Seeing that Jing Ming seemed to be a little impatient, Horse knew that if he did not tell the truth soon, he might not even have the chance to speak later.
With Jing Ming’s strength, Horse could not even defend himself against a single sword strike.
Without a choice, Horse could only tell the true purpose of them coming to the Lower Realm.
However, when he heard that these guys had not had the time to steal the luck of this world, Jing Ming frowned slightly.
“Are you sure none of you secretly stole the luck of the Lower Realm?”
Hearing this, Horse was stunned.
“Reporting to Lord Jing Ming, I’m very sure that there isn’t…”
However, Jing Ming suddenly looked up at him and asked, “Are you sure?11
Seeing this, beads of sweat rolled down Horse s forehead.
“What did he mean? What did this Apotheosis Stage master mean?11 Horse thought.
Horse didn’t know that Jing Ming knew that they weren’t lying. However, Jing Ming felt that he could use this matter to give an explanation to Spirit Sword Sect.
At this point, Jing Ming realized that the guy who had stolen the luck was very cunning, it was not easy to find him.
Initially, he thought that Zhuang Yangbing was that audacious thief.
However, after some observation, he was sure that Zhuang Yangbing was just a small cultivator with a bit of stability and good talent.
There was no way he could steal the luck without alerting the Nascent Soul Stage Mountain God and various arrays.
If he could really do this, he wouldn’t have to wait until Horse and the others left the Imperial capital to find his remnant soul.
in short, Zhuang Yangbing was able to clear his name mainly because he was too weak.
In fact, regardless of whether Zhuang Yangbing was the thief who stole the luck or not, Jing Ming had decided to pin the blame on Horse and the others after seeing them.
It was very simple. These people could steal luck regardless of their strength or motivation.
Compared to catching a guy who was only at the Core Formation Stage cultivation and saying that he was a thief of luck, it would be better to say that capturing this group of Nascent Soul Stage demons would be more credible.
The most important thing was that Jing Ming’s task at this time was not only to catch the criminal but also to find a way to make up for the lack of luck.
And Florse and the others were undoubtedly sacrificial lambs that were delivered to his doorstep.
A demon that could cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage was naturally not any ordinary demon.
They definitely had a lot of luck in them.
Moreover, these guys were in the wrong now. Even if he lulled them, they could not say anything.
If Jing Ming didn’t think that these guys were just enough for him to report, he wouldn’t have let them live for so long.
Based on these reasons, the Ugly Bull, Horse, and Dog were the ones who stole the luck even though they didn’t do it.
Who asked them to be so unlucky that they bumped into him?
Jing Ming did not give Horse and the others a chance to explain further. He directly put the three guys into his Sacred Realm bag.
The so-called Sacred Realm bag was a higher-grade storage magic item.
Generally, only cultivators above the Nascent Soul Stage could possess it.
The biggest feature of this magic item was that it could hold living things.
After all was done, Jing Ming ordered the others to capture the remaining small demons of the Thousand Demon Kingdom.
After capturing all of them, Jing Ming would let them share a portion of their luck to make up for the missing luck.
Now that he had caught the thief and replenished the luck, Jing Ming’s mission to the Lower Realm this time was basically completed successfully.
At this time, he naturally had no reason to continue staying in the Lower Realm.
It was worth mentioning that, thanks to Jing Ming’s relationship, Xu Wan er naturally did not need to continue participating in the assessment. She could go to the Upper Realm with Jing Ming.
Although she was reluctant to part with the Lower Realm, Xu Wan’er knew that a little reluctance would ruin the plan.
If she continued to stay in the Lower Realm now, rhe gap between her and Lu Yuan would only become wider.
As time passed, she could not guarantee that she would still have such a high status on Lu Yuan’s side.
After Jing Ming left, the Spirit Sword Sect quickly sent a new disciple to the Lower Realm to host this Immortal Ascension Assembly.
