On Moon Shadow Island.
Early morning.
After dealing with the old man's corpse, Lu Ming contacted the dean of the First College immediately.
After all …
This place had something to do with him.
"I'll handle it."
The dean's scalp turned numb.
Seven-star!
Both of them!
Forget about the Assassin. That eighteen hundred-year-old old man …
He wished he could fly over now.
"Doesn't the Moon Shadow Island have a Teleportation Nexus? Activate it. I'll bring someone over to investigate. "
The dean's voice was low.
"Uh …"
Lu Ming spread his hands. "It hasn't been built yet."
“？？”
The dean was puzzled. "How much longer do you need?"
"A few months."
Lu Ming was also very vexed. "We can't hire a seven-star Array Master. We can only build it with Six Stars."
"A few months?"
The dean smiled bitterly.
By the time you were done, it would be too late!
Charter a plane?
That was even more unreliable!
After a long while …
He sighed. "I'll do it."
Hence …
That night.
Two Array Grandmasters arrived on Moon Shadow Island and helped to build the Teleportation Nexus overnight. The Teleportation Nexus that was already more than half completed was completed in a few hours …
In that case …
The Moon Shadow Island's array was fully activated!!!
Tian Du City and Moon Shadow Island were officially connected. The dean led a group of investigators and teleported from the Teleportation Nexus of Tian Du City to Moon Shadow Island.
"Dean."
Lu Ming welcomed them.
He really welcomed them. After all, there were not many practical people like the dean anymore.
"Let's investigate first."
The dean led the investigators over.
After a long while …
They gave them the results.
Seven-star Assassin. It was true. His identity was unknown. It was likely that the old man had a feud with him. They had to go back and check the database again.
And that old man …
According to incomplete statistics, he was involved in ten missing geniuses from wealthy families …
Of course.
If the description was true, there would have been more cases earlier!
"I didn't expect such a person to exist."
The dean sighed.
Such a devil had lived for one thousand and eight hundred years.
However …
He still had some doubts.
"This back …"
The dean was baffled.
He had lived for so many years, but he had never seen an old man in his seventies or eighties with such a smooth back.
"Hi."
"Aren't you going to let me do some beauty treatments?"
Lu Ming whispered, "Director, I heard that there's a 'Swordsman Smooth Scrub Back' project that's been quite popular these past two years …"
“？？？”
The Head of Teaching was dumbfounded. What was it again?
A Swordsman doing this?!
Oh.
Understood.
Part-time job …
These days, the world was still relatively peaceful, so there were fewer battle-related businesses. Every time they went out to explore, sometimes the harvest was not rich enough.
What should he do now?
Expand the market!
Develop new business!
This' Smooth Scrub Back Scrub 'was considered good. In their era, Swordsman would even do nail salons in order to develop their part-time jobs …
On her tiny fingernail, there was a miniature carving of a palace …
This is good.
There was also an old friend of Swordsman who seemed to be a part-time practitioner of ring incision surgery.
There was no other reason.
He just wanted to be precise, fast and injury-free.
After all …
According to rumors, as long as the Swordsman's sword was fast enough, he could complete the surgery before the wound reacted …
Right now …
In fact, wasn't it the same?
That was true.
Although cultivation could make one's body stronger, his youthful heart was no longer there. How many things did he know about the youngsters nowadays?!
He did not know anything about singing or dancing.
He did not know anything about kindness.
In the past, they only needed to eat their fill, live and cultivate. That was enough. But youngsters nowadays pursued a combination of entertainment and cultivation …
Perhaps …
This was the generation gap.
"Perhaps I'm old."
The Head of Teaching sighed.
Sometimes, one had to admit that they were old.
One's hairline and the curve of one's peeing would tell you what it meant to age.
"Actually, it's normal."
Lu Ming said weakly, "Think about it. He's more than a thousand years old. If he doesn't want his thinking to be rotten, he has to learn what youngsters like to do. Play games, read novels, scold authors, do beauty treatments, drive daily, draw rainbows and dragons …"
The Head of Teaching was speechless.
At first glance, it seemed to make sense.
Hence …
When he looked at the old man again, he automatically accepted the setting of 'a fashionable old man'.
"His fingernails are clean too."
"Where's his head?"
"Here."
"Well … He's one thousand and eight hundred years old but he doesn't have any wrinkles. It seems that he's had a facelift. Although he's vicious, he's quite fashionable."
The Head of Teaching was filled with emotions.
"Look."
Even the old man's hair was more exquisite than his.
Oh.
And hair …
He looked at the old man's thick hair and felt somewhat envious.
Hence …
He raised his hand to touch his head. It was bald in the middle. "Sigh, I don't know what method this old man uses to keep his hair flourishing …"
He had not thought of a good way to deal with this.
In the past …
Someone recommended a cultivator who could easily grow a head of black hair. It was cheap and useful.
