Two rays of light flashed across the sky one after the other.
Xun Liuhe shouted from behind, "Lao San, Chang Lao San, how can you leave like this? Why are you leaving so fast?"
The thing that Chang Sancai was chewing on had somehow turned into a small wooden stick. He put the stick to the side of his mouth and said, "In any case, I'm no match for him. I've already warned him, so what's the point of staying there?"
Xun Liuhe made an exaggerated expression of surprise and said, "No way, this isn't your style, Chang Laosan. You even said that you weren't a match for him. Is that North Sea Water Sword Immortal really that powerful?"
Chang Sancai immediately said angrily, "I lost to him in just one move. Boss Wei is only so-so. Even Qian Liangyi can't do that. What do you think?"
Xun Liuhe's lips twitched, but he couldn't say a word. Chang Sancai turned around and left. Xun Liuhe hesitated for a moment before he hurriedly followed and said, "Then what should we do? If they insist on interfering, there's nothing we can do!"
Chang Sancai sneered. "Are you stupid? If they don't want to live, why are you worried?"
Xun Liuhe slapped his forehead, as if blaming himself for asking such a stupid question. Then he thought of something and said, "But we can't let anyone know about this. It's quite embarrassing."
Chang Sancai continued flying, but he heard Xun Liuhe say, "No, we can't just let this go. We've suffered a loss at the hands of Lu Tianping, and the other families can't have it easy either. We have to think of a way to make them suffer as well!"
Lu Tianping was completely unaware that the two people from Jiuxuan Tower were secretly plotting against him. At this moment, he was asking Liu Tianyuan and Xun Liuhe about some matters in the sect.
"Currently, among the third generation of practitioners, only your Senior Brother Tianyuan and I have advanced to the Dharma stage. All these years, your Senior Brother Tianyuan and I have been guarding the Yingtian Courtyard, but we have not heard of any third generation disciples advancing to the Dharma stage. However, a few years ago, there was news from Uncle Master Tianfeng from the East Sea. It seems that Junior Brother Xuanchu has also reached the threshold of the Dharma stage. Junior Brother Xuanchu's talent is above both of us, so he must have advanced to the Dharma stage by now!"
"Oh, the Ying Tian Courtyard has always been guarded by two senior brothers. What about Martial Aunt Tian Qin? The other two have already left the courtyard. Who did the sect send?"
The two looked at each other. In the end, it was Tian Tian who said, "Martial Uncle Tianqin returned to the North Sea five years ago. After three years of seclusion, he forcefully summoned the lightning tribulation. Right now, Martial Uncle Tianshan is guarding the courtyard. "
Lu Ping's heart sank as he exclaimed, "It failed?"
Liu Tianyuan shook his head and said, "That's not it. I survived!"
He had survived, but it was not a success.
Lu Ping naturally knew the difference. He asked, "What happened?"
Liu Tianyuan said, "I forcefully went through the tribulation, and my injuries were too severe. Master Fornax said that I would not be able to recover without more than a hundred years of rest. Even if I recover in the future, although there is still a glimmer of hope for me to improve further, it is still very slim!"
Cultivation was like this. It was best to always be able to walk on a narrow and correct path. Otherwise, if there was even the slightest mistake, it would often be the end of one's cultivation career.
Tian Qin Laozu's personality was competitive and stubborn. Forcefully summoning the lightning tribulation probably had something to do with Master Tian Ling Laozu's successful advancement to the mid Dharma stage.
Compared to her, Master Liu Tianling was also competitive, but there was a sense of rationality that controlled her actions. It was precisely because of this competitive nature that Jiang Tianlin Laozu had finally returned to her side. Mei Tianqin Laozu was also able to return to the sect, and Zhenling had chosen her to be the leader.
Although Lu Ping was talented in alchemy, he did not dare to compare himself to Fornax Laozu, who had immersed himself in alchemy for many years. Furthermore, he was Tian Qin Laozu's teacher. Since he said that Tian Qin Laozu would need more than a hundred years to recover, then this period of time could only be the shortest, or even longer.
Lu Ping sighed to himself. If Tian Qin Laozu did not fight for these eight to ten years, he would not have wasted eighty to a hundred years in one go. At least in this period of time, Zhenling would have one less Dharma adept. In the long run, Tian Qin Laozu had made a decision that harmed others without benefiting herself.
Ever since Tian Kang Laozu had fallen, and with the addition of Tian Qin Laozu, Zhenling had lost two Dharma adepts in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Tian Tian and Tian Yuan had both advanced to the Dharma stage, and Liu Tianyuan had absorbed the Dharma soul that Tian Kang Laozu had left behind. As long as he did not die prematurely, Zhenling had an eighty percent chance of having another mid Dharma adept in the next hundred years.
Currently, the number of Dharma adepts in Zhen Ling Sect was sufficient. In fact, the number of Dharma adepts in Zhen Ling Sect was already comparable to that of the smaller, weaker sects. However, they were still lacking in the number of late and mid Dharma adepts. The composition of the Dharma adepts in the sect was somewhat illogical.
"Has the Cang Hai Sect made any moves in recent years?"
Lu Ping asked about the situation of the other sects in the North Sea training world.
"Ever since the fall of Zhang Xiyi, the Cang Hai Sect has become extremely low-key. They no longer have any direct confrontations with our sect. Even in the past, they often joined forces with Xuan Ling Sect."
