He was a good person, but his ending was tragic.

According to the Original Owner's memories, he was set up simply because the person behind the scenes wanted to plunder and snatch his Opportunity ahead of time.

Then why were these two assigned?

Could it be that these two also have good Luck?

Zhou Ziming carefully searched through his memories.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Ziming was somewhat surprised.

In previous lives, although these two died while hunting demons with him...

...there was a point worth noting.

On one hand, these two were truly good people.

On the other hand, it was only after the demon in Xiangyang City ate them that its strength skyrocketed.

"Hmm, so, these two have special Physiques?"

Zhou Ziming looked at them, his gaze full of scrutiny.

The two felt their skin crawl under Zhou Ziming's gaze.

"Um, Junior Brother Zhou, why are you looking at us like that?"

Zhou Ziming waved his hand.

"I just wanted to ask, have you had any opportunities lately?"

The two looked at each other, then hesitated.

Zhou Ziming already had the answer in his heart.

"Alright, if it's inconvenient, you don't have to say. I don't have anything to pack anyway, let's head out directly to complete the Sect mission!"

After speaking, Zhou Ziming directly summoned his Flying Sword.

Then he stepped onto the Flying Sword, starting to control it—sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

After fumbling around several times, he finally stabilized at a certain speed.

Seeing Zhou Ziming's performance, the two Disciples immediately became worried.

"This... he's not even familiar with the Sword Kinesis Technique. This demon-slaying mission..."

One of them was very worried.

The other shook his head.

"Junior Brother Zhou has been in the Sect for less than three months. Being able to Cultivate to this level is already not easy. Even if there is real danger, we'll just have to put in more effort then!"

The person nodded.

Then, they also took to their Flying Swords and soon caught up with Zhou Ziming's pace.

——————

After the three left the Sect, atop Xiao Jiang Peak of the Huan Ling Sect, a woman stared intently in the direction they had departed.

Beside the woman, a Black-Robed Man also followed.

"They have left!" the woman said.

The Black-Robed Man's voice was processed and somewhat deep.

"Mhm, this is just the normal start of the plan!"

But the woman's brow quirked up.

"Does this person really possess the Technique of Great Luck as you say?"

The Black-Robed Man nodded.

"Very certain, and I have verified it over a long period of time!"

The woman narrowed her eyes.

"Since he is a Person of Great Luck, why don't we just Cultivate him directly instead of exploiting and plundering his Opportunity?"

The Black-Robed Man sneered.

"You probably don't know what Great Luck represents!"

"The so-called Great Luck is only his personal Luck, and anyone associated with a Person of Great Luck will not have a good end."

"At best, they suffer constant bad Luck; at worst, their families are ruined and they perish!"

"Especially women; any involvement with a Person of Great Luck will cloud their minds. Moreover, People of Great Luck are extremely selfish. It's right for him to kill you, but wrong for you to kill him!"

The woman listened, dumbfounded.

"According to what you're saying, his Luck is obtained by absorbing our Luck?"

"And really, any involvement leads to no good end?"

The man shook his head.

"Not necessarily. If a woman becomes part of the Person of Great Luck's harem, it might be an Opportunity. But she would have to serve him along with other women, and even end up sharing one big bed!"

Hearing this, the woman was instantly disgusted.

"In the world of Dao cultivation, it's normal for men to have several wives and concubines, but what you're describing is psychological perversion!"

But there was one thing the woman didn't quite understand.

"Why are you so clear about this?"

The Black-Robed Man was silent for a moment, then said, "Because I have seen it!"

The woman instantly became interested. "Oh? Have you seen it, or experienced it?"

The Black-Robed Man clearly didn't want to say more on the matter.

"Don't worry about that. Anyway, you just need to know that intercepting his Opportunity will weaken his Luck. But you also need to give him some trivial Opportunity so as not to suffer backlash or let him advance too far ahead!"

The woman said nothing.

The Black-Robed Man smiled again and said, "You don't believe me?"

The woman crossed her arms.

"What you're saying is far too fantastical. How can I believe it?"

The Black-Robed Man spoke again: "I know you don't believe it, which is why I had you arrange for two people to go with him. Just wait and see; those two will surely die, while Zhou Ziming will return alive!"

The woman still said nothing, but waited to see!

...Back to Zhou Ziming's side.

Because they were using Flying Swords, the three of them soon arrived at Xiangyang City.

Along the way, Zhou Ziming spent his time looking at the scenery.

Even after arriving in Xiangyang City, Zhou Ziming was exploring the city with curiosity.

Zhou Ziming was not flustered at all because he now had strength and the gourd was constantly Cultivating on its own.

It's worth mentioning that Zhou Ziming had intentionally come into contact with the light orbs in front of these two.

But these two didn't notice a thing.

To this end, Zhou Ziming even secretly observed any subtle expressions on their faces.

Only after confirming that they truly couldn't discover the secret of the dust cleansing gourd did he put away his killing intent.

Of course, these two weren't worried about the mission either.

Because they had done such missions many times.

You could say they were old hands.

However, Zhou Ziming's lack of worry made them very curious.

"Junior Brother Zhou has a good mindset!"

One of them said with a smile.

Zhou Ziming responded with a smile.

"Before I started Cultivating, I was in the military!"

Then it dawned on them.

"So that's it! A soldier's experience is no worse than us outer Sect Disciples!"

The other person's favorable impression of Zhou Ziming increased further.

"Junior Brother Zhou also fought his way out of the army? Me too, but I fought my way out of the Vanguard Camp. What about you?"

Zhou Ziming said truthfully, "I fought my way out of the Sharp Sword Team of the Liberation Camp!"

The man was dumbfounded.

"Liberation Camp? What kind of camp is that?"

Zhou Ziming explained solemnly, "You can understand it as a special branch of the military, the kind with a non-disclosure agreement."

Instantly, the man looked at Zhou Ziming with some admiration.

Because military branches with non-disclosure agreements are all full of tough characters.

Although he hadn't heard of the Liberation Camp, he could feel a soldierly aura from Zhou Ziming.

That couldn't be faked.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ziming looked at the two and fell into thought.

Truly, these two were quite decent.

Knowing he didn't have any Mortal silver, the two unconditionally paid for all food and drink along the way.

Although Mortal wealth was as much as a Cultivator could want...

...the kindness emanating from them was not fake.

Zhou Ziming even felt that these two were a bit foolish.

Their arrival immediately made the beggars rich, and they distributed money whenever they saw a pitiful elderly person.

Now, the whole of Xiangyang City knew that two Wealth-distributing boys had arrived..."}],
