Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

"Gang Lie, please take this opportunity to help us out. In no more than two incense sticks' time, we'll have a chance to break through."

As Kongming spoke, he struck Su Yao unconscious with a backhand palm strike.

"Brother! What are you doing? What did Fairy Su do to offend you?" Zhu Ganglie asked angrily when he saw Kongming suddenly knock Su Yao unconscious.

"Don't say anything more, I have my own plans!" Kongming glared at Zhu Bajie and said calmly.

"You...you better not do anything beastly, I'm watching!" Pigsy glared at Kongming with his round eyes, his face full of vigilance and dissatisfaction.

Kongming was immediately amused and annoyed by this guy, "You idiot, this woman is my wife, what business is it of yours to do what I want?"

"I'm warning you, if you dare to disrespect Fairy Su, I, Old Pig, will go on strike!" Pigsy said with a serious expression, as if he was really ready to quit at any moment.

Kongming shook his head helplessly, ignoring Zhu Bajie's threatening ramblings. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and focused his spiritual sense on the area outside the cave entrance…

Suddenly, an unfamiliar aura approached from afar. Just then, Kongming shouted, "Ganglie, prepare to rush out of the cave with your elder brother!"

Zhu Bajie glanced at Kongming and said arrogantly, "It's not that I look down on you, but with your small frame, if you don't get shredded into pieces when you go out, then I'm not a pig!"

Kongming was too lazy to argue with him. He channeled his magic power and waved his feather fan, instantly sending Zhu Ganglie's huge pig head flying. His entire body was carried into the air by the gale.

"Oh my god!" Pigsy cried out in pain, quickly transforming back into human form and tumbling through the air.

In the blink of an eye, Kongming swiftly summoned his flying spirit beast, which soared into the air and caught Zhu Ganglie steadily.

"Brother, if you're rushing to your death, don't drag me, Old Pig, down with you..."

"You idiot, do you think your brother is such an unreliable person?" Kongming glared at him, then rode his flying spirit beast and sped off in a certain direction.

"Hmph! Trying to run away?" The two Golden Core cultivators were delighted to see that Kong Ming had finally been forced out, and immediately urged their flying spirit beasts to give chase.

In the sky, three flying spirit beasts sped by, like three streaks of light piercing the horizon.

"Big brother, hurry! They're catching up!" Pigsy was extremely anxious as he watched the cultivators getting closer and closer behind him.

Kongming's expression was calm, and he closed his eyes slightly, as if sensing something.

Then, the flying spirit beast suddenly changed direction. Three beams of light, each the size of a sesame seed, flew rapidly towards it, getting closer and closer, and finally transformed into three flying spirit beasts of different shapes.

"So my brother had already arranged reinforcements. What am I afraid of now?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Ganglie's eyes.

He then taunted the two Golden Core cultivators behind him, saying, "You two little Golden Core cultivators, why don't you surrender now, or don't blame your grandpa Pig for being impolite!"

As Zhu Ganglie roared, he brandished his nine-toothed rake, poised to pounce.

Upon seeing this, the two Golden Core cultivators' expressions turned cold, and they said, "Hmph, do you think you can escape with just a few helpers within my Great Yuan territory? Let me take them down first, and then I'll deal with you!"

One of the Golden Core cultivators snorted coldly, and instantly summoned his magic weapon, which transformed into a streak of light and rushed straight towards the three flying spirit beasts not far away.

The three who arrived were about to say something, but ultimately chose to remain silent, while also summoning their magical treasures to defend against the attack of the Great Yuan cultivator.

"You're courting death! How dare you abduct people in my Great Yuan Dynasty! No matter which sect you belong to, you're all here!" He clasped his hands together, and a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted from his body, instantly enveloping the three flying spirit beasts that had just arrived.

The three of them were not to be outdone and each began to fight back using their own methods.

Upon seeing this, Kongming was overjoyed and quickly rode his flying spirit beast away into the distance.

"Uh! Big brother, our reinforcements have arrived, why are you even more timid than me?" Zhu Ganglie originally wanted to stay and watch a good show, but Kongming was in a hurry to escape, so he asked in confusion.

"You think those are really reinforcements?" Kongming said calmly, waving his feather fan.

"What? Not reinforcements?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie broke out in a cold sweat. He had been so arrogant before.

Kongming looked at Su Yao, who was still unconscious, and felt a mix of emotions.

It turned out that a few days ago, he had discovered that this woman was secretly sending messages to the outside world.

If he wasn't mistaken, he must have informed An Lushan of the location. Kongming, of course, knew that An Lushan wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible.

He made An Lushan think there was an opportunity, and those three flying spirit beasts were not real reinforcements, but people sent by An Lushan to hunt down Kongming.

"Big brother, you can play like this? Aren't you afraid of getting squashed?" Pigsy exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Kongming smiled faintly, realizing that inviting trouble was a last resort. He continued to fly towards Leizhou on his flying spirit beast.

Three days later, Leiyin Mountain finally came into view in the distance, and Kongming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Once inside Zhao Jingmo's territory, things would be relatively safe. Although Zhao Jingmo hadn't broken ties with the Yuan Dynasty, Kongming's agreement with him had been successfully completed, and it was believed that he wouldn't betray him after using him.

With the Heavenly Thunder Sect guarding Leizhou, and the three major sects not intervening, there was basically no need to worry. As soon as Kongming arrived in Leizhou, he immediately rushed to the nearest post station to spread the news.

Half a day later, Zhao Jingmo arrived with his young son Zhao Fangteng on a flying spirit beast.

"My benefactor, you're finally back!"

Upon meeting, Zhao Fangteng bowed to Kongming, deeply grateful for the kindness shown to him.

Given Zhao Jingmo's current physical condition, he would have to wait at least another twenty-three years to return to Leizhou.

For an ordinary person, how many twenty or thirty years does one have in a lifetime?

"Master Zhuge, you've worked so hard!"

At this moment, Zhao Jingmo also came forward, looking very grateful.

Kongming nodded slightly to him, "It's not hard work at all!"

"You're doing well, but my ancestor almost lost his life there!" Zhu Ganglie interjected from the side, his voice booming, clearly trying to claim credit and reward.

Zhao Jingmo and Zhao Fangteng were both taken aback. Zhao Fangteng then hurriedly bowed to Zhu Ganglie and said, "Thank you for saving me, Master Zhu. I will remember this forever."

"This...this is not enough, give us something practical!" Pigsy said with a dissatisfied look, clearly not satisfied with just verbal gratitude.

Zhao Jingmo smiled slightly, took out 100,000 gold notes and stuffed them into Zhu Ganglie's hand, then said to Kongming, "As for Immortal Master Zhuge, he will be rewarded handsomely later!"

"Why... I, Old Pig, was the one who took the knife, and I got released..."

Kongming glared at Zhu Ganglie, then swallowed back the words he was about to say, and grumbled as he stuffed the gold notes into his pocket.

"Governor Zhao, you flatter me. We had an agreement beforehand, and this is simply our duty. There's no need to mention reward again. I only hope that Governor Zhao will remember our agreement!"

Zhao Jingmo frowned slightly upon hearing this, then said, "Now that Master Zhuge has fulfilled his promise, I should be duty-bound to do so, but..."

Seeing Zhao Jingmo's hesitant expression, Kongming's face immediately darkened...
