I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 457 Putting the blame on
Lan Xi, who had survived the catastrophe, was also stunned at first, but soon she bent her knees and knelt down in front of Xia Daoming and said, "Lan Xi thanks you for saving my life again..."

"What's the point of being grateful or not? We can talk about it later. Now we have to deal with the battlefield quickly." Xia Daoming said.

"Master, it was Cangyu who died this time. The Chixiao Sect will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cover up and deal with it!" Ji Wufeng said with a wry smile.

"That's not the case. The environment of Saṃsāra Ruins is special, and the Chixiao Sect didn't expect that I was far from being a cultivator in the early stage of the Nascent Soul. They also didn't expect that you would turn against them and dare to be so bold as to attack and kill Cangyu. If you deliberately give them some clues, this matter will most likely not be traced back to us.

You made the same mistake as I did last time, feeling guilty! That's why you think this matter is hard to cover up." Xia Daoming waved his hand, a confident smile on his face.

"Deliberately give them some clues? What clues? Saying that it was done by people from Canglan Palace? No, Canglan Palace doesn't have that strength now!" Ji Wufeng's eyes lit up slightly at first, and then quickly shook his head to deny his idea.

"Lan Xi, when Elder Cangyu was chasing you, did anyone else notice?" Xia Daoming ignored Ji Wufeng and asked Lan Xi instead.

"My benefactor, there shouldn't be any. I have been lurking in this valley recently and was about to leave when I unexpectedly met Cangyu who was patrolling here." Lan Xi replied.

"That's great!" Xia Daoming was overjoyed when he heard that.

He immediately collected Cangyu's body, took out the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner and the Soul-Devouring Ghost Halberd that he had snatched from Youtao a few years ago, and started to wreak havoc on the valley.

Then Xia Daoming thought for a moment and took out the Black Tiger Knife and the Black Dragon Spear, and caused even greater damage to the valley, covering up and erasing the damage caused by the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner and the Soul-Devouring Ghost Halberd.

Then, he took out a wisp of black gas from the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner and squeezed it violently. The black gas turned into hundreds of thousands of wisps that floated in the valley and continued to dissipate.

This wisp of black air was exactly the pure ghost power that Xia Daoming had snatched from the Soul-Falling Abyss's Great Lord Ling Xueming a few years ago.

If this ghost power fell into the hands of ordinary people, they would definitely not be able to deal with it and could only let it continue to disappear between heaven and earth.

But Xia Daoming has the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, and this pure ghost power is a tonic.

Originally, he put it into the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, intending to refine it into the Banner to enhance its power, but later Xia Daoming changed his mind and bound it in the Banner.

Firstly, considering that the power of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner was too great, he would have difficulty controlling it and feared that it would backfire, so he decided not to refine it yet;
Secondly, Xia Daoming considered that a sea yaksha had already sneaked into this area of ​​​​Saha Ruins, and keeping this bit of ghost power might be useful in the future.

As a result, it was actually used today.

"Such pure ghost power! Why is this aura a bit similar to You Tao back then, but it is definitely purer and stronger than You Tao. Could it be..." As he spoke, Ji Wufeng suddenly widened his eyes.

"Yes, it's Ling Xueming's. When I came to Saha Ruins this time, I had a fight with him halfway and intercepted a trace of ghost power." Xia Daoming said.

"Great! Master is really great! Ling Xueming is a person who is about to transcend the tribulation. His strength is considered to be among the top few powerful figures among the late Nascent Soul cultivators.

He has the ability to kill Cangyu, and the news of Youtao's death has not been revealed yet. If the Chixiao Sect misunderstands that the two of them have joined forces, then killing Cangyu will not be a difficult task.

The master deliberately made such an attempt to cover up his mistake, but ended up making things worse. Moreover, Ling Xueming is a well-known blood-eater of the human race. Cangyu is very powerful and will definitely take away all his flesh and blood.

Combining all these clues, it would be hard for the Chixiao Cult not to suspect the Soul-Falling Abyss! "Even though Ji Wufeng had lived to a ripe old age, he was still deeply impressed by Xia Daoming's actions.

As for the beautiful mermaid Lan Xi, who had a relatively simple mind, she was already stunned by what she saw and heard.

Xia Daoming ignored the reactions of the two and used his golden eye ability to look around the valley again. He made some slight adjustments and completely erased all traces left by Lan Xi.

These traces would be difficult to discover in a short period of time if it weren't for the help of the Golden Eyes.

After that, Xia Daoming thought about it and deduced it again. Seeing that there should be no problem, he turned to Ji Wufeng and said, "I think the people from the Chixiao Sect will arrive soon. Lan Xi and I will leave first, and you stay here."

"Yes, sir!" Ji Wufeng bowed.

Lan Xi's delicate body trembled violently, and her eyes showed horror.

It turned out that he had just survived a disaster and was still in shock. Then he was attracted by Xia Daoming's fierce operation. For a moment, Lan Xi did not realize that Ji Wufeng was Xia Daoming's subordinate.

It was not until this moment, when Lan Xi saw Ji Wufeng bowing and accepting orders, calling him "Master", that she suddenly realized that the late Nascent Soul cultivator in front of her was actually the subordinate of her savior, and not an equal cultivator.

