"So your husband was killed by Huang Shijun and others who ambushed him after he was defeated by Wu Shihuan?"
"That's right!"
Chu Hailan's expression did not change in the slightest as she said, "Although my husband fled in defeat, that Wu Shihuan might not have had it easy either. It's just that I didn't think that the mighty direct lineage cultivator of the Crystal Palace would be so despicable, actually setting up an ambush along the way. That husband of mine was already heavily injured in the first place, so how could he have withstood Huang Shijun's ambush? In the end, he still perished. Instead, Huang Shijun became famous after he single-handedly slew my husband!"
Lu Ping saw that Chu Hailan had chased him from the East Sea to the Central Region, and then to the North Sea. It could be seen that the relationship between the couple was very deep. However, Lu Ping couldn't feel the grief of her husband's death from Chu Hailan. From the beginning to the end, Chu Hailan told Lu Ping the process as if it was an unrelated story.
Although Lu Ping was full of doubts, it was not appropriate for him to ask, so he inevitably showed his doubts on his face.
Chu Hailan was so smart that she had already understood what Lu Ping was thinking. She said, "Do you feel that I'm very indifferent to my husband's death, but chasing him for thousands of miles seems contradictory?"
Lu Ping felt embarrassed that Chu Hailan had seen through his thoughts. However, what he was doing now was like walking on the edge of a bottomless abyss, so he couldn't afford to be careless. So, although he seemed hesitant, he still nodded.
A trace of worry appeared on Chu Hailan's face as she said, "There's nothing I can do about it. My husband and I aren't actually married. Furthermore, our marriage was decided by our elders. I've only met my husband three to five times, so how could we have feelings for each other?"
Lu Ping asked curiously, "In that case, why are you so eager to avenge him?"
Chu Hailan smiled bitterly, "It all started because of me. When I was traveling in human form, Wu Shihuan came to pester me because he coveted my beauty. He chased me all the way to the Outer Endless Sea. I was no match for Wu Shihuan, so I could only use my clan's secret technique to ask for help. Coincidentally, my fiancé came looking for me, and we fought a great battle when we met. However, I didn't expect that my transformation technique, which I thought was brilliant, would be seen through by Wu Shihuan. He set up a trap to lure my husband here. After I was entangled by Ma Shifang, my husband was defeated by Wu Shihuan, and he was killed by Huang Shijun on the way to escape."
Chu Hailan paused and continued, "Ma Shifang's strength was similar to mine. When I saw my husband being defeated, I naturally escaped. Fortunately, Wu Shihuan was also injured, so I was able to escape unscathed. However, when I returned to the clan, I was reprimanded by the Water Snake Clan. They thought that it was because of me that my husband died. My Fire Snake Clan is weak to begin with. When the two clans united by marriage, we also asked for help from the Water Snake Clan. Now, things have backfired. I can only use the excuse of avenging my husband to travel for many years in order to avoid the disputes within the clan."
Lu Ping didn't expect Chu Hailan to have such an experience. But to be able to fight Wu Shihuan to such an extent, it seemed like her fiancé's status in the Water Snake Clan wasn't low. Otherwise, the Emerald Sea Spirit Snake Clan wouldn't have vented their anger on Chu Hailan because of her fiancé's death.
At this time, Lu Ping didn't know what to say, but he was still a little nervous. With Chu Hailan's current situation among the Green Sea Snakes, would she still be able to help Samling obtain the inheritance?
Chu Hailan seemed to be able to understand Lu Ping's thoughts. Seeing that Lu Ping didn't speak, she quickly guessed his thoughts again. She asked, "Are you worried about Samling's inheritance?"
Lu Ping was a little vulnerable to this woman's intuition, so he could only nod and admit it.
Chu Hailan smiled and said, "With the qualifications and strength of these three little guys, you should not be worried about whether they can accept the inheritance, but whether you can bring them out after accepting the inheritance!"
Lu Ping heard the meaning in Chu Hailan's heart and said in surprise, "Is there really a way?"
Chu Hailan nodded and said, "This is also what I admire about you. Samling grew up with you, and you were able to resist the temptation of the Green Sea Snakes. From the beginning to the end, you didn't put any restriction on their divine thoughts, making them your spiritual slaves. Instead, you and Samling are like father and son. This is your biggest opportunity!"
Lu Ping was delighted and asked quickly, "What do you mean?"
"Followers!"
Chu Hailan explained, "At the time when the Seventh Ancestor opened the sky, the concept of the Human and Demon Races was extremely vague. The Seventh Ancestor himself might have been a member of the Demon Race. Later on, even though there were differences between the two races, the relationship between the two races was still equal. Many of the ancient almighty people simply abandoned the concept of race. At that time, the almighty people had many followers. The almighty people of the Human Race had many followers of the Demon Race, and the almighty people of the Demon Race also had many followers of the Human Race. These followers even became the embryonic form of the Human Race's sects. At that time, the almighty people treated their followers as equals, without discrimination. However, later on, the human heart became more complex, and the demon heart also became more transparent. Thus, this kind of follower, which was built on trust, changed into a method of slavery that controlled the life and death of the almighty people.
