As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills-Novel2

496 Fear

Gongye Zhang’s mind raced, and he quickly made a decision.

“Master Jiu, I’m willing to hand over the General’s Token. However, I hope you can hand over Ning Caichen, Rao Wuqing, Wu Ming, and the others. After I obtain the General’s Token, I’ll definitely go to the General’s Tomb and find a solution for your naturally terminated meridians!”

This was an extremely tempting condition. If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely agree.

After all, a person with an extraordinary background who was unable to cultivate due to his naturally terminated meridians was destined to yearn for the path of freedom and longevity. Gongye Zhang believed that his condition would not be rejected.

As expected, Gongye Jiu revealed a longing expression and immediately said, “Since you have this intention, then I can’t reject it. You can go out and wait now. I’ll hand them over to you later.”

!!

Gongye Zhang revealed a delighted expression and hurriedly responded before walking out of the door.

“Master Gongye, how is it? Will Master Jiu agree to our request?”

Mo Rong hurriedly walked forward. He did not dare to look down on Gongye Jiu. Gongye Jiu was the son of a Heavenly Saint and was definitely not someone he, the son of the sect master of the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven, could compare to.

In response, Gongye Zhang laughed heartily and recounted the sequence of events. However, he hid the matter of the General’s Token and the General’s Tomb. After listening to it, although they felt that something was wrong, they were still very pleased.

He could finally capture these traitors…

Bang!

In the next second, the door to Gongye Jiu’s residence was tightly shut.

What was going on?

Just as everyone was in a daze, a great array formation was activated. A powerful force isolated everything, including Gongye Zhang, Mo Rong, and the others. They were unable to get close at all.

“Master Jiu, what are you doing!”

Gongye Zhang’s face froze, and he felt that something was wrong. However, before he could say anything, an angry shout was heard, “Master Jiu has ordered that all of you leave quickly. Otherwise… you will be killed without mercy!” the leader of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators shouted coldly.

Gongye Zhang’s face fell. How could he not understand that he had been played? Gongye Jiu would not hand Ning Caichen over.

Gu Chi and the others had strange expressions on their faces. Gongye Zhang was full of confidence just now, causing them to be overjoyed. In the end, they were all misled.

“Let me do it.”

Gu Chi let out a sigh. Protector Li walked out from the side and stared coldly at Gu Chi. “Hand over the people now, or don’t blame me for being impolite!”

They were both from a Saint Clan, and he was also a Soul Formation Realm expert. Naturally, he was not afraid of the Nascent Soul Realm guard in front of him. However, the Nascent Soul Realm guard sneered.

“What a joke! This is a top-notch fifth-grade array formation. Even a Soul Formation Realm cultivator would not be able to break it in a short period of time… If you think you have the ability to break in, then do it!”

“How arrogant!”

Protector Li flew into a rage out of humiliation and was about to attack when he was pulled back.

“Protector Li, don’t act rashly. Master Jiu’s father is the Heavenly Saint. If we act, we might offend him. This could lead to the destruction of our Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land! It’s very likely that even Master wouldn’t be able to deal with it.”

Gu Chi’s mind was extremely clear at this moment. Upon hearing this, Protector Li could only grit his teeth and give up for now. He looked at Gongye Zhang.

“Master Gongye, what do you think we should do next?”

His tone was very cold, obviously dissatisfied with Gongye Zhang.

Gongye Zhang was a little upset by his tone. After a long while, he took a deep breath and slowly said, “I naturally have a way. However, I hope that everyone can cooperate with me…”

“Haha, cooperate with you? Master Gongye, it’s useless even if the strongest person in your family comes. Furthermore, you would never dare provoke Master Jiu. Naturally, you won’t be able to take down Ning Caichen and the rest… Most importantly, Master Jiu is a member of your family, yet he wants to protect Ning Caichen and the rest. Shouldn’t you, a direct descendant of the Gongye family, give us an explanation?”

“Or could it be that you seem to be helping us and cooperating with us, but you are actually playing tricks behind our backs and don’t want to hand over Ning Caichen and the others to us? Hmm?”

At this moment, Mo Rong’s tone was clearly unfriendly. He stared at Gongye Zhang, wanting to see through him thoroughly.

“Everyone, don’t worry. I also want to take down Ning Caichen and the others… It’s just that Master Jiu’s temperament has always been strange. I need to invite the old ancestor out to have a chat with him…”

Soon, the news came back. However, Gongye Zhang had to clean up his own mess.

Gongye Zhang’s face instantly fell. He understood that the clan’s ancestor was unwilling to offend Gongye Jiu. The latter’s identity was too special.

It was also at this moment that a powerful force swept over, causing the ground to tremble. It came from the depths of the mansion.

“Why are you still here? Master Jiu’s words have long been passed down. He wants you to get lost quickly… In addition, Gongye Zhang, go back and reflect on yourself. Back then, you owed someone a favor. However, not only did you not think of repaying the favor, you even wanted to snatch the token back. How could such a heartless person like you be worthy of being the grand disciple of the old master?”

The old master referred to Master Jiu’s father.

Gongye Zhang’s father was Master Jiu’s father’s disciple. Logically speaking, an elder should protect the younger generation. However, now it was the other way around. Gongye Jiu wished he could expel him from the sect!

At this moment, Gongye Zhang clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to say more. However, he was pulled away by his subordinates.

“Master, we don’t have the ability to fight against Master Jiu now. We definitely can’t take down Ning Caichen and the others.”

“That’s right. Who is Master Jiu? And who are we? Moreover, I keep feeling that Master Jiu is not a good person. He might want to take the General’s Token and General’s Tomb for himself…”

Gongye Zhang naturally thought of this as well. He clenched his fists even tighter and sneered.

“You said I’m heartless? Wasn’t he a hypocrite himself? Let’s go! I want to see how long Gongye Jiu can live!”

What he did not know was that Gongye Jiu initially had the intention of murdering Jiang Ming’s group and keeping the General’s Token for himself. However, after meeting Jiang Ming, Gongye Jiu immediately changed his mind.

“Master Jiu, why didn’t you eliminate Ning Caichen and the others and take everything in the General’s Tomb for yourself?” someone asked curiously.

Gongye Jiu sat in the pavilion and looked at the bright moon in the sky. He smiled and said, “Do you think I would lay my hands on a future Heavenly Saint?”

What did he mean?

The subordinate was puzzled. Was Ning Caichen a future Heavenly Saint?
