Chapter 102: Stepping Stone


    It took some time to get out of the ancient ruins for Jin Jun to make it back to the surface. He took a breath of fresh air amidst the shade of the forest just as he exited the ancient gate.


    "Hmph! This lousy ce was deliberately built to oppose me? That weak human still underestimates me, just wait when I oppose the world and conquer it again, again and again... Hahaha! I''m never satisfied."


    Jin Jun snorted while looking at the ancient gate behind him, he summoned the Hell Sword from his body and suddenly a ck greatsword appeared in his hand.


    *sh*


    He shed lightly towards the gate then put his sword back into his body, the great sword in his hand suddenly disappeared. Without waiting for what happened, Jin Jun went straight from there to the big portal realm that was visible in the distance.


    *Swoosh!* *Boom!*


    The sound of the ancient gate copsing and the crumbling rocky mountain behind it rumbled loudly as Jin Jun left. One light sh earlier shattered the rocky mountain and the massive ancient gate.


    "This is not the real world, this is an artificial realm... I better get out of here immediately to conquer and give terror to the world behind that portal kekeke... Oh? There are mortal beings, I give you the honor to be my stepping stone."


    Jin Jun chuckled creepily as he flew in the air but he stopped for a moment when he saw several mortals walking right below him. He changed his flight path and dived towards the few weak humans.


    Meanwhile, the joint human group that Jin Jun was after was talking about something and was heading to the gloomy mountain, the mountain with the gate that was just destroyed by Jin Jun a while ago.


    "Young master, our exploration on the first day was truly amazing. This hidden realm does indeed hold a lot of treasures and valuable items."


    "We still have 29 days left to explore the hidden realm, and on the first day alone we have obtained some precious stones and lots of rare herbs, and their value can all be equal to the ie of our n for three months!"


    A lean man and a rather chubby man were chatting about their loot and item acquisition to their young master who was walking confidently.


    "Of course, I am destined to be a great person. Great people will certainly have great luck too." Zhu Chun folded his arms while puffing out his chest with his proud weapon in his arms.


    After winning the sword at the auction, he was inseparable from that mysterious and powerful sword. Everyone thought this sword was an ordinary Spirit Grade sword but Zhu Chun found it was not that simple.


    It only took one sh and everything was cut neatly, he had cut a lot of obstacles after going around the route he made the moment he entered the hidden realm, he nned to explore all corners of the hidden realm.


    "Hehe, thank you for your help, Young Master Zhu. We also get a lot, thank you for our group agreement." Qiu Jing gives a happy thanks, he was the man who was scammed by Feng Wuhan to pay for his meal at the restaurant two days ago.


    "It''s nothing, Brother Qiu. We are now in a group of twelve people who originally consisted of four different groups. We cooperate with each other for mutual benefit hehe... Nobody is harmed, everyone is happy, no need to worry." Zhu Chun happily patted his new friend on the back, they had already been adventuring for a day together in the hidden realm.


    After that, the twelve people continued their light conversation with jokes and were asionally filled withbat strategies, they were apanied by threerge lions who followed from the side.


    *Grr!*


    *Swoosh*


    The three golden lions growled as if they suddenly felt threatened as a figure fell from the sky right near them and produced smoky dust covering the figure that had just fallen from the sky.


    The twelve people immediately got ready into their formation like before when facing the beasts that were stronger than them. If cooperating with reason, they would definitely be able to subdue the beasts one or two realms above them.


    As the smog subsided, a person who Zhu Chun knew very well appeared, and the worn-out clothes that were still the same became absolute and inevitable assurance.


    "Hey, a poor slum. Where did you fall from?" Zhu Chun snapped at the person who always opposed him.


    "Oh? You frail and fake young master, huh? Is this brat destined to always face that person, hmm..."


    Jin Jun stroked his chin while looking at the twelve people who were somewhat relieved for some reason and the three lions who were still growling as if they were threatened by him.


