Chapter 208: The Aeonians
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Ming continued to circulate his breathing technique and prepared to advance!
Nothing could stop Lu Ming’s determination to advance!
Except… danger…
He had been circulating the breathing technique for less than ten minutes when a loud explosion suddenly sounded from above.
Lu Ming frowned and looked up, and he heard a continuous rumbling sound.
Outside the door, Roxin’s anxious voice could be heard.
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, something bad is happening! We have enemies! Enemies from the Spirit Realm!”
Without Lu Ming’s permission, she walked into his room and began to shout frantically.
Then, she said, “We have to escape quickly…”
However, after saying this, Roxin was suddenly stunned.
Looking at Lu Ming’s expressionless face that was vaguely filled with anger, Roxin finally realized something.
The guy in front of her seemed to be a monster…
Although when he first arrived, Roda said that this person was only at the third-level of the Physique Realm, his performance during the advancement was far beyond what a third-level Physique Realm person could achieve…
Even whether a Spirit Realm expert could do it was debatable.
This made Roxin realize something—this person was a monster, a person who played dumb to win his opponent eventually.
This kind of weirdo was the favorite thing to write in novels…
Now that the enemy had knocked on the door, there was a monster pretending to be weak beside her.
How should she handle this…
After thinking for a moment, Roxin immediately showed a pitiful expression.
“Mr. Lu, save me… for the sake of my brother.”
This made Lu Ming look at Roxin from above.
After a moment of silence, Lu Ming said softly, “Your brother is your brother, and you’re you…”
Roxin’s expression changed, and she was about to say something when Lu Ming continued, “On account of you cooking for me all these days…”
As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the room.
He looked towards the entrance to the underground martial arts arena.
Soon, the explosions subsided, and a figure slowly walked into the underground martial arts arena from the entrance.
That person had a somewhat peculiar appearance.
He was tall, about three meters in height, bald with a massive single eye in the center of his forehead.
In addition, this person also had four arms.
Seeing this person’s face, Luo Xin was slightly stunned before her beautiful face turned pale.
“Evil Spirit!?”
“Evil Spirit? What’s that?”
Lu Ming asked curiously and the person who heard it said, “This is my name.”
Lu Ming was enlightened.
Roxin’s anxious and slightly sobbing voice sounded in his ears again.
“Evil Spirit is well-known in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. He’s a lone traveler, a Level one Spirit Realm expert. He often roams the various ruins in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. However, what’s even more famous about him are his despicable and cruel methods…”
When she mentioned the words “despicable and cruel methods”, Roxin couldn’t help but shiver.
“It’s said that this person is lecherous… any woman who falls into his hands is better off dead…”
Roxin was genuinely terrified, and as she spoke, she quietly hid behind Lu Ming.
After hearing Roxin’s words, Lu Ming frowned, but Evil Spirit laughed.
“Don’t worry, little darling, you’re very useful and worth a lot of money. I won’t go against a walking gold mine like you.”
“But you,”
Evil Spirit turned to look at Lu Ming, his expression becoming much more serious.
“Did you cause the commotion just now?”
Lu Ming remained silent.
Evil Spirit did not care and continued, “Then you probably have some strength, although you look weak, I’ll consider you as a fellow expert for now.”
With that said, Evil Spirit raised his hand and pointed at Roxin, who was behind Lu Ming.
“Someone offered a sky-high price for this woman! Hand her over to me and I’ll split the benefits with you.”
Lu Ming shook his head slightly… He was not someone who cared about material possessions.
On the other hand, this Evil Spirit came up to him to chat with him… Perhaps he was a sensible person…
This made Lu Ming say, “Can’t we not fight?”
Evil Spirit was stunned. He had indeed never seen this trick before.
But after giving it some thought, Evil Spirit felt that this suggestion might actually be feasible.
In the Spirit Realm, unlike in the Physique Realm, individuals were considered significant figures wherever they went.
Unless the benefits were enormous, it was common for Spirit Realm experts to avoid fighting each other.
The main point was that the benefits were substantial…
Thinking of this, Evil Spirit raised his head and looked at Roxin. He smiled and said, “If you can offer me double the price, I might consider not going through with this deal.”
“Well, young lady, as an Aeonian, you should be quite wealthy, right?”
As soon as he said the word “Aeonian”, Lu Ming raised an eyebrow.
Lu Ming turned to look at Roxin. He really did not expect Roxin, Roda, and Uncle Lu to be the legendary Aeonians.
With Roda leading Uncle Lu and seven others, they quickly arrived in the inner part of the Imperial City District.
The inner part of the Imperial City District was a massive palace, with a grand entrance that occupied a large area—this place used to be the residence of the royal family of the Flame Clan.
Possibly, the Imperial City District itself had strong restrictions, which caused the defense and security of the palace to be somewhat lax. With little effort, Luo Da broke open the palace’s main gate and led the group into the palace..
And they saw jade pillars and golden eagles, with jewels scattered everywhere.
Faint energy fluctuations came from all directions, indicating that there were treasures and rare items everywhere.
However, no matter how much wealth in gold and silver, or even Source Realm and Ancient Realm Source Power Skills, none of it was as important as the objective of this trip!
That objective was none other than the Inheritance of the Jing God!
“Follow me!”
Roda took the lead and quickly brought everyone to the palace’s ancestral hall.
Surveying the surroundings, after a brief contemplation, Roda spoke softly, “The Inheritance of the Jing God is right here…”
Just as he said this, a sudden burst of arrogant laughter echoed from outside.
Everyone turned to look, and in the distance, the Spirit Realm members of the Divine Dao Alliance, led by Li De, were flying towards them at a rapid pace.
Soon, the members of the Divine Dao Alliance blocked Roda and the others inside the ancestral hall.
The two sides confronted each other, and the atmosphere grew tense.
Li De took a step forward and walked up to them.
He looked at Roda and smiled.
“Roda, a member of the Eternal Clan.”
“Thirty-five years ago, you, Roda, brought your servants and sister to Archean City.”
“Outsiders believed you had found an opportunity in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and quickly broke through to the Spirit Realm. But little did they know that you, Roda, came from the wealthy families of the Aeonians, with exceptional family heritage and talent. It’s quite unusual for someone like you to not have achieved the Spirit Realm …”
Hearing Li De’s words, Roda narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “So what?”
Li De smiled gently,”That’s why I’m very curious. Curious as to why a scion of the Aeonian family like you would come to a remote and impoverished place like Archean City…”
Before Roda could respond, Li De’s laughter suddenly grew louder, “Guess what? I actually found the reason why you came here.”
Roda frowned and heard Li De say, “His family fell from grace and his family was wiped out. He fled alone with his old servant and sister, hoping to obtain strength to exact revenge…”
“The Jing God’s inheritance is your best choice..”
