Chapter 275 - About the School Being Built on Tombs, Sorry...

Qing Ming City.

Downtown.

Lu Ming and Xiao-Xiaojian had returned to reality.

“Do you think more spirit bodies will appear?”

Lu Ming stared at the ground.

“I don’t know.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was in a daze.

Actually…

He had already picked up some of the deduction ability and had tried to deduce the position of the spirit bodies, only to discover that the appearance of the spirit bodies today was completely… illogical!

Twelve spirit bodies appeared in one go!

This was not close to his deduction!

A distance away.

A few cultivators popped their heads out and glanced. They had just sensed a large number of spirit bodies appearing. Although they knew that Lu Ming was there, they instinctively wanted to come and take a look.

W-what if it was true?

Afterward…

They saw Lu Ming rooted on the spot alone. Spirit bodies? There were none of them!

“True enough…”

“I knew it! There are no spirit bodies!”

“True enough, Lu Ming is tricking us…”

“Sigh, they say that pretty women can’t be trusted. Now, even good looking men can’t be trusted… I feel sad at the thought of it.”

“Lu Ming is very evil.”

“Exactly.”

One by one, the cultivators left.

Lu Ming rolled his eyes.

He could not no longer hope to con these cultivators.

After all, these guys were quite rule-abiding and they had not stirred up any trouble for the time being. He was more concerned with why twelve spirit bodies appeared all at once this time!

Furthermore…

They were not that powerful!

“I don’t know.”

After contemplating, Xiao-Xiaojian said, “These spirit bodies don’t seem to be naturally born.”

“Can you elaborate?”

Lu Ming was stunned.

“It’s very strange.

“Their auras are not compatible with this place… Although they’re trying to adapt diligently, they give me a very scattered feeling…

“It’s very obvious.

“It’s akin to… a decent lady who suddenly mixes with the courtesans in a brothel.”

Lu Ming cast it a strange look and then agreed. “Although I don’t know what you’re talking about. Your analogy is very good.”

This was the first time that Xiao-Xiaojian described itself as a courtesan.

Very well.

It had a high sense of self-awareness.

Xiao-Xiaojian was speechless.

I just wanted to make it easier for you to understand!

“Brothel, decent family…”

Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

“Hey, that’s just an analogy…”

Xiao-Xiaojian said.

“I know.”

Lu Ming waved his hands casually.

His thoughts were not about the brothel. He acutely sensed that a huge pair of hands was hiding in the dark, wanting to stir up trouble!

For example…

That group of men in black last time!

Those guys were plotting something in the suburbs, which would affect the downtown area!

What were they trying to do again?!

And…

If the spirit bodies were not naturally born, the only possibility was that humans had dispatched them!

If that was the case…

Where did those people dispatch them from?!

They could not possibly dispatch them from the sky because five-star spirit body hunters were prowling the streets. If they were to dispatch the spirit bodies from the top, they would be killed!

Well…

There was only one possibility!

…

“Let’s go!”

Lu Ming suddenly went home and closed the shop.

Afterward…

He took out his Original Card and dug into the ground.

“Hey, the Original Card is not meant to be used like that.”

Xiao-Xiaojian wanted to resist.

“Shut up.”

Lu Ming frowned slightly.

Bang!

The Original Card spun and dug along the gaps of the cracks. It bypassed the rebar structures and dug out a deep pit in the soft earth.

Buzz—

The cold and sinister aura intensified.

“Light up!” Lu Ming said.

Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.

I’m a dignified ancient sword spirit, not some multi-purpose outdoor tool…

Shush!

There was a faint glow on the Original Card as it lit up the pit that had been dug.

“Continue to dig!”

Lu Ming instructed.

Bang!

The Original Card spun rampantly.

It continued to dig into the hole.

The sinister and uncanny aura was constantly increasing. It was like a stretch of darkness underground. After all, this was different from the ancient tomb expedition they had done last time.

This time…

Lu Ming was digging the pit from scratch!

After a long time…

Click!

There was a crisp and clear sound.

The Original Card seemed to have hit something hard.

Lu Ming glanced over and his expression turned grave. After digging for hundreds of meters, an ancient stone door actually appeared in the deepest part!

What was this?

An ancient tomb?

Lu Ming still remembered the ancient tomb beneath the school!

Unexpectedly…

There was one here too!

This place…

Lu Ming felt creeped out.

This was not the first time that he heard various rumors and news that the school was built on an ancient tomb… that the neighborhood built on an ancient tomb… and that the factory was built on an ancient tomb…

Never did he expect that all of this was true!

It was actually possible that a tomb was beneath his shop!

