From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 144 When you're out in the game, you still need a background.
"Ah ah ah..."

"Ouch."

Before You Ming could react, he heard screams all around him. When he looked around, he saw that it seemed to be an empty platform, but all around him were broken houses, floating bridges, and broken eaves embedded in the cracks in the tree cores.

This place resembles a palace complex, nestled within the trees. The annual rings are visible all around, vines hang from the corners, and even the wooden roots on the ground are faintly visible, slowly wriggling.

Before him stood three men covered in blood, one younger and two slightly older.

Their bodies were covered in cuts and jagged wounds. The worst off was an older man whose body had been cut in two. However, cultivators have strong vitality, so he did not die immediately.

"Who are you?"

You Ming frowned and carefully looked around.

Judging from the current situation, these people probably wanted to ambush me, but they didn't expect to cause the collapse of the [Mirror Lake] portal and instead be bombarded by spatial fragments.

The group was breathing heavily. The young man, seeing that the injuries were the least severe, reached into the pouch at his waist, seemingly intending to retrieve something.

"Whoosh."

But the next moment, a line of water appeared out of thin air and swept across his palm.

The man screamed as his hand fell to the ground.

After experiencing the autumn hunt by the King of Zhenshan, You Ming became much more ruthless in his actions.

"You...who are you?"

"Why not...?"

The man cried out in pain, but the water lines that appeared in the void crisscrossed and covered his body, making him feel like he was being pricked by thorns, fearing that the other party might accidentally cut off his head.

"Who else could it be? Yu Xiuying?"

You Ming looked at the other person and suddenly asked.

The man's pupils contracted slightly, and although he didn't speak, he undoubtedly revealed his thoughts.

"Who do you think it is? It turns out to be Zhao Yiru from the Beiming Sect."

Several thoughts raced through You Ming's mind, and then his mind became clear in an instant.

He realized that the letter, ostensibly a love letter, was actually meant to lure Yu Xiuying here. However, Yu Xiuying threw it away without even reading it, while You Ming happened to open a "treasure chest" and find a pile of junk.

The letter was opened as if it were trash.

Although Yu Xiuying didn't come, she did attract You Ming.

"No...don't kill me! I am the son of the leader of the Beiming Sect. If you kill me, my sect will hunt you down in heaven and on earth."

Zhao Yiru looked dejected. Although his talent was not bad, it was not particularly good either. However, as the son of the sect leader, he enjoyed the best resources, but his cultivation level could not be broken through for a long time.

This situation made him feel extremely ashamed.

Nowadays, there is a saying in the Immortal Path: "Five Clouds, Four Heroes, and Three Heroes". His younger sister, Zhao Yingru, is one of the twelve disciples of the Immortal Path. Although she is nearly a hundred years younger than him, her cultivation progress has caught up with his, and she is highly regarded by the sect.

Under immense pressure, he set his sights on Yu Xiuying, who was also one of the twelve disciples.

Hearing that this woman was born with the [Azure Spirit Body], and that dual cultivation with her could lower the bottleneck in cultivation, he decided to use this divine tree as bait and then use the broken immortal mansion formation within the divine tree to imprison her.

Once the deed is done, he will use this opportunity to ask the Xuanxiao Heavenly Sect for a marriage proposal. At that time, he will not only marry a beautiful woman, but his cultivation will also advance rapidly. Let's see who will still look down on him behind his back.

He had a meticulous plan, but somehow things went wrong, and the person who came turned out to be a carp.

However, in this mortal realm, any power must be wary of the Beiming Sect, so he wasn't worried about being killed. If he were killed, the blessing bestowed upon him by the sect would turn into the most vicious curse, and he would be relentlessly hunted down by the Beiming Sect.

You Ming was naturally unaware of Zhao Yiru's various treacherous thoughts; his attention was entirely focused on the words "son of the leader of the Beiming Sect" that the other party mentioned.

Although they had already offended the Beiming Faction once before, it was a fair competition after all, and no one died. As long as they don't meet in private, they won't seek revenge.

But if you kill the son of a sect leader directly, that would be a blood feud.

"In that case..."

"We originally planned to act secretly, but since you insist on getting involved with the background, we have no choice but to go it out in the open."

Looking at Zhao Yiru, You Ming quickly made a decision.

He took out a jade talisman from his waist, flicked his finger, and a golden pattern soared into the sky from the talisman. The entire consciousness space of the Azure Divine Tree seemed to be pierced by this talisman light, emitting a deep, bell-like divine sound.

The next moment, the sky suddenly sank.

A five-colored divine canopy descended from the sky, with thousands of light threads converging into an illusory form. Within the portal, spiritual light cascaded like a waterfall, and auspicious omens surged.

A figure, exquisitely sculpted like jade, appeared.

"Little carp, what do you want? Oh, where are you?"

The Golden Boy God stepped out of the portal, looking around with some curiosity.

"Greetings, Divine Lord."

You Ming bowed and said, "Since you insist on revealing your official background, Zhao Yiru, then let's proceed officially."

I, You, am not some nobody with no background.

He briefly recounted what had happened, explaining that he had accidentally obtained a letter, opened it, and discovered clues about the sacred tree. However, just as he was preparing to transport it away, he was attacked by the Beiming Sect. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and managed to kill his attackers.

You Ming's words were upright and honest, and as for the origin of the love letter and Mirror Lake, these were all trivial details.

However, the fact that your Northern Sea Sect's leader and disciple attempted to assassinate the Heavenly Court's [Fertility Department] is undeniable.

Zhao Yiru lay on the ground, originally thinking about how to heal his injuries or even get revenge after returning home, but when he saw the figure stepping out from the sky full of rosy clouds, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

If I'm not mistaken, did you summon an immortal?
If we're going to compete based on background, then let's compete based on background. What's with this cheating?

Which patriarch has ascended to heaven? Why would he care about your trivial matters in the mortal realm?

Even if he were just the son of a sect leader, it would be impossible for an ordinary sect leader to summon an immortal to descend to the mortal realm.

"Bastard!"

The Golden Boy God's gaze narrowed slightly. Although he usually appeared carefree and jovial, he was, after all, an immortal, and his aura was astonishing when he was enraged.

Now that You Ming has caught the Empress's eye, she is even willing to change his destiny. Go to the Heavenly Realm and ask your old, immortal ancestors if any of them dare to lay a hand on You Ming.

In his anger, the Golden Boy God was about to smash this guy to death.

"My Lord, please wait a moment."

You Ming called out to the Golden Boy God.

Golden Boy God turned to look at You Ming, but the anger on his face remained undiminished.
