THE RULE KING

Bang! The sound of wood cracking rang out. Sun Yuanzheng calmly waved his hand. "Get Master Li a new chair."

In the picture, the three of them were still brutally beating up Wu Ming, who was shivering on the ground. The color of the Golden Bell Formation was gradually fading, obviously indicating that the spiritual power supporting it was running out... It was estimated that it would completely disappear in another two minutes.

Li Shanwu's lips trembled, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. How could his proud disciple have been defeated so inexplicably! Losing was bad enough... Even his pants had been pulled off! What a humiliation, in broad daylight and in front of everyone...

"Master Li, try to look on the bright side. This is just the beginning." The Sect Master of the Huoxin Sect suddenly whispered to comfort him. She could understand Li Shanwu's feelings all too well. It was like being tortured by inner demons. If there were no accidents, soon it would be time to eat the dishes... That would be even more unbearable to watch.

The other sect masters all looked grim. This monster could actually break his own bottom line! He even said that if everyone acts lasciviously, it's the same as if no one does! What would their own sects do if the chief disciple of the Absolute Formation Sect joined them later...

"Master Ye, that shouldn't be the Heaven's Luck Divine Ability, right?" Sun Yuanzheng looked at Ye Qingbi and said calmly.

Of course, it couldn't be the Heaven's Luck Divine Ability. What kind of Heaven's Luck Divine Ability involves pulling at sleeves? No one had ever heard of such a thing. It was more like a magic treasure... Where on earth did Xu Shan come from?

Ye Qingbi let out a long sigh. "It is the Heaven's Luck Divine Ability. It's just that my disciple's divine ability is extremely special, so I specifically placed a seal on his right arm."

"No wonder it's the Heaven's Luck Divine Ability. It actually has such a variation." Sun Yuanzheng exclaimed.

This was the only explanation. It couldn't be that there was something wrong with that white cloth on his arm. That would be too ridiculous. Those with the Heaven's Luck Divine Ability were truly the greatest variables... This grand competition was probably going to be far beyond his imagination.

He wasn't worried about the Fifth Sword Forging at the moment. Xu Shan's cultivation level was so low. It was obviously unrealistic for him to try to subdue the disciples of other sects just with these despicable means. Once there were too many people, unexpected things would happen. It wouldn't be surprising if he was assassinated. What he was doing was like playing with fire!

Watching the unsightly scene on the light screen still unfolding, Sun Yuanzheng walked up to the others and said, "Everyone, this grand competition is really,咳咳... hard to describe in a few words. There may be more chaotic situations in the future."

"So I suggest we keep this a secret and also remind our disciples not to spread the word. Otherwise, the cultivators in my Shuijing Domain will probably become the laughing stock of the entire Northern Region. What do you all think?"

"Master Sun is right. It should be like this." The others echoed one after another.

Ye Qingbi and Jin Yangqiu buried their heads deeply into their chests.....

The beating was over. The light of the Golden Bell Formation disappeared. Wu Ming, covered in bruises and with his spiritual power completely drained, couldn't move at all. He lay on the ground with his buttocks bare.

Lin Yue ran to a corner alone to curse Xu Shan. Lu Xiangjun kept taking deep breaths, and his face was flushed.

"Goodness, do array masters all have such strong physical constitutions? He can really take a beating."

"He's really tough."

Xu Shan stepped forward, took off all of Wu Ming's clothes and pants, and then turned him over. He kept recording with the projection jade slip in one hand and gestured at the patterns on his body with a small wooden stick in the other. It wasn't that he wanted to humiliate or threaten him with this. He just wanted to learn some knowledge about formations. His understanding of the cultivation world was seriously behind that of others, and he had to seize every opportunity to learn. Besides, this might be some internal information of the Absolute Formation Sect. The more he could learn, the better.

"Junior Brother, just looking is fine. Isn't it a bit perverted to pry and look?"

"This is for learning! There are so many wrinkles. I'm afraid of missing the details!"

After recording everything, Xu Shan casually threw away the dirty small wooden stick and helped Wu Ming put on his clothes by the way.

