At this moment …
The Priest Association.
The two priests were waiting for the results in the villa.
"I believe the collapse plot has already unfolded?"
"Yes."
"That's good. I just don't know if Lu Ming will join the Priest Association."
"That's for sure. I have hired the most popular god-level author to tailor a plot for Lu Ming. Coupled with the technology of Paradise on Earth, it is absolutely realistic."
"Very good."
The priest was very satisfied.
They had experienced the technology of Paradise on Earth.
It was quite realistic.
During the test, they even set up some plots for two or three people and then personally experienced it. The degree of realism …
Heh.
It was much more realistic than this villa.
Therefore …
If Lu Ming and the rest had a good impression of each other, it would be best if they developed feelings for each other. After all, there were many ladies in the Priest Association. In that case, when the priests sacrificed themselves for Lu Ming, Lu Ming would be even more upset and the chances of him joining the Priest Association would be higher.
Oh.
According to the current progress, perhaps the priests had already sacrificed themselves for Lu Ming …
"It's time for us to make a move."
"Yes."
The two priests stretched their backs.
After resting in Paradise on Earth, the two of them were at their peak state.
They were extremely excited.
Hence …
They made a move and prepared to step into the legacy site.
Buzz —
Lights and shadows flashed.
The priest's figure stretched into the legacy site. A moment later, he actually did not enter.
"What are you doing?"
His companion gave him a strange look. "If you want to go in, go in. Why are you dawdling around here?"
Upon finishing his words …
His companion stepped into the legacy site.
However …
In that instant, he felt a boundless pressure. That crack, which couldn't be considered big, actually emitted a terrifying power that pressed down on him from all directions.
"Oh no!"
Lights surged in his body and green veins popped all over his body, trying to hold on.
However …
In just three seconds.
Pfft!
There was an explosion of lights.
He was bounced out forcefully.
"This entrance …"
He was somewhat frightened.
"It has been sealed."
The priest said in a low voice, "Hurry, report this immediately. I'm afraid that something has really happened in Paradise on Earth!"
…
At this very moment …
Paradise on Earth.
Lu Ming stood there. The clerics were lying in front of him in an orderly manner.
Opposite.
Ri's expression was ugly as well.
The priests' concern for Lu Ming was far beyond his imagination. This was no longer a good relationship. It was as if Lu Ming was their father was written on their faces.
Damn it!
What is your relationship?!
Could these priests be Lu Ming's illegitimate children?!
Also …
The appearance of these Priests was very strange, as if they had long been prepared. There was clearly no trace of them, but they suddenly appeared …
What was going on with this place?!
Sun still has some power.
But …
But he didn't dare to use it.
If a few more priests appeared and depleted all the special energy in his body, he might not be able to defeat Lu Ming with his peak Six Stars strength.
Therefore …
He was also observing.
Let's see what's going on with this damned world!
"How are you guys?"
Lu Ming looked at the priests.
"It's, it's alright."
The priests were panting.
All of their faces were pale and they almost collapsed. However, their hearts were filled with joy. After all, they had successfully completed the first stage of their mission.
"Lu Ming …
"Are you alright?"
The priest asked.
"I'm fine."
Lu Ming smiled reluctantly.
He was not used to the concern of the priests.
It was true.
He understood that the few adorable female priests were concerned about him. After all, he was already used to his unrivaled good looks.
However, the few male priests …
What did they mean?
They looked at him with more affection than the ladies?
Ri!
"Oh?"
Ri suddenly became alert.
He vaguely felt that someone seemed to be calling him.
"That person.
"Yes.
"It's you."
A weak priest stood up stubbornly. "Who are you? Why did you appear in Paradise on Earth? Why did you kill Lu Ming? What is your motive?!
"Who gave you the guts?!
"Aren't you afraid of the Priests Association?
"Exactly!
"When we go back, we must report to our superiors, investigate the conspiracy behind you and uproot all of you!"
The priests said furiously.
???
Lu Ming's countenance changed slightly.
Wait a minute.
Weren't they forcing the other party to take action?!
