When Dabao saw Lu Ping's actions, he wailed, "No way, boss! You destroyed the Thieving Heaven Grotto-Mansion just like that? There are still many treasures left behind by the Thieving Heaven Laozu Sect!"
Lu Ping's face hardened and he scolded with a smile, "Enough nonsense! We have already emptied out half of the Longevity Sky Grotto-Mansion. What is a mere Thieving Heaven Grotto-Mansion?"
After keeping Dabao's group and the ten wooden luans into the Golden House, Lu Ping, Yin Tianchu and the other two rushed back to Zhenling's encampment.
Looking back, the majority of the Evil Luo army outside the Nine Mystical Tower had already dissipated. It was likely that they had all been sent flying by the Seven Feathered Fan. Only a few scattered battles were still going on. The gap in the Nine Mystical Tower's protective formation had already been sealed, and the Nine Mystical Tower was completely out of danger.
However, in this battle, the Nine Mystical Tower had first fought against the Evil Luo Army for ten years, followed by the destruction of the Sect Protecting Grand Array. Even though the Nine Mystical Tower was one of the Six Great Holy Lands, after this battle, they would definitely suffer a great loss. Even if they could still maintain their dignity as a Holy Land, they would probably be ranked last amongst the Six Great Holy Lands.
Mara's army that had besieged Nine Profound Tower had completely fled. Within a radius of 25 kilometres from Nine Profound Tower's encampment, only a small number of Mara's army survived the Seven Feather Fan's rampage.
However, there were still a high number of Mara's army that had survived the Seven Feather Fan's attack. After these Mara's army scattered, they would surely attack the encampments of the various sects outside Nine Profound Tower. This was the plan that the 13 pure Yang experts had come up with in the beginning, a plan to wipe out Mara's army.
Six hours had passed and the scattered Mara's army must have begun attacking Zhenling's encampment. However, the four of them had yet to make it back in time. Who knew what was going on in Zhenling's army?
When they were only 50 kilometres away from the encampment, the sound of a large bell rang out from afar. Lu Ping's expression changed. This bell was clearly Xiang Lou Laozu's Vast Sea Bell.
Xiang Lou Laozu had accompanied Zhenling to defend the encampment. However, due to the Vast Sea Bell's special effect on Mara, unless the encampment was in a critical situation, Xiang Lou Laozu would never activate the Vast Sea Bell.
The four of them sped up toward the encampment. Lu Ping's divine sense surged toward the encampment like a tidal wave. At the same time, the four of them also took out their mystic treasures and spirit treasures, preparing to launch an assault on the Zhen Ling Sect's encampment from the rear.
When the four of them arrived at the encampment, they discovered that the situation in Zhenling was not as bad as they had imagined. Although the defeated Mara's army had gathered in front of Zhenling's encampment, and the number of high-level Mara's was considerable as well. Their attack on the encampment was fierce enough, but there were no Asuras among this group of Mara's army.
However, Lu Ping and the others soon discovered something unusual. There was a huge battle going on in the sky above the encampment. Four Jade Mara's were working together to attack one person, but they were being suppressed by this person's strength alone.
At this moment, it was precisely because this person was suppressing the four Jade Mara's that the encampment's defense was not in great danger.
One person suppressing four Jade Mara's was something that even an ordinary great cultivator would not be able to do. Apart from Lu Ping, when did such a person appear in Zhenling's encampment? Could it be that Lin Yu Laozu had returned, or Tian Xiang Laozu had rushed here from the North Sea?
Just as Yin Tianchu and the others were feeling a little confused, Lu Ping's face suddenly lit up. He laughed loudly and said, "It's Uncle Jiang. Uncle Jiang has passed the second lightning tribulation and has become a great cultivator!"
"Uncle Jiang?"
Liu Tianyuan and Yin Tianchu were both overjoyed. It was no wonder that one person could suppress four Jade Mara's combined strength. It turned out that Jiang Tianlin Laozu had successfully advanced to the late Dharma stage and became Zhenling's second great cultivator.
Even Qing Hu, who had followed Lu Ping for such a long time, was very familiar with Zhenling's Dharma adepts. Naturally, she knew what it meant for Zhenling to have another great cultivator.
Although Zhenling had the strength of a mid Dharma adept like Lu Ping, who was more powerful than most late Dharma adepts, Lu Ping was still not a great cultivator. This meant that Zhenling did not have the qualifications to become a large sect.
This was especially so after Zhenling lost Tianfan Laozu. Zhenling had taken a huge blow. However, all of this disappeared with Jiang Tianlin Laozu's advancement to the late Dharma stage. Zhenling's strength did not decrease, but instead increased. Now, Zhenling had the qualifications to become a large sect!
It was no wonder that Xiang Lou Laozu had dared to ring the Sea Bell. This was where Zhenling's confidence came from. With a great cultivator at the base and someone who was not a great cultivator but was more powerful than a great cultivator, even if Zhenling revealed the secret of the Sea Bell to the various sects, what could they do?
Lu Ping and the other three charged from the back of the Mara army, destroying everything in their path as if there was no one there. The Mara army, which was already on the verge of being routed, became even more panicked after being attacked by the four of them.