After waiting for a long time, Wu Ming slowly woke up. The first thing he saw were three pairs of eyes staring at him menacingly. He instinctively tried to get up and use his spiritual power to defend himself, but unexpectedly, a sharp pain shot through his body, and his spiritual power was completely exhausted.

Xu Shan leaned closer to him and sneered. "So you're an array master with tattoos? You're not that great after all."

Wu Ming was immediately flustered. "You... What happened just now?"

"Heaven's Luck Divine Ability. You fell for my Heaven's Luck Divine Ability." Xu Shan stood up straight and said, "But don't worry. We won't kill you. Join my team, and we'll be on the same side from now on."

Wu Ming touched his waist. His storage bag was gone, and his expression immediately turned gloomy.

So he was the Heaven's Luck Divine Ability user who could cook? No wonder he was chosen by the Immortality Seeking Platform. He was completely out of options now. The Heaven's Luck Divine Ability was actually so powerful. He should have activated all three formations earlier. The Fifth Sword Forging was originally the opponent he was looking for. Today, he had been defeated by the Heaven's Luck Divine Ability user... It wasn't really unfair.

Wu Ming lowered his head and sighed. "I'll join you."

Xu Shan clapped his hands and laughed. "Great! A wise man submits to the circumstances. We men are more straightforward than women. What's your name, junior brother?"

"Wu Ming."

"Just by hearing the name, I can tell you're a master. I'm Master Xu, and that's my senior brother...." Xu Shan introduced them and took out a plate of dishes. "Eat these dishes. They can restore your spirit. I made them with the Heaven's Luck Divine Ability."

Wu Ming took the plate of dishes dejectedly and took two bites directly. Xu Shan picked up the projection jade slip and started recording.

After Wu Ming recovered and looked refreshed, Xu Shan showed the light screen. Wu Ming looked at his own extremely lascivious appearance, and the veins on his forehead popped out. He immediately glared at Xu Shan. "You tricked me?"

Xu Shan pouted. "This is a means to ensure safe cooperation. I'll destroy it after the grand competition. If you rebel against me, I'll spread it outside. Got it?"

"Destroy it now, or I'll never cooperate with you. I'd rather die!" Wu Ming gritted his teeth and turned his head away.

He had a backbone. How could he allow himself to be humiliated like this?!

"Don't feel wronged. Junior Sister Lin is a woman, and she didn't say anything either. And my senior brother has also experienced it..." Xu Shan soothed Wu Ming's emotions and squatted down beside him.

"Junior Brother Wu, you should broaden your horizons. This is just a process of joining the team. We still need to get others to join. Since everyone has gone through it, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

Xu Shan's voice gradually lowered, like a devil's seductive whisper. "Besides... Don't you want to see the famous Fifth Sword Forging act lasciviously in public?"

Hm?

"Okay, I'll cooperate! Give me the healing pills."

...

Bang! Wood chips flew everywhere on the square. Sun Yuanzheng threw out a handful of fragments and rushed towards the direction of the secret realm in a rage. The other sect masters quickly flew up to stop him.

"Master Sun, calm down! Be rational! We're all in the same situation. This is a grand competition, and we can't disrupt the order!"

"Rational! How can you expect me to be rational!" Sun Yuanzheng was furious, losing all his scholarly demeanor. "Despicable! Disgusting!"

Damn it, this scoundrel actually had his eyes on the Fifth Sword Forging! He didn't consider the consequences at all! If he really succeeded, it wouldn't be just a simple feud. The face of the great cultivation family could never be lost to the Zixiao Sword Sect!

Ye Qingbi also hurriedly tried to stop him. "Master Sun, this is just a joke. My disciple still knows the overall situation. It's just that because of his insufficient foundation, he had to resort to this last resort."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent, and everyone looked at Ye Qingbi.

Do you even hear what you're saying? Knowing the overall situation? Do you believe what you just said yourself? He was just using a wooden stick to pry and look at the creases just now!

"Forget it, forget it. Master Sun, you might as well wait and see how things develop. What's so special about the Fifth Sword Forging!"

"That's right. Calm down and sit back to watch the competition."

"Hurry up! Get your sect master a new chair!"
