Lu Ping shook his head with a serious expression and said, "That shouldn't be the case. That teleportation array is extremely well hidden, and the entrance has already been destroyed by me. If they didn't intentionally search for it, they would absolutely not be able to discover its location. However, with so many demon race cultivators hiding here, they must be plotting something. Although we've discovered their tracks now, we can't go to that teleportation array. Damn it!"
Thinking up to here, Lu Ping couldn't help but curse again. Lu Ping originally wanted to send Yin Xuanchu to the Middle Earth through that teleportation array, but he didn't expect that there were actually over ten Core Forging stage demon cultivators hiding in the nearby sea. He didn't know what they were plotting, and one of them was an old acquaintance of Lu Ping. It was the late Core Forging stage Primordial Giant Crocodile, Ao Li, who had pursued Lu Ping in the Deep Sea Demon Region.
It was precisely this powerful demon cultivator who discovered the whereabouts of Lu Ping's group of three. With just a single strike, it allowed Lu Ping to once again witness the terror of a late Core Forging stage cultivator. It also allowed Yin Xuanchu and Ji Xuanxuan to understand the gap between them and a true late Core Forging stage expert cultivator.
Actually, Lu Ping had some guesses about the reason why the demon race was hiding here. Seeing Lu Ping in deep thought, Ji Xuanxuan couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Lu, have you thought of something?"
Lu Ping said seriously, "I think I should know why they're hiding here."
Seeing Ji Xuanxuan's questioning gaze, Lu Ping said, "There was originally a teleportation array that led to the Deep Sea Demon Region …"
Just as Lu Ping spoke up to here, Yin Xuanchu suddenly raised his head and looked towards Lu Ping. Lu Ping nodded and said, "I once saw Ao Yu return to the Deep Sea Demon Region through the teleportation array after meeting with Martial Uncle Xuan Yin here."
Yin Xuanchu suddenly interrupted Lu Ping and said, "How do you know that it leads to the Deep Sea Demon Region?"
Lu Ping hesitated for a moment, then said, "A few days ago, the sect issued an order to search for Ao Yu's traces in the North Sea. I wanted to avenge Martial Uncle Li, so I thought of this, so I took the risk to activate the Transmission Array. As a result, I arrived at the Deep Sea Demon Region. Afterwards, I was chased by the Demon Clan. In desperation, I destroyed the Transmission Array and hid in the Undersea Mountain Range. It was only until Da Gui advanced to the Core Forging Stage that he sent the traction array disk of the Single Person Transmission Array I set up in the Undersea Mountain Range back to Huang Li Island. Fortunately, I was able to return before the Demon Clan broke through the island's Protective Array."
Lu Ping looked at Yin Xuanchu's slightly excited expression and continued, "I suspect that the Demon Clan is taking advantage of the confrontation between Zhenling and Xuan Ling Sect. Our sect's Tian Xue Laozu and Xuan Ling Sect's Dao Yan Laozu aren't on Huan Yu Island to restore the Transmission Array here. This way, the Demon Clan will have another secret channel to launch attacks on the various sects in the North Sea. After all, the reason why we wanted to enter the Eastern Sea through the Transmission Array on Huan Yu Island was because these two Laozu weren't on Huan Yu Island. "
At this moment, Lu Ping and Ji Xuanxuan heard Yin Xuanchu say in a low voice, "This Transmission Array was originally secretly constructed by Mother for the sake of meeting Father. Father knew of the existence of this Transmission Array, but Mother never told Father about it. Father also never had the idea of using this Transmission Array. Mother never betrayed the Demon Clan because of Father, and Father never betrayed the Human Clan because of Mother."
Ji Xuanxuan patted Yin Xuanchu's shoulder and didn't say anything else. As the three of them spoke, the hazy silhouette of Huan Yu Island had already appeared on the surface of the sea. Lu Ping let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I didn't think that we would still have to charge into Huan Yu Island. I only hope that there won't be any slip-ups this time."
