Qing Ming City.
In the shop.
Lu Ming read their discussions and felt somewhat ashamed. All of them were good kids.
Well…Most importantly…
They were rich.
He chanced at a post started by Zhao Yunshan. It said: “About selecting a location for the Sword Card Master Association…”
It was wonderful to be rich.
“If only I had this kind of master.”
Xiao-Xiaojian was filled with envy.
Look at Zhao Yunshan!He had read Zhao Yunshan’s post. He used the best things to nurture his spirit body! He gave his spirit body almost all that it could wish for!
What about me?
Sigh.
We are both spirit bodies but our lives are radically different!
Lu Ming was speechless.
He silently purchased the small leather whip and added a note #urgent#.
…
Lu Ming did not intervene in the matters of the Sword Card Master Association. His disciples had their own research areas and carved out a path for themselves. Perhaps they would have a better future in that way.
“Everyone is working hard.”
Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
“Yes,” Xiao-Xiaojian agreed.
Besides you, everyone else is certainly very diligent.
…
Suddenly…
Bang!
There was a deafening sound.
Not too far away, a surge of energy was disappearing as things resumed to normalcy again.
Lu Ming took a glance. He did not even lift his head. Such a situation had already occurred many times that day. Some cultivators were fighting…
Yes.
The people waiting for the chance encounter were completely different from those in the past.
The people who had previously remained in Qing Ming City were spirit body hunters and most of them were itinerant cultivators. They were very low key and knew who Lu Ming was. Therefore, they would not come and join in the fun.
But this group of people…
Heh.
Most of them were big shots with wealthy family backgrounds.
Because of their family backgrounds, they came to compete for the ‘millennium chance encounter’. Some of them had been overly indulged since they were children and had super violent tempers…
Anyway, for Qing Ming City, they were the greatest hazard.
Bang!
Bang!
Occasionally, there would be some fighting and then it would stop after a while.
Bang!
Bang!
There were constant booms and bangs.
…
“Lu Ming.”
Zhang Wei called him to seek his help. “Are you able to control these guys a little?”
He really had no other alternatives.
It was true.
These guys were too different from the previous ones. A blacklisting warning had been enough to make the previous batch of people abide by the law but these guys did not give a shit about the police at all!
Especially Zhang Wei and his team.
“Just get them to be quieter. That will do.”
Zhang Wei’s head hurt. “They have small fights every five minutes and huge fights every ten minutes. The energy spreads everywhere and ordinary people can’t endure it… Our mailbox for complaints is already bursting.”
Lu Ming was shocked. “What makes you think that I can deal with this?”
“Most of these people come from big cities.”
Zhang Wei said earnestly, “According to incomplete statistics, your sister might have fought with those six-stars who are quite famous in their families before.”
Lu Ming rolled his eyes.
What the hell did he mean when he said that his sister had fought with them before?!
Besides…
If that was really the case…
Wouldn’t he be courting death if he were to go up to them?!
What a joke.
If his sister beat someone, would that person not seek to exact revenge on him?
No!
He definitely would not do that!
“I’m just an ordinary four-star.”
Lu Ming strictly refused. “These big shots are all five-stars and they have significant backgrounds. I really can’t afford to offend them.”
“Alright.”
Zhang Wei hung up the phone regretfully.
…
Bang!
Bang!
There were two booming noises again.
Lu Ming swept his gaze across the street and suddenly couldn’t see the spirit body hunters he had seen before.
Why wouldn’t they learn from the spirit body hunters that had come before them? They had been low profile, obedient, and most importantly, those spirit body hunters had recognized Lu Ming and would avoid running into him…
But this group of people?
They were basically morons.
Lu Ming had no doubt that if these people and the spirit body hunters were thrown into the legacy site together…
Hehe.
Although these guys had powerful backgrounds and abundant resources and they were also rather strong, the spirit body hunters might be the ones who would eventually survive!
They were too annoying!
“Forget it.”
