Gong Moyan's face was already filled with excitement. He did not mention his previous refusal at all and nodded vigorously.
"Wait a moment, Guardian Ming. I will bring people back within three days!"
Two days later, Gong Moyan walked into the inner hall exhausted, with the smell of blood lingering around him, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.
Behind him, Duan Ming came in alone, escorting the old man in black. Both of them had injuries on their bodies.
Gong Moyan's eyes were bloodshot, but his expression was extremely excited. He strode to the front of the hall and saluted:
"Ming Protector, I have fulfilled my mission!
The rebels strictly control the secret techniques, and only a few people have learned them. After going through a lot of hardships, I finally captured a survivor."
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man in black burst into laughter:
"You want secret techniques? Dream on!
The Lord God of the East Continent has already appeared and has bestowed His protection upon our sea of consciousness.
If you search the soul, you will get nothing but a dead person."
As soon as these words were spoken, the gloomy old man stopped in his tracks and turned to look at his master.
Mingqian frowned slightly, he didn't expect that the rebels were actually related to the East Continent God.
Although he didn't know whether what this person said was true or not, he couldn't gamble.
If soul searching is really useless, then promising benefits to Gong Moyan is not a big deal, but finding another living person to verify the authenticity of the secret method in a short period of time would be difficult.
Thinking of this, Mingqian turned his gaze to Gong Moyan, and said in a cold tone:
"If the authenticity of the secret method cannot be verified, my promise will not be effective."
When Gong Moyan heard this, he smiled confidently: "Don't worry, Protector, I've made preparations."
After saying that, he turned around and waved: "Bring it up!"
The next moment, Xiang Sheng walked into the hall with Gong Shi, who was terrified.
The old man in black turned around and looked, his expression changed instantly: "Stone!"
He struggled to get up, but Gong Moyan pressed his hand on the wound on his shoulder:
“Didn’t you join the rebels just to keep your only grandson alive?
As long as you are willing to tell the truth today, I will not only let your grandson live, but also let him join the Demon Palace and become my personal guard.
In the future, he will enjoy all the glory and wealth with me, and he won’t have to worry anymore.”
The black-clothed old man's expression changed, and his lips trembled: "Holy... Holy Son, are you serious?"
Gong Moyan showed displeasure: "A mere personal guard, can't the Demon Heaven Palace afford to support him?"
The old man in black closed his eyes, his eyelids twitching constantly, as if he was having a great struggle in his heart.
Mingqian watched the two people below pulling each other with interest, without urging them.
Gong Moyan really put a lot of effort into his future.
After a long time, the old man in black calmed down, opened his eyes, and directly made a seal with his hands, formed a talisman, and hit the gloomy old man.
The old man in black was only in the Nascent Soul stage, and the gloomy old man was skilled and brave, so he did not avoid at all and was hit by the talisman.
When he sensed that the Yin energy in his body was dissolving a little under the talisman, his expression immediately changed and he turned to look at his master.
Mingqian knew the answer from his expression, and he felt relieved. He spoke with a pleasant face:
"Since you have already betrayed the rebels, why not betray them completely and seek a good future in the Demon Heaven Palace?"
The old man in black wore an expression that remained unchanged, but his eyes moved slightly, and he was clearly shaken.
Seeing this, Mingqian struck while the iron was hot:
"I forgot that you don't know who I am.
I am the first guardian of the Demonic Palace and also the guardian of the Ming family, Ming Qian.
If you are willing to join my Ming family, I believe you will understand your future prospects without me having to explain them.
and……"
Mingqian looked up at Gong Shi, who was standing at the door with a nervous expression, and said meaningfully:
"Your grandson has returned to Demon Heaven City to serve as a guard. Although there is no danger, having a backer to protect him is different from not having one."
When the old man in black heard the last sentence, the last trace of struggle in his eyes disappeared. He was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:
"I can lead the way, but...some people joined the rebels out of necessity, just like me. Can you spare their lives?"
"Hahaha……"
Ming Qian laughed out loud: "This is a small matter. Apart from the leader, you will be in charge of the rebel army's affairs.
Whoever you want to live, you let live; whoever you want to die, you must die, how about that? "
These words seemed to touch the heart of the old man in black again.
His eyes lit up, his expression no longer doubtful, and his words were even more urgent than anyone else present:
“Sir, the rebels may seem mysterious, but they are actually very weak. They number less than a thousand, and their average cultivation level is not even at the Jindan stage.
The leader's strength is only at the late stage of out-of-body state, and he is narrow-minded and very stingy to his own people.
If he didn't have the secret technique, who would be willing to follow him?
However, this person is cunning and has several lairs. To avoid any further complications, we'd better go now and catch them off guard!"
Mingqian originally just wanted to test the situation and then send a message home to send people to attack the rebels.
When he heard that the rebel forces were so weak, he immediately changed his mind.
With just that small mob, not to mention him, even the servants around him could easily destroy them.
Thinking of this, he waved his hand and gave a decisive order: "In that case, set off immediately!"
Led by an old man in black, Ming Qian and his group arrived in front of a mountain wall in less than half an hour.
The old man in black stepped forward and skillfully untied the blinding array, then waved his hand and beckoned, "Sir, please!"
Mingqian didn't move, but signaled to the gloomy old man with his eyes.
Although this trip was a highly risky one, as a cultivator, caution was ingrained in his bones.
The gloomy old man understood what he meant and took people to investigate nearby.
Seeing this, Gong Moyan broke out in a cold sweat.
He had suggested choosing a random desolate place as a trap, but the senior insisted on exposing the cave.
He was confused at first, but only now did he understand that the arrangements made by the seniors were indeed full of profound meaning.
The gloomy old man came back quickly and sent a message to his master:
"There are quite a few traces of people walking around here, and they're old, having been there for many years."
Mingqian no longer had any doubts after hearing this. He stepped into the cave, and everyone followed closely behind him.
Xiang Sheng was at the end of the team. The moment everyone stepped into the cave, a slight smile appeared on her lips, and she raised her fingertips to lightly tap the stone wall.
At this point, the ground was like a lake, with golden ripples of prohibition rising up, sweeping across the entire cave in the blink of an eye.
Mingqian had the highest cultivation level and immediately noticed something was wrong.
His face was cold, and without saying a word, he used his double hammer magic weapon to smash the stone wall beside him.
when!
But after a loud bang, a layer of golden light flashed on the surface of the stone wall of the corridor, and it was not damaged at all.
At the same time, Gong Moyan and others took advantage of the situation to retreat behind Xiang Sheng, staring at Ming Qian and others with burning eyes, without any respect on their faces.
Xiang Sheng looked at Ming Qian with a smile: "Since Patriarch Ming is here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Mingqian's face darkened: "You are the leader of the rebels."
Ming Qian said this on the surface, but secretly he immediately activated a communication talisman.
However, the communication talisman had just entered the void and appeared in Xiang Sheng's hand the next moment.
