Back then, Xiao Baiyu calmly left the mountain after killing Lv Taiqing. Of course, it was because he was bound by an oath, but the more important reason was that Purple Sun Palace was waiting for Xiao Baiyu to return to the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect, and then they would use all their strength to wipe out the Heaven-Splitting Sword Sect!
However, Xiao Baiyu did not stay in Skyrend for long. Very soon, he began to wander the cultivation world for more than two hundred years. This caused Purple Sun Palace to be cautious and did not dare to launch a sect-exterminating war against Skyrend!
And the reason was the restraint of Xiao Baiyu who appeared and disappeared mysteriously!
Imagine an existence comparable to a Pure Yang staring at you like a venomous snake, waiting for the moment you were careless to suddenly bite you before retreating and waiting for an opportunity to attack.
Although Dongyi Laozu could not compare to Xiao Baiyu, Zhenling was not Purple Sun Palace either.
Zhenling could not withstand the endless harassment of a great cultivator hiding in the dark. Thus, he left Azure Sea Sect behind, leaving it on the verge of being destroyed by Zhenling at any time. This was also a deterrent to Dongyi Laozu. Once Dongyi Laozu acted recklessly, Zhenling could launch a sect-exterminating war at any time.
Zhenling could already confirm that Dongyi Laozu was not in Azure Sea Sect. Unless Zhenling found traces of Dongyi Laozu and killed him, Zhenling could only do what Purple Sun Palace did to Skyrend back then. Although he could suppress them, he did not dare to launch a sect-exterminating war.
Of course, this was not the only reason that made Zhenling feel helpless.
After all, Zhenling had just established his position as the hegemon of the North Sea. If he rashly launched a sect-annihilation war at this time, it would definitely cause panic among all the sects and forces in the entire North Sea cultivation world. It might even force them to unite against Zhenling. At that time, Zhenling would be badly battered.
The situation in North Sea had gradually calmed down. Zhenling still spared no effort in suppressing the Blue Sea Sect, but there was no need for Lu Ping to do the rest himself.
After leaving Earthly Blaze Island, Lu Ping hovered above the surface of the sea, as if he was waiting for someone.
A moment later, a red cloud floated over, and a masked woman stood gracefully on the cloud, waving at Lu Ping.
Lu Ping smiled faintly. He took a step forward and covered an unknown distance in the blink of an eye. In the blink of an eye, he stood on the masked woman's cloud.
The fiery-red veil slid off the woman's face, and Lu Ping smiled at Chi Lianying and said, "Thank you for stopping Lin Xuqing that day!"
Chi Lianying rolled his eyes at Lu Ping and said, "I just wanted to scare him. Lin Xuqing was running away, so it didn't make much of a difference whether I stopped him or not."
Lu Ping asked again, "How have you been in the North Sea? I'm about to return to Huangli Island, do you want to come with me?"
Chi Lianying giggled and said, "I don't dare to go. I don't want your first wife to misunderstand!"
No matter how one listened to it, these words were full of ambiguity. Before Lu Ping could reveal a strange expression, Chi Lianying couldn't help but laugh.
"Alright. Are you still traveling in the North Sea or returning to the East Sea? I'll be taking a detour to the Middle Earth in a few days. Do you want to come with me? "Lu Ping thought about it and asked again.
Hearing that Lu Ping was going to the Middle Earth, Chi Lianying's eyes lit up, and she said, "I've never been to the Middle Earth, and the North Sea is very boring. I'll return to the East Sea first, and you must call me when you go to the Middle Earth. Otherwise, I'll definitely teach you a lesson. But why are you going to the Middle Earth? "
Lu Ping shrugged and said, "I'll first go to the Heavenly Profound Sect to welcome the treasured ship, then go to the Heavenly Moon Sect to take a look. After that, I'll be invited to witness a sword duel."
"Sword duel?"
Chi Lianying was someone who craved for the world to be in chaos. Hearing that there was such a show to watch, she was even more determined to follow Lu Ping to the Middle Earth.
"But really, now that you've recovered most of your memories and appearance, don't you want to come with me to see Master? Master has always felt guilty about your disappearance all these years. "
Chi Lianying originally wanted to gloss over it, but seeing Lu Ping's serious expression, she could only say in distress, "See what she says? Hug her head and cry? Moreover, although Aunt Qin doesn't like me all these years, she still saved my life and taught me how to cultivate. I owe her a lot. If I return to the sect, what will Aunt Qin do? Thinking about this, I feel that it's better for me to stay in the East Sea. These years, I've gotten used to living freely. I can do whatever I want on Soundwave Island, and if I really return to the Heavenly Spirit Mountain, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt there. "
Lu Ping originally wanted to say something, but he suddenly remembered what Mei Tianqin had said to him. One Jiang Tianxuan, one Chi Lianying. The grievances of the previous generation were now entangled in a mess. It was not even clear who was right and who was wrong. As for juniors like Lu Ping, they were even more clueless about the intricate relationship between them.
Since Chi Lianying didn't want to return to Zhenling, Lu Ping naturally respected her choice. After sending her to the East Sea, Lu Ping also flew towards Huang Li Island.
"Brother Xie, Brother Sang, I still have to thank the two of you for your help. Huang Li Island did not fall into the hands of the demon race again. It's just that I haven't been able to find time to thank the two of you personally these days. Please don't blame me!" Lu Ping smiled and cupped his fists towards the two.
Xie Tianyang smiled and said, "It's good that you didn't come. The scenery of the North Sea has its own charm. Your arrival has disturbed Brother Sang and me!"
Sang Yu said, "You and I are sworn brothers, there's no need to be so polite!"
