After bidding farewell to Liang Xuanfeng, Lu Ping returned to his rented abode dejectedly. Chi Lianying stayed at the Listening Villa. She heard that Perfected Plum would give a lecture to her disciples after the ceremony. Chi Lianying naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity. She also had to prepare to break through to the Core Forging stage.
Lu Ping was curious about the relationship between Chi Lianying and Perfected Plum. They weren't master and disciple, but Chi Lianying was qualified to listen to Perfected Plum's lecture. He thought about how Chi Lianying had said before leaving, "Xiao Lu, when I've condensed my Golden Core, I'll take care of anything that I can't settle!"
Lu Ping couldn't help but laugh. This woman might look rash, but she was extremely shrewd. Lu Ping also couldn't figure out why Chi Lianying was following him. She didn't look like a spy planted by the "boudoir" at all.
Before Perfected Liang Xuanfeng left, he hesitated for a long time before solemnly telling Lu Ping not to get close to Perfected Plum. This made Lu Ping very surprised and felt that it was unusual.
Lu Ping suspected that Perfected Plum was also a Perfected Master of the sect. He wanted to ask about her background, but Perfected Liang Xuanfeng waved his hand and said, "It's no good for you to know these things. I shouldn't tell you either. Anyway, don't get too close to her, and don't mention that you're Zhenling's disciple to her."
After telling Lu Ping, Perfected Liang Xuanfeng murmured to himself, "Damn, they're all demons. I wanted to ask her for help, but I didn't expect her to go into seclusion to break through to the Dharma stage after accepting her as a disciple. I can only rely on myself now."
Lu Ping wanted to ask more, but Perfected Liang Xuanfeng didn't give him a chance. He turned around and disappeared.
Lu Ping shook his head helplessly. Before leaving North Sea, Grandmaster Jiang Xuanlin had just broken through to the Dharma stage, and Master Liu Xuanling was also making the final preparations. He just learned from Uncle-Master Liang Xuanfeng that Xuan Ling Sect's Feng Xudao had also broken through to the Dharma stage. He seemed to have arranged a battle with Grandmaster Jiang Xuanlin, but he returned in defeat, shocking the entire North Sea again.
Now Yan Wujiu was about to break through to the Dharma stage and had no time to attend to the internal strife within the clan, so he entrusted Luan Yu to Lu Ping. Immortal Mei was also going into seclusion. Uncle-Master Liang Xuanfeng was also going into seclusion. Uncle-Master Liang was also running around for the opportunity to break through to the Dharma stage. All he knew was that all these high-level Cultivators were all to break.
If something was going to happen that could make these high-grade cultivators so cautious, then it had to be an earth-shattering event that concerned the entire cultivation world.
Thinking of North Sea, Lu Ping couldn't help but think of Hu Lili. She had indeed lived up to his expectations. Now, she had been accepted as a disciple by her master, Perfected Liu Xuanling's Junior Sister, Perfected Xuanchen. Perfected Xuanchen had even caused trouble in the Yuan and Leng families, but the Core Forging Sages of the two families mysteriously didn't appear to stop him. Rumor had it that Perfected Liu Xuanling was the only one who could not get out of the cave.
However, Lu Ping didn't know the details of the matter. As for Leng Qian and Yuan Zhan, Perfected Liang Xuanfeng obviously wouldn't pay attention to it. However, from Lu Ping's point of view, there was no evidence that the Yuan family colluded with foreign enemies to frame Lu Ping. At most, Hu Lili could only remind Perfected Liu Xuanling to be on guard. Otherwise, the one who caused trouble in the Yuan and Leng families wouldn't be Perfected Xuanchen, but Perfected Liu Xuanling who was hiding behind the scenes.
Lu Ping, who was thinking along the way, obviously let his guard down. Moreover, Lu Ping didn't expect any accidents to happen in Qianyuan City. Therefore, Lu Ping didn't notice that there were no pedestrians on the remote street that he was walking on.
Only the sound of Lu Ping's footsteps could be heard on the empty street. Lu Ping was shocked. When he stopped and looked around, he saw a layer of rippling light covering the entire street.
Lu Ping's Divine Sense was like mercury, spreading in all directions. However, it was tightly bound by this layer of light in the formation.
Lu Ping reached out and slashed to the left. The Golden Scale Sword suddenly appeared in his hand and he slashed downwards. A crisp "dang" sound was heard. A masked cultivator in linen clothes maintained the posture of using the magic weapon in his hand to block the Golden Scale Sword. However, he was cut out by Lu Ping.
Immediately after, the masked cultivator's eyes showed shock and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The veil covering his face turned purplish-red because of the blood.
The Golden Scale Sword immediately swung behind him. Dozens of sword shadows densely filled the street behind him. Three cultivators retreated from their invisible state in a sorry state to block Lu Ping's attack.
At that moment, three more cultivators rushed over. Just as they raised the magic weapons in their hands, three whip shadows — one azure, one blue, and one white — suddenly flashed in the air and fiercely struck the three magic weapons. The three magic weapons immediately lost control and flew far away.
The three cultivators attempted to regain control of the three Magic artefacts only to see the three whips pouncing towards them. The three cultivators hastily abandoned the three Magic artefacts that were knocked away and joined forces to form a simple array to temporarily block the three whips.
