The reason Lu Ping was able to kill a few high-tier Mara quickly, and he didn't even have the time to kill the rest of the Mara and leave with Zhenling and the others was because he had sensed some hostility in the air behind them.
But Lu Ping's Telekinesis was unable to detect the presence of these people, which meant that these people had treasures that could hide them from his Telekinesis.
With Lu Ping's current level of cultivation, the treasures that could hide from his Telekinesis were most likely spirit treasures. Only the big sects in the holy lands would have the time to create spirit treasures like that.
Lu Ping didn't want to get involved, and he was fighting Mara. So, when he succeeded, he quickly left.
After this experience, Lu Ping was even more careful when he looked for opportunities outside of Mara's army. Fortunately, the Tianxuan Sect's advantage was becoming more and more obvious, and the Mara's army was showing more and more weaknesses. Lu Ping and Zhenling's next two attacks were very successful. Lu Ping's battle points in the projection stone had risen to 257 points.
This was the third time they surrounded a group of Mara. Lu Ping had given the last kill of a Jade Shura to Yin Tianchu. If he hadn't, his battle points would have been even higher.
Lu Ping relied on his strong Telekinesis, the Cloud Sail, and the Jade Phosphorus Soul Fire to protect him. He wasn't afraid of the Soul Devourers on the battlefield, and he was only second to the three pure Yang Laozu. So, under his leadership, Zhenling and the others were always able to find the weak points of the Mara's army. They were able to tear down a suitable group of Mara's army, and then kill the high-tier Mara. Then, when the Mara's army came to support them, they retreated.
Under Lu Ping's leadership and help, Yin Tianchu, Liu Tianyuan, and Green Fox's battle points were greatly increased. Unfortunately, the three of them only knew their battle points, but they didn't know where they were on the leaderboard.
At this time, the nine of them were following the cover of a small forest, heading southeast. Qing Li Laozu had led the Tianxuan Sect and the Spirit Beast Taming Sect to attack Mara's army, which had caused a lot of chaos. So, in Lu Ping's opinion, there might be more opportunities there.
But when Lu Ping and the others came out of the forest, Lu Ping's face suddenly changed. In his Telekinesis, there were two groups of Mara coming from the left and right, and they were going to converge near Lu Ping and the others.
Once the two groups of Mara converged, Zhenling and the others would be chased by Mara's teams, even if they didn't get caught in a pincer attack!
Lu Ping's first thought was that someone was deliberately setting them up. But to drive two groups of Mara to attack Zhenling from different directions, such a delicate plan would require the cooperation of at least two forces. The mocking faces of Shui Zhirou of Wuxing School and Yuwen Ke of Yuwen Family suddenly appeared in Lu Ping's mind.
"Oh no, there are two groups of Mara coming towards us! Each group has the aura of Mara, and there are about four to five hundred groups of Mara. "
"Is it intentional or a coincidence?"
Liu Tianyuan's reaction was also very fast. He immediately realized that someone was plotting against him.
"I'm not sure, but we have to be prepared for the worst!" Lu Ping said with a grave expression.
"Four to five hundred Mara charging, and there are also high-grade Mara guarding them. I'm afraid the nine of us won't be able to stop them. Let's retreat first!"
Qinghu pondered for a moment and felt that the odds of success were slim.
Lu Ping shook his head and said, "It's too late to retreat now. It doesn't matter if the two groups of Demon Luos were driven away or lured here by someone. When they converge, they will still head in the direction we're retreating from. If someone is really plotting against us, then there will surely be someone else blocking our way."
Qinghu became anxious and asked, "Then what should we do?"
Lu Ping and Liu Tianyuan exchanged glances, and both seemed to have made up their minds. After nodding, Lu Ping pointed to the front and said, "We can only go forward!"
"That's the hinterland of Mara's army. If we go there, won't we be walking right into a trap?"
Qinghu exclaimed.
At this moment, Liu Tianyuan said, "This is the only way to avoid being tracked by these people. Compared to hiding in the shadows, I'd rather charge into Mara's army and kill them."
Qinghu fell silent. Lu Ping said, "Then it's decided. I'll lead the way, Qinghu and Senior Martial Brother Tian Yuan will protect the flanks, Junior Martial Brother Yin will protect the rear, and the rest of you will wait for an opportunity to strike. Let's go!"
The nine of them connected their feet as a single streak of light. This way, the formation between the nine of them wouldn't fall apart, and at the same time, they would be able to deal with any possible dangers. Lu Ping waved his hand and the cloud sail immediately engulfed everyone, and they charged into the depths of Mara's army.
Not long after Lu Ping and the others left, two groups of Mara's army fled over, one from the east and one from the west. After meeting up in the area where Lu Ping and the others were, they rushed into the small forest in panic.
