In the group of ancient tombs.

 People were fighting.

 Xiao-Xiaojian lay quietly on the ground, going unnoticed.

 The spirit body hunters were busy fighting. They had no time to grab the treasures that had fallen, let alone bother about other things.

 Sinister aura?

 What was that?

 No one knew about the details of the Restart Array, let alone them!

 Therefore, Xiao-Xiaojian had a good time absorbing the sinister aura.

 Until…

 The men in black appeared.

 The group of ancient tombs was in downtown Qing Ming City. To cultivators who were after a one-of-kind opportunity, this was the ‘danger zone'. No one would dare to go near that!

 However…

 Zou Shenglong had to go.

 The d.a.m.n array was stuck at 99.99%!

 At this moment…

 He sneaked into the array along the secret path.

 The spirit bodies were normal.

 The array was normal.

 Only…

 There was no sinister aura!

 It was very strange!

 He swept his gaze over the surroundings. He could not detect any abnormalities.

 It was similar to finis.h.i.+ng a code but running into errors when running the code. One needed to search high and low for the mistake…

 Although they hired a group of Scouts and a group of Array Masters, he was not any of them. He could not find the loopholes along the signs of the array.

 But that was okay, he had found his own way.

 The array was working well before. Why was there a problem?

 Well…

 There was a group of people inside it.

 Hence…

 Zou Shenglong would enter the array and kill all the spirit body hunters!

 It was simple.

 It was brutal.

 It was effective.

 “Six-star!”

 “d.a.m.n it, let's go!”

 The spirit body hunters were alarmed.

 However…

 Before the arrival of the six-star, they had engaged in a prolonged fight and had no way to retaliate. All of them were murdered, the fresh blood staining the tomb.

 “Six-star!”

 Li Ergou and Lu Ming were just as shocked.

 As expected…

 A big shot had arrived!

 “Xiao-Xiaojian! Come back,” Lu Ming said in a low voice.

 Shus.h.!.+

 Xiao-Xiaojian understood right away. It came back quietly, staying close to the ground, not causing any commotions, making sure that the sinister aura still emerged.

 At this very moment…

 Zou Shenglong had just killed the people present.

 He killed all the spirit bodies except for a few that would be used for resonance.

 True enough.

 The sinister aura had appeared.

 The bodies of the spirit body hunters would be their offering.

 Other than a few smarter spirit body hunters who ran off after catching a few spirit bodies, the rest had died in the tomb. Zou Shenglong had wiped out all of them!

 “Idiots!”

 Zou Shenglong looked indifferent.

 His lips curled to reveal a smile when he sensed the emergence of sinister aura.

 Finally…

 It could continue!

 Shus.h.!.+

 He caught the few spirit bodies that were without a master and forced them to fight.

 “Need you to create a resonance with the sinister aura in the ancient tomb. All of you will fight with each other. Whoever wins will get to live. Otherwise, all of you will die!”

 Zou Shenglong threatened them.

 The spirit bodies that survived had no choice but to fight.

 Buzz—

 Buzz—

 The sinister aura was surging at a faster speed.

 At this very moment…

 Li Ergou and Lu Ming hid somewhere.

 Looking at the current situation, the six-star would not stay there for too long. He would leave soon. All they needed to do was to hide until he left.

However…

 Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Ergou's heart stirred.

 Spirit bodies, fights, resonance, sinister aura…

 These things…

 Whatever that his master used to teach him flashed in his mind. He suddenly remembered what was the prelude to restarting this array and what would happen!

 “Lu Ming. Go, let's go!”

 Li Ergou sounded very urgent.

 Energy surged around him and the sound was naturally blocked.

 “What's the matter?”

 Lu Ming found it odd.

 They were very far away from Zou Shenglong. They would not be discovered!

 “The array! There is a problem!”

 There was a grave expression on Li Ergou's face. “Didn't it cross your mind why n.o.body came here in so many years? It is not that they did not want to come, they did not dare come. And it is because this place is…

 “No! All of downtown… is within the scope of the Restart Array!

