Necromancer, summon skeletons, practice the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Skill

Unable to sleep that night, the two of them remained in the sideways position all night, feeling both painful and happy.

When Lu Ming was about to be unable to bear the torment, the morning sun suddenly shone through the gap in the curtains.

"Ruyan, since it's already daybreak, you should get some sleep! I'll get up first, take a shower, and calm down."

"Um……"

As he spoke, under Liu Ruyan's somewhat disappointed gaze, Lu Ming panted, loosened his arms around Liu Ruyan, stood up from the bed, and went to the bathroom.

After a while, when Lu Ming finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, Liu Ruyan also got up and changed her clothes.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Liu Ruyan pretended that nothing had happened last night. With a sweet smile, she said calmly, "Lu Ming, thank you for last night. If you hadn't been there when it thundered, I don't know what I would have done."

"You're welcome. This is what I should do." Lu Ming laughed awkwardly, not knowing what to say. He just said a few words casually. After Liu Ruyan washed up, they left the room.

After last night, even though nothing actually happened between the two, their relationship has taken a step further.

After having breakfast with Liu Ruyan, Lu Ming used his spiritual sense to scan the entire city again and found that compared to yesterday, there were many more powerful auras in the city.

These auras all belonged to a group of high-level magicians and mages. Although they tried their best to hide, they were still unable to escape Lu Ming's control.

However, judging from their aura, these strong men were not sent by the Dark Council.

Obviously, after Lu Ming killed two great magicians of the Dark Council, they did not dare to act rashly.

So it can be judged that these people should be coming for Liu Ruyan.

At the same time, when Lu Ming's spiritual consciousness passed through the City Lord's Mansion, he found that the magicians were talking to the City Lord of Sunset City.

In the magnificent mansion of the Lord of Sunset City, several mages of extraordinary temperament sat around an exquisite wooden round table. Their eyes were sharp and their expressions were serious, revealing a majesty that should not be underestimated.

Each of these magicians is a well-known figure in the magic world. They come from different families, and these families have played a key role in the destruction of the Liu family.

At this moment, they were having a secret meeting with the Lord of Sunset City.

The city lord is a middle-aged man with a resolute face and an unquestionable decisiveness between his brows.

He knew that Sunset City was an important city on the border of the empire, and any disturbance could lead to unpredictable consequences. However, facing the requests of these magicians, he had to consider it carefully.

"Everyone," the city lord said, with a barely perceptible worry in his voice, "I understand your request. But you also know that private fighting is strictly prohibited in Sunset City. This has always been our rule."

One of the magicians, an older woman, said with sharp eyes, "Lord City Lord, we are naturally aware of the rules of the city. But the situation this time is different. Liu Ruyan's appearance involves the interests of many families and even the stability of the empire."

Another magician, a middle-aged man, continued, "We don't intend to cause chaos in the city. We just need an opportunity to take Liu Ruyan away from here. What happens next will no longer affect Sunset City."

The city lord was silent for a moment. He knew that these families were powerful and that confronting them would undoubtedly bring serious consequences. Moreover, there was the shadow of the imperial family behind them, which forced him to be more cautious.

"Okay," the city lord finally made a decision, "I agree to provide you with convenience, but you must ensure that you will not cause large-scale damage in the city, otherwise..."

"Otherwise we are willing to bear all the consequences." The older female magician said, her tone full of unquestionable firmness.

The city lord nodded, agreeing to their plan.

He knew that this might be a gamble, but if Liu Ruyan's problem could be solved smoothly, it would also be a relief for Sunset City.

After the meeting, the magicians left the City Lord's Mansion with satisfaction. Their plan had been tacitly approved by the City Lord. Next, they only had to wait for the right time to take action.

In the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord sat alone on a chair with a frown on his face.

He knew that this decision might bring him a lot of trouble, but for the peace of Sunset City, he had no choice.

He could only pray that everything would go smoothly and not cause any bigger disturbances.

This secret meeting cast a shadow on the tranquility of Sunset City and also foreshadowed the coming storm.

All of this was under Lu Ming's consciousness, and he already had a plan in mind.

Lu Ming withdrew his spiritual sense and focused his attention on the giant dragon Yan Jin.

After Yan Jin left the hotel last night, he roamed freely in the city. As a sanctuary-level monster, he had superb skills in hiding his aura. Except for Lu Ming and the god-level strongmen, no one could detect his existence.

At this moment, Yan Jin was lying on a roof, enjoying the warm sunshine and breeze, holding a few roast ducks that he got from somewhere and tasting them leisurely.

Suddenly, Lu Ming sent a message to Yan Jin through his spiritual sense: "Stop eating, come back quickly and prepare for battle!"

Upon hearing the word "battle", Yan Jin immediately became excited. He quickly swallowed the roast duck in his hand, and then his figure disappeared in an instant, leaving only a breeze.

A moment later, Yan Jin appeared in the restaurant where Lu Ming was.

