"Annoying ant!"
Once they were out of the city, Wu Ming frowned and said unhappily.
"Hmm? What? "
Lin Xinlan stood in front of Wu Ming and became alert. Although she knew that with Wu Ming's strength, there was no need for her to protect him, but if the Lord had to do everything personally, then what was the use of subordinates?
Whoosh whoosh!
A light breeze blew past and the surroundings were silent.
This place was originally a desolate place with no end in sight. Even Lin Xinlan did not see any traces of people walking past.
"Still pretending?"
Wu Ming's expression did not change as he looked at an ordinary mound: "Do you want me to drag you out?!"
"Hehe, as expected of the Fallen Deity, this method … this little girl is convinced!"
Buzz buzz!
Above the mound, the air distorted and fog appeared, as if a curtain had been removed from the surrounding scenery, revealing the scene behind.
The shadow of a monster was lying on the ground. It had the head of a snake and the body of a fish, with six long legs. The fog just now was clearly emitted by it. Now that it appeared, a savage aura was instantly revealed.
A fierce beast!
With just one look, Lin Xinlan felt a little suffocated. Such a fierce beast would definitely be barren wherever it passed. This represented a disaster, or even the destruction of a country!
Luckily, she had recently started to cultivate the Dark Nether True Technique and activated the ancient divine beast — Frost Dragon's bloodline. After the shock, she did not make a fool of herself and instead became even more vigilant.
"Hmm?"
A low voice came from below the fierce beast. Then, the shadow disappeared and two figures appeared, one old and one young, one male and one female.
Lin Xinlan recognized that the old man was Elder Shen Shui. The female was dressed in green and her face was covered with a thin veil. Her black and bright eyes were filled with spiritual energy, like a green lotus that was untainted by dust.
"Fallen Deity?"
Wu Ming was a little speechless: "Are you talking about me?"
"That's right … Young Master, have you seen the latest Celestial Phenomenon Ranking? Because Young Master single-handedly defeated the Ghost Might of the Soul Seeking Mountain, and because you have immortal techniques, you're given the title of 'Banished Immortal' …"
The Azure Lotus Maiden spoke in an ethereal and clear voice that did not seem to be tainted by a single speck of dust.
"I didn't expect the Saintess of the Green Lotus Sect to be hiding in a brothel …"
Wu Ming chuckled and said, "Previously … the robbery in Maple City was also done by you guys, right? Since when … did the Green Lotus Sect, one of the Eight Great Sacred Lands of the secular world, have to act so timidly? "
"I didn't expect that … Young Master could actually discover this little girl!"
The Lotus Maiden was surprised. "I'm quite confident in the concealment ability of my cultivation technique … I wonder where I've let the cat out of the bag. Would Young Master be willing to tell me honestly?"
When she asked, her eyes revealed a look of yearning, lovely and moving. Even if a man with a heart of stone looked at her, he couldn't help but feel tenderness.
"You have the strength of a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant, and your martial arts are exactly the same as Old Man Divine Water. However, your true qi is even stronger, and you're also from the Green Lotus Sect. Other than the Saintess of the Green Lotus Sect, who else could it be?"
Wu Ming smiled: "As for the concealment method, the ferocious beast you revealed just now was Ran Yi, right?"
After reading so many books, he is no longer the same as before, his understanding of Shen Wu world has become much deeper.
The Age of Old [Records of Wild Beasts] states: 'Ran Yi, a ferocious beast in the water! A snake head, a fish body, horse ears and six legs, it's not evil to eat it, it's proficient in spells and can cause nightmares. '
The water curtain just now was obviously a spell activated by the Lotus Saintess using her bloodline power.
But playing around with this in front of Wu Ming is the same as playing around in front of Guan Yu.
But of course, he won't say any of this.
Seeing how stubborn Wu Ming is, the Lotus Saintess felt a bit depressed.
"I didn't know, the Saintess has already entered Celestial Phenomenon realm, yet you're still a nobody, not caring about fame and fortune, how admirable …"
Wu Ming slowly said.
"There are as many geniuses in the world as there are fish in a river, Shui Ling 'er was only lucky enough to enter Celestial Phenomenon, what's there to be happy about?"
The Lotus Saintess' answer was very appropriate, allowing Wu Ming to know her name.
"As for what happened in Maple City, it was a matter of authority!"
She bitterly smiled, frowning her eyebrows, enough to break any man's heart, "My Blue Lotus Sacred Ground is facing the danger of destruction, my Master and the other elders are being held back, they can't be trusted, I wanted to break through as soon as possible, so this was the only way!"
This Shui Ling 'er didn't try to hide anything and admitted what happened in Maple City.
"Oh? The Saintess isn't afraid of Maple City looking into this? "
Wu Ming curiously asked.
"Afraid! Of course I am! The Water Splitting Sword is always cold, even my Master would have to spend a lot of effort to take it down. Not to mention, none of the four great forces of Maple City are weak, can gongzi keep this a secret? "
Shui Ling 'er lightly laughed and answered.
"A secret? That depends on my mood … "
Wu Ming rolled his eyes, "But you guys, you've been following me ever since I left Maple City, right? What are your intentions? Tell me the truth! Otherwise, I don't mind leaving two corpses here! "
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, a line of water shot straight into the sky, accurately hitting a black dot.
