The battle at Zhenling's location had come to an end. However, this time, Mara's army did not only break through the encirclement at Zhenling's location. Furthermore, the number of Mara's army that broke through the encirclement at Zhenling's location had far surpassed the number of soldiers that broke through the encirclement at Zhenling's location.
This was also the reason why after the battle at Zhenling's location erupted, the thirteen Pure Yang Laozu, who were in charge of mobilizing all the cultivators from the various sects to encircle and annihilate Mara's army, would not be left alone. Other than Lin Yu Laozu, no one else had shown up.
Compared to the three Asuras leading the three thousand Mara's army at Zhenling's location, the Skyward Pavilion's encirclement at the southern part of the Nine Profound Tower's Qingming River downstream had encountered the invasion of over ten thousand Mara's army led by three Heavenly Demons and ten Asuras.
In the eastern direction, the Heavenly Profound Sect, which had just set up camp not long ago, had also encountered the assault of two Heavenly Demons and seven Asuras. It was said that even Xiao Baiyu had rushed over to assist the seven Laozu.
In the northwestern direction, the Ziyang Palace and the northeastern direction, the Yuwen Family had also encountered the assault of Mara's army led by the Heavenly Demons. As for the southeastern direction, the South Sea Talisman Pavilion had also encountered the assault of Mara's army. Although there were no Heavenly Demons leading them, there were still seven to eight Asuras. Their strength far surpassed the assault of Mara's army at Zhenling's location.
Furthermore, the battle at Zhenling had ended within a single day. They had repelled the assault of three thousand Mara's army. In the other directions, the battle with Mara's army that had ended the earliest had lasted for three days and three nights. As for the battles at the other directions, they had all entered a stalemate. Until now, the outcome had yet to be determined.
Tian Xue Laozu had only fainted for a day before waking up. Originally, Lu Ping and the others were worried that Tian Xue Laozu would die. However, they had clearly underestimated Tian Xue Laozu. "Tianfan has already fallen.
"Since Tianfan has already fallen, I won't die so easily since I didn't chase after him at that time. I still want to live well and see the day when our sect becomes a large sect for Tianfan. However, I'm currently heavily injured and there's no point for me to stay here. Therefore, I'll bring Tianfan's ashes back to the North Sea. At the same time, if our sect wants to defend this place, we'll need reinforcements from the North Sea. This time, Tianshan will follow me back. Tianru will be in charge of the matters regarding the station.
Two days later, Tian Xue Laozu and Tian Xue Laozu brought Tianfan and Tian Tian's ashes back to the North Sea, as well as five to six severely injured disciples that required a long time to recuperate. In the entire Zhenling, only the third generation disciples were left to guard the sect's encampment.
Lu Ping had never been in charge of the sect's affairs. Despite Tian Xue Laozu's orders, the affairs of the encampment were still handled by Li Tianru and Liu Tianyuan. As for Lu Ping, he began to prepare the Pure Yang Blood Stasis Dispelling Pill for Lin Yu Laozu's recovery.
As for Wu Yinglan's injuries, from Lu Ping's point of view, it wasn't too serious. Although the injuries of spiritual sense were known to be thorny, Lu Ping had a few secret pill formulas that could treat spiritual sense injuries. After a battle, there was no lack of Soul Devouring Crystals. After consuming a few of the pills that Lu Ping had meticulously refined, it was only a matter of time before she recovered.
Another three days had passed. The news of Mara's army breaking through the encampment had spread like wildfire. Xie Tianyang was already unable to hold himself back. Lu Ping knew that the Purple Sun Palace's encampment had also encountered a powerful attack from Mara's army. Even though the Purple Sun Palace was a Sacred Ground, Xie Tianyang was still the direct disciple of the Purple Sun Palace. It wasn't easy for him to stay in Zhenling for six to seven days for the sake of friendship. Hence, he took the initiative and said, "Brother Xie, your sect has yet to repel Mara's army's attack. It's better for you to return quickly!"
Xie Tianyang didn't mind and smiled, "You can be at ease. Previously, Third Senior Brother had already returned. Purple Sun Palace isn't your Zhenling. Even if three Heavenly Demons attacked, they might not be able to break through our encampment. Furthermore, aren't you afraid that if I return to my encampment and start a massacre, my battle merits will surpass yours?"
Lu Ping chuckled and said, "Even if you go back now, you might not be able to surpass me. But if you go back now, I believe there will be many people who will surpass you in terms of battle merits!"
Xie Tianyang was slightly stunned. Previously, during the battle at Zhenling's encampment, although he had frantically snatched battle merits at the end, he had only managed to snatch 42 points after the battle. Compared to Lu Ping's over 100 points, there was still a huge gap.
The invasion of Mara's army was still ongoing. The gap between Xie Tianyang and the others was far greater than the gap between him and Lu Ping. If Xie Tianyang still didn't hunt down Mara, his battle merits might be surpassed by even more people.
Lu Ping could naturally see that Xie Tianyang was extremely concerned about the accumulation of battle merits this time. He had only stayed here for six or seven days because he was worried about the safety of his good friend's sect. Now, the defensive array of Zhenling's encampment had become increasingly sturdy and stable with the injection of the water vein. In addition, Lin Yu Laozu wouldn't be leaving Zhenling anytime soon. As time passed, his injuries would stabilize, and his strength would also recover. Zhenling wouldn't have to worry about encountering too much danger, so he was confident in persuading Xie Tianyang to return to the sect first.
