"Hum!"
A strange wave rushed towards Lu Ping's divine sense, giving him a splitting headache and causing him to fall to the ground. A black cloud rolled out from the green mist and let out a strange cry that sounded like it was excited as it pounced towards Lu Ping.
The Xiumo hidden in the black cloud seemed to have sensed that the cultivator lying on the ground had something he coveted.
The black cloud rolled forward and wrapped around Lu Ping. At this moment, purple lightning suddenly burst out of the black cloud. The black cloud was like snow under the scorching sun, dissolving into nothingness by the lightning.
Miserable screams could be heard from the dissipating black cloud. Lu Ping slowly got up from the ground. He saw a Xiumo not much different from an ordinary person, but its face was pale and it had a pair of fangs. The Xiumo's body disintegrated in the lightning, leaving only a brown crystal in Lu Ping's hand.
This Xiumo had been chasing after Lu Ping for a whole day. No matter what Lu Ping did, he couldn't shake it off or lure it out. In addition, this Xiumo seemed to be constantly summoning Shuras to surround Lu Ping while it was following Lu Ping.
Fortunately, Lu Ping was lucky. There were no Dharma Phase Blood Shuras or Blood Demons who came looking for trouble with Lu Ping. The Core Forging Stage Great Shuras were obviously not a match for Lu Ping.
However, Lu Ping was annoyed by the continuous battles. After a long time, he would have to relax, which would give the Xiumo an opportunity to attack.
In the end, Lu Ping could only pretend to be exhausted after a series of battles. At this time, the Xiumo who was far behind Lu Ping finally noticed the advantage and used its innate magical ability, the Soul Devouring Technique, on Lu Ping. Lu Ping pretended to be powerless and collapsed on the ground, which led to the scene just now.
Three days ago, when Lu Ping arrived at the previous camp, it had long been razed to the ground. Lu Ping couldn't find any information about Guo Tianshan Laozu in the ruins, but he could see that the camp seemed to have been deliberately abandoned by the Xiumo. There were no casualties.
Lu Ping let out a long sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, he found that this place had become the territory of Mara who were fleeing from the center of the swamp. Shuras and even Xiumo constantly jumped out of the fog, mud, ground, and thorns to attack Lu Ping.
Fortunately, this fleeing Mara did not have the Dharma Phase Mara to lead them, and they did not surround Lu Ping. Lu Ping's pair of flying swords killed dozens of Great Shuras and seven or eight Xiumo.
He knew that this Blood Demon Cultivator was about to evolve into a Blood Demon. Aside from its innate ability to devour souls, this Blood Demon was also proficient in concealment and escape. Although Lu Ping had extraordinary attainments in these two areas, he still couldn't catch the Blood Demon Cultivator. In the end, he had no choice but to feign an injury to kill the Blood Demon Cultivator with the Seven Thunder Treasures Gourd.
It was a pity that he did not know where this Xiumo's escape and hiding techniques came from!
Lu Ping put away the Soul Devouring Crystal. He thought about the remaining Mara who was entrenched in this area, and his heart skipped a beat. Now that Mara who was entrenched in the depths of the swamp must have been defeated, and the Mara was now hiding from a large-scale encirclement. Why was this Mara entrenched here and not leaving?
And these few days, they were not trying their best to encircle and kill Lu Ping. Instead, they were trying to expel him. Yes, not encircle and kill him, but to expel him. They wanted to expel Lu Ping!
What was hidden in this area?
Lu Ping's heart was on fire. His divine consciousness kept sweeping the area, and then suddenly a colorful cloud appeared around him. The cloud flickered and quickly dissipated into the fog. At the same time, Lu Ping also disappeared.
More than ten Great Asuras seemed to have received the cry for help from the Xiumo just before it died. They gathered here from different directions, but they could not find anything. In the end, they could only disperse.
In an unknown place near the swamp, several cultivators dressed in black gathered together. The leader was a cultivator at the peak of the Core Forging Realm. If Lu Ping was here, he could easily see that these people were from the same sect as those who had plotted against the Gu Family and the Cloud Capital Sect. They were all from the Tai Xuan Sect of the cultivation world in the lower reaches of the Yulan River.
"Junior Brother Lin, are you sure?"
The cultivator at the peak of the Core Forging Realm asked a short cultivator.
"Eighth Senior Brother, don't worry. These Asuras are entrenched here because they have obtained a Life Spirit Treasure from a dead Blood Asura. These days, these Asuras seem to be fighting over this Life Spirit Treasure in order to use the secret technique of the Asura clan to stimulate the essence of the Blood Asura contained in this Life Spirit Treasure, so that this clan can give birth to a new Blood Asura."
"I didn't expect the Asura clan to have such a secret technique, but this is an opportunity. We can take the opportunity to seize this Life Spirit Treasure. Although we can't use the power of this Spirit Treasure in our hands, after we take it back to the sect, we can ask the sect's Weapon Forging Grandmaster to help us. I think we can get another Spirit Treasure. When that time comes, everyone will be credited!"
Eighth Senior Brother seemed to have made up his mind.
"Oh, what Eighth Senior Brother said is right. I think with this Asura Spirit Treasure in hand, the sect will certainly look at Eighth Senior Brother with new eyes. When the time comes, with strong training, you will certainly enter the Dharma Realm. At that time, Eighth Senior Brother will be the third third-generation disciple of our sect to enter the Dharma Realm. In the future, we will call Eighth Senior Brother 'Third Senior Brother'!"
