"Water Sword Immortal! He's the Northern Sea Water Sword Immortal, Lu Tianping!"
Lu Ping was slightly startled. He saw that the person who cried out in surprise was the cultivator with the highest cultivation level among the people he rescued earlier.
When the others heard that the person in front of them was actually the famous Northern Sea Water Sword Immortal, they also revealed astonished expressions. Obviously, they weren't unfamiliar with Lu Ping's name. Only Liu Yongchang's expression remained calm, as if he already knew who the person in front of him was. Among the crowd of excited cultivators, he was somewhat conspicuous.
Lu Ping inadvertently glanced at Liu Yongchang and smiled at the peak Core Forging cultivator. "May I ask how I should address Fellow Daoist? I'm Northern Sea Water Sword Immortal, Lu Tianping. Since Fellow Daoist knows me, are you also a Northern Sea cultivator?"
The cultivator cast a strange glance at Liu Yongchang and hastily saluted. "I don't dare to be addressed as such by Tianping Laozu. Junior isn't a Northern Sea cultivator. I'm Nie Sheng, a disciple of the Eastern Sea's Zixia Sect. Tianping Laozu's name has shaken the overseas cultivation world. He's a first-class existence among the third generation cultivators. Junior was fortunate enough to see a portrait of Senior's appearance that was circulated in the Eastern Sea, so I recognize you."
Lu Ping also recognized the Eastern Sea's Zixia Sect. It was a medium-sized cultivation sect in the Eastern Sea. Like Zhenling, it was one of the twenty-five medium-sized cultivation sects in the spirit stone vein on the Five Islands of Phantom Spirit. However, the strength of this Zixia Sect was slightly inferior to Zhenling. Among the twenty-five medium-sized cultivation sects, it could still be considered a rather powerful cultivation sect.
Lu Ping chuckled and said, "So it turns out to be Brother Nie from Zixia Sect. Presumably, Brother Nie is also a third generation disciple of your noble sect. You and I are of the same generation. Calling me Senior instead makes me feel uncomfortable all over!"
Nie Sheng didn't expect Lu Ping to be so easy to talk to, so he couldn't help but relax a lot. He also smiled and said, "In that case, I'll also call you Brother Lu."
Seeing Nie Sheng like this, several people also stepped forward to salute Lu Ping. These people were actually third-generation cultivators from the twenty-five cultivation sects. Among them, two were from the Eastern Sea, and two were from the Southern Sea. In the end, only Liu Yongchang, who suggested taking this opportunity to escape, was left.
Everyone looked at him. Nie Sheng's lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end.
The crowd's silence increased the pressure on Liu Yongchang. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward to salute Lu Ping. "I am Liu Yongchang from the Cang Hai Sect.
Everyone's silence greatly increased the pressure on Liu Yongchang. He had no choice but to brace himself and step forward to salute Lu Ping. He said, "I'm Liu Yongchang from Azure Sea Sect. Greetings, Brother Lu!"
Liu Yongchang's expression turned awkward. Little did he know that Lu Ping had already seen through his plan to escape during his battle with the blood demon. Liu Yongchang's expression turned awkward.
Originally, Lu Ping held Liu Yongchang in contempt, but after hearing that he was a cultivator from Azure Sea Sect, he somewhat understood. This guy didn't completely want to escape. Most likely, he wanted to avoid Lu Ping.
Currently, everyone in the Northern Sea cultivation world knew about the situation between Azure Sea Sect and Zhenling. Jiang Tianlin had chased after Zhang Xiyi for several years, and Zhang Xiyi had fled to the Eastern Sea in defeat. However, not long after, there were rumors that Lu Tianping had received Jiang Tianlin's decree and arrived in the Eastern Sea. Most likely, he was here for Zhang Xiyi.
Whether this rumor was true or not, Liu Yongchang was unwilling to face Lu Ping. Moreover, he had been saved by Lu Ping from Mara, so he was at a loss in front of Lu Ping.
Just as Liu Yongchang was panicking, Lu Ping suddenly asked, "When will Senior Zhang Xiyi arrive at Phantom City?"
Liu Yongchang was startled and said, "How did you know …"
Liu Yongchang's expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly stopped talking, but it was already too late. He only heard Lu Ping say with a smile, "Senior Zhang's speed is indeed faster than mine. I just don't know if there are any more Azure Sea Sect disciples like Brother Liu who have fallen into the sixth line of defense. Otherwise, I'm afraid your sect won't be able to afford to lose them. Senior Zhang might even take the risk to come out and save them."
Liu Yongchang's expression was filled with hatred. Hearing this, he immediately raised his head and said, "You, you actually knew about me?"
Lu Ping shook his head and said, "Although I haven't met you, I have heard of Brother Liu's name for a long time. After all, the 'Eight Sons of Azure Sea' have long been famous in the Northern Sea!"
Liu Yongchang was restrained in front of Lu Ping, so he simply snorted coldly and said, "I can't compare to Brother Lu!"
Nie Sheng, who was at the side, also understood at this time that these two sects of the Northern Sea were obviously not on good terms. However, at this time, everyone still needed the protection of Lu Ping, the Dharma Idol Laozu, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Brother Lu's reputation is naturally unquestionable. He is an existence that even Wu Shihuan of the Crystal Palace and Yuwen Feixiang of the Central Plains greatly admire. I just don't know if Brother Lu is going to Phantom City this time. If so, can you let us go with Brother Lu?"
