139: Chapter 140 I’m Here to Collect You

Lu Ming saw this scene and had no intention of making another move.

"Collect all the corpses and send them to the back mountain. I have something else to do and will leave for a while."

After giving a few instructions to Zheng Qingping, Lu Ming transformed into a streak of light and fled.

Having witnessed his methods, Zheng Qingping naturally guessed what collecting the corpses was for.

So, he quickly ordered the Family members stationed in the Family land to move the corpses.

......

On the cloud boat, Huang Yuhai's Face was grim and he remained silent, while Huang Moyuan, the Family Head, behind him, hesitated to speak.

"You want to ask why I didn't act, right?"

Huang Yuhai broke the silence first, turning his head to look at Huang Moyuan.

"Yes, we paid such a high price, and several Elders even died at the hands of the Old Ancestor of Zheng Family, yet we did nothing."

It was normal for Huang Moyuan to harbor resentment.

This was the most promising opportunity to annex the Zheng Family in a hundred years.

After so much effort, and finally managing to infiltrate the Zheng Family, it all came to nothing because the Old Ancestor chickened out.

Recruiting Loose Cultivators had already cost a lot of Spirit Stones, and in the end, they gained nothing, instead losing two thousand Spirit Stones.

This was simply a disgrace!

"Alas, who would have thought that Old Devil Zheng was still alive? In truth, I, the Old Ancestor, am not afraid of death. What I fear is the Huang Family, without my protection, struggling in this Cultivation World. I, the Old Ancestor, cannot bear to see my Family members suffer."

Huang Yuhai revealed a profound weariness from enduring hardships, as well as a sense of loneliness from not being understood by his junior Family members.

Huang Moyuan felt remorse upon hearing this.

The Old Ancestor led the Huang Family to establish themselves in the Cultivation World, enduring countless hardships and grievances.

In the struggle with the Zheng Family, the Old Ancestor must have borne immense pressure!

I actually misunderstood the Old Ancestor as a coward; I deserve to die!

"Old Ancestor, I was narrow-minded. Please punish me!"

Huang Moyuan apologized sincerely.

"Eh, no need to apologize. I, the Old Ancestor, am fine."

Huang Yuhai waved his hand, quickly adjusted his emotions, and displayed a magnanimous expression.

Losing Face this time would likely diminish his prestige in the hearts of his Family members.

Making up for it like this would probably reduce some of the negative impact.

Huang Yuhai thought proudly to himself.

Seeing Little Moon Mountain already in sight, he also relaxed considerably.

Just then, high above in the sky, a massive, pitch-black Demonic Halberd heavily chopped down, splitting the cloud layer in two and heading straight for the cloud boat.

"Not good!"

Huang Yuhai was, after all, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

He reacted the instant the Demonic Halberd appeared.

He immediately took out a crimson Spiritual Artifact longsword, and with the infusion of magical power, it grew against the wind, becoming dozens of feet long, meeting the Demonic Halberd.

Clang—

A sharp, piercing clang of metal on metal rang out.

The Demonic Halberd flew back, shrinking to its normal size mid-air, and landed in the hand of a middle-aged man with a goatee.

"Who is Your Excellency, and why do you stop me!"

Huang Yuhai looked at the man with a somber expression.

Being stopped right after leaving the Zheng Family made him suspect the man's relationship with the Zheng Family.

However, he wasn't particularly nervous. Although this person was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, he was using a Magical Artifact.

"I merely came to borrow something from the Huang Family."

The middle-aged man with the goatee glanced at a notch on the blade of the Demonic Halberd and said calmly.

"What is it?"

Huang Yuhai asked in a deep voice, patiently. If he could avoid fighting, he would try his best to do so.

His Family members were right behind him, and he wouldn't be able to look after them if a fight broke out.

The middle-aged man with the goatee grinned, but what he said next enraged Huang Yuhai.

"To borrow all of your lives!"

