Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 136 Sweep
The ships were slowly approaching the shore, but because there were so many of them, they attracted the attention of the sect disciples on the island.

They are responsible for maintaining order at the dock.

Most of them were at the Qi Refining stage, and the leader was a man in the early Golden Core stage with a fair complexion and deep eyes.

He gazed at the large number of ships in front of him.

They arrived from afar on their flying swords, exclaiming, "Where are you from!"

He looked down at him and asked the question.

A spear appeared in Lu Ming's hand without his knowledge.

"Sizzle!" Then it was thrown out.

The spearhead tore through space.

It also left a long white streak in the night sky.

The sharp whistling sound made the Golden Core experts in the air react.

He waved his hand, conjuring a deep blue water shield on the side of his body in an attempt to block the spear.

"Bang!" But the next moment, the shield was riddled with cracks like shattered glass, and was then pierced by the spear.

His chest was pierced by a spear.

It brought out a cloud of blood mist.

A series of shrill screams echoed through the night sky, and a Golden Core expert had already died on the battlefield.

On the dock, dozens of Qi Refining Realm disciples, wielding longswords, used the sword-dragging technique to create countless sword shadows that slashed towards the ship.

As the various colored sword beams fell, emitting a shimmering luster...

The sky was filled with piercing noises.

Lu Ming moved through the air.

Behind him, cyan-gold dragon and elephant phantoms gathered.

"Roar!"

As he swung his long sword, the roar of a giant beast resounded.

A massive blade of light pierced the air ahead.

It slashed fiercely into the group of swords.

The hundred-foot blade's edge is invincible.

All the sword blades that came into contact with it shattered at that moment.

Columns of water surged up from the sea.

Bai Fu stepped forward, holding a long sword.

The flying swords spun in the air, slicing across the necks of the sect disciples.

Dozens of sect disciples had their heads sent flying high into the air by this single sword strike.

The body fell into the sea, attracting sea creatures below to fight over it.

In an instant, the area around the dock was dyed red.

Upon seeing this scene, some of the independent cultivators on the shore retreated.

His eyes showed terror.

I don't know who they are, daring to attack Mingshan Island.

Fear appeared in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming and the others had already landed.

Tens of thousands of people changed formations on the dock, and the next moment a giant black python appeared in the night sky.

Its enormous body is several thousand meters long.

Nine hideous heads.

Every glance he gave exuded ferocity.

Lu Ming stood on the snake's head in the middle, holding a knife.

The enormous snake head rose up, and it roared.

Bai Fu and Bai Xian'er led the way.

It sped off toward the market.

"boom!"

The giant python swung its body, and wherever it passed, it collided with the surrounding rubble and houses, making a loud bang.

In an instant, houses collapsed.

The friction between the scales and the ground sparked brilliant flames.

This scene was witnessed by everyone.

"Who dares to act so presumptuously on my Mingshan Island?" Just as they were about to approach the market.

A figure flew out.

His body hovered in mid-air, with thousands of sword beams swirling in a fan shape behind him.

It flashed with dazzling light.

This is the sect leader of Mingshan Sect, whose cultivation level is at the late stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

He possesses extremely powerful strength.

He is also one of only two late-stage Purple Mansion masters on Mingshan Island.

The python roared with its head raised, showing no fear, and charged toward the figure blocking its path.

The dazzling array of treasures in the market has made them eager to enter the market.

Anyone who stands in your way will be torn to pieces.

"How dare you!" The sword light behind the Lord of Mingshan Island was gathering.

The starry sky was obscured by countless glowing sword blades.

Finally, a sword hundreds of feet long materialized and slashed at the python.

Tearing through the void, unleashing endless destruction.

The entire Mingshan Island was lit up at this moment.

The giant python showed no fear as it watched the massive sword blade fall.

Nine heads kept popping out.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

It lunged at the giant sword with incredible speed.

With each strike, a notch appears on the longsword.

Before the longsword could fall, it had already broken into two pieces.

Then, the long tail sways.

It was as if a pillar of heaven had fallen.

Wherever it passed, rocks flew and hurricanes howled as it crashed fiercely toward the Mingshan Sect Master.

Under Lu Ming's control, the Devouring Heaven Willow Formation is now comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. How could it possibly be resisted by a mere Mingshan Island Master?

"boom!"

His body was struck by the python's tail, and his protective aura shattered instantly.

Then the body flies backward.

When it hit the ground, it left a huge crater.

"Hiss!" He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Looking at the ferocious giant python, he showed resentment in his eyes, but the next moment, he put a pill into his mouth.

It flew away into the distance.

Clearly, they no longer dared to linger in the fight, given the fierce battle just now.

