As a matter of fact, most of the Martial Emperors had the same thought as You Ming. They did not believe that Lu Ming had managed to kill a third-layer Martial Emperor Realm cultivator not long after he had broken through to the Martial Emperor Realm.
After all, a third-layer Martial Emperor was much stronger than a first-layer Martial Emperor.
They had come to befriend Lu Ming mainly because of Lu Ming's potential. They valued his future instead of his current strength.
Now, they finally realized that Lu Ming's strength had reached a terrifying level.
Killing You Ming in just a few moves meant that he was the strongest person in the thirty-six kingdoms of the Cloud Emperor.
The Patriarch of the Great Sun Prefecture, in particular, began to tremble.
Lu Ming's combat ability was beyond his imagination. If he wanted to kill him, he did not need one move. Half a move would be enough.
"Impressive, truly impressive. It seems like I'm getting old."
The Retired Emperor of the Cloud Desolate Empire exclaimed as he collected his thoughts.
"That's right. The Champion King is truly a rare genius. In the future, he will definitely become a famous powerhouse on the continent and his name will shake the world!"
Immediately, the dozen or so Martial Kings revealed smiles and flattered Lu Ming.
Everyone else at the scene was dumbfounded.
They realized that the Martial Emperors who used to be superior were now acting like ordinary people, flattering the stronger ones.
"Everyone, the problem has been solved. Please take a seat and continue drinking!"
Lu Ming waved his hand and said.
After cultivating in the Earth Element Cave for more than ten days, Lu Ming's cultivation had reached the mid-first-layer Martial Emperor Realm. His strength had improved once again. Lu Ming was not surprised that he was able to kill You Ming with the third step of the Nine Dragons Heaven-Stomping Steps.
Immediately, the banquet continued.
However, everyone was in a different mood at the feast.
The people of the Blazing Sun Empire were excited.
With an expert like Lu Ming in charge, the Blazing Sun Empire would surely prosper.
Meanwhile, the people of the other empires were having different thoughts.
The feast lasted for five hours before it was announced that it was over. The crowd slowly dispersed.
Lu Ming, Lu Yuntian, and Li Ping stayed in the Imperial City for two days before returning to the Lu Clan.
On this day, Lu Ming sensed something and flew towards the Mystic Essence Sword Sect.
When Lu Ming arrived at the Mystic Essence Sword Sect, the air above the sect was filled with the smell of blood.
It was the blood cocoon formed by the Golden-Eyed Blood Zombie. It seemed that the evolution was complete.
Weng!
The blood cocoon trembled, and the surrounding blood qi was so dense that it could not be dispersed.
After a long while, the blood Qi gathered toward the blood cocoon and disappeared into it.
Kacha!
Then, the blood cocoon cracked open, and a muscular figure walked out from it.
The golden-eyed blood zombie's body was covered in a blood-red mist, and its skin had turned pale gold. Moreover, the hair on its body and the fangs in its mouth had disappeared. It looked very similar to a normal person.
A terrifying aura emanated from the Golden-eyed Blood Zombie.
This was the aura of a king.
The Golden-Eyed Blood Zombie had successfully evolved into a true King after absorbing the blood of five or six Kings and hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
"Master!"
When the Golden-Eyed Blood Zombie saw Lu Ming, a trace of excitement flashed across its face. It bowed to Lu Ming.
"Golden-eyed, you can speak?"
Lu Ming was taken aback.
"Yes, I can speak as soon as I become a King."
The Golden-Eyed Blood Zombie bowed.
"As expected, it's said that once a monster reaches the King level, it can speak as well. It seems that the King level is indeed a hurdle."
Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat. He took out a set of clothes and tossed it to the Golden-Eyed Blood Zombie. "Put these on!"
"Yes, master!"
The Golden-Eyed Blood Zombie took the clothes and put them on.
"Golden-eyed, follow me back to the Lu Family. From now on, you'll be responsible for the safety of my parents!"
