Chapter 1935: Quickly send someone to protect him

Earlier he had forgotten about the Mi Jing affair, but upon hearing the Netherworld Palace Master's words, Wu Zhong only then remembered this.

But Luo Jiuyou was someone Ye Zhangqing had specially entrusted to him; it shows that in his Shī xiōng's heart, Luo Jiuyou carries great weight.

As the loyal lackey of the Shī xiōng, how could there be any oversight in the matters entrusted by the Shī xiōng?

So, Wu Zhong spoke with some displeasure; seeing Wu Zhong unhappy, the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor and Palace Master were both taken aback.

How did it suddenly become like this? He's merely a Xia Jie cultivator, and wasn't it always like this before?

Although they couldn't figure it out, faced with the frowning Wu Zhong, the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor and Palace Master hurriedly lowered their heads and spoke.

Young Master Wu, what do you mean by these words? We........

They didn't know Wu Zhong's thoughts, but the Guo Family Second Ancestor standing nearby understood perfectly.

While taking pleasure in others' misfortune, they also secretly felt relieved, glad that Old Three had steadied things earlier, preventing Xu Jie and the others from entering that Mi Jing.

If even Luo Jiuyou is like that, there's no need to mention Xu Jie and the others.

The Guo Family Second Ancestor knew well that Xu Jie and the others were Ye Zhangqing's own sworn brothers, belonging to the same lineage and origin.

If letting them enter the Mi Jing led to some danger, the Guo Family Second Ancestor dare not even imagine the consequences.

That wouldn't be as simple as breaking ties; by then the Guo family would likely have to prepare to face Ye Zhangqing's wrath.

At this moment, the Guo Family Second Ancestor's heart was full of relief, while the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor and Palace Master felt uneasy.

Faced with their questioning, Wu Zhong spoke with a blank expression.

"Luo Jiuyou is Ye Zhangqing's Shī xiōng's closest friend; you actually let him enter the Mi Jing—if anything happens to him, your Netherworld Palace had better prepare to die with him."

「This.................... 」

As soon as these words were spoken, the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor broke out in a cold sweat.

If someone else had said this, whether he could leave the Netherworld Palace today would be debatable, but the speaker is Wu Zhong, the Young Master of the Wu family.

That left the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor with no doubt at all, and not the slightest trace of anger.

Who would have thought that an ordinary Xia Jie cultivator would actually draw out the Wu family Young Master, such a great deity?

And who is this Ye Shī xiōng he mentions, and what relation does he have to Luo Jiuyou?

Seeing the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor and the other party stunned in place, Wu Zhong couldn't be bothered with pleasantries and spoke bluntly.

"I don't care what methods you use—that person must stay alive and thrive; the next time I come to the Netherworld Palace, I want to see him."

Having said that, he gave the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor and the other no chance to reply, turning and leaving directly.

Watching Wu Zhong turn and leave, the Guo Family Second Ancestor also hurriedly followed.

This time the Netherworld Palace has suffered an undeserved disaster, after all who could have imagined that a mere Xia Jie cultivator could have any connection with the Wu family Young Master?

Moreover, the Wu family Young Master values him so highly, or perhaps it is Ye Zhangqing behind Wu Zhong.

Regardless of the reason, things have come to this; Wu Zhong has given the Netherworld Palace no other choice, so the Old Ancestor and the other must do everything possible to preserve Luo Jiuyou's life.

Otherwise, when Wu Zhong makes trouble, their Netherworld Palace will hardly be able to withstand it.

Even if they barely manage to withstand it, the losses will be absolutely severe, and the price paid unimaginable.

Full of doubts, the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor and the other personally escorted Wu Zhong and the Guo Family Second Ancestor onto the spiritual boat.

Watching the spiritual boat rise into the sky until it vanished from sight, only then did the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor and the other return to the main hall.

After a moment of solemn silence, the Netherworld Palace Old Ancestor suddenly turned and ordered the Palace Master.

"Let all Inner Disciples enter the Mi Jing right now; no matter what methods they use, they must safely bring that Luo Jiuyou out for me."

"As soon as they come out, inform me immediately; I want to see him in person."

"All Inner Disciples?"

Sending disciples into the Mi Jing to protect Luo Jiuyou—this idea also occurred to the Netherworld Palace Master.

After all, this is currently the best option, and besides, hasn't the Guo family also sent their Guo Jia Zi Di into it?

If the Guo Jia Zi Di can enter, then the Netherworld Palace disciples can naturally do so as well.

As for the eventual casualties, that would still be far better than the Netherworld Palace suffering total annihilation.

So there's no problem with this; what the Netherworld Palace Master didn't expect was that the Old Ancestor would actually let all the Inner Disciples go.

Inner Disciples, each one is a genius cultivated with the Sect's full effort.

In the future they will be the pillars of the Netherworld Palace; as long as they don't fall midway, they can later inherit an Elder position.

Among the many Elders in the palace, aren't they all like that? In their youth they all came from Inner Disciples.

"Yes, all of them."

However, faced with the Netherworld Palace Master's shock, the Old Ancestor spoke without the slightest hesitation.

"Old Ancestor, wouldn't that be too many? The disciples' meaning is to send a few Inner Disciples as leaders, then combine with Inner Door Disciples, and it should........"

The Netherworld Palace Master voiced his opinion, but the Old Ancestor didn't let him finish, directly cutting him off.

"Should? You think 'should' is enough? If something goes wrong later, you'll have to explain it yourself to the Wu family Young Master."

"This.................."

"I don't want 'should'; I want certainty—I must definitely bring Luo Jiuyou out alive for me."

Having said that, he gave the Netherworld Palace Master no chance to rebuttal, and the Old Ancestor sealed the decision with a single strike.

On the Netherworld Palace's side, they were busy rescuing Luo Jiuyou, not daring to delay even a moment.

Meanwhile, the Guo Family Second Ancestor and Wu Zhong rode the spiritual boat, continuing onward to the next power to demand the Formation Disk.

Along the way, Wu Zhong spoke to the Guo Family Second Ancestor.

"I heard your Guo family had already let your own descendants enter that Mi Jing?"

Upon hearing this, the Guo Family Second Ancestor's heart stirred; in fact, Wu Zhong didn't need to spell it out—he had already guessed what the other wanted to say.

As expected, seeing him nod, Wu Zhong immediately continued.

Have your Guo family members spare no effort to search for Luo Jiuyou's whereabouts; once found, protect him and bring him out of the Mi Jing.

All losses will be borne by my Wu family.

Wu Zhong naturally could not possibly place all his hopes on the Netherworld Palace; hearing this, the Guo family's Second Ancestor showed no hesitation, immediately nodding heavily and said.

Please rest assured, Young Master Wu; I will contact those lads right away. As long as Luo Jiuyou is still alive, my Guo family disciples will, even at the cost of their lives, definitely bring him out safely.

Hmm.

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhong nodded lightly.

The Guo family's Second Ancestor naturally would not take this lightly; moreover, rescuing Luo Jiuyou will definitely impact the contest over the Mi Jing.

But didn't Wu Zhong also say that all losses would be borne by their Wu family?

Given the Wu family's status and size in the Immortal Realm, even a casual leak of a finger's gap would be enough for the Guo family to strike it rich.

What's more, this is also an excellent opportunity to cling tightly to the Wu family's thigh; given the Guo family's Second Ancestor's character, how could he possibly miss it?

Sigh, for the sake of the family's development, this old ancestor has really exhausted himself; it's all because the younger generations are unfilial, failing to produce even a top-tier Yāoniè, forcing these old men to work hard.
