As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills-Novel2

552 Jiang Ming’s Plan

Liao Bufan’s imposing manner made Jiang Ming take a step back subconsciously.

“How strong!”

Liao Bufan was not only a powerful cultivator, but every aspect of him exuded raw power. Liao Bufan seemed to be a unique existence in the world. He stood there without making a sound, but he seemed to carry a monstrous divine might.

Jiang Ming could not help but be stunned for a while. He heard the commander go forward and give him an explanation. He was probably talking about the true identity of Jiang Ming and the others.

Hearing this, Liao Bufan was stunned. He squinted at Yuan Kui and then knelt on the ground.

“Greetings, Young Emperor!”

Even though he had been of a lofty status when he was alive, he was still a valiant general of the Yuan Wei Empire. He might be arrogant in front of others, but when he saw Yuan Kui, who possessed extraordinary talent and held the position of the young emperor, he chose to kneel down respectfully.

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and said as if nothing had happened, “Yuan Kui, it seems like your identity as the young emperor is really extraordinary. Even someone this powerful kneels down before you.”

If it were anyone else, they would have attacked Jiang Ming long ago. To speak to the young emperor like this was to look down on the young emperor and the Silent Cavalry!

However, Liao Bufan was not an ordinary person. He quickly turned his gaze to Jiang Ming.

“Master Ning, you might not know this, but the young emperor represents one of the most exalted positions in the Yuan Wei royal family. He is only second to the emperor and is even a few levels higher than the crown prince of the Eastern Palace.”

He already knew Jiang Ming’s identity. His name was Ning Caichen. Logically speaking, he was an ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivator. However, as long as he was related to the Heavenly Saint, it was enough to show that Jiang Ming was extraordinary.

Hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded, and then suddenly said, “I want to ask, isn’t there a powerful cultivator in your area called Dark King Qing Liao? Why didn’t he come out and stop those invading forces? Instead, they want the vassal forces like you to participate in the war.”

Jiang Ming was puzzled.

At this time, Liao Bufan explained again, “That’s because this is a special characteristic of the Netherworld. Dark King Qing Liao was sent by the higher-ups of the Netherworld to govern this domain. As long as there were no big problems that affected the ruling power of the higher-ups, Dark King Qing Liao would not interfere at all. Moreover, he doesn’t care about which vassal forces existed in this domain either.”

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. He finally understood. Qing Liao was only responsible for attacking when someone dared provoke the Netherworld.

“Of course, this is also related to the reason why the rulers of the other Netherworld domains did not make a move. If those people made a move, it would involve the battle between the rulers of the other Netherworld domains… If that happens, we’ll be in trouble. The Qing Liao Netherworld court won’t do anything. But if the Qing Liao Netherworld court is provoked or attacked, we’ll have to do something. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

Liao Bufan could not help but smile bitterly. This was the Netherworld, where the hierarchy was strict. The weak could only obey the strong unconditionally. Even if the Yuan Wei Yin army was strong, they still could not compete with the real rulers.

Jiang Ming trembled again. After taking a deep breath, he said seriously, “Then don’t you plan to resist? Perhaps we can gather all our strength to overthrow the Qing Liao Netherworld court? Then, they can no longer oppress you!”

After he finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have said too much, but Liao Bufan shook his head indifferently.

“We have all made such plans, but no one cares about our actions, especially the Qing Liao Netherworld court. In their eyes, no matter how many attempts we make, they will be useless because there will always be traitors among us. The most important thing is that we don’t have a strong leader to lead us.”

Liao Bufan sighed.

Jiang Ming was stunned and asked instinctively, “Now that you have Yuan Kui, can’t you try again?”

“Of course not. There’s a powerful faction nearby called the Blood Stream Holy Sect. It’s impossible for them to submit to our young emperor.”

Liao Bufan shook his head repeatedly. Suddenly, he thought of something, and his gaze fell on Jiang Ming. action

“Master Ning, I just heard the commander say that you have obtained the approval of the Heavenly Saint and will become the new Feather King?”

Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and shook his head. “I am only one of the candidates that he has chosen to become the new Feather King. After all, I do not know if he has arranged for anyone else…”

He could roughly guess what Liao Bufan wanted to do. He wanted to dispel his thoughts, but Liao Bufan didn’t seem to catch the hint.

“Being a candidate is enough. That means that the Heavenly Saint thinks highly of you. As long as you show up, the Blood Stream Holy Sect will definitely be willing to cooperate with us and respect you!”

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

Especially Marshal Zhao, who subconsciously frowned.

“Both of our factions are interested in you, Master Ning, but that doesn’t necessarily apply to the Blood Stream Holy Sect. They’re more interested in the Blood Master and the Blood Ancestor. Unless…”

“It’s fine. There’s still time. We just need to show our trump cards first and let Master Ning return to the human world to fight for the position of Feather King.”

“You must know that the position of Feather King is supreme. Even if it’s just an empty title, it’s still far more noble than our young emperor, the Blood Ancestor, and Emperor Liu Song… Marshal Zhao, don’t you think so?”

At this moment, Liao Bufan spoke with a smile, completely ignoring Jiang Ming’s own wishes. However, Jiang Ming knew very well that this was the best opportunity for him to establish a force in the Netherworld. If he missed it, there might not be another chance.

I’m currently not strong enough. I have to establish my own power in the human world and the Netherworld… Otherwise, my fate will always be in the hands of Yu Tianhua, Mo Lingche, and the others.”

One was the Heavenly Saint, and the other was a reincarnated immortal.

Both of them were far stronger than Jiang Ming. They could kill him without even lifting a finger. In order to get rid of the control these powerful existences had over him, Jiang Ming naturally needed to find every opportunity to become stronger. If he wanted to become stronger, he needed enough resources and opportunities.

Of course, Jiang Ming also considered another factor.

Zhu An’an!

Jiang Ming’s gaze fell on Zhu An’an, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He then sent out a voice transmission. “Friend, hide An’an’s fate and physique!”
