The battle between Lu Ping and Nanyu Laozu was a fight to the death, and the battle with Hanye Laozu was a hasty one. Only the battle with Chu Yuntian could be considered a battle that Lu Ping had long prepared for.
In the battle with Nanyu Laozu, Lu Ping had relied on the Sword of the Real Spirit, Mo Li. In the battle with Hanye Laozu, Lu Ping had completely established the confidence to fight against late Dharma adepts. Therefore, in this battle with Chu Yuntian, Lu Ping could be considered to be at ease from start to finish.
Chu Yuntian smiled and said, "Please let the three little ones out, Lu Xiaoyou. The Old Man has some gifts for them."
The Green Sea Snakes had always loved each other, and this was especially true for the younger generation. Previously, Chu Haitian and Chu Hailan had both given gifts when they met Samling. This time, Chu Yuntian was no exception.
Lu Ping was naturally happy to let Samling benefit, so he opened the space portal. However, when Samling appeared, he looked at Chu Yuntian with an expression of hostility.
Chu Yuntian laughed bitterly, and Lu Ping explained the situation to Samling. Only then did the expression on Samling's face lighten up.
Although Samling looked like he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he still had some of the nature of a child. Seeing that Chu Yuntian was originally an elder of the tribe, he already felt a sense of closeness in his heart. If not for the fact that he had suddenly become an enemy of Lu Ping, Samling would not have been so hostile towards Chu Yuntian. However, after Chu Yuntian explained the situation, and seeing the gifts that Chu Yuntian had given them, Samling thanked him and hid in a corner, giggling and comparing the gifts.
Seeing Samling like this, Chu Yuntian also smiled and said to Lu Ping, "Lu Xiaoyou has put in a lot of effort for these three children. All three of them have condensed a ninth-grade Golden Core. Even among the third generation disciples of the tribe, their status is equivalent to the status of direct descendants like Tsunami and Haitou. Now, among the fourth generation disciples of the tribe, there is not a single one who has reached the peak of the Core Forging stage."
Seeing that Lu Ping was smiling without saying anything, Chu Yuntian thought for a moment, then said, "I will not hide this from you, little friend. If Samling returns to the tribe in the future, I am afraid that you will have to be prepared for a more severe test."
Lu Ping frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Chu Yuntian said with a smile, "The three children are too outstanding. Do you think the stubborn elders of our tribe will agree to let such outstanding children be their followers?"
Lu Ping was silent, his expression uncertain. No one knew what he was thinking. Chu Yuntian chuckled and said, "That is all the Old Man has said. Lu Xiaoyou, you are on your own. In short, even if our tribe has the power to hinder you, little friend, the Green Sea Snakes have their own rules. As long as you follow the rules, no one can say anything."
As he spoke, he had disappeared. Lu Ping was not surprised at all. Therefore, Lu Ping could clearly sense that Chu Yuntian had just used an extremely brilliant Water Escaping Technique.
If it was any other cultivator, perhaps they would feel bewildered by Chu Yuntian's miraculous way of disappearing. If they were more suspicious, they might even think that Chu Yuntian was hiding at the side, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
Chu Yuntian had been forced into a slightly embarrassing situation by Lu Ping before. Chu Yuntian had used this secret technique this time to save some face. However, if he knew that Lu Ping had seen through him with just a glance, he would probably be even more depressed for a long time.
Lu Ping's Divine Sense swept out, and all the cultivators hiding within a radius of dozens of miles retreated in shock. The battle between Lu Ping and Chu Yuntian just now had attracted the attention of many cultivators. At this time, those who knew Lu Tianping of the North Sea naturally knew that this person was a cultivator in the cultivation world who was not weaker than the heir of a Holy Land. Naturally, they did not dare to provoke him again.
Even if there were those who did not know Lu Tianping of the North Sea, when they saw that Lu Ping was actually able to fight against a Peak Cultivator, they naturally did not dare to cause trouble. Seeing Lu Ping's Divine Sense sweeping out, everyone naturally avoided him.
Lu Ping, who had mastered the third supreme Divine Sense, was naturally in a good mood. He did not care about those cultivators who were still far behind him, trying to find out his whereabouts. With a slight stomp of his feet, Lu Dagui's huge body shook slightly. Once again, he split the turbulent Qingming River and swam upstream.
Lu Ping's original purpose for this trip was to perfect the [East Flowing River Sword Skill]. He wanted to create a peerless sword skill to be passed down to the future generations. But who would've thought that before he could master the [East Flowing River Sword Skill], he would first create a peerless sword skill called [Sky Boiling Sword Skill].
However, before he could comprehend the sword technique, Lu Ping had to continue his journey in the Qingming River.
However, this time, Lu Ping did not hide the existence of the Samling. In the water around the Black Tortoise, the Samling happily played with each other. As the spirits of the water, wherever the Black Tortoise passed, the Qingming River would be stirred up by them. However, with Lu Ping's suppression, there was no need to worry about the danger of the flood breaking the dam.
The Qingming River was the largest river in the Central Region. Naturally, there were demons in the water. However, after noticing the previous battle and the aura of the top-level bloodline of the Green Sea Snakes, most of the demons in the Qingming River chose to stay dormant and let the Samling stir up the wind and rain on the river.