    "Hey, Goldie, and bros. Why do you keep growling, that guy is just a loser, oh are you surprised that a doubting guy suddenly fell near us?" Zhu Chun stroked his beloved golden lion, which never stopped growling with its stance ready to attack.


    "Vige bum, are you lost?"


    "Oh no, maybe he was thrown from somewhere because he wasn''t considered appropriate anywhere."


    The two men joined in scolding Jin Jun, he did not answer but only grinned when he saw the prospective corpse ying aedy opera.


    "Ah! You gave us so little information but asked us to pay for your enormous meal! You scammed me and my brothers!" Qiu Jing pointed in dissatisfaction with an irritated snort.


    "The trickiest thing is that you deceive beginners like us. Fortunately, we met Young Master Zhu, otherwise... I don''t know anymore, the point is our money ran out because of you!"


    "Right, right!"


    Disciples from the Graceful de Sect who were scammed by Feng Wuhan started grumbling one by one, they didn''t know the person they wereining about was different and only the vessel was the same.


    The other six cultivators who had joined the group didn''t understand what was going on and were only watching from the side.


    They came from different sects and decided to go on a joint exploration because they felt it would be more beneficial to go with a proper group.


    "Are you done singing, weakling?" Jin Jun gave a wicked grin.


    "Weakling? You''re the weak one! I''ve been thinking about teaching you a valuable lesson that you will never forget in your life! Aro, Garo, teach him a lesson." Zhu Chun feels triggered when he gets insulted again by the person he has put on his hate list.


    "Yes, young master."


    The twopanions and protectors of Zhu Chun immediately executed his orders. They used their Nascent spirit power just to teach some lessons to this foolish man who had deliberately offended their young master over and over again.


    Aro and Garo used their fists that were wrapped in condensed spirit power and then dashed right beside Jin Jun who didn''t move at all. The two of them just thought this stupid man couldn''t respond to their attacks in time.


    "me it on your ancestors, young man."


    "You''ve offended people you shouldn''t offend."


    That was thest sentence the two of them uttered before letting their fist fists dart rapidly towards Jin Jun''s chest and face. They nned to turn this stupid man into a cripple with a crushed face.


    Unfortunately, their intentions didn''t go ording to n. Just before their fists met their target, their necks were choked with a very strong grip.


    "Gah!"


    Aro and Garo immediately lost their spiritual power and couldn''t resist when they were choked and lifted with Jin Jun''s two hands.


    "You are all weakling, and always have been. Be obedient and be my nutrition. I grant you the honor of being my first stepping stone in my return to the world!" The vile smile on Jin Jun''s face widened even further as ck energy began to envelop his hands.


    "Argh!"


    Aro and Garo who was still hanging in the air unable to resist received direct contact from the ck and vicious energy. Hysterical screams were thrown from both mouths of the person who was given the honor as nutrition.


    Their whole bodies were gnawed at by the ck energy until only bones remained before being crushed by Jin Jun''s grip.


    The ten people who saw it all gawked with scared faces and at a loss for words, but one word immediately came to their minds with an emergency warning, ''run!''.


    "Aah!"


    "Run!"


    The two girls in thebined group who first responded with screams, the two of them immediately fled with all their strength.


    "Keke..." Jin Jun just chuckled creepily and immediately darted and knocked a girl who ran with one hand squeezed her neck tight.


    "Ugh!" The girl who fell down with her neck strangled could not say anything else after that because ck energy immediately enveloped her and gnawed her quickly into bone dust.


    "Yes, the feeling of a virgin girl who is scared and desperate is the best. Oops, no one can escape from me." Jin Jun then saw one runaway girl who immediately changed the direction of her escape when her friend was knocked down and became his nutrition.


    "Uwah!" The girl who was running away with all her strength couldn''t fight back. She teary-eyed quickly looked at Jin Jun as ck energy began to envelop her.


    "Please, I will do anything for you. Let me live to serve you." The girl pleaded with great fear, not caring about her pride.