The sect leader of Mingshan felt the power of the giant python, which was comparable to the Nascent Soul stage, and was far beyond his ability to defeat.

If we don't leave soon, I'm afraid I'll die here.

Upon returning to the sect, he ordered his disciples to temporarily evacuate.

Mingshan Island could not stop that giant python.

Lu Ming did not stop.

Overnight, he wielded the "Devouring Heaven Willow Formation" and swept through all the sects on Mingshan Island.

The sect leader of the Imperial Sword Sect was torn to pieces, and several elders were seriously injured. They fled in panic with their disciples.

The other sects are similar.

They all fled by sea after suffering heavy casualties.

Some independent cultivators, on the other hand, hide in various places.

Lu Ming did not exterminate these people.

After all, he doesn't want this market to disappear.

In the future, once I become stronger and enter a market, I will have a significant advantage.

After everything settled down.

The army then began searching the market.

Everything that could be taken away was cleared out.

There are countless magical artifacts, refining materials, and elixirs.

After this battle, Lu Ming will be the biggest winner.

Bai Fu watched all this with unprecedented excitement in his eyes.

He never imagined that one day he would be involved in the raiding of Mingshan Island.

Bai Xian'er's gaze was fixed on Lu Ming.

His eyes shone brightly.

The Imperial Sword Sect, which could have suffocated the Bai family, was utterly defeated by Lu Ming and couldn't even lift its head.

She found it incredible.

Time passed, and another day went by.

After all the markets and major sects on the island were looted, everything was ransacked.

Lu Ming led his army and sailed away in his ships.

It wasn't until several days after the army left that the sect masters on Mingshan Island led their disciples back.

Looking at the market and sects that had been completely looted, they were all on the verge of tears.

I never imagined that such a large market would be robbed.

After plundering Mingshan Island, Lu Ming did not return immediately. Instead, he circled the sea for a while and went straight to Yaowang Island.

The island wasn't large, and after the sect leader died, almost all the disciples were wiped out.

There were only a few young apprentices guarding the place.

Seeing the ships arrive, how could they dare to resist? Under Sun Juan's leadership, not only were all the medicinal herbs and spirit stones looted, but even the apprentices and disciples were abducted and taken aboard the ships.

At this point, the fleet slowly headed towards the direction of Daxia.

Along the way, all the ships were constantly disguised.

They did not return to land until a month later.

A large number of items were unloaded from the ship.

Lu Ming stood on the dock watching all of this.

A smile involuntarily crept onto his face.

Looking at Baifu, he said, "After you have inventoried all the items, give me a list."

"As ordered!"

Upon receiving the order, Baifu immediately bowed and said yes.

Lu Ming went straight to his own residence.

However, his act of plundering Mingshan Island...

Now it has shaken the entire Great Yu. Everyone knows that Mingshan Island is a place where major sects in the vicinity of the sea trade.

For so many years, no one has dared to act recklessly on it.

Now it has been directly stolen.

The sect leader of the Imperial Sword Sect was also killed.

How could this not cause a sensation?

Inside the palace, the Empress had just woken up when she received the news.

Last night, she dreamed of the general in black armor again, and they seemed to be getting more and more intimate.

This filled the Empress with shame and anger.

However, after receiving the news from the female official in blue.

Incredulity flickered in her beautiful eyes. "Are you saying Mingshan Island was plundered?"

When I first heard this news...

The Empress found it somewhat unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. Many noble families who went there to trade found the island in a state of disarray, and its defenses have been significantly strengthened."

The market appears to be rebuilding.

Do you know who did it?

The Empress's lips curled up in a smile.

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Her perfect figure was revealed through the barely-there gauze dress.

The beauty is beyond compare.

Although the palace was filled with women, many people still felt as if their breath had stopped.

The female official in green lowered her head and said cautiously, "We haven't found anything, but according to the rogue cultivators on the island, the people who attacked the island used an array, and judging from their description, they should be the same group that escorted the prime minister last time."

"Oh?" The Empress raised an eyebrow.

So, there must be a very powerful force lurking within the territory of Dayu.

They can sweep through Mingshan Island; that's no small feat.

At the very least, one must have the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly.

"It seems that things are getting more and more chaotic within the territory of my Great Yu."

"Your Majesty, as long as you accept the inheritance, all evil spirits and monsters will vanish," the female official in blue said cautiously.

Emperors of the Great Yu Dynasty could enter the Imperial Ancestral Temple to receive their inheritance after reaching adulthood.

They inherit the energy left behind by their ancestors when they fell, passing it down from generation to generation.

It is also one of the greatest cultural heritages of Dayu.

