In fact, Lu Ping already had plans for Yin Xuanchu. At the very least, Lu Ping could secretly place Yin Xuanchu in the House of Gold without anyone knowing. That way, no one would find out.
However, Lu Ping was not willing to do that. He did not mind revealing the secret of the House of Gold to his good friend, but the key thing was that Yin Xuanchu was different from Luan Yu. Luan Yu had always been someone who stood aloof from worldly affairs. Even though the wood luan race's situation in the cultivation world was not much better than that of a mixed-blood human like Yin Xuanchu, Luan Yu did not have any thoughts of fighting for himself. He only wanted to live a peaceful and secluded life in the House of Gold.
Yin Xuanchu was different. He carried the blood feud of his parents on his back, and he had the ambition to excel. If Lu Ping asked him to live a secluded life in the House of Gold, putting aside whether Yin Xuanchu would be able to endure such a confinement, Lu Ping himself did not think that such a secluded life could make a cultivator stronger. If Yin Xuanchu wanted to take revenge in the future and establish himself in the cultivation world, he would need to be strong enough. In order to accumulate enough strength, he could not leave the cultivation world.
As such, the second path that Lu Ping prepared for Yin Xuanchu was the teleportation formation that led directly to the Central Plains from the Clear Stream Abode that had already been submerged by seawater.
However, the significance of this teleportation formation in the North Sea was probably even more important than the House of Gold that Lu Ping possessed. This was something that could cause a huge uproar in the North Sea. After all, the North Sea had been separated from the Central Plains for four thousand years. Ever since Fei Ling Sect was destroyed, the North Sea no longer had a super long-distance teleportation formation that was directly connected to the Central Plains. If the cultivators of the North Sea wanted to travel to the Central Plains, they would have to borrow the super long-distance teleportation formations of the East Sea's five major sects.
However, such a long-distance teleportation formation could not be built casually. It often required the cooperation of all the sects, and the location of the teleportation formation in the Central Plains had to be recognized and protected by the major sects. The various sects in the North Sea clearly did not have this ability.
The so-called ten major sects in the North Sea were only equivalent to ten medium-sized sects in the entire cultivation world. The only difference was that Xuan Ling Sect and Zhenling Sect were only considered the stronger ones among the medium-sized sects. The other six major sects, excluding Hai Yan Sect and Shui Yan Pavilion, were only the weakest of the medium-sized sects.
According to the practice of the world of practitioners, a large sect would need at least two late Dharma adepts to hold the fort, and it had to form a more benign cycle of Dharma adepts. To put it bluntly, there had to be elites to lead the sect in every generation, so that they could fill the gap left by the previous generation of Dharma adepts at any time and maintain the sect's position in the world of practitioners. Take Xuanling Sect for example. After Patriarch Dao Sheng's lifespan ran out and he passed away, the leader of the second generation, Feng Xutao, might not even be able to advance to the mid Dharma stage. If this happened in a large sect in the world of practitioners, it would mean the decline of the sect.
In the past, the only large sect in the North Sea that could be considered a large sect in the cultivation world was the Fei Ling Sect from four thousand years ago. It had three late Dharma adepts in charge and 18 Dharma adepts in the sect. It was a famous sect in the Central Plains, but it was a pity that it had turned to dust in the end.
Lu Ping did not know how this Laozu, who looked like a lone practitioner, had the ability to build a long-distance teleportation formation that led directly to the Central Plains, but Lu Ping knew that before he had enough ability, it was best not to reveal this teleportation formation in front of others.
Therefore, on Huang Li Island, Lu Ping did not hesitate to lie to his companions to forcibly break through the teleportation formation on Huan Yu Island and send Yin Xuanchu to the East Sea. In fact, his plan was to secretly send Yin Xuanchu to the Central Plains along the way. With Yin Xuanchu's ability and potential, Lu Ping believed that as long as his identity as a mixed-demon was not exposed and he did not die along the way, there would definitely be a place for him in the cultivation world in the future.
