Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 235 - 173: Breakthrough to the Mid-Stage of the Ruins Realm, Nearly a Hundred Increase in Root Bone Comprehension!
“What! Li Si, Daoist Fellow, is dead?”
“How can this be!”
“The Elder of the Heavenly Cold Sect from the Sage Realm had clearly been lured away by us, how could he die in the Heavenly Cold Sect?”
The three people, upon hearing the words of Saint Heir, were struck as if by lightning, disbelief written all over their faces.
“Are you suggesting that I am deceiving you?”
Wu Jiang Saint Heir raised an eyebrow.
“We wouldn’t dare!”
“Just, this is truly too unexpected!”
“The three of us thought the task had already been completed and never imagined that there would be any complications on Li Si Daoist Fellow’s side.”
“Perhaps… we should return the points to Saint Heir.”
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
The three people hurriedly bowed and apologized, no wonder the Saint Heir was so displeased; it turned out the task was far from complete.
But at the time, Daoist Fellow Li Si had made such detailed plans, it shouldn’t have ended like this!
“There’s no need for that.”
“You three have, after all, made the journey to the Northern Domain. A mere amount of points is not something I, as Saint Heir, would demand back.”
“However, the matter is ultimately still unfinished.”
“Moving forward, you three should not take on other missions, wait until I, the Saint Heir, send for you before making another trip to the Northern Domain.”
“Rest assured, we’ll let bygones be bygones. When you go to the Northern Domain again, I’ll still ensure you reap your benefits.”
“Now with Li Si dead in the Northern Domain, I, the Saint Heir, need to find another satisfactory follower.”
“If you three perform well, you might spare me the frustration.”
Wu Jiang Saint Heir gave them both a stick and a carrot, after all, not taking back the points for the mission they had taken.
But his business was far from over.
It was clear that the Saintess from the Heavenly Cold Sect could no longer keep up.
But the key was still that Young Dragon hidden within the Gu Family, which he was determined to obtain.
“Thank you, Saint Heir!”
“We will not leave the sect and will await your communication at any time.”
Hearing this, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t a wasted trip after all.
And Wu Jiang Saint Heir had also offered them an olive branch.
If they could seize this opportunity, it might be a chance!
Perhaps they could take over Li Si’s position!
Being by the Saint Heir’s side certainly had more advantages than being an ordinary Tributor, and many people knew—not to mention tolerating it without discussing—that they would give gifts to those around the Saint Heir to curry favor, something which the Saint Heir would not care about.
After the three respectfully took their leave, a figure emerged slowly from beyond the cliffside.
“What does Young Master plan to do next?”
“In my opinion, why not wait a bit? Right now, everyone else wants to benefit from the fisherman’s fortune, waiting to see Young Master bring back the Young Dragon before making a move to draw out the True Dragon.”
“If Young Master waits, the others might grow impatient.”
The person speaking was none other than the Wu Family Elder from the Annihilation Realm Great Power who had attempted to take out Gu Changge outside the Heavenly Cold Sect a few days earlier!
But in the presence of Wu Jiang, he too, was respectful, not daring to put on too much of an elder’s posture, as the entire Wu Family was counting on Wu Jiang, the Saint Heir, for soaring success!
“I, the Saint Heir, don’t have time to wait.”
“Five years from now will be the inheritance of the Immortal Law.”
“You know, the higher the position, the more benefits.”
“If I can obtain the Dragon Ball of the True Dragon, I might even have a hope of breaking into the top five peaks within five years!”
“They can wait, but I, the Saint Heir… cannot wait any longer.”
Wu Jiang waved his hand to indicate there was no need for further persuasion.
However, he then furrowed his brow and asked, “What exactly is the situation with that Gu family kid who has slipped away from you three times consecutively?”
“This… I can’t say for sure, it’s just that every time I make a move on him, he’s able to instantly appear ten or even twenty miles away!”
“Very strange!”
“If not for that kid’s heaven-defying methods, the mission wouldn’t have failed this time.”
“Of course… that Tributor from the Sword Sect is also one of the reasons.”
“Li Si was also slain by that Tributor from the Sword Sect.”
After hearing this, Wu Jiang fell silent for a moment, then spoke again, “Did he survive your last Black Flame strike?”
“I’m not sure.”
“If that Tributor from the Sword Sect is willing to take the hit for him, it might be possible to save his life.”
“However, even if touched for a brief moment, with that kid’s Realm being only Early Stage of the Ruins Realm, he is likely to lose at least half his life.”
The Wu Family Elder shook his head, but he was still very confident in his own strength.
Even if that kid’s methods were heaven-defying, after all, he is just a youngster in the Early Stage of the Ruins Realm. Getting hit with his own Black Flame Divine Power, even if his life could be saved, he would be severely crippled!
“That’s good.”
“To escape from the hands of a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm while in the Ruins Realm, that kid is indeed too bizarre.”
“He must not be left alive.”
“The Gu Family… really keeps getting in my, the Saint Heir’s, way time and time again.”
Wu Jiang nodded slightly, his mood slightly soothed.
Although he did not know what methods that guy used, he also believed in the Elder’s words; being in the Ruins Realm, one couldn’t withstand that Black Flame burn, which would enough to cripple him in moments!
“So, what’s next?” The Wu Family Elder knew he wouldn’t just let this go.
“Could you trouble the Elder to make a trip to the Sword Sect and find a way to have them recall that Tributor?”
“Additionally…”
“Forget it, the rest will be arranged by me, the Saint Heir, when the time comes.”
“Elder, just go and deal with the troubles caused by that Tributor from the Sword Sect first.”
Wu Jiang waved his hand, not wanting to reveal too much, and the Wu Family Elder, seeing this, did not ask further, bowing slightly before his figure vanished beyond the cliff.
After a short while,
Wu Jiang Saint Heir used his own Communication Jade Token to get in touch with someone from another Holy Land.
He indicated that he only wanted the Dragon Ball and that everything else could be negotiated, finally obtaining the other party’s agreement to cooperate.
“The Gu Family… If it weren’t for the Gu Family, I, the Saint Heir, would have had my wish fulfilled by now.”
“Hmph, consider that old thing’s life as the interest I’ve collected.”
