As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills

973 Chapter 973

“It was all our fault, Your Majesty. We were stupid, but you can’t just leave us be.”

A thin old lady knelt down, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

“Yes, we were really wrong, Your Majesty.”

“You must lead us.”

With one person leading the way, the others followed suit.

Sikong Wuyuan secretly noticed that the old woman was pinching someone’s thigh and could not help but feel that it was ironic.

What an act!

Anger surged up, and he was extremely frustrated.

“Don’t save them! You don’t want to die.”

Jiang Ming turned to Sikong Wuyuan and glanced at the old lady’s leg. He could not help but smile.

He spoke his mind.

“You’re not a commander. What right do you have to say that to us? Go back to where you belong!”

The old lady rolled her eyes and aggressively charged at Sikong Wuyuan.

“Hey, you old hag, don’t you know how good my relationship with the king is?”

Sikong Wuyuan rolled his eyes.

If not for the old lady’s age, he might have given her a slap.

“You unruly citizen, hurry up and leave the Xiaguo Kingdom. This is not a place for you to stay!”

Another old woman cursed and spat in front of Sikong Wuyuan.

“You want to die, don’t you?”

Sikong Wuyuan stared.

The others wanted to help the old lady say something, but they were stopped by Jiang Ming’s voice.

“His will is my will!”

Jiang Ming’s expression was indifferent.

“Your Majesty, are you okay? We are your people.”

“If there were no citizens, wouldn’t the entire country be an empty shell?”

“That’s right. You have to think twice. We’ve contributed a lot to the Xiaguo Kingdom. You can’t be so heartless!”

***

The people panicked and began to blame Jiang Ming.

“What?” Some people were even angry. They pointed at Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan. “Your Majesty, I think you’ve been bewitched by this idiot.”

“This kind of behavior brings disaster to the country! He is not worth it at all!”

“Please, Your Majesty, get rid of the scourge!”

With another stir, the commoners knelt down one after another, their eyes filled with tears.

Sikong Wuyuan narrowed his eyes.

He would bring disaster to the country and the world?

Idiot?

Scourge?

Did these commoners really think that he would not kill them?

“Let’s go.” Jiang Ming patted Sikong Wuyuan’s shoulder.

With that, he lifted his feet and walked away, completely ignoring the other people.

Sikong Wuyuan came back to his senses.

There was no need for him to compete with these people. These people were already going to die.

He lifted his feet and walked arrogantly.

Now, he had to leave like this and ignore these people’s nonsense.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They raised their hands, wanting to grab Sikong Wuyuan or Jiang Ming, but they were shaken off by them.

“I hope we never meet again.”

Sikong Wuyuan made a face and followed Jiang Ming out of the valley.

In the next second, the flames in the valley were fierce and turned it into ashes.

“What’s going on?”

Jiang Ming was dumbfounded. He really did not expect it.

Sikong Wuyuan scratched his head and was also confused.

This valley seemed to be cursed.

“Let’s go. This has nothing to do with us.”

They did not know, so they did not think too much about it and continued walking.

However, they did not enter the palace. Instead, they entered a forest.

The forest was dense, and there were only a few small paths.

Sikong Wuyuan felt that something was wrong as he walked, so he stopped and sat down.

“We didn’t see this place when we came here?”

“We actually got lost. This is too bizarre.”

Jiang Ming also sat down and looked up. There was no sunlight shining down at all.

“I feel that someone is causing trouble.”

Sikong Wuyuan analyzed Jiang Ming’s actions.

“Let’s walk again. If we still come to this place, then we’re not really in this place.”

Jiang Ming stood up and said in a deep voice.

If there was really someone behind the scenes, then the flames in the valley were probably caused by the other party.

“That’s the only explanation. Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense.”

Sikong Wuyuan also stood up, but he tripped over something and fell to the ground.

Looking down, he saw that his foot was wrapped by a snake.

The snake was green and was biting Sikong Wuyuan’s ankle.

“This snake is quite bold.”

He was not afraid. Instead, he grabbed the snake in his hand.

“Don’t touch it.”

Jiang Ming quickly stepped forward and interrupted him.

Sikong Wuyuan paused, his eyes filled with confusion.

“This snake is easily frightened. It bit your ankle. The snake’s body is poisonous.”

When the snake was not paying attention, Jiang Ming grabbed the snake and threw it out.

This time, a beauty appeared.

The beauty waved her fan and jumped around with her feet, looking very lively.

In this day and age, even snake spirits appeared.

Jiang Ming waited.

Perhaps, she would know a way out.

“That’s great. I’ve finally met my colleague.”

The beauty gave him a friendly look.

Sikong Wuyuan heard her.

“Huh?”

The beauty did not understand. She touched her nose and said, “It seems that you don’t know that you’re trapped here.”

Sikong Wuyuan coughed and stuttered, “This… How should I put it…”

He felt a little embarrassed and did not know what to say.

“How many days have you been locked up here?” Jiang Ming changed the topic. “Who locked you up here?”

“How many days?” The beauty was shocked once again. Her face turned bitter. “A few thousand years is about right. I don’t know who that person is either, but I know that there’s an ancient legend here. If anyone treats the people of the valley badly, they will be locked up here. I offended the people in the valley, so I was imprisoned here.”

By the end, she was sobbing.

“What legend? I think it’s all nonsense. It’s nothing at all!”

Sikong Wuyuan did not believe it, and his body emitted an endless stream of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy rushed into the distance, but it bounced back and landed on his body.

He was stunned for a moment and could not help but look at his hand.

That was the place where spiritual energy gathered.

“Don’t waste your time. It’s impossible for us to get out. I’ve tried all the methods you’ve tried.”

The beauty was sorrowful.

“We can’t just sit and wait for death.”

Jiang Ming did not listen to him and signaled Sikong Wuyuan to gather his strength with him.

Sikong Wuyuan nodded, his eyes firm as he continued to gather his spiritual energy.

Jiang Ming did the same thing.

The two forces converged and directly punched a hole in the sky above the forest.

The hole gradually expanded, giving the three of them a bright light.

“Oh my goodness!”

The beauty was overjoyed and danced with joy.
