Even though Lin Yu Laozu was not able to use even fifty to sixty percent of his power, it was not difficult for him to suppress an Asura. Hence, the Asura that could not kill the Longhuai Ancestor could escape when it saw that the situation was not in its favor. This Asura that was being suppressed by Lin Yu Laozu also tried to break out of the encirclement several times, but each time, it was blocked by Lin Yu Laozu.
The Longhuai Ancestor saw that the Asura that it was fighting with had escaped, but it did not care. Instead, it turned around and joined Lin Yu Laozu's battle, and began to help Lin Yu Laozu kill the Asura.
At this time, the Mara army outside the Zhenling's station had basically been wiped out. Occasionally, there were a few Mara that escaped, but they were all small fries, and the crowd did not pay much attention to them. However, at this time, more and more practitioners gradually formed a circle around the battle between Lin Yu Laozu and the Asura, surrounding them.
The eyes of some of the cultivators who were not weak flickered. It was obvious that they wanted to kill the Asura in the depths of the mountains. This Asura was worth 20 battle points to a mid Dharma adept. This time, the battle had been smooth-sailing, and many of the mid Dharma adepts had only managed to kill a few Blood Demons. In fact, none of the people present had reached 20 battle points. If they could really kill the Asura in the end, their battle points would definitely increase by leaps and bounds.
Lu Ping snuck back from the Qing Ming River and saw that the water was already in place. The power of the entire Five Elements Matrix was gradually increasing, and with a flick of his hand, he put away the wine tripod of the Linglong.
The Silver Fox looked at the wine tripod and asked in a low voice, "Before this, there was a bluish-purple spirit light seeping out of the wine tripod, and it stabilized the defense matrix that was on the verge of collapse. Why does that spirit light look so similar to the water?"
Lu Ping smiled and said, "There was originally a water vein inside!"
Reverend Mystic Fox stared at Lu Ping with widened eyes. What were the recent major events in the cultivation world? One of them was the crushing defeat of Wuxing School at the foot of Luo Xin Mountain. A mysterious cultivator had taken away half of the Qing Ming River's branch. Furthermore, this mysterious cultivator had broken the spiritual treasure that originally belonged to Wuxing School in half and triggered the Pure Yang Thunder Tribulation at the foot of Luo Xin Mountain.
The entire cultivation world was guessing who the mysterious cultivator was. When Zhenling and the others entered the Central Region and heard the news, they were also dumbfounded. After all, it was an incredible thing to be able to be the oriole under the nose of more than ten Pure Yang Laozu. However, Black Fox did not expect that person to be Lu Ping.
Lu Ping smiled proudly and said, "How is it? Scared?"
Black Fox covered his mouth with one hand and nodded vigorously, which made Lu Ping feel even more proud.
Outside the station, none of the cultivators from various sects dared to fight with Lin Yu Laozu for the Asura. Before this, Lin Yu Laozu alone was able to suppress the Asura. Now that the Longhuai Ancestor had joined in, the Asura was soon beaten to a pulp by the two of them.
Lin Yu Laozu smiled and said, "Fellow cultivator, please end this demonic creature!"
Longhuai Ancestor still had a blank expression and said, "This thing is useless to the Old Man. Just kill it!"
After saying that, he walked towards Zhenling's station without looking back. Lin Yu Laozu was slightly surprised, but then he smiled and shook his head. With a wave of his hand, the Jasper Wind Flute hit the Asura's head and instantly killed it.
Lin Yu Laozu looked around and said coldly, "What? Do you want the Old Man to treat everyone to a cup of tea and have a chat?"
The cultivators of the various sects did not dare to say anything more. Some had already left quietly, some said "goodbye" with a laugh, and some casually said a few words to congratulate Zhen Ling Sect on their great victory and so on, and then left without a trace.
Although Zhenling had won today's battle, it had paid a heavy price. Out of the dozens of middle and late Core Forging disciples, 11 had fallen, and more than 10 were injured. The casualties amounted to more than half of the disciples.
However, the fall of Tian Fan and Tian Tian, the two Dharma adepts, had greatly damaged Zhenling's strength. Ever since Zhenling had started the path of becoming a large sect, with the cooperation of the entire sect and the careful planning of the few Laozu, it could be said that everything had been smooth sailing. However, suddenly encountering such a blow had really caught Zhenling off guard.
Tian Tian was one of the leaders of the third generation of adepts, and was even considered as a candidate for Zhenling's next leader. The fall of Tian Fan Laozu had also greatly damaged Zhenling's strength.
Before Tian Xiang Laozu had advanced to the late Dharma stage, the fundamental reason why Zhenling was able to stand up to Xuan Ling Sect in the North Sea was because the two Laozu, Tian Fan and Tian Xue, had the ability to fight against late Dharma adepts.
It could be said that before Tian Xiang Laozu had advanced to the late Dharma stage, the two of them could be said to be Zhenling's biggest backers. Even after Tian Xiang Laozu had advanced to the late Dharma stage, the two Laozu, Tian Fan and Tian Xue, were still the cornerstones of Zhenling. They were the guarantee that Zhenling could firmly suppress Xuan Ling, Vast Seas, and other sects, and secure its position as the number one sect in the North Sea.