However, when the Empress came of age, the world was in chaos, with uprisings in various places, the energy of the Imperial Ancestral Temple was disordered, and the dragon veins were in constant turmoil, making it impossible for her to accept the inheritance.

Now, with the arrival of the sect's disciples.

With the central government under control and Grand Tutor Lin Hong returning to the capital to oversee affairs, the situation was stabilized.

The Imperial Ancestral Temple has finally returned to quiet.

Moreover, the imperial court need not worry her too much for the time being.

Therefore, the inheritance can finally be accepted.

As long as we succeed, even if rebellions break out all over the world and sects from all over the country try to erode our power, we will prevail.

They wouldn't be completely helpless.

"Tomorrow is the day of receiving the inheritance. I hope that nothing else goes wrong during this period." The Empress frowned, her eyes flashing with worry.

If the world continues to be in turmoil, her legacy will likely be affected.

If it cannot be completed by then, the impact on the entire Dayu will be profound and enormous.

"With the Grand Tutor in charge and the sect's experts protecting His Majesty, His Majesty has a deep affinity for immortality, so naturally he will be fine."

The female official said cautiously.

His eyelids were lowered, making him appear very cautious.

At the same time, Lu Ming returned to his residence.

He felt quite guilty towards Li Xirou after leaving home for more than a month right after returning.

However, as soon as I entered the door, I saw my wife smiling and greeting me.

"My husband is back."

Lu Ming nodded and said, "You're back. Have you been bored lately?"

“I miss my husband while he’s away,” Li Xirou said softly.

As she spoke, a blush involuntarily rose on her face.

It warmed Lu Ming's heart.

Just then, Li Xirou raised her head and said, "Mother has been sending people over every day recently to ask us to go home for dinner. Let's go home today."

Lu Ming nodded and said, "It's been a while since I've been back."

As they were talking, he pulled Li Xirou into the storeroom to pick out gifts.

Over the years, the Marquis's mansion has seized quite a lot of things.

A moment later, they loaded a cart with goods and, accompanied by guards, headed towards the Li family's residence.

Now, thanks to Lu Ming, the Li family's status has also risen.

The mansion has been expanded considerably.

Visitors kept coming to the door.

However, after Lu Ming arrived.

The guards then cleared the entrance.

Zhang Ming was already waiting; the carriage had just stopped.

He quickly stepped forward, his face beaming with smiles, and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, you've finally arrived! The old lady has been waiting impatiently and sent me to greet you as soon as she heard the news."

After Lu Ming and Li Xirou got off the carriage.

The former smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law."

"Hey, we're all family, isn't this the right thing to do? It's my honor to welcome you, Lord Marquis. So many people don't even get to see you," Zhang Ming said half-jokingly.

Then, they led the way.

He is now considered a very popular figure in the entire Hongdu City.

Even the governors would call him Young Master Zhang when they saw him.

Under Li Xun's care, he earned a lot of money.

Even the Zhang family benefited greatly.

He knew in his heart that all of this was because of Lu Ming.

Therefore, seeing Lu Ming now is more enthusiastic than seeing one's own father.

After entering the Li residence.

Lu Ming noticed that there were quite a few more guards, but they weren't very good; some hadn't even entered the country yet.

He glanced at Zhang Ming and said, "We've added quite a few guards to the house, but their cultivation levels aren't very high. You should go see Wang Han another day and ask him to give you a batch of veterans who have retired from the battlefield; they're more reliable."

After each major battle, many soldiers would receive compensation for their injuries and then leave the army.

However, despite the varying degrees of physical disability they suffered, they had nonetheless been through battle.

Moreover, even those with the lowest cultivation level can enter the realm.

They are not comparable to ordinary nursing homes.

"Okay!" Zhang Ming replied quickly.

Then, the group went to the backyard.

The Li family was already waiting at this moment.

Upon seeing Lu Ming, they all greeted him.

After everyone was seated, various delicacies were served.

The Li family clearly put a lot of effort into their products, using many ingredients that are rarely seen elsewhere.

Knowing that Lu Ming liked to drink, Li Xun, who returned early in the morning, sat down beside him to keep him company.

However, just as it was time to eat...

The steward of the Li family rushed in.

"Young Master, Senior Bai Fu requests an audience."

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow, realizing that the list of items to be looted from Mingshan Island must have been compiled.

He immediately said, "Let him in."

He was also very much looking forward to the items that would be stolen.

The butler responded and then carefully withdrew.

At this moment, the Li family members were all somewhat nervous.

After all, the Bai family had heard about it long ago.

Even Li Ren could be said to have grown up listening to the legends about the other party.

Although he knew that the Bai family was now under Lu Ming's control.

But now he suddenly wants to see Bai Fu, the patriarch of a first-class family.

She was still somewhat reserved.
