Chapter 82: Unexpected Encounter

As he arrived at the square outside the palace, he saw a group of cultivators dressed in various styles from afar.

The golden-haired male cultivator standing in the middle was naturally Wang Ming, and the petite and glamorous one next to him was Chen Xiaoman.

There were two female cultivators he hadn't seen before, one tall and graceful, and the other of average height but with a voluptuous figure.

There was also a male cultivator he hadn't seen before, with a strong physique and small eyes.

The rest of the people he recognized, surprisingly, were the few people who fought against the green cloth that day.

Li Mao, Zhao Mazi, Gang Ge, and Chen Juan.

He didn't expect Wang Ming to actually hang out with this group of people and bring them out to participate in the trial.

At this moment, Zhao Mazi was hugging Chen Xiaoman from behind, with a lecherous look on his face.

It seemed that something had happened between the two.

This group of people really knew how to have fun.

However, although Chen Xiaoman had a smile on her face, she seemed somewhat forced, as if she was pretending.

The Spirit Rice toxin in her body should have been completely eliminated by now, and she was no longer so desperate.

Perhaps she no longer liked this kind of life.

Chu Ming didn't think much about it and walked up.

"You must be Senior Brother Wang, I am Chu Ming. I have seen Senior Brother and all the senior brothers and sisters."

Wang Ming looked young, but he was actually in his forties. According to the rules, he should naturally call him Senior Brother.

Wang Ming walked up with a smile, "You must be Junior Brother Chu, I have heard Elder Wu mention you a long time ago."

"To be able to reach the seventh level of Qi Refining in just a few months is truly impressive."

Chu Ming modestly replied, "Not at all, I am far inferior to Senior Brother."

"This trial was arranged by Elder Wu for me, he wants me to follow Senior Brother and broaden my horizons. I will trouble Senior Brother along the way."

Wang Ming waved his hand with a smile, "Haha, no need to say that, we are all fellow disciples, it is only natural to take care of each other."

"Come, let me introduce them to you."

...

After his introduction, Chu Ming also got to know the other people.

In addition to the few he already knew, the tall female cultivator was called Liu Ling, the voluptuous female cultivator was called You Cuixiang, and the strong male cultivator with small eyes was called Li Qiang.

These people had all engaged in dual cultivation with each other, and their relationships were very complicated. Chu Ming only exchanged a few polite words with them and didn't communicate much.

However, Liu Ling, seeing his handsome appearance and strong physique, took the initiative to approach him.

She leaned her arm on Chu Ming's shoulder and smiled coquettishly, "Junior Brother Chu, do you have a suitable dual cultivation partner?"

"If not, I can introduce one to you."

Chu Ming pushed her arm away with a smile, "No need, Junior Sister Liu, I already have a partner."

"After this trial, I have to hurry back to accompany her."

Liu Ling giggled, "It seems that Junior Brother Chu is a faithful man."

"In that case, I won't say much."

Wang Ming walked over with a smile and said to Chu Ming, "Junior Brother, if you are not satisfied with the dual cultivation life with your partner, perhaps you can try my broad-minded dual cultivation technique."

"This way, life can be more interesting and it will also be beneficial to cultivation."

Chu Ming shook his head repeatedly, "I have heard of Senior Brother's dual cultivation technique, but it may not be suitable for me."

"Senior Brother, it's getting late, shall we hurry to Yanxia Valley? How should we get there?"

Wang Ming smiled and took out a palm-sized iron boat from his storage ring, threw it into the air, and the boat suddenly grew hundreds of times larger, enough to accommodate more than ten people.

"This is my family's flying Law Treasure. We can ride on it to get there."

Chu Ming secretly thought that Wang Ming was indeed well-off to have such a large flying Law Treasure.

Without saying much, everyone boarded the ship and found their seats. Wang Ming commanded the iron boat to fly into the sky.

Chu Ming sat in the back row, with Zhao Mazi and Chen Xiaoman sitting in front of him.

Zhao Mazi had his arm around Chen Xiaoman's shoulder and kept trying to kiss her neck.

Chen Xiaoman seemed somewhat unwilling, "Stop it, Junior Brother Chu is watching from behind."

Chu Ming smiled, "Please feel free, I will pretend I didn't see anything."

Zhao Mazi smirked, "Thank you for understanding, Brother Chu."

Then, he became intimate with Chen Xiaoman, but Chen Xiaoman's face still showed a hint of displeasure.

Chu Ming turned his head and didn't pay much attention to their affectionate behavior. He opened his vision to his home and his original body, quietly watching his junior sister's movements.

At this moment, his junior sister was practicing the Fire Breathing Art in the courtyard, looking very diligent, occasionally wiping the sweat from her forehead.