In the North Sea training world, the two Laozu, Tian Fan and Tian Xue, had always been seen as one, and were treated as one great adept. Now that Tian Fan Laozu had fallen, and Tian Xue Laozu had been seriously injured, even after they had recovered, the two of them would no longer be a team. Zhenling had essentially lost a late Dharma adept.
Such a loss was a huge blow to Zhenling's strength and morale!
The atmosphere in Zhenling was unusually heavy. Tianshan Laozu began to instruct the disciples to collect the corpses of the fallen disciples, while Lu Ping still had to entertain Xie Tianyang, Sang Yu, and the rest.
Lin Yu Laozu was obviously very interested in Longhuai Ancestor. However, Longhuai Ancestor obviously did not want to have too much contact with Zhenling and the rest. After nodding at Lin Yu Laozu, he and Lu Ping came to a secluded place.
"We came a little late. Otherwise, your Martial Granduncle and Senior might have been able to save them!"
Lu Ping smiled bitterly. "Zhenling is already grateful that you were willing to lend a helping hand. If not for your help, I'm afraid I don't know how many people from our sect would have survived."
Longhuai Ancestor obviously did not dwell on this matter. He only nodded and said, "This time, you have to enter the Seventh Patriarch's Dao Altar!"
Lu Ping looked at Longhuai Ancestor in surprise. However, he did not ask for the reason, because he knew that Longhuai Ancestor would definitely tell him.
As expected, Longhuai Ancestor continued, "Think of a way to get a few Chiming Rocks from Jiao Daoren's Dao Altar!"
Longhuai Ancestor also wanted Chiming Rocks, and it had to be from Jiao Daoren's Dao Altar. This was slightly out of Lu Ping's expectations. However, Lu Ping did not ask Longhuai Ancestor for the reason. Instead, he said, "Senior, why don't you go to the Dao Altar yourself? With your strength, even if you're just an avatar, you're one of the best among the great cultivators of the same realm. You only need to use the Imaging Stone to obtain merits."
Longhuai Ancestor shook his head and said, "This avatar is naturally unable to enter the Dao Altar. The Old Man only wants to hear the voice of Jiao Daoren from all those years ago. So, the more Chiming Rocks you bring, the better. Of course, it has to be the rocks from Jiao Daoren's Dao Altar!"
Lu Ping nodded in agreement and said, "I'll do my best, but I may not be able to enter the Dao Altar. Moreover, even if I do enter the Dao Altar, I may not be able to obtain the Chiming Rocks."
Longhuai Ancestor nodded and said, "Since that's the case, Old Man will go. I've seen many interesting things in my travels this time. Oh, right, you just have to be careful of the Yuwen Clan in the battle to annihilate Mara."
"The Yuwen Clan?"
Lu Ping thought in his heart, and he said, "Senior, have you noticed something?"
Longhuai Ancestor said, "This clan has an indescribable relationship with Peng Daoren from all those years ago. The Old Man isn't too sure about the specifics, so you just have to be careful."
Longhuai Ancestor left directly after he finished speaking, and it caused Lu Ping to be at a loss for whether to laugh or cry. What 'indescribable relationship'? The Yuwen Clan has never denied the fact that they're a direct line descendant of Peng Daoren, so what's there to conceal about this relationship?
Even though Lu Ping knew that the deeper meaning behind Longhuai Ancestor's words wasn't so simple, merely such a general statement still caused Lu Ping to be slightly bewildered.
"Eh, that Fellow Daoist Long Huai has left?"
Lu Ping returned to the residence while his mind was slightly preoccupied, and Lin Yu Laozu instantly asked with a strange expression when he saw that only Lu Ping had returned.
"Oh, yes. Senior Long Huai seemed to have some matters to attend to, so he left."
Lin Yu Laozu said with slight disappointment, "Unfortunately, this Fellow Daoist is extremely mysterious. Long Huai, this name is extremely strange as well. Have you seen this Fellow Daoist's true appearance?"
Lu Ping was stunned by Lin Yu Laozu's words, and only now did he recover from his shock. Perhaps this External Avatar of the Longhuai Ancestor was capable of concealing itself from cultivators of the same cultivation realm, but Lin Yu Laozu had obviously noticed something. Not to mention the Longhuai Ancestor had been struck numerous times during the battle with the Asuras, yet it hadn't suffered the slightest injury. Lin Yu Laozu didn't believe that there was someone in the cultivation world that could condense the body to such an extent.
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment, yet he still said, "I haven't seen this Senior's full appearance."
Lu Ping wasn't lying when he spoke these words. The Longhuai Ancestor's main body was enormous, and Lu Ping was really unable to see his full appearance at that time.
"Truly a pity. This Fellow Daoist Long Huai's External Avatar Technique is much more formidable than yours!"
Lu Ping understood that Lin Yu Laozu wanted to say that the Longhuai Ancestor's External Avatar already possessed such strength, so what sort of level had his main body reached? However, Lu Ping smiled and said, "That's only natural. Junior's External Avatar Technique was originally taught to me by Senior Long Huai."
Three days later, Chan Yue, Chan Xiang, Xiahou Wushang, Yun Jian, and Su Jin took their leave first, whereas Xie Tianyang and Sang Yu stayed behind. Even though they were nominally waiting for Lu Ping to refine pills to heal Wu Yinglan's injuries as Xie Tianyang had said, Lu Ping knew that these two good friends had stayed behind because Zhenling's strength was at its weakest right now. They had stayed behind to deter those who still coveted Zhenling's base.
