Open up and break into another world

On the other end of the message talisman, Ao Xiang's eyes were bloodshot.

"Someone actually dared to infiltrate the Hidden Kill Sect and even kidnapped my son!!!"

This was simply a provocation against him, Ao Xiang, and an insult to the Hidden Kill Sect's entire defense system—the enemy could easily infiltrate the Hidden Kill Sect's interior and even kidnap the young sect master; wouldn't the Hidden Kill Sect's defenses be as good as nonexistent?

But right now, Ao Xiang couldn't care less about his anger. Because the enemy said that with every breath, he would slap his son once.

Boom!!

Ao Xiang didn't dare to hesitate; his entire being erupted, and he sped towards the treasure vault at full speed.

At the same time, Ao Xiang also sounded the sect-wide alarm: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! There's an enemy at the entrance of the treasure vault!"

"What!?"

The entire Hidden Kill Sect was shocked.

"An enemy actually infiltrated the interior of our Hidden Kill Sect!?"

"Utter disgrace! Hurry, hurry, we must not let him off lightly!"

Guo Haoyan, the "Three-Tier Elder" in a fiery red robe, suddenly opened his eyes from his cultivation. His pupils were fiery red, surging with killing intent.

"Dare to provoke my Hidden Kill Sect? Die!"

Guo Haoyan's figure flashed, transforming into a fiery phantom.

In another part of the Hidden Kill Sect, the black-robed elder "Silent Night" also suddenly opened his eyes, which were filled with cold light. However, his icy eyes closed again: "Since Haoyan has already gone, it's inconsequential whether I, a One-Tier Elder, go or not. Let's just wait and see…"

Ao Xiang's "enemy attack" alarm immediately caused 50% of the elders within the sect to mobilize!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! …

These mobilized elders either rushed to the sect's treasure vault or led Innate Realm cultivators to block off all the sect's exits.

The remaining 50% of the elders remained put, observing the situation to avoid being lured away from their posts.

Boom!!

Ao Xiang was the first to arrive at the sect's treasure vault.

When he arrived, Xu Ming had just slapped his son, Ao Tian, across the face again.

Smack!!

By this time, Ao Tian's face had been beaten beyond recognition.

"You…" Ao Xiang was furious, but when he saw the blade pressed against Ao Tian's neck, he didn't dare to act rashly.

"Yo, you're not slow!" Xu Ming smiled. "I've only slapped him five times, and you're already here!"

"You…" Ao Xiang suppressed his anger. Then, he looked at Xu Ming's face in disbelief. "You… you're Xu Ming!?"

As the Sect Master of the Hidden Kill Sect, Ao Xiang naturally knew about Xu Ming, the number one genius of the Wildlands Sect. After all, if he couldn't even achieve "knowing the enemy," Ao Xiang wouldn't have been able to control the Hidden Kill Sect so well.

It was precisely because he saw that it was Xu Ming that Ao Xiang was even more shocked and couldn't believe it—not long ago, he had threatened Gu Kongshan to hand over Xu Ming; he didn't expect that in just a few days, Xu Ming had actually come to their Hidden Kill Sect and even kidnapped his son…

Ao Xiang stared blankly at Xu Ming holding a knife to his son's neck, finding the scene surreal no matter how he looked at it.

"That's right, I'm Xu Ming!" Even when facing Ao Xiang, who was at the half-step Spirit Realm, Xu Ming showed no fear.

Xu Ming divided his plan to deal with the Hidden Kill Sect into three steps.

First step: Empty the Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault!

Second step: Convert the resources he obtained into his own strength!

Third step: Overpower and crush the Hidden Kill Sect!

And now, Xu Ming was successfully carrying out the most important first step. As long as the first step was completed properly, then the next two steps would be a natural progression; at that time, would Xu Ming even care about a mere half-step Spirit Realm?

