140: Saving Mrs. Wang (seeking full subscription)

"Husband!"

Seeing Lin Zhendong die a tragic death, Madam Wang, who was by his side, wailed in grief.

"Madam Lin, please accept my condolences."

Ning Yuan sighed softly, "I arrived a step too late, entangled by Yu Canghai; otherwise, I would not have let Chief Escort Lin die such a tragic death."

"If I could have arrived a step earlier, I definitely could have saved Chief Biao Tou Lin."

Ning Yuan wore a look of regret.

After a moment, Madam Wang calmed down slightly, but her eyes already revealed a desire for death, "This has nothing to do with Headmaster Yue. If not for Headmaster Yue intervening, our couple's grievances and the hatred of the Lin family would not know when they could be avenged."

"It is a pity that I have nothing left to repay Headmaster Yue with. Now that my husband is dead, I have no interest in living in this world, so I shall follow him..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Madam Wang suddenly threw herself towards the opposite wall.

But Ning Yuan had long been prepared and grabbed her, "Madam Wang, what are you doing?"

Ning Yuan looked stern, "Now that Chief Escort Lin has just died, if you were to seek death, would the Lin family not truly lose all hope?"

"Just now, Chief Escort Lin asked me to take good care of you, Madam Lin. You must not be rash."

"Thank you, Headmaster Yue, but my husband is dead, and now that the great vengeance has been exacted, I have no more attachments in this world..."

Madam Wang shook her head, her will resolute, and was about to rush towards the wall again.

Ning Yuan had no choice but to pull her into his arms and hold her.

Madam Wang immediately began to struggle.

Although it was somewhat intimate, he could not worry about such proprieties at this moment.

"What about Lin Pingzhi?"

Ning Yuan shouted.

"Pingzhi?"

Hearing the name of Lin Pingzhi, Madam Wang suddenly stopped struggling and looked up at Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan sighed softly, and to the Madam Wang in his arms, he said earnestly: "Yesterday I saved him from the hands of Mu Gaofeng. He wanted to take me as his master, but I have not yet agreed. If he were to suddenly learn the tragic news that both of you had died, that the great vengeance had been exacted, and that there was no more interest in life, I fear he would also follow you to the grave!"

"Madam Lin, if you do not think for yourself, you should think for your child. We are all parents, and I fear none of us would wish to see our own child seek death because of us."

Hearing these words, the desire for death in Madam Wang's eyes gradually faded, and her face showed complexity and hesitation.

Because of such a blow, Lin Pingzhi, in a moment of impulse, might really do such a thing.

"I understand."

After a long while, Madam Wang sighed, lowered her head, and ceased seeking death.

"Headmaster Yue?"

Madam Wang moved her body, which was being held tightly, and reminded him with some embarrassment.

Ning Yuan immediately let go, "Apologies, I did not mean to act improperly towards you, Madam; it was only in a moment of urgency that I had to..."

"Headmaster Yue is joking. How could I misunderstand Headmaster Yue? If not for Headmaster Yue's assistance, our couple would likely have already been tortured to death by Mu Gaofeng, and if not for Headmaster Yue arriving in time, I fear I would have been defiled by that Mu Gaofeng."

Madam Wang immediately shook her head and said.

Thinking of how she had almost been violated by the ugly hunchback Mu Gaofeng, Madam Wang felt a wave of lingering fear.

If such a thing had happened, it would have been more painful than death.

If it had really happened, she would have had no desire to live, regardless of any reason.

And while Madam Wang went to collect Lin Zhendong's body.

Ning Yuan also glanced at his attribute panel.

After killing Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng, his Luck had increased again.

It reached 50 points.

Shortly after.

Ning Yuan brought Madam Wang and Lin Zhendong's body to the official road, where he met the group from Mount Hua.

"Husband, this is..."

Seeing Ning Yuan, Ning Zhongze immediately came forward, then looked with confusion at Madam Wang and the body she was holding.

"Mother!"

