"Yeah."
The person who spoke nodded quickly.
"I'm used to calling it that, and I haven't been able to change it yet."
"However, on the other hand, Master Jiang's breakthrough to the Innate Realm is truly a joyous occasion for the righteous path."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Yes, for many years the Demonic Cult has been powerful while the Righteous Path has been weak. But things are different now. Ren Woxing, that demon, is dead, and the power of the Demonic Path has greatly diminished. Master Jiang is now the only immortal on land in this world. As the saying goes, the Demonic Path is declining while the Righteous Path is rising. The hard times for us Jianghu people are finally over."
"That's right. The Demonic Sect has oppressed us for so many years and we have a deep-seated hatred for them. Now the righteous forces are at their zenith, and we are just waiting for Master Jiang to wave his hand and completely wipe out the Demonic Sect in the future!"
Although Ren Woxing is dead, there are still countless members of the Demonic Sect on Blackwood Cliff. The martial arts world has been oppressed by the Demonic Sect for so many years and has long hated them to the bone. Now they are all waiting for Jiang Ning to attack Blackwood Cliff.
"If Master Jiang decides to attack Blackwood Cliff, I, Wang Wu, will be the first to respond!"
"Me too!"
"Correct!"
Everyone said.
After the initial outrage subsided, the crowd began discussing the Mount Hua Sword Tournament again.
"By the way, are you guys going to Mount Hua to watch the Mount Hua Sword Tournament?"
"Of course we'll go!"
"We definitely have to go. There will surely be many masters attending the Mount Hua Sword Tournament. We can broaden our horizons by going."
"That's right, it would be an honor to see Master Jiang make a move."
Everyone said one after another.
"But speaking of which, Master Jiang is already a terrestrial immortal in the Innate Realm, so why hasn't the ranking of the top ten righteous masters been changed yet?"
"Although Master Fangzheng is highly skilled in martial arts, it is clear that the number one expert in the righteous path has changed hands. What are we waiting for if we don't make changes now?"
"Do you think Master Fangzheng will attend the Mount Hua Sword Tournament?"
"He'll probably go. After all, this is a major event in the martial arts world, and Master Fangzheng was once the number one master of the righteous path. Wouldn't it be a shame if he didn't go?"
With the end of the demon-slaying operation, martial artists across the land are now discussing three things: Jiang Ning's succession as the head of the Huashan Sect, the news of Jiang Ning's breakthrough to the Innate Realm, and the Huashan Sword Tournament.
All three of these events are related to Jiang Ning. It can be said that the words "Jiang Ning" and "Huashan Sect" have become the most talked-about words in the martial arts world.
Time passed day by day, and many martial arts practitioners who lived far from Mount Hua had already set off for Mount Hua.
Even the capital city dispatched a team heading towards Mount Hua.
Mount Hua is now the center of the martial arts world.
……
Three months have passed in a flash.
With less than a month to go before the grand ceremony in October where Jiang Ning will succeed as the leader of the Huashan Sect, the entire Huashan Sect is currently extremely busy.
Squeak.
The door to Jiang Ning's room opened from the inside, and Jiang Ning walked out.
Liu Zhao was kneeling outside.
"Disciple respectfully welcomes Master upon his return from seclusion."
Liu Zhao bowed to Jiang Ning and said.
Jiang Ning looked at Liu Zhao with some surprise in his eyes.
"How long have you been here?"
After returning to Mount Hua, Jiang Ning immediately went into seclusion to comprehend the Innate Realm and ignored all outside affairs until now. He did not expect that Liu Zhao would be waiting for him here.
“Since Master went into seclusion, I have been waiting outside the courtyard every day for Master to emerge from seclusion.”
Upon hearing Liu Zhao's words, Jiang Ning's expression changed slightly.
"Get up."
Jiang Ning helped Liu Zhao up.
"Yes, Master."
Liu Zhao replied.
Jiang Ning looked at Liu Zhao's current appearance and felt somewhat emotional.
He remembered that when he first met Liu Zhao, Liu Zhao was only seven years old. Now, five years later, Liu Zhao is twelve years old.
I never imagined time would pass so quickly.
Seeing Liu Zhao's serious face, upright posture, and mannerisms that resembled his own, Jiang Ning felt a stirring in his heart.
Where is your master?
Jiang Ning asked.
Liu Zhao quickly replied, "Master is currently talking with Senior Uncle Linghu and Senior Uncle Lingshan."
Jiang Ning nodded.
"Let's go find your master."
"Yes."
Liu Zhao nodded.
The two set off from their residence and made their way to the main peak, encountering many Emei and Kunlun disciples along the way.
The Kunlun disciples, Huashan disciples, and Emei disciples, who had been living on Mount Hua for some time, had developed much closer relationships.
