On the tenth day of the Hebei practitioners entering the Lush Jade Swamp, a worrisome piece of news began to spread through the swamp: the Yingshan Immortal Academy's only Dharma adept, Laozu Guo Tianshan, had been ambushed by an unknown force while out on a solo trip. Guo Tianshan had fought his way out, but he had been seriously injured.
After returning to the camp in the swamp, the Dharma adept of the Yintang Sect, Yin Hui Laozu, had confirmed that the injuries on Guo Tianshan Laozu's body had come from the Yulan River Monster Clan's "Heart Breaking and Arteries Breaking." Fortunately, Guo Tianshan Laozu was a Dharma adept after all, and he had not been hit in a vital area, so the injuries were far from damaging his foundation. However, if he wanted to fully recover, he would need at least a few months of rest.
The news of Guo Tianshan Laozu's injuries immediately made the practitioners entering the Lush Jade Swamp cautious. Following that, the various sects received news that the Yulan River Monster Clan had appeared in the swamp, causing the situation in the Lush Jade Swamp to become more and more delicate.
The next day, the Gu Clan's Dharma adept, Gu Chang Laozu, and the Cloud Capital Sect's Taidu Laozu jointly issued a warning to the various sects of the Hebei practitioners: the practitioners of the Xuan Sect from the plains had secretly infiltrated the Lush Jade Swamp. A few days ago, the practitioners of the Xuan Sect colluded with a suspected practitioner of the Spirit Beast Tamer Sect and used wild beasts to attack the disciples of the two sects, causing two deaths and two serious injuries.
When the news spread, the practitioners in the Lush Jade Swamp were in an uproar. The strong intervention of the Xuan Sect had changed the situation in the swamp, and all kinds of rumors and news were flying everywhere.
Why did the Xuan Sect secretly infiltrate the Lush Jade Swamp? Why did they attack the disciples of the Gu Clan and the Cloud Capital Sect?
However, before they could digest the news, several cultivators from the other sects spread the news. On the same day when the cultivators from the Gu Clan and Cloud Capital Faction were ambushed, the cultivators from the other sects were also ambushed by wild beasts in the swamp. Due to that, the cultivators from the other sects suffered casualties.
The boiling situation in the Richjade Swamp suddenly cooled down. Did the Xuan Sect really want to become the enemy of all the cultivators in the cultivation world of Hebei?
After a day of anxiety, the two Dharma Manifestation Laozu suddenly appeared in a camp that was overseen by a Hebei cultivation sect's Laozu. One of the cultivators had a pale face and was in a sorry state. It was obvious that he had been through a fierce battle, and his inner Yuan was greatly damaged.
The situation of the other Fa Xiang, Laozu, caused the cultivators in the camp to turn pale with fright. They saw a huge palm print on Laozu's back.
Although these two Laozu didn't say much, these wounds, which seemed to have been left behind from close combat, seemed to fit perfectly with the 'Heartbreaker Pulse-Severing Divine Ability' of the Yulan River monsters.
The Dharma Manifestation adept who had been stationed at the camp hurriedly went to pay a visit. However, these two Laozu, named Qu Cheng and Liang Feng, did not say much.
The next day, Qu Cheng Laozu brought the injured Liang Feng Laozu and flew out of the Richjade Swamp. Clearly, they wanted to withdraw from this trip to the Richjade Swamp. The Dharma Manifestation adept stationed at the camp sent out several spatial jade slips with a heavy heart, communicating with the other Laozu's of the various sects in the other camps.
Although nothing else happened that day, the cultivators in the Richjade Swamp could already sense that a violent counterattack was brewing. The atmosphere in the Richjade Swamp was getting more and more strange. The various sects that had come to surround and kill Mara began to recall their disciples and guard the safety of their camps.
At the same time, the number of Yulan River monsters in the swamp grew more and more frequent. Some of the cultivators who were still out adventuring, after a series of dangerous battles, brought back news that confirmed what the Gu Clan and the Cloud Capital Sect had said.
There were indeed black-robed cultivators attacking and killing the cultivators of the various sects in the Hebei region in the swamp. However, after being warned by the Gu Clan and the Cloud Capital Sect, the various sects were on their guard. Even so, there were still many cultivators who were killed.
On the fourteenth day, an even more shocking piece of news swept through the entire Richjade Swamp. The three Laozu Masters of the Huayu Sect had led ten late Core Forging adepts from the sect into the Richjade Swamp. After entering the Richjade Swamp, they killed seven Core Forging adepts of the Yulan River monsters and wounded one Dharma adept of the Yulan River monsters.
When the news spread, the various sects of the Hebei region, Laozu Masters of the various sects were caught off guard. Although there had been many clashes between the humans and the monsters in the swamp, on the whole, both sides had maintained some restraint. Even though Guo Tianshan and two other Dharma adepts had been wounded by the monsters, the high-level practitioners of the Yulan River monsters and the high-level practitioners of the Spiritual Martial Sect of the Hebei region, as well as the other five large and medium-sized sects, had been communicating with each other. Although the two sides were at daggers drawn, they did not accidentally fire.
The Huayu Sect had recklessly charged into the Richjade Swamp and started a massacre. Not only did the various sects of the Hebei region not expect this, but the monsters of the Yulan River were also caught off guard.
Of course, the Huayu Sect was not an idiot. In front of the entire Yulan River monsters, the Huayu Sect was nothing more than an ant. Naturally, they would not use an egg to touch a rock.
