People are in Xianwu, there are small games

Chapter 226 On the wedding day, a happy event turns into a funeral
Three days later, Huang Lanping's wedding day.

Early in the morning, Huangjin Mountain opened its doors to welcome visitors.

The Zhike disciples lined up from the mountain gate to the mountainside.

All sects and people from all walks of life set out from Gold Rush City to Huangjin Mountain. Huangjin Mountain also welcomed all comers and led them up the mountain one after another.

The carriage stopped on the mountainside, and Lu Ming and Zhang Hai stepped out of the carriage one after another.

Looking at the bumpy road up the mountain, I couldn't help but feel that there were indeed many people in the Wu Kingdom, and the reputation of Huangjin Mountain was indeed great.

A disciple from Zhike came, a beautiful young female disciple.

After bowing his hands in a salute, the man smiled and said, "I am Lu Cui, an outer disciple of Xiahuang Jinshan. Do you know the names of the two of you?"

"I'm here, Lu Ming."

"This is Zhang Hai."

Lu Ming and Zhang Hai were both common names, and few people from the Wu Kingdom knew anything about other small countries. Lu Cui thought about it and didn't see the origin of Lu Ming and Zhang Hai. He didn't ask much, just looked sideways. He smiled and said, "Please follow me up the mountain, please."

A wedding day is a great event.

The visitor is a guest, regardless of whether it is a casual meal or an unkind visitor. Huangjin Mountain can afford the meal and can also stop the evil guests.

All the way up the mountain from the mountain road.

The scenery along the way is beautiful and decorated with lanterns and colors.

Big red lanterns are hung from the foot of the mountain to the mountain.

There were dense crowds of people on the way, and from time to time, a fairy flying boat flew overhead and landed on a distant mountain, attracting Lu Ming and Zhang Hai to stop and watch.

Although Huangjinshan is a martial arts sect, a martial arts sect of this strength naturally has the capital to raise some immortals for worship.

The guests in the flying boat were obviously distinguished guests, and there was no need to wander around and climb mountains with "loose people" like Lu Ming.

Lu Ming and Zhang Hai didn't care either.

Until you get close to the mountain gate, you can vaguely see the scenery of the back mountain from a high position.

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"Zhang Hai, look at the mountain peak over there. It looks like a human hand, which is quite strange."

Zhang Hai took advantage of the situation and said: "It is indeed wonderful, and according to a certain family's opinion, the Wuzhi Mountain seems to be a natural martial arts wonder, containing the true meaning of martial arts."

One sentence and one sentence from each other brought out Lu Cui's words.

Of course, this Wuzhi Mountain is not an important thing.

Then Lu Cui chuckled: "Mr. Zhang Hai has a good eye. Wuzhi Mountain is indeed a natural martial arts mountain. The founder of our sect once attained the third level of martial arts in this mountain."

He shook his head and smiled: "But that's all."

Third-grade martial arts would obviously not be a treasure for sects like Huangjinshan.

This also shows that the quality of Wuzhishan is much lower.

Lu Ming asked again: "I think this mountain is quite interesting, but I don't know if I can go into the mountain to have a look?"

Lu Cui simply shook his head: "That's not possible. The back mountain is the residence of the family members of my Huangjinshan disciples. It is not open to the public. Please forgive me."

Lu Ming felt regretful when he heard this, but didn't mention it anymore.

……

Walking into the magnificent arch is like entering the gate of Huangjin Mountain.

The first thing you see is Shanmen Square.

At this moment, the flowing banquet has been laid out, with both hot and cold dishes available, as well as tea and wine.

Looking above, one can see that there are special VIP seats in front of the main hall above. There are about a hundred tables and chairs in the VIP seats. They are sparsely occupied at the moment, and not many VIPs are present.

According to the customs of the Wu Kingdom, the wedding banquet will last for two full days.

The process is not long, but there are many details.

Since the Wu Kingdom values ​​martial arts, during the first day there were competitions and even martial arts lectures by experts.

The lecturer on martial arts is Wu Dou, the great elder of Huangjin Mountain and the other second-grade member of Huangjin Mountain besides Huanglongshan.

The second-level martial arts talk, even if it only covers the surface, is enough to attract some people from the world, or small sects.

The competition is also an opportunity for some young knights who are new to the world to become famous.

