Tian Du City.
Sword Card Master Association.
Night fell. The disciples of the association had already gone to bed. Only Lu Ming's room was dimly lit. A small figure was still studying.
Outside the window.
A shadow emerged.
Looking at the silhouette by the window, the corners of his lips curled to reveal a cold smile.
Finally …
Lu Ming had left!!!
Haha!
Finally, this moment had arrived.
Without Lu Ming around, he could finally use his abilities without any restraints! These foolish disciples were waiting to be conquered by him.
Hence …
He quietly emerged from the shadows.
Afterward …
Bam.
He fell and tumbled.
He got up calmly and limped back to the shadows, pretending that nothing had happened. He had no choice. He had sustained serious injuries from the self-explosion the last time …
However …
It was alright.
He only needed to wait for someone to come.
After a long time …
A figure appeared at the door.
"You're here."
He said in a low voice.
"Yes."
A rather handsome youth walked over.
The shadow was very happy. However, with the previous two experiences, he was smart enough to ask a question first. "What's your name?"
"Doggy Li."
The teenager answered honestly.
"Very good."
The shadow was overjoyed.
Finally …
He finally had a name!
He was no longer a nameless simp like the two fools in black and white!!!
Doggy Li. He had this person's name in his information. He also knew that Doggy Li was a first-generation disciple and was the head of a department!
Very well.
This was the only way he was qualified to be his pawn!
Hence …
He nodded slightly. "Let's cooperate."
Buzz —
Faint purple lights circulated.
When he spoke, he naturally had a gush of mysterious power. It was irresistible. This was his unique ability.
"How can I trust you?"
Doggy Li asked.
"Come."
He lifted his hand and gently placed it on Doggy Li.
Buzz —
Faint energy surged.
Doggy Li's strength had actually increased by a small realm.
"Senior …"
Doggy Li exclaimed.
This senior was actually so powerful?!
"What do you think?"
The shadow smiled.
"Thank you, senior."
Doggy Li was delighted.
"It's fine."
"Next … let's get down to business."
The shadow smiled.
Along with the gradual increase in strength, Doggy Li had already been completely convinced by his own strength. Then … let's begin.
"Ergou."
"Yes."
"Do you like that girl from the snowy mountain?"
"Yes."
"Very good."
"Now …"
"Take a good look."
The shadow murmured.
Boom!
A dark shadow appeared.
A huge realistic illusion was formed in Doggy Li's eyes.
Over there.
There was the girl he liked the most, and the two of them had a happy daily life. However, the situation suddenly changed, and the girl gradually became closer to Lu Ming …
Doggy Li had a mental breakdown.
One night.
The girl refused to go on a date with him and left with Lu Ming...
"Very good."
The shadow smiled.
Hmm …
According to past experience, it was about time.
As long as he could trigger Doggy Li's anger and engrave these scenes in his heart, he would be completely awakened and want to kill these two b * stards!
Hence …
The shadow waved his hands.
Bloom!
The power of anger!
He would let these two b * tches know what anger was!!
Bang!
Purple lights burned.
The plot in the illusion had reached its peak.
Afterward …
In the illusion, after Doggy Li cried bitterly, he seemed to be enlightened. He picked up the communication device and sent a message to the girl with tears in his eyes. "Remember to take safety precautions."
Afterward …
There was nothing else.
The shadow was speechless.
Wait a minute.
Damn it, what kind of people are in your association?!
…
At this very moment …
In the Land of the Fallen.
Lu Ming looked dumbstruck.
Oh.
He had already entered …
What was different from what he had expected was that it was very wet inside.
"This place …"
Lu Ming's expression was grave.
He looked at the surrounding environment and there was a flash of amazement in his eyes. This Land of the Fallen was different from the potholes that he had imagined. It was actually a Mirror World!
The sky was as clean as a mirror.
The ground was clean and flat.
No.
To be more precise …
Lu Ming lifted his feet and saw streaks of water ripples …
Yes.
Beneath his feet.
It was all water.
There was a thin layer of water stains on the flat ground. They were stepping on this layer of water and it was very strange. The clean water surface was reflecting light.
"It's very beautiful."
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
Here, there was almost no uneven spot.
Under his feet.
A distance away.
Everywhere he looked, it was the same scenery. It was clean and bright.
What did this mean?
Mirror World …
Lu Ming looked for a while before he got used to this strange and strange scene. He then retracted his gaze and looked at the constantly vibrating wristband communication device in his hands.
There was only one message on it — "Land of the Fallen Mission Handbook".
The first page was a map.
It roughly described the 76% that had been developed and the 76% of the area as well as the interesting features of certain places.
For example —
There was a large amount of abnormal energy somewhere.
And so on.
As for why?
The big shots were not sure either!
One of the missions this time was to check out these places.
Afterward, it was time to explore the remaining 24%.
