135: Gathering in HengshanChapter 135: Gathering at Mount Heng

After a long while, Ning Zhongze let out a muffled groan, her body trembled, and only then did she react, releasing her hands from around Ning Yuan’s head.

But she dared not look directly at Ning Yuan.

”Junior Sister is indeed delicious.”

Ning Yuan stood up, smiling as he spoke.

This made Ning Zhongze even more shy, not daring to lift her head, and she muttered, ”Senior Brother, what nonsense are you spouting...”

”In my eyes, Junior Sister, everything about you is pure.”

Ning Yuan’s voice was gentle.

Ning Yuan continued, ”I helped Junior Sister resolve it, but now I’m also suffering greatly, so I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble Junior Sister.”

”Me?”

Ning Zhongze looked up, a hesitant expression on her face, ”But I...”

With this thought, Ning Zhongze could only shyly agree.

After all, the former Yue Buqun always acted like a proper scholar when doing such things, very prim and proper.

And in recent years, with the rise of Mount Song and the threat of Zuo Lengchan, Yue Buqun had not had any intimacy for many years.

These two nights, however, had opened the conservative Ning Zhongze’s heart and rekindled her desires.

Ning Yuan tenderly brushed a strand of hair from Ning Zhongze’s forehead behind her ear.

Ning Zhongze’s gaze darted away, and she shook her head.

Ning Yuan put his arm around Ning Zhongze’s neck and kissed her deeply.

Ning Zhongze’s clothes also became fewer and fewer... The next day.

Ning Yuan’s Comprehension Ability had already stacked to ten times.

This was also the limit a person could achieve within ten days.

It was also the current limit Ning Yuan could obtain, as Smiling, Proud Wanderer was not like Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils; he only had Ning Zhongze by his side at the moment.

However, the time spent in this world would be longer than in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, so Ning Yuan was not in a hurry.

He could Cultivate slowly.

He had been too rushed in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils before.

Although his Internal Energy had improved, his martial arts were actually very crude; when facing experts, he always relied on brute force.

His actual combat methods were still far inferior to those of Qiao Feng and Jiumozhi.

Ning Yuan focused his mind and continued to refine his swordplay.

The sword moves of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, one by one, one form after another, flowed more smoothly and perfectly in his hands.

Two days later.

Ning Yuan walked down Si Guo Cliff.

After three days of Cultivation, with the ten-fold Comprehension Ability boost, Ning Yuan had completely mastered the Five Mountains Swordplay and its counter-moves, using them with practiced ease.

Moreover, the improvement brought by Comprehension Ability was different from the speed of Cultivation; the increase in Comprehension Ability made it easier for him to thoroughly grasp the Profound Truths of this Cultivation Technique, even to innovate and draw inferences from other cases.

It even increased his combat experience.

”Ten-fold Comprehension Ability is already so formidable; I wonder what a hundred-fold Comprehension Ability would be like?”

”Perhaps I could even create my own Divine Skill and ultimate techniques.”

”Thus, I must exchange for Bei Ming Divine Skill and Star Shift. These two martial arts have great potential. Perhaps in this world, I can advance Bei Ming Divine Skill to the Body Transformation, or even Golden Core Realm, or even Divine Ability!”

Ning Yuan thought silently.

Now he was wanted by the Divine Court, and to escape these troubles, he only had strength... ”Senior Brother, something bad has happened.”

Just as Ning Yuan was about to descend the mountain, Ning Zhongze rushed over and handed him a letter.

”Abbess Dingyi of the Mount Heng Sect said that Chong’er abducted a Disciple of the Mount Heng Sect, and now they have captured Lingshan. They want us to bring Linghu Chong to exchange for the hostage.”

”I believe Chong’er is definitely not such a person, Senior Brother, there must be a hidden reason behind this.”

Ning Zhongze said anxiously.

