Since that woman was in this mountain, it meant that sooner or later, he would run into her.
Putting Metal Element's death aside for now, if that woman knew Wood Element, Fire Element and Earth Element were also dead, the two sides would definitely fight to the death when they met.
Just thinking about it gave him a headache.
Because when facing this woman, he had absolutely no confidence at all.
Under a tree, Lu Benwei was sitting on the ground, bored to death.
"Sigh!"
"So boring!"
He let out a sigh, took out a bead from his clothes and played with it on the ground.
"Bro, don't sigh. Let me perform a show for you to cheer you up."
A centipede crawled out of his sleeve fawningly and said, then stood up its body and started rolling the bead in circles.
"Night Wind, the way you roll that bead looks exactly like a dung beetle rolling a ball of shit. What's there to look at? You should stop embarrassing yourself!" Lu Benwei said shaking his head.
"Bro, I was just trying to entertain you since you looked so bored. If you're still unhappy, you can play with me!" Night Wind the centipede said fawningly.
Lu Benwei glared at Night Wind and said impatiently, "What's the point of playing with you? What I want is a babe, you know what I mean?"
"Alas, I don't even know how long it has been since I last touched a babe."
While the skeleton and the centipede were chatting casually, a figure dashed out of the fog. It was Yun Lang who had been away for a long time.
"Phew, finally found someone. This fog is unusual!"
Yun Lang let out a sigh of relief. He had finished his task long ago but because this fog had blocked his vision and senses, he simply could not find Huang Wujing and the others.
However, when he realized the person he found was Lu Benwei, his face immediately darkened.
"Hey midget, tell me, where is my master?" Yun Lang asked with a cold face.
Lu Benwei glared at him and completely ignored him.
Yun Lang was instantly filled with anger.
Alright you midget, I'll let the incident on the river slide. But now you actually dare to ignore me again? He was truly furious.
Just when he thought about teaching Lu Benwei a lesson while no one else was around, he suddenly noticed a tall figure slowly walking out of the fog ahead.
She was scantily clad with exquisite facial features.
What caught most attention was her silver hair draped over her shoulders like a majestic waterfall.
However, this woman instantly caused Yun Lang's face to change dramatically, as if he had seen a ghost.
He absolutely did not expect to run into this woman here.
"Yun Lang pays his respects to Senior Water Element. I do not know of Senior's presence here. Please forgive Yun Lang for any offense. I will take my leave immediately."
Yun Lang greeted the woman with clasped hands.
He then looked at Lu Benwei, signaling him with his eyes and shouted: "Midget, let's go, come with me quickly!"
But Lu Benwei seemed not to have heard him at all. He stared blankly at the approaching woman, unconsciously murmuring: "What a beautiful babe. I wish I could spend the night with her."
Damn it!
Hearing Lu Benwei's words almost scared Yun Lang's soul out of his body.
At this moment, he wished he could strangle Lu Benwei to death.
The ignorant, arrogant midget! He should have known who he was facing, yet he dared to shamelessly say things like that!
Yun Lang smiled apologetically to the woman with cold sweat all over his forehead, "Senior, I will take him away immediately."
After saying that, he grabbed Lu Benwei's palm, wanting to take him away.
But before he could even take a step, an amused voice came from the woman's mouth.
"You are Huang Wujing's man, aren't you?"
Yun Lang froze in place as if struck by lightning. A bitter smile appeared on his face.
He had thought the woman did not recognize him, so he wanted to take this chance and quickly take Lu Benwei away from this place with him.
But he did not expect that with one sentence, the woman was able to point out his identity.
Considering his master was like fire and water with this woman, there was probably no way he could leave now.
"The Senior indeed has sharp eyes."
Yun Lang simply gave up the idea of running away and turned around with a smile.
But the woman still ignored Yun Lang and stared straight at the bead in Lu Benwei's hand instead.
The reason she appeared here was also because she was attracted by the aura of this bead.
The Demon Emperor's demon core.
And a water-attributed demon core at that.
It was a priceless treasure for her!
"Senior, I don't mind staying, but this midget next to me is just an ordinary human who happened to be traveling together. Could he please be allowed to leave?" Yun Lang said to the woman.
At the same time, he lowered his head and whispered to Lu Benwei, "Midget, I actually still don't like you all that much, but this matter has indeed nothing to do with you. I will try my best to find a way for you to escape. If you manage to get away, go find my master if possible and tell him what happened here. If you can't find my master... just get as far away from this place as you can, and never come back!"
But the woman still ignored Yun Lang.
Her bright eyes were still fixed closely on the demon core in Lu Benwei's hand.
Then, she slowly lifted her flawless long legs and walked towards Lu Benwei.
Seeing this, Yun Lang's face changed. He gritted his teeth and stood in front of Lu Benwei, saying: "Senior, I already said he is just an ordinary human unrelated to the matters between us. Please let him go."
"Noisy."
The woman finally revealed impatience. As her voice fell, a water droplet suddenly materialized out of nowhere and quickly took the shape of a transparent palm.
It fiercely slapped Yun Lang in the face.
In that instant, Yun Lang's eyes widened as he stiffly fell to the ground, foaming at his mouth.
"A useless fool like you wants to have some sort of presence here? And he needs a useless fool like you to help him escape?"
The woman looked at Yun Lang disdainfully before turning her gaze to Lu Benwei, frowning as she asked: "My lord, who might you be?"
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!

A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
