Jiang Ning had never thought that a hotpot could be cooked in such a way. However, she did not expect that just a little bit of fragrance could increase one's appetite.
"Everyone, don't be anxious. The ingredients have all been put in. I've also asked my subordinates to cut the meat. It will probably take about an hour or so for the taste to really enter.”Zhou Dian walked out from inside and said with a smile as he smelled the fragrance.
"Tsk tsk, this nourishing hotpot is really delicious. I really don't know how you discovered it.”
Zhou Dian smiled but didn't say anything.
While waiting for the hotpot, Zhou Dian pointed at Jiang Ning and smiled,"It's all thanks to this guy who killed the Wolf King and helped me deal with some miscellaneous matters. Otherwise, it would be a little difficult to eat this perfect nourishing hotpot today.”
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but look at Jiang Ning.
"I knew this kid wasn't simple, but I didn't expect him to be able to kill Wolf King.”
They knew what level the Wolf King was. Jiang Ning looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, but he could actually kill the Wolf King. This was indeed a little unexpected.
"Young and promising." Leng Qian could not help but praise.
"He is indeed young and promising." Yang Xiao nodded.
"If it weren't for the recent events, I would have killed that beast long ago.”Wei Yixiao said.
Everyone fell silent.
"Everyone, don't worry. If the six great sects dare to come, all of you seniors will naturally be able to easily defeat them.”
At this moment, Jiang Ning spoke with a smile.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone stared at Jiang Ning.
Oh no!
Jiang Ning could not help but be stunned. He had said the wrong thing. It was impossible for the six sects to know about the siege of Light Summit. Everyone only knew that someone wanted the Ming Cult to take action, but no one knew about it, let alone the fact that the six sects would attack Light Summit.
The righteous path was very secretive about this matter, even they could not investigate anything, they only felt that something would happen.
Moreover, there were no rumors spreading in the Ming Cult, but Jiang Ning had exposed it with a single word. How could their expressions not change?
Jiang Ning was familiar with the plot. He had said the wrong thing and revealed the future. Some things were not good.
"What did you just say?"
Yang Xiao spoke with a cold tone as he stared at Jiang Ning. This was the first time Jiang Ning had seen Yang Xiao so serious.
The previous dejection was dispelled, replaced by the arrogance and seriousness of a superior.
At this moment, even Zhou Dian couldn't help but stare at Jiang Ning. Although he was more interested in Jiang Ning, he would never act rashly when it was related to the sect.
Feeling the atmosphere suddenly become stiff and serious, Jiang Ning knew that if he couldn't answer properly, he would be finished.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ning gathered her thoughts and immediately stood up.
"Seniors, I have something that I've been suppressing in my heart for a long time, but I didn't dare to say it out loud because of my lowly status.”
"Tell me."
"Tell me." Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao spoke one after another, staring at Jiang Ning curiously.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Ning said,"" A few days ago, when I left the mountain, I happened to meet a disciple of the Wudang Sect and befriended him. I hid my identity and learned that someone was secretly sowing discord. With Mount Emei and Mount Hua as the leaders, they invited the six major sects to come to the Ming Cult's Light Summit, saying that they wanted to subdue the devil.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present was instantly shocked.
"Impudent." Leng Qian opened his mouth, appearing furious.
"How dare these guys slander us?”Zhou Dian couldn't help but get angry.
"Gather the six great sects? Attack Light Summit? Our Five-Element Flags 'Heaven, Earth, Wind and Thunder Army won't be able to get up even if they attack for ten days and ten nights.”Grandmaster Bu Bu said with a smile, but his eyes were cold with killing intent.
"Is this news true?" Yang Xiao looked at Jiang Ning and asked.
"I dare to swear that if this hadn't happened, the heavens would have destroyed the earth. In a few days, the six great sects would have attacked our sect. Also, seniors, don't underestimate us. This time, I heard that other than the sect leaders of Kongtong, Shaolin, and Wudang, the other sect leaders will come, especially Mistress Miejue, who will bring Heavenly Sword to attack.”
Jiang Ning said seriously.
"Abbess Miejue." Yang Xiao's eyebrows twitched, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes that could not be concealed. However, he quickly concealed it and looked at Jiang Ning,"How can I trust you?"
" I am a disciple of the Ming Cult. I have been an orphan since I was young and it was the Ming Cult who raised me up. The Ming Cult is my home. Even if I am cut into pieces by the enemy, I, Jiangning, will never do anything to harm the Ming Cult. If I do, I will be punished by the heavens and destroyed by the earth, and both men and gods will be furious.”
