A few days later.
Xia Ping had completely consolidated his Sempiternal realm cultivation and integrated his skyrocketing power. He had finally ended his closed-door cultivation and had benefited a lot from it.
He knew that the Sempiternal realm was divided into three minor realms: primary, middle, and advanced. Right now, his cultivation should be at the primary level of the Sempiternal realm.
However, these three minor realms were only the difference in magic power and soul power. The difference between them was not very big. Anyone could advance to the advanced level of the Sempiternal realm as long as they had enough time to cultivate.
However, in terms of combat power, he could defeat anyone in the Sempiternal realm and even fight with the Sages of the ancient times.
Whoosh!
At this time, Xia Ping had also returned to the Illusion Realm's treasury from the space of the Pearl of Mountains and Rivers and exchanged places with Korin. Nothing major had happened in the past ten days. It had been peaceful.
In fact, no forces had come to attack the Illusion Realm. It was as if nothing had happened.
However, he also knew that this must be the calm before the storm, and such peace could not last for too long.
"Korin, is there any news from the Human Race recently?"
Xia Ping asked. He knew that if the Human Race wanted to attack the Illusion Race, it would be impossible for them to keep quiet. If there were any clues, they should be able to detect it.
"There is no particularly big news. Speaking of which, there is really one. Recently, it seems that the Patriarch of the Human Race plans to hold a Sage Dao Discussion Conference and invited the Sages of all races to participate. This matter has caused a lot of commotion and has spread to many races in the universe. Many Sages plan to participate."
Korin remembered this matter.
"Dao Discussion Conference? Yes, it is a very smart move. This is a covert strategy. "
Hearing this, Xia Ping's eyes suddenly lit up.
If the Human Race acted secretly, the Illusion Race, who had extremely good intelligence, would definitely find out something fishy. However, if they acted with great fanfare, this was an overt plot, and the Illusion Race would not be vigilant.
Because a Sage Dao Discussion Conference like this was rare, but it was not non-existent. The Sages of the Illusion Race would not think that there was anything wrong with this matter.
After all, they would never have thought that the Human Race would use this Dao Discussion Conference as an excuse to secretly mobilize their forces to attack the Illusion Realm.
If this matter wasn't orchestrated by him, he probably wouldn't have thought so much about it. He would have thought that it was just an ordinary Dao discussion and wouldn't have thought of other aspects.
It was likely that the Sages of the various races who were attracted here would not have thought of this. Clearly, the higher-ups of the Human Race were deceiving even their own people. Only the core higher-ups would know about this plan.
"When will the Dao Discussion Conference be held?"
Xia Ping asked.
"It will be held in three days."
Korin replied.
"Three days later? Looks like I'll be able to leave this place very soon. This time, I must seize the opportunity to make a killing. " Xia Ping was certain that the Dao discussion would be held in three days, so the Human Race's attack might be three days later. Even if it was a little later, it wouldn't be too long.
At the thought of this, he immediately cultivated with peace of mind and waited for the Human Race to attack the illusion realm.
…
At this time, outside the courtyard where Xia Ping lived, a few sneaky figures appeared. Their faces were gloomy as they stared at the tightly shut door, unwilling to give up.
"Damn it, what's going on with this Barty? He's been cultivating in the courtyard for more than ten days, but he hasn't come out even once. Does he like to cultivate so much? Doesn't he need to rest? Doesn't he know what it means to strike a balance between work and rest? "One of the figures was very unwilling, gnashing his teeth.
"Yeah, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to deal with this Barty and kill him, but I didn't expect that bastard to not give us any chance at all. If this continues, we won't be able to complete our mission at all. When the time comes, we'll incur Saint Minerva's wrath and all of us will be executed. "
Another voice also sounded. Clearly, he was from the Lainster family.
"No, we can't continue like this. If he stays in the outer hall of the treasury, we won't be able to find an opportunity to attack him. There's a powerful restrictive formation here. Any movement will be discovered by the guards here. When the time comes, we'll die without a burial place."
"Yeah, we can't carry out assassinations here. When the time comes, not only will we not be able to kill Barty, but our identities will also be exposed and we'll be executed by the guards here."
"But this won't do, and that won't do. Are we just going to watch this bastard roam free in this treasury?"
The few figures discussed and gritted their teeth, but they couldn't find any way to deal with Xia Ping.
"No, perhaps there's a way, but we'll have to pay a huge price."
Someone suddenly said.
"What way? Let's hear it. No matter what the price is, it doesn't matter. "
The others said in a low voice.
"I heard that the deputy of the treasury's outer hall, Fayne, is a very greedy Immortal Saint. If we pay the price, perhaps we can ask him to kill that Barty."
That person said.
What?!
The few of them were shocked. They finally knew what the huge price was. If they asked an Immortal Saint to take action, they wouldn't be able to move the Immortal Saint if they didn't take out enough treasures.
"Although the price is high, I think it's all worth it. If Deputy Temple Master Finn had taken action, he could've killed Barty within the scope of the rules. Moreover, he could've gotten all of us out of this mess."
That person glanced at the others.
The few of them glanced at each other and saw the determination in each other's eyes.
"You're right. If we ask Deputy Fayne to take action, killing Barty will be as easy as flipping a hand."
"Although the price of asking an Immortal Saint to take action is huge, if we go against the Ancestor's orders, then the price will be even bigger. All of us will die."
"There's no other way. It's all that b * tch Barty's fault. He caused so much trouble for us and brought shame to the Linester family. This guy must die. Otherwise, where will our family's dignity go?"
"So be it. Fortunately, we destroyed a few human kingdoms and obtained a lot of treasures. We can give them to Fayne as a gift. I believe with so many treasures in hand, Fayne won't refuse."
The few Linester family members discussed. Their hearts ached. They felt that giving away so many treasures was like someone was cutting off their flesh. The pain was unbearable.
However, in order to kill Barty, they had no other choice.
Thinking of this, they hated Barty even more. They wanted nothing more than to cut him into pieces.