Lu Ming could not be bothered with them.
At this moment…
He would rather focus on researching his cards. After all, all of his disciples were working hard and he could not fall behind either. He still had many things to do.
For example…
Bang!
There was another booming noise.
A beam of overbearing energy aura swept across him.
Shush!
Lu Ming’s train of thoughts were interrupted.
“Ah!”
Xiaobai was in the midst of creating cards and her hands trembled. A card that she was about to complete was destroyed.
“This is so annoying!
Xiaobai was furious.
“It’s okay.
“Be good.”
Lu Ming rubbed her little head. “It’s just one card.”
“I wasted a lot of energy.”
Xiaobai’s heart ached.
She drew very seriously for an hour and seeing that it was about to be completed, she was interrupted by energy fluctuations and it was destroyed in an instant!
The energy depleted was worth a lot of money!
She was infuriated.
“It’s okay.
“Be good.”
Lu Ming rubbed her tiny face and consoled her, “Read your books first. Don’t create cards anymore. It will be quiet when these guys have tortured enough.”
“Okay.”
Xiaobai went on reading obediently.
Lu Ming smiled faintly and shifted his gaze outside the shop. Looking in the direction of the energy fluctuation, the expression on his face gradually turned cold.
This group of people was really courting death!
…
Bang!
A beam of light exploded.
On the streets next door, a shop had been hit accidentally and the shop owner was so terrified that he ran away immediately.
“What is happening?”
“Those guys started to fight again…”
“Sigh, I heard that they are fighting old feuds. They fight every time they meet…”
“No one cares about this?”
“What can we do? All of them are five-stars!”
“It’s not only that. I heard that his elder brother is also very powerful. His dad is a big shot in Tian Du City…”
People were somewhat terrified.
…
Lu Ming did not intervene.
He found a spot and watched on quietly.
Although these people were scoundrels, they did not injure others. After all, they were well-educated cultivators. It was just that their behavior was quite bold and unbridled.
Lu Ming took a closer look at their faces. The look in their eyes…
He saw disregard.
Yes.
There was only disregard!
Judging the way they looked at the locals, they seemed to be watching NPCs [1.Non-player character].
Heh.
Lu Ming gained some understanding of the situation.
For these people, coming to a fifth or sixth tier city at the border with mostly two or three-star cultivators was akin to going to an instance dungeon.
After completing the instance dungeon, they would return home.
As for the rest…
Who cared?
Therefore, they were bold and fearless!
Lu Ming smiled faintly. You guys should know that NPCs can also do you in!
…
Somewhere.
A cultivator was chasing his opponent. A sword dashed across the sky and sword gleams surged. When he was about to paralyze his archnemesis, a streak of faint light suddenly flashed.
Afterward…
There was nothing.
The cultivator was puzzled. Where was his sword?!
“Where is my sword?!
“How can that be possible…”
He was filled with terror and shock.
He sensed the powers in his body and discovered that his Sword Embryo had actually disappeared without any warning. That was not the only thing. No matter how much he sensed and probed for it, there was no reaction from his Sword Embryo!
H-how could this be possible?!
“What trump card did you use?”
He cast a death stare at the person that he was chasing.
That person cast him a ridiculous glance and was suddenly excited.
“Who cares about where your sword went? Haha, your Sword Embryo is gone. Then I…”
Swoosh!
He cast his Sword Embryo to attack!
Buzz—
A streak of faint light flashed.
Afterward…
His Sword Embryo was also gone.
His face was filled with shock and terror.
The fight between two Swordsmen stopped and the two glanced at each other. They only felt their entire bodies turning cold. Damn it! What happened?
…
Somewhere, an Energy Warrior was engaged in combat.
Swoosh!
His right fist suddenly broke off from his arm and hit his opponent.
“Haha!
“You didn’t think of this, did you?”
That person was feeling smug.
Although the Energy Warrior vocation had previously experienced a crisis. The good thing was that, to a certain extent, they possessed a long-distance ability now!