…

Just the thought of it unsettled him.

Especially in this mysterious world!

Think about it… When sleeping one day, if a certain big short who was nourished by the ancient tomb for a millennium awakened and then climbed onto your bed, would you be able handle it?

…

“I have a question.”

Lu Ming suddenly thought of something. “Did you also dig yourself out from here?”

Xiao-Xiaojian was silent.

It had been asleep for ages and did really did not know what had happened exactly. However, as an ancient sword spirit, it actually lost its sword body and became a spirit body…

It was very curious about what had happened.

As for this place…

“It’s unlikely.”

Xiao-Xiaojian carefully sensed the place. “This place doesn’t feel like home.”

Lu Ming was silent.

Why did he suddenly feel goosebumps all over his body?

You’re in an ancient tomb. Why are you looking for your home?!

…

Before his eyes…

There was a stone door.

Lu Ming gingerly cleared up the soil around it with the Original Card. The entire stone door was revealed. He discovered some engraved lines which he had never seen before on the door.

This was an ancient five-star restriction!

Bang!

Lu Ming tried to attack it.

There was no reaction.

The seemingly ordinary stone door did not change the slightest bit after Lu Ming’s blow. Most interestingly, there were not even any booming noises!

The echo…

“Noise has been canceled.”

Lu Ming had a sudden realization.

This stone door possessed energy!

Yes.

The seemingly ordinary stone door was supported by energy. This was the only way that it could easily cancel Lu Ming’s attack!

It could only do that when it had sufficient energy!

However, how could a stone door that had been underground for countless years possess energy?

Who cared!

If this was a restriction supported by energy, it was much easier to deal with.

Shush!

Lu Ming raised his hand and cast a Meltdown Card.

Click!

There was a crisp and clear sound from the stone door.

Again!

Lu Ming threw a few Meltdown Cards successively and the stone door shook slightly. He gave it a gentle push and the stone door, which had been silent for a long time, finally opened slowly.

“This is…”

Lu Ming took a glance and was stupefied.

“An ancient tomb.”

He knew it.

From the moment he saw the stone door, he guessed that an ancient tomb might be beneath it. However, Lu Ming was surprised at the size of this ancient tomb…

Buzz—

The Original Card shone.

Lu Ming looked afar and could not see the end.

That was right!

He could not see the walls!

Greeting his eyes… were many graves…

This was not an ancient tomb. Damn! This was a group of ancient tombs!

Ss——

Lu Ming was stunned.

A group of ancient tombs…

He did a brief estimation of the size of the tombs and was shocked and terrified to discover that they were not just beneath the downtown area but all of Qing Ming City…

Wait a minute.

In that case…

Lu Ming suddenly realized that the ancient tomb beneath his school might be part of this enormous group of ancient tombs!

So as to speak…

Qing Ming City was built on ancient tombs!

This place…

“This is crazy!”

Lu Ming muttered to himself.

Damn!

He should have long thought of it.

Qing Ming City…

Damn! This name sounded very inauspicious!

“It’s no wonder that it nourished that kind of python.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was shaking all over. Obviously, it was very excited.

Although this was not the place of his deep slumber, the aura here suited his taste very much, especially the place that nourished the python…

Ah.

It must be a very comfortable place!

At the thought of this…

It was glowing all over and began searching amongst the ancient tombs.

Heh.

As long as it could find the ancient tomb which nourished the python, it could increase its ability tremendously and even level-up!

However…

Just at this moment…

Click!

There was a faint sound.

Nearby, sounds were coming from one of the graves.

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

Damn it!

What is going to come out of the ground?

“Python! Python!”

Xiao-Xiaojian was excited.

It had been a long time since he experienced the feeling of being filled with a sinister aura…

“Shut up!”

Lu Ming transmitted his thoughts and chided it.

This was not a certain ancient tomb. This was a group of ancient tombs!

He did not know what was in this place, how many spirit bodies there were and how many burial items. What if consciousness were born in some of these guys…

Just the thought of it alone was scary…

“Don’t worry.”

Xiao-Xiaojian pursed its lips. “Humans don’t turn into spirit bodies after death! Even if they do, it doesn’t have anything to do with the owner. It’s purely because a spirit body has been nourished! Furthermore, although this is a group of ancient tombs, only a few of them have the conditions to nourish spirit bodies…”

“Haha.”

Lu Ming could only sneer.

That’s because you have not seen the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor…

If you encountered a fanatic like Qin Shi Huang [1. Qin Shi Huang was the founder of the Qin dynasty and was the first emperor of a unified China.], perhaps you would nourish a troop of spirit bodies too!