After Xie Tianyang left, everything in Zhenling's encampment was basically on the right track. Now, they only had to wait for the reinforcements from the North Sea to completely restore their previous strength.
At this time, because of Lin Yu Laozu and Lu Ping's presence, Liu Tianyuan, Qing Hu, and the others had begun to join forces to encircle the scattered Mara around the encampment. They gradually expanded their hunting range and gradually began to come into contact with the periphery of Mara's army. From time to time, they would also make some kills, and their battle merits also increased a little.
Although the Pure Yang Blood Stasis Removal Pill was an extremely high-grade pill, with the support of Lu Ping's current alchemy skills, he was completely confident that he could refine it. It was precisely because it took Lu Ping three days to refine the first Pure Yang Blood Stasis Removal Pill that Lin Yu Laozu's injuries had significantly improved after taking it that Lu Ping was reassured and persuaded Xie Tianyang to leave first.
With the support of Lin Yu Laozu and Lu Ping's collection, a total of five batches of spiritual herbs were prepared for the Pure Yang Blood Stasis Removal Pill. In the end, nine pills were produced. Three of them were taken by Lin Yu Laozu, and the remaining five were kept by Lu Ping. This kind of pill was not easy to refine. In addition to the strict requirements of alchemy skills, some of the rare herbs needed to refine the pill were also extremely valuable. If Lin Yu Laozu had not found some of them, even Lu Ping's own collection would not have seen many of them.
Half a month after the battle at Zhenling's encampment, Lu Ping finally received a message from his sect in advance on this day. Early in the morning, he left the encampment and went dozens of kilometers away.
In less than half a day, Lu Ping saw a ball of golden light surging in the sky. As it neared, it slowly split into several rays of light in front and dozens of rays of light behind.
Lu Ping was slightly stunned. He did not expect the sect to send so many reinforcements this time. Almost half of the sect's strength had been sent to the Central Plains.
Lu Ping hurriedly went forward with a happy expression, but he was still a little surprised. He said, "Uncle-Master Xiang, Uncle-Master Tianshan, Uncle-Master Tianqin, Uncle-Master Tian Cheng, Brother Lei, why are all of you here? Senior Brother Tian Feng, you have advanced to the Dharma Phase! "
Because of the deaths of Tian Fan Laozu and Tian Tian, the people of Zhenling looked a little solemn. Xiang Lou Laozu only smiled, while Tian Qin Laozu snorted coldly. Tian Cheng Laozu, Tian Feng, and Lei Laoliu only nodded in acknowledgment. Uncle-Master Tianshan said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go back to the encampment first!"
The group of Zhenling, including Lu Ping and the other seven Dharma adepts, flew back to the encampment in a grandiose manner. Before they reached the encampment, the Zhenling adepts who had rushed to the encampment after hearing the news were all cheering. The gloom that had been brought about by the deaths of the two Dharma adepts, Tian Fan and Tian Tian, had finally been swept away.
Lu Ping suddenly hovered in mid-air outside the encampment. Tian Shan Laozu and the others looked at him in confusion. Lu Ping smiled and said, "Uncle-Masters, Uncle-Master and Senior Brother, please go back to the encampment and rest for a while. I will be there in a while!"
Only Tian Qin and Laozu seemed to sense something, and they seemed to be deep in thought. The others looked at Lu Ping suspiciously and returned to the encampment first.
After everyone had entered the encampment, Lu Ping smiled at the empty space beside him and said, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Yin to come as well!"
There was a ripple in the empty space, and Yin Tian Chu, dressed in black, appeared not far from Lu Ping.
A look of joy flashed in Lu Ping's eyes and he said, "Junior Brother, you've already passed through your first Thunder Trial?"
Yin Tian Chu nodded and said, "My luck is not bad, and it's all thanks to the inheritance of the Ice Dragon Pearl that you gave me. If not for the fact that I'm about to pass through the Thunder Trial, I might have come to Central Plains earlier. However, I've already heard about Tianfan and Senior Tian Tian, so I'm late!"
For Yin Tian Chu to be able to advance to the mid Dharma stage in such a short period of time, other than his own talent, it was obvious that he had his own opportunities. In addition, he had the inheritance of the Zhenling Xuan Yin Stream and the Ice Dragon Clan, so it was not surprising that he had been able to advance to the mid Dharma stage after Lu Ping.
Lu Ping nodded and said, "If not for the fact that you've just passed through your first Thunder Trial and your unstable aura, it would not have been easy for me to discover you, given your secret technique of concealment."
Lu Ping paused and said, "Let's go to the encampment first and talk about it later. We need a place to stay after all!"
Yin Tian Chu hesitated for a moment, but he finally nodded.
Zhenling's encampment was filled with jubilation because of the arrival of a strong reinforcement. However, when they saw that Lu Ping had brought an unfamiliar practitioner with him, many of the fourth generation disciples looked curiously at Yin Tian Chu, who was by Lu Ping's side.
Yin Tian Chu had left Zhenling for more than a hundred years. Not just the fourth generation disciples, but even many of the third generation disciples had already forgotten about Zhenling's Xuan Yin Stream. As for Yin Tian Chu, one of the "three heroes" of Zhenling's third generation disciples, they had long forgotten about him. They only knew that of Zhenling's "one immortal and one demon," the person who was known as the "Demon Sword" alongside Lu Tianping was a former disciple of Zhenling.