Pa!
The black dot let out a scream, and many black feathers drifted down like a meteor. It was an eagle-like creature, but it was smashed into a meat patty on the hard ground.
"Hei Xiong?"
Elder Shen Shui exclaimed. He looked at Wu Ming with shock and anger, but there was also a hint of fear in his eyes. "How can you do this?"
"This feathered beast has been monitoring me the entire time, what else does it want?"
Wu Ming shrugged, and two streams of water appeared around him. The atmosphere instantly became extremely heavy.
"Ran Yi? Although it's not one of the ancient desolate beasts I was hoping for, it's still not bad … "
He looked at the Green Lotus Saintess with a coldness that could freeze one's soul, "Since this girl is a sect master candidate, she must have learned the orthodox Lake Tribe, one of the eight Godfiend level manuals left behind by the Martial Emperor!"
"Looks like the Lake Tribe martial arts will awaken the Ran Yi bloodline at the end! For this girl to cultivate to this stage, she has already nurtured her bloodline to the limit. Next, she will enter the Hundred-day Nirvana stage and attempt to forge a Godfiend body to enter the Godfiend realm … "
"If I capture her, I might be able to pry into the secrets of the Lake Tribe's divine techniques through her!"
…
Wu Ming suddenly had the thought of attacking.
Whoosh!
As the world in his body contracted and expanded, the wind and clouds in the outside world surged. Terrifying rain clouds gathered, forming a whirlpool. In an instant, torrential rain fell.
"Indeed unfathomable!"
The Green Lotus Saintess and Elder Divine Water looked at each other and saw the deep fear in each other's eyes.
"Young Master, please calm down!"
Shui Ling 'er said lightly, allowing the rain to fall on her clothes, "I have no intention of following you, but I have something to ask of you … And Hei Xiong can only give us a rough direction. He definitely has no intention of prying into any secrets!"
"Something to ask of me?"
Wu Ming's expression was indifferent, "I don't think that as one of the Eight Sacred Lands, you would need the help of an outsider."
"Young Master, you think too highly of us …"
Shui Ling 'er smiled bitterly, "As a Celestial Phenomenon martial artist, Young Master already has the qualifications to talk to any of the Sacred Lands as an equal!"
After a pause, she said, "What I ask of you is not for the Green Lotus Sect, but for the safety of the pugilistic world and the welfare of the people!"
For some reason, the image of the Heavenly Alliance Medallion appeared in Wu Ming's sea of consciousness in the time it took for a spark to fly.
"What is it? Speak! I will say this in advance, I will not do anything without benefits. If you still want to use righteousness to get me to stand up for you, then give up on that thought! "
Wu Ming smiled coldly.
Shui Ling 'er's heart tightened. Soon after, a smile that could topple cities surfaced on her pretty face that was faintly discernible under her veil. "Young master can be at ease with regards to the remuneration. My Greenlotus Sect will definitely satisfy young master … I've heard that young master is extremely interested in the Wu Empire and Martial Emperors. I just happen to have a daily secret record that specifically records the Martial Emperors.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, the wind and rain dissipated, and the surroundings were drenched with water vapor, faintly forming a rainbow.
Seeing this, Shui Ling 'er and Old Man Divine Water relaxed, knowing that they would not be fighting for the time being.
Although both of them were martial artists in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, they didn't know why, but when they met Wu Ming, they suddenly felt a sense of trepidation.
"Martial Emperor's secret manual? How do you prove it? "
Wu Ming asked suddenly.
"It seems that Young Master is determined to obtain this item, and did not even ask what we want!"
Shui Ling 'er smiled lightly, "As for whether it is true or not, it is very simple. We can give you the first half of the manual, and after the matter is done, we will give you the second half. How about it?"
"Saintess!"
Old Man Divine Water panicked. This was completely different from what they had discussed before.
"I have already made up my mind. Please forgive me, Elder Shui. When we return, Ling 'er will personally apologize to you!"
Saintess Green Lotus waved her hand in a very magnanimous manner, and an ancient scroll wrapped in Qi slowly floated in the air, arriving in front of Wu Ming.
Even someone on the Hero Ranking could wrap an object with Qi and send it flying.
However, to move so slowly, like a thread floating in the air, and float precisely in front of Wu Ming, was not something an expert on the Earth Origin Ranking could do.
This represented the control of Qi, which was a difficulty that those below the Celestial Phenomenon Realm could not hope to match.
Whoosh!
Faced with this, Wu Ming only blew gently, and the Qi wrapped around the ancient scroll was annihilated. However, it did not harm the book in the slightest.
Just this scene alone made Shui Ling 'er suck in a breath of cold air.
Wu Ming stretched out his right hand and firmly caught the ancient scroll. The exquisite and cold touch, as well as the charm of history, instantly allowed him to determine whether this item was real or fake.
"Very good, you did not lie to me!"
He nodded slightly, and immediately flipped open the book, reading ten lines at a glance.
Pa!
After an unknown amount of time, Wu Ming closed the book and let out a long breath, "This book is indeed useful to me. What do you want from me? Just say it."
Shui Ling 'er's face had a hint of joy, "I am willing to offer you the second half of this book. I only hope that Young Master can help me deal with someone in the future!"
