Arrogant Jin Yuanshan

The attendant from the City Lord's Mansion immediately stepped forward to guide Su Ming to the street corner after seeing him leave the small courtyard.

Throughout the process, the attendant was extremely careful, deeply afraid of causing Su Ming any dissatisfaction.

Under the escort of these attendants, Su Ming finally boarded the carriage.

"Lord, shall we set off now?" the driver asked cautiously.

"Let's set off."

Upon receiving Su Ming's reply, the driver then drove the carriage forward.

However, after traveling a certain distance, Su Ming noticed something was wrong.

During this time, under Lin Zhaodi's guidance, he had already figured out the general layout of Hang City.

A topographic map of this city had long been unfolded in his mind.

Thus, Su Ming was very clear at this moment that the place the driver was taking him to was not the City Lord's Mansion, but outside the city.

"This isn't the right way, is it?"

Hearing Su Ming's questioning, the driver hurriedly spoke up: "Lord, the City Lord specifically instructed that the place to talk with you is outside the city..."

Having received an answer, Su Ming fell silent, allowing the driver to take him away.

After all, he had enough confidence to face any conspiracy.

With the heaven-reaching pagoda protecting him, all attacks within the Reincarnation Sword Realm were unable to cause Su Ming any harm.

Moreover, even if some accident truly occurred, Yu Die outside the world, as well as his parents' sleeping will within his body, would take action.

Therefore, he had nothing to worry about at all.

Strictly speaking, currently, the only thing that could truly threaten Su Ming was the supreme heavenly mandate of the Outer Void.

As the carriage left Hang City, Su Ming suddenly felt a slight abnormality in his surroundings.

It was a feeling similar to branches and leaves brushing against his body.

Destiny.

It seemed that this encirclement against the Blood Sword Tower had a significant impact, reaching the point where Destiny had acted in advance.

But this also made Su Ming even more curious about what kind of impact the variables implanted by the System would bring.

Could it be that the Demonic Cult Prodigal would die in this operation?

If that were truly the case, it would indeed be a massive variable.

"Jia!"

With a light shout from the driver, the carriage's speed began to increase, and it flew toward the sky.

The horses pulling the carriage were all Star Realm Yao Beasts, naturally possessing the ability to fly.

After flying toward the southwest for a full hour, the driver finally let the Spiritual Horses land.

"Lord, we have arrived at the place; please follow me."

The driver pulled back the curtain, guiding Su Ming out of the carriage.

This was a place that closely resembled a relay station.

As soon as he stepped off the carriage, Su Ming smelled the scent of blood.

The moment Hu Xing saw Su Ming appear, he immediately stepped forward to welcome him and said, "Excellency Su, it has been a long time. With you taking action, those people from the Blood Sword Tower will surely find it hard to escape even with wings."

Su Ming's presence indeed put Hu Xing much more at ease.

However, someone behind Hu Xing expressed a different opinion.

"City Lord Hu, is this the helper you mentioned? Why is his cultivation only at the Nirvana Realm? Leaning on a cane and seemingly having eye problems—isn't bringing someone like this just going to hold us back?"

Hearing this, Hu Xing secretly thought to himself that things were going south.

The speaker was the Sect Master of a nearby Sect, the Gold Sword Pavilion, Jin Yuanshan, who also possessed the strength of the third level of the Samsara Realm.

The reason for inviting him was, firstly, because this was his territory.

Secondly, it was because Hu Xing hadn't initially believed Su Ming would come.

"Sect Master Jin, you are mistaken. This Lord Su previously destroyed a secret outpost of the Blood Sword Tower and resolved a crisis for our Hang City."

"Lord Su, I am the Liu Family Head; I have long heard of your great name."

The Liu Family Head stepped forward, speaking with a beaming smile.

He had found Su Ming's residence many days ago, but unfortunately, he could never find a suitable reason to approach him.

Now that Jin Yuanshan was actively providing an "assist" to help him get close to Su Ming, how could he not be happy?

"Is that so? If this person named Su is truly so capable, have him show a trick or two. If he lacks ability, I might as well kill him myself, lest he die a miserable death at the hands of the Blood Sword Tower later."

Seeing Jin Yuanshan speak so harshly, Hu Xing was about to lose his temper on the spot.

However, Su Ming had already made a response in advance.

He was seen executing Heaven and Earth Carefree to appear before Jin Yuanshan, subsequently raising the heaven-destroying whip to point at him.

"Oh? This movement technique is not bad. Where did you learn it? Hand it over to me, and I can still save your life later."

"However, you actually dare to point a small wooden stick at me... Considering your good relationship with City Lord Hu, break one of your own arms and I will overlook your offense."

When Jin Yuanshan said this, his face was filled with arrogance.

And Su Ming also made his own response; he directly used the heaven-destroying whip to thrust violently at the other man's body.

"Since your words were so offensive to me, I will just shatter half of your body," Su Ming said calmly.

Jin Yuanshan's lower body was indeed shattered, just as he had said.

Jin Yuanshan, who had been incredibly arrogant just moments ago, now had only pain left on his face.

Although the power of the heaven-destroying whip was suppressed, it was still not something a third-level Samsara Realm cultivator like him could endure.

More crucially, this strike also crippled his Soul, and it was the kind that could not be recovered at all.

A half-crippled Soul destined Jin Yuanshan to be unable to make any further progress in his cultivation in the future, and even if his Physical Body could recover later, he would still be disabled.

However, seeing this scene, neither Hu Xing nor the Liu Family Head felt any sympathy.

This was entirely of his own making.

Hu Xing even felt that Su Ming's methods were too merciful.

One must know that Su Ming was invited by him, yet this Jin Yuanshan had shown no respect at all.

As for the Liu Family Head, he had already begun to calculate how to continue building a relationship with Su Ming.

After all, the other's strength was far greater than he had initially imagined.

The Liu Family Head thought for a moment, then stepped forward and said, "Lord Su, you look so young; surely you haven't married yet?"

Su Ming was somewhat speechless upon hearing this. Why did these guys always want to use marriage to tie people down as soon as they met?

"City Lord Hu, let's talk business."

Seeing that Su Ming had no interest, the Liu Family Head tactfully shut his mouth.

Hu Xing also immediately spoke up: "Previously, you exposed the Blood Sword Tower's disguise, and I used that as a clue to investigate further, finally catching their tail."

"According to the information I gathered, the Blood Sword Tower will be escorting an extremely important existence through this place tonight."

"So, City Lord Hu plans to set a trap here to wipe out the people from the Blood Sword Tower and that important existence they are escorting in one fell swoop?" Su Ming added.

He had a premonition that the extremely important person Hu Xing mentioned was the variable that the System had spent five hundred thousand destiny points to twist earlier.

"City Lord Hu, I am quite curious. Regarding that extremely important person, do you plan to capture them alive or kill them on the spot?"

"That depends on the opponent's strength. If their strength is insufficient, we will capture them alive if we can."

For such an important person, they would surely possess very important intelligence, so capturing them alive was very necessary.

While Su Ming and the others were discussing the detailed plan, Jin Yuanshan watched everything from the side with a venomous expression.

He, too, had a plan.
