After the incident with Sang Yu, Lu Qin-er and Lu Taohua were no longer in the mood to continue shopping. They followed Lu Ping to find a clean inn to stay in.
However, there were no spirit veins in this small town, and the Spirit Qi in the air was thin. Moreover, there were thousands of practitioners of different levels in the town, so there was no room for people to train. Lu Qin-er and Lu Taohua informed Lu Ping of their plans and returned to the House of Gold.
The fact that the practitioners of the Spirit Beast Taming Sect could see through Lu Qin-er's real body with the Demon Transformation Bracelet reminded Lu Ping that the Demon Transformation Bracelet belonged to the Spirit Beast Taming Sect, and Sang Yu had only noticed the shrunken Demon Transformation Bracelet on Lu Qin-er and Lu Taohua before noticing that they were demons. However, since Sang Yu could see through Lu Qin-er's identity, it was hard to say that other practitioners did not have secret techniques like the Spirit Beast Taming Sect's "Jasper Spiritual Pupils".
In fact, Lu Ping's own "Three Pure Eyes" was not inferior to the "Jasper Spiritual Pupils", but both were focused on different things.
Fortunately, Ancestor Long Huai had placed a seal on Lu Taohua all those years ago, and it was able to conceal her identity. Unless she encountered a cultivator that was even more formidable than Ancestor Long Huai, otherwise, even the Spirit Beast Sect's Jadeite Spirit Eyes would be useless against her.
However, Lu Ping's request for Lu Taohua to wear the Demon Transformation Bracelet was not completely useless. Although the Longhuai Ancestor had hidden her identity, it could not change the fact that she was a demon. Without the Demon Transformation Bracelet, the secret that Lu Taohua was not a human practitioner would be exposed.
At least if she was seen as a demon, she would be protected by Lu Ping's status as a spiritual pet. If her identity as a demon was exposed, even a Dharma adept would not be able to protect her.
Early the next morning, the entire little town was in an uproar. Today, the 18 minor forces of Hebei's cultivation world would enter Richjade Swamp to encircle and annihilate Mara. Cultivators from all over gathered in the little town, ready to follow behind the 25 forces.
As soon as Lu Ping walked out of the inn, the void in front of him trembled. Under the horrified gazes of the surrounding cultivators, the void rippled like water, and from the rippling void, a sound-transmitting sword suddenly stretched out.
Teleportation was a technique used by Dharma adepts!
Because of yesterday's events, there were many people in the town who had been waiting for Lu Ping. Seeing Lu Ping nonchalantly accept the Sound Transmission Sword, Lu Ping said something to the Sound Transmission Sword. Then, he pushed the Sound Transmission Sword into the Spatial Ripples and disappeared. Immediately after, the turbulent Spatial Ripples calmed down.
Luckily, Zhou Donghuang had not been blinded by greed yesterday and had not tried to snatch the treasures from him and the two girls. This person indeed had a Dharma adept backing him up. However, where had the girls who had been following him gone?
After Lu Ping recovered the Sound Transmission Sword that Guo Tianshan and Laozu had sent, his face was filled with worry. From the information that Guo Tianshan and Laozu had sent, it seemed that what Sang Yu had said yesterday was true. Furthermore, the situation was more complicated than Lu Ping had imagined.
There was no lack of Dharma adepts among the cultivators who had heard the news. Under such circumstances, just Guo Tianshan, Liang Tianfeng, and Qu Tiancheng, the three early Dharma adepts, would Laozu be able to cause much trouble? If these three Laozu were to be exposed, there was a possibility that they would die.
"Have you heard? This time, under the Spiritual Martial Sect's initiative, eighteen small and medium-sized sects in Hebei have come to encircle and annihilate Mo Luo. There are twenty-five Dharma adepts, led by a late Dharma adept of the Spiritual Martial Sect into the Yingyu Swamp. "
"That's not all. This time, besides the 25 Laozu, each sect has also sent a total of 81 late Core Forging adepts. It is said that these adepts are all at least at the eighth level of the Core Forging stage and have the potential to become Dharma adepts in their respective sects. This time, the sects in Hebei have put in a lot of effort to surround and kill Mara."
"Humph! There are various cultivators hiding within this little town. It is not just the loose cultivators from the Hebei region. There is also a considerable number of cultivators from the Henan region, the flatlands downstream and the upper reaches of the Henan region. Who knows how many more of them are hiding around this little town? This siege on Mo Luo will surely be a bloodbath. I wonder how many people will survive?"
…
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding cultivators, Lu Ping extended his divine will outwards. Indeed, he found that there were far more cultivators in this small town than he had imagined.
Lu Ping raised his eyebrows and looked up towards the northern sky. Immediately, he heard a loud shout from a cultivator in the distance, "They're here, the cultivators of the 18 sects are here!"
The cultivators in the small town looked into the distance and saw 25 streaks of rainbow light streak across the sky, leaving long shadows in the sky. In an instant, they flew over the small town and flew towards the Yingyu Swamp.
Indeed, there were 25 Dharma adepts!
An overwhelming pressure swept over from afar, and the cultivators who had gathered in the small town let out a roar like a tsunami. Without waiting for these cultivators to react, the streaks of light had already flown over the small town, flying in the direction of the Yingyu Swamp. For most cultivators, this was the only time in their lives that they would experience such a grand scene.
