Lu Ming recalled the records of this ancient script in various ancient books, and could only vaguely identify some of the words written on it, which were about the uses and functions of the purple furnace. Unfortunately, he could not recognize all the materials recorded afterwards, and searched his brain’s memory, but in the end he found nothing.

Lu Ming made up his mind that after he left the Water Swamp Secret Realm, he would go to Kunlai’s book collection to look up these ancient words so that he could find the materials needed to make the Purple Furnace as soon as possible to find the whereabouts of Fu Shu.

Lu Ming withdrew his aura and the lines of golden words disappeared immediately. Lu Ming put the penannular jade into the ring space and sighed, “This thing is really mysterious and incomparable, the method of making the purple furnace is actually hidden in the penannular jade, you only need to inject aura to see it.”

233 said, “Master just needs to find out what these ancient words mean, and then we can start making them.”

Lu Ming nodded, and without further delay, he came out of the space and prepared to kill a few more giant beasts. He didn’t know how the others were doing now, so he could only try to kill as many as he could.

After Lu Ming exited from the space, he walked towards the southeast. He secretly injected his aura into the tiny magic Artifacts, detected Jing Mo’s location, then collected his aura again, threw the magic Artifacts into the space to hide them, and left in the opposite direction.

Five days passed, in addition to looking for various precious materials, Lu Ming was constantly killing giant beasts every day to get the core. To say the least, it was also a bit boring, as if since coming to this world as He Qingci, he was not this bored for a long time.

He would often think of Jing Mo, and every time he thought about it, his guilt became stronger and stronger. He didn’t know what to do if Jing Mo didn’t want to talk to him anymore, or if he didn’t have any brotherly love for him, or if he looked at him with a look of contempt in his eyes.

Lu Ming’s thoughts about seeing Jing Mo again added to his irritation. He took a deep breath and was about to walk forward when his attention was suddenly drawn by the sound of talking. He stopped in his tracks and was about to turn around to leave, but was unprepared to be shocked beyond words by the conversation.

“Uncle, this Sect Leader position should have been yours, how could that Yun Ruan have the virtue to take this place!” An angry voice suddenly came out.

Another person heard this and immediately gave a cold snort and said, “It’s just that Master is biased and said that Yun Ruan is more suitable to inherit the Sect Leader’s position. If it were not for this, Yun Ruan and I would be equal in both qualification and talent, not to mention that I entered the Kunlai sect earlier than he did, otherwise why would I have been under him for so many years and have to bow down every day when I see him?”

The man immediately interjected, “Therefore, Uncle Yun Che must not delay any longer. When Yun Ruan was in seclusion a few days ago, his body suffered a lot of damage due to the reverse flow of spiritual energy, so it’s the best time to take back the Sect Leader position.”

Yun Che said with some hesitation, “You must not forget that there is still Master Fu Chen. That person’s power is unfathomable. He is just a human world Buddhist cultivator, how can he have the opportunity to step into Cultivation World to learn the cultivator’s method. I think the strength should be amazing, otherwise why would Yun Ruan always take him along, and let him occupy the important position of the forbidden temple, in charge of the whole Kunlai discipline law.”

The man smiled coldly and then said, “Fu Chen is upright and righteous, even if he has made a mistake, he will enforce the law impartially and will not be soft on himself, which is not enough to worry about. We only need to set a trap for him to jump into, get a crime of negligence on his head, and be able to send him away. If we talk about worrying, I am more concerned about the three pro-disciples of Yun Ruan and Fu Chen.”

Yun Che listened silently, then snorted, “You mean He Qingci, Jing Mo and Shen Shuyin? These three are nothing to fear, they are now in late Gold Core qualifications, I am now middle Nascent Soul, not enough to be afraid of.”

The man mused, “Uncle Yun Che, you are very powerful, if you fight hard, those three are certainly no match for you. But these three people have a high reputation in Kunlai, and their qualifications are very high, so I’m afraid that a rash attack may lead to unnecessary changes. This Shen Shuyin seems to be frivolous, but secretly also has a large number of Shixiong brothers support, the power should not be underestimated. And He Qingci and Jing Mo, both are thoughtful and decisive. Especially that Jing Mo, he is not only ruthless, decisive, but also far-sighted, omnipresent, he acts in such a way that often reminds me of another person.”

Yun Che wondered, “Who is it?”

The man said in a deep voice, “The last Kunlai Sect Leader, now in charge of the entire Demon World, Lord Demon King, Shen Mu.”

Yun Che smiled and suddenly remembered that many years ago when he was young, he had just entered the Kunlai Sect. Yun Che had seen that man from afar, and now thousands of years have passed, but he has never forgotten how magnificent that man was, almost wiping out the entire Kunlai with a smile.

