961 Chapter 961
Seeing that the woodcutter’s eyes were shining with golden light, Jiang Ming could not help but think more and secretly put his guard up in his heart.
Sikong Wuyuan was careless and did not notice the current situation. He was deep in thought.
He did not know what was going on with the demon. He did not know what his chances of winning were if he fought Jiang Ming.
Due to the king’s identity, the woodcutter believed in Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan’s character, so he brought the two of them to the small wooden house first.
However, Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan were still a step too late when they arrived at the cabin.
It was empty inside.
Sikong Wuyuan was speechless.
They had delayed the woodcutter for too long.
The woodcutter did not notice. He scratched his head and said, “The prime minister isn’t here.”
Jiang Ming calmed down. He turned to look at the woodcutter. “How did you know that we went to look for the prime minister?”
He grinned in his heart.
The woodcutter instantly became nervous. He turned around and wanted to escape, but he was grabbed by Sikong Wuyuan.
Sikong Wuyuan sneered. “You still want to run? Keep dreaming. Don’t you know how many evil things you’ve done?”
“The prime minister’s subordinate is the great demon who grabbed my daughter. I have a seal on me, so I can’t tell you much else.” The woodcutter trembled. “If I let you go now, my daughter will definitely be tortured to death.”
As he spoke, he began to cry.
Jiang Ming rolled his eyes.
“You should go, Sikong Wuyuan. We’ll go to other places to search.”
Sikong Wuyuan felt that he could not take this lying down. He hit the woodcutter’s chest, but this triggered the seal.
After the seal was removed, the woodcutter’s body instantly became younger. His entire person was radiant, and his hair had also turned dark red.
He was now wearing dark red robes.
“Why is the master of the Palm Sect here?”
Sikong Wuyuan recognized the woodcutter and could not help but take a step back in confusion.
Why would the sect master appear here?
Jiang Ming was deep in thought.
“What organization is the Palm Sect?”
The woodcutter laughed out loud. “I didn’t expect you guys to actually know how to break the seal. However, you guys aren’t my enemies. I’m going to save my sister now. Do you guys want to come along?”
Jiang Ming felt that he was lying, but he still chose to go with the woodcutter.
No matter what, they might be able to see the prime minister.
Sikong Wuyuan and Jiang Ming followed the woodcutter to a tightly shut door.
Behind this door was a huge courtyard, located in the luxurious part of the Xiaguo Kingdom.
Jiang Ming felt that the prime minister would not be so ostentatious, so he immediately asked suspiciously, “Will the prime minister be here? Didn’t you say that it was his subordinate who caught your sister?”
“I don’t know if the prime minister is here, but his subordinates are definitely here.”
The woodcutter touched the jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant was flashing with colorful lights.
Sikong Wuyuan also noticed this light, and his face instantly turned cold.
“Don’t tell me this jade pendant of yours is a tip-off? You lied to us once, and now you want to lie to us again?”
The woodcutter’s face fell.
“This jade pendant is definitely not a tip-off. This is my only way of contacting my sister. As long as I have the jade pendant, I can find my sister.”
Sikong Wuyuan did not believe him at all. He continued to snort coldly. “How would we know if it’s true? Maybe you’re lying.”
Jiang Ming spoke up for the woodcutter.
“Sikong Wuyuan, this is indeed a communication device. Don’t worry.”
Sikong Wuyuan found it unbelievable. He immediately asked Jiang Ming in his heart, “Ning Caichen, are you sure? I’ve seen communication devices before. This looks different. Perhaps the person holding the other jade pendant is listening to us.”
“Even if they hear us, we still have to go in. Moreover, they already know that we’re coming.”
Jiang Ming analyzed the situation for Sikong Wuyuan.
Sikong Wuyuan felt that it made sense, but then he became resentful.
“This sect master is really evil. He keeps scheming against us, and we’re still being led by him.”
“Perhaps our roles will soon be reversed.”
Jiang Ming did not care at all and smirked.
Sikong Wuyuan seemed to have understood something and laughed sinisterly.
“I want to see what this sect master can do.”
The woodcutter knocked on the door, but it did not open.
He knocked two or three more times and found that the door still did not open. He immediately looked at Jiang Ming and said, “Why don’t we look for another way to break in?”
They were surrounded by tall buildings. The woodcutter could not help but become anxious.
“I don’t know how my sister is doing. If we don’t find her, my sister might lose her innocence.”
“I see a dog hole here. Why don’t we go in through the dog hole?”
Jiang Ming looked up and saw the dog hole on the ground. He could not help but feel mischievous.
Seeing this dog hole, the woodcutter was a little disgusted. He was unwilling to give up and looked around again.
He looked left and right. There was indeed only one dog hole. He could only say helplessly, “Alright then. Let’s go through the dog hole.”
“Who wants to go first?”
Sikong Wuyuan and Jiang Ming both looked at him.
“I don’t like people seeing me go through a dog hole,” said the woodcutter awkwardly. “Why don’t you two decide to go first?”
Jiang Ming pretended to be troubled. “I’m the same. I want to cover the rear. Who knows if someone will come from behind?”
Sikong Wuyuan pretended to be embarrassed. “This dog hole might not be able to accommodate me. I need someone to expand it.”
Seeing that he had no choice, the woodcutter could only crawl in.
Seeing the coachman’s butt, Sikong Wuyuan wanted to step forward and kick him angrily, but he was stopped by Jiang Ming.
“If you want to kill someone, you have to find the right time.”
Sikong Wuyuan nodded. Then, he asked, “Then how do we enter? This wall is indeed too high.”
Jiang Ming glanced at the high wall and signaled Sikong Wuyuan to go up.
Sikong Wuyuan shook his head and said, “How can I go up?”
Seeing this, Jiang Ming simply pulled Sikong Wuyuan with him and jumped up to the high wall. Then, he pulled him down.
