inside the house.

Ren Woxing remained expressionless, sensing the surging internal energy within himself.

"Not enough, still not enough."

Ren Woxing uttered a few words softly, his face expressionless.

"We need to absorb the internal energy of more people."

Ren Woxing thought to himself, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Dongfang Bubai, I will definitely defeat you."

After an unknown amount of time, Ren Woxing suddenly frowned, and a ferocious look appeared on his face.

At this moment, he felt a sharp pain in his dantian. Not only that, Ren Woxing also felt his meridians throbbing and aching all over his body, and even his head started to ache and his eyes became bloodshot.

Since descending from Blackwood Cliff, he has been using the Star Absorbing Technique to continuously absorb the internal energy of his subordinates, and has now absorbed the power of dozens of people.

Ren Woxing knew that this was because he had absorbed too much and too mixed internal energy in a short period of time, and he had not refined it completely in time. Too many different internal energies gathered in one body and kept clashing, causing unimaginable pain.

Ren Woxing's temples bulged with veins. He forcibly endured the excruciating pain in his body. After an unknown amount of time, the pain gradually subsided, and Ren Woxing finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaning back in his chair and breathing softly.

His temples were soaked with sweat, and his face was flushed an unnatural red.

After a while, Ren Woxing remained still until the pain in his body completely subsided before getting up. However, as soon as he made a move, Ren Woxing still felt a slight stinging pain in his head.

Ren Woxing couldn't help but frown slightly.

The headaches only started recently; I've never had this before.

Not only that, Ren Woxing also felt a violent emotion raging in his heart, which came with a headache.

Ren Woxing immediately realized that this was because he had absorbed too much internal energy from others, and the side effects of the Star Absorbing Technique were becoming stronger and stronger. His best outcome now was to stop, but he could not and should not stop.

"Dongfang Bubai, I will definitely kill you with my own hands!"

Ren Woxing's expression was ferocious and terrifying, like a wild beast about to go mad.

Ren Woxing sat motionless in the chair. The candles in the room had long been extinguished, and Ren Woxing's figure disappeared in the darkness, like a wild beast hiding in the shadows, ready to devour its prey.

After an unknown amount of time, a sliver of light shone in from outside. Ren Woxing, who was inside, turned his head, looked at the light entering the room, and then looked up at the outside.

Its daybreak.

Ren Woxing got up, opened the door, and walked outside.

"Someone is coming."

At this moment, Ren Woxing had fully recovered and his face was expressionless, only his complexion was even paler, like a vengeful ghost.

"The leader."

Several servants stepped forward and bowed their heads.

Their bodies were trembling slightly.

The aura emanating from Ren Woxing at this moment filled them with terror.

Ren Woxing ignored them and ordered, "Pass down the order to massacre the Golden Saber Sect."

He no longer wanted to wait for the Golden Saber Sect's reply; all he wanted now was to massacre the Golden Saber Sect and use the blood of the entire Wang family to quell the tyranny in his heart.

Chapter 563: We Can't Not Send It

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, several servants trembled and then withdrew to inform the other high-ranking members of the Demonic Sect. Soon, all the high-ranking members gathered in the main hall.

"See the leader."

A group of high-ranking members of the Demonic Sect and martial arts masters knelt down before Ren Woxing. After hesitating for a moment, Liu Zhengfeng also knelt down, sighing inwardly.

They were all experts, yet they groveled before Ren Woxing, showing no dignity befitting a strong person. How were they any different from slaves?

"Well, everyone, get up."

Ren Woxing nodded and said to everyone, "You all know now, I'm going to have you massacre the Golden Saber Sect."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

Ren Woxing said expressionlessly.

"Elder Bao, Elder Wen, Elder Du."

The three people named, Bao Dachu, stepped forward and spoke.

"My subordinate is here."

Ren Woxing ordered, "The three of you, take some men and go and massacre the Golden Saber Sect right now."

Upon hearing Ren Woxing's order, the three nodded in acceptance.

"Yes, Master."

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng couldn't help but step forward and said, "Master, yesterday Wang Yuanba, the leader of the Golden Saber Sect, said he needed to consider whether to join our Divine Sect. Wang Yuanba has not yet replied. Are we going to take action now?"

Ren Woxing forced a smile, which was somewhat chilling: "Since the Golden Saber Sect wants to consider it, then there's no need to consider it. Just wipe out the Golden Saber Sect."

Liu Zhengfeng wanted to say something more, but he felt a chill when he saw Ren Woxing's staring eyes.

