"That's impossible! You're just asking our sect to die!"
Zhang Xiyi growled in a low voice.
"Die? I'm afraid your Blue Sea Sect has been plotting this for a long time. In the North Sea world of practitioners, your sect has been constantly suppressed by Zhenling. How many spirit stones does your sect have left? I'm just taking advantage of the situation to give you a chance! "
In the darkness, Zhang Xiyi's expression could not be seen clearly. However, The Friar could imagine the shock on Zhang Xiyi's face as he tried his best to control it.
After a while, Zhang Xiyi's slightly tired voice came from the darkness again. "How did you know? How would you give us a chance? "
The Friar's proud laughter came from the darkness. However, he ignored Zhang Xiyi's first question and said directly, "Our people have already discovered Mara's unusual movements. Perhaps they will give up on Phantom City and turn to the other four islands to test the waters. Perhaps that will be your chance!"
Zhang Xiyi naturally knew that he wouldn't get anything out of the first question, which was also what made Zhang Xiyi terrified. However, when he heard the mysterious cultivator's words, he still revealed a shocked expression and said, "The Devil Luo is wreaking havoc outside the island, but you actually have a source of information. Who are you people?"
The mysterious practitioner seemed to enjoy the feeling of Zhang Xiyi being toyed with in the palm of his hand. He laughed and said, "Why ask such useless questions? When the opportunity comes, with your intelligence, you will naturally grasp it. If you have this spare time, why don't you think about your sect's friend Wang Xiqing? I believe he has already passed his first Thunder Trial and has become a mid Dharma adept?"
Zhang Xiyi suddenly stood up, and the killing intent that he had been trying to restrain before could no longer be controlled. A fierce aura burst out towards the person in front of him like a tsunami. The formations and prohibitions in the secret chamber constantly glowed with various colors, but they still couldn't stop Zhang Xiyi's furious aura. Continuous crisp sounds came from all around the secret chamber. It wouldn't be long before the formations and prohibitions in this secret chamber collapsed under Zhang Xiyi's surging aura.
Although the mysterious practitioner was only at the early Dharma stage, under the pressure of Zhang Xiyi's aura, he still appeared calm. "If you don't want this secret room to collapse, you can attack me. However, I have to remind you that the secret reincarnation technique that Bai Jishan provided is not complete and has many flaws. However, I happen to have a more complete and detailed version of this secret technique. If I accidentally break it, not only will your sect lose a mid Dharma adept, but if your hopes of becoming a great adept in a short period of time are dashed, I'm afraid your sect will not even have the right to stand on equal footing with Zhenling and Xuanling sects in the North Sea. As for your sect's dream of becoming a big sect, haha, forgive me for saying this, but that's just a joke!"
It was as if Zhang Xiyi's surging aura had been pierced by a thin needle. In an instant, the murderous aura in the entire secret room disappeared. His eyes were still shining with shock and anger, but he was like a gambler whose trump card had been seen through, and he no longer had the courage to bargain with the person in front of him.
In the tavern, Lu Ping watched as the early Dharma adept slowly walked out of the alley. He nodded slightly to the cultivator in the teahouse, and the two of them walked down the street towards the east side of Phantom Spirit City.
Lu Ping thought for a moment, then also stood up and threw a Blood Condensation elixir on the table. He left the wine shop and followed the two of them from afar.
In the secret room, Zhang Xiyi's expression could not be seen clearly in the darkness. At this moment, there was a "pop" sound, and a ray of light flashed in the secret room. In an instant, the teleportation matrix beneath Zhang Xiyi was illuminated. At the same time, the expression on Zhang Xiyi's face flashed in the light, and then the entire secret room fell into complete silence.
Lu Ping followed the two people in front of him all the way to the east of Phantom City. There were fewer and fewer people along the way, and at the same time, the path that the two of them took became more and more remote, and the surroundings became more and more silent.
Lu Ping's expression changed, and he suddenly hid himself, then stealthily moved in another direction. After a moment, two space doors silently appeared at the place where Lu Ping was previously standing. Two mid Dharma adepts stepped out of the doors, and their divine senses spread out in all directions. Immediately after, a suspicious look appeared on their faces.
"Nothing?"
"It seems that the two of them are being overly suspicious, or perhaps they thought that someone who was passing by was tailing them!"
"Let's go. Since everyone is here, we will probably make our move soon. So what if someone is watching from the side? Could it be that someone would dare to risk the world to save him?"
"That's true. As long as we do this, others will suspect us sooner or later. We are just trying to cover our ears while stealing a bell!"
Their voices lingered, and the two of them had already used their space powers to leave.
After a moment, two shadows suddenly separated from the walls on both sides. They looked at each other, then exploded into a thick cloud of Spiritual Qi that dissipated in mid-air. The silhouettes clearly looked like the figures of the two Dharma adepts from before.
