104: Foundation Building

Upon hearing this, Wang Shi's heart was immediately filled with dread.

“They really came for me!”

He hadn't expected them to find him so quickly, and their methods were so strange that he had no power to resist.

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Shi plopped to his knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

“I'll tell you, I'll confess everything. It was the owner of Spirit Talisman Shop who ordered it, and also those few from Green Talisman Abode. Senior, I was wrong, I was blinded by greed, please don't kill me.”

Feeling the rapid loss of his life force and Qi and blood, Wang Shi no longer dared to be stubborn, spilling everything out like pouring beans.

He was filled with immense regret, thinking how foolish he had been to get involved in such troublesome matters.

He had been cautious his whole life, yet today he had fallen here.

However, he still held onto a sliver of hope. Although his cultivation was not high, he was still a person of the Immortal City, and had many friends. If he disappeared, people would surely notice.

The other party should consider the consequences of killing someone, right?

However, his idea was destined to fall through.

Lu Ming had gotten the answer he wanted, so he had no interest in listening to him further.

Ignoring Wang Shi, who was still begging for mercy, he turned and left.

Wang Shi saw that this person had not killed him, but had chosen to spare him, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

But after sensing the terrible condition of his body, Wang Shi's face instantly turned pale.

At this moment, his Meridians and Dantian were riddled with holes, and his magical power was still continuously draining away.

Moreover, the other party had used some unknown method, and his Qi and blood had also dried up.

Not only was his Dao path completely severed, but his Lifespan was also cut in half!

“Damn it!”

This person was too ruthless, destroying his Dao path. This was an irreconcilable hatred.

Wang Shi's eyes immediately turned vicious.

Moreover, this person's methods were definitely not those of a proper Cultivator; he was most likely a Demonic Cultivator.

He was powerless to seek revenge, but he could report this matter!

The Immortal City hated Demonic Cultivators very much, preferring to kill the wrong person than let one go.

Once the Immortal City uprooted Ink Talisman Pavilion and killed this person, he would not only get his revenge but also have no more worries.

However, just as he was still fantasizing about the pleasure of revenge, the devouring force from before suddenly intensified.

“Ugh…”

Wang Shi's eyes widened, wanting to cry for help, but his throat seemed to be clutched by an invisible hand, unable to make a sound.

He watched helplessly as he became emaciated, his consciousness finally sinking into Chaos, never to awaken again.

In the small courtyard, only a weathered skeleton lay on the ground, and as the night wind blew, it scattered and disappeared.

...

“Too weak!”

In the tavern, Lu Ming looked at the golden book in front of him, several names on it had already disappeared.

Wang Shi was just one of them; he hadn't let go of anyone who slandered Ink Talisman Pavilion.

Now that he was at the Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level, activating his Cultivation Technique secret art, a few Qi Refining Middle Stage Cultivators combined couldn't withstand him for more than a few breaths.

Moreover, under various side effects, they couldn't even keep their bones. Killing people, plundering, and destroying all traces was simply too easy.

“Since I know who the mastermind is, I'll take care of them all at once!”

Although doing so might cause some panic and attract the attention of the Immortal City, Lu Ming couldn't swallow this insult.

“I'll get my revenge from morning till night. At worst, I'll just abandon this identity!”

Lu Ming planned to directly dispatch the Puppet to Spirit Talisman Shop and a few other Talismans shops, kill everyone, then loot the shops clean, and then he would abandon his Han Feiyu identity.

Not wanting to delay, Lu Ming got up to pay the bill and leave, intending to implement his plan after returning to his Immortal Cave.

Dealing with a few small fries just now was harmless, but the owners of those few shops wouldn't be so easy to take down.

Unscrupulously activating a Demonic Technique outside was still too risky.

However, Lu Ming, who was about to leave, suddenly paused.

The golden book, which had just closed, opened again, and on the page for Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a name had already appeared.

“Helian Cheng”

“A Foundation Establishment Cultivator!”

Lu Ming's face darkened.

He had never heard of this person, but he suddenly appeared on the list for unknown reasons.

“I wonder who he's targeting.”

Lu Ming was a little worried. His main body was currently outside. Although the possibility of him being targeted was small, Lu Ming couldn't guarantee it.

Although he was currently unparalleled in combat power and wouldn't flinch when truly facing a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even if he would likely lose, he could still escape and preserve his life.

But doing so would expose too much.

Quickly calming himself down, Lu Ming was about to think of a countermeasure.

Suddenly, his expression changed, and his consciousness shifted to the Puppet that had just left Wang Shi's residence.

At this moment, the Puppet Han Feiyu was walking towards the tavern where his main body was, intending to rendezvous with his main body.

However, he hadn't walked far before he paused.

A sound of breaking air exploded in the silent night sky.

From far to near, the speed was so fast that people couldn't react.

By the time the sound was heard, it had already arrived.

Boom!

A violent explosion sounded, reverberating in all directions.

The impact of the explosion stirred up a large amount of dust, and some surrounding buildings were also shattered by the impact.

Immediately after, a gust of wind swept up, dispersing the smoke and dust.

Revealing the scene behind.

With the explosion as the center, an area of several meters had already become a deep pit, and the surrounding ground was covered with cracks.

However, Han Feiyu's figure did not appear in the center of the deep pit. Instead, there was a silver-white cloud-patterned immortal crane Pill Furnace several feet high.

And then.

The Pill Furnace soared into the sky, breaking through the air towards the inner city.

“Spiritual Artifact! As expected, it's a fat sheep, hehehe...”

In mid-air, a black shadow looked at this scene, letting out a strange cry.

The reason he had targeted Lu Ming was that he kept a treasure-hunting spirit mouse, which, with its keen sense of smell, could search for all resources and treasures containing spirituality nearby.

Encountering Lu Ming was just a coincidence. The treasure-hunting spirit mouse, after smelling the exaggeratedly rich spirituality on Lu Ming's body, gradually became somewhat frantic.

The spirit mouse's abnormality also attracted his attention. How wealthy must this person be to make the treasure-hunting spirit mouse lose its composure like this!

Later, after discovering that Lu Ming's exposed aura was merely that of a Qi Refining minor Cultivator, he decisively made his move.

Looking at the flying cloud crane Pill Furnace, his eyes became greedy and fervent.

With the vibration of his magical power, he transformed into a black light and rapidly chased after it.

The two sides chased and fled, and in this process, the black shadow constantly tried to intercept the cloud crane Pill Furnace ahead.

Various Spells poured down like a torrent, landing on the cloud crane Pill Furnace.

The collision sounds they made vibrated into tangible ripples, exploding into rounds of five-colored magical power aftershocks in the night sky.

However, although the Pill Furnace was knocked askew, it remained resilient, continuing to rush towards the inner city without stopping.

And this commotion immediately attracted many Cultivators who were outside to stop and watch.

However, as the vast magical power aftershocks swept over, it immediately caused some weaker Cultivators to feel their Qi and blood surge chaotically, with blood oozing from their mouths and noses.

Some Cultivators immediately felt uneasy, and seeing this scene, they were even more frightened out of their wits, no longer daring to watch the excitement, scattering in all directions.

At this moment, they wished they had more legs, fearing that if they ran too slowly, they would be shaken to death by the aftershocks.

And among them, some Cultivators recalled unpleasant things.

Again?

It's always Foundation Establishment Cultivators fighting!

Is there no law anymore!

This Immortal City is completely chaotic!
