That night.
Jiang Ning received an invitation letter from the Huashan Sect. It was an invitation letter to the Sword Guardian Meet.
Originally, the invitation letter was meant to invite the elders and core disciples of all the famous sects to participate after the Sword Guardian Meet ended. Even the top ten of the Sword Guardian Meet were eligible to participate.
But now, the grand ceremony was brought forward, which meant that something was amiss.
Holding the invitation letter, Jiang Ning understood everything. He knew that he had caused a huge disaster, but he was not afraid at all. He had come to the Huashan Sect to participate in the grand ceremony and to understand what the Huashan Sect was doing.
When the time was right, he would leave immediately. As for the Huashan Sect, he was not afraid of anyone, unless Feng Qingyang was here.
Otherwise, no one could stop him from leaving.
Just like that, time slowly passed.
The next day, the first ray of golden sun shone in front of Jiangning's window. He hadn't slept for the entire night, not because he was depressed, but because he didn't want to sleep. In the end, he was still worried that the Sun Moon Sword Sect would be foolish and send out experts to assassinate him. If he were to sleep, wouldn't he die of depression if he was not careful and failed miserably?
With the invitation, Jiang Ning left the building and headed to the Huashan Hall alone.
They were not holding banquets and waiting for the elders and core disciples of the big sects in the martial world.
By the time Jiang Ning arrived, he was already a little late. Most of the sect elders had already sat down.
There were a total of twelve long tables from the inside to the outside of the hall. There was one on each side, which meant that there were twenty-four tables. The Huashan Sect was naturally the leader.
The first on the left was the Wudang Sect, and the one on the right was Shaolin.
Next were the Emei Sect, Kongtong Sect, and other big sects. Jiang Ning came slowly, and he was arranged to be the last. This was not discrimination, but according to status, Jiang Ning had always been mysterious. No one knew his sect, only that his strength was extraordinary.
Sitting in his own seat, two beautiful maids poured wine for Jiang Ning, serving him properly, unable to find any fault.
Soon, a few people sat down beside Jiang Ning. There were four people sitting at a long table. They were all young elites who had been invited this time. Because there was no competition, the Huashan Sect could only make a comprehensive evaluation based on their reputation, status, and strength.
Sixteen experts of the same age were invited to visit.
At this moment, a man walked in from the door. This man had a delicate and handsome face, and he had a frivolous aura. However, Jiang Ning could clearly feel that this man's swordsmanship was very strong. There was also a faint gaze in his eyes, but it was not as strong as his own.
He was an extraordinary person.
Of course, compared to Jiang Ning, he was still a little lacking. However, Jiang Ning relied on the system to increase his realm level. The other party was different. He had cultivated for real. It was not an exaggeration to call him a dragon among men.
"Hey, isn't this Senior Brother Li? Long time no see, long time no see."
"Senior Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Come, let's have a drink together.”
"Brother Sun, why are you sitting here? Do you want a drink?"
Unlike other young experts, this person didn't have the coldness of an expert. On the contrary, he was very easy-going. He kept calling him senior brother, giving enough face to others. Moreover, he had a wide network, and almost many people knew him.
"Ahem."
At this moment, an elder of the Huashan Sect coughed slightly, indicating for the person to behave. When the latter heard the cough, he immediately smiled awkwardly and found his seat, sitting down.
He poured himself a glass of wine and sat next to Jiang Ning.
"I am Linghu Chong. May I know how I should address you?”
He said his name.
Linghu Chong!
Jiang Ning had guessed his identity, but she couldn't confirm it. Now that he admitted it, Jiang Ning smiled.
Linghu Chong had no parents since he was young. He was the protagonist of the Laughing Proud Jianghu. Later on, he cultivated the Nine Swords Beyond the Swords and the Muscle-bone Strengthening Scripture. He was an amazing person.
Moreover, he was easy-going and valued friendship. Jiang Ning also had a good impression of him.
"I am Jian Kuang. Greetings, Brother Linghu.”
Jiang Ning raised his wine cup and clinked it with Ling Huchong's. Without saying anything, he raised his head and poured the wine.
