Suddenly, nearly a hundred beams of light soared up from Huang Li Island, causing the cultivators on the island to spread the news. After learning that this was a joint hunting operation organized by the North Sea Alliance, several hundred more beams of light flew out from Huang Li Island one after another, following the beams of light of the hunting cultivators on Huang Li Island and heading in the direction of the demon territory.
Similar scenes were playing out on the islands of the various sects in North Sea that were close to the demon territory.
A few days later, 18 cultivators flew across the sky above the buffer zone. After a while, another 70 cultivators followed behind them.
Niu Dazhuang was flying slower. He complained, "These senior immortals are just relying on their Eighth or Ninth Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivation. Why do they only care about flying and leave us behind?"
Yao Yong was leading the first patrol team on a flaming boat. His Seventh Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivation allowed him to fly with ease. When he heard Niu Dazhuang's complaint, he turned his head and smiled. "I'm afraid the senior brothers of the six patrol teams are testing us. Anyway, this buffer zone is not dangerous for us."
It turned out that when everyone was heading towards the demon territory, the 18 senior immortals from Huang Li Island's six patrol teams flew towards the demon territory at the same time, leaving everyone behind.
At first, the cultivators from the various patrol teams tried their best to chase after the 18 senior immortals. However, as time passed, some of them were not good at flying, and some of them were lacking in spiritual energy. Gradually, some of them fell behind.
Lu Ping had been chased by cultivators and beasts that were far stronger than him several times. He had already perfected his escaping skills. If necessary, Lu Ping could even catch up to the 18 senior immortals. However, Lu Ping didn't want to be in the limelight. He only released Lu Dagui, who had just broken through to the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm, from the spirit beast pouch. He stood on Lu Dagui's broad turtle back and followed behind Yao Yong.
After breaking through to the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm and merging with the Primordial Giant Crocodile's bloodline, Lu Dagui's strength had improved greatly. After being released by Lu Ping, he attracted the attention of many cultivators. Niu Dazhuang and Zhong Jian weren't good at flying, so they landed on Lu Dagui's back to conserve their spiritual energy.
At this moment, there was a commotion among the third patrol team. A large high-grade flying boat suddenly flew out from the crowd. Twelve cultivators from the third patrol team were on the boat. Lin Sheng, Li Cheng, Li Yu, and the others were on the boat. It had only been a year since they last met, and Lin Sheng had actually broken through to the Seventh Layer Blood Condensation Realm. No wonder he was a genius on the same level as Yao Yong back in the Zhen Ling Side Courtyard.
The third patrol team stood out from the crowd. Li Yu laughed proudly as he looked at the people lagging behind. Li Cheng and Lin Sheng couldn't help but look at the first group, especially Lu Ping. Their gazes were filled with provocation.
At this moment, a carriage suddenly dashed out from the fifth patrol team. This carriage was pulled by four fine horses, and there was a cultivator standing on the carriage as the driver. The carriage sped across the sea, leaving two white splashes in the air. In the blink of an eye, it caught up to the flying boat.
Lu Ping looked at the four fine horses with curiosity. They were clearly not demonic beasts, but four puppet beasts. Moreover, each of them was in the mid-stage Blood Condensation Realm.
The appearance of the flying boat and the carriage seemed to have ignited the cultivators' passion. Several bird cries and beast roars could be heard, and a few demonic beasts appeared in the sky. There were also a few demonic beasts running on the surface of the sea. More than a dozen cultivators ran ahead of them.
The rest of the cultivators also showed their skills. For a moment, a race between cultivators was staged in the sky above the buffer zone.
Yao Yong turned his head and smiled. "Looks like we have to show our skills too. We can't let others look down on us for no reason!"
Yao Yong put his finger in his mouth and blew on it. With a long neigh, a sturdy maroon Qilin Horse with four hooves burning with raging flames appeared on the surface of the sea. Yao Yong leaped onto the Qilin Horse and shouted, "I'll go first!"
The Qilin Horse leapt up with its forelegs and galloped forward. In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared without a trace. Only a palm-sized flame was left on the surface of the sea, dragging along with the undulation of the waves.
Du Feng snorted coldly. A flying sword hummed, and a cold green light flashed on the surface of the sea. Then, Du Feng disappeared.
"The Golden Space Piercing Flash is indeed extraordinary!" Chen Lian praised loudly. Then, a ball of red light ignited under his feet. With a flash of red light, only Chen Lian's teasing voice could be heard, "Junior Martial Brother Lu, capable people do more work. The few of us will be going first."
Zhong Jian and Ma Yu looked at each other. Zhong Jian turned to Lu Ping and chuckled. Holding Ma Yu's hand, the two of them replenished each other's transcendence energy. With a shake of the flying magic tool under their feet, they left Lu Ping behind.
"'Twin Wings Art'! I can't believe the two of them actually mastered this spell! "Lu Ping was speechless.
Leng Qian didn't say a word. Suddenly, a pair of ice crystal wings extended from her back. In a flash, she chased after the crowd. Shi Lingling giggled. She took out a fiery red jade talisman and injected her transcendence energy into it.
Lu Ping's eyes twitched. This Senior Martial Sister was actually using a talisman to travel!
The jade talisman glowed red, and Shi Lingling had already turned into a streak of light on the horizon!
