"Hehe, Wu Ming, you didn't come all the way here to just chat with me, did you? I know that you're with Ning Caichen, Rao Wuqing, and the others. Are you planning to use Ning Caichen to accomplish your great cause?"
Gongye Jiu was dressed in a green robe. His face was pale as if he was seriously ill.
He was from the direct line of descent of the family. However, because he was born weak, he could not cultivate. He could only rely on consuming the spiritual fruits of heaven and earth to prolong his life.
This was also the most important point!
Logically speaking, he should have been abandoned.
However, Gongye Jiu's treatment was completely different. Not only was there no ill-treatment toward him, but he was even treated like an elder.
Wu Ming had always been curious about this. He could not help but stare at Gongye Jiu and ask, *How did you know? How could a mortal with no cultivation know all this?"
In his opinion, Gongye Zhang would not tell such a thing to a useless person.
Gongye Jiu laughed and did not intend to say much. He only said, "Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Wu Ming straightened his expression and said seriously, "I want you to arrange for a safe place for us to stay. Furthermore, it is a place that the Gongye family cannot search or set foot in."
"Oh?"
Gongye Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked around. "Then, this is the only place left."
In Unending City, the Gongye family was the absolute ruler. There was no place they could not go.
Of course, Gongye Jiu dared to say this because he was confident. This was also the answer that Wu Ming wanted.
"Alright, I'll contact Ning Caichen and the others now…"
"Wait!"
Gongye Jiu opened his mouth and called out to Wu Ming. He said in a deep voice, "I can let you stay here. However, I need Ning Caichen to do something for me. If he is willing, I will agree to your request."
"What is it?" Wu Ming frowned and asked.
"Ask him to come over and have a chat with me."
Gongye Jiu waved his hand. He did not want to talk to Wu Ming.
Soon, Jiang Ming saw Gongye Jiu and could not help but marvel.
How could such a weak and sickly man actually live for more than two centuries?
"Even if I rely on natural treasures and spirit pills, I can't do it… Could it be that this guy also had an immortal constitution?"
As Jiang Ming thought of this, Gongye Jiu raised his hand and closed the door. He said in a deep voice, "This place is isolated by an array formation. Even a Deity Transformation Realm expert can't hear us. Now, we can have a good chat."
Jiang Ming chuckled.
"What do you want to talk about, Master Jiu? I heard from Wu Ming that you have something important to discuss with me? If I don't agree, you'll expel me, right?"
"That's right."
Gongye Jiu did not hide anything and said straightforwardly, "I heard that you came from the Flowerfruit Mountain. Is that right?"
"That's right."
Gongye Jiu was silent for a moment before saying, "Then does the Flowerfruit Mountain have any technique that people with naturally terminated meridians can cultivate?"
"No, they don't."
Jiang Ming shook his head.
To his surprise, Gongye Jiu did not care much about this. He went straight to the point, "Then do you have any treasures that can extend my life?"
Extend his life?
At this moment, Jiang Ming was silent.
He finally understood. Although Gongye Jiu had relied on the various treasures provided by the Gongye family to extend his life, he was still a mortal who could not last for long. Those treasures had long lost their effect on extending his life. Hence, Gongye Jiu wanted to find a way to extend his life again.
Jiang Ming shook his head again.
"No, I don't."
Gongye Jiu revealed a disappointed expression once again. However, Jiang Ming sensed that this fellow was pretending to be disappointed. He was afraid that there would be more specific requests to come.
"Then can you help me find a person, a woman, to be precise?"
Jiang Ming's lips twitched.
"Master Jiu, what kind of person are you? Do you need someone to find you a woman? With your status, you might not be able to find some female cultivators, but you should be able to find some mortal women, right?"
Gongye Jiu shook his head and said, "The woman I am looking for is an immortal cultivator. However, my search for her has nothing to do with feelings… No, to be precise, I have a grudge against her."
What the hell?
Jiang Ming was stunned.
Who dared provoke the Gongye family? They were a Saint Clan after all!
Even though he was now opposing the Gongye family, that was because he had Rao Wuqing and Wu Ming to back him up. Otherwise, ordinary cultivators would not dare provoke the Gongye family.
Not to mention this Master Jiu who had an extremely special status in the Gongye family!
Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Master Jiu, what's the grudge between you and that woman?"
Gongye Jiu took a deep breath and slowly said, "She killed my wife and daughter!"
Jiang Ming became more and more stunned. The answer was completely different from what he had guessed.
"Why?"
This time, Gongye Jiu didn't answer. He just stared at Jiang Ming. "You only need to tell me if you can avenge me. The rest has nothing to do with you. Do you understand?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ming was silent for a while before he spoke again. "How strong is she?"
"More than a hundred years ago, she was at the Nascent Soul Realm."
Jiang Ming's lips twitched again.
That meant that she was at least at the Soul Formation Realm now. Unless her aptitude was extremely poor, of course…
"Her aptitude is extremely high. In the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land, she would have had the aptitude of a Holy Son. Moreover, she is one of the top disciples..."
This time, Jiang Ming was completely calm.
Once someone with this level of talent cultivated, their cultivation speed would definitely not be slow. It was very likely that they had reached the Soul Formation Realm decades ago and were about to break through to the Deity Transformation Realm now!
"Master Jiu, don't play with me. How can I kill such a powerful person?"
Jiang Ming smiled bitterly.
In the next second, Gongye Jiu suddenly took out a box.
"There is a pill inside. It is a pill that can break restrictions. Moreover, it is a pill that can break restrictions in terms of aptitude. It can increase your aptitude to a higher level. One day, it is very likely that you will reach the level of a Divine Son."
Jiang Ming was tempted.
A Divine Son's strength was miles higher than the strength of a Holy Son.
