Chapter 602: Task
As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills
Sharp sword Qi kept shooting toward them. Zhu An'an wanted to block it but was stopped by Jiang Ming.
"That is an undead creature at the peak of the Deity Transformation Realm. He is strong and has a high cultivation level, but he doesn't get fatigued."
Jiang Ming's words rendered Zhu An'an speechless.
"Then what should we do next?" Zhu An'an pouted and asked. Jiang Ming had always doted on her, and now it was time for her to repay him.
Jiang Ming's gaze fell on An Daoran again.
"Mr. An, you've been trapped here for nearly a year. You haven't come out for a long time because you're looking for a way to break through, right? I believe that with your level of intelligence, you won't be unable to find any loopholes, so I'll advise you to honestly tell me the truth. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold this girl back."
"Ning Caichen, do you only know how to hide behind women?"
An Daoran gritted his teeth as the flames of jealousy in his heart burned non-stop. What was going on with this man? Why was he so lucky to have such a powerful woman protecting him?
An Daoran originally wanted to make up a few more lies to fool Jiang Ming, but when he thought of Zhu An'an, An Daoran could only give up and sigh.
"Forget it, I'll tell you the truth. If we want to deal with this guy, we can't rely on force. Otherwise, a Deity Transformation Realm cultivator can easily kill us. So, we have to take a detour. As long as someone can attract this guy's attention and arrange for others to steal it, we will definitely be able to steal the Dragon Burial Sword."
After An Daoran finished speaking in one breath, Jiang Ming immediately corrected him, "Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's not stealing. This is called being virtuous."
How f*cking shameless!
An Daoran cursed in his heart, but a simple and honest smile appeared on his face.
"Ning Caichen, you're right. This Dragon Burial Sword has been here for so many years. It's time for it to appear. Otherwise, it's a waste of a heavenly treasure!"
He followed Jiang Ming's words and wanted to fool Ning Caichen. Anyway, this was not a lie.
Little did he know that Jiang Ming was also an old fox. He immediately saw through his little plan and said with a laugh, "Then I'll have to trouble you to attract the firepower."
An Daoran's body stiffened as he gritted his teeth and said, "Ning Caichen, I've been here for so long. It should be better for me to go get the Dragon Burial Sword."
"No, no, no!" Jiang Ming shook his head. "Attracting firepower may seem dangerous, but getting the Dragon Burial Sword will bring us closer to the enemy. This is the most dangerous mission. Although I'm not talented, I am also a person with morals. Naturally, I don't want to see my friends risk their lives for me. Mr. An, on the other hand, you've already left your peak state, and you're lacking in both spirit and energy. You can only take care of the simple stuff, so I think you should go and attract the firepower."
Then, Jiang Ming pushed Zhu An'an out.
"Don't worry, I'll let An'an follow you. I won't let you get hurt."
"You…"
An Daoran really wanted to curse, but when he met Zhu An'an's murderous gaze, he immediately held his tongue. After a while, he smiled honestly.
"Alright, since you're so fearless, I won't say anything more. I wish you success, and I hope that you will obtain the Dragon Burial Sword!"
Jiang Ming laughed, then narrowed his eyes and asked the last question.
"If you bring out the Dragon Burial Sword, what kind of cooperation agreement can you reach with the Zhan Family and the Warring States?"
"They can't just sit back and watch Long Qie be revived. You have to know that it's not Long Qie that's coming back, it's just a split soul of Long Qie. The purpose of this undead creature's existence is to suppress Long Qie's resurrection. The Dragon Burial Sword is the key. As long as we pull out the Dragon Burial Sword, the undead creature will not be able to suppress the possibility of Long Qie being resurrected. Once the Zhan family learns of this news, they will definitely be terrified. The person who doesn't want General Long Qie to be resurrected the most is the Qing emperor. The Zhan family are close seconds. The Zhan family's ancestor, Zhan Lingfeng, has already gone to the Upper Realm. Although the current Qing Emperor is not on good terms with the Zhan family, they have been secretly working together. Their goal is to stop General Long Qie's resurrection. They know very well that once he is resurrected, they will be doomed!" An Daoran took a deep breath. "General Longqie was at the half-step Cultivation Integration Realm when he was alive. Once he is resurrected into a ghost cultivator and condensed into a dark spirit evil body, becoming a Dark God, the Qing royal family and the royal family of the Warring States will be destroyed!"
Jiang Ming nodded. General Long Qie had always been the nightmare of the two royal families and even involved other forces. Some people were fearsome even in their deaths.
Long Qie was obviously such a person. He had been dead for thousands of years, but the pressure he brought on others was unfathomable, let alone the two royal families.
An Daoran suddenly looked up and frowned.
"Ning Caichen, there is no time to lose. Since you have already assigned the tasks, let's start. I don't know why, but this undead creature is different from the extremely passive state it was in before. It seems to be restless and is using all kinds of techniques to find us."
"Isn't this guy an undead creature? Does he have other techniques?"
Jiang Ming was stunned. He thought that the undead creature relied on a sword to continuously slash out sword Qi. Was he more terrifying than they had thought?
"Of course. There are still many secrets this thing is hiding. What you and I have seen so far is not even the tip of the iceberg."
The corners of An Daoran's mouth twitched a few times. "This fellow was also at the peak of the Deity Transformation Realm when he was alive. He was inexplicably captured and refined into an undead guard… In the vast world of immortal cultivation, even a Deity Transformation Realm cultivator could be killed so easily."
Jiang Ming nodded in agreement.
Before becoming a top-notch expert, if one wanted to survive in this world, one had to be extremely lucky and cultivate to the highest realm possible.
If that was not possible, one had to come from a Saint background.
One had to know that Deity Transformation Realm cultivators were not weak. They were the top existences in the Feather Kingdom. In the past, before Mo Lingche was born, there was not a single cultivator in the Feather Kingdom who had reached the Deity Transformation Realm.
Even in the vast world of immortal cultivation, a Deity Transformation Realm cultivator was not considered a top expert. He was still at the level of a sect master and even had the chance to become a Saint.
Moreover, he was at the peak of the Deity Transformation Realm. He was not an ordinary Deity Transformation Realm cultivator. It was a tragedy for him to have been refined into an undead guard.
