Lu Ping pondered for a moment, then rummaged through his storage artifact. He found a dozen needle-shaped artifacts that had been left behind at some point. He then took out a jade bottle, opened it, and dipped the needle-shaped artifacts into it. When they came out, the entire artifact turned a golden color.
At the same time, Lu Ping's purplish-blue inner Yuan flowed under this golden color. If not for this, how could these needle-shaped artifacts not be corroded by the power of the Myriad Poison Serum?
The needle-shaped artifacts flew up one by one. Lu Ping's hands moved quickly, and in just a moment, he had stabbed the needles into different parts of Lin Jingtang's body.
"Ah — —"
Lin Jingtang, who had already fallen into a coma, suddenly shook his body, and then his entire body straightened. His tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and his eyeballs almost popped out. He let out a strange cry, and his entire body twitched violently. Drops of black blood began to seep out from his nose and ears.
When the convulsions gradually stopped, Lin Jingtang's eyes also began to gradually regain their vigor, and became brighter and brighter. It was obvious that he was in the final stages of recovery.
"It's you!"
Lin Jingtang's gaze swept across Tian Lin, Tian Feng, Xuan Chu, and the others. In the end, his gaze landed on Lu Ping and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
Lu Ping smiled, and said, "It's me. What a coincidence. I'm sure you understand the injuries on your body, so I won't say much. Hurry up, if there's anything you want to tell me, I'll try my best to do it. At least we didn't get to know each other in vain!"
Lin Jingtang closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again, and said, "I'm at the end of my life. To be able to wake me up in such a situation, you truly are a master alchemist comparable to Yan Wujiu."
Lu Ping smiled, and said, "I used a secret technique. After the medicine's effects run out, you'll die for sure. There's not much time left!"
Lin Jingtang's expression was calm as he smiled, and said, "I understand what you mean. The Northern Alliance will not be able to escape this time. I never thought that the human and demon races would actually work together on this matter."
"What you said earlier was right. Rather than letting the eight major sects and the three major tribes take away the Northern Alliance's heritage, it's better to leave it to a medium-sized sect like Zhenling. When you rise in the future, there will definitely be conflicts of interest with these sects. I'm sure they won't be happy then, haha!"
At this moment, Lin Jingtang was clearly a little deranged. Lu Ping frowned slightly. He felt that he should stop him, but he was afraid that it would backfire.
However, Lin Jingtang himself suddenly calmed down at this moment. He said coldly, "As long as you agree to help me kill someone, I'll tell you a secret treasure of the Northern Alliance. Don't worry, this secret treasure is extremely well-hidden. It was originally jointly managed by uncle-master Gui Chuye and I. Aside from that, only the other two great cultivators and an elder of the alliance know where the secret treasure is. However, apart from uncle-master Gui Chuye and I. No one else can take it away in a short amount of time."
Lu Ping did not immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "Who do you want to kill?"
Lin Jingtang suddenly smiled, and then a sliver of hatred appeared on his face. He said, "Hanye!"
Lu Ping was stunned, but Tianfeng Laozu had already leapt to his feet. He said, "What? Hanye? Hanye Laozu? The great cultivator from your Northern Alliance who left the alliance? Are you kidding me? How can he kill him? "
Lin Jingtang did not explain at all to Tianfeng Laozu's question. Instead, he laughed even harder. Like adding fuel to the fire, he revealed an even more shocking secret.
"Not only is he a great cultivator of the late Dharma stage, but he is also a spy that Wuxing School sent to the alliance. The reason why the alliance fell apart was because of this person. Now that he has broken out of the door, he will definitely return to the Broken Water Division of Wuxing School, hehe!"
Wuxing School, one of the five sacred grounds of Central Plains!
Tianfeng Laozu stopped shouting, and everyone fell silent. Only Lin Jingtang's strange laughter could be heard as he lay on the ground. It was as if he was mocking everyone for being intimidated by Hanye Laozu's background, or as if he was mocking the destruction of the Northern Alliance.
Lu Ping suddenly said, "What is in the hidden treasure?"
Lin Jingtang's laughter stopped abruptly. Even Jiang Tianlin Laozu had to stop him now. He said, "Don't be rash!"
Lin Jingtang sat up from the ground with a whoosh, and then began to breathe heavily. Black blood dripped from his nostrils onto his clothes, but he tried his best to raise his head so that he could look up at Lu Ping.
"Hehe, hehe!"
Lin Jingtang laughed again and said, "It's a cave of inheritance, and inside it is the resting place of the Northern Alliance's alchemists. How about it? As long as you swear an oath, I will immediately tell you the location of this cave and give you the method to take it away!"
The alchemists' place of inheritance, the Treasure Cave!
Lu Ping was stunned. When he first came to the East Sea to participate in the Northern Alliance's alchemists' meeting, he was in the top six and had the opportunity to enter the Northern Alliance's alchemists' place of inheritance. He had also obtained great benefits from it. The Black Prison Poison Fire in his hands was originally obtained from the Treasure Cave.
