Chapter 538 - 538 Trepidation
538 Trepidation
Zhu Asi’s att.i.tude was very unpredictable. Jiang Ming could only look around and slowly lower his head.
A cold light flashed in his eyes.
“Good!”
Jiang Ming vaguely understood that this must be someone sent by Elder Mo to test his strength. However, this guy’s att.i.tude was too unpleasant. He was sn.o.bbish, and he looked down on everyone as if they were ants.
However, Zhu Asi was obviously not afraid of Wu Ming. It was enough to see that the other party had a deep foundation. Perhaps he had some powerful trump cards on him. If he used them all, his combat strength would definitely be exceptionally shocking.
“If that’s the case, then I can’t let Wu Ming and the others attack. If anything happens, the Flowerfruit Sect won’t be able to bear the losses.”
Jiang Ming’s mind was racing. After confirming that Flowerfruit Sect was indeed not in a situation where they could take a gamble, he immediately took a few deep breaths.
“Get ready. Everyone, retreat immediately. Do not engage in any conflict with Zhu Asi.”
Jiang Ming warned them.
The expressions of Wu Ming and the others changed drastically.
“Master!”
Wu Hen took a step forward and said with a cold expression, “Master, you can’t! You have a precious physique. You must not put yourself in danger!”
“Hehe, what precious physique? I’m just an ordinary person.”
Jiang Ming waved his hand, then his gaze fell on Zhu Asi.
“You can’t do anything to my people. Got it?”
He was sure that Zhu Asi had not come alone. He must have been protected by a Soul Formation Realm cultivator from Zhuyan Palace, and his combat strength was probably far beyond that of a Soul Formation Realm cultivator like Protector Li.
Hearing Jiang Ming’s question, Zhu Asi couldn’t help but pout and say disdainfully, “I, Zhu Asi, will not do such a despicable thing.”
“Good!”
Jiang Ming immediately clapped his hands and looked at the other party seriously. His eyes gradually lit up. “In that case, we have reached an agreement. In addition, once I die, can the Zhuyan Palace confirm the safety of my people?”
Jiang Ming seemed to be talking to his sect members. Wu Hen and the others gritted their teeth and glared at Zhu Asi.
Zhu Asi nodded without hesitation and agreed to Jiang Ming’s request. “Okay, I promise you. However, I want to make sure that you are really dead. Don’t even think about faking your death and making these people join the Zhuyan Palace and be under our protection, understand?”
Jiang Ming’s heart skipped a beat. Zhu Asi was indeed not an ordinary person. He could actually understand his thoughts in a short period of time.
Whoosh!
Jiang Ming took a deep breath and nodded seriously. His gaze immediately fell on the elder of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect not far away, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
“Come on!”
When the elder of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect saw this, he immediately narrowed his eyes slightly. In the next moment, he suddenly chose to attack brazenly. In the blink of an eye, he attacked several times, causing the entire scene to be deathly silent.
At this moment, Jiang Ming also attacked brazenly. After a head-on clash, he spat out a mouthful of red blood, dyeing the entire ground red.
The entire place was silent.
At this moment, everyone could not help but be stunned on the spot. They never expected Jiang Ming to be so stubborn. With his late-stage Golden Core Realm cultivation, he fought head-on with a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Not to mention them, even Jiang Ming did not expect it. He stared at the elder of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect opposite him.
“Just now, I only wanted to move my body to the side and pretend to attack. In the end, he easily saw through my trick and dealt me a major blow in an extremely short period of time… This person cannot be underestimated!”
Jiang Ming’s brain was working rapidly, as if he wanted to see the true background of this Ancient Yin Yang Sect elder. However, it was obvious that the latter was extremely powerful. He could not see through him at all.
“He has a deep foundation and is extremely mysterious. I’m no match for him. I can only choose to run!”
Jiang Ming did not hesitate and immediately chose to run to the back. The elder of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect was not surprised. In his opinion, Jiang Ming could only choose to escape.
“Do you seriously think you can escape? Ridiculous.”
The elder of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect sneered and took a step forward. A cold light flickered in his eyes as he continued to force his way toward the other side.
He wanted to use a member of the Flowerfruit Sect as a hostage to force Jiang Ming to come back. However, he was blocked the very next moment.
“Are you looking down on me?”
Wu Ming coldly stared at the Ancient Yin Yang Sect elder in front of him. The latter was immediately stunned. His expression immediately changed wildly as he roared, “Brat, I advise you to move aside. Otherwise, you will be offending the Ancient Yin Yang Sect… If you are willing to make way, I can consider letting you join the Ancient Yin Yang Sect. This is a great opportunity for you. Don’t make the wrong choice!”
The elder of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect seemed to be threatening. However, his words were filled with pride. Clearly, he believed that Wu Ming would obediently make way because no one dared to offend the deadly Ancient Yin Yang Sect, and no one could resist the temptation of joining the Ancient Yin Yang Sect.
Before Wu Ming could speak, a voice sounded, “Elder Li, you really don’t respect me. Don’t forget, I promised Ning Caichen that I would ensure the safety of the people from Flowerfruit Sect. If you dare touch even a hair on their heads, I don’t mind killing you myself.”
Zhu Asi’s voice rang out, causing Elder Li’s expression to darken.
“Zhu Asi, what do you see in Ning Caichen? Why would you speak up for him?”
He found it unbelievable. Zhu Asi was a top-notch prodigy with the talent of a Divine Son. Was there a need to treat Ning Caichen in such a special way?
Obviously, Zhu Asi was not someone who liked to waste his breath. He stared coldly at Elder Li, causing the latter to grit his teeth for a long time before he could only choose to leave with his tail between his legs.
At this moment, Zhu Asi suddenly glanced in a direction.
“The people of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect are really interesting. They arranged for Elder Li to deal with Ning Caichen while the others were just watching the show… It is said that the Ancient Yin Yang Sect and the royal family of the Yin Yang Empire are at odds. However, who would have thought that the members of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect were also constantly scheming against each other? How long can a sect full of internal strife last?”
Benign compet.i.tion was naturally a good thing.
However, this kind of strife could blow up in their faces at any time.
“Perhaps the founder of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect back then never had expected that his disciples would actually be such terrible people. The history of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect will soon come to an end.”
At the thought of this, Zhu Asi’s smile grew wider, making people feel a little fearful.
