72: Now that you are tired of flying, let's take a rest in the water.

"Brother Lu, which way do we go?"

Like most people, Chen Ziliang and Lu Ming plunged into the cave and instantly lost their bearings.

Looking at the dense network of cave entrances andbranch, his scalp tingled slightly.

Could it be that they had to search eachbranch one by one?

However, at this point, the advantage of having a boat became apparent.

Due to the rising tide, many cave entrances were already half submerged by seawater.

Although extraordinary individuals above the Fourth Realm could fly, their spiritual energy was ultimately limited.

When encountering land, they could stop and rest, but when encountering water, they could only grit their teeth and skim low over the surface.

Spiritual energy would plummet rapidly, making it impossible to replenish.

In contrast, Lu Ming and Chen Ziliang sat steadily on the speedboat, the engine turned to its lowest setting, emitting only a faint hum, slowly advancing along the underground river, saving them a lot of effort.

Chen Ziliang was just congratulating himself on the convenience of the boat when his peripheral vision suddenly caught three black figures flashing past abranch on the right.

Just as he was about to warn Lu Ming, he saw the three black figures suddenly accelerate, soaring through the air.

The burly man at the front was still carrying a blood-stained broadaxe, which he swung fiercely at Chen Ziliang.

"Kid, this grandpa is tired. Lend me your boat for a rest."

His speed was extremely fast, and the angle was cunning.

Clearly, he had been planning this for a long time.

The hairs on Chen Ziliang's arms instantly stood on end.

Lu Ming reacted extremely quickly, pressing down on Chen Ziliang's shoulder with his left hand, forcing him down.

At the same time, his right hand swung out a golden blade light, slashing towards the axe blade.

With a crisp clang, the resonant clash of metal exploded above the underground river.

The burly man felt a numbness in the tiger's mouth of his hand; his broadaxe had actually been split in half.

The golden blade light gradually magnified in his pupils.

With a tearing sound.

Like a piece of torn cloth, his body instantly turned into a mist of blood.

The other two companions, who were preparing to ambush Lu Ming, saw this and their faces turned as if they had seen a ghost, utterly terrified.

How could this kid be so strong!

Escape!

Their bodies twisted forcefully in mid-air, not even daring to utter a single harsh word, and turned to flee into the depths of thebranch.

Lu Ming's eyes flashed with cold light: "Since you're tired of flying, then rest in the water. It's cool in the water!"

With that, the Demon Subduing Nine Blades struck out again.

Two golden blade lights, condensed as if solid, broke through the air, almost instantly catching up to the two fleeing figures.

One of them heard the sharp sound behind him and subconsciously looked back, only to see a dazzling golden light explode before his eyes.

Immediately after, he felt a sharp pain in his back, and his body felt as if it was being torn apart by an invisible force, plunging into the underground river with a short, sharp scream.

The other person ran even more frantically, even burning his own spiritual energy to accelerate, but the golden blade light, like a maggot on a bone, constantly followed behind him.

He frantically rushed into the depths of thebranch, thinking he could use the complex terrain to escape, but he didn't expect the blade light to be able to turn flexibly.

With a 'thump,' his head fell to the ground.

Many rogue cultivators recognized the three dead individuals as the notorious "Blackwater Three Fiends."

These three had long been entrenched in the area around Jianghai City, specializing in robbing extraordinary individuals.

Their methods were ruthless; many rogue cultivators had fallen into their hands before, and even several Night Watchers had died by their hands.

But no one expected that these three evildoers wouldn't even last three moves against Lu Ming, dying so decisively.

Damn it, that's too brutal!

What kind of monster is this young man?

The rogue cultivators observing from variousbranch instantly fell silent. Some had originally entertained thoughts of seizing the boat, but now all those ideas were extinguished.

They looked at the slender young man on the speedboat, their eyes filled with apprehension.

They were almost fooled by this kid's harmless appearance!

