Chapter 285 - Where Is My Wife?
Chapter 285: Where Is My Wife?
His name was Li Ergou.
He was a Scout.
His master said that he was too reckless and he loved freedom. Therefore he gave him the name of Li Ergou, hoping that he would drift along in life and he could live a longer life.
But he did not really believe it.
His master was called Zhang Yongsheng [1.Yongsheng in Chinese means to live forever], but he died at fifty eight years old.
He was very heartbroken and had cried his guts out. His master called him to his bedside and said that he had enjoyed a happy old age and was able to die in Widow Village…
Although Li Ergou had no idea why fifty years old was considered old.
He had no idea why he considered being able to stay in Widow Village for a few years enjoyable.
…
His master was a mystery.
Seriously…
There was a rule for Scouts: One could not make a deduction for oneself.
However…
When his master was fifty eight years old, he suddenly said that he would not live past fifty eight years old. Therefore, he wanted to know how many days he had left…
Afterward, it backfired on him as he made deductions for himself and he was left with one month to live.
His master was very happy.
He felt that he was finally accurate!
But he felt that if his master did not make that deduction on himself, he would have been able to live for a few more years.
…
His master could not make it anymore.
His master said that he would help him one last time!
And he agreed to it.
He asked his master to deduce when he would get a wife…
His master pondered for a long time.
The second day.
His master told him that one could not ask for a wife. It was one’s destiny. His master suggested that he should deduce when he would have the rare opportunity to become a seven-star big shot!
He was furious.
He thought that master was humiliating his looks. Therefore, he left home.
…
Afterward.
When he returned, his master had passed away.
Sister Da Deng from the Widow Village passed his master’s last words to him. He felt guilt-stricken and hence he followed his last words to search for a rare opportunity.
It was a pity.
His master had made a mistake in his deduction again.
He did not notice any rare opportunity. When he reached the door to the ancient tomb, he could not even open the door. If not for Lu Ming, he could not even get in…
…
Master also left a ball of paper.
Sister Da deng said that his master had instructed that he could only open it when he felt that the rare opportunity was here.
He didn’t believe it.
He opened it in advance, and it said, “Haha, your master is very accurate. Rest assured, this is your rare opportunity. Go ahead. Go and fight for your future…”
He pondered for a long time.
His master told him to open it when he found his rare opportunity. But what was written inside…
Damn! It was not accurate at all!
The old man was indeed very evil.
…
However…
He had to complete his master’s last wishes.
Although his master was wrong on many occasions, he would get it right once.
What he had been waiting for was this one time.
This was what he owed him.
…
Lu Ming was an interesting person.
He had seen him before, but he had never spoken to him.
Seriously…
Lu Ming was a dazzling star in Qing Ming City. Everyone knew him. He knew him as well. He also knew that he had a good personality.
He would not kill the innocent.
Therefore…
He was more at ease with him.
Moreover, the main thing was that Lu Ming was really handsome…
This was the first time he saw someone who was more handsome than he was. His eyes, his nose… Lu Ming had perfect features and an outstanding temperament. Lu Ming seemed to resemble what he looked like in his dreams…
…
There was an evil array in the ancient tomb.
That was a Restart Array. He read it in the books. It was scary!
Therefore, he was getting ready to leave. However to his surprise, Lu Ming decided to stay behind. He wanted to fight for the people of Qing Ming City!
He could not understand.
Seriously…
He was just an ordinary man…
Although he had reached five-star, that was because he was a cultivator…
As for the enemy…
He was a six-star!
He was a scary enemy that had been through countless life and death battles.
He was scared.
But Lu Ming…
Although he was powerful, he only had five-star combat abilities!
He was certain that Lu Ming would die even without touching a strand of the enemy’s hair. However, even so, Lu Ming was able to tell him calmly that he wanted to stay!
He wanted to fight!
He found it ridiculous. But for an unknown reason, he did not leave. Perhaps he was touched by Lu Ming’s words, or he was worried that his enemy would notice him…
Afterward…
He witnessed how Lu Ming fought for the lives of the people in Qing Ming City!
The battle was astounding.
There was no massacre as he had imagined. There were a few times where Lu Ming almost killed his enemy. He was only a four-star but he never backed down from his fight against the enemy!
At that moment:
He found out that a Sword Card Master was very powerful.
That moment:
There was a glow around Lu Ming.
That moment:
He finally understood.
He wanted to become someone like him.
…
They fought hard.
There were many shockwaves, and the battle got closer and closer to the place where he was hiding. He also suffered some injuries, but he did not move. He watched Lu Ming quietly from a distance.
He found it very strange.
It was obvious that Lu Ming could not take it anymore, but he kept on fighting.
Why?
This was because of faith.