Were they stupid?
However …
What made him feel even more puzzled was that the enemies opposite him did not make a move.
"…"
Ri was silent.
This was because he was not a fool.
Suddenly, nine people appeared to block his attack. Nine people were obviously very weak but they were clamoring to punish and take revenge on him …
He suddenly understood something.
These few people were trying to deplete his energy!
They wanted to protect Lu Ming!
He could not be fooled!
Hence …
Ri, Lu Ming and the priests were confronting each other.
They were confronting each other.
Until outsiders appeared.
"Eh?
"What are you guys doing here?"
A priest with two ponytails in a small skirt appeared with a nerdy Elementalist.
"Priest!"
Ri's heart jumped a beat.
True enough.
These damn priests were long prepared!
Retreat!
They would retreat first and then wait for an opportunity to strike.
Hence …
Ri reserved the most precious energy in his body. He took a deep look at Lu Ming and the priests, sneered and retreated quietly at this moment.
Shush!
Ri's figure disappeared instantly.
…
Eh?
The priest with two ponytails was puzzled.
Eh?
The priests were dumbstruck.
Wait a minute.
This plot was not right!
Shouldn't the enemy be enraged and ready to strike and Lu Ming counterattack? They should die for Lu Ming and successfully complete the mission?!
Why did he run away?
The priests glanced at each other and were at a loss.
According to the original plan, they should have died the first time. However, they only crippled their core … Now that the enemy had run away, they were very confused.
"Why did Ri run away?"
The nerdy Elementalist scratched his head.
"Don't swear."
The priest with two ponytails kicked him.
"I didn't swear."
The nerdy Elementalist had an innocent look on his face. "He is called Ri."
"Ri …"
Lu Ming's expression changed slightly. "Do you know him?"
"We chatted in the villa."
The nerdy Elementalist felt embarrassed. "He asked me to go exercise with him at night. I was too embarrassed and rejected him. Why did he fight with you guys?"
Shush!
The expressions of the priests changed instantly.
It was no wonder that they felt that the young man in red looked familiar … It turned out that he was the low-profile young cultivator!
Hey.
They almost could not recognize him in his clothes!
Wait a minute.
If this young man was here to cultivate, then what happened just now … was not part of the plot?!
Shush!
One of the priests immediately checked his realm and his expression changed drastically.
His cultivation level …
It was really gone!!!
Upon seeing this, the other priests also checked themselves and were shocked to discover that their realm did not disappear as a disguise …
It was really …
Gone!
"How is that possible?!"
"We're done for …"
The priests' faces darkened.
To hell with it.
If they had known that this would happen, they would not have come to court death!
"What's wrong with all of you?"
Lu Ming asked with concern, "Are you not feeling well? Are you suffering from sequelae? "
"…"
The priests felt like crying but had no tears.
What else could they say?
They could not possibly say that they thought that it was part of the plot and were prepared to court death. They did not expect that an outsider would interfere and cause their realm to drop …
They cried.
They had already saved him. It would be stupid to say that now.
Hence …
The priests could only grit their teeth and swallow their grievances. "It's okay. Although it's a little painful, we can still endure it."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Ming was filled with gratitude.
They were indeed priests!
Kind!
Reliable!
"Can you guys go back?"
Lu Ming was concerned. "Your energy has just dissipated. If you go back now, you might have a chance to recover your cultivation level."
"We can't do it anymore."
The priest with ponytails suddenly spoke at this moment. "We have already broken through successfully and are preparing to go back. For some reason, the connection has been broken."
"It's broken?!"
The priests' expressions changed again.
They instinctively crushed the Teleportation Stone and their faces turned greener.
The legacy site …
Something had really happened!!
They were done for.
They were really going to become useless. At the thought of their hard work over the years, the number of part-time jobs they had taken and the number of weddings they had attended …
Tears welled up in their eyes.
"It seems that Ri is behind this."
Lu Ming frowned. "He is very powerful. What is his motive for sealing the legacy site?
"Could it be the legendary Fountain of Life?"
The nerdy Elementalist had an idea.