Junior Brother Lin immediately agreed with Eighth Senior Brother's decision, and several others also began to speak in agreement.
"Well, Senior Brother Lin, please lead the team. We will quietly sneak into their core area, then surprise them, seize this Spirit Treasure, and break out of the encirclement. If we are lucky enough to succeed, when we return to the sect, the credit will belong to everyone!"
Eighth Senior Brother's words boosted the morale of several Taixuan Sect cultivators.
Junior Brother Lin repeatedly said, "Eighth Senior Brother is of noble character and unquestionable integrity. We admire him very much!"
After that, Junior Brother Lin mysteriously said to his fellow disciples around him, "Senior Brothers, do you know what else I found besides this Life Spirit Treasure?"
Eighth Senior Brother said impatiently, "Junior Brother Lin, if you found anything, just say it. Don't leave us hanging."
There was a flash of displeasure in Junior Brother Lin's eyes, but he still smiled and said, "Eighth Senior Brother is right. This time, I have continuously found the Blood Asura's Life Spirit Treasure, and I also found that there is a Spirit Vein in the gathering place of this group of Asuras."
Eighth Senior Brother's eyes flashed with a light, and then he said calmly, "Well, that is normal. If there is no Spirit Vein to attract them, this Life Spirit Treasure alone may not be able to keep this group of Asuras here. But Junior Brother Lin, what do you think the quality of this Spirit Vein is?"
Junior Brother Lin said affirmatively, "At least the scale of three small Spirit Veins!"
"Good!"
Eighth Senior Brother's face lit up, and he said to the surrounding disciples of the Taixuan Sect, "Let's do this. When we return, I will ask the sect for credit for everyone. Junior Brother Lin's credit will be the greatest!"
Junior Brother Lin bowed his head and thanked him, "Thank you, Eighth Senior Brother. It is all thanks to Eighth Senior Brother's good words in the sect!"
Eighth Senior Brother and the surrounding cultivators did not see the strange light flashing in Junior Brother Lin's eyes.
"There is no time to lose!"
Eighth Senior Brother was also a straightforward person. He waved to the surrounding disciples of the Taixuan Sect and said, "We will act as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble. I have been informed by our sect's Laozu that those bastards of the Tianxuan Sect have also sneaked into the swamp. They must be coming for our sect. Some time ago, there was news that Ling Kong of the Spiritual Martial Sect has died. We must be even more careful!"
"What, Ling Kong of the Spiritual Martial Sect is dead? That is a cultivator of the mid Dharma Plane. Could it be that a great cultivator of the Tianxuan Sect personally took action? "
Several disciples of the Taixuan Sect exclaimed.
Eighth Senior Brother frowned and said, "This time, our sect and the Spiritual Martial Sect secretly cooperated. We originally thought that it would be a matter of course. Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the swamp, we were exposed. Eleventh and Thirteenth were almost ambushed. Eleventh was even taken away by our sect's Laozu's escape talisman weapon. It is really shameful!"
"Ah, it is not!" A disciple of the Taixuan Sect said, "Although this time, our Taixuan Sect also achieved brilliant results in the swamp, fourteen of the eighty-one cultivators of the various sects in the Hebei province died at our hands. There was also an early Dharma Plane cultivator from a sect that was not on good terms with the Spiritual Martial Sect. It is said that the Spiritual Martial Sect also secretly plotted against one of them and seriously injured the other. But the death of Ling Kong of the Spiritual Martial Sect is enough to offset the results of our battle."
"Who cares? Anyway, it is the cultivator of the Spiritual Martial Sect who died. Our Dharma Plane cultivator Laozu of the Taixuan Sect is unscathed!"
Eighth Senior Brother listened to the discussion of several of his junior brothers, and his mood was a little heavy. He had quite a high status among the third generation disciples of the Taixuan Sect, and his knowledge was far greater than that of his junior brothers. Naturally, he saw things much further than them.
This time, the Spiritual Martial Sect lost a mid Dharma Plane cultivator. It could be said that it was difficult to rise to become a large sect. If so, although the alliance between the Taixuan Sect and the Spiritual Martial Sect was still a force that the Tianxuan Sect dared not underestimate, after all, the Spiritual Martial Sect did not have the righteousness of a large sect from the Five Holy Lands. Even if the two sects joined hands, they would not be able to resist the attack of the Tianxuan Sect. Moreover, the Spiritual Martial Sect also had to prevent a fire in their own backyard. It was very likely that the various sects in the Hebei province would join forces to put pressure on the Spiritual Martial Sect!
The group of people from the Taixuan Sect walked toward the fog, but they did not notice that Junior Brother Lin had intentionally or unintentionally slowed down his pace. He accompanied the Eighth Senior Brother all the way down to the end.
After the crowd walked far away, a gust of fog blew over, and Lu Ping walked out of the fog. He looked at the people of the Taixuan Sect in the distance, smiled slightly, and said to himself, "This is getting more and more interesting. I didn't expect that the Spiritual Martial Sect would actually lose a mid Dharma Plane elder. I don't know if the Spiritual Martial Sect can bear this blow!"
Lu Ping waved to the fog around him, and his whole body once again disappeared into the fog.
