"There is such a thing, but then again, it was indeed very dangerous this time. It's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Liu that I was able to activate the formation so smoothly, "Shi Hou said with a frown.
The old ancestor of the Golden Savage Tribe couldn't help feeling a little resentful.
Although she did not fail to fulfill her mission and successfully activated the formation in the end, the dozen or so people she brought with her had all died in the vast desert except for herself.
"Senior Lion's Roar is overpraising me. I've only contributed my meager strength. Since the southern wilderness crisis has been temporarily resolved, I still have important things to do, so I will return to Taiqing Gate first. "After a few polite words, Liu Ming said goodbye.
He didn't belong to the southern wilderness. This time, he joined the previous operation because of some benefits promised by the Celestial phenomenon cultivators. He didn't intend to stay for a long time.
Moreover, the power of the Stemborer Tribe invasion was far beyond his imagination. The battle was even more dangerous. Even the Celestial phenomenon cultivator of the Sand Transformation Sect fell to the point where his body was destroyed. Even if he had some strength, he didn't think he could really do anything to turn the tide.
"Mister, please wait! You also know that although the Stemborer Tribe army is temporarily defeated, we have also suffered heavy losses. Now is a time of need. Can Liu consider staying for a while? I, Feng, can make the decision to double the reward that I promised you before. "Elder Feng hurriedly urged him to stay.
Lion Roar, who had seen Liu Ming's means with his own eyes, naturally nodded.
On the other side, the old ancestor of the Golden Savage Tribe was expressionless and silent.
"Junior does have a reason to return to the Sect, please forgive me. As for the reward, now that the southern wilderness is in chaos, it is better to leave it for the Alliance. "After Liu Ming got up and bowed to everyone, he still didn't intend to stay.
After this fierce battle, even if these rewards were precious, they had become a hot potato in Liu Ming's eyes. Compared with them, his own life was still more important. He had already done his best by doing this.
"Since Liu has made up his mind, then we will no longer insist on keeping you. However, don't be in a hurry to leave, come with me first. Although our sect can't be compared with the four ancient sects, we won't go back on our promise. "
"Since it's like this, then Liu Ming will respectfully accept." This time, Liu Ming only thought for a moment before finally nodding his head in agreement.
In fact, he vaguely understood that if Elder Feng and the others did not distribute the rewards now to stabilize the morale of the army, once the news spread, the alliance in Che Di Mountain would collapse on its own before the next invasion of the Borer Tribe.
After the simple hall meeting, Liu Ming followed Elder Feng and another deacon elder into the Che Di Mountain Sect's treasure pavilion.
To Liu Ming's surprise, although this Che Di Sect couldn't be compared with the ancient sects like Taiqing Gate, its treasure pavilion was still rich in treasures. Not to mention the cave, there were countless rare treasures, which made him very tempted.
However, when Elder Feng tried to persuade Liu Ming to stay again, he was flatly refused by Liu Ming.
Seeing that Liu Ming had made up his mind, he didn't say anything more.
After receiving the promised rewards, Liu Ming bid farewell to Elder Feng, left the Che Di Sect, and set out on the journey back to Taiqing Gate alone.
Outside of Che Di Mountain, Liu Ming stood on the Daiyue Flying Vessel with his blue robes fluttering in the wind, a hint of contemplation on his face.
Thinking back to the day when he entered the Evil Spirit Realm, it had been over a hundred years since he left Taiqing Gate. He wondered what the current situation of Taiqing Gate was like.
As soon as Liu Ming thought of this, familiar faces flashed across his mind.
I don't know how Jia Lan, who had an engagement, is now. Has she broken through to the Real Pellet State?
As one of Master Yin Jiuling's two direct disciples, I haven't heard from her for over a hundred years since I entered the Evil Spirit Realm, I wonder if she still remembers me?
And Eldest Senior Sister Xiaowu, after the decisive battle in the Evil Spirit Realm, has she safely returned to the Thousand Spirit Mountain Range?
What was the final situation in the Evil Spirit Realm?
…
Thousands of strands of thoughts appeared in Liu Ming's mind!
He let out a long sigh, then he urged the flying boat to gallop toward the Taiqing Sect.
A month later, over a large mortal city, a white light flashed past. It was Liu Ming who was rushing here.
However, the city that used to be bustling with activity was now in ruins. Everywhere was a mess. Regardless of whether it was the inns, shops, and other bustling places, or the government palaces, all of them were in shambles, broken walls, and ruins.
In the streets and squares, human corpses could be seen everywhere. It was a horrible sight.
It seemed that the information collected by the Southern Wilderness was correct. These stemborers not only targeted cultivators but also ordinary mortals.
Speaking of which, Liu Ming had encountered stemborers attacking human cultivators or mortals several times.