"……Yes."

Liu Zhengfeng withdrew.

Ren Woxing then shifted his gaze from him to the crowd.

"Elders and brothers, since some people are ungrateful and do not want to join our religion, let us wipe them out and establish the authority of our religion."

The high-ranking officials and martial arts masters bowed their heads and said in unison, "Yes."

Ren Woxing looked at the three people who had been named.

"Three elders, you should take some of the brothers in the sect and set off now."

"Yes, Master."

Bao Dachu and the other two accepted the order and left. Ren Woxing also left immediately, and the rest of the people left the hall one after another.

Liu Zhengfeng also withdrew, but before leaving, he couldn't help but glance in the direction Ren Woxing had gone, a look of doubt in his eyes.

He sensed that Ren Woxing's current state was a bit off.

"Brother Liu."

Just then, a voice rang out from the side, interrupting Liu Zhengfeng's thoughts. Liu Zhengfeng turned his head to look, then snorted coldly and left.

Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng was now acting like a stranger to him, Qu Yang felt very complicated.

……

"Hahaha, Nephew Jiang is indeed an extraordinary hero."

Wang Yuanba's hearty laughter echoed from inside the house.

Jiang Ning smiled slightly.

In reality, they didn't talk about much; they just chatted about their experiences and martial arts. Wang Yuanba changed his address for him from Young Master Jiang to Nephew Jiang to get closer to him.

“Nephew Jiang, you saved my grandson Pingzhi and avenged his family. I really don’t know how to thank you. I should thank the Huashan Sect.”

Wang Yuanba said.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Sect Leader Wang, there's no need for thanks. Junior Brother Lin is a disciple of my Huashan Sect, and his family's affairs have some entanglements with my Huashan Sect. It is only right for my Huashan Sect to take action."

"You can't say that."

Wang Yuanba shook his head and said, "Although Pingzhi killed Yu Canghai's son first, all the martial arts practitioners can see clearly that regardless of whether Pingzhi killed his son or not, the Qingcheng Sect will not let Fuwei Escort Agency go. Yu Canghai came for the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. It's a pity that my son-in-law's family suffered an undeserved disaster. If it weren't for my nephew Jiang's intervention, I don't know when my grandson's blood feud would be avenged."

At this point, Wang Yuanba sighed and said, "Actually, Pingzhi's mother is my daughter. She and her husband died because of the Qingcheng Sect, and the Lin family was destroyed. As Pingzhi's maternal grandfather, this matter should have been handled by my Golden Saber Sect, but... alas."

Wang Yuanba then explained his reasons.

“Nephew Jiang, I won’t lie to you. When my Golden Saber Sect learned of this news, it was already too late. The Qingcheng Sect was powerful and dominated Sichuan, while the Golden Saber Sect was in Luoyang. The two places were far apart. My Wang family was not as strong as the Qingcheng Sect. If we went to seek revenge, we would only suffer defeat. In addition, Yu Canghai had a good relationship with Zuo Lengchan of the Songshan Sect, and Yu Canghai was using the fact that his son was killed by Pingzhi to make a fuss. Even if my Golden Saber Sect wanted to seek revenge, we would not have a pretext. We would also have to worry about the Songshan Sect targeting our Golden Saber Sect because of this. Moreover, that child Pingzhi did not come to Luoyang to ask my Wang family for help. Even if my Wang family wanted to help, we were powerless to do so.”

Wang Yuanba spoke of the difficulties faced by the Golden Saber Sect. From his perspective, it was indeed inappropriate to travel thousands of miles to avenge his deceased daughter and her family, especially since they might not even succeed. There was a high probability that the enemy would seize the opportunity to annihilate them. Moreover, the Golden Saber Sect was even more afraid that the Songshan Sect would target them because of this, since the Golden Saber Sect and the Songshan Sect were not far apart, and Wang Yuanba was well aware of the Songshan Sect's past power.

Wang Yuanba had already weighed the relative importance of his daughter versus the entire Golden Saber Sect, and in the end, the Golden Saber Sect had no choice but to endure it.

Jiang Ning listened quietly without saying a word, her face expressionless.

These things are irrelevant to him and unimportant.

"Of course, in any case, I still want to thank my nephew Jiang and your sect for your righteous help, which allowed Pingzhi to finally avenge his great grudge and also gave him the good fortune to join the Huashan Sect. This is truly a cause for celebration."

