"Strange, we're already at a depth of more than eight thousand feet, why haven't we caught up with Lu Xuanping yet? It's fine if he dives faster than us, but could it be that he has the confidence to find a spiritual energy gathering ground at a depth of nine thousand feet?"
Ma Chenxi asked with uncertainty as she probed the surroundings suspiciously.
"It's hard to say. This person's water attribute abilities are actually not weaker than my Koi clan. If he also has a treasure that can assist in escaping through water, coupled with the advantage of entering Sacred Lake first, it wouldn't be strange for him to be able to dive nine thousand feet before us."
Li Tong casually answered Ma Chenxi's question, then said, "But what I find strange is that at a depth of seven thousand feet, there are actually three spiritual energy gathering grounds that have already closed. Could it be that someone else entered Sacred Lake before Lu Xuanping?"
Ma Chenxi said disapprovingly, "What's so strange about that? Sacred Lake might not have been discovered by the two of us first. There's no lack of lucky people in this world, just like Lu Xuanping. Before this, neither of us would have thought that a cultivator from the North Sea would actually have such cultivation."
Li Tong still had some doubts. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think that Lu Xuanping is in one of the three spiritual energy gathering grounds?"
Ma Chenxi snorted disdainfully and said, "If this person found a seclusion ground so easily, he wouldn't have the qualifications to be mentioned in the same breath as us in the future!"
Although Li Tong had a look of agreement on his face, he still said, "After all, he's from the North Sea. Perhaps to him, a spiritual energy gathering ground seven thousand feet deep is already an amazing place."
Ma Chenxi was about to say something, but her divine sense suddenly froze. She then looked down and suddenly said, "Hey, there's light down there!" At this time, Li Tong also discovered the abnormality at the bottom of the lake. After looking in the direction that Ma Chenxi was looking at, he asked with some uncertainty, "It seems to be a pearl. It must be the water escape treasure that Lu Xuanping used. However, there are many types of pearl-type treasures, I don't know which one it is."
"As expected, he didn't randomly choose a seclusion ground! Quick, follow him. We were tricked by him earlier, so we must make him suffer a loss this time! "
Lu Ping finally slowed down after diving to the bottom of the nine thousand feet deep lake. Although he didn't have to worry about the heavy pressure at the bottom of the lake with the Waterproof Moon Pearl, it was still extremely difficult for Lu Ping to calculate the best places to gather Spirit Qi.
According to the map in Lu Ping's hand, there should be five places of gathering Spirit Qi here. However, after the lake reached nine thousand feet deep, the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake suddenly became unpredictable and powerful. Lu Ping used the Water Manipulation Spell through the Water Repellent Pearl to barely prevent himself from being swept away by the undercurrent.
These strange undercurrents were even able to affect Lu Ping's Divine Sense. Lu Ping seemed to feel that after his Divine Sense left his body, it went through all kinds of impacts, compression and deformation. His judgement of the situation at the bottom of the lake had long lost its reality. This was also an important reason why it was difficult for Lu Ping to determine the location of the Spirit Qi through the undercurrent at the bottom of the lake.
Lu Ping did his best to control his Divine Sense. He hoped that by reducing the range of his Divine Sense's detection, he could strengthen his control over his Divine Sense and get rid of the influence of the surrounding undercurrent on his Divine Sense.
At this time, Lu Ping keenly sensed that there was an extremely weak undercurrent coming directly towards the top of his head.
Different from the other undercurrents, this undercurrent contained a sharp Qi. Lu Ping, who had experienced life and death several times, could even sense a trace of killing intent from this undercurrent!
Someone was launching a sneak attack!
Due to the influence of the undercurrent on the Divine Sense and the fact that Lu Ping was wholeheartedly searching for the Spirit Qi at the bottom of the lake, he did not notice that Ma Chenxi and Li Tong had already quietly dived to the top of the lake that was only a few hundred feet away from him.
