In an elegant and quiet courtyard in Shanlai Shansang's family home, Wu Ming sat quietly reading a book, his expression calm and calm, without any consciousness of being watched.
Others couldn't sense it, but he seemed to be aware of it. There were no fewer than four Yuanshen Grand Masters hidden around him. They were watching in all directions, and even a fly couldn't get past their surveillance.
Presumably it was the Sang family who saw clues from the deaths of six great masters and knew that ordinary warriors were no threat to them, so they used these powerful men.
Unfortunately, Wu Ming had no intention of leaving easily since he came in.
"Calculating the time, the news that I was imprisoned by the Sang family should have spread almost enough!"
Wu Ming seemed to be reading a book, but secretly he was exchanging deductions with Ku Ye.
"The commotion you made in Laiyang City is not small. It has already fallen into the eyes of interested people. In less than ten days and a half, all the top forces in the Song Dynasty will basically receive the news. As for the news further away, only a few will pay attention.
.”
Ku Ye has been traveling abroad all year round and is very aware of how powerful the intelligence systems hidden by major forces are. He changed the subject and said, "You mentioned that trash fish without any scruples before. It seemed to be showing your edge and confidence to help the Sang family.
Pressure, but I don’t believe you are so superficial. Apart from wanting them to know that you are not with Ao Liang, what are your intentions?"
At the level of Jin Lin, if Wu Ming mentions his name so unscrupulously, as long as he is not in a different space or is deeply practicing, he will have an inexplicable reaction. This is the unity of the saint and the sky, and the great power that heaven and earth bestow on those who touch the holy way.
With his background and power, it is not difficult to find out where Wu Ming is now. If Ao Ye was not stupid enough, when he sensed that his son Ao Liang was far away in the south, he would naturally contact him and clean up the family himself.
"Haha, have you ever heard of the name of Tree Lord?"
Wu Ming smiled.
"No! The Sang family is indeed hidden deep enough, and there is actually a holy king to protect it, but I still can't sense any fluctuations in the holy way."
Kuye said suspiciously.
"In your opinion, if there really is such a thing, what is its situation?"
Wu Ming asked.
"People knock on the door but there is no movement. Most likely he is not far from death and is on his deathbed!"
Kuye said.
"Then tell me, are the enemies of the Sang family plotting against this tree master, or are they plotting against the Sang family?"
Wu Ming said again.
"It's probably the inheritance of this tree master!"
Ku Ye hesitated for a moment and said in surprise, "You don't want to take advantage of him, do you?"
"Why not?"
Wu Ming closed the book calmly and took a sip of tea, "The inheritance of a saint will make even the holy temples jealous. Even if the opponent is a foreigner, even if it is not used, it can still be used as a trump card."
"But what does this have to do with that miscellaneous fish? We can't lure him to fight for it, right? With his current background, it is certain that he can be sainted. Even if he gets the inheritance of this tree master, it is just the icing on the cake!"
Kuye said.
"The icing on the cake? Not necessarily?"
Wu Ming smiled coldly and said with a mysterious smile, "This place is located in Huzhou, close to the Luocha River. It is the blessed place where the ancestors of the Lu family made their fortune, and it is also adjacent to Shigu Academy. If he thinks that my maternal uncle intends to inherit the Shuzun, he will make up for it.
Can he still sit still in his own holy way?"
"You...you want him to have a grudge against the Holy Temples?"
Kuye said in horror.
"He is worthy of being the longest-lived grandmaster in the human race!"
Wu Ming was filled with admiration and said with a smile, "Most of the temples know about the Sang family's tree, and they want to use it to win over the hidden hostile forces to deal with the upcoming catastrophe. If Jin Lin gets involved, what do you think?
Are the temples facing the Shigu Academy or the Golden Scale?"
Ku Ye was speechless. He thought with his toes and knew that it must be Shigu Academy.
Just one Fan Saint is worth ten golden scales, not in terms of strength, but in terms of meaning!
What's more, those who are not from my race must have different intentions. Even if dealing with the demons is the unanimous goal of all living beings in China, will they still have to fight to the death for the survival soil?
"It seems that you want to wait for the opportunity when that bastard fish is blocked by the temples, then kill Ao Ye and remove his wings!"
After Ku Ye figured this out, he suddenly felt horrified.
Let’s not talk about whether Shigu Academy will help Lu Jiuyuan fight for the inheritance of the tree master and repair the foundation of the holy way. However, Wu Ming’s appearance here will give people an illusion and the forces who do not know about it will not doubt it.
If it succeeds, Wu Ming can naturally pass on the tree master to Lu Jiuyuan for a try. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy, and if it fails, there will be no loss. Even if it fails, for Wu Ming, Quan will just watch a show.
The fight between the holy temples and Jin Lin, who represents the interests of the demon clan, is a rare show in a thousand years!
Buzz!
At this moment, Wu Ming's waist flashed with green light. He took out an amber jade stone with a strange insect inside. He put it between his eyebrows and looked at it. He was happy at first, and then frowned.
.
"What's wrong?"
Kuye Nahan said.
"Mi Luan sent me a message, she is from Laiyang City!"
Wu Ming let out a long breath.
"Could it be that... what happened to the Sang family was caused by Nanjiang?"
Kuye said solemnly.
"Sang Heng has a strange poison in his body. There are only a few places in the world where it can be found. But here she is, so it's probably unmistakable!"