Yun Che secretly winced, and then waved his sleeve and said angrily, “You think too much, this matter should not be mentioned again. We don’t need to worry too much about those three people, just send a trustworthy person to keep an eye on them, if there is any abnormality, just come to inform me, if they are found, just kill them. Remember, within a month, you must do everything you can to keep Fu Chen in check, and vow to take back the Sect Leader position.”

The man immediately answered, “Yes!”

Lu Ming’s heart was horrified, he seemed to have heard something very important, uncle Yun Che was always good to people and respectful to the Sect Leader, he always looked like a moral person, but he didn’t expect to be so bad inside. He not only wanted to kill people, but also planned to assassinate Yun Ruan and Master Fu Chen in order to take the Sect Leader position. It’s really a matter of knowing people’s faces but not their hearts.

However, Lu Ming seemed to have never heard the other person’s voice. He tried to search his memory but ultimately found nothing, and did not know who this mysterious person was, so abetting Yun Che to seize the Sect Leader’s position, and did not know why. He called Yun Che an uncle, so he should be among the Shixiong disciples.

Lu Ming retracted his thoughts and was about to quietly retreat from this place when he suddenly heard an angry shout, “Who?

Yun Che found an unfamiliar aura, although weak, but still he sensed it, just their whole conversation must have been heard by this person, the heart and anger, and thought not to cast a magic power to kill the other party, but he still got away.

Yun Che and the man chased after a while, but still could not catch up, so they had to stop. The man reached out and took out a wooden plate and handed it to Yun Che, then said, “This is the waist plate of the first class Disciples.”

Yun Che’s eyes turned cold as he looked ahead and said in a cold voice, “I will definitely find this person. After leaving Secret Realm, you need to gather the big Disciples together at the first opportunity to see who is not carrying the belt.”

The man nodded and said, “If this person is found, what should be done?”

Yun Che smiled coldly and then spat out two words, “Kill him.”

Lu Ming ran wildly with his aura, leaving Yun Che far behind, and then searched with divine sense before stopping and breathing a sigh of relief, seemingly having left the other side behind.

The words of Yun Che just now made him a little distracted. If he revealed Yun Che’s true nature at this moment, not only would no one want to believe it, but he would also scare the snake. The first thing he could do was to take a look at the situation, and then he could see what’s going on, and collect evidence that Yun Che was secretly trying to kill Yun Ruan and take over the Sect Leader position.

★★★★★★

The seven-day time limit has come and gone, and everyone has left the Secret Realm by the same route they came from. Yun Ruan was afraid that the Disciples will get lost in the Secret Realm, so someone distributed paper cranes to show the way, and if they get lost, they can just take the paper crane out and inject their aura, and the paper crane will lead them to the correct location and return to the main hall.

Lu Ming took out the paper crane and let it lead him back to the main hall. As soon as he stepped out of the entrance of the Secret Realm, a lively discussion erupted from the crowd. Many people were staring at Lu Ming with a look of admiration in their eyes, making Lu Ming baffled as to what was going on.

However, Lu Ming didn’t have time to ask why. He looked around anxiously for Jing Mo’s figure, but was disappointed to find that Jing Mo hadn’t come out of Secret Realm yet.

Lu Ming waited for a long time, but did not wait for Jing Mo. He had a bad feeling at the bottom of his heart.

The first thing that happened was that Lu Ming’s face became ugly and his heart felt like a boulder was pressing down on him. He seemed to be in the middle of a terrifying fight. Lu Ming’s heart sank, but finally he couldn’t hold back any longer and stood up to rush to Secret Realm.

“It’s a white pale beast!”

The crowd suddenly burst out with a cry of alarm. Everyone looked in the direction the man was pointing, and at once, a gasp of air rose up from the crowd.

Lu Ming stopped in his tracks and looked into the small peephole. Only to see a confrontation between a several people high white pale beast panting heavily, and the human figure. The beast’s front paws curled up and backed up tightly, apparently ready to fight posture.

Lu Ming carefully identified the figure. He saw that the youth was slender and tall, his eyes were cold and sharp, his face was very handsome, and his long black hair swayed in the wind. And he confronted the Water Swamp Secret Realm’s most terrifying white pale beast, but without the slightest fear on his face, but his gaze dark as the vast night sky, surrounded by golden light hovering around, as if the gods descended, staring at the beast in front of him without the slightest intention to retreat.

The hall was suddenly silent, everyone held their breath, their hearts in their throats, eyes glued to the scene in the mirror.

On the other side of the main hall, Lu Ming’s face turned white when he saw the other side’s face clearly. The fear at the bottom of his heart seemed to come like a dark tide, and in a moment it almost took away all his strength and sanity.

That person was none other than Jing Mo.