The unknown areas were not covered by the Sword Auras of the big shots. It was an existence that no one had touched for countless years. Naturally, it contained a large amount of energy!
Therefore …
Exploring the unknown areas was the real way to improve!
This was a mission.
It was also a benefit.
However …
Before this …
They needed to clearly investigate the abnormal places in the 76% of the map that had been developed before they could go there. If there was really a magical environment that could greatly increase the energy of a certain place, they had to bring it back! Or they could hand it over to the Swordsman Association!
…
Lu Ming glanced at it and skipped over it.
He was not a Swordsman. He was not interested in these things. What he was really interested in was the rich energy and resources in the Land of the Fallen.
He looked back. There was only a gap at the border.
It was very shallow.
It was very faint.
Lu Ming touched it.
Well …
It was very smooth.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao-Xiaojian cast him a strange look.
"I'm just curious."
Lu Ming pondered deeply. "Does this place belong to a small world that drifts away from the world or is it part of the original world that is sealed off by the barrier?"
"I'm not sure."
Xiao-Xiaojian shook its head. The auras just now were seven-star and above. It could not see through them at all.
"Seven-star …"
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
This realm …
According to rumors, there was a huge gap between peak Six Stars and seven-stars. He had always understood this. But now it seemed that seven-stars were far more powerful than he had imagined!
He looked not far away.
The Swordsman were also observing the environment.
In that instant, that beam of sword gleam had integrated dozens of them into the sword gleam and squeezed them in through such a small gap …
This ability …
It was amazing!
Lu Ming exclaimed.
“？”
Xiao-Xiaojian cast him a puzzled look. "Aren't all humans born like this?"
"…"
The expression on Lu Ming's face froze instantly.
After a long while …
He heaved a long sigh of relief and calmed his complicated emotions. "If you continue to be like this, I will beat you to death sooner or later."
"Huh?"
Xiao-Xiaojian was puzzled.
What do you mean by being like this …
"You humans …
"Shut up!"
Lu Ming's face darkened.
"Oh."
Xiao-Xiaojian felt aggrieved. It did not even allow others to speak! Lu Ming was becoming more and more domineering!
…
Mirror …
Lu Ming analyzed the current situation.
It was very clean and there was no complicated environment. There was a mirror from the beginning to the end. One could see everything at one glance. All they had to do was to follow the established route. According to the mission instructions, they only needed to go to a few abnormal points to deal with the problems and finally go to the unknown area to explore the map.
It was very simple.
And right then.
A Swordsman took the initiative to walk over.
"Hello, I'm Lu Ming. I'm the leader of this mission, Meng Shisan. Although exploring the unknown area will give us a massive amount of energy, before that …
"I hope you can join us."
He looked straight at Lu Ming.
He was very serious.
The Swordsman's attitude was the same. They generally did not have a good impression of cultivators like Lu Ming who were forced to join them … Especially when he was not a Swordsman!
Although there were conflicts between factions in the Swordsman community, they were ultimately on the same side!
And you …
Sword Card Master?!
To be honest …
He was quite famous in Tian Du City and the circle that was affected by Lu Ming. However, to the Swordsman who spent most of their time cultivating every day …
Sorry, they were not familiar with him.
Although they had heard of Lu Ming's name occasionally, none of the Swordsman here was a nameless person.
"Okay."
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
This time …
He had been keeping a low profile to improve his ability.
Well …
He was serious.
Although he might have had something to do with the two incidents that happened to the Swordsman Association, most people did not know about this.
Lu Ming did not intend to let them know.
Now that he had seen the map and understood this place, Lu Ming's goal was simple — to wait for them to solve the few problems on the map.
He would then explore the area to absorb energy!
To improve his ability!
Afterward —
The end.
It was that simple.
According to the data that he had, Lu Ming estimated that he would be able to improve by one level. He might even have a chance to become a peak five-star!
That was enough!
"Very good."
Meng Shisan was very satisfied.
If Lu Ming could cooperate, it would save him a lot of effort.
Hence …
He led everyone to the first abnormal spot on the map.
The Swordsman were very quiet.
However …
After walking for a while, Xiao-Xiaojian suddenly became alert. "Lu Ming …"
"Oh?
"There's an old man watching you from behind."
"Oh?"
Lu Ming's expression changed slightly. "Where is he looking?"
"Below."
"…"
Lu Ming's face darkened. "Be more specific."
“**？”
"…"
Lu Ming's expression was gloomy.
"Anyway, this is the approximate location."
Xiao-Xiaojian complained softly. "He is not a fool. He definitely won't lock onto the target directly. He just glanced at this area from the corner of his eyes …"
"Got it."
Lu Ming said unhappily. What kind of lousy intuition was that?!