"Junior Brother Jiang."
"Master Jiang".
Along the way, the Kunlun and Emei disciples that Jiang Ning encountered greeted him. Those who called him Junior Brother Jiang were Emei disciples, while those who called him True Man Jiang were Kunlun disciples.
Jiang Ning responded to each question one by one, until his smile became a little stiff. Finally, Jiang Ning quickened his pace and led Liu Zhao to the Suoyoubuwei Pavilion.
"Chong'er."
At this moment, Yue Buqun was talking with Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan, while Ning Zhongze was nearby.
"The disciple is here."
Linghu Chong stood up, came to Yue Buqun, and cupped his hands in greeting.
Yue Buqun looked at him, paused, and said, "You and Shan'er are in love, and I have promised to betroth Shan'er to you. Now that you are of age, it is time for you to settle down."
Linghu Chong became excited after hearing this.
Are he and his junior sister finally about to get married?
"I have decided that after Ning'er's succession ceremony is completed, you and Shan'er will choose a date to get married."
Linghu Chong was overjoyed and immediately knelt down.
"Thank you Master!"
Yue Lingshan was overjoyed and knelt down beside Linghu Chong, facing Yue Buqun.
"Thank you dad!"
Yue Buqun looked at the two of them and couldn't help but smile.
Ning Zhongze, on the other hand, smiled and teased Yue Lingshan.
"After all, a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. Now that you're about to get married, you're probably eager to leave your father and mother's side."
Yue Lingshan was shy and blushed immediately upon hearing this, saying, "Mother, what are you saying!"
"Even if my daughter marries my senior brother, she will still be my father and mother's daughter, and she will continue to live on Mount Hua and stay by my parents' side."
Upon hearing Yue Lingshan's words, the smiles on Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze's faces faded slightly, and they said nothing.
The upcoming changes at Huashan Sect are known only to them; the other Huashan disciples are unaware of them. Even Linghu Chong and Yue Buqun have forbidden him from revealing the matter beforehand. They plan to announce it at the succession ceremony in Jiangning.
Linghu Chong smiled upon hearing this, but said nothing.
Just then, Jiang Ning and Liu Zhao walked in.
"Master and Mistress."
As soon as Jiang Ning entered, he saw Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan kneeling on the ground. He thought the two had angered Yue Buqun, but seeing the joy on their faces, he subconsciously realized that Yue Buqun had probably agreed to let them get married.
"Ning'er? You've emerged from seclusion?"
Upon seeing Jiang Ning, Yue Buqun's face lit up with surprise and delight.
Chapter 753: Truly a Divine Method
"Yes."
Jiang Ning nodded.
Liu Zhao then bowed to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze.
"Grand-disciple Liu Zhao greets his master and grand-master."
Upon seeing Liu Zhao, Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze's smiles became even more amiable.
"Good boy, get up quickly."
Ning Zhongze quickly replied.
Yue Buqun and his wife truly adored Jiang Ning's disciple.
Every time they saw Liu Zhao, it reminded them of their childhood in Jiangning.
Yue Buqun and his wife had long regarded Jiang Ning as their own son, and they also treated Jiang Ning's disciple Liu Zhao as their own grandson.
He treated Liu Zhao better than his other disciples, just like the affection between grandparents and grandchildren in an ordinary family.
"Ning'er."
Yue Buqun looked at Jiang Ning and smiled, "You've been in seclusion since you returned to Mount Hua. Now that you've emerged, have you completely stabilized your cultivation level?"
"good."
Jiang Ning nodded.
"This disciple has gained a great deal from this seclusion to comprehend the Innate Realm."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun's eyes lit up, and he asked, "May I take a look?"
Ning Zhongze, Linghu Chong, and Yue Lingshan also became interested.
They also wanted to know how the skills displayed by those at the Innate Realm differed from their own.
Jiang Ning smiled and nodded.
"Of course, Master and Mistress, please move outside the courtyard."
Jiang Ning was the first to walk outside, followed by Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze, Linghu Chong, and Yue Lingshan.
Jiang Ning was standing outside the courtyard when he suddenly raised his hand, channeled his inner energy, and struck a large tree in the distance with his palm.
Yue Buqun and the others only saw an invisible stream of air blast out with Jiang Ning's palm force, which struck the big tree in the blink of an eye.
boom!
The tree exploded instantly.
Upon seeing this, Yue Buqun and the others' gazes sharpened.
That wasn't all. Jiang Ning looked at a large rock several feet away, rolled up his sleeve, and a gust of air was released again, which actually lifted the large rock up and sent it flying not far away.
boom!
The large rock crashed to the ground, creating a crater and making a loud noise.