However …
Only after he personally went over did he realize that the so-called "planter" had actually used energy to grow a field of lush green plants on his head.
Afterward …
It was dyed black.
At that time, he was speechless.
Although there was nothing wrong with the appearance, when he knew that he had a head full of green hair and grass could be grown on his scalp, he could not help but feel his scalp turn numb.
He could only give up.
He had yet to find another way.
"It's a pity."
The Head of Teaching heaved continuous sighs.
Lu Ming was speechless.
Eh? Eh?
This time, they seemed to be here to investigate the corpse and not for fashion?!
He felt that …
It seemed that …
He had led the Head of Teaching astray?
Thankfully …
The Head of Teaching was after all the Head of Teaching. He soon regained his composure and began to investigate.
After a long time …
The investigation was completed.
"We've taken the corpse away."
The Head of Teaching said in a low voice, "It's not safe to leave this here. As we continue to investigate, it's impossible to hide the news completely."
"Understood."
Lu Ming nodded slightly.
"After this matter is settled, we'll contact you. After all …
"Dozens of wealthy families.
"Even if we don't ask them, they will remember this favor."
The Head of Teaching said meaningfully.
"Understood."
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
Favors and whatnot, he loved them the most!
After a long time …
The Head of Teaching left.
He brought along a large number of investigators with him.
After returning to Tian Du City, the Head of Teaching released the relevant investigation results and caused a huge commotion! Especially those families where geniuses had really gone missing!!
"Goodness!
"There's actually such a thing?!
"I heard that Duma lived for a long time. I didn't expect that a human could do it …"
"Yes."
"Do you think it's because he drank Duma soup or something?"
"Rumors stop with the wise. Don't spread such messy rumors. It will harm the Duma family."
"Hehe, is it interesting to bicker? I'm just asking. Besides, if it's that easy to destroy a family with rumors, they would have been destroyed long ago.
"Otherwise, how do you think they became a level-one rare creature?"
“？？？”
“？？？”
Some people heaved continuous sighs.
Of course.
There were also some who felt their hearts tremble.
"One of my ancestors used to be a super genius, comparable to Lu Yan. However, when he was at the peak of Six Stars, he disappeared without warning …
"One of my ancestors also disappeared.
"So did my grandfather."
"Nonsense! The victim was younger than eighteen years old. If your grandfather was killed, how did you come here? Mitosis? "
"Sigh, we have to start from the big sister who moved in from our neighbor when my grandfather was fourteen years old …"
"…"
Anyway.
Scenes of the past evoked memories of the people.
Most of the plots were similar. A young genius became the disciple of an expert. In the end, the expert brought his disciple to the legacy site and they died together …
Yes.
In the old man's information, one could clearly see that …
They died together.
However, with the development of modern technology, in addition to surveillance, there were also fingerprints, irises, hair and other forms of authentication …
In the end …
Many cases had been proven.
Oh.
There was also the Assassin.
Although he was only mentioned briefly in the investigation, after comparing with the law enforcement agencies, they were surprised to discover that there were many cases involving this guy …
Right.
That was right!
Most of the cases involving the old man were missing persons and he disappeared with his disciple. Therefore, most people knew that he might have encountered an accident.
As for the Assassin …
He had really carried out countless assassinations in the city!
And now …
This guy was finally dead.
Countless unsolved cases of the law enforcement agencies had been solved.
Hence …
That massive reward …
That massive amount of glory …
In the end, it landed on Lu Ming's head.
"How can I accept this?"
Lu Ming was laughing so hard that he could not close his legs.
"You've won this."
The dean said in a low voice, "However, although I have deliberately skipped over this in the report, since I have given you the reward, many people will notice you. All of you have to be careful."
"Understood."
Lu Ming smiled faintly.
At this time, no one would risk universal condemnation to create trouble!
Therefore …
Most of the people who came here were investigators sent by the big families, investigators from the various agencies, as well as those who simply wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Some began to target the old man, some began to target Gao Tianlang's family, and some began to target the Moon Shadow Island. All kinds of forces quickly came to the scene.
As for Lu Ming?
He did not reject anyone.
First of all …
In order to protect the safety of the people coming and going, Lu Ming closed the small port left by the developer.
Secondly …
In order to allow people to travel between the mainland and the Moon Shadow Island more quickly, Lu Ming considerately opened the Teleportation Nexus and attached a very kind price.
Thirdly …
Lu Ming had perfectly preserved the traces of the Assassin's battlefield and the old man's battlefield, as well as the traces of their energy.
Not only that, he also got Xiao-Xiaohu to appear and freeze all the auras in that area. He even specially hung signs for these two places —
The place where the Assassin Grandmaster died, the entrance fee was eighty thousand yuan.
The place where the Array Grandmaster died, the entrance fee was one hundred thousand yuan. (In order to protect the remnants of the Array Grandmaster's aura, we have to spend a lot of money on maintenance every day. Therefore, please bring along the sterile equipment and enter carefully.)
