Chapter 195: Divine Alliance and the Beginning of Chaos

As soon as Li De finished speaking, the entire venue was silent.
A moment later, a bold person muttered softly, “This ruin was discovered by the Heaven Saber Gang…”
Before the Spirit Realm expert could say anything to Meijixi, a well-informed person whispered, “It seems like the Heaven Saber Gang doesn’t exist anymore.”
“Doesn’t exist?”
“Yes, a few days ago, the Divine Dao Gang attacked the Heaven Saber Gang. That old man Meijixi secretly contacted many Spirit Realm experts and wiped out the Heaven Saber Gang. The Jing family father and son did not show up from the beginning to the end, supposedly out of fear….”
Another person murmured, “So, we have to follow their rules, pay an entrance fee, and get searched when we leave? I don’t believe that they would dare to search the bodies of Spirit Realm experts, even if they’re powerful.”
“Shh… Keep your voice down… They really dare…”
“It’s said that the big battle in Flame City yesterday was initiated by them. The patriarchs of the Rao Clan, the Qi Clan, and the Stone Clan were all killed. Apelo of the Black Feather Tribe narrowly escaped, but now, he can only hide in a corner of Flame City.”
“These people have probably already formed an organization under Meijixi’s coordination, and their intentions are easy to understand. They want to control the entire ruins and not share it with outsiders.”
There were countless treasures inside the Flame Clan ruins.
This was a treasure trove filled with gold everywhere.
But, no matter how many treasures there were, no one was willing to share them.
Wasn’t it a waste to distribute the wealth to the b.u.mpkin?
Given this, Meijixi secretly contacted more than ten spirit realm experts!
With the Spirit Realm experts holding down the fort and the members of the Divine Dao Gang helping deal with trivial matters, an alliance was formed. Moreover, yesterday, this alliance brazenly attacked and almost wiped out all the Spirit Realm experts who were unconvinced!
After dealing with the Spirit Realm experts, how could the remaining low-level Awakened individuals have any room to resist?
Li De spoke again, “The rules have been set. Whoever doesn’t submit will die.”
“If any Spirit Realm expert has any objections to my rules, I welcome you to look for me.”
“As for whether we will use fists to talk or cooperate for mutual benefit at that time, it depends on your abilities.”
Li De’s words left some face-saving room for other Spirit Realm experts but not much.
In short, Reed was quite domineering and seemed to be very confident in his own strength.
Meijixi interrupted, “Now, everyone, start paying.”
This incident caused some minor disruptions for Lu Ming, but not much.
He could afford to pay the fee. Although Lu Ming was not rich, he had indeed saved up some corpse crystals when he killed Hachima An and the other zombies.
He was even less afraid of being searched.
The opportunities he sought in this place were not physical items to begin with. So, no matter how hard they were to search him, they would not find anything.
Of course, his mood was certainly affected by the situation after encountering such a thing…
However, considering his principle of avoiding conflict as much as possible, Lu Ming still suppressed his anger and prepared to queue up to pay.
A long queue was formed.
Lu Ming was inconspicuous in the midst of the crowd.
About half an hour later, seeing that the order had been set, Li De and the other Spirit Realm experts flew away and returned to Flame City, preparing to search for opportunities while hunting for Apelo and the other fleeing Spirit Realm expert enemies.
As Spirit Realm experts, they naturally would not do the ch.o.r.es of maintaining order.
However, there were no other Spirit Realm experts at the scene. With a level nine Physique Realm expert like Meijixi holding down the fort, there should not be any big trouble.
However, this was actually a little taken for granted…
Those who could come and dared to explore the ruins of the Flame Clan to search for treasures were all people who valued money more than their lives. Such people hated being restricted by the rules and even had an extreme spirit of resistance!
Not to mention…
It was not as if the Divine Dao Gang Alliance did not have enemies!
In the crowd, a person who was also wearing a black robe and concealing his figure, slowly raised his head and looked at the Spirit Realm experts flying far away, his eyes flashing with hatred.
He suddenly lifted his hood, revealing the face from the Rao Clan under the hood.
Then, he roared, “d.a.m.n the f*cking Divine Dao Gang! d.a.m.n the f*cking Divine Dao Alliance!”
“Kill!!”
He unleashed a powerful punch, the strength of a Level 9 Physique Realm expert was revealed.
After killing a few Divine Dao Gang members, this person had already soared into the air and shot towards the distant Meijixi!
This triggered a chain reaction.
Sometimes, some things needed someone unafraid of death to take the lead…
Once there was a leader, the direction of events might not be what was expected.
With Rao Clan members taking the lead, more people in the crowd with ulterior motives immediately took action.
There were even explorers who could not afford to pay and wanted to explore the ruins. They took advantage of the chaos to kill and rob or hurriedly scatter in all directions.
There was no such thing as paying.
If they wanted to explore the ruins, they could only sneak in during the chaos… What else could they do…
As for how they would get out later..
This was a problem for later.
Could one expect a group of desperados with no future to plan that far ahead?
The entire entrance of the ruins was in chaos!
Lu Ming was perplexed…
“What should I do?”
Lu Ming was indeed thinking more than the desperados.
At this moment, the Divine Dao Alliance which controlled the heart of the ruins, had already revealed itself.
They would not just stand by and watch someone breaking the rules they had set.
Therefore, it was easy to imagine that the entire Flame Clan ruins would soon be plunged into chaos and turmoil…
And then…”
Lu Ming did not dwell on it any further and just sprinted in the opposite direction of the chaos.
This was because the turmoil here would surely attract the Spirit Realm experts of the Divine Dao Alliance back.
The Spirit Realm experts would not concern themselves with who caused or masterminded the chaos.
Spirit Realm experts would simply take action to eliminate everyone—better to kill ten innocent people than let one guilty one escape! It was rough but straightforward, effective, and swift.
Lu Ming’s speed was naturally incredibly fast.
In just a few minutes, Lu Ming had run out of the square.
After briefly identifying the direction, Lu Ming took a longer route, avoiding the areas with the most people and the return route of the Divine Dao Alliance’s Spirit Realm experts. He then ran towards the huge and towering walls of Flame City.
About an hour later, when Lu Ming arrived at the foot of the Flame City walls, an earth-shattering roar sounded from the square behind.
Everything was as Lu Ming had expected.
When Spirit Realm experts attacked, not a blade of gra.s.s remained!
“You don’t mean to harm others, but others can mean to harm you!”
“I originally wanted to treat you well, but my efforts went down the drain…”
Standing at the foot of the city wall of Flame City, Lu Ming sighed repeatedly.
Originally, he just wanted to take advantage of the ruins and quietly farm his attributes, and mind his own business.
However, the environment turned out to be quite unfavorable.
“Then what should I do next?”
Returning was out of the question.
After this incident, the Divine Dao Alliance would certainly arrange for Spirit Realm experts to guard the entrance of the ruins.
Moreover, the rules regarding entrance fees might be entirely different now.
Going back would be walking right into a trap, and Lu Ming indeed needed to stay in the ruins.
After pondering for a while, Lu Ming raised his head and looked at Flame City in front of him.
“Let’s enter the city.”
Lu Ming reached out and tightened his grip on the city wall, then climbed up like a gecko..
