166: Kill Ping Yizhi's wife!
On the other side, after Xiang Wentian left, he wore a heavy expression.
"Yue Buqun?"
"Does he really have such strength?"
"Seeing the resolute way the three of them spoke, they didn't seem to be lying."
"Moreover, recent rumors in the Jianghu say that Yue Buqun actually dared to openly provoke Zuo Lengchan, and even Zuo Lengchan is extremely wary of him. If Yue Buqun did not possess such strength, Zuo Lengchan would never have let him off so easily."
"It seems this Yue Buqun has truly become extraordinary lately."
"Could it be because he obtained the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual that he has such strength?"
Xiang Wentian could not help but have such suspicions. After all, the matter of the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual had been the talk of the Jianghu for the past few months, and now the descendants of the Lin family and Madam Lin, who were rumored to possess the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual, were all under the protection of Yue Buqun, so it was reasonable that Yue Buqun had obtained it.
"Does the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual really have such power?"
"Forget it, I will wait for an opportunity to test Yue Buqun's strength, and at the same time, arrange for people to secretly search for the Cult Leader."
"The dungeon collapsed with such great force; even if the Cult Leader could escape, he must have been severely injured. This might be the reason why there has been no news about the Cult Leader in the Jianghu."
"As long as I hear reports of someone absorbing others' internal energy, I should be able to determine the Cult Leader's whereabouts."
Xiang Wentian's eyes set, and he rushed towards Luoyang.
Meanwhile in Luoyang.
Ning Yuan was looking at the black clothes and black mask on the table in front of him.
Ning Yuan slowly put them on, looked at the reflection in the bronze mirror, and said faintly: "The identity of Yue Buqun as a paragon of virtue must be maintained. Since the Star Absorbing Skill has a similar effect to my Bei Ming Divine Skill, then why not let Ren Woxing be resurrected!"
"Only I know about Ren Woxing's death. Even Huang Zhonggong and the others only have my word for it. Even if Ren Woxing reappears in the Jianghu, they might have some suspicions, but they might also think it's only natural."
"After all, Ren Woxing dominated the Jianghu for decades; everyone will surely believe he had some means of preserving his life."
Ning Yuan put away the clothes and walked out of the room.
He saw Ning Zhongze and the others comforting Qu Feiyan.
"Miss Qu, rest assured, you are safe here. Zuo Lengchan cannot threaten you. It is just a pity that I was a step too late when I rushed over and could not save Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng."
Ning Yuan said with a look of regret, then snorted coldly, "Although the people of the Demonic Cult deserve to die, stopping killing with killing, and involving innocent people, is not something we of the Righteous Path should do."
"The Demonic Cult cannot be wiped out entirely. As people of the Righteous Path, we should give those members of the Demonic Cult who have not committed major evils a chance to be guided toward goodness, rather than killing the innocent indiscriminately."
"People like Elder Qu should not have been killed; instead, they should have become examples for us in the Righteous Path to lead them to the right path, for others in the Demonic Cult to learn from."
"Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot. I didn't expect Headmaster Yue to have such Buddhist nature! amitabha!"
Just then, a group of monks walked into the inn.
"It is actually Great Master Fang Zheng from Shaolin."
Seeing the person who had arrived, Ning Zhongze immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"Great Master Fang Zheng has not left the mountain for a long time. Now that you have suddenly come down, surely something major must have happened in the Jianghu?"
Ning Yuan also asked.
"amitabha, has Headmaster Yue not received the news?"
Great Master Fang Zheng looked puzzled, then added: "Alliance Leader Zuo sent a message to this old monk, saying he wanted to discuss a major matter in Luoyang."
Hearing this, Ning Yuan's eyes flashed, and he immediately guessed Zuo Lengchan's purpose, then chuckled: "So it is this matter. I didn't expect Zuo Lengchan to have even invited Great Master Fang Zheng down from the mountain. It seems Daoist Chongxu of Wudang must be on his way as well."
"amitabha, this old monk is unaware of that."
Great Master Fang Zheng shook his head.
"In that case, I will not disturb Great Master Fang Zheng."
Ning Yuan smiled slightly and led the others away from the lobby.
After returning to the room, Ning Zhongze asked with worry: "Senior Brother, it seems this Zuo Lengchan is truly coming with ill intentions."
"Don't worry. The people of the world, as well as the Sect Heads of various Schools, are not so easily fooled. Anyone can see his little schemes. He wants to join forces with other sects to deal with us, but who would dare to cooperate with him?"
Ning Yuan said dismissively.
"That's good."
Ning Zhongze breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Madam Wang knocked on the door, "It's bad, that Miss Qu has suddenly fallen into a coma."
"A coma?"
Ning Yuan opened the door and saw the young girl Qu Feiyan in Madam Wang's arms.
"Quickly go find a doctor."
Ning Zhongze said immediately.
However, Ning Yuan raised his hand to stop her, "Since we are in Luoyang, why look for a doctor? I heard that the divine physician Ping Yizhi lives in seclusion in Luoyang; we can just go find him directly."
"Senior Brother is right, but Ping Yizhi is also called the 'Killer Physician' and has an eccentric personality. I'm afraid he won't easily lend a helping hand."
Ning Zhongze said, looking worried.
"Once we see him, we will find a way."
Ning Yuan led Ning Zhongze, Madam Wang, Qu Feiyan, as well as Yue Lingshan, Linghu Chong, and Lin Pingzhi to the Ping residence.
Ping residence.
