Somewhere.

There was a long queue in front of a gorgeous mansion.

This was the mansion of a six-star Swordsman. Everyday, many people come there to request for him to take them as his disciples. His disciples had no choice but to come out to stop them.

At the front door.

There was an old and heavy bronze bell.

“Everyone…

“We will abide by the old rules.

“Those who can produce a clear sound from this bell will be allowed to enter,” the disciples said.

“Okay.”

Everyone was eager to try.

However…

No one succeeded. They could only sigh in defeat.

At this moment, a young lady dressed in a training suit walked over calmly. She skipped the long queue and walked straight to the front door of the mansion.

“Young lady, please line up,” the disciple said.

“I am not here to take him as my master.”

The young lady’s expression was calm. “I am here to challenge him.”

Wow—

There was a loud gasp from the crowd.

Challenge?

At her age?

Pfft!

The disciples burst out in laughter. The young lady must have come up with a new method to make their master take her as his disciple.

“Okay, okay, okay. You can go ahead with your challenge.”

The disciple was left with no choice. Cough. “If you want to challenge the master, our rule is to hit the bronze bell. If you are worse than ordinary disciples, there is no need for you to challenge him.”

“Oh.”

The young lady lifted her hand.

Swoosh!

A beam of light landed on the bell.

Dong!

A loud sound could be heard.

The resonating sound waves spread from the bell to envelope the surroundings. Half of the mansion began to shake. Many of the residents came running out.

“You…”

Everyone stared in shock at the young lady.

She…

How could that be possible?!

She looked young, why…

“I wonder which veteran is here?”

From the depths of the mansion, a sharp thought bloomed and a booming voice could be heard.

“Hello.”

The young lady appeared calm. “Lu Yan is here to challenge you!”

Qing Ming City.

Downtown.

Lu Ming sat in the empty shop, feeling depressed.

“Hello…

“There might be spirit bodies here, don’t you want to take a look?”

Lu Ming waved his hands.

Hehe.

The cultivators who walked past cast him a glance and ignored him.

Lu Ming’s shop?

To hell with it!

If there was a spirit body, he would have destroyed it.

If there was no spirit body…

What was the point in going?

All they wanted was to strike it rich, they did not intend to risk their lives. Besides, Lu Ming looked strange and mysterious. Perhaps his sister had left something inside him again.

Well…

It was too dangerous!

It was better to not provoke him.

The four-star or five-star cultivators had survived until now. They knew very well that Lu Ming was a disaster!

After all…

This was not the first time that there were spirit bodies in Qing Ming City.

The previous two times, fools made trouble for Lu Ming and…

They ended up dead.

“Hey, there is indeed a spirit body here.”

Lu Ming waved his hands.

He made Xiao-Xiaojian float in the air so that the detector would vibrate.

In the end…

No one came!

“Hey brother, the detector rang,” someone said.

“I know. A Sword Card Master has something called a card spirit. The detector detects it and vibrates. Look at the card behind Lu Ming. It is like the courtesan that lays there inviting you to go in. That is a card spirit!” the man explained.

“I see.”

The man was glad he did not fall for the trick.

“Remember!

“Don’t provoke a Sword Card Master!

“They are very ruthless…

A few days ago, a distant cousin of mine participated in the Illusory Realm. He was a super genius. But Lu Ming fought against him and twenty nine cultivators, defeating all of them…”

“It’s that amazing?”

“My cousin is a three-star, but he can defeat me who is a peak four-star! He is a super genius who has combat abilities beyond his level! But he was so depressed that he re-cultivated…”

“Oh my goodness!”

The person stole a glance at Lu Ming and ran off as if he had seen a ghost.

Lu Ming was silent for a long time.

This story…

Why was it different from what he imagined?!

He looked at his outstretched hands and he felt like a woman running a brothel…

Xiao-Xiaojian was silent as well.

It was agitated by the remarks earlier that it looked like a courtesan…

It was an ancient dignified sword spirit…

You were the one who worked in a brothel!

Your entire family worked in a brothel! 

“What should we do?”

Lu Ming looked at the cracks on the wall. He was very upset. He had yet to find someone to pay for the renovations!

He had promised Xiaobai!

However…

Lu Ming thought of an idea quickly.

As a resident of Qing Ming City, he could not tolerate that other cultivators had their way and bullied local shop owners! This could not be tolerated!

As for his rights…

“Zhang Wei!

“Do you have any openings at the police station?” Lu Ming asked.

“Huh?”

Zhang Wei looked dazed. “Do you want to join?”

“Not really.”

Lu Ming thought about it. “Do you have any… well… jobs where one can mess around and be fired anytime, but it won’t cause any impact…”

Zhang Wei thought about it and whispered, “Temporary workers?”

“R-right.”

Lu Ming was elated. He was surprised that there were temporary workers in the police station.

“Can I have this job?”