Lu Ping charged at the front, displaying the Thunderclap Sword Technique. The area in front of him turned into a field of thunder. Although the Thunderclap Sword Technique was only a great sword technique, its area of effect was extremely large. Coupled with the fact that the thunder technique was a great counter to Mara, it was the most effective technique in a group battle.
Three Blood Shuras that were hiding among the Mara army were killed easily by Lu Ping. Qinghu and Liu Tianyuan followed closely behind Lu Ping and charged forward. Yin Tianchu appeared and disappeared mysteriously around the three of them. Two Blood Shuras did not even react when he killed them.
In the blink of an eye, the four of them had disrupted the entire Mara army, and their momentum was unstoppable!
Jiang Tianlin Laozu, who was in mid-air, had also noticed the appearance of Lu Ping and the others. The camp quickly responded to Lu Ping and the others' attack. Tianqin, Tianshan, and Xiang Lou, the three mid Dharma adepts, were the first to charge out of the camp. Each of them had two or three early Dharma adepts behind them. Zhenling had instantly turned into a counterattack.
Lu Ping leaped up and let out a long whistle. The Thin Water Long Stream Sword turned into two Sword Dragons, which flew towards the four Jade Mara that were attacking Jiang Tianlin Laozu in mid-air.
Jiang Tianlin Laozu was not to be outdone. He waved the Wood Treasure in his hand, and dozens of leaves flew out, cutting one of the Jade Shuras into pieces.
Lu Ping's Sword Dragon also wrapped around a Jade Shura from behind. The two Sword Dragons bit at each other, tearing the Jade Shura into two pieces.
"Haha, Nephew Lu, I haven't seen you in so many years. You're trying to snatch your battle points from me. That's not very nice of you!"
Lu Ping laughed. "You're late, Uncle. What's the use of these battle points? You might as well give them to me to take a share of the Seventh Patriarch's altar!"
Jiang Tianlin Laozu had completely suppressed a Jade Demon as he spoke. He laughed. "You're the most outstanding one in our sect this time. Your points on the battle points leaderboard are the best. What do you need these two Jade Mara for?"
The two Sword Dragons turned around in mid-air and swung their tails. Their bodies suddenly disintegrated, turning into a torrent of swords that rushed towards the other Jade Demon. Lu Ping laughed. "It's always better to be prepared!"
The two of them joked, but their attacks were not slow. They even seemed to be testing each other. In the blink of an eye, the four Jade Mara were split up by the two of them. They killed them almost at the same time. However, Jiang Tianlin Laozu's luck was much better than Lu Ping's. After killing the Jade Demon, he obtained a broken Spiritual Treasure.
Although the Spiritual Treasure was severely damaged, it was still of high quality. Even if it could not become a Spiritual Treasure in the future, it could still be used as the best spiritual material to create other Spiritual Treasures.
Although Jiang Tianlin was shocked by Lu Ping's strength, Lu Ping could also feel that Jiang Tianlin Laozu's strength was not weak among the late Dharma adepts.
Moreover, Jiang Tianlin Laozu had obviously just advanced to the late Dharma stage not long ago. The aura around him had not completely calmed down. At this time, the cultivation of an official adept would increase rapidly. This meant that Jiang Tianlin Laozu's strength would increase by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. By then, his strength would be considered outstanding among the late Dharma adepts.
The two Great Adepts turned around and killed their way into the Mara army. The Mara, who were attacking Zhenling's camp, could no longer resist Zhenling's counterattack. Once again, they began to flee.
The Zhenling adepts took advantage of the situation and gave chase. At this time, the adepts who had the potential to enter the list of battle merits were no longer attacking the ordinary Mara. Instead, they were specifically looking for the high-level Mara that was hidden among the Mara. Among them, Lu Ping was the most efficient.
Lu Ping had the Cloud Sail and the Jade Phosphorus Soul Fire to protect his Divine Will. He also had the support of his Eye Sorcery. There were very few high-level Mara that could escape his pursuit. Along the way, he killed another Jade Shura and three Blood Mara.
The Mara fled in all directions. The Zhenling adepts did not go far. It was only when the Mara army was fifty miles away that they turned around and returned to the camp.
From afar, Lu Ping saw the Zhenling adepts in the camp. They were all standing in front of the psychic jade tablet in the center of the camp and discussing something excitedly. When they saw Lu Ping's light descending, they all cheered.
Ji Xuanxuan shook his head and sighed. "I say, Senior Brother Lu, can you make the mid Dharma adepts of the cultivation world feel even more hopeless? All the battle merits lists are competing with each other. The mid Dharma battle merits list, which was originally thought to be the most competitive, is now only able to fight for second place because of your existence. Do you know what the various sects are saying about you? "
Lu Ping did not have time to look at his battle merits list. When he heard this, he said casually, "What are they talking about?"
Ji Xuanxuan shook his head and changed his tone. He seemed to be trying to imitate what the others were saying about Lu Ping. He said, "Why hasn't this Lu Tianping of the North Sea advanced to the late Dharma stage? What's the meaning of squatting on the mid Dharma battle merits list?"
The Zhenling adepts in front of the psychic jade tablet all laughed. They were obviously proud of Lu Ping!
Lu Ping smiled and shook his head. He glanced at the psychic jade tablet and saw that it was showing his battle merits: 477 points.
