Loyal Heart Roaming the Skies
Chapter 90: Heavenly Azure Cloud Sheep

The murderous miner fell to the ground, his footsteps never stopping.

But all that could be seen was his surging figure, revealing only an excited profile.

With a set of fluid movements and various means of sneak attacks, he, with his cultivation at the Transcendent Realm, instantly killed the Xie family elder of the Soaring Dragon Realm.

It was none other than Hu Shaomeng!

The treasure that appeared at this moment was his long-planned target.

In his early years, he obtained a secret technique called the "Treasure Light Decision," which could detect treasures and gauge their value based on their radiance.

During a chance inspection in the mine, he discovered a treasure hidden deep within the vein, but it had not yet fully matured and was not ready to be revealed.

He had been waiting for such a long time.

There was no need to be anxious while waiting on his own territory.

However, although this place was called the Hu family mine, the true owner was the Zhongxuan family.

If the Zhongxuan family were to give up this place in advance, the Jia City would undoubtedly take over. The treasure would never fall into the hands of Hu Shaomeng.

Therefore, he strictly controlled the timing, personally stole the ore, and made sure that the vein would dry up at the designated time.

It would be best if the Zhongxuan family abandoned the mine and Jia City had not yet taken over when the treasure appeared.

By creating a time difference, he could seize the treasure in one fell swoop.

Half a year ago, someone broke into the mining area. In fact, it was him, the one who was stealing the ore.

Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the cultivator Xie Hao, who was stationed at the mine, and he had to kill him on the spot.

Afterwards, he covered up the truth and framed Xie Hao as a spy sent by the Xie family, blaming them for depleting the vein. This was to deal with any possible inquiries from the Zhongxuan family.

Ge Heng, Zhang Hai, and others believed it to be true, which allowed him to keep it a secret.

All his actions afterwards were for this one purpose.

But he didn't expect the news to leak out and be noticed by Xi Zichu.

Even more unexpectedly, a relatively small Tianqing Stone vein attracted the attention of the Zhongxuan family, who sent such a troublesome guy like Jiang Wang to probe several times but returned empty-handed.

As time went on, things became more and more troublesome.

He decided to overthrow the plan and rearrange his strategy.

Xi Zichu used him, but he was also using Xi Zichu.

They had been competing openly and secretly for so many years, and he knew Xi Zichu too well.

While Xi Zichu was still in Jia City, Jiang Wang was fighting outside the mine with the Pig Bone-Face, he killed the Xie family elder, took the treasure, and then escaped to the nearby archipelago.

The Fishing Sea Tower was proficient in illusion techniques, and Hu Shaomeng was much more professional and concealed than the Xie family elder.

Xi Zichu thought he had succeeded in deceiving Hu Shaomeng and wanted to lure him to Jia City, capture and imprison him, and secretly attract the Pig Bone-Face and Jiang Wang to fight, thus eliminating all competitors in one fell swoop. At the same time, he sent experts from the family to infiltrate the Hu family mine and seize the treasure.

Finally, he would personally take action, join forces with the Xie family elder, and kill the Pig Bone-Face, who was full of evil, giving the people of Jia City justice!

What a perfect script.

But he never expected that Hu Shaomeng himself had long been hiding in the mine, even hiding beside the Xie family elder disguised as a Hu family elder. The one who was competing with him in Jia City was just an illusion controlled remotely with the help of the treasure.

...

Outside the gate of the mining area, Jiang Wang naturally did not miss the treasure light.

He observed his surroundings and noticed that Hu Shaomeng briefly soared into the air and killed a Transcendent cultivator.

Immediately, he shouted, "Su Xiuhang, Zhu Biqiong, go and stop Hu Shaomeng. Leave this to me!"

The Pig Bone-Face was in a state of rage but had not lost his sanity.

All he could see were flowers, but his other senses were unaffected.

Upon hearing this voice, he immediately turned his head and stomped towards Jiang Wang in the sea of flowers.

He was tall and took only a few steps to approach.

Taking advantage of his lost vision, Jiang Wang deliberately gathered several vine snakes to entangle him, acting as a "tripwire."

But the enormous Pig Bone-Face directly broke the vines with a powerful force.

In this state, the Pig Bone-Face's physical body was as strong as his White Bone Dharma Form, and he was incredibly powerful, not feeling any pain.

The flame flowers hidden among the illusionary flowers were either scattered by his slap or directly absorbed by him, even if they were burnt to a charred mass of flesh, it was nothing special.

