The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Page 537

Ren Woxing flicked his sleeves and sat in the main seat, with Ren Yingying and Qu Yang standing on either side.

Liu Zhengfeng was brought in and knelt before Ren Woxing. A member of the Demonic Cult stepped forward and presented a letter with both hands.

"Reporting to the sect leader, this was found on Elder Liu."

Ren Woxing accepted the letter expressionlessly, opened the envelope, and read its contents.

"Junior Brother Jiang?"

Ren Woxing sneered, but did not continue speaking. Instead, he handed the letter to Ren Yingying.

Ren Yingying took a look and her face instantly darkened.

"As expected, it was you who tipped off Jiang Ning."

Ren Yingying suspected that Liu Zhengfeng and Jiang Ning were connected. Otherwise, how could Jiang Ning have happened to be there when they were annexing the gangs in Luoyang and when Lan Fenghuang was preparing to take action against the emperor in the capital?

However, she had never been able to find any evidence against Liu Zhengfeng until now, when she caught him red-handed.

Liu Zhengfeng remained silent.

“He pierced his collarbone.”

Ren Woxing said coldly.

"Yes!"

Without hesitation, the two members of the demonic cult picked up their tools and pierced Liu Zhengfeng's collarbone.

Liu Zhengfeng's face turned deathly pale instantly, and blood seeped from his shoulders.

However, Liu Zhengfeng still didn't speak, gritting his teeth and remaining silent.

"Ah."

Ren Woxing laughed.

"He's a good man. I admire men with backbone."

However, Ren Woxing's face instantly darkened again.

"But what I hate most is betrayal."

"betray?"

Liu Zhengfeng finally spoke, and blood foam flowed from the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

“I am a member of the Hengshan Sect, I follow the righteous path, while you are the leader of the demonic sect. Righteousness and evil cannot coexist, so how can you call it betrayal?”

"What a perfect example of 'good and evil cannot coexist'."

Ren Woxing sneered.

"The leader."

At this moment, a newly promoted elder stepped forward and bowed.

"Liu Zhengfeng betrayed the cult and, according to the cult's rules, should be punished with the death penalty."

Ren Woxing didn't speak, but then flicked his finger, sending out a burst of force that struck Liu Zhengfeng's acupoint.

A sharp pain shot through him, and Liu Zhengfeng groaned, his forehead covered in cold sweat. Although he tried to endure the pain, his mouth involuntarily opened.

At that moment, Ren Woxing flicked a pill into Liu Zhengfeng's mouth.

In just a moment, Liu Zhengfeng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he let out a painful roar.

Despite his collarbone being pierced, the two demonic sect disciples almost couldn't subdue Liu Zhengfeng despite his frantic struggles.

At this moment, the Three Corpse Brain God Pill in Liu Zhengfeng's body was stimulated by Ren Woxing, and the corpse worms in the pill awakened and began to gnaw at Liu Zhengfeng's brain on instinct.

"what!!!"

Liu Zhengfeng let out a shrill scream. The intense pain caused him to break free of control, roll on the ground, and roar like a wild beast.

Ren Woxing sneered as he looked at Liu Zhengfeng's miserable appearance.

If Liu Zhengfeng dares to betray him, he will make sure Liu Zhengfeng is devoured by corpse worms and dies.

"Roar!"

Liu Zhengfeng screamed shrilly; at this moment, even the pain of his collarbone being pierced was nothing compared to the pain in his mind.

Liu Zhengfeng clutched his head in agony, pulling out large amounts of hair and even tearing his scalp, leaving it bloody and mangled.

Liu Zhengfeng gripped his head tightly, trying to stick his hand into his brain to pull out the corpse worms.

"what!!!"

Liu Zhengfeng could no longer bear it. He roared to the sky and raised his hand to slap his forehead to commit suicide.

Ren Woxing gave a signal, and several disciples of the Demonic Sect stepped forward and quickly restrained Liu Zhengfeng.

"Kill me! Kill me!!"

Liu Zhengfeng was already being tortured to the point of losing his mind and only wanted to die.

"wanna die?"

Ren Woxing sneered: "You can just enjoy being devoured by corpse worms until you die."

"father."

At this moment, Ren Yingying suddenly spoke up: "Although Liu Zhengfeng has betrayed us, he is still useful. We can spare his life."

Ren Woxing looked at her, his gaze questioning.

Ren Yingying said in a deep voice, "Since Liu Zhengfeng is in contact with Jiang Ning, I have an idea."

