My cultivation method shines upon all heavens.

"The Grand Master of the Way of Peace... Yun Changfeng?"

Lu Ming looked at the person in front of him with a serious expression.

Yun Changfeng's expression was cold and stern as he sized up Lu Ming, the invisible pressure intensifying with his gaze.

Lu Ming's body trembled slightly, his bones creaking as if the force of the heavens was pressing him down to his knees.

But he stood tall and straight, head held high, staring back at the other man, refusing to yield.

"Um?"

Yun Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of surprise appearing on his dignified face:

"You have some nerve... Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Lu Ming frowned, sweat dripping down his chin, and gritted his teeth as he spoke with difficulty:

"Kill me...and then who will wipe out the powerful clans of Yinhu County for you?"

Even in the face of life and death, he remained calm.

Whatever Yun Changfeng wanted to do, he always firmly believed that powerful and influential families were definitely among their targets.

Whether it was the slogans of the Taiping Dao uprising or the turmoil they stirred up across the land, uprooting the foundations of powerful and influential families was something they had always been doing.

In Yinhu County today, although the four powerful clans have suffered heavy losses, they have not been eradicated. Only he can do this now.

After all, Wang Ziru was dead, and Liu Zhiyuan was originally from a prominent family.

Using the Taiping Dao to suppress powerful clans is merely a means to completely control Yinhu County; it will never break the rule of fighting among powerful clans without breaking them.

Upon hearing this, Yun Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly marveling at Lu Ming's quick wit, which was quite different from what he had seen before.

But soon his brows furrowed, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes:

"Even on the verge of death, he's still spouting nonsense!"

Lu Ming was taken aback, and a bitter smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

Clearly, his true intentions had already been thoroughly seen through by the other party.

The other party's words meant not only that his life or death was now hanging by a thread, but also pointed to the six ultimate techniques that were constantly conflicting within his body.

At this moment, thunder roared, demonic blood surged, toads croaked, bears howled, cows mooed, and dragons roared within him…

The six forces were almost in complete chaos, constantly assaulting his body, leaving his seemingly strong physique riddled with holes.

If he hadn't suppressed it so forcefully, he probably would have immediately gone mad with demonic possession.

After cultivating martial arts to the Blood Condensation Realm, the conflicts between martial arts techniques far exceeded his expectations.

He finally understood why those who were most talented and mastered their skills in various realms died the fastest.

That's why he risked showing himself, deliberately luring the other party out.

"Let's make a deal. You will pass on the 'Yellow Heaven Great Law' to me, and I will wipe out the powerful clans of Yinhu County for you. How about it?"

Lu Ming slightly raised his eyes, his voice hoarse:

"After all, I'm practically a disciple of the Way of Peace, aren't I?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Changfeng almost laughed out of anger.

Now you remember that you were a disciple of the Way of Peace?

Why didn't you think of killing Wang Ziru when you were committing treason?

He stared coldly at Lu Ming, his aura suddenly intensifying.

"call--!"

Lu Ming suddenly bent over, panting heavily.

Even with his back bent like a bow stretched to its limit, he still met the other person's gaze without fear.

Yellow mist filled the sky, and the mountain wind howled.

He was as insignificant as a mayfly between heaven and earth, and could be crushed at any moment, yet he stubbornly drifted on, refusing to fall.

After a while, Yun Changfeng lowered his eyes slightly, his imposing aura suddenly vanished, and the strange phenomenon behind him disappeared in an instant.

"Significant skill, commendable courage."

He spoke calmly, "I know you want to obtain the method to encompass the seven realms of ultimate techniques from the *Yellow Heaven Great Law*... I can grant your wish. However..."

He suddenly looked up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:

"I want you to exterminate all the powerful and corrupt officials in Yinhu County, leaving no one alive!"

Lu Ming's slightly relaxed body suddenly tensed, and he looked up in a deep voice:

"To exterminate them all... leaving no one alive?"

Yun Changfeng slammed his bamboo staff down suddenly, his eyes flashing with murderous intent:

"Why...shouldn't it be like this?"

