When the voice was heard, everyone looked towards the direction of the grove. Li Yu and the other two looked as if they had seen a ghost. Li Yu exclaimed, "Lu Ping! How could you not die … "
As soon as the word "die" came out, Li Cheng and Lin Sheng coughed at the same time. Li Yu's panicked expression disappeared and he swallowed the rest of his words.
Lu Ping was not angry when he heard this. He continued to smile and said, "What? Does Young Master Li know that I, Lu Ping, will die without a doubt?"
Li Yu also knew that he had said something wrong. He quickly forced a smile and said, "How, how could that be? We were just too surprised that you were gone for so long. We thought that Junior Brother Lu had forgotten about your mission to secretly investigate the pirates."
Lu Ping's expression changed. Lin Sheng saw that the atmosphere was not right. He quickly pulled Li Yu and Li Cheng and said, "Since Senior Brother Lu has returned safely, there is no need to take back the Immortal's Cave Mansion. You have saved us a lot of trouble. Junior Brothers, let's go back first."
Li Yu and Li Cheng also came to their senses. They casually said their goodbyes and turned towards Huang Li Island's market place.
Lu Ping leisurely said, "You are plotting against this one's Immortal's Cave Mansion. You can come and go as you please. Do you really think that Lu Ping is easy to bully?"
The people who were about to leave stopped when they heard this. Li Yu was a hot-headed person. He directly said angrily, "Lu Ping, don't be so shameless. Do you really think that we won't smash your Immortal's Cave Mansion today?"
Lu Ping sneered and said, "You are so awe-inspiring. Then Lu Ping will have to experience your methods!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard Lu Ping's words. Hu Lili quickly said, "Let's wait for Master Immortal Liu to come back first. After all, they have the numbers advantage!"
Lu Ping looked at the seven cultivators who came with the three of them. Among them, three were mid Blood Condensation cultivators. Including Li Cheng and Lin Sheng, there were five mid Blood Condensation cultivators. Lin Sheng and one of them was at Fifth Layer Blood Condensation while the other five were early Blood Condensation cultivators. Lu Ping smiled and said, "It's fine. You can all come at me together!"
Lu Ping was blatantly looking down on them. The ten cultivators looked ashamed and angry. Li Yu was even angrier and shouted, "Lu Ping, you're courting death! Don't blame others for it!" He turned to the others and said, "Since they are looking down on us, there is no need for us to be polite. Let's attack together."
The crowd cast out their mystic instruments and attacked Lu Ping. Even the arrogant Lin Sheng and Li Cheng also held their mystic instruments in their hands. However, they didn't attack together with the crowd. Instead, they were waiting to see if Lu Ping could withstand the crowd's attacks. If he could, they wouldn't need to fight. But if he couldn't, they wouldn't be accused of bullying others with numbers.
Lu Ping saw the two of them taking out their magic tools and knew what they were planning. Today, Lu Ping wanted to teach them a lesson and establish his dominance on Huang Li Island. Of course, he would not let them succeed.
Lu Ping cast the [Great River Flowing East Sword Skill] and crushed the eight cultivators' attacks with an unstoppable momentum. The Soaring Wing Swords didn't stop there. Instead, it turned into a torrent of water that flowed down from the sky and swept the ten cultivators, including Li Cheng and Lin Sheng, into it. It was as if the ten cultivators were swept away by a river made of sword rays.
When the ten cultivators finally broke free from the sword light, they realized that two of their mid-grade magic tools had been destroyed by Lu Ping. The remaining eight were also sent flying.
For a moment, the crowd couldn't accept such a huge defeat. They shouted in unison, either recalled their mystic instruments or took out their backup mystic instruments. Once again, they surrounded Lu Ping and attacked him. Previously, they were holding back because they had the advantage in numbers, but this time, they were going all out.
Lu Ping's attitude finally became serious. However, Lu Ping had defeated a late Blood Condensation Realm Primordial Giant Crocodile. There was no suspense in his victory. The Soaring Sword suddenly turned into two intersecting light balls and shot out 36 swords at the incoming magic tools, causing the cultivators' attacks to miss again.
This time, Lu Ping did not hold back. After the two light balls repelled the cultivators' magic tools, they rolled towards the cultivators and shot out another 64 sword lights. Li Cheng, Li Yu, and the other cultivators were caught off guard. Some of the weaker early Blood Condensation cultivators had their defensive magic tools and spells destroyed by Lu Ping.
Lin Sheng and the other Mid Blood Condensation Realm cultivators fared slightly better. They used all their strength to dodge Lu Ping's sword rays, but before they could even straighten their backs, Lu Ping casually pointed his finger at them. The two light orbs trembled again and another 64 sword rays shot out from them.
This time, not only the early Blood Condensation cultivators, but even Lin Sheng and the others were shocked by Lu Ping's strength and killing intent. At the same time, a powerful divine sense circled around them, locking on to the ten cultivators' Qi Ji.
Just when everyone was ready to scream in their hearts, they did not feel the pain of a sharp blade piercing into their bodies as they had imagined. Just when everyone was at a loss, they suddenly felt a sharp pain on their buttocks. The huge impact sent all ten of them flying and rolling on the ground. At the same time, the huge pain on their buttocks made everyone cover their buttocks with their hands and howl in pain. Everyone's buttocks had a long sword scar on them.