Lu Ming sounded domineering. “I want to teach those guys a lesson. They don’t follow the rules!”

“This doesn’t seem too appropriate.”

Zhang Wei was between laughter and tears. “There will be repercussions.”

“It’s okay.”

Lu Ming waved his hands. “If there’s anything wrong, you can fire me!”

“Okay.”

Zhang Wei was helpless. “Pay attention to safety.”

In fact…

He had no other choice.

If possible, he also wanted to kill all the foreign cultivators. However, they were too powerful and they had large numbers. They had no other options.

Lu Ming…

Forget it.

Let him give it a try.

After a long time…

Lu Ming changed into the ‘police’ uniform and came out.

“Go! Go! Go!”

He charged to a shop with Xiao-Xiaojian.

Three four-star cultivators were rummaging through the shop, looking through all the cracks. Lu Ming went over and stopped them.

“Who let you in?”

Lu Yan said in a cold voice.

“We…”

A few of them turned in anger, but there was a dazed look on their face as soon as they saw Lu Ming. Those unrivaled looks… damn! It was Lu Ming!

Since when did he join the police?

Where was his shame?!

“We came to apologize to the owner.”

They sounded sincere. With that, they turned to the owner and kowtowed to him. “We are sorry. We have disturbed you while searching for spirit bodies.

“We’ll take note of this.”

They sounded earnest.

“Okay.”

The owner was flustered.

As a two-star cultivator, this was the best treatment that he had received in his life… A few peak four-stars actually kowtowed to him…

“Police officer.

“Can we leave now?”

The few of them apologized and looked toward Lu Ming.

Lu Ming was silent.

This turn of events…

It was not as he imagined!

Damn!

Were all of them such cowards?!

Very soon…

The few of them left.

“Second brother, aren’t we too cowardly?”

“Crap. Let me tell you, I have just received news that Lu Yan challenged Veteran Zhou and she pierced through him with a sword. Veteran Zhou hung off the wall and he almost died.”

“She’s that powerful?!”

“Yes. Think about it, she dotes on her brother… If we hurt Lu Ming…”

The few of them left in horror.

“I will check the other shops.”

Lu Ming did not believe what he saw.

Why were the cultivators so disciplined?! If he discovered anyone who flouted the rules, he would kill them directly!

Shush!

Lu Ming rushed downtown.

However…

He was shocked!

This…

Was this the supposedly chaotic downtown?!

Somewhere.

At the shop entrance.

Two five-star cultivators walked into a shop.

“Hello.

“We are five-star cultivators. We are here to detect spirit bodies. We suspect that there might be spirit bodies in the cracks of your shop…”

They looked embarrassed. “We would like to take a look.”

“Okay, okay, okay.”

The shop owner was delighted. “Come on in. I had a scare just now.”

With that…

He took the initiative to invite them in.

Somewhere.

Three cultivators walked into a certain shop.

They first chatted with the owner and gave him some pointers on his cultivation before they requested to check for spirit bodies and the owner agreed right away.

Hence…

They entered the shop successfully.

Downtown.

There were many shops.

The cultivators visited the shops one by one.

However…

Unlike the previous occasions where they entered by force, right now, all the cultivators were very polite and they would make a request to enter the shop, as well as providing free pointers and repairs…

After all…

They must be terrified that their shops almost collapsed.

Many people would be more than happy that five-star cultivators gave them advice and checked for spirit bodies.

Therefore…

Lu Ming waited a long time but did not notice anyone who flouted the rules.

After so many events happening in Qing Ming City, this was the first time that everyone was polite and quiet when hunting down spirit bodies. No one went against the law.

Lu Ming was speechless.

This…

What did this mean?!

Why was it so difficult to get some vocation cores?!

These people were used to killing. Why did they behave themselves here?!

Was this a joke?!

Hence…

The afternoon passed.

The cultivators went into the shops one after another to check for spirit bodies. Lu Ming who was in his police uniform looked lonely and he did not manage to catch anyone.

Of course.

He had some returns as well.

In the evening.

Lu Ming who was keeping a watch on everyone suddenly received a ‘Love your job’ silk banner. This was a form of respect from everyone for being on the lookout even when his opponents were five-star!

Lu Ming was silent.

He did not need any silk banner!

He was furious!

This was a provocation!

This was straight provocation!

If not…

Should he teach them a lesson?

Lu Ming’s eyes turned red, as he stared at a group of cultivators who had just passed by.

“It has been hard on the police.”

Everyone said their greetings respectfully.

Lu Ming was between laughter and tears.

Why would they behave like this?!

“Come on!

“You, come here!”

Lu Ming got the person to come forward. “What’s wrong with all of you? I remember that last time there were spirit bodies, all of you made a big commotion.”

“We’ve always been like this,” that person said.

Lu Ming swept his unfriendly gaze over him.

To hell with it.

He knew what exactly had happened the previous times.