One step was equivalent to three ordinary steps, and he was already close to Jiang Wang in an instant.

Under the sunny sky, within the sea of flowers, darkness descended.

And in front of Jiang Wang, the vine snakes entwined to form a barrier, and a huge flower bloomed with a gaping mouth.

The vine snakes entwined the barrier and grafted the feeding flower.

At the same time, the sea of flowers transformed.

In the Pig Bone-Face's field of vision, countless feeding flowers and countless giant mouths were biting and devouring.

Snap!

However, he accurately grabbed the only real flower, grabbing the upper and lower ends of the feeding flower's giant mouth, and tore it gently.

Wooden sap splattered.

The feeding flower disintegrated, and the vine snakes entwined the barrier collapsed.

But in front of him, Jiang Wang was nowhere to be seen.

Where was he?

That annoying but cunning little bug, the detestable but delicious man from Zhuangguo.

"Roar!"

The Pig Bone-Face let out a beastly roar.

Opening his mouth suddenly, a huge mouth split open, revealing sharp fangs, and a foul stench surged forth.

This was a true blood basin.

Compared to the "mouth" of the feeding flower, it was like a cherry mouth.

And when he opened his huge mouth, he suddenly inhaled!

The power of gluttony erupted.

A tremendous suction force burst forth.

Zhang Hai, who had already retreated to a distance, suddenly felt his body lighten and took a few steps forward. He hurriedly grabbed the pillar of the mine gate to temporarily stabilize his figure.

Even more terrifyingly, the environment shrouded in the mirage pearl-empowered sea of flowers shattered with a slight sway.

This kind of suction force even affected the Dao techniques, being directly sucked away.

And what kind of pressure would Jiang Wang, who was facing the power of gluttony head-on, experience?

...

Compared to the corner of the mining area where everyone had gathered, in fact, the mine gate was closer to the collapsing mine tunnel.

But when Jiang Wang gave the order, Su Xiuhang and Zhu Biqiong immediately rushed forward.

Of course, they were not acting out of loyalty to Jiang Wang.Although Su Xiuxing's life was in the hands of others, his thoughts were fixated on the treasure.

Zhu Biqiong, on the other hand, harbored resentment towards Hu Shaomeng. She was convinced that Hu Shaomeng's vile character was the root cause of her sister Zhu Suyao's drastic change in personality and eventual death in the Heavenly Mansion Secret Realm.

In the direction of the mine.

Clip-clop, clip-clop.

The soft sound of hooves.

A jade-like green sheep, seemingly stepping out from the depths of the earth, walked out from the depths of the mine.

At first glance, one could not bear to let it go, desiring to claim it as their own.

From afar, Shuanzi's eyes widened in disbelief.

A sheep had actually walked out of the mine!

What the miner said was true!

He finally understood the reason behind Hu Shaomeng's murder that night.

So this was the secret that Hu Shaomeng wanted to hide.

What he didn't know was that what the miner saw that night was just a projection, the treasure had not yet fully matured.

Since then, the nearby mines were shut down by Hu Shaomeng under various pretexts.

This treasure was known as the Heavenly Azure Cloud Sheep, the spirit of the Heavenly Azure Stone. Out of ten thousand veins of Heavenly Azure Stone, it was rare to produce a single stone spirit. It was an extremely precious treasure of the Wood Path.

Hu Shaomeng was willing to give up the opportunity for the Hu family to develop under the protection of the Zhongxuan family for thirty years, which showed its value.

The long-anticipated treasure finally appeared. At this moment, Hu Shaomeng accelerated, taking the initiative to cast a water rope towards the Heavenly Azure Cloud Sheep.

However, a wind blade was seen clamped in his palm, and Su Xiuxing rushed forward.

He reached the Heavenly Azure Cloud Sheep first!

Without his dagger, he directly used the wind blade to cut the water rope.

He reached out to grab the Heavenly Azure Cloud Sheep.

But suddenly, his vision blurred, and the Heavenly Azure Cloud Sheep split into three, making it impossible to tell which one was real.

He grabbed at thin air.

It was a last-minute illusion cast by Hu Shaomeng.

"What kind of lousy assassin? Is the World Tower such a shoddy organization? Where is the credibility?"

The assassin he had paid a hefty sum for not only failed to kill the target but was also used by the target.

Hu Shaomeng rose above the waves, seething with anger.

The world was truly declining, even assassins lacked professional ethics!
