Although Liu Ming didn't know the reason, he unconsciously wanted to keep his distance from this "Senior Ye".
After all, there was an even more mysterious bubble in his body. If he was discovered by a Crystal Level Cultivator, he didn't know what the consequences would be.
Although it was unknown whether the bubble was a blessing or a curse, it was able to purify magic power and pull one's divine sense into a mysterious space. It was definitely an item of great origin. Naturally, he couldn't let a second person know about it.
However, although he didn't get what he really wanted from Ye Tianmei this time, with her Sword Cultivation experience, he wouldn't have to take many detours in the future whether it was condensing his own Sword Spirit Embryo or practicing a Sword Cultivation Method.
After all, the Great Symbol Sword Technique in his hands was really too mysterious. Moreover, apart from the specific cultivation method, there were no records of understanding it.
Now that he had Ye Tianmei's Sword Cultivation experience and a messy collection of related books from the market, he should be able to smoothly step onto the path of a Sword Cultivator.
One had to know that Liu Ming was extremely envious of the true Flying Sword Technique. Now that he had the opportunity to practice this method, he naturally wouldn't give it up.
The only problem was that the Great Tungsten Steel he needed to condense the Great Symbol Sword Embryo was actually a top quality material for forging Flying Swords. It seemed that normal methods were not able to obtain it and he could only find it through some special means.
This time, he had contributed a lot in the competition with the Sea Race. Master Lei wasn't stingy and gave him a few bottles of Spirit Pills and three thousand Contribution Points.
Although Du Hai also received a reward, it was naturally much less than Liu Ming's.
In the following period of time, Liu Ming cultivated and waited quietly on the bone boat.
Master Lei, Lin Caiyu, and the other Barbarian Ghost Sect Spirit Masters didn't give him any more missions.
It wasn't until two days later, when Master Lei returned to the bone boat, full of killing intent, that he once again summoned him.
However, Master Lei only gave him a few instructions and gave him a list of evil cultivators that he hadn't found yet before letting him return to his cave.
After another day, Liu Ming once again heard a roar. When he walked out of the cave and looked up into the sky, the grey net that covered the entirety of Xuanjing had already disappeared without a trace.
Not only that, but he also received news that Ye Tianmei, Master Lei, and the others had already left Xuanjing and returned to the Sect.
At this time, in Xuanjing, almost all of the slightly larger underground powers had been wiped out. Almost a fifth of the cultivators had been wiped out by the two sects. As for the remaining people, after the restriction in the air disappeared, more than half of them rushed out of the city, not daring to stay in Xuanjing any longer.
As a result, the number of cultivators remaining in Xuanjing was only a quarter of what it was before. Moreover, everyone was well-behaved and no longer dared to rashly cause any trouble.
In the following month, the news of the old Emperor's sudden death and the new Empress' ascension spread throughout the Da Xuan Country from Xuanjing.
As the Sect's Supervising Disciple, Liu Ming was naturally among the crowd on the day of the coronation and watched the entire process of the new Empress' coronation.
Under the supervision of the many Gold Spirit Guests, the entire ceremony proceeded exceptionally smoothly.
As for the so called "Empress", she was only a slightly skinny thirteen or fourteen year old girl with a face full of childishness.
However, what surprised Liu Ming was that he actually saw Qiu Longzhi, the Gold Spirit Guest Commander that he thought had died, at the coronation.
At this moment, other than a slightly pale face, Qiu Longzhi did not have any injuries on his body. It was as if he had not been affected much by the events in Xuanjing and was instead in high spirits.
Naturally, Liu Ming did not take the initiative to meet the only surviving Gold Spirit Guest Commander. Instead, he waited until the ceremony was over before quietly returning to the cave.
A few days after the enthronement ceremony, Hu Chunniang came to his cave abode and took Qian Ruping away.
According to what the girl said before she left, her term as Xuanjing's Supervising Disciple had already ended and she was about to return to the Sect. Thus, she came here to say goodbye and to take away the girl.
When Qian Ruping, this girl, was really about to leave Liu Ming's side, she finally burst out her feelings of attachment to him.
Even now, when Liu Ming closed his eyes, the image of this little girl looking back three times as she walked away with tears in her eyes immediately appeared in his mind.
However, this girl did indeed have extraordinary comprehension in the way of formations. Adding on the fact that she was going to the number one sect in Da Xuan Country, even if she could not become a Spirit Apostle, she would at least have enough protection.
With this, the promise he made to Uncle Qian could be considered fulfilled.
In this period of time, he also went to the Qian House and Fan Baizi to take a look.
The changes in Xuanjing had very little effect on both of them.
At the beginning of the chaos in Xuanjing, the Qian House had gathered all of their people and shut their doors, not caring about anything that happened outside. Owner Qian and Elder Mian had also safely passed through the calamity.
