Open up and break into another world

Of course, Shao Chuan also wanted to learn from Xu Ming and find a third way out for himself, such as… raising his hand and giving Xu Ming a slap!

But the problem was, did Shao Chuan dare to? Even now, if Xu Ming offered his face for him to slap, he probably wouldn't dare!

Moreover, even if Shao Chuan really dared to slap, he wouldn't have the ability to hit Xu Ming—Xu Ming could dodge with a simple instant teleportation!

Therefore, Shao Chuan could only honestly choose between the "two paths."

Either kneel and beg for mercy, or die!

Die?

Of course, Shao Chuan didn't want to die!

As for kneeling and begging for mercy… how could Shao Chuan bring himself to kneel and beg for mercy from a four-star deity?

Xu Ming watched with a playful smile, not anxious at all—in fact, he'd rather Shao Chuan choose the "path of death" instead of kneeling and begging for mercy.

However, Steward Ge Ting, seeing Shao Chuan dawdling, couldn't help but glare angrily, "Hurry up and choose!!"

The difference in strength between Steward Ge Ting and Shao Chuan was like the difference between a ten-star deity and a one-star deity! With Ge Ting's anger, Shao Chuan immediately felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck, his knees weakened, and he involuntarily knelt before Xu Ming.

"Ming… Brother Ming, I was wrong!" Shao Chuan admitted his mistake while kneeling.

Xu Ming glanced at him, a hint of disdain curling at the corner of his mouth. Such a cowardly enemy was not worthy of being in Xu Ming's eyes, let alone being considered an opponent.

"How boring, let's go!" Xu Ming said, turning to leave.

Zhou Qi and Hong Haojie were completely dumbfounded—Brother Ming was too domineering and majestic!

At this moment, Zhou Qi and the others truly realized how fortunate they were to become Brother Ming's followers!

Now, seeing Xu Ming lift his leg and leave, the two followers naturally followed closely, one on the left and one on the right, afraid that if they were too slow, they would no longer have the opportunity to follow Xu Ming.

Ge Ting glanced at Shao Chuan and said sternly, "All your points in the Yan Yan Divine Mountain will be deducted and transferred to Brother Xu Ming; consider it compensation for offending Brother Xu Ming!"

"Deduct all points…" Shao Chuan felt a sharp pain in his heart.

Points were what Shao Chuan had obtained for contributing to the Divine Mountain. In the Yan Yan Divine Mountain, points were equivalent to currency and could be exchanged for all kinds of treasures.

Shao Chuan had worked hard for tens of thousands of years to accumulate a few thousand points, but now they were all plundered, and he had returned to square one overnight.

Ge Ting ignored Shao Chuan's ugly expression and glared at Qiu Jingfeng and the other Yan Alliance members.

"Yan Alliance?" Ge Ting snorted, "A bunch of rabble dares to form cliques in the Divine Mountain…"

Ge Ting didn't explicitly say how to deal with the Yan Alliance, but the deities present all knew that from now on, there would be no more Yan Alliance within the Yan Yan Divine Mountain!

Afterward, Ge Ting quickly walked to Xu Ming's side and walked side by side with him.

"Brother Xu Ming!" Ge Ting said with a smile via voice transmission, "You are really kind, actually giving that Shao Chuan a way out!"

"I'm just repaying him in his own way!" Xu Ming smiled and said, "Moreover… I've already given him a way out! If he knows what's good for him, this matter will end here; if he doesn't know what's good for him, I don't mind sending him on his way!"

Ge Ting understood the meaning in Xu Ming's words and couldn't help but remind him, "Brother Xu Ming, Shao Chuan is very likely to not know what's good for him, you still need to be a little wary!"

"Thank you!" Xu Ming didn't say much.

How astute was Ge Ting? As soon as he heard it, he understood Xu Ming's meaning; he handed Zhou Qi and Hong Haojie each a letter talisman and said with a smile, "If you two intend to join the Yan Yan Divine Mountain, you can go directly to the inner sect to report with the letter talisman!"

"Inner sect!!" The two took the letter talisman, feeling like they were in a dream.

They had struggled in the four-star Divine Mountain for so many years and couldn't even join the outer sect; but now, just because of a word from Xu Ming, they could go directly to the inner sect to report!

"You guys go first!" Xu Ming said, "Brother Ge Ting and I still have something to talk about!"

"Yes!" Zhou Qi and the others bowed and bid farewell to Xu Ming, hurriedly heading straight for the inner sect.

"Brother Ge Ting, thank you!" Xu Ming said casually with a smile.

"Brother Xu Ming, it's too polite to say that!" Ge Ting said courteously, and then took out a medal made of golden material, which was the Star Badge he had just helped Xu Ming apply for.

"Finally have a Star Badge!" Xu Ming said with emotion.

Ge Ting smiled and said, "If Zhou Qi and Hong Haojie knew that you didn't even have a Star Badge, I don't know how shocked they would be!"

"Haha!" Xu Ming also laughed.

"Brother Xu Ming, now that you have a Star Badge, you can go to the Holy Emperor Hall to accept some tasks; after completing the tasks, you can improve the rank of the Star Badge!" Ge Ting smiled and said, "I don't know much about Brother Xu Ming's strength; however, since Brother Xu Ming is a four-star deity, then you can consider accepting some four-star tasks!—For example, a four-star task, after completing it, you can get a four-star badge!"

Ge Ting really couldn't see through Xu Ming.

However, Ge Ting felt that Xu Ming was just a four-star deity, and even if his strength was strong, it probably wasn't that strong!

As for why Xu Ming could not put Shao Chuan in his eyes, and even slapped Shao Chuan—in Ge Ting's view, it should be that the Yan Yan Divine Emperor had bestowed some treasure on Xu Ming, and it was not Xu Ming's true strength!

"Four-star tasks…" Xu Ming thought for a moment—Xu Ming really wasn't interested in doing such low-level tasks. After all, doing such tasks was just a waste of time for Xu Ming.

After thinking about it, Xu Ming said, "Are there any ten-star tasks?"

Only by completing ten-star tasks and obtaining enough contribution can one obtain a ten-star badge!

And for Xu Ming, the ten-star badge had a very special meaning!—Only by obtaining the ten-star badge would Xu Ming be qualified to enter the Holy Emperor City and find Yin Ran.

The ten-star badge was equivalent to the token between Xu Ming and Yin Ran!

"Ten-star tasks…" Ge Ting looked at Xu Ming strangely and said, "Brother Xu Ming, excuse me for speaking frankly, with your current cultivation, you shouldn't do ten-star tasks!"

"Oh?" Xu Ming asked doubtfully, "Why?"

Ge Ting's eyes became even more strange: "Brother Xu Ming, I know, you should have a 'treasure' bestowed by the Divine Emperor on you, right?—However, treasures are for saving lives; and 'treasures' are priceless, if you consume treasures in any battle, even the Divine Emperor can't afford to squander them, right?"

Treasure?

Xu Ming was even more puzzled—when did Lu Qing bestow any treasure on me?

Xu Ming didn't know that in Ge Ting's eyes, he was actually mainly a "kept man."

Moreover, in Ge Ting's view, Xu Ming, a mere four-star deity, actually wanted to accept a ten-star task, he must be relying on the treasure bestowed on him by the Divine Emperor, so he dared to be so "reckless."

After all, under normal circumstances, a four-star deity accepting a ten-star task was completely an act of courting death!

Thinking of this, Ge Ting couldn't help but look down on Xu Ming a little, this kept man who only knew how to live off women.
