Immortal Skills - Chapter 529
529 Elder Mo
After the cultivators of the Zhuyan Palace arrived, they stood to the side and observed the ancient battlefield. They had no intention of communicating with any of the forces.
“They’re so arrogant!” Zhai Tianfeng pursed his lips and said disdainfully.
Jiang Ming shook his head and said, “It’s not what you think. The people of Zhuyan Palace are not insufferably arrogant. On the contrary, they are being humble by coming here without creating a spectacle.”
It was Jiang Ming’s first time seeing such a powerful force behave so inconspicuously, and he had other thoughts that he did not voice.
It was also at this moment that some cultivators from Zhuyan Palace walked over.
“Young man, can we talk?”
The representative of Zhuyan Palace spoke. It was a white-haired old man with a hunched back. Beside him was a young man and woman. They looked dignified and imposing.
However, it was obvious that although this young man and woman were prodigies, they did not have an air or arrogance about them. They appeared rather approachable.
Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and looked around. “Are you talking to me?”
“That’s right.”
The representative of Zhuyan Palace nodded.
Jiang Ming pondered for a moment and then said, “If you have anything to say to me, say it here.”
Seeing that Jiang Ming did not trust him, the old man didn’t get angry. He just smiled and said seriously, “I’ve long heard of your reputation. Even the Empire of Slaughter has set their eyes on you. We’ve wanted to visit you many times before. However, we ran into you today. You’re extraordinarily talented!”
“Alright, old man, there is no need to flatter me. You definitely have something important to discuss. Why don’t you say it as soon as possible?”
At this moment, the young female cultivator said, “We don’t have anything important to say. We just want to tell you that Protector Li of the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land is trying to harm you. That’s all.”
The young male cultivator nodded and said seriously, “Protector Li wants to use you all to provoke the Ancient Yin Yang Sect and weaken them. He also wants to use the Ancient Yin Yang Sect to eliminate you. Thus, killing two birds with one stone.”
They spoke calmly and seemed to have no ulterior motives, which stunned Jiang Ming.
“You came to me just to tell me this?”
“Yes.”
The old man nodded and said with a smile, “We can see that you’re a genius. Moreover, you took the lead to fight for your subordinates. You are destined to be a hero. People like you must not make any mistakes. Otherwise, the world of immortal cultivation will be very boring in the future.”
After saying that, the old man left directly, leaving Jiang Ming standing rooted to the ground.
What was going on?
Jiang Ming kept rubbing his temples, feeling a headache coming on.
It was also at this time that the old man and the other two returned to the Zhuyan Palace camp.
“Elder Mo, why are you helping Master Ning?”
The young female cultivator was confused.
The young male cultivator explained, “You should understand that there are countless people in the world who are good at divination. Elder Mo is one of the best. He is a seer who can be compared to Gongye Jiu. The reason why Elder Mo is so concerned about a stranger is enough to show that this stranger has a great connection with the Zhuyan Palace. Moreover, it is a positive connection… Elder Mo, am I right?”
Elder Mo laughed and nodded. “You’re absolutely right. I’ve seen glimpses of his future through the Heavenly Eye. Although I can’t see further, I can see that he will help the Zhuyan Palace reach a higher level in the near future. Moreover, his power is not limited to the South Continent. By befriending this young gentleman, we are also paving the way for the future of the Zhuyan Palace!”
The young female cultivator’s expression changed.
“How is that possible? We’re essentially the Ancient Zhuyan Nation. How is a strange young man qualified to help the Zhuyan Ancient Nation reach higher peaks?”
At this moment, the young female cultivator wondered if Elder Mo had gone senile. Otherwise, he would not have said such words.
Elder Mo smiled but did not answer.
The young male cultivator at the side said, “Qing Luan, stop talking nonsense! Elder Mo’s divination skills have been perfected. How can you question him like this?”
“I didn’t!”
The young female cultivator’s expression changed again. She was afraid that her words would cause a misunderstanding.
“Alright, alright, simmer down. Chi Lian, you have to cultivate your temperament. You can’t be so rude to women. Otherwise, you won’t be able to find a cultivation partner in the future.”
Elder Mo smiled.
The corner of the young male cultivator’s lips twitched. However, he did not say anything else. He looked in Jiang Ming’s direction with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
Obviously, for him, Jiang Ming might be the chosen one mentioned by Elder Mo. However, it did not mean he would not see him as competition!
“I wonder how strong Ning Caichen is to warrant so much praise from Elder Mo. Even I, the top prodigy of the outer sect, hardly get any praise from Elder Mo.”
As a man, he would naturally have a competitive nature!
It was also at this moment that Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up.
“Friend, did you hear that?”
The black sword returned and recounted the previous conversation between the three of them in detail, which stunned Jiang Ming.
“I can’t believe Elder Mo is another expert at divination.”
A strange light flashed in Jiang Ming’s eyes. If he met another person as good in divination in the future, would he be in trouble?
“Bro, I don’t think you need to worry. After all, you are the master of disguise!”
The black sword spoke very seriously, causing the corners of Jiang Ming’s lips to twitch uncontrollably.
“Alright, there’s no need to spew nonsense!”
Jiang Ming pretended to be angry and immediately raised his eyebrows.” According to Elder Mo of the Zhuyan Palace, Protector Li is going to do exactly what I guessed before. Amazing! He really does look down on me!”
Before this, Jiang Ming was still somewhat uneasy, afraid that he would lose everything if he miscalculated. However, now it seemed that his decision was the best one.
“If that’s the case, then we can make use of this time to make arrangements and prevent those scoundrels from taking the lead. We’ll be at a disadvantage then.”
Jiang Ming’s mind was racing. After a long pause, he finally figured everything out. He immediately got up and strode toward the other side.
“Everyone!”
He was meeting the group of people from the Ancient Yin Yang Sect.
An elder of the sect narrowed his eyes and asked disdainfully, “Who are you?”
They were arrogant and did not respect anyone at all. Of course, this did not include the people from Zhuyan Palace.
