Ghost General Mo Tuo wandered around outside for a bit, putting on a show before returning to Heibei City.
At the city gate, he ran into Ghost King Huang Dun and his group, who were leaving while cursing up a storm.
Mo Tuo was a bit confused, not understanding why these Ghost Kings were so angry.
Had something happened?
He asked around and found out that Heibei City had actually been robbed!
The city's warehouse and Ghost King Hei Dun's private treasury had been completely cleaned out.
Not only that, but the thieves had even made off with the tables, chairs, and benches in the main hall!
He was completely stunned. He never expected someone to take advantage of the chaos he caused by stealing the blade to rob Heibei City.
He had really stirred up a hornet's nest!
He had wanted to destroy the blade for revenge, but he never intended to ruin Heibei City!
Thinking of the damage done to the city, Mo Tuo hated the immortal treasure blade even more. If not for it, Heibei City wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses!
No, he couldn't wait another second. That damn blade had to die right now!
With that thought, Mo Tuo made his way straight to Lu Ming's quarters.
Seeing the Ghost General, Lu Ming was also a bit surprised. Had his thievery been discovered?
That shouldn't be possible!
Lu Ming then asked, “Lord Ghost General, aren't you out catching the thief? How do you have the time to visit us?”
Big Yellow and Wang Defa also looked at the Ghost General with curiosity.
At the same time, they were ready. If anything seemed wrong, they would strike immediately and then make a run for it...
Mo Tuo looked at Big Yellow and the others. “You all go outside. I have business with Master Lu!”
Hearing Mo Tuo address Lu Ming as “Master Lu,” they knew the theft hadn't been exposed. They promptly walked out.
“May I ask what business you have with me, Lord Ghost General?”
Seeing the others leave, Lu Ming looked at Mo Tuo curiously.
He didn't understand what this guy was being so mysterious about.
Mo Tuo didn't say a word. He simply pulled a concealment formation from his storage bag and set it up in the room.
Seeing this, Lu Ming grew even more curious!
Just then, Lu Ming saw Mo Tuo take out the immortal treasure blade from his storage bag!
Lu Ming's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Mo Tuo in shock.
He never expected the immortal treasure blade to end up in Mo Tuo's hands.
He wondered what had happened to the Tianqi Ancestor.
Even more puzzling was why this guy, having obtained the blade, hadn't given it to Ghost King Hei Dun or kept it for himself, but instead brought it to him.
Suddenly, he remembered Mo Tuo asking him to refine a weapon before!
Sure enough, Mo Tuo's voice rang out: “Master Lu, this is the weapon I wanted you to refine. Can you do it?”
Ye Fan was also very excited to see Lu Ming suddenly.
He hadn't expected to see Lu Ming again so soon.
Hearing Mo Tuo's words, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
When Mo Tuo spoke of refining, did he want him to recognize a master?
Hmph! He showed me such malice before, but in the end, he still wants to own me.
If that's the case, could I take the chance to kill Lu Ming while he's helping with the refining process?
At that thought, Ye Fan couldn't contain his excitement.
He would definitely succeed this time!
After all, Lu Ming would be completely off his guard.
If he still couldn't kill this damn mortal under those conditions, he might as well drown himself in a latrine!
Just then, Lu Ming's voice spoke: “Lord Ghost General, wouldn't it be a waste to refine such a fine immortal artifact?”
Ye Fan was a bit confused. Was “refining” not what he thought it meant?
“Refine it! Refine it with everything you've got... refine it until not even a speck of dust remains! Who told him to kill my brother?”
Ye Fan was suddenly struck with horror. This guy didn't want him to recognize a master; he wanted to destroy him!
Is he stupid?
I'm an immortal artifact! An immortal artifact on the verge of breaking through to the Earth tier! Countless people have fought tooth and nail for me!
With my help, his cultivation would increase significantly.
Could they really bear to do it?
And this damn mortal... is he really going to refine me?
Does he even have the ability?
Right then, Lu Ming's voice rang out decisively: “Alright!”