However…

Lu Ming quietly went to take a look at his Sea of Consciousness.

Well…

Brother Cat was still lounging and sleeping.

Lu Ming instantly felt more at ease.

To put it bluntly, putting aside the king of hell, only spirit bodies would appear in this place. With Brother Cat around, all the demons and ghosts were doomed!

Hence…

He gingerly walked over.

Shush!

In the ancient tomb, the sounds of his footsteps had never been as clear and distinct.

However, just as Lu Ming approached the tomb, many black figures appeared among the graves and launched attacks. Lu Ming, who was long prepared, ducked the attacks immediately!

Shush!

Countless figures appeared before his eyes.

“Men in black?!”

Lu Ming was surprised.

That familiar style. Who else could it be besides them?!

“You guys are the one who released the spirit bodies?”

Lu Ming suddenly recovered from his senses.

This spot was downtown. According to what Xiao-Xiaojian said, if spirit bodies could penetrate the ground directly, it was highly possible that they were released from this place!

Which meant that…

These spirit bodies were actually dispatched by the men in black!

The men in black were silent.

There were cold glints in their eyes and they were already locking onto Lu Ming. Since they had been discovered, they could only silence him! They were very familiar with this kind of situation.

“You guys don’t know me?”

Lu Ming asked.

He wanted to find something out from the men in black.

The men in black gradually surrounded him.

“I’m Lu Ming.”

Lu Ming removed his mask.

The men in black approached him in a cold and aloof manner.

Lu Ming sighed. “I can tell that you’re killers who undergo cultivation in one glance… But guys, can you at least pay attention to news and gossip? I’m quite famous.”

The men in black had already surrounded him.

“Alright.”

Lu Ming sighed.

The other party refused to utter a word. What else could he do?

Oo…

He took a closer look at these few people. One of them was a beginner five-star and three were peak four-stars. To a certain extent, this was already a very powerful line-up!

It was a pity.

They were encountering Lu Ming…

Hehe.

He would be worried if they were monsters nourished by the tomb, but humans?

…

Whoosh!

Cold beams of light streaked across the tomb.

The Original Card drifted past.

An outburst of four-star energy completely drowned the few men in black. Lu Ming could not even be bothered to release his mental strength. He fought them directly head-on!

Bang!

The Original Card swept across them.

Three peak four-star men in black were immediately severely wounded.

Shush!

The five-star was stunned.

Obviously…

Lu Ming’s ability was beyond his expectations.

…

“Hehe.”

Lu Ming’s lips curled to reveal a smile.

True enough.

Even without Moonblade, he was unequaled amongst the four-stars! He could not even be bothered to cast his cards. One Original Card + a four-star ability was enough!

The Original Card, which was powerful enough, coupled with the support of a massive amount of energy…

He was invincible!

When he was a three-star, he relied on a massive number of Energy Cards and could barely fight a four-star. Now, he could easily achieve that!

A four-star?

It was not a threat to him!

…

The lone five-star man in black fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly…

Lights surged in his hands and a massive Fireball suddenly charged towards Lu Ming. Its powerful energy which uniquely belonged to a beginner five-star was terrifying.

Bang!

Flames were rushing towards him.

Five-star Fireball…

Lu Ming had a grave expression on his face.

He could not fight him head-on!

He had to take it slowly in testing his combat ability.

If he were to use the Original Card to fight it head-on and fail, it would spell trouble if the Original Card was destroyed…

Oh.

He would try to crack it first.

Shush!

A beam of Sword Aura shot out from his hands. He wanted to make use of the powers of the Sword Aura Card to burst this Fireball prematurely. However, most shockingly, the moment the enormous Fireball collided with the Sword Aura, it disintegrated and turned into small masses of Fireballs that dashed towards his three teammates at an even faster speed.

Bang!

There was a deafening sound.

The trio was blasted to death instantly.

Shush!

That five-star man in black wore a cold and aloof expression. In a flash, he retreated and escaped!

There was a look of shock on Lu Ming’s face.

Brother!

Did you read the wrong script?

First, you don’t know me. Second, you’re much more powerful than me. At such a time, shouldn’t you release your most powerful combat ability to kill and silence me?

Why the hell did you kill your teammates and escape?!

Are you that cowardly?

…

Lu Ming was furious.

It was true.

He felt that these cultivators who came to Qing Ming City had water in their brains. Each of them was super cowardly.

Why did you run away despite not knowing who I am?!

Do you guys have plug-ins?

You can guess that my true combat ability is stronger than you guys’?

Shush!

Lu Ming threw the card in his hand without any hesitation.

Stealing Card!