After Chu Yuntian's previous test, the Green Sea Snakes temporarily admitted that Lu Ping had the qualification of Samling as an inheritor. However, Lu Ping also knew that after Chu Yuntian came to test him and brought back the news of Samling's current cultivation, especially the news that Samling had condensed a Level Nine Gold Core, Lu Ping would inevitably encounter more difficulties in the Green Sea Snakes in the future. Whether the Green Sea Snakes approved of their clansmen becoming followers of others or not, they would unite to resist Lu Ping and take the Samling away from their clansmen under the principle of not breaking the rules of their clansmen.
Even among the Green Sea Snakes, how many disciples of the younger generation who had condensed a Level Nine Gold Core could appear? And those who appeared were all cultivated with the power of their clansmen. How could they be willing to let go of them to become followers of others?
Lu Ping and the others went along the river. After a long time, the surface of the Qingming River became smoother and wider. The river wind blew, and only the sound of the waves when the Samling played could be heard. The river became more and more quiet.
The Samling seemed to notice something and seemed to be tired of playing. He shrunk his body and climbed onto the back of the Black Tortoise.
Lu Ping stood at the front of the Black Tortoise's shell and looked at the river in front of him with bright eyes, as if he was enjoying the scenery of the river in the far distance.
At this moment, Lu Ping suddenly sneered and said, "Is this interesting? When are you going to hide your head and show your tail?"
"Hmph!"
A cold snort suddenly exploded in Lu Ping's ears. However, Lu Ping still looked calm and relaxed. However, the corner of his eye twitched slightly. So it was another great adept of the late Dharma stage.
"Only someone from a poor place like the North Sea who has never seen the world would act so ostentatiously on the Qingming River. Young lad, do you really think that the Central Plains practitioners are easy to deal with?"
An old voice came from the river. However, Lu Ping immediately turned his gaze to the void in the northeast direction and laughed. "I was wondering who it was. So it's Ma SiThe Great Ma Li. I haven't seen you for more than a hundred years, but Elder Ma looks rather hale and hearty. It looks like you've already passed the second Thunder Trial and have another two hundred years to live."
As soon as Lu Ping finished speaking, an old man stepped out from the void in the northeast direction where Lu Ping could see. It was the fourth elder of the Tenma people, Ma Li, who had chased after Lu Ping and the others for thousands of miles in the west.
At this moment, the fourth elder of the Tenma people seemed to have an unfathomable aura. It was obvious that he had already passed the second Thunder Trial and had become a great adept of the late Dharma stage. However, he did not look too good now. It was obvious that he had not expected Lu Ping to be able to see through his concealment with just one look.
Following the appearance of Ma SiThe Great, two more mid Dharma adepts of the Tenma people appeared on the surface of the river a few hundred feet behind Lu Ping. It was obvious that they wanted to block off Lu Ping's escape route.
Even though he was surrounded by a great adept and two adepts of the same level, Lu Ping did not panic at all. Instead, he smiled at Ma SiThe Great and asked, "I wonder if Fourth Elder has come all the way from the west to come here. Do you have any advice for me?"
Ma SiThe Great's face was as dark as still water. He laughed coldly and said, "The death of the fourth young master of the Sacred Lake Tribe is very suspicious. The Old Man has come under the orders of the Tribe Leader to ask Lu Daoyou to follow the Old Man back to the west to clear himself of suspicion."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "Since Fourth Elder has come under the orders of the Tribe Leader, how can I not see the Tribe Leader's flag?"
Every major force in the world of practitioners like the Tenma people had their own set of rules to govern the world. This was also the embodiment of the status of these major forces in the world of practitioners.
The token that the Tenma people used to travel around the world was the Celestial Horse Flag, which was a fine horse flapping its wings and flying on the flag.
Since Ma SiThe Great wanted to capture Lu Ping and bring him back to the west, he naturally had to show his reasoning in the world of practitioners. Otherwise, if he lost his moral foundation, he would break the rules of the cultivation world. This might be a big trouble for the Tenma people.
Moreover, Lu Tianping's reputation in the North Sea could be considered as the sun in the sky among the third generation cultivators. If the Tenma people did not want to cause any trouble, they had to either capture or kill someone like Lu Ping in one fell swoop without leaving any evidence or future troubles, or they had to have solid evidence to uphold their moral principles. Otherwise, they would not easily make a move to avoid unnecessary trouble.
It was true that the weak were prey to the strong in the world of practitioners. However, if the strength of the two parties was on par, they also had to pay attention to right and wrong. The formation of this rule could be considered as a merit that the five holy lands had strongly advocated in the Middle Mainland for tens of thousands of years.
Ma SiThe Great secretly clenched his teeth. Previously, when Lu Ping revealed their whereabouts with a shout, his previous plan could not be carried out. He did not expect that Lu Ping could actually discover the whereabouts of the Tenma people so easily. While he was secretly fearful, he did not expect that Lu Ping would have so many "tails" following behind him.
If the Tenma people captured Lu Ping for no reason, with his current status in the cultivation world, it was hard to guarantee that it would cause a great disturbance. With the current power of the Tenma people, although they might not be afraid of it, it would still be a troublesome matter.
Moreover, just like what Lu Ping had said, this time, Ma SiThe Great came because of a personal grudge, and not because of Ma Chenxi's death.
