Jiang Ming was wary of Holy Son Gu Chi just in case this guy suddenly had some devious ideas to deal with him.
However, Holy Son Gu Chi suddenly grinned.
"Ning Caichen, you may have misunderstood me. The reason why I asked about Zhang Shan's whereabouts is purely because I admire Zhang Shan. That's all."
Jiang Ming's mouth twitched.
Only a fool would believe this guy's nonsense.
Jiang Ming quickly played along and said with a smile, "There's no need to explain, Holy Son. My junior has also said that you're amazing and are destined to be extraordinary. Although he tricked you once, if you're in any trouble in the future, my junior will definitely help… Of course, for the sake of my junior, I, Ning Caichen, am also willing to help."
Hearing this, Huai Mei was stunned. She did not quite understand what Jiang Ming was thinking.
Huai Mei kept winking at Jiang Ming, wanting him to stay away from Holy Son Gu Chi.
If it was just Holy Son Gu Chi alone, it would be fine. However, Rao Wuqing was still there. If they were not careful, they would die.
After all, no matter how capable Jiang Ming was, he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. How could he be qualified to compete with a great cultivator at the half-step Nascent Soul Realm?
Huai Mei's heart was in her throat when she thought of this.
Jiang Ming obviously noticed Huai Mei's thoughts. However, he said indifferently, "If you don't mind, I want to become sworn comrades with you. How about that?"
For a moment, Huai Mei was instantly dumbfounded. She was so angry that she was about to burst.
Was Ning Caichen stupid?
To everyone's surprise, Holy Son Gu Chi did not flare up. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's my honor to be your sworn comrade! After we leave this place, we must hold a grand banquet to celebrate!"
For a moment, everyone chose to remain silent. They did not understand what had happened.
Could it be that Holy Son Gu Chi had also lost his mind?
Did he forget that Zhang Shan had tricked him and stolen his storage ring?
Huai An looked as if she had just eaten something she should not have eaten. She had never expected this turn of events!
"Damn it! I was hoping that Holy Son Gu Chi would kill Ning Caichen or even cripple him so that I could use this opportunity to interrogate him about Zhu An'an's whereabouts. Alas, in the end..."
Huai An was in such a terrible mood that she did not know what to say.
At this moment, Holy Son Gu Chi's heart was also rippling.
The reason why he did this was mainly because he was afraid of the Flowerfruit Mountain behind Zhang Shan.
Although they had yet to find out what kind of power the Flowerfruit Mountain was, they understood that the strength of the Flowerfruit Mountain was definitely not something that ordinary people could underestimate.
After all, how could a force that could nurture Zhang Shan and Ning Caichen be an ordinary sect?
"Both of those two people can easily snatch the position of Holy Son away from me if they were in my sect. To be able to nurture these two, I'm afraid that the overall strength of the Flowerfruit Mountain is even above the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land! No matter where the Flowerfruit Mountain is located, it is not a sect I can provoke… Moreover, there are many hidden dangers in my own sect. If I can rope in the help of the Flowerfruit Mountain, it will definitely be a good thing for me. It is, however, a pity that I can't get my hands on that beast!"
Holy Son Gu Chi felt extremely bitter. However, in order to build a good relationship with these people, he had no choice.
For a moment, everyone could not help but turn their heads, as if they wanted to continue searching for treasures. However, Holy Son Gu Chi clearly did not have that intention.
"Ning Caichen, the treasures here have basically been plundered clean. Do you want to consider going elsewhere to take a look?" Holy Son Gu Chi said with a smile. He had ulterior motives. He wanted to use Ning Caichen to aid in his exploration of the Land of Heritage of the Flame Demon Heavenly Lord.
Jiang Ming's lips curled up. How could he not see through Holy Son Gu Chi's thoughts? However, these were not important. Instead, he said with a slight smile, "Since you've said so, it's not good for me to refuse. Why don't we go together?"
"Alright, let's go together!"
Holy Son Gu Chi was especially excited and immediately led everyone from the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land away. He did not plan to stay here for too long. After all, staying here for a long time would cause many consequences.
When the experts from the other forces saw this scene, their eyes instantly widened.
Were they being abandoned?
At this moment, Holy Son Gu Chi naturally did not have the mood to care about these people. After all, they were useless in his eyes.
At the thought of this, everyone could not help but take a deep breath of cold air. They were envious and jealous of Ning Caichen.
They also wanted to follow Holy Son Gu Chi, especially since the latter had Rao Wuqing, who could fight Nascent Soul Real cultivators. With him in charge, all the difficulties would be solved.
At the thought of this, countless cultivators could not help but plan to follow Holy Son Gu Chi and the others to see if they could get some benefits.
However, they were too optimistic. At this moment, all the experts of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land had their eyes on them.
"If anyone dares follow us, I don't mind sending them to the afterlife," someone said coldly.
The corners of Holy Son Gu Chi's mouth curled into a cold smile.
"Ning Caichen, do you care about these pieces of trash?" Holy Son Gu Chi asked with a smile.
Jiang Ming smiled and said disapprovingly, "Why would I care about these pieces of trash?"