Sensing Yang Xiao's doubt, Jiang Ning immediately spoke up and swore as if he didn't need money.
Righteous words.
However, the ancients had always been fond of oaths. After Jiang Ning made the oath, everyone no longer doubted him.
"Surround Light Summit? Hmph, I want them to never return.”
Wei Yixiao said coldly.
"We can't be careless. We have to think about this matter carefully.”Yang Xiao spoke. He felt that the matter was very serious.
"Indeed, we can't be careless."
"If the six great sects really come, it will definitely be no small matter. If we are careless, our Ming Cult will be destroyed.”
"Indeed."
The rest of the people spoke up one after another. They realized how serious this matter was.
But at this time, Jiang Ning said,""I believe that the Ming Cult will naturally have the help of the heavens this time. I have some thoughts during this period of time, but I don't know if I should say them.”
Since he had already said it, Jiang Ning decided to do something for the Ming Cult in order to protect his own safety.
"Oh, what plan? Tell me quickly.”
Yang Xiao looked at Jiang Ning curiously.
The others also looked at Jiang Ning, not knowing what to do. After all, he was just a disciple and had no status.
" Actually, the six sects want to encircle and annihilate our Ming Cult. We shouldn't panic or rush. We should take it slow. Forgive me for being blunt, but the Ming Cult is already somewhat divided now. If we return to the heyday, with the Four Guardian Kings around, we wouldn't be afraid even if many sects came, let alone the six sects. However, the other party is only taking advantage of the opportunity to attack.”
" Seniors, I'm afraid that the Ming Cult is now at a critical moment of life and death. Therefore, I hope that all of you can do your best to bring your former subordinates and disciples who have concealed their identities to the Ming Cult, such as the White-Browed Eagle King. However, you must do it secretly so that the enemy will not notice. At the same time, you will train your disciples and conduct military exercises. This way, we will be more confident.”
Jiang Ning revealed his plan.
It was naturally good to come prepared.
"Military exercise? What does that mean?" This was the first time everyone had heard of this term, and they couldn't help but look at Jiang Ning curiously.
" Oh, it's a simulated battlefield. If the six great sects really attack, how should the Ming Cult disciples deal with them? What kind of situation should they encounter and what methods should they use to prevent it? This way, an effective battle will definitely bring gratifying results.”
Jiang Ning said calmly.
"What a good military exercise! If he used it well, there was indeed an incredible method. Good, good, good.”
Yang Xiao was the first to stand up. He understood and praised Jiang Ning.
"Indeed, this military exercise is very interesting.”Wei Yixiao couldn't help but praise.
"Not bad." Everyone agreed.
At this moment, Yang Xiao stood up and raised a glass of wine. He looked at Jiang Ning and said,""Jiang Ning, if what you said is true and our Ming Cult can escape this crisis, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Ming Cult disciples.”
As he spoke, Yang Xiao respectfully toasted Jiang Ning.
This was the Left Light Emissary, a famous figure, yet he was bowing to Jiang Ning at this moment. For a moment, Jiang Ning was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor.
"Thank you."
Since Yang Xiao had already bowed, the rest of the people also bowed to Jiang Ning to show their respect. This was not to bow to Jiang Ning, but because Jiang Ning had indirectly saved the entire Ming Cult. This was an immeasurable merit.
After drinking, Yang Xiao continued,""Pass down my decree, the Sharp Gold Flag Jiangning will be promoted to the governor of the four gates.”
The rise in status surprised Jiang Ning. The Ming Cult's hierarchy was divided into the Cult Master, Left and Right Light Emissaries, the Four Great Shakyamuni, the Five Great Freelance Disciples, then the Governors of the Four Gates, the Deputy Governors of the Four Gates, the Sect Master, the Deputy Sect Master, the Sect Master, then the Flag Bearer, the Deputy Flag Bearer, the Hundred Flag Bearer, the Ten Flag Bearer, and finally the Disciples.
Five Elements Flag, Sharp Gold Flag, Giant Wood Flag, Flood Flag, Raging Fire Flag, Thick Earth Flag, a total of 6,500 people.
The four sects, Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, and Thunder, had a total of four thousand disciples. They were all extraordinary martial arts experts.
In other words, Jiangning had directly become the governor of the four gates who controlled the lives of tens of thousands of people. This level was really high.
