Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 548 Secret Manual

He quickly looked at the jade slip in his hand, only to find that it was completely blank, and the content he had just read had disappeared.

"What's going on? How come all the content I saw has vanished!" Xu Yao looked at Liu Ming with a horrified expression, his face pale, after seeing the blank jade slip in his hand.

He couldn't fathom how Liu Ming had managed to take the jade slip; the method sent chills down his spine.

"Old Liu, what exactly happened?" Xu Yao asked Liu Ming in a trembling voice.

"Elder Xu, this is the secret manual I just mastered. The contents of this manual are extremely precious, so I don't want others to know about it."

"Especially those people in your family! That's why I temporarily sealed this manual using a secret technique." Liu Ming explained calmly.

After hearing Liu Ming's explanation, Xu Yao's face showed a look of sudden realization.

"That's it, I understand!"

"Alright, Mr. Xu, we still have a lot to do. Let's go out now," Liu Ming said to Xu Yao.

"Okay, let's go out then," Xu Yao nodded and said.

Liu Ming and Xu Yao walked out of the inn side by side, and then he led Xu Yao away into the distance.

The two quickly left the town.

"Old Liu, why did you bring me here?" Xu Yao asked Liu Ming.

"You'll find out soon enough!" Liu Ming said.

Upon hearing Liu Ming's words, Xu Yao's face showed a look of confusion, but he did not ask any further questions. He believed that as long as Liu Ming was there, all problems would be solved.

The two soon left the city lord's mansion.

After leaving the city lord's mansion, Xu Yao couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

"Old Liu, where are we going?" Xu Yao asked Liu Ming curiously.

"Old Xu, you'll find out soon enough!" Liu Ming said calmly.

"Old Liu, what's going on? Where are you taking me?" Xu Yao asked anxiously.

Seeing Xu Yao's eager expression, Liu Ming smiled slightly and said calmly, "Old Xu, don't worry, you'll find out soon enough."

After saying that, Liu Ming took Xu Yao for a stroll on the street, enjoying the scenery as they walked.

After walking around for an hour, Xu Yao suddenly felt a huge energy rushing towards the two of them.

He immediately stopped and looked up at the sky.

Upon seeing the enormous vortex in the sky, Xu Yao was stunned. He knew that it was the energy of the teleportation array.

"This is Elder Liu's spatial teleportation array. Elder Liu, where are you sending me?" Xu Yao asked in shock.

"Old Xu, now you know!" Liu Ming said calmly.

Upon hearing Liu Ming's words, Xu Yao's face showed shock.

"Old Liu, what exactly are you trying to do? We're still quite a distance from here to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to run there like this?" Xu Yao asked, frowning.

"Old Xu, don't worry. You are much stronger than me. We are now in the same boat. I will definitely protect your safety!" Liu Ming said calmly.

Upon hearing Liu Ming's words, Xu Yao's face showed a bitter expression, and he felt somewhat depressed.

He was very clear about Liu Ming's strength. If Liu Ming were to take him to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, his life would probably be in great danger.

Because he didn't think he could be Liu Ming's match.

"Forget it, since Old Liu has already decided to take me to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, there's no point in refusing him again!" Xu Yao thought to himself and couldn't help but sigh.

"In that case, let's hurry up and leave! Otherwise, we'll be in danger when those monsters go berserk!" Xu Yao said to Liu Ming.

As soon as Xu Yao finished speaking, he immediately activated his magical artifact and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

After Xu Yao disappeared, Liu Ming immediately activated his magical artifact, and then Liu Ming and Xu Yao appeared on the teleportation array.

After they left the teleportation array, they soon found themselves in a desolate desert.

"Old Xu, we're out now. You'll have to walk the rest of the way on your own. This place isn't far from the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, but the journey is extremely dangerous. You must be extra careful!" Liu Ming instructed.

"Old Liu, I understand. You don't need to worry about me. I'll take good care of myself. You should hurry up and enter the teleportation array, just in case something unexpected happens later," Xu Yao said to Liu Ming.

"Alright! Be careful by yourself!" Liu Ming instructed Xu Yao.

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu, I will definitely not be in any danger," Xu Yao assured him, patting his chest.

Hearing Xu Yao's words, Liu Ming nodded, and then his figure flashed as he entered the teleportation array.

Soon Liu Ming disappeared from the teleportation array, and Xu Yao also disappeared from the teleportation array, having entered it as well.

As soon as Xu Yao entered the teleportation array, he was enveloped by intense energy. Then, he felt his body being pulled by a mysterious force.

Then he felt as if his soul had left his body and was moving towards a certain place.

Xu Yao knew that he had entered a teleportation array, and now he was going to an endless desolate place.

With a whooshing sound, Xu Yao's body suddenly appeared on a plain.

Looking at the desolate land around him, Xu Yao's face showed a solemn expression.

He knew he was lucky, but now he felt a sudden unease.

He had no idea what kind of danger he had encountered this time.

But now that he's here, he has to face it bravely.

Xu Yao took a deep breath, glanced around, and then strode forward.

Although he was feeling a little uneasy, he had no choice but to face it now.

After all, he was now kidnapped, and he had no way to deal with the situation, so he could only do as Liu Ming instructed.

Thinking of this, Xu Yao quickened his pace and walked forward, while also keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings.

He felt sharp gazes fixed on him from all around, and if he made any unusual moves, these people would definitely attack him.

He knew that these people were all quite strong, and that they were all advanced Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Faced with so many advanced late-stage Foundation Establishment experts, he was like an ant, utterly powerless to resist.

Xu Yao walked for almost half a day and finally arrived in front of a huge stone tablet.

The stone tablet is hundreds of feet tall, and a layer of gray mist shrouds the entire tablet, giving people a very mysterious and oppressive feeling.

The stone tablet was surrounded by people.

Xu Yao's eyes lit up when he saw so many people. He hadn't expected to encounter so many cultivators as soon as he arrived. This was beyond his expectations.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Just then, a young man dressed in black walked towards Xu Yao from the front.