Ji Xuanxuan and Yin Xuanchu both knew that the secret Transmission Array discovered by Lu Ping just so happened to be occupied by a group of Demon Clan. Although the secret of the Transmission Array wasn't exposed, Yin Xuanchu couldn't use the Transmission Array to head to the Midlands. He could only prepare for the worst and place all his hopes on the Transmission Array that led to the Eastern Sea from Huan Yu Island.
However, just as the three of them were immersed in their thoughts, a long howl suddenly came from the surface of the sea behind them. Their expressions changed, and when they turned around to look, a green streak of light had already streaked across the sky. Before the howl dissipated, the streak of light had already landed in front of the three of them.
Ji Xuanxuan and Yin Xuanchu revealed vigilant expressions, but Lu Ping's expression didn't change. He bowed first and said, "Disciple greets Martial Uncle Xuanshu."
Ji Xuanxuan also bowed. Yin Xuanchu's expression fluctuated, but in the end, he still bowed towards Spiritual Master Xuanshu.
Spiritual Master Xuanshu glanced at Yin Xuanchu indifferently and said coldly, "When your father and mother got married back then, I already expected this outcome. However, I didn't think that I would be the one to carry out this matter today. Don't hold any resentment towards the sect. Our sect is also forced to do this."
Yin Xuanchu clenched his fists tightly. His lowered head hid the expression on his face. Ji Xuanxuan hesitated for a moment, but he still took a small step in front of Yin Xuanchu, blocking half of Yin Xuanchu's body. He bowed deeply and said, "Martial Uncle, Junior Brother Xuanchu is the only descendant of Martial Uncle Xuanyin. There are no outsiders here, so please let Junior Brother Xuanchu go."
When Spiritual Master Xuanshu saw Ji Xuanxuan like this, although his expression was indifferent, his eyes emitted a deep light. In the end, he sighed and said, "It's impossible to let him go. I, Xuanshu, am in charge of the sect's rules, and I've never shown any mercy. However, sigh, so be it. Today, I'll make the decision. As long as you allow me to personally dissolve your golden core and shatter your core space, I'll spare your life. However, from today onwards, you'll have to spend the rest of your life under house arrest on Tianling Mountain. In this way, the senior and junior brothers who were implicated by you will also receive a lighter punishment in the sect."
Ji Xuanxuan said anxiously, "Martial Uncle, how can this be? Wouldn't shattering the core space be a fate worse than death for us cultivators?"
Spiritual Master Xuanshu didn't comment on Ji Xuanxuan's pleas. He only looked at Yin Xuanchu and said, "What do you think?"
Yin Xuanchu's fists within his sleeves clenched even tighter, and a trace of green faintly appeared on his white knuckles. In the end, Yin Xuanchu seemed to have made some sort of decision. His tensed body suddenly relaxed, and he said bitterly, "I'm willing …"
"Martial Uncle Xuanshu!"
Lu Ping suddenly took a step forward and interrupted Yin Xuanchu's words. He said, "Disciple has been comprehending swordsmanship in recent years and has gained some insights. Not long ago, I was lucky enough to kill a late-stage Core Forging Demon Race cultivator. I've always heard that Martial Uncle's magic power is boundless, and that you're the number one person in our sect's second generation disciples below the 'Three Truths and Four Spirits'. Disciple has overestimated his own abilities, and would like to ask Martial Uncle for advice on swordsmanship. I hope that Martial Uncle can grant my wish."
Ji Xuanxuan stared at Lu Ping's back dumbfoundedly. Yin Xuanchu suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Spiritual Master Xuanshu also seemed to have been stirred up by Lu Ping's presumptuous words. He looked at Lu Ping and asked in amusement and curiosity, "What did you say? This is simply preposterous! "
Buzz!
The Golden Scale Sword hovered above Lu Ping's head and pointed at Spiritual Master Xuanshu from afar. He performed a sword salute of a junior and used his actions to once again verify what he had just said.
