"A top-grade magic tool!"
Yuan Shikong was shocked. He hurriedly placed the hexagonal crystal shield on his back and channeled his arcane energy into it.
However, it was too late. The top-grade flying sword pierced through the shield he hastily put behind him. Then, the protective aura around the Late Blood Condensation Realm was also torn apart. Fortunately, the two layers of protection delayed the Qinghan Sword's attack. Yuan Shikong dodged quickly and managed to avoid being hit in his vital organs. His abdomen was cut in half, but his life was not in danger.
Yuan Shikong raised his hand towards the sky without hesitation. A blinding red light shot into the sky and exploded in the air. This was a signal for help.
Yuan Shikong turned around and saw a young cultivator standing on a giant turtle swimming towards him.
"It's you!"
Yuan Shikong exclaimed.
How could this young man not leave a deep impression on him? Five years ago, a Third Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivator escaped from his hands, making him the laughingstock of the Overflowing Sea Gang.
Lu Ping smiled at the shocked Yuan Shikong. Yuan Shikong's heart turned cold when he saw Lu Ping's strange smile. He looked up and saw a giant metal seal smashing down from the sky.
"How is this possible?!"
Yuan Shikong's face turned pale. He couldn't believe that a Fifth Layer Blood Condensation Realm Minor Repairs Warrior could use a top-grade magic tool and two high-grade magic tools at the same time. How much arcane energy did he have to support this?
Suddenly, a crystal bowl appeared in Yuan Shikong's hand. He lifted the bowl and a gush of seawater shot out from the bowl. The seawater turned into a giant hand in the air and firmly held Landslide in the air. However, Yuan Shikong's arcane energy was overloaded and he was already injured by Lu Ping, so he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
"So this person also has a top-grade magic tool." Lu Ping looked at the crystal bowl in Yuan Shikong's hand and smiled playfully. "However, this crystal bowl was clearly refined by him not long ago. He hasn't fully mastered it yet. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to use it so forcefully."
The Qinghan Sword turned around and slashed at Yuan Shikong's arm that was holding the crystal bowl.
Yuan Shikong's arm shook, and a stream of water flowed out from the crystal bowl, causing the Qinghan Sword to deviate from its course. However, the stream of water that was dragging "Landslide" along started to sway due to the lack of transcendence energy. Yuan Shikong's transcendence energy surged, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Let's see how much blood you can shed!" Lu Ping saw that Yuan Shikong no longer had the strength to fight back. He could only use the top-grade magic weapon in his hand to block the Qinghan Sword's attacks.
At this moment, the figures of two cultivators suddenly rose from the miniature island a few miles away and flew in the direction of the battle between Lu Ping and Yuan Shikong.
Yuan Shikong's face lit up. Lu Ping immediately understood that the other party's reinforcements were about to arrive. That small island must be the secret base of the Wrath Ocean Clan. It might even be the base of the Overturned Ocean Clan.
At this moment, Lu Ping was almost at his limit using a top-grade magic tool and a high-grade magic tool. He saw that Yuan Shikong could only passively defend under his sneak attack, and it was only a matter of time before he died. However, he did not expect the other party's reinforcements to arrive so quickly.
Lu Ping cursed inwardly. He used his right thumb to cut his index finger. Blood immediately flowed out of his index finger, and three mid-grade needle-shaped magic tools appeared in Lu Ping's right hand.
Lu Ping raised his right hand, and the three bloody flying needles headed straight for Yuan Shikong's chest.
Yuan Shikong panicked. He gritted his teeth and used the crystal shield, which had already been pierced by the Qinghan Sword, to block the needles. The three flying needles collided with the crystal shield and exploded, completely destroying the already damaged crystal shield. Fragments of the magic tool flew everywhere.
Although Yuan Shikong tried his best to dodge the needles and even split the water in the crystal bowl to form a water shield to protect himself, his body still suffered four to five wounds from the explosion of the magic tools.
Just as Yuan Shikong was secretly rejoicing that he had dodged the attack, two silent Soaring Swords suddenly flew out from the seawater behind him. The two swords intersected, and before Yuan Shikong realized it, his body had already been cut into three pieces.
"Stop!"
"How dare you!"
At this moment, the two Late Blood Condensation cultivators from the Overturned Ocean Clan were already within reach of Yuan Shikong and Yuan Shikong, but they could not stop Yuan Shikong's death in time.
Lu Ping looked mockingly at the two newcomers. He took Yuan Shikong's interspatial pouch and mystic instrument and landed on the Blue Luan's back. Lu Qin let out a long cry, flapped her wings, and flew a few hundred feet away in the blink of an eye.
The two Overturned Ocean Clan cultivators tried their best to catch up to Lu Ping, but as Lu Qin flapped her wings, the distance between them grew larger and larger. In the end, the two Overturned Ocean Clan cultivators could only sigh helplessly as they disappeared into the horizon.
On the other hand, Lu Ping was happily fiddling with the crystal bowl he obtained from Yuan Shikong. This top-grade mystic instrument was called the Frost Jade Glaze Bowl. It was a top-grade mystic instrument forged from a single piece of frost jade. It was very suitable for Lu Ping to use, but its only flaw was that although it could be used for both offense and defense, it wasn't very good at either.
There was also the token that Yuan Shikong had shown when he had activated the teleportation array. On one side of the hexagonal jade token, there was a shining palace, and on the other side, there was a surging sea. The huge waves were holding up a large seal character, "Nu"!
