51: You'll get a reward if you answer correctly!

Wang Ming's Divine Sense swept over the Storage Pouch, instantly breaking through the Divine Sense imprint on it.

His Divine Sense swept through the inside of the Storage Pouch.

Wang Rima hadn't lied to him; there really was one hundred million Spirit Stones inside!

Struck it rich!

Wang Ming stored the Storage Pouch in his System space, calmed his emotions, then looked at the girl who was still diligently digging.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes!

His sole purpose for descending the mountain this time was to verify the God Devouring Art!

And the God Devouring Art, being a forbidden Cultivation Technique, absolutely must not be exposed!

Throughout this journey, not a single living person knew of his whereabouts.

This woman was no exception!

Even the slightest possibility of exposure must be nipped in the bud!

Wang Ming lightly raised a finger, and a scorched wooden stick floated up from the ground.

Just as he was about to act, suddenly, within his Divine Sense perception, a figure was rapidly approaching.

Cultivation at the second layer of Core Formation, aura somewhat unstable, likely having just had a Breakthrough.

Wang Ming's thoughts stirred, and he took out a white mask to put on his face.

The girl who was digging only felt a sense of weightlessness before she was already floating in front of Wang Ming.

Before she could react, with a bang, the stronghold's gate was violently broken open.

A figure landed in the courtyard.

Seeing the newcomer, the girl's eyes immediately lit up, "Dad!"

At that moment, she suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

A gleaming sword was pressed against the back of her neck.

Wang Ming said calmly, "If you don't want to die, you'd better not move."

The girl's delicate body stiffened.

She didn't dare move, absolutely didn't dare move!

Given her previous experience, she had no doubt that this guy would really kill her!

However, she wasn't panicked at all.

Her dad was here!

Today, she definitely wouldn't come to harm!

"I am Liu Neng, City Lord of Seven Treasures City. I have brought the one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones as you requested."

That person threw out a Storage Pouch.

Wang Ming caught it in one hand. The Storage Pouch had no Divine Sense imprint; he glanced inside and confirmed it was indeed one hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

"Your Excellency, you've received the Spirit Stones. Shouldn't you release the hostage now?" Liu Neng stared at Wang Ming, somewhat puzzled. In such a large stronghold, why was Wang Ming the only one here?

Moreover, the air was filled with an extremely thick smell of blood!

Wang Ming raised an eyebrow.

An unexpected bonus?

He stored the Spirit Stones and sized up Liu Neng, "You just said you were the City Lord of where?"

"Seven Treasures City." Liu Neng repeated, frowning, vaguely sensing something amiss.

This masked guy didn't seem to be part of the same group as the ones who kidnapped Xiaoqian?

"So it's you."

Wang Ming took off the mask, revealing his true face.

Liu Neng looked at his face, somewhat surprised.

So young!

He couldn't sense the other's Realm; there were two possibilities.

First, the other's strength far surpassed his.

Second, the other possessed a treasure that concealed Realm aura.

And the other had taken his daughter hostage the moment he arrived.

That could only mean one thing... his strength was above the other's!

Thinking this, he suddenly relaxed a lot.

Since the other's strength was inferior to his, they definitely wouldn't dare kill the hostage.

Because, that was his last and only bargaining chip!

Liu Neng smiled, "Young friend, do you know me?"

"It seems you don't remember me." Wang Ming stared at Liu Neng, a cold intent appearing in his eyes.

Hearing this, Liu Neng carefully examined Wang Ming. After a moment, he seemed to finally notice something and exclaimed in surprise, "You're Wang Tianfeng's son, Wang Ming?"

"Correct answer, there's a reward!"

Wang Ming snapped his fingers, and the qinggang sword floating behind Liu Xiaoqian suddenly slashed!

Thud!

Liu Xiaoqian's head flew off on the spot!

Blood mist sprayed!

Warm blood splattered all over Liu Neng's face.

A round object flew toward him.

He instinctively caught it.

Looking closely, it was Liu Xiaoqian's head!

"Holy shit!"

Liu Neng was startled and instinctively kicked the head away.

Because he didn't control his strength, Liu Xiaoqian's head exploded mid-air!

Only then did Liu Neng suddenly realize that what he had just kicked away was his daughter's head!

"No!!!"

"My Xiaoqian!!"

Liu Neng's old tears streamed down, his entire body trembling.

"Great shot! With that kick, you deserve to be called Golden Right Foot!"

Wang Ming clapped loudly.

"It's you! You dare kill my daughter!!!" Liu Neng glared fiercely at Wang Ming, his expression twisted.

Years ago, he had once gone to Qingzhou City to collect stability fees from the surrounding small cities.

Wang Tianfeng refused to pay, and he had taught Wang Tianfeng a harsh lesson.

Even Wang Tianfeng had to speak with his head lowered in front of him.

A mere junior actually dared to kill his daughter right in front of him!

He laughed in anger, "Good, very good! Wang Tianfeng really raised a fine son, commendable courage!"

"Little brat, I won't kill you today. I'll keep you alive to witness how I slaughter your entire Wang family!" Liu Neng roared.

"Finished talking?" Wang Ming pointed at Liu Neng, and instantly, his Divine Sense transformed into an invisible giant hand, grabbing Liu Neng.

"You... how is this possible?!"

Liu Neng was both shocked and furious. Wang Ming's Divine Sense didn't allow him even a sliver of resistance!

How the hell did he Cultivate this?!

"Since you're done talking, it's time to go." A flash appeared in Wang Ming's eyes as the Divine Sense giant hand slowly tightened.

"Wait! Nephew, this is a misunderstanding!" Liu Neng quickly begged for mercy.

Wang Ming found it amusing, "I just killed your daughter. Are you sure this is just a misunderstanding?"

"You only cut off her head; her body is still there, so it doesn't count as killing." Liu Neng's face turned red with effort before he managed to say this.

Wang Ming clenched his fist, and Liu Xiaoqian's headless body was instantly crushed.

"How about now?"

Liu Neng: "..."

"Must I die today?" he said with a grim expression.

Wang Ming beckoned, and Liu Neng immediately floated in front of him.

"You want to live?"

"Yes!"

Liu Neng nodded emphatically!

Joking aside, who in their right mind would want to die?

Wang Ming pondered for a moment, then said, "Hand over your soul blood. From now on, become a servant of my Wang family."

Liu Neng's face darkened. Although extremely unwilling, to save his life, he obediently handed over his soul blood.

Wang Ming integrated the soul blood into his Sea of Consciousness. Instantly, he felt that Liu Neng's life and death were entirely at his whim.

Only then did he release his restraint on Liu Neng.

"Liu Neng pays respects to Master!" Liu Neng was very quick on the uptake, immediately kneeling respectfully on the ground.

"I want you to gather some Cultivators with powerful Divine Sense. Every month, I will come to you." Wang Ming said calmly.

The effect of the God Devouring Art could be described as Heaven-Defying.

But he couldn't personally descend the mountain to act every time.

Not only would it waste time, but it would also be extremely easy to expose.

He needed a chef to prepare the dishes for him, and he... would only be responsible for eating!

This was also why he didn't directly devour Liu Neng.

"Yes!" Although Liu Neng didn't understand why Wang Ming made such a request, his life was entirely at Wang Ming's whim now, so he could only accept his fate and obey the command.

Wang Ming nodded and was about to speak.

At that moment, a golden pillar of light suddenly appeared in the pitch-black night sky, descending from the heavens and landing in a distant city!
