Wet viviparity

Chapter 390 Guests, Wuzhai Affairs
In Lingnan, on Mount Taiping, many people did not understand why Ji Ming suddenly led the troops from Xiatan, turned eastward, and attacked the Guimu Cave in Mount Miyun.

The reason behind this is not complicated. It is naturally Ji Ming's insecurity.

Ever since he heard from Xie Chunchi that he came to Lingnan to seek help from Guimu Cave, Ji Ming had already listed Guimu Cave as a potential hostile force in his mind, a thorn that needed to be removed.

In Lingnan, the reclusive Meng Nan, who was in the fourth realm of the Golden Core, was already like a thorn in his throat. In addition, the Guimu Cave had a close relationship with the Panku Mountain. How could he dare to advance northward into the heart of Panku with all his strength? By then, he would be afraid of being disturbed by enemies from both sides.

Ji Ming once mentioned the matter of Ghost Mother Cave to his confidants, but due to his power and his notoriety for slaughtering mountain barbarians, most people did not object. However, their silent and evasive attitude already represented their thoughts.

Ji Ming found Wen Daoyu, Xuan Jing, Erjun, and his master and had private talks with them one by one. Most of them believed that the demon village under the Nanmu Mountain was not a hostile rebel party at the moment, and it was not appropriate to resort to force.

Their worries were not without reason. If, because of the Ghost Mother Cave, Nanlao Mountain and Panku Mountain were to unite against a common enemy, then Ji Ming's achievement in pacifying Lingnan would be greatly diminished.

Because of various concerns, Ji Ming was a little restrained this time.

Although this Ghost Mother Cave involves a wide range of issues, he had other purposes in mind when he came to this Ghost Mother Cave. If this purpose could be achieved, there might be a chance for him to obtain the second soul, the Divine Scorpion Pearl.

This alone gave him reason to take the risk.

However, Madam Qi Yun of the Ghost Mother Cave is an old demon with deep background, so he was not sure about it, so he had to explore the Ghost Mother Cave. If this trip goes well, there will definitely be a second exploration.

In Shenshuang Temple, walk past the clear spring and enter a corridor.

This pavilion faces the water, with pine, cypress, willow and locust trees planted nearby. The shadows of the trees and the pavilion coexist in the pond, which makes it look very quiet. If it weren't for the old ghost leading the way in front and the evil spirit quietly peeking out from behind, Ji Ming would have definitely gone to see it.

In the pavilion in front, there are several bright lights shining, warming people's hearts like the light of Buddha.

As I stepped into the light, I saw the back of a gentle woman, like a wife waiting for her husband to return. As I got closer, I could see a tiger head on her graceful figure, with shiny, fluffy hair.

When the tiger's head turned and faced Ji Ming, its four white steel teeth and a pair of shining golden eyes appeared.

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you, my distinguished guest."

The tiger-headed woman bowed to Ji Mingying and said.

"Don't dare."

Ji Ming replied a little stiffly, then looked around and saw four ghosts of different appearances standing on the stone threshold overlooking the water, each holding a plate of red dates, two cups of tea, a bowl of Poria cocos paste, and two elixirs.

The woman asked Ji Ming to eat the pills with tea. Ji Ming was hesitant and did not dare to eat first. Seeing that the woman was enjoying it together, he ate a few jujubes and a few spoonfuls of Poria paste.

"If Lingxuzi is here for Tiebeigu's matter, then you can rest assured. Although I have some personal friendship with her, I will still make some choices in the overall situation and will not come out to help her."

As she spoke, the Tiger-Headed Lady, Madam Qi Yun, the owner of the Ghost Mother Cave, invited Ji Ming to take a seat and personally served him tea, with a very humble attitude.

Just as Ji Ming picked up the tea, he heard Madam Qi Yun change the subject and say, "But if the war in Taiping Mountain does not stop at Panku Mountain, then we at Nanlao Mountain will definitely not sit idly by."

"Haha~"

Ji Ming chuckled twice and took a few sips of tea.

"Madam, I did not come here without preparation. Taiping Mountain has a book about your background and origins. There are eighteen volumes in total, and I have read them all before."