In the entire Chixiao Sea, only the Ancestor Huashen is qualified to have a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator under him.

Among cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, the only difference is usually the ranking and the size of the power, and it is almost impossible to be a master-servant relationship.

“The death of the Red-Robed Elder is an extraordinary event. The Red Sky Sect will certainly conduct a large-scale search of this Saha Ruins area. Once you are caught in the act, not only will you be doomed, but we will be doomed as well.

Therefore, I must escort you out of the Saha area immediately. Only when you leave can everyone be safe." After instructing Ji Wufeng, Xia Daoming turned to Lan Xi.

When Ji Wufeng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

If they knew of another way to export it, they could not only secretly transport the pure land they had accumulated over the years and put it in their pockets, but they could also steal the raw ore from remote areas that other strongholds could not reach for the time being.

Their mining method is basically based on the stronghold as the center and gradually expands to the surrounding areas.

Moreover, every area allocated to a stronghold must be fully mined, which may take decades or even hundreds of years.

As long as Xia Daoming does not move the area near the stronghold, with his mining speed, and he acts alone and stealthily without killing or robbing, and if he sets up a formation to cover it up in advance, he can do it without anyone noticing.

Decades later, when they dug into remote areas, the rich mines there had already been mined out. In this way, the problem that they had been helpless to solve before was suddenly solved.

The more he thought about Ji Wufeng, the more excited he became, and the more he admired Xia Daoming.

The master is really brave and resourceful. In such a short time, he has already considered everything!

"Yes, benefactor!" Lan Xi's thoughts were not that complicated. Upon hearing that, she immediately said with a look of gratitude.

"Then let's go now!" Xia Daoming took out a clam from the spirit beast bag.

The clam then released several wisps of mirage gas, which transformed into a tornado of sand similar to the one in the Saha Ruins, and swept the two of them away from the valley.

When Xia Daoming first got the clam, it was still of a low level.

But Xia Daoming is a wealthy man and he spends resources every day.

Now it is already a fourth-level intermediate monster. The changes of the mirage are extremely mysterious, both illusory and real. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator will be fooled if he does not identify it carefully.

Not long after Xia Daoming and Lan Xi left the valley, a red-robed elder and several green-robed elders hurried to the valley.

Seeing the valley in ruins and Cangyu missing, the elders of the Chixiao Sect all looked grim.

The elder questioned Ji Wufeng, and Ji Wufeng said that he also rushed here after hearing the news, but this is what he saw when he arrived.

The elders of the Chixiao Sect looked increasingly grim, and then they quickly separated, each searching the valley carefully for clues.

Ji Wufeng also pretended to follow the search, but his heart was a little worried.

"This is……"

Suddenly, the red-robed elder's face changed slightly, and she raised her hand and threw a rosy handkerchief into the sky.

The handkerchief swelled in the wind, and the glow of the sky was so bright that it actually covered half of the valley.

The handkerchief kept gathering in, like a fishing net.

As the handkerchief was folded, dozens of extremely fine black mists appeared in the sky above the valley, which originally looked gray and no different from other places.

The black gas kept twisting, as if trying to escape from the handkerchief.

But the handkerchief carries an invisible force of spatial binding and compression.

Not only did those dozens of wisps of black gas fail to fly away, but they were condensed together and formed a relatively thick wisp of black gas.

The red-robed elder raised his hand and grabbed the black air from mid-air.

The black gas stretched and twisted in her palm, and an eerie aura continued to dissipate, sinking into the space between heaven and earth and disappearing.

"Hmph, it was indeed done by the old villain Ling Xueming. Only he has the ability to do this!" The red-clothed elder's face turned ashen, with murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Ji Wufeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed at himself secretly.

Sure enough, you have a guilty conscience!

Cangyu is such a powerful figure, even without these evidences, the first person the Chixiao Sect would suspect would definitely be Ling Xueming!

What's more, there is evidence now!
"So it's here!" When the people of the Chixiao Sect thought they had found the murderer, a ball of sand stopped at the edge of a fiery red area.

The fiery red area formed a sharp contrast with the grayness of Saha Ruins. Although it exuded a terrifying temperature, it gave people a dead and gloomy feeling.

"Forbidden Land! I didn't expect that the entrance you Canglan Palace found was actually located at the border of the forbidden land."

The wind and sand disappeared like smoke, Xia Daoming's eyes narrowed slightly, and he blurted out.

Saha Ruins is divided into independent areas by many forbidden places.

It is a forbidden place, extremely dangerous, and no one dares to cross it.

Therefore, to go from one Saha Ruins area to another Saha Ruins area, one can only enter from the outside and cannot cross from the inside.

This also means that every entrance to the outside world is extremely important.

"Yes!" Lan Xi nodded, then hesitated for a moment and said, "My benefactor, please come out with me. This way you will know where the entrance to the outside world is."

"Okay, I just happen to have something I want to know from you." Xia Daoming nodded, without being humble.

Canglan Palace does not have a flying boat with that kind of features, but both of them are very powerful and can withstand the squeezing and tearing of the space in the passage.