When the Huayu Sect had attacked the monsters in the swamp, the Spiritual Martial Sect had already received the news that one of the four great Dharma adepts of the Huayu Sect, Qinghua Laozu, who had the highest chance of reaching the mid Dharma stage in the last few hundred years, had fallen in the Richjade Swamp.
By the time the Huayu Sect had found Qinghua Laozu's body, it had already been badly mutilated. However, they could still prove that Qinghua Laozu had died under the "Heart Breaking Arteries" of the Yulan River monsters. What was even more frightening was that before Qinghua Laozu had fallen, he had been severely wounded by a special sword technique, and this sword technique was the "Single True Essence Sword Technique"!
The spearhead was pointed directly at the king of the Yulan River monsters, one of the top monsters in the world of training, the Koi Monsters!
The Koi Monsters had two great inherited sword techniques. One was the Heaven's Gate Sword Formation, and the other was the "Single True Essence Sword Technique", which had always been a secret technique of the Koi Monsters. Now that the "Single True Essence Sword Technique" had appeared, and had become the main reason why Qinghua Laozu of the Huayu Sect had fallen, the Koi Monsters could not escape the blame.
The fall of a Dharma adept, and the appearance of the Koi Monsters. If they continued to restrain themselves, it would definitely chill the hearts of the majority of the Hebei training world.
On the fifteenth day, the Spiritual Martial Sect and the Yuhua Sect, the two large sects, as well as the Huayu Sect and the other three small sects, had a total of six Laozu's. They had destroyed one of the camps that the Yulan River monsters had set up in the swamp. Of the two Dharma adepts guarding the camp, one was dead, and the other was injured.
When the news spread, the morale of the Hebei training world was greatly boosted. They all applauded the powerful methods of the Spiritual Martial Sect. At the same time, many cultivators spontaneously formed groups and began to kill the monsters in the swamp. The conflict between the two sides became more and more intense.
Within the main camp. Because Patriarch Guotianshan was' heavily injured ', he didn't participate in the upcoming series of operations against the monsters of the Yulan River. Only when the various Patriarchs of the various sects gathered together to discuss matters would Patriarch Guotianshan drag his injured body to participate.
Because Lu Ping was the only late Core Forging disciple from the Ying Shan Immortal Academy to participate in this operation, since his "teacher" was injured, Lu Ping had to take care of his teacher. Naturally, he did not leave the camp to participate in the operations of the other sects. The other sects did not say much either.
Half a month passed, and the situation in the Lush Jade Swamp worsened, even developing in a confusing direction. First, the Spiritual Martial Sect received news from the Spirit Beast Sect. This time, there might be cultivators from the Spirit Beast Sect in the Lush Jade Swamp, but the Spirit Beast Sect had never joined forces with the Supreme Profound Sect to ambush disciples of other sects.
Soon after, the Supreme Profound Sect's cultivators no longer hid their identities and openly stood on the side of the Spiritual Martial Sect. The Hebei training world also gradually began to divide. Aside from the Spiritual Martial Sect's staunch allies, the Yuhua Sect, the Huayu Sect, and the other three small sects, the other thirteen small sects, including the Ying Shan Immortal Academy, gradually distanced themselves from the Spiritual Martial Sect.
The other thirteen sects did not expect that the Supreme Profound Sect would openly stand on the side of the Spiritual Martial Sect. After a meeting of the various sects, Guo Tianshan and Laozu, Guo Tianshan told Lu Ping that the thirteen sects had privately reached a consensus to join forces with the Yulan River Demon Clan to deal with the Spiritual Martial Sect.
When Lu Ping first heard this news, he was speechless. This was a typical method of inviting a wolf into the house. However, Lu Ping thought about it again. The Hebei training world did not wish for the Spiritual Martial Sect to rise to become a large power and obtain the recognition of the Five Great Holy Lands. The Yulan River also did not wish for a powerful Spiritual Martial Sect to appear in the Hebei training world. Both sides could be considered to have hit it off.
It was just that the various sects seemed to have forgotten the purpose of entering the Lush Jade Swamp. Although the various sects' cultivators had already attacked the depths of the Lush Jade Swamp, Mara's lair had still not been found. Naturally, there was no trace of the legendary large spirit vein either.
However, Lu Ping immediately noticed that after the Spiritual Martial Sect, the Yuhua Clan, and the Huayu Clan had joined forces to counterattack, destroying a camp of the Yulan River Demon Clan and killing a Dharma adept of the Demon Clan, Laozu from both sides seemed to have a tacit understanding and did not attack again.
Although the various powers in the Lush Jade Swamp were fighting each other, the parties involved were only Core Forging Stage cultivators. The various sects' Laozu and a portion of the elite Core Forging Stage disciples were still searching the depths of the swamp for the Shura and the Demonic Cultivator's lair.
"Right now, the situation in the swamp is very bad. Are you sure you want to go meet the Spirit Beast Sect cultivator?"
Guo Tianshan Laozu asked Lu Ping. "Your strength is naturally not a problem, but right now, the swamp is in chaos. If you get surrounded, it will be very bad."
Lu Ping smiled. "Don't worry, Uncle-Master. I just don't know how Uncle-Master Liang and Uncle-Master Qu are doing."
Guo Tianshan Laozu was silent for a moment, then said, "There shouldn't be a problem. Right now, although the situation in the swamp is somewhat unexpected, we have no intention of getting involved. The various sects' cultivators will definitely not suspect us."
