Open up and break into another world

“I…” Ji Ye looked at his chest in disbelief, his consciousness rapidly fading into darkness. “I actually died at the hands of a mere Core Formation Realm brat?”

Pfft!

Draw!

The True Dragon Spear emerged, and with just one thrust, Ji Ye died thoroughly.

Without joy or sorrow, Xu Ming collected Ji Ye's storage ring and then hastily dealt with the corpse.

“Little Guai, help me scout out where Ao Xiang is right now.”

Ao Xiang, the instigator of this entire battle, Xu Ming certainly wouldn't let him off!

As for whether Ao Xiang's background was too big, and whether killing him would bring trouble—Xu Ming couldn't worry about that for the time being!

The feud between him and Ao Xiang had reached the point of no return. Even if Xu Ming let Ao Xiang go, Ao Xiang would never let Xu Ming go!—Since that was the case, how could Xu Ming be soft-hearted?

…

A hundred miles away from the Savage Wilderness Sect, in a secluded mountain forest, Ao Xiang stopped to rest briefly.

“I've run wildly for hundreds of miles, and changed directions many times along the way! Now, even I am a little unclear about my exact location. Now, Xu Ming absolutely won't be able to track me down, right!”

Having fled this far, Ao Xiang finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

There was no way around it, Xu Ming was just too terrifying! Even Ji Ye, whose strength was close to the mid-stage Spirit Realm, was beaten into a rout by him; how could Ao Xiang, a mere half-step Spirit Realm cultivator, muster any thoughts of resistance in the face of Xu Ming?

“Hmph! Xu Ming! Just you wait!” Ao Xiang thought resentfully, “Although I really don't want to go find my dad! But, you've forced me to this point, and I really have no other way out… Hmph! When my dad arrives, it will be your death, and the day your Savage Wilderness Sect is destroyed!”

Although Xu Ming had displayed strength approaching the mid-stage Spirit Realm, Ao Xiang dared to assert that in front of his father, Xu Ming was as weak as an ant! In fact, his father wouldn't even need to come personally; just sending out a subordinate would be enough to easily take care of Xu Ming!

“However, my dad will definitely come personally to avenge his grandson!”

Just as Ao Xiang was grinding his teeth in secret, a ghostly voice suddenly echoed in his ear.

“Sect Leader Ao, you run fast! You've slipped out so far all at once, it's really made it hard for me to find you!”

Ao Xiang's expression changed drastically.

A figure like a messenger from hell appeared before him.

“Xu… Xu Ming, how did you find me?” Ao Xiang said, trembling.

Ao Xiang's face became even more livid: “Xu Ming, you can't kill me! I… am not someone you can kill! My dad… my dad…”

Ao Xiang was finally prepared to reveal his background.

“Oh?” Now Xu Ming was a little interested in listening. He was really quite curious about Ao Xiang's origins.

Although he could also directly investigate all of Ao Xiang's details, the Little Guai's price for investigating was as high as tens of thousands of Level 3 Guai Points.

Just to understand Ao Xiang's background required tens of thousands of Level 3 Guai Points, Xu Ming was really a little reluctant.

But this further proved one point: Ao Xiang's origins were definitely extraordinary!

Originally, even if Xu Ming was really reluctant, he still planned to grit his teeth and investigate; after all, when facing an enemy with an amazing background, he couldn't feel at ease without knowing the details. Now that Ao Xiang was going to reveal his family, that was even better.

“My dad… my dad is…” Mentioning his father, Ao Xiang seemed to suddenly gain a lot of confidence, and his back straightened a lot. “My dad is Ao Wanya!”

“Ao Wanya?” Xu Ming looked surprised.

“That's right!” Ao Xiang's back was ramrod straight. “How about it, are you scared now?”

Xu Ming asked, “Who is Ao Wanya?”

Ao Xiang staggered: “You've never even heard of my dad's name!?”

“What kind of green onion is he? Why would I have heard of him?” Xu Ming said disdainfully.

“You… you…” Ao Xiang said indignantly, “Then you should have heard of Wanya Pavilion! My dad is the Pavilion Master of Wanya Pavilion!”

Wanya Pavilion!?

Xu Ming had heard of this force, it was a top-tier Mysterious-rank force on par with Lanting Villa.

It was said that within Wanya Pavilion, experts were as numerous as clouds; even Spirit Realm experts were a dime a dozen, far from being comparable to small forces like the Savage Wilderness Sect!

“Your dad is Ao Wanya, the Pavilion Master of Wanya Pavilion?” Xu Ming was a little incredulous.

However, if this was true, it would very well explain why Ao Xiang had two Spirit Realm experts protecting him.

“Then why aren't you in Wanya Pavilion, but instead created a Hidden Kill Sect?” Xu Ming asked, puzzled.

“I… I…” Ao Xiang was a little ashamed to speak.

Xu Ming quickly thought: “Oh—you're an illegitimate child, right?”

Ao Xiang was ashamed, seemingly feeling that this identity was very embarrassing.

“But even if you're an illegitimate child, with your dad's status, there's no need to throw you outside to fend for yourself!” Xu Ming thought—could it be that this Wanya Pavilion Master Ao Wanya was imposing on the outside, but actually a 'henpecked husband' on the inside?

“Little Guai, help me investigate if what Ao Xiang said is true?”

Directly investigating Ao Xiang's details required tens of thousands of Level 3 Guai Points; but merely investigating whether what Ao Xiang said was true or false didn't cost much.

Immediately, Little Guai responded: “Ao Xiang is indeed the illegitimate son of Wanya Pavilion Master Ao Wanya!”

“It's actually true!” Xu Ming's expression changed slightly.

At this time, Ao Xiang boldly threatened again: “Now that you know my dad's identity, you should understand what the consequences will be if you kill me! I advise you to let me go, that way, it will be good for you and for me!”

“Uh…” Xu Ming pondered for a moment, and asked, “I have a question—if I let you go, will you call your dad and then seek revenge on me?”

Ao Xiang's face changed abruptly, but he repeatedly shook his head: “No! Absolutely not!”

“Phew…” Xu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, “That's good!”

“Then I… can I leave?” Ao Xiang didn't dare to stay by Xu Ming's side for even a moment, and even more didn't dare to foolishly say any more threatening words.

“Yes, please!” Xu Ming said.

Ao Xiang was overjoyed at the sight, and without daring to say another word, he turned and left.

However, Ao Xiang had just turned around…

Pfft!

A long spear instantly pierced through his back.

“You… you…” Ao Xiang's eyes were wide with disbelief, “How could you go back on your word…”

Xu Ming was very calm: “Sorry, I don't trust you!”
