Chapter 562 - 562 Even More Indebted
562 Even More Indebted
The news of Jiang Ming’s persistence in finding Li Haoran quickly spread throughout the Feather Kingdom. Even some unranked forces and itinerant cultivators knew about it.
At this moment, in the palace, the current Feather King was furious.
“We’ve worked so hard, but why can’t we find Li Haoran? Even if this guy is dead, surely ten years would have been enough to find his corpse!”
The king was convinced that the powerful official was not doing his job well.
The powerful official hurriedly knelt on the ground and said with a helpless and regretful expression, “Your Majesty, please give me another chance. I will definitely do my best to find Li Haoran!”
“Ha! You’ve said this so many times already. Do you still think that I will believe you?”
The king was smiling coldly. At this moment, he changed his mind slightly and suddenly said, “Speaking of this, I still don’t understand what kind of huge matter Li Haoran is involved in that causes Ning Caichen to be so persistent!”
The powerful official was silent for a long time.
However, no one knew that Li Haoran was currently hiding in a very secluded place. In front of him stood a person.
It was Gongye Jiu!
“Master Jiu, I’ve been hiding according to your instructions for so many years. I hope you can let me go!” Li Haoran said respectfully. It was as if he were begging for mercy.
Gongye Jiu raised his eyebrows and shook his head.
“Impossible! After you found out about me and that person, I couldn’t let you go so easily. Don’t forget, I didn’t kill you for your own good. However, that person might not spare you.”
Li Haoran, who was presumed dead, was actually hiding here! Moreover, Gongye Jiu, who was supposed to have been dead for more than ten years, had also appeared here.
Of course, this was not the real Gongye Jiu. It was a puppet left behind by Gongye Jiu when he was alive. He had injected his own memories into the puppet’s body. It was another way for him to extend his life.
Hearing this, Li Haoran hesitated for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, “Then can you let me go back and see my family members?”
“No.”
Gongye Jiu shook his head. This time, Li Haoran was angry. He was about to attack Gongye Jiu but was caught by a ghostly figure.
“Soul Formation Realm? No, this is a Deity Transformation cultivator!”
Li Haoran was shocked. He had always thought that Gongye Jiu was at most at the Soul Formation Realm. He did not expect him to be so strong.
“I told you, if you cause trouble, you won’t be able to live. Why do you insist on causing trouble?”
Gongye Jiu raised his eyebrows. He had given Li Haoran a lot of freedom. This place was also very s.p.a.cious. Why did he want to leave this place?
Li Haoran was also puzzled. The other party clearly had the ability to kill him easily. Why did he insist on keeping him here?
“The reason is very simple. You need to stay here and wait for someone to arrive. When he arrives, you can leave after giving him this letter.”
Gongye Jiu took out a letter and handed it to Li Haoran. According to his calculations, Jiang Ming should be able to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the near future and would definitely leave the Feather Kingdom.
This was one of the ways to leave the Feather Kingdom. Gongye Jiu naturally had to prepare some things for Jiang Ming. Li Haoran had to stay here to wait for Jiang Ming.
Li Haoran was puzzled. Why did he choose him? Gongye Jiu clearly had no interest in answering this question. He only chose to leave. Li Haoran stared at the fading seal in front of him for a long time without saying a word. Soon, he fell silent.
At this moment, Jiang Ming was doing his best to cultivate. His goal was to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm within a year.
“Master has been working hard to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm for the past year.”
Rao Wuqing slapped someone on the head when he heard this.
“Kid, is your brain fried? You know how powerful the master is. It’s not that easy for him to break through.”
“That’s right. Then do you think there will be another heavenly tribulation when the master breaks through?”
“Obviously! We just don’t know how powerful the dark lightning will be this time!”
Many people were looking forward to this. Everyone knew that Ning Caichen was an extraordinary figure, and they also understood that he was destined to be extraordinary.
They remembered what had happened with the heavenly tribulation when Jiang Ming broke through to the Golden Core Realm. The heavenly tribulation obviously going to be more powerful this time!
At this moment, a powerful force swept over, causing the ground to tremble. Everyone looked up with a strange look in their eyes.
“That is…”
Everyone was bewildered. They never thought that Jiang Ming would choose to break through and advance at this moment.
“Retreat!”
“Everyone, retreat ten miles away from this area. Otherwise, you’ll die!”
“That’s right. Master’s breakthrough will naturally be grand. We’re not a match for that dark lignin!”
One figure after another frantically fled into the distance, causing many cultivators near the Flowerfruit Sect to be stunned. Wasn’t it just a Nascent Soul Realm heavenly tribulation? Was there a need to be so dramatic?
However, they soon noticed that countless people were scattering in all directions. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, containing endlessly powerful lightning.
“That’s… the Nine Heavens Dark Lightning!”
“Oh my G.o.d! Is this a joke?”
“Exactly. Once the Nine Heavens Dark Lightning strikes, everything within a hundred miles will be turned into ruins!”
“Didn’t you see that the dark lightning this time is extremely dense? I’m afraid that the dark lightning this time will reach a level that ordinary people can’t imagine!”
“Retreat! Quickly retreat!”
“What about our sect building?”
“It doesn’t matter! Our lives are more important than the building!”
Wu Ming stepped forward and stared at the lightning being shot down.
“What powerful lightning! Even if he advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, he shouldn’t be so powerful, right? Even an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would not be able to withstand this power. Although the sect master is powerful, he can’t possibly withstand such a powerful tribulation!”
Wu Ming blinked. He had a feeling that someone was playing tricks in the heavenly tribulation. Howell, he could not figure out who was behind it.
In the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven, Mo Lingche slowly withdrew his hand, a bright light flashing in his eyes.
“Ning Caichen will definitely not be able to withstand the heavenly tribulation this time. He will ask me for help sooner or later. In that case, he will be even more indebted to me!”
