He looked toward Ximen Guanhai, and then he noticed the strands of causal lines on him. One of them was particularly thick that spread across the Akasa and linked with Zhong Province in the distance.
“I think this is the causal line that links to the third prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since you have the nerve to lay your eyes on my Junior Sister, I should teach you a lesson first!”
Jiang Ming gathered the force of karma in his hand and threw it toward the third prince through the causal line.
Five Elemental Linglong was standing beside him. When she noticed what he had done, she squinted her eyes and thought, ‘Is this the Karma Law? I didn’t expect that he would comprehend this kind of law. What kind of opportunity has he come across, and how many secrets he’s hiding from me?”
Linglong was startled.
If she hadn’t tested Jiang Ming before, she would’ve thought that he had been reborn like her.
“What are you doing?” Chang Yiming asked.
“There’s a bug,” Jiang Ming replied. After that, he turned around and went back into the courtyard.
He was certain that Linglong had noticed what he did just now. As for Chang Yiming, well, there was something that he shouldn’t be knowing.
“Really? Why didn’t I see any bugs?” Chang Yiming asked.
He knew that Jiang Ming had become different, and he must be hiding something from him. It was just that since Jiang Ming refused to tell him anything, he wouldn’t ask him.
Ximen Guanhai had just arrived at Taiyang Peak, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. He jerked his head back to look at Chuyang Peak, and he hurriedly went to look for the Sect Master.
Zhong Province, the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the middle of the imperial capital, the palace of the third prince…
‘The palace was massive and magnificent, with immortal lights pulsating everywhere. The divine sounds could be heard everywhere, and most of the servants here were from the Golden Core Realm. All of them looked ethereally beautiful, and each of them was a beauty in their own right.
‘They would be regarded as beauties in the world outside, but they were only servants in the palace.
The palace was filled with all sorts of decorative items to the brim, and most of them were artifacts. Some of them were blowing air, while the others were emitting cold air and glowing in a different light.
One man sat on the cloud bed in the deepest part of the room. He was none other than the third prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was renowned as a prodigy amongst his peers, and some of them even said that he had the potential of becoming an immortal.
There was a silhouette behind his back, and it was only when one went closer to him would realize that it was the Paradis projection.
It was very rare for a prince to cultivate to Paradis Realm. However, he suddenly let out a pained cry. The immortal lights on him went astray, and the various protective forces that were on him exploded, shattering the palace.
In the end, a mirror appeared. It was a supreme-grade Dao Vessel.
Crack!
The mirror cracked, and it nearly broke into half.
‘There was a cut on the third prince’s face as well. It ran across his nose, slashing through his eyes, and blood was flowing out profusely.
“Who did this!”
Deep in the imperial palace came an angry cry. A streak of sword energy then flew across the air and slashed across the karma. Just when the person was about to trace where the energy was going, he missed his chance and lost his target.
Meanwhile, several human figures appeared on top of the third prince’s palace. They looked at the crater below with a dark expression etched on their faces.
‘They were at the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There were plenty of powerful martial artists here, not to mention that the entire area was protected by several layers of formations and arrays. However, the attacker was still able to go through all the protections and injured the third prince.
‘Whoever the person was, they felt this was a humiliation for the imperial court, and their faces became even uglier when they saw the wound on the third prince’s face.
The wound was laced with the force of law, and they needed a lot of effort to cure it.
“We have to get to the bottom of this!” Someone in the palace shouted.
Eastern Region, Chuyang Peak.
“Seems like they’re not known as the Great Zhou Dynasty for nothing. They even have an array that could counter the karma force. Not only that, but the third prince has a lot of items to protect him. I guess I need a lot more than that if I want to get rid of him. Anyway, there’s still a lot of time. I shall let
him live for some time now,” Jiang Ming said.
It went without saying that he could still attack him again, but it would be a lot harder now since they had raised their guard.
As for the Projection. Well, he hadn’t met the third prince personally, so he couldn’t learn about him even if he killed him right now.
“Twonder if they can pinpoint my location through the karma force. Even though it would be very hard to do, it should be a piece of cake for martial artists who have mastered the Karma Law.
“The Fo Sect is proficient in the Karma Law. It would be very interesting if I could use the attack on them.”
Jiang Ming killed his thoughts and landed in the gazebo on the rooftop.
Chang Yiming did not follow after him. However, Jiang Ming felt he should tell his master about Yue Cheng being a member of the Yinmo Sect.
He arrived at the stone building, and a worried expression sat on his face. He pulled a talisman out, said something into it, and sent it out.
