Looking at the direction in which the two left, Lu Ping stroked his chin. His eyes flickered as if he was thinking about something. After a while, Lu Ping stretched out his hand and waved it towards the Qing Ming River. He gradually turned into a stream of water, then turned into a cloud in mid-air and merged with the clouds in mid-air. The white cloud floated away leisurely in the direction in which Yang Huajun and Ying Ao left.
The Endless Mountain Peacock race was a huge race. They could all be considered the direct bloodline of Peng Daoren. However, in the Peacock race, there was also the Peacock royalty, and the most obvious sign of the Peacock royalty was the ability to condense a Life Plume Feather.
The importance of this Life Plume Feather to the Peacock royalty was no less than a Life Treasure. It was the medium through which many direct Divine Abilities of the Peacock royalty could be used, and it was also the symbol of the Peacock royalty's status.
However, this Life Plume Feather was of little value to the cultivators of the Human and Demon Races. This was because this Life Plume Feather seemed to have no other use other than as a decoration in their hands. Unless … it was used to make the Five Elements Spiritual Light Fan!
However, other than the Peacock royalty, who else had the inheritance of such a supreme Divine Ability? Other than the Peacock royalty, who else had the refining method of the Five Elements Spiritual Light Fan?
Originally, the Peacock royalty could have said confidently, "No!"
However, the two incidents where Yang Shujun's Life Plume Feather of the Five Elements Turtle and Yang Jichang's Life Plume Feather after being killed outside the Qing Ming River made it difficult for the Peacock royalty to figure out. Could it be that the refining method of the Five Elements Spiritual Light Fan was really passed down in the cultivation world?
But even so, without the direct bloodline of the Peacock royalty and the secret technique of the Peacock royalty to activate the Five Elements Spiritual Light Fan, even if they obtained it, how much power could they exert?
Although the practitioners of the Peacock royalty were puzzled, they had lost two of their Life Plume Feathers and a mid Dharma adept of the royal family. No matter what, the Peacock royalty could not tolerate this. However, at this time, the Peacock royalty had a tense relationship with the major and minor sects of the central mainland training world, led by the Lingyun Valley, because of the incident in Magic Cloud City. They could not spare more people to investigate the matter.
Helpless, the Peacock Royalty had no choice but to inform some of the Peacock Royalty members who were traveling about. Firstly, it was to raise their vigilance, and secondly, it was in the hope that they could conduct some investigations.
And Yang Huajun was undoubtedly a member of the Peacock royalty who was traveling, and he was accompanied by the young talent of the Lone Eagle, Ying Ao. After his famous uncle, Yang Jichang, was killed and his Life Plume Feather was taken, he and Ying Ao immediately began to investigate the matter.
A golden-red escape light flashed in the sky and landed on a hill not far away. The escape light disappeared, and Yang Huajun, who had a frosty expression, and Ying Ao, who was silent, walked out one after another.
"Brother Ao, why are you like this today?"
Yang Huajun asked coldly.
She understood what the elders of the royal family meant this time. After Ying Li died in the Five Elements Tortoise, the marriage between the Lone Eagle and the Peacock royalty was suddenly interrupted. However, there did not seem to be any estrangement between the two clans because of this. Although the five Peacock Princesses were safe and sound, in order to rescue the five princesses from the Five Elements Tortoise, the Peacock Royalty had lost two late Dharma adepts. This was a serious loss.
The two clans worked hard to unite. After the marriage between Ying Li and Yang Rujun failed, the two clans pushed out Yang Huajun and Ying Ao.
Both of them were the best of the younger generation of the two clans. Yang Huajun was the eldest princess of the Peacock royalty, and Ying Ao was the top expert of the younger generation of the Lone Eagle. In the eyes of the two clans, these two were a perfect match, and the significance of this was even greater than the marriage between Yang Rujun and Ying Li.
After the death of Ying Li, not only did the Peacock royalty and the Lone Eagle no longer have any animosity, but they also cooperated more closely.
This time, Yang Huajun and Ying Ao went out to travel together. In fact, it was an act of matchmaking by the elders of the two clans. Not only did Yang Huajun know about this, but Ying Ao also knew about it.
During the period of time they had spent together, the relationship between the two of them could be considered pleasant. However, both of them understood that there was a barrier between them. Both of them were prideful and cold people of few words. Even though Ying Ao took the initiative, it was obvious that Ying Ao wasn't used to it. It was just that the two of them had no choice but to brace themselves and adapt to each other due to their respective tribes and races.
However, this time, after seeing Lu Ping, Ying Ao no longer had his usual calmness. On the contrary, his performance could even be said to be clumsy, which made Yang Huajun very dissatisfied. He even did not hesitate to question Ying Ao.
Unexpectedly, Ying Ao's mind was subtle. Seeing that Yang Huajun stood on the side of Lu Ping, he was even more annoyed in his heart. However, after all, he was a sensitive person. Previously, he had lost his sense of propriety in front of Lu Ping and immediately became vigilant. Although Yang Huajun's questioning tone made him angry, he would not show this on his face. So, with a slightly ashamed expression, he said, "I shouldn't have done it. It's just that this person launched a sneak attack for no reason outside Magic Cloud City. You know that this person is very strong, but I suffered a big loss. When I saw him just now, I inevitably had the thought of revenge. I couldn't calm down for a while, so I seemed to have lost my composure."
