Thanks to Jiang Ming's guidance, the sword maniac was able to comprehend the sword Qi for 49 days. He would naturally remember such a great favor.
Of course, he would not allow anyone to hurt Jiang Ming.
"Today, if anyone dares find trouble with Zhang Shan, they'll have to face me first!"
Clang!
A huge sword appeared.
Mo Ziqi's expression changed drastically. He never thought that this sword maniac would reach this stage.
It was enough to threaten a Golden Core Realm cultivator like him!
In fact, the sword maniac was not that powerful. However, he could borrow the sword Qi in his soul sea and turn the sword intent into his own. Naturally, his strength was extraordinary and unpredictable.
As such, Mo Ziqi naturally did not dare to move.
Putting aside the sword maniac, there was an even stronger bodyguard beside him. Even Mo Ziqi could only swallow his anger.
However, he would not let it go.
"Men!"
After returning to his cave dwelling, Mo Ziqi called a disciple over and instructed, "Pass on my orders. Put a bounty on Zhang Shan's head—a supreme-grade magical tool. Let the people of the Hall of Slaughter kill Zhang Shan!"
Hearing this, the disciple's heart trembled slightly.
A supreme-grade magical tool!
One had to know that only Golden Core Realm cultivators could refine such a magical tool. The higher the grade of the magical tool, the more difficult it would be to refine it, let alone a supreme-grade magical tool.
In fact, it was already considered extremely talented for a Golden Core Realm craftsman to be able to refine a high-grade magical tool. There were almost no craftsmen who could refine a supreme-grade magical tool.
Even if Mo Ziqi was an elder and had a lot of money, it was not easy for him to take out a supreme-grade magical tool.
This meant that Mo Ziqi was determined to kill Zhang Shan!
The news quickly spread and swept through the entirety of the Feather Kingdom.
Countless people were shocked.
A supreme-grade magical tool as a reward?
Furthermore, there were still so many other forces who wanted to kill Zhang Shan!
At this moment, the Hall of Slaughter started to move. Countless individual cultivators also started to move.
Even if they could not kill Zhang Shan, as long as they could find Zhang Shan's location, it would still be a great achievement!
Unfortunately, they could not find it.
Jiang Ming returned to his original appearance as soon as he went down the mountain, and Mini Bai also became an ordinary white snake.
This way, no one could find him except Wu Hen.
"My lord!"
Wu Hen walked forward with an excited expression. He had been separated from Jiang Ming for too long and could not recognize him on the Saint Cultivation Platform. Now, they had finally been reunited.
Jiang Ming smiled. "There's no need to be so polite. You're my brother and comrade. Just sit with me."
However, Wu Hen still stood at the side, extremely respectful.
Jiang Ming did not say anything else. He turned his gaze and looked at the table opposite him.
This was a medium-sized tavern. Jiang Ming came in to rest and eat something.
Unexpectedly, there was an uninvited guest sitting opposite him.
It was Holy Son Gu Chi from the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land!
Jiang Ming sighed. These disciples of the blessed lands of immortal cultivation were definitely not comparable to the geniuses of the Feather Kingdom.
This was a genuine prodigy. Even the sword maniac could not be compared to him. He saw through his disguise at a glance.
"How did you see through my disguise?" Jiang Ming asked casually.
In the end, Holy Son Gu Chi answered sincerely, "Intuition."
Jiang Ming was speechless.
He had thought that this fellow was relying on some unfathomable technique!
Regardless, it was normal for such a person to have strong intuition.
Most importantly, Jiang Ming thought that Holy Son Gu Chi wanted to attack him. Therefore, he did not avoid him when he reverted to his real appearance. He just waited for the latter to make the first move.
However, now, Holy Son Gu Chi was looking at him quietly, making Jiang Ming feel quite uncomfortable.
"Holy Son, you're such a busy person. Surely, you didn't come to find me just to watch me drink and eat, right?"
Holy Son Gu Chi smiled and said, "Of course not. I came this time around to find you. I want you to be my follower."
"Impossible."
"Alright."
Jiang Ming was stunned again.
Why was he easy to talk to?
He could not help but narrow his eyes slightly. Something must be wrong. Jiang Ming would not let his guard down easily.
"Then I wonder if you're interested in coming with me to my sect. With your abilities, you're more than enough to be a Holy Son."
Holy Son Gu Chi was still smiling.
Jiang Ming was rendered completely speechless. What was this guy thinking? Why was he inviting someone to be his competitor?
One had to know that Holy Son Gu Chi was the top Holy Son of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land and was destined to be the future Holy Lord of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land.
Why did he come looking for competition?
"Don't overthink. I just want another whetstone. After all, my strength is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even if Bai Xuanruo, Liu Xuantong, Mo Feng, and the sword maniac join forces, I wouldn't be afraid. However, I can't see through your strength. Your combat strength should have reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment Realm and you have an invincible appearance. If I can use you as a whetstone, my strength should be able to reach a higher level."
He explained his true intentions.
Jiang Ming chuckled and shook his head.
"I'm not in the mood for leisure. If you want to train, I will accompany you now. However, you have to be prepared to die."
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the other experts around Holy Son Gu Chi darkened, and they stared at Jiang Ming.
"Zhang Shan, don't be impudent! This is Holy Son Gu Chi. You don't have the right to humiliate him!"
"That's right, Zhang Shan. Quickly kneel down and apologize. Otherwise, I'll make sure you're dead!"
"Kneel down and apologize!"
Jiang Ming still looked calm, which made the group of experts even angrier. They wanted to take him down immediately.
Holy Son Gu Chi could not be bothered to say anything.
"Since you aren't willing, then don't blame me for being impudent. Take him down!"
He wanted to use Jiang Ming as his whetstone and make himself the most invincible cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Since he was unwilling, he would force him!
However…
"How bold of you."
Jiang Ming chuckled, and then his sword Qi surged.
His blood Qi also churned non-stop, turning into a long dragon.
It could rival a Golden Core Realm cultivator!
Holy Son Gu Chi was not just blessed by the heavens, he was also dedicated to his training.
When he was young, he could match up to the first and second-rate geniuses of the various large factions in the Feather Kingdom.
Even so, Jiang Ming still did not care. He was going to teach him a lesson!
