Chapter 178
Jiangnan has always been known as the land of fish and rice. It has beautiful scenery and picturesque views, which make people linger and forget to leave. It can be said to be the land of abundance in the minds of countless people.
However, the southern Xinjiang area, which is further south of Jiangnan, is exactly the opposite. It is a dangerous place that makes countless people shudder.
Not only is there poor mountains and bad water in Nanjiang, but there are also poisonous insects and beasts everywhere, and there is miasma all year round.
The environment there is so bad that ordinary people can't get involved. Even if extraordinary strong people enter it, they will get lost if they are not careful, and even die in it for various reasons.
Therefore, for so many years, Nanjiang has always been the territory of the Wu clan, and no one has ever competed with them.
The reason is very simple.
No one looks down on this broken place.
Even if it is conquered, what can it do? There is no way to live there. It is a loss-making business. Why waste time and energy.
In fact, even the Wu clan itself has always wanted to change its territory.
Because they stayed here, their population size has not increased, and it is difficult for their comprehensive strength to make a breakthrough. They are not as good as other forces in all aspects.
That's why they secretly funded Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, just to get out of the mountains.
But the final result was a waste of effort.
The only lucky thing is that they stopped quickly and did not continue to fight like the demon clan and the Buddhist sect. Otherwise, it would be hard to say what their fate would be now.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance. Now the opportunity is in front of you."
Jiang Hao looked at the three witch saints and said lightly.
At this moment, the three witch saints were a little confused.
Since they were captured last time, because the witch saint reacted quickly and exchanged intelligence for their lives, they escaped by chance.
But the problem is that although Jiang Hao did not kill them, he did not treat them politely.
He threw the three of them directly into the sky prison and locked them up in the dark environment for a whole month.
Moreover, they were not as carefree as Jiang Hao in the Heavenly Prison. Not only did they have food and drink, but they also had people send them whatever they wanted. There were even many "kind-hearted people" who came to entertain them every few days, making them not bored at all.
On the other hand, the three witch saints did not have such treatment. During this period, they not only had no food and drink, but no one even came to ask them a question. It was a completely closed environment, and they had nothing to ask for.
But they were wearing special iron handcuffs and shackles, and they could not exert their strength at all. They could not do anything in the Heavenly Prison, and could only lie there and wait for death.
Even though the strong men in the Heavenly Realm had strong vitality, they were exhausted after a whole month of tossing like this.
I thought they were going to die in the Heavenly Prison, but I didn't expect Jiang Hao to send Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to pick them up, and then they took the spaceship contributed by Ji Yuanwu and came directly to the southern border.
"If you can convince the Wu Clan to surrender, then your previous affairs will be written off. Otherwise, you will continue to stay in the Heavenly Prison. Do you understand?" Jiang Hao looked at the three people and said. "Understand!" The three people nodded subconsciously, and then reacted and looked at Jiang Hao in disbelief. Jiang Hao meant... just let them go? Facing their surprised eyes, Jiang Hao ignored them and waved his hand directly, asking them to leave as soon as possible. Although they couldn't believe it in their hearts, the three people's physical reactions were very honest, and they couldn't help but walk into the forest. Then they looked back every step. Seeing that Jiang Hao and the other two really had no intention of stopping them, how could they bear it? They immediately sprinted forward with all their strength and ran away in a blink of an eye. After running for hundreds of miles in one breath, they saw that no one was chasing them, so they stopped to take a breath. Until this moment, they were still a little unbelievable. They were waiting to die in the Heavenly Prison the moment before, and they were free the next moment. In this short time, they felt like they were dreaming.
"Did that idiot really let us go? Doesn't he know that once we enter the southern border, it's like the sky is high and the sea is wide, and who can control us? If he continues to stay in jail, I'll make him a big ghost!"
One of them had been suppressed for so long, and he felt full of anger, and immediately cursed at Jiang Hao.
The other one was not much better than him, and laughed with a sarcastic look on his face.
"The key is that he actually wants us to persuade the tribesmen to surrender to him. What a joke, our Wu tribe is living well in the southern border, living a free and easy life, why should we be servile to him and work for him? It's just wishful thinking! Miao Ya, do you think he is stupid?"
Miao Ya saidIt was the name of the witch saint.
Hearing what the two said, she immediately nodded subconsciously.
But after reacting, she couldn't help shaking her head.
What a joke, the cunning reputation of the Duke of Wei is well-known in the world, not to mention that they had personally experienced it not long ago and almost died at his hands.
Anyone in this world can be said to be a fool, but Miao Ya would never think that the Duke of Wei, Jiang Hao, was a fool.
And...
"He is a semi-saint!"
Recalling the horrific scene of the battle between Jiang Hao and Ji Yuanwu, Miao Ya trembled in her heart.
The other two witches also changed their faces slightly.
Only by experiencing the scene at that time in person can you understand the terrible strength of Jiang Hao.
Of course, they were locked up in the sky prison for a month without seeing the sun, so they naturally didn't know, and this was already old news.
At present, Jiang Hao has not only successfully promoted to the realm of saints, but also has a group of semi-saints under his command.
If they knew, their thoughts at this moment would probably be very different.
Although the two Wu clan warriors were afraid in their hearts, they refused to admit defeat:
"Even if he is a semi-saint, so what? In my opinion, the old clan leader's strength may not be weaker than his."
"That's right. Although the old clan leader hasn't taken action for many years, once he really takes action, Jiang Hao may not be able to get away with it!"
Then the two of them stared at Miao Ya, the Wu clan saint, and asked with a bad look: "Miao Ya, do you really want to persuade the clan members to join him as he said? Are you going to be a traitor to our Wu clan?"
This is undoubtedly a serious statement.
Miao Ya shook her head immediately without thinking.
"Of course I don't want to!"
"But the old patriarch is old after all, I'm afraid he can't fight easily, and Jiang Hao is as cunning as a fox, with many tricks, maybe he has other plans."
"But this southern border is our territory, I don't think we need to go head-on with him."
At this point, she immediately raised her head and said with a serious face:
"We'd better rush back to the clan as quickly as possible, and then let everyone hide in the cave. As long as we hide for three to five years, he can't find us, and he will naturally give up on his own initiative!"
"Good idea!"
The other two people's eyes lit up when they heard it.
Don't look at them shouting fiercely, but in fact, they have long been afraid of Jiang Hao in their hearts.
Now there is a way to avoid fighting and escape successfully, they are too happy to wait.
As soon as the voice fell, the three of them stopped resting and immediately set off, rushing towards the depths of southern Xinjiang.
However, they did not notice that in the high-altitude clouds, three looming figures were following them closely.
"The master still has a way. It was difficult to find the hiding place of the witch clan. With the three of them leading the way, it is much easier for us."
"That's right. Not only is the terrain of southern Xinjiang complex, but it is also shrouded in miasma all year round, which greatly affects the spiritual consciousness. If they really hide in a cave, they may not be found."
"If it's just that, it's fine. The key is that they are afraid that they will secretly collude with the forces of the ancient holy world and lead the strong men from the upper world into the Qianyuan world. This is the most uncontrollable factor."
"So the master is still very smart. Just let these three little fish go, and you can follow the clues and successfully find the hiding place of the witch clan and solve the problem once and for all."
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang couldn't help but praise.
"Alright, alright, you two have done enough. When did you become flatterers?"
Jiang Hao shook his head helplessly,
"When we get to the Wu Clan later, you will have a chance to show off!"
