Looking at Lu Ping, whose expression kept changing, Xiao Baiyu smiled again and said, "I forgot to tell you, the two Wuxing School practitioners who are chasing after us are at the late Dharma stage!"
Lu Ping's expression became even uglier. He smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, you are the Pure Yang Laozu. How can a Minor Repairs Disciple like me fathom what you are planning? Even if I were to join in, what use would I be?"
Xiao Baiyu seemed to be able to guess Lu Ping's thoughts and said, "Furthermore, I'm afraid you are still thinking that if we are in danger, you will be the first to be pushed out as cannon fodder. Is that right?"
Lu Ping's silence was, in fact, a tacit approval of this matter.
The things that the Pure Yang Laozu planned were often things that could decide the life and death of a sect with a single word. Judging from Xiao Baiyu's tone, Xiao Baiyu was not the only Pure Yang who wanted to pull Lu Ping into the group. Moreover, if several Pure Yang practitioners were to gather together, what they planned would not only be the life and death of a sect, but also the life and death of the entire cultivation world.
Lu Ping trembled at the thought of such an important matter. Not to mention whether he was qualified to participate in it, even if he was, with the weight of Zhenling behind him, if anything went wrong, the Pure Yang practitioners could just leave, and their opponents would not be able to take revenge on the Pure Yang practitioners. However, if that happened, Zhenling would become the punching bag of the Pure Yang practitioners.
Although Zhenling currently had the strength of a large sect, in the eyes of these Pure Yang practitioners, it was really nothing!
What did Xiao Baiyu and the group behind him see in him?
Xiao Baiyu laughed involuntarily and said, "The reason why I pulled you into the group was actually Laozu's idea. It was also because of your potential that the Old Man decided to help you. Moreover, you may be able to receive guidance from people like the Old Man here, which will undoubtedly reduce the number of detours in your cultivation. If you can advance to the Pure Yang level in the future, at least our organization will have a successor."
In fact, he had taken a fancy to Lu Ping's potential. However, when Lu Ping thought about how the Pure Yang practitioners of the Six Holy Lands, Laozu, had joined forces to kill him on the Qingming River outside Magic Cloud City, he could not help but shudder.
Lu Ping tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then said, "If it was just me, even if I knew that the organization you are in is full of danger, I would not hesitate to join it. After all, as the saying goes, 'Wealth comes from danger'. However, I have a sect behind me. The sect I belong to is not as good as the Pure Yang practitioners of Laozu. If my identity is exposed, I don't think that Zhenling can stand firm under the thunderous wrath of the Six Holy Lands."
Xiao Baiyu was startled and said, "You have to think about it carefully. Although Zhenling has ten thousand years of inheritance, the one who is really outstanding is only the Grand Ginseng Laozu, who is six or seven thousand years old. Including the Pure Yang practitioners of Laozu and the True Soul, there is only one of them. Moreover, as far as the Old Man knows, this Laozu did not stay in the Pure Yang cultivation for a long time and did not have the time to leave too many arrangements for Zhenling. Otherwise, Zhenling would not have been able to continue the inheritance of a medium-sized sect for such a long time after this Laozu. So, if you want to advance to the Pure Yang level in the future, there will not be many things that you can learn from, so it will be very difficult."
Seeing that Lu Ping was not moved, Xiao Baiyu continued, "If you can join us, the Old Man will help you rescue the three Green Sea Snakes. What do you think?"
This last point made Lu Ping very tempted, but in the end, Lu Ping still shook his head and said, "Senior, you don't have to worry about it, I will solve it myself!"
Xiao Baiyu's face stiffened. With his status, he had once again tried to rope in a Minor Repairs at the mid Dharma stage, but unexpectedly, his good words were still rejected. Naturally, he was angry. However, before he could lose his temper, Lu Ping's figure suddenly flew backward. While Xiao Baiyu was stunned, Lu Ping went straight to the two great cultivators from Wuxing School who were chasing after him.
Lu Ping would rather face the pursuit of the cultivators from Wuxing School than accept Xiao Baiyu's help. For a moment, Xiao Baiyu was a little shocked.
However, after Lu Ping left, the air beside Xiao Baiyu fluctuated, and a man in his fifties, Laozu, suddenly appeared there. It looked as if this old man had been standing there all along. Previously, Lu Ping was just a few feet away from Xiao Baiyu, but he did not notice the presence of another person beside Xiao Baiyu.
"Hmph, what an ungrateful junior. I don't know why you value him so much. If it was the Old Man, I would have killed him directly!"
The old man was obviously very dissatisfied with Xiao Baiyu's accommodating of Lu Ping, thinking that this was really damaging to the reputation of a Pure Yang cultivator.
However, just as the old man finished speaking, not far behind Xiao Baiyu, an old man who also looked like an old farmer appeared and said, "I think this kid has some character. Brother Xiao, why don't you test him again?"
If Lu Ping was here, he would definitely recognize the old man who had appeared behind him. He was the Pure Yang cultivator from the Tianxuan Sect, Qi Fan Laozu.
"Oh?"
The old man in his fifties obviously did not expect Qi Fan Laozu to value a Minor Repairs at the mid Dharma stage so much. He said, "Although that Minor Repairs just now is quite strong, isn't it a bit too much to say that he is worthy of the two of you's attention?"