Seeing that Jiang Ning remained calm and unresponsive despite all that he had said, Wang Yuanba continued, "If my Golden Saber Sect is fortunate enough to survive this time, I will present him with a grand gift after this matter is over, and personally go to Shaanxi to thank Sect Leader Yue for saving my grandson Lin Pingzhi's family, as well as my nephew Jiang for rescuing my Golden Saber Sect."

Wang Yuanba had already figured it out. If the Golden Saber Sect wasn't destroyed this time, his Wang family would definitely cling to the Huashan Sect. In that case, his Wang family would offer half of their family fortune as a gift.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. The Huashan Sect is currently at its zenith and its future is immeasurable. If they can get close to the Huashan Sect, then the Golden Saber Sect will have a powerful backer.

Hearing the other party's words, Jiang Ning finally spoke up: "There's no need for gifts. I'll say it again: it's only right for my Huashan Sect to help Junior Brother Lin. Besides, he's now a disciple of Huashan, and it's what my Huashan Sect should do to stand up for him. Sect Leader Wang, there's no need for thanks."

Wang Yuanba was taken aback; he hadn't expected Jiang Ning to refuse.

Are you saying you wouldn't accept money even if it were offered to you?

Wang Yuanba initially thought the other party was feigning refusal, but seeing that Jiang Ning's expression didn't seem to be faking it, he immediately realized he couldn't continue on this topic. So he changed his tune, saying, "Since that's the case, then I'll do as my nephew Jiang says. However, if the Golden Saber Sect can still exist in the future, I still want to go to Mount Hua to see that boy Pingzhi. I haven't seen him for several years. I wonder if he's changed at all, and if he has enough money. This trip will be a good opportunity to send him some money."

Listening to Wang Yuanba's words, Jiang Ning thought that Lin Pingzhi was not short of money. Among the jewelry and porcelain that Jiang Ning obtained after destroying Yu Canghai last time were many priceless treasures. In particular, Lin Pingzhi had already sold them and turned them into cash. Now Lin Pingzhi was very rich and had nothing to lack.

However, this was a private matter between the grandfather and grandson. Jiang Ning thought about it and remained silent, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Seeing Jiang Ning's tacit agreement, Wang Yuanba secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Jiang Ning had made it clear that he would not accept gifts, Wang Yuanba did not give up his idea. He planned to send money to the Huashan Sect indirectly through Lin Pingzhi.

It's impossible not to send it; the other party may refuse to accept it, but the Wang family cannot refuse to send it.

Chapter 564: What are you doing here?

By this time, it was already dawn. Wang Yuanba then stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Nephew Jiang, now that a night has passed and the Demonic Sect has not made any moves, things should remain calm. If you are tired, you can go and rest. Please excuse me for a moment."

Wang Yuanba stood up and said.

He also needed to arrange for his family to leave Luoyang, this troublesome city.

"Sect Leader Wang, please make yourself at home."

Jiang Ning nodded and said.

After Wang Yuanba left, Jiang Ning also got up and walked around the Wang family's house, but soon he saw Wang Jiaju and the others who were looking for him.

"Prince."

Jiang Ning greeted him with a smile, but Wang Jiaju quickly waved his hand, saying, "Please don't call me that, great hero. If you hadn't saved me that time, I would be dead. Now you've come to save my Wang family again. I really don't know how to thank you for this great kindness."

Jiang Ning laughed and said, "Those people were chasing me last time, it had nothing to do with you. If anything, it was my business that implicated you. As for now, it's to stop the Demonic Sect from harming innocent people, which is what we righteous people should do."

Wang Jiaju was deeply moved by Jiang Ning's words.

What a good person he is! How could someone like that be called the King of Hell in the martial arts world?

He had no doubt about the truthfulness of Jiang Ning's words, because everything Jiang Ning had done and said since his debut proved that he was indeed that kind of person.

"Please don't call me Young Master Wang anymore, just call me Jiaju."

Wang Jiaju said.

Jiang Ning laughed as well: "Then don't call me 'Great Hero,' just call me Jiang Ning."

Although Jiang Ning does indeed have the title of "Great Hero of Guanzhong," it's a bit strange to be called that all the time.

"Then I'll call you Brother Jiang."

Wang Jiaju was happy to get closer to Jiang Ning, and at the same time introduced the other two people who were traveling with him to Jiang Ning.

"These two are my cousins."

Accompanying Wang Jiaju were two young girls, his cousins, who were Wang Bofen's two daughters.
