Chapter 924: Wu Family’s Intentions, Heading to the Wu Family

While Qin Xiao was busy and caught up in his own affairs, a crisis was quietly brewing.

Of the three who came out of the Wu Family Immortal Stone Mine, one was Xiao Tiansheng. Another was Wu Jinghao—the second brother of the Wu Family’s previous generation, from the older generation of the second branch, and Wu Ming’s second uncle.

To help them infiltrate, the Charm Demon controlled only their Mental Cores and restored some of their other memories, making it easier for them to act.

Xiao Tiansheng had gone straight to the human race. A formation isolated him and preserved his own mind. Wu Jinghao, however, was truly a puppet. His memories were whatever the Charm Demon had given him.

Crucially, he lacked self-awareness. Everything he did served a single purpose: to conceal his identity so that when the Demon Race launched its invasion, he could open a passage from the inside.

At present, Wu Jinghao was lurking within the forbidden grounds of the Wu Family. Only the highest-ranking elders and direct family members were aware of his return.

Fortunately, those puppets did not need to cultivate. Otherwise, how could the Wu Family afford to support a High-Rank Great Luo?

When Wu Ming first laid eyes on Wu Jinghao, he had been profoundly startled. He knew full well that his second uncle had vanished many years ago while investigating the Immortal Stone Mine for the clan.

Everyone had assumed Wu Jinghao had plunged into the abyss and perished. Yet here he was, returning completely unharmed-a development that defied all reason.

Wu Jinghao said he would not interfere with the family. Having returned successful in cultivation, he would stay and protect it. He had no intention of putting the second branch in power; Wu Ming need not worry.

Even so, Wu Ming remained conflicted, torn between lingering fear and the realization that this might be the golden opportunity the Wu Family needed to rise.

Days passed, and Wu Ming observed that his second uncle remained sequestered in the forbidden area, keeping entirely to himself.
