524 Do Not Get Involved
As soon as Jiang Ming said that, the entire place fell silent.
Gu Chi stared at Jiang Ming for a long time. His lips moved for a long time. However, he could not say a word.
It was also at this moment that a figure suddenly appeared on the spot, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
“Someone is coming.”
Wu Ming’s expression was particularly gloomy, as if he was facing a great enemy. Clearly, the person who came this time was not weak. It was very likely that he was a Soul Formation Realm expert.
A powerful force swept over, crushing everyone present.
As expected, he was really an expert at the Soul Formation Realm!
This time, it was none other than Protector Li of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land!
“Clang!”
Wu Ming held his spear and looked warily at Protector Li.
The latter raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “There’s no need to be shocked. I left a bug on the Holy Son’s body. It’s easy to find him.”
Wu Ming remained on guard and said coldly, “Why don’t you tell me what you want to do first?”
“I came here this time for one thing, and that is to cooperate with you.”
Cooperation?
Wu Ming was stunned by Protector Li’s words.
Jiang Ming and the others were also stunned. They had never expected Protector Li to suddenly say such a thing.
“Why do you want to cooperate with us?”
At this moment, Jiang Ming looked puzzled.
Suddenly, a voice resounded throughout the entire arena.
“I shall explain why I want to work with you, but only with Ning Caichen. The rest of you aren’t qualified to talk to me yet.” Protector Li had a smug look on his face. They were at the Soul Formation Realm, but cultivators at the same realm were further categorized into different categories of strength.
Even though Wu Ming was the sect leader of the Flowerfruit Sect, in the eyes of Protector Li, the Flowerfruit Sect was just a silly thing and not something to be taken seriously. It was just a subsidiary of a powerful sect and could not hold a candle to the three grotto-heavens and six blessed lands of the Feather Kingdom.
Upon hearing this, Wu Ming subconsciously glanced at Jiang Ming as if asking for his opinion.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ming nodded and said, “Come over.”
Wu Ming wanted to follow but was stopped.
“There’s no need for you to follow me. I trust that Protector Li won’t hurt me.”
His real intention was to let Wu Ming watch Gu Chi die and to prevent someone from suddenly saving Gu Chi. As long as Gu Chi was still in their hands, they would be absolutely safe.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming could not help but smile.
At this moment, Protector Li suddenly said, “Relax, we are sincerely cooperating this time around. Moreover, we want to join hands with you to kill these people from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect…”
“Protector Li, you’re crazy!”
Gu Chi had a smug look on his face as he thought that Protector Li had come to save him. He did not expect Protector Li to say such a thing. Was his brain fried? Did he actually want to deal with the people of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect?
At this moment, Protector Li glanced over and said coldly, “Holy Son, you can make the decision for other matters. However, this is a mission given to me by the Holy Lord. Naturally, I’m fully responsible for it. You have no right to question me, alright?”
Gu Chi was completely silent. Why did this matter involve his master, Holy Lord Gu Hua?
Jiang Ming was also stunned. He did not expect this to happen.
However, since he had already said this, he naturally would not say anything more. He would first ask about the situation.
Soon, the two of them arrived at a relatively remote area. Protector Li took a deep breath and slowly said, “Master Ning, I think you should have learned about the existence of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect from Gu Chi, right?”
Without thinking much, Protector Li knew that Gu Chi must have used the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land and the Ancient Yin Yang Sect to intimidate Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming nodded slightly and said, “I heard from Gu Chi that your sect is under the Yin Yang Empire. Logically speaking, you are also a subject of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect.”
Hudao Li chuckled and said, “The reason is exactly the same as the current situation in the Feather Kingdom.”
Jiang Ming was stunned, and a strange look flashed in his eyes. “You mean, the royal family of the Yin Yang Empire?”
“That’s right, it’s the imperial family of the Yin Yang Empire. They do not wish to entrust their fate and future to the Ancient Yin Yang Sect… I believe that you don’t know that the Ancient Yin Yang Sect has crippled countless emperors and palaces of the Yin Yang Empire over the years. They even have the power to appoint a new emperor and crown prince… The current emperor, Emperor Yuan Chong, was established by the Ancient Yin Yang Sect three hundred years ago…”
In that case, had the emperor who was supposed to be the puppet of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect already begun to rebel?
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. It had to be said that when the imperial family and the most powerful sects of a country collided, it could cause great changes in the entire country and even the world!
Jiang Ming took a deep breath, and his eyes lit up. He said very seriously, “If that’s the case, what are your plans?”
He understood that the other party would not come looking for him for no reason. He was probably trying to pull him into his team, which was under Emperor Yuan Chong.
“In addition, there is one thing that I don’t quite understand. Why would you work with Emperor Yuan Chong to serve the imperial family of the Yin Yang Empire? Shouldn’t the holy lands, the ancient sects, and the other sects be united to suppress the imperial family?”
Hearing this, Protector Li chuckled and said, “Master Ning, you have underestimated the imperial family of the Yin Yang Empire. Or perhaps, you have underestimated our emperor. You have to know that both I and my sect are actually Emperor Yuan Chong’s men! When Emperor Yuan Chong became the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, which was more than three hundred years ago, he had already planted spies and people in many forces. Many of them had already mixed into the upper and middle levels of the various large forces. Many of them went on to be as prolific as our Holy Lord.”
At this point, Protector Li’s eyes were filled with pride, causing Jiang Ming’s heart to tremble. He never thought that Emperor Yuan Chong would have such great ability. In just three hundred years, he had actually accomplished such a feat!
“Phew!” Jiang Ming let out a long sigh and asked seriously, “However, the Flowerfruit Sect is weak. Aren’t you taking a step back by asking us to cooperate?”
To be honest, Jiang Ming did not want to get involved in this kind of thing. Not to mention the high-level internal strife in the Yin Yang Empire, Jiang Ming could not even be bothered to get involved in the dispute between the political parties in his own kingdom. No one knew how big the risk was. If he was not careful, he would have to pay a hefty price!