Although the effect was not strong, in the event of a surprise attack…
Haha.
Bang!
His right fist blasted out like a cannon.
However…
Shush!
A streak of faint light flashed.
His right hand disappeared without a trace!
…
Similar situations occurred constantly.
People were shocked and terrified to discover that something would happen to the people who attacked others. Furthermore, things would disappear without any warning. It resembled the card that had appeared before very much!
“Is it that card again?”
“No, it’s different. I’ve seen that card before. It can only be used on Energy Warriors. Furthermore, it can only displace and don’t have much other effects. But this one…”
“It just disappeared. It’s too scary!”
“My Sword Embryo…”
“My left kidney…”
“This is a cursed ability!!!”
Curse…
The cultivators were filled with extreme horror.
Could it be that…
A big shot that cultivated curses had appeared in Qing Ming City?
If that was the case…
They were full of despair.
Cursing was a very frightening ability!
Although the Enchanter had a very weak physique and an average combat ability, a curse that had no constraints on distance was enough to make everyone afraid!
If there was really such a person…
“I want to go home!”
“I want to get my dad to come here and take a look.”
Instinctively, many people wanted to contact their families.
They had lost their vocation cores. If this could not be resolved, they could only re-cultivate and would forever be trampled by their peers. How could they take this lying down?!
However…
At this moment.
Someone captured the only Cleric in Qing Ming City at the moment.
“You!
“Yes, you!
“You’re a four-star Cleric, right?”
A burly man missing his right arm said.
“Yes.”
Wu Hongfei was on tenterhooks.
“Can you take a look at what curse this is?” that person said.
“I-I’ll take a look.”
Wu Hongfei gingerly walked towards him. While he was diagnosing the burly man, a grave expression emerged on his face. “This is strange… I actually saw the shadow of the Restart Array…”
“What?!”
Everyone’s heart trembled.
Restart Array?
“Yes.”
Wu Hongfei’s expression was grave. “You guys are also aware that the Restart Array engulfs all of Qing Ming City. Under such circumstances, if you make a move, you will affect the whole array…
“In order to allow the array to activate in time, when it senses that the array is making a move… the Restart Curse will be activated immediately!
“The objective… is to annihilate everyone who is a hindrance!”
Ss——
Everyone gasped for cold air. It was actually that serious?!
Damn it!
If they had known that it would be like this, would they still have dared to come there?
“However… I have taken a look.
“You guys are fine. You didn’t kill anyone and thus did not trigger the retaliation from the Restart Array. Your powers have been blocked by the curse. There are ways to resolve this.”
Wu Hongfei pondered deeply.
“Are there ways to resolve this?”
Everyone was elated.
“However…”
Wu Hongfei sighed. “To remove the influence of the Restart Array, countless materials are needed. It will cost a bomb and I can’t afford it!”
“It’s okay.”
The burly man patted his chest. “Money is the least of my concerns. How much?!”
“About one million yuan.”
Wu Hongfei calculated the sum for a moment. “Of course, if it’s possible, it’d be best if the big shots can give me another ten thousand yuan for the work and my efforts…”
“That’s not too expensive.”
The burly man pondered for a moment. “If it’s one million yuan. Each of us can chip in…”
“It’s one million yuan each,” Wu Hongfei said weakly.
Shush!
Everyone suddenly turned silent.
One million yuan…
Each…
They even suspected that Wu Hongfei was a swindler. However, they were the ones who captured him and they were also the ones who forced him to help them to solve the problem!
Furthermore, it was not as if they could not afford the one million yuan.
This price was right at their baseline.
Most importantly, they did not have a choice!
It had just been a while and they could already sense their energy slipping away. If this were to continue… Perhaps when their family rushed to Qing Ming City…
They would die!
“I’ll pay!”
“Solve this now!” the armless burly man said anxiously.
“Okay.”
“Pay me the money first.”