As for how to split up the companions who were escorting Yin Xuanchu along the way, this was not a problem. The reason why everyone was escorting Yin Xuanchu was because they had made up their minds to stop the cultivators from the various sects who were coming to capture Yin Xuanchu. When the time came, they would naturally have time to escape.
Sage Xuanshu was very dissatisfied with the task that the sect had given him. Ever since he knew that this task had fallen onto his head, his expression had not been good.
Honestly speaking, Sage Xuanshu loathed the demon race. In the past, he had also tried his best to stop Reverend Li Xuanyin from marrying Yin Fei. Once the other Laozu's learned of this, they had tried to interfere. Tian Xue Laozu had even pointed at Reverend Black Yin's nose and scolded him. The other Laozu's had also tried to persuade him with kind words, but Reverend Black Yin had already made up his mind to be with the demonic girl Ice Dragon. Besides, Celestial Phenomenon Laozu's attitude at that time was unclear, which was why Reverend Black Yin had given up and could only try his best to cover it up.
Unfortunately, in the end, the matter was exposed. Xuan Ling Sect's Dao Shi Laozu had practiced a divine ability that allowed him to see through the secrets of the demon race who had taken human form. When Reverend Black Yin and Yin Fei had gone out once, Dao Shi Laozu had accidentally seen through their tracks. At that time, it had been a few years after Jiang Xuanlin and Liu Tianling had worked together to kill Dao Kong Laozu. The relationship between the two sects had always been tense, which was why Dao Shi Laozu had made a prompt decision to kill Reverend Black Yin.
At that time, Li Xuanyin's level of cultivation had not reached his current level yet, and Yin Fei had only just reached the later stage of the Core Forging Realm. There was no way the two of them could be Dao Shi Laozu's opponent. Yin Fei had been heavily injured on the spot, and Li Xuanyin had managed to block Dao Shi Laozu's attack by exploding the Ice Dragon Pearl that Yin Fei had inherited, and only then had he managed to escape back to Zhenling.
Due to Yin Fei's status as a demon, Zhenling could only suffer in silence and could not stand up for her. Besides, due to Dao Kong Laozu's matter, after Zhenling fought a great battle against Xuan Ling Sect, Tian Kang Laozu was heavily injured, and Zhenling ordered the entire sect to rest and recuperate. They held themselves back and did not make a move. Reverend Black Yin was not a foolish person. He knew that it was not the time for revenge, and so he could only place all his heart and soul on raising his son, Yin Chu, who was born to him with Yin Fei.
It was not that there were no people in the sect who objected to their son's identity, but because Reverend Black Yin had just lost his wife at that time, and Reverend Black Yin was also very protective of his son, he saw every single person who got close to Yin Chu as someone who harbored ill intentions. Because of that, no one had the heart to bring up this matter again. Unexpectedly, decades later, Reverend Black Yin was still unable to extricate himself from his hatred. He had recklessly tried to assassinate Dao Shi Laozu, and in the end, he died. Xuan Ling Sect had even used Yin Chu's identity to make a big fuss about it in an attempt to suppress Zhenling.
Reverend Xuan Shu really wanted to shirk this task. Even though he was originally in charge of Zhenling's rules and discipline in the sect, this was an arduous and unrewarding task. This was not only because this incident was a compromise made by Zhenling due to external pressure. The disciples of the sect would not see it as a compromise, but as a concession. The disciples of the sect would not resent the sect, but would instead vent their anger on Reverend Xuan Shu, who was in charge of this mission to capture the disciples of the sect.
Furthermore, Yin Xuanchu was a genius cultivator second only to Lu Xuanping among the third generation disciples of the sect. He was being groomed as a future Dharma adept of Zhenling. This so-called 'cleaning up the sect' this time would not only damage Zhenling's own strength, but it would also offend a group of disciples who were on good terms with Yin Xuanchu, such as Lu Xuanping, Yao Yong, Du Feng, Ji Xuanxuan, Chen Lian, Zhong Jian, Ma Yu, and Shi Lingling. When these disciples grew up in the future, what would Reverend Xuan Shu do?