 “Once the array is activated…

 “The entire downtown area will be doomed!!!”

 Li Ergou looked solemn. “We have to leave immediately! Once there is sufficient sinister aura, the aura will be activated and we might die here!”

 Lu Ming's heart skipped a beat.

 Downtown?!

 Wait a minute

 Doesn't that include the police station?! 

Xiaobai…

 Bang!

His mind boomed.

 A coldness that was piercing to the bones seemed to invade him. Lu Ming had a clear view of everything and he stared intently at Li Ergou.

 “What is it?”

 Lu Ming's voice was low.

 “I don't know. It has been too long ago!

 “No one knows what will happen before the activation. But according to the records, it is a catastrophe! One only has a chance of survival if one enters it after the activation.

 “We have to leave immediately. We will come back after the array is activated!” Li Ergou explained hurriedly.

 “What about the hundreds of thousands of people in Qing Ming City?” Lu Ming suddenly asked.

 “I…”

 Li Ergou paused momentarily.

 That was right.

 What about the people in Qing Ming City?

 “I… I am just an ordinary cultivator… I can't save them.”

 Li Ergou smiled bitterly. “No one can save them. As you said, those men in black have prepared for this plan for a very long time…

 “So what if you killed one of them?

 “Since they started to acc.u.mulate the sinister aura, the Restart Array is irreversible! The acc.u.mulation process has been completed for thirty five ancient tombs. Once the last…”

 Li Ergou rested his gaze on the thirty sixth tomb.

 They could see it clearly.

 At this moment…

 Zou Shenglong was ama.s.sing the sinister aura.

 The sinister aura on the thirty sixth ancient tomb was almost completed.

 “There is no way to stop it…”

 Li Ergou sighed. “Let's go! Powerful people will definitely arrive to wrap this up… All we have to do is to protect ourselves.”

 This was a catastrophe. The relevant authorities would take care of it!

 They would definitely be here!

 Lu Ming was silent.

 Wait for the big shots to arrive?

 Was that possible?

 They would definitely be here, however by the time they arrived, it would be too late!

 At this moment…

 Should they… just leave?

 Was that possible?

 What about the police?

 The reason why he was able to cultivate safely in Qing Ming City was because the police took great care of him, particularly Zhang Wei. He would always share information with him secretly…

 He considered him his friend.

 What about his cla.s.smates?

 Although they were not very close, Xia Yu, Chang Liang, the person who liked his junior sister, or An Mufeng… He would frequently contact them.

 What about Li Haoran?

 He was still in Qing Ming City because of the Sword Card Master vocation!

 What about Jiang Feng?

 If he was somewhere in Qing Ming City being hunted down or recovering…

 What about Xiaobai?

 That girl…

 Lu Ming's heart trembled at the thought of her.

 He had no idea what the Restart Array meant. But at the very least to Lu Ming, all that he had gained since he transmigrated would go back to square one…

 Everything would be gone!

 He… would become the lonely young man who had just transmigrated!

 Lu Ming suddenly smiled.

 The men in black had suddenly appeared and they wanted to destroy everything that he had with the array… d.a.m.n it! Where did they get that courage from?!

 Why were they so shameless?!

 Putting aside that they were mean and evil, anyway, Lu Ming did not have a good temper…

 Hence…

 Lu Ming got up.

 “Are you mad?”

Li Ergou was shocked.

 “Hurry!

 “Get down!

 “He is a six-star. I can't remain hidden with your behavior!”

 Li Ergou was anxious. “Besides, the two spirit bodies are fighting, and there is enough sinister aura. You will be courting death if you go there now!”

“It's okay. You can leave first.”

 Lu Ming smiled. “I am good at courting death.”

 “Huh?”

 Li Ergou was confused.

 Lu Ming…

 What was Lu Ming trying to do?!

 Could it be that…

 “Lu Ming! I remember that you are not from Qing Ming City,” Li Ergou suddenly said.

 Since he was not from Qing Ming City, it meant that Lu Ming's house was not here. He was merely a student who couldn't care less. Since that was the case, why did he risk his life?!

