As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

After Gongye Jiu said that, his gaze landed on Jiang Ming.

Jiang Ming felt a chill run up his spine from being stared at. However, he still nodded after thinking about it carefully.

"Alright, I promise you."

He was confident that he would have the chance to avenge Gongye Jiu. At most, he would have to wait for several centuries. He did not believe that Gongye Jiu's enemy could live that long.

Gongye Jiu did not know what Jiang Ming was thinking. When he saw that the latter had agreed, he immediately requested for Jiang Ming to swear a Heavenly Cultivation Oath. Jiang Ming did not waste any time and immediately did so. This was something that Gongye Jiu had never expected.

Very soon, Jiang Ming and the rest entered Gongye Jiu's residence. Gongye Zhang's expression changed drastically when he received the news.

"Master Gongye, what's wrong?"

Mo Rong frowned as he looked at Gongye Zhang. He vaguely realized that something was wrong and immediately asked.

Gongye Zhang did not say anything immediately. However, Gu Chi said impatiently, "Since Ning Caichen and the rest are staying in your family's territory, let your people distract Ning Caichen. We will kill them now…"

"No!" Gongye Zhang shouted, causing Gu Chi and Mo Rong to be startled.

"Master Gongye, are you going back on your word?"

Mo Rong's expression was gloomy. They were originally discussing it well. However, he suddenly wanted to go back on his word?

Gongye Zhang took a deep breath and laughed bitterly, "You might not know, but Master Jiu is not an ordinary person. He is that person's son."

That person?

Everyone was stunned. Suddenly, they thought of something and said in disbelief, "That person not from the family who took on the surname of Gongye? Was it the Heavenly Saint from the recent era?"

For a moment, Gu Chi and Mo Rong's expressions froze. They were trembling.

Gongye Zhang nodded and then sighed. "That person's identity is too special. Even our family's ancestor has to respect him because no one knows when his father will return. If we offend him, we will be slaughtered like pigs. We will definitely not be able to stop him!"

Gu Chi's and Mo Rong's expressions instantly turned ugly.

However, after Gongye Zhang thought for a moment, he immediately waved his hand.

"However, I can go and negotiate with Master Jiu. Perhaps I can get him to hand over Ning Caichen and the others."

Gongye Zhang quickly came to the door. When he saw the indifferent faces of Ning Caichen and the others, he was instantly furious.

"You guys are really smart. You actually found Master Jiu to protect you!"

Alas, they did not care. Gongye Zhang was furious for a few seconds.

In the end, Gongye Zhang could not be bothered to waste his breath on them and went straight to Gongye Jiu.

"Master Jiu! I'm here to see you."

Gongye Zhang revealed a respectful expression when facing this person who was about the same age. In terms of seniority, Gongye Jiu was clearly a level higher than Gongye Zhang.

Gongye Jiu could not be bothered to waste his breath and said directly, "I know why you're here. You want me to hand those guys outside over to you, right?"

"That's right, Master Jiu. They are wanted by the Network, the Ancient Kingdom Blessed Land, and the Immortal Feather Grotto-Heaven. Not to mention the several other factions they've offended as well. If we let them stay here, we will be making enemies with these families. It will be extremely disadvantageous to our family… In addition, Rao Wuqing has a supreme treasure in his hands. Our family must retrieve it or it will be a huge loss!"

Gongye Zhang looked as if he was very considerate of the Gongye family. If it were anyone else, they would have been convinced. However, although Gongye Jiu was a mortal, he was a shrewd person.

"You still haven't told me what that thing is. Why do you not trust me?"

Gongye Zhang was taken aback and realized that he had said something wrong.

However, he did not want to tell Gongye Jiu.

It seemed that the entire Gongye family treated Gongye Jiu extremely well and treated him as their ancestor. However, there were some things that they did not want Gongye Jiu to participate in.

After all, this was the son of someone with a different surname!

If not for the fact that they wanted to rely on their father to protect the Gongye family, they would have long chased Gongye Jiu out.

Gongye Jiu spoke again, "It's the general's order, right?"

Gongye Zhang was speechless.

Gongye Jiu smiled faintly. "Do you think you can deceive me? I may not be able to cultivate. However, when it comes to the path of divination, you will not be able to catch up to me even in a thousand years!"

Gongye Zhang clenched his fists tightly. How humiliating! As a direct descendant of the Gongye family, his attainments in the family's inherited ultimate arts were inferior to an outsider's descendant!

However, he had to admit that this was the truth!

Gongye Jiu did not only rely on the protection of his father's shade. However, he also relied on his powerful attainments in divination. He could be considered the teacher of divination for the younger generation of the Gongye family.

Moreover, he was considered the grand-disciple of Gongye Jiu's father. Even his father had to be polite to Gongye Jiu…

Gongye Zhang gritted his teeth in hatred. However, he still put on an apologetic expression and said, "Master Jiu, it was the General's Token. As long as we get it back, we can open the General's Tomb. At that time, the strength of the entire family will definitely rise by a few levels…"

"Haha, you're simply bullshitting!" Gongye Jiu snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "If I had not pointed it out, you would not have told me about the General's Token and the General's Tomb. You would not have even told anyone in the Gongye family. What you want is to continuously become stronger so that you can prepare to take control of the Gongye family in the future… Am I right or wrong?"

Gongye Zhang was completely speechless.

He wished he could kill Gongye Jiu immediately. However, although Gongye Jiu's residence looked ordinary, there were actually countless experts here. They were all people that Gongye Jiu had groomed himself.

This was also Gongye Jiu's power!

He was unable to cultivate himself. However, he had more than a dozen Nascent Soul Realm experts under him. He even had more than a hundred Golden Core Realm cultivators working for him. In addition, he had an army of thousands of Foundation Establishment Realm guards. In a sense, if Gongye Jiu wanted to, the entire Gongye family would respect him.

This was also Gongye Zhang's goal of deceiving everyone. He wanted to use the inheritance and treasures hidden in the General's Tomb to continuously grow stronger and strengthen his faction. He wanted to make ample preparations to overthrow Gongye Jiu in the future.

However, he never expected that he would not be able to deceive Gongye Jiu even after using countless methods… It could be said that all his efforts had been in vain!