Some of them killed people in the buildings and there were some who killed on the streets in broad daylight. They did not have any boundaries!

“That’s true.”

The person said cautiously, “Brother Lu, we have always been like this. But those who were up to no good all died during the previous events…”

“Huh?”

Lu Ming’s heart skipped a beat.

“All of them were killed…”

The man had a bitter smile. “There have been quite a lot of spirit bodies in Qing Ming City. Some people would go all out to catch them and they ended up dead…

“As for those who survived…

“We abide by the rules. It is useless to keep a watch on us.”

“Oh.”

Lu Ming finally came to his senses.

In simple terms, those who were relatively reckless had died and the remaining cultivators who had barely survived were cowardly and well-behaved. There was nothing he could do!

“We are legal citizens wherever we go,” the person emphasized.

“It’s good to be law-abiding!

“Law-abiding cultivators are good.”

Lu Ming sighed. “You have to continue to obey the rules in the future.”

“Okay.”

The person trembled in fear. Since it was good to be law-abiding, why did he make it sound as if it was a pity? He seemed hopeful that they flouted the rules…

He should leave as soon as possible.

Sigh.

Lu Ming sighed.

He was full of regret at the sight of the man leaving.

It was such a pity.

He should have been able to collect a large number of vocation cores!

Click!

A crack suddenly appeared under his foot.

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

Thankfully…

It was only a small crack. It was unlike the previous cracks. This was more like an afterthought. It was only a small crack.

Lu Ming squatted down.

He sensed the energy cautiously through the crack.

Cold and sinister… and mysterious.

“This crack seems abnormal.”

Lu Ming looked grim.

He had been used to seeing cracks in Qing Ming City.

The field, the building and even some tourist towns were covered with cracks. According to the experts’ speculation, it might have to do with the composition of the soil.

However, this time…

Lu Ming looked solemn.

He could feel slight tremors in the ground. It felt like…

“Well…

“Why did you wake up at this time?”

Lu Ming looked toward Xiao-Xiaojian.

“I don’t know.”

Xiao-Xiaojian was dazed. It had been in a deep sleep and it awakened… It wanted to recover its former glory, but ended up on a bar spirit.

As for why?

It had no idea!

“You are clueless as well.”

Lu Ming squinted his eyes.

The koi, the bar spirit, sword spirit, python…

All of them appeared in the same place. What was the reason behind it?

Everything…

Seemed to be connected?!

Oh.

No.

There was black cat as well!

Lu Ming suddenly remembered that the black cat had appeared much earlier!

Well…

“Xiao-Xiaojian.”

“Huh?”

“Do you think Brother Cat has any idea about the impending disaster?” Lu Ming asked in a low voice.

“The black cat?”

Xiao-Xiaojian paused momentarily.

A thought flashed in its mind instinctively.

It’s just a black cat, what does it have to do with this? I have no idea. If I were in my heyday, I could wave my hands and… Sorry, Brother Cat, I was wrong…

Crash!

A black shadow flashed.

Xiao-Xiaojian had been blasted to the ground.

“Hmm…

“I think Brother Cat is clueless as well.”

Lu Ming understood right away.

Xiao-Xiaojian turned sullen.

Did that mean that it was a probing tool now?

Damn!

But then again, it had to control its inner thoughts…

If not for…

Calm down!

Calm down!

Teamwork, Nervousness, Seriousness, Liveliness, Justice, Honesty…

It chanted like Lu Ming and shook itself, trying to get itself out of the ground.

Oo…

Lu Ming was deep in his thoughts.

He took a look at the cat. The black cat was still sleeping lazily. Although it heard Xiao-Xiaojian’s thoughts, it did not seem to care.

It seemed that this had nothing to do with Brother Cat!

In fact, it made sense. The Brother Cat seemed to be of a higher position…

In that case…

The koi was the first spirit body to appear.

Lu Ming wanted to sort out some clues. But then he realized that there were no similarities between the way and the time the different spirit bodies appeared. There seemed to be no symptoms at all…

Right then.

Click!

There was a clear and crisp cracking sound in the ground.

Eh?

Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.

Xiao-Xiaojian was still on the ground and it had a better idea of what was happening. “Look, the pavement in Qing Ming City needs some renovations… It has nothing to do with the spirit bodies!

“This is due to the composition of the ground!

“The appearance of a spirit body will not cause cracks in the ground!

“If we want to come out…

“All we need is a thought.

“Look!

“I can feel it as well!”

Xiao-Xiaojian lay on the ground excitedly. “Look, it was the same as when I first appeared. I locked in on my mental strength and covered the surroundings with my spiritual consciousness…”

Wait a minute.

The same?

Xiao-Xiaojian and Lu Ming were startled and they jumped out of the way.

Bang!

There was a loud sound in the area where they had just been. A sinister and cold figure appeared suddenly and the whole area exploded!

A spirit body had appeared!