Lu Ping sighed and said, "This Cang Hai Sect has always been a problem. Have you found out who is behind them?"
"They are very mysterious, but they should be from the Central Plains. In recent years, many of the Cang Hai Sect have gone to the Central Plains from the East Sea. However, after arriving in the Central Plains, no one knows where they went."
Liu Tianyuan paused and said, "There is another piece of news that might interest you, Junior Brother. That Ouyang Weijian from Xuan Ling Sect has advanced to the Dharma stage, and he did so before us."
Lu Ping nodded and said, "This is expected. After spending so much time with the direct disciples of the Crystal Palace, if he still could not advance to the Dharma stage, he would have been thrown out by the Crystal Palace long ago."
At the same time, the battle between Magic Cloud City and Mara's army had reached its climax.
At this time, the entire Magic Cloud City had been enveloped by the city-protecting formation. The teleporter in the city had also been cut off from the nearby void by Mara's army and could no longer function. The entire city-protecting formation had become dangerously red under the fierce attacks of Mara's army. The city-protecting formation would not be able to hold on for much longer.
Above Magic Cloud City, several Dharma adepts looked sullen. An old man shouted angrily at one of the young Dharma adepts, "Didn't you say that the power of Magic Cloud City was enough to withstand the arrival of Mara's army? In fact, Mara's army is twice as strong as what you said. Now that Magic Cloud City is about to collapse, the Yuwen family is the culprit!"
Yuwen Jinglei, who was standing to one side, was furious when he heard this. Just as he was about to curse, he was stopped by a practitioner next to him. It was Yuwen Ke from the Yuwen family.
Yuwen Ke said coldly, "Senior Mu Yun, there is one thing that you don't seem to understand. We, the Yuwen family, are here to help. If we didn't come, there would be many Mara besieging Magic Cloud City. Do you think that Magic Cloud City would be able to hold on until now?"
Mu Yun Laozu was rendered speechless by Yuwen Ke's words. He naturally knew that it was unreasonable for him to vent his anger on them. However, at this time, Magic Cloud City was in a precarious situation. Mu Yun Laozu really needed an excuse to vent his anger.
Mu Yun Laozu did not say anything. Xian Yun Laozu, who was standing to one side, said, "Junior Brother Mu Yun, you are a little rash. The friends of the Yuwen family are now besieging Magic Cloud City with us. No matter what, this is the time to find a solution. If anyone still tries to undermine us at this time, don't blame the Old Man for being merciless!"
Xian Yun Laozu was the city lord of Magic Cloud City and a proper late Dharma adept. As soon as he said this, even Mu Yun Laozu could not help but say, "The Old Man was rude earlier. I hope the Yuwen family will forgive him!"
Yuwen Jinglei snorted coldly. Yuwen Ke, who was standing to one side, nodded and said with a smile, "It's understandable that Senior Mu Yun is worried about the safety of the sect."
However, Xian Yun Laozu said at this time, "Let's go. Senior Sister Baiyun has been guarding the sect's formation. We can't just sit around and do nothing. There are actually two Asuras in Mara's army. This is really a tough battle!"
As soon as he said this, a commotion suddenly came from the west of Magic Cloud City. There seemed to be screams and curses ringing out.
Xian Yun Laozu frowned and said, "What's going on? How can we panic at a time like this? Who's guarding over there?"
Mu Yun Laozu said, "Junior Brother Chongyun is guarding over there. I'm afraid that something bad has happened. The Old Man, let's go and take a look!"
However, before Mu Yun Laozu could make a move, a streak of flame had already flown over. Xian Yun Laozu stretched out his finger and pointed right at the center of the flame. A flustered and exasperated voice with a hint of fear rang out from the scattering flames. "Master, Master has been plotted against and has already fallen. The murderer is a person in red!"
Mu Yun Laozu did not say a word. He turned around and disappeared into the void around him. At this time, Xian Yun Laozu's face was also very gloomy. He said, "At this time, the west of the city must be in danger. I'll have to trouble the two of you to go to the west of the city to stabilize the situation. The Old Man will be here soon!"
This time, three of the five Dharma adepts from the Yuwen family, as well as more than ten Core Forging experts, had already been sent out to defend the city walls with the Magic Cloud City cultivators. At this time, Xian Yun Laozu was only left with two mid Dharma adepts, Yuwen Ke and Yuwen Jinglei.
Yuwen Ke and Yuwen Jinglei knew that the situation in Magic Cloud City had reached an extremely dangerous situation. Hearing this, they also moved to the west of the city.
Xian Yun Laozu suddenly exhaled and said word by word, "There are spies in Magic Cloud City. My friends, please be careful. Disciples of Magic Cloud City, listen up. Once you find the spies, surround and kill them on the spot!"
The Magic Cloud City had a circumference of dozens of miles. It was a huge city. Although the voice of the Idle Cloud Ancestor was not loud, it spread to every corner of the Magic Cloud City. It was a marvelous technique.
However, before many of the Magic Cloud City cultivators could be impressed by Xian Yun Laozu's remarkable skills, a shrill scream came from the south of the city. The high-pitched scream almost tore the eardrums of everyone present.
"Oh no, it's Brother Qingyun!"
Two mid Dharma adepts had fallen in Magic Cloud City one after another, and the cultivators in the city were suddenly in chaos. Everyone was in danger, and the defense against Mara outside the city was getting weaker. Magic Cloud City was about to fall!
