Under the siege of Xuan Yong and the other four, Blood Shura did not manage to escape in the end. However, after killing Blood Shura, the five of them were also exhausted. Xuan Yong alone blocked most of Blood Shura's attack, but he suffered several wounds from Blood Shura and his internal organs were also shaken. He was the most seriously injured among the five, but after Blood Shura's death, he was the one who laughed the most heartily.
Lu Ping and Chu Haitian did not appear in front of everyone from beginning to end. After seeing the five people turn back to Phantom City after ambushing Blood Shura, the two of them left quietly.
The battle outside Phantom City lasted for two days and two nights. The Human and Demon Clans, led by six treasure ships and three Pure Yang cultivators, finally won.
During this period, there seemed to be some unspoken rumors. It seemed that during the critical period of the battle with Mara, the two Skyscraping Demons actually began to lead Mara's army to escape, and the three Pure Yang Laozu were said to be entangled by several Asuras. In the end, they could only watch as the two Skyscraping Demons led a part of the most elite Mara army to escape.
There were also rumors that when the second Pure Yang Laozu appeared, the two Skyscraping Demons had already begun to escape, and the remaining Mara army was just a pretense to delay the pursuit of the cultivators of the Human and Demon Clans.
There were even rumors that when Mara's army retreated, the Great Cultivators of the Human and Demon Clans and the three Pure Yang Laozu encountered an even more terrifying opponent. The Great Cultivators finally retreated, allowing Mara's army to retreat calmly.
In any case, the siege of Mara outside Phantom City was finally lifted. Although Mara's army suffered heavy casualties, the two Skyscraping Demons led several Asuras to escape from the three Pure Yang Laozu's. There was no doubt about this.
As for how to escape, although there were many different opinions, the third rumor was naturally the most unbelievable. What a joke. To be able to make three Pure Yang Laozu retreat, could it be that there was also a Real Spirit in Mara?
Two days later, Tiankang Laozu, Lu Ping, and Jiang Tianlin Laozu sat on the ground at Zhenling's encampment.
Jiang Tianlin Laozu was one of the cultivators Zhenling had sent to participate in the battle of the Illusionary Spirit Five Islands. Before this, Jiang Tianlin Laozu had been on the Carefree Faction's treasured ship and had been at the forefront of the battle against Mara's army. Lu Ping, on the other hand, had been wandering around the periphery and had never seen him.
It wasn't until the Demonic Luo army was defeated that Lu Ping met Ancestor Jiang Tianlin outside the Xiao Yao Sect's ship that the humans and monsters chased after the Demonic Luo army.
When Lu Ping saw Jiang Tianlin Laozu, Jiang Tianlin Laozu had a Calamity Spirit Treasure wood floating above his head, and he was beating a Jade Shura.
Old Ancestor Jiang Tianlin was overjoyed to see Lu Ping. The spirit treasure above his head transformed into a small tree that had 108 tree leaves hanging from it, and the tree fluttered in the air, killing the Jade Asura with a single strike.
After that, the two of them fought together. Although Jiang Tianlin Laozu didn't have a powerful Calamity Spirit Treasure like Tiankang Laozu's Mountain Splitting Axe, Jiang Tianlin Laozu was much stronger than Tiankang Laozu. When the two of them worked together, they could even fight an Asura.
However, compared to Lu Ping's calmness when he saw Jiang Tianlin Laozu's power, Jiang Tianlin Laozu was much more shocked when he saw Lu Ping's performance.
Once upon a time, this Minor Repairs in Zhenling, who was valued by others because of his appreciation, had now grown into a towering tree that was no less than his own. At this rate, it was only a matter of time before he surpassed him.
As the two of them chased after Mara's army with the Carefree Faction's treasured ship, they talked about the Five Islands of Phantom Spirits and the current situation in the North Sea. Only then did Lu Ping know that his teacher, Liu Tianling, had successfully passed the second Calamity Thunder more than half a year ago and reached the middle Dharma stage. When Jiang Tianlin learned of Zhang Xiyi's death, he couldn't help but sigh.
When he learned that Tiankang Laozu and Lu Ping had been noticed by a secret force on Phantom Spirits Island, he was also very surprised. He didn't know who else would have the ability to manage such a powerful force in such a secretive manner when the Five Islands of Phantom Spirits were under the control of the Crystal Palace, the Nine Great Sects, and the Three Great Tribes.
After the battle in Phantom Spirits City ended, the hundreds of Dharma adepts on the six treasured ships returned to Phantom Spirits Island to rest. Lu Ping and Jiang Tianlin Laozu returned to Spirit Gathering Island to discuss with Tiankang Laozu.
"So, Qianyuan City is still under Mara's siege, and the various forces under the Northern Alliance, as well as the many islands that Mara swept through, have all fallen into chaos because they lost the restraints of the Northern Alliance?"
Jiang Tianlin Laozu came from the North Sea, so he was much more informed than Lu Ping and Tiankang Laozu, who were trapped in the Five Islands of Phantom Spirits.
"That's right. Now, the old territories of the Northern Alliance are in chaos. Many overseas forces have secretly intervened, either openly or secretly, to steal the various training resources left by the Northern Alliance, and to take over the businesses of the various forces under the Northern Alliance. Ever since Ye Laozu fell and Hanye Laozu led his people away, taking with him a large number of training resources that the Northern Alliance had accumulated over thousands of years, the 'Three Leaves of the Northern Alliance' that used to dominate the East Sea is now only Gui Ye Laozu, and he alone is holding the fort.
"Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the day Qianyuan City falls is the day the Northern Alliance dies. It is precisely because of this that the overseas training world has gathered forces to rescue the Five Islands of Phantom Spirits. Although they also pass by the Northern Alliance, none of the sects have proposed to rescue the Northern Alliance, even though everyone knows that as long as one treasured ship changes direction, the siege of Qianyuan City will be lifted immediately!
"What about our sect? What is our sect going to do?"
Tian Kang Laozu asked straightforwardly, "Since everyone is reaping benefits, our sect naturally can't just stand by and watch. This time, you came to the East Sea not only to rescue the Phantom Spirits, but also for the matter of the Northern Alliance, right? After all, everything in the old territories of the Northern Alliance is just a small part, and Qianyuan City is the big one! "
Tian Kang Laozu paused, pointed at Lu Ping, and said, "But this time, the Old Man won't participate. You go with this kid!"
Jiang Tianlin Laozu smiled, "Of course, our sect will not let go of such an opportunity. Martial Uncle Tianfan and Martial Uncle Tian Xue have already sneaked into the East Sea."
"Oh?"
Tian Kang Laozu became spirited, and said, "Could it be that this time, our sect is going to snatch the food from the hands of the Crystal Palace and the eight major sects?"
When the two Laozu, Tian Fan and Tian Xue, worked together, they were not any weaker than a great cultivator. The two of them secretly sneaked into the East Sea, obviously to take a bite out of the Northern Alliance when it was being divided.
At this time, Lu Ping said, "This time, I'm afraid not only the Crystal Palace and the other eight major sects, but also the Monster Race. Now that a large number of cultivators from the three major tribes and twelve races have gathered, and with the Green Sea Snakes's Pure Yang Laozu holding the line, they will naturally get a share of the loot!"
After saying that, Lu Ping also told the two Laozu that the cultivators of the Northern Alliance had fallen one by one, leaving only Lin Jingtang, and that Lin Jingtang had sought help from Lu Ping. Not only that, he also passed the three hundred high grade spiritual stones to Tian Kang Laozu, and Tian Kang Laozu signaled him to pass the spiritual stones to Jiang Tianlin.
Lu Ping continued, "According to Lin Jingtang's guess, the fall of Chuye Laozu was the work of the three major tribes of the Monster Race, so the collapse of the Northern Alliance will definitely involve the Monster Race."
Tian Kang Laozu's expression changed, and he said, "Did Lin Jingtang escape?"
Lu Ping shook his head, and said, "I don't know. After all, he is a mid Dharma adept, and we don't have enough people in Phantom City to keep an eye on him. However, he has indeed disappeared from Phantom City."
Tian Kang Laozu nodded thoughtfully, and said, "With the participation of the Monster Race, with the Monster Race's unruly nature, Qianyuan City will definitely be in a chaotic situation. This will give us a chance to fish in troubled waters. However, even if we can predict this situation, it's hard to guarantee that the other sects haven't. When the time comes, there will be too many wolves and not enough meat. It will still depend on strength and luck."
Two days later, Lu Ping, Jiang Tianlin, and Tian Kang Laozu returned to Zhenling Island. They only stayed for a day, and Tian Kang Laozu brought a large number of spirit stones and the Wind Drumming technique that Lu Ping had obtained from the Phantom City trade fair.
Jiang Tianlin Laozu originally wanted Tian Kang Laozu to continue guarding Phantom Island, while he, Lu Ping, and Tian Feng Laozu went to the Northern Alliance to help Tian Fan and Tian Xue. However, Tian Kang Laozu said, "Out of the five mid Dharma adepts in our sect, four of them are in the East Sea. The North Sea is only left with Brother Tian Xiang and Disciple Tian Ling. In addition, they have to take care of the two important places, Frost Island and Scarlet Mist Island. How can they take care of everything? The battle on Phantom Island has caused great damage to the sects, so Tian Feng can take care of Phantom Island. As for the matter of the Northern Alliance, the four of you can go. The Old Man can't interfere."
Jiang Tianlin Laozu was a little confused and was about to persuade him, but he saw Lu Ping shake his head slightly. He knew that there must be other reasons, so he could only let Tian Kang Laozu return to the North Sea.
After Tian Kang Laozu left, both Tian Lin and Tian Feng Laozu looked at Lu Ping. Tian Feng said, "I say, Disciple Lu, your Uncle-Master has always been a lively person. How can I have the patience to stay in one place for a long time? Why do you want me to guard Phantom Island now? If you don't explain clearly, be careful that the Old Man doesn't tell on you behind your back! "
Lu Ping sighed and said, "It's not that I'm being presumptuous. It's just that Uncle-Master's lifespan is up. He's returning to the North Sea to make arrangements for his funeral!"
Tian Lin and Tian Feng were both shocked. Tian Feng said loudly, "What? That's impossible! Uncle-Master Tian Kang should have at least 40 to 50 years left in his lifespan. How can he make arrangements for his funeral so soon?"
Tian Lin calmed down and immediately thought of something. He said, "But what happened on the Phantom Island?"
Lu Ping nodded and told them about how Tian Kang Laozu was injured and how he refused to take the Purple Gold Longevity Pill to extend his lifespan. He then said, "The incident on the Phantom Island was just a trigger. Uncle-Master actually wanted to die a long time ago. According to my estimation, Uncle-Master fought with all his might in the consecutive battles, and now he has at most 20 years left in his lifespan. Uncle-Master once said that the sect planned to pass the Mountain Splitting Axe to Uncle-Master Tianshan. However, Uncle-Master Tianshan is only at the early Dharma stage, so he might not be able to fully control the Mountain Splitting Axe. Thus, Uncle-Master plans to use the last 20 years of his lifespan to condense the Dharma Power Soul."