Lu Ping looked at the remaining people. Zhang Zicheng, Hu Lili, Niu Dazhuang, and Zheng Jie were only at the Fifth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. Their speed was already slow, and they didn't have any good flying magic tools or spirit beasts.
When Zhang Zicheng and the others saw that everyone had flying techniques, they could only helplessly laugh bitterly. They planned to fly as fast as they could. At this moment, a clear bird cry rang out. The sky above them darkened. A huge demonic bird had already appeared above them.
Ignoring the shock that Lu Qin's appearance brought to everyone, Lu Ping hurriedly beckoned Zhang Zicheng, Zheng Jie, and Niu Dazhuang to get on Lu Qin's back.
A dissatisfied chirp interrupted Lu Ping's call. The proud Blue Luan was unwilling to let anyone other than Lu Ping sit on its back.
Lu Ping had no choice but to persuade it. "Alright, this time, we must find you a few wind-fire Condensed Blood Pearls in the Demonic Sea. They'll help you break through to the late stage of the Blood Condensation Realm. What do you think?"
Lu Qin lowered her head and looked at Lu Ping, as if she was weighing the sincerity of Lu Ping's promise. Seeing that her master, Lu Ping, was about to lose his temper, Lu Qin flapped her wings playfully and agreed to Lu Ping's deal.
Once Niu Dazhuang, Zheng Jie, and Zhang Zicheng sat on Lu Qin's back, the Blue Luan let out a long chirp and flapped its wings. The surface of the sea immediately sank, and the Blue Luan flew forward at a speed faster than the other cultivators.
Lu Ping gracefully made an inviting gesture. Hu Lili chuckled. Although there was a hint of redness on her delicate face, she still generously placed her jade-like wrist in Lu Ping's outstretched hand. Her wrist landed on Lu Ping's Magic Cloud Pouch.
Lu Ping waved his hand and kept Lu Dagui's spirit beast pouch. The Magic Cloud Pouch quickly rose into the clouds and disappeared without a trace.
At the boundary of the buffer sea and the Demonic Sea, Zhenling's group of eighteen late stage Blood Condensation cultivators hovered in the air, waiting for the other cultivators to catch up.
"I wonder which of those brats will catch up first!"
"Those brats always flaunt their cultivation speed. Today, we'll teach them a lesson. Just because they cultivate fast doesn't mean they're strong. The key is whether their foundation is strong or not. If their foundation isn't strong, no matter how fast they cultivate, it'll all be for naught."
"That's right!"
"Haha, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint all of you this time. Li Cheng of our Third Patrol Brigade has a large high-grade flying boat. If the other members of the Third Patrol Brigade work together to control it, I believe their speed won't be far from ours."
Everyone turned to look at the person who spoke. It was the third patrol team's vice captain, Li Ziming, who had already reached the Eighth Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm.
Master Immortal Zhang of the third patrol team couldn't stand Li Ziming's smug expression. He sneered, "A high-grade flying ship? That's nothing. I heard that my team's Yuan Zhan also has a high-grade puppet artifact. Who knows who will win?"
… …
Liu Ziyuan ignored everyone's argument. He raised his head and looked at the distant sky. "It's coming!"
The arguing master immortals turned to look at the distant sea. A faint black dot was already flying in their direction.
Just when everyone was still guessing whether it was a flying boat or a puppet carriage, a clear and melodious bird cry rang out. Everyone was startled. The small black dot in the distance instantly enlarged, and a gust of wind blew. A huge demon bird had already flown over the heads of the cultivators. The gust of wind blew against their faces, causing everyone's clothes to flutter violently.
Li Ziming's expression changed. He shouted, "Not good, a demonic beast is attacking!"
As he spoke, he threw out a rope-like magic tool. The rope danced in the air, and like a snake, it coiled around the wings of the Demon Bird. As long as the wings of the Demon Bird were bound, the Demon Bird could only wait to be slaughtered.
The demonic bird looked huge, but it was extremely nimble in the air. As it flew, it tilted its body and immediately avoided the entanglement of the rope. At the same time, it stretched out its two huge claws and grabbed the two ends of the rope. Taking advantage of the situation, it tore the rope of the mid-grade magic tool into two.
Li Ziming cried out in distress. "Evil beast, how dare you. Fellow Daoists, this demonic bird is very troublesome. Quickly help me take it down!"
As soon as Li Ziming finished speaking, a high-grade magic tool appeared in his hand. Just as he was about to use it, he saw the Cultivators talking and looking at the scenery. A few of the kind-hearted Cultivators wanted to remind him of something, but in the end, they were too embarrassed to say anything. They just looked at him with a strange expression.
Li Ziming finally felt that something was wrong. When he looked up, he saw that the demonic bird hadn't gone far. It was circling above everyone's heads and didn't continue to attack them. Li Ziming came to his senses. He spread out his divine sense and found a cultivator sitting on the demonic bird's back.
It was a mount!
Li Ziming suddenly felt a burning sensation on his face!
"Senior Martial Brother Li is old enough and his cultivation is high enough. It is reasonable to say that he has enough experience and knowledge. How can you not even distinguish a spirit beast from a demonic beast?"
A white cloud slowly descended from the sky. A mocking voice came from the cloud. It was the same words that Li Ziming used to mock Lu Ping. If it wasn't Lu Ping, who else could it be?
