Lu Ping flew all the way to Phantom City. At this time, the entire Phantom City was in chaos. In the southeastern sky, there was a hole in the matrix that had been torn open. Mara's army swarmed in from it, forming a torrent.
Lu Ping hurried all the way through the Mystic Spirit City, heading towards a secluded area. Fortunately, everyone was in a state of panic, so no one noticed his movements.
Lu Ping walked to a remote area, and a thin layer of water split open on his face and dripped onto the ground. Taking off the Demon Transformation Bracelet on his wrist, Lu Ping returned to his original appearance.
Lu Ping handed Zhang Xiyi's storage ritual implement to Dabao. At this time, Dabao was frantically sorting out the spirit stones that Zhang Xiyi had stolen in the House of Gold. Although Lu Ping did not carefully check the number of spirit stones, a portion of it was the Cang Hai Sect's share on Yuanling Island.
Just like how Tiankang Laozu had given his share of Zhenling's spirit stones to Lu Ping, Zhang Xiyi had also taken care of the Cang Hai Sect's share of spirit stones. In addition to the spirit stones that Zhang Xiyi had stolen from the mine, the total amount was even higher than Zhenling's share.
No wonder the Cang Hai Sect had originally had the chance to enter the top ten of the twenty-five sects on Yuanling Island, but they had obviously given up. With this kind of thievery, they could not even compete with the top five sects of the first tier, much less the sixth to tenth tier sects.
Walking out of the remote alley, Lu Ping turned back and walked quickly towards the crowded area. After a while, he suddenly stopped. When he looked up, he saw two people looking at him from afar.
A look of joy appeared on Lu Ping's face. He quickly walked over and said, "Brother Yuwen, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
The two people were Yuwen Feixiang and the middle Dharma servant known as Mr. Wen.
Seeing that it was Lu Ping, Yuwen Feixiang smiled and cupped his fists, "Brother Lu, are you going to Chengling Island as well?"
Lu Ping nodded to Mr. Wen and said, "I was going to rush over as well. But, I had some private matters to attend to in the Phantom City. So, the elders of the sect are urgently calling me back. I assume it's because of the rescue mission on Chengling Island. Brother Yuwen, you're going ahead of me. I'm going to rush over with my fellow cultivators."
Yuwen Feixiang smiled and said, "That's good too. Brother Lu is the future star of your sect. The elders of your sect must first confirm Brother Lu's safety before they can be at ease!"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Brother Yuwen must be joking. Let's meet again in a moment!"
After bidding farewell to Yuwen Feixiang in a hurry, Lu Ping had many doubts in his mind. But, he did not have time to think about them, because Tiankang Laozu's decree was already in his hands.
At this moment, nine strong auras suddenly rose from the direction of the Phantom Hall. Then, nine rays of flowing light shot out. Two of them turned and flew in the northwest direction, while the remaining seven flew all the way to Chengling Island in the southeast.
Nine Great Adepts!
Lu Ping looked at the two rays of flowing light that were obviously flying towards Yuan Ling Island. He wondered if they would discover something fishy about the Blue Sea Sect.
On Lingling Island, when Lu Ping arrived, Tiankang Laozu was already preparing to lead a group of Zhenling disciples to Chengling Island to help. Seeing that Lu Ping had returned, Tiankang Laozu was delighted and said, "You're back just in time. The Old Man is preparing to go to Chengling Island. I'll leave this place to you to guard."
Lu Ping looked at the disciples following Tiankang Laozu. Almost all of them were second generation cultivators like Sage Xuan Xu and some third generation disciples. Xuan Yong, Xuan Ling and the other outstanding cultivators of the third generation were excluded by Tiankang Laozu for some reason. So, Lu Ping smiled and said, "Disciple will go with Grand Uncle-Master. We can take care of each other."
Tiankang Laozu refused without hesitation, "You can't go. The station on Lingling Island cannot be left unguarded. One of us must stay here."
Lu Ping knew what Tiankang Laozu was thinking, but he still smiled and said, "It seems that there is only a gap on Chengling Island. The formation has not collapsed. Grand Uncle-Master might have to join forces with others when you get there. Can Grand Uncle-Master trust them? When the time comes, disciple and Grand Uncle-Master will have the confidence to escape even if we encounter Asura. Why do you have to be on guard against others when you work with them? "
Chengling Island was the place where the three major tribes of the Demon Clan were stationed. Just like how the Crystal Palace and the nine major sects occupied the only giant spirit stone mine on Phantom Island, the three major tribes of the Demon Clan also occupied a spirit stone mine. There was also a stone spirit island in the northeast, which was occupied by the other tribes of the East Sea Demon Clan.
When Zhenling and the others arrived on Chengling Island, the entire island was already in chaos. Fortunately, other than the overall defense formation of the Phantom Island, each island could also defend itself, so Mara's army did not spread to the other four islands after they entered the island. This was also due to the estrangement between the Human and Demon Clans in the past. Coupled with the participation of several great cultivators from the Human and Demon Clans, Mara's army and the Human and Demon Clans began to fight fiercely around Chengling Island.
Out of caution, Tiankang Laozu and Lu Ping did not approve of the Core Forging adepts of their sect forming a formation and advancing into the island. More than twenty Core Forging adepts of Zhenling quickly formed the "Three Talents Five Elements Formation". The formation formed by more than twenty Core Forging adepts was enough to fight against two or three Dharma adepts. Under the command of Immortal Xuan Xu, they only relied on the inner formation of Phantom Island to resist Mara's attack at the edge of Chengling Island.