Li Yu and the others struggled to stand up. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. Then, they glared at Lu Ping with hatred. Without saying a word, they turned around and led the others away.
Lu Ping grinned and turned around to look at Hu Lili, Chen Lian, and Fang Tao. He noticed that the three of them also looked like they had seen a ghost.
Lu Ping smiled and asked, "Why? Even the three of you believe that I died overseas?"
Fang Tao panicked and repeatedly said that he did not dare to believe it. Chen Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Junior Brother has been missing for five years. I thought I could finally show off my cultivation speed. But I didn't expect that even though my cultivation level has caught up, my strength is still far behind."
Hu Lili nodded in agreement and said, "One against ten, Junior Brother is going to become famous soon."
Lu Ping sighed and said, "If you had been in a state of constant fighting with demonic beasts for the past five years, I believe your strength would have improved by leaps and bounds."
Chen Lian shrugged and did not say anything. Lu Ping came to the cave residence and cast a few spells. The Ice River Killing Array suddenly opened up a path. It was not the first time that Chen Lian and Hu Lili came to Lu Ping's cave residence. After they entered, they were more casual.
Lu Ping asked the three of them to sit down and brewed a pot of spirit tea. Chen Lian asked for a pot of the Hundred Spirit Wine brewed by Lu Ping and drank alone. Hu Lili quickly asked Lu Ping about the past five years.
Lu Ping gave a general explanation. Naturally, there were many omissions. After Chen Lian heard it, he slammed the table and said, "Sure enough, someone leaked your whereabouts. It must be Li Ziming and his son and that Lin Sheng. I say, after Junior Brother didn't return at the appointed time, that Li Yu couldn't wait to jump out and spread the news that you might have died overseas. He even took away your spirit grain field to cultivate. At the same time, he is still thinking about the Pill and Talisman Pavilion that Junior Brother opened. Junior Brother has been missing for five years, and this father and son pair proposed to take back your cave residence. Lin Sheng and Li Cheng also secretly helped them. If it wasn't for Immortal Master Liu suppressing this matter, these people would have already broken into the Ice River Killing Array. "
Lu Ping was actually prepared for the spirit field to be taken away. However, when he heard that these people were still thinking about his cave residence, he felt a little strange and asked, "The spirit field and the shop are not strange, but why are they thinking about my cave residence? When cultivators go out, they usually don't put their valuables in the cave residence, unless it is a secret cave residence."
When Chen Lian heard this, he glanced at Hu Lili. Hu Lili tidied her hair and said, "Let me say this. In the five years that you were gone, several spots of spiritual energy suddenly appeared on Huang Li Island. Now, the spiritual fields on the island have increased from six to seven mu to fourteen mu. The increase in these spots of spiritual energy naturally attracted the attention of the cultivators who were originally stationed on the island. This situation could only mean that there was a spirit vein on the island that was at least at the micro level. However, everyone searched the entire Huang Li Island. They even searched the surrounding several kilometers of sea, but they still came up empty-handed. In the end, everyone directed their suspicions towards the only place that had not been searched, your immortal's cave. The Li Family's father and son even started a rumor that no wonder you didn't open a cave residence on Tian Ling Mountain. So it turns out that you have already found a place with good feng shui. When the five years were up, the father and son gathered Lin Sheng, Li Cheng, and a few cultivators who were affiliated with their family to demand that your cave residence be taken back according to the sect's rules. Fortunately, Master Immortal Liu came to Huang Li Island after you left and is now one of the Master Immortals in charge of Huang Li Island. He is also in the Ninth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm and is about to advance to the Core Forging Realm. With his protection, these people usually don't dare to go too far. Recently, Master Immortal Liu brought Yao Yong, Du Feng, and the other Junior Martial Brothers to patrol the sea, but these people took the opportunity to break into your cave residence. Fortunately, you came back in time. Otherwise, Senior Martial Brother Chen Lian and I wouldn't have been able to stop these ten people. "
Lu Ping sneered and said, "A bunch of clowns!"
Then, he stood up and led Hu Lili, Chen Lian, and Fang Tao through the living room to the fake cultivation room that Lu Ping had opened up. On the back wall of the cultivation room, there was a stone door with a few Spirit-Sealing Talismans that Lu Ping had made.
Lu Ping waved his hand to remove the Spirit-Sealing Talismans, and a faint spiritual energy spread out. Lu Ping turned around and smiled at the three of them. He stretched out his hand and pushed the stone door open. Immediately, the sound of flowing water came from inside, and at the same time, a dense spiritual energy rushed out, making the three people behind Lu Ping exclaim in their hearts.
The situation inside the mountain hadn't changed much. Only the spiritual grass garden that Lu Ping had opened up on the flat ground where the spring water had emerged from had grown verdant and lush. The two Spirit-Gathering Pearls that Lu Ping had buried in the spirit vein had completely fused with the spirit vein. Now, Lu Ping's cave residence had gathered four miniature spirit veins.
At this moment, Fang Tao had a dumbfounded expression. Chen Lian also had a look of surprise and said, "It turns out that Junior Brother's place is really a different world!"
Only Hu Lili might have guessed it, but she didn't expect the spiritual energy inside to be so dense. This was definitely not the level that a miniature spirit vein could reach.
