Originally, the North Sea sects had gathered at the border between the buffer zone and the monster spirits' waters. After meeting up with the cultivators who'd rushed to their aid, they fought a fierce battle with the pursuing monster spirits and forced them back into the monster spirits' waters.
Afterwards, the cultivators dispersed and returned to their respective sects. Led by Master Xuan Mu, Huang Li Island's six patrol squads also returned to Huang Li Island.
However, just as they separated from the rest of their sects, a giant fist suddenly appeared in the sky and smashed down viciously at the Huang Li Island cultivators.
"Not good!" Master Xuan Mu cried out and fought with his life on the line. Unfortunately, his cultivation was only at the second level of core forging, and he was gravely injured and spat out blood. The aftermath of the spell dispersed, and under the leadership of the cultivators in charge, the squads deployed the "Three Talents and Five Elements Formation" to resist.
Although they barely managed to block the spell's aftermath, the cultivators in charge of the formation were all gravely injured, and the "Three Talents and Five Elements Formation" collapsed.
Just as everyone was panicking, the fist didn't appear in the sky. Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, they discovered that they'd been surrounded by monster beasts that had suddenly emerged from the sea.
There were too many monster beasts, and they couldn't form a formation in their haste to defend themselves. With no other choice, the heavily injured Master Xuan Mu had to attack again, creating a gap in the monster encirclement and ordering everyone to split up and break out.
Lu Ping's heart raced with worry. Why hadn't anyone sensed such a large group of monster beasts entering the buffer zone and gathering there? Also, why hadn't the mysterious culprit who'd injured Master Xuan Mu with a single blow attacked Master Xuan Mu? The Zhenling cultivators present were already powerless to resist, so why did they let the monster beasts do something unnecessary?
Just as Lu Ping was about to return to his residence to pack up and head out to sea, Chen Lian and Du Feng suddenly walked in. The two wielded magic tools and emanated a murderous aura. Their bodies were stained with blood, and there were many monster beast wounds on their shoulders and legs. Clearly, they'd just returned to Huang Li Island.
Chen Lian's face lit up when he saw Lu Ping in the meeting hall, then darkened. Ignoring Lu Ping's urgent questions, he tugged on Lu Ping's arm and said, "Come with me to Master Immortal Liu's residence. He's injured, so we'll talk when we get there."
Hu Lili was missing!
Lu Ping focused all of his divine sense on the man in front of him. His tremendous divine sense, which could cover a radius of one hundred and sixty to seven hundred feet, overlapped layer by layer and enveloped the man in front of him tightly. Around Lu Ping, an invisible, sharp airflow rolled, tore, and shattered many things in the cultivation room.
His hair stood on end!
Master Immortal Liu, Yao Yong, Zhong Jian, and the other members of the First Sea Patrol Brigade, as well as the leaders and deputy leaders of the other five Sea Patrol Brigades, a total of more than twenty people, watched as Lu Ping unleashed his might on the man before him.
"Divine sense suppression! This is something only a Core Forging Enlightened Master can do. This Lu Ping is only at the Seventh Layer of the Blood Condensation Realm. How can he suppress us?"
The two Eighth Layer Blood Condensation Realm vice-leaders sitting beside him were looking at Lu Ping with pale faces. Beads of sweat formed on their foreheads and trickled down their cheeks, but they didn't dare to move an inch. Lu Ping's body trembled in fear as he looked at the Eighth Layer Blood Condensation Realm vice-leaders.
Master Immortal Liu Ziyuan had already forgotten about his internal injuries. He stared blankly at the ferocious expression on Lu Ping's face and murmured, "Formless turning into tangible form. This is a phenomenon that occurs when one's divine sense is about to transform into divine sense. This kid's divine sense has already reached such a level!"
"In other words, my Senior Martial Sister Hu voluntarily led the demonic beasts away, allowing you, Leng Qian, and Ninth Junior Martial Sister to escape?" With great difficulty, Lu Ping suppressed the killing intent in his heart and asked word by word. His voice was low and deep as he spoke through gritted teeth.
The man before him blushed. It was unclear whether it was because of Lu Ping's suppression or the shame in his heart. He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
Li Ziming, who was sitting on the other side, laughed dryly and said, "Junior Martial Brother Lu, please don't be angry. Your murderous expression made Junior Martial Brother Yuan speechless. Moreover, Junior Martial Sister Hu voluntarily led the demonic beasts away, so you can't blame Junior Martial Brother Yuan …"
"Shut up!"
Lu Ping turned his head and glared at Li Ziming. His divine sense mixed with killing intent blew up a cloud of dust in the cultivation room and rushed towards Li Ziming.
Li Ziming's head was pushed back by the impact of this Spiritual Consciousness. Suddenly, he felt a burst of dizziness. Li Ziming reacted in an exceptionally angry manner. His whole body's magic power surged. It seemed that if he did not say a word, blood would splash five steps away.
However, Lu Ping's eyes were like two sharp swords. Li Ziming didn't dare to look at him. At the same time, he could feel Lu Ping's powerful divine sense scanning his body. Li Ziming understood that Lu Ping wanted someone to give him an excuse to start a massacre. Li Ziming, who had a grudge against Lu Ping, was undoubtedly his favorite target.
Indeed, Lu Ping wanted to kill right now. However, he had been on the verge of death many times, so he didn't lose his mind. Although Li Ziming was trying to help the man in front of him, Lu Ping still slowly retracted his divine sense. The dust that was crushed by Lu Ping's divine sense slowly fell to the ground, and everyone in the cultivation room heaved a sigh of relief. They didn't expect Lu Ping's aura to be able to suppress all the Late Blood Condensation Realm cultivators in the room.
Lu Ping was still locked on to him. If he couldn't explain himself, he would be greeted by Lu Ping's killing blow.
The person in front of him was none other than Yuan Zhan. During the Zhen Ling Side Hall's grand competition, he was defeated by Lu Ping and eliminated from the competition. Now, he was a Seventh Layer Blood Condensation Realm cultivator and a member of the fifth patrol team.
Yuan Zhan looked at Lu Ping with lingering fear. His face was still red, but his eyes had calmed down. He said coldly, "Hmph, Junior Brother Lu is so majestic. Do you really think you are a Core Forging Enlightened Master?"
Yuan Zhan was actually mocking Lu Ping for being arrogant and not putting the leaders in his eyes.
Lu Ping remained unmoved, but his eyes had already turned cold and emitted a dense killing intent.
Yao Yong was a hot-tempered person. He couldn't stand people talking in a roundabout way. Moreover, Yao Yong believed that it was a man's job to lure the demonic beasts away, but he used a woman as a scapegoat. He already saw Yuan Zhan as a weakling.
Without waiting for Lu Ping to speak, Yao Yong started scolding, "If you have something to say, say it. Who are you trying to listen to your nonsense?"
Lu Ping didn't care about Yuan Zhan's provocative words at all. He only wanted to hear the whole story. If Yuan Zhan couldn't give him a reasonable explanation, Lu Ping wouldn't hesitate to kill him on the spot. Even if Yuan Zhan was telling the truth, in Lu Ping's eyes, Yuan Zhan would only live a little longer.
Lu Ping had never hated a person so much. Lu Ping didn't care about the reason why a woman had to take the blame. He just wanted Yuan Zhan to die. Hu Lili died because of him, so he had to die with her. This was the Scarlet Robe Fruit's wrath!
Lu Ping didn't hide his anger at Yuan Zhan!
Yuan Zhan seemed to have sensed it, but he still tried his best to calm down from Lu Ping's killing intent. He recounted what happened yesterday.
