"That's what the scout in charge of gathering information said."

"Okay, please step back."

A fierce glint flashed in Xiang Wentian's eyes.

Yanggu is not far from Wubagang, and it won't be long before they arrive, which means Jiangning is about to enter their ambush.

Jiangning.

I will make sure you die a horrible death.

Xiang Wentian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Knowing that Jiang Ning would arrive soon, the Black Wind Society members became even busier, waiting for Jiang Ning to walk right into their trap.

……

Wubagang.

Jiang Ning stood on a flat piece of land, looking at this place.

This is Wubagang.

The terrain in this area is flat, but there are many swamps. In the distance, there are no high mountains, just some ridges.

"Ten miles east, we climbed the hill and passed through the bamboo forest..."

Remembering the exact location of the Black Wind Society that Chen Hu of Yanxi Village had mentioned, Jiang Ning paused briefly before heading east.

Chapter 432: My life is here; if you want it, come and take it.

After riding for ten miles, Jiangning finally saw a dark pine forest on a hill ahead.

This is the road to Shanggang.

"Wait for me here."

Jiang Ning gently patted the horse, then dismounted and prepared to walk.

Next, they had to go up the hill, which was covered by dense pine forests. The horses couldn't get through, so Jiang Ning left them there and would come down after he finished dealing with the matter.

The horse nudged him and obediently stayed still.

Jiang Ning turned and went up the hill.

Wubagang is not high in elevation, and Jiang Ning went up while observing the surroundings.

Generally speaking, powerful forces like these would send people to keep watch at their doorsteps. Jiang Ning was observing whether there were any members of the Black Wind Society lurking in the shadows. If so, he would kill them directly to avoid being detected in advance.

However, Jiang Ning did not see any trace of people along the way.

This is strange.

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

……

"Reporting to the Left Envoy, King Ning Yan has arrived at Wubagang."

"It was a lowly henchman," said one of the underlings.

"it is good!"

Xiang Wentian's eyes lit up.

The other party finally arrived.

"Call all the people we sent out to keep watch back, but don't let them notice."

He inquired about the ways of the world.

"Yes."

The henchman accepted the order and withdrew.

Ji Wushi remained expressionless.

His plan was to operate as normal, without letting the other side see any flaws. Not only that, but he also wanted to increase the number of people monitoring him.

The Black Wind Society controls all the mountain strongholds in Shandong. Jiang Ning had previously wiped out so many strongholds, so the Black Wind Society couldn't possibly have been unaware of this. They would definitely have strengthened their defenses. Therefore, Ji Wushi planned to send these people to Jiang Ning to kill, in order to lower the other party's vigilance.

Although Xiang Wentian agreed to his plan to ambush Jiang Ning at the Black Wind Society's location, Xiang Wentian preferred micro-management and did not listen to him on this point.

Xiang Wentian desperately wanted to kill Jiang Ning. He was afraid that Jiang Ning wouldn't come if he saw that the Black Wind Society was under such tight security, so he called back the people who were keeping watch on him, giving them the illusion that the Black Wind Society hadn't noticed Jiang Ning.

Seeing that Xiang Wentian was doing this, Ji Wushi did not try to dissuade him.

The worst thing a plan can do is to not execute it thoroughly. Ji Wushi was originally very confident in his plan, but now his confidence has been diminished.

He wasn't worried about Jiang Ning; he was worried that Jiang Ning would notice something was wrong and wouldn't enter their ambush.

Ji Wushi knew very well that the reason why his opponent was able to make a name for himself at the age of no more than twenty was not only because of his superb martial arts skills, but also because his mind was far beyond that of ordinary people. Otherwise, he would have died long ago in someone else's conspiracy.

Ji Wushi knew that the plan had been flawed because of Xiang Wentian's micro-management, but he wouldn't go up and try to persuade him.

Regardless, the incident at Mount Hua last year still tarnished his reputation. Although Ren Woxing and Ren Yingying would still use him, Ji Wushi knew very well that his voice was weak. These people were all living on the edge, and if he were to go against Xiang Wentian again, he would not be able to stay here.

