way back to Wuwei Prefecture, Yue Buqun suddenly thought of something and asked Jiang Ning, "Now that you have reached the Innate Realm, do you feel like you are ascending?"

As soon as Yue Buqun said this, the other sect leaders and experts couldn't help but look over.

They are also very concerned about this issue.

Jiang Ning shook his head.

"No."

Chapter 745: Laudenau deserves to die!

Upon hearing this, everyone showed signs of disappointment.

Zhenshanzi couldn't help but say.

"Could it be that the legends circulating in the world that innate masters can ascend to immortality are false?"

Before anyone reached the Innate Realm, everyone had high hopes for this realm. But Jiang Ning, a terrestrial immortal of this era, told them personally that there was no such thing as ascension in this world.

How can this not be disappointing?

"never mind."

Zhenshanzi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"With our limited abilities, we have no hope of ascending to immortality in this lifetime, so why should we care about whether we can ascend?"

Zhenshanzi was quite carefree; after all, ascension was just a legend.

This is not their concern.

"good."

Tianmen Daoist agreed with Zhenshanzi's words, saying, "Even if there is ascension, it is not very attractive to me. I only hope to live up to the expectations of the ancestors of the Taishan Sect and carry on the Taishan Sect."

Yue Buqun was slightly disappointed, but it was only disappointment; he quickly recovered.

The group quickly returned to Wuwei Prefecture.

After the news of Jiang Ning's annihilation of the remnants of the Demonic Cult and Ren Woxing's serious injury and escape, the martial arts community cheered, which also meant that this anti-demon operation was coming to an end.

But so far, the vast majority of martial arts practitioners have not left, but are waiting for the major sects such as Huashan and Emei to return.

The reason they stayed here was that they had heard that Jiang Ning had entered the Innate Realm and become a legendary terrestrial immortal, and they wanted to see Jiang Ning's face.

Secondly, these people were all wandering martial artists, and some of them wanted to take this opportunity to join one of the major sects.

Perhaps the major factions will recruit them after losing manpower this time.
