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

A disciple of Mount Hua smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. We heard that your family suffered a mistreatment, and the sect leader instructed us to come and visit you."

The man was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"So, Your Majesty the Celestial Venerable already knows about my affairs? Does Your Majesty the Celestial Venerable wish to see me?"

Another Huashan disciple laughed and said, "The sect leader is busy with countless affairs and has no time to deal with your matter. He just asked us to handle it after he heard about it."

The commoner hesitated upon hearing this, but the Huashan disciple noticed his hesitation and said, "What? You've already brought this to Huashan, are you afraid we won't handle it impartially? Besides, the sect leader already knows, so why are you worried?"

Upon hearing this, the commoner was relieved and nodded, saying, "Whatever you heroes want me to do, I will do my best to cooperate."

Seeing his expression, the Huashan disciples finally relaxed. One of them laughed and said, "Let's go. This is not the place to talk. We'll take you to another place, and you can tell us the whole story there."

The commoner did not suspect him, nodded and prepared to leave, but at that moment a voice came from outside.

Where are you taking him?

Yue Buqun walked in, his face grim.

Upon seeing Yue Buqun, these Huashan disciples were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.

"Master."

Yue Buqun looked at them.

"Did the sect leader send you?"

"Master... this..."

The group was flustered and had not expected Yue Buqun to come. When faced with Yue Buqun's question, they stammered and could not answer.

Yue Buqun, still unaware of what was happening, let out a cold snort.

"You lot, come with me to Mount Hua to see the sect leader."

Upon hearing the words "Sect Leader," the group's expressions changed drastically, but they dared not say anything and could only obediently follow him away.

Seeing this, the commoner knew what had happened. These people were not sent by Jiang Ning at all. When Yue Buqun asked him to go up Mount Hua together, he quickly followed.

……

Lobby.

The commoner knelt down immediately upon seeing Jiang Ning in the main seat.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to redress my grievances."

The man kowtowed and wept.

Jiang Ning stood up and helped him up, asking, "Have you seen me before?"

The man cried as he said, “A gentleman named Ji Wushi gave me your portrait and said that as long as I see you, I can clear my name.”

No plan can be devised?

Jiang Ning was surprised to hear Ji Wushi's name from these common people.

Jiang Ning's expression softened as he said, "What's your name? Tell me everything that happened in your family, and if you've been wronged, I'll stand up for you."

Only then did the commoner speak.

"My name is Liu Fusheng, and I live at home..."

After hearing the whole story, Jiang Ning remained calm and said to the people, "I know. You can go and rest now."

Upon hearing this, Liu Fusheng hurriedly said, "Your Excellency, my family..."

"I will send someone to verify this. If it is true, I will seek justice for you."

Jiang Ning comforted her.

Liu Fusheng was relieved and left with a Huashan disciple, where he stayed on the mountain.

Yue Buqun, standing to the side, frowned and asked, "Ning'er, what are you going to do?"

Jiang Ning coldly said, "Immediately send people to recall all Huashan disciples in Anyang County, and at the same time, immediately interrogate the Huashan disciples who just contacted Liu Fusheng, and find out who else is protecting him besides them."

Yue Buqun nodded.

The interrogation results came out quickly, but what shocked Yue Buqun was that it involved several Huashan disciples, led by Dai Weiqi. These were disciples Yue Buqun had taken in before, who had grown up with Jiang Ning since childhood and had been in Huashan for more than ten years. It could be said that Yue Buqun had a deep affection for them, but he never expected that they would also be involved.

The Huashan disciples who impersonated Jiang Ning and contacted Liu Fusheng were instructed by Dai Weiqi and his group. They wanted to resolve the matter privately and did not want it to escalate to Jiang Ning's attention.

They were able to do this entirely because of profit. The Huashan disciples in Anyang County would also share in the profits they obtained through trickery and coercion. It was because of this profit that they dared to do such a thing right under Jiangning's nose.

"Master, I know I was wrong. Please have mercy on me."

Dai Weiqi and the others kowtowed repeatedly to Yue Buqun, begging for mercy, their tears and snot everywhere.

