Chapter 35
Li Ming and Chen Qingke divided the spirit fruits they had just harvested.
After all, it was Junior Sister Chen who had attracted most of the firepower from the other party. Because of that, Li Ming gave her half of the spirit fruits.
Although Chen Qingke did not care about it that much, Li Ming still distributed the resources they acquired according to the team’s standards.
Then, the two of them adjusted their direction.
They continued to advance toward the central area of the secret realm.
This time, they were extremely well-hidden as they advanced.
Even if they encountered disciples passing by, they did not casually reveal their position.
This was because even if they encountered these disciples, they would not be able to benefit from them.
Moreover, they were fully loaded.
On the way to the central area, Li Ming once again detected an ambush with his divine sense.
He smiled inwardly when he discovered them.
It appeared that there was more than one group who thought to carry out such a tactic in the secret realm.
Thinking about it, it made sense. In this batch of inner sect disciples, there were only a few who had strong individual strength.
It was more about forming teams, and they naturally needed to take advantage of their numbers.
Coupled with the geographical advantage, even a top disciple who had perfected the qi refinement stage would be placed at a disadvantage when facing a team who had prepared properly.
However, those who were lying in ambush would never have expected that Li Ming could detect them in advance with his divine sense.
He even knew where the traps that they laid down were.
After telling Chen Qingke, she instantly became excited.
The two of them had already worked together once, and they had a tacit understanding.
He immediately took action and repeated the same trick.
This time, things went even more smoothly than before. Chen Qingke took out the small bronze cauldron and caught the ambushers off guard.
“Who dares to ambush us?”
This group of disciples was very strong, and there was even a cultivator who had reached the perfected level of the qi refinement stage among them.
He directly used his magical artifact to fight against the small bronze cauldron and was not at a disadvantage.
Chen Qingke did not really want to fight him. She just wanted to make a bigger scene.
Thus, the ambushers were all provoked to come out.
At this time, Li Ming secretly entered the spiritual land and began to harvest!
Li Ming uprooted the spiritual plants in large droves, not planning to leave them even a hair.
The group of people who were distracted by Chen Qingke turned around and saw Li Ming. They were all furious.
Compared to the powerful Chen Qingke, they would definitely want to catch Li Ming more.
But to their surprise, Li Ming’s speed was far beyond their imagination. He broke into a run.
Before he ran, he did not forget to take away the spirit fruits that were left on the ground.
The speed he displayed made it impossible for them to catch up to him.
After several turns, they lost track of Li Ming. When they returned, Chen Qingke had naturally managed to slip away as well.
“It was a setup!”
This group of people was also grief-stricken.
The spiritual land that they had guarded with great difficulty had been ransacked just like that.
Li Ming and Chen Qingke strolled around and met up again.
When they reconvened, Chen Qingke saw the harvest in Li Ming’s hands. It was another big pile of spirit plants.
“Haha, awesome!”
“Senior brother, let’s go for more!”
Chen Qingke felt both excited and refreshed.
Being chased and cursed at by people who could do nothing to them made her feel especially refreshed and reinvigorated.
Li Ming looked at Junior Sister Chen, and his heart broke out in a sweat. Could it be that he had led his innocent little junior sister astray?
However, this kind of business was definitely profitable. Who asked those people to set up an ambush?
If they really managed to ambush him, all the gains would be taken away, and it would be a huge loss for him.
Thus, he took Chen Qingke to wander around the central area.
With his powerful divine sense, he discovered a few more ambushes.
And they followed the same plan they had carried out before.
Chen Qingke would attract their attention, while Li Ming took the opportunity to plunder the resources.
The advantage of this was that Chen Qingke was an influential figure among inner disciples. Once she made a move, she was easily able to attract everyone’s attention.
When they ran over and saw her face, it was the best time for Li Ming to make a move.
His Wind Lightning Steps, coupled with his strong physique, made him perfect for plundering the entire spiritual lands.
This was repeated a few times.