"In chaotic times, ordinary people barely survive while powerful figures live high above, enjoying eternal glory. Shouldn't they be killed?"

"The common people are emaciated, unable to live or die, while the pigs and dogs are fat and bloated. Shouldn't they be killed?"

"The poisonous legacy of these aristocratic families is passed down through generations; if it's not eradicated completely, it will surely revive... Shouldn't we have wiped them all out?"

The questions, like the morning bell and evening drum, relentlessly questioned Lu Ming's soul, carrying an overwhelming killing intent.

"uh-huh!"

Lu Ming groaned and took three steps back, a streak of bright red blood at the corner of his mouth a shocking sight.

With such intense killing intent, he couldn't imagine just how deep the other party's hatred for powerful families and clans truly was.

But... what does this have to do with him!

He suddenly looked up and stared directly into the other person's eyes:

"Alright! But you need to give me a copy of the 'Yellow Heaven Great Law' that you handwritten right now!"

Yun Changfeng was slightly taken aback.

He could understand asking for the "Yellow Heaven Great Law," but why did he insist on having it handwritten?

But he didn't hesitate for long; he simply spoke calmly:

"I'll give it to you after it's done."

Lu Ming narrowed his eyes: "How can I believe... you're not lying to me?"

Yun Changfeng slightly raised his eyes, and suddenly extended his bamboo staff.

Lu Ming's expression changed, and he tried to dodge.

But the image of yellow mist filling the sky behind Ke Yun Changfeng reappeared. Although it was released and then immediately withdrawn, an immense pressure poured down in an instant, making it difficult for him to even move a finger.

A strong wind howled, and the bamboo staff flew through the air. Before he knew it, a yellow talisman had been attached to the tip of the staff and was placed directly on his forehead.

The moment they made contact, the twisted and intertwined cinnabar patterns shone brightly with red light, and then the talisman spontaneously combusted without fire.

Lu Ming's expression changed as he felt a profound and indescribable power suddenly invade his body.

Immediately, the six restless forces within him retreated as if facing a formidable enemy, and the already riddled battlefield suddenly became quiet.

"Well, this calming talisman will ensure your safety before you enter the Zhenfu Realm. Do you see my sincerity?"

Yun Changfeng looked at him calmly, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

Lu Ming bent over, hands on his knees, panting heavily, trying to calm his turbulent emotions.

He looked up at the other person, his expression shifting.

He knew that the other side was both demonstrating sincerity and asserting its military might.

In reality, he had no choice.

"it is good."

Finally, he nodded heavily.

Yun Changfeng remained calm, turned around, and left.

"I expect to see your actions within three days... Once you've succeeded, come find me at Thousand Eyes Mountain."

In the blink of an eye, the person had vanished, leaving only a lingering echo that dissipated with the wind.

Lu Ming watched the other person leave quietly, his expression unreadable.

Even Liu Zhiyuan only wanted him to kill Wang An and completely break the backbone of the powerful clans in Yinhu County.

But Yun Changfeng wanted him to eliminate the threat completely.

Once he has wiped out the four powerful figures, he will have crossed the bottom line of the Da Zhao leadership, at which point he will face great difficulties in Da Zhao.

Even Liu Zhiyuan would discard a donkey after it has served its purpose, using his head to quell the anger of the powerful families.

At that point, his only option will be the Way of Peace.

As for the empty promise of "Huangtian Dafa," he had to collect it himself.

At that time, his life would be in jeopardy in front of Yun Changfeng.

It has to be said that Yun Changfeng, that old fox, was indeed extremely cunning.

He seemed to have achieved his goal, but in reality, he never managed to escape the other party's grasp.

However, faced with such a scheme, Lu Ming's lips slowly curled into a cold smile:

"Since none of you want to give me a way out, then don't blame me for fighting my way through. Let's see who comes out on top in the end..."

He turned away indifferently, his figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

Finally, it disappeared at the end of the underworld, swallowed by the hazy moonlight.