Not only that, if they fail to kill Jiang Ning this time, since it was his suggestion, these people won't care about anything else. They will only think that it was his fault that the plan failed, and they will want him dead. Xiang Wentian will also take his life to vent his anger.

Ji Wushi couldn't help but frown and glance at these people.

Before thinking about advancing, think about retreating.

Ji Wushi had already begun to plan his escape route.

……

Click.

Jiang Ning walked through the dense pine forest, his feet crunching softly on the fallen twigs scattered on the ground.

Jiang Ning walked around, observing his surroundings, but still couldn't find a single person.

For some reason, Jiang Ning felt that the place was eerily quiet.

Jiang Ning was already on guard, and his right hand gently rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

They soon reached the end of the pine forest, and Jiang Ning became even more cautious, treading lightly.

After passing through the pine forest, Jiangning finally saw a stretch of buildings.

"Black Wind Society".

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly.

He also saw the three characters above the main gate of the first building.

The gate was tightly shut, and there was no sound, as if no one was there.

Jiang Ning wasn't surprised by this, because some gangs are very well hidden. They may seem deserted, but you only realize how hidden they are once you go inside.

Jiang Ning had visited a gang before. It was in a fishing village that was deserted during the day, like a ghost village. But the gang was located underground in the fishing village, and they only came out at night.

Seeing that he had finally found his destination, Jiang Ning did not rush in and start killing immediately.

Jiang Ning concealed himself and first observed the buildings around him before choosing a corner and slipping inside.

As soon as he landed in Jiangning, he began to observe his surroundings.

unmanned.

Finding the area deserted, Jiang Ning continued walking further in.

Jiang Ning continued walking for a while, but still couldn't see them.

It was completely silent here.

Not right.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly.

He didn't know why, but he had an indescribable feeling in his heart at that moment.

This is not normal.

Since arriving at Wubagang, Jiang Ning felt that the place was eerie. He didn't see any members of the Black Wind Society outside or inside. Although he had encountered them before, he had never seen anyone like this before.

Jiang Ning continued walking around the area for a while, but still didn't see anyone. He was now almost at the center of the complex.

Jiang Ning slowed his pace and looked around.

Not right.

We must leave first.

Jiang Ning turned to retreat, but the next second...

Wow!

The previously deserted Black Wind Society suddenly swarmed out of the shadows with a large group of people.

"Ning Yama, where do you think you're going to escape to?"

One person shouted loudly.

Seeing so many people emerge from the shadows, Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged, but his right hand had already gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

Jiang Ning glanced around; all these people were eyeing him menacingly, ready to swarm him at the slightest sign of trouble.

However, instead of attacking, they parted to make way for a group of people to walk over.

Upon seeing the leader, Jiang Ning's eyes flashed.

"Oh it's you."

Jiang Ning saw several familiar faces.

The leader was Xiang Wentian. Besides him, Jiang Ning also saw the Four Immortals of Peach Valley.

Xiang Wentian sneered. "Long time no see."

Knowing that he had been planted with landmines, Jiang Ning felt calmer.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "It has indeed been a long time."

Seeing that Jiang Ning could still smile at this moment,

"why are you laughing?"

Peach Leaf Fairy mustered her courage and shouted, then hid behind Peach Root Fairy.

Despite having so many people on her side, Tao Ye Xian was still somewhat intimidated by Jiang Ning.

Not only him, but Peach Root Immortal and Peach Branch Immortal were also a little afraid.

However, seeing that everyone around them was on their side gave them a strong sense of security.

Tao Genxian said, "Ning Yanwang, you are now surrounded by us. If you know what's good for you, you should kill yourself."

"So you've made such a big fuss because you want to kill me."

Jiang Ning nodded and then smiled.

"My life depends on this."

"If you want it, come and get it."

Chapter 433: The Great Battle Erupts (Bonus Chapter 1)

If you want it, come and get it.

Jiang Ning's voice was calm, but everyone present could hear it.

"furious!"

Many people were enraged, and if Xiang Wentian hadn't yet given the order, they would have already attacked.

"This is Ning Yanwang?"

Compared to the vast majority of people, this person was looking Jiang Ning up and down.