The two of them had filled their storage bags to the brim.
Spiritual grass, spiritual plants, spiritual fruits, spiritual soil, and spiritual mist. The secret realm was truly rich. The resources here were simply too abundant.
Their gains were also getting bigger and bigger, but the two of them did not have any enmity toward one another.
Chen Qingke knew that her senior brother would not mistreat her. She felt that it would be fine even if she gave all her resources to Li Ming.
…
“You guys were taken advantage of by Li Ming too?”
“Ah? You guys were robbed too?”
When the teams that had laid in ambush met each other, they could guess what was going on just by looking at each other’s faces.
They had all been lying in ambush, but in the end, they had been tricked by such a simple diversion.
One of the teams was already prepared and had their disciples guard the spiritual land.
However, as soon as Chen Qingke appeared, the few disciples that were there could not hold back and ran over to help. In the end, they were robbed by Li Ming.
When they gathered together, they felt indignant.
They decided to unite and play a trick within a trick.
They would have a group of people lie in ambush in a valley with a spirit tree, while the rest of them pretended to lie in ambush in a place even further away.
And Sure enough, Li Ming and Chen Qingke, who could not hold themselves back, were soon ambushed.
Several groups of people had blocked their path in the valley.
Li Ming quietly pulled out the spiritual tree and put it in his storage bag.
Chen Qingke, on the other hand, was shocked to see two perfected qi refinement disciples and many other powerful disciples when she was trying to exit the valley.
On the other side, Li Ming, who had originally wanted to escape through another exit, was also occupied by two perfected qi refinement disciples.
These disciples had long been informed and knew that Li Ming’s speed was a little strange, so they deliberately found a valley with cliffs on both sides.
“Li Ming, Junior Sister Chen.”
A disciple in a daoist robe who had perfected the qi refinement stage calmly walked in front of the two.
He stared at Li Ming with a dark face and said, “Hand over your storage bags!”
“Don’t blame us for being heavy-handed if you try and resist.”
The rest of the people also surrounded him. While they could not kill them in the secret realm, they could still cripple him.
Facing so many experts, Chen Qingke’s expression turned grave.
There was a total of four disciples who had perfected the qi refinement stage in the other party, and they also had quite a deep foundation.
In the current situation, they could only try their best to break out of the encirclement in one direction.
In this case, someone had to help her guard her back.
Chen Qingke turned to Li Ming and said quickly, “Senior brother, let’s rush out in one direction. Can you help me guard my back? ”
“No problem,” Li Ming nodded.
At this moment, the two of them did not reply to the other party, nor did they have any intention of surrendering.
The qi refinement disciples frowned. If the two did not surrender, they would lose face.
“Just give up, Junior Sister Chen!” The disciple in the daoist robe said in a deep voice.
“You have no chance of winning.”
Chen Qingke did not waste any time and said coldly, “We won’t know if we don’t try.”
She transformed into a flying swan, and a small bronze sword with flowing lights and vibrant colors danced around her.
She brazenly charged towards one direction.
The disciples did not expect Chen Qingke to be so decisive.
However, the reaction of the two disciples guarding the exit was not slow. They quickly took out their magical artifacts, and waves of dao runes circled around them. Their aura was not any weaker than that of Chen Qingke.
The perfected qi refinement disciples blocking the other exit also did not hesitate and attacked from behind.
Li Ming guarded Chen Qingke’s back, already wearing his gloves.
In the end, Junior Sister Chen was still the main force on the main battlefield.
Very quickly, everyone started fighting.
Li Ming looked back and saw the small bronze cauldron and small bronze sword dancing in Junior Sister Chen’s hands, erupting with extremely powerful and sharp qi.
The two magical artifacts did not mess with one another at all. They allowed Chen Qingke to fight against two opponents who had an equally deep cultivation as her.
Her two opponents were both incomparably fierce, and their might was astonishing.
But even then, Chen Qingke was not placed at a disadvantage at all.