To be able to cleave the Blackwater Three Fiends' leader's broadaxe with a single strike, how could his strength not have reached the Fourth Realm?

"It's Lu Ming! He was the one who killed Jiang Tangyue at Nanhua Mall last time!"

Someone recognized Lu Ming's appearance and exclaimed in a hushed voice.

"No wonder he's so ruthless. If he can even kill Jiang Tangyue, who was on the fringes of the Hidden Dragon Ranking, dealing with the Blackwater Three Fiends is certainly no problem."

"More than just ruthless, look at his blade light just now; it carries a pure masculine aura, clearly a method for countering evil spirits. He might even be here specifically to deal with Corpse Puppets and Immortal Corpses."

Another rogue cultivator whispered in agreement, "Let's go quickly. It's good enough if we can find a safe path in and get some scraps."

Although these discussions were quiet, Lu Ming's spiritual power was extraordinary, and he vaguely heard the gist of it.

He didn't pay attention to the rogue cultivators' gazes; he just lowered his head to check the boat, confirming it was undamaged, then said to Chen Ziliang:

"Don't mind them. Go to the third cave entrance on the left!"

Chen Ziliang immediately turned the rudder upon hearing this, and the speedboat slowly steered towards the third cave entrance, hugging the left rock wall of the underground river.

The cave entrance was wider than expected, easily allowing the speedboat to pass through.

As soon as they entered, a stench of decay, several times stronger than outside, assailed them, mixed with a faint, damp moisture.

"Brother Lu, how did you know this way was passable?"

Chen Ziliang asked curiously while carefully maneuvering the speedboat.

He had just seen Lu Ming not carefully observe thebranch, as if he already knew the direction.

Lu Ming smiled but said nothing.

Then his spiritual power spread out, and after confirming there was no one around, he took out the pitch-black bone ring from his storage pouch.

A complete map of the Thousand Caves thus vividly appeared before Chen Ziliang.

"Brother Lu, this is..." Chen Ziliang's pupils widened, his throat dry and itchy.

"A map given by a kind person."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ziliang understood.

Based on his understanding of Lu Ming, the "kind person" he referred to was likely a big unlucky soul who had failed in their revenge.

Is this not too outrageous?

Could it be that Brother Lu is truly the legendary Child of Destiny?

Seeing Chen Ziliang's bewildered expression, Lu Ming also felt it was utterly outrageous.

The mysterious bone ring scavenged from Wang Hao's body turned out to be a complete map of the Thousand Caves!

This was simply being spoon-fed by the heavens... At the same time.

Li Yan and the others, the orchestrators of this disturbance, finally entered the Thousand Caves as they wished.

The two of them, cloaked in black robes, did not look very well.

Initially, the entire plan was under their control.

Deliberately releasing the news of "Immortal Corpse's emergence" was to force the Night Watch Division to act, using their hands to cut off the river and break the seal barrier left by Bai Wuxin.

But who would have thought that it would alarm Bai Qiyue, that woman!

As a descendant of Bai Wuxin, she must know the location of the hidden corpse.

At that time, when the two parties met, a battle was inevitable.

But the problem was, facing Bai Qiyue, Old Yu was also apprehensive.

Although no one had ever seen Bai Qiyue make a move, how weak could the current director of the White Tiger Bureau be?

Damn it, what kind of terrible plan is this!

Li Yan secretly glanced at Old Yu's youthful face, daring to be angry but not to speak.

"Old Yu... what do we do next?"

Old Yu opened his eyes, and a childish voice emerged: "It's difficult... then let's not do it!"

Bai Qiyue's appearance made him even more certain that the Immortal Corpse inside was real!

He took a deep breath, his voice echoing throughout the cave.

"Those who want to obtain immortal fortune, keep up!"

If he couldn't play, then he wouldn't play; he would just flip the table.

He was gambling that Bai Qiyue, that woman, wouldn't risk universal condemnation and make an enemy of everyone...
