Chapter 1913: Chapter 1909: Visitors from Rainbow Cloud Peak
The next day, Lin Canghai, following the coordinates provided by Tang Ming, arrived at the ancient city with members of the Dark Group and took control of it.
At the entrance of the Medical Tower, Lin Canghai was taken aback to see Tang Ming and others standing in front of the door with a group of beauties.
"Tang Ming! Didn’t you say there was danger all over here? It looks more like a never-ending feast for the eyes to me."
Lin Canghai glared at Tang Ming with irritation.
"These are all victims who, after being rescued by us, decided to offer themselves. Why do you care?"
Tang Ming curled his lips and impatiently ordered, "Have the place cleaned up, the entire ancient city and the Medical Tower, and report back to me. This place is indeed a treasure trove, and the Medical Tower has more than meets the eye. It would make an excellent base for me in the martial arts world."
"You’re causing chaos in the city, and now you’ve dragged it into the martial arts world too."
Lin Canghai sighed and then instructed his men to enter the Medical Tower and start cleaning.
Tang Ming did not deal with the corpses of those on the Netherworld Road, nor the debris in the various trial venues on different floors. Now, it was up to the Dark Group members to handle these matters, while he...
Tang Ming, Meng Xianjun, and Zhang Chuming sat around a table happily playing cards, with 13 and several maids holding umbrellas to block the sun, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Canghai rushed out of the Medical Tower in a hurry: "What are you doing? So many people are dead inside?"
"You were called to deal with the aftermath, so why so much nonsense?"
Tang Ming uncomfortably curled his lips, "We just discussed it, and I’ve decided to establish my own sect here. It will be the site of my sect, so tidy it up properly."
"You want to establish a sect?"
Lin Canghai was slightly surprised, "What about the Poison Sect and the Flowing Cloud Sect?"
"Isn’t it obvious? Of course, they’ll move here to join me. I want to integrate these forces and then establish a sect."
Tang Ming smiled expectantly.
Starting his own sect would allow him to gather the survivors of the Poison Sect, the Flowing Cloud Sect, and the Heavenly Cloud Palace all in one place, eliminating the need for scattered management. Moreover, if he could invite the Old Madman and Tang Cha to oversee the sect, it could instantly step into the ranks of hidden sects.
"Ugh! Comparing oneself to others is truly maddening!"
Meng Xianjun put down a card, sighing dejectedly, "While we’re still seeking the protection of families and sects, you’re already contemplating starting your own. Impressive, really impressive!"
"That’s true. Without the support of the God and Ghost Sect, merely possessing the Exorcism Order would have been enough to have everyone in the martial arts world after me. I’d probably be long dead by now."
Zhang Chuming nodded repeatedly.
"We’ll talk about other things later. We found some strange stuff on the bottom floor of the Medical Tower. Do you want to take a look?"
Lin Canghai, never fully understanding Tang Ming’s intentions or caring to ask, directly mentioned his findings.
"The bottom floor should store the Ancient Poison Crystal Core. It’s already empty. What could be there?"
Hearing this, Tang Ming grew curious.
"I can’t say for sure, but there might be something below the bottom floor, though I’m not too sure."
Lin Canghai thought about it before responding cautiously.
"Something else?"
Tang Ming grew intrigued, quickly setting down his cards, "Brothers, you missed the big show earlier. It seems the story’s not over yet!"
"Interesting! I definitely won’t miss it this time. Let’s see what intriguing things might lie beneath the Ancient Poison Crystal Core."
Meng Xianjun was also quite interested.
"Baobao, we’re going to check out something fun. Are you coming?"
Zhang Chuming looked over at Zhang Baobao, who was lounging on a folding chair, enjoying a massage from several girls.
"Yes, yes, yes! Are we burying something again? Where’s my shovel?"
With that, Zhang Baobao jumped up, looking for a shovel.
Tang Ming and Meng Xianjun twitched at the corners of their mouths, looking strangely at Zhang Chuming.
"Cough, cough, cough! Sorry about that. Baobao was dug out from the ground back in the day, so over the years, her biggest hobby has become burying people."
Zhang Chuming explained awkwardly.
"No wonder she insisted on burying me back then, saying something like ’only when proficient.’ Turns out she’s a repeat offender!"
Tang Ming looked at Zhang Baobao speechlessly, remembering how he almost got buried by her before.
"Who dares to act recklessly here? Get out!"
Just as Tang Ming and the others were about to enter the Medical Tower, a resounding howl echoed in the sky.
The Dark Group members guarding the ancient city were so affected by the sound that they felt dizzy, collapsing and swaying.
Lin Canghai also held his head in pain. With his level of cultivation, he had no means to resist the sound.
"Who goes there?"
Tang Ming placed a hand on Lin Canghai’s shoulder, transferring energy while shouting angrily.
Seeing that the newcomers could injure so many people with just their voice, indicating formidable power, Tang Ming and the others looked in the direction of the sound with grave expressions.
Soon, several figures in purple robes approached. The two leading figures gazed over Tang Ming and the others with cold eyes.
Tang Ming, puzzled, examined the newcomers, unable to see their true faces for the moment.
The two leading newcomers, one with white streaks in his hair, dressed in a purple robe over a gray martial arts outfit, had a face as sharp as a knife, with a stern middle-aged appearance.
The other had long silver-white hair, a face with slight wrinkles, and was elderly, wearing a white martial arts robe under a purple robe.
"Watch out, these are people from Rainbow Cloud Peak."
Just as Tang Ming was pondering who the newcomers were, Meng Xianjun and Zhang Chuming whispered solemnly.
"Rainbow Cloud Peak?"
Tang Ming’s eyes gleamed.
Rainbow Cloud Peak was where Xia Wei’er cultivated. He originally planned to visit Rainbow Cloud Peak after settling matters here to see Xia Wei’er. Who would’ve thought they’d run into each other unexpectedly? What a coincidence!
"Who are you to dare behave recklessly on Rainbow Cloud Peak’s territory? You’ve got some nerve!"
The newcomers shouted angrily from afar.
"Gentlemen, are you from Rainbow Cloud Peak?"
Tang Ming hurriedly tidied his clothes, eagerly watching the rapidly approaching group, his face suddenly stiffening, "Damn, it’s them?"
"You know these people from Rainbow Cloud Peak?"
Meng Xianjun looked at Tang Ming with surprise.
"Rainbow Cloud Peak, my foot! They’re not from Rainbow Cloud Peak. They’re from the Martial Sect!"
Tang Ming cursed irritably, having initially believed they were from Rainbow Cloud Peak, possibly Xia Wei’er’s peers, only to find out it was all a blunder.
"That can’t be! The purple cloud-embroidered robes they’re wearing are the hallmark of Rainbow Cloud Peak. No one else wears such attire,"
Zhang Chuming responded with certainty.
