“Alright, now is not the time to talk about this. We'll look into this after we go back!”
Lu Ming looked around and spoke.
It turned out that after he emerged from his lotus bud, he had started searching for Big Yellow and the others among these massive buds!
When he found the Sword Lunatic, the bud enclosing him had just shattered.
After that, the two of them found Liu Liangtian together!
Only to find the man red-faced and panting inside his bud, clearly arguing about something.
Based on their own experiences, Lu Ming and the Sword Lunatic knew this guy was probably arguing with people in his illusion!
What was there to argue about? Just kill them!
They weren't real people anyway!
Afterward, the two of them simply shattered the lotus and woke Liu Liangtian up!
Directly interrupting his illusion!
As a result, Liu Liangtian told them that he had been participating in an alchemy debate assembly and was just about to win...
This left Lu Ming and the Sword Lunatic completely speechless!
Next, the three of them found Big Yellow. Even after shattering the white lotus, they couldn't wake him up!
Lu Ming was still wondering. Logically speaking, Big Yellow shouldn't have fallen into that kind of white lotus illusion!
After all, having hung around him for so long, Big Yellow's canine way of handling things had thoroughly inherited his personal teachings!
...
“What do we do now?”
Big Yellow looked around and asked.
It seemed that once someone was enveloped by a white lotus, they wouldn't be enveloped again!
Lu Ming looked at the surrounding buds that were still closed and chuckled sinisterly.
“Follow me...”
Big Yellow and the others curiously followed Lu Ming to a bud!
Lu Ming summoned his Weapon Vault!
With a thought, the Weapon Vault transformed into a sharp little knife!
Then, under the curious gazes of Big Yellow and the others, Lu Ming carved a hole in the massive bud before him!
Looking through the small hole, they saw a cultivator from the Ancient God Clan inside with his eyes closed, still unconscious!
Lu Ming's eyes flickered, and the sharp knife in his hand turned into a long hook!
Then, Lu Ming reached the hook inside and snagged the storage bag from the other party's waist!
Seeing his actions, the eyes of the Sword Lunatic and the others lit up!
This actually works!!
Afterward, the group began to act with perfect tacit understanding!
Lu Ming approached another massive bud. Just as he was about to start:
Crack...
The massive bud in front of him suddenly shattered!
Lu Ming saw the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor open his eyes in a daze!
Before the other party could react, Lu Ming glared at him.
“Hand over your storage bag!”
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor was stunned at first. Once he realized what was happening, he stared at Lu Ming with wide eyes.
“You're the Saint of the Qingshan Sect!! How can you rob me of my storage bag?”
“Why can't the Saint of the Qingshan Sect rob your storage bag? Besides, even if I rob you, do you think you'd dare to retaliate against me once we get out?”
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor opened his mouth. What you're saying actually makes a lot of sense!
Let alone retaliating against you once we're out, I'd be lucky if the Qingshan Sect doesn't retaliate against me!
“Saint of Qingshan, look, we're acquaintances. You almost became the son-in-law of our Tiansheng Sect too. Can you please not rob my storage bag? It wasn't easy for me to save up some retirement money...”
Having said this, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor looked at Lu Ming and continued,
“I can tell you which bud Emperor Tianqi is in...”
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor did not hesitate at all to betray Emperor Tianqi!
Lu Ming stroked his chin.
Just when the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor thought Lu Ming would agree!
Lu Ming's voice rang out:
“No, I want your storage bag. Hurry up, I'm in a rush...”
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor choked, unable to help but curse in his heart:
Son of a bitch, this guy is truly subhuman!
Between choosing to fight Lu Ming or handing over the storage bag, he chose to hand over the storage bag!!
He was afraid of being ganged up on...
Then, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor watched Lu Ming and the others raid one storage bag after another, as if they were raiding bird nests...
Envy brought tears to the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor's eyes, turning them red...
I can do this job too!
I just haven't had the chance to show my skills!
Unable to take it anymore, the Tiansheng Ancestor scurried over to Lu Ming's side.
“Saint of Qingshan, I'm willing to work as your helper!”
Lu Ming, who had just hooked out a storage bag, looked up at him.
Then, he nodded!
Seeing Lu Ming nod, the Tiansheng Ancestor was thrilled.
“The Saint of Qingshan is indeed generous!”
Immediately, he turned around and went to work on a nearby lotus bud!
Seeing that the person inside was a cultivator from the Ancient Imperial Clan, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor's eyelids twitched!
Fortune favors the bold!
With this thought, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor directly fished out the other party's storage bag!
Then, he eagerly handed it to Lu Ming!
Lu Ming took it, raised an eyebrow, and asked,
“Why did you side with the Ancient Fiend Clan anyway?”
He was still somewhat surprised that the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor had sided with the Ancient Fiend Clan!
He figured that since this guy knew their Sect Master, he should have joined the Qingshan Sect no matter what!
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor sighed.
“I was set up by our new Saintess. She belongs to the Ancient Fiend Clan!”
Suddenly, he abruptly looked up at Lu Ming.
“Can I abandon the darkness and join the light now?”
“Can you speak to your Sect Master for me? I'm willing to lead the Tiansheng Sect to submit to the Qingshan Sect...”
Lu Ming shook his head.
“Our Qingshan Sect doesn't want a thrice-loyal traitor!”
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor was taken aback.
“What do you mean?”
“It means we don't want you! Go back to being your demonic cultivator...”
“By the way, you don't need to give me the rest!”
Having said that, Lu Ming ignored him and resumed his busy work.
Lu Ming raided a few more. Feeling that time was almost up, he felt a bit of regret that he hadn't found the storage bag of the Ancient Buddha Sect's Buddha Son!
At the same time, he was also somewhat curious. The Buddha Son of the Ancient Buddha Sect didn't seem simple, so why was he waking up so slowly?
After stowing away the storage bags, Lu Ming called out to Big Yellow and the others,
“Let's go!”
“Alright!”
Watching Lu Ming and the others walk away, the Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor stuffed one of the two storage bags in his hand into his crotch and the other into his robes.
Then, without any hesitation, he walked toward the bud enclosing Emperor Tianqi...
This time, he carved a huge hole...
Then he crawled inside, first swiping the storage bag from Emperor Tianqi's waist.
Next, he dragged Emperor Tianqi out of the bud and tossed him onto his own shattered bud nearby!
And then... he lay down inside it himself...
Just as he finished doing all of this, a furious roar echoed from nearby!
“Who took my storage bag?!”
The Tiansheng Sect's Ancestor's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly suppressed his aura!
At the same time, he muttered to himself about how close that was...
Following that roar, the buds began to shatter one by one.
Once the people inside woke up, they realized their storage bags were gone, and chaos instantly erupted!
Naturally, they also noticed the small holes on the buds.
Instantly, they understood that someone had stolen their storage bags...
A demon from the Ancient Fiend Clan decided to follow suit and started stealing other people's storage bags!
But just as he made his move!
Crack, crackle... zap, crackle...
A bolt of Punishment Lightning tore through space, appearing directly above the demon's head!
In an instant, the demon was struck. His demonic qi dispersed, and his soul was completely obliterated...