After the three sat down, Lu Ping then said seriously, "Brother Xie, what is going on with the sword duel between your sect and Skyrend? Brother Xie, are you sure you can win? Brother Xie, I also received an invitation from Skyrend at the foot of Tian Ling Mountain, and it was personally written by Xiao Baiyu. When the time comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to help Brother Xie."
At this time, Sang Yu also said, "Speaking of this, our sect's Feng Lu Laozu also received an invitation from Skyrend. The old man has a deep friendship with Xiao Baiyu. When the time comes, I'm afraid he will stand on Xiao Baiyu's side."
Xie Tianyang didn't seem surprised that Lu Ping had received an invitation from Skyrend, and he naturally knew about Feng Lu Laozu's matter. He said in a low voice, "I originally wanted to use Brother Lu's reputation as a witness. I believe Skyrend did this for the same reason. Brother Lu, you don't have to take it to heart! As for Feng Lu Laozu, he is Xiao Baiyu's good friend. Their friendship has nothing to do with us. "
During the sword duel at Purple Sun Palace, Xiao Baiyu had barged into the Purple Sun Palace alone. He had used words to trick the Pure Yang Sword Immortal, Lv Taiqing, to take three of his attacks as a wager on whether Skyrend would join the Purple Sun Palace.
Lv Taiqing didn't know it was a trap and was killed by Xiao Baiyu with the Heaven Opening Sword Technique.
After that, Xiao Baiyu fled to the ends of the world. Purple Sun Palace didn't dare to attack Skyrend for fear of harming the innocent. When Xiao Baiyu appeared again, he was already Pure Yang Laozu, one of the few experts in the world. Purple Sun Palace couldn't do anything to him, so they could only place their hopes on the second sword duel between the two.
The second sword duel was also the content of the wager between Xiao Baiyu and Purple Sun Palace. Xiao Baiyu killed Lv Taiqing by trickery. Although Purple Sun Palace couldn't stop him from leaving due to the wager, it forced Xiao Baiyu to agree to the second sword duel.
After listening to Xie Tianyang's story, Lu Ping asked, "I am familiar with the six great swordsmen of your sect. Brother Fan, Brother Su, and Brother Xie, but I am not familiar with the other three. I wonder if Brother Xie has any confidence in this sword duel?"
Xie Tianyang smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I don't have much confidence. If all six of us had advanced to the late Dharma stage, with the help of our sect's secret sword formation, we could have the upper hand in this battle. Now, only Big Brother Yan Nanfei, Second Brother Fan Mingjie, and I have passed the second Thunder Trial. Third Brother Su Jin is at the final stage of advancing. I don't know if he can reach the late Dharma stage in time for the sword duel. However, even if he succeeds, I'm afraid he won't have time to stabilize his training. As for Fourth Brother Guo Luanxing and Fifth Brother Tian Boliang, they won't be able to advance to the late Dharma stage in time for the sword duel."
Lu Ping's expression was solemn. He had seen the sword techniques of Xie Tianyang and the others. Although he didn't know how strong Feng Liefeng was, he guessed that he wouldn't be too far off from Fan Mingjie and Xie Tianyang. Although the three of them had already advanced to the late Dharma stage, with Lu Ping's current abilities, he could estimate the limits of their abilities.
And he had also seen Xiao Baiyu's amazing sword techniques before. In fact, Lu Ping secretly thought that Xiao Baiyu might still be holding back. If that was the case, the key would depend on whether Su Jin could advance to the late Dharma stage and the power of the secret sword formation of Purple Sun Palace that Xie Tianyang had mentioned.
The situation in the North Sea had already stabilized. Counting the days, the ship should have left the Ocean of Storms and was about to reach the coast of the Tianxuan Sect. The three of them immediately left the North Sea and took a detour to the East Sea to head towards Central Plains.
However, in the Fallen Mystery Land, Lu Ping brought along Chi Lianying, who had been waiting for a long time. Chi Lianying was dressed in red and had a red veil covering her face, but it still couldn't hide her beautiful figure and wild aura. This made Xie Tianyang and Sang Yu secretly praise Lu Ping's luck with women.
The four of them went their separate ways when they reached Central Plains. Lu Ping and Chi Lianying had to go to the Tianxuan Sect to receive their own ship, while Xie Tianyang returned to Purple Sun Palace to report on his mission. Sang Yu also seemed to have important matters to attend to.
After saying goodbye to the two, Lu Ping and Chi Lianying headed north. Chi Lianying's beautiful eyes darted around as she said, "When the Purple Sun Palace and Xiao Baiyu have a sword duel, are you really not going to help?"
Lu Ping's expression was solemn as he said, "I'm not sure. This time, I'm afraid that the two of them are not just dueling for the sake of the bet. There must be some deeper reason behind it. When the time comes, we can only act according to the circumstances. However, when we go to the Tianxuan Sect this time, we should be able to meet Seven Fans Laozu. Maybe we can learn something from him."
Chi Lianying asked again, "With your current strength, what will you do if you go up against Xiao Baiyu?"
Lu Ping was stunned for a moment and said, "I have no chance of winning."
However, Lu Ping was also a little unconvinced. He said, "If I advance to the Pure Yang stage, then Xiao Baiyu may not be my match."
Chi Lianying giggled crisply.
Lu Ping's arrival attracted the attention of the Tianxuan Sect from top to bottom. They sent Qingli Laozu to personally welcome him. This was already a sign that they were treating Lu Ping as a sect master and a Grandmaster.
The current Lu Ping's status was different from before, especially after he crossed the Stormy Ocean with his physical body. The cultivation world was even more certain that Lu Ping was the culprit behind Yan Jiuxiao's death. As for Lu Ping and Zhenling, their status in the cultivation world naturally rose along with it.
