Open up and break into another world

Xu Ming quietly concealed himself, squatting and guarding the entrance to the treasure vault. He remained in this position for three days.

“Do the people of the Hidden Kill Sect not come to the treasure vault?”

In three days, Xu Ming hadn’t seen a single person enter the treasure vault.

With no one opening the treasure vault, Xu Ming naturally couldn't tail them inside; he could only continue to wait foolishly at the entrance.

This inevitably made Xu Ming a little anxious: “Although the Sect Master said he would try to delay it as long as possible, there's no telling exactly how long that will be… What if I haven't moved the treasure vault yet, and the war between the Hidden Kill Sect and the Wild Desolation Sect breaks out…

After three days without anyone opening the treasure vault, Xu Ming felt that he couldn't wait any longer and had to take some action. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a tragedy if he waited another three days and still gained nothing?

“Let's go!”

The look in Xu Ming's eyes as he looked at Ao Xiang inevitably carried a hint of hatred.

“Little Cheat, help me investigate him!” Xu Ming asked.

The investigation results quickly returned: “Ao Xiang, Hidden Kill Sect Master, cultivation at 'Half-Step Spirit Realm,' profound realm…”

“Half-Step Spirit Realm…”

Xu Ming had a relatively rational understanding of his own strength.

If he activated the Level 10 "Three Cheats Package" and stimulated all nine drops of "Mist Rain Power," he should have roughly the strength of a normal Core Formation Completion. If he used the sealed version of the True Dragon Spear, then his strength would be on another level, estimated to be unmatched among Core Formation Completion cultivators!

However, facing an opponent at the Half-Step Spirit Realm… To be honest, Xu Ming didn't have much confidence, after all, he had never fought an opponent of this level before; moreover, Little Cheat's investigation results specifically added the phrase "profound realm," indicating that Ao Xiang was not easy to deal with!

“If I were to completely解除 the seal on the True Dragon Spear, then dealing with him would naturally be no problem! However, treasures like the True Dragon Spear should not be used unless absolutely necessary, to avoid unnecessary complications…”

The grade of the True Dragon Spear was only High-Grade Spiritual Tool; however, because it had a weapon spirit, it was a hundred times more valuable than ordinary High-Grade Spiritual Tools!

Once this kind of treasure was exposed, let alone Yellow-Grade forces, even Profound-Grade forces would shamelessly come to snatch it. In that case, it would undoubtedly be an insurmountable disaster for Xu Ming and the Wild Desolation Sect!

Therefore…

The True Dragon Spear should either not be used; once used, there must not be the slightest possibility of exposure!

After all, the consequences of exposing the True Dragon Spear were too serious, and Xu Ming didn't dare to take this risk! Even the sealed True Dragon Spear, Xu Ming would avoid using if possible.

“Little Cheat, if I go all out and launch a sneak attack on him, what are my chances of winning?” Xu Ming asked.

Little Cheat said: “Without using the True Dragon Spear, less than 10% chance of winning!”

“Less than 10%!?” Xu Ming was speechless, “I'm going, what's the point of fighting! Not fighting!”

However, Xu Ming wasn't anxious; even if he couldn't beat Ao Xiang now, would he still worry about not being able to beat him after moving the Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault?

“Endure for now! I'll deal with him later!” Xu Ming thought, then secretly followed behind Ao Xiang, wanting to see what he was going to do.

Following Ao Xiang, after making a few turns, Xu Ming finally knew what Ao Xiang was going to do.

“So he's going to find his son!”

Ao Tian, the Hidden Kill Sect's Young Sect Master, was also the only son of the Hidden Kill Sect Master, Ao Xiang.

Looking at the handsome young man before him, the corners of Xu Ming's mouth couldn't help but curl into a cold sneer: “So this is Ao Tian…”

Xu Ming's eyes rolled around, wondering if he could make something of Ao Tian.

“Father, why have you come?” Ao Tian was a little puzzled. Usually, his father would send him a message if he had something to say, so why did he come to find him in person today?

