982 Chapter 982
“Then wouldn’t the old madam from Shang family appear to eat us? We would be better off if she stays missing.”
Jiang Ming could not help but find it bizarre.
Had the old madam entered another world?
He shook his head. When he reached the courtyard, he saw Sikong Wuyuan, who was looking for him in a panic.
Sikong Wuyuan held Jiang Ming’s arm tightly and whispered, “Come with me quickly. I have something to tell you. Are you also worried about the disappearance of the old madam from the Shang family? We have nothing to do with her, right?”
Jiang Ming felt that it was unlikely. “How is that possible? She’s not related to us at all. We don’t even know her.”
Sikong Wuyuan shook his head firmly and whispered, “I entered the backyard. A vortex appeared out of thin air. I don’t know if it’s an alternate world or a portal for us to leave. The snake spirit is already there. I think she’s waiting for us.”
At the end of his sentence, he could not help but suspect something.
“To be honest, I feel that the snake spirit has already entered the vortex. But it’s good. Let her test the waters for us.”
The courtyard was not far from the backyard. They arrived there very quickly. The grass was very lush.
Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan pushed aside the grass and saw the vortex in front of them.
There seemed to be something spinning inside, dazzling the two of them.
“The snake spirit really went in.”
Sikong Wuyuan waved his hand and was instantly furious.
“We helped the snake spirit a lot, but this snake spirit doesn’t know how to repay us!”
“Forget about her. Let’s go in too.”
Jiang Ming, on the other hand, did not wait for Sikong Wuyuan to finish his sentence and went in. Sikong Wuyuan quickly followed him in.
The moment they entered, they saw a battle taking place.
A spry old woman was fighting with a huge spirit beast.
The spirit beast was golden in color and had horns.
The spiritual energy of the two sides clashed, creating sparks in the air.
The old woman was obviously at a disadvantage. She covered her chest from time to time.
Jiang Ming glanced at Sikong Wuyuan, and the two of them decided to go and save her.
Now that there were only the two of them here, it would be best to have one more person on their side.
The two of them rose into the air together, one on the left and one on the right.
They raised their hands and released their spiritual energy. A long line appeared in front of the spirit beast, completely blocking its path.
The spirit beast charged over and was knocked unconscious. Its body fell heavily to the ground.
The old woman immediately heaved a sigh of relief, but she frowned and fainted.
Jiang Ming went forward to check on the situation, while Sikong Wuyuan asked about the old woman’s condition.
“She fainted because she was too agitated. She’ll be fine after I treat her.”
As he spoke, Jiang Ming took out a silver needle from his pocket and stuck it into the old woman’s temple.
The old woman woke up immediately and thanked Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan.
“Thank you for saving me. Follow me back to my house later. I can give you anything you want.”
“Are you the old madam of the Shang family?”
Jiang Ming could not help but guess when he saw the old woman’s luxurious attire.
The old woman looked at Jiang Ming in surprise. “I was taking a walk when this vortex suddenly sucked me in. After I came in, I saw a spirit beast. It wanted to kill me.”
“Everyone in the Lin family is looking for you. We heard about your disappearance at the Lin family.”
Jiang Ming told her the truth.
Sikong Wuyuan felt that it was inappropriate. He told Jiang Ming in his heart, “I don’t know who this old madam from the Shang family is. If we tell her the truth so rashly, we might be in danger. Moreover, the Lin family doesn’t really like us. Your Majesty, your decision isn’t very good.”
“Sikong Wuyuan, there are some things that you shouldn’t take too seriously. Moreover, with the help of this old madam from the Shang family, we won’t be troubled by the Lin family.”
The Shang family’s old madam was about to reply when the spirit beast woke up and started dancing. It got twice as strong.
The old woman immediately became nervous.
“This should be the Magical Creature Warehouse. As long as it keeps dancing, its strength will keep increasing.”
“Then, if we restrict its movements, will its strength decrease?”
Jiang Ming quickly arrived behind the beast and threw out a few roundhouse kicks. He also punched it several times.
The beast’s entire body released a wave of power.
Jiang Ming continued to stand, completely unaffected. Instead, he raised his hand and tried to absorb its strength.
He still had some lingering fear about taking this action.
He knew that the shell could absorb power, but he did not know how much power it could absorb. However, a miracle happened. The strange power was continuously absorbed into his body.
In order to prevent his body from being unable to withstand the power of the vortex, Jiang Ming made a barrier and used this barrier to absorb it.
The beast was instantly sucked dry and fell to the ground.
This scene was magnificent, Sikong Wuyuan and the Shang family’s old madam were stunned.
After a while, the two of them came back to their senses.
The old madam clapped her hands twice. She could not help but feel excited.
“I’ve lived for millions of years, but this is the first time I’ve seen something like this. How did you absorb its power? The power of this warehouse is not something that ordinary people can absorb. Don’t you have any adverse symptoms?”
“I’m fine.” Jiang Ming finished absorbing the energy and shook his head. “I only feel a little hot all over. There’s nothing else.”
“This… How is this possible?”
The old madam from the Shang family was in disbelief.
“Have the youngsters nowadays become so powerful?”
Sikong Wuyuan immediately praised Jiang Ming. “He has beaten up many people. This is nothing to him.”
At this point, he could not help but feel a little smug. This made him feel even happier than he was.
“No, Sikong Wuyuan is exaggerating.”
Jiang Ming did not want to look like a braggart.
Sikong Wuyuan really admired his ability.
Hearing Sikong Wuyuan’s words, the old madam of the Shang family could not help but get excited. She immediately went forward and held Jiang Ming’s hand. “You are the man of insight I am looking for. Why don’t you come to the Shang family? I can fulfill any conditions you have. As long as you are willing to stay in the Shang family, I can give you everything, even my status.”
Jiang Ming was frightened by her attitude.
If he took her up on her offer, he would have to lead the Shang family!
Sikong Wuyuan felt that it was inappropriate and said, “Don’t your family members place the most importance on status? Let’s not be hasty.”
