The cultivators from the Nine Profound Tower suddenly sped up, quickly closing the distance between them and Qing Hu's group. They had clearly discovered that something was amiss with the mist that had suddenly appeared above the Azure Netherriver.
However, as the cultivators from the Nine Profound Tower suddenly sped up, a thick mist suddenly rose up from the surface of the river not far away from Cyan Fox's team of three. The mist billowed towards Cyan Fox's team.
Qing Hu's group's expressions changed slightly, but in the end, they didn't bother dodging the Nine Profound Tower cultivators behind them. Instead, they charged headfirst into the thick mist and disappeared without a trace.
The cultivators from the Nine Profound Tower seemed to pause in midair for a moment, but before they could do anything, the surging mist suddenly pounced on them and swallowed them whole.
Qing Hu's group of three immediately lost their sense of direction after entering the mist. They flew as fast as they could, but they couldn't get out of the mist. Their Divine Sense spread out in all directions, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea. The three of them knew that they had run into an ambush set up by another powerful cultivator.
The three of them were on their guard, but their surroundings were completely silent. After a while, a rustling sound suddenly came from within the mist. Green Wolf pointed downwards, and Green Fox understood that Green Wolf was referring to the Azure Netherworld River.
The three of them suddenly stopped flying and started descending. As long as they could land in the Azure Netherriver, they would naturally be able to escape the mist formation.
"Why are you running?"
A soft voice rang in the ears of the three, but it was no less than a clap of thunder. The three of them stood up in shock, only to discover that although the three of them had been falling all the way, it seemed that they had not fallen even an inch.
But why did that voice sound so familiar?
Qing Lang hurriedly looked at Qing Hu, only to see her expression suddenly calm down. There was even a hint of joy in her eyes.
Was it really Lu Tianping?
A cloud of mist condensed in front of the three of them, gradually forming the outline of a person. As the mist continued to fuse with the person, the person's outline also gradually became clearer. Who else could it be but Lu Tianping?
"Haha, I came to greet you guys first. Those Nine Profound Tower cultivators aren't easy to deal with!"
This' Lu Ping 'smiled faintly and explained to the crowd, "I was so focused on dealing with the Nine Profound Pavilion cultivators that I forgot to inform you guys."
Qinghu exclaimed, "Divine sense projection? Isn't this a skill that only late Dharma adepts who have gone through the second Thunder Trial have? How did you manage to do it? " Qinghu's eyes darted around, and he suddenly said, "No wonder you defeated the Fourth Elder of the Tenma people. You've already reached the late Dharma stage, I knew it!" Qinghu and Qinghu looked at each other, and Qinghu could not help but say, "Second Brother, shut up!"
Qing Hu was infuriated. Just as he was about to curse at Qing Lang, he heard Qing Hu ask, "How about you? Can you handle it? Those seven Nine Profound Pavilion cultivators are all heir disciples. Three of them are the guardians of Seven Star Pavilion, Eight Trigrams Pavilion, and Nine Palace Pavilion. Their cultivation bases are probably not inferior to yours."
Lu Ping smiled and said, "I have the geographical advantage on the Qing Ming River. I can handle it for now."
Qinghu also knew that he had said the wrong thing. Lu Ping could not be a late Dharma adept, but hearing that he could handle seven Nine Profound Pavilion cultivators by himself and still have time to converse with the three of them through the Divine Sense Projection technique, Qinghu said sincerely, "Impressive! I'm impressed!"
It was important to know that the three of them had been chased by the seven Nine Profound Pavilion cultivators for nearly ten thousand miles to the south. Naturally, they knew how powerful these seven people were. The more they knew, the more Qinghu admired Lu Tianping's abilities.
Lu Ping only smiled at Qinghu's praise. Although the Divine Sense Projection was a shadow, Lu Ping had used his Divine Sense to condense water vapor. In fact, it could be considered as having a body. This was quite similar to the "Art of Deception", and it could also be clearly displayed in Lu Ping's application.
"Did you guys come all the way to the south just to find me?"
Qinghu made a sound of surprise and said, "How did you know we were going all the way south?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "I was there when you guys helped Yang Huajun and Ying Ao escape. I didn't want to see those two, so I didn't tell you guys that I was hiding nearby. After that, I saw the Nine Profound Pavilion cultivators chasing after you guys, so I went back to the Qing Ming River first and made some arrangements, waiting for you guys to come over."
After Lu Ping explained the whole story, the three of them were even more shocked. First Princess Yang Huajun and Lone Eagle Ying Ao, and then Yuwen Jinglei, who came later, were all famous practitioners. Including Qinghu himself, they were all mid Dharma adepts like Lu Ping. However, they never knew that someone was hiding near them.
Lu Ping asked again, "Previously, when we were in the South Sea, I heard from Su Jin of the Purple Sun Palace that the nine of you had offended the Nine Profound Pavilion. After that, it was Brother Xie and Brother Sang who intervened to settle the matter. Why is the Nine Profound Pavilion looking for you guys again? Did something happen to Brother Xie and Brother Sang?"
