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

"You escaped from Tian Boguang? That lecherous Linghu Chong colluded with Tian Boguang; he's dead, so why bother saving him?"

Upon hearing Yilin's words, Dingyi frowned and reprimanded her.

"What happened to my senior brother?"

Upon hearing Yi Lin's words, Yue Lingshan exclaimed in alarm that she would have rushed over if Ning Zhongze hadn't been holding her back.

Yilin burst into tears, her face streaked with tears, a pitiful sight to behold.

"Master, please save him!"

Seeing her rambling incoherently, like an innocent child, Jiang Ning frowned slightly and stepped forward to ask, "Senior Sister Yilin, where is my senior brother Linghu Chong now?"

Yilin, who was crying loudly, stopped crying a little when she heard this. She looked at Jiang Ning and asked through teary eyes, "Senior brother, are you Brother Linghu's junior brother?"

Jiang Ning and she were addressing each other like "senior brother" and "senior sister," their titles all mixed up. Jiang Ning was too lazy to argue with her and asked again, "Where is he now?"

Yilin sniffed, but her voice still trembled with tears as she said, "In...in the woods thirty miles north of Hengshan City. Brother Linghu was still there when I left last night. He had many injuries."

Jiang Ning pressed further, "Was Tian Boguang there too?"

Yilin nodded, then shook her head: "I don't know either. Tian Boguang was still chasing us when we escaped from Hengyang City."

After receiving the answer, Jiang Ning stopped looking at her and turned to look at Yue Buqun.

"Master, I'll go take a look."

"Go ahead, and be careful in everything you do."

Yue Buqun nodded.

He can't leave now. Dingyi and the Taishan Sect are convinced that Linghu Chong and the infamous Tian Boguang are in cahoots. He has to find out the truth.

"Junior sister, you go with Ning'er."

Fearing something might happen in Jiangning, Yue Buqun said to Ning Zhongze.

Although Tian Boguang's skills are not as good as his, he is still a first-class master. Jiang Ning may not be able to deal with him. It would be safer to have Ning Zhongze go with him.

"it is good."

Ning Zhongze nodded.

Seeing this, Yue Lingshan also wanted to go, but after being glared at by Yue Buqun, she had no choice but to stay where she was.

"Senior brother, Uncle Ning, you must be careful, Tian Boguang is very powerful."

Seeing Jiang Ning and Ning Zhongze leave, Yi Lin quickly wiped away her tears and called out.

"What senior brother! He's younger than you, he's your junior brother!"

Seeing Jiang Ning's previous and current behavior, and seeing Yi Lin's completely lost state, Ding Yi angrily rebuked her.

However, after being scolded like that, Yilin's eyes immediately welled up with tears again.

"Junior sister Yilin, what exactly happened between you and my Huashan disciple Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang? Could you please tell me in detail?"

Yilin turned her head and found that it was Yue Buqun speaking to her.

……

“Ning’er, although Tian Boguang is a lecherous thief, he is quite skilled in martial arts, especially in lightness skills. You must be extra careful when facing him.”

On the way, Ning Zhongze spoke to Jiang Ning as they traveled.

"Don't worry, Master's wife."

Jiang Ning nodded and said.

Ning Zhongze added, "But you don't need to worry too much. With your master's wife backing you up, if we find any trace of Tian Boguang when we go there, your master's wife will take action to suppress him for you, and then you can kill him."

Having been married to Yue Buqun for many years, Ning Zhongze understood why Yue Buqun had asked her to come as well. Besides fearing that something might happen to Jiang Ning, he also wanted her to pave the way for Jiang Ning and use Tian Boguang's life to boost Jiang Ning's reputation.

Previously, Jiang Ning had stayed on the mountain and had never met anyone from the other Five Mountains Sword Sects, which meant that others were not familiar with Jiang Ning. Yue Buqun's move served two purposes: first, to boost Jiang Ning's reputation, and second, to clear the Huashan Sect disciples of the stigma of colluding with Tian Boguang.

Seemingly fearing the impetuousness of the young man from Jiangning, Ning Zhongze added, "Don't be afraid of losing the code of the martial world. There's no need to talk about fighting one-on-one with someone as wicked as Tian Boguang. When we get back, I will tell Master Dingyi and the others that you captured and killed Tian Boguang all by yourself."

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master's wife, I understand."

There's nothing to be awkward about. As long as we're dealing with those evil scoundrels, we should all stand together and let them experience the power of a righteous brawl.

Chapter 73: How can I uphold justice if I'm not more shameless than you?

Jiang Ning and Ning Zhongze continued to use their lightness skills to advance towards the forest thirty miles outside the city. Although Jiang Ning's martial arts were much weaker than Ning Zhongze's, the lightness skills he displayed at this moment amazed Ning Zhongze.

Despite using his lightness skill to travel for such a long time, Jiang Ning not only did not run out of energy, but judging from his rosy complexion and steady breathing, he still had plenty of strength left.

Is the Innate Skill really that powerful?

Ning Zhongze couldn't help but think of this idea at this moment.

