Chapter 2319 -2314: Encountering Murong Again

The disciples of the Holy Maiden Palace all nodded one after another, then left Divine Maiden Peak in batches and waves.

Wan’er stood at the foot of Divine Maiden Peak, looking at that shattered statue, and let out a long sigh. “Master. Wan’er did not do as you said, standing at the highest point of Divine Maiden Peak to defend its dignity. But Wan’er feels that taking this step is the right thing. Without the Taoyuan World, there would never be the Holy Maiden Palace. Rather than be enslaved by those bastards from other planes, it’s better to die on the front lines fighting them. Wan’er is leaving. I hope that one day, Wan’er can come back.”

Tang Ming silently watched Wan’er, but in his heart he was secretly swearing that he would spill his last drop of blood for the Taoyuan World.

When Murong and the people of the Jin Family arrived at the coast where the Twin Clan lived, many more tents had appeared there.

All those in the tents were followers of the Blood Ancestor; they all came from the islands out at sea.

Having gained the Blood Ancestor’s power and been granted boons by the Blood Ancestor, they had already changed appearance. Most of them had blood-colored markings on their bodies; if you didn’t look from close range, you could no longer tell they were truly human.

This time the one leading the group was Jin Bashan. Thanks to Tang Ming’s method, the Jin Family had not only gained lots of gold bricks, but also a bunch of strong, sturdy lads.

Jin Bashan decided to bring those sturdy lads of the Jin Family out to see the world, and to rescue the people of the Twin Clan along the way.

But the moment he saw those tents, his gaze sharpened.

“Damn it, the Family Head is so pigheaded, should’ve brought those guys Tang Ming sent along too. With just this few of us, how are we supposed to get over there?”

Jin Bashan pointed at those tents on the beach as he spoke.

“Let’s wait first. Since they’re still camped here, that means the castle in the sea hasn’t been taken yet. As long as there’s time, the garrison from West Continent City looks pretty strong; they should be able to rush over soon.”

Murong’s gaze fell on those tents as well, her brows knitting.

“Look, what’s that, is it a shipwreck?”

Jin Bashan suddenly pointed at the sky, his expression changing drastically.

It turned out that at some unknown point, the sky above the coast had suddenly darkened, the seawater began to surge in waves, and beams of light fell down through the dark clouds.

The patrolling followers of the Blood Ancestor suddenly started screaming miserably; their bodies were rapidly rotting away.

“What’s going on?”

Jin Bashan swallowed hard, his gaze landing on Murong.

Although he was of the Jin Family, he didn’t have much contact with the Twin Clan.

Though the Jin Family all knew they had the bloodline of the Twin Clan, when it came to the Twin Clan, they had always kept a respectful distance.

There were even many in the Jin Family who were hostile toward the Twin Clan.

Only Murong—who had contributed so much to the Jin Family, whose husband was an Artifact Refining Master, and who was the wife of the Twin Clan’s Wood Element Clan Leader—was regarded as a friend of the Jin Family.

In Jin Bashan’s view, this might be the power of the Twin Clan. But when they saw Murong’s expression, they realized Murong was just as full of shock.

Right at this moment, many followers of the Blood Ancestor rushed out from within the tents. These people had no blood-colored markings on their bodies, and their strength didn’t look weak either.

Tang Ming’s brows lifted slightly. “These are also followers of the Blood Ancestor? Seems they’re not afraid of your Purification Rain.”

Tang Ming’s gaze fell on Gehou standing beside him. Gehou took a deep breath, then nodded and said, “That’s right. These people have received the true inheritance of the Blood Ancestor; they should have been nurtured as new Divine Envoys, loyal to those Divine Envoys from the Blood God Plane.”

“So that’s how it is? Will they also turn into those monster snakes?”

As Tang Ming’s words fell, a massive phantom of a Blood God Plane powerhouse appeared above the coast.

It was a serpent monster with two heads.

On its two heads, sixteen eyes kept sweeping around, seemingly trying to locate Tang Ming and the others.

Tang Ming and Hu Mei’er exchanged a glance, then said, “Withdraw. We’ll make a long-term plan.”

This time, Tang Ming hadn’t brought Wan’er and Bing Yao over. After all, those from the Demon Slayer Clan were much stronger.

With Broken Horn Alec around, let alone a mere small Divine Envoy, even if the true Blood Ancestor of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect came, they would be able to cut him down.

“Mm, let’s wait till Senior Alec arrives before we decide.”

Hu Mei’er nodded. She transformed into a gigantic fox and soared into the air.

At this moment, Naim and Xue Keke of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect, as well as Murong, all saw Tang Ming.

Although she didn’t know that the fox under Tang Ming’s feet was Hu Mei’er, she did recognize Tang Ming.

“That’s… City Lord Tang Ming. Was that Heavenly Punishment just now brought down by Tang Ming?”

Murong swallowed hard, then spoke.

“Put it that way, that guy really does look like Tang Ming. You think Tang Ming’s strength is really that terrifying? That kid looks pretty scrawny.”

Jin Bashan also swallowed hard, then asked.

“Scrawny doesn’t necessarily mean weak. All right, I need to get in touch with City Lord Tang Ming. That move just now was so powerful, there might be some backlash.”

Murong’s body turned into a large tree that rose straight up beside Jin Bashan.

Before Jin Bashan had time to respond, that large tree rapidly withered and decayed, turning into a pile of ash.

“Ninth Elder, what should we do?”

The Jin Family members all turned their gazes to Ninth Elder Jin Bashan.

Jin Bashan’s eyes bulged as he said, “Do what, what do you think we should do? We wait for news, that’s what.”

Riding the demonic wind, Hu Mei’er carried Tang Ming toward the camp they had set up earlier. Not far away, in the forest, a towering ancient tree suddenly grew up. The giant tree rapidly shifted into human form—it was the larger-sized Murong.

“City Lord Tang Ming, Murong greets you.”

The big tree cupped its fists slightly, and Hu Mei’er instantly descended.

“Clan Leader Murong, why are you here?”

Hu Mei’er and Tang Ming brought Gehou down in front of Murong.

Murong also shifted from the towering ancient tree into human form.

“Murong is anxious about the safety of her clansmen, so I camped with the Jin Family on the mountain opposite. I just didn’t expect to witness City Lord Tang Ming’s heavenly might.”

Murong joked as she looked at Tang Ming.

Tang Ming bared his teeth in a grin. “What heavenly might? That was soul purification fluid. Because their souls were polluted, the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Taoyuan World no longer acknowledge them. I erased the power of deception that the Divine Envoys of the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect had placed upon them, and then the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Taoyuan World naturally destroyed them.”

“Oh? There’s something like that? Then tell me, City Lord Tang Ming—our Twin Clan also isn’t a native race of the Taoyuan World. Will we also be rejected by the Heaven and Earth Laws of the Taoyuan World?”