Lu Ming told him that one needed to have faith. One must fight for one’s wife!
Therefore…
Seeing that Lu Ming was so determined, could it be due to his wife?
Oh.
He remembered that there was a young lady in Lu Ming’s shop…
Ah.
Could she be Lu Ming’s wife?
Lu Ming had the faith of love and happiness.
If he had a wife, would he be as determined?
He had no idea.
Suddenly, he could somehow understand his master’s words.
It turned out that…
This was his rare opportunity!
The so-called treasures were minor details. One had to be powerful and that was a truly rare opportunity!
And now…
His master had sent Lu Ming right to him!
…
The shockwaves were painful.
All kinds of energy hit against him.
He was injured.
He could only use his energy to hide the blood…
Their battle was at the six-star level. It was far beyond his imagination. But he could not move, as he would be discovered…
The battle continued.
Lu Ming won.
However, the guy burned his life and Lu Ming could not win against him.
Therefore…
Lu Ming was ready to burn his life as well.
He did not move an inch because he knew that this was not his fight!
However…
For some unknown reason…
Zou Shenglong suddenly walked to stand in front of him…
He seemed like an old man, looking very weak. He burned his life while he focused all his attention on Lu Ming…
The enemy did not discover him.
He was a Scout. He had acute senses. He knew that the enemy was not paying attention to him. He had simply walked to stand in front of him.
He was scared…
Suddenly…
He had an idea.
Look, the enemy had his faith, Lu Ming had his faith. Everyone had their goal and visions. Why was it that he did not have any dreams?!
If… and only if Lu Ming was his faith, was he willing to go all out to risk his life?
Well…
He would give it a try.
Hence…
He took the stick that his master gave him. He pulled out the sword from inside the package, gathered all his energy and stabbed Zou Shenglong…
The enemy died.
He seemed to have won.
There was only one problem left.
“Lu Ming.
“I have gone all out for the sake of having a wife!
“Can you tell me where I can find my wife?!”
…
Lu Ming seemed like he wanted to answer him.
It was a pity.
He did not hear it.
He fainted as he had exerted too much force…
…
“Are all Scouts that weak?”
Li Ergou sighed, looking at Li Ergou who had fainted in front of him.
Brother, you stabbed the enemy. You weren’t being stabbed… Why did you drop to the ground? How is Zou Shenglong, who you stabbed, supposed to react?
As for the wife…
Lu Ming felt very helpless.
He wanted to get a wife as well. He had no time to help him!
He said that he wanted to go all out for his wife… Just now, he was going all out for him. Did that mean that he had to be dressed in female clothing and pretend to be his wife?
It was ridiculous!
However…
They had indeed won!
Lu Ming sighed.
He looked at Zou Shenglong, who had died. He widened his eyes in shock. He seemed to be very skeptical of this world…
After all, moments like this were rare. Li Ergou was a very timid person.
“Life has been tough with you.”
Lu Ming sighed.
To be honest…
A while ago, he was ready to go all out.
He knew that Li Ergou was there. He never expected that Li Ergou would launch an attack. After all, Zou Shenglong had walked past him several times and he never made a move!
Therefore…
He had ignored Li Ergou totally.
However…
Unexpectedly, at the most critical moment, just when he was about to burn his life, Li Ergou made his move.
He had killed decisively!
He pierced Zou Shenglong’s heart with one sword!
This child… had a bright future!
Lu Ming was filled with emotions.
He checked his own situation. He had begun to burn his life just now. He felt heartache at the loss. It had ended as soon as it started. Although it was not activated, he had burned a small part of it.
“One second less.”
Lu Ming’s heart ached at the loss.
Henceforth…
He had one second less than the others!
“Later, I must think of a way to make up for it.”
Lu Ming sighed.
Afterward…
He looked at the dead Zou Shenglong and at the tomb.
“Xiao-Xiaojian…”
“Yes.”
“I remember that this guy said that there is a sinister aura in the array, is that so?”
“Yes.”
“Get rid of it!” Lu Ming said in a low voice.
Heaven knew what would happen if the sinister aura was left there.
“Okay.”
Xiao-Xiaojian had pent-up frustration in its heart!
The sinister aura stored in the Restart Array was very good for tempering. It felt frustrated when it fought Zou Shenglong previously. If it was in its heyday…
Tempering!
Tempering!
Xiao-Xiaojian perked up.
It made holes in the burial mound and absorbed all the sinister auras.
Click!
Click!
Huge cracks began to spread in the ground.
The sinister aura was gone. The burial mound was collapsing.
“Let’s go!”
Li Ergou left with Lu Ming.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
There were loud booming sounds.
The group of ancient tombs completely collapsed.
Restart Array?
From then on, it was a dead array…
…
At this very moment…
Many people were waiting in Qing Ming City.
