Chapter 1439: with translation of chapter title

Ming, in the coming several days, you will here assassinate the Changsheng Sect's Dao Xu realm cultivators. No problem, we will protect you.

The Black Rock Elder is now extremely happy.

Back when their Abyss lineage was at its peak, they could kill whoever they pleased and do whatever they wanted—why bother groveling for others' favor?

However, after this discussion at the Wan Shou Pavilion, the Abyss lineage internally resolved to be tougher from now on.

Otherwise they will only decline further, eventually having no chance to return to the Black Obsidian Star Domain.

The Black Obsidian Star Domain is their Gu Clan's main base in the Chaotic Star Sea.

The Butterfly Moon Ancestor repeatedly sealed these Gu Clan intruders who had charged into the Reverse Flow River; after their descent, part remained at the Threefold Heaven Gate, another part occupied the Black Obsidian Star Domain, and then they continued invading other star domains.

Thinking of this, the Black Rock Elder couldn't help but sigh, 'Back then the Changsheng Sect begged to cooperate with our Gu Clan; now that my Abyss lineage has declined, they want to ride on our heads—how absurd!'

Xuanji Holy Lord's beautiful eyes flickered, as if two clusters of dark flames were burning; she clenched her jade hand into a fist, 'Reforge the Gu Clan's glory—we have no choice but to do it!'

Good! Good! Good!

The Black Rock Elder also seemed ignited; the resentment that had built up in his chest for a long time was released at this moment.

He flicked his sleeve, and an ancient jade slip flew toward Xuanji Holy Lord.

Ming, this contains my insights on the Abyss Dao; you can contemplate it.

Xuanji Holy Lord received it, gave a slight bow, 'Thank you, Elder.'

Over the next few days, Xuanji Holy Lord both contemplated the Abyss Dao and hunted down members of the Changsheng Sect.

Whether it be the Ascending Cloud Sword Sect, the Xu family, or even the Gu Clan, anyone below the Dao Lord realm is her prey.

As Xuanji Holy Lord killed more and more, the Changsheng Sect could no longer bear it and directly ordered those below the Dao Lord realm to temporarily avoid her edge.

Boom—boom!

Xuanji Holy Lord sat cross-legged Above the Void; her Gu Dao Resonance grew ever richer, and around her the Abyss phenomena became ever more gloomy and deathly still, causing the distant Ascending Cloud Sword Sect disciples to grow increasingly alarmed.

Having obtained the Black Rock Elder's insight jade slip, Xuanji Holy Lord integrated it into her own Dao Resonance.

Plus Lu Xuan occasionally gave pointers, her Gu Dao proficiency rose at breakneck speed!

However, she has not yet unleashed the Dao Resonance of the Vein of Eclipse and the Vein of the Nether.

It's already impressive enough; no need to reveal these trump cards, and besides, the vicinity of the Stellar Void Ancient Mine is occupied by the Abyss lineage, which lacks the Eclipse and Nether Veins.

She learned from the Black Rock Elder that the Eclipse and Nether Veins have also declined.

She thought that perhaps when the time ripens, she will also reveal her talent in the Eclipse and Nether Veins.

As the saying goes, if one does not cry, then one does not; once one cries, it will astonish everyone.

Know that previously the Gu Palace Eight Veins were destroyed, but she obtained all their foundations; now her mastery in those eight veins has already reached the first-star Dao Lord level.

During these days of her cultivation, several Dao Lord–level prodigies of the Gu Clan led by Luo Ming actually tried to recruit her.

But they were all ignored by her.

As long as she refines the Stellar Void Ancient Mine, she will inevitably enter the Dao Lord realm.

Luo Ming and the like—she didn't even put them in her eyes.

After another two days, the fissures in the Stellar Void Ancient Mine grew larger and larger; several Gu Clan Dao Solid realm elders descended, preparing to open the mine together with the strong ones of the Changsheng Sect.

Xuanji Holy Lord and the others were instead taken back to the Abyss lineage's encampment.

She was assigned to a dark, gloomy mountain ridge where the eerie power was strong.

Lu Xuan and Yang Xuan also stepped into the mountain ridge, awaiting the opening of the Stellar Void Ancient Mine.

