Lu Ping came forward to greet him. Xie Tianyang introduced Purple Sun Palace's second heir, Fan Mingjie, to Lu Ping. After the two exchanged greetings, Lu Ping asked in a deep voice, "Brother Xie, Brother Su, Brother Fan, I heard that your sect's Jia Xiuqing Laozu …"
Lu Ping had only wanted to express his greetings. After all, the death of a Pure Yang, Laozu, was an important loss even for a colossus like Purple Sun Palace.
Unexpectedly, when the three of them heard Lu Ping mention Jia Xiuqing, their expressions sank. The atmosphere became awkward. Lu Ping thought he had said something wrong and quickly said, "I was too rash!"
Fan Mingjie waved his hand and said, "Brother Lu, you don't have to be like this. This has nothing to do with you. Martial Granduncle was framed and died."
"What?"
This time, it was Lu Ping's turn to be shocked. Framed and died? Who in the cultivation world would dare to offend a colossus like Purple Sun Palace? Yet, Purple Sun Palace was still swallowing their anger. There was no different explanation of Jia Xiuqing Laozu's death in the cultivation world.
Seeing Lu Ping's incredulous expression, Xie Tianyang told Lu Ping about Jia Xiuqing Laozu's death.
Lu Ping looked at Xie Tianyang in a daze and said, "You're saying that Xiao Baiyu did nothing to save him?"
Xie Tianyang was startled too. His expression was rather complicated, as if even he could not figure out the relationship between the two. Fan Mingjie said, "With the grudge between our sect and Xiao Baiyu, when Martial Granduncle was ambushed by Super Mara, Xiao Baiyu just stood by and watched. No matter how angry we were, it was understandable to others. I won't boast about working together in the face of a great enemy, but with Martial Granduncle's strength, there was no way he would have died even if Super Mara ambushed him. The root cause was that when Martial Granduncle was heavily injured by Super Mara, Xiao Baiyu slashed an Asura right in front of Martial Granduncle's escape route. Martial Granduncle's original escape route was suddenly sealed, and Martial Granduncle had no idea how to react, which was why Super Mara took the opportunity to kill him!"
At this time, Su Jin also said, "With Xiao Baiyu's strength at that time, he could definitely do it. However, this kind of thing has no evidence, so Xiao Baiyu can completely deny it. What's more, the grievances and entanglements between our sect and the Sky-splitting Sword Sect will only make others laugh at us even if we tell them. Therefore, we can only swallow this grievance."
Lu Ping nodded. He did not know what to say, but when he saw the hatred on the faces of Xie Tianyang and the others, he knew that the grudge between Purple Sun Palace and Skyrend had deepened. Purple Sun Palace had lost two Pure Yang Laozu to Xiao Baiyu. Lu Ping did not think Purple Sun Palace could tolerate such a deep grudge. There was bound to be a fierce battle between the two sides.
However, Xiao Baiyu had always done things in an unfathomable manner. He had easily resolved the scheme of the six sacred grounds, so Lu Ping could not predict his actions at all. Even though Purple Sun Palace was the most powerful force in this world, Lu Ping did not dare to say that Skyrend would definitely lose. All of this was because of Xiao Baiyu alone!
Another few rays of light descended in Lu Ping's direction. Fan Mingjie exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Lu Ping and said, "It's people from Skyward Pavilion. They're most likely here for Brother Lu."
Without needing Fan Mingjie to say anything, Lu Ping had already seen Sima Chongfeng in the ray of light. The cultivator with thin eyebrows and small eyes in front of him was most likely Nangong Xiaojian, who was ranked fifth on the Battle Service Leaderboard.
As the ray of light descended, the cultivator with thin eyebrows and small eyes from Skyward Pavilion walked over and said with a smile, "Ah ha, everyone's here. Nangong Xiaojian greets you!"
