"I have to say that although Mr. Li and Mr. Wang are old and frail, and they are nearing the end of their lives, their acting talents are extraordinary," Jiang Ming muttered.
"You're courting death!"
"Two old farts who are about to reach the end of their lives actually dare to attack me? Ridiculous!"
The assassin snorted coldly and raised the long blade in his hand.
Bang!
This slash failed to kill the two elders.
However, the two elders were also heavily injured and spat out mouthfuls of blood. Their expressions instantly became dispirited.
The assassin attacked again.
He had no intention of letting these two old farts go. Although he was cursing and looking down on them, his actions were extremely ruthless.
Jiang Ming stood in the distance and watched. Beside him was Huai Mei.
"Are you sure your plan can succeed?" Huai Mei asked with a frown.
Now, this assassin was fighting with all his might. If anything happened, no one could bear the consequences.
Jiang Ming smiled and said, "Although I didn't expect that this assassin would really do his best to kill the two elders, I had already expected this situation. Thus, I put some armor on the two elders."
"Can armor protect them from him? Are you kidding me?"
However, the assassin stopped at this moment.
The two elders had died.
The assassin checked the situation and left in a hurry after confirming that the two elders were dead. He originally wanted to burn the corpses. However, after thinking about it carefully, he decided to leave it for the Ghost Spirit Sect's people to check and confirm that he had completed the mission. He did not want them to find an excuse to say that he had failed and scam him out of his money.
As a result, the two elders were quickly forgotten here.
"Now's the time!"
Jiang Ming's eyes glinted as he took away the two elders' corpses without a word, leaving behind ashes on the ground. When the Ghost Spirit Sect's experts came to check, there were only ashes left.
"Haha, these two old farts are really unlucky. After living for so long, they ended up like this. I have to say that it's a kind of tragedy."
"There is no need to care. They have been going against the young master all this while. This is destined to be their tragic ending… Speaking of which, do we still need to pay the Seven Kills Temple? If they are burnt to ashes, we can go back on our word, right?"
This was unfeasible.
One had to know that the Seven Kills Temple was backed by the Mo family, who ruled the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven. Even the current young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect did not dare go against them. Naturally, they would not renege on their debts.
"Pay the compensation and then announce this matter to the public. Tell them that the two of them had gone mad and died."
The young master came to investigate and then said these words, causing Huai Mei's eyes to widen.
Things had already developed to this stage, and she could only feel the cold-bloodedness of this young master. It was not a level that ordinary people could reach.
However, she also understood something, which was that after the current situation developed, perhaps she should leave the Ghost Spirit Sect as soon as possible.
After that, Huai Mei's application to go out to gain experience was naturally approved. After all, Huai Mei's real reason was to go out to look for Zhu An'an, which was exactly what the young master wanted.
Then, Jiang Ming and Huai Mei met at an inn.
"You're already leaving the Ghost Spirit Sect, so why are you still looking for me?"
Jiang Ming was puzzled. What was this woman thinking?
Huai Mei did not answer the question immediately. Instead, she asked, "How are the two elders now?"
"Don't worry, the two elders are living very well in the mortal world now. Moreover, I've already sent them to the Jiang Kingdom. With their current cultivation and energy, they are enough to establish a strong force," Jiang Ming said calmly.
Originally, the two elders only had less than ten years left to live.
However, after taking the pills given by Jiang Ming, one could extend their lifespan and live for another thirty years.
One had to know that the two elders were not mortals.
It was easy for a pill to extend a mortal's lifespan by ten or twenty years. However, it was much more difficult to extend the lifespan of a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
However, to Jiang Ming, it was not a big deal. He had an immortal constitution, and any drop of his blood could prolong one's life.
"Alright." Huai Mei nodded first, then took a deep breath and looked at Jiang Ming seriously. "Weren't you planning to go to that mystic realm before? We can set off now."
Jiang Ming could not help but be stunned.
"What did you say? Didn't you say that the mystic realm only opens once every thirty years? The last time it opened was less than ten years ago."
He had planned to wait for another twenty years or so before going. However, he was also weary of going without reaching the Nascent Soul Realm first.
As for the reward, he naturally did not care too much.
However…
"Someone forcefully opened that mystic realm. You should have seen this person before. It's the one from the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land."
Jiang Ming could not help but frown when Huai Mei said that.
Was it Holy Son Gu Chi?
Jiang Ming gasped and said, "The people around him are at most in the Golden Core realm. How can they forcefully open the mystic realm?"
"I'm not sure, but he's the Holy Son of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land, and the number one Holy Son. How can the combat strength of his people only be at the Golden Core Realm? There will definitely be a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator protecting him."
This time, Huai Mei could not help but look at Jiang Ming strangely. They were both from blessed lands of immortal cultivation. However, why was there such a huge difference in rankings between the two of them?
Jiang Ming did not care about this. He was more concerned about the true intentions of Holy Son Gu Chi.
'It's impossible for this fellow to open the mystic realm for no reason. There must be a huge problem… Interesting. I want to see what Holy Son Gu Chi is up to!"
As he spoke, Jiang Ming brought Huai Mei to his current residence. Then, he continued to meditate. He planned to further stabilize his cultivation in a short period of time.
"We will depart in ten days!"
Right now, Holy Son Gu Chi was forcefully opening the hidden area of the secret realm.
According to legend, the person who created this mystic realm was a supreme expert of the Elemental Spirit Immortal Sect. After his death, the once influential Elemental Spirit Immortal Sect was destroyed.
This was an unimaginable event!