Three heavy blows landed on the same spot of the shield in a row, causing the high-grade shield in front of the three of them to shake, deform, and shatter. The person who stood in front of the shield was severely injured, and before he could even spit out a mouthful of blood, a white whip shadow had already lashed on his body. Only then did the other two people realize that the white whip shadow was actually a three-feet-long white snake.
In the end, the injured cultivator didn't spit out a mouthful of blood. Instead, two bright red ice cubes protruded from his mouth. Then, he fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
The other two cultivators still hadn't recovered from their shock. The remaining blue and azure snakes had already charged towards them in a zigzagging trajectory.
At that moment, two of the three cultivators behind Lu Ping who planned to mount a sneak attack had already been beheaded by Lu Ping. There was only one cultivator left who was stubbornly resisting. However, he had already lost sight of the others. He simply didn't notice that a large brick had already risen high behind him and then fiercely smashed down.
"Dong!" Even Lu Ping felt pain for this person. Immediately after, the cultivator's eyes rolled up, revealing a large area of white eyeballs. Then, he fell forward stiffly.
At that moment, Lu Ping once again felt a hair-raising murderous intent coming straight at Lu Ping's back.
There was actually a Core Forging Enlightened Master lying in ambush!
Lu Ping couldn't be bothered with anything else. He tightened his Golden Scale Sword and condensed a Sword of True Essence. Then, he slashed at the magic tool that was rushing towards him from behind. At the same time, his left hand subconsciously moved in coordination with the sword art in his hand.
Just like before, this cultivator was dressed in linen garments and his face was covered with a vast and mighty true essence. It was clear that he was at the Core Forging stage.
"Yi! It's actually a magic treasure! I want it!"
The assassin in linen garments said happily.
The ear-piercing sound of metal colliding rang out in succession. Bursts of sword qi and sword light danced in all directions. Lu Ping retreated several steps in succession. His complexion was somewhat pale due to the consumption of magic power and the tyrannical strength of his opponent.
Although this second layer Core Forging cultivator's cultivation was similar to Dao Master Jin Li's, his strength was far above that of the heavily injured Dao Master Jin Li.
"You were actually able to take one of my attacks and not die!"
The masked Daoist in linen garments had a malevolent expression on his face. His voice was distorted as he said, "How is this possible? I can't let you live!"
He reached out and recalled the Flying Spear that had collided with the Golden Scale Sword. Unexpectedly, it was also a magic treasure. He was about to attack again.
At that moment, two screams suddenly rang out. It turned out that the remaining two people had also been killed by Lu Qing and Lu Hai. Of his two subordinates, one had his flesh and bones separated, the other had half of his body corroded, and the first cultivator killed by Lu Ling had already been shattered into pieces of ice. The corner of the masked Daoist's eyes twitched and he said, "Your Excellency is truly ruthless. I will make sure you die without a burial!"
Spiritual light flourished around the Flying Spear and a huge spear shadow soared into the sky. The sharp spear tip pointed towards Lu Ping from afar. The spear tip swayed slightly as if it had sealed off all of Lu Ping's escape routes.
Lu Ping wasn't alarmed, but rather delighted. He faced the masked Daoist with a strange smile.
The masked Daoist was startled and inwardly cursed, "Not good!" Then he heard the sound of silk tearing. A faintly discernible flying sword had already torn apart the light barrier that had previously imprisoned the area while he was fighting Lu Ping with all his strength.
The masked Daoist, who was about to attack with all his strength, caused the already turbulent spiritual energy to become even more turbulent. Now that the formation was suddenly destroyed, almost a third of Heaven Origin City knew that someone was fighting in the city, and that it was a Core Forging expert.
"Which son of a bitch is fighting in the city!"
An angry howl came from afar. It was clear that the unscrupulous fighting in Heaven Origin City had angered the Enlightened Masters of the Northern Alliance. Moreover, the Northern Alliance Enlightened Master who had rushed over was clearly not a good-tempered person.
"Count yourself lucky!"
Through the short exchange just now, the masked Daoist knew that Lu Ping couldn't be taken down in a short time. He turned around and hid in the alley, disappearing in an instant.
Lu Ping kept the Samling in the spirit beast pouch. Dabao, who had knocked out the cultivator with the brick, had already picked up the seven storage pouches.
Lu Ping wanted to take the cultivator alive, but Qian Zhongsu's magic tool was left in the cave. He had no choice but to kill the cultivator with his sword. Then, he retracted his aura and disappeared into the alley.
In the sky, a red light landed on the scene of the battle. Looking at the seven corpses on the ground, the bearded Enlightened Master's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Then, a few more lights landed beside the bearded Enlightened Master, searching for the murderer with him.
At this time, Lu Ping had already blended into the crowd of the more prosperous streets. A large amount of divine sense covered the streets, searching for suspicious cultivators. However, Lu Ping's Blood Condensation cultivation obviously didn't attract the attention of the investigators.
At this time, Lu Ping had already returned to his cave-dwelling, leaving aside the huge shock caused by the battle in Qian Yuan City.
However, just as the Northern Alliance Enlightened Masters of Heaven Origin City cleaned up the scene of the battle and left, at the mouth of an alley on the side of the street, two slender cultivators, who looked like they had no bones, forcibly squeezed out from a tightly locked window.
