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

Chapter 240 Return to Golden Light Island, A Crisis?

The Fighting Saint Emperor truly deserves to be among the first batch of rising masters.

His body shone with golden light.

He was holding a stick and waving it around.

The movements were extremely large, yet incredibly fast.

Each time they landed, a large number of heavenly soldiers were swept away.

Blood mist filled the sky as the battle raged.

"Such formidable strength!" Yun Jin exclaimed.

Lu Ming nodded, "Indeed, not weak!"

"Go back, I've prepared fine wine and delicious food." City Lord Shiyu invited Lu Ming into the city with a smile, and he didn't hesitate and immediately followed.

When we entered the city, we saw that it was much more exquisite than when we had been there before, with a lot of flowers.

They were placed on both sides of the street.

As you walk through it, you are surrounded by a faint fragrance of flowers.

Even the walls on both sides were stained with color.

“In the past, I was living hand to mouth and had no time to take care of things. Now, with the protection of the Emperor Yu, I am much safer here, so I ordered people to renovate it.”

"It's pretty good, much better than before," Lu Ming said with a smile.

He noticed that the people here were much more energetic than before.

Moreover, many of the systems in Shiyu City are similar to those in Dayu.

Clearly, the City Lord of Shiyu is imitating the development of the Great Yu Dynasty, which is good.

If there is hope in the future, we can merge, which would save a lot of trouble.

As they spoke, the two entered the city lord's mansion.
Upon entering the backyard, one sees various delicacies already displayed in a pavilion.

An enticing aroma then filled the air.

"These are all local specialties of the city, Your Majesty, please have a taste," said City Lord Shiyu with a smile.

Lu Ming nodded and sat down, then looked at City Lord Shi Yu and said, "I wonder if there's anything you need for me, City Lord?"

He said this after taking a sip of wine.

After pondering for a moment, Lord Shiyu City said without further ado, “It is like this. I have received news that many forces seem to be preparing to target Emperor Yu, especially the Jing Palace of the Taiqing Sect, which now occupies about ten prefectures.”

He commanded millions of celestial soldiers at the Heavenly Immortal level, and his own cultivation had also broken through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

They once threatened to target you.

Leaving aside these top geniuses, even within Xingzhou, Huang Sheng and his group have received authorization and support from their sects to launch an attack against you. They just haven't made preparations yet, so you need to be very careful.

Lu Ming nodded, and after a moment said, "Thank you for letting me know. I will be careful."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at City Lord Shiyu and said, "There's something I don't understand. You always seem to get the news in advance, and you seem to know these people very well."

As he spoke, a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

"I naturally have my own connections, but I really can't say. Just let Emperor Yu come here and have a good meal and drink." As she spoke, she poured Lu Ming a glass of wine.

The fragrant breeze stirred something within him.

It must be said, the City Lord of Stone Rain is truly beautiful.

Meeting Lu Ming's gaze, Yun Jin couldn't help but blush.

The poise and confidence she had shown earlier were gone.

Instead, he raised his wine glass and said softly, "Emperor Yu, drink!"

Lu Ming raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp.

At this moment, both of them sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat strange.

Therefore, it felt a little dull.

After a moment, Yun Jin continued, "Your Majesty, what are your thoughts on the Heavenly Court?"

"It's a very large force, but it doesn't have top-tier combat power. It's better than the human race, but it's just a tool in the hands of a saint," Lu Ming said calmly.

In this world, unless one can become a saint, one will always be fish on the chopping block.

Yun Jin didn't expect Lu Ming to be so bold as to say such a thing, but she had to admit that what he said made sense.

"What are Your Majesty's aspirations?"

"To become a saint! To allow the human race to rebuild the order of the Nine Provinces," Lu Ming said calmly.

This was indeed his plan, and something he had always wanted to accomplish.

By gathering the destiny of the human race, it is enough to contend with anyone.

As the sound faded.

Yun Jin raised her wine cup and said, "I hope Your Majesty's dream can come true."

Lu Ming nodded and clinked glasses with her.

Then, the two talked for a long time, from some ancient secrets to the current distribution of power. Generally, it was City Lord Shiyu who talked and Lu Ming who listened.

This made the latter very curious.

I don't know why Lord Shiyu knows so much.

In the blink of an eye, several days later, Lu Ming bid farewell to City Lord Shi Yu and left.

When we returned to Dayu.

As soon as they entered the palace, they saw Li Xirou and Mu Yun wiping away tears while packing their things.

