Chapter 92 The Despicable Nine Infants
Chapter 92 The Despicable Nine Infants
After the healing mage arrived, he quickly cast a spell, and Jiang Shaoqing felt better.
He stood up; although he was still injured, the problem was no longer serious.
"Thanks," Jiang Shaoqing said.
"Do we need to talk about this because of our relationship?" Ye Quan chuckled twice, feeling somewhat disappointed.
Even Jiang Shaoqing had to thank him.
"So, what are you planning to do next?" Ye Quan asked.
Jiang Shaoqing remained silent for a while, but decided to go inside to find Wu Ku as he had planned.
Otherwise, if the Zijin Army came, they would be like headless birds, unable to play their role at all.
But now Jiang Shaoqing himself has lost track of Wu Ku.
We'll have to start the search all over again.
"I need to go inside and find him. We can't just leave him like this," Jiang Shaoqing said, then glanced at Ye Quan.
It would be perfect if Ye Quan could help in this situation; he is quite powerful and is also a super-level mage.
If he were with him, it wouldn't be impossible for them to stop Wu Ku.
"I'm not going." Ye Quan seemed to know what Jiang Shaoqing was planning, and immediately shook his head, resolutely refusing to help even without knowing who the other person was or why.
But Jiang Shaoqing would never tell him about Wu Ku's true identity.
He is a soldier and needs to take the lead in observing discipline.
Jiang Shaoqing was a little annoyed that he couldn't get Ye Quan's help, but it was alright. They would be traveling together for the next part of the journey, and as for separating later, that was a matter for later.
Whether Ye Quan will help at that time is another matter.
Su Ming paused for a moment when he heard Ye An call out the name Jiang Shaoqing, and he thought of Jiang Shaoxu.
The Jiang family is a large family, and the younger generation in such families usually start with "Young Master Jiang." This Jiang Shaoqing is very likely one of Jiang Shaoxu's older brothers.
However, he couldn't be sure and didn't go up to confirm.
There was one more person in the next group.
……
Inside the Helan Mountains, a person dressed in red kept moving forward. He moved quickly, constantly looking around as if searching for someone.
"Wu Ku!"
He suddenly shouted and ran to the person in front of him, stopping beside him.
Wu Ku was already very deep inside. There was no one else here, only him, and there were obstacles a distance outside him, so it wasn't easy to come in.
He paused for a moment after hearing the call, then realized who was calling him.
Wu Ku turned to look at Jiuying and said, "Why did you decide to come here, Lord Jiuying?"
Wu Ku was very wary. He wanted to kill Jiuying, but he knew he couldn't, so he didn't make a move.
Bifang is a temptation, and even Jiuying, despite being a cardinal, may not be able to resist it.
He had to be on guard.
"Stop one of them from coming in," Jiu Ying said.
"Who?" Wu Ku asked. Who else could be worth Jiu Ying personally intervening to intercept?
"There's a guy named Su Ming. He has Garuda on him. We can't let him in, or he'll ruin everything," Jiuying said directly, without hiding anything.
Wu Ku did not agree immediately, but frowned.
He had heard of the name Garuda, but he didn't know exactly what it was. Judging from the appearance of the Nine-Headed Serpent, it might indeed be a very dangerous creature.
As for Su Ming?
Wu Ku didn't think he was anything special; he was just an ordinary mid-level mage, nothing to brag about.
"I'm busy, I have things to do." Wu Ku refused. If it were up to Jiu Ying, she could definitely stop him; there was no need for her to stop him.
There must be something fishy about Jiuying not going now, and he won't fall for it.
Although Su Ming is not worth mentioning, what if he is accompanied by certain people?
With such a commotion at Helan Mountain, it's not surprising that powerful super-level mages would come.
Jiang Shaoqing is one such example. He's quite capable, but he's still a little less skilled than Wu Ku.
"I'm just here to inform you that you have to go, whether you like it or not. I'm of a higher rank than you, so this is an order, not a request, understand?" Jiuying said arrogantly, not giving Wu Ku any face at all.
"I only have one superior, Lord Jiuying. As for you, Lord Jiuying... I respect you, but I hope you won't overstep your bounds," Wu said with a wry smile, showing no fear.
"You..." Jiuying narrowed her eyes, somewhat angry. It was just a dog under her command. Even she was nothing in front of Jiuying. How could this dog giant be so arrogant?
It really is...
"Your master is going to ascend to godhood in the ancient capital, right?" Jiuying suddenly laughed, appearing very relaxed.
"Tell me... what if I told those people at the Inquisition that your master was going to ascend to godhood in the ancient capital? What if I told them about Wu Ku's whereabouts and those raging springs?"
"Do you think the Judgment Council will believe that if they find out the information that the Undead Emperor will be awakened, what will happen?"
"You're a smart man, you don't want your master's deification to be ruined, do you?" Jiuying smiled. He held Wu Ku's lifeline in his hands. He knew everything, and if it were to get out, the impact would be enormous.
They couldn't bear the Nine-Headed Serpent's betrayal, so they had no choice but to agree; this was the Nine-Headed Serpent's confidence.
Wu Ku's face was grim. It was indeed the case, and he had no choice but to agree. Jiu Ying was too ruthless, so he had no option but to agree.
We need to find a way to kill Jiuying. His existence is a hidden danger. He is a madman and we don't know when he will go crazy again. We must be on guard.
Wu Ku stopped in his tracks. He needed to go back and wait for Su Ming's arrival, to intercept Su Ming. All of this was because of Jiu Ying, which had changed his plans.
The Nine-Headed Serpent has disappeared, and no one knows where it went. Wu Ku is furious, but there's nothing he can do.
It's highly likely that Jiuying went to find Bifang, which infuriated him, but he dared not gamble, because Jiuying was really going to expose their plan.
This frustrated him, but since it had already happened, he might as well do his best.
Inside the Helan Mountains, the Forbidden City Army had already arrived, but they couldn't contact Jiang Shaoqing or give any instructions, which put them in a very passive position, and they couldn't see the agreed-upon signal.
"Captain, Jiang Shaoqing has gone missing. Do you think he might have forgotten that we were there to provide backup?"
"No, I know Jiang Shaoqing well, I won't forget him. It's just that there's a problem, and it's very serious," the leader said.
"Do you think he might have been killed by Wu Ku? I've heard that Wu Ku is very powerful, and he's also a victim of the war. Jiang Shaoqing doesn't know that he has information about a victim, so he's likely to be at a disadvantage. I feel there's a high possibility that he was killed."
"That's possible..."
"really……"
The group chattered excitedly. They had already parachuted down, but because there was no guidance, they had become quite scattered and didn't know where they were.
Now, all we can do is make a simple judgment and head inside.
The Helan Mountains are so vast, I don't even know if the route is correct.