Lin Pingzhi, who was following behind, saw Madam Wang and immediately stepped forward with joy, then saw Lin Zhendong in her arms, his heart sank, and his face revealed panic, "Mother, what has happened to Father?"

Lin Pingzhi asked excitedly.

Madam Wang laid down Lin Zhendong's body and said sorrowfully: "Ping'er, your father, your father has been killed by Mu Gaofeng!"

Madam Wang was also overcome with grief.

"What?"

Hearing this news, Lin Pingzhi was struck as if by lightning, "Father, Father..."

After a long while, Madam Wang recounted the full story.

Lin Pingzhi immediately knelt before Ning Yuan, "Thank you, Senior Yue, for saving my parents, and thank you, Senior Yue, for avenging my father and my entire family. This Junior has nothing with which to repay you; I only ask that you take me as your Disciple, and allow this Junior to serve you with filial piety for the rest of my life."

But Ning Yuan did not agree, instead shaking his head and saying: "I did not save people for the sake of others' repayment. Now that your mother has safely returned and the great vengeance has been exacted, you should take your mother back home to live in peace and no longer involve yourself in the Jianghu."

But Lin Pingzhi hurriedly said: "Senior, having experienced this matter, this Junior has understood that without strength, it is not easy to live in this world. Senior was able to help me avenge myself by killing Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng today, but I fear that in the future there will be Zhang Gaofeng or Chen Gaofeng. Without martial arts to rely on, I fear we will still be..."

Lin Pingzhi knelt on the ground, speaking with genuine sincerity.

Seeing this, Ning Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, glanced at Madam Wang, and said: "But I have no intention of taking Disciples at this moment."

"Senior Brother, the Lin family has suffered a great catastrophe. Although Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng are dead, I fear that without these two, other people in the Jianghu will covet the Lin family's ultimate arts. I fear that if they leave now, the road ahead will be even more dangerous."

Ning Zhongze advised at this moment.

Yue Lingshan also nodded from the side, "Father, Mother is right. Along this journey, I have seen many people from the Jianghu inquiring about the whereabouts of the Lin family members."

"Sigh!"

Hearing this, Ning Yuan sighed softly, "A single sword manual, yet it brings such a lethal disaster. Very well..."

Ning Yuan looked at Lin Pingzhi, and before Lin Pingzhi could show a happy expression, Ning Yuan said: "Although I cannot take you as my Disciple now, since I have already helped you to the end, and I have just saved you, I cannot let you easily fall into the hands of enemies again and suffer more tribulations. How about this: you shall first stay with us, and I will escort you to the Jin Dao Sect in Luoyang. Once the Jianghu has been peaceful for a period of time, you can then make your own plans."

As he spoke, Ning Yuan looked at Madam Wang, "I wonder what Madam Lin thinks of this?"

Madam Wang had no other options at this moment and could only nod in agreement, "It is just that I fear this will trouble Headmaster Yue, Heroine Ning, and everyone from Mount Hua."

"It is no trouble."

Ning Zhongze immediately said with a smile: "There are only these few of us from Mount Hua, it does not matter."

While Lin Pingzhi buried Lin Zhendong, Ning Yuan went to a roadside inn to rest and go into seclusion.

After absorbing the internal energy of Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng, Ning Yuan's cultivation had long since reached a critical point.

He had long had experience with Breakthroughs, so everything was logical and followed the natural course of events.

In just a moment, Ning Yuan's aura suddenly surged, then instantly became restrained.

[Current World: Smiling Proud Wanderer, Xia Ke Island]

"The effect of Comprehension Ability is by no means as simple as it is now. After returning this time, it seems I must contemplate it well and fuse my sword techniques."

Ning Yuan looked at his attribute panel and thought to himself.

Because his martial arts at this moment were too messy.

Especially since there were too many sword techniques.

They were all branches and leaves, with no main trunk.

Just as Ning Yuan finished his cultivation.

A knock on the door came.

"Junior Sister, what is it?"

