75: If you show off, you will get beaten!
That shout instantly ignited the greed of all the rogue cultivators in the cave.
The crowd, who had initially been somewhat subdued, once again became fervent, rushing towards the depths of the cave.
Lu Ming watched Li Yan and the other person, who had stirred up trouble again, a cold sneer flashing in his eyes.
It seems living an extra life doesn't necessarily mean gaining more intelligence.
If his deduction was correct, there would be a good show to watch soon!
"Watch your speed, don't follow too closely," Lu Ming whispered to Chen Ziliang behind him.
"Brother Lu, are you saying..." A flicker of understanding crossed Chen Ziliang's eyes.
After the recent corpse-ghoul tide, anyone with a brain realized that the man in black was suspicious.
Where in this world are there so many kind-hearted people?
If you had a map to a place where corpses were hidden, would you kindly make it public?
You say you would?
Alright then, you can be the Leshan Giant Buddha.
So, he didn't know if there was a corpse dissolution immortal inside, but there was definitely something life-threatening.
He steered his boat, following unhurriedly, and had just dodged a hidden reef when a thunderclap suddenly struck from above.
"Hmph!"
Lu Ming's expression darkened, and he swiftly unleashed a golden blade light.
The blade light tore through the air, colliding with the thunderclap from above with a roar.
With a loud "rumble," their boat was violently rocked by the shockwave.
Amidst the splashing lightning, a light yellow figure floated directly in front of the two, his yellow Daoist robe rustling.
It was Shen Shiyuan of Longhu Mountain.
The brass ritual sword in his hand pointed obliquely at the ground, the Daoist talismans on the sword still flickering with faint lightning, clearly indicating that he had unleashed the thunderclap just now.
"Demon Subduing Nine Blades?" Shen Shiyuan raised an eyebrow, his gaze falling on Lu Ming with a hint of scrutiny, "You must be Lu Ming, right? My junior brother did not die in vain."
Lu Ming didn't respond, raising his hand to launch nine blood-colored lightning spears.
Those who act tough deserve a beating!
The lightning spears broke through the air, carrying violent spiritual energy, and shot directly towards Shen Shiyuan's face.
Before the spears even got close, the electric arcs condensed at their tips crackled, scattering the surrounding Yin energy.
He hated these pretentious show-offs the most; since they were here for revenge, there was no need for further pretense.
Shen Shiyuan's expression became extremely ugly.
How dare he fight back?
Why did he dare to fight back!!
He snorted lightly, suddenly raising the brass ritual sword in his hand, and the Daoist talismans on the sword instantly glowed golden.
The ritual sword swept across, and a golden lightning arc split from the blade, colliding with the blood-colored lightning spears.
"Bang, bang, bang!" With nine consecutive explosions, the blood-colored lightning spears shattered.
"The explosive power is indeed something, but that's all it is!" Shen Shiyuan sneered disdainfully.
Chen Ziliang watched from the side, his heart pounding, and quickly circulated his spiritual energy to stabilize the rocking boat.
He knew Lu Ming was fierce, but Shen Shiyuan was, after all, a formidable figure ranked among the top thirty on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, so the outcome of a real fight was unpredictable.
Moreover, there were two more people behind him.
But Ming Kong and the others looked completely like they were watching a show.
They were all prodigies on the Hidden Dragon Ranking; who didn't have some dignity?
Besides, if Shen Shiyuan couldn't even handle a mere third-realm brat, then so be it if he died; it would be an embarrassment to the Buddha!
"Senior Brother Shen, the main task is important!"
Ouyang Zhi, seeing that Shen Shiyuan was truly angered, kindly advised him; she didn't want to waste time in such a place.
"Hmph!"
Shen Shiyuan coldly glanced at Lu Ming, then sped towards the depths of the cave.
Ming Kong was not very interested in Lu Ming; he knew very well that the previous attack was merely a probing strike from Shen Shiyuan.
Lu Ming being able to block it didn't mean much.
He was very clear that Shen Shiyuan's stable position in the top thirty of the Hidden Dragon Ranking was not due to his Daoist techniques, but his unique talent.
However, as Ouyang Zhi passed Lu Ming, her eyes held a hint of amusement and self-satisfaction.
Lu Ming, do you understand the gap between us now?
Your limit can't even harm a single hair on others!!
A genius?
That's merely our threshold!
How can an ant shake a towering tree!
"Damn it, are they out of their minds?"
Lu Ming cursed under his breath, retracting his gaze, truly afraid he wouldn't be able to resist giving them two more shots.
They were so incredibly pretentious!
That look, that demeanor, it was as if they had already got him figured out.
Alright, alright, you win, you've won big time... Meanwhile.
After Bai Qiuyue and Luo Keke traversed a path of white bones stretching for hundreds of meters, they entered a domed hall.
This domed hall was extremely spacious, easily dozens of meters high.
On the dome, large and small luminous pearls were like countless stars, emitting a faint light that was enough to illuminate the entire hall.
The floor of the hall was paved with solid black cold jade.
The surface of the cold jade was covered with twisted runes, and the undercurrents within the cave flowed slowly along the patterns, eventually converging into a giant altar in the center of the hall.
To call it an altar was less accurate than to call it a mountain of flesh.
The altar, over nine meters high, was entirely composed of stacked blocks of flesh.
These blocks of flesh, taken from an unknown creature, were dark red in color and covered with a layer of viscous fluid, which glistened greasily under the faint light of the luminous pearls.
Thick blood vessels intertwined between the blocks of flesh, and a dark, black liquid could vaguely be seen flowing slowly within the vessels.
Each time it flowed, the mountain of flesh would subtly undulate, like a living, breathing monster.
Above the altar was a cyan stone ox, and on the ox's back rested a white jade stone coffin.
As soon as they stepped into the hall, Zhao Qingge's figure floated down from the stone coffin: "Senior Sister, you've come!"
"Sister Zhao! Why are you here!"
Luo Keke's pink hair swayed, a small head filled with great confusion.
Zhao Qingge's clear, cold eyes fell on her, and she smiled: "Why shouldn't I be here?"
"But... but..."
Luo Keke was so excited that she was momentarily speechless, not knowing what to say.
They were clearly the first ones to arrive!
Bai Qiuyue gently stroked the pink hair on her head: "Alright, Qingge comes in every year to reinforce the seal, so she naturally has other methods."
She examined the white jade coffin on the mountain of flesh, a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"The seal has loosened again; it seems the thing in the coffin isn't content to lie there forever!"
"With the Xuan Yin River as the source, the path of white bones as the guide, and the mountain of flesh as sustenance, taking the path of a corpse dissolution immortal is not that simple; in the end, you're neither human nor ghost!"
"But it doesn't matter. We'll reinforce the seal in a moment, and then have Keke destroy the Xuan Yin River, and this formation will be completelyWaste. But Junior Sister, have the fish you wanted to catch taken the bait yet?"
Bai Qiuyue's long journey here was naturally not just for reinforcing the seal.
Reinforcing the seal was one purpose.
Taking the stone ox was the second.
Killing a few Reincarnators was the third!
Whether it was pretending to value the corpse dissolution immortal or actively breaking the seal, it was all just to cooperate with Zhao Qingge in fishing.
The old monsters that the Azure Dragon Bureau couldn't catch, she would catch!
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingge's charming eyebrows sharpened slightly:
"Don't worry, Senior Sister, those old cowards will never miss any opportunity for eternal life!"
