Chapter 578 - 578 Why Is He Smiling?
578 Why Is He Smiling?
Luo Cheng suddenly struck out with a lethal blade in his hand. Rays of sword Qi slashed out, causing the two elders to tremble.
“Luo Cheng, did you actually join the Flowerfruit Sect?”
They recognized Luo Cheng. He was a top member of the Network and was second only to the master. Moreover, in the absence of the master, Luo Cheng was the most powerful figure in the Network.
The most important thing was that Luo Cheng had led the Network to break away from the Hall of Slaughter and had officially become a part of the Flowerfruit Sect. As for the reason, it was naturally because of the existence of the azure pythons.
“Luo Cheng!” Huai Tai roared, “I can’t believe that you had been using me to get closer to the master over the years! In the end, you didn’t even pay me back! Instead, you’re fighting against me!”
Luo Cheng could not be bothered dealing with Huai Tai’s anger. He held his blade and faced Huai Tai.
However, even though his battle prowess was strong, he was still under a lot of pressure when facing a Soul Formation Realm expert like Huai Tai, who had been famous for a long time.
Jiang Ming also noticed this, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. Then, he said, “Old Wu, it’s time for you to go on a rampage.”
After twenty years of cultivation and the tragic death of his two sons, Jiang Ming gave Old Wu a lot of support as compensation. Old Wu’s cultivation rose rapidly, and his combat strength continued to rise.
Now, Old Wu was an unimaginably powerful combatant. Every attack of his carried a monstrous might that shocked everyone.
Although he was only at the half-step Soul Formation Realm and his combat prowess was not as good as Luo Cheng’s, Old Wu had also cultivated the path of martial arts and was a genuine expert at the peak of the Mystic Life Realm.
Using both immortal and martial arts, his battle prowess naturally soared.
Bang!
In an instant, Huai Wu’s path was blocked. He roared in embarra.s.sment. “Get lost!”
Right now, he only had one thought in mind, and that was to disrupt Rao Wuqing’s awakening of his bloodline. Once that happened, he would definitely be a great a.s.set to the Flowerfruit Sect, and the Flowerfruit Sect would only grow stronger.
With the temperament of the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators, even if they did not have anything against the Flowerfruit Sect, if the latter grew stronger, the Ghost Spirit Sect would attack them without hesitation. They simply did not want to see another sect rival theirs.
Old Wu knew them very well.
“If you want to ruin Elder Rao’s plans, you can, but you have to go through me first! Spiritual Martial Fist!”
The divine light of the path of martial arts erupted!
When one’s cultivation reached the Mystic Life Realm, their martial arts power would naturally rise, and the gap between them and immortal cultivators would become extremely huge.
Huai Wu’s expression was particularly gloomy. It was fine if he was suppressed by Rao Wuqing, a man of the same cultivation level. However, a man who had yet to reach the Soul Formation Realm stopping him was too much!
“You’re courting death!”
At this moment, Huai Wu roared and gathered all the spiritual energy in his body into his fist. He threw out a heavy punch!
Bang!
He was using his immortal cultivation to activate his martial arts technique. He wanted to use this opportunity to directly destroy Old Wu.
“Why are there so many powerful figures in the Flowerfruit Sect? No, they have to be eradicated one by one. Otherwise, when they advance to the Deity Transformation Realm, they will definitely become a huge threat to the Ghost Spirit Sect!”
However, he did not realize that Jiang Ming and the Flowerfruit Sect had never thought of threatening the Ghost Spirit Sect. It was them who had always treated the Flowerfruit Sect as an enemy.
“Alright, let’s continue moving forward.”
Jiang Ming couldn’t be bothered with such trivial matters.
When Yi Fang of the Ghost Spirit Sect heard this, he trembled.
They were here to eradicate them!
However, Jiang Ming could not be bothered to pay attention to them. He led everyone forward.
Zhu Asi raised his eyebrows and looked at the people fighting, especially Rao Wuqing, Luo Cheng, and Old Wu. He then looked at Jiang Ming.
“Stay and watch, just in case.”
Zhu Asi left one of them behind. “Also, remember to report the results of the battle to me. I’m really curious where this Jiang Ming gets his confidence from. He’s only left a cultivator at the Soul Formation Realm and two at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm here. How can they defeat two Soul Formation Realm cultivators and more than twenty Nascent Soul Realm cultivators?”
Zhu Asi’s heart was filled with curiosity. One of his subordinates suddenly asked, “Young Master Zhu, are we really going to help Ning Caichen and the others take down the South Moon Grotto-Heaven?”
Zhu Asi was stunned and asked instinctively, “If we don’t help them take down the South Moon Grotto-Heaven, what’s the point of coming here?”
“Young Master, I think we can take down this grotto-heaven. Although the Zhuyan Palace is rich and doesn’t care about a grotto-heaven-level spiritual land, you still need it… As long as you can occupy this spiritual land, you can further expand your power. Most importantly, there are quite a number of people in the outer sect who are keeping an eye on you. If you do not seize the time to increase your strength, some people with ulterior motives will definitely cause trouble…” the subordinate said seriously.
Zhu Asi nodded seriously and said, “What you said is indeed correct. I need to find a spiritual land to build my own base camp… Moreover, it mustn’t be limited to the sect. In the past, those who were able to become the next master of the sect, or the legacy elders would definitely establish a force. They were not Saints, but the founders of orthodoxies in disguise! If I wish to become a legacy elder in the future, I will indeed need to establish my own force…”
At this point, the subordinate’s face lit up, thinking that Zhu Asi had agreed.
Smack!
Zhu Asi slapped him in the face.
“Brat, you’d better remember this! The reason why I can climb to this point today is that I have extraordinary talent and can be arrogant and ambitious, but more importantly, I am not an idiot! You just want me to have a conflict with Ning Caichen and the Flowerfruit Sect. By then, I will definitely offend Elder Mo and my status will plummet. Isn’t that right?”
Hearing this, the subordinate’s expression changed, and he immediately lowered his head.
“Young Master, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m sincerely thinking about your future. I definitely have no second thoughts…”
“Shut up! I’ve already exposed you, but you still want to make up an excuse to deceive me? Do you really think I don’t know about your relationship with that person? Kid, I will tell you the truth. I can easily kill Ning Caichen and the others, but I will keep my promise. If you want to try this again, fine. But make sure you’re smart about it, alright?”
Zhu Asi shouted coldly.
In the distance, Jiang Ming listened to this conversation and subconsciously frowned.
It seemed that he had underestimated some people.
Jiang Ming sized Zhu Asi up and smiled, stunning Zhu Asi.
Why was this guy smiling?