Of course, he had done his research before coming here.
"That's possible."
Lu Ming thought so too.
Oo …
That made sense.
"Ri has the strength of a nine-star but he came here in secret. He must be plotting something. He attacked me first because he wants to eliminate me as a threat. He will then destroy all of you and take the Fountain of Life for himself … Grandmasters are restricted from entering here. He must have come in through some special means.
"Right now, he has overexerted his energy. I reckon he plans to recuperate before attacking us."
Lu Ming analyzed.
So, that was the case!
The priests' hearts trembled.
Was the other party's target the Fountain of Life?! That was right. That was the legendary thing that could increase one's lifespan! It was also the most precious thing in the Priest Association and in heaven!
"What should we do then?"
The priest with ponytails was very worried.
"It's okay."
Lu Ming said in a low voice, "I will protect all of you."
These priests had helped him. Naturally, he would not abandon them.
"Thank you."
The priests felt a little ashamed.
Lu Ming did it to repay their kindness. However, they knew that they had planned to trick Lu Ming and make use of Lu Ming's kindness …
Also …
If the other party's target was the Fountain of Life, that meant that Lu Ming had been affected by the Priest Association. It was an undeserved calamity.
"…"
The female priest with ponytails glanced at them curiously.
Although the missions of the priests were different and she did not understand the missions of others, she felt that the missions of these priests seemed to be skewed …
It felt strange.
"What should we do next?"
The nerdy Elementalist was a little worried.
He had met his true love here. He did not want to die here.
"Let's go to the Fountain of Life.
"The priests' cultivation level has been crippled. Perhaps the Fountain of Life can heal them."
Lu Ming said in a low voice, "Moreover, since this is the other party's target, we should arrive in advance and make preparations there. Whoever arrives first will have the advantage. "
"Okay."
The priests nodded.
"What if the other party doesn't attack?"
The nerdy Elementalist asked.
"That's for the best."
Lu Ming rolled his eyes. "This is heaven on earth. The Priest Association will discover that something is wrong and rush over. It's good for us to drag this out."
"Understood."
Everyone understood.
Hence …
Lu Ming and the group walked to the deepest part of heaven — a place where no one should and no one was allowed to enter.
However …
What no one expected was that …
Just as they were halfway there, bolts of lightning suddenly struck.
Heaven and earth collapsed.
The entire legacy site began to change. The priests could not hold on any longer.
Their cultivation level had been crippled and it was difficult for them to move. Even if Lu Ming flew them, they did not even have the right to hang on to Lu Ming …
The speed was too fast.
Their bodies could not withstand it.
"Is this another one of God's tricks?"
Lu Ming's expression was grave.
This enemy was more terrifying than he had imagined.
Not only did he have powerful attacks, but he could also attack the legacy site and cause the world to change. If this went on, they might not be able to reach their destination safely.
"…"
The priests' expressions were somewhat ugly.
Because …
This plot …
It seemed to match the script.
The appearance of God seemed to be just an interlude. With God's departure, the script returned to normal and the world began to collapse!
Under normal circumstances, they would naturally fight together to strengthen their friendship.
But now …
The few priests were useless!!
Furthermore …
Because they had been abandoned, they would really die if anything happened to them now …
Hence …
They could only watch helplessly as their original plan to harm Lu Ming ended up harming them. On the contrary, Lu Ming was constantly protecting them …
Time and time again.
Furthermore …
Sometimes, he used his body to resist the lightning to help them resist the damage.
"Why don't you give up on us?"
The priests smiled bitterly.
At this rate, they would die before they reached the Spring of Life. Not to mention, there was still a Ri eyeing them from the dark.
"It's okay.
I can still hold on. "
Lu Ming said in a low voice.
These priests were injured in order to save him. How could he give up?
However …
The journey ahead was getting more and more difficult.
The world was collapsing faster and faster. The priests' expressions turned increasingly ugly.
The priest with double ponytails continued to heal them but he could only let the priests live on. Their speed of advancement was getting slower and slower …
Even Lu Ming was injured.
"…"
The priests looked ugly.