Wu Ming rubbed his eyebrows, feeling troubled.
In fact, he should have thought of it a long time ago. Huzhou borders Sichuan and Shu for hundreds of millions of miles of wilderness. It is the outskirts of Southern Xinjiang where the Gu tribe thrives. However, in fact, the Southern Xinjiang Gu tribe rarely goes out to attack, let alone the Sang family.
I had a grudge against him, so I didn’t think about it in this regard.
"Then what are you going to do? Those barbarians in southern Xinjiang are not easy to talk to. They have always accepted death. If they dare to attack a holy king, they will definitely have huge consequences. The little friendship between you and that girl will never reach this level."
Kuye said.
"It's really a bit troublesome!"
Wu Ming frowned and thought for a long time and said, "This girl probably knows about my friendship with Sang Heng, and will never risk her life by directly explaining her whereabouts. I'm afraid she also means to test me. Whatever, just see you.
As soon as we see him, we must help Sang Heng get rid of the poison first. As for the tree statue of Lao Shizi, let the Sang family worry about it."
"That's true, wait until that miscellaneous fish comes..."
Ku Ye understood clearly, but before he finished speaking, the holy soul fluctuated violently, "How brave, who dares to peek at this saint?"
Wu Ming's pupils shrank, and his consciousness suddenly returned to his original form. His eyes scanned the surroundings with dazzling light, but no one was seen. Only the shocking old voice reached his ears.
"Haha, although fellow Taoist monks have achieved the holy way with the help of external forces, they are still members of our generation. Why are they so startled and unbecoming?"
There was no hostility in the voice at all, and even when it was spoken to Ku Ye, the tone was surprisingly loud, as if he was teasing someone like a junior.
"Could it be that Senior Shuzun is in front of you? Please show up and see me!"
Wu Ming squinted his eyes, slowly stood up and held his hands, looking around.
"The little guy is very smart, but am I so disliked by you? After many calculations, all I have left is a pile of dead wood, which can at most be used as firewood!"
Just as he finished speaking, he saw a mulberry plant in a pot in the courtyard suddenly come to life, extending its branches and vines, and suddenly transformed into an old man no more than a foot tall with yellow-green hair on his head. He smiled and said, "Don't worry,
The younger members of the Sang family cannot notice the movement here."
"Even if you have to worry, you should always be worried!"
Wu Mingchu became calm and regained his composure in the blink of an eye.
"You are really smart, you can be said to be as clever and scheming as a demon. I really don't know what kind of experience it was that gave you such a careful mind!"
The old man nodded slightly and said calmly, "Fellow Taoist, please come out and see me. With the power of your holy soul, you should be able to know that the old man is not a threat to you!"
"snort!"
There was a flicker of light and shadow that could not be detected by the naked eye, and Ku Ye appeared in the courtyard, looking at the old man warily and saying, "It is hard to imagine how strong you were in your heyday if you were able to hide from the perception of my holy soul and spy on our conversation.
"
"Haha, it's not that strong. I just barely spanked that little turtle a few times!"
The old man smiled warmly and sat cross-legged on the table.
"hiss!"
Wu Ming and Ku Ye looked at each other and turned pale in horror.
Not surprisingly, the little turtle mentioned by this old man is undoubtedly the ancestor Xuan Sheng. As we all know, this person is the oldest and even one of the strongest saints in the world. So how strong can this old man be?
Neither of them had any doubts, because there was no need for such beings to bother lying.
Ku Ye's holy soul visibly trembled a few times, and no longer dared to take the big shot. His expression was a little more respectful and a little more cautious.
"As far as I know, you should..."
Wu Ming hesitated and said.
"It's true. Now the old man shows up and has almost exhausted his last breath!"
The old man said calmly.
"Then what are your orders?"
Wu Ming squinted his eyes. The range was so large. Who could guarantee that this person would not spare any effort or underestimate him in the slightest?
"With your intelligence, since you can see that the Sang family has evil intentions towards the old man, can't you guess it?"
The old man said with a smile.
"If you want me to help you, please forgive me for my inability to help!"
Wu Ming spread his hands.
"You humans have an old saying: When a person is about to die, his words are good!"
The old man was not angry, and looked at Wu Ming with deep and wise eyes, until the latter felt uncomfortable, and then said leisurely, "Looking at my countless years of experience, I can't see your bottom line, let alone why you do this.
Appearing here, I should have died here, without any chance of survival. But you happened to appear, Tianyan 49, one of them escaped, you are the variable."
"Don't you always want to force others into difficulty?"
Wu Ming looked a little ugly.
"Haha, you are very smart, but also suspicious!"
The old man shook his head slightly and sighed, "I have lived for countless years, and I am already used to the wind and waves. I take life and death lightly. It's just that some of my missions have not been completed, so I can't die yet."
Wu Ming's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan". If such a being really meant to cause trouble, even Ku Ye might not be able to prevent it. The lotus lantern was now seriously worn out and fell into a deep sleep from time to time recently, which really made him feel troubled.
"I think back then, the old man was at odds with the old Dragon Saint of the East China Sea. In a fit of anger, he conspired with others to drain the Longquan water, and helped all the temples to organize the Taihang Prince's House. He should have died without a burial place, but instead
When I was about to die, you came!"
The old man casually recounted his past glorious deeds, and finally looked at Wu Mingdao with a burning gaze, "Tell me, is this destiny?"
Wu Ming and Ku Ye are already numb! (To be continued)
