Volume 1: Life is but a first meeting

  Volume 2: The wind rises and the sky grows cold

  Chapter 148: Walking towards the target

  "Transmission!" Su Ming's mind was filled with a sharp and windy voice that contained an unbelievable tone.

  Su Ming remained silent, and as he galloped closer to the red-robed man, he saw the red stone in his right hand, saw the man's figure rapidly becoming blurry, and also saw the faint cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

  Three hundred zhang, two hundred and seventy zhang, two hundred and forty zhang... until the distance between Su Ming and this person was only two hundred zhang for an instant. The red-robed giant's figure had already become blurry by more than half, and under that intense red light, he seemed to be disappearing in a flash. Su Ming raised his head, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.

  For those who want to kill themselves, he has always been ruthless, this is what Ah Gong taught him, to strangle all dangerous people, and beasts that bare their fangs must pay the price!

  At the moment when the two of them were about 200 zhang apart, Su Ming's brow suddenly flashed with a small sword mark, transforming into a green light that shot out at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye, turning into a sharp whistling sound as it flew straight towards the red-robed giant.

  His massive body was almost completely transparent, and the intense red light flashing around him enveloped his shadow. His eyes revealed a mocking glint as he closed them, thinking that when he opened them again, he wouldn't see the person who killed Lin Dong, but instead would see his own tribesmen.

  But just as he closed his eyes, the big man suddenly shook all over, and when he opened them again, a small green sword came out of nowhere, piercing through his transparent body in an instant.

  A shrill and mournful cry echoed, the body of this big man split in two. The upper half of his body was enveloped in a red glow and teleported away from this place, but the lower half of his body was cut off by the small green sword and forcibly left here.

  Blood splattered everywhere, and half of the red-robed man's body fell to one side.

  The red mist gradually dispersed, and the surroundings slowly recovered. Only half of the body on the ground witnessed everything that had just happened. Su Ming came to the front of this half-body, his eyes scanning it briefly.

  "What did you just say?" Su Ming's expression was slightly tired, the power of the small sword was too great, but the cost of using it was also not small, especially when casting within a range of 200 meters, it consumed nearly 70% of the spiritual power in Su Ming's blood vessels.

  However, here, Su Ming clearly felt that the spiritual energy around him was much denser than outside, and his recovery speed had also increased a lot. This made him have an even deeper longing for that Mount Hua's Old Ancestor.

  "Master, the man in red robes just now is a member of the Yan Chi tribe, not a guest. I don't know what the stone he took out was, but its function is clearly teleportation!"

  The inscription on the stone should be... a transmission array! Just like Master was just transported here by Andonbu's power, but Andonbu can only borrow from the barbaric statue and must have an intact transmission array in the secret passage to forcibly send him over.

  But the people of Yan Chi Department were not like that, he... He actually held a miniaturized transmission array in his hand, so he could use this stone to transmit himself at any time and appear at some fixed locations in Yan Chi Department!

  "This... this is enough to show that Yan Chi Department has grasped the essence of transmission!" He Feng had calmed down and carefully analyzed for Su Ming.

  "Even the Hanyang Department at that time couldn't figure out much about the transmission framework left by Laozu, and could only use the existing one without being able to re-arrange it..."

  The treasure that Yan Chi Department snatched away back then was a jade slip, which recorded some of the ancestors' techniques and also recorded the complex changes and arrangements of the transmission array...

  "This Yan Chi Department must have made a major breakthrough in their research!"

  "Master, this trip is perilous! The guests from the east haven't arrived as scheduled, something unexpected has happened in their hometown and they can't make it! If Dongfang Hua and Chen go, they'll be walking into a trap!" He Feng's analysis was urgent and hasty.

  "You said before that the three tribes would be greatly oppressed when they came here, because they had always been slaves of the Han Mountain..." Su Ming fell silent for a moment before suddenly speaking up.

  The wind seemed to have a flash of insight and immediately said: "Master's intention, the wind understands. This Yan Chi department has a great ambition this time. The people they sent over from their tribe must be seeking magic quickly. There are many ear roots, bookworms, official yy: 3943, except for the guest family, almost all of them are their clansmen. Moreover, although I have never seen this red-robed man before, I did not feel too much restriction on him...

  "So, does this mean that Yan Chi's department has found a way to resist this restrictive force?"

  "It should be a short time to resist." Su Ming's gaze fell on the half corpse of the red-robed Han beside him, which was slowly withering away at this moment, emitting a cracking sound, as if its internal bones were being squeezed and fractured by some mysterious force, and even in that withered state, there was still a faint black gas spreading out.

  "This time, the Yan Chi Department is going to make a big move... Under the radar of the An Dong Department and Pu Qiang Department, they may have enough power to open the tomb where their ancestors are buried." He Feng muttered.

  "The layout of Handan City is going to change... Master, we must go and stop this!" He Feng suddenly spoke up, but as soon as he said it, he regretted it.

  Su Ming's body shook, and he left the place, rushing to where the black-clothed old man's corpse was. After approaching, he rummaged through his body, found a few items, put them in his storage bag, and ignored He Feng.

