“What? Another one is being conceived?”
Hearing Tribulation Lightning's tearful complaint, Lu Ming was also speechless.
It was like harvesting leeks—as soon as one crop was cut, another would sprout.
There was simply no end to it!
“Alright, I have some important matters to handle right now. Once I'm done, I'll head to the Thunder Pool with you to take a look. Just endure the beatings for now...”
“You got it, Big Brother! But please hurry up, Big Brother!”
With that, Tribulation Lightning happily scurried off.
It was good to have a big brother. When bullied by another lightning, someone would stand up for him.
Fu Yunshen felt his hair standing on end, and not because he had been struck by lightning.
Rather, he was completely shocked by the conversation between this man and the lightning!
He could understand every single word they said.
But when put together, it made absolutely no sense to him.
The Tribulation Lightning, which struck terror into the hearts of countless cultivators across the entire continent, had actually approached Lu Ming for help.
This was simply mind-blowing!
It was like holding a woman's hand once, and then she gave birth to twins.
And they turned out to be his biological children!
How ridiculous was that?
“Let's go!”
While Fu Yunshen was still questioning his reality, Lu Ming's voice rang in his ears.
“Oh... right, okay...”
Fu Yunshen snapped out of it, still feeling a sense of unreality.
“Fellow Daoist Lu, was that really Tribulation Lightning just now?”
“Yes... didn't you see your brother getting struck by him?”
Fu Yunshen looked up and indeed saw his brother, who was already at the Unity stage, with smoke billowing from his entire body.
Fortunately, his injuries were not severe!
So he hadn't fallen into an illusion?
He truly hadn't expected Fu Chen's cultivation to break through so rapidly.
“Big Brother, you're here!”
Fu Chen spoke, smoke still puffing out of his mouth!
Fu Yunshen nodded and briefly explained what had happened.
Fu Chen nodded.
“Big Brother, don't be sad. Your life is what matters. If you still want to be emperor, we can conquer another empire for you after we deal with our enemies!”
Fu Yunshen waved his hand.
“Forget it. If it weren't for the legacy left by our parents, I would have quit long ago!”
“It's actually quite nice like this! Now I can focus on my cultivation in peace...”
Hearing his brother say this, Fu Chen nodded.
Actually, he didn't want to be an emperor either; it was too much of a hassle!
It was much more satisfying to follow the Great Sect Master and kill enemies!
...
“Great Sect Master, where are Mu Linsen and the others?” Wang Defa couldn't help but ask as he looked around.
He noticed that the Qingshan Sect was empty once again.
He couldn't help but suspect if the Grand Elder and the others had run away again!
Though he didn't know why they would run away, he had every reason to suspect them.
After all, they had a history of doing so!
“I already had them leave!”
Lu Ming said calmly, then explained his plan.
Afterward, he said to Wang Defa and the others, “You all should leave as well and forge your own paths!”
“No way! I'm staying with you!”
The moment Lu Ming finished speaking, Wang Defa rejected the idea without hesitation.
“I want to follow you too!” Fu Chen also spoke up anxiously upon hearing Lu Ming's words.
Lu Ming looked at them. “If those ancient powers find us, wouldn't we all be wiped out in one go?”
“As long as the green hills remain, the Qingshan Sect will always exist!”
With that, he turned to look at Fu Chen.
“Go with your brother to the Bandit Sect in the Central Province. Bao Duoduo is there. Keep a close eye on the situation in the Central Province at all times!”
Hearing Lu Ming's instructions, Fu Chen finally nodded.
He then bid farewell to Lu Ming and departed for the Central Province with his brother.
In the end, only Lu Ming, Big Yellow, and Wang Defa were left to head to the demon race's territory!
They needed to warn the demon race to prepare themselves!
However, when they arrived, Minister Fox informed them of a development.
The Demon Emperor had led a force to attack the Southern Frontier!
After a quick calculation, Lu Ming decided they might as well head to the Southern Frontier. While looking for the Demon Emperor, they could also lend the demon race a hand.
