Chapter 370 -218: Youbai Needs to Be Bolder, Prevent Him from Reaching Central State!_3
“My Wu Family may have a Sage in the Elder ranks, but…”
“Now the most the family can do is to aid me with another Ninth Grade of the Annihilation Realm.”
“When I last went to the Northern Domain, an Elder already lost an arm, and the Ancestors of the family have decided not to interfere anymore…”
“To be honest, Senior Brother Jiang’s proposal tempts me greatly, but I truly am powerless…”
Wu Jiang’s face showed bitterness as he spoke with great helplessness.
“It’s simple, for the Sage Realm, I will take care of it myself.”
“But Junior Brother, I’m afraid you’ll have to make the trip personally.”
“That youngster’s identity is currently quite special, he’s called a Saint Heir but after all, he has yet to be initiated into the Mountain Gate, yet he has already been promised the position of a Saint Heir.”
“If someone else kills him, the Sword Sect may get angry and hold them accountable.”
“If you, as a fellow Saint Heir, fight and slay him…”
“Even the Sword Sect won’t be able to find fault with that.”
“Moreover, the Sect will protect you, and I will speak for you as well.”
Saint Jiang Li calmed himself and then smiled slightly as he spoke.
Hearing this, Wu Jiang was stunned.
Good grief…
No wonder he was summoned today, this was asking him to risk his life!?
As a mere Saint of the Ninth Peak, if he were to slay a talented Saint Heir with an Extreme Dao Body of the Sword Sect, one could imagine the fury he would face from the Sword Sect.
Even if the Sword Sect’s Great Powers couldn’t lay hands on him due to the rules, they would definitely have those Saint Heirs challenge him…
As for the Sect protecting him?
If this were the past, he might have believed that.
But now…
Last time, to woo that youngster, the Sect was willing to use him as a bargaining chip to be given away.
How could he believe that the Sect would protect him?
“Junior Brother Wu, think carefully.”
“If you cannot eliminate him, do you know what your future will hold?”
“I have checked; you and he have more than just petty grievances, it’s a true life-and-death vendetta!”
“His parents, they died by your hand, didn’t they?”
“As soon as he arrives in the Central State, how could there be any reason for him not to take your life?”
Seeing him silent, Saint Jiang Li continued with a light smile.
“Senior Brother has done quite thorough research…”
Wu Jiang gave a bitter smile, not expecting that Senior Brother Jiang could have dug up that past incident.
“So, Junior Brother, you only have one gamble.”
“Bet that the Sect will protect you, at worst you can have your Wu Family pay some price to quell the Sword Sect’s anger.”
“After all, you can still save your life.”
“If you let it go on like this, once he comes to Central State, you won’t have a chance anymore.”
Saint Jiang Li continued to tempt.
But what he said was all too true.
Every word hit Wu Jiang Saint like a heavy blow to the heart.
It made him frown and left him unable to reach a decision.
This matter, if done, could very likely cost him his life!
But if not done…
It would certainly cost him his life!
In the end, he could only look grim and let out a long breath, “It’s all up to Senior Brother Jiang’s instructions, I am willing to alleviate Senior Brother Jiang’s worries!”
“Ah, that’s not quite right.”
“I am merely concerned that Junior Brother might be retaliated against in the future, that’s why I offer my help.”
“How is it helping me with my worries?”
Seeing him agree, Saint Jiang Li smiled in satisfaction, but he waved his hand, refusing to carry that burden.
“Yes!”
“Thank you, Senior Brother Jiang, for being willing to rescue me from death.”
“If one day the Sect… the Sect decides to surrender me, I hope Senior Brother Jiang could say a few words for me.”
Wu Jiang had all sorts of reluctance in his heart but could only follow along with his words.
“Of course.”
“Junior Brother, prepare yourself for the next few days, I will arrange for someone to go to the Northern Domain with you.”
“At that time, you need not worry about the Sage Realm.”
“Instead, Junior Brother, you must not be careless and underestimate your opponent and end up dying by that youngster’s hands.”
“After all, with an Extreme Dao Body, his strength is surely much beyond that of an ordinary cultivator.”
Saint Jiang gave a slight nod as if to agree to his request, but as to whether he would really plead for him in the future, that remained to be seen.
“Hehe…”
“Senior Brother, rest assured, although my strength is nowhere near as powerful as yours.”
“But that youngster, at best, is only in the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, what’s an Extreme Dao Body, can it really hold up against Infinite Realm Perfection?”
Wu Jiang was somewhat confident in his own strength.
No matter what, he was still a Saint Heir, even if of the Ninth Peak, he was still a Saint Heir!
He was one of the truly outstanding geniuses among the tens of millions in Central State!
“Junior Brother still doesn’t quite understand what I mean…”
“Can’t your Wu Family assist you with another character at the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm?”
“With a Ninth Grade at your back, wouldn’t it be more secure?” Saint Jiang Li noticed his misunderstanding and couldn’t help but give him a hint.
Suddenly, Wu Jiang’s eyes lit up.
“Understood!”
“Does Senior Brother have any other instructions?”
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now to make preparations in advance.”
“And to also contact my family about this.”
Following what Saint Jiang Li suggested, he could actually have a Ninth Grade Elder from his family help, as long as he didn’t reveal himself.
Although he was outwardly confident, to be honest, he wasn’t completely sure about facing an Extreme Dao Body; that youngster had previously managed to escape from a Ninth Grade’s grasp, which was quite bizarre.
But with a Ninth Grade present, only needing to tie up the opponent’s strong partners.
He would undoubtedly be doomed!
Last time was only because they didn’t have enough time, which allowed him to escape, and it was impossible for him to truly have the strength to face a Ninth Grade!
“After a few days, I will inform Junior Brother,” Saint Jiang Li said, gesturing for him to leave with a wave of his hand.
After he left, Sage Li, who had been silent all along, couldn’t help but sigh and said, “Saint Heir, do you truly wish to go to such lengths for a woman?”
“If I cannot be united with Miss Ming Yue as a Daoist Couple, my heart will not be at peace, and I might even be unstable when I face Tribulation above the Ninth Grade in the future.”
Saint Jiang Li looked at him deeply and said very seriously.
“Sigh…” At this, the Elder could only sigh deeply and say no more.
He only hoped that he would not bring disaster upon himself.
In his heart, he muttered to himself, “Young people are indeed too impulsive, making an enemy of a genius with an Extreme Dao Body over a woman, fortunately… that fellow has not yet grown up, and if he is snuffed out in the cradle, it would actually be a good thing for the Immortal Ascension Sect.”
This was also why he didn’t stop him too much.
Immortal Ascension sect failing to recruit such a genius and letting him go to the Sword Sect has caused the Immortal Ascension Sect’s elders great discomfort.
If they could snuff him out in the cradle, it would not be a bad thing for the Immortal Ascension Sect, and as for how to appease the Sword Sect’s wrath…
At worst, they could just give up that Ninth Saint Heir, along with a trivial compensation, which wouldn’t matter much!
