Tian Qin Laozu and Lu Ping observed for a moment and found that the nine people had a tacit understanding. If Tian Qin Laozu launched a sneak attack, even if he could seriously injure one or two of them, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed. Once the Lu family's Dharma Phase cultivators were attracted, it would be even more difficult for Tian Qin Laozu to escape unscathed.
Lu Ping said helplessly, "Martial Uncle, I'm afraid we don't have a chance. How about we go somewhere else first?"
Tian Qin Laozu whispered with a smile, "Don't worry, the show is about to begin."
Lu Ping looked around suspiciously but found nothing. This place was located in the center of the Fallen Archipelago, the concentration of the poisonous fog was much higher than the periphery. Lu Ping's Divine Sense only dared to wander a few hundred feet around him. It was difficult to find anything unless his cultivation had reached the Dharma Phase.
While Lu Ping was carefully searching around the valley, a loud rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the valley. Even the ground began to tremble from the loud rumbling sound.
The Lu family cultivators reacted quickly and immediately formed a Dao Soldier Formation. They looked at the entrance of the valley with bright eyes.
However, what made the Lu family cultivators' expressions change was that it was not cultivators who rushed in from outside the valley, but a large group of poisonous beasts. These poisonous beasts seemed to be stimulated by something. After seeing the Lu family cultivators, they immediately rushed towards the nine Lu family cultivators like crazy.
Light flashed beneath the feet of the nine Lu Family cultivators as they attempted to fly up into the sky. However, the various poisonous beasts with blood-red eyes used the cliffs and rocks on both sides of the valley to climb up. Then, they quickly turned around and pounced on the Lu Family cultivators.
However, before these poisonous beasts could even reach the Lu Clan cultivators, they had already been turned into minced meat by the nine cultivators. However, after going berserk, these unintelligent poisonous beasts lost all fear and only knew how to charge at the human cultivators one after another.
The Lu Family cultivators did their best to fly up into the sky to avoid the onslaught of the poisonous beasts on the ground. However, just as they were about to make contact with the poisonous beasts beneath them, several beams of light suddenly descended from above them. Accompanied by a world-shaking roar, the beams of light forced the Lu Family cultivators back down into the valley.
Lu Ping asked Tian Qin Laozu, "So someone is playing tricks?"
The corners of the Celestial Zither Ancestor's lips curled into a sneer. "Do you really think that these mindless poisonous beasts will gather together and find this valley to attack?"
Just as the hundreds of ferocious poisonous beasts were slaughtered by the nine Lu Clan cultivators, a group of Water Crystal Palace cultivators appeared on the other side of the cliff where Lu Ping was lying in ambush. At the spot where the Lu Clan cultivators were forced to stop flying, they started attacking the Lu Clan cultivators in the valley from a high vantage point.
Naturally, the Lu Family cultivators had long since guessed that there was something fishy about the arrival of the poisonous beasts. Thus, they were already prepared for a sneak attack. However, the battle against the poisonous beasts had exhausted too much of the Lu Family cultivators' primary energy. Additionally, the cultivators from Water Crystal Palace had also come prepared. Thus, they quickly suppressed the Lu Family cultivators within the valley and gained the upper hand.
"The Crystal Palace is a famous sect in the cultivation world. Today, you attacked my Lu family cultivators for no reason. Are you not afraid of provoking the Central and Overseas cultivation world? Do you really think my Lu family is easy to mess with? "
The one who spoke was the leader of the late Core Forging Realm cultivators, Lu Runjian.
"Haha, how hilarious. Since when has your Lu Clan been able to represent the cultivation world of the Central Plains? If this was said by a cultivator from the Yuwen family, the Crystal Palace might consider it. But who do you think you are? A family that is not even a large sect. Just because you know a few alchemy skills, you even dared to attack and kill the alchemy master of the Crystal Palace. Now you even dare to enter the secret area of the overseas cultivation world to collect treasures. Do you really think that the Crystal Palace is made of mud? "
The leader of the Crystal Palace cultivators who besieged the Lu family cultivators on the cliff finally explained the reason why the Crystal Palace attacked the Lu family.
Lu Runjian's face immediately darkened. He said coldly, "Your Sect's Peng Shiyuan was not killed by the Lu family cultivators. He died in the North Sea. Our Lu family has always been in the Central Cultivation world. His death should be more suspicious of the sects in the North Sea. You dare to attack our Lu family cultivators unscrupulously. Although the Crystal Palace is powerful, we are not afraid. We will fight you to the end."
Beside Lu Ping, Tianqin Laozu snorted coldly and said, "The Lu family put the blame on the sects in the North Sea for the death of the Crystal Palace cultivators. Now that Xuan Ling Sect and the Crystal Palace are in a heated battle, the most likely person to kill the Crystal Palace cultivators in the North Sea is me, Zhenling."
Although Lu Ping knew that Lu Runjian's words might be to absolve the Lu family and not to put the blame on the sects in the North Sea, if the Crystal Palace really believed Lu Runjian's words, then the next sect that the Crystal Palace would deal with would be Zhenling. Naturally, Lu Ping was also very dissatisfied with Lu Runjian's words. Not to mention that Peng Shiyuan was originally killed by Lu Ping and Yin Xuanchu.