 “Of course not.”

 Lu Ming smiled. “Don't you know that when you go to university, your household register moves with you.”

“Huh?”

 Li Ergou was confused. “D-does this count?”

 “Let me ask you.”

 Lu Ming patted his shoulder. “If you are with your wife at home and you are singing while eating a steampot, when a group of men in black suddenly appears, saying they will destroy your house. What would you do?”

 “d.a.m.n it!”

 Li Ergou was enraged.

 He had yet to get a wife. But if he married and someone tried to kill her, he would fight him at all costs!

 “Look!”

 Lu Ming's expression was indifferent.

 He looked at the black-robed six-star in the distance…

 “Sometimes, there is no need to consider one's ability.

 “So what if he is a six-star…”

 Lu Ming's gaze was icy cold.

 When he was a two-star, four-star Zhou Yang almost destroyed his shop…

 But now?

 Zhou Yang was an eunuch.

 How about the men in black?

 Forget it that Zhou Yang tore down his shop, they actually tried to kill his friends and destroy his life. How could he take it lying down?

 “I promised Xiaobai to be reimbursed… But I have yet to make do on my words!” Lu Ming said softly.

 Shus.h.!.+

 He took a step forward and went toward the thirty sixth tomb.

 “You are mad!”

 Li Ergou was shocked.

 He was touched by Lu Ming's words.

 Lu Ming…

 He was indeed cool!

 He was a four-star. But he dared to fight against a six-star because of his faith!

 As for him?

 If…

 He looked toward the six-star instinctively.

 He witnessed the powerful ability of the man in black when he had made a move just now. It was terrifying. They were not his match!

This man in black…

 He was very powerful!

 Sigh.

 Forget it.

 He should just drift along.

 Lu Ming had something to fight for, while he had nothing… d.a.m.n those who led a fulfilling real life. He even showed off that he had someone to care for before leaving…

 d.a.m.n it.

 Where was the wife that he would go all out for?

 Hence…

 Li Ergou sunk lower to the ground.

 At this very moment…

 Zou Shenglong looked at the surging sinister aura.

 99.98%!

 99.99%!

 Haha!

 It had finally arrived!

 Buzz—

 Faint sinister aura appeared.

 The jumping indicator had finally reached the last moment.

 Just when Zou Shenglong was about to jump up from joy, a figure suddenly appeared. Energy surged and charged toward the thirty sixth ancient tomb!

 Eh?

 Zou Shenglong swept his gaze over the surroundings.

 “How is it possible that there are survivors?!”

 Zou Shenglong sneered.

 However…

 The figure ignored him. Dozens of sword gleams were released and they charged toward Zou Shenglong.

 Bang!

Bang!

“A Swordsman?”

 Zou Shenglong leered.

 Shus.h.!.+

 He raised his hand and the sky full of sword gleams disappeared. A Swordsman might be powerful. It was a pity he was only at the four-star level. He could not defeat him…

 Zou Shenglong stiffened.

 The sword gleams disappeared.

 However, the spirit bodies that were fighting disappeared as well.

 Yes.

 The few spirit bodies were gone!

 Shus.h.!.+

 The sinister aura disappeared suddenly.

 Zou Shenglong looked sullen.

 He knew what was going on.

 When the sword gleams appeared, a card that concealed its aura appeared silently and the spirit bodies were wiped out all at once…

Whoos.h.!.+

 The card danced and returned to the hands of the figure.

 How is this possible?!

 Zou Shenglong looked at the figure in front of him. He was merely a four-star…

 But looking at his ability…

 How was it possible that it could wipe out all the five-star spirit bodies?!

 Even if he wanted to destroy the five-star spirit bodies, he was not able to do it silently, but the person in front of him…

 Right then…

 Zou Shenglong took a serious look at the figure that had suddenly appeared.

 “Lu Ming?”

 Zou Shenglong frowned.

 “Do you know me?”

 Lu Ming was very shocked.

 “Of course.”

