On the spirit boat leaving Heibei City, Lu Ming looked at the massive Man Xiong in front of him and said, “Brother Man, this is for you!”
As he spoke, Lu Ming took out Ye Fan and handed the blade to Man Xiong.
Lu Ming was filled with mixed emotions. If it weren't for Huang Tianbao, he would have had to call this person 'Senior' no matter what, but now they had somehow become brothers.
At this moment, Ye Fan wanted to curse. He didn't know what was wrong with him—why was he so disliked by Lu Ming?
First, Lu Ming had kicked him away, and now he was trying to give him away to someone else!
He was an immortal artifact now! Did Lu Ming have any idea how powerful an immortal artifact was? He really wanted to give Lu Ming a lecture on the subject.
Meanwhile, Man Xiong looked at the immortal treasure blade Lu Ming was offering him, his eyes filled with confusion. “Brother Lu, why are you giving me this thing?”
Lu Ming paused, asking with some confusion, “I saw you fighting to grab this blade back in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm...”
Huang Tianbao and the others also looked at Man Xiong with curiosity.
“Brother Man, if you need it, just take it. Don't be polite!”
Big Yellow also wagged its tail and chimed in from the side, “Exactly, exactly...”
Hearing this, Man Xiong blinked his eyes in confusion. “Brothers, just because I grabbed it doesn't mean I want it!”
Lu Ming and the others were stunned. If he didn't want it, why did he fight for it?
“Actually, I don't like this blade at all. My sister told me to grab it!”
Ye Fan: “...”
Am I really that unpopular?
Hearing Man Xiong say his sister had told him to grab it, Lu Ming thought that his sister must be the one who liked the blade.
“Then give it to your sister!”
It wasn't that Lu Ming was obsessed with giving the blade away, but he was selective about who he gave things to.
Man Xiong was incredibly powerful and on good terms with Huang Tianbao. If the man liked it, there was no harm in giving it to him.
If they left this place and returned to the Xuantian Continent, and some ancient power tried to cause trouble for the Qingshan Sect, they could ask Man Xiong and his faction for help.
After all, with their current strength, they wouldn't stand a chance against those ancient powers once they left this realm!
From the moment he met Man Xiong and his group, he knew their strength was already beyond the Mahayana stage. The gap was simply too large!
Sigh... when he went back, if the Grand Elder and the others found out he had provoked yet another ancient power during this trip, he wondered how they would react.
At that moment, Man Xiong shook his head again. “My sister doesn't like this blade either!”
Lu Ming was taken aback. He hadn't expected the sister to dislike it as well. But if she didn't like it, why did she want him to grab it?
Could it be that someone else in their faction liked it?
“How about giving it to someone else in your family?”
Ye Fan: “...”
My heart is weary. Just let the world end! Since when did immortal artifacts become so worthless?
Then, Man Xiong's voice rang out again: “No one else in my family likes it either.”
Hmm?
Lu Ming looked up at Man Xiong in confusion. Since none of you like it, why did you fight for it?
Just then, Man Xiong explained, “The reason I grabbed this blade was because my sister said it couldn't be allowed to fall into the hands of other ancient powers!”
“Then why doesn't anyone in your family like it?” Lu Ming couldn't help but ask.
Ye Fan was also curious. Just why the hell do you all dislike me?
Huang Tianbao also spoke up, “Exactly, Brother Man, why don't you all like this blade? It's an immortal artifact! I heard it's almost reached the Earth tier!”
Man Xiong scratched his head. “Our Barbarian Clan doesn't cultivate spiritual energy! This blade's power can't be brought out in our hands. Yes, that's exactly what my sister said at the time!”
Lu Ming and the others suddenly understood, the realization hitting them.
“Alright then. If you don't like it, I'll sell it for spirit stones when I get back and give you half!”
Man Xiong's massive eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly. “Good, good!!”
Seeing his reaction, Huang Tianbao couldn't help but tease, “Don't you guys not absorb spiritual energy? What do you need spirit stones for?”
“Hehe!! We need to buy spiritual herbs and demon beasts!”
Lu Ming's eyes lit up. He reached into the Equality Secret Realm and pulled out some spiritual herbs that Zhu Wuneng had watered with immortal spirit water, handing them to Man Xiong.
Seeing the spiritual herbs in the storage bag, Man Xiong's eyes brightened, and he thanked him, “Thank you, Brother Lu!”
Meanwhile, Ye Fan was incredibly depressed. Lu Ming actually intended to sell him. Should he just kill him right now?
No, Lu Ming had that weapon that could collect other weapons. Who knew if it would affect him?
But if he was sold, how could he continue his undercover mission and stab Lu Ming in the back? No, no, he absolutely couldn't let Lu Ming sell him.
Immediately, he sent a divine sense transmission directly to Lu Ming: “Master, can you please not sell me? I'm very powerful and really good at fighting!”
“Holy crap!!”
Lu Ming reflexively threw Ye Fan, who was in his hand, onto the floor.
“What's wrong, Boss?”
“What happened, Great Sect Master?”
Big Yellow and Huang Tianbao couldn't help but ask in concern.
Ye Fan: “...”
He realized that this damn mortal was his bane—a total, absolute bane. Anyone else would be overjoyed to find out their immortal artifact had a sentient artifact spirit. But this guy gets scared? What kind of logic is that?
Lu Ming pointed at Ye Fan on the floor. “This guy actually has an artifact spirit?”
Ye Fan: “...”
You damn well know what an artifact spirit is, so what the hell are you afraid of?
“It has an artifact spirit?”
Big Yellow curiously pawed at the blade.
“Yes!” Lu Ming nodded.
Big Yellow pawed at Ye Fan again. “Hey! Artifact spirit, send me a transmission! Let me hear what an artifact spirit sounds like.”
Ye Fan: “...”
You little mutt, who do you think you are? I'll find a chance to slice you apart.
“Boss, it must be an idiot. It doesn't understand human speech,” Big Yellow muttered.
“Let me try,” Huang Tianbao said. “Artifact spirit, artifact spirit, dance for me!”
Ye Fan: “...”
Are you all treating me like a monkey?
“It really is a stupid artifact spirit!” Huang Tianbao confirmed.
Ye Fan: You're the idiot! Your whole family is full of idiots!
Seeing that the immortal treasure blade's spirit wasn't responding to Big Yellow and the others, Lu Ming curiously picked Ye Fan up again. “Do you really have an artifact spirit?”
Ye Fan suppressed his rage and replied, “Yes!!”
Lu Ming rubbed his chin, hesitating for a moment. “Try doing a dance!!”
Ye Fan: “...”
...
Myriad Soul Mountain.
Today was the once-in-a-century Kings’ War for Supremacy!!
Several Ghost Kings had already arrived.
“Why hasn't that Yama arrived yet?” Ghost King Bai Dun complained.
“Exactly, he's always so slow and indecisive with everything!!” Ghost King Huang Dun chimed in.