Seeing the 25 streaks of Dharma adepts disappear into the horizon, many streaks of streaks of light shot up from the small town and the vast plains around it, chasing after the 25 Laozu at high speed.
However, just as these streaks of light disappeared, the cultivators in the small town suddenly exclaimed, "Someone else is coming! I'm afraid they are the 81 late Core Forging stage cultivators from the 18 sects!"
When the crowd looked up, they saw more than 10 streaks of five-colored streaks of light whistling through the sky. Although these streaks of light were not as vast as the previous streaks of seven-colored streaks of light, there were more of them. Together, they looked like countless meteors streaking across the sky.
When the streaks of light flew over the small town and headed towards the Yingyu Swamp, the cultivators in the small town and the surrounding area were completely stirred. Hundreds of streaks of light shot up into the sky in an instant, following the streaks of light from before as they flew towards the Yingyu Swamp. Then, an endless stream of streaks of light rose up from the surroundings, forming a colorful curtain of light that stretched all the way to the horizon.
Even though Lu Ping was considered to be experienced and knowledgeable among cultivators of the same level, when he saw the huge scene of cultivators flying up one after another, he felt his scalp go numb.
The cultivators who entered the Yingyu Swamp first might face greater danger, but there was no doubt that they would have more opportunities and gains. Those who dared to follow the cultivators from the various sects in Hebei into the Yingyu Swamp were naturally cultivators who had some confidence in their own strength. Among the thousands of cultivators, not a single one was below the Core Forging stage. In fact, there were very few early Core Forging stage cultivators.
Lu Ping was not in a hurry to enter the swamp. As he turned to leave, he heard a cultivator next to him whispering, "Strange, didn't they say that there were 81 late Core Forging stage cultivators from the 18 sects? Why were there only 80 streaks of light just now?"
Lu Ping smiled and a streak of light shot up into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye. However, there were still streaks of light rising up from the small town as they headed towards the Yingyu Swamp.
The Yingyu Swamp was a place where the Yulan River and the Abundant River released their flood waters during the flood season. As a result, not only was the swamp vast, but it was also covered in mud all year round. During the rainy season, the swamp would become a swamp. Many of the sundries from the two rivers accumulated there, causing the plants growing in the swamp to wither and rot every year before being soaked in the muddy water. Over time, a faint layer of poisonous miasma rose up above the Yingyu Swamp.
Although the toxicity of the miasma was weak and even ordinary cultivators could resist it, the miasma was highly permeable and well hidden. Ordinary cultivators would usually ignore it after noticing it. However, after staying in the swamp for a long time, the toxicity would eventually seep into the cultivator's flesh and bones and lay dormant, causing harm to the cultivator.
The Yingyu Swamp was vast and dangerous. If Mara were to hide in it, it would be difficult for the cultivators to encircle him in a short period of time. However, the sects in Hebei still discussed the encirclement deadline of three months. They were considering the miasma that permeated the swamp. Three months was the time limit for the miasma to seep into a cultivator's blood.
Naturally, the miasma didn't have any effect on Lu Ping. On the contrary, Lu Ping's interest was piqued when he noticed the miasma.
The poisonous miasma wasn't too strong, but it was tenacious. Not only that, the poison was extremely stealthy and permeable. If it weren't for Lu Ping's Thousand Poison Serpent, which was also known as the "Mother of All Poisons", he wouldn't have been bothered by the poisonous miasma.
Lu Ping's protective energy barrier, the Myriad Poison Meteorite Star, could absorb all kinds of toxins to strengthen himself. The Myriad Poison Potion in the Golden House was the same. More importantly, once the toxins in the Myriad Poison Potion were strong enough, it would automatically condense into a mid-grade heaven-rank spirit treasure, the Myriad Wonder Dew.
This was what Lu Ping valued the most. After he grasped the refining method of the Spirit Forging Pill, the biggest problem he faced was the lack of a Heaven Rank Saint Rank Spirit Treasure like the Myriad Wonder Jade Nectar.
Previously, he had three quarters of the Myriad Wonder Jade Nectar on him, totaling 27 drops. But after refining several furnaces of Spirit Forging Pills, apart from the three drops of Myriad Wonder Jade Nectar that Zhenling had accumulated for thousands of years, the remaining three furnaces of Myriad Wonder Jade Nectar were his own. This was also the reason why he wasn't willing to hand over more Spirit Forging Pills to the sect. With so many Myriad Wonder Jade Nectar appearing, Lu Ping still couldn't grasp the consequences of this impact.
After a short while, Lu Ping's flight light entered the Brimming Jade Swamp. He propped up the Myriad Poison Meteorite Meteorite Qi and naturally ignored the imperceptible miasma around him. His flight light didn't slow down in the slightest as he flew straight into the depths of the swamp.
At this time, after the invasion of a large number of cultivators, the swamp was no longer as desolate and lonely as it was before. The swamp seemed to have suddenly become lively. The dull roars of spells, the crazy roars of beasts, all kinds of mournful screams, and the roars of cultivators resounded from all over the swamp and reverberated in all directions.
Lu Ping swept out with his Divine Sense and went straight to a muddy pond ten kilometers to the left.