”Junior Sister, don’t worry. Abbess Dingyi is a Buddhist, so there might be a misunderstanding. She will definitely not harm Lingshan at this moment. I will go down the mountain now.”

Ning Yuan’s expression was calm, which also eased and calmed Ning Zhongze’s agitated mood a little.

Jade Maiden Peak of Mount Hua.

”Greetings, Master!”

As Ning Yuan appeared, all the Disciples immediately cupped their hands and bowed.

”Hmm.”

Ning Yuan nodded slightly, then said indifferently, ”Descend the mountain.”

”Yes!”

All the Disciples showed joyful expressions.

Compared to practicing martial arts on the mountain, going down the mountain was naturally more interesting.

Then, the group left Mount Hua and headed towards Mount Heng.

Although Ning Yuan’s Internal Energy had not greatly improved at present, he could use various sword techniques with ease.

This gave him some confidence.

After all, to obtain enough Luck to exchange for ”Bei Ming Divine Skill,” he had to take the initiative; staying on Mount Hua was meaningless.

The acquisition of Luck was to seize what rightfully belonged to the protagonist.

And the protagonist of Smiling, Proud Wanderer was undoubtedly Linghu Chong.

What Linghu Chong possessed was the swordplay within Si Guo Cliff, which brought Ning Yuan 50 points of Luck.

After that were Ren Woxing’s Star Absorbing Skill, Shaolin’s Yi Jin Jing Internal Energy, Feng Qingyang’s Nine Swords of Dugu, and Ren Yingying.

In addition, he had to drastically change the plot, seize a higher position, and obtain everything that did not originally belong to Yue Buqun.

”Five Mountains Alliance Chief!”

Ning Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, ”Zuo Lengchan, I’m coming!”

On the way to Mount Heng, Ning Yuan was constantly comprehending Zixia Divine Skill.

This was the Foundation Cultivation Technique of the Qi Sect of Mount Hua.

Of the nine Cultivation Techniques of Mount Hua, Zixia was first, followed by Rejuvenation and Longevity, Golden Goose Soaring, Embracing the Origin as a Pillar, Primordial Foundation, Two Energies Establishing Directions, Four Symbols Forming Laws, Innate Eight Trigrams, and Qi Men Dun Jia.

If Zixia Divine Skill was mastered, the palm force would be faint and cloud-like at first, but the accumulated power would be extremely resilient, eventually overwhelming and unstoppable.

The face of the person performing the skill would be covered in purple Qi, hence the name Zixia.

It could be called a top-tier Internal Skill of its time.

Although it was far from comparable to ultimate Cultivation Techniques like ”Bei Ming Divine Skill,” its value reached 100 points of Luck.

The original Yue Buqun had only initially mastered Zixia Divine Skill.

Yet, it made Zuo Lengchan wary of him.

Mu Gaofeng and his ilk dared not engage him in combat.

Seven days passed.

Ning Yuan did not waste any of the ten-fold Comprehension Ability boost.

His understanding of Zixia Divine Skill had further deepened.

Ning Yuan silently circulated his True Qi, and the True Qi permeated all the acupoints throughout his body, his face instantly turning purple.

A surge of powerful energy accumulated in his palm.

”This martial art is enough to allow one to Cultivate to the Gang Qi Realm. No wonder it has such a great reputation in the Smiling, Proud Wanderer world.”

Ning Yuan thought silently.

After all, in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, there were no more than ten people who could Cultivate to the Gang Qi Realm level of Internal Energy.

And if Zixia Divine Skill could achieve Major Achievement, it would also enter such a Realm, which was quite commendable.

”Even if Zuo Lengchan’s Frost Palm is incredibly powerful and strange, its Cultivation Technique’s concept and potential are far inferior to Zixia Divine Skill.”

With this as a Foundation, coupled with his swordplay, even if he encountered Zuo Lengchan now, he would be able to contend... Inside Hengshan City, heroes gathered, it was bustling, yet also filled with hidden dangers.