Now Xuanji Holy Lord has truly earned the title of the foremost Dao Void realm cultivator of the Abyss lineage.

However, Luo Ming and the others are still trying to recruit Xuanji Holy Lord.

Night fell.

On Luo Ming's mountain ridge, he wore a black robe, his aura deep and solemn, playing with a black jade stone in his hand, 'This Ming has decent potential; if I take him as a subordinate, once he rises in the future he will surely become a great aid of mine. What do you think?'

Below him stood several Dao Void realm subordinates, all nodding, 'This woman's talent is indeed stunning; if the lord takes her into his retinue, his power will surely surge.'

Luo Ming pondered, 'This Ming comes from within the seal; I don't know if there are any guardians behind her.'

Several subordinates said, 'Even if there are guardians, they haven't dared to show up for so many days; they must not be strong.'

Luo Ming's face curled with a faint cold smile, 'Then let's start with courtesy before force; Mu Tuo, take the spatial ring and go to Ming's cave dwelling once more. As a prodigy, I'll give her full face.'

Hiss!

A black spatial ring flew out and was caught by a black-robed Gu Clan member.

Soon, Mu Tuo, bearing the spatial ring, stepped into the void and rose.

In his heart he gave a cold snort, 'This Ming is merely a Dao Void cultivator; in terms of bloodline, Lord Luo Ming's bloodline is also high—right now he's just a fledgling, not yet ready to stand on his own. I hope he doesn't spurn kindness.'

Boom!

Mu Tuo landed before Xuanji Holy Lord's cave dwelling, gave a dry cough, 'Ming, I come in the name of Lord Luo Ming to invite you. Lord Luo Ming has bestowed upon you some cultivation resources; Lord Luo Ming said, if you follow him, you can avoid a thousand years of detours...'

Before he finished speaking, Xuanji Holy Lord's figure appeared at the cave mouth, she asked, 'Where is Lord Luo Ming's cave dwelling?'

Mu Tuo instinctively pointed in a direction.

His heart leapt with joy.

This Ming has finally opened his apertures; is he going to submit to Lord Luo Ming?

But the next instant, a strand of Xuanji Holy Lord's white hair suddenly shot forth.

Sizzle!

A blood hole appeared directly on Mu Tuo's brow.

Instant kill!

Xuanji Holy Lord's jade palm struck the void, sending Mu Tuo's corpse flying toward Luo Ming's cave dwelling.

Boom!

Mu Tuo's corpse fell straight from the heavens, landing before Luo Ming's cave dwelling.

The tremendous rumbling sound attracted the attention of the other monsters and elders.

Everyone was stunned.

This Ming still refuses to give face to these Dao Lord realm cultivators.

As always, so unyielding!

Luo Ming is also a heaven-defying monster of the Deep Abyss lineage, his bloodline extremely pure.

Inside the cave dwelling, several of his subordinates carried back the corpse of Mu Tuo, their faces ferocious: "Lord Luo Ming, go over and seize Ming directly; this woman is too over the top."

Luo Ming didn't get angry but laughed, "Give her another chance. You go."

He pointed at another gray-robed man and said.

The gray-robed man nodded, immediately rose into the air, and arrived before the cave dwelling of the Xuanji Holy Lord.

"Ming, Lord Luo Ming has already given you plenty of face; if you don't know what's good for you, then..."

Before he could finish, the Xuanji Holy Lord struck out with a palm.

A terrifying, unparalleled power, like the vast sea pouring down, a huge palm print directly struck the gray-robed man.

With a boom, he was blasted away, his life force extinguished, his corpse falling onto Luo Ming's mountain range.

Heaven and earth rumbled!

Seeing this, many elders were stunned.

No wonder it's Ming!

This is a blatant slap in the face to Luo Ming!

"Hahahaha!"

A peal of wild laughter came from Luo Ming's cave dwelling; he finally rose to his feet, a savage grin on his face, shot straight up into the sky, a black divine rainbow beneath his feet, rushing toward the Xuanji Holy Lord's cave dwelling: "Ming, don't fucking give face and then refuse it!"
