151: The four friends of Meizhuang (please subscribe to all)

The next day, Ning Yuan continued to lead the group on their journey as if nothing had happened.

Lao Denuo seemed preoccupied.

He kept looking around.

"Lao Denuo, do you have something on your mind?" Ning Yuan suddenly asked.

Lao Denuo froze, then quickly composed himself and said, "No, Disciple was just wondering if Junior Brother and the others were slacking off on the mountain."

"Since everything is fine, let's go." Ning Yuan smiled slightly.

Lao Denuo nodded quickly.

In his heart, he felt strange. "Yesterday I told Yue Buqun the whereabouts of Feng Buping and the other two, and I also saw Yue Buqun go out, so why didn't anything happen today?"

Although he muttered to himself, he didn't dare to ask more at this moment, so he had to suppress his doubts.

The group of six headed towards Fuzhou, but before that, Ning Yuan decided to head to Jiangnan first.

And the bodies at the Mountain God Temple were soon discovered by someone.

Mount Song had planted many spies near Huashan, and soon someone reported to Zuo Lengchan.

Several days later.

Zuo Lengchan received the news, and his expression was one of shock.

It was unbelievable.

"What? Feng Buping and the other two are dead?"

Zuo Lengchan slapped the table and said angrily, "Even three pigs would squeal when they die. They were, after all, former experts of the Sword Sect, how could they die so silently?"

"Who could kill them so easily?" Zuo Lengchan demanded.

At this moment, Ding Mian spoke up, "Senior Brother, could it be Yue Buqun."

"Yue Buqun?"

Hearing this name, Zuo Lengchan stroked his beard, his eyes filled with contemplation. "Based on my previous experience fighting him, Yue Buqun is indeed capable of such strength."

"I didn't expect Yue Buqun to be so ruthless. He didn't kill them on Huashan, but instead struck after they left the mountain. Gentleman Sword? Heh..."

"What a righteous Gentleman Sword!" Zuo Lengchan sneered.

Then someone continued to report, "Reporting to the Alliance Leader, according to the clues left by our informant, it is said that Yue Buqun and his group are taking Lin Pingzhi to Fuzhou Prefecture."

"Going to Fuzhou?"

Hearing these two words, Zuo Lengchan's eyes lit up immediately. "Could the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual still be hidden in Fuzhou?"

"Yue Buqun is going to Fuzhou to retrieve the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual!"

A smile appeared on Zuo Lengchan's face. "Yue Buqun, you have finally revealed your true colors. Your schemes are truly impressive."

"Someone, we will depart for Fuzhou immediately. I want to wait for him to walk right into the trap in Fuzhou." Zuo Lengchan's expression was solemn as he said loudly.

This time he wanted to gather all the experts to deal with Yue Buqun.

As for the people from the other sects, once he completely dealt with Yue Buqun and Huashan, the remaining sects would be nothing but fish in a barrel.

Especially if he could obtain the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual of Lin Yuantu, the former number one swordsman in the world who had long been famous in the Jianghu, his strength would become even stronger, and he would have the confidence to deal with the Sun Moon Divine Sect leader, Dongfang Bubai.

He was determined to get the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual.

If he didn't get it, Yue Buqun would, and if Yue Buqun got it, it would make Yue Buqun's strength even greater.

By then, his position as Alliance Leader would truly be in jeopardy.

Therefore, upon learning that Yue Buqun was going to Fuzhou to retrieve the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual, Zuo Lengchan couldn't care about anything else.

This was the most important thing right now.

...

Half a month later.

Ning Yuan brought Ning Zhongze, Yue Lingshan, Madam Wang, Lin Pingzhi, and Lao Denuo to Jiangnan.

As for Lao Denuo, he brought him on purpose, just to pass information to Zuo Lengchan.

Stepping into Jiangnan again, Ning Yuan felt a bit lost.

After all, in the Tian Long World, he was the number one person in Jiangnan.

The Murong family was also the number one family in Jiangnan.

Now, times had changed.

"Father, aren't we going to Fuzhou? Why have we come to Hangzhou?" Yue Lingshan couldn't help but ask curiously.

Lin Pingzhi behind them also showed a probing look.

He was also anxious, but he couldn't show it.

After all, this trip to Fuzhou was to retrieve things from his Lin family, and the only thing worth such a grand effort from the Lin family was the legendary Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual of the Jianghu.

If he could obtain his family's ancestral sword technique, he might be able to gain high-level strength as quickly as possible.

It might even be faster than the progress of the Sword Sect's martial arts.

He couldn't help but be anxious.

Moreover, he was actually worried that Yue Buqun would keep such a powerful sword technique for himself.

After all, Yu Canghai, Mu Gaofeng, and even Zuo Lengchan were coveting his family's ultimate skills.

It was just that he couldn't say such things, let alone show them.

"I have come to Hangzhou to visit a friend. You may stay here for the time being." Ning Yuan said calmly.

After arranging for everyone, Ning Yuan headed to the West Lake Plum Manor.

...

Plum Manor.

Plum Manor was built right next to the West Lake.

The scenery was beautiful.

But the vermilion gates were tightly closed.

After Ning Yuan arrived, he knocked on the door, and soon a servant opened it.

"May I ask who Your Excellency is?" The servant looked at Ning Yuan curiously.

"Just say that Yue Buqun of Huashan is here to visit the Four Friends of Plum Manor." Ning Yuan didn't hide his identity and said directly.

After all, his appearance and martial arts were widely circulated in the Jianghu, and he was a well-known figure; he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.