Seeing Ning Zhongze, Ning Yuan asked directly.

"Senior Brother, now that we have killed Fei Bin of the Songshan Sect, Zuo Lengchan will absolutely not let this rest."

"Now that we have also killed the Qingcheng Sect Leader Yu Canghai, I fear that Zuo Lengchan will take the opportunity to invite fellow martial artists to deal with our Mount Hua. If he were to pin the crime of colluding with the Demonic Cult on us, I fear..."

Ning Zhongze was somewhat worried.

Previously, in front of outsiders, she had naturally appeared calm, but with no one else around, she had to voice the worries in her heart.

This concerned the survival of Mount Hua.

Even Ning Zhongze was somewhat surprised, not knowing when Yue Buqun had become so impulsive.

"I have long known of Junior Sister's worries, but if I did not kill them, would Zuo Lengchan not cause trouble for our Mount Hua?"

Ning Yuan stood up, walked to the window, clasped his hands behind his back, and said calmly: "Zuo Lengchan is ambitious and has always wanted to unify the Five Mountains. Although our Mount Hua declined significantly after experiencing the conflict between the Sword and Qi schools, my strength within the Five Mountains still makes Zuo Lengchan wary."

"It can be said that I am Zuo Lengchan's number one enemy, and he will get rid of me sooner or later. Since we cannot avoid a clash of blades, why bother with disingenuous pleasantries? It is better to find opportunities to cut off his arms, so that when we turn against each other in the future, we will have a better chance of winning."

"It is good that Senior Brother knows this. Sigh! It is just that the Songshan Sect is powerful, and we can still fight against them, but Lingshan and the others are definitely no match for the Songshan Disciples. When the time comes and they bully the few with the many, I fear..."

Ning Zhongze was somewhat anxious.

After all, the Songshan Sect has always disregarded martial ethics.

They even kill the old, young, women, and children; dealing with them, I fear they will be even more ruthless.

"Then I will propose to the other sects that Zuo Lengchan is acting perversely and harming the innocent, and that it is time to re-elect the Five Mountains Alliance Chief."

Ning Yuan suddenly sneered, "When that time comes, Zuo Lengchan will be stretched too thin, and once we return to Mount Hua, relying on the terrain, the people of the Songshan Sect will have no way to do anything to us."

"This is all we can do for now."

Ning Zhongze had no other solution and could only say this.

However, Ning Yuan only said this to Ning Zhongze.

"Thirteen Taibao of Mount Song?"

"I wonder how much my cultivation will improve after I absorb their internal energy."

"And if I were to absorb Ren Woxing's internal energy when the time comes..."

Ning Yuan had no intention of staying on Mount Hua forever.

Half a month later.

The news about the Gentleman Sword killing the Great Songyang Hand Fei Bin of the Songshan Sect and the Qingcheng Sect Leader Yu Canghai at Mount Heng had already spread throughout the Jianghu.

"The Gentleman Sword actually dared to openly kill someone from the Songshan Sect; he is truly going head-to-head with Zuo Lengchan!"

"Zuo Lengchan has dominated the Jianghu for these years, but I never expected that he hasn't even unified the Five Mountains internally; this Alliance Chief is truly..."

Someone clicked their tongue and shook their head, clearly enjoying the spectacle and wanting it to escalate.

"This matter has blown up. Fei Bin is Zuo Lengchan's Fourth Junior Brother. Zuo Lengchan has long had the intention to unify the Five Mountains but struggled to find an excuse. I never expected that the Gentleman Sword, wise for a lifetime, would commit such a mistake, giving Zuo Lengchan an excuse. I fear that the people from the Songshan Sect are already on their way to Mount Hua."

"Even the Qingcheng Sect Leader died thousands of miles away; this Gentleman Sword's strikes are much more ruthless than before, and he is even less forgiving!"

Inside a tavern in Luoyang, there was a lot of discussion.

And Zuo Lengchan, naturally, had also long since received the news.
