211: Startled, they fled!

The commotion just now was a bit too big. I'm afraid people will come to investigate later, so let's leave first!

After putting all the gifts from the Cultivators into the Storage Pouch, Lu Ming flipped his palm and took out a palm-sized white jade small boat.

This was the second Magic Treasure seized from Lu Chengfeng, and after several months of refinement by Lu Ming, he had completely mastered it.

Unlike the difficult sunfall longbow, which only powerful Cultivation could subdue.

The white jade spirit boat was mercenary, treating every Cultivator the same; as long as it was supplied with enough magical power, it could run itself ragged.

Lu Ming looked at a translucent crystal embedded in a groove at the front of the spirit boat. It was suffused with extremely rich and pure Spiritual Qi. This was a High-Grade Spirit Stone!

With so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators dying by his hand, even if High-Grade Spirit Stones were rare, he had managed to collect a few, and now was the perfect time to use one.

"With this High-Grade Spirit Stone as an energy source, the white jade spirit boat can burst out speed comparable to the Golden Core level. Even if I truly encounter a Golden Core True Person chasing me one day, even if I can't resist, I'll have a sliver of hope to save my life!"

The Golden Core True Person had always been like a great mountain pressing down on Lu Ming's heart, which was why his true body never dared to wander recklessly.

But if even a Golden Core True Person couldn't catch him, then that would be true freedom and great unrestraint!

What? You say I can't beat a Golden Core?

Whether I can beat them or not, they can't catch me. If they can't catch me, I haven't died. If I haven't died, I haven't lost. If I haven't lost, it's a tie. Therefore, it's perfectly reasonable for me, Lu Ming, to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with a Golden Core True Person!

Lu Ming's eyes held a hidden smile. He tossed the small boat into the air, where it grew against the wind, transforming into a cloud boat radiating brilliant Spiritual light.

"It's time to go."

The white jade spirit boat soared into the heavens, turning into a stream of white-gold light, instantly vanishing into the horizon.

Lu Ming sat on the flying boat, gazing at the golden book slowly unfolding in the Void Realm before him.

Looking at the name listed under Foundation Establishment Perfection, Lu Ming curled his lip.

"This Great Enshrinement Moyuan is a little weak!"

Moyuan, the Great Enshrinement of the Ji Imperial Family, enjoyed a formidable reputation in the Southern Wilderness Region!

Lu Ming didn't even need the intelligence network of the Golden Phoenix Listening Rain Pavilion to know his identity.

It's just that he had been hiding for several months, yet the other party never showed up.

"Should I fish one more time before returning to Heavenly Star Immortal City?"

Looking at the name on the golden book, Lu Ming began to ponder.

Now he was terrifyingly inflated; he dared to bare his teeth even if a Golden Core Ancestor showed up.

Of course, that was all. Direct confrontation was impossible; he wasn't stupid.

But just a Foundation Establishment Perfection?

"Hmph!" Lu Ming sneered disdainfully. "What a joke!"

If the opponent appeared, he would conveniently take another Foundation Establishment Perfection blood bag.

If he didn't come, he would just return home.

Thinking of this, Lu Ming swaggered into various market towns, staying for two days before moving on to the next location, maintaining his aura at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment level the entire time.

Perhaps this arrogant behavior was too eye-catching, because within two days, someone sought him out.

That day, Lu Ming had just left a market town and was walking through a desolate mountain range when he was intercepted by an old man.

The old man was gaunt, his face sinister, and the fluctuation of Spiritual Power emanating from his body was clearly that of Foundation Establishment Perfection.

"Fellow Daoist, this Old Man has been searching for you for quite some time!" A hoarse voice sounded. Moyuan scrutinized the person before him condescendingly, his expression arrogant.

"Could you please give me an explanation as to why all the members of my Imperial Family who sought you out have disappeared?"

"If Fellow Daoist cannot provide a satisfactory explanation, you will have to suffer a bit!"

The words were calm and indifferent, but the impatience revealed within them was hard to conceal.

He had wasted too much time trying to catch this pest!

Not only did it delay his own Cultivation, but it also caused dissatisfaction from the Imperial Family.

Lu Ming stopped and looked at Moyuan. Instead of the expected panic, he chuckled lightly, his voice laced with mockery: "Are the people of your Ji Imperial Family only capable of repeating that same line?"

"Arrogant!" Moyuan was enraged by the mockery. "You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Once this Old Man captures you, I will surely make your life worse than death!"

He flipped his withered hand, and a jet-black, gleaming chain covered in runes shot out like a viper, leaving trails of afterimages as it went straight for Lu Ming's vital points, intending to bind and capture him.

However, facing this fierce strike, Lu Ming neither dodged nor retreated. He merely raised his hand and swept it across his Storage Pouch.

Buzz!

A scorching aura suddenly spread out, as if a miniaturized great sun had descended upon this place.

In Lu Ming's hand, there was now a longbow of ancient design, entirely flowing with crimson-gold light.

The bow itself emitted a heart-stopping pressure!

The moment this object appeared, Moyuan's originally ferocious angry expression was instantly replaced by extreme horror, and his forward momentum ground to an abrupt halt.

His eyes widened into circles, and he screamed: "The sunfall longbow! This is the sunfall longbow! How did Qingxuan Old Ghost's Magic Treasure end up in your hands?!"

Clearly, Moyuan recognized the item and knew the terror of this treasure well.

"Wait! You're backed by the Qingxuan Sect!"

With his mind racing, and connecting it to the recent turmoil in the Immortal Dynasty, Moyuan suddenly understood the whole story!

This was the Qingxuan Sect's conspiracy! Starting with the curse killing of the Third Prince, Ji Wuli, this was all a trap!

They deliberately lured the Ji Imperial Family to seek revenge, and then secretly killed the dispatched Foundation Establishment Cultivators, thereby achieving the goal of clipping their wings and reducing the combat power of their Imperial Family!

Lu Ming seemed like nothing more than a discarded pawn, but in reality, he was the true sharp sword used for killing!

That's right! It must be this way!

Otherwise, how could the sunfall longbow be explained appearing in this man's hands!

Could he have stolen it? What a joke!

Understanding all this, Moyuan didn't hesitate in the slightest. His figure immediately retreated violently, turning into a streak of gray light and fleeing rapidly.

He had absolutely no intention of fighting him!

Are you kidding? This person wielded a Magic Treasure aggressively; he was simply invincible!

Although the Imperial Decree could not be disobeyed, his life was his own!

Besides, his master was a Golden Core True Person of the Imperial Family, not that Puppet Emperor.

Moreover, as long as he reported his findings, he might not be punished, but actually rewarded!

Thinking all this through, he ran even faster.

However, his running away completely stumped Lu Ming.

"How can a majestic great Cultivator at Foundation Establishment Perfection be such a coward!" Lu Ming curled his lip, speechless.

"However..."

Lu Ming noticed Moyuan's recent words.

"The Qingxuan Sect, huh..."

His eyes darted around; a mischievous idea was forming.

"Since that's the case, I might as well make this true!"

Lu Ming chuckled lightly. A flash of Spiritual light appeared beneath his feet, and a spirit boat shining with white jade spirit light materialized out of thin air.

He stepped onto the spirit boat, and as he channeled his Magical power, the boat instantly turned into a white streak, catching up to him not far behind within a few breaths.
