Level Up in Martial World

"Cough, cough, Ancestor..." Lu Zhen looked at Lu Ming with a frown on his face.

"Hahaha," Lu Ming laughed heartily, and Fang Yin also smiled.

"These old men want to make fun of me..." Lu Zhen cursed inwardly; however, he had an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Anyway, when will we go to the inheritance ground now, Ancestor Lu?" he said respectfully, changing the topic quickly.

When they heard this, they had a difficult expression on their faces.

"Lu Zhen, we need to establish absolute dominance in these if we want to monopolise the inheritance ground now."

"Eh, why?"

"Did you see their symbol embroidered on them?" Lu Ming pointed at the corpse of Liao Mao.

"Yes."

"We didn't attack them ourselves because of this reason."

Lu Zhen's confusion grew when he heard this. "What do you mean, Ancestor Lu?"

"You see, when we attack, whether we want it or not, even a strand of our intent goes into our attack, making even our simple attack terrifying to an extraordinary degree that no lower-stage martial artist could compete with. But that is also our weakness."

"The symbol you see is Fang Ting Sect, which is also one of the supreme sects in the world with at least a peak first-stage martial artist and countless lower first-stage martial artists. If we attack their disciples, they will instantly know because of our intent and can even easily track us."

"But, Ancestor Lu, can't we dispose of his body so that they couldn't find out?" Lu Zhen said with a frown on his face.

"No, we can't, as they have a secret artefact in all their disciples, which sends a signal as per sensing our intent and would instantly send it to the other side," Lu Ming explained with an unconvinced expression.

"If I can kill a first-stage martial artist like a bug when I am just a high first-stage martial artist, imagine what those peak-tier could do," Fang Yin added, explaining the situation. "And besides, there is not only a peak first-stage martial artist; there should be at least two high first-stage martial artists as well just like me if they need to be classified as a super sect in the world."

Lu Zhen's eyes widened when he heard this.

"So, we have to tread this path carefully from now on. Got it, Lu Zhen? First, dispose of this body. Although they will eventually find out, we need to find a possible safe haven before they could discover us."

Lu Zhen had a frown on his face as he nodded with a serious expression.

Although he had gotten some details about the outside world from Shang Luo, he didn't truly know the power structure of the world because she was mostly ignorant of these things.

When Lu Zhen asked why, it was because she lived in her house most of the time, cultivating.

Since her father was a high-ranking member, they were relatively well off, so she was given all the resources she wanted. Although she could access that information, she had no interest in it.

"Lu Zhen, are you sure you could control the girl?" Lu Ming asked after thinking for a moment.

"Yes," Lu Zhen nodded his head confidently.

"Well, then we could delay them even longer until we can set a firm rule here in the Phoenix Kingdom and disguise the entire inheritance cave first. We must be quick at it too…'' Lu Ming frowned as he touched his temples. "I am getting too old."

"Hey hey, you aren't that old. I am older than you," Fang Yin said with a bitter smile.

"But you are two small realms higher than me."

"Oh, true," a smirk appeared on his face.

"You…" Lu Ming was speechless.

"Well, I agree with what you are saying. Hahaha, Lu Ming," Fang Yin laughed.

"Well then, let's go now," he casually opened a small crack as the Nihilith Realm opened.

The reason they had to travel to these places by flying but could go back by simply opening the Nihilith Realm was that these places weren't marked by their intent. Even if they were, who could tell their location, since only Lu Zhen could thinly locate their source.

"Alright, we are going, Jiang Xue," Lu Zhen looked at her, who was strangely standing still with a blush on her face and an obedient expression.

"Time walks so fast; the previous icy woman has now somehow become so obedient like a little girl. I guess life does give people a harsh slap to wake them up to reality..." Lu Zhen mused to himself.

"Let's go."

"Yes, young master." Jiang Xue nodded her head as they entered the void.

Lu Ming casually erected a barrier surrounding her as they travelled the Nihilith dimension, a pitch darkness with no end in sight.

Finally, Lu Zhen returned to the familiar simple yet luxurious room again.

"Greetings, lady." Lu Zhen greeted the black-haired lady who wore a Japanese kimono.

The lady also nodded her head and smiled at him.

"Let her stay in your palace for now, Lu Zhen. We will first take control of the entire town," Lu Ming said as the two vanished in thin air.

"Welp, it's nice to be back home," he casually stretched his body as he exited the palace of the ancestor, with Jiang Xue following behind him.

"So, what does Miss Xue really want to do?"

"I want to marr…"

"I will give you some time to think about it for a day and give me your final answer till then." Lu Zhen walked around, seeing the reverent gazes of the servants.

"Isn't that the young master?"

"I heard he fought in the war like a dashing hero and killed millions of enemy soldiers, slaying the commander of the army effortlessly."

"He also killed the ancestors of the Xia and Huang family from what I heard with a simple slash of his saber, leaving countless corpses with just a simple swing of his saber." Their gaze was filled with reverence.
