Lu Ping's words infuriated the middle-aged cultivator. He asked coldly, "What is the meaning of this, Lu Daoyou?"
Lu Ping stared into the middle-aged cultivator's eyes and said, "Senior Lin, can't you tell? The reason you're still alive is most likely because the people behind the Northern Alliance want to keep someone of some status in the Northern Alliance alive so that they can help them find the secret heritage sites of the Northern Alliance in the future. Even if I manage to heal your injuries, do you think you can escape from the hands of those people? "
Lu Ping's words were like a sharp knife that cut through flesh. Every sentence he said could cut a piece of flesh from the middle-aged cultivator's body. By the time Lu Ping finished speaking, the middle-aged cultivator, who was at the mid Dharma stage, was already sweating profusely. His eyes were filled with despair.
Lu Ping fell silent after he finished speaking. He watched as the middle-aged cultivator recovered from his despair. Slowly, his eyes began to fill with determination, as if he had made up his mind about something. Lu Ping's eyes, however, were as calm as a bottomless lake.
"Tell me, you didn't refuse to help me heal my injuries. What do you want in return?"
The middle-aged cultivator finally regained his composure. He looked at this ridiculously young Dharma adept in front of him with a complicated expression.
A smile finally appeared on Lu Ping's face. Lu Ping's voice carried a hint of lightness as he said, "That's right. Any promise from you, Senior, in the face of a crisis of life and death for the Northern Alliance, means nothing to me. Therefore, what I want can only be from you."
The middle-aged cultivator's expression had completely calmed down. He looked at Lu Ping quietly, as if he was no longer surprised by any of Lu Ping's requests.
"What I want is the portion of spirit stones that the Northern Alliance got from the giant spirit stone mine on Phantom Island that you're carrying!"
"Hehehehe!"
The middle-aged cultivator sneered, "You sure have a big appetite. Do you know what rank the Northern Alliance is among the nine great sects? Do you know how large the spirit stone mine is? Why would I carry such a large sum of Spirit Stones with me! "
Lu Ping chuckled and said, "Well, we can't put all our eggs in one basket, right? At the very least, a portion of the spirit stones should be in Senior's possession. I only want that portion. As Senior said, this is a very large number of spirit stones. Even if Senior only has a portion, it's still a considerable amount, isn't it?"
The middle-aged cultivator looked at Lu Ping with a gloomy expression. However, Lu Ping remained calm throughout.
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion outside Phantom City, and a loud roar rang through the entire city. "All Dharma adepts, quickly face the enemy and receive the emissaries outside the city!"
The entire city was in an uproar!
Lu Ping's face lit up, but the middle-aged cultivator was shocked!
Lu Ping stood up, paused, and turned around. "In three days, at the same place, I will bring the elixir for healing. Senior, don't forget about the spirit stones. I believe Senior knows what the arrival of the emissaries outside the city means. There is not much time left for Senior!"
Lu Ping was the first to walk out of the teahouse. He cast a questioning glance at the shopkeeper who was doing the accounts behind the counter. The shopkeeper shook his head slightly and Lu Ping walked straight out of the teahouse. A light flashed beneath his feet and he flew out of the city.
Within the Phantom City, using flying techniques was a privilege reserved for Dharma adepts, even when they were surrounded by Mo Luo.
In the elegant room of the teahouse, the middle-aged cultivator did not care about the summons from the various sects of the Phantom Palace. Instead, he sat there quietly, thinking about something. After a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He stood up, patted the storage instrument on his waist, and walked out of the elegant room.
At this time, the entire Phantom City was in an uproar. The cultivators from the various sects who had been besieged for almost a year were all rushing up the walls of Phantom City. Dharma adepts from the other four islands were constantly flying over their heads, charging towards the Demon Luo army outside Phantom City.
When Lu Ping arrived at the Phantasm City's city wall, the sea outside the city was already in chaos. The entire sky was shrouded in colorful lights.
"Brother Lu, over here!"
Lu Ping turned to look and saw Chu Haitian waving vigorously in the distance. Chu Haitian had also stopped, waiting for Lu Ping to go over.
Lu Ping turned to look in the direction of the spirit-gathering island, but did not see Tian Kang Laozu. He did not know if the old man had already rushed over.
The light under Lu Ping's feet flashed, and he had already arrived in front of the two of them. However, he saw that there were a few other lights that had stopped not far away. The person in the lead was the Dharma adept of the Green Sea Snakes, Chu Fuyu Laozu.
Chu Fuyu Laozu nodded at Lu Ping and said, "Alright, among the cultivators who have taken the risk to break into Phantom City, there will definitely be Dharma adepts from the Green Sea Snakes. Everyone, be alert. This is going to be a tough battle. The Old Man will lead the way. Xiyu, Wuyu, Jinyu, Yinyu, the four of you mid-stage Dharma adepts will protect the Old Man on both sides. The rest of you early-stage Dharma adepts will protect the back. Let's go!"
