Chapter 217 Saving the country through curves
"What...what's going on..."
Zhu Bajie suddenly felt a bit confused. His eyes widened like copper bells. He looked at Kongming, then at the Nascent Soul figure still hovering in the air, and for a moment he didn't know how to react.
However, this pig was indeed a bit clever; before figuring out the situation, it simply went down a dead end.
Even if Kongming were to come back to life, he wouldn't kill him. On the contrary, that Nascent Soul old ghost would definitely kill him.
After a long while, his eyes darted around before he stammered, "Senior, save me! I'm truly surrendering! I want to sever all ties with him!"
Unexpectedly, the Nascent Soul figure gave an evil smile, flew back to Kongming's side, hovered in mid-air on the 'Old Six Pearls', and showed Kongming a fawning look, staring at Zhu Ganglie as if watching a show.
Zhu Ganglie sensed something was wrong and glanced at Zhao Yun beside him, only to see Zhao Yun winking at him.
He had a hundred questions in his mind. Although he didn't know what methods Kongming had used to win, he guessed that things were not as he thought.
Zhu Ganglie's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he seemed to have been tricked.
He stood up awkwardly, scratched his head, and chuckled dryly, "Heh...hehehe...Big brother is indeed big brother, he almost worried me to death!"
Kongming glanced at Zhu Ganglie with annoyance, feigning anger, and said, "Are you worried about why I didn't die? Look at your pathetic self, you even wanted to sell me out."
Zhu Bajie, all smiles, hurriedly moved closer to Kongming and said somewhat shyly, "Weren't I just stunned by that damned villain? But I've been thinking about how to avenge you. This... this is called a roundabout way to save the country... yes, a roundabout way to save the country!"
Zhu Bajie shamelessly defended himself. He was now convinced that Zhuge Liang had indeed dealt with that Nascent Soul stage monster.
As a result, they began to grow bolder.
"You...you get down here, you!"
The next second, he suddenly picked up the nine-toothed rake, jumped, and slammed the Nascent Soul figure and the 'Old Six Pearls' to the ground.
Then, like a toad, it leaped over quickly and covered it tightly with both hands.
"Let's see if you dare to scare your grandpa Pig again!" Pigsy said in a gruff voice, a hint of smugness on his face after his attack had worked.
Upon seeing this, the nascent soul let out a scream and quickly burrowed into the sixth pearl.
Pigsy picked up the yellowish-brown bead, turning it over and over in his hand, muttering, "Oh ho, so you hid inside, huh? Where did your earlier swagger go?"
As he spoke, Pigsy picked up the "Old Six Pearls" and shook it wildly, muttering, "I'll teach you to scare your grandpa Pig and to sow discord between me and my elder brother! I'll shake you to death!"
As he shook it, the old six beads emitted a muffled buzzing sound, but the nascent soul seemed determined not to come out.
"What a worthless bead! Let's see if your teeth are harder than this old pig's!"
As he spoke, he shoved the old six beads into his mouth.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun hurriedly shouted, "Ganglie is the Prime Minister's treasure! If you bite it and damage it, how will you explain yourself!"
Upon hearing that this was actually a treasure, Pigsy's eyes lit up, and he instantly stopped his forceful bite.
"What? It's a treasure? Then I've hit the jackpot!"
He carefully took the old six beads out of his mouth, held them in his palm, and glanced at Kongming with his thieving eyes.
"Give it to me!" Kongming stretched out his hand to Zhu Ganglie and said.
Pigsy twisted his body, hiding the bead behind his back, and chuckled, "Brother, this treasure is now in my hands. Maybe it's meant for me. Let me keep it safe for you..."
"You want it, right?" Kongming stared at Zhu Ganglie with a half-smile and said.
Hey! There's potential!
Pigsy's heart skipped a beat, and his face immediately plastered with a fawning smile: "Big brother, look how well I, Old Pig, get along with this treasure! Why don't you... grant me my wish!"
However, Kongming's ambiguous smile deepened, and he slightly moved his fingers.
The next second, Zhu Ganglie felt the originally light bead in his hand suddenly become as heavy as a mountain.
"Ouch!"
Zhu Ganglie cried out in alarm, his arm felt as if it were being pulled by a tremendous force, and he fell uncontrollably toward the ground.
His thick legs struggled to stand firm, but trembled uncontrollably under the immense weight.
"Big brother, what... what's going on?"
Zhu Bajie looked at Kongming in horror, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.
Kongming crossed his arms and said slowly, "You fool, you want to take it for yourself? Can you even lift it?"
Then, with a thought, Kongming sent the bead into his dantian.
"If you don't want to give it, then don't! Why bury that old pig under the ground!"
Zhu Bajie grumbled as he climbed out of the pit, brushing the dust off his body while still glaring at Kongming with lingering fear.
Zhao Yun smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, alright, Gang Lie, that gravity can kill even a Nascent Soul cultivator. The Prime Minister is just giving you a small punishment as a warning!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ganglie slapped his thigh as if he had lost a treasure.
"Prime Minister, where are we headed next?" Zhao Yun asked, deliberately changing the subject as he saw that Zhu Ganglie was going on and on.
"The Song Dynasty has already declared war on the Tang Dynasty. I don't care about the cultivation world, but I cannot ignore the mortal world!"
Kongming gently flicked his feather fan and said calmly.
Now that the cultivation world and the mortal world of the Great Song Dynasty have declared war on each other, the three border prefectures occupied by Li Guangling are the first to be affected. As the mastermind behind the scenes, he naturally cannot stay out of it. As for how to return, Kongming has no better idea for the time being...