 Zou Shenglong cast him a deep look. “We have kept a check on the few people that we should keep a lookout for in Qing Ming City. But I never imagined that you would be here.”

 “Who are you…”

 “Zou Shenglong.”

 “Did you create this array?”

 “No, it is our Array Master Cheng Hao who referenced the traces left by the veterans and wrapped up the thousand-year-old array. Eventually, he completed the Restart Array!” Zou Shenglong sneered. “Right now, it has reached 99.99% and it is about to be completed! Therefore, you should not be here now.”

“This name of yours.” Lu Ming sighed. “It doesn't deserve 100%!”

 Zou Shenglong was puzzled.

 What did the name have to do with the completion of the plan?

 However…

 It did not matter!

 He looked at the young man in front of him. “You shouldn't be here. I am serious! My Scouts have deduced Lu Yan's future. Therefore… if possible, I don't wish to offend you.”

 It's a pity.

 Zou Shenglong felt somewhat regretful.

 Seriously…

 If it was possible…

 He did not wish to offend Lu Ming.

 Therefore, although they knew that Lu Ming was involved with Fan Ze matter and some other incidents, they did not plan to capture Lu Ming for research.

This was because of Lu Yan.

 Unexpectedly…

 Lu Ming turned up by himself!

 “Oh?”

 Lu Ming was surprised. “You have done a deduction regarding my sister?”

 “Yes.”

 Zou Shenglong gave a definite answer.

 “How about me?”

 Lu Ming was curious.

 “We have done a deduction as well…”

 Zou Shenglong was honest. “Your future is ordinary and mediocre. There are no ups and downs. It is just like plain water. One can't see any fortunes or calamities… as it is too mediocre. Though you have such a talented older sister, you only have average abilities and you are destined to not accomplish anything in life.”

Lu Ming was speechless.

 Look!

 He was a salted fish [1.Salted fish: Chinese Internet Slang for a boring and idle person with no ambitions]!

It was a pity.

 What they deduced was the life trajectory of Little Lu Ming. If they deduced it now…

 They would have to supplement it with a little pill.

 “It is such a pity.”

 Zou Shenglong looked at Lu Ming with sympathy. “Do you think that after killing those spirit bodies, I won't be able to replenish them? I am sorry, since I am here…

 I have naturally brought spirit bodies with me.”

 Zou Shenglong sneered at Lu Ming. “The extra time that you fought for with your life is merely a joke.”

 There was a ball of lights in his hand.

 Inside…

 Was a spirit body.

 Although it was not as powerful, it could make up for the needed sinister aura in the final stage!

 “I know that you are trying to buy time.

“I also know that you are waiting for some big shots to show up.

 “It's a pity.

 “Everything is a joke.

 “One of the main characteristics of the Restart Array is its concealing abilities. Very few people know of this catastrophe… No one will know…

 “Those who guess the truth were once acquaintances…

 “Or… We have sold places in the legacy to them.

 “That's right.

 “After restarting, we will return in glory. Outsiders will have to secure a place to enter our legacy… Hahaha. We have already prepared everything!

 “According to what I know, the Starry Sky Pavilion is the only place that is capable of deducing this. It is a pity that they pay no attention to the affairs of life. They abide by the so-called rules…

“Therefore… You don't have to harbor the hope that anyone will be coming.”

 Zou Shenglong looked indifferent.

 How could they be unprepared after a thousand years of expectations?!

 Since they had come this far because of the Scouts, they were prepared that others might do deductions.

 Right from the beginning…

 Everything was a joke!

 To the outsiders and many ‘Scouts', the rare opportunity in Qing Ming City was merely a fairly decent group of ancient tombs. That was all…

 Catastrophe?

 No way!

 “I once invited your sister.

 “It's a pity; she wouldn't join us.

 “However, it's alright. After this has ended, I will send her the invitation again. After all, everyone is envious of your sister's future…

 As for you…”

 Zou Shenglong gave him a pitiful gaze. “You will be the gift that we give your sister. Let's end this.”

 He lifted his hand.

 Bang!

Multiple lights surged, enveloping Lu Ming all of a sudden…