Spiritual Master Xuanshu suddenly became furious, but he forcibly suppressed his anger. Instead, he laughed and said, "Good, good, good. As expected of Senior Sister Liu Tianling's good disciple. You're just as lawless as you are. Don't think that you can be complacent just because you defeated a late-stage Core Forging Demon Race cultivator. That late-stage Core Forging Demon Race cultivator is just an existence at the bottom. Didn't you want to spar with the Old Man? The Old Man will fulfill your wish today. I'll let you see the true difference between late-stage Core Forging Demon Race and mid-stage Core Forging Demon Race. I'll also let you understand that the difference in strength between late-stage Core Forging Demon Race and mid-stage Core Forging Demon Race will be even greater due to the difference in the quality of the second type of Spirit Treasure."
Yin Xuanchu suddenly said, "Senior Brother Lu, don't fight with Martial Uncle Xuanshu. I'll go back with him."
What answered Yin Xuanchu was a sky-shaking sword cry from the Golden Scale Sword above Lu Ping's head. Ji Xuanxuan grabbed Yin Xuanchu and fled in the direction of Universe Island with all his might. At the same time, he said, "Let's go. Don't waste the opportunity that Senior Brother Lu has earned for you. How can you be content if you don't give it a try?"
Yin Xuanchu allowed Ji Xuanxuan to pull him away. When he turned his head, he only saw the golden brilliance that filled the sky forming a huge vortex in the sky. The sword light within the vortex formed a huge sword formation in an orderly manner, covering half of the sky behind Yin Xuanchu. At the same time, it also blocked Spiritual Master Xuanshu's path of pursuit. Yin Xuanchu seemed to see Lu Ping's unwavering determination from his back.
Lu Ping's first move was the limit of his current swordsmanship. The rotating sword formation, with the Golden Scale Sword at the center, surged towards Spiritual Master Xuanshu.
Spiritual Master Xuanshu stood with his hands behind his back. He looked at the orderly sword formation that Lu Ping had mastered pressing towards him from all directions. Spiritual Master Xuanshu, who was forcibly suppressing his rage, couldn't help but have a trace of solemnity in his eyes.
Lu Ping, a third-generation disciple of Zhenling who had just advanced to the fifth layer of the Core Forging Realm. Spiritual Master Xuanshu, a veteran late stage Core Forging Realm expert of Zhenling who was at the peak of the eighth layer of the Core Forging Realm.
In the distance, where the sea and the sky met, a white mark suddenly appeared. The white mark quickly rushed towards the two sides of the battle. When it got close, it was Spiritual Master Xu Weihong of Xuan Ling Sect who had rushed over with Spiritual Master Xuanshu.
Seeing that the sword light that filled the sky actually included him, Xu Weihong was startled. Then, a look of joy appeared on his face. If Lu Xuanping was here, then Yin Xuanchu shouldn't be far away. The current situation was obviously because of Yin Xuanchu. This Lu Xuanping actually didn't hesitate to challenge a famous cultivator among the second-generation disciples of Zhenling!
Xu Weihong shouted, "Lu Xuanping, how dare you! You actually dare to attack your own sect's Senior!"
Xu Weihong deliberately roared when he spoke. His voice spread in all directions, as if he wanted to let all the people of the North Sea know about this news.
Xu Weihong's eyes turned and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Martial Uncle Xuanshu, I'll temporarily block your sect's Junior Brother Lu Xuanping. You first go after that vile spawn Yin Xuanchu and clean up the sect."
"Scram!"
"Scram!" What answered him was Lu Ping and Spiritual Master Xuanshu's angry shouts. A powerful divine sense attack carried a huge pressure and rushed towards Xu Weihong. Xu Weihong's face suddenly turned deathly pale. Deng deng deng deng, he stepped on the small boat under his feet and took a few steps back. The silver boat seemed to have encountered a hurricane on the sea and was pushed back more than a hundred feet in an instant.