In short, the excitement is over.

Lu Ming and Zhang Hai were tasting various Wu Kingdom delicacies while chatting nonsense with others. It soon became clear that martial arts competitions took place at noon and martial arts lectures took place in the evening.

This is not important. What is important is that we have to wait until the ceremony tomorrow so that we can sneak into the back mountain quietly to find the ultimate token, so we hold our temper and wait quietly.

About two hours later, people began to arrive at the VIP table, which also caused a lot of discussion among the knights and knights in the flowing water table below.

"Young leader of the Sihai Gang, Li Zhengwu...a big shot..."

On the surface, there are only seven first-grade Tianyuan in Wu Kingdom.

The rest are the strong ones on the Earth Ranking.

At the age of 25, Li Zhengwu was ranked eighteenth on the list, making him the top 30 people in the entire Wu Kingdom and even the Northwest Territory.

This kind of person naturally carries a lot of weight.

"Look over there, Shi Tiangao."

Shi Tiangao, a member of the royal family, was the thirteenth prince of the current dynasty. He was only 23 years old, but he was already at the third level of strength.

What's more important is that the royal enshrinement standing behind Shi Tiangao - the second grade is undoubtedly listed on the land list.

"That's the people from Yuejian Mountain over there."

"And over there, the head of the Red Cloud Sect, number 85 on the Earth Ranking."

"And over there, even the Immortal Family figures are here. Emperor Yuan Sect, Yuanying Sect, it is said that the sect also has the foundation of the God Transformation level, and it is one of the Dinghai Shenzhen of our Wu Kingdom."

In short, at a rough glance, most of the famous people from Dual Province are here.Even the first-class sects from the royal family or outside the province, and even the Immortal family sects, have people who are trying to save Huangjinshan's face.

There were no less than ten second-level people present.

Lu Ming didn't care much.

It's not forceful, it's just to get something. As long as the operation is good, the risk is not too big.

Around noon, more and sumptuous food and wine were served.

At the same time, the Huangjinshan disciples cleared out the arena.

Elder Youhuang Jinshan shouted loudly, his voice echoing far away.

"The competition has officially begun!"

"Let me, the disciple of Huangjinshan disciple, offer some advice."

As he said this, the third-level warrior from Huangjin Mountain turned to look at the VIP table, respectfully held his hands in his hands, and said with a smile: "Please feel free to comment, your venerables."

Everyone on the stage nodded.

This is part of the ceremonial banquet.

Discussing martial arts in the audience and commenting on the stage can be regarded as a welfare for the guests present, and can also add a bit more excitement, and perhaps even create a good story.

Two disciples of Huangjin Mountain came on stage. They were both direct disciples of Huangjin Mountain. They were both under the age of 25 and both had fourth-level strength. They were obviously outstanding young talents.

One person holds a knife and the other raises a sword. The sky unfolds with light and shadow, and sometimes displays exquisite martial arts, causing the spectators below to exclaim repeatedly. Even some second-class people on the stage nodded slightly, seeming to acknowledge it, but I don’t know if it was from the heart or just to save face. effort.

The discussion between the two Huangjinshan disciples has come to an end.

The two young disciples gained a lot from the comments made by the big guys at the VIP table.

Then more warriors came on stage, all of them from the younger generation, obviously preparing to make a name for themselves on this occasion, or become a stepping stone for others to make a name for themselves.

Lu Ming didn't pay much attention to this. He just tasted the food with Zhang Hai until the trench was filled with food and three or five rounds of competition on the stage had passed.

Suddenly I heard a familiar voice.

It was Li Zhengwu's voice.

"By the way, why don't you meet our hero this time?"

The voice fell into the ears of the elder of the ceremony, and the elder immediately replied.

"Master Jing is taking a shower and changing clothes. He will be here later to toast you all."

According to the rules of Wu Kingdom's wedding banquet, the groom must come out to receive guests on the first day.

Li Zhengwu nodded lightly when he heard this and said no more words.

After waiting for about another stick of incense, another round of competition on the ring passed.

Suddenly there was a noise.

Then they saw a flower path paved at the gate. Under the guidance of several handsome men and beautiful women, a handsome man in red robe walked into the square with a smile on his face.

A clear voice sounded.