Before leaving, however, Lu Ming explained the situation to Minister Fox.
This was to give him a heads-up.
Clang, clang, clang... chugga, chugga... The rumbling sound of the spirit boat echoed in the sky.
It left behind a trail of sparks and lightning!
“Highway robbery!”
As the spirit boat sped forward, a loud shout boomed ahead of them.
Lu Ming was startled. Looking up, he saw a burly man blocking the path of the spirit boat.
Well, would you look at that...
Lu Ming was instantly speechless. He had been a bandit for half his life, and today, he was actually getting robbed!
Without any hesitation, Lu Ming roared at the top of his lungs,
“Ram right through him!”
“On it!”
Big Yellow barked in response, immediately accelerating the spirit boat to plow straight ahead.
On the other side, Huo Furong was also taken aback when she saw the spirit boat hurtling toward her at breakneck speed.
Oh, holy crap!
These little rascals are pretty ruthless!
Boom! Huo Furong raised her hand, and a protective screen materialized in front of her.
At the same time, she couldn't help but mutter to herself:
These little rascals shouldn't end up hurting themselves by crashing into me, right?
While maintaining the protective screen, Huo Furong rummaged through her storage bag.
She planned to find a magical artifact to use. After all, a robber had to look the part.
An axe? No, what if my hand slips and I chop Lu Ming and the others to death?
A longsword? No, what if I'm not careful and skewered them?
A hammer? No...
...
Finally, Huo Furong's eyes lit up as something caught her attention.
A tablecloth...
This was a tablecloth used to cover a table inside her storage bag.
Although this thing was refined from natural treasures, its lethality is practically zero!
It's literally just meant for covering tables!
Immediately, Huo Furong cleared off the teapot and teacups resting on it.
With a wave of her hand, the tablecloth appeared in her grasp.
Boom!
Just then, a deafening explosion resounded as Lu Ming's spirit boat crashed violently into the spiritual energy screen!
The spirit boat blew apart, sending the three of them flying backward.
Seeing this, Huo Furong's eyes flickered. She shook the tablecloth in her hand and pointed it at them, shouting,
“Robbery! Hand over your storage bags right now...”
Having stabilized themselves, Lu Ming and the other two stared at Huo Furong in utter confusion.
“Senior, you're a Half-Immortal powerhouse. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to rob us lowly Unity stage small fry?”
Lu Ming cupped his hands and smiled wryly.
He never expected that the one robbing them would actually be a Half-Immortal.
What was going on?
Were Half-Immortals this poor nowadays?
Under her disguise, a fierce expression appeared on Huo Furong's face.
“I just love bullying the weak! It's not like I can beat the strong anyway!”
Lu Ming, Big Yellow, and Wang Defa were all stunned.
Well, that actually makes perfect sense. We have no comeback for that.
“Cut the crap and hand over your storage bags!”
Huo Furong barked impatiently.
At the same time, she muttered internally:
Should I just start beating them up? Would that seem too unreasonable?
Lu Ming and Big Yellow exchanged glances.
Immediately, the three of them swiftly unclipped the storage bags from their waists and tossed them over to Huo Furong!
Catching the storage bags, Huo Furong was dumbfounded. What was this?
Aren't you guys even going to struggle a bit? No resistance at all?
You can't just give them to me like this!
If you're this cooperative, how am I supposed to find an excuse to beat you up?
If I don't beat you up, how can I fulfill the Grand Elder's task of tempering you?
Then, she remembered that Lu Ming possessed a spatial secret realm, so his good stuff must have been hidden away!
Sure enough, upon inspecting the storage bags handed over by the two men and one dog, they were incredibly poor.
Huo Furong's eyes widened, and she bellowed:
“How dare you! You dare to trick me!”
“Senior, we're not tricking you! We really are just poor devils!”
Lu Ming hastily cried out.
“Yeah, yeah... we're all just poor devils!”
Big Yellow and Wang Defa chimed in, putting on their most pitiful expressions.
