Chapter 1902: Chapter 1898: Avenging My Master
"Seduce me?"
Tang Ming widened his eyes in disbelief at the sight. Considering this woman was Yun Potian’s wife, even if it was a May-December romance, she must be in her forties or fifties.
A woman in her forties or fifties resorting to such measures for survival... utterly shameless.
"Don’t talk so unpleasantly. I am Yun Potian’s woman. Don’t you want to taste the wife of the number one person in martial arts?"
Li Miaoyun constantly struck seductive poses with a face full of flirtation.
"Damn you!"
Tang Ming cursed, abruptly striking Li Miaoyun on the head, killing her.
"My master was truly blind back then, to fall for such a shameless and despicable woman like you."
Tang Ming spat disgustedly. Even if the old lunatic didn’t kill her, Tang Ming would have done it himself. She was utterly shameless.
After dealing with Li Miaoyun, Tang Ming made sure there were no survivors, then released the Dust Gu, which led him through another passageway towards the surface.
Along the way, he encountered some people from the Netherworld Road and killed them directly, but his main target was the scourge, Nangong Tianyue.
With one breath, Tang Ming charged from below to the first layer of the Medical Tower, then sprinted towards the exit and dashed out at an incredible speed, only to be stunned.
As soon as he rushed out of the Medical Tower, Tang Ming felt something was off. Shielding his eyes from the sun, he observed the surroundings, finding the Ancient City deserted.
There seemed to be many residents in the Ancient City before, even if they were from the Netherworld Road, they shouldn’t have all disappeared, and most strangely, Hua Yingjie and others were nowhere to be seen.
Others could leave, but Hua Yingjie wouldn’t abandon him, right?
"Buzz!"
Just as Tang Ming was about to release the Dust Gu to investigate, a buzzing sound emerged, and a large white array plate with numerous complex runes appeared beneath him.
"What’s going on? Who’s scheming against me?"
Tang Ming’s expression changed slightly, trying to move his body, but found he couldn’t.
"Tang Ming, you finally came out."
At that moment, a familiar voice was heard.
Turning his head, Tang Ming saw Zhuge Guang standing at one corner of the array plate, along with three other young men in white clothes positioned at different directions of the plate, all making sealing movements.
"Tang Ming, long time no see. Do you still recognize me?"
From the direction opposite Zhuge Guang, another white-clothed young man with a similar appearance to Zhuge Guang spoke with a smile.
"Zhuge Qing?"
Tang Ming raised his eyebrows in surprise, sizing up the others: "Are you all from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"
"Indeed! The Heavenly Mechanism Sect operates flawlessly and naturally has follow-up measures."
Zhuge Guang grinned, looking at Tang Ming with a complicated expression: "Though I don’t want to be your enemy, the Ancient Poison Crystal Core is with you, and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect won’t let you leave unless you hand it over."
"Big brother, stop fixating on the crystal core. This kid learned our Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes from Zhuge Wu and must have his cultivation abolished."
Zhuge Qing coldly reminded.
"This..."
Zhuge Guang opened his mouth, sighed helplessly: "Tang Ming, don’t resist."
"Bastards, damn it, after fighting with the Netherworld Road’s people, now the so-called righteous sect Heavenly Mechanism wants to strike against me, utterly shameless."
Tang Ming couldn’t help but curse.
"Hahaha, those wanting to deal with you aren’t limited to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."
At that moment, hearty laughter was heard.
Then, seven figures appeared at the edge of the formation, wearing black attire with five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on their chests, with Shao Wuchou following behind them.
"Dragon Group members."
Tang Ming’s face turned grim, recognizing them as members of the Dragon Group based on their attire and association with Shao Wuchou.
"I’ve always heard there are hidden talents in the country, and this trip has truly opened my eyes, especially you, Tang Ming. You’re quite a surprise."
Next, Jin Zizai led six eccentrically dressed, odd-looking individuals appearing on another side, with three factions enclosing Tang Ming completely.
"Who are these people?"
Tang Ming secretly cultivated to break free from his restraints while staring at Jin Zizai and the others in puzzlement.
"We’re naturally from the Heavenly Wolf Palace."
Jin Zizai smiled lightly: "Originally, I thought you would surely perish at the hands of the Netherworld Road’s people, but unexpectedly, you fought against over a dozen experts and emerged alive. Truly admirable!"
"Damn it, what do you all want?"
Tang Ming growled, gritting his teeth.
"Hand over the Ancient Poison Crystal Core."
The three factions spoke in unison, and then all erupted with auras, all revealing martial general cultivation.
"Damn it! A classic case of ’the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind’ — you all actually have backup plans."
Seeing the situation, Tang Ming’s expression turned grim, having already confirmed through subtle probing that his body was controlled by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s formation, with no way to break free.
"It’s useless to talk more, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect won’t allow the Ancient Poison Crystal Core to threaten mankind, and must bring it back to the sect."
Zhuge Guang declared unequivocally.
"Zhuge Guang, the Dragon Group is a special national department. If anyone should safeguard the Ancient Poison Crystal Core, it should be us, right?"
On the Dragon Group side, a handsome and strong young man spoke calmly: "No matter what, Tang Ming is part of the Dark Group, and the Dark Group being a branch of the Dragon Group, we have the right to handle him."
"Mo Wenming, don’t use official stance to pressure me. The Heavenly Mechanism Sect never falls for that."
Zhuge Guang disdainfully smirked: "In terms of strength, the Dragon Group is indeed strong, but speaking of influence, the Dragon Group hardly qualifies to make noise in front of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."
"Correct! Whether the world is chaotic or not, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect decides. If the Dragon Group doesn’t cooperate this time and the Ancient Poison Crystal Core causes trouble, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect won’t stand idly by."
Zhuge Qing echoed.
"Hey, we’re certainly not a domestic force, no need to mind your faces. This time, the Heavenly Wolf Palace is determined to obtain the Ancient Poison Crystal Core."
Upon hearing this, Jin Zizai immediately objected: "No matter if it’s the Dragon Group or the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, they have no say in front of the Heavenly Wolf Palace."
"Bullshit! The Heavenly Wolf Palace, an overseas force daring to stir up trouble domestically, believe it or not, I’ll wipe you out."
"Wow, such big words, not afraid, just fight!"
"Currently, we’ve controlled Tang Ming; naturally, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect has the final say."
...
The three factions began fierce debates over the ownership of the Ancient Poison Crystal Core, completely treating Tang Ming as a prisoner.
"These damn bastards."
Seeing these people ignoring him, Tang Ming was infuriated, madly cultivating to break out, but the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s formation was indeed formidable, leaving him powerless.
