193: Chapter 193 Strange Movements at Wanqi Mountain

A single sword strike.

A single sword strike pierced directly through Tang Jingming's body.

Tang Jingming looked down at his chest in horror, staring at the sword that had impaled him.

"Why?"

These three words appeared in his mind, and with them, Tang Jingming's consciousness sank into endless darkness.

"I already told you, your wind-up is too long."

Lin Ming shook his head and said.

Did he really think I would wait for him to launch an attack?

Although that wouldn't have been impossible, and it wouldn't have posed any threat to me anyway.

But Lin Ming didn't want to keep playing around like this.

It was quite boring.

"Tang Jingming of the Zhengji Sect colluded with the Soul Refining Sect and has now been executed."

Lin Ming turned his head to look at Director Shi Lei.

"I understand."

Director Shi Lei said in a low voice.

He finally understood Lin Ming's purpose: to have him witness Tang Jingming's execution.

But he couldn't say anything about it; when Senior Brother admitted to colluding with the Soul Refining Sect, his fate had already been sealed.

All he had to do was report this matter to the Sect.

"Let's go."

Lin Ming stepped forward, collected the statue, and turned to leave.

As for that stone door, it was indeed made of a special type of stone, but it was useless.

It meant nothing to Lin Ming; he shattered the stone door with a single finger.

The three of them walked out immediately.

Zeng Family

"Mr. Lin, this is all the Origin Stones from the four families that Director Shi Lei ordered to be sent over."

Old Madam Zeng pointed to several Storage Pouches on the table and said.

Not long after Lin Ming killed Tang Jingming, Director Shi Lei had someone deliver all the Origin Stones from the four families.

"I suppose he is thoughtful."

Lin Ming nodded.

"Grandmother, I really don't want to leave."

Zeng Wanying looked at Old Madam Zeng with reluctance.

She really didn't want to leave her grandmother.

"Ying'er, Grandmother cannot stay by your side forever; you must learn to protect yourself."

Old Madam Zeng said.

Zeng Wanying fell silent at this moment.

"Go on."

Old Madam Zeng looked at Zeng Wanying and said.

"Grandmother, I will definitely join Yuanxu Mountain."

Ying'er said with a determined look.

"Grandmother believes in you."

Old Madam Zeng said.

Thus, Lin Ming took Zeng Wanying and left the Zeng Family, and left Yuanxu Mountain.

As for whether any more Soul Refining Sect members would come to Dongchuan City later, Lin Ming was not very worried about it.

If they come, there will naturally be someone to deal with them; the only fear is that they won't come.

...

"Deputy Hall Master Shi Yong is dead."

In a luxurious mansion, an effeminate man said.

"He died within the sphere of influence of Yuanxu Mountain. It is uncertain if it was someone from Yuanxu Mountain who did it."

The effeminate man continued.

"Yuanxu Mountain... now is not the time to settle scores with them."

A deep, resonant voice rang out in the room.

"I understand."

The effeminate man frowned and said.

"Wanqi Mountain?"

...

Wanqi Mountain is located in a desolate land in the southern part of this continent.

Wanqi Mountain is a mountain with nothing on it; no plants, no animals.

At the top of this great mountain, two stone houses stood.

In front of the two stone houses, two old men were sitting on stone stools playing chess.

Just at this moment, a young man quietly appeared not far from them.

The young man was seen walking step by step towards the two old men.

"Boom..."

Every step the young man took, the entire mountain trembled slightly.

One of the old men held a black piece and placed it on the board; with the placement of this piece, the mountain's tremors ceased.

The two old men seemed not to notice the young man's arrival and continued their game.

Until the young man arrived at their side.

Suddenly, a black and a white chess piece on the board erupted with two beams of light.

These two beams of light immediately engulfed the three of them.

As the light dissipated, the three of them had disappeared from this mountain peak.

Yuanxu Mountain

Sect Master Yun Xiao looked up towards the south.

Yuan He and Master Yun Hua appeared beside Sect Master Yun Xiao, and they all looked towards the south together.

"It should be him."

Master Yun Hua said with a calm expression.

"I'll have to trouble you to make a trip."

Sect Master Yun Xiao said.

"I understand."

As the words fell, Sect Master Yun Xiao's figure disappeared from the spot.

...

On the spirit boat

Lin Ming was lying comfortably on a wooden chair.

Suddenly, he looked towards the south.

He could sense a powerful force erupting from that direction.

A force belonging to the Nirvana Realm.

And this force must have been deliberately spread; otherwise, Lin Ming would not have been able to sense it.

Could it be two old Nirvana monsters fighting to the death?

That doesn't seem right either.

Lin Ming only sensed one force.

Or is some old monster deliberately announcing his existence to the world?

That's not right either.

This force was very special; only practitioners in the Nirvana Realm could sense it. Those below the Nirvana Realm were not qualified to perceive this force.

That was why Lin Ming found it strange.

He couldn't figure it out, so he didn't bother thinking about it.

After all, he had just resolved a troublesome matter, and he just wanted to have a good rest.

If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up; it's not my turn yet.

"Mr. Lin."

Zeng Wanying walked to Lin Ming's side.

"What is it? Speak."

Lin Ming said.

"Is the entrance examination for Yuanxu Mountain difficult?"

Zeng Wanying said with a nervous expression.

Don't let her confident appearance before her grandmother fool you; in her heart, she was actually not confident.

This was Yuanxu Mountain, a top-tier Sect.

"Believe in yourself."

Lin Ming said.

Is it difficult?

How would I know?

I was picked up by my Revered Master back then; I just went through some checks. I never took any examination.

"I understand."

After hearing Lin Ming's words, Zeng Wanying's expression became determined.

Mr. Lin was telling her not to focus on the examination itself, but to believe in herself. If she didn't even believe in herself, how could she hope to pass the examination?

Zeng Wanying's heart gradually became firm.

"I look forward to the day you call me Senior Brother."

Lin Ming said.

"I will work hard."

Zeng Wanying nodded.

...

Yuanxu Mountain

Lin Ming brought Zeng Wanying back to Yuanxu Mountain and immediately threw her to Elder Zhang Siyuan.

Let them conduct the examination for Zeng Wanying.

Lin Ming came to the Mission Hall to submit the mission.

"Senior Brother Lin, once the mission in Dongchuan City is verified, the mission rewards will be delivered to you."

The Disciple said.

Except for the Dongchuan City mission, the other two missions had physical items to be delivered, so they were settled on the spot.

"I understand."

Lin Ming nodded.

"Also, Demonic cultivators were discovered in Dongchuan City."

As he spoke, Lin Ming took out the statue.

"Is this a Soul Statue?"

The Disciple said uncertainly after seeing the statue.

"That's right, this is a Soul Statue."

A middle-aged man walked out of the inner room.

"This trash from the Soul Refining Sect."

The middle-aged man looked at the Soul Statue with disgust and said.

"Elder Zhang, long time no see."

Lin Ming said.

Elder Zhang Mao, who was in charge of the Mission Hall.