The Crystal Palace cultivator laughed strangely and scolded, "Since your Lu family is in the Middle Earth, how do you know that Junior Brother Peng Shiyuan has fallen? How do you know that he died in the North Sea? Aren't you a thief crying thief? At first, the Crystal Palace was only suspicious, but now we are certain. Since you dare to kill the alchemy master of the Crystal Palace, even the great sects in the Middle Earth can't protect your Lu family! "
After saying that, the cultivators from Water Crystal Palace suddenly leapt down from the cliff. They charged towards the cultivators from the Lu Family, who had been suppressed by the cultivators from Water Crystal Palace to the point where they were incapable of fighting back. In the blink of an eye, one of the wounded cultivators from the Lu Family fell to the cultivators from Water Crystal Palace.
The formation formed by the nine Lu family cultivators immediately collapsed because of the death of one of them. The eight cultivators fought on their own and were soon surrounded by the Crystal Palace cultivators.
Another wretched cry rang out. Another Lu Clan cultivator with a cultivation base of level 7 Core Forging was killed by a cultivator from Water Crystal Palace.
Lu Runjian watched as his disciples were wounded and killed by the cultivators from the Crystal Palace, one after another. His eyes had long since turned blood-red. Bellowing furiously, Lu Runjian did his best to repel the cultivators from the Crystal Palace who were entangled with him. He wanted to save the disciples beside him. However, even more of the cultivators from the Crystal Palace joined forces to besiege him.
Lu Ping and Lyra Laozu were lying in ambush on the other side of the cliff. Watching the battle in the valley, Lu Ping's expression became more and more serious.
The Lu Family cultivators were fighting against the cultivators from Water Crystal Palace. In a one-on-one fight between cultivators with the same cultivation base, the Lu Family cultivators were clearly no match for the cultivators from Water Crystal Palace. Part of the reason for that was due to the fact that the Lu Family was an alchemy family. Killing enemies was not their forte. However, the more important reason was that the cultivators from Water Crystal Palace were much stronger compared to cultivators on the same level as them.
This was the foundation of a large sect. The Crystal Palace had dominated the seas for tens of thousands of years. Even in the Central Plains, they had an illustrious reputation. It was not an undeserved reputation.
However, this was not the only thing that shocked Lu Ping. Lu Ping had seen the late and peak Core Forging stage cultivators of Zhenling, Qu Xuancheng, Guo Xuanshan, and Liang Xuanfeng. Compared to the ten late Core Forging stage cultivators who were fighting the Lu family cultivators in the valley, almost every one of them was no weaker than Qu Xuancheng and Guo Xuancheng. They were only slightly weaker than Liang Xuanfeng.
Qu, Guo, and Liang could be said to be the best among the late Core Forging stage cultivators of Zhenling. They represented the highest combat power among the late Core Forging stage cultivators of Zhenling. And now, there were eight or nine such cultivators in the Crystal Palace.
How many cultivators were there in the Crystal Palace, and how many of them were late Core Forging stage cultivators? There were definitely more than eight or nine late Core Forging stage cultivators in the Crystal Palace. Moreover, among the late Core Forging stage cultivators of the Crystal Palace, these cultivators were definitely not the strongest.
Previously, Lu Ping's understanding of the gap between Zhenling and other large sects was that the large sects and even the large sects had far more Dharma Adept Laozu and Core Forging stage cultivators than Zhenling. He never realized that these sects had so much heritage and resources to support such a huge consumption. How could they not improve the quality of the cultivators in the sects?
This was the most fundamental reason why a sect could maintain its prosperity and continuous inheritance.
On the other side, Liao Runjia's situation was much better than Lu Runjian's. Liao Runjia did not fight back with all his strength when the Crystal Palace cultivators rushed forward. Instead, he firmly guarded the two Lu Family cultivators beside him so that they would not be separated by the Crystal Palace cultivators. Then, at the moment when the Lu Family cultivators were in danger, Liao Runjia suddenly threw three fiery-red pills at the Crystal Palace cultivators in front of him. Then, he ordered the two Lu Family cultivators beside him to protect him from the encirclement of the other Crystal Palace cultivators. Liao Runjia only focused on dealing with the Crystal Palace cultivator in front of him, whose cultivation level was similar to his.
After the three fiery-red pills were thrown out, they quickly burst into three crimson flames. The three flames formed a triangular formation and moved towards the Crystal Palace cultivator who was fighting Liao Runjia.
Intentional Battle Pill!
Moreover, it was a high-grade Intentional Battle Pill that connected a type of flame magic power into the pill. If these three Intentional Battle Pills were made by Liao Runjia, then Liao Runjia's alchemy skills were probably only one step away from becoming an alchemy grandmaster.
Lu Ping and Tian Qin Laozu's eyes were very sharp. They could see through Liao Runjia's cultivation level at a glance.
Although the Intentional Battle Pill could refine a type of magic power or secret technique of an alchemy master into a pill, when the magic power in the Intentional Battle Pill was activated by the cultivator, its power would be greatly reduced because it was no longer controlled by the cultivator's spiritual sense. It was only about half of the original magic power.
It was like a talisman treasure. The talisman treasure made by a Core Forging Stage cultivator could only be given to a Blood Condensation Stage disciple to save his life. For a Core Forging Stage cultivator, the talisman treasure was extremely useless. This also caused the value of the Intentional Battle Pill to be greatly reduced. It was even in danger of being lost in the alchemy world.
Even Lu Ping had never tried refining a magic power into an Intentional Battle Pill. Just as Lu Ping was carefully observing the three flames that rushed towards the Crystal Palace cultivator with Liao Runjia, two golden rays of light suddenly appeared in the sky outside the valley.
"Sound transmission sword, not good!"
Tian Qin Laozu's voice sounded in Lu Ping's ears. When Lu Ping turned around, Tian Qin Laozu was no longer beside him.