"Sword Maniac? You are Sword Maniac." Linghu Chong's expression changed slightly as he looked at Jiang Ning. There was no disgust in his eyes, but a kind of passion, an indescribable passion.
"I heard that you defeated the Wudang hero Song Yuanqiao with a single strike and broke Sword3's legs yesterday?”
He said this without avoiding suspicion. Although everyone knew this kind of thing, it would be embarrassing to say it in front of them.
"That's right. Don't tell me Brother Linghu wants to find trouble with me?”
Jiang Ning drank a cup of wine alone, a faint smile on his face as he spoke calmly.
"No, no, no." Ling Huchong waved his hand and laughed in a low voice,"Defeating Great Swordsman Song was Brother Jian's ability. As for Sword3, to be honest, I've been unhappy with him for a while now.”
"But your excellency, you were indeed a little ruthless."”
"You have to hit the dog hard, or the dog will have no memory.”Jiang Ning said as he drank another cup of wine.
"Hahahaha, you're right. Just based on this sentence, I, Linghu Chong, acknowledge you as my friend.”
Linghu Chong said with a big laugh, but Jiang Ning didn't smile, because he was afraid that Linghu Chong wouldn't be able to smile.
Just like that, time slowly passed. Before long, everyone who was supposed to come had arrived.
After everyone had arrived, the Huashan Sect's vice sect leader said,""Everyone, today's grand ceremony has been brought forward for one thing. I believe that the various large sects should know about this matter, so I won't avoid arousing suspicion.”
The moment the Huashan Sect's vice sect leader spoke, everyone fell silent.
"The martial arts world was originally extremely harmonious. However, ever since the appearance of a sect, the world has been in chaos and the flames of war have been raging. I don't need to say which sect this sect is, and everyone knows which sect it is. That's right, it's the Ming Cult.”
Jiang Ning's expression remained calm, but she couldn't help but feel excited.
" The Ming Cult is a sect from the Western Regions. It's one thing for the Persians to come to the Central Plains and seize resources. They even deliberately massacred the people and killed the innocent. It's a demonic sect. Today, the Huashan Sect's Sword Guard Meet is a grand ceremony to invite all the righteous sects in the world of martial arts to discuss and attack the Ming Cult and eliminate the demons.”
These words were said with passion, as if he was making a huge sacrifice for the sake of the world.
"As expected." Jiang Ning thought to herself, but her face remained calm, as if she didn't feel anything.
"The Ming Cult has indeed committed all kinds of evil, especially the Golden Fur Lion King. He killed so many people in order to obtain the Dragon Slaying Saber.”
"The Golden Fur Lion King and the Green-Winged Bat King are also demons. They suck human blood and are cruel by nature. If they don't die, the world will eventually fall into chaos.”
"Slay the demons!"
"That's right. Slay the demons."
Many people spoke up and agreed with this sentence. For a moment, the scene was ignited. Everyone was of one mind, just to kill the demon.
Everyone was discussing. Of course, it was the higher-ups of the various sects who were discussing. The ordinary disciples knew their identities and did not say a word.
Four hours passed and the discussion was over. What was next was to discuss the details of the plan. However, Jiang Ning heard an important piece of news.
"You must adjust the resources of the various sects and attack Light Summit within a month.”
In the original plot, they would attack Light Summit three months later, but now it was brought forward by more than a month. Jiang Ning could not help but worry for the Ming Cult after hearing this.
"Then let's discuss the second matter.”
At this moment, the Huashan Sect's vice sect leader spoke slowly. He even glanced at the people from the Sun Moon Sword Sect and continued,"Yesterday, I heard that someone injured a disciple of the Sun Moon Sword Sect and was extremely cruel. He broke the other party's legs. I wonder if Sir Sword Maniac knows about this?”
he said vaguely as he looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning, who was still in deep thought, couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this. He looked at the Huashan Sect's Vice Sect Leader and nodded generously."There was one thing that I did.”
He was very direct and efficient.
"Bang! Since you did it, why don't you kneel down and face the law?”
Elder Zhang of the Sun Moon Sword Sect suddenly slammed the table and roared at Jiang Ning. He was extremely furious.
