Chapter 526 - 526 Which Side Do You Choose?
526 Which Side Do You Choose?
Jiang Ming fired question after question. Protector Li could not help but grimace slightly.
He never expected Jiang Ming to consider things so carefully.
“This guy looks like a naive child with no knowledge of antiques. But now, he seems like a cunning old fox. The questions he asks are actually so comprehensive.”
At this moment, Protector Li realized that he could not easily see through Jiang Ming. The other party seemed to have multiple personalities. No matter how he looked at him, he could not see through him.
Jiang Ming naturally saw through Protector Li’s thoughts. He immediately chuckled and said, “Protector Li, since you want to cooperate with the Flowerfruit Sect, you have to give me something more substantial. I want something that will benefit me greatly. However, I won’t be cannon fodder for others. Lastly, why don’t we be honest with each other?”
Protector Li’s mouth twitched again. He was speechless and could only grit his teeth and say, “Master Ning, you’re right. Since we are going to cooperate, we naturally have to be honest with each other and talk about everything.”
Then, he pondered for a long time and raised his eyebrows slightly. “The forces that came this time seem to be related to the Ancient Yin Yang Sect. However, they are actually divided into three categories. The first category is comprised of the Purple Cloud Sword Sect, which is similar to the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land and serves the imperial family of the Yin Yang Empire. Although it is a swordsmanship sect, its strength is not inferior to any holy land or ancient sect.
“Secondly, there are some neutral factions. They won’t get involved in anything at all. Finally, there are a few other factions. They seem to be following the Ancient Yin Yang Sect. However, they are actually quite cunning and seem to be on nobody’s side. They only sent a Soul Formation Realm cultivator. They are purely fishing in troubled waters…”
Fishing in troubled waters!
Jiang Ming chuckled and nodded. “I understand the situation based on what you said. When are you guys going to make your move?”
“It should be at a critical moment…”
“You don’t say. Even a fool would do that. However, when is the critical moment?”
Jiang Ming asked gloomily. Protector Li was really something else. He just wanted to lure him into a trap. If he did not pay attention while working with such a person, he could die at any time.
After pondering for a moment, Protector Li pointed ahead. “There will be a large hall ahead. That place is actually a special space that leads to an ancient battlefield. We will take action at that time and use the ensuing battle on the ancient battlefield to attract the attention of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect and the others. Then…”
“It’s convenient for you to attack me, right? Alright, I understand. When the time comes, the Flowerfruit Sect will do our best to cooperate.”
Jiang Ming nodded. His appearance and words made Protector Li frown.
Jiang Ming was ridiculous!
If it were not for the fact that he needed the Flowerfruit Sect as an ally, Protector Li would have given Jiang Ming a few slaps.
Wait a minute!
“Can I take the Holy Son away?” Protector Li suddenly asked.
Gu Chi’s eyes lit up, and he revealed an extremely expectant expression.
“You can’t,” Jiang Ming said concisely.
Protector Li did not hesitate. He nodded and said, “Okay.”
Then, he left. The whole process was so fast and unexpected that Gu Chi almost froze.
“Stop being upset. You’re our hostage. If we let you go, our cooperation will never be formed.”
Jiang Ming patted Gu Chi’s cheek, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
It was also at this moment that another voice suddenly rang out. “Bro, I feel that we can make use of this matter.”
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and sent a voice transmission.
“The Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land doesn’t want to use the Flowerfruit Sect to eliminate the exploration team of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect… Then we can help the Ancient Yin Yang Sect in turn. We might even be able to obtain the friendship of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect. Wouldn’t that be the best?”
Jiang Ming was stunned. He never expected the black sword to suggest such a thing.
“No, we don’t know anything about the Ancient Yin Yang Sect. How can you be so sure that we can maximize our benefits by helping the Ancient Yin Yang Sect? We don’t even know if the Ancient Yin Yang Sect will appreciate it…”
Jiang Ming shook his head. This was a difficult problem.
However, the black sword was right about one thing. The Flowerfruit Sect was a key point. If they joined Protector Li’s side, the exploration team of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect would definitely suffer heavy losses or even be completely wiped out. After all, the people of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land were all cunning. They were particular about attacking others for their own gain. The people of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect were clueless. No matter how powerful they were, they would not think that someone would plot against them.
“Bro, do you believe that the people of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect know nothing about this? Considering how they were able to survive in the Yin Yang Empire for so many years, it is impossible for the Ancient Yin Yang Sect not to know about the situation in the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land. It is even more impossible for them not to know what Emperor Yuan Chong is thinking. Therefore, I feel that the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land will definitely be the loser this time. If we help the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land, it is very likely that we will also be in trouble!”
Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes. This reminded him that if the people of the Ancient Yin Yang Sect were the masterminds behind the scenes, he would be courting death if he helped the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land. Therefore, if he wanted to succeed, he needed to plan carefully and see which side was safer.
At the same time, on the other end, Murong Xianglin’s face was extremely gloomy. He had used a lot of strength to try to kill Jiang Ming and the others. However, it was to no avail. It was as if Jiang Ming and the others were immortal.
“I have to think of a more comprehensive way… I can only use it.”
His attention fell on an undead soldier. This was an undead soldier that he had carefully nurtured. It had devoured cultivators and had absorbed a large amount of fear. Its strength had long reached an unfathomable level.
“I’m counting on you now… Go! Destroy Tuoba Kui!”
He did not dare to deal with Wu Ming. The latter was a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, and he was definitely no match for him.
At the same time, Wu Ming took a step forward, and an incomparably terrifying aura spread out from his entire body. Its attacks also became increasingly stronger.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With such a series of attacks, Jiang Ming and the others could not help but feel their hearts tighten.
“Oh no!”
Tuoba Kui was the first to react. However, he was too weak, and he was instantly carried away from where he was.
“Tuoba Kui!”
Hua Wudao could not help but laugh when he saw this.
“Hahaha! Tuoba Kui, right? You wanted to torture me, and now it’s your turn to suffer! I am a prodigy! How can a piece of trash like you be able to compare?”
