The Cultivation Alliance's commander narrowed his eyes. He really wanted to capture Ning Caichen and uncover his secrets.
However, after much thought, the Cultivation Alliance's commander decided to give up for now.
"With Zhu Asi around, we can't hurt Ning Caichen now… If we were to fight at the same level, our people would not be able to defeat Ning Caichen. Let's forget about it for now. We'll think about how to take down Ning Caichen in the future… Let's go!"
The Cultivation Alliance's commander turned around and left. He left so decisively that even Jiang Ming was a little stunned.
Jiang Ming thought about it and felt that it was because Zhu Asi was present. It was very likely that Zhu Asi gave the other party too much pressure.
"The Cultivation Alliance has already left. What are we still doing here?"
The people from the other factions left one after another. They had come to ride on the Cultivation Alliance's coattails, hoping to use the Cultivation Alliance to take down the South Moon Grotto-Heaven and get rid of the dissident factions to reap as many benefits as possible.
However, who would have thought that the Cultivation Alliance would flee so quickly?
Lin Jia from the Spirit Silkworm Mountain was stunned.
The woman in white from the Green Feather Cultivation Academy also had an ugly expression on her face. They had thought that they could successfully take down Ning Caichen this time, and then threaten Zhang Shan to show himself. As long as they killed Zhang Shan, the humiliation that the two forces had suffered would be resolved.
However, who would have thought that Ning Caichen would actually do this? He had actually brought Zhu Asi along!
For a moment, no one knew what to do.
"What do you mean? What should we do next?"
Lin Jia asked. The white-robed woman remained silent for a long time before she turned around and left.
"Bai Xiuxiu, are you leaving just like that? Aren't you planning to capture Ning Caichen?"
The woman in white coldly said, "If you want to do that, go ahead. I'm not brave enough."
What kind of joke was this? If they offended Zhu Asi, the Green Feather Cultivation Academy might not be able to bear the consequences.
One had to know that this concerned the main headquarters of the Heavenly Alliance and the entire royal family of the Ancient Zhuyan Nation!
Lin Jia's mouth twitched. He naturally did not dare to face this person alone, so he could only grit his teeth and walk away.
Looking at all the forces and cultivators who had left, Jiang Ming frowned even more.
"Is it over just like that?"
Zhu Asi did not expect that his arrival would put such great pressure on these forces.
"It seems that Elder Mo didn't just call me here to ensure Ning Caichen's safety, but to open up a path for him."
He looked at Ning Caichen.
"Brat, your luck this time is pretty good. You were lucky to have met me. But that's a separate matter. Since you owe me a favor, you have to listen to me. Now, follow me to the South Moon Grotto-Heaven."
When Elder Tian heard this, he immediately took a few steps forward and said coldly, "Mr. Zhu, it's their prerogative if others fear you. But I'm still here. Do you not respect me?"
Hearing this, Zhu Si narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
"Sir, I know that you have an extraordinary background. You're from the Azure Python bloodline and are a prominent figure in the demon kingdom. Therefore, I can't ignore your existence."
"Then what do you mean?"
Elder Tian asked unhappily. Zhu Asi took a deep breath and smiled awkwardly.
"Sir, I just want Master Ning to receive better training. The Zhuyan Palace has Elder Mo to support him, so we will definitely provide him with a lot of precious resources…"
Zhu Asi did not continue.
However, Elder Tian had also achieved his goal.
"Master, I've already made this person make a promise to you, but it's up to you to decide whether you want to go to the Zhuyan Palace or not."
Zhu Asi's mouth twitched. Although Elder Tian was a demon, he had many tricks up his sleeve. He was actually trying to trick him into making a promise!
Jiang Ming took a deep breath and said seriously, "Mr. Zhu, don't worry. I will definitely go to the Zhuyan Palace but now is not the best time. I hope you can understand."
Zhu Asi raised his eyebrows.
"Isn't this the best time?"
"No, it is not. I still have many important things to complete, so... I hope you can give me some time."
Jiang Ming continued to speak. He needed to see the South Moon Grotto-Heaven turn into the Flowerfruit Grotto-heaven.
Soon, Zhu Asi nodded and left.
Jiang Ming stayed behind to take care of all the matters here. The site selection and whatnot had been completed, so he had to recruit more disciples!
"Before this, the Flowerfruit Sect was divided into three major parts. The first part is Flowerfruit City and many other cities, which are at the civilian level. The second part is the outer sect level of the Flowerfruit Sect. It's obvious that we've been managing outer sect forces before. Now, we need to establish an inner sect for the third level."
It was normal for a force to be divided into three, six, and nine levels.
The Flowerfruit Sect currently had some core and even true disciples, such as Gu Chi, Sha Luo, and a few others, but it had yet to establish an inner sect.
The inner sect was where the elites were, and it was also a very important part of a faction.
Jiang Ming immediately got Ying Sha and the others to work and announce to the world that they were taking in disciples.
At the same time, Mo Dawei and the others also guessed something.
"Minister Zuo should have been taken away by Ning Caichen and the Flowerfruit Sect."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, especially Yang Zhou.
"Why did they take Minister Zuo away? Minister Zuo is one of your older brother's men and is also one of the enemies of the Flowerfruit Sect. Does Ning Caichen think that he can afford to take away an enemy who is controlled by others?"
Yang Zhou's face was filled with displeasure. This was originally within his control, but now it had developed beyond his control. Once the officials of the royal court knew about it, especially his political enemies, it would definitely be a great humiliation!
Mo Dawei's expression was similarly ugly. After a while, he said coldly, "The reason is simple. Ning Caichen wants to pry some secrets out of Minister Zuo."
"Ning Caichen isn't a simple character. He wants to develop the Flowerfruit Sect, so whether it's the three Grotto-heavens or the imperial court, they will all be his enemies."
As a high-ranking official of the royal court and a member of the Immortal Feather Grotto-heaven, there is no doubt that Ning Caichen wants to interrogate the target."
"Minister Zuo's current situation is probably not much better. He might already be in a state worse than death."
What they did not know was that Minister Zuo was not only not severely interrogated, but he was also enjoying a peaceful life.
"Master, thank you for saving my life… I have to say, the wisest choice I've made in my life was to follow you! If it wasn't for my good luck, I would have lost my life to Yang Zhou and his gang."