However, at that time, the Treasure Cave that Lu Ping had entered was in danger of collapsing. The Northern Alliance had selected so many excellent alchemists to enter it to save the various alchemists' places of inheritance in the cave. So the Treasure Cave that Lin Jingtang was talking about was probably the place that the Northern Alliance used to store the alchemists' places of inheritance.
"You are an alchemist. You should know the importance of the Northern Alliance's alchemists' resting place of inheritance. This is one of the most valuable places of inheritance in the Alliance!"
This time, Lin Jingtang was afraid that Lu Ping would give up, so he continued, "Moreover, the Old Man does not want you to kill Hanye now. After all, that guy is a late Dharma adept. But if you have the chance in the future, you must kill him. He betrayed the Northern Alliance and betrayed Uncle Gui Ye. It's a pity that Uncle Gui Ye was possessed and became a partner with him. He did not listen to Uncle Chu Ye's advice at all. Otherwise, he would not have come to this …"
Lin Jingtang's words were still very clear at first, but towards the end, his consciousness began to blur. Many secrets about the Northern Alliance began to be revealed by him, but his words were not very clear.
Although Lu Ping was also very interested in these secrets, Lin Jingtang's condition was obviously getting worse. Until now, he still had not told him the secret of opening and collecting the Heaven's Cave of Inheritance. Lu Ping quickly interrupted him and said, "Alright, I promise you that I will take Hanye Laozu's life as a sacrifice to you in the future. Now, you can just tell me the location of the Heaven's Cave of Inheritance, as well as the method of opening and collecting it!"
Lin Jingtang's eyes brightened slightly, and he reluctantly told Lu Ping all this. After that, his consciousness became a little unclear again, and he continued to say, "There was an easier way to open and collect the cave, which was a Second-tribulation Spiritual Treasure in Junior Master Chuye's hand. Hanye betrayed the Northern Alliance. Now it seems that Chuye Laozu's speculation was probably correct, that Hanye came for that Spiritual Treasure. It was said that the Spiritual Treasure was left by Shui Laozu, the founder of the Water Break Branch of Wuxing School. It was not only the Spiritual Treasure that was most suitable for the Divine Sense of Water Break, but it also contained a big secret of the Water Break Branch. However, Wuxing School sneered at this. Now it seems that all the disdain that Wuxing School put on was just to cover up. The Spiritual Treasure must contain the secret of the Water Break Branch of Wuxing School. Unfortunately, Junior Master Gui Ye didn't believe Junior Master Chuye's advice and listened to Hanye's words, thinking that it was Junior Master Chuye's slander to his rival in love. Fortunately, even though Junior Master Chuye offended Junior Master Gui Ye, he didn't give the Spiritual Treasure in his hand to Hanye. If Hanye returned to Wuxing School, not only would he return empty-handed, but he would also damage the reputation of Wuxing School …"
Lin Jingtang's consciousness was growing fainter and fainter. He could only rely on his instincts to mumble incoherently. However, the contents of his words made everyone look at each other in dismay. Who would have thought that there was such a secret behind the destruction of the Northern Alliance? And that the Five Elements Sect, one of the Five Great Holy Lands of the Central Plains, was the mastermind behind this incident?
Lu Ping's hand flashed, and a pair of purple-gold scissors appeared in Lu Ping's hand. The two mantises ran back and forth on Lu Ping's palm and arm, jabbering, "What are you doing? I'm fixing that stupid gourd. You're getting more and more arrogant. You're even more arrogant than me. Why did you call me out?"
Lu Ping ignored the mantises' hooting and ignored the surprise on the faces of Tianfeng and Tianlin Laozu. Instead, he extended the scissors to Lin Jingtang and said, "Look, is this the Spirit Treasure you were talking about?"
"Heaven's Will!"
Lin Jingtang's eyes widened, and he wanted to say something, but he only managed to say one word. Then, he spat out mouthfuls of black blood. He stretched out his arm as if he wanted to grab the scissors in Lu Ping's hand, but in the end, his arm fell to the ground.
Lu Ping put away the Spirit Treasure and said, "Don't worry, I will never let Hanye or anyone from Wuxing School get their hands on this pair of scissors."
Lin Jingtang's shout suddenly stopped and he finally closed his eyes. Then, his whole body began to smile in the black blood. In the blink of an eye, there was only a pool of black blood seeping into the sand and a storage magic tool left on the ground.
Lu Ping nodded at Chi Lianying and said, "Set up a nameless monument here!"
With a wave of his hand, he picked up the storage artifact on the ground and scanned it with his Divine Thought. Then, he handed it to Jiang Tianlin and said with a smile, "I really didn't squeeze all the Spirit Stones out of this guy. There are still 200 Highest Grade Spirit Stones in it!"
Jiang Tianlin weighed the storage artifact in his hand and nodded. "This matter has been settled. It's time to prepare for Qianyuan City. Let's go back to Jing Zhe Island first!"
Tianfeng Laozu suddenly became anxious and said, "Hey, hey, don't go. What's the matter with the scissors? It's a Second Tribulation Spirit Treasure. Tell me, tell me, this is the third Second Tribulation Spirit Treasure of our sect. Hey, don't go …"
