Upon hearing his trusted confidant say this, Wu Tianqing was stunned.
This is completely different from what he had planned!
Wu Tianqing knew just how troublesome the corpse-raising ground was.
Even if he were to go, he would need to gather a group of elite swordsmen to help him clear out the massive number of zombies, and then find a few companions to cooperate with before he could kill the zombie king.
If he were to enter it himself, Wu Tianqing wouldn't even be absolutely certain he could get out.
Because if they get entangled in a fight with that Corpse King, it will definitely alert the other Corpse Kings in the Corpse-Raising Ground.
If more than two Corpse Kings arrive at the same time, I will also be in danger.
So how exactly did Yang Sheng manage to obtain the Corpse King's inner core all by himself?
However, Wu Tianqing lived up to his name. He immediately reacted and laughed loudly, saying, "You two saw that, didn't you? My junior brother made a move, and the Corpse King's inner core was indeed obtained with ease!"
The two Taoist priests from the One Immortal Sect nodded in satisfaction and said, "Chief Wu has done so much for the Grand Preceptor, and the Grand Preceptor remembers it all. Don't worry, you'll definitely get your share of the benefits."
"Now come with me to see the Corpse King's inner core. The Grand Preceptor is waiting for this core to be used as the main ingredient for starting the furnace."
Wu Tianqing's confidant brought Yang Sheng in, and the Taoist priest from the Yixian Sect hurriedly asked, "Where is the Corpse King's inner core?"
Yang Sheng took out the inner core and handed it to the two Taoist priests: "You two Taoist priests can check it. I don't know if the inner core I received is correct."
Although these two Taoist priests from the One Immortal Sect were not very strong, they had good eyesight because they often assisted Jin Ding Zhenren in refining pills.
After a careful inspection, both of them nodded in satisfaction.
"It's definitely the inner core of the Corpse King, and the quality is quite good. This Corpse King must be quite powerful; it must have been born when the Corpse-Nourishing Ground was first formed."
Furthermore, the quality of this inner core was practically perfect, without the slightest damage, indicating that the Corpse King was dealt with at an extremely fast speed.
Leader Wu, it seems your Demon Extermination Alliance has some capable people.
"Yang Sheng, you've obtained this Corpse King's inner core for the Imperial Advisor. Don't worry, the Imperial Advisor won't treat you unfairly. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Wu Tianqing quickly said, "How could we let the Grand Preceptor pay for it? The Demon Extermination Alliance will cover the rewards for the Grand Preceptor, and my junior brother here won't mind."
At this moment, Wu Tianqing only wanted to get rid of the people from the Yixian Sect as soon as possible, and at the same time, he didn't want Yang Sheng to have any relationship with Jin Ding Zhenren.
But Yang Sheng said with a half-smile, "Senior brother, how do you know what I want? There are some things you can't give me."
Wu Tianqing frowned slightly: "Junior brother, stop fooling around. What doesn't my Demon Extermination Alliance have? After the two Daoists leave, the treasure vault in the Demon Extermination Alliance branch will be open to you directly. Take whatever you want."
Yang Sheng turned to the two Taoist priests of the One Immortal Sect, cupped his hands, and said, "Gentlemen, I do not wish for the Grand Preceptor's reward."
I, Yang Sheng, come from humble beginnings and have come to the capital only to seek a wealthy and promising future!
Therefore, I wish to present this Corpse King's inner core as a gift, requesting an audience with the Imperial Advisor and seeking a bright future!
"you……"
Wu Tianqing's expression changed instantly. He never expected that Yang Sheng would pull such a stunt.
Yang Sheng looked at Wu Tianqing with a half-smile: "What, senior brother, are you unwilling for your junior brother to work for the Grand Preceptor?"
Wu Tianqing quickly forced a smile and said, "How could that be? Junior brother, why didn't you tell me beforehand that you wanted to work with the Grand Preceptor? This is so sudden."
"Does it mean that I need your permission, senior brother, to do anything for the Imperial Preceptor?"
Wu Tianqing forced a smile: "Of course not!"
Only then did he realize that he had been tricked by Yang Sheng!
He probably knew about Jin Ding Zhenren's status in Liang Kingdom from the very beginning. He pretended to be stupid and went to the corpse-raising ground before, just for today!
The two Taoist priests from the Yixian Sect exchanged a glance, and the leader laughed and said, "Good! Since this brave man is willing to work for the Grand Preceptor, I can help introduce him."
However, whether the Grand Preceptor uses you afterwards depends on his own decision.
Obtaining the Corpse King's inner core was already considered a great achievement for them, a mission accomplished.
Asking for an introduction to Yang Sheng was just a casual remark.
It wouldn't affect them if the Grand Preceptor didn't use Yang Sheng, but if the Grand Preceptor did use Yang Sheng, they would become his loyal subjects.
"Then I'll have to trouble you two."
Yang Sheng laughed loudly as he followed two Taoist priests from the Yixian Sect out the door, while Wu Tianqing behind him gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage.
Actually, he didn't really suffer a loss in this matter.
At least he got his hands on the Corpse King's inner core, so Golden Cauldron True Man wouldn't make things difficult for him anymore.
But he was tricked by Yang Sheng!
Wu Tianqing considered himself a smart man, but he was outmaneuvered by Yang Sheng. How could he swallow this insult?
If Yang Sheng is not taken under the command of Master Jin Ding this time, he will definitely make sure that Yang Sheng has no place to stand in the capital!
Meanwhile, Yang Sheng had already entered the palace with two Taoist priests from the Yixian Sect.
It's certain that Wu Tianqing resents him, but Yang Sheng doesn't care.
His position as the leader of the demon-slaying alliance was merely a stepping stone for him, and he no longer needs it at all.
Along the way, Yang Sheng also observed the Liang Kingdom's royal palace.
Perhaps because the Liang Kingdom was not a truly unified dynasty and was constantly at war, its palace was built in a rather ordinary way, far less beautiful than the palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Moreover, besides the imperial guards patrolling back and forth, there were also quite a few Taoist priests from the Yixian Sect freely coming and going in and out of the palace, which shows just how powerful Jin Ding Zhenren was in Liang Kingdom.
