Chapter 135: Chapter 114: Accident

    Li Shiming had no choice but to make public the matter of killing the Han Family cultivator.

    This event was witnessed by Old Monk Du Yuan personally, and if he hid this, he couldn’t guarantee that Old Monk Du Yuan wouldn’t speak out.

    He didn’t know who Old Monk Du Yuan was, but he had to assume the worst.

    Although Old Monk Du Yuan had no intention of harming him, he did express a desire for him to convert to Buddhism.

    Therefore, it was better for him to come out with it himself, report it to his sect, and besides, the matter of Han Tianlei setting a trap for him needed to be resolved upon his return.

    “Junior brother, what do you mean?” the stationed cultivator awakened from his shock, exchanged a glance with the middle-aged Emperor that flashed with delight, and then asked Li Shiming.

    “I will handle Han Tianlei. After I heal the spirit plant, I’ll return to the sect. I hope that the Han Family will no longer exist!” Li Shiming replied indifferently.

    From Han Yu’s confession, he knew that the conflict between the Han Family and the Imperial Family had nearly become public.@@@@

    Many forces in Nanshan Country had already sided with the Han Family, while the stationed cultivators standing with the Imperial Family were also enemies of the Han Family.

    Normally, Li Shiming making this request would never be agreed upon by the stationed cultivator and the middle-aged Emperor.

    But Li Shiming’s display of strength was overwhelming, first breaking the array, and then producing ten corpses of middle-stage Qi Refining cultivators from the Han Family, which represented all their middle-stage Qi Refining cultivators.

    The Han Family was now extremely weak, boasting at most a few early-stage Qi Refining cultivators, who the stationed cultivator could dismiss with a flick of his hand.

    “Junior brother, the spirit plant is in the Imperial Palace. I’ll take you there first. As for the Han Family, I’ll make another trip there while you treat the spirit plant, so the Imperial side can prepare!” the stationed cultivator invited with a smile.

    She took out a talisman, flicked it gently, and the talisman transformed into a spiderweb, enveloping the Golden Winged Beetle within.

    The Golden Winged Beetle struggled continuously but couldn’t break free from the web’s constraint.

    She then took out a jade box, used a spiritual energy hand to place the Golden Winged Beetle inside the box, then closed and lightly tapped it with her finger. Spiritual Power Patterns appeared on the box, sealing it from the inside.

    “The Golden Winged Beetle is one of the mystical creatures recorded in the ‘Strange Insect Record’. You could learn the Insect Extermination Technique in the future, and then you could control this insect,” she explained softly to Li Shiming, who looked puzzled.

    Li Shiming had never heard of the “Strange Insect Record,” and of course, he didn’t know the Insect Extermination Technique.

    “What use is the Golden Winged Beetle?” he asked Ren Fei’er, looking at the jade box she handed him.

    “This Golden Winged Beetle, if sold to a cultivator skilled in Insect Extermination Technique, could be worth at least a thousand spirit stones!” Ren Fei’er did not want to explain further and switched to a simpler explanation.

    “So, this bug is that valuable, it should be well kept!” Li Shiming didn’t hesitate, as it was a part of his reward for the mission, and smiled as he put the jade box into his storage bag.

    A loud “boom” noise came from a distance, and the strong fluctuation of spiritual energy alerted Li Shiming that an accident had occurred.

    “You stay here, I’ll go check!” Li Shiming instructed Ren Fei’er, but upon seeing her reluctant expression, he amended, “You should have ways to protect yourself, but don’t stray too far from me, or I won’t be able to look after you!”

    “Got it, you’re such a nag!” Ren Fei’er chuckled and nodded in agreement.

    While Ren Fei’er sat on the back of a paper crane, Li Shiming grew a pair of wings on his back and flew towards the area where the spiritual energies had collided.

    They quickly reached the battlefield and saw the stationed cultivator engaged in fierce battle with a black-clothed cultivator.

    Ren Fei’er recognized immediately that this was a cultivator from the Xuanming Sect.