Wait, what? What did this damn mortal just say? He said alright?
I'm an immortal artifact!
You two idiots!!
Should I wait for a chance to kill him, or should I just find an opening to run for it?
While Ye Fan was hesitating, he suddenly saw Mo Tuo looking forward with an excited expression.
Wait?
In an instant, he realized the guy had fallen into an illusion!
“Snap...”
Then, he was tossed into a storage bag by Lu Ming.
Ye Fan was stunned at first, but then he felt a wave of immense joy.
He thought this damn mortal actually intended to refine him!
It turns out he was just as greedy for me as anyone else!
He knew it—who could bear to destroy such a perfect immortal artifact?
Outside, Lu Ming finished a cup of tea and then snapped his fingers.
“Snap!”
Lu Ming pretended to wipe non-existent cold sweat from his forehead and said to the excited Mo Tuo: “Lord Ghost General, the blade has been refined. Not even a speck of dust remains...”
Mo Tuo nodded in satisfaction. He had just seen with his own eyes that Lu Ming had refined the immortal treasure blade into nothingness.
He had finally avenged his brother!
Then, his gaze turned cold as he stared at Lu Ming, killing intent swirling in his eyes.
This person absolutely cannot be allowed to live. Otherwise, what I've done might be exposed.
Though it's a bit of a pity, for the sake of safety, a dead man is more reliable!
With that thought, ghostly energy began to circulate within his body.
“Is Master Lu in?”
Just as Mo Tuo was about to strike, a voice rang out from outside the door.
Mo Tuo froze. He didn't understand why Yama of Fengdu City had come here.
“Boom...”
The formation he had set up was blown apart!
Then, he saw Huang Tianbao leading a group of people as they strode in.
“Yama, what are you doing here? And why did you destroy my formation?” Mo Tuo asked, staring at Huang Tianbao with cold eyes.
Lu Ming's quarters were within the area of his own residence.
Huang Tianbao spoke up immediately: “Master Lu and I are old acquaintances. I've already spoken to your Ghost King Hei Dun. From now on, he's coming back to Fengdu City with me! He is now the Master Lu of my Fengdu City...”
Mo Tuo was stunned. He hadn't expected Lu Ming to know Yama. Killing him now would likely be impossible!
Helpless, he could only look at Lu Ming and warn him: “Master Lu, I hope you will keep what I asked you to do a secret!”
Lu Ming nodded with a smile. “Don't worry, Lord Ghost General. I definitely won't say a word!”
But I can still send sound transmissions to others, Lu Ming thought to himself.
He had felt Mo Tuo's killing intent just now.
He knew Mo Tuo was worried he would leak the secret, in which case Ghost King Hei Dun wouldn't let him off.
Just as Lu Ming was following Huang Tianbao out of the room, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Mo Tuo: “Lord Ghost General, why don't you come with me to Fengdu City...”
Huang Tianbao was also taken aback. He hadn't expected Lu Ming to invite Mo Tuo, but he didn't ask any questions. He simply turned and said with a chuckle: “Ghost General Mo Tuo, as long as you come to Fengdu City with this King, I will still let you be a Ghost General...”
Hearing their words, Mo Tuo realized that Lu Ming knew he had wanted to kill him to silence him.
He was being invited to Fengdu City so that even if the truth came out later, he wouldn't have to worry about Ghost King Hei Dun.
Mo Tuo's eyes flickered as he shook his head. “No need!”
He only wanted to destroy the treasure blade to avenge his brother. He had never thought about betraying Ghost King Hei Dun or Heibei City!
Lu Ming nodded and turned to leave!
The reason he had invited Mo Tuo was that the Ghost General hadn't made things difficult for him when he was first captured.
He figured that if he invited Mo Tuo to Fengdu City, the man wouldn't feel the need to kill him to silence him.
Since he was unwilling, then the next time they met, they would be enemies!
He would not allow anyone who wanted to kill him to live—and that applied to ghosts as well!
