Great!
Hearing this, Jiang Yiming didn’t have the heart to refuse. After all, the current situation was quite hostile towards him, and he needed more people to help him complete the task this time around. Although the old man had been very arrogant just now, he was now quite afraid.
Especially now that he had displayed his strength, the old man’s attitude could be said to be much better. He had basically used his strength to gain some respect for himself among the sects. Thinking of this, Jiang Yiming had some complicated emotions in his heart. After all, his sect had indeed been provoked by the old man. However, in the face of the common interests of both parties, he decided to put aside the grudges between them for now and study the trouble that they would have to face together.
Jiang Yiming welcomed the old man to his sect’s main hall and said, “You should have already confirmed the date of the demonic king’s awakening, right?”
Li Wushuang said, “Not really. Indeed, many in our sect have confirmed the news, but as the ones who have to make the decision, we must be responsible to everyone in our sect! As such, we don’t have any definite proof that the demonic king will revive on the day we expected.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yiming scratched his head with some curiosity, “You mean that there might be some differences between the actual day the demonic king revives and the day as deduced by your sect?”
“That’s right,” Li Wushuang said and his eyes fell on Jiang Yiming, “Since you are so confident, you must have solved the mystery of the map fragment!”
Jiang Yiming nodded and said, “Since things have already come to this, I won’t hide it from you anymore. That’s right, I have already deciphered the secrets of the map fragment and we have already confirmed the time and location of the demonic king’s imminent revival. Since this is the case, we can set off together. You can go ahead and search for what you’re after, while I can greatly increase the strength of my sect!”
After saying this, the two of them almost hit it off. After all, they both had the things that each other needed!
The map could be said to be out of print on the continent. Jiang Yiming should be the only one who had the map fragment. Since he had it, it was a given that he had unlimited choices. Whatever he wanted to do, this old man must agree.
At this point, Li Wushuang took out the other long map in his hand. When he saw the atlas, Jiang Yiming’s eyes instantly lit up!
Good Lord, this old man had such a treasure!
“If I had not taken out the map fragment in my hands, you would have wasted quite some time with me on negotiations, right?! My words should be true, right?!” Jiang Yiming said with a smile, and an awkward smile appeared on Li Wushuang’s face.
He nodded and said, “Yes, after all, I have said it just now. Our sect has been studying this matter for a long time. Now that it has come to this, we will certainly not give up any opportunities. We must seize all possible opportunities to obtain the cultivation technique that should be ours.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yiming shook his head and said, “Why are you saying that it definitely belongs to you? If it’s really good, I can tell you now that I’m heading there to the demonic king’s secret realm to get treasures. As long as it’s something that can greatly increase the strength of my sect, I will not hesitate to snatch it.”
Li Wushuang smiled and waved his hand, “No, no, no. This thing is useless to you. Only in our hands can it display its strongest strength. If it were in your hands, you probably wouldn’t even know how to use it!”
Jiang Yiming also smiled and said, “It can’t be. Didn’t you say that you saw it just now? Since I have attained such achievements at such a young age, it must mean that I have the ability to use all kinds of methods to get what I need, right? No?”
Li Wushuang’s expression was somewhat awkward, but he still nodded helplessly. Indeed, since the young man before him could attain such achievements at such a young age, there must be a reason behind it. Although he himself could be considered an old senior, in this world where strength was the rule, the people valued strength the most. If one was weak, then regardless of one’s seniority, everyone would still look down on the person.
Li Wushuang nodded and said, “Very well, since you’ve said this, I will let you take a look.”
Then, he took out something from his sleeve and placed it in front of Jiang Yiming. Jiang Yiming could see that it was an ancient scroll, and could tell from the cover that it was very old. Then, Jiang Yiming didn’t stand on ceremony and stretched out his hand to reach for the scroll on the table and flip it open. However, the instant his hands touched the scroll, he felt a faintly terrifying power.
Feeling this, Jiang Yiming picked up the scroll and poured the spiritual energy in his body into it. He immersed himself in the charm of the scroll. Could this be?!
He had experienced this feeling before. After all, when the Dong family behind Dong Mi had come to the Lingyun Sect, they had left behind a large number of such ancient scrolls, and he had obtained countless amounts of knowledge from those scrolls.
When Jiang Yiming had been reading those scrolls, he had experienced this so very mystical feeling!
It was like an old man from the ancient times was talking to him in an extremely intimate and interesting manner. It seemed that Li Wushuang’s scroll was quite a treasure as well. Thinking of this, Jiang Yiming swiftly scanned the information of the entire scroll into his mind. Indeed, after reading the scroll, he had a rough understanding of why Li Wushuang had said that the cultivation techniques could only be used by people from his sect, and if it fell into the hands of others, they might not even be able to understand it. Naturally, he had some reason for daring to say such words.
Jiang Yiming nodded and then put the scroll back.
“Alright, since this is the case, we can go together. We each get what we want, but listen up, since you came to my sect today to provoke us, you can’t possibly take away the treasures. Do you understand what I mean?”
When Li Wushuang heard this, he quickly nodded, “Okay, okay, now that you are the host and I am the guest, the treasure is naturally yours.”
