145: Chapter 146: Blocking the Road

At this moment, the spirit ship flew over a mountain range below.

Eunuch Cao's expression suddenly changed.

"What's wrong?"

Ji Wu Li caught the expression on Eunuch Cao's face and asked, confused.

"Your Highness, something is not right. The bloody Qi in this area is too strong. Something big has probably happened below!"

Eunuch Cao said with a solemn expression, while his Divine Sense began to spread, searching for the source of the bloody Qi.

"Oh?"

Ji Wu Li's eyes lit up. Traveling had been quite boring, but now with some fun to watch, he immediately perked up.

"Have you found the location?"

Eunuch Cao's eyes glowed with spiritual light as he looked down, searching everywhere.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow and locked onto an area.

"Found it!"

"Let's go take a look!"

...Lu Ming, who had left the Huang Family and was on his way to the Zheng Family, suddenly stopped.

As his true self traveled, he had always been very cautious, so his Sensing Technique was always active.

At this moment, through the feedback from his Sensing Technique, he detected a feeling of being spied upon.

Looking in the direction from which the sensation came, he saw a massive ship approaching from the distant horizon.

Lu Ming frowned.

"Trouble!"

Lu Ming turned and left. Regardless of whether the newcomers were good or bad, he did not want to get entangled with them.

However, though he wanted to leave, a certain fun-loving person was unwilling.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay!"

Immediately, two streaks of light shot out from the ship, breaking through the air and blocking Lu Ming's path.

Lu Ming frowned as he looked, seeing that the newcomers were an old man and a young man.

Both parties were Foundation Establishment Cultivators. The young man in the brocade robe only had an Early Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, but Lu Ming could not see through the middle-aged Cultivator who looked like a eunuch.

He could only feel that this person's Aura was like an abyss, like the sea, unfathomably deep.

Lu Ming was somewhat wary. For someone whose cultivation he couldn't see through, even with his Divine Sense comparable to a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, their cultivation was either much higher than his, or they possessed an exquisite secret technique to hide their cultivation.

But Lu Ming never gambled on possibilities.

He had already begun to secretly communicate with the Puppet in his Storage Pouch.

If anything went wrong, he would immediately choose to detonate the Puppet to escape.

"Your Excellency, why are you blocking me!"

Lu Ming asked with a frown and a deep voice.

"I blocked you because I wanted to; there's no reason."

Ji Wu Li looked at Lu Ming with a gentle smile, but his words carried a hint of cynicism.

Heh, so you're putting on an act, are you?!

"Since there's nothing, I shall take my leave!"

Lu Ming was too lazy to deal with this person. After speaking, he turned to leave.

"Stop!"

Ji Wu Li shouted, and his Aura surged towards him.

Lu Ming waved his sleeve to disperse this Spiritual Pressure, and Evil Qi rose from his body as he stared coldly at Ji Wu Li.

Where did this second-generation rich kid come from? Is he sick?!

"A bit interesting! It seems you really are a Demonic Cultivator!" Ji Wu Li said with interest.

Feeling the terrifying Evil Qi on Lu Ming's body and seeing him easily block his Spiritual Pressure, Ji Wu Li raised his eyebrows, and his interest immediately grew stronger.

With Eunuch Cao by his side, he had no fear of this person.

"What, you want to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven?"

Lu Ming said mockingly. At this point, he was getting a little impatient.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't ascertain the background of the middle-aged Cultivator next to him, he would have twisted this person's head off and used it as a chamber pot long ago.

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. This Your Highness merely wishes to make your acquaintance."

Although Ji Wu Li said it with a smile, his tone was condescending.

It was as if he was saying, 'It is your honor for this Your Highness to make your acquaintance! Why aren't you hurrying over to pay your respects!'

'He really is a fool, bored out of his mind, isn't he!' Lu Ming cursed inwardly.

At this moment, in the Void Realm, the golden book had already opened.

Two names had appeared on it.

