Thinking of this, Liu Ming frowned.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and a name flashed through his mind.
It was the young master of the Blood-vine Clan, Xue Long.
He remembered that Qian Ruping and this woman had hit it off quite well. They had even gone to the Blood-vine Clan to learn their totem secret technique. This woman might know where Ye Tianmei and the others were.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming's body flashed with green light, and he turned into an invisible escape light that flew toward the Blood-vine Clan's Langye Mountain.
The Blood-vine Clan's Langye Mountain was not very far from Luo City. With Liu Ming's speed, it did not take long for him to arrive.
The Langya Mountain Range was made up of towering peaks that reached into the clouds. These peaks formed a ring that surrounded the central region.
In the middle of the mountain, there were many blood-colored giant trees. The shortest was hundreds of meters tall, and countless pavilions were built on the giant trees. Mist lingered around them, making it seem like a paradise.
Most of the buildings followed the rough style of the Wild Continent, but it was clear that there were also some human architectural styles mixed in.
However, the most eye-catching thing here was naturally the largest blood-colored ancient tree in the center.
The ancient tree was close to a hundred thousand feet tall, slightly taller than the surrounding mountains, so it was extremely eye-catching. There were quite a few buildings on the thick tree trunk, and there were groups of beasts in the attire of the Blood Vine Clan patrolling around from time to time.
At this moment, Liu Ming was standing in front of the giant blood-colored tree in stealth. He looked at the scene in front of him with a surprised expression.
It was his first time coming to Langye Mountain. He did not expect the Blood-vine Clan to look like this.
He shook his head and spread out his divine sense. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire giant tree, and he began to investigate.
After a while, Liu Ming's face lit up with joy. His figure flashed, and he disappeared on the spot.
…
Near the top of the giant blood-colored tree, there was a very unique two-story building.
In a secret room in the building, water mist lingered and a fragrance wafted. A girl with loose hair was sitting cross-legged in a red bucket. The bucket was filled with light green water.
The girl had red lips and white teeth. Although she was not as beautiful as Yaoji, she was still delicate and lovely.
At this moment, more than half of her body was submerged in the water, revealing only her exquisite collarbone and half of her chest.
This woman was the young master of the Blood Vine Clan, Xue Long.
Xue Long's eyes were closed and her body was emitting a faint blood-red light. The green water in the wooden barrel was slowly swirling around her. The water gradually turned colorless.
A moment later, Xue Long opened her eyes and flew out of the barrel.
A red blur then flashed over her body, and she put on a red dress. Her hair was also tied up with a ribbon, and she had regained her heroic appearance.
She had just come out of the shower and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Miss Xue Long, it has been so many years since we last met. To think that your cultivation base has already advanced to the late-phase of Celestial Phenomenon. Looks like I only need to spend a few more days to advance to the Profound Understanding realm. Congratulations! " At that moment, a voice rang out. The space in the secret room rippled, and a green figure appeared out of thin air.
"Who are you? How dare you!" Xue Long's expression changed, and without hesitation, she slammed her palm toward the green figure.
A large amount of blood-red light coiled around her palm, twisting in the air like vines. In an instant, it turned into a giant blood-red python that was more than 30 meters long. It opened its mouth wide to bite.
"Miss Xue Long, it is me." The green figure stretched out his hand and a black light touched the top of the Blood Python's head. The Blood Python's body immediately stopped in mid-air.
As he spoke, the green light on the figure's body dissipated, and Liu Ming's figure appeared.
"It's you, Liu Ming!"
Xue Long was startled to see that this person had easily stopped her Blood Python Secret Technique. She was about to attack again, but when she saw Liu Ming's face, she blurted out in surprise.
"Yes, it is me. I have come here to ask you something, and I have no ill intentions. You and I are acquaintances, so there is no need for Fellow Xue Long to use a secret technique to communicate with outsiders, "Liu Ming said indifferently as he glanced at Xue Long's left hand.
Her left hand was holding a blood-red ring, and it seemed as if she was about to crush it.
Xue Long's expression changed. She hadn't expected that Liu Ming's eyes would be so sharp that he had even noticed this small movement.
She raised her eyebrows and opened her left hand. A smile appeared on her face, and she was about to speak.
But then she seemed to think of something. Her face turned red and she hesitantly said in a low voice,
She hesitantly whispered, "When did you come here? Did you see …"
She had just come out of the wooden tub. If Liu Ming had come here earlier, he would have seen her naked body.
"I just arrived here. What are you trying to see?" Liu Ming asked with a strange expression.
In fact, he had already arrived here a long time ago. With a sweep of his divine sense, he had discovered Xue Long's aura in the secret room. However, he had only examined her briefly before withdrawing his divine sense. He had no intention of peeking at her.
When Xue Long saw that Liu Ming's expression was calm and did not seem to be lying, she let out a sigh of relief.
"It's nothing." She waved her hand, and the blush on her face quickly disappeared. Her expression quickly returned to normal.
Xue Long looked Liu Ming up and down, and a trace of surprise gradually appeared on her face.
Xue Long raised her eyebrows and pretended to be angry. "I don't know what kind of fortuitous encounter you had, but you have now advanced to the Metaphysic Realm and can sneak into my secret room."
Liu Ming smiled and said, "I don't want to attract the attention of others from the Blood Vine Clan, so I had no choice but to do this. I hope Fellow Xue Long won't blame me."
