Lu Ping looked at Jiang Tianlin Laozu, who was using all his strength to refine the space treasure in his hand. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't think that even a Dharma cultivator would cause such a big commotion. Now, he had to hide from a Dharma cultivator.
At this moment, Lu Ping no longer dared to fly towards Ying He's cave-dwelling. When he looked back, he saw Ancestor Chang He's hands tearing the void in front of him and disappearing into a space door.
Lu Ping's heart skipped a beat. He activated all the true essence in his body and injected it into the boat under his feet. Even with the Cloud Light Five-Colored Clothes, the energy that exploded from the boat still broke through the Cloud Light Five-Colored Clothes and left a dazzling trail of light in the sky.
Just as Lu Ping flew away, the space around him suddenly twisted. The clouds that Lu Ping used to hide his body suddenly disappeared into the void vortex.
Patriarch Chang He appeared in mid-air a few hundred feet away from the vortex. Lu Ping, who seemed to be trying his best to escape, sneered coldly. His feet flickered continuously, and each flash brought him a few hundred feet away. After five flashes, he was already three to four miles away from Lu Ping. Now, he was only a few thousand feet away from Lu Ping.
Because Lu Ping was steering the ship with all his might, his True Essence was pouring out like a torrential flood, staining the entire ship's surface with a bluish-purple hue. The scattered bluish-purple spirit lights filled the sky as the ship streaked across, forming a thick trail of light. Lu Ping no longer cared about hiding his tracks; all he could do was flee with all his might.
Just at this moment, two long roars came from behind River Laozu. River Laozu's expression changed. The light under his feet flashed again, and the distance between him and Lu Ping closed again.
At this moment, the two rays of light behind River Laozu suddenly flanked Lu Ping from the left and right.
"Haha! Which sect is this Fellow Daoist from? He actually silently entered my Skypiercing Mountain Range and didn't even inform us before leaving. If news of this were to spread, wouldn't all the cultivators in the world laugh at our three sects for not providing good hospitality!?"
"Brother Wuji from Ying Shan Sect is right. My Dao Universe Sect has already prepared a banquet to welcome you. Since you don't want to be a guest at Brother Long River's Yinghe Sect, you can come to my Dao Universe Sect."
Lu Ping's face was full of bitterness, while River Laozu was dissatisfied.
As the two Laozu were speaking, they moved to flank Han Shuo. At the same time, River Laozu, who was behind Lu Ping, suddenly sped up to close the distance between him and Lu Ping.
"Humph! Brother Wuji, Brother Yushang, I invited you two here. It is only natural that I owe you a favor. However, this fellow actually relied on his cultivation base to behave atrociously within the territory of my Yinghe Sect. He even stole our sect's treasure. I hope you two can help me get my treasure back. My Yinghe Sect will definitely reward you handsomely."
River Laozu's sudden words caused the two Laozu's to feel embarrassed to say anything more. At any rate, their three sects had sworn an oath to help each other.
However, these people were old and shrewd. They simply did not care about their pride. What River Laozu said earlier caused the two Laozu's to let their imaginations run wild.
"Brother Long River, what treasure did this fellow steal from your sect? For you to actually need to hand over the talisman of the Three Sects Alliance, Brother Yushang and I were shocked."
Ying Shan Sect's Wuji Laozu's eyes darted around. He once again asked about the item in Jiang Tianlin's possession. As for River Laozu's words, the two of them were skeptical.
River Laozu said calmly, "It is just a bronze mirror that our sect left behind. However, this involves our sect's privacy. Forgive me, Old Man, for not being able to say more."
River Laozu's attitude caused Wuji Laozu's expression to change. Just as he was about to explode, Dao Universe Sect's Yu Shang Laozu stepped forward to smooth things over. "You two, now is not the time to bicker. If I am not wrong, the person who escaped in front of us should only be a late Core Forging adept. Yet, he was able to last so long against us. Could it be that the two of you are not done playing with him?"
"Furthermore, I can see that the other cultivator in front of the flying boat is also a Dharma adept. However, it is clear that he is at a critical juncture in refining the treasure that he stole from the Ying He Sect. If the three of us do not hurry and surround the two of them, once that cultivator succeeds in refining the treasure, it will be difficult for us to take back the treasure."
Yu Shang Laozu's words clearly gave the two of them a way out. The three streaks of light immediately advanced together, gradually forming a pincer attack on the fleeing Lu Ping.
However, just as the three of them began to surround him, the boat beneath Lu Ping's feet suddenly shone with a green light. After the green light appeared, it rapidly suppressed the bluish-purple light of the essential core to a thin line, allowing it to dominate the boat.
The body of the boat shook, and its speed suddenly increased by several times. Under the furious gazes of Changhe Laozu and the incredulous gazes of the other two, the boat managed to break through the encirclement of the three Dharma adepts.
Lu Ping let out a long sigh of relief. This was the first time he had faced the terror of a Dharma adept. If he had been just a little bit more, Lu Ping and the others would have been surrounded by the three Dharma adepts. If that had happened, even if Jiang Tianlin Laozu had been able to successfully break through, Lu Ping himself would not have been able to escape.