Wu Hongfei wiped his sweat. “I need to make some preparations and also need a few assistants. Wait for a while here. I’ll look for a shop to purchase some stuff.”
“Okay.”
That burly man followed Wu Hongfei.
After a long time…
Wu Hongfei finished his shopping. He prepared the items at the entrance of a shop. He then led a group of youngsters to create an array for dispelling the ‘curse’.
“Come!”
Wu Hongfei told him to walk to the center.
Shush!
He sensed a gust of wind. Suddenly, a glaring beam of light flashed. He instinctively closed his eyes. At this moment, he sensed something familiar!
Right hand!!!
Shush!
Lights and shadows vanished.
He opened his eyes and was elated to discover that his right hand had actually returned!
“Well done.”
He patted Wu Hongfei’s ghastly pale face. “Not bad!”
“It’s no problem.”
Wu Hongfei wiped away his sweat. “Remember to give me ten thousand yuan. Also, please don’t mess around again. If you taint yourself with things related to the Restart Array, I may not be able to remove the curse.”
“Understood.”
The burly man wore an austere expression.
True enough.
The millennium array lived up to its name!
At this very moment…
Seeing what had just happened, one by one, the rest of the people lunged towards them.
Hence…
One by one, those cultivators who had lost their vocation cores went forward to seek recovery. In the end, all of them recovered! However, they did not know why….
But they had a hunch that something was not quite right?
…
Somewhere.
There was a cold glint in the eyes of the young man who had just found his kidney.
Although this Cleric and the array did not have any problems, he had a hunch that something was not quite right. Therefore, he deliberately asked an Array Grandmaster.
However, the grandmaster told him that there was no such array!
In that case…
He had been swindled?!
He told a few people and everyone was enraged.
“He actually dares to fool around with us?”
“Haha, do you think it’s a six-star cultivator stirring up trouble?”
“What’s the big deal about a six-star? I’ll get my dad to kill him!”
“There has to be an explanation for this!”
“Right! The grandmaster said his disciple has also come to Qing Ming City. I’ve contacted her and she will be coming soon to help us investigate the array.”
“Remember! Prepare yourself!
“If they are exposed…
“Kill them!”
The few of them were filled with murderous intent.
Since they were young, they had never been fooled by people in this way!
The loss of one million yuan was not a big deal. However, the feeling of being conned by others made them feel like their intelligence had been insulted!
When the disciple of the top-notch Array Grandmaster arrived, they went back.
“This is the array!”
They pointed at the so-called ‘array’ that had not been removed.
“Huh?
The disciple of the grandmaster cast a puzzled glance and studied it for a moment. “Eh, c-could this be the legendary Curse Dispelling Array?”
Shush!
The arrogant cultivators suddenly quietened down.
What was a Curse Dispelling array?
Was there really such a thing?
Something was not right!
Your master didn’t mention this!
“It exists,” the disciple of the Array Grandmaster said, “I read about it in an ancient literature collection. Master is most probably unaware of it. I’ve read all the array books in the depository.”
“I see.”
Everyone had a sudden realization.
They didn’t expect that such an array really existed.
Sigh…
“We almost misunderstood brother Wu Hongfei!”
“He can contact me anytime he needs!”
“Same for me.”
“Unexpectedly, Miss Xiaoqing can recognize with one glance an array that even a grandmaster did not know about. She is truly an array genius!”
“That’s right. Miss Xiaoqing is certainly well-learned…”
Everyone was shocked.
Xiaoqing was blushing.
Her heart was thumping wildly. It was certainly not because she had seen Lu Ming again. She was just thinking that what she did did not seem good…
However…
This was the first time that Lu Ming had made a request…
Besides…
S-she didn’t lie.
The Array Association was collaborating with her master to write a new version of the textbook: “The Complete Guide to Arrays”. She might as well quietly include this array in it!
Well…
Yes!
This didn’t count as lying then!
After all, it was in the school textbooks!
Miss Xiaoqing was quietly amazed by her own intelligence.
…