Clearly, this was due to the departure of his son and daughter.

They were very reluctant to leave, but they also knew that this opportunity was rare.

As soon as Lu Ming entered, Li Xirou came over and asked, "Husband, everything is packed. When are we going to Golden Light Island?"

"Let's set off tomorrow. Our opponents are getting more and more outrageous. They might send troops to target us at any time. It will be safer to send the children there sooner, and their cultivation has already reached the Divine Power Realm."

If we don't get guidance from the teacher soon, it might cause a delay.

Li Xirou nodded at Lu Ming's words.

Fu Guang and Wang Shu stood aside, their eyes filled with reluctance.

The latter was sobbing softly.

Lu Ming patted Wang Shu's head and said, "It's alright, it's just a cultivation trip. How about your mother can go and spend some time with you every year?"

Anyway, there's no one else on the island.

It's not a big deal for Li Xirou and Yu Muyun to stay there for a while every year.

"really?"

Fu Guang exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Ming smiled and said, "Of course it is."

At this moment, the two children became excited.

Xi Rou and Mu Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.

They thought it would be a long time, and it would be nice to be able to visit every year.

Then, the family had a meal together.

The next day, Lu Ming prepared to set off with his wife and children.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Zhang Meng was already waiting.

Now, having received the inheritance, his cultivation has reached the Golden Immortal realm.

His demeanor is much more fierce than before.

Especially his legs, which were as if cast in steel, made a clanging sound as he walked, with the armor clashing together.

With each step taken, a powerful aura spreads out.

Besides him, there were a thousand personal guards and the Blood Sea Sect Master.

Currently, there are many people targeting Da Yu, so if it were just Lu Ming alone, he naturally wouldn't have brought so many people.

But he still had his wife and children with him.

Of course, we have to be careful.

"Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Upon seeing Lu Ming, Zhang Meng quickly said.

"Then let's go."

Following the issuance of the order.

The carriage that Lu Ming was sitting in had begun to slowly rise into the air.

The large army behind them followed closely.

Heading towards Golden Light Island.

He naturally remembered the roaring sea beasts in the sea when he last went to Golden Light Island. If Qingxiao hadn't been there with him back then...

I'm afraid I'll be swallowed up completely.

Now, although I have reached the Golden Immortal realm and have the ability to protect myself.

However, we still dared not be careless. Fortunately, nothing happened along the way.

On the contrary, it was very peaceful.

After traveling at various stops for half a month, we arrived at Golden Light Island.

We just docked.

Qingxiao was already waiting.

At this moment, he said with a smile, "Junior brother has finally arrived. Golden Light Island hasn't been this lively in many years. Master was just talking about the two children a while ago."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Fu Guang and Wang Shu.

Lu Ming immediately greeted his two wives, "Greetings, Senior Sister!"

Then, he said to Fu Guang and Wang Shu, "Why don't you pay your respects to your master?"

The two children weren't shy at all; they knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Greetings, Auntie."

The sound is crisp and clear, and very cute.

A hint of tenderness flashed in Qingxiao's eyes.

She immediately said, "Get up quickly. It's our first meeting, and your aunt doesn't have anything special. Here are two little trinkets for you to play with."

After saying that, he took out two magical artifacts.

One of the items was a short sword, a gift from Wang Shu.

Another long spear was given to Fu Guang.

The quality is good; they are all top-grade immortal artifacts.

That's quite a large sum of money.

Lu Ming's lips twitched involuntarily; he hadn't received such good treatment when he first came here.

Then, turning to Zhang Mu and the Blood Sea Sect Master, he said, "You shall set up camp here and not harm the spirit beasts on the island."

"Yes, sir!" the two replied hastily upon receiving the order.

When they arrived at Golden Light Island, their faces were filled with awe.

Even without Lu Ming's instructions, they wouldn't dare to act recklessly, after all, this was a sage's sacred site.

Then, led by Qingxiao, Lu Ming and the others headed towards the island.

When we arrived outside the main hall.

"Boom!"

The gate opened at that moment.

Then, a dignified voice rang out, "Come in, all of you."

It came from the mouth of the Shangqing Sect Master.

Lu Ming didn't hesitate and immediately walked inside.

When I first stepped into the main hall.

Then I saw the Supreme Saint of Shangqing in the head seat.

A long black robe, his long black hair floating freely.

He had already concealed his aura, looking just like an ordinary person, but Lu Ming knew...

His master was absolutely terrifying when he got angry.

