As the burly man listened, a smile appeared on his face.

He was happy that the old man was so happy.

After drinking the last mouthful of milk, the burly man paid for his meal and strode away.

This matter was over, and it was time to leave. They would meet again in the future.

He had gained a lot from this trip to the secret area, and he needed to calm down and digest it. In addition, the opening of the Black Rock Ruins was getting closer and closer, so it was time to make preparations.

Outside Clearwater City, the burly man summoned his flying sword and was about to leave.

In the city, a streak of light suddenly rose into the air and rapidly approached him.

“A Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator? No, this aura is stronger than ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators. At the very least, they’re at the advanced stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. They’re coming for me!”

The burly man’s heart trembled. However, his movements were not slow at all. He no longer cared about exposing his identity. He immediately took out the Spirit Sword Shuttle and turned into a streak of light, flying across the sky and into the distance.

The burly man was obviously Jiang Ming. He came back this time to confirm the situation of the Lu family. He did not expect that there was a Foundation Establishment Realm expert in Clearwater City.

“Are they from the Cangming Grotto-Heaven? They’ve really put in a lot of effort to catch me, a Qi Refinement Realm nobody. I was too careless this time!”

Jiang Ming thought to himself. Although his Spirit Restriction Seal had been perfected, and the change in his aura and appearance made it impossible for others to recognize him, he still had to be careful.

The Cangming Grotto-Heaven was a big and prosperous sect. Any immortal cultivator who passed by this sect or the nearby area would be hunted down directly.

“I really may not be able to win this battle.”

Jiang Ming did not have any thoughts of counterattacking. Even if he could, it would take a lot of effort, and he might attract other expert cultivators.

“Kid, stop! Otherwise, I’ll kill you without mercy!”

Behind him, a cold shout was amplified by spiritual energy.

“F*ck off. You’re nothing but a piece of trash!”

Before Jiang Ming had time to react, the black sword had already jumped and spewed curses at the back of the Spirit Sword Shuttle. Blood-red ripples spread, and it retaliated with an even louder voice.

Jiang Ming’s face was gloomy. However, he did not say a word. He merged a wisp of mystic fire into his spiritual core and activated the Mystic Flame Spirit Sacrifice Spell. His spiritual energy instantly exploded, and the Spirit Sword Shuttle was like a streak of blue lightning, drawing a thin line in the void and instantly disappearing into the sky.

“B*stard, you’re dead.” Behind him, a middle-aged figure stood on a silver flying sword. His eyes were cold as he cast a spell. His speed suddenly increased, and he chased after the Spirit Sword Shuttle.

The black sword pointed behind them and cursed, “What a b*stard! Alas, you don’t even have the guts to tell us your name!”

“My name is…” The figure on the silver flying sword was about to announce his name. However, he quickly shut up.

“Coward! You can’t even tell us your name? Get lost and go home.”

Two streaks of light flashed past the top of a city. The black sword’s curses swept through the entire city, shaking many doors and windows.

“Is this a battle between high-level cultivators?” In a certain restaurant, a few Qi Refinement Realm individual cultivators trembled as they opened their eyes.