"Jingtong, I have met all of you distinguished guests, and I would like to thank you all for your kindness in attending this wedding banquet between me and Lan Ping."

After saying the salute, his face was filled with joy.

……

Jing Tong, an unknown person in the world.

He comes from a small school and is not very strong. At the age of 22, he is only at the fifth level.

Logically speaking, there should not be any intersection between such a person and Huang Lanping, the noble daughter of Huangjin Mountain.

But the matter of marriage cannot stand up to the word fate.

During an experience, Jing Tong and Huang Lanping fell in love at first sight, and they made a private agreement on the spot for life. The rice was cooked, and Huang Longshan was forced to recognize this son-in-law.

But when they met at this moment, everyone felt that Jing Tong seemed to be a good match for Huang Lanping...

First, Jing Tong was very handsome, so handsome that even Lu Ming was slightly inferior.

Secondly, his martial arts strength is not outstanding, but it is a drag from his background. It is said that Jing Tong was born with a bright martial arts body, but his luck was not good, so his strength progressed slowly.

But thinking about it, if I embrace Huangjinshan's thigh, I can probably make a big splash out of the abyss.

The groom came to the VIP table with a happy face and toasted with all the big shots.

The words are appropriate and the actions are appropriate, making it hard to fault.

Until Jing Tong came to Li Zhengwu, Jing Tong was about to say something, but Li Zhengwu suddenly spoke.

"I see that Mr. Jing is kind-hearted, but I wonder if you and I have met before?"

Jing Tong immediately smiled and said: "Maybe a certain parent has a public face. If I have met Mr. Li, I will never forget it in my life."

Li Zhengwu smiled and stopped talking. He just had a drink with Jingtong and watched Jingtong arrive in front of Shi Tiangao.

Just when Jing Tong wanted to say something to Shi Tiangao, Li Zhengwu suddenly spoke again.

"Oh, I know why I feel familiar with you."

After saying that, he stood up in a hurry!
"I can smell the stench of the Cangman Gu Master on you from 500 fucking meters away!"

There was a sudden silence.

Behind Shi Tiangao, the royal minister in black suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Jing Tong's right hand.

All the blood and spiritual energy bloomed and poured into Jingtong's body!
Jing Tong's expression changed!
Such crude probing methods are extremely rude.

If Jing Tong himself had no problems, the relationship between Huangjinshan, the Sihai Gang, and even the royal family would have become significantly colder after this incident.

However, the problem is that there is really something wrong with this Jingtong...

Li Zhengwu and Shi Tiangao were obviously well prepared!

The strange sound of insects suddenly sounded from Jingtong's body.

His body collapsed instantly, turning into moths and flying away from the VIP table in an instant.

However, such an act of escaping is tantamount to playing tricks in front of many second-grade people.

Listen to Li Zhengwu sneer.

"You're just a Foundation Establishment Gu cultivator, how dare you come to our Martial Kingdom to act so recklessly!"

The golden knife flicked behind him and fell into his hand automatically.

Slashing with a long sword seems ordinary and simple, but countless changes occur under the tremor of the blade.

Seemingly simple, yet extremely complex!

There is even more power of martial seal integrated into the sword.

Li Zhengwu shouted loudly.

"die!"

The light of the sword swept across the world.

The dominance is overwhelming and shocking!

Not to mention Jing Tong who turned into a moth, even Lu Ming felt in a daze, unable to even think of a counterattack under his overwhelming power!
The ancestral legacy of the Li family of the Sihai Gang, the Overlord Martial Seal!
A series of tearing sounds fell into everyone's ears.

As the sword light swept across, the scattered moths froze in place and remained motionless. As the sword light fell, each moth began to break apart and turned into a smelly green mucus that filled the sky.

Occasionally, a flash of inspiration occurred, and I don't know what kind of protective spell or magic weapon Jingtong used.

But Gu cultivators are not good at spells or even magic weapons. They follow the path of evil witches and Gu, and there is a big gap in their realms.

As soon as this knife falls, the scenery will be wiped out!

The green juice was like a downpour, falling on the flowing water table, spreading all over the faces of some guests...

But even so, most people still had a look of astonishment on their faces, and they had not recovered from this series of changes at all.

Until Li Zhengwu's voice sounded again.

"Huanglongshan, Wu Dou, come out and see me!"