After all, he single-handedly held off several saints back then, although he ultimately lost.

But in the Immortal Realm, who dares to say that the Shangqing Sage is weak?

"I've met the master!"

Lu Ming and his family bowed respectfully.

The Sage of Shangqing waved his hand and said, "Not bad, you have also entered the Golden Immortal realm. Your cultivation speed is not slow, enough to be comparable to your senior brothers back then."

After saying that, he took out a jade talisman, which appeared in Lu Ming's hand the next moment.

"This is my Shangqing Sect's personal disciple jade token. From now on, you are officially my disciple."

Then, two more jade talismans fell into the palms of Fu Guang and Wang Shu respectively.

"From now on, these two children will stay with me and become the third generation of disciples of my Shangqing Palace."

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow.

These two kids are definitely treated better than I am.

When he first joined the sect, he was just a nominal disciple. But when the two children arrived, they became real disciples.

However, since they are his own children, he wasn't particularly jealous.

Then, the Palace Master of Shangqing Palace continued, "You two can take your time to explore Golden Light Island these next few days. After you leave, I will teach these two children. Their foundation is quite solid, it seems you have put in a lot of effort."

He was very pleased with the two children.

When the Shangqing Palace Master discovered that Fu Guang and Wang Shu had both reached the Divine Power Realm, his heart sank.

They were worried that Lu Ming wouldn't be able to get suitable Dharma bloodlines for the two children.

But I just observed.

Fu Guang and Wang Shu both possess the highest-grade Dharma lineages; even he couldn't obtain anything better.

The preparations made at the time were slightly inferior.

While feeling surprised, he was also extremely satisfied.

Lu Ming immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"

Then, at the signal of the Palace Master of Shangqing Palace, he withdrew with his family.

Qingxiao then led them to the outside of a large hall next door, which had several golden characters written on it: "Fuguang Hall".

"Master specially prepared Fuguang Hall and Wangshu Hall for Fuguang and Wangshu. You can stay in Fuguang Hall tonight. Your place is a bit far away. This place is closer to Master," Qingxiao said with a smile.

Lu Ming was very satisfied.

Fuguang Hall and Wangshu Hall are right next to the Master's main hall.

Ordinary people don't receive this kind of treatment.

Upon entering, one can see that there are quite a few maids in the hall.

After all, Fuguang and Wangshu are children, and they can't be left unattended.

Seeing how well the arrangements were made.

Yu Muyun and Li Xirou both breathed a sigh of relief.

Over the next few days, they spent time with the child and explored the entire Cotai Strip.

There is no deliberate decoration here.

However, every blade of grass and every tree possesses an extremely strong spirituality.

Finally, after they had stayed for half a month...

Lu Ming received a message from Zhang Meng.

The other party dared not venture deep into Golden Light Island and could only send messages using communication jade talismans.

The content concerns the escalation of border tensions.

The forces within Xingzhou seem to be planning to take action against Dayu.

Left with no other choice, Lu Ming bid farewell to his two children and master, and led his men toward the Great Yu.

After they left.

In the main hall of Shangqing Palace, the Palace Master looked at Qingxiao and said calmly, "Things are probably not that simple. With the current strength of Dayu, those forces in Xingzhou still dare to make a move. How fearless they are."

My senior brothers probably helped me a lot behind the scenes.

"If my Shangqing Sect wants to rise to power, it is destined to be targeted by everyone."

"Master, I'm going to help my junior brother," Qingxiao said with some worry.

After all, even with tens of thousands of disciples of the Shangqing Sect back then, they couldn't stop the schemes of the great sages. Now, with only Lu Ming left, the situation is truly worrying.

"If you make a move, they'll have even more excuses. We can't compare to other sects when it comes to experts at the Great Luo Realm."

You still need to protect your junior brother's life in crucial moments, so don't act rashly!

Clearly, the Shangqing Sect Master was not optimistic about this battle.

Because he knew that this was a sage plotting behind the scenes.

Moreover, neither of his two senior brothers fought a battle unprepared.

Since Huang Sheng and his group are to be involved this time, they have made thorough preparations and are determined to eliminate Lu Ming.

Many of his disciples were plotted against under such circumstances back then.

This time, Lu Ming's chances of survival are slim.

After a moment, he glanced at the two children playing outside the hall and said calmly, "No matter what, at this critical moment, protect Lu Ming's family and bring them back to Golden Light Island."

"Yes, ma'am!" Qingxiao replied hastily.

Then he withdrew.