As for Fan Baizi, he was a famous alchemy master. None of the major factions and Spirit Master Lei's attacks affected him at all. This "Master Fan" even reminded him to come and learn alchemy on time.
Liu Ming naturally agreed without hesitation.
On this day, Liu Ming was in the secret room of the cave and was looking at a piece of paper in his hand. On it were some names and descriptions.
Liu Ming's gaze was fixed on the two names written behind the words "Black Spirit Group" at the top of the list.
These two people were two of the three leaders of the Black Spirit Group and were also the number one and number two of the Black Spirit Envoys.
When Spirit Master Lei and the other Spirit Masters of the two sects were sweeping through the secret base of the Black Spirit Group, these two people did not show themselves. However, the number three envoy, who was in charge on the surface, could not dodge in time and was killed on the spot by Spirit Master Lei.
However, the true identity of envoy number one and envoy number two had been found through soul searching and a few of their trusted subordinates.
They were also the two evil cultivators that Spirit Master Lei had told Liu Ming to get rid of before he left.
After all, at this point, they had already confirmed that the previous supervising envoy had been secretly killed by the Black Spirit Group. Even his corpse had turned to dust.
As for why the Black Spirit Group dared to do this, there were many different opinions. Even the internal members of the Black Spirit Group did not know. Only the three leaders knew.
However, it was a pity that the number three envoy had died too quickly under the hands of Spirit Master Lei. They were unable to capture him alive. Otherwise, if they searched his soul, they might be able to understand everything.
Liu Ming did not care too much about these two people.
As long as the Black Spirit Group no longer existed, these two evil cultivators would not be able to do much.
However, the Third Marquis House was now empty. The reason why he did not take any action was because he was afraid that after the change in Xuanjing, he would be noticed by someone with ulterior motives if he rushed in.
Now that a month had passed, the various Marquis Houses had been sealed by the new Empress. Not long after, they would be rewarded to other officials.
Thus, he had no choice but to take action.
Liu Ming put away the paper in his hand and instantly made up his mind.
Time slowly passed by and in the blink of an eye, it was already late at night!
A faint shadow suddenly rushed out from one of the alleys. With a few quick flashes, it floated over the high walls of the Third Marquis House and silently landed in a decent-sized courtyard.
At this moment, the surroundings were completely silent and the house was pitch black. If it wasn't for the bright moon in the sky giving off a pure white light, one would not be able to see their fingers if they stretched out their hands.
The figure that rushed in was naturally Liu Ming!
Liu Ming's gaze swept through the surroundings and he made a hand sign with one hand. Immediately, the crystal light in his eyes brightened and the originally pitch-black scenery suddenly became much clearer.
Subsequently, Liu Ming patted the leather bag on his waist and with a "pu", a black cloud rolled out and the White Bone Scorpion appeared in front of him.
This time, without needing him to say anything, the White Bone Scorpion shook its tail and disappeared into the ground.
Only then did Liu Ming take out a map from his sleeve. Looking at the stars in the sky, he slightly determined the direction and shot towards the depths of the Third Marquis House.
After a full fifteen minutes, Liu Ming used some unknown method to find a corner of the Third Marquis House in front of a giant tree that had grown for who knows how many years.
"Looks like it's this tree. The time seems to be about right." Liu Ming circled around the giant tree a few times and looked at the nearby ground a few times. Finally, his face revealed a happy expression as he muttered to himself. Subsequently, his body moved and he arrived at the trunk of the giant tree. He looked down at the faint shadow of the tree under the moonlight.
As time passed, the blurry shadow of the tree began to slowly move in a certain direction and gradually became longer and thinner.
Suddenly, a certain part of the shadow of the tree turned black and strangely condensed into the shape of a black longsword that was around ten feet long.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's eyes lit up and his gaze instantly followed the direction of the treasured sword and looked over a hundred steps away.
In the end, a seemingly inconspicuous pavilion really stood not far away.
He was overjoyed and just as he was about to fly down from the tree, his expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly shrunk his body slightly and immediately, his entire body was submerged into the layers of leaves. At the same time, the aura on his body was restrained and became faintly discernible.
In the end, after a while, the sound of air breaking rang out and two black shadows flashed over. One was tall and the other was fat. With a sway, they unexpectedly stopped under the giant tree.
"Hurry up and see if the item is still there." The two of them carefully looked around before the taller shadow spoke to his companion in a low voice.
"I know, leave it to me." Hearing this, the fat shadow immediately took out a round plate from his sleeve and suddenly stuck it to the bottom of the giant tree. His other hand quickly formed a hand sign.
"Pu!"
When the round plate lit up, the fat shadow's arm moved and one of his hands actually went through the round plate and directly into the trunk of the tree. After retracting his hand, he pulled out a black object.