As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Qi Yun's eyes bulged, and the surging murderous intent caused the temperature in the pavilion to drop sharply, and the candles were extinguished in an instant.

"You're out of your mind."

Ji Ming said calmly. Madam Qi Yun sat aside, stunned for two breaths, then slowly calmed down, pretended to bow to Ji Ming apologetically, and ordered the four Japanese soldiers standing by to light the candles.

Seeing Madam Qi Yun pretending to be calm, Ji Ming sneered in his heart.

In fact, there are not the eighteen volumes of information about the Ghost Mother Cave on Taiping Mountain, only two volumes.

Just this one boastful remark made an old ghost who had mastered the art of refining Yuandan and achieving great transformation so fearful that he even lost his composure. Ji Ming felt extremely refreshed.

Nothing can bring more satisfaction than this, especially when facing Madam Qi Yun.

"Ma'am, how much do you know about me?"

Jiming asked.

Madam Qi Yun's face gradually turned cold. No matter how great Lingxuzi was in front of her, he was only at the foundation-building stage after all. If she hadn't vaguely sensed a sense of surveillance and a threat from Taoist Taiping, she would never have been so calm.

"What is your purpose? Just tell me directly."

“It’s simple, two things.

First, you and I have reached an agreement not to invade each other in Lingnan, and second, I invite several disciples from the Ghost Mother Cave to come and "visit" me. "

Madam Qi Yun thought for a moment, her expression slightly relaxed, and said, "These two things are not a big deal, but Guimu Village is one of the three caves under Xuanshi Village. We cannot reach an agreement with you privately. You need to report this to the Lord of Hupen Cave."

"I understand. I also admire the master of the Huopen Cave in Xuanshi Village. At the gateway to Liling, I once met the "Old Immortal", one of the four "stubborn" generals under his command.

There are five colored demon villages, namely Su, Qing, Xuan, Chi and Huang. Among them, the three villages of Su, Qing and Huang have only one cave, which are the hidden villages of demons. As for the two villages of Xuan and Chi, the Chishi village has long been declined, and the two caves of Dichai and Yulin under its village were even persecuted by Panku Mountain, and their inheritance has been lost.

Especially the Yulin Cave, where the thousand-year-old Yuandan refined by the cave master, the Poison Hook King, was actually obtained by the Panku Scorpion Immortal Elder's lineage and refined into a second Yuanshen treasure. It is simply unworthy of being a human being."

Ji Ming was furious. Facing the strange look from Madam Qi Yun, he explained seriously, "To be honest, I once suffered a great loss at the hands of Quan Zhenzi Cui Meng. He was holding the Second Soul, the Divine Scorpion Pearl.

If it weren't for this treasure, I would have been able to capture him and achieve great success."

Listening to Lingxuzi's big talk, Madam Qiyun was unhappy, but considering the current situation, she had to perfunctorily say: "The Yulin Cave in Chishizhai is nothing but a thing of the past. Why do you still mention it, Brother Lingxu?"

"wrong."

"wrong?"

Ji Ming stood up and bowed, saying solemnly: "Madam, among the five camps, your Xuanshi Camp is the most prominent, and among the three caves in this camp, the Xiepen Cave is the most prosperous. Could it be that the owner of the Xiepen Cave has no intention of avenging the Poison Hook King?"

Madam Qi Yun grinned, revealing a mouthful of saw teeth, and sneered, "I thought you had been talking for a long time, but your purpose was to stir up a conflict between Xuanshi Village and Panku Mountain so that you can reap the benefits.

It is true that the sky can be measured, the earth can be measured, but the human heart cannot be guarded against."

"Haha~"

Ji Ming laughed out loud, as if he heard something extremely funny. He laughed so hard that he fell backwards and forwards. Madam Qi Yun laughed so hard that her face turned ashen and the scar on her forehead trembled.

"Madam, do you really think that Panku Mountain, a side sect, needs me to use this strategy to alienate you? Do you think too highly of yourself, or do you think too little of our Taiping Mountain, one of the three righteous sects?"

At the end, Ji Ming's expression became serious, as if he had been hit by a wake-up call.