Behind …
Below …
He glanced at the area and his gaze eventually landed on the card bag. The card bag hanging on his waist should be his greatest combat power since he entered this place?
Interesting.
Was he being targeted?
Lu Ming squinted his eyes and remained calm and collected.
"Do you know who it is?"
Lu Ming asked.
"Oh …"
Xiao-Xiaojian had also seen the information. "That person is called An Mingdong."
"Got it."
Lu Ming understood.
An Mingdong, sixty-six years old. His talent was initially at the beginner five-star level. A few years ago, he became a disciple of a certain senior and reached this level. Right now, he was a peak Six Star and had the ability to skip levels. His combat ability was unknown. He could be considered a rare example of a withered tree coming back to life.
Because he knew that he did not have much time left, he spent his time in various Six Star legacy sites, striving to break through to seven-star before he died.
He was very hardworking.
He was also very hardworking.
Of course.
Most importantly —
He was a typical conservative.
His mantra was, "When we were young …"
"Don't bother about him."
Lu Ming looked calm. "Perhaps he has some insider information. It doesn't matter. There is a signal in the legacy site this time. It is considered safe."
"Yes."
Xiao-Xiaojian expressed that it understood.
"Speaking of which."
Lu Ming glanced at it. "Can you sense anything familiar? Something from ancient times. "
"No."
Xiao-Xiaojian shook its head honestly.
"What's the use of having you?!"
Lu Ming sighed.
"…"
Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.
It really did not sense any familiar aura …
However, Xiao-Xiaojian frowned. It scanned the entire graveyard with its perception, feeling the mirror-like world and was deep in thought.
"Logically speaking …
"If this place is still in the ancient state, I should be able to sense some auras, but …"
Xiao-Xiaojian was doubtful.
However …
As they continued to walk deeper, Xiao-Xiaojian seemed to have understood something.
"I think I know why I can't sense anything!
"Why?
"Because everything has been harvested …
"Harvested? Yes, the kind that harvests crops … The ground seems to have been swept by the Sword Aura of a powerful figure. That's why it is so clean and flat!!! "
The more Xiao-Xiaojian spoke, the more certain it was.
"You mean …"
Lu Ming looked into the distance.
"That's right!"
Xiao-Xiaojian nodded. "Those bastards Swordsman hollowed out the entire graveyard! They dug thirty feet into the ground and took away everything that they could!
"For example —
"There should be spirit herbs in normal places, right?
"What about here?
"There aren't even roots!
"Why?
"Because this group of bastards took away all the soil on the ground …"
Xiao-Xiaojian said.
Lu Ming had an odd expression. Inexplicably, he thought of the building that he had escaped from …
Yes.
There seemed to be some similarities.
Although the big shots were limited by their abilities and could not enter, their Sword Auras could. In that case, how could they maximize the benefits here?
Dig them one by one?
It was too strenuous!
They could directly use their Sword Auras to carry away all the things on the ground!
Heaven Treasure!
Earth Treasure!
Even the soil that grew the spirit herbs …
Dig thirty feet into the ground and take them away!
Hence …
What was left behind …
It was this smooth and flat ground.
In fact, it made sense. Why would the graveyard of the ancient Swordsman be opened to outsiders or disciples? This was because they had already eaten the meat …
What was left was only soup.
76% of the map had been fully explored. Not a single strand of hair was left in these areas!
Only the remaining 24% …
The areas that the big shots could not touch were left for the disciples.
"…"
Lu Ming did not know whether to laugh or cry.
This was because he recalled the strange smile on the vice president's face when he gave him the quota … It turned out that he did not intend to give him anything good right from the beginning!
That was right.
If this place was really that precious …
The people who came here were not just limited to these people, but also those super geniuses like Lu Yan and Yan Suya from the Swordsman Association.
Not to mention …
There was also Lu Ming, a five-star.
After all …
This was a place that had been developed by the big shots. It was a rather valuable ruin, but it was far from being a top-grade ruin.
That was all.
As for the so-called internet …
At first, Lu Ming thought that the leaders of the Swordsman Association were really concerned about their disciples. Now, it seemed that they were just trying to monitor the remaining 24% of the area.
For example —
An ancient divine sword that had been buried for a long time?
Nominally, this group of people were Swordsman who came here to gain experience. In other words, they could be called — coolies.
"Alright."
Lu Ming shrugged. What else could he say?
Forget it.
Let the Buddha be.
Once they were done dealing with these problems, they would head to the Unknown Region to improve themselves.
That was what he thought.
Oh.
Right.
Those abnormal problems …
Lu Ming squinted his eyes. The seven-star and above big shots had joined forces and swept the area with their Sword Auras, leveling everything in the area that they could not take away …
He was afraid that it would not be that simple!
At this very moment …
The Swordsman team rushed to the first place where there was an abnormal problem.
Over there …
It was a sea of blood.
…