In addition to Lu Ping, there were a total of ten Dharma adepts. They formed a huge triangular attack formation in mid-air, with a distance of tens of feet between them. They charged towards Mara's army as fast as lightning.
Chu Fuyu Laozu raised his hand, and all the water vapor within a radius of three miles condensed. It then turned into raindrops that filled the sky and poured down on the Mara's army that was charging towards them.
This was the first time that Lu Ping had seen a late Dharma adept attack so directly. The raindrops that filled the sky instantly hit the hundreds of Mara's that were charging towards them. They screamed in pain as they fell towards the sea like dumplings in a pot. In the process of falling, more than half of the Mara's melted on the spot, turning into the original essence and dissipating in mid-air. The path that the group was moving towards had been cleared for two to three thousand feet in an instant.
Lu Ping thought that if he were to use the Art of Traveling through Clouds and Summoning Rain with all his might, although it was possible that he could cover a radius of more than a thousand feet within the range of his magical powers, whether it was the speed or the power of the technique, he was still far inferior to Chu Fuyu Laozu's.
However, before the group could advance more than a hundred feet, the alarmed Mara quickly surrounded them from all directions. However, the ten of them did not care at all, and they continued to push towards the center of the Mara's army.
Seeing that Mara was rushing towards them, the four mid Dharma adepts on both sides each attacked. They killed tens of large and small Mara's consecutively, finally intimidating the Mara's army that was closing in on them from both sides.
At this time, Chu Fuyu Laozu, who was leading the way, was also attacked by a Jade Shura. However, he was repelled by a second calamity spirit treasure in his hand, and he hid within the ranks of the Mara's army.
Chu Fuyu Laozu did not stop and continued to push forward, and the group behind him followed.
At this time, Chu Haitian shouted, "They're coming!"
Lu Ping's divine consciousness had also discovered that a group of Mara had surrounded them from behind like a flood.
Chu Haitian slashed out with the Jade Sky Sword in his hand, and a magnificent sword aura killed the three big Mara that were chasing at the front. The sword aura continued to rush forward, and it only dissipated after killing the fifth Mara.
Chu Haizhen also attacked at this time. The flying spear in his hand flew out, and after piercing through three Mara's, there was a crisp sound, and the flying spear was blocked. Chu Haizhen shouted, "There are Blood Shuras hiding inside!"
He had only just said that when two Blood Asuras suddenly charged out from the group of Demonic Asuras. They charged towards Chu Haidong and another Emerald Sea Spirit Serpent cultivator known as Chu Hailang. The two of them quickly engaged the two Blood Asuras in a fight.
The Mara's army took advantage of the situation to approach. Lu Ping raised the Thin Water Sword in his hand and turned it into two sword dragons, which roared and rushed into the Mara's army.
Seeing that more than 20 of the Mara's army had been bitten by the two sword dragons, and that the Mara had finally relied on their numbers to defeat the two sword dragons, Lu Ping suddenly loosened his hand and shouted, "Disperse!"
The two sword dragons immediately dispersed and merged, turning into a torrent that immediately swept more than ten Mara's into the torrent and disappeared.
When the many Mara's dispersed the torrent again, it turned into a lake, rolling up piles of silver waves. Every time a wave rolled over a Mara's body, it was as if Mara's body had been dismembered.
Lu Ping's Triple Kill had injured 40 to 50 Mara's that had pounced on him. This not only shocked the other early Dharma adepts of the Green Sea Snakes, but even Chu Haitian was shocked by Lu Ping's methods. At this time, there were not many Mara's that had fallen under the Jade Sky Sword, only 20 to 30 of them.
Lu Ping's strong methods had obviously angered the high-level Mara hidden in the Mara's army. A roar came from the Mara's army. Lu Ping's expression changed and he said, "Be careful, it's a Blood Demon!"
The other early Dharma adept of the Green Sea Snakes was called Chu Haiping. Without waiting for Lu Ping's warning, at the moment the roar sounded, with him as the center, densely packed transparent silk threads shot out in all directions, as if forming a huge net.
The Blood Demon's soul-devouring power hit this net, causing the huge net to undulate like waves, but it was unable to affect Lu Ping and the others behind the huge net.
Chu Haiping smiled proudly after receiving this attack from the Blood Demon. Seeing that the Mara's army was about to rush up again, he hurriedly retracted the transparent silk net. However, he heard Lu Ping shout, "Be careful!"
When Chu Haiping looked up, he saw that a Blood Demon had appeared above the Mara's army. It was holding a smooth, jade-like object in its hand, and it suddenly knocked it in Chu Haiping's direction. A sound like a chime suddenly sounded in his head, and Chu Haiping's whole body suddenly froze in mid-air, as if he had been stunned.
