Magic Cloud City had lost two mid Dharma adepts in succession, and they were killed by a sneak attack in the city. This made everyone in Magic Cloud City feel insecure. Xian Yun Laozu was even more furious. With a flash of light under his feet, he had already arrived at the south of the city.
The top of the southern wall had long since fallen into a state of chaos. The only ones capable of calming down and resisting Mo Luo's tide-like attacks were the disciples from Magic Cloud City. As for the cultivators who had temporarily stepped forward to assist in the defence, they had long since scattered like birds and beasts.
Several disciples of Qingyun Laozu were guarding Qingyun Laozu's body. When they saw Xian Yun Laozu coming, they all cried and said, "Uncle, please avenge Master!"
Qingyun Laozu's chest was pierced through, and his heart had disappeared. Obviously, he had been killed by a sneak attack from behind.
However, Qingyun Laozu was a real mid Dharma adept. It had been nearly 200 years since he had passed his first Thunder Calamity. He could be considered a veteran Dharma adept. How could he be killed so easily by a sneak attack? Could it be that the murderer was a Grand Practitioner?
Thinking of this, even Xian Yun Laozu could not help but feel a chill. At this critical moment, what did it mean for a Grand Practitioner to be stirring up trouble in the city? Xian Yun Laozu, who was not a Grand Practitioner himself, knew very well what it meant. Moreover, the other party was obviously proficient in the art of concealment.
"The Old Man will go and capture the murderer himself. You and the rest of you should first take care of Junior Brother Qingyun's body, and then do your best to guard the city wall. Do not let Mara cross the city wall!"
The Free Cloud Old Ancestor said this and turned around to leave. However, he heard a loud sound that shook the sky. The entire Great Protective Array trembled. The Great Protective Array that was already red became even more dazzling. A loud roar came from outside the city. The Free Cloud Old Ancestor's footsteps stopped, and his expression changed. The Asura had made a move!
The Idle Cloud Ancestor did not dare to be careless. His body flashed and he appeared in the direction where Asura had appeared. However, just as he was about to step out of the city's protective formation, the entire Magic Cloud City's protective formation suddenly shook violently.
This time, it was different from the chaotic tremors caused by Mara's attack or the impact of Asura's attack on a certain part of the formation. Instead, the entire formation was trembling.
Something must have gone wrong with the formation plate of the City Protecting Grand Formation. Not only was Bai Yun Laozu, who was also a Grand Cultivator, standing guard there, but there were also disciples of Magic Cloud City guarding it. How could there be a problem? Oh no, Junior Sister Bai Yun!
Xian Yun Laozu's footsteps paused again. The Asura outside the city let out another loud roar, and the city-protecting formation shook again.
Where? Save that place first!
He was panicking. A great late Dharma adept was really panicking now!
The Northern Pavilion Master of the Skyward Pavilion was also panicking!
He had been instigated by Xun Liuhe to intercept Lu Tianping of the North Sea. At this moment, how could he not understand that he had been tricked by those two bastards from the Nine Xuan Tower?
Third, they were immoral, and sixth, they were indecent!
What a great reputation! How could the Five Great Holy Lands produce two such hateful direct disciples? They were simply a disgrace to the cultivators of the Holy Lands! How could the Nine Mystical Tower allow the two of them to take on this mission!
In fact, when Sima Chongfeng heard Chang Sancai and Xun Liuhe talking about how great Lu Tianping of the North Sea was, and how the heirs of the Five Great Holy Lands were only so-so, he already knew what the two of them were up to. However, he still could not help but come. The only thing that persisted was the pride in his heart and his curiosity towards this Water Sword Deity who had risen from a poor place like the North Sea and made a name for himself!
It was only now that Sima Chongfeng understood that the reason why those two unrefined and frivolous fellows had used such despicable methods to instigate him was because they were targeting his pride and curiosity. They had predicted that he would not be able to help but come.
After understanding the cause and effect, Sima Chongfeng immediately understood that the two of them had probably already suffered a loss at the hands of Lu Tianping. They had schemed to bring him here with them to bear the reputation of the Five Great Holy Lands. Moreover, no one knew if the two of them had instigated others to come.
The more people who came, the more they would lose. Everyone would be tarnished, and naturally, no one would laugh at anyone else. It was a classic case of harming others without benefiting oneself. Only those two bastards from the Nine Xuan Tower would dare to do such a thing so openly.
The heirs of the Five Great Holy Lands would certainly not let this matter go. At that time, the first and second heirs would not be able to sit still as this concerned the honor of their sects. At least among the heirs of the Eight Pavilion Masters of the Skyward Pavilion, Sima Chongfeng, the Northern Pavilion Master, was only ranked fourth. There were still the Eastern, Southern, and Western Pavilion Masters above him.
Both sides were not fighting to the death. Lu Ping also had some misgivings about the heirs of the Holy Lands of the Skyward Pavilion. Although he had guessed that the Northern Pavilion Master, who had stopped him halfway, might have been tempted to come here, he still fought with this person. Neither of them used any magic treasures or spiritual treasures. They only used various magical powers and spells to fight.
In the end, 36 of Lu Ping's 81 cloud dragons were blown away by Sima Chongfeng, but the remaining 45 firmly formed a formation and imprisoned Sima Chongfeng's 24 Gale Purple Cranes in mid-air.
