Chapter 104: Who Is The Protagonist?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
That afternoon.
Lu Ming returned home.
The matter about the demonstration seemed to be fermenting.
Regardless of whether they had any families or graves, many people went along to ask for compensation. Lu Ming even saw a thirteen-year-old young lady who demanded compensation for her six-year-old son.
To h.e.l.l with it!
Was your son worthless?
Who should they reason with?
Half of the population in Qing Ming City was involved!
There were many people like Zhang Xiaopang. Moreover, as long as one partic.i.p.ated in the demonstration, one would be eligible to receive compensation if things were blown up. n.o.body wanted to miss it?!
Tsk tsk.
Lu Ming wanted to hold up a sign to join the demonstration as well. But after careful thought, he realized that if he joined the demonstration, he might be killed by his sister.
Hence…
More and more people were joining the demonstration.
The four-star cultivators were dumbstruck!
This matter…
Why did it turn out like this?
n.o.body knew!
Of course.
This matter could actually be contained.
After all…
There was a recorded name list for the deceased buried in the cemetery. However, Qing Ming City had no wish to handle this matter. They allowed more and more people to demand compensation. The more the merrier! After all, if this matter was dismissed, what would happen to Qing Ming City in the future? Would everyone come and make a scene here?
The cultivators had to answer for this!
Therefore, they allowed people to continue with the demonstration, letting it become more and more serious…
In the end…
The higher-ups suppressed the matter by force!
If the cultivators did not come up with a sum of money, they would not be allowed to leave. Those who already left had received a warning as well!
A higher-up had already intervened.
Unless one wanted to be a nameless cultivator in the future, otherwise…
As long as one stepped into the city…
As long as one wished to be open and aboveboard…
One had to pay the fine!
…
“On what grounds?!”
Zhou Yang was furious.
He must be downright unlucky!
The goldfish that was almost his went missing and he was being blackmailed and extorted by a fatty, almost ruining his reputation!
Thereafter…
He still had to be the scapegoat for what happened!
On what grounds?!
He came all the way here but he had no returns. Instead, he had to fork out a large sum of money?!
He had staked all his savings into this!
Besides, he had to keep it from his family!
d.a.m.n it!
It was originally a good thing. Why did it turn out like this?
He was at a loss.
In the past, even if the mission had failed, at most he wasted his time making a futile trip.
But this time, he suffered huge losses!
“Qing Ming City…”
He gritted his teeth, he hated this place to the core.
He lost at least a few months’ worth of cultivation resources because of this!
Bulls!
Those d.a.m.n raging bulls!
This man was the real culprit!
It was a pity…
No one had any idea who he was!
Everyone only saw the bulls but they did not see any person!
The investigation lead by Qing Ming City also stated that their battle had triggered the herd attack and it was unreasonable to blame it on a cultivator that was non-existent!
Therefore, the cultivators had to take responsibility for it!
“I will find you!”
Zhou Yang’s gaze converged.
He knew the person must be very powerful.
He was able to stand against all the four-star cultivators by himself. His ability must be way above them. Perhaps he was not qualified now, however…
There would be a day…
Where he would find the man!
He would find the bulls!
Afterward…
He would finish him!
“Wait for me.”
Zhou Yang’s murderous intent was obvious.
…
Somewhere.
Gao Tianlang who had already left looked at the message.
Notice of compensation…
A large sum!
Of course.
This was not the point.
The point was his sister who had just healed from her previous injuries was lying on the bed again.
Serious injuries!
“Is she alright?”
His voice was hoa.r.s.e.
“It’s still not too bad.”
The family doctor said, “With the healing ability, her body will recover very quickly. What I am worried about now is her mental state. I am afraid that this will leave a psychological impact on her. After all…”
The doctor did not say anything else.
He cast a strange look at Gao Tianlang.
This pair of brother and sister…
They sure knew how to mess around!
Every time she was sent here, she looked devastated and ravaged. What had they been doing these days?!
“I understand,” Gao Tianlang replied dully.
Bulls…
Click!
He clenched his fists.
The d.a.m.n Bull Demon King!
Oh.
It might not be him this time. It might be another person!
“Regardless of who you are…
Regardless of where you are hiding…
One day, I will definitely kill you!”
Gao Tianlang’s murderous intent was obvious.
Of course.
He also knew that right now he was not the person’s opponent.
The terrifying herd of bulls…
No ordinary people would be able to summon them!
Even if it was a four-star Summoner, it was impossible to summon this amount of bulls! Bulls kept charging at them without stopping. His hands would turn weak from killing them!
In the end, he would tire himself to death!
This was the scariest part.
This guy…
His ability was definitely above him!
Four-star peak level?
Or perhaps, five-star cultivator?