The cultivators who had come for all kinds of reasons seemed like players who stayed through the night for the release of a new game. All of them shivered in the cold but none wanted to leave.
Some people secured the places at a high price and began to contact the men in black.
“Where was the promised one-of-a-kind chance encounter?”
“Don’t tell me this is fake?!”
“I heard that some time ago there was a Phantom Legacy in Qing Ming City… I feel that it is unlikely that there will be two legacies in the same place. Perhaps the legacy or legacy site has been taken away? This is why the so-called legacy site is empty?”
“That is possible!”
Some people had been listening to gossip.
The men in black were confused when they received the news.
What nonsense was that?
To hell with the Phantom. It had nothing to do with them!
Theirs was a thousand-year-old legacy. A Phantom could not be compared to them! It was a pity that the young people who were here to participate in the legacy could not understand.
They only wanted to know why the array could not be activated!
Suddenly…
Buzz—
The wristbands of the men in black vibrated.
They looked at it and were shocked. Zou Shenglong was dead.
“How can that be possible…”
The men in black were frightened.
Given Zou Shenglong’s might, how could he have died?
Could it be that…
Big shots had arrived?
No!
Impossible!
They put in a lot of efforts for this operation. They sold many of the places to ensure that none of the big shots would intervene!
And…
They would help in stopping other seven-star and above cultivators!
Therefore…
Until now, none of the seven-star and above cultivators had entered Qing Ming City!
However…
Zou Shenglong was dead.
He died in the group of ancient tombs that was supposed to be empty.
There was trouble!
…
“Sir.”
The men in black were alarmed.
Now that Zou Shenglong was dead, the Array Master Cheng Hao was in charge. He told some Scouts to re-deduce the scenes and saw that there was a terrible mess in the ancient tombs.
The group of ancient tombs…
It was gone!
There was only endless barren land amid the ruins…
Other than Zou Shenglong, the structure of the group of ancient tombs was totally destroyed…
There was nothing!
There was nothing left!
Some men in black felt hopeless.
In that case…
What was the point oftheir years of struggle?
Cheng Hao was silent.
Suddenly…
He got up and said coldly, “Implement the final plan.”
He clearly remembered that before Zou Shenglong left, he said that if he could not come back, they had to activate the final plan and enter the final stage!
“Yes.”
The men in black quivered.
After all…
It had finally reached this stage!
Shush!
The men in black left.
Thousands of men suddenly disappeared.
…
At this very moment…
The cultivators who were waiting in the cold wind were dumbstruck.
They felt that they were duped!
Seriously…
Some of them came all the way there to wait in the biting cold. They paid a huge price for a so-called rare opportunity. In the end, there was nothing!?
“I have been to seven legacy sites and I never heard of one that could not be activated!”
“Liars!”
“They must be liars!”
“I heard that there is a group of liars who tricked the elderly into buying health products, investing in legacies, and purchasing places for the legacy sites. Is that what your group is doing?!”
“I heard about it too.”
The young people were vigilant.
Could it be that the elders back home were swindled as a result?!
Those bastards… How dare they make use of the expectation that the elders have of the children to fabricate a ‘unrivaled legacy’ and trick them!
The so-called ‘Restart array’ might be a fraud!
That was possible!
Hence…
The young people hurried to contact their elders.
The elders were confused. They were not so stupid. However, what happened now was indeed strange and mysterious. Therefore, they checked around and were shocked.
Those men in black were…
“Wait.”
This was what they told the juniors—wait!
They should stay in Qing Ming City and wait…
They had to wait for the opportunity to activate!
…
After a long time…
In the group of ancient tombs.
The men in black returned to the group of ancient tombs through the secret passageway. They broke through the ruins and reached the location of the thirty sixth tomb, hoping to take a look…
Greeting their eyes was…
A vast expanse of wasteland.
There was no burial mound left!
Right now, in the ruins, there was only wasteland and…
Blood.
Zou Shenglong’s corpse had been covered by the ruins.
A few men in black took his body away, changed him into clean clothes and put him into the tomb. However they could not close his widened eyes…
“Brother, rest in peace.”
Cheng Hao slowly closed his eyes. “Very soon, we will join you…”
Afterward…
He looked toward the tombs.
Pfft!
He slashed his body with his knife.
Blood ppewed out.
Pfft!
Pfft!
Many men in black slashed themselves.
Blood spurted!
“Seniors…
“I am sorry.
“There were some hiccups and we could only activate it physically.
“Heh.
“Hopefully…
“It’s not too late.
“Direct them!”
Cheng Hao raised his hand.
Blood flowed like a river and flowed around the ancient tomb. The rich blood river invaded every grave.
Red lights flashed.
The color of blood appeared.
There was an indescribable beauty about it.
…