"Xu Ming… you have some nerve, daring to come to my Hidden Kill Sect to seek death!" Ao Xiang gritted his teeth; his voice seemed to come from the depths of the Nine Nether Abyss.

Xu Ming chuckled. "I'm not too sure if I have a lot of nerve myself. However, my knife is indeed quite sharp—right, Ao Tian?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Master Xu!" Ao Tian's face was swollen, and his speech was somewhat slurred.

Ao Xiang was both angry and furious. His son was calling a young man who hadn't even come of age "Master" in front of him; how could he not be angry?

"Xu Ming!" Ao Xiang didn't bother with useless words. "Speak, what exactly do you want?"

"What do I want?" Xu Ming chuckled. "Sect Master Ao, didn't I hear that you wanted to capture me? I was very scared, you know? I couldn't just sit and wait for my death, so after thinking it over, I had no choice but to launch a preemptive strike… Hehe, it seems to have worked out quite well; Sect Master Ao, you seem to care a lot about your useless son!"

Useless son!?

Ao Xiang hated others calling his son useless the most; it made him even angrier than if they called him useless.

However, Ao Tian's neck was currently being held hostage by Xu Ming's knife; even if Ao Xiang was furious, he could only suppress it for now.

"Conditions!" Ao Xiang didn't waste any words and said coldly.

In fact, Ao Xiang had already guessed what Xu Ming wanted to do.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! …

While the two were talking, more than a hundred figures quickly arrived at the entrance of the treasure vault from all directions.

The latest novel is at 69shu.com!

More than a hundred people, all of them Core Formation experts, even more than the entire Wildlands Sect combined!

However, when everyone saw the current situation, they immediately didn't dare to act rashly—their Hidden Kill Sect's crown prince, Ao Tian, was being held hostage at knifepoint!

"Sect Master?"

"Sect Master?"

A group of Core Formation experts all looked at Sect Master Ao Xiang, waiting for his command.

Ao Xiang raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet and not to act rashly.

"Conditions?" Xu Ming said faintly, "Let me think about it! Um… how about this, first let me take a look around your treasure vault and see if there's anything that catches my eye!"

Ao Xiang revealed an "I knew it" expression, thinking that he was indeed after the treasure vault!

However, in this way, Ao Xiang was relieved instead—after the treasure vault? So what if you take everything in the entire treasure vault? Once I save my son, I'll see how you leave alive! At that time, wouldn't all the treasures still return to our Hidden Kill Sect's hands?

"What!!!?"

The elders of the Hidden Kill Sect were all indignant.

Not only did Xu Ming infiltrate the Hidden Kill Sect and kidnap the young sect master; now, he was using this as a threat, attempting to rob the Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault!—This was simply slapping the entire Hidden Kill Sect in the face!

"Boy, you're playing with fire!"

"Daring to humiliate my Hidden Kill Sect like this, how many lives do you have to die?"

"Quickly release the young sect master, and we can still give you a quick death!"

Xu Ming glanced disdainfully at the surrounding hundreds of Core Formation experts and sneered: "Ao Xiang, you better tell your subordinates not to be so noisy and to back away a bit! Otherwise, I'm not sure if I'll be so scared that my hand will shake…"

"Hmph!" Ao Xiang snorted coldly, "Xu Ming, I'll give it to you! I can take you into the treasure vault! But, if you dare to harm my son in the slightest, I will make you wish you were dead!"

"As long as you cooperate, I don't need to harm your useless son!" Xu Ming said disdainfully, "But if you try to play any tricks with me, then I can only drag a scapegoat down with me before I die!"

Xu Ming looked like someone who had nothing to lose.

"Hmph!"

Under Ao Xiang's control, the Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault door slowly opened.

Xu Ming's eyes lit up—Hidden Kill Sect's treasure vault, I'm finally here!

Oh dear, I'm a bit late. To show my apology, the day after tomorrow, which is Sunday, there will be an outbreak to compensate everyone.
