In Qingdi City, although government offices were established, these officials only maintained the superficial order of the city. They didn't care about the undercurrents that were raging beneath the surface.
Therefore, on the surface, Qingdi City is bustling and prosperous, just like a golden age.
Behind the scenes, many ordinary people were oppressed by gangs and families of all sizes.
This young man in brocade robes was a member of the Yin family.
As one of the three major families in Qingdi City, the Yin family controls the mining business in Qingdi City, and eighteen of the nineteen mines in Yunshan are owned by the Yin family.
It is easy to imagine how much power he wielded.
Behind them stood the Yin family of Cangzhou, with many martial saints residing within the clan.
"Hurry up! Are you trying to get yourself killed by dawdling like this?"
Yin Rujian looked at the slow movements of the lowly people in front of him, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied.
"Get running now! Anyone who tries to slack off or hide will be caught by me!"
They were now deep in the mountains.
There are many powerful wild beasts and even monsters.
Yin Rujian ventured deep into the area simply to have some fun, so he brought along some experts from his family to satisfy his "treasure hunt" desires.
This caused great suffering for the captured scouts.
Most of them were ordinary people and ordinary martial artists who had never even offended the Yin family.
They were inexplicably arrested and given the pretext of "joint treasure hunting".
These people did consider escaping, but their physical strength was no match for the experts of the Yin family. After those who escaped were caught, they were whipped dozens of times and then stripped naked and driven deep into the Yunshan Mountains.
The consequences are predictable.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man, terrified by the deep forest, burst into tears:
"Young Master Yin, I have a son to raise, please... spare me..."
His name is Wang Xun.
They work from sunrise to sunset every day, venturing out of the mountains to search for medicinal herbs. They can't save much money throughout the year, but it's enough to support their only son.
However, the appearance of this "Green Emperor's Blessing" led many people to seek him out.
Because he was familiar with the geography of Yunshan, many people wanted him to lead the way.
After rejecting many people, she finally caught the eye of Yin Rujian.
He usually treated many gang members well, but when facing Yin Rujian, they didn't dare utter a word and instead mostly betrayed him...
After getting on this pirate ship.
Just as he suspected, Yin Rujian didn't consider them human beings at all...
Hearing this, Yin Rujian sneered and stepped on his face:
"I'm doing you a favor by having you guide me..."
"No, you're ungrateful!"
The silver-armored warriors around him looked even more ferocious, and the temperature in the air seemed to have reached freezing point.
No one dared to utter a sound.
It seemed everyone had foreseen Wang Xun's death.
"Uncle Wang..."
Not far away, Mu Qubing clenched his fists, his heart filled with rage.
Wang Xun was his neighbor and often took care of him. After his mother passed away, Wang Xun treated him like his own son and took care of him together with his own child, Wang Lin.
"I have the sword energy that Brother Li has unleashed... I'll fight them to the death!"
Mu Qubing had a sudden thought and was about to go out.
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind:
"What a magnificent display!"
"Brother Li!"
Mu Qubing's eyes lit up, and the panic in his heart vanished instantly.
Ultimately, no matter how sensible he is, he is still just a child of ten years old.
It's hard to stay calm in a situation like this.
With footsteps that were neither too loud nor too soft, Li Ming walked up to the group. With a casual wave of his hand, he pulled Wang Xun and Mu Qubing behind him.
"What do you mean, sir?"
Yin Rujian's expression was solemn. The person in front of him looked like a young man, extremely handsome, and had an ethereal aura. If one stared into his eyes, it seemed as if one could see all things in the universe.
The middle-aged man behind Yin Rujian frowned deeply, and the strength in his grip on his weapon became incredibly powerful, as if he would strike at any moment.
The silver-armored warriors were also on high alert, gripping their spears and swords tightly, not daring to relax.
Li Ming, however, seemed not to have heard him and continued speaking to himself:
"To cure illness, a martial artist in this world should follow his heart and act in accordance with his true nature."
There are countless wolves and tigers like him in the world, and they can never be killed!
But since he bumped into me, well, maybe he was just unlucky, or maybe God was on his side.
Mu Qubing nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Um."
Li Ming simply patted Mu Qubing's shoulder lightly.
"You can close your eyes, or you can face this with me."
Yin Rujian's face was gloomy, and he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation level, but he heard Li Ming's words very clearly, as Li Ming hadn't lowered his voice either.
A surge of violent rage welled up inside him.
Putting aside other places, within this small territory of Qingdi City, who dares to challenge me?
"Where did this guy come from, trying to be a chivalrous knight-errant, huh?"
"You've got your hands on me?"
"You think this is..."
Yin Rujian's face was gloomy as he roared, carrying a magnificent longsword.
But the angry voice abruptly stopped.
Simply because that incomparably handsome young man possessed a pair of heavenly eyes that awed the mind, and with a mere flick of his two fingers through the air,
Yin Rujian was then decapitated.
"Killing you, you piece of trash, would only dirty my hands..."
Li Ming's cold eyes seemed to be filled with lightning, and everyone present could feel the impending storm and thunderous rage.
Feeling the immense pressure from this aura, all the Yin family warriors showed expressions of horror.
His hair stood on end, and a terrifying sense of impending death enveloped him, filling his entire body.
Everyone was so frightened that they froze on the spot, too scared to move!
The middle-aged martial artist was a master of the Divine Power Realm, but he found that his hands were no longer under his control.
The fingers gripping the blade had already stiffened.
"This person... is... a Martial Saint?"
His eyes were filled with shock, and his aura vanished instantly.
However, with just one glance, all the Yin family warriors present died instantly.
This is the might of the Martial Saint.
Li Ming imbued the Heavenly Eye with the power of the Dao of Destruction, and these ordinary martial artists could not even withstand the power of a single glance!
This scene left everyone dumbfounded.
Mu Qubing was confused and only knew that his elder brother Li was indeed as powerful as a god, as if a celestial being had descended to earth to save him.
The others realized that this seemingly young boy might actually be an old monster!
After all, it's not impossible for highly skilled martial artists to reverse aging.
"Thank you so much for saving my life, sir..."
Wang Xun was overwhelmed with gratitude and trembled all over. He quickly thanked Li Ming.
Seeing that Mu Qubing and Li Ming seemed to know each other quite well, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Doing good deeds will bring good fortune.
I never expected that Mu Qubing would know such an important person.
"However, sir, you should still be wary of the Yin family's retaliation."
"Um."
Li Ming responded softly and finished doing all of this.
He then took Mu Qubing back to Qingdi City.
...
On the other side.
The Yin family.
"Why has my son's soul lamp gone out!"
Yin Xiong, the father of Yin Rujian, said angrily.
"...He seems to have taken some men to Yunshan, but Yin Qi followed, so there shouldn't be any major problems."
The guest of the Yin family frowned.
"Investigate...we absolutely must investigate!"
"Whoever killed my son, I will make him pay with his life!"
Yin Xiong's face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were almost murderous.