As for the other spirit stones and magic tools, Lu Ping casually threw them into his storage ring. After all, he was a Late Blood Condensation cultivator. His wealth was still considerable. Among them, there was a Wonder Pill recipe that interested Lu Ping. He could study it when he returned.
Lu Ping rode on the Green Phoenix and headed east. After a few hundred miles, he turned north. Along the way, Lu Ping would stop at a small island and buy some goods from the island's marketplace.
A month later, Lu Ping had passed through dozens of islands, including the territories of the Jade Sword Sect and the Ancient Ling Sect. Finally, he returned to Zhenling.
On a small island called Black Lightning Island, Lu Ping showed the cultivator stationed on the island his identity token of Zhenling. Through the teleportation array on the small island, he arrived at Earth Star Island, one of the thirty-six medium-sized islands in Zhenling.
In the marketplace of Earth Star Island, Lu Ping bought 500-year-old spiritual herbs from the shops that sold spiritual herbs as usual. After spending a few thousand spirit stones, he arrived at Earth Star Island through the teleportation array. Only medium-sized islands and above in Zhenling could be connected to each other. The teleportation array on a small island could only be connected to a medium-sized island.
Five years later, Earth Star Island had become even more prosperous. The entire marketplace had expanded by a third. There was an endless stream of cultivators in the marketplace. Occasionally, Core Forging Enlightened Masters could be seen flying in the sky.
When Lu Ping returned to Huang Li Island, although he was prepared, he was still surprised by the huge changes on Huang Li Island.
Lu Ping didn't stop and flew directly to his cave abode at the center of the island.
Five years had passed. He didn't know how his cave abode had changed. He didn't know if the spiritual vein in the cave abode had been discovered. However, before he left, he had embedded 108 middle grade spirit stones into the Ice River Killing Array's array disc. It was enough for the array to run for ten years. Of course, this was under the condition that the array was not attacked.
As he got closer to the cave abode, Lu Ping looked at the light blue array shield that was still running. He felt relieved. "Fortunately, the cave abode has not been invaded."
At this moment, Lu Ping frowned and stopped. He slowly came to a small forest in front of the entrance of the cave abode. Lu Ping spread out his spiritual sense, which was nearly a hundred feet wide. The scene that was happening in front of his cave abode was coincidentally seen by Lu Ping.
…
"Hu Lili, don't think that you are so great just because you have Liu Ziyuan supporting you. Lu Ping has been missing for five years. To put it nicely, he has died outside. His body has probably been devoured by demonic beasts. According to our sect's rules, if a cultivator has been missing for more than five years, the sect has the right to take back the cave abode. Are you trying to stop us? Are you flouting our sect's rules? "
The person who spoke was Li Yu, Li Ziming's son. After five years, he had also advanced to the Third Level of the Blood Condensation Realm. The two people beside him were also old acquaintances of Lu Ping. One was Li Cheng, who was now at the Fourth Level of the Blood Condensation Realm. The other was Lin Sheng, who was also at the Fifth Level of the Blood Condensation Realm.
Enemies really do meet. Lu Ping looked at the three of them. They were standing in front of his cave abode with six or seven Zhenling disciples. They were all holding magic tools in their hands. It seemed like they were going to break the Ice River Killing Formation by force.
The person standing in front of them was Hu Lili. Beside her were Chen Lian and Lu Ping's shopkeeper, Fang Tao. After several years, Hu Lili had broken through the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm and reached the Fourth Level of the Blood Condensation Realm. Chen Lian, on the other hand, had reached the Sixth Level of the Blood Condensation Realm. His cultivation speed had finally surpassed Lu Ping's. There was nothing he could do about it. The difficulty of cultivating the North Sea Wave Listening Technique left Lu Ping speechless.
Hu Lili sneered. "Li Yu, don't think I don't know what you guys are thinking. Although the sect has its rules, many of our disciples have gone out to explore beyond the designated time limit. It doesn't mean that the sect is in a hurry to take back their cave abode. Not to mention, Lu Ping's cave abode is outside of Tianling Mountain. You guys are just jealous of Lu Ping's cave abode."
At this moment, Li Cheng spoke up. "Senior Martial Sister Hu, what you said is unreasonable. We're just following the sect's rules. We're not targeting Senior Martial Brother Lu Ping. After all, he's been missing for more than five years. Out of respect for Senior Martial Sister Hu and Master Immortal Liu, we've already delayed the matter for more than half a year. We can't just leave the cave abode idle, can we? Besides, after the cave abode is taken back, the sect will own it. How can you say that we're jealous? "
Hu Lili was so angry that she couldn't say anything. Chen Lian said, "Since you guys are following the sect's rules, why didn't you guys come to take back the cave abode when Master Immortal Liu was around? Now that Master Immortal Liu has brought Yao Yong, Du Feng, and Zhong Jian to patrol the sea, you guys can't wait to take back the cave abode. What a joke!"
Chen Lian's words made the three of them blush. Li Yu simply said, "Let's not care about that. Anyway, we have a reason to follow the sect's rules. Let's destroy the cave protection array first."
After saying that, he waved at the Blood Condensation cultivators behind him. Everyone took out their mystic instruments and prepared to attack. Suddenly, a mocking voice sounded. "Haha, so everyone knows that I'm going home today. That's why you all came to visit me! What a coincidence! Unfortunately, my cave abode isn't big enough to accommodate Junior Martial Brother Li, Junior Martial Brother Lin, and all of you. "
