Chapter 16 Above the Steps

Only one Chosen remained on the steps.

He stood silently, unsure what to say.

His pristine white robe was stained with blood, creating a somewhat jarring sight.

Lu Changsheng's voice echoed in his ears, jolting him awake. He fled the spot in utter panic.

At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

Call for backup!

That's right, call for backup.

He knew that a Good Fortune Formation was set up here. Unless the master of Good Fortune appeared, even the strongest Da Luo expert couldn't ignore the formation.

But Lu Changsheng killed his companion with one move. How could he not be terrified?

As he fled, his heart pounded.

They lived in this small world, possessing indescribable resources. At a young age, they had already reached the Transcendence Realm. It wasn't guaranteed that they could all achieve the Da Luo position in the future,

but one out of a hundred would surely step into Da Luo.

They considered themselves to be the Ancient God Clan, lofty and aloof, never interacting with the outside world. Though they had encountered some outsiders throughout the generations,

those outsiders were always respectful, submissive, and awe-struck. No one had ever been as domineering as Lu Changsheng.

Thinking of this, Wang Ming sped up. In the blink of an eye, he passed through a tunnel, and a world appeared.

Here, immortal energy was extraordinary. Immortal mountains soared into the clouds, and immortal palaces stood tall in the firmament. Various rare and exotic beasts appeared in this small world.

This was the Ancient God Realm.

The world he belonged to.

"Something terrible has happened!"

Wang Ming roared, his eyes still filled with terror.

The scene just now was unforgettable and unerasable, which was why he was so shocked.

In an instant, as his voice resounded,

beams of golden light appeared before him.

Within the Ancient God Realm, thousands of Chosen gathered, all looking at Wang Ming, their eyes filled with curiosity.

Soon, however, the Chosen immediately noticed the bloodstains on Wang Ming's body. The confusion in their eyes deepened, accompanied by a hint of anger.

"What happened, Wang Ming? Why are you covered in blood?"

"What's going on? Why are you so flustered? Where are Li Yun and Zhou Ran?"

One Chosen after another appeared. They keenly noticed the bloodstains on Wang Ming's body. Although they had already guessed something, they still asked for confirmation.

"A group of people came from outside. Li Yun, Zhou Ran, they're all dead. Only I survived. They want to see the Great Elder. Li Yun and the others just asked them to leave, but they were forcibly killed."

Wang Ming spoke, initially intending to explain the cause and effect of the matter, but after thinking about it, he chose to conceal a part of it.

In his eyes, Lu Changsheng was definitely not a Good Fortune Realm expert. It was just that Lu Changsheng possessed some treasures that could suppress the Good Fortune Formation, which was why he was able to kill them.

Thinking of this, he spoke in this way, downplaying the important aspects to provoke the anger of this group of Chosen.

As expected, these words greatly changed the expressions of the Chosen.

"Daring to do this?"

"Killing us who possess the bloodline of the Ancient Gods? How dare he kill our people? Is he courting death?"

"Impossible. There is a Good Fortune Formation here. Unless a Good Fortune expert personally arrives, it is impossible to cross the formation and kill people."

The Chosen spoke, some even standing up to say that it was impossible.

"He is not a Good Fortune expert, but he has a treasure that can ignore the Good Fortune Formation."

Wang Ming revealed his speculation, informing everyone.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Soon, someone holding a heavenly halberd said, "Daring to injure the people of my Ancient God Clan, I want to learn from him."

This was a Da Luo Realm Chosen, unafraid of Lu Changsheng, wanting to challenge him.

"Yes, let's go out and fight!"

"Kill them and repay blood with blood."

"We, the Ancient God Clan, are lofty and aloof. Who dares to bully us?"

These Chosen were all brimming with vigor. When they encountered something, their first thought was to fight back, rather than understand the situation.

This wasn't because they were brainless, but because they had stayed in the Ancient God Realm for too long.

Within the Ancient God Realm, apart from normal competitions, they couldn't privately engage in battles. Moreover, they were so young, each of them an exceptional talent.

They were the geniuses among geniuses.

Naturally, when they encountered such a thing, their first reaction was to attack head-on!

Sensing the high morale of the crowd, Wang Ming was overjoyed.

He was naturally saddened by the death of Li Yun and the others, but more than that, he felt humiliated. How could he accept being suppressed by a cultivator of similar age?

He wasn't afraid of Lu Changsheng, because he believed that Lu Changsheng was already a Da Luo Realm cultivator, while he was only a Transcendence Realm cultivator.

Wang Ming felt that Lu Changsheng was bullying the weak with his strength, so he felt more humiliated.

Now, seeing the Chosen so emotionally charged, he naturally became angry as well.

"Senior brothers, let us suppress them together and repay blood with blood."

Wang Ming said.

"Good! Repay blood with blood!"

"Kill him!"

"Let's go!"

The Chosen shouted loudly. They had indeed been stifled in this environment for too long, wanting to go out and fight. Now that they encountered such a thing, they were all extremely excited.

"Is this really the case, Wang Ming? Don't speak carelessly. Is the other party really so unreasonable?"

But someone spoke up, frowning at Wang Ming, thinking that there might be something fishy about this matter.

Hearing this, Wang Ming couldn't help but be stunned.

If no one had asked him, he wouldn't have planned to speak so carefully, but someone had asked, and Wang Ming didn't know how to answer.

He was stunned.

Many Chosen roughly understood what he meant.

But soon,

a cold voice rang out.

"In any case, it is not allowed for outsiders to kill cultivators of our Ancient God Clan."

The voice rang out, immediately drawing a lot of support.

"That's right. The cultivators of our Ancient God Clan must not be humiliated."

"Yes, not be humiliated."

Hearing this, many Chosen scrambled to speak.

And Wang Ming also spoke.

"Li Yun and the others did say some unpleasant things, but the other party was domineering and ruthless, killing them at the slightest disagreement. This is completely unreasonable. We are the descendants of the Ancient Gods, lofty and aloof, born extraordinary. Even if we are wrong, is the crime punishable by death?"

Wang Ming said unconvincingly.

These words made the Chosen nod in agreement.

However, as soon as he finished speaking,

a familiar voice rang out.

"Yes, you are absolutely right."

The voice rang out.

For a moment, all the Chosen were stunned.

In an instant, pairs of eyes turned to look behind Wang Ming.

At this moment, five figures

slowly appeared...