She was genuinely interested in seeing how the Innate Skill was cultivated.

It's a pity that the Innate Skill can only be practiced by men, and women cannot cultivate it. She felt a pang of regret when she saw the cultivation conditions for the Innate Skill.

Shaking his head to clear his mind, Ning Zhongze quickened his pace and fully activated his internal energy to unleash the Huashan Lightness Skill.

"arrive."

After leaving Hengshan City, Jiang Ning and Ning Zhongze never stopped, and finally arrived at the forest that Yilin had mentioned.

"Separately search."

Ningzhongze Dao.

The woods in front of us are too dense; searching together would take too much time.

Jiang Ning nodded upon hearing this and began searching in one of the directions.

The surrounding trees were tall and dense, and the vegetation was lush, making it difficult to find people. However, Jiang Ning soon made a discovery.

A drop of congealed blood was visible on a blade of grass not far away.

Jiang Ning walked over to check, and looking up, he found that there were bloodstains all along the way westward from this drop of blood.

Linghu Chong is walking this way?

Jiang Ning did not hesitate and immediately headed in that direction.

As Jiang Ning passed through the dense jungle, he could faintly hear laughter and voices coming from not far ahead.

"Brother Linghu, you let that little beauty get away. You won't play with her, and you won't let me play with her either. You've ruined my fun. Today I'm going to kill you."

"You're willing to sacrifice your own life to save that little nun, which makes you a true man, far superior to countless righteous people. Although my martial arts are superior to yours, I, Tian Boguang, deeply respect your character. I'm willing to befriend you and become brothers. Let's call it even today, shall we?"

As Jiang Ning approached, he noticed a middle-aged man in fine clothes holding a single-edged sword, smiling as he spoke. The man in front of him was none other than Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong lay on the ground, his clothes torn and covered in knife wounds, his body stained with blood, his face pale, looking quite frightening.

"hey-hey."

Upon hearing Tian Boguang's words, Linghu Chong sneered and said, "I am honored that Brother Tian thinks so highly of me, Linghu Chong, but good and evil cannot coexist. I will never associate with you. Just kill me."

Tian Boguang shook his head and sighed, "Why bother, Brother Linghu? Why do you do this? I, Tian Boguang, don't have many friends, but I sincerely want to become brothers with you."

Linghu Chong sneered, "I would never dare to associate with a lecherous scoundrel."

"You call me a lecher? I can accept it if others say so, but Brother Linghu, we once drank and laughed together at Huiyan Tower. I thought you understood me. Do you really think of me that way too?"

A flash of anger crossed Tian Boguang's face, and he was about to speak.

call out!

A gust of wind swept in from behind, and Tian Boguang immediately felt a strong warning jolt behind him.

when!

Tian Boguang quickly turned around and held his single-edged sword horizontally in front of him. The swords clashed, producing a piercing screech.

"Junior Brother!"

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Linghu Chong shouted with delight.

Jiang Ning's face was cold, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

Tian Boguang reacted hastily, unable to exert any force in his hands, the shockwave from the single blade making his arm numb.

Upon seeing the newcomer launch a sneak attack without uttering a word, Tian Boguang was about to curse angrily, but after hearing Linghu Chong's shout, he glanced at Jiang Ning in surprise and said, "You're also from the Huashan Sect?"

Jiang Ning did not respond to him. During the exchange of blows, Jiang Ning raised his foot and kicked him directly in the groin.

Tian Boguang's eyelids twitched violently as he watched, and he immediately withdrew his strength while retreating backward.

Jiang Ning relentlessly pursued him, closing in and raising his sword to strike fiercely, each move aimed at killing him.

when!

when!

when!

Tian Boguang raised his sword to parry, but his arm grew increasingly numb. Seeing the ruthless attacks of his opponent, a fierce glint flashed in Tian Boguang's eyes. When Jiang Ning's next strike came, he stopped defending and used his superb agility to dodge the attack to the side. At the same time, he quickly moved closer to Jiang Ning's embrace, slashing horizontally with his single sword, aiming straight for Jiang Ning's face.

Jiang Ning remained expressionless, raising his left hand. He had grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground when he came over, and now it would come in handy.

Tian Boguang was too close to Jiang Ning at this moment. Caught off guard by Jiang Ning's sudden move, some dirt got into his eyes. Tian Boguang subconsciously closed his eyes, but his hands continued to move.

Jiang Ning leaned back, the single blade slashing across his cheek, while simultaneously kicking him.

Bang!

Tian Boguang was kicked in the chest and fell backward, crashing into a large tree.

"Hi~"

The burning pain in his chest made Tian Boguang hiss involuntarily, and the foreign object sensation in his eyes also made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

After rubbing his eyes hard a few times, the discomfort subsided somewhat. Tian Boguang opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Ning not far away, his expression a mixture of shock and anger.

"Not only did you injure people in secret, but you also used such despicable means. You are truly shameless and despicable. Are you still a disciple of the righteous path? Your character is far inferior to that of your senior brother Linghu Chong."

"Oh."
