Chapter 591 - 333: Star Sea Battles Nine Palace Starlight! Identity Exposed!
The three from the Qin Dynasty certainly wouldn’t let the three from the Netherworld Office escape, so they began a pursuit on one side and an escape on the other.
Ming Si and Ming Lu had quite the camaraderie; seeing ’Ming Feng’ injured and falling behind, they cast Primordial Techniques and Primordial Artifacts to assist ’Ming Feng’ in fleeing.
In a frontal battle, Ji Wujiang could still put up a great fight with Ming Si, relying on his own experience and the golden blade in hand, but in terms of tunneling speed...
The foundation of the Black and White Divine Palace was not to be underestimated; the escape technique used by Ming Si and Ming Lu was simply not something Ji Wujiang and his companions could match.
Before long, Ji Wujiang and his companions were left behind by the three from the Netherworld Office, and moments later, they completely lost their tracking sense.
And this also meant that the third Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp was ultimately taken away by someone.
...
Chi’an County.
Ji Wujiang and his two companions hovered above the Divine Mystery Bureau Black Tower, their expressions heavy.
The National Treasure being taken by three people of unknown identity was undoubtedly a humiliation and a blow to the three National Guardian Realms.
And with the loss of the Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp, the Tier Six Evil beneath the Black Tower was already showing signs of waking.
Once awakened, none of the three would be able to handle it.
"Senior Brother Ji," Chang Qin Jiumin looked at Ji Wujiang, "Even though those three have retreated, the evil under the Black Tower is about to awaken..."
He hesitated to speak.
"Senior Brother Ji, Eldest Brother," Chang Qin Nianqi changed into clothes that could conceal her figure, but her face still showed the weakness after the battle, "The evils in Xirong County and Pingzhong County..."
She wanted to ask, what about the evils in the other two counties.
"The evils in Xirong County and Pingzhong County have already been eradicated."
Ji Wujiang’s eyes flickered slightly.
"Eradicated? By whom?" Chang Qin Jiumin and Chang Qin Nianqi looked on in surprise and doubt.
"..." Ji Wujiang gazed at the sky, not answering.
"Senior Brother Ji?" Chang Qin Jiumin was a bit anxious.
Yet Ji Wujiang remained silent.
He didn’t know how many years it had been since he was so uncertain about something.
Should he tell the two about Chu Ming, or not?
In his view, the two were trustworthy and could be informed.
But based on Chu Ming’s words and actions, he felt his disciple had concerns and was unwilling to reveal his identity.
The Tier Six evils in Xirong County and Pingzhong County could be attributed falsely to high-tier Primordial Qi Warriors from other nations, or simply say that the prior three eradicated them.
But with things developing to this point, how should the Tier Six Evil in Chi’an County be handled?
The Cyan Stone Ancient Lamp for suppression was taken; currently, only Chu Ming could deal with this evil.
However, Chu Ming had consumed a lot to eradicate the previous two evils and had not yet replied...
Hmm?
In the midst of deep thought, Ji Wujiang’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he flipped his hand to take out the communication device, heart spirit sensing:
"Master Ancestor, don’t worry about the evil in Chi’an County, I will deal with it within two days."
The reply came, Chu Ming finally replied.
With just a short sentence, Ji Wujiang was joyous as if he had seen a precious treasure.
In his joy, he also felt a bit ashamed.
More than two months ago, he clearly remembered that Chu Ming was just a boy hiding his identity for various reasons.
At that time, the boy was still excited about the Bone Marrow Cleansing Realm cultivation technique and third-class, fourth-class Xuan Treasures.
More than two months have passed, the boy is still a boy, but he can already eradicate Tier Six evils that even he couldn’t handle.
The times have changed?
But this time seems too short...
"Senior Brother?" Amid their joy, Chang Qin Jiumin and Chang Qin Nianqi appeared even more anxious.
"Don’t worry about the Tier Six Evil below, I have my ways to deal with it."
"How does Senior Brother plan to deal with it?" Chang Qin Jiumin instantly rejoiced, "What do Eleventh Sister and I need to do?"
"You don’t need to do anything, just wait." Ji Wujiang, stabilized at heart by Chu Ming’s words, smiled mysteriously and said, "It will be eradicated within two days."
Ji Wujiang’s words were like a reassuring needle for Chang Qin Jiumin and Chang Qin Nianqi.
Upon hearing these words, they gradually shifted from anxiety to calmness.
"Senior Brother, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you." Chang Qin Jiumin said.
"What?"
"Is Chu Ming really just a Literary Scholar?" Chang Qin Jiumin’s eyes flickered, his words carrying implied meaning.
Ji Wujiang, extremely familiar with Chang Qin Jiumin, saw through it at a glance.
"Junior Brother did an investigation."
This statement was not a question but more like a statement.
Chang Qin Jiumin nodded.
"Previously, I always thought that Chu Ming had a mysterious master protecting him, but lately I feel that the so-called mysterious master seems more like Chu Ming himself."
"Senior Brother, am I right?"
Ji Wujiang looked at Chang Qin Jiumin and Chang Qin Nianqi, not responding.
Seeing this, Chang Qin Jiumin suddenly asked seriously: "Senior Brother, what realm has Chu Ming reached now?"
These words nearly revealed everything.
Ji Wujiang still didn’t answer directly, instead he asked back: "Besides you and Junior Sister Nianqi, does anyone else know?"
Chang Qin Jiumin shook his head: "I investigated personally."
