89 Intercepting and Killing the Liang Family
“A few days ago, the Grandmasters fought because of a strange flower that suddenly bloomed. Yesterday, a purple-root grass with a flowing silver light appeared, causing a bloody fight. More than thirty martial artists died. Within a radius of ten miles from the forbidden zone, the growth rate of the vegetation has become faster again. A withered thunderstruck tree has sprouted new shoots. A martial artist who was resting on the thunderstruck tree suddenly broke through to the next realm.”
For the next few days, Jiang Ming was more and more shocked as he listened to Yu Yan’s information.
Unfortunately, after a few more days, the scene of the plants recovering and the cultivators breaking through was still only within a five-mile radius of the forbidden zone.
Almost all the martial artists had squeezed into the five-mile radius of the forbidden zone, fighting and killing to obtain all kinds of mutated plants. In just a few days, hundreds of martial artists had died.
Jiang Ming muttered to himself, “Could it be that the place where the mysterious immortal is sleeping is a place with rich vital Qi? Is the immortal’s vital Qi leaking and causing the surrounding vital Qi to change because he’s about to wake up?”
Another swift flew back.
“A martial artist entered the forbidden zone with a Yellow Jade Pearl and came out alive. He brought back a small tree that bore fruit. It seems to be more precious than the exotic flowers and plants outside the forbidden zone. It was snatched by the Liang family! The forces with Yellow Jade Pearls have entered the forbidden zone one after another, but each Yellow Jade Pearl seems to be able to protect only three to five people. Most of them are still fighting outside the forbidden zone for the mutant plants.”
“It seems that the immortal encounter has really arrived,” Jiang Ming said in a low voice. He raised his hand, and Yu Yan flew back into the air. Then, he got up and walked towards the bar.
On the way, Jiang Ming also adjusted his breathing and calmed his mood.
He had only gained immortality. He had not lived for thousands of years. How could he not be tempted by such an opportunity?
But at this moment, the most important thing was to stay calm. Although the immortal encounter was important, keeping a low profile was even more important.
The immortal encounter this time was obviously unusual. Someone had deliberately created a big wave and caused a fight between martial artists.
“I’ve already confirmed that there’s really an immortal encounter here, and I have the Yellow Jade Pearl. I’ll just sneak into the mountain and seek the immortal encounter a couple of hundred years later. There’s no need to get involved in this mess.”
As he walked, a few old farmers with hoes on their backs passed by him and were also discussing current affairs.
“I didn’t expect that there would be an old immortal living in this ravine!”
“Maybe with a wave of the immortal’s hand, gold, silver, and gems will grow out of the fields, and we’ll be rich.”
“I heard that Old Yan has sneaked into the mountain. I wonder if he can come back with gold.”
Jiang Ming shook his head.
The mess this time was many times bigger than the mess the King of Medicine had caused.
The bar was also in a mess. Many hot-blooded men were staying here for the time being, preparing to enter the mountain.
“A Grandmaster is nothing. Who said that the immortal encounter will definitely be obtained by Grandmasters? If I manage to catch the immortal encounter in the chaos and become an immortal on the spot, what can Grandmasters do to me? They’ll still have to kneel down and call me their master!”
“F*ck, well said! Let’s form a team.”
“Count me in. I’m from Jiangnan City. Where are you from?”
All kinds of different accents mixed together as martial artists from all over the world gathered in groups of three to five, as if they were going to a big event.
In Jiang Ming’s eyes, it was no different from jumping into a meat grinder.
He came to the second floor and happened to see someone.
“Fang Lie, long time no see!”
Jiang Ming sat opposite him and sighed. Of the people who had applied to Tiger Hunting Village with him, only Fang Lie and he were left. In fact, he was considered to have left Tiger Hunting Village.
“If you want to see me every day, then come back to the village!” Fang Lie laughed. There was a shallow blade mark on his face, and his eyes were much sharper. He seemed to have grown a lot in the past few years.
“Has Tiger Hunting Village made any moves?” Jiang Ming also laughed and asked.
Fang Lie nodded, “The leader has brought Guan Feng and a few other second-class martial artists into the mountains.”
Jiang Ming frowned slightly.
Fang Lie could tell what he was thinking and said, “Don’t worry, we’re now a Grandmaster-level force!”
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment. Then, he thought of the Flying Cloud Castle. He was surprised. He did not expect that a low-key force like the Flying Cloud Castle would have a Grandmaster.
Then, he heaved a sigh of relief. That’s right, without a Grandmaster, how would they dare fight for power? However, it seemed that Tiger Hunting Village had joined hands with the Flying Cloud Castle.
“However, the situation this time is a little unusual,” Jiang Ming reminded him.
“Wei Yan said the same thing!” Fang Lie laughed. “We’ll be careful.”
Jiang Ming was relieved. The young man who seemed to be gentle was actually very cunning. There would be no problem with his advice.
“After this, Tiger Hunting Village will be leaving Great Cloud City,” Fang Lie suddenly said.
Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he realized something. Now that the world was suffering from a great drought and the people’s grievances were everywhere, in addition to this storm, there would be countless casualties among the martial artists, and maybe even a few Grandmasters would die. It was almost inevitable for the aristocratic families to feel unsafe.
Taking advantage of their fear was a way to rise.
“It’s only been a few years,” Jiang Ming sighed internally.
If everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, the Green Mountain Army would not have been able to raise such a big army. They fought all the way to Jiangnan City and were only destroyed when they tried to hurt the aristocrats.
After drinking, Jiang Ming returned home and continued to live his daily life.
One day, Jiang Ming was eating noodles when a swift suddenly landed on the table and chirped.
“Something big seems to have happened in the forbidden zone. All the martial artists with the Yellow Jade Pearls have entered the forbidden zone! The Liang family has two Yellow Jade Pearls. The Grandmasters and all the Dao Masters of the Liang family have entered the forbidden zone and sent a few first-class martial artists to secretly escort the exotic flowers and rare herbs out of the mountain. No one has found them so far.”
Jiang Ming stopped eating, and his eyes revealed a strange look.
He muttered to himself, “It seems that the Grandmasters and Dao Masters have entered the forbidden zone to fight for the immortal fate, but they were afraid that some desperadoes would plunder their loot, so they got first-class martial artists to guard it.”
The Liang family probably did not expect to obtain these exotic flowers and rare herbs from the beginning, so they did not make thorough arrangements. Now that there was a sudden change in the forbidden zone, they could only send a few first-class martial artists to guard their loot.
“If that’s the case, then if I don’t make a move, it won’t make sense!”
Jiang Ming’s eyes moved slightly. He had made up his mind to destroy the Liang family. Their loot was just a bonus.
“But it’s always better to be careful.”
Jiang Ming did not act rashly and sent Yu Yan to keep an eye on the Liang family at all times.
The next night, Jiang Ming held a short blade and sat quietly in his room.
A swift quietly returned.
“It’s confirmed that they’re only first-class martial artists, and they’ve all displayed their strength in the mountains! The route chosen is remote and difficult to walk. There is no trace of anyone within a ten-mile radius.”
“Very good!” Jiang Ming nodded, his eyes calm.
When he had to hide, he would hide. When he had to kill, he would kill. It was time for him to make a move now.
He got up and jumped out of the window.