Of course.
No one dared to act recklessly.
After all, two grandmasters had been killed here!
Hence …
From this day onwards, the Sword Card Master Association had another stable source of income.
…
At this moment …
Moon Shadow Island.
Lu Ming lay on the rocking chair, looking at the people coming and going. He felt very comfortable.
Look.
There were not many people on the Moon Shadow Island a few days ago. Suddenly, it began to earn money … Just the daily teleportation fee was a huge sum of money!
They only needed to provide energy and be responsible for the operation!
Well …
Huge profits.
"What are they investigating?"
Xiao Bai asked her master curiously.
"Clues."
Lu Ming smiled faintly. "Although the corpse is gone, the energy and aura are still there. Without these things, we can only rely on the aura to identify the case."
"Oh."
Xiao Bai nodded.
"Don't worry about them."
Lu Ming smiled faintly. "Let the Original Cards keep an eye on them. As long as they don't destroy them and pay the fees honestly, they are good friends of the Sword Card Master Association."
"Okay."
Xiao Bai replied obediently.
…
That afternoon.
Xiao Bai went to work again.
He heard that Xiao Bai was researching a new ability recently. Therefore, she spent most of her time in the laboratory. Lu Ming actually felt a little excited.
Tsk.
She was indeed his disciple …
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed.
It had the feeling that Lu Ming was like an ancient landlord …
"This is my good way of making friends."
Lu Ming was proud.
Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.
Forget it.
In terms of being thick-skinned, it felt that there was no need to fight with Lu Ming.
After all …
This guy was completely shameless.
However, considering that Lu Ming was still one thousand and seven hundred Ye Liangfeis away from reaching Six Stars and was still a long way from reaching seven-star, Xiao-Xiaojian was very vexed.
He was too weak.
It was true.
Given how Lu Ming was, when would it be able to unleash the true power of the Sky Water Sword?
One had to know …
In ancient times, the Sky Water Sword could only unleash its power at seven-star!
Therefore …
Could he improve faster?
Cultivators honed themselves in life-and-death situations and achieved breakthroughs!!!
What about Lu Ming?
He clearly had many trump cards and could improve faster. However, he was very afraid of death. He spent his days immersed in Xiao Bai's gentleness …
He was too lazy!!!
This was not how a president should behave!!
Snort!
It had read about human history. There was a saying called 'the fragrance of a beauty and the poke of a hero'. It was used to describe this kind of person who would easily get into trouble!!!
Therefore …
In order not to let his path to becoming stronger come to an end …
In order to make Lu Ming stronger from a weak man!
It decided to urge Lu Ming to cultivate!
For example —
"Are you really not going to the place marked by the old man?"
Xiao-Xiaojian egged him on.
"…"
Lu Ming glanced at it. "Isn't the map destroyed?"
The map was very big.
It was very complicated.
It was similar to the strategy guides that Lu Ming read when he was playing games in his previous life.
Furthermore, it was on the sea. It was a huge maze! If one could not follow the map accurately to every meter and every second, one would definitely get lost!
Furthermore …
They destroyed it very quickly.
No matter how good one's memory was, it was impossible to memorize the map of the maze that was densely packed.
"I am a spirit body!"
Xiao-Xiaojian was proud.
Humans might not be able to do it but it was not a problem for their spirit bodies!
"I'm not going."
Lu Ming did not even think about it.
What a joke.
What did the old man leave behind?
A huge pit!
Until now, Lu Ming felt that the old man had died too easily …
After all …
You are an old monster who has lived for one thousand and eight hundred years!!!
According to Lu Ming's reading of one billion words on Qidian in his previous life, there was no doubt that the old man must have left behind some special traps.
For example —
Resurrection Array?
After you go there, will you trigger something and resurrect the old man?
Or for example —
Possession?
The old man left an avatar consciousness and waited for you to go there and possess it … He must be crazy to send himself to his death!
"It's okay. I will accompany you. What are you afraid of?"
Xiao-Xiaojian straightened its back.
"…"
Lu Ming glanced at it. He could not be bothered to speak.
"A — alright."
Xiao-Xiaojian sighed.
"Are you really not going?"
"I'm not going."
"What if someone else brings the old man back? Since it is an island, someone will go there sooner or later … If someone happens to meet him …
"A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.
"When the time comes, the old man will not die so easily."
Xiao-Xiaojian said.
"…"
Lu Ming squinted his eyes.
Although he did not need to look to know that Xiao-Xiaojian's bluff was full of loopholes, at this moment, he suddenly thought of something very interesting.
Regardless of possession or what he left behind, the old man's preparations should be at the level of consciousness, right?
Since that was the case …
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
"Brother Mao?"
“??”
"Are you interested in engaging in an activity that is enjoyable and beneficial to your physical and mental health?"