The others also understood the situation at this time and said one after another, "Brother Nie is right. Brother Lu's name has long resounded in our ears. If we can go with Brother Lu this time, we will all be honored!"
Liu Yongchang was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only force himself to remain silent.
Lu Ping smiled and nodded, then asked, "That's good. Brother Nie is also going to Phantom City, but Mara actually chased you all the way here. Could it be that there's a problem with the sixth line of defense?"
Nie Sheng and the others looked at each other, and could not help but look a little dejected.
Seeing that Lu Ping did not understand, in the end, it was Nie Sheng who explained what had happened to Lu Ping.
Lu Ping's expression suddenly changed. He said, "What? The sixth line of defense did not even hold for a day, and both the Jade Shura and the Asura attacked?"
Nie Sheng nodded and said, "Only a small number of people managed to escape back to Phantom City through the teleporter. Most of them either died or fled in all directions. Just based on the news I heard, there were at least four or five Dharma adepts who died. Now, Mara's army is on the sea surrounding the fleeing adepts, and the seventh line of defense of Phantom City is about to be completed. If we do not reach Phantom City before the encirclement is complete, I'm afraid we can only wait for Mara's encirclement."
Lu Ping's expression was dark. He opened his hand and threw out a treasure that looked like a small boat. The treasure expanded in mid-air, and it turned into a small boat that could fit a few people. It was the boat that Lu Ping had not used in a long time.
Lu Ping stepped into the boat and said coldly, "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
Nie Sheng and the others were stunned at first, then overjoyed. They all stepped into the boat. Liu Yongchang hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he was the last to step into the boat. The boat rose into the air, leaving a blue trail in mid-air, and then disappeared into the horizon.
In the boat, Lu Ping's expression was very ugly. He had not thought that the situation would be this bad. At this time, even the road to Phantom City was filled with danger. Even if he managed to break through Mara's encirclement and enter Phantom City, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to Phantom City for a while. Furthermore, if there was a way to return, the great adepts of the various sects would use the excuse of concentrating their strength to protect the Five Islands of Phantom City and gather all the forces on the islands.
Lu Ping forced himself to calm down and swallowed a spirit pill. He slowly recovered the Divine Will that he had used in the battle with the Blood Demon.
Originally, it would not have been difficult for Lu Ping to defeat the Blood Demon. The reason why he had gone through so much trouble was because Lu Ping wanted to test the power of the Genchen Pearl after it had fused with the Jade Phosphorus Soul Fire.
In reality, this effect did not disappoint Lu Ping. After Lu Ping used his powerful Divine Will as bait to set up this trap, the Jade Phosphorus Soul Fire was able to break the Blood Demon's Soul Devouring Divine Will and cause it to backfire, burning the Blood Demon to death.
Recently, Lu Ping was very satisfied with the crystal-like spiritual treasure. Although the spiritual treasure had perished when Mara had died, Lu Ping had still managed to absorb a lot of the Soul Origin of the spiritual treasure through the Genchen Pearl that had fused with the Jade Phosphorus Soul Fire before it had completely perished.
Although the Soul Origin of the spiritual treasure was not even a quarter of the spiritual treasure, Lu Ping could still sense that as the Jade Phosphorus Soul Fire gradually turned the Soul Origin of the spiritual treasure into its own, the quality of the Genchen Pearl would be greatly improved. The eighth restriction would be completed before the other eleven Genchen Pearls, and the speed at which the ninth restriction would be condensed would also be greatly accelerated.
Other than that, there was also the Great Shura leading the group of Demonic Asuras. It was obvious that this Great Shura was on the verge of becoming a Blood Shura. The Great Shura's essence had already reached the critical point. The reason why Lu Ping had risked his life to surround Nie Sheng and the others during the battle with the Blood Demons was most likely because of the blood essence in their bodies.
What Lu Ping had originally valued was the water-attribute Essence Qi of this Great Asura. Although it was not as pure and thick as the Blood Asura's, and could not play any role in improving Lu Ping's own cultivation, it could be used to nourish the Thin Water Flowing Sword, which had been damaged in the previous two battles.
The Thin Water Flowing Sword was a top-notch spirit-nurturing magic treasure that had condensed nine Treasure Restrictions. After the two swords were combined and used by Lu Ping, their power was even not inferior to that of an ordinary first-tribulation spiritual treasure.
But the quality of the Thin Water Flowing Sword was still inferior to that of a real spiritual treasure. Whether it was the previous battle with the Three-headed Blood Demon Mara, or the previous move with Chu Haitian, they were all clashes of strength that could not be taken lightly. But the other party's hands, without exception, were all genuine spiritual treasures. In this way, the difference in quality between the Thin Water Flowing Sword and the Three-headed Blood Demon Sword was reflected.
If Lu Ping's Real Essence had not been pure and explosive enough to make up for the shortcomings of the Thin Water Flowing Sword, perhaps the damage to this pair of flying swords would not have been able to be recovered by Lu Ping through the nourishment of the Essence Qi of the water attribute.
Fortunately, Lu Ping's luck was good. After the Great Asura died, it left behind its accompanying magic treasure. This was a companion magic treasure that was about to be promoted to a spiritual treasure. Compared to the Essence Qi emitted after the Great Asura's death, the Thin Water Flowing Sword was undoubtedly more suitable for the Thin Water Flowing Sword.
At this time, this companion magic treasure, which could become a spirit-nurturing magic treasure after being modified by a craftsman, had already turned into a pool of Essence Qi in Linglong's wine tripod. The Thin Water Flowing Sword was like a pair of swimming fish, playing in this pool of essence.
