Jiang Ming thought about it for a long time but could not figure out the truth. He could only put this matter aside for the time being.
"However, the matter of the immortal cultivators outside the Feather Kingdom tampering with the heavenly tribulation is something I'm definitely not going to excuse. After taking care of the matters within the Feather Kingdom, I will leave the Feather Kingdom and explore the world outside. I have to find out who is targeting me. Is it the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land or the Ancient Yin Yang Sect? Or could it be the Ascension Divine Kingdom or the Hall of Slaughter?"
Jiang Ming's mind was racing as he glanced at Gongye Long.
"Chief Long, are you interested in leaving the Feather Kingdom?"
"You want me to leave the Feather Kingdom?"
Gongye Long was stunned.
Jiang Ming nodded seriously. "Our forces in the Feather Kingdom are basically stable. All we need to do is take care of the details. I will leave the Feather Kingdom within ten years, and in these ten years, I need to establish some forces outside the Feather Kingdom as support. Chief Long, as the ancestor of the Gongye Saint Sect, you are very skilled in establishing and managing your faction. I would be honored to receive your help."
Gongye Long smiled as he waved his hand and said, "Don't be ridiculous. Your flattery is wasted on me. I can help you build a foundation outside the Feather Kingdom, but I need you to provide some manpower."
Hearing this, Jiang Ming frowned slightly and waved his hand.
"Wu Hen!"
"Master!"
Wu Hen arrived with a respectful expression.
Jiang Ming immediately instructed, "From today onward, you will follow Chief Long. In addition, take the group of people I gave you as well. Try to quickly establish a foundation for us abroad."
Jiang Ming's approach was extremely smart.
Ying Sha's Shadow Guards and Fiend Guards were cultivators from outside the Feather Kingdom and had been brought into the Feather Kingdom as additional manpower.
He also asked Wu Hen to recruit thousands of freelance martial artists within the Feather Kingdom, as well as some of the experts of the Flowerfruit Sect, to go outside the Feather Kingdom. This was to ensure that there would not be spies from other sides among their forces.
"As you wish, Master!"
After Wu Hen people left, Jiang Ming summoned another person.
"Huai Mei, you've been here for so long, and I've given you a large number of resources for your cultivation. It's time for you to repay me."
Huai Mei's expression changed. She had been enjoying the various resources and cultivation techniques provided by Jiang Ming for the past twenty years, so she naturally understood that she had to work hard for Jiang Ming.
However, she had never expected that this day would come so suddenly.
Boom!
Jiang Ming raised his hand, and a golden light seal was sent into Huai Mei's body.
"Ning Caichen!"
Huai Mei's expression changed. She did not expect Jiang Ming to attack without giving her a chance to react.
Jiang Ming said coldly, "The Life and Death Seal that I left in your body was created with special methods. Not even Soul Formation Realm cultivators or even Deity Transformation Realm cultivators can break it. Of course, if you can find someone at the Insightful Emptiness Realm who is good at breaking seals, you'll be able to break it. I won't say anything, but if you dare betray me, I won't need to do anything. The Life and Death Seal will take your life."
Huai Mei stared at Jiang Ming with a reluctant expression. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. She rolled on the ground and wailed.
"I was wrong! I was wrong!"
She had never thought that she would one day be reduced to such a state.
The Ghost Spirit Sect's former top genius had now become Ning Caichen's servant!
"Your mission is very simple. After you go out, build a brothel. Hire all the prostitutes around and work for those cultivators. The Illusion Sound Workshop will be the name of the brothel, understand?"
Jiang Ming's gaze was as cold as a blade. He trusted Gongye Long because they needed to depend on each other.
Huai Mei was not the same.
Even though Huai Mei had followed him for a longer period of time, he understood that this woman was definitely not a kind person. If it were not for Zhu An'an's strength rising over the years, and his own power becoming more and more terrifying, he had no doubt that this woman would definitely have taken Zhu An'an away!
"Brothel? Prostitutes to serve the cultivators? The Illusion Sound Workshop? Ning Caichen, what are you trying to do?"
Huai Mei stared at Jiang Ming. He did not respect women!
However, Jiang Ming gave her a cold slap on the face.
"Just do what I tell you to do. Remember, in this world, strength is the most important thing. You are weaker than me and your life is in my control. Of course, if you are not afraid of death, you can attack me. I will stand here and let you attack!"
He was so domineering!
Huai Mei was also a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator now. She was at the same level as Jiang Ming, but their difference in strength was unimaginable.
Moreover, she still had the Life and Death Seal in her body. Her life was indeed in Jiang Ming's hands.
Huai Mei took a few deep breaths and tried her best to calm herself down. Then, she suddenly stood up and stared at Jiang Ming.
"I understand. Goodbye."
Jiang Ming's eyes flickered as he watched Huai Mei leave.
Zhu An'an walked over to the side.
"Mister, do you want me to keep an eye on her for you? Besides, I can also join the Illusion Sound Workshop."
Zhu Anan really wanted to do something for Jiang Ming.
Jiang Ming shook his head. "You can't go."
He looked down on Huai Mei but valued Zhu An'an.
Of course, the reason why Jiang Ming proposed to establish the Illusion Sound Workshop was very clear.
"A brothel is the best place to collect all sorts of information. Compared to an intelligence network or an intelligence agency, a lot of information is usually circulated through small channels. Only people from all walks of life can grasp a lot of useful information. But if you want these people to spill their secrets, you need many methods. A brothel is undoubtedly one of the best ways to get this information."
Jiang Ming was not shooting without thinking. He thought about it for a long time and decided to do everything possible to complete the first step of establishing a foundation in the outside world in the ten years before he actually left.
Whether it was Gongye Long's side or the Illusion Sound Workshop, their goal was to gather intelligence.
"But my roots are still in the Feather Kingdom, so the strength of the Flowerfruit Sect must be raised."
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming could not help but rub his temples.
To be honest, the current situation was clear but not optimistic.
Because of him, the Flowerfruit Sect had always been a force that was at the center of attention. Logically speaking, it was something to be proud of, but at the same time, it also brought a lot of pressure.
Many small factions formed cliques. They did not say that they were on par with the Flowerfruit Sect. However, if they came together, it would not be optimistic for the Flowerfruit Sect. The Flowerfruit Sect would not be able to withstand it.
Moreover, the grotto-heavens, blessed lands, and upper-class factions were also staring at the Flowerfruit Sect.
"The South Moon Grotto-heaven has attracted too much attention. It is said that people from various forces have been stationed in South Moon City and the surrounding cities. They all want to seize the South Moon Grotto-heaven."