"Why not use Liu Zhengfeng as bait, lure Jiang Ning to come alone, fall into our trap, and then kill him?"

After learning that Liu Zhengfeng was informing Jiang Ning, Ren Yingying had this idea in mind.

She hated Jiang Ning to the core. Now that Liu Zhengfeng had been exposed, she might as well use Liu Zhengfeng to lure Jiang Ning here and kill him before leaving, which would both relieve her hatred and eliminate their biggest threat.

Otherwise, having such a top-tier expert constantly looking for and killing them would be extremely troublesome for them.

"Ok?"

Ren Woxing pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"That's a good idea."

Ren Yingying turned to look at Liu Zhengfeng and said expressionlessly.

"Liu Zhengfeng, are you willing to atone for your sins with good deeds?"

Although Liu Zhengfeng was in so much pain that he was almost delirious, he still managed to grit his teeth and speak.

"no way!"

Ren Woxing spoke.

"Liu Zhengfeng, as long as you do as we say and lure Jiang Ning here, I can spare your life and even let you continue to be an elder."

“I… will never… betray… Sect Leader Yue, and… and… Nephew Jiang.”

Ren Yingying said coldly, "So you'd rather die than betray Jiang Ning?"

Liu Zhengfeng roared.

I can die!

"But we must not repeat the same mistake!"

Chapter 733: Testing Chongxu's Attitude

It was Jiang Ning who helped him find his direction again when he was most confused.

It was Jiang Ning who saved Liu Qin's life from the Songshan Sect after he made a grave mistake.

Jiang Ning had done him a great favor.

To make him betray Jiangning?

He would rather die.

"Liu Zhengfeng, being bitten by corpse worms must be unpleasant, right?"

Ren Woxing smiled.

"If you're willing to cooperate, I can give you the antidote, how about it?"

Liu Zhengfeng stopped speaking, clenching his teeth tightly, veins bulging on his neck, his body trembling slightly from the intense pain.

Despite the worms gnawing at his brain and making him suffer terribly, he did not give in. He gritted his teeth and remained silent, showing his stance through his actions.

Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng would rather be bitten by corpse worms than compromise, the other members of the demonic sect in the room couldn't help but be moved.

Despite their differing stances, they couldn't help but admire Liu Zhengfeng.

"Good good."

Ren Woxing, enraged to the point of anger, laughed instead.

"Let's see how long you can hold out."

Having said that, Ren Woxing flicked his sleeves and looked at Liu Zhengfeng.

After a long time.

Liu Zhengfeng was already delirious, but he still did not speak.

Ren Woxing's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

Ren Yingying spoke.

"Do you really think Jiang Ning considers you his senior apprentice? He's just using you. Why would you be willing to do that for him?"

Liu Zhengfeng still didn't speak.

He was on his deathbed and about to die.

Ren Yingying's face was extremely pale, but she still raised her hand and threw out an antidote, signaling her subordinates to give it to Liu Zhengfeng.

The subordinate understood and fed the pill into Liu Zhengfeng's mouth.

After a while, Liu Zhengfeng's body finally stopped trembling.

"Take him away, don't let him die."

Ren Yingying said coldly.

"Yes."

His men carried Liu Zhengfeng away as ordered, and at that moment Ren Woxing looked at Ren Yingying.

"Since he refuses to betray Jiangning, what's the point of keeping him alive?"

Ren Woxing is waiting for Ren Yingying's explanation.

Ren Yingying said calmly, "Although he is unwilling to betray Jiangning, we can use his life to make Jiangning come willingly."

Ren Yingying originally planned to lure Jiang Ning here with Liu Zhengfeng, then set a trap to ambush him and kill him when he wasn't paying attention. However, Liu Zhengfeng refused to cooperate, so she had to change her plan.

Ren Woxing pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Ren Yingying's plan.

"In that case, who should we send to inform Jiang Ning?"

Just as Ren Yingying was about to speak, Qu Yang, who hadn't said a word until now, came to the center and knelt down.

"Master, I am willing to go!"

"Brother Qu?"

Ren Woxing's expression shifted slightly.

Ren Yingying frowned and said, "Uncle Qu, this operation may be very dangerous. You don't need to go. You can send someone else."

"Holy Maiden".

Qu Yang said in a deep voice, "You previously ordered your subordinates to monitor Liu Zhengfeng, but your subordinates failed to discover Liu Zhengfeng's undercover identity, which constitutes dereliction of duty. Your subordinates are willing to take on this task to atone for their sins."

Ren Yingying fell silent upon hearing this.