Lu Ping smiled and was about to speak when he saw the corners of the eyes of Fan Mingjie and the other Purple Sun Palace cultivators twitching, but they all pretended not to see him. Lu Ping was startled. He looked to the side and saw that Qin Shijun was looking at the sky as if he had not heard Nangong Xiaojian's greeting.
Lu Ping now knew that there was a reason for this. When he looked at Sang Yu inquisitively, he saw her yawning loudly.
Lu Ping did not understand how Nangong Xiaojian could be so powerful that even the heirs of the various sects were so afraid of him. He then heard Nangong Xiaojian snicker and say, "Isn't this Brother Fan of Purple Sun Palace? I heard that another person from your Laozu Sect was tricked by Xiao Baiyu?"
Fan Mingjie snorted coldly and said, "Nangong slut, if you're itching for a beating, I'll be more than happy to loosen your muscles and bones. Let's see if your small sword or my big sword is more powerful!"
"Look at that, look at that!"
Nangong Xiaojian pointed at Fan Mingjie and swept his gaze across the crowd with an innocent expression on his face. "How can you fall out with me so easily? You're two of the Six Divine Swords of Purple Sun Palace after all, but your self-restraint is so lacking!"
Seeing that Fan Mingjie was about to explode, Nangong Xiaojian decisively changed his target and sized up Qin Shijun as if he had just discovered his existence. He said happily, "Tsk tsk, look who I've found. Isn't this Gentleman Qin of the Crystal Palace? I heard that you couldn't catch up to Lu Tianping in the final moments of the War Credits Leaderboard, so you brought along a few early Dharma adepts who might be able to make it to the leaderboard to help them compete for the War Credits Leaderboard. To outsiders, you gloriously said that you were helping your sect's adepts and had no time to care about the War Credits Leaderboard.
Qin Shijun put on a fake smile and said, "I remember when was the last time I sparred with Brother Despicable? It seems that Brother Despicable's cultivation hasn't surpassed Brother Dongfang's in the past few years!"
Nangong Xiaojian laughed dryly and said, "You might not necessarily be stronger than Brother Dongfang!"
However, Nangong Xiaojian no longer teased Qin Shijun and turned to look at Sang Yu, who was beside Lu Ping. He said in surprise, "Advisor Sang, I heard that the girl you like is someone else's fiancée …"
"B * tch, do you want to die?"
Sang Yu flew into a rage. A blood-red giant crocodile suddenly emerged from the desert beneath everyone's feet. It opened its mouth and roared as Sang Yu cursed. Its sharp teeth gleamed coldly under the sunlight.
Nangong Xiaojian was not the only one who was shocked. Qin Shijun, Fan Mingjie, and the others were also shocked. They did not expect Sang Yu to have hidden her natal beast in the desert without anyone noticing. If this was a real battle of life and death, even if this move could not severely injure the opponent, it would at least be able to catch them off guard.
Although the others did not notice Sang Yu's move beforehand, Lu Ping had long since sensed it. His expression did not change much, but he somewhat admired Sang Yu for being able to cultivate the Beast Taming Ability to such a high degree.
Nangong Xiaojian let out a strange cry. His figure flickered several times and was already more than ten feet away. He shouted, "Sang Yu, what are you trying to do? Do you want to fight? I'm not afraid of you! But I'm not going to fight you right now! "
Nangong Xiaojian appeared to be in a panic, but Lu Ping did not see any panic in his eyes.
Sang Yu clearly only wanted to scare off the annoying Nangong Xiaojian. She did not want to cause any misunderstandings.
Nangong Xiaojian shuddered when he saw that Sang Yu was only putting on an act. However, he did not provoke Sang Yu again. Instead, he swept his gaze across the crowd and finally fixed his eyes on Lu Ping.
"You must be the Northern Sea Water Sword Immortal, Lu Tianping, whose name has shaken the entire cultivation world?"
Lu Ping smiled. "I dare not call myself a Sword Immortal. I am Northern Sea Lu Tianping!"
Nangong Xiaojian's expression suddenly turned solemn. "Do you know that you're about to run out of luck?"