Ao Xiang pulled up a stool and sat down, saying: “It's been a long time since we father and son had a good chat. I have some free time today, so I came to have a heart-to-heart with you.”

Although Ao Tian was unruly and rebellious, he also pulled up a stool and sat down obediently in front of his father: “Father, you speak.”

Ao Xiang went straight to the point: “You really want to get that Gu Hanmo?”

Gu Hanmo?

Hearing these three words, Xu Ming's eyes sharpened.

Especially when Ao Xiang said—you really want to get that Gu Hanmo?

In Xu Ming's heart, a surge of killing intent couldn't help but rise. Fortunately, the killing intent was forcibly suppressed by him and didn't erupt.

Xu Ming coldly watched Ao Tian, to see what he would say.

“Father, it's not like you don't know, I, your son, have no interest in money, power, or martial arts… My only interest is in women!” A trace of greedy perversion flashed in Ao Tian's eyes, “Although I have collected hundreds of top-quality women, there isn't a single woman who is as top-quality as Gu Hanmo; nor is there any woman who can make my soul so captivated like Gu Hanmo…”

The more Xu Ming listened, the colder his eyes became.

This Ao Tian not only wanted to get Gu Hanmo but also wanted to treat Gu Hanmo as his collection, his plaything.

“If I could get Gu Hanmo, I would be willing to trade all the top-quality women I've collected! If I can't get Gu Hanmo, I will never be reconciled… Never be reconciled!!!” As Ao Tian spoke, his expression became ferocious.

Ao Xiang listened expressionlessly.

“Father, you can definitely help me get her, right?” Ao Tian's eyes suddenly stared hotly at his father.

“It's not easy…” Ao Xiang frowned slightly, “If we want to get her, I'm afraid we'll have to completely break ties with Gu Kongshan!”

“Just break ties then!” Ao Tian said indifferently, “Are we, the Hidden Kill Sect, afraid of their Wild Desolation Sect? Father, you only need to lead half of the elders to easily sweep through the Wild Desolation Sect! Moreover… Didn't you say, Father, that you have already planted a hidden line in the Wild Desolation Sect? When the time comes, with internal and external cooperation, wouldn't the mere Wild Desolation Sect be easily captured?”

“Alas!” Ao Xiang couldn't help but silently shake his head.

He had been too doting on his son, which had led to him developing such a spoiled personality.

“Destroy the Wild Desolation Sect?” Ao Xiang thought to himself, “Although our Hidden Kill Sect is powerful, is the Wild Desolation Sect made of paper? Is Gu Kongshan made of paper?…”

His son was too obsessed with women, and he had even lost his mind!

A father knows his son best, and Ao Xiang knew that if his son couldn't get Gu Hanmo, he would never give up!

“Father, you must speed things up!” Ao Tian said, “I heard from the informant that Gu Hanmo has been very close to a kid named Xu Ming in the Wild Desolation Sect recently. If that Xu Ming gets there first, I'll regret it for the rest of my life! I'll never be happy again!”

Ao Xiang was silent for a long time before saying: “Don't worry, I have long wanted to destroy the Wild Desolation Sect; I feel that the time is almost ripe! Just wait a little longer, when the time is completely ripe, I will attack the Wild Desolation Sect…”

“That's good, that's good!” Ao Tian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, “Father, you must help me capture Gu Hanmo alive! Capture her alive and unharmed!”

As he spoke, Ao Tian had completely gone crazy: “That's right, that's right, Father, you must do it as soon as possible! I'm afraid that if it's too late and Xu Ming gets there first, I'll regret it too much!”

“Don't worry!” Ao Xiang slowly stood up and said, “I came to find you today to tell you to prepare yourself, in the coming days… we will send troops to the Wild Desolation Sect!”

I really had something to do this morning and couldn't get away, so the first chapter was very late. As an apology, I will stay up late to write another chapter tonight, sorry!
