Chapter 227 Another conflict
Kongming turned around and glanced at Zhu Ganglie as if he were looking at a country bumpkin entering the city.
"You spineless coward, haven't I been good enough to you? You'd betray me for a mere place to live!"
Upon hearing this, Pigsy scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother, I'm just a country bumpkin. It's your fault for not taking me, Old Pig, with you last time!"
Kongming was somewhat amused and exasperated. He then ignored Zhu Ganglie's shouts and took out the "Heavenly Number" jade tablet, gently tossing it into the air.
The jade tablet emitted a soft light in the air and slowly flew towards a cave.
Kongming and the other two followed.
This cave dwelling is located next to a spiritual spring, surrounded by ancient trees and vines, with spiritual energy wafting around it, making it a truly secluded place.
"Where did this bumpkin come from? He dares to live here? Get out of here!"
Just as the three were about to enter the cave, a sharp shout rang out.
Kongming turned his head and saw a servant-looking man pointing at them with a disdainful expression.
"Where did this idiot come from, spouting nonsense like that!"
Before Kongming could speak, Zhu Ganglie, who had been repeatedly humiliated, flew into a rage upon hearing these insulting words. He grabbed his rake and was about to teach this servant a lesson.
However, before he could get close, a cold voice suddenly came.
"Hmph, what audacity! How dare they lay a hand on someone from my Ji family."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ganglie froze, his movements abruptly halting. The voice carried an inexplicable chill, making his heart skip a beat.
He turned his head and saw Ji Wushuang with an arrogant sneer on his lips, his hands behind his back, slowly walking towards him.
The woman beside him, her face veiled, looked somewhat annoyed, yet had no choice but to accompany him.
Pigsy instantly vanished like a mangy dog whose spine had been removed; his arrogance vanished in an instant, and his previous ferocity disappeared without a trace. The rake he had been holding high awkwardly stopped in mid-air.
"Ji... Ji Wushuang..."
Zhu Bajie stammered out the other person's name, his legs trembling slightly involuntarily, and he silently retreated behind Kongming.
Ji Wushuang sneered, glancing at Kong Ming and the other two as if they were a pile of trash. "You're the ones who tried to force your way into the 'Heavenly' zone?"
Kongming remained calm, his gaze unfathomable, and stared at Ji Wushuang as he slowly said, "We entered this place with our 'Heavenly Grade' jade token. Is there anything wrong with that?"
"How dare you! Who gave you the audacity to speak to our peerless young master like that!"
One of Ji Wushuang's attendant cultivators pointed at Kongming and shouted at him.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yun frowned, held his spear horizontally in front of him, and looked at Ji Wushuang and his group warily, but did not take the initiative to attack, as if waiting for Kongming's instructions.
Ji Wushuang slightly raised her hand, and the attendant immediately shut up and withdrew.
He then flicked his sleeves, his eyes filled with a condescending scrutiny. "A 'Heavenly Grade' jade token? Before my Ji family, it's nothing but scrap metal. I'm in a good mood today, so get lost!"
After speaking, Ji Wushuang turned slightly to the side and looked at the woman with a light veil covering her face with his lewd gaze. His face instantly changed to a smug expression, as if he was showing off his superior authority.
The woman maintained a faint air of aloofness throughout, as if deliberately avoiding Ji Wushuang's gaze.
Kongming slightly raised his eyes, his gaze flashing briefly over the woman before turning to Ji Wushuang and slowly saying, "Young Master Wushuang is indeed domineering, but the path of cultivation is long; it's best not to push yourself to the brink!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Wushuang's expression turned cold. The corners of her mouth, which had been turned up, instantly drooped down, and the smugness in her eyes was replaced by anger.
His facial muscles twitched slightly, and he laughed angrily, "Who do you think you are, so ignorant of your own mortality, daring to lecture me, this young master?"
"Chop these three bastards into mincemeat!"
Ji Wushuang waved his hand, and several Golden Core cultivators instantly locked onto Kong Ming and his two companions...