Lu Ping seemed to understand a little and said, "That is to say …"
"That is to say, as long as Samling admits that he is your follower and is not forced by you, this matter will be considered half done!"
"Half?"
Chu Hailan nodded and said, "Yes, half. After all, Samling was born in the Green Sea Snake and has a pure bloodline. He is considered one of the best rising stars among the Green Sea Snakes. Do you think the big shots in the clan will be willing to let such an excellent junior follow you, a human?"
Lu Ping couldn't help but ask, "Then what should I do?"
Chu Hailan giggled and said, "That depends on whether you have the strength. As Samling's follower, you must have the strength to protect your own follower when necessary. If you can't provide this kind of protection yourself, how can others rest assured to let their juniors follow you?"
Chu Hailan then changed his tone and said, "Of course, with your reputation as the North Sea Water Sword Celestial, the big shots in the clan will look up to you."
Lu Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly. The big shots in the Green Sea Snake clan only needed to think about the strength of the Crystal Palace to understand why he would be looked up to by these big shots.
After Lu Ping roughly told Jiang Tianlin and Laozu about Chu Hailan's matter, the next day, he received a transmission jade slip from Celestial Phenomenon Laozu and Liu Tianling Laozu. However, other than asking about the recent battle situation with Mara on Scarlet Mist Island, there was nothing else mentioned.
Jiang Tianlin showed the jade slip to Lu Ping, and Lu Ping immediately understood. He ordered Chu Hailan to find Ai Shuyao, who was hiding in a secret place, and cast a secret invisibility technique on the two of them. They traveled unimpeded all the way to Tianling Mountain.
Along the way, the detection restrictions in the various Zhenling arrays were not triggered at all, and the few Dharma adepts also ignored it. As for the other Core Forging adepts, how could they see through Lu Ping's secret technique? When the teleportation array was activated, and after a flash of light, the three of them were already on Jing Zhe Island.
"Bastard, you're courting death!"
As soon as Lu Ping and the other two arrived on Jing Zhe Island, they heard Tiankang Laozu's earth-shattering roar, followed by a shocking murderous intent that swept through the entire island.
Chu Hailan had already known beforehand that there was an extremely strong mid Dharma adept from Zhen Ling Sect stationed on Jing Zhe Island. When she heard Patriarch Tian Kang's sudden shout, she instinctively circulated all the inner Yuan in her body. Her aura was just as strong and violent, which gave Patriarch Tian Kang a fright. The murderous aura that filled the sky instantly froze.
Lu Ping, on the other hand, knew that this was a misunderstanding, but there was no time to explain now. In a flash, he had already disappeared. At this time, Chu Hailan also knew that she had made a mistake, and she hurriedly retracted her aura. However, her soaring demonic aura could no longer be concealed. Tiankang Laozu, who was originally about to leave the island, turned around and charged towards Chu Hailan.
Ji Xuanxuan stuffed the last top-grade spirit stone into the wooden bird puppet beneath his feet. The wooden bird, which was originally dispirited and unpracticed, glowed brightly. It flapped its wings more nimbly, and its speed instantly doubled. Ji Xuanxuan's heart was bleeding.
Ji Xuan Xuan's heart was bleeding. The three top-grade spirit stones he had were obtained from Lu Ping after wasting half a kilogram of saliva. He didn't expect that the three top-grade spirit stones would be wasted on the short journey from Hearing Waves Island to Jing Zhe Island.
This was not what made Ji Xuanxuan's heart ache the most. What pained him the most was the wooden bird puppet beneath his feet. It should be known that the wings of this wooden bird puppet were made from the branches and leaves that Ji Xuanxuan had saved from the Grey Willow Tree when he was creating Lu Ping's avatar. Needless to say, it was impossible for it to escape so far under the pursuit of a Blood Shura. However, this puppet had already reached its limit under Ji Xuanxuan's continuous overloading, and was already on the verge of becoming useless. He could only hope that it could persevere until Jing Zhe Island. Otherwise, not only would he lose his life, even Soundwaves Island would probably be completely slaughtered.
A blood-red light was getting closer and closer behind Ji Xuanxuan. Ji Xuanxuan could see the hideous smile on the Blood Shura's face hidden in the blood-red light.
Ji Xuanxuan had no choice but to release the last spirit snake puppet on him, hoping that it could buy him some time. Jing Zhe Island was only a few hundred kilometers away.
"Explode!"
Ji Xuanxuan's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing that the spine of the spirit snake puppet made from a branch of the Grey Willow Tree could not withstand more than two or three blows from the Blood Shura, Ji Xuanxuan gritted his teeth and detonated the puppet.
Boom!
The spirit snake puppet exploded, and the spine of the Grey Willow Tree turned into twelve bone spikes that shot towards the Blood Shura. Ji Xuanxuan's face paled, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the back of the puppet bird beneath his feet.
Jing Zhe Island was finally close, but before Ji Xuanxuan could reveal the slightest hint of joy, the Blood Shura suddenly broke through the blockade of the twelve bone spikes and chased after Ji Xuanxuan a few hundred meters away. The Primordial Spirit Treasure in his hand flew out, turning into a flying wheel that slashed towards Ji Xuanxuan's back.