[Ji Wu Li] [Cao Chungang]

Ji surname?

It probably has an inseparable connection with the Immortal Dynasty Ji Family.

Combined with the young man's self-proclamation as 'this Your Highness' just now, Lu Ming had a guess about his identity.

Could it be some prince out for experience?

However, Lu Ming's attention was not on Ji Wu Li, but on the pale-faced, beardless middle-aged Cultivator next to him.

Cao Chungang!

His name topped the list, standing side by side with Sikong Ming!

This person was a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

Lu Ming's eyelids twitched.

Although he had many trump cards, whether it was the 'Demonic Soul Entangling Blood Silk Curse' or the Blood Blade Talisman Treasure he had recently acquired, both were enough for him to retreat safely.

But Lu Ming didn't want to reveal his trump cards here.

This annoying person had barely exchanged a few words with him before harboring ill intentions, and Lu Ming only wanted to deal with him slowly in the future.

He no longer intended to waste words with them. A gentleman does not stand under a tottering wall; it's better to escape first!

Lu Ming decisively selected a Late-Stage Qi Refinement Cultivator on the golden book.

[Zhang Wenshan]

Lu Ming couldn't quite remember who this person was; it seemed like the owner of Spirit Talisman Shop?

Who cares, everyone on the list deserves to die.

The reason for not choosing the two people in front of him was also very simple.

Such methods, unless absolutely necessary, are best not exposed in front of others.

Moreover, the Ji Imperial Family had a Golden Core Old Ancestor, and he didn't know if they would have left any means on this person.

If a single strike couldn't kill him, the fun would be immense.

Just like Li Guanqi back then, even in a situation of certain death, he was able to escape by relying on True Person Tianxing's protection.

So Lu Ming would rather be a rat in the gutter, slowly dealing with the two, than to put himself in danger for a moment's show of power.

Therefore, it was better to leave first.

Startling Swan!

This was the first time Lu Ming had used this second-order escape technique.

And the moment he activated this escape technique, all of Lu Ming's essence, Qi, and spirit ignited. He even felt a sense of great disaster descending upon him.

This was the tremor of spiritual perception brought about by the burning of Lifespan.

"Indeed, just as its name suggests, a fleeting glimpse of a startled swan!"

Extreme sublimation in exchange for breaking the limit of speed, but afterwards, certain death.

However, behind me stand countless Fellow Daoists willing to shed their blood for me.

A mere price, I fear nothing!

In a flash of thought, this feeling that made his Soul tremble quickly disappeared.

At the same time, [Zhang Wenshan] on the golden book was rapidly dimming.

"Make your acquaintance, you *! Are you even worthy?"

Then Lu Ming left only a single sentence before instantly disappearing from his original spot, reappearing several miles away.

In the field, the two were utterly bewildered.

"Did he just curse me?"

Ji Wu Li's eyes widened, a look of disbelief on his face.

Then came uncontrollable rage!

"How dare he curse me! Chase him! This Your Highness will extract his Soul and refine his spirit!!"

Saying this, Ji Wu Li was about to give chase.

However, Cao Chungang, who was beside him, held him back.

"Your Highness, don't be hasty!"

"Cao Chungang! How dare you stop me!"

Ji Wu Li looked at Eunuch Cao with a ferocious expression, his killing intent boiling.

Cao Chungang sighed inwardly.

The Evil Qi on this person's body was almost solidified. He couldn't have reached this level without killing a thousand or eight hundred people.

Although he appeared to only be an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, his spiritual perception told him that this person was very dangerous.

Once they fought, it was possible that he himself would be severely injured, or even die!

Moreover, he wasn't confident he could protect Ji Wu Li from this person.

If anything happened to Ji Wu Li, he would also be unable to escape death.

After weighing the pros and cons, he gave up the idea of chasing.

And this person had already escaped, at a speed that not only Ji Wu Li but even he himself could not match.

This idiot doesn't even consider if he can catch up.