Jiang Tianlin Laozu, who was standing at the bow of the boat, laughed softly and said, "This time, we have obtained a good treasure."
Just now, at the last moment, Jiang Tianlin Laozu had refined the copper mirror in his hand and used his vast essential core to control the boat in an instant. This had allowed Lu Ping to escape from the encirclement of the Dharma adepts.
However, the boat was ultimately a flying treasure that Lu Ping had refined, and it was not compatible with the techniques that Jiang Tianlin Laozu practiced. Just now, the three Dharma adepts had not expected that Jiang Tianlin Laozu would be able to increase the speed of the boat in an instant. However, after escaping from the encirclement, the boat's speed had decreased once again.
Lu Ping knew that the main reason for this was still him. If it was just Jiang Tianlin Laozu alone, the three of them would definitely not be able to catch up to him. However, now that Jiang Tianlin Laozu still had to bring Lu Ping out of danger, he seemed to be unable to do so.
Lu Ping knew that this was not the way to go on. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Jiang Tianlin Laozu's voice. "I will first block the three of them. You escape first. After that, the three of them will naturally not be able to stop me."
Lu Ping knew that this was his only chance of survival. If he stayed, he would instead become a burden to Laozu. At his current level, he clearly did not have the right to interfere in a battle between Dharma adepts, much less a battle between four Dharma adepts.
Jiang Tianlin Laozu leapt up from the boat and pounced towards the three Dharma adepts behind Lu Ping like a large bird.
In the instant that Jiang Tianlin Laozu leapt up, Lu Ping's eyes could clearly see that on Jiang Tianlin Laozu's face, there was suddenly an additional mask that was as dry as tree bark. It was obvious that Jiang Tianlin Laozu did not want to reveal his identity.
Seeing this, Lu Ping felt reassured. Jiang Tianlin Laozu's actions showed that he was extremely confident that he would be able to escape unscathed from being surrounded by the three of them.
This might sound a little unbelievable, but Lu Ping was very sure of it. This was despite the fact that among the three Dharma adepts, Changhe Laozu of the Ying He Sect had already reached the peak of the early Dharma stage.
Jiang Tianlin Laozu let out a long howl as he waved his sleeves to his sides. The Qi in the air quickly condensed into two huge claws that seemed to have broken through the void. They struck towards Wuji Laozu and Yu Shang Laozu, who had once again tried to flank them from both sides.
The two Patriarchs were infuriated. It was one thing for the other party to fight one against three, but to think that he would be able to stop the two of them with just one move was too arrogant and conceited.
The two of them used all their strength to teach Jiang Tianlin Laozu a lesson. However, just as the two claws whistled towards their heads, Wuji Laozu and Yu Shang Laozu seemed to have realized something, and their expressions changed drastically. It was a good thing that the two of them had used all their strength to make Jiang Tianlin Laozu suffer. There was only a sound of thunder in the sky, and the two claws formed from Qi immediately shattered. However, even with the two Laozu's combined forces, their path was actually blocked by the person in front of them with just one move!
However, this was not the end. Just as Jiang Tianlin Laozu moved to block the two Dharma adepts, Long River Laozu, who was in the middle, took this opportunity to rush forward and directly strike towards Jiang Tianlin Laozu's chest.
If this strike landed, Long River Laozu was confident that if the person in front of him did not die, he would be seriously injured. At that time, the three of them might even be able to kill this person completely.
Thinking about the mirror that Jiang Tianlin Laozu had taken from the pool, Long River Laozu's blood surged. It was a good thing that Wuji and Yu Shang did not know about this. Otherwise, not only would the two of them not have tried their best, they might even cause trouble.
Once he had this mirror, Long River Laozu was confident that he would have a higher chance of advancing to the mid Dharma stage. Even if Long River Laozu was still at the early Dharma stage, with the power of this stage, Long River Laozu was confident that he would be able to suppress Wuji and Yu Shang.
When he thought of this, Long River Laozu's eyes grew even more fervent, and the force behind his strike increased by a few notches.
Poof! Long River Laozu felt as though his palm had struck something. However, the scene of his bones breaking and blood spurting out did not appear as he had imagined. When he looked up, he saw a middle-aged cultivator wearing a mask made out of withered tree bark. He had unknowingly retracted his palm and was actually able to take on Long River Laozu's full-powered strike.
There was a playful look on the middle-aged cultivator's face. Knowing that things were not looking good, Long River Laozu wanted to retreat. Unexpectedly, he tightened his grip. He was still in the position of taking on the middle-aged cultivator's palm. His palm was seemingly glued to the middle-aged cultivator's palm.
Two shocked cries rang out at the same time. "Treasured Mirror of Emptiness!"
Long River Laozu raised his head and saw that a copper mirror, shining with spiritual light, had unknowingly hovered above the middle-aged cultivator's head. Seeing that, Long River Laozu's face instantly turned pale.