"Let someone see how many pickled bugs you have hidden in Huangjin Mountain!"

In silence.

Shi Tiangao and Emperor Yuanzong had already stood behind Li Zhengwu.

The Sihai Gang, the Wu Kingdom royal family, and the Emperor Yuan Sect have already united and launched an attack on Huangjin Mountain!
……

"This Wu Kingdom is indeed not a kind place." Seeing all this, Lu Ming sighed and said this.

Zhang Hai next to him smiled slightly: "It's not bad, mainly because Wu Kingdom and Cang Kingdom are about to go to war, and the general environment is really not good."

At this point, what happened in Huangjin Mountain is now clear.

The Cang Kingdom is located in the Southwest Region. It is the largest country in the Southwest Region and borders the Wu Kingdom. The two countries have constant friction and wars.

There are also a lot of small actions between each other - such as this incident at Huangjin Mountain.

The Southwest Region is proficient in the art of witchcraft and Gu. Looking at this matter, one can see that the Cang Kingdom witchcraft and Gu masters, with Jing Tong as the vanguard, quietly took control of Huangjin Mountain, a second-rate martial arts sect.

But Wu Guo is not made of clay.

The Sihai Gang's intelligence network was indeed strong enough that they quickly realized that Huangjin Mountain might be out of control.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they united the royal family and Emperor Yuan Sect to get rid of this poisonous insect.

The logic inside is probably like this.

Lu Ming didn't care much about the details.

Because the changes in Huangjin Mountain at this moment are a good thing for Lu Ming - fight, fight hard!

The more chaotic it is, the easier it is for him to fish in troubled waters.

Suddenly I heard two long whistles.

Two figures shot out from the back mountain in no particular order.

Stopping in the air, everyone looked at them, who were these two people if they weren't Huang Longshan and Wu Dou?

Seeing the real master appear, Li Zhengwu looked domineering with his sword on the ground.

"Get down here and get checked!"

Huanglongshan took the shot without saying a word. His palm was like a big seal and his hand covered the sky!

This move shows the attitude of Huanglong Mountain, and it also proves to what extent today's Huangjin Mountain has been eroded!

Lu Ming turned around and left when he saw this.

"We can't watch this excitement."

After he said this, Zhang Hai echoed.

"Huang Longshan dares to take action against Li Zhengwu and the royal family, which means that he has huge support behind him."

"And what he relies on is not far away from him... There are probably some great masters hiding in the back mountains."

Lu Ming kept walking and continued to add: "I'm afraid this matter is a game within a game. Huang Jinshan deliberately exposed his flaws, attracted Li Zhengwu and some heavyweights, and then killed them all."

Zhang Hai said again: "But I'm afraid Li Zhengwu also has some back-up preparations... Maybe the King of the Four Seas has already arrived near Huangjin Mountain..."

In short, if you think about it this way, it becomes a matryoshka doll game. You need as many layers as you want.

Lu Ming didn't bother to think too much, he just quickly came to the gate of Huangjin Mountain, turned around, and disappeared with Zhang Hai.

Only two faint black lines were left spreading towards Wuzhishan.

……

In the Shanmen Square, Huang Longshan's brazen attack made Li Zhengwu narrow his eyes suddenly.

There was no need for him to take action personally. Behind him, a second-grade sword from the VIP table was slashed out, tearing the wind from his palm.

After all, this place is the territory of Wu Kingdom.

The situation was now clear. Even if they didn't know in advance that Huangjin Mountain was controlled by the Cang Kingdom Gu Master, these strong men from the Wu Kingdom naturally knew what to choose.

So the scene turned into Huang Longshan and Wu Dou facing nearly ten second-grade and pill-forming people.

It seemed that Huanglongshan had completely lost his mind in taking action.

However, from Huang Longshan's calm eyes, we can know that he is indeed prepared for the exposure!

The roar sounded again.

In the direction of the back mountain, more second-grade and alchemy-forming auras rose violently like a volcanic eruption.

And further away, amid the flow of colorful brilliance, a ferocious centipede that is a hundred meters long can be vaguely seen, appearing and disappearing from the void, swaying.

The breath of the centipede made Li Zhengwu purse his lips: "The demonic insect in the early stage of Yuanying..."