Wherever the stemborers passed, it could be said that people were plunged into misery and suffering.
Whether it was the Cultivation Sect or the mortal kingdoms, they were all spared. This was a disaster that all creatures in the Middle Sky Continent could not avoid.
Liu Ming judged that this large-scale invasion of the stemborers was by no means accidental. It didn't just happen in the Southern Wilderness, but it had spread to other places in the Middle Sky Continent.
He scanned the entire city with Divine Thought. After confirming that there was no vitality here, he shook his head slightly, made a gesture, and flew away on the flying boat.
Due to the invasion of the stemborers, many teleportation arrays along the way were destroyed, and only a small part could still be used.
…
Two months later, under an inconspicuous lake bottom, in the dense coral group, Liu Ming was searching for something.
He spent a lot of money to find a secret teleportation array. As long as he used this teleportation array, he could return to the area near Thousands Spirit Mountain. It would only take a few days to rush back to the Taiqing Gate.
Although the number of stemborers had decreased a lot after leaving the Southern Wilderness, a large group of stemborers suddenly appeared on the way back. If he took a detour, it would take at least a few months, or at most a year to return to the Sect. In this case, he didn't want to wait any longer.
So he spent a lot of spirit stones to exchange for the secret teleportation array and the materials needed for teleportation in a black market in this area.
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Liu Ming discovered an incomparably dim teleportation formation under a huge sparkling and translucent clam.
He touched his chest, took out a light green crystal stone, and slowly placed it in the groove in the center of the array.
With a "pu" sound, the spirit patterns spread and lit up like spirit snakes. Then, a large area of light blue light quickly flashed from the spirit patterns on the formation.
The water at the bottom of the lake rippled, and even the nearby corals swayed back and forth, then the lake water flowed back and forth.
Liu Ming only felt that the array under his feet trembled violently, and his vision suddenly blurred.
When he woke up, he was lying in a dark cave, surrounded by a large piece of collapsed rubble. He couldn't see where the exit was at all.
Liu Ming carefully released Divine Thought and scanned around. He confirmed that he was in the belly of a mountain, and there was a lot of spiritual power fluctuations about 10 miles away from this mountain.
These spiritual power fluctuations couldn't be more familiar; it was a group of stemborers.
But soon he breathed a sigh of relief because although there were a large number of stemborers, the leader was only 2 stemborers at the early stage of Jin Dan.
After ascertaining that there were no stemborers of a higher grade nearby, Liu Ming let loose a low roar, and the black mist around his body transformed into a series of black tentacles that repelled the nearby rubble.
"Boom", the entire mountain instantly turned into nothingness. A large amount of rubble flew in the sky, and a figure flashed out.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Ming appeared, a vast swarm of black stemborers surged toward him.
There were about a dozen of them in a densely packed formation.
At this point, he had no time to waste on these low-grade stemborers. Purple sword Qi flashed through his hand, and he unleashed his Sword Qi Manifestation Technique to kill all of the stemborers. He then activated his Che Huan totem to conceal his aura before flying into the mountain range.
With his current cultivation base, it was a simple task for him to conceal himself from these low-grade stemborers.
After flying for tens of thousands of kilometers, the stemborers he encountered became more and more frequent.
Initially, he was able to rely on Che Huan's concealment abilities and some secret techniques to easily conceal himself.
However, after flying for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, he discovered that there were even more stemborers blocking his way.
With no other choice, he could only take a detour.
......
Two days later, Liu Ming was flying at a low altitude with azure light shimmering around his body.
At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his expression was unsettled.
There were far too many stemborers along the way. Could it be that something had happened at the Taiqing Gate?
Liu Ming couldn't help but be bewildered.
Just as he was about to fly over a small mountain, he suddenly discovered that the other side of the mountain was filled with battle cries!
Liu Ming faltered upon hearing this, and he hurriedly released his spiritual sense to find several dozen Taiqing Gate disciples surrounded by an astonishing number of stemborers.
There were only 30 of these disciples, and they were led by a burly young man in a yellow robe. From his attire, it appeared that he was an elder of the Golden Summit, and his cultivation base should be at the Jin Dan Stage.
There were several dozen Golden Summit disciples beside him, but they were only at the Crystal Level.
There were close to a thousand stemborers, and they were a mixture of black and yellow. The yellow stemborers were on the outside, and the black stemborers were in the center, surrounding the Golden Summit disciples.
In front of the Golden Peak disciples who were mainly Physique Cultivators, these stemborers with cultivations ranging from the Condensation Period to the Crystallization Period didn't gain any advantage, but the leading gray Real Pellet State stemborer had firmly entangled the burly young man. The overall situation was very dangerous.
