189 The Fire Lotus Valley Sends Their Greetings

Jiang Ming’s eyes stayed on the blue shield for a moment. He reached out to pick up the storage ring on the ground and turned around, ready to leave.

Maybe this person was related to the Fire Lotus Valley. However, Jiang Ming was too lazy to care.

“What?”

However, as soon as Jiang Ming turned around, his instincts told him to jump sideways immediately.

!!

A golden arrow was shot from a distance like lightning, and it suddenly hit the spot where Jiang Ming was standing just a millisecond ago.

The arrow was infused with spiritual energy, and the force of its blow made Jiang Ming stagger back more than ten meters.

One after another, arrows rained down and aimed at Jiang Ming’s vital parts.

“There’s no end to it!”

Jiang Ming’s eyes darkened. As he dodged again, he saw a figure in the distance.

It was a tall woman in a white dress. She stood atop a tree like a fairy. However, her attacks were extremely ruthless. The bow in her hand was as black as ink, and she kept shooting out arrows.

The woman did not say a word during the whole process. She wanted to kill Jiang Ming.

“A female cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Realm… She’s not too strong, but the power of that bow is terrifying!”

Jiang Ming could see the nature of the problem at a glance. This bow was definitely a high-quality middle-grade magical weapon. It was the most powerful magical weapon that a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator could control. The power it exerted was almost equivalent to an attack from a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm.

“Although this spiritual energy bow is powerful, it’s possible to kill her when I find an opening. However, with such a powerful middle-grade magic weapon, she must have an extraordinary background. I’m just afraid that she has other tricks up her sleeve,” Jiang Ming thought to himself and quickly made a decision.

He could not engage in a battle. Thus, only a one-hit kill was the perfect solution.

There was one move that he had not used for a long time.

The arrows became more and more concentrated. Jiang Ming seemed to be unable to dodge in time and was directly pierced by a golden arrow. He was thrown dozens of meters away from the impact and only stopped when he smashed into a huge stone. He rolled a few times and lay on the ground motionless. A bloody hole appeared in his chest, and blood was gushing out.

On the treetop in the distance, the woman saw the situation, and her red lips curved up in a smile. However, she still calmly shot out a talisman. It turned into a spiritual bird, hovered above Jiang Ming’s body for a moment, and then dissipated without any issues.

“You may be powerful. However, you still can’t escape my bow!” It was not until this moment that the woman in the white dress was relieved. She put away the bow and got on a good-quality flying sword. She slowly landed not far from Jiang Ming and walked toward him.

“Master is right. These days, these bitter people in Xiaoqian Mountain have indeed started to flee. I’ve killed quite a few. However, he’s the only one so far who looks interesting! It’s all thanks to the cannon fodder I sent to cast a wide net. Otherwise, I would have missed this guy. I’ve finally gotten some results,” the woman muttered to herself. She was obviously very satisfied with the results of her hunt. It seemed that she only enjoyed the process of hunting and treated it as a part of training. She did not care about anything else.

However, she would not mind if she found some unexpected treasures as well. The woman in the white dress smiled and prepared to search for the storage ring of her victim.

However, just as she walked to the “corpse” and was about to bend down to search for the storage ring, the corpse suddenly moved.

The Spirit Restriction Seal was truly a powerful technique!

Blood Qi as exuberant as the ocean surged up. It was more powerful than a Grandmaster’s blood Qi! The woman in the white dress was momentarily dazed. It was as if she had just come face to face with a ferocious demonic beast!

“This is not good!”

The soul of an immortal cultivator was far stronger than that of a martial artist. The woman in the white dress was only dazed for a short moment before she regained her senses. Her expression changed drastically as she prepared to activate her protective magical tool.

However, this short moment of hesitation was enough for a martial artist who was stronger than a Grandmaster.

Jiang Ming had already gotten into position. He gathered all his blood Qi in one fist and smashed it fiercely at the face of the woman in the white dress.

More than ten layers of spiritual light from talismans shot out. They covered the woman in the white dress in an instant. However, they were torn apart layer by layer like paper and could not withstand the force of the punch.

The last layer of spiritual light exploded, and the blood Qi on Jiang Ming’s fist also erupted.

Blood Wave Saber Technique directly hit the woman’s delicate face.

All of this happened in a split second. The woman in the white dress would never have thought that the valuable protective talismans she had on her would be useless at this moment.

Before the horror on her face could be revealed, she was smashed into pieces.

The headless body fell to the ground. Jiang Ming expressionlessly searched for her storage ring and took everything that could be valuable. Then, he skillfully shot out a fireball and burnt the body.

“I can’t leave my blood behind either.”

Jiang Ming then used another fireball to burn the crime scene, and then he was relieved.

He had been in the world of immortal cultivation for so many years. Thus, he had some understanding of the abilities of immortal cultivators. Although there were various tracking methods, ordinary cultivators could not use them. Anyway, without blood and other traces of evidence, it was impossible to track the criminal. Even a Golden Core Realm cultivator would not be able to find him based on what little evidence was left here.

However, Jiang Ming did not dare stay here for too long. He used the inextinguishable origin light to heal the bloody hole in his chest. Then, he took out the Spirit Sword Shuttle that he had just bought and injected his spiritual energy into it. It turned into a green light and flew away.

* * *

Half a month later, three hundred miles to the east of Xiaoqian Mountain, in a huge and prosperous city, Jiang Ming was leisurely lying on a bamboo chair. He had found a small, secluded courtyard to live in and was drinking tea while reading some of the books he bought at Xiaoqian Mountain. They recorded many anecdotes of the world of immortal cultivation.

This was a big city dominated by mortals. However, there were also immortal cultivators living here. Jiang Ming rented a small courtyard and used some spirit stones and materials to arrange a simple protective spiritual array. He then temporarily settled down here.

There were many other individual immortal cultivators like him. Thus, he did not stick out.

“Fortunately, I escaped in time.”

Jiang Ming could not help but shake his head when he recalled the fight that day.

Looking at the many treasures in her storage ring, the woman in the white dress was likely a disciple of the Fire Lotus Valley. Combined with what she had said, it was obvious that she had taken the incident at Xiaoqian Mountain as a training exercise.

According to the news, it seemed that the main force that wanted to make a move on Xiaoqian Mountain was the Fire Lotus Valley.

Many disciples of the Fire Lotus Valley took the opportunity to go down the mountain to gain experience. Jiang Ming and the other cultivators who had escaped from Xiaoqian Mountain became the training targets for these disciples.

“Alright.”

Jiang Ming smiled.

All the dangerous incidents from the Cloudy Dream Mountain Forest to Xiaoqian Mountain were related to the Fire Lotus Valley.

He would remember this.

However, it was clear that the woman in the white dress was not a low-leveled disciple of the Fire Lotus Valley disciples.
