Before Tu Linglong could figure out who the guest was, a voice suddenly came from outside the mansion. "Your Excellency, the City Lord of Jadeite City has come to visit. He hopes to meet you."
"Come in."
Xia Ping waved his hand and removed the restrictive formation of the manor, allowing the monsters outside to enter.
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, three monsters immediately flew in from outside. The one in the lead was a Thunder Calamity State cultivator, and the two beside him seemed to be the guards of Jadeite City. They were a little weaker, but they were also at the peak of the Dharma stage, not inferior to the Black Wind Demon.
"If I'm not wrong, you should be the City Lord of Jadeite City."
Xia Ping smiled slightly and looked at the old man in a green robe. He exuded a powerful demonic aura that was unfathomable, as if he was at the peak of the Thunder Calamity level.
Such a person almost stood at the top of the mortal world, just one step away from transcending mortality and becoming a saint.
The City Lord of Jadeite City?!
Hearing this, Tu Linglong and Qing Luan both widened their eyes. They were very nervous, as they had never seen such an important person. This was the master of Jadeite City, a powerful cultivator at the peak of the Thunder Calamity level.
To them, this was an important person who was so far away that they could not contact him at all. But now, he had actually come to meet them in person. It was really unbelievable.
"Brother Wu, this is the first time we've met. I don't have much to give you, so I'll just give you a small gift as a housewarming gift." The Jade Master clapped his hands and laughed.
Whoosh whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, the two guards next to him threw out a space ring, which was filled with a lot of treasures.
Xia Ping reached out and took it. He scanned it with his Divine Sense and saw that the space ring was filled with dazzling treasures, magic treasures, materials, pills, and so on. It was worth at least 100 million demon coins.
They had just met, but they had already given such a valuable gift. On the one hand, they were after something big, and on the other hand, they were showing the wealth of Jadeite City.
No matter what, the purpose of the Jade Master had been achieved, which was enough for Xia Ping to pay attention to their action this time.
"Thank you, City Lord, for your gift. But in my opinion, the gift is nothing. It seems that the City Lord wants to be friends with me." Xia Ping smiled slightly.
The corners of the two monster guards' mouths twitched. This guy was quite arrogant. A gift of 100 million demon coins and he still dared to say that it was a small gift. One must know that this was a wealth that many monsters could never obtain in their lifetime.
But thinking about it carefully, this guy could spend a billion demon coins in a day, so it was not surprising that he dared to say such words.
"Haha, you're right. The gift is secondary. I just want to make friends with you, Brother Wu. As the saying goes, everyone is a brother. One more brother and one more friend means one more way out. There's no need for one more enemy, right?"
The Emerald Master indeed wanted to make friends with Xia Ping and find out more about him.
"There's no need for pleasantries. I'm a demon, and I'm a straightforward person. I don't like pleasantries. City Lord, why don't you tell me the reason for your visit today?"
Xia Ping went straight to the point.
"Haha, as expected of Brother Wu. You're indeed direct. I'm the same. I can't be bothered with pleasantries. It's a waste of time, so I'll get straight to the point. This time, the Black Hole Worm has appeared. Do you want to join our Emerald City and work together to obtain the Black Hole Worm?"
The Emerald Master stated his purpose. "I believe you also know how precious the Black Hole Worm is. Once you obtain it, you can roam the world and comprehend the power of space within the Black Hole Worm. With the power of the Black Hole Worm, you can easily enter mystic realms with all kinds of restrictive formations and obtain all kinds of secret treasures. The world is big, and you can go anywhere you want."
What?!
Tu Linglong and Qing Luan were dumbfounded. They never thought that the Emerald Master would appear in person. His purpose was to rope in Xia Ping and let him join the team to obtain the Black Hole Worm.
What was this? Inviting a wolf into the house?!
"I see. It's about the Black Hole Worm. It's not impossible to join you, but what value do you have for me to join? You should know that there are many monsters that want to invite me. "
Xia Ping hesitated and didn't agree easily. As a powerful monster, he couldn't join just because he wanted to. He needed to be reserved, or other monsters would look down on him.
Hearing this, the Emerald Master and the other monsters didn't get angry. Instead, they looked as if they had expected it. They had guessed that he came to Jadeite City for the Black Hole Worm, and it seemed that it was just as they had expected.
"I believe that Brother Wu also knows that the Black Hole Worm disappeared in the universe back then because its leader, the Black Hole Worm Patriarch, personally took all the Black Hole Worms away and hid them in the dimensional void. That's why no Black Hole Worm has appeared in the universe ever since."
The Emerald Master spoke of historical secrets. "However, the ancient war was a battle of life and death for the entire universe. The Black Hole Worm Patriarch was forced to fight, but he couldn't defeat the abyssal demons and died tragically on the battlefield.
As for its lair, the Black Hole Worm's lair, it was hidden in the depths of the void and hadn't appeared for a long time. However, today, it seems that after a spatial turbulence, the Black Hole Worm's lair finally rushed out of the dimensional space and returned to the real world.
Some Demon Sages calculated that the Black Hole Worm's lair is about to enter the Demon Realm, which is a place near Jadeite City. Once the Black Hole Worm's lair appears, the Black Hole Worm inside will definitely appear.
After countless years of reproduction, even if the Black Hole Worm's reproductive ability is very poor, it should have given birth to many offspring. This is enough for us to fight for. As long as we can get one, we can develop and become rich. "
Its eyes revealed a greedy light, filled with desire.
"Of course I know all these things."
Xia Ping pretended to know everything and didn't feel the slightest bit guilty. "However, you still haven't told me what advantages you have. What is it that is worth me joining?"
"Brother Wu, a straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. I'll be honest. My Jadeite City indeed doesn't have any advantages, and it's insignificant compared to the other forces. Whether we can get the Black Hole Worm or not is another matter. It can only depend on luck."
The Emerald Master narrowed his eyes. "However, Brother Wu, you have a deep background. Instead of relying on a large force, you ran to a poor and remote place like Jadeite City. I'm afraid you have some secret behind you.
However, my Emerald Master's greatest advantage is that I never investigate the secrets of my friends. I get along with them as equals, and I'm very tight-lipped. I'm a friend worth making. "
"Tight-Lipped is the greatest advantage. Many monsters don't trust you because they don't keep their mouths shut. Since the Emerald City Master said so, I have no reason to refuse."
Xia Ping said lightly.
"Does that mean Brother Wu has agreed?"
The Emerald Master's eyes lit up. He had finally convinced this mysterious monster. This was a powerful helper. In order to get the Black Hole Worm, a powerful helper was indispensable.
"Yes, I agree."
Xia Ping nodded.
"In that case, let's meet at the City Lord's Mansion tonight. I'll introduce some powerful monsters to Brother Wu. They are all good partners in fighting for the Black Hole Worm."
The Emerald Master made an invitation.
Xia Ping naturally did not refuse.