Then a fierce smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I caught a big fish."

……

At the foot of the mountain, a burly figure stepped forward.

He has a square but handsome face, wears a golden robe, and shows his domineering presence as he walks like a dragon or a tiger.

Looking closely, his facial features are slightly similar to Li Zhengwu.

It is Li Sihai, the first rank of the Wu Kingdom, the fourth on the Heavenly Ranking, and the leader of the Sihai Gang!

……

Everything that happened in Huangjinshan Mountain Gate Square had nothing to do with Lu Ming.

He hid in the void with Zhang Hai, and it wasn't until the dozen or so auras flying out of the back mountain disappeared that Lu Ming emerged from the void.

"This should be almost done."

We arrived at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain quietly.

Thinking back to the scene he saw in Liang Yulong's dream of life.

Even though hundreds of years have passed and times have changed here, Wuzhi Mountain remains unchanged, as if it has never changed.

After several comparisons, Lu Ming locked the specific location of the ultimate token when the battle at Huangjin Mountain just broke out.

Using his finger as a sword, he slashed out with sword energy, and the earth roared open. A dragon-shaped wooden sculpture flew out from the ground and was pulled into Lu Ming's hand.

After several observations and confirmation that this thing was the ultimate token that Liang Yulong had buried here, Lu Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and lamented that everything went well.

Luck was on Lu Ming's side after all.

This thing has not been taken away for hundreds of years, and the chaos in Huangjin Mountain at this time gave Lu Ming the lingering impression of stealing the chicken.

In short, Lu Ming felt that this was the best outcome since he got the things without any trouble.

After thinking about this, Lu Ming suddenly let out a sigh.

Turning around and looking not far behind him, Lu Ming spoke softly.

"Come out."

The voice fell, and two figures appeared in mottled light and shadow.

The burly man in the head, wearing an open-body animal skin suit, stretched out his hand and spoke in a deep voice in broken Zhou Guo dialect.

"Give me something."

Lu Ming raised his eyebrows, looked at the long knife on the man's back, and slowly narrowed his eyes.

After a while, Lu Ming grinned.

"It turned out that the Huantian Sword fell into the hands of you Cang people..."

……

After Liang Yulong's death, he left behind five treasures. When all five treasures are collected, the specific location of the ultimate token can be obtained.

Dante Invincible used a secret method to make it possible for the five treasures to be gathered together to see the dream of Liang Yulong's life, and thus found the whereabouts of the ultimate token.

At that time, four of the five treasures had appeared, and the whereabouts of the Absolute Token had been revealed, so Lu Ming didn't care much about one of the missing five treasures: the Huantian Sword.

But he never thought that the Huantian Sword would be obtained by someone else, and that this person had outstanding skills and also used the Huantian Sword as a treasure to locate the specific location of the ultimate token.

Without too much communication, you can know its purpose just by looking at the greedy eyes of the Cang people looking at the dragon-shaped wooden sculpture.

But this person’s identity and strength…

Tilting his head, Lu Ming ignored the big man from the Cang Kingdom and looked at the other person behind him.

He was dressed in black, his head covered, and the blood energy fluctuations that occasionally escaped from the third-level realm made Lu Ming vaguely familiar.

Lu Ming soon understood.

"You are from Yu Sha Lou."

This person is good at hiding, and his skills are the same as those of Ding Wudi, but his strength is slightly weaker. He is probably also the deputy owner of a certain Yushalou.

Then he looked at the Cang Kingdom warrior.

"And you, I can't identify you anymore."

Cang Country is too far and too big.

Lu Ming didn't know anything about how many masters there were in the Cang Kingdom, what their surnames were, and what they looked like.

Even this Cangman's aura was so strange that Lu Ming couldn't tell whether this person was a third-grade person or a second-grade person.

Hearing Lu Ming's muttering, the Cang Kingdom warrior grinned.

"My lord, Agumo, don't talk nonsense, give me your things, and I will spare your life."

As he spoke, his right hand touched the handle of the Huantian Sword.

The blood arouses the force of the martial seal, proving its second-grade strength.

Lu Ming just shook his head and smiled.

The next second the sword light rose.

Lu Ming's cold voice rang out from the shadow of the sword.

"Do it quickly."

……

At the moment when the sword light rose, Agumo breathed a sigh of relief.

