596 Meeting Gongye Jiu Again

Zhu An’an was stunned. After thinking carefully for a while, she slowly said, “No, I saw it when I collected the water from the Dragon Burial Pool. I didn’t take the Dragon Burial Sword out of the water. It’s almost as if the Dragon Burial Sword was never here in the first place.”

“This…”

Jiang Ming was even more stunned. He believed that Zhu An’an would not lie, which meant that there must be something strange about this.

What shocking secret was hidden behind all of this?

Jiang Ming’s mind could not help but race. He quickly said, “Friend, do you think the Dragon Burial Sword actually exists?”

“From the way you were attacked, the Dragon Burial Sword does exist.”

Jiang Ming nodded subconsciously and said, “Indeed, that power from before clearly had a source, and it was so sharp that it was clearly related to the sword.”

Upon hearing this, the black sword continued, “In addition, I can feel that there seems to be something in this space that is blocking your way out. A seal will directly lock you in, making it so that you can only come in and not leave safely. In fact, the spiritual energy here will gradually deplete. If this continues, your physical strength will not be able to make ends meet.”

Jiang Ming was stunned. He subconsciously used his divine will to sense the surroundings, and his expression suddenly changed.

“It seems like that is the case. Looks like my previous strategy was wrong. I should have left An’an in the outside world…”

“It’s useless for you to keep her in the outside world. This seal is very powerful. Even a Soul Formation Realm cultivator can’t break through it, let alone you.”

It was not that the black sword thought that Jiang Ming and Zhu An’an were weak, but the person behind all of this was very powerful. This array formation was likely to have reached the sixth tier.

Sixth tier?

No matter how ambitious Jiang Ming was, he was still shocked when he heard this.

What cultivation level of array master could set up such a powerful array formation?

They had to be at least at the peak of the Soul Formation Realm or even at the Deity Transformation Realm.

In the past, Jiang Ming was not afraid of any cultivators in the Deity Transformation Realm. After all, he had several powerful cultivators in the Deity Transformation Realm around him.

But the situation was different now.

Elder Tian and the others were not present. Once Jiang Ming was faced with a great cultivator of the Deity Transformation Realm, he would not be able to resist at all. He could even be killed in an instant!

Jiang Ming gasped and asked subconsciously, “Friend, can you confirm where that powerful existence is?”

“No, the spatial order here is constantly changing, so I can’t determine where the other party is for a while. But I can be sure that the other party is definitely not here for you. Their goal is to seal you here and not let you leave with the secrets here.”

“Could it be because General Long Qie is still alive?”

Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows. After Long Qie died, he turned into an evil spirit and became a true ghost cultivator. If he was still wandering here, he might really seal this area and not let him escape.

In this way, Jiang Ming and Zhu An’an had no way out and could only keep moving forward.

“An’an, I’m sorry. I was wrong this time. The other party’s attainments in array formations are very powerful, and his sealing skills are even more terrifying. I don’t have the ability to leave now… You and I will both be trapped here.”

Jiang Ming sighed.

At this moment, Zhu An’an suddenly handed something over to him. It was a bamboo scroll.

“This was handed to me by Master Mo. He said that Master Jiu asked him to pass it to me so that I could take it out at a critical moment.”

Jiang Ming was stunned. After confirming that the aura on it was indeed Master Jiu’s, he immediately opened it and checked it carefully. Only then did he stand rooted to the ground.

“This bamboo scroll isn’t ordinary. It’s actually made from Kun bamboo.”

Kun bamboo was an extremely special type of bamboo. It could only survive and grow in a place called the Kun Land, but it had almost no use. It was not much different from ordinary bamboo.

Then why did Master Jiu use Kun bamboo to make this bamboo scroll?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming frowned and slowly opened the bamboo scroll. In the next second, a light shadow appeared.

“Ning Caichen.”

Jiang Ming looked over and saw a figure without a face. He was stunned. What was going on?

“Don’t be so surprised. The reason why I left the light shadow behind is to lead you out. But before we leave, I want to bring you to the Dragon Burial Sword first.”

“I believe that Master Mo has already explained the origins of this Dragon Burial Sword to you, so I won’t repeat it. What I want to tell you now is that the treasures hidden in this place are not just the Dragon Burial Sword. There are other things, even nether stones.”

Nether stones!

Jiang Ming and Zhu An’an both trembled. nether stone was a treasure that was above spirit stones and spirit crystals. It was not something that ordinary people could imagine getting their hands on.

Now that he thought of this, Jiang Ming could not help but let out a deep breath. It seemed that Master Jiu was worried about him and even found the hiding place of the nether stone.

“Don’t be so shocked. There are still many things that I have to say next… Nether stones are very important. Even those holy lands and ancient sects hoard them, so you can’t get them for the time being. Thus, you must take the nether stones here!”

“I know some of the secrets the little girl beside you is hiding. She should have some kind of divine body bestowed by the Netherworld. Her fate is also very strong. If she can get the help of the nether stones to cultivate, her future will be bright.”

Hearing this, Zhu An’an’s eyes suddenly widened. She never thought that Master Jiu would take her into consideration.

“Little girl, if you want to thank someone, thank Ning Caichen. I did this for his sake. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have bothered with you.”

Master Jiu spoke calmly, and Jiang Ming felt warm. He did not know why Master Jiu was so good to him, but it always felt good to be cared for.

Then, Jiang Ming asked curiously, “Master Jiu, why do you insist that I go to the Long family? They are the descendants of the once-defeated Long Qie. Even if they have a lot of power in the Qing Kingdom, they shouldn’t have made you go to such great lengths to set up all sorts of methods to lure me in, right?”

Although Gongye Jiu was a member of the Gongye Saint Sect, it had to be said that Gongye Jiu himself was extraordinary. He was not someone that ordinary people could compare to. After all, his father was the son of Saint Gongye.

The son of a Saint was an indescribably noble figure in any era or place. The Long family was nothing in their eyes.

Gongye Jiu laughed.

“You’re overthinking. I’m only sending you to the Long family for the first step of the plan. There are many more things and surprises waiting for you. Is a future Saint like you afraid?”