Stronger!
He had to become stronger!
Right now, he had a great opportunity—Lunar Shadow legacy!
“Very good.
I will definitely get the Lunar Shadow legacy!
Since Lu Yan won’t fight for it, this is my best chance!”
Gao Tianlang was very determined.
Back in the old days…
Since they were Swordsmen in The First Academy, he and Lu Yan would partic.i.p.ate in almost the same activities, and he would always be defeated by Lu Yan in all the activities!
He could only live in her shadow!
But right now, this was his best chance!
He could shake off Lu Yan, the big devil’s shadow and compete for the legacy with his own ability!
He could even…
Have the resources to be on par with Lu Yan!
“Lunar Shadow legacy…
I will get you.”
…
Qing Ming City.
The four-star cultivators received the fine notice.
Although they knew that the culprit was someone else, n.o.body cared. They could not find the cultivator, or perhaps he did not exist at all!
They had no other choice but to be the scapegoat!
Everyone paid a large sum of money. For those who did not have money, they owed it for the time being. Everyone left in a puff of anger.
At this moment.
The demonstration in mighty formation had finally ended.
Qing Ming City obtained a complete victory.
…
The police station.
Hehe.
“This group of people was taught a lesson,” Zhang Wei sneered.
How dare they disregard the law?
Did they think that they could trample the small city as and wish they liked?
It was ridiculous!
No one could stop them in the suburbs. But they had to pay a price in the city!
However…
He still found it odd.
There were already many similar cases this year?!
This was strange.
It was merely a spirit body hunt. Why did it turn to be so bizarre at Qing Ming City? Did the mysterious Summoner that they kept talking about really exist?!
This year…
Was indeed full of trouble!
…
At this very moment…
Inside the shop.
Lu Ming looked at the news, feeling delighted.
So what if they were four-star cultivators?
They should be taught a lesson!
They should not disregard human lives!
Hehe.
The matter with the graves was settled. But Lu Ming still remembered what happened with Zhou Yang. One day he would take down this b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
What’s next…
“I have to become stronger.”
Lu Ming looked worried.
He was only successful this time was because the destroyed graves had sparked off the people’s anger and that was why the cultivators became everyone’s target!
If this did not happen?
He had no idea which side would the law side with.
Lu Ming read from the history book that according to legend, there were cultivators who ma.s.sacred all the inhabitants of a city. What was shocking was that the cultivator had not been caught!
This was the scariest part!
The police officers could protect them in broad daylight.
What about in the darkness?
They had to rely on themselves!
Especially…
Lu Ming knew very well about the existence of the World of Darkness and Shadows.
Over there…
Darkness was everywhere.
“I have to become stronger.”
A burning motivation was ignited in Lu Ming’s heart.
“Master?”
Xiaobai seemed to have noticed the changes in his mood. She pulled at the corner of his clothes.
“I’m fine.”
Lu Ming rubbed her little head. “Do you know why the salted fish needs to flip over?”
“Huh?”
Xiaobai was confused.
“If the salted fish did not flip over… it would be treated like a dead fish and thrown away.”
Lu Ming smiled.
“So…
We have to flip over occasionally.
We have to become a salted fish that could flip over,” Lu Ming said.
“Oh.”
Xiaobai seemed to have understood a little.
…
The next day.
Zhang Xiaopang sent the resources over.
Lu Ming finally realized that this guy had cheated Zhou Yang of two million yuan!
Two million yuan!
And he had given Lu Ming one million yuan!
This was amazing!
What else could he say?
It was no wonder the guy resorted to cheating them. Those people were loaded!
However…
Come to think of it…
Zhang Xiaopang was the real protagonist!
Look.
He would stir up trouble from time to time, but he always stayed alive. He had a doll by his side to wait on him, protect him and warm his bed. This was the life of a protagonist?!
What about him?
Lu Ming looked at Xiaobai.
“Master?”
Xiaobai noticed the expression in Lu Ming’s eyes and she blinked.
“I’m fine.”
Lu Ming rubbed her hair.
Hehe.
So what about Xin-er…
No one was as adorable as his Xiaobai!
That afternoon.
Lu Ming calculated his recent proceeds and it was an alarming figure!
In that case…
The next step would be to work hard to increase his energy!
He had a good plan. It was to go into retreat to create cards, to turn all the money into cards, so as to have a better result in the legacy!
However…
He did not expect that he would receive a message from Lu Yan that night—come to Tian Du City tomorrow.
“Has it been brought forward?”
Lu Ming’s heart jumped a beat.
He had some understanding of his sister. Lu Yan regarded the rules that set far more seriously than him. Now that it was being brought forward suddenly…
There might be some changes with the Lunar Shadow legacy.