Reverend Xuan Shu, who was in a hurry, brought his proudest disciple, Reverend Xuan Xiang, his own nephew, Yuan Zhan, and more than ten so-called "supervisors" sent by various sects and clans of the North Sea to Tianling Mountain's teleportation portal. From there, they would directly go to Huang Li Island. That was the territory of Reverend Lu Xuanping, who had the highest achievements among the third generation disciples of the sect.
Although the third generation disciples had the highest achievements, it did not mean that Lu Ping's cultivation level was the highest among Zhenling's third generation disciples. After all, although there were no third generation disciples who had broken through to the late Core Forging stage, there were many who were stuck at the sixth stage, such as Reverend Xuan Shu's own disciple, Reverend Xuan Xiang.
This achievement referred to one's contribution to the sect. Just Huang Li Island alone had accumulated a lot of wealth for Zhenling. Reverend Xuan Shu's identity as an Alchemy Grandmaster, the Spirit Water Meridian Nourishing Pill that he produced allowed Zhenling to plunder a lot of resources from various sects in the North Sea. In addition, he also had the Blood Condensing Pill, the mysterious Minor Forging Spirit Pill, and even the Longevity Pill in the hands of Martial Uncle Tian Kang. If Reverend Xuan Shu was not a true Enlightened Master among Zhenling's late Core Forging stage cultivators, perhaps even he would not have known about these things. Moreover, he had Jiang Tianlin and Liu Tianling standing behind him.
No one knew Lu Ping's influence in Zhenling better than him. Back then, he believed that Huang Li Island should not be under the control of a third generation disciple like Lu Ping. He had once tried to take control of Huang Li Island through the hands of the demon race, or at least subconsciously, he had taken control of it.
However, his plan failed because Lu Ping's cultivation base had broken through to the mid Core Forging stage and he had killed five demon cultivators at the same level as him. Lu Xuanping's name had spread throughout the North Sea, but Reverend Xuan Shu had received various warnings, exhortations, and even reprimands from the sect. Reverend Xuansen, Reverend Enigma Flame, Reverend Qu Xuancheng, Reverend Liang Xuanfeng, and Reverend Guo Xuanshan. These prestigious late Core Forging stage cultivators had either tactfully or directly passed on their opinions that they did not want to see something like this happen again. Reverend Xuan Shu's teacher, Tianfan Laozu, summoned him to Qi Mei Palace and reprimanded him.
Even worse was Li Xuanyin. He had been following and monitoring Reverend Xuan Shu for three days and three nights. Although Reverend Xuan Shu knew that Li Xuanyin was monitoring him, he had no way of finding out where Reverend Xuan Shu was hiding. The feeling that someone could strike a fatal blow from behind at any moment still made Reverend Xuan Shu's hair stand on end. However, Reverend Xuan Shu did not understand. What did Reverend Xuan Shu receive from Lu Xuanping that made him stand up for Lu Ping?
In Daoist Master Xuan Shu's impression, after his wife passed away, he was one of the "Three Saints" of the sect who rarely interacted with others. Other than his biological son who was taught by him as a disciple, there was almost no one he cared about.
Thinking of his son, Reverend Xuan Shu suddenly understood. Yes, it was because of his son. Yin Xuanchu had been a loner since he was young and did not interact with others. However, he only had two good friends. One was a disciple of Reverend Xuan Huai, the Puppet Pavilion's Deputy Pavilion Master. Among the third generation disciples, he was a genius cultivator who was as famous as Yin Xuanchu, Ji Xuanxuan. The other was obviously Lu Xuanyin. Back then, Li Xuanyin was standing up for one of his son's only two good friends.
Reverend Xuan Shu cursed inwardly. However, he discovered that even though everyone had been standing on the teleportation array for a long time, the teleportation array was still not activated.
Reverend Xuan Shu's disciple, Xuan Xiang, walked down from the teleportation array to check. Then, he walked up to Reverend Xuan Shu and said strangely, "Teacher, the teleportation array's compass has disappeared for some reason."
Without waiting for Reverend Xuan Shu to speak, Yuan Zhan, who was at the side, said thoughtfully, "This is definitely intentional."
Reverend Xuan Shu suddenly smiled and said meaningfully, "I'm afraid this attack has just begun!"