And at the Mount Heng Inn.

Liu Zhengfeng, dressed in a wealthy merchant’s robe and with a rounded figure, was smiling at the entrance, welcoming guests.

Abbess Dingyi, with a grim face, led the Mount Heng Disciples into the inn.

”Abbess Dingyi has traveled a long way; Liu is deeply honored.”

Liu Zhengfeng, with a face full of smiles, cupped his fists in greeting.

Abbess Dingyi also forced a smile onto her face, ”Sir Liu, you are able to withdraw from the Jianghu and enter officialdom. I hope you can bring benefit to the region.”

”Abbess, please come in quickly.”

Liu Zhengfeng personally ushered the Mount Heng group into the inn.

Meanwhile, Ning Yuan also led the Mount Hua Disciples into Hengshan City.

They heard passing children loudly singing, ”Washing hands in a golden basin, a lamb entering a tiger’s den, family ruined, Devil King running rampant.”

”Senior Brother, the lyrics this child is singing seem to be somewhat directed at Liu Zhengfeng...”

Ning Zhongze frowned, her expression grave.

”In the Jianghu, one is not free; emotional entanglements are hard to refuse, and grievances are endless.”

”Once one steps into the quagmire of the Jianghu, how many can truly retreat unscathed?”

Ning Yuan’s expression was calm.

”Senior Brother, you mean?”

Ning Zhongze’s expression changed slightly.

”It seems someone has set their sights on Liu Zhengfeng this time. It will be difficult for him to retreat unscathed!”

Ning Yuan shook his head, but then added, ”However, since I am here, I will never allow villains to run wild.”

Soon, the group also arrived at the Mount Heng Inn.

”Sect Head Yue, Heroine Ning, welcome!”

Seeing Ning Yuan and Ning Zhongze, Liu Zhengfeng immediately stepped forward to greet them.

”Sir Liu!”

Ning Yuan also had a face full of smiles.

”Please come in quickly.”

As Ning Yuan and the others entered the inn, the Mount Heng people immediately glared at them furiously.

”Yue Buqun, hand over Linghu Chong!”

Abbess Dingyi immediately reprimanded him.

The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became tense, creating a standoff.

”Yue Buqun, your Mount Hua people killed my Mount Tai Sect Disciple. As the Sect Head, you must give my Mount Tai Sect an explanation.”

Just then, people from the Mount Tai Sect suddenly appeared, carrying a corpse.

Immediately after, several more corpses were carried in.

”Yue Buqun, your chief Disciple Linghu Chong killed my Disciple. You must give me an explanation.”

Yu Canghai, the Sect Head of the Qingcheng Sect, also stood out and spoke coldly.

Facing the coercion of the three sects, the Mount Hua people also felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Ning Zhongze also frowned deeply, but she did not speak, instead looking at Yue Buqun.

”Abbess Dingyi, Taoist Songfeng, and fellow practitioners of the Mount Tai Sect, you ask Yue to give you an explanation. Should you not also give Yue an explanation, so that I may know exactly what has happened?”

Ning Yuan asked calmly and composedly.

Ning Zhongze, standing beside him, also nodded in agreement.

”Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun is indeed not simple. He remains fearless in the face of danger and can still handle our accusations with composure.”

Yu Canghai snorted coldly, his words containing a hint of sarcasm.

Facing Yue Buqun’s composure, Abbess Dingyi couldn’t help but state the reason, ”Yue Buqun, Taoist Tiansong of the Mount Tai Sect personally saw your Disciple Linghu Chong drinking and befriending Tian Boguang, and even abducting my Disciple Yilin. Everyone here knows what kind of person Tian Boguang is. That your Disciple Linghu Chong can associate with such a person, his character is clearly revealed.”

”If anything happens to Yilin, I will make you, Yue Buqun, regret it as well.”

Abbess Dingyi waved her hand, and immediately a Disciple brought Yue Buqun out of the room.