Qinghu nodded and said, "The last time Brother Xie and Brother Yi tried to punish the Nine Profound Pavilion, they were summoned back to their respective sects and never appeared again. However, this time, the Nine Profound Pavilion is chasing us because we provoked them first."
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
Lu Ping nodded, then suddenly frowned and said, "Aiyo, wait a moment. I didn't expect this girl from the Nine Profound Pavilion to have such a treasure on her!"
As soon as Lu Ping finished speaking, the Divine Will projection in front of him suddenly dissipated. The real body that was fighting the Nine Profound Pavilion had obviously run into some trouble, and Lu Ping had no choice but to withdraw his Divine Will. The dissipated body turned into a spray of water, then fell down like a drizzle.
The three of them looked at each other, then quickly stood back to back, on high alert. Next, they saw the thick fog around them move in a certain direction. Soon after, the fog thinned. Clearly, the Fog Array that Lu Ping had just set up was about to be broken.
Soon after, a cry of alarm came from within the fog, followed by a series of violent explosions. The violent shockwaves of Spiritual Energy caused the rapidly shrinking fog to dissipate, but the fog continued to move in a certain direction. At the same time, a cacophony of curses could be heard, mixed with Zhu Jiuluan's slightly shrill voice.
Clearly, Lu Ping and the Nine Profound Pavilion's cultivators had encountered each other. However, from the sounds of the battle, it seemed that the Nine Profound Pavilion's cultivators were the ones at a disadvantage.
Suddenly, a dark light shone from the thick fog. The light grew brighter and brighter, and the surrounding fog became thinner and thinner. Then, a figure appeared a hundred feet away from Qing Hu and the others. The three of them tensed up, but they quickly realized that the figure's back was facing them, and it seemed to be Lu Ping himself.
As the fog thinned, it flowed even faster, until finally, the fog retracted and disappeared into the spout of the glowing teapot.
A jade-like hand beckoned to the air, and the black teapot slowly fell into it. This person was the Nine Profound Pavilion's direct disciple, Zhu Jiuluan.
At this time, there were only six people in Zhu Jiuluan's group gathered together, and they were about a hundred meters away from Azurefox and the others. One of them seemed to have suffered serious injuries, and his face was pale. He was being supported by two of his fellow disciples, who were also sweating profusely and seemed to be treating his injuries. Lu Ping stood in front of the three, facing Zhu Jiuluan and the others from a distance.
"Lu Tianping of the North Sea?"
Zhu Jiuluan stared at the person in front of her, and as for Azurefox and the others behind Lu Ping, they were completely ignored.
Lu Ping smiled faintly and said, "That's me."
Zhu Jiuluan's expression was extremely ugly, and she said coldly, "Do you want to make an enemy of my Nine Profound Pavilion?"
Lu Ping smiled faintly, "I wouldn't dare to be your enemy, but you don't seem to be the leader of the Nine Profound Pavilion. Fellow Daoist Zhu is too full of yourself."
The anger on Zhu Jiuluan's face deepened, but the more angry she was, the more fearful she was of Lu Ping. She continued, "What relationship do you have with Azurefox and the others, for you to be willing to make an enemy of my Nine Profound Pavilion?"
Lu Ping still had a calm expression on his face, and he said, "I've already said that although you're the Nine Palace Guardian of the Nine Profound Pavilion, you can't represent the entire Nine Profound Pavilion. As for Azure Fox and the others, you've suffered at the hands of Brother Xie of the Purple Sun Palace and Brother Sang of the Spirit Taming Beast Sect, yet I'm very close to those two. Surely you're aware of the relationship between us, Fellow Daoist Zhu? "
Back then, Xie Tianyang and Sang Yu had punished the two Nine Profound Pavilion Masters because of Azurefox, and this matter had caused quite a stir in the Central Plains' cultivation world. Many sects had even interfered, and Xie Tianyang and Sang Yu had been summoned back by their respective sects to cultivate in seclusion. From Lu Ping's point of view, it was more like facing the wall and reflecting on their mistakes.
Zhu Jiuluan naturally knew that Xie Tianyang and Sang Yu had defeated the two Tower Masters of the Nine Mystical Tower. The reason why she had risen from the top ten of the Nine Mystical Tower's direct disciples to the position of Guardian Tower Master of the Nine Palace Tower was partly because of Ancestor Zhu Ba Jie, but in fact, it was also because the previous two Tower Masters had been demoted by the Nine Mystical Tower.
Zhu Jiuluan glanced at the injured Junior Brother beside her and said coldly, "Since Lu Daoyou insists on getting involved in this mess, I have nothing else to say. I ask Lu Daoyou to release my Eighth Senior Brother and cure Junior Brother Xu of the cold poison. We'll leave immediately after that!"
Azurefox and the others immediately shuddered. Lu Ping had actually captured the Nine Profound Pavilion Master. Qinghu didn't even think about it and immediately shouted, "You can't release him!"
The expressions of Zhu Jiuluan and the others immediately changed. Lu Ping also looked slightly surprised as he turned to look at the three of them. However, Azurefox explained, "Brother Lu, the other party has captured Fourth Brother, Seventh Sister, and Eighth Brother. I hope Brother Lu can help them and exchange for them."
