The photo in the hand of Wu Ling was filled with emotion. He looked at the young man in the photo, who was exactly the same as his own son, and he was actually the superior of Wu Ling.
Wu Ling had already made up his mind. It didn't matter if the young man was his son or not. He had already become the person he is today. He must find out the truth of the past and the successor of the Wu family, and he must be as unrestrained as Wu Ling.
"The young man named Wu Chen is the son of the Wu family. Now that he is so young, his affairs are unknown."
Wu Ling felt that Wu Chen had a sense of familiarity, but he was also a generation apart.
"It's all because the previous generation told me that my son was at the bottom. What's the matter? I remember you and the Wu family had a feud before."
Jia Meng sat on the wooden chair opposite Wu Ling, tapping his fingers on the table, a faint smile on his lips.
"I will investigate. The nobles in the high halls are hidden, and they are not worthy of being a representative. So the Wu family is looking for a rare item called 'Spirit Bone'."
His voice was cold and deep, making every word seem thoughtful.
"'Spirit Bone' is a divine object created by the fusion of faith and the afterlife, possessing the power to seal the secrets of the world."
Xia Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a trace of awe for this power could be seen in his eyes.
"What does he want the Spirit Bone for? Does he want to seal something powerful?"
Xia Bu asked doubtfully.
Jia Meng shook his head, and a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes.
"He wants to seal not something powerful, but me."
"Me?"
"What's going on?"
Wu Ling and Xia Bu discussed at the same time.
"Yes, as I said before, the Wu family is searching for the Wu family's descendant, Wu Chen."
"So it was him. He is the newly born descendant of the Wu family in the mortal world. He can only seize the opportunity. The Spirit Bone must appear sooner or later, and I am the one he must surpass."
Xia Bu understood and said.
"You have a point. It makes sense." Wu Ling said.
"The Wu family's purpose in searching for the Spirit Bone is to use it to deal with me. I don't know if the properties of the Spirit Bone can be used."
Xia Bu analyzed it.
"It's also planned by the Wu family, so it's not surprising that they are in the high-ranking families of the Wu family, and they are also looking for the Spirit Bone."
"You plan to be a substitute, right?"
"Yes, since the Wu family wants the Spirit Bone, I will give him a chance."
"Oh? What do you mean, you want to..."
Wu Ling frowned, as if he was a little unsure of Jia Meng's words.
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about those nobles easily getting involved."
Xia Bu's words were a little displeased, but he still felt that it was reasonable.
Jia Meng took a deep breath and began to explain his thoughts.
"I naturally don't hope that all the enemies are stupid. I plan to make a fake Spirit Bone to lure the Wu family."
Wu Ling frowned and asked doubtfully, "How? A mere fake will be easily seen through."
Jia Meng smiled confidently.
"Don't worry, my cultivation is enough to do this. I will make a fake Spirit Bone that the Wu family cannot see through. I think he will be happy to seize the Spirit Bone, no matter what."
Xia Bu rubbed his chin. "Then what?"
Jia Meng's eyes flashed with a shrewd light.
"I can hand over the Spirit Bone to the clone, and then the clone will return the news of the Spirit Bone to the Wu family."
"When the time comes, the Wu family will definitely be restless. And I will have already laid the trap, waiting for him to fall into it!"
Wu Ling clapped his hands in relief.
"Haha, good plan! But what will the clone hand over to me?"
"Because you don't have the qualifications to be a clone."
Jia Meng handed Wu Ling a piece of jade, which looked like a clone. The air around Wu Ling was filled with a sense of awe, fortunately, the clone was with him.
Unexpectedly, Jia Meng also hid a secret.
That is, not only the Spirit Bone is very important to the Wu family, but also Xia Bu's Soul Force is very important to the Wu family.
If there is news of the Spirit Bone, the Wu family may not be able to hold back, and may even be exposed.
But if Xia Bu is also there, the Wu family will definitely be able to obtain the Soul Force.
However, these things were beyond the understanding of Jia Meng and Wu Ling, and the plot was unclear.
Jia Meng could only do his best to make a complete plan, even if he couldn't replicate the Wu family, he couldn't let Xia Bu get into trouble.
"Fine, when you're done with that, you can help me with the Spirit Bone."
Seven Seas coughed up the Jia Meng's Soul Force, half eating and half asking.
"Oh, it's already done," Jia Meng said indifferently.
"Really? Then hurry up... hurry! Water, quickly give me water!"
Seven Seas grabbed the sweet potato and stuffed it into his throat, then poured the Jia Meng's prepared Soul Force into his mouth. He swallowed it down with difficulty.
Seven Seas patted his chest and looked at Jia Meng, his face full of relief.
"You really are my heart's desire!" Seven Seas said.
"I've also prepared a portion. Meng, it's ready," Xia Bu also stepped forward and said.
"It's just a Spirit Bone, not a Spirit Bone's core. It's just a Spirit Bone's core."
In the chamber, Jia Meng diligently worked, and he successfully created a Spirit Bone core that he had prepared.
The core was as tall as a person, but its body was covered in eyes, and with just one glance, it made one's scalp tingle, making the whole person feel a sense of danger.
It was naturally a core, not a spirit item. Spirit items themselves had the characteristic of attracting Soul Force.
So, if the Spirit Bone was fused with the core, it would not be strange at all.
"Originally, I thought my Soul Force could control the core, so I asked you to come." Jia Meng said to himself.
"Oh, oh, that's right, that's one of the reasons."
Jia Meng rubbed his nose and said.
"The main reason is to rely on you to protect me."
"I can't do it alone. I can only carry you on my back, and then..."
"You'll know if you try."
Xia Bu looked at Jia Meng and Seven Seas again, and diligently operated the Soul Force, absorbing the Spirit Bone core.
"Okay, you're the first one to promise this, you must protect my safety first." Jia Meng said to Xia Bu with a smile.
Xia Bu also smiled and nodded.
"Okay, I am also a descendant of the Spirit Bone lineage. I can't beat them, but I can still run. Don't worry, I have my limits."
The three of them discussed the details of the next task carefully, and every step was re-examined, striving for perfection.
Jia Meng looked at the backs of Xia Bu and Seven Seas, and silently prayed, "May the journey be smooth."
And then, he sank into the darkness, waiting for the arrival of the person who would bring him the offering.