"Hmph, since you used to refine pills for me, I won't argue with you about the crime of trespassing. However, I won't call you Senior. Come with me. "Xue Long snorted, stood up, and walked out of the secret room.
A helpless smile appeared on Liu Ming's face as he followed.
The two of them sat down in a living room. Although Xue Long's temper was a little unruly, she did not lack etiquette. She casually poured a cup of spirit tea for Liu Ming.
"Thank you, Lady Xue Long." Liu Ming smiled and thanked her.
"Hmph! From your expression, it seems that you have been living well these past few years. Tell me honestly, for the past few hundred years, you have abandoned Sister Tian Mei and Ruping in Luo City. Where have you been secretly enjoying yourself? "Xue Long snorted and said angrily. Her tone was like that of an elder lecturing a junior.
Liu Ming knew her personality well, so he did not take it to heart. Instead, his face lit up.
From her tone, it seemed that his guess was correct. Xue Long should know where the two women had been over the past few years.
"These past few years, I have indeed had a strange experience. However, it involves some of my privacy, so it is inconvenient for me to disclose it. This time, I have come to ask Lady Xue Long about Tian Mei and Ruping. They seem to have left the Small Huan Garden a long time ago. Does Lady Xue Long know where they are now? "Liu Ming cupped his hands and asked.
Xue Long raised her eyebrows when she heard this. She seemed a little displeased and said in a cold tone:
"In the past, you left a message to go to the Dead Sea. Then, you disappeared without a trace. In order to find you, Sister Tian Mei and the others went to the dangerous Dead Sea Zone for more than ten years. I don't know how much they suffered. I don't know what happened to you, but isn't it a little irresponsible? "
Liu Ming's expression changed and became a little sad. He sighed and said:
"This is indeed my fault. However, Liu Ming had no choice at that time. Please forgive me, Lady Xue Long."
"Fellow Xue Long, please tell me the whereabouts of Tian Mei and Ruping. This is a small apology from me. Please accept it." Liu Ming cupped his hands and pondered for a moment. He flipped his hand and after a flash of green light, an emerald green inner armor appeared in his hand.
This inner armor seemed to be made of emerald. It looked exquisite and full of spirituality. There were a dozen thumb-sized white gems inlaid on it. It looked quite gorgeous and dazzling.
This inner armor was a magic weapon of high grade that he had snatched from a Demon Race. Not only was its defensive power quite good, but its appearance was also quite gorgeous.
Xue Long's eyes fell on the green inner armor and her eyes suddenly lit up.
With her eyesight, she could naturally see that this inner armor was an excellent defensive magic weapon. However, more importantly, there were a dozen white gems on it. They shone brightly and were dazzling.
She did not intend to make things difficult for Liu Ming. It was just that she was a little angry about Liu Ming's disappearance for so long. Now that she saw that he seemed to be hiding something and had given her a big gift, her anger was almost gone.
"Alright, for the sake of this treasured armor, it's not like I can't tell you." Xue Long quickly took the inner armor from Liu Ming's hand and looked at it carefully for a while before reluctantly putting it away.
Liu Ming smiled faintly. He did not know where he heard that women had no resistance to glittering things. Today he tried it and it was true.
"Back then, Sister Tian Mei and the others couldn't find you, so they stayed with the Blood Dragon Clan. Our clan doesn't have much conflict with human cultivators, and Sister Ruping is a formation master. My mother naturally treated them with great respect …"
"… For so many years, Sister Tian Mei has been looking for you everywhere, but she still believes that you are still alive. She must have some difficulties. A few decades ago, Sister Tian Mei was finally able to summon the Heaven and Earth Manifestation and advanced to the Celestial State. After that, she said goodbye to mother and took sister Ruping to the Middle Sky Continent to find you. "Xue Long said slowly.
Liu Ming's expression changed and he sighed in his heart. He did not expect that the two of them would leave for the Middle Sky Continent instead of waiting for him.
He actually missed the chance to meet the two women.
When he left, the Middle Sky Continent was invaded by the Moth Clan. Even the Moth Mother, who was at the Eternal Life Realm, broke through the void and arrived. He did not know what the situation was now.
"So that's how it is. Thank you for telling me." As soon as Liu Ming thought of this, he could not help but feel a little anxious. He quickly stood up and said goodbye.
"There are only 20 years before the next sea crossing ship sets sail. If you want to go back to the Middle Sky Continent to find them, you might as well stay in Luo City for a while." Perhaps it was the effect of the green inner armor, Xue Long's attitude towards Liu Ming was obviously much friendlier.
"Thank you, Xue Long." Liu Ming smiled and nodded slightly. He waved his hand and a faint green light appeared on his body. The next moment, he disappeared from the hall.
Seeing this, Xue Long's expression changed slightly. Her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.
Liu Ming's aura disappeared without a trace in an instant. She could not even detect the slightest spiritual power fluctuation generated by Liu Ming through the layers of enchantments in the attic.
Xue Long secretly spat out her tongue. She did not expect that Liu Ming's strength had reached such a level. She was afraid that even the highest cultivation in the clan, Elder Tong Xuan, or even her mother, could not achieve this.
However, she was free and easy by nature. She would not spend too much time on this kind of thing that she could not figure out. Soon, this thought was far away from her mind.
She walked into another secret room and took out the green inner armor artifact with a flip of her hand. Then, she flipped through it happily.