"Master, where are the enemies? I will help you destroy them." Yan Jin looked around, looking for traces of the enemy, looking eager to try.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, the show will start soon, and you will have plenty of opportunities to perform."

As soon as he finished speaking, the restaurant was surrounded by a group of aggressive magicians and knights.

These were the forces that had participated in the destruction of the Liu family. After reaching an agreement with the city lord, they came out in full force with their elite forces, vowing to capture Liu Ruyan and bring her to justice.

However, they did not know that the treasure beside Liu Ruyan had been refined by Lu Ming, and they did not know that the seemingly ordinary young man sitting with Liu Ruyan was actually a great mage-level strongman, and the seemingly inconspicuous pet on Lu Ming's shoulder was actually a sanctuary-level existence.

As the restaurant was surrounded, the customers inside fled in panic. In the end, only Lu Ming and Liu Ruyan were left sitting there calmly.

Yan Jin did not receive Lu Ming's instructions, nor did he take action immediately. He just looked at the enemies with a teasing look, as if he was disdainful of their threats.

Soon, the magicians and golden knights walked out of the crowd.

They ignored Lu Ming and focused their attention on Liu Ruyan. They threatened, "Liu Ruyan, we have surrounded this place. Even if you are a space mage, there is no way you can escape."

"Now either surrender and come back with us, or you'll blame us for being rude."

"You should feel honored that several of us magicians are working together today."

Liu Ruyan looked at them coldly, fearless and with disdain on her face, she angrily said, "Go back? Why should I let you go back? You all joined forces to destroy our Liu family, and I haven't even taken revenge on you yet, yet you dare to come and die. Don't even think about leaving today!"

"Arrogant!" A magician said in a deep voice with cold and murderous eyes: "You are looking for death! Do you really think we dare not kill you?"

At this time, Lu Ming spoke up. He knew that these people would not give up, but he still smiled faintly and said teasingly: "While I am in a good mood, I will give you one chance. Get out of my sight immediately. I can pretend that nothing happened. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Lu Ming's warning echoed in the air, but the arrogance of the besiegers did not diminish. A mage with a full beard and provocative eyes laughed loudly, "Boy, you are so bold, aren't you? You dare to act so presumptuous in front of us mages! Who do you think you are? A great mage? What a joke!"

Another old man in a gorgeous robe and with gray hair also snorted coldly: "Young man, you are too naive. This is Sunset City, not a place for you to act wild. Liu Ruyan, follow us obediently, otherwise..."

Lu Ming sat there quietly, with a disdainful smile on his face, watching everything happening in front of him calmly.

He didn't seem to care about the threats and provocations from the people around him, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

However, when someone dared to challenge him, his eyes instantly became cold and sharp, exuding a chilling aura.

He stood up slowly, and the air around his body seemed to solidify. An invisible pressure spread out, making it impossible to ignore his presence.

Facing those who surrounded him, he asked indifferently: "What else?"

His voice was deep and powerful, with an unquestionable majesty.

This sentence hit people's hearts like a heavy hammer, making them realize that they may have offended someone they shouldn't have offended.

Hearing Lu Ming's words, a knight in golden armor in the crowd couldn't help but burst into laughter. He drew out his sword, pointed it at Lu Ming, and said arrogantly: "You are looking for death! Brothers, come on!"

His words were full of confidence and arrogance, and he obviously thought he could easily defeat this ignorant guy.

However, just as he finished speaking, Lu Ming's eyes suddenly shone with dazzling light.

A vast wave of magical power erupted instantly, covering the entire restaurant inside and out in an invisible barrier.

This powerful force is suffocating, as if time has stopped.

At the same time, Yan Jin also showed its strength. It flapped its wings lightly and expanded its territory.

The flames in the area burned fiercely, and the scorching temperature caused the surrounding air to distort. Its appearance made people feel fear and awe, as they had never seen such a powerful existence.

Under the interaction of Lu Ming's magic fluctuations and Yan Jin's domain, an indestructible line of defense was formed. Anyone who dared to challenge them would be ruthlessly blocked out and unable to break through this barrier.

“Great…Great Mage!!”

"A powerful Saint-level person!!!"

At this moment, everyone fell to their knees under the powerful pressure, screaming in horror.

They looked at Lu Ming and the pet on his shoulder in disbelief.

How can this be?

A man who looks so young is actually a great magician!

And the pet on his shoulder can actually emit such a terrifying aura!

Be it the arrogant magician or the people outside the restaurant, they were all so shocked by the strength displayed by Lu Ming that they were speechless.

Especially those magicians, they originally thought they had met a soft persimmon that they could bully at will.

But now, they realized that they had offended someone they shouldn't have.

Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, the arrogant magicians were now terrified to the extreme. They all knelt on the ground, apologized repeatedly, begged for forgiveness, and hoped to leave in peace.

Their voices trembled and their eyes were filled with fear, in stark contrast to their previous arrogance.

"Please spare us, we...we don't know who you are," one of the magicians said, his voice trembling with endless fear and regret, almost begging, "Please be magnanimous and give us a chance to reform."
