Chapter 237: Chapter 150 Acting Within the Rules_2

The rest were not worth taking as reference.

Subsequently, Qin Ming turned to comprehend the remnant copy of the "Black Roc Scripture."

Old Donkey was shocked; in a trance, it seemed as though it saw its elder brother transform into human form, traversing through the torrential rain, that sharp aura, the terrifying claw skill, and the swift movement technique made it tremble in heart and spirit.

After absorbing the essence of the strange blood, practicing the Arrow Scripture and Fiery Sun Sword Technique, Qin Ming emerged in a heavy sweat, feeling relaxed and in high spirits, but he also felt a bit hungry.

He ordered, "Roast the Black Roc, let’s see what Roc meat tastes like."

Upon hearing this, Lv Chongxiao went numb all over; was he expected to roast his elder brother with his own hooves?

Deep into the night, within this structure, the aroma was rich. After tasting seriously, Qin Ming found that hedgehog meat was rather good, Fire Qilin lion meat was mediocre with a slightly fishy taste, while Roc meat and Brocade Sparrow wings, after being roasted, smelled fragrant.

However, his favorite was still the donkey meat in the iron pot; fresh, tender, and chewy, it suited his palate.

It wasn’t that he wanted to "kill the donkey after it had done its job"; it was mainly because this Old Donkey always harbored thoughts of taking revenge even if it took three hundred years, how could he tolerate that?

It had once endured in silence for a hundred years, slaughtering the descendants of its former master. This time, it bolstered itself with the thought of slaughtering his offspring three hundred years later when this human youth’s lifespan would have expired.

Qin Ming had long since resonated with its intense emotional fluctuations, and was naturally ready to send it on its way.

"With so much demon flesh and blood, I can’t eat it all by myself; what a waste!" He did not notify the surrounding villages to collect the meat, as it was not within human territory, travel was very dangerous, and it might invite retaliation from the Alien Species later.

The main reason was that, in the newly opened frontier territories, the land was vast but sparsely populated, the farms of the Fire Field were exceptionally fertile, and the yield was abundant. If not for demon attacks in recent years, the area would be suitable for habitation.

"I’m pioneering!" Qin Ming realized that he had ventured into the realm of demons, beheading long-lived demons, and had already more than completed this assessment.

Thinking of these, a shadow crossed his mind.

The Black Roc, Fire Qilin, Silver Wolf King, and other demons had ambushed him; there had been humans who passed messages to them; was the Six Imperial Ancestor Court involved behind this?

After all, the local assessment was led by them.

If there was a shadow of the Six Imperial, he wanted to flee immediately, subdue a Bird Demon, and set off on his own.

However, the return journey of forty thousand li was a bit long, and the endless dark realms were full of danger. Normal raptors simply wouldn’t be able to traverse it, making it very easy to be hunted by unknown creatures along the way.

Qin Ming pondered seriously and believed that the basic rules of the Six Imperial Ancestor Court were still in place.

If someone could really cover the sky with one hand and if there were major problems, they would just come to kill him directly, there’s no way he could survive.

Qin Ming sighed a breath of relief, filled his belly with food, and set off in the heavy rain.

Lightning split the night sky, the heavy rain covered the entire plain, splashing water everywhere within the boundless forest, enveloping it in a thin mist.

In the rainy night, Qin Ming was like a Banished Immortal, carried by the Green Mist, stepping on the grass, and each step took him far across.

His body was enveloped in green light, ethereal and close to immortal. The Yimu essence of the entire plain was at his disposal, engulfing him.

While on the road, Qin Ming was not only tireless but also had Yimu Spiritual Medicine enter his body, the essence of mountains and vegetation always purifying his flesh and spirit.

After the battle in the Black Roc Mountain, he ingested four Miracle Medicines, which truly extended his life, increased his potential, and enhanced his strength, giving him a taste of the sweetness and determining to make another strike.

This time, his target was the boss of the God Like Association!

Incidentally, he wanted to clarify if there was any involvement of the Six Imperial in this matter.

"We’ve arrived!"

Only fifty li away, Qin Ming quickly arrived, supported by the Green Mist and the vibrant life of the grass and trees, making him seem especially airy and ethereal.

