Chapter 274 Early Closure

Ji Wuming smiled and said calmly, "This question is a long story, and it's not convenient to go into details here."

Luo Li glanced at the others and continued, "In short, he and I have reached a cooperation, and now he is one of us."

Ji Wuming nodded gently and said with a smile, "That's right."

So you can put away those looks that look like you're about to stab me at any second, because we're all family.

After hearing Luo Li's words, Bei Mingyu and the others were less wary, but they were still somewhat confused.

Bei Mingyu was still somewhat wary of Ji Wuming, who was now a popular figure in front of the Palace Master of Tianyu.

He reached out and pulled Luo Li over, and walked to a corner not far away. A group of teenagers followed and immediately surrounded Luo Li.

Luo Li was so amused by their scene that she asked, "What are you doing?"

Mu Ze lowered his voice, "Ari, what did you cooperate with him on? Did he deceive you?"

Although A'li is said to be extremely intelligent and brave, she is only sixteen years old after all. What if she is deceived by Ji Wuming?

Seeing the slightly serious expressions on the group of people, Luo Li was a little surprised. "Do you hate Ji Wuming so much?"

After hearing this, several people nodded and shook their heads, "How should I put it..."

An Shuxue spoke softly, "Ah Li, what is the Tianyu Palace? People on the mainland don't know, so how can we not know?"

I had only heard about it at first, but later discovered it as a forbidden experiment during my training.

Now, it is almost certain that it was Lan Xiaoxiao who was abducted by Tianyu Palace.

Each and every incident deepened their disgust towards the hypocritical Tianyu Palace.

Naturally, it was inevitably linked to Ji Wuming.

Who made this person travel the continent on behalf of Tianyu Palace? He is the noble and unparalleled Holy Son of Tianyu Palace.

Who knows how much of that dirty work he was involved in.

Luo Li could also understand their thoughts. Wasn't she the same at that time? Because she didn't trust Ji Wuming, she made him swear on the spot.

She smiled lightly and explained, "Don't worry, Ji Wuming has made an oath. Regardless of whether he is sincere or not, at least he will not betray our cooperation and will not make this matter public.

Hearing this, Bei Mingyu's eyes lit up slightly, "He swore an oath?"

Luo Li nodded, "Yes, and I believe him."

Hearing these words, Ji Wuming looked calm and even smiled gently at Lord Bai Sheng.

He could naturally understand what these people were thinking. If it were him, he would not so easily trust a person who had a say in the hostile forces.

Lord Bai Sheng nodded, walked over and chatted with him with a smile, "Holy Son, long time no see."

He probably knew the reason why Luo Li cooperated with this Holy Son. It was nothing more than wanting to find out how much help Tianyu Palace had given to her parents back then.

The reason why this Holy Son agreed to cooperate was also easy to guess. It was simply because he already knew what the Tianyu Palace had done to him when he was a child.

Moreover, Lord Bai Sheng had just used a secret technique to investigate Ji Wuming's soul and discovered that he was not branded with the disgusting mark on his soul like the other people who joined the Tianyu Palace.

Ji Wuming was slightly stunned when he heard this. Indeed, it has been a long time since we last met.

The last time we met was probably before he was taken away by Tianyu Palace.

Time has passed and more than ten years have passed.

He is no longer the naive child he was back then.

Ji Wuming smiled and said, "Wang Zun is still the same as before.

Lord Bai Sheng curled his lips and said nothing more.

What happened back then was like dust and smoke, leaving no trace except Ji Wuming.

What's the point of bringing it up again, except to add to his troubles?

Next to them, after hearing Luo Li's words, several young men, including Bei Mingyu, finally put aside their guard against Ji Wuming temporarily.

Why is it temporary?

In Mu Ze's words, believing in him now does not mean believing in him in the future. Given Ji Wuming's identity, it is always right to be wary of him.

However, thanks to Luo Li's mediation, Ji Wuming can now live in peace with them.

Mu Ze and the others no longer tried to keep a straight face and returned to normal.

An Shuxue then thought of the Tianyu Palace elders who were imprisoned in the cave, "Did that group of Tianyu Palace people escape?"

Ji Wuming calmly recounted what he had just witnessed, "Except for Ouyang Fu and three powerful elders, everyone else is locked up inside."

Luo Li sighed slightly, "What a pity, Ouyang Fu got away."

Mu Ze was a little bit unbelievable, "No, this Ouyang Fu's reaction is too fast. The dignified Nine-Star Spiritual Emperor ran away as soon as he said it."

Yun Poyue sneered, "It's okay to run away. After all, there's nothing wrong with putting yourself first. He is vicious.

He left just in front of Luo Li, and when he leaned over, he saw Ouyang Fu sneaking into a passage like a loach. After he got in, he reminded his companions to run.

By then, all the doors would be shut, so what was the point in speaking out? Most people wouldn't be able to escape.

If Ouyang Fu had spoken up immediately when he discovered something unusual, Tianyu Palace wouldn't have lost so many people.

Even though he hated Tianyu Palace, he felt that it was too miserable for the people of Tianyu Palace to have such a leader.

Hua Nongying recalled what Wang Zun had said about Ouyang Fu many years ago, and it seemed completely fake. Wang Zun even looked regretful.

Is it really possible for Ouyang Fu to be so noble and upright?

Ji Wuming scoffed, "He has always been like this. He has no intention of fighting to the death, let alone the concept of 'companions'."

Seeing that they had almost finished their discussion, Lan stood up with Xiaoliu and Momo and raised his hand.

"Well, when are we going to leave? Time is running out."

Luo Li was stunned when she heard this and immediately asked, "What do you mean by 'time is running out'? Are the ancient ruins about to close?"

Lan nodded silently, "Hmm..."

Yun Poyue took two steps forward and asked excitedly, "What do you mean?! Aren't ancient ruins closed for at least two months? What's going on?!"

Luo Li reached out and grabbed his sleeve, pushing him towards Hua Nongying, "Don't get excited."

Hua Nongying immediately pressed the back of Yun Poyue's neck and said, "Calm down."

Luo Li took a breath and looked at Lan, "Lan, do you know something?"

Lan hesitated for a long time and said nothing, only saying, "Anyway, there are only seven days left. Don't you still have to go to the center?"

Luo Li's heart skipped a beat. Seven days?

In the outside world, one might be able to accomplish a lot in seven days, but in the ancient ruins, it is just a blink of an eye.

They want to find Lan Xiaoxiao, and what Cang Yanhai is looking for is in the center of the ruins.

And if this isn't done all at once, who knows when the ancient ruins will be opened next time?

Lord Bai Sheng frowned. This was completely different from the information they received when they came.