Lu Ping and Tiankang Laozu both rose into the air. Both of them could already see that in the sky near Yuan Ling Island, Yuan Chong Laozu of the Crystal Palace was already surrounded by more than ten early and mid Dharma adepts. Seeing Tiankang Laozu and Lu Ping arrive, Yuan Chong Laozu nodded in satisfaction and said, "Old Man, I'll be straightforward. Although the situation on Chengling Island was sudden, it is far from irreversible. There were some problems on Yuan Ling Island, which directly caused the five islands' defense formation to be weakened, especially on Chengling Island. Coupled with the sudden appearance of a large number of Poison Shura, the defense formation on Chengling Island was directly broken through …"
"Poison Shura? How could such a thing appear on such a large scale? "
Yuan Chong Laozu seemed to be rather displeased with the Dharma adept who had interrupted him, but under such circumstances, he did not explode on the spot. Instead, he explained, "Before this, North Sea Zhenling informed Phantom Palace of the news of the appearance of Poison Shura. Before this, we had already informed our fellow friends, but we did not expect the Poison Shura to appear on such a large scale. However, everyone can see the hole in the southeast sky that has been broken through. The group of Shura that is guarding the hole and using their supernatural powers to continuously expand the hole are the Poison Shura."
Everyone turned to look in the direction that Yuan Chong Laozu had pointed out. Indeed, at the hole that had been broken through on Chengling Island, there was a group of Shura guarding the hole, not moving at all. At the same time, batches of Mara's army were continuously pouring in from outside the island.
Yuan Chong Laozu's voice once again rang out in everyone's ears. He said, "Our fellow friends who have just arrived have already engaged the many Blood Mara, Jade Shura, and Jade Demon who have entered Chengling Island. They will do their best to delay the important forces of Mara's army for us. Our task is to split into two groups and go around the battlefield from both sides. Once we enter the battlefield, we will chase this group of Poison Shura away and at the same time seal the hole!"
A mid Dharma Laozu could not help but ask, "With our abilities, if our fellow friends on the island are able to delay Mara's army from returning to support us, it is not impossible to rush to the hole and chase the group of Poison Shura away. However, there is a hole there, and Mara's army is continuously pouring in. Once the Asuras or even the legendary Heavenly Demons appear, with our level of practice, even if we outnumber them, it will be difficult to seal the hole!"
Yuan Chong Laozu knew that if he did not dispel the doubts in these people's hearts, they would definitely not follow him and take the risk. So he said, "Everyone, don't worry. Two great practitioners have already rushed to Yuan Ling Island to investigate. Once the source of the problem affecting the formation on Chengling Island is eliminated, the hole in the formation will immediately close up. As long as we chase the Poison Shura away, the hole will immediately close up. Otherwise, with the Poison Shura constantly suppressing the recovery of the formation and even widening the hole, not only will Mara's army be able to rush in faster, but once the Asuras and Jade Demons appear, I'm afraid we will not be able to stop them in time!"
At this moment, the island's protective formation of the entire Five Islands of Illusory Spirits let out a low rumble once again. A layer of faint light flashed on the protective shield of the formation. Yuan Chong Laozu said happily, "The danger on Yuan Ling Island has been eliminated. I'm counting on you all!"
The recovery of the formation caused a commotion among the group of Black Asuras guarding the hole in the formation. Clearly, they had noticed that the formation had changed. The entire island's protective formation rippled like water. The faint light was like waves gathering towards the hole in the formation, and it was getting brighter and faster.
Colorful smoke rose from the group of Poison Shura and sprayed towards the hole in the formation. At this moment, the circle of light that had gathered the power of the entire formation in an attempt to seal the hole had also reached its peak. It emitted a blinding light and rushed towards the hole.
The two collided. First, the hole shrank rapidly, and then it began to expand under the corrosion of the various poisonous fog. Then, it fell into a stalemate.
At this time, Yuan Chong Laozu led close to 20 Dharma adepts and rushed towards the hole in the formation from the left and right. Very quickly, they attracted the attention of the Mara army that had entered Cheng Ling Island. Amidst the howling of a Jade Demon, two groups of Mara quickly rushed out from the battlefield and blocked off the Dharma adepts.
The moment that Jade Demon gave the order, it also revealed its position. A great demon adept broke through the blockade of Mara surrounding it and went straight for the Jade Demon.
The Jade Demon no longer had time to give orders, and the nearby Mara army was in chaos. Dozens of Luan rose from Cheng Ling Island and took the opportunity to attack the group of Mara, forcing the group of Mara to retreat.
Tian Kang Laozu took the lead, and the Mountain Splitting Axe in his hand came crashing down. There was no one who could withstand it, and even the Jade Shura did not dare to take the Mountain Splitting Axe's attack head-on. Furthermore, behind Tian Kang Laozu, Lu Ping's pair of swords happened to protect his two wings. The Moonwater Sword was unpredictable, and it was difficult to defend against. Occasionally, there would be bolts of Yin Water Divine Lightning that struck the group of Mara that was blocking their way.
Even if the two of them were to meet one or two Blood Mara blocking their way, they would still be beaten into a corner. Therefore, the two of them seemed to be very relaxed as they advanced. If it wasn't for the fact that they did not want to be too conspicuous among the crowd and attract more of the Mara army, they could have easily caught up to Yuan Chong Laozu's progress.