"Oh?"
Yang Huajun frowned slightly and said, "Brother Ao once fought with Brother Lu outside Magic Cloud City?"
When Ying Ao heard Yang Huajun call Lu Ping "Brother", he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, but he still said, "Yes, at that time, this Lu Daoyou seemed to be coming out of Magic Cloud City."
Speaking of this, Ying Ao suddenly seemed to realize something. He exclaimed in surprise and said, "Could it be that this person discovered something and tried to stop me?"
Yang Huajun thought for a moment and shook his head. "It shouldn't be. When he came out of Magic Cloud City, he should have just returned from the South Sea. He shouldn't have anything to do with Magic Cloud City. As for attacking Brother Ao, it's a bit strange. Could it be because of Ying Li?"
Ying Ao was shocked when he heard this. He asked in a deep voice, "Why? Could it be that Brother Li's death is also related to this person?"
Yang Huajun was slightly startled. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "That's not it. But the two of them did have some conflict before, and Brother Li was defeated by Brother Lu."
Ying Ao's eyes were indeed glowing fiercely. He said, "In that case, Brother Li's death might be related to this person."
Yang Huajun still wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Ying Ao. He said, "I know what you mean, but when Brother Li died, he wasn't there. It doesn't mean that Brother Li's death has nothing to do with him. No matter what, I will investigate this matter. If it's really related to this person, hmph!"
Although Ying Ao didn't say what he would do, it wasn't difficult for Yang Huajun to guess. It was just that she didn't expect things to develop to this point with Ying Ao.
Originally, she also wanted to tell Ying Ao one thing. That was, in the woods outside Magic Cloud City, Lu Ping and his followers had slaughtered a group of Mara's team driven away by the Peacock race. At that time, Yang Zhongchang, who was responsible for driving away Mara, had reported this matter to the clan. Yang Huajun also knew about this matter in detail.
Yang Huajun originally thought that at that time, Lu Ping had actually discovered Yang Zhongchang and the others and realized the Peacock race's plot against Magic Cloud City, so he took action to deal with Ying Ao. After all, humans and demons were different. Although Lu Ping had nothing to do with Magic Cloud City, he didn't want the forces of the Demon Race to break through the blockade of the Endless Mountains and reach into the cultivation world of the Central Land occupied by the Human Race.
However, seeing Ying Ao's current appearance, Yang Huajun unconsciously swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. However, what Yang Huajun didn't know was that although this was Ying Ao's speculation, he had actually guessed the whole story. Ying Li was really killed by Lu Ping.
Yang Huajun looked up at the sky and felt that there was something wrong around this hill, so he said, "Brother Ao, no matter what, this Lu Tianping has saved our lives. I still hope that Brother Ao doesn't have enough evidence to make an enemy of this person. Moreover, this person's magical power is tyrannical, and it's not easy to deal with him."
When Ying Ao heard the first half of Yang Huajun's words, he was slightly dissatisfied. However, when he said the second half, he felt that Yang Huajun was concerned about him. He couldn't help but feel happy and said, "Sister Hua, don't worry. If I, Lone Eagle, want to kill someone, he won't be able to stop me just because his cultivation is high, right?"
Hearing this, Yang Huajun's face darkened. He said, "That's right. However, Brother Ao, if I remember correctly, the illustrious reputation of the aristocracy is mostly obtained from the bloodline of my Peng Daoren, right?"
Ying Ao secretly scolded himself for being muddle-headed all his life. Now that the Lone Eagle and the Peacock royalty had formed an alliance, they naturally let go of their past enmity. They didn't even have time to mention the past, yet he still brought it out to show off. He had to explain and beg for mercy again.
However, he saw that Yang Huajun's expression suddenly changed. Ying Ao originally thought that she was still angry about his slip of the tongue just now. Just when he was about to say something, he heard Yang Huajun say first, "Brother Ao, don't you feel that the vicinity of this hill is a little too quiet?"
Hearing this, Ying Ao was startled. The surroundings of this hill were completely covered by the forest, and in the distance were the flat farmlands on the banks of Qing Ming River. At this time, the forest should be bustling with the crisp chirping of birds, but now it was completely silent, not even a trace of wind.
Ying Ao was originally an expert in sneak attacks and ambushes. It was just that his state of mind was disturbed because of the matter with Lu Ping previously. Now that Yang Huajun had already reminded him, his heart suddenly quivered. Wasn't this scene in front of him a sign of being ambushed?
Ying Ao opened his palm, and a pair of small wing-like magic treasures with red edges and black feathers floated above his palm. Obviously, Ying Ao had already sensed the killing intent hidden in the surrounding forest.
However, with a glance, Yang Huajun saw a red scar on Ying Ao's palm that had just stopped bleeding. It was left by Lu Ping when he sneak attacked Lu Ping from behind. He couldn't help but ask, "How's the injury?"
Ying Ao smiled slightly and said, "It's fine!"
In fact, after being hit by Lu Ping's finger, Ying Ao had been trying his best to suppress the rampaging sword Qi in his palm. It was only just now that he was able to expel the sword Qi in his palm completely. While he was secretly amazed at the tyrannical strength of Lu Ping's cultivation, he couldn't help but secretly exclaim that it was a close call. If he was a little later, this hand would inevitably be affected in the battle, and he wouldn't be able to use 70 to 80 percent of his strength. That would be dangerous.