"Audacious! Do you think you alone are my match! Your Excellency, you overestimate yourself!"

"Haha, then let's see the truth with our hands!"

The goatee-bearded Cultivator laughed heartily, brandishing his Demonic Halberd and charging forward again.

At the same time, a vision of a Bloodsea began to rise behind him, turning the sky a crimson red!

"A Demonic Cultivator!"

Huang Yuhai's Face changed, and he inwardly cursed his bad luck.

Demonic Cultivators' methods were strange and very troublesome.

He quickly sent a sound transmission to Huang Moyuan behind him.

"When the fight starts, you take the Family members back first."

"Yes, Old Ancestor!"

Huang Moyuan's expression was grave, and he had no intention of being reckless.

Their presence here would only tie the Old Ancestor's hands.

The middle-aged man with the goatee watched the departing Huang Family members without hindrance.

But the smile on his lips grew increasingly eerie and chilling.

Huang Yuhai's eyelids twitched, and he had a bad premonition.

However, the opponent had already charged before him, leaving him no time to think further.

On the other side.

Huang Moyuan led the Family members, driving the cloud boat back to the Family land at the fastest possible speed.

As long as they returned and activated the Family's grand formation, they would be safe.

"Oi!"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from the field.

Huang Moyuan and the Huang Family members looked in the direction of the sound, all showing expressions of shock.

At some point, a figure stood beside the cloud boat, scrutinizing everyone with a playful expression.

"Still running? I've come to collect you all!"

"Zheng Tianming! !"

Huang Moyuan shrieked in surprise.

He was all too familiar with that Face; he had just seen it not long ago!

He had no time to ponder why Zheng Tianming would appear here.

He only knew that something big was about to happen!

The Old Ancestor was held up by an unknown Cultivator, and now they were isolated and helpless!

"We'll fight him! As long as we hold him off until the Old Ancestor arrives, we still have a chance to survive!"

Facing the crisis of the Family's life and death, Huang Moyuan showed great courage and immediately made a decision.

There was no possibility of escaping in front of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator; now, besides fighting to the death, there was no other choice.

As long as they made a big commotion, the Old Ancestor would surely know.

If they could just hold on until the Old Ancestor was free, perhaps some Family members might still survive.

Huang Moyuan took the lead, wielding a bronze cauldron and smashing it towards 'Zheng Tianming'.

Lu Ming watched this scene indifferently.

The reason he acted against the Huang Family members was, firstly, to clear obstacles for the Zheng Family, enabling them to serve him better.

Secondly, it was for resources. With the resources of two major Families, and a large amount of blood food, the resources for him to Breakthrough to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment would probably be enough.

So, he had no intention of playing cat and mouse games; he wanted to resolve this quickly and go support his Clone.

Huang Yuhai was, after all, an experienced Foundation Establishment Cultivator; relying solely on a Clone to kill him was simply impossible.

Looking at Huang Moyuan's actions, he found them laughable.

"Ants trying to shake a tree!"

However, Lu Ming never underestimated an enemy, even if they were just a group of Qi Refining ants.

Moreover...

He opened the golden book and quickly selected [Huang Yuhai].

Then.

Blood Burning Secret Art, Five Viscera Refinement Demon True Art, activate!

Blood Qi flames began to burn around Lu Ming, and his aura showed a slight upward trend.

Although the increase was not too significant, unable to cross the chasm from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage of Qi Refining, it was better than nothing.

Their current Spells and secret arts had not yet been updated and iterated, so for now, they could only make do.

However, his actions completely bewildered the Huang Family members.

Ah, no!

Are you sick!

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator bullying those weaker was already shameless enough.

What grudge, what animosity, required you to expend your vital blood to kill us?

Do we even deserve it?

Lu Ming wouldn't pay them any mind.

The Demonic Bloodspring Method was fully activated, supporting a vast Bloodsea behind him, which enveloped the Huang Family's cloud boat.