Xiao Baiyu and Qi Fan Laozu looked at each other. Xiao Baiyu laughed and said, "This guy's swordsmanship is not bad. Unfortunately, he is not a pure swordsman. The Old Man would like to change his habits!"
Qi Fan Laozu said, "This kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeves. Back then, he was only at the late Core Forging stage, but he was able to kill a Dharma direct disciple of the Taixuan Sect. He is also very cunning and intelligent. If he were to stand on our side and achieve something in the future, he would definitely be a great help to us and a great enemy of the six holy lands!"
The old man somewhat agreed with Qi Fan Laozu's words. After all, it could be considered as a reason. As for what Xiao Baiyu had said, the old man pursed his lips. Xiao Baiyu wanted to give him some pointers? Did he want to find a successor? Even if he wanted to find one, there were plenty in Skyrend. Why would he need to poach someone from a medium-sized sect?
At this time, an irritable voice sounded from above the three of them. "That kid is not bad. My clan's child once mentioned to me that those who are stronger than my clan's children are considered to be very rare among cultivators of the same level. If we want to make him our disciple, we can just capture him. Why would he dare to resist? Why is he so long-winded? Can't we get down to business?"
Xiao Baiyu dug his ears, as if the irritable voice had hurt his earlobes. He then said, "Brother Yuan, why are you so impatient? There are many strange things happening this time. How did the Nine Mystical Tower provoke such a huge army of Mara for no reason? They have been besieged for more than ten years. Since we are here, why don't we try to find out the reason?"
The fifty year old Laozu looked displeased. "Then what about the Wuxing School's theft of the Qing Ming River?"
Xiao Baiyu said, "Without the Spirit Treasure, even if the Wuxing School manages to draw the Qing Ming River's water vein, it is not impossible for them to completely connect the Qing Ming River and the Yulan River's water vein, but it is not something that can be done in a short period of time."
The fifty year old Laozu retorted, "The Nine Mystical Tower has been besieged for more than ten years, and the Wuxing School only started digging the Green Jade Canal seven or eight years after the Nine Mystical Tower was besieged to connect the two water veins. It is clear that the Wuxing School has already made sufficient preparations. Perhaps the Wuxing School already has the means to combine the two water veins. It is best for us not to be distracted by other matters."
The irritable voice in the air sounded again. This time, it sounded impatient. "Will it kill you to take a look? It's not like we are going to help the Nine Mystical Tower fight. Besides, the Nine Mystical Tower may not need us. "
The fifty year old Laozu sighed and said, "Perhaps we will really get into trouble just by taking a look. According to what the Old Man knows, among the Mara's army that is besieging the Nine Mystical Tower, there are probably no less than ten Heavenly Demons and no less than forty to fifty Asuras. Even if the strength of each Heavenly Demon is slightly weaker than us Pure Yang experts, the difference is not that big. Once there are one or two Asuras helping us, it will be extremely difficult for us to get rid of them. Moreover, the Heavenly Demons have a majestic Psyche, so it will be extremely difficult for us to get past them."
Seven Fan Laozu, who was at the side, suddenly raised his eyes and said coldly, "Friend Yuwen seems to be very familiar with the strength of the Mara's army that is besieging the Nine Mystical Tower. However, hasn't the Yuwen family always been the vanguard in fighting against Mara? Why are you so afraid this time?"
The fifty year old man was actually a Pure Yang adept of the Yuwen family. Upon hearing Seven Fan Laozu's words, anger flashed across his face, but he forcefully suppressed it and said coldly, "In order to spy on the strength of the Mara's army that is besieging the Nine Mystical Tower, our Yuwen family has already sacrificed the lives of four Dharma adepts, one of whom was even at the late Dharma stage. Furthermore, do not forget that at this time, on the Tianxuan Sect's Mara battlefield near the sea, our Yuwen family adepts are still at the forefront of the battle, so please be careful when you speak, Friend Seven Fan!"
Seven Fan Laozu rolled his eyes and did not take the Yuwen elder's words to heart. He continued, "Are you spying on the strength of the Mara's army to prepare for the rescue of the Nine Mystical Tower?"
The Yuwen elder, who had been slightly angered earlier, suddenly calmed down. He chuckled and said calmly, "Rest assured, Friend Seven Fan. The Yuwen family is only following the teachings of our ancestors to eliminate the threat of Mara. It has nothing to do with the rescue of the Nine Mystical Tower."
Seven Fan Laozu did not say anything else, but Xiao Baiyu, who was beside him, changed the topic and said, "In that case, when the time comes, I will only take a look from afar and will not go too deep into the Mara's army. Next up is the matter of the Wuxing School. However, it seems that the Wuxing School's plan this time is not simple. They actually used a single Tenma people to distract the Zi Yang Palace's attention. Otherwise, the Wuxing School would not be so brazen as to open a canal between the Qing Ming River and the Yulan River to connect the water veins."
At this point, Xiao Baiyu could not help but pause and turn to look behind him. He saw a man dressed in strange clothes step out of the void and could not help but ask curiously, "Brother Feng, you are …"