A large mountain stood in front, the stronghold of the God Like Association, a place where no one dared to challenge on a normal day, belonging to an extremely dangerous territory.

Qin Ming silently climbed the mountain. There were beast monsters, bird demons, and humans here; the composition was complex, with a "god-like creature" as the leader in the depths of the Yewu World. Who knows what their original intention was when they created this organization.

This night, at the God-like Association’s stronghold atop the mountain summit, a torrential downpour raged, with abnormal bolts of lightning striking down one after another, causing a cliff to collapse and boulders to tumble down.

Many members were shocked. What was happening?

Amidst the blood-red lightning flashes, why were there shadows traversing back and forth, as if in battle?

"That’s the boss fighting to the death with someone!"

Demons rushed forth, and humans hastened to the mountain peak, but soon there were screams of agony.

This fight was extremely hard for Qin Ming. He observed in the dark for a long time and only made his move to hunt after confirming the God-like Association leader’s level of strength.

Unexpectedly, this person was even more formidable than imagined.

He came from a prestigious family and was from the Five Elements Palace. Although he was just a discarded disciple, he had long since broken away and made a name for himself in the Yewu World’s Great Sect.

This person was named Sun Teng, who had set foot in the Outer Saint Domain for many years, and mastered more than one top-tier Miracle Technique, with the "Withering and Flourishing Scripture" being his specialty.

He was not only capable of drawing the essence of plants and trees from this plain but also comprehended the variations of Yin Yang from withering and flourishing, making his abilities extraordinarily powerful.

He used the transformations of withering and flourishing to mask his own vital energy, causing even Qin Ming to be mistaken.

Qin Ming took Ba Wang’s Will as his core, using tonight’s special extreme weather to summon wind and thunder, bombarding his opponent.

The result was that Sun Teng, who had grasped the Yin and Yang changes of the "Withering and Flourishing Scripture," was actually able to dissolve part of the lightning with Yin Yang Qi.

If Qin Ming had not refined three types of Miracle Medicine on Black Roc Mountain to enhance his potential and strength, tonight’s battle with Sun Teng would have been evenly matched, and the outcome would have been uncertain.

Now, the mountaintop was a mess. The ground had already cracked open, with many scorched areas, and bodies of God-like Association members lay scattered, some killed by lightning, others slain by Qin Ming with the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade.

"What a pity, I didn’t get the top-level Miracle Technique ’Withering and Flourishing Scripture.’ Sun Teng’s will was as solid as iron, no wonder he achieved such success," he sighed lightly, with considerable regret.

Such a ruthless person, with emotionless demeanor and incredibly strong willpower.

"The Great Sect has too much at its disposal; direct lineage disciples are not short of Miracle Techniques."

Qin Ming knew here that he was exposed because he had invited a peer on the Shenshang Plain to kill the Silver Wolf King and was then betrayed.

He was somewhat distracted; at that time, he even helped that person kill a demon, but not only did the other party not appreciate it, they also sent him such a "big gift."

Qin Ming found the person among the corpses on the mountaintop, who had already been split in two by his blade.

"I can’t investigate any further, let this matter rest!"

Qin Ming took off the battered "cloth strips" he was wearing, scavenged around for a bit, changed into a new set of clothes, and then rode away with Yimu Essence, his large sleeves fluttering, like an Immortal hurrying along.

The next day, Elder Zhou Tao from the Six Imperial Ancestor Court personally came to Shenshang Plain, riding on a raptor and inquiring with the White Peacock in the high skies.

"The time is almost up; has there been any accident? Is everything still going according to the rules?" He was very polite to the White Peacock, treating it as an equal.

Because the other party was indeed very strong!

The giant White Peacock nodded and said, "Some issues have arisen; and Elder Zhou, you are involved."

"Oh? What happened?" Zhou Tao grew serious.

The White Peacock informed him, "Your Miracle Medicine was harvested by someone. Not only that, the Wild Medicine discovered by other elders of the ancestral court was also picked."

"What? Who is breaking the rules?!" Zhou Tao raised his voice.

The White Peacock said, "Among them, a teenager abided by the rules and uprooted several Miracle Medicine plants, roots and all."
