Gongye Zhang was furious. He glared at a cultivator from the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land who had also been left behind.
"What do you mean? Why did you stop me from entering the General's Tomb? Previously, I was told that as long as I do my job well, you will bring me into the General's Tomb. Are you trying to break your promise now?"
His eyes were filled with anger.
The cultivator glanced at him and sneered. "Master Gongye, are you sure you have done your job well?"
"I've already stalled everyone in the family. I guarantee that no one will come to save Ning Caichen and his followers. Wasn't that the deal?"
Gongye Zhang's face turned even redder. He felt that these people were manipulating him.
The cultivator snorted and said disdainfully, "Enough with this nonsense. To tell you the truth, Ning Caichen and the others didn't appear here at all. The Slaughter Seed took care of them."
This time, Gongye Zhang was instantly rendered speechless. He took a few steps back and said in a panicked voice, "Impossible! My men clearly saw that Ning Caichen and the others had left Unending City. They must have come to the General's Tomb. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to open the General's Tomb without a General's Token. Could they have disguised themselves?"
When he asked this question, the cultivator sneered even more. He sized up Gongye Zhang as if he were looking at an idiot.
"Master Gongye, I'm afraid that you need to have your brain checked. Don't forget that the people of the Hall of Slaughter are best at disguising themselves."
At this moment, Gongye Zhang's gaze was a little unfocused as he left in a daze. He had never expected that he would fail at the brink of success in the end. All his efforts had been in vain.
Gongye Jiu was currently standing in a certain direction and watching Gongye Zhang.
"Master Jiu, do you want to go and see him?" the green-robed man asked.
Gongye Jiu shook his head and said, "He has long lost his way. Such a person is destined to never achieve great things. He is useless to the Gongye family. He won't meet a good end."
Soon, Gongye Jiu retracted his gaze and looked coldly in a certain direction.
"That woman is here too."
The green-robed man's heart trembled. He could not help but look around as if he felt some great fear.
Gongye Jiu patted his shoulder and chuckled. "There's no need to worry. She wouldn't dare cause trouble in the Feather Kingdom. After all, Mo Lingche is no longer the little brat from back then. He has grown up. She is no match for him."
The green-robed man was stunned. He looked at Gongye Jiu with some reluctance. "Master Jiu, are you really planning to leave?"
Gongye Jiu nodded and looked in the direction of the General's Tomb. "That kid will grow stronger very quickly. If I stay, I will only be a burden to him… Moreover, if this incarnation of mine doesn't return soon, that person will probably fly into a rage."
The green-robed man was completely silent.
Actually, very few people knew that Gongye Jiu was not the son of a Saint.
The true descendant of a Saint was named Gongye Huan!
Gongye Jiu was merely one of Gongye Huan's incarnations!
"Master Jiu, if you go back, I'm afraid there's no chance of you surviving… Would he really cooperate with Master Ning?"
The green-robed man was most worried about this.
Gongye Jiu laughed and said disapprovingly, "If he doesn't admit it, then he's extremely stupid. It has nothing to do with Ning Caichen… I can feel that Ning Caichen has a bright future ahead of him. He won't be limited to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!"
However, Gongye Jiu was not sure if Ning Caichen would save him in the future.
Cultivators would have incarnations after reaching a certain realm. Their original body was still intact. However, Gongye Jiu had long developed his own intelligence. No matter what, he did not want to become a part of others. He wanted to become himself.
Moreover, he still had to find that woman!
Back then, in order to force him to return, the original body used this woman to harm him. He was trying to kill him!
Gongye Jiu was afraid that he would be targeted by that woman and affect Jiang Ming's future, so he chose to return!
"Ning Caichen… You are my last hope!"
Jiang Ming knew nothing about this. At this moment, he entered the General's Tomb with the main group and found that the surroundings were constantly changing, forming a relatively quiet area. It seemed to have given birth to some terrifying creatures.
At this moment, Jiang Ming took a few deep breaths, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Then, he closed in step by step. At this time, Tuoba Kui grabbed him.
"Don't get close. Let them scout ahead."
"What did you sense?" Jiang Ming was stunned.
Tuoba Kui nodded and looked around. He lowered his voice and said, "You should know the history of my ancestors, right?"
Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and said seriously, "You mean, this place is related to your ancestors from the Yuan Wei Empire?"
"It has nothing to do with me."
Tuoba Kui shook his head, "This is the tomb of a Great General under Murong of Northern Yan. He was even older than Yuan Wei. However, there is a talent hidden in the bloodline of the descendants of Yuan Wei. They can sense the existence of killing intent and blood Qi. For example, there is an extremely majestic blood Qi in this place. I suspect that there are many soldiers stationed here."
Tuoba Kui's expression darkened slightly after he spoke.
It was also at this moment that Jiang Ming suddenly looked into the distance with a bad premonition.
There was nothing!
However, after a few breaths, a series of powerful footsteps resounded in the General's Tomb, causing countless people's hearts to tremble.
Armored soldiers appeared one after another!
Jiang Ming could not help but gulp. He instinctively wanted to take a few steps back. However, there were people behind him.
"Why are you stumbling? Hurry up and move forward!"
Jiang Ming could not reply. He led the group to open a path and went straight to the back, allowing the people in front to face the soldiers who had appeared out of nowhere.