Under the gazebo…
“Senior Brother, Tian Dafeng wanted to step back just now, but Ximen Guanhai had to do something and made him piss me off,” Five Elemental Linglong said as she leaned toward Jiang Ming, “I’m sure Ximen Guanhai knows Tian Dafeng is no match for me and he has no chance to fight with me for the
position of the Sect Master, so why did he still want to do that? After all, he has been training in the outside world for so many years. He would’ve been dead already if he didn’t know how to conceal his emotion and intention.”
“He’s been mind-controlled!” Jiang Ming said.
“What?!” Linglong was stunned.
‘I don’t remember Ximen Guanhai being mind-controlled by other people!”
That said, she accepted it very soon. After all, things had become so much different from her previous life that she did not think it was strange anymore.
‘Lguess it must be because I’ve attracted too much attention after defeating so many geniuses. They all want to know my secret, so they mind-controlled Ximen Guanhai to observe me from the dark.’
“Yeah, I’ve injured the mastermind through the causal line. Although I couldn’t kill him, I’ve gotten some information. He should be controlled by the royal family from the Great Zhao Dynasty.”
“The Great Zhao Dynasty? Hold on a second. How did you manage to injure him while you were so far away from him? Did you do that again?”
“How many times do I have to tell you that I’m not like you? I don’t have such a thing!”
“Just admit it, Senior Brother. It’s not that I’m going to laugh at you.”
“Hah!”
In the mortal city below the mountain…
Gu Hai was enjoying tea with Yin Yue in a teahouse. There was an old man telling stories on the stage, and both of them were having a good time.
“You’re the First Seat of Chuyang Peak. Are you sure nothing would happen if you don’t go back?” Yin Yue asked.
“Don’t worry. Nothing would happen. Linglong has grown up a lot, and I’m sure no one, not even the Great Monarch could defeat her right now. Besides, Jiang Ming is smart and mature. He can handle every situation without any problem.”
“Well, you’re right. Anyway, the sect is going to take in more disciples after this. You’re not going to say no this time, are you?”
“Tm going to pass the First Seat to Jiang Ming, and that’s something he should be taking care of.”
“Jiang Ming? His cultivation level is pretty low. Are you sure about that? I’m worried that he might not be able to handle the situation.”
“Don’t underestimate him. I thought his cultivation level was low as well, but in the past few years, I have increasingly found that he’s hiding something from me. Also, when I went back, I found that the Holy Daughter of the Riyue Sect treated him with respect. I’m sure you know how arrogant and
prideful those Holy Daughters and Holy Sons are, so it’s very unlikely for her to treat him like that. Therefore, I’m pretty certain that Jiang Ming is hiding his strength the whole time.”
“Well, maybe you are right.”
While they were talking, two light streaks came into their minds, and their expression changed.
“What?! Linglong killed Tian Dafeng? Isn’t he the head disciple of Haoyang Peak? This is bad. Let’s go back to the sect right now!”
“calm down, Don’t you feel this is suspicious? How would Linglong kill Tian Dafeng? Judging from what I know about her, she might not even know who Tian Dafeng is, so how would she kill him?”
“That’s true. Linglong rarely left Chuyang Peak. Either Tian Dafeng went over there and provoked her, so she killed him. Is Ximen Guanhai behind this too?”
“I guess so. Ever since he came back, he has been making a lot of scenes. I’m pretty sure that he wants to become the Sect Master, and Linglong will be his biggest obstacle. Therefore, he must get rid of her as soon as possible.”
“This is bad. After all, it’s considered a violation of the sect’s rule for killing one of our own. If the Sect Master doesn’t do anything, he might not be able to calm the crowd down. If he punishes her… She has a lot of potential, and she’s the only one who can keep the sect running for another thousand
years!”
“So we should just stay here and enjoy our tea.”
“What if he really punishes Linglong?”
“Even if he’s really going to punish Linglong, you don’t have to worry about her as well. After all, even the Sect Master is no match for her. Besides, I want to see if Jiang Ming will make any move too. If things really have gone out of hand, then we’ll go back.”
“You’re their master, and you’re going to let them handle the matter themselves? You’ve changed, Gu Hai. You’re not like this in the past!”
“Well, I’m old, and the younger generations will do all right on their own.”
“I thought of wanting a kid, but after seeing what you’ve become, I think I should reconsider my choice.”
ptt”
Gu Hai spurted the tea. His face turned red in embarrassment.
Chuyang Peak.
Jiang Ming received a letter through the crane. At the same time, he also felt that a lot of people were watching them.
“The Sect Master wants to see us. I don’t have a good feeling about this.”
“Leave it to me, Senior Brother. I’ll handle it.”
“You’re right. You should try your best and talk to them.”
“What if they refuse to listen to my explanation?”
“Even if that happens, you have to keep yourself cool and don’t go around killing people. It will put our master in a difficult position. All in all, just act according to the situation.”
“alright!”
Five Elemental Linglong chuckled and went toward Taiyang Peak..