After Lu Yuan learned of this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Originally, he thought that if Jing Ming was stubborn enough to find the guy who had stolen the luck back then, how he was going to respond.
He had also done many things in response to this.
This includes but was not limited to, framing Zhuang Yangbing and creating the scene where Zhuang Yangbing entered the depths of the Myriad Bone Forest.
However, none of these methods were used in the end.
Things had developed to this point, which was definitely not bad for Lu Yuan.
With Ugly Bull and the others of the T housand Demon Kingdom taking the blame, he had nothing to worry about.
On Jing Ming’s side, the lost luck had been replenished, and the criminal had been caught.
The mission was considered to have been perfectly completed, not to mention that he had unexpectedly found his own descendant.
it could be said that this trip to the Lower Realm was absolutely very fulfilling for him.
In conclusion, apart from Ugly Bull and the others from the Thousand Demon Kingdom who were unlucky, most of the others got the results they wanted.
Without Ugly Bull and the others, the immortal Ascension Assembly became quieter.
Even though there were still people like Chen Yan and Wen Yu hiding among them.
However, the death of Bi Fang and Hook Snake made these two fellows look like frightened lattens, not daring to show their presence at all.
Wenyu chose to give up on this trial and returned to the Upper Realm.
Chen Yan used his new identity to participate in this Immortal Ascension Assembly and entered the Upper Realm.
Lu Yuan did not pay much attention to these two people.
As a steady person, Lu Yuan never wanted to find trouble for himself.
If he hadn’t been innocently dragged into this Immortal Ascension Assembly, Lu Yuan wouldn’t even want to go to the Imperial capital.
On the day the Immortal Ascension Assembly ended, outside the Full Moon Mountain.
“Master, look on the bright side. Although you’ve failed again, you have to think positively. For example, didn’t Senior Brother Bai successfully enter the Upper Realm?’1
Han Yuanshan, who was dejected, suddenly felt that Lu Yuan was bringing up a sore spot.
What did he mean by although I failed, my disciple succeeded?’
Doesn’t this show that I, as his master, am a piece of trash?
Don’t speak if you don’t know how to comfort people!
Han Yuanshan, who had been hit by Lu Yuan’s spiritual attack, finally chose to leave with a grunt.
Lu Yuan looked at Han Yuanshan’s back and just smiled without saying anything.
After waiting for so many years, he had finally waited for the Immortal Ascension Assembly to end.
Although this matter was something that was not part of his plan.
However, in general, his trip to the Immortal Ascension Assembly this time was quite fruitful.
Moreover, with this experience, his breakthrough to the Core Formation Stage would not be too sudden.
Lu Yuan also noticed the details.
That was, many people in the outside world knew that he had cultivated a lot of Acquired Spiritual Roots.
It was just that they did not know how much he had cultivated his body for the time being.
Therefore, Lu Yuan decided to announce that he had cultivated seven spiritual roots.
However, these seven spiritual roots were all the lowest quality Foundation Establishment through the way of humans.
Even so, a seven-patterned way of human golden core could completely become an elder in rhe Qingyun Sect.
Therefore, when he learned that Lu Yuan had successfully broken through to the Core Formation Stage and would return to the sect, Qingyun Sect leader, Mu Chen, sent his disciples to congratulate Lu Yuan and gave him the position of an elder of the Qingyun Sect.
From today onwards, Lu Yuan’s hierarchy had changed from Qingyun Sect direct disciple to a Sect Master in the mouths of others.
If Lu Yuan wanted to, he could even start taking in disciples.
However, Lu Yuan had no interest in grooming disciples at all.
This was because he had to start making preparations for the way of the heavens Nascent Soul Stage.
it was naturally not a simple matter to complete the way of the heavens Nascent Soul Stage in rhe Lower Realm.
Talent was one thing, but cultivation resources were equally important.
Lu Yuan did not lack talent, but what he lacked… was resources..