A short while later, several streaks of light appeared in the east and west of the small forest. The two groups were led by none other than the Wuxing School's Shui Zhirou and Zhuo Yi, as well as the Yuwen Clan's Yuwen Ke and Yuwen Jinglei.
"Fellow Daoist Shui, have you found any traces of those people?"
Shui Zhirou shook her head and said, "No, I think they've already been chased into the depths of the forest by those two groups of Mara's. The Crystal Palace is there, and Fellow Daoist Qin has also led a group of Mara's to intercept them, so they won't be able to escape."
Yuwen Ke nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then we'll part ways here!"
Shui Zhirou's expression changed and she said, "What? Brother Yuwen, are you going to wash your hands of this matter and clear your name of suspicion?"
Yuwen Ke shook his head and said, "How could I possibly do such a thing? I just feel that if Zhenling's group is forced into this direction by Mara's army, and there's another pair of Mara's blocking them, even if they can break through, they'll be riddled with injuries. At that time, there's still the Wuxing School and the Crystal Palace. Zhenling's group is doomed, so it doesn't matter if our Yuwen clan's people are there or not."
Shui Zhirou's expression turned slightly gloomy and she said, "I feel that Fellow Daoist Yuwen should go. In all fairness, Lu Tianping's strength is above ours, and there's also Yin Tianchu who possesses a rather miraculous concealment technique. It's not impossible for them to escape."
Yuwen Ke couldn't help but laugh and said, "There isn't such a deep enmity between Zhenling and my Yuwen clan. At most, he's just seized some of our battle merits. It hasn't reached the point of killing him. Our scheme in secret is enough, so let's part ways here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Yuwen clan's people paid no more attention to Shui Zhirou's group and turned into streaks of light that shot towards the west.
The faces of the Wuxing School's people became slightly gloomy when they saw the Yuwen clan's people leave. Zhuo Yi cursed in a low voice, "What a smiling tiger! Senior Sister, what should we do?"
Shui Zhirou sneered in the direction that the Yuwen clan's people had vanished and said, "Ignore them. They think they can clear their names just like that? How childish! We'll chase after them ourselves! "
The Wuxing School's people turned into streaks of light and chased after Mara's group to the south.
At this time, Lu Ping and the others had fallen into an extremely dangerous situation after charging into Mara's army.
Lu Ping and the others had charged into the southeast corner of Mara's army. Originally, they had planned to cross the northeast side diagonally so that they wouldn't have to go too deep into Mara's army. They could avoid the high level Mara's encirclement as much as possible. Once they succeeded, there was a high chance that they could meet up with Qing Li Laozu and the others.
At first, everything went smoothly. After breaking into Mara's army, they tried not to tangle with Mara too much. Even if a high level Mara chased after them, they were still killed by Lu Ping's four flying swords.
In order to kill their way out of the encirclement as quickly as possible, no one dared to hold back. In just the time it took for a joss stick to burn, the number of Blood Demons that had fallen in the hands of the nine Zhen Ling Sect members had reached seven, and the number of Jade Demons had reached three.
Lu Ping alone had killed a Jade Shura and three Blood Mara. The other two Jade Mara had been severely injured by Lu Ping first, and the cyan fox and Yin Tianchu behind him had come to kill them in time. That was how they had killed the other two Jade Mara.
Even so, Lu Ping's battle points had reached 278 points.
Of course, Lu Ping did not know that at this time, in the camps of the various sects within a few thousand miles of the Nine Mystical Tower, all the adepts who were paying attention to the mid Dharma stage battle points rankings were going crazy!
In just one day's time, the mid Dharma adepts who were ranked near each other on the battle merit scoreboard had all experienced a massive increase in their battle merit points.
Starting from Qin Shijun in the Crystal Palace, Nangong Xiaojian, Fan Mingjie, Cao Jianping, Yuwen Feixiang, Yuwen Ke, Zhang Zhifei, Xie Tianyang, Su Jin, Yuwen Jinglei, Shui Zhirou, Huo Wuliang, Sima Chongfeng, Sang Yu, Yin Tianchu, and many others who were familiar with the battle points rankings of the mid Dharma adepts had all increased their battle points by at least 15 points in one day, with some even reaching 30 to 40 points.
But what was supposed to be the most glorious day for these people was suddenly overshadowed by one person's sudden burst of power.
The North Sea Water Sword Sage, Lu Tianping, who was previously in fifth place with 199 battle points, had made his move again. In just one day, he had increased his battle points by 79 points, surpassing Qin Shijun and returning to first place on the battle points rankings!
But at this time, Lu Tianping's madness was still going on. In order to completely break through the Mara army, Lu Ping had used up almost all of his trump cards. This was because the madness of Zhenling and the others had finally attracted big trouble. They had already moved as fast as they could, but they had still been targeted by an Asura!