Seeing his junior sister, a smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Compared to his junior sister, Liu Ling and Chen Xiaoman, he naturally looked down upon these vulgar and superficial fans, especially since they were causing trouble. They couldn't compare to the innocence of his junior sister.

Before long, the iron ship flew over the Yanyun Valley, but the place was shrouded in clouds and mist, making it impossible to see the ground from high above.

After thinking for a while, Wang Ming decided to go down to the ground to search for the one-eyed silver-horned rhinoceros.

Once on the ground, Wang Ming led a group of people to search in the valley.

"It is said that the one-eyed silver-horned rhinoceros has appeared in that dense forest. Let's go there and investigate first," Wang Ming said to the people behind him.

Li Mao walked up to Wang Ming and smirked, "The scenery in Yanyun Valley is really nice, Senior Brother Wang. How about we find a place later to try the effect of the rhino horn fragrance?"

Wang Ming smiled slightly, "That's exactly what I have in mind."

The others also showed expectant eyes and started discussing, except for Chen Xiaoman, who remained indifferent.

Wang Ming looked at Chu Ming behind him, "Oh, if Junior Brother Chu is interested, you can stay and exchange ideas with us."

Chu Ming shook his head repeatedly, "No, Senior Brother Wang. After completing the trial, I will hunt down a Qi Refining fifth-level Demonic Beast and return on my own."

"You guys have fun, I won't participate."

Wang Ming smiled, "That's fine, I won't force you."

"But I will take a part of the rhino horn and give it to Junior Brother. Junior Brother can take it back and use it with your Dao companion. It has endless benefits."

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your generosity," Chu Ming said with a smile and a bow.

Wang Ming was quite generous, offering him some rhino horn. With that, he could try its effects with his junior sister.

Afterwards, the group continued on their way. Chu Ming kept observing the surroundings from near to far using his boundary-crossing ability and occasionally planted a perception plant.

Being cautious while traveling was necessary, although Yanyun Valley wasn't a dangerous place, he still remained vigilant.

But it seemed that there was no danger around now.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a strange roar came from the cliff to the east, accompanied by a hint of pain in the sound.

Wang Ming exclaimed, "That's the roar of the one-eyed silver-horned rhinoceros. Let's go quickly."

He took out the iron ship and let everyone board.

Chu Ming didn't think much and followed suit.

But as he boarded the ship, he continued to observe the distant movements using his boundary-crossing ability.

He hadn't seen that area before, but after crossing the boundary for five li, he could see a giant one-eyed rhinoceros over twenty zhang long battling a group of cultivators.

Judging from the appearance of those cultivators, they seemed to be Independent Cultivators, and their strength was quite good. Several of them were at the Qi Refining seventh or eighth level.

He didn't expect someone to have beaten him to it. Could it be that they were going to fight these Independent Cultivators for the rhino horn?

But it didn't matter to him. He was just here to spectate. If there was any looting to be done, it would be Wang Ming doing it.

These Independent Cultivators probably weren't Wang Ming's match either. He just watched quietly from the side.

At this moment, the iron ship had already started moving and quickly arrived above the battlefield. The people on board saw the scene of the Independent Cultivators fighting the one-eyed rhinoceros below.

Wang Ming took out a golden spear from his storage ring and silently recited an incantation. The golden spear immediately emitted a red light.

Then he threw the spear, and it turned into a red light that pierced through the huge head of the one-eyed silver-horned rhinoceros.

The silver-horned rhinoceros, which was already covered in wounds from the battle with the cultivators, was completely finished off by Wang Ming's strike, and its massive body slowly fell to the ground.

The Independent Cultivators on the ground were also surprised and looked at the people on the iron ship with caution.

Wang Ming piloted the iron ship to the ground, and as he jumped off, he cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Daoists, this rhino horn is of great use to me. I hope you can give it up to me, and I will be very grateful."

A bearded male cultivator from the opposite side stepped forward and angrily pointed his knife at Wang Ming, "Who do you think you are? How dare you snatch the rhino horn from us?"

Wang Ming took two steps forward and smiled, "I am Wang Ming from the Divine Will Sect. I don't know if Fellow Daoist has heard of me."

"If you want to fight for the rhino horn with force, I am willing to accompany you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a masked male cultivator sitting under a nearby tree suddenly sat up and looked in their direction.

There was an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

Huh? Isn't that person dead?

He was lying down before, and when Chu Ming first observed, he didn't pay much attention, thinking that he was a dead person killed by the silver-horned rhinoceros.

Suddenly, the masked male cultivator stood up again and burst into wild laughter, laughing uncontrollably.

"Hahaha, it's actually you, it's actually you! I unexpectedly encountered you here."

Upon hearing this, everyone was surprised.

Who is this person? Do they know him?

Chu Ming had a bad feeling and quickly used his boundary-crossing ability to look under the person's mask.

When he saw the familiar face, he was stunned on the spot.

How...how could he be here?
