Jiang Ming pondered for a moment. Before he could think of a reason, he had already arrived.
"Hahaha, Rao Wuqing, you're a rare guest. You didn't even inform me before you came. I didn't prepare anything."
It was Gongye Zhang.
He was dressed in a green robe and looked like a scholar. He seemed very friendly.
However, everyone knew that this person was just pretending.
Jiang Ming glanced at this guy and knew that he was a shrewd person.
How could someone like him who was good at divination not know of their arrival?
Rao Wuqing naturally knew this. However, he could not expose it. He just smiled and said, "You must be joking. I am now an individual cultivator… Oh no, I'm now the first elder of the Flowerfruit Mountain. In order to better manage the entire sect, I'll have to trouble you often in the future."
Gongye Zhang's eyelids twitched.
"Flowerfruit Mountain?"
He looked at Jiang Ming subconsciously. Of course, in his eyes, this was Ning Caichen.
"Hehe, Rao Wuqing, don't joke around. I've never even heard of the Flowerfruit Mountain. You're an elder of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land, a capable general. Now that you've advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, I'm sure you'll be able to advance further in the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land."
Rao Wuqing's lips twitched, and he glanced at Jiang Ming. Seeing that the latter had no intention of making a sound, he immediately smiled.
"The Flowerfruit Mountain has just been established. However, we're not weak. Even if it can't compare to the three grotto-heavens and the six blessed lands, it's still at the level of a top sect. After all, our sect master is an absolute expert who is half a step into the Soul Formation Realm."
For a moment, the entire place was deathly silent.
Behind them, Gu Chi, Song Qingshu, and Mo Rong all sneered.
The level of a top sect?
Wasn't it just Rao Wuqing who had just entered the Nascent Soul Realm and a few Golden Core Realm cultivators?
Oh right, there was also a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator and a little girl.
How dare they call themselves a top sect?
At this moment, Mo Rong took the initiative to speak, "Since you intend to establish the Flowerfruit Mountain, why don't you cooperate with me? With the help of the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven and the Mo family, the Flowerfruit Mountain will be able to develop even better. After all, it's not easy in the Feather Kingdom to find a blessed land or a spirit vein."
His words were undoubtedly sowing discord.
However, Jiang Ming and Rao Wuqing ignored them. Jiang Ming said directly, "Alright, let me introduce myself."
He stood up.
"Master Gongye, my name is Ning Caichen. I was born in a holy land outside the Feather Kingdom. This time, I was ordered to go down the mountain to train and I also intend to establish a sect in the Feather Kingdom, the Flowerfruit Mountain. However, in order to increase our strength, our sect's first elder wishes to use a favor from the past. We would like to use your divination to see a person's whereabouts."
"Oh? So, Ning Caichen, you intend to be the sect master of Flowerfruit Mountain?"
Without waiting for Gongye Zhang to speak, Gu Chi interrupted. Jiang Ming could not help but rub his temples and say with annoyance, "Holy Son Gu Chi, you're too immature. Why did a child like you interrupt when the adults were talking?"
"You!"
Gu Chi's face fell. He had been humiliated for no reason. If Rao Wuqing was not here, he would have taught him a lesson.
Fortunately, they had conspired with Mo Rong this time. Therefore, they would definitely be able to spare Jiang Ming and Rao Wuqing's lives.
However, the next moment, a leisurely voice sounded.
"You're just looking for me. Why did you have to consult the Gongye family for a divination?"
He was here!
Jiang Ming was stunned. He did not expect Wu Ming to take the initiative to find him. He immediately looked up and saw a figure descending.
"Wu Ming!"
This time, Mo Rong's expression became even uglier.
Another enemy!
As a big family in the cultivation world of the Feather Kingdom, the Mo family naturally wanted to hoard enough resources. They also needed to constantly suppress the group of individual cultivators. In this way, Wu Ming, the top individual cultivator, was undoubtedly the number-one enemy of the Mo family.
"Good heavens, it seems that Mo Rong's enemies keep increasing."
Gongye Zhang sized up the crowd with a fake smile, gloating in his heart.
He did not care who won or lost. He was just watching the show.
However, at this moment, Rao Wuqing suddenly said, "Since Wu Ming has come, we'll take our leave first."
He planned to leave.
Gongye Zhang's expression changed. He immediately stood up and asked, "Rao Wuqing, did you forget something?"
Rao Wuqing naturally understood that Gongye Zhang wanted him to return that supreme treasure.
Unfortunately, Rao Wuqing had no intention of returning it!
This was a favor. The original intention was to ask the Gongye family to help him perform a divination before returning it to him. However, now that Wu Ming was here, did he still need to return this thing to him?
Gongye Zhang's expression darkened completely. Unfortunately, he could not make a move. After all, Wu Ming was definitely not weak. He could be said to be the strongest person below the Soul Formation Realm. Once he made a move, the Gongye family would definitely suffer heavy losses.
Gongye Zhang watched as the group of people left, his expression extremely sinister.
At this moment, Gu Chi and Mo Rong walked forward.
"Holy Son Gu Chi, why aren't you attacking?" Mo Rong questioned. This was completely different from what they had agreed on.
Gu Chi snorted coldly.
"Elder Mo, don't treat us as fools. Would you really dare attack them?"
Mo Rong's face stiffened.
Naturally, he would not dare attack Jiang Ming. Before this, he had only been making a fuss. After all, Jiang Ming was Ning Caichen. He was someone Mo Lingche wanted to protect.
Gu Chi sneered again and looked at Gongye Zhang.
"Master Gongye, are you planning on not returning that thing?"
Everyone knew that Gongye Zhang owed Rao Wuqing a favor back then and had handed over something as a keepsake. Now, he insisted on returning because he did not want to have anything to do with Rao Wuqing.
Of course, if Rao Wuqing was still in the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land, Gongye Zhang would definitely suck up to him. However, now that Rao Wuqing had betrayed the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land, Gongye Zhang naturally did not want to have too much to do with him.
Unfortunately, Rao Wuqing did not do as he was told!
Gongye Zhang said with uncertainty, "Of course, I have to return it. However, I have to make preparations first. After all, Wu Ming is not weak. Rao Wuqing has also advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm. His combat strength can be said to be extremely strong. I don't dare make a move before I'm completely confident."
He looked at everyone and could not help but smile. "Do you want to cooperate? After all, Reverend Mo still owes my family's ancestor a favor. Even if I kill Ning Caichen, I will, at most, be questioned. The punishment will not be excessive."
For a moment, everyone's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea!
Not only could he get rid of Ning Caichen, but he could also get rid of Wu Ming and Rao Wuqing. It was killing three birds with one stone!