  "Master, I..." The wind saw Su Ming like this, and his heart became active.

  "I won't stop Yan Chi Department, nor will I beg for magic quickly. Ear root book fans official yy: 3943 has the ability to stop." Su Ming stood up from the corpse of the black-robed old man, the branding technique dispersed, spreading out in all directions for hundreds of feet, walking away into the distance.

  "But master, if Yan Chi opens the ancestral mausoleum of Lao Zu in Handan City and becomes the only dominant force, it will affect your safety at that time, and..."

  Su Ming fell silent, looking around at the secluded spot under Mount Hua, which seemed to be a world of its own. The surroundings were dimly lit, with countless bald mountains rising and falling, shrouded in mist, exuding an eerie atmosphere in the silence.

  "And then Yan Chi department entered the old ancestor's tomb, I don't know why, but it seems that once those ancestral artifacts are obtained, the increase in power is secondary, the key is that these treasures I think should belong to their master, Master you got the Qing sword, got that beast skin, with my help, it won't take many years, we may not be impossible to enter the old ancestor's tomb alone" I...". He Feng also had no way, his heart was anxious, only putting his hopes on Su Ming, hoping to persuade him.

  "He Feng, what else are you hiding from me?" Su Ming walked forward, speaking calmly, and as soon as his words came out, He Feng's voice stopped abruptly.

  "Master, I have nothing to hide. I'm worried about the intentions of the Yan Chi Department. Once they obtain the ancestor's artifact..." He Feng was about to explain.

  "Don't you know the purpose of Yan Chi Department? Whether it's Yan Chi or Pu Qiang, plus An Dong Department, don't you know their purpose?" Su Ming's speed was very fast, and in his words, he had already arrived at a barren mountain top. Standing here, facing the dull wind, he saw into the distance.

  There are many bald mountains here, and the ups and downs have formed a large number of valleys. In Su Ming's line of sight, he saw a plain surrounded by countless valleys in the distance.

  This plain was a land of sandy soil, with storms swirling inside connecting heaven and earth. Deeper down, Su Ming could vaguely see that within the storm existed a gigantic structure.

  It looks farther away, but in fact it is even farther if you walk there.

  At this moment, in Su Ming's line of sight, the extreme limit of Baidu's magic search was fast, and the official yy of Ear Root Bookworm: 3943. He could only vaguely see that a large area of stormy weather was deep within it, and around the huge building, there were three stone towers with altars that were nearly a hundred feet high.

  These three altars are far apart from each other, with distinct colors of black, red and white.

  Behind the huge building, there is a red stone tower altar. At this moment, more than ten figures wearing red robes are sitting cross-legged on the altar, and from their seats, it can be seen that they have a clear distinction between primary and secondary roles.

  Right in front of me was a beautiful young woman. She had closed her eyes, and her hair was fluttering about. On the corner of her mouth, there was a bright red mole that gave her an air of coquettishness.

  If someone else saw this woman, they would definitely recognize her at a glance. Her appearance is almost identical to the face that appears and disappears in the red mist of the Yan Chi Department's mountain peaks.

  This woman was none other than Yan Luan, the chief of the Yan Chi tribe from the mouth of the Mystic Wheel, whom Su Ming had only heard but not seen in the city of Xian Mountain years ago.

  Behind Yan Lian, two people were sitting. One of them was Han Feizi. The woman was wearing a red dress at this moment, and her face still had a veil on it, with an icy expression.

  Next to her was a man, who looked less than thirty years old. He had a dignified appearance, a robust body, and piercing eyes that would occasionally glance at Han Fei Zi beside him, revealing unreserved adoration in his eyes.

  These people sat silently, as if waiting for the rapid arrival of Baidu's magic. The official yy: 3943 waited for the passage of time, but just then, the altar suddenly burst into red light. In front of everyone, a mournful cry seemed to come from thin air and revolved around, at which point a vague figure appeared on the altar.

  This figure only had the upper half of his body, and quickly condensed from a virtual state to a solid one. When it clearly appeared, what stood before everyone was none other than the red-robed giant whose lower half had been cut off by Su Ming.

  His face was deathly pale, and he fell to the ground as soon as he appeared. His body trembled violently, but from the waist down, there was nothing left, only this half of his torso remained. The last vestiges of life were rapidly fading away. His mouth was filled with fresh blood, and he wanted to say something, but no sound could be uttered.

  His appearance caused almost all of the Yan Chi tribe members, including Han Fei Zi, to change their expressions immediately.

  Yan Chi's tribal leader, Yan Lianmei, fixed her gaze and raised her jade hand to point at the red-robed man. Instantly, a wisp of red mist shot towards him, entering his body through his seven apertures, causing the man to immediately regain his spirits.

  "Tribe leader, a new guest has arrived from the East... This person instantly killed Lin Dong..." The red-robed burly man only said this one sentence before his expression turned gloomy, but immediately, the fresh blood flowing out of his body suddenly coagulated together, flew out from his body, floated in mid-air, and transformed into a shadow of blood.

  This blood shadow is very clear, it's Su Ming wearing a mask.