"The North Sea Water Swordsman's swordsmanship is divine. I didn't expect your magical powers to be so amazing. Sima Chongfeng has learned something!"
Sima Chongfeng said and waved his hand indifferently. The 24 Gale Purple Cranes that were imprisoned in the cloud dragons by Lu Ping immediately disappeared.
Lu Ping smiled and said, "I don't deserve that. Brother Sima's Wind Cranes did not have the advantage in the forest beside the Qingming River. I just had the geographical advantage."
Sima Chongfeng did not deny it. He only said, "I heard that you are also here for the Northern Alliance's treasure ship. Someone must have told you about this before. If it is not necessary, it is better for the three of you not to get involved."
Lu Ping found it strange and could not help but ask, "What is it that could cause the Five Great Holy Lands to act together? Brother Sima, can you tell me a thing or two?"
Sima Chongfeng shook his head and said, "Goodbye. Lu Daoyou, if you have time in the future, you can come to the Skyward Pavilion for a chat. I, Sima Chongfeng, will be waiting for you!"
With that, Sima Chongfeng turned around and flew away.
Liu Tianyuan said behind him, "I am afraid this is the doing of the two heirs of the Nine Mystical Tower. They are the heirs of a Holy Land, but their methods are too despicable!"
Tian Tian said, "I am afraid this is not over. If the two from the Nine Mystical Tower can instigate the Northern Pavilion Master to come, it is hard to say that they will not instigate the Six Swords of the Purple Sun Palace, the Five Great Juzi, and the Seven Rainbow Lights. Under such a continuous battle, even if Junior Brother is made of iron, I am afraid you will not be able to handle it!"
The battle with Sima Chongfeng did not consume much energy, but it was extremely exhausting. Both sides controlled the objects formed by the yuan qi transformation technique to fight back and forth, competing in the operation of the divine sense and the control of the true essence of both sides, all of which were subtle details. It was clear that Sima Chongfeng must have cultivated a similar secret technique or magic treasure to help him.
It was a pity that Lu Ping's Divine Sense was different from that of ordinary people, and he also had the help of the Cloud Sail to help him control his Divine Sense, as well as the Linglong Wine Cauldron to regulate the True Essence in his body. Only then did he manage to suppress Sima Chongfeng.
Although the battle between the two was not a fight to the death, judging from the two Spirit Treasures that Lu Ping had used, the strength that was displayed was not at all as easy as a battle of magical powers.
"We will just try our best to avoid it."
Lu Ping did not mind this kind of battle of magical powers, especially against the direct disciples of the Holy Lands. This was beneficial to the growth of Lu Ping's strength. After advancing to the mid Dharma stage, Lu Ping had not fully adapted to the effects of the increase in his strength. Previously, when he was fighting Nanyu Laozu in the South Sea, he could only use seventy to eighty percent of his strength. Therefore, only by training with opponents of similar strength could he be able to quickly use his own strength and control it.
The only worry was that, just like what Tian Tian had said, the battle would eventually become a matter of the major sects defending their honor. At that time, there would be conflict, and Lu Ping would become the target of public criticism. That would be self-defeating.
"Oh yes," Lu Ping suddenly thought of something and asked, "how did the news of the Northern Alliance's treasure ship spread? According to the voyage, the strange phenomenon on the treasure ship should still be at sea. Could it be that someone happened to see it?"
Liu Tianyuan said, "The news we received came from the East Sea. It is said that the Taoist partner of a disciple of Hanye Laozu was originally a disciple of Gui Ye Laozu. The disciple was grateful for the love between the two of them, so he brought her on the treasure ship. Unexpectedly, this Taoist partner resented Hanye Laozu's betrayal of the Northern Alliance, so after discovering the Taoist partner, she escaped when the treasure ship entered the estuary of the Qing Ming River. Then, she sneaked into the long-distance teleportation array of the Skyward Pavilion and returned to the East Sea. She spread the news of the treasure ship having the Taoist partner. After that, she was quickly controlled by the cultivators of the Crystal Palace. However, the news of the Taoist partner did spread more and more. After Uncle Tianfeng received the news, he reported it to the sect, and the head sent the two of us here to investigate."
"Do you know what the Taoist partner is?"
"According to the female cultivator who escaped, it was a handkerchief with Jiao Daoren's handwriting on it."
"Jiao Daoren's handwriting?"
Lu Ping exclaimed.
At that moment, Lu Ping, who had decided to watch the show after seeing the situation become stranger, could no longer hold back his desire to take it for himself.
It was fine if it was the other Heaven-splitting Daoists' handwriting, but it just had to be Jiao Daoren's handwriting!
Why was the Purple Sun Palace known as the number one sword sect in the world?
The fundamental reason was that one of the founders of the Purple Sun Palace, Laozu, Purple Sword Laozu, had once been Jiao Daoren's concubine for a period of time when Jiao Daoren was traveling the world preaching Daoism.
Being Jiao Daoren's concubine was nothing embarrassing. Moreover, Purple Sword Laozu seemed to be rather doted on by Jiao Daoren. When she left Jiao Daoren, she had even asked for a sword technique personally written by Jiao Daoren, as well as a few flying swords that Jiao Daoren had used in passing.
Afterwards, Purple Sword Laozu founded the Purple Sun Palace with a few like-minded people. The flying swords naturally became the legacy treasures of the Purple Sun Palace, while the sword technique personally written by Jiao Daoren became the foundation for the Purple Sun Palace to rise up.