However, at this time, Lu Ping still did not appear. Instead, he quietly hid in the alley of a house, as if waiting for something.
After being trapped in the Five Phantom Islands for more than two months, even though Lu Ping had not specifically visited the Dharma adepts of the various sects, this did not prevent Lu Ping from recognizing the identities of these adepts.
The two mid Dharma adepts just now were obviously from the Nine Great Sects. One of them was probably a adept from the Purple Talisman Pavilion, while the other was Laozu from a large sect in the South China Sea. The technique that the two of them had used before they left was the Purple Talisman Pavilion's Pursuing Shadow Talisman!
In Lu Ping's Divine Will, just as the two shadows dissipated, an invisible barrier began to form about ten feet in front of him. The houses and buildings that were enveloped by the barrier seemed to be reflected on the barrier. From afar, it seemed as if nothing had happened.
If not for the fact that Lu Ping's Divine Will had been constantly paying attention in that direction and had already discovered something, he would have been lost in such a high-level illusion.
Lu Ping stood there quietly for the time it took to drink a cup of tea. Only then did he carefully extend his Divine Will towards the invisible barrier. At the same time, a green light flashed in his eyes as he tried to see through the invisible barrier to see something.
At this time, Lu Ping's expression changed. With a shake of his body, he retreated outside. The invisible barrier in the distance suddenly shook, causing the countless buildings that were reflected on the barrier to shake as well. There was a sudden loud explosion, and a huge wave of energy suddenly burst forth from the invisible barrier. The invisible barrier was like a piece of paper that had been pierced, revealing the buildings that had long been reduced to ruins. The barrier then rapidly contracted and repaired itself, and after a while, it was completely intact. From afar, the buildings there had not changed at all, and the entire Phantom City only had that sudden explosion.
Even so, the explosion, which shook the entire city, alarmed a good number of people. The sound spread far into the other four islands. Many cultivators from the other sects and the Human and Yao Races rushed over to Phantom City to investigate what was going on.
A black cloud of mist shot out from the newly broken invisible barrier and disappeared in an instant. Several mid Dharma adepts immediately appeared outside the illusion, blocking the many cultivators who were coming in. They also claimed that someone had tried to assassinate Chuye Laozu. Chuye Laozu was now seriously injured and on the verge of death, but the assassin's physical body had also been destroyed. However, the assassin's Dharma Power had escaped. They hoped that the many cultivators in Phantom City would organize themselves and search for the assassin.
This news immediately caused the entire Phantom City to be in an uproar!
Who was Chuye Laozu?
He was one of the three great Dharma adepts of the Northern Alliance. He was famous in the East Sea for his powerful poison techniques. He had all kinds of strange poison techniques that were impossible to defend against. He also consumed all kinds of poisonous substances to increase his level of practice. In the East Sea, he was known as the "Addict." He was also known as the most difficult person to deal with among the late Dharma adepts. Even though he had accidentally fallen into Mara's trap during his battle with Mara and was personally injured by an Asura, he had still been able to escape from the combined attacks of two Jade Shuras and one Asura. This showed just how powerful he was.
A person like this, even when he was seriously injured, would not dare to be trifled with. Who would have the guts to assassinate such a powerful person, and from the looks of it, the assassination had succeeded?
Moreover, at this time, Phantom City was surrounded by Mara's army. Even the humans and demons had begun to join forces to fight against the enemy. What kind of person would be so ignorant as to do such a thing at this critical juncture that would bring joy to his enemies and pain to his friends?
At this time, the entire Phantom City was in an uproar. Almost all the disciples of the major sects had begun to move, searching the entire city for the spy. The Northern Alliance adepts, on the other hand, seemed to be in a state of panic. Some people even seemed to have sensed something and were in a hurry to find other Dharma adepts of the Northern Alliance. The number of adepts from the Northern Alliance who participated in the search was very few.
At this time, behind the invisible barrier, there was a layer of indistinct fog in the middle of the ruins. From afar, this fog made people feel nauseous.
And above this fog floated a few adepts whose faces could not be seen clearly. From their appearance, they all looked old. It was precisely because of these adepts that the fog in the ruins under their feet did not leak out at all.
At this time, a long sigh came from one of the adepts. He said, "I was too careless. I didn't expect Chuye to still have such power despite being so seriously injured!"
"I'm afraid Chuye had long realized that something was wrong. Otherwise, he wouldn't have self-destructed the seed of his Natural Supreme Power at the first instance and abandoned his physical body to escape!"
"So what? His Dharma Power has long been damaged by Asura. If he can't find a suitable person to possess within the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, he will die sooner or later!"