'It's just the third grade...'

Using his second-level strength to kill a third-level player is undoubtedly easy and satisfying.

With his mind relaxed, Agumo thought of the ultimate token in the man's hand, and felt that the opportunity had arrived for the hidden dragon to emerge from the abyss!
The national conditions of Cang Kingdom are different from those of Wu Kingdom and Zhou Kingdom.

Immortals are revered in the country, while warriors have a low status. Warriors are often hunted and become raw materials for witch and Gu masters to practice evil arts and refine and raise Gu insects.

Agumo has no spiritual roots, so he has no possibility of entering the immortal way. Fortunately, he has outstanding martial arts qualifications and has a certain backing by chance, and he has only reached the second level of strength today.

However, as Agumo reached the second level, he was valued by the Gu God and was taken into his account. A restriction was placed in his body, and he had to work for the Gu God for the rest of his life.

——Most warriors from the Cang Kingdom cannot escape this fateful reincarnation.

In a chance encounter, Agumo got the Huantian Sword, and learned the ultimate secret from the Huantian Sword.

I don’t want to be a slave, I can only resist.

Juebian is one of the few straws that Agumo can grasp.

As long as you enter Juepin and have the protection of a group of first-level big men, even if your Gu God has reached the level of becoming a god, you will not be able to easily offend martial arts forces of this level.

Agumo is determined to get the ultimate token.

Taking advantage of the Huangjin Mountain Incident, he sneaked into Wu Kingdom with King Wucai Centipede and invited his old friend Qiao Quan, the deputy owner of Yusha Building.

Originally, the information about the ultimate token that Agumo obtained from the Huantian Sword had no specific location.

I only know that if you want to find it near Wuzhi Mountain in Huangjin Mountain, although it is not like finding a needle in a haystack, you still have to make a huge noise.

Huanglong Mountain had just launched, and Agumo thought of taking this opportunity to search extensively and get the token first before talking about anything else, but he didn't want to be caught first by others.

"However, just right!"

"You found the ultimate token for me, then I will leave you a complete body!"

Facing the oncoming sword light, Agumo said this.

The Huantian Sword in his hand slashed down vertically, and the sword's light was filled with endless splendor!
Wuyin: Phantom light!
As soon as the power of phantom light comes out, everything becomes blurred.

Lu Ming suddenly felt that everything around him began to distort and change, and everything around him acted out various strange phenomena.

Like falling into an absurd dream.

Agumo's sword power remained unabated and he hooded his head.

Looking at Lu Ming, who had been affected by the power of phantom light, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Use the power of the phantom light martial seal to confuse the enemy.

Once the enemy is hit, they will face the fate of being cut off.

With this combination, Agumo has always been invincible. Although he has never drank second-grade blood, the third-grade warriors who died under the power of his martial seal are quite serious.

Until the harsh friction sound poured into his ears, the huge resistance forced the Huantian Sword to stop on the spot.

Agumo's pupils shrank, and he felt severe pain in his hands. The next second, the Huantian Sword collapsed and turned into iron filings in the sky. The person in front of him had already stepped forward and came to Agumo.

The wind blew first.

Then came the bloody fog.

The sword energy, thinner than an ox hair, penetrated Agumo's body like a spring breeze and drizzle.

In a moment of silence, Agumo disappeared without a trace, leaving only the rain of blood scattered by the wind falling all over the ground.

Invisible sword domain, five stars.

Three feet outside the body, invulnerable to all forces!
The Invisible Sword Chapter of the Supreme Sword Code, four stars.

Even if the sword energy is as subtle as the second level, it cannot be detected or sensed.

With the cooperation of the two magical skills, combined with Lu Ming's background as deep as the ocean, Agumo was crushed to pieces on the spot without any resistance!
On the side, Qiao Quan was stunned on the spot with his breath stagnant.

He never imagined that his old friend Agumo would be killed by a third-grade warrior with one blow!

Before Qiao Quan could make any reaction, a ray of silver light had already struck from a distance and penetrated Qiao Quan's temple.

The power of destruction broke out, Qiao Quan's eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground, his life was completely wiped out.

A quick victory, taking less than five seconds.

"go!"

Taking Zhang Hai and the token, Lu Ming turned and left without saying a word.

(End of this chapter)
