With a deafening boom, a violent explosion rang out.
The heavily injured second and third disciples didn't even have a chance to resist before they were blown to smithereens, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.
Although Ye Fan was helpless about Bai Yuanfei escaping, he was not surprised.
After all, as the Sect Master's eldest disciple, it was only normal for him to have some life-saving trump cards.
Immediately after, he popped another recovery pill into his mouth and sat cross-legged to heal his wounds.
This time, he took out an array disk and set it up around himself.
He did not want a repeat of last time, where someone had managed to sneak up on him.
After Lu Ming slipped through the opened stone door, he found himself in a dark, gloomy tunnel.
After walking down the passage for about fifteen minutes, the view ahead suddenly opened up.
He quickly realized he had entered a space with even denser spiritual energy.
Seeing the spiritual herbs scattered everywhere on the ground, Lu Ming immediately turned back to the tunnel and set up several array disks and a few traps.
He hoped this would buy him a bit more time...
Once everything was set up, Lu Ming immediately transformed into a hardworking little laborer.
Whether he recognized them or not, he harvested everything in his path, sweeping through them like a hurricane.
At this moment, Lu Ming wished he could grow eight arms.
The harvesting speed was simply too slow!
He was worried that before he could finish gathering everything, those Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Haoran Sect would come inside.
If they came in and tried to snatch his loot, what would he do?
He figured Bai Yuanfei and the other two would probably win.
Although that Ye Fan seemed quite formidable, Bai Yuanfei and his companions were, after all, Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Not everyone possessed the ability to kill opponents above their realm like he, the protagonist, did.
And certainly not a one-versus-three victory...
With Lu Ming working like his life depended on it, he practically scraped the entire space three feet deep, plundering every single thing...
Lu Ming looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction. He couldn't blame himself for being greedy.
After all, he had been dirt poor in his past life, was flat broke in this life, and after joining a sect, he was so impoverished he couldn't even make a sound...
In short, he was absolutely terrified of being poor!
Then, he looked up at something he had just discovered.
A gilded coffin floating in midair.
The body of the coffin was made of some unknown golden crystal, with dark gold patterns flowing across its surface like a living thing.
The lid and the coffin fit together seamlessly, with seven dark star pattern stones embedded along the edges.
Looking at this incredibly luxurious coffin, Lu Ming couldn't help but smack his lips.
“If I bring a coffin back, I wonder if the Grand Elder will like it?
“I wonder if it will match his Feng Shui layout of the Azure Dragon on the left and White Tiger on the right.
“Forget it, I'll just take it...”
Who could help it when the color was so attractive?
There was no helping it; he was just a vulgar, ordinary person.
He just loved these glittering, worldly items.
Whether it was useful or not didn't matter; it was pleasing to the eye!
Acting on his desires, Lu Ming searched through his pile of storage bags.
He found a pitch-black rope that emitted a faint, eerie glow.
He gave it a hard tug and nodded in satisfaction. It was quite sturdy.
Then, he grabbed one end of the rope and tossed it right over the top of the coffin.
Next, he held both ends of the rope, preparing to pull the coffin down first.
Holding onto the two ends of the rope, Lu Ming swung back and forth like he was on a swing.
Even though he used every ounce of strength in his body, the coffin above remained completely motionless.
“Fuck his grandfather, this is surprisingly hard to deal with...”
Lu Ming looked up at the coffin and couldn't help but curse.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he immediately put away the rope.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned his Weapon Vault.
Then, controlling the Weapon Vault, he flew it directly above the coffin and pressed down on it.
With a loud thud, dust billowed as the golden coffin crashed straight down.
Lu Ming excitedly put away his Weapon Vault.
He quickly ran to the side of the coffin. Looking at the glittering, golden casket, he subconsciously reached out and gave the lid a push.
Creak...
Lu Ming was stunned. How did it just slide open like that?
Then, he peeked inside the coffin, only to find it completely empty. There was nothing inside.
“Huh? Why is there nothing here?”
Lu Ming couldn't help but mutter.
“Could it be that so much time has passed that the owner of the coffin has decayed into absolutely nothing?
“Even if there's not a single speck left, shouldn't there at least be some ash?
“Or is this just an empty coffin to begin with?”
Tap, tap...
An empty coffin was even better. Lu Ming couldn't help but pat the side of the coffin.
Tap... thud... Huh?
Just as Lu Ming patted the outside and then patted the inside, he realized the texture felt wrong. What was going on?
Lu Ming looked into the coffin in confusion.
There was clearly nothing there!
He stared at the empty coffin and carefully reached his hand further inside.
Whoosh!
Lu Ming whipped his hand back. The sensation had been incredibly real; there was absolutely something in there.
He stared at the empty coffin once more.
“Holy crap, is there something invisible in there?”
Lu Ming couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Then, he simply lifted the massive coffin, flipped it upside down, and gave it a good shake.
Thud...
Something fell onto the ground. Along with this movement, an arm appeared in Lu Ming's line of sight.
“Oh my god? Is it really that magical?”
Lu Ming stared with wide eyes at the exposed arm.
From the state of the hand, he could tell it belonged to an old man.
Lu Ming hesitated for a moment before carefully feeling his way up the arm.
A soft texture met his hand, and at that moment, the scene before Lu Ming's eyes changed.
Right beneath his hand, the corpse of an old man clad in a black robe materialized before him.
And the softness Lu Ming felt in his hand was indeed the black robe.
Seeing this, Lu Ming's eyes widened instantly, and his breathing grew rapid.
“Have I struck it rich? Did I get a secret treasure?!
“This is a fucking cloak of invisibility!
“This is literally the treasure of my dreams!”
Thinking back to his childhood dream in his past life, he had always wanted a cloak of invisibility like this, so he could wear it and eat his way through all the convenience stores near the orphanage.
Immediately, Lu Ming looked at the old man's corpse.
“Hello, Grandfather. Meeting like this is fate. I'd like to inherit your legacy. You don't mind, right?
“Haha... Thank you, Grandfather. Since you didn't refuse, I'll take that as a yes...”
Then, Lu Ming nimbly stripped the black cloak off the old man's body.
He threw it over his own shoulders, but he couldn't see if it was working.
So, Lu Ming pulled out a bronze mirror.
He couldn't see himself. Not even a single bit... The invisibility was a success!
“Haha... Hahaha!”
Lu Ming couldn't contain his joy. He truly was the protagonist.
This secret treasure must have been waiting here just for a protagonist like him to claim it.
“Grandfather, look! My invisibility is a success!
“Grandfather, look at this cloak of invisibility. It fits me perfectly...
“Grandfather, thank you for keeping it safe for me for so long...”
Lu Ming showed off in the cloak of invisibility for quite a while. Sadly, Grandfather was his only audience...
But just as Lu Ming finished showing off and stored the cloak of invisibility into his storage bag,
Crack!
Suddenly, wind and clouds gathered overhead, swirling together in an instant.
Dark, heavy clouds surged rapidly as streaks of silver-purple lightning snaked and flashed through them.
What was going on?
Then, he looked down at the old man's corpse he had tossed onto the ground.
Could it be that robbing Grandfather's grave brought retribution?