Lu Ming ordered.
"Yes!"
The Golden-Eyed Blood Zombie bowed.
Lu Ming was overjoyed that the Golden-Eyed Blood Zombie had become a King.
Initially, he was worried about Lu Yuntian and Li Ping's safety. Now that the Golden-Eyed Blood Zombie had become a King, he felt more at ease with it protecting Lu Yuntian and Li Ping.
In a flash, they headed back to the Lu Family.
Not long after, they arrived at the Lu Family.
When Lu Yuntian found out that the Golden-Eyed Blood Zombie had become a King, he was shocked at first. Then, he was pleasantly surprised.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
In seven days, the scars on Lu Yuntian's face had completely disappeared. Not a single trace was left behind. He had regained his former handsomeness and resembled Lu Ming by sixty to seventy percent.
Lu Ming, Li Ping, and the rest were overjoyed.
At this time, Lu Ming bade farewell to Lu Yuntian and Li Ping. It was time to return to the Emperor Heaven Divine Palace.
After Li Ping's reminder, Lu Ming soared into the sky and left in a flash.
However, he did not head to the Emperor Heaven Divine Palace immediately. Instead, he went to the Cloud Wilderness Empire's Imperial Capital.
This was because there was still one thing that had not been resolved.
Although Lu Ming had killed You Ming in the King of Hell Manor, there were still some experts below. If Lu Ming left, there was no guarantee that these experts would harm Lu Ming's family.
He had to deal with this scourge first.
In the thirty-six countries of the Cloud Wilderness Empire, the one who understood the King of Hell Manor the most was undoubtedly the Retired Emperor of the Cloud Wilderness Empire.
Lu Ming's arrival shook the Cloud Wilderness Empire's Imperial Family. Naturally, he was able to meet the Retired Emperor of the Cloud Wilderness Empire.
The Retired Emperor of the Cloud Wilderness Empire was named Huang Xu. When he heard that Lu Ming was going to deal with the King of Hell Manor, he was naturally overjoyed.
"King Champion, my Cloud Wilderness Empire has been investigating the King of Hell Manor for close to a hundred years. Although the King of Hell Manor's headquarters is extremely secretive and no one knows about it, I have already known about it."
"In the past, I was afraid of You Ming's strength. That was why I did not attack the King of Hell Manor's headquarters. Now that You Ming is dead, it's time to get rid of this scourge."
Huang Xu was overjoyed.
"Senior Huang, there's no need for too many people. Just the two of us is enough."
Lu Ming said.
"Alright, I'll bring you there immediately!"
Huang Xu said.
After that, Lu Ming and Huang Xu flew out of the Cloud Wilderness Empire's Imperial Capital and headed towards the north.
The north of the Cloud Emperor Mountain Range was incomparably desolate. There were mountains everywhere and powerful demonic beasts roamed about.
There was no Empire here and not many people lived here.
Lu Ming and the ruins came to the top of a wide lake.
"As far as I know, there's another world under this lake. The King of Hell Manor's headquarters is under this lake."
Huang Xu said.
"It's really secretive."
Lu Ming's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Let's go!"
After that, Lu Ming and Huang Xu rushed into the lake.
True Essence covered their bodies as the two silently headed towards the bottom of the lake.
The lake was very deep. The deepest part was actually a thousand meters.
At the bottom of the lake, there wasn't much silt. Most of it was smooth rocks. In the middle of the rocks, there was a two-meter wide crack. This crack was inscribed with inscriptions, blocking the lake water so that the lake water couldn't flow down.
Obviously, the King of Hell Manor's headquarters was below.
The two restrained their auras and silently passed through the inscriptions.
After passing through the inscriptions, their eyes suddenly opened up.
Below, there were some naturally formed underground caverns that extended in all directions and were incomparably wide.
In front of them, there was a faint sound of talking.
The two of them moved and moved forward.
In a small cave, several Hell King Manor's assassins dressed in black robes were conversing.