Who would have thought that …
They would die because of the script that they had set up?!
However …
At this moment.
Lu Ming suddenly thought of something. "I have a way to help all of you regain some combat ability. It's just that … I don't know if it's suitable …"
"Forget it."
Lu Ming sighed. "At most, we will leak it out …"
Eh?
Everyone was puzzled.
Lu Ming took a deep look at the priests. "Next, I will teach all of you the secret skills of the Sword Card Master Association …
"Top-notch secret skills!
"The disciples that the Sword Card Master Association recruits are from other associations. Therefore, we have the best secret skills in terms of transformation. This is also the top secret of our association!
"Under normal circumstances, only the core disciples of the Sword Card Master Association can learn it, but now …
"I will teach it to all of you."
Lu Ming looked serious. "I don't know if this is suitable … but I believe in all of you. Since all of you are willing to save me, I am willing to do my best to save all of you!"
"Huh?"
The priest widened his eyes.
Sword Card Master …
Secret skills?!
Oh my goodness!
Lu Ming was willing to teach them the secret skills of the Sword Card Master?!
As a priest, they knew very well that the Sword Card Master Association relied on unique secret skills and various powerful means to progress to where they were. They had very strong combat abilities!
But now …
In order to let them survive, Lu Ming was willing to teach them!
At the thought of this, they were very touched.
Lu Ming, this child …
This child …
They could feel that the softest part of their hearts had been poked.
True enough.
Just as the president had said …
This child was too kind …
This was clearly their problem!
Lu Ming was merely affected …
In fact …
They were the ones who caused these disasters. In the end, Lu Ming had to bear all the consequences and even gave up the advantage of being a Sword Card Master!
At the thought of this, they were filled with guilt.
They were so scheming.
They were so scheming.
As for Lu Ming …
Who was the kind-hearted one?
They even wanted to reject him directly. However, they ultimately wanted to live. Therefore, they accepted Lu Ming's teachings, filled with guilt.
Very soon …
With Lu Ming's help, the priests transformed the dissipated energy and temporarily became Sword Card Masters.
Yes.
They became Sword Card Masters.
As the talented disciples of the Priest Association, they were very talented. In this paradise that was rich in energy, they were able to reach Four Stars in one go.
Lu Ming also taught them how to use the Sword Card.
Moon Shadow Swordplay.
Tai Chi Level Eight.
Wait.
This allowed the priests to temporarily have the ability to protect themselves.
"Alright."
Lu Ming wiped his perspiration. His face was pale. "I have already completed the transformation for all of you. Although it is only Four Stars, it is enough for all of you to survive here.
"When we reach the Spring of Life, all of you can become priests again."
Lu Ming said.
"Thank you."
The priests were silent.
Did this mean that they had completed their mission?
Although they did not convert Lu Ming, they had obtained the most important core technique of a Sword Card Master.
It was just that …
Why did they feel so upset?!
Looking at Lu Ming in front of them, looking at Lu Ming who was still the strongest and still suffering for them, they felt a sense of heartache.
That was …
Remorse and self-blame.
Priests were the kindest vocation.
Although there would occasionally be some evil people, most of them were kind-hearted. Needless to say, many of them were kind-hearted ladies.
But right now …
They thought about what they had done.
They thought about what Lu Ming had done.
They looked at the pale face of the teenager in front of them. Lu Ming, who had helped them transform into Sword Card Masters and imparted them their biggest secret but still comforted them.
Unknowingly, they felt very upset.
Very upset …
Was it really right for them to do this?!
…
"Let's go!"
Lu Ming floated into the air.
"Okay."
The priests gritted their teeth and regained their spirits.
Shush!
Shush!
They took off as well. Although they did not have a spirit body, after they changed their vocation to Sword Card Master, they could fly with Lu Ming and follow him closely.
After a long time …
They finally arrived at their destination.
Over there …
The fog was surging.
There were two springs of sparkling liquid flowing in the pool, forming a huge circular pool in the form of Tai Chi. The two liquids were crystal clear.
One was white.
The other was black.