"So it is the Huashan Sect Leader. However, in my place, no matter who it is, they must follow my rules. Since I am called the 'Killer Physician', I must kill one person to save one person. But unfortunately, I have no enemies, so Headmaster Yue should go back."
Ping Yizhi sat in the seat of honor and directly served tea to see the guests out.
"Mr. Ping, this girl is only twelve or thirteen years old. Wouldn't it be a pity if she just died like this?"
Ning Zhongze said quickly.
But Ping Yizhi didn't even lift his head.
Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan were also quite anxious.
"Divine Physician Ping, I wonder if you have any other requirements? Perhaps we can be of help."
Linghu Chong cupped his fists and said solemnly.
"I said, my rules are my rules, they cannot be broken!"
Ping Yizhi snorted, still not looking pleasant. "Even if your Alliance Leader Zuo from the Five Mountains Sword Sect came, my rules would still be the same."
"Your Excellency has a big mouth!"
Lin Pingzhi was a bit annoyed.
Recently, after joining Huashan, he had been admired everywhere he went. This was the first time someone had shown such a lack of respect for Huashan.
And even to Yue Buqun's Face.
"Who are you? Since when is it your turn to speak here?"
Ping Yizhi glared, then looked at Ning Yuan, "Headmaster Yue, don't think that just because I, Ping, am a doctor, I can be bullied by anyone at will."
Ping Yizhi said indifferently.
He didn't know martial arts.
But he had saved countless Jianghu experts, countless Jianghu people owed him favors, and countless Jianghu people were waiting to owe him a favor.
Therefore, once his intention was expressed, many people would surely stand up for him.
"Mr. Ping has misunderstood. I very much respect your rules, Mr. Ping. Kill one, save one, very fair."
Ning Yuan slowly stood up and said calmly. Just as Ping Yizhi was about to ask Yue Buqun what he meant, an ugly woman walked in from the side. The woman looked at everyone with an unpleasant expression, and just as she was about to speak, Ning Yuan slashed with his sword.
The woman's eyes widened suddenly, revealing disbelief.
"Yue Buqun, what are you doing?"
Ping Yizhi also stood up in shock, pointing at Ning Yuan and shouting sternly.
"Senior Brother?"
Even Ning Zhongze's expression changed. After all, that was Ping Yizhi's wife.
Now, asking Ping Yizhi to save someone without having received the other party's permission, yet killing the other party's wife—would this not forge a deep enmity?
"Kill one to save one. I am acting according to your rules, sir. Can Mr. Ping save the person now?"
Ning Yuan looked at Ping Yizhi with a smile.
"You killed my wife and still want me to save someone?"
Ping Yizhi raised an eyebrow.
Ning Yuan just smiled and said: "I have long heard that Mr. Ping harbors great resentment towards your own wife. Now I have simply followed your wishes. Does Mr. Ping think I killed the wrong person?"
Ping Yizhi stared at Ning Yuan for a moment. Just when Ning Zhongze and the others were worried and confused, Ping Yizhi suddenly laughed, "What a great Yue Buqun, what a great Gentleman Sword."
Ping Yizhi clapped his hands, "I have long been annoyed by this woman. Headmaster Yue actually saw the problem at a glance. Good, very good!"
"Since Headmaster Yue has removed a thorn in my side for me, I will naturally take action. Just settle the little girl in the room, and after I apply a few needles, she will wake up."
Ping Yizhi said confidently.
"Good."
Ning Yuan gestured, and Madam Wang hesitated for a moment before carrying Qu Feiyan into the room.
Not long after, when Madam Wang walked out of the room, Ping Yizhi also went in.
At this time, Ning Zhongze could no longer hold back, "Senior Brother, why did you kill Madam Ping?"
"How did you know Ping Yizhi harbored murderous intent towards his wife?"
Ning Zhongze pressed.
"Master, is acting like this against morality?"
Linghu Chong hesitated for a moment before asking as well.
"Hmph."
Ning Yuan snorted coldly, then showed a gentle expression to Ning Zhongze, "The relationship between Ping Yizhi and his wife has long been clear. And don't think that this Madam Ping is a good person. Relying on Ping Yizhi's medical skills, she has harmed countless innocent lives, which is how they amassed such great wealth."
"Even her own family has benefited greatly and harmed the neighbors."
"My killing her can be considered eliminating a harm for the people."
"It is completely in line with moral righteousness."
Ning Yuan said righteously.
"There is such a thing?"
Hearing this explanation, Ning Zhongze's expression softened a bit, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because her Senior Brother's actions just now really shocked her.
Such behavior was no different from the Demonic Cult or what Zuo Lengchan did.
Clearly, Ning Zhongze was also worried that after her Senior Brother's strength increased, he would become ambitious like Zuo Lengchan or Ren Woxing in the past.
Shortly after, Ping Yizhi walked out of the room.
"She will wake up in less than three quarters of an hour."
Ping Yizhi said indifferently.
"Many thanks, Mr. Ping."
Linghu Chong immediately cupped his fists.
He was also friends with Qu Yang, and now that Qu Feiyan was fine, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Ping Yizhi did not look at Linghu Chong, but instead looked at Ning Yuan.
A smile suddenly appeared on his Face, "Headmaster Yue, the person you killed this time is of high value, so I will give you another diagnosis."
"Oh? What diagnosis?"
Ning Yuan asked calmly.
Ping Yizhi's gaze passed over Ning Yuan and landed on Ning Zhongze and Madam Wang beside him, a smile appearing on his Face.