"Master, I was bewitched and blinded by gold and silver. I know I was wrong. Please spare my life."

Yue Buqun looked at them with a look of utter disapproval, listened to their pleas for mercy, gave a heavy snort, and then walked into the main hall.

Jiang Ning was sitting in the main seat at that moment, expressionless.

"Ning'er, what do you want to do?"

Seeing Jiang Ning's expression, Yue Buqun asked.

Jiang Ning said expressionlessly, "The Huashan disciple who caused the family to be destroyed and the people who protected him, Dai Weiqi and Fu Ying, including those who tried to cover up this matter in my name, will be exterminated."

"The remaining Huashan disciples involved in this matter will have their martial arts skills abolished and be expelled from the Huashan Sect."

Yue Buqun, who was initially furious and wanted to severely punish them, was taken aback upon hearing Jiang Ning's words.

Jiang Ning's inhumanity in punishing dozens of Huashan disciples for this incident made Yue Buqun feel that the punishment was too harsh.

“Ning’er, the Huashan disciple in charge of Anyang County deserves to die, but Wei Qi and the others were not involved. They may not even know. It’s just out of camaraderie that we’ve stripped them of their martial arts and expelled them from the sect. As for the remaining disciples who kept it a secret, they will be severely punished, but not expelled from the sect.”

Yue Buqun offered his suggestions.

"Too light."

Jiang Ning shook his head without hesitation.

“As disciples of the Huashan Sect, they violated the sect rules, oppressed the people, and deceived their superiors and subordinates. Only by doing so can they be warned.”

"Their punishment is also a message to the other Huashan disciples: if you try to use your status as a member of the Huashan Sect to do evil, this is what will happen to you."

Jiang Ning's voice was extremely cold.

Seeing Jiang Ning's resolute attitude, Yue Buqun frowned and said.

"Isn't this going a bit too far?"

Yue Buqun couldn't help but say.

"Master."

Jiang Ning looked at him.

"To correct a wrong, one must go to extremes."

Chapter 805: Dealing with the Huashan Disciples

"At the same time, the Huashan Sect will also conduct a thorough investigation to see if other Huashan disciples are also in the same situation."

Jiang Ning could not tolerate the Huashan Sect under his command becoming a mountain pressing down on the people, nor could he allow the dragon slayer to become the new evil dragon.

The sights Dai Weiqi and his group revealed made Jiang Ning realize that they might not be isolated cases. Generally, when a cockroach is exposed to sunlight, it means that there is already a nest of them in the dark.

Jiangning is going to conduct a major investigation to find all these people.

At this moment, Jiang Ning's intense killing intent left Yue Buqun speechless.

"Ning'er".

Yue Buqun was silent for a moment, then said, "Wei Qi and the others are, after all, your fellow disciples, who grew up with you since childhood. Do you... really want to kill them?"

Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged as he spoke, word by word.

“Master, if the Huashan Sect in my hands is no longer an umbrella protecting the people from the rain, but instead becomes a new demonic sect, I would rather destroy it.”

To become a new evil cult?

Jiang Ning's words struck Yue Buqun like a heavy blow, leaving him speechless for a long time.

After a long while.

"I understand. Then let's proceed according to your decision."

Yue Buqun said in a low voice, then turned and left.

"I will take care of this."

"Master."

Jiang Ning called out from behind, but Yue Buqun waved his hand.

"They are, after all, your fellow disciples. Let your master handle this."

Despite disagreeing with Jiang Ning in the main hall, Yue Buqun changed his expression once he left the hall.

"Master, we really know we were wrong, please spare our lives!"

"Yes, Master, please put in a good word with the Sect Leader. We are fellow disciples."

Dai Weiqi and the others kept begging for mercy.

By this time, many Huashan disciples had already gathered outside, and they all discussed among themselves as they watched the few people begging for mercy on the ground.

Yue Buqun looked at them, his expression unreadable.

After a while.

"Wonderful."

Yue Buqun spoke.

How many years have you been at Mount Hua?

Dai Weiqi quickly replied, "I entered your school at the age of twelve, and it has been twenty-three years since then."

"Twenty-three years."
