Chapter 914 - 914 Invitation
914 Invitation
“I obtained this from Li Nanchu, but I’ve never been able to crack it,” the child said in distress.
When the ring touched Jiang Ming, it automatically undid itself.
Not only that, but it also sucked Jiang Ming in.
“What’s going on?”
Sikong Wuyuan panicked when he saw Jiang Ming disappear from where he was.
The child did not know what was going on. He panicked and said, “I don’t know anything. I really got this ring from the king. Who knew it would cause something like this?”
He felt guilty.
Ning Caichen had saved him, and he had actually put him in such a predicament.
He could not help but feel lost. Then he said to the ring, “Ning Caichen, can you hear me?”
Sikong Wuyuan felt that this child was deceiving himself. He pushed the child away and said, “This is clearly your doing. What right do you have to put on an act here?”
“No, it’s not like that.” The child wanted to explain.
However, Sikong Wuyuan did not want to listen to him at all. He felt irritated.
Now, Ning Caichen had disappeared because of this ring, and he did not know how to save him.
At this moment, there was a transparent space inside the ring.
Jiang Ming looked around and did not understand why the ring had sucked him in.
Then, he raised his hand and wanted to touch the space. In the end, he realized that the space was like a wave of water. It had some elasticity and immediately bounced his hand away.
Jiang Ming thought about it. He did not understand why the ring wanted to suck him in, but he knew that he had to get out.
“Ning Caichen, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
At this moment, an old man’s voice suddenly sounded from the space.
Immediately after, an old man came over with a walking stick. His entire body was fluttering with immortal Qi, and he looked like a true immortal.
“Who are you? Why did you suck me here?”
Jiang Ming immediately understood who had sucked him in. Then, he looked at the old man.
“Hmmm.” The old man narrowed his eyes and smiled. He said to Jiang Ming, “You should know why I sucked you here.”
The old man was confused. Jiang Ming grinned. “Since there’s nothing else, I’m leaving. Let me out quickly.”
The old man did not speak. Instead, he raised his walking stick and knocked on the ground.
A glittering immortal shell suddenly appeared around him. The old man took the immortal shell and handed it to Jiang Ming.
“I don’t know if you’ve seen the immortal shells in the Sea Area. The immortal shells contain boundless energy, but this one lacks someone to follow. I think you’re quite suitable to be its owner.”
Jiang Ming did not expect the old man to give him an immortal shell. It did not make sense.
However, when he took the immortal shell, he came out of the ring with it.
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe went forward to ask Jiang Ming what had happened, and Jiang Ming told them the story.
The child immediately became excited.
“I know that old man. He was transformed from a ginseng root in the Xiaguo Kingdom. He has thousands of years of experience and has received many missions. You were actually given a gift by him. You are really lucky.”
“I don’t want to be that lucky.”
Jiang Ming put the immortal seashell in his pocket. He felt that the immortal seashell was useless.
Suddenly, the ring disappeared.
“Looks like this ring has completed its mission.”
Sikong Wuyuan thought about it and heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, things would be troublesome.
At this moment, the servants gathered together and said to Jiang Ming and the others, “Please come with us. His Majesty has asked us to bring you to the hot spring.”
“His Majesty said that this hot spring can heal wounds and increase one’s spiritual energy, so he wanted to share it with you. He said that he had neglected you, so he wishes for forgiveness.”
Jiang Ming felt strange.
Li Nanchu was being too nice to them. It was hard not to think that he was up to no good.
“We’ll go over later. You guys can leave first.” The child waved his hand.
Jiang Ming was a little puzzled when he saw that the child had directly rejected the servants.
After these servants left, he asked the child about it.
The child closed his eyes tightly.
“I remember this hot spring. Although it is effective, it’s very difficult for an ordinary person to feel its effects. Not only that, but people are also easily absorbed by this hot spring. I think this cruel king wants us to die one by one.”
The child became angry and slammed his fist on the table. His eyes were red.
Jiang Ming understood the child’s emotions. He thought for a moment and said, “None of you should go. I’ll go alone. I’ll use my spiritual energy to create a few illusions. At that time, you guys will follow behind me in case I need help. If Li Nanchu does anything, we’ll capture him.”
“But if that’s the case, you’ll have to soak in the hot spring. This hot spring isn’t suitable for you to soak in.”
Sikong Wuyuan felt that this strategy was not going to work. He shook his head and then said to the child, “Kid, how do you know the function of this hot spring? You should know the method to avoid this hot spring’s effects, right?”
The child shook his head. “I don’t know. But I think Ning Caichen should be fine. After all, he just got the immortal shell. It’s said that the immortal shell can resist all attacks. With this immortal shell, the hot spring won’t dare to absorb Ning Caichen’s spiritual energy.”
Jiang Ming also thought so. Then, he followed Yuan Hehe and said, “Just take the child with you. Don’t let the child be attacked.”
Sikong Wuyuan pouted but did not say anything and let Jiang Ming go.
They then followed his instructions and arrived near the hot spring.
There was a pavilion near the hot spring.
In the pavilion, Li Nanchu was drinking tea. He poured more tea into another cup.
“Lord Ning Caichen,” he called out to Jiang Ming. “Come over and have some tea. You’ll feel better after soaking in the hot spring.”
Jiang Ming walked over and sat down. He also called the illusions he created to sit down.
Li Nanchu felt a little strange as he looked at the illusions.
“There seems to be something wrong with your friends. I don’t remember them being like this before. Are they okay?”
Jiang Ming did not expect that Li Nanchu would notice something and said casually.
“They just experienced something shocking, so they need to calm down.”
In the dark, Sikong Wuyuan and the others could not help but feel nervous.
They felt that Li Nanchu should not have found out, and they had no way of knowing if he had.
Then, he looked at the child.
