"Walk!"
Lu Ming turned and left, increasing his speed to the maximum. He thought the woman had come with help, and if he stayed any longer, it would be dangerous.
Um?
The woman was surprised. She had thought that the experts from the Star Iron Mine would find her and rush over, and that Lu Ming would try his best to hold her back. Unexpectedly, Lu Ming ran faster than her.
"Could it be that he's not from the Yuanluo Palace?"
The woman had a thought, then moved and left.
Not long after they left, several figures appeared at the site of their battle.
Looking at the furrows on the ground, one of the old men revealed a sinister sneer: "It seems the Zhengtian Army is still not giving up and is still lingering nearby!"
"Hehe, now that we've captured their people, they'll naturally want to rescue them. Well, we'll just wait and see, and then we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"
Another old woman sneered.
With a flash, the group disappeared from the spot.
......
Lu Ming traveled for over 100,000 miles before stopping and finding a place to rest.
"If we observe here for a while and it still doesn't work, then we'll have to find a secluded place on Dark Star and let the small world merge with the primordial universe!"
Lu Ming pondered.
Although doing so carries a great risk and there is a very high chance that it will be discovered by the experts of Yuanluo Palace, there is no other way now.
After resting for two days, Lu Ming headed towards the Star Iron Mine again.
Clang! Clang!...
Lu Ming walked forward for a while and then heard the sounds of fierce fighting ahead, clearly indicating that a major battle was taking place.
Lu Ming's eyes flickered, then he concealed his aura and carefully approached.
Ahead, three middle-aged men are attacking a woman.
It's her!
Lu Ming's eyes flickered.
The woman being attacked was actually the same beautiful woman who had attacked Lu Ming earlier.
At this moment, the woman was surrounded and attacked by three burly men, and her situation was critical.
Two of the three burly men were at the second level of the Void God Realm, while the third was at the third level.
Although the woman was strong, she was no match for the three men attacking her.
"This girl from the Zhengfa Army is pretty good-looking. Perfect, I'll take her and enjoy her, haha!"
The burly man at the third level of the Void God Realm wielded an iron rod, which made a loud rumbling sound and was incredibly powerful.
With one blow, the woman's body trembled violently, and she was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her pretty face turning deathly pale.
"Yuanluo Palace scrambled eggs..."
The woman gritted her teeth and tried her best to rush to the side, but the three big men held her tightly, and she could not break free at all.
"So she wasn't from the Yuanluo Palace, but from the Zhengtian Army!"
Lu Ming's eyes lit up.
It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!
As mentioned before at the end of the Song Dynasty, the force established by the Dharma Ancestor was called the Zhengtian Army, wasn't it?
This woman is actually a member of the Zhengtian Army, so she absolutely cannot die at the hands of the Yuanluo Palace.
Lu Ming began to unleash the Battle Word Technique, triggering double combat power.
This time he was lucky; Lu Ming triggered double combat power in just three attempts.
Lu Ming cautiously approached, then suddenly erupted, charging forward.
"who!"
As soon as Lu Ming made a move, his opponent noticed. A burly man at the second level of the Void God Realm shouted and turned to attack.
However, the opponent made a hasty move and was no match for Lu Ming. He was directly knocked away by Lu Ming's sword.
Then, Lu Ming continued to advance, unleashing a series of deadly attacks, his battle sword slashing out relentlessly.
puff!
Blood splattered everywhere as Lu Ming killed the burly man.
After killing this burly man, Lu Ming once again charged towards another burly man at the second level of the Void God Realm.
"It's him!"
Upon seeing Lu Ming, the young woman's eyes lit up, and she moved with lightning speed to dodge the attack of the Void God Realm Level 3 expert.
With two burly men at the second level of the Void God Realm attacking her less, the woman's pressure was greatly reduced. She managed to dodge several of their attacks, and her situation improved considerably.
"You little brat, you're asking for it!"
The burly man at the third level of the Void God Realm roared and charged at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming turned and left, avoiding any direct confrontation.
The burly man roared and chased after the woman again, but she had already run far away.
Lu Ming didn't linger in the fight. He ran at top speed, then made an arc and chased after the woman.
After chasing for a while, the two burly men seemed to have some reservations and dared not continue the pursuit. Instead, they stopped and sent word.
Lu Ming followed the young woman, traveling for over 100,000 miles.
At this moment, the young woman stopped, looked at Lu Ming, and said, "Although you saved me, you don't need to keep following me. What do you want?"
"Are you a member of the Zhengtian Army?"
Lu Ming asked.
The woman's expression changed slightly, and she said, "Indeed, I'm very curious, who exactly are you? It seems the people of Yuanluo Palace are also after you!"
"You really are a member of the Zhengtian Army!"
Lu Ming was overjoyed and said, "I am from the same hometown as Senior Dharma Ancestor. Could you please take me to see Senior Dharma Ancestor?"
"The Dharma Ancestor? Who is that?"
The woman frowned in confusion.
"Hmm, you don't know the Dharma Ancestor? The Dharma Ancestor was the one who founded the Righteous Heaven Army!"
Lu Ming said.
"You mean the military commander? You're from the same hometown as the military commander?"
The woman was puzzled.
"Yes, it's the real deal. The entire Dark Star is hunting me down!"
Lu Ming said.
"Whether you are truly from the same hometown as the Military Lord or not, it is a fact that you and Yuanluo Palace are enemies. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. However, it is impossible to take you to see the Military Lord now!"
The woman shook her head and sighed.
"What happened?"
Lu Ming had a bad feeling.
"Last time, some of us attacked the Star Iron Mine on Dark Star, intending to seize a batch of their ore. Unexpectedly, the enemy had prepared an ambush beforehand. Some of us were killed in battle, some were captured, and only a few escaped!"
"The senior who controlled the starship has also been captured by the enemy. Now that the starship is in their hands, if we want to escape from Dark Star, we must first rescue those Zhengtian Army members and take back the starship!"
The woman said.
"this..."
Lu Ming was speechless.
He finally encountered the Zhengtian Army, but unexpectedly, the Zhengtian Army suffered a similar fate to him, trapped and unable to escape.
"Right now, many experts from the Yuanluo Palace have been deployed in the Star Iron Mine, just waiting for us to make a move so they can wipe us out in one fell swoop. I've been scouting around here for the time being!"
The woman said.
Lu Ming finally understood why the woman attacked him the moment she saw him last time. She probably mistook him for someone from the Yuanluo Palace and wanted to capture him to get information.
"What is the cultivation level of the strongest expert in the Star Iron Mine?"
Lu Ming pondered for a moment and then asked.
"Ninth level of the Void God Realm!"
The woman said.
"So, what level of cultivation do those of you who escaped have?"
Lu Ming asked again.
"There is also one person at the ninth level of the Void God Realm, but there is only one. However, there are several people at the ninth level of the Void God Realm in the Star Iron Mine, so we are no match for them at all!"
The woman said.
"There's also a ninth-level Void God Realm cultivator, haha, that's enough, that's enough! I can help you rescue people and reclaim the starship!"
Lu Ming burst into laughter.
