973 Chapter 973

It was all our fault, Your Majesty. We were stupid, but you cant just leave us be.

A thin old lady knelt down, tears flowing from the corners of her eyes.

Yes, we were really wrong, Your Majesty.

You must lead us.

With one person leading the way, the others followed suit.

Sikong Wuyuan secretly noticed that the old woman was pinching someones thigh and could not help but feel that it was ironic.

What an act!

Anger surged up, and he was extremely frustrated.

Dont save them! You dont want to die.

Jiang Ming turned to Sikong Wuyuan and glanced at the old ladys leg. He could not help but smile.

He spoke his mind.

Youre not a commander. What right do you have to say that to us? Go back to where you belong!

The old lady rolled her eyes and aggressively charged at Sikong Wuyuan.

Hey, you old hag, dont you know how good my relations.h.i.+p with the king is?

Sikong Wuyuan rolled his eyes.

If not for the old ladys age, he might have given her a slap.

You unruly citizen, hurry up and leave the Xiaguo Kingdom. This is not a place for you to stay!

Another old woman cursed and spat in front of Sikong Wuyuan.

You want to die, dont you?

Sikong Wuyuan stared.

The others wanted to help the old lady say something, but they were stopped by Jiang Mings voice.

His will is my will!

Jiang Mings expression was indifferent.

Your Majesty, are you okay? We are your people.

If there were no citizens, wouldnt the entire country be an empty sh.e.l.l?

Thats right. You have to think twice. Weve contributed a lot to the Xiaguo Kingdom. You cant be so heartless!

***

The people panicked and began to blame Jiang Ming.

What? Some people were even angry. They pointed at Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan. Your Majesty, I think youve been bewitched by this idiot.

This kind of behavior brings disaster to the country! He is not worth it at all!

Please, Your Majesty, get rid of the scourge!

With another stir, the commoners knelt down one after another, their eyes filled with tears.

Sikong Wuyuan narrowed his eyes.

He would bring disaster to the country and the world?

Idiot?

Scourge?

Did these commoners really think that he would not kill them?

Lets go. Jiang Ming patted Sikong Wuyuans shoulder.

With that, he lifted his feet and walked away, completely ignoring the other people.

Sikong Wuyuan came back to his senses.

There was no need for him to compete with these people. These people were already going to die.

He lifted his feet and walked arrogantly.

Now, he had to leave like this and ignore these peoples nonsense.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

They raised their hands, wanting to grab Sikong Wuyuan or Jiang Ming, but they were shaken off by them.

I hope we never meet again.

Sikong Wuyuan made a face and followed Jiang Ming out of the valley.

In the next second, the flames in the valley were fierce and turned it into ashes.

Whats going on?

Jiang Ming was dumbfounded. He really did not expect it.

Sikong Wuyuan scratched his head and was also confused.

This valley seemed to be cursed.

Lets go. This has nothing to do with us.

They did not know, so they did not think too much about it and continued walking.

However, they did not enter the palace. Instead, they entered a forest.

The forest was dense, and there were only a few small paths.

Sikong Wuyuan felt that something was wrong as he walked, so he stopped and sat down.

We didnt see this place when we came here?

We actually got lost. This is too bizarre.

Jiang Ming also sat down and looked up. There was no sunlight s.h.i.+ning down at all.

I feel that someone is causing trouble.

Sikong Wuyuan a.n.a.lyzed Jiang Mings actions.

Lets walk again. If we still come to this place, then were not really in this place.

Jiang Ming stood up and said in a deep voice.

If there was really someone behind the scenes, then the flames in the valley were probably caused by the other party.

Thats the only explanation. Otherwise, it doesnt make sense.

Sikong Wuyuan also stood up, but he tripped over something and fell to the ground.

Looking down, he saw that his foot was wrapped by a snake.

The snake was green and was biting Sikong Wuyuans ankle.

This snake is quite bold.

He was not afraid. Instead, he grabbed the snake in his hand.

Dont touch it.

Jiang Ming quickly stepped forward and interrupted him.

Sikong Wuyuan paused, his eyes filled with confusion.

This snake is easily frightened. It bit your ankle. The snakes body is poisonous.

When the snake was not paying attention, Jiang Ming grabbed the snake and threw it out.

This time, a beauty appeared.

The beauty waved her fan and jumped around with her feet, looking very lively.

In this day and age, even snake spirits appeared.

Jiang Ming waited.

Perhaps, she would know a way out.

Thats great. Ive finally met my colleague.

The beauty gave him a friendly look.

Sikong Wuyuan heard her.

Huh?

The beauty did not understand. She touched her nose and said, It seems that you dont know that youre trapped here.

Sikong Wuyuan coughed and stuttered, This How should I put it

He felt a little embarra.s.sed and did not know what to say.

How many days have you been locked up here? Jiang Ming changed the topic. Who locked you up here?

How many days? The beauty was shocked once again. Her face turned bitter. A few thousand years is about right. I dont know who that person is either, but I know that theres an ancient legend here. If anyone treats the people of the valley badly, they will be locked up here. I offended the people in the valley, so I was imprisoned here.

By the end, she was sobbing.

What legend? I think its all nonsense. Its nothing at all!

Sikong Wuyuan did not believe it, and his body emitted an endless stream of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy rushed into the distance, but it bounced back and landed on his body.

He was stunned for a moment and could not help but look at his hand.

That was the place where spiritual energy gathered.

Dont waste your time. Its impossible for us to get out. Ive tried all the methods youve tried.

The beauty was sorrowful.

We cant just sit and wait for death.

Jiang Ming did not listen to him and signaled Sikong Wuyuan to gather his strength with him.

Sikong Wuyuan nodded, his eyes firm as he continued to gather his spiritual energy.

Jiang Ming did the same thing.

The two forces converged and directly punched a hole in the sky above the forest.

The hole gradually expanded, giving the three of them a bright light.

Oh my goodness!

The beauty was overjoyed and danced with joy.