"I will go right away." Hearing that the other party was a Sect Head of the Five Mountains, the servant said quickly.

Not long after.

Huang Zhonggong, Hei Baizi, Tu Biweng, and Dan Qingsheng appeared together.

All four of them had solemn expressions.

After all, they were followers of the Sun Moon Divine Sect and were hostile to righteous sects like the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

Even though they had long intended to withdraw from the Martial Forest, they had not yet done so.

"I have long heard of the Gentleman Sword's great name. I wonder what business Headmaster Yue has in coming to our Plum Manor?" When Huang Zhonggong reached the door, his face was already full of smiles as he cupped his hands and said.

"Of course, it is to eliminate demons and defend the Dao!" Ning Yuan also smiled and said directly.

Once these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a bit awkward.

Huang Zhonggong laughed, breaking the silence, "Headmaster Yue is joking. We, the Four Friends of Plum Manor, only care about the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting in our lives. There are no demons for Headmaster Yue to eliminate."

"Are you sure there aren't any?" Ning Yuan smiled playfully, looking the four of them up and down, implying something.

This caused their hearts to sink.

"Yue Buqun, what do you mean?" Hei Baizi couldn't help but snort and said, "Although you are the famous Gentleman Sword of the Jianghu, we, the Four Friends of Plum Manor, have never been involved in the affairs of the Jianghu, nor have we ever done evil. Why does Headmaster Yue force us so relentlessly?"

"It seems that the four of you have forgotten your true identities." Ning Yuan snorted and raised his head, "Do you really want me to explain the relationship between the four of you and the Demon Sect?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the four changed.

Although they guessed that Yue Buqun might know something, saying it in public now undoubtedly extinguished their last glimmer of hope.

The four looked at each other, their faces gradually becoming solemn, and they all became vigilant.

"Headmaster Yue, we joined the Divine Sect back then, but Ren Woxing's style was inconsistent with our values, and we have long since withdrawn from the Divine Sect. Does Headmaster Yue really have to kill us all?" Huang Zhonggong asked in a deep voice.

"If the four of you had long since severed ties with the Demon Sect, I would naturally be able to show mercy, but have the four of you really withdrawn from the Demon Sect and stopped working for them?" Ning Yuan asked playfully.

The four of them immediately felt their hearts sink.

Huang Zhonggong asked calmly, "What does Headmaster Yue mean by this?"

The matter of imprisoning Ren Woxing here, let alone the entire Jianghu, was not known to many even within the Sun Moon Divine Sect.

It was a top secret of the Divine Sect.

Therefore, he didn't think that Yue Buqun, a mere Huashan Sect Leader, could know the forbidden secrets of the Divine Sect.

"Four of you, it seems you are still stubborn." Ning Yuan's face turned cold, "I have already given you a chance, but since you are resisting stubbornly, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Facing Ning Yuan's severe reprimand, although the four of them were unsure, they still didn't admit it.

"Headmaster Yue, even if you want to kill us, there must be a charge. I don't know where we have offended Headmaster Yue?" Dan Qingsheng cupped his hands and asked.

"Since you are at death's door and refuse to repent, I will let you die with clarity." Ning Yuan snorted, then said: "Do you really think no one knows what the four of you are doing in this Plum Manor?"

"Does it really need me to point out who is imprisoned under this West Lake?"

"I don't want to kill the innocent either. Once this name is spoken, I'm afraid I will have to be ruthless to you all." Ning Yuan's words were unkind.

When this was said, the expressions of the four changed drastically.

The other party's words were already so clear, indicating that he already knew who was imprisoned under Plum Manor.

And he was here for this reason.

Although they didn't know how Yue Buqun knew about it, it obviously didn't matter at this moment.

"Headmaster Yue, what exactly do you want to do?" Huang Zhonggong stood out with a solemn expression, "He has already been imprisoned under the West Lake and can no longer harm the Jianghu. Does Headmaster Yue come here to eliminate demons, or to release the Devil Head?"

"Of course, it is to eliminate demons and defend the Dao!" Ning Yuan laughed softly, "He wreaked havoc on the Martial Forest back then. Once he returns to the Jianghu, he will surely stir up bloody storms. Therefore, I will do the extermination today, so he won't have a chance to return to the Jianghu."

The four, Huang Zhonggong and his group, looked at each other. Naturally, they had no loyalty to Ren Woxing, and they were already afraid of him. However, they were under the orders of Dongfang Bubai and did not dare to let outsiders in easily.

"I think Headmaster Yue is overthinking. No one knows the news of Ren Woxing being here. With us guarding, no one can sneak in and release him. Ren Woxing will surely die of old age at the bottom of the lake." Huang Zhonggong said.

Hei Baizi, who was on the side, flashed his eyes and also said: "That's right, Headmaster Yue is kind-hearted and dedicated to the Righteous Path of the Jianghu, but I think you are overthinking this matter."

Hei Baizi was still plotting to get Ren Woxing's "Star Absorbing Skill", so naturally he didn't want Ren Woxing to die so easily. Otherwise, wouldn't he have guarded for more than a decade for nothing?

"Even I know this news, do you think others won't?" Ning Yuan sneered, "I'm afraid that the confidants of Ren Woxing from the Demon Sect will arrive here soon, and perhaps in the near future, the entire Jianghu will know about this."

"Now that I have arrived one step ahead, I naturally want to avoid all accidents."

"If you four let me see Ren Woxing today, it would be fine. If you don't let me, then I can only offend you."

Ning Yuan slowly drew his long sword, his words cold.

Upon hearing this, the four looked at each other, all showing signs of deep thought.