Ma Chenxi watched as his Breaking Wind Stinger was about to stab into Lu Ping's head. Although there was a trace of pity in his eyes, it was more of the ruthlessness of killing off a competitor!
Although Li Tong did not make a move, he did not make a sound to stop them either. He only looked expressionlessly at Lu Ping who was constantly searching for something below.
Ma Chenxi was very confident that he could seriously injure Lu Ping, or even kill him. This was because he was very clear that at the bottom of the Sacred Lake, which was nine hundred feet deep, there were undercurrents that could completely distort a cultivator's Divine Sense. This caused a cultivator's Divine Sense, which originally covered a radius of a few miles, to be unable to grasp the situation outside of a few hundred feet. This provided the most convenient condition for Ma Chenxi to launch a sneak attack.
However, Ma Chenxi still underestimated the strength of Lu Ping's Divine Sense and the intuition that was honed from life and death. The Breaking Wind Stinger pierced through the top of Lu Ping's head. Lu Ping did not even have the time to resist in the slightest. Ma Chenxi's face was filled with joy, and Li Tong was also startled.
"Too easy!"
Li Tong murmured.
Ma Chenxi heard that Li Tong's words seemed to be somewhat disdainful. Just as he was about to refute, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he had discovered something unbelievable.
Li Tong looked down and saw that Lu Ping, who should have died long ago after the Breaking Wind Stinger pierced through his head, suddenly raised his head and smiled at the two people who were hidden in the dark lake. The corner of his mouth was filled with endless ridicule.
"We've been tricked!"
Ma Chenxi secretly cursed, and then quickly became alert with Li Tong. They saw that Lu Ping in the distance suddenly disintegrated into a pool of water, and completely merged with the surrounding lake water.
Art of Sea Deception!
At the source of the river, at the bottom of the Sacred Sunset Lake, Lu Ping displayed the power of this set of techniques to the extreme, making Ma Chenxi and Li Tong unable to detect whether it was real or fake.
The Water Moon Avoiding Pearl that was originally hanging above Lu Ping's head and emitting a faint light, causing Lu Ping's figure to be exposed, suddenly disappeared in front of Ma Chenxi and Li Tong. The entire bottom of the lake turned completely dark.
Ma Chenxi and Li Tong's hearts suddenly sank. Only then did they realize that although Lu Ping's Divine Sense was imprisoned at the bottom of the Sacred Sunset Lake, so he could not discover them, their Divine Sense was also distorted, so they could not discover the hidden Lu Ping.
Ma Chenxi and Li Tong's sneak attack previously was only done by Ma Chenxi and Li Tong in the dark, while Lu Ping was in the light. But now, the situation had changed, and it was Lu Ping in the dark, while the two of them were in the light.
Thinking about how Lu Ping was able to sneak 300 feet away from them before he was discovered, and thinking about how Xie Tianyang suffered two consecutive losses in the hands of Lu Ping, Ma Chenxi and Li Tong's hearts could not help but sink again.
At this time, Lu Ping was like a venomous snake hidden in the dark, and could give them a fatal blow at any time the moment they let their guard down.
Strictly speaking, this time, Lu Ping took the opportunity of traveling to the Central Plains to come to the Western Wilderness to kill Ma Chenxi.
The Fourth Young Master of the Tenma people's clan leader, Ma Zhen, was the culprit behind the extermination of the Cyan Fox Clan. He was also one of the conditions for the Cyan Fox to agree to work under Lu Ping.
The reason was very simple and cliché. Although the Fourth Young Master of the Tenma people was overflowing with talent, he was also the biggest foppish son of the Tenma people. Like most foppish sons, although this Fourth Young Master of the Tenma people was obsessed with cultivation, he was equally obsessed with women.
The Fox Clan was originally a place where the Beastkin cultivators produced beautiful women, and the Cyan Fox Clan was the most seductive clan among the Fox Clan. Unfortunately, the Fox Clan was located in the Western Wilderness. Although it was also a rather powerful force among the Beastkin cultivators in the Western Wilderness, how could it compete with the number one Tenma people among the three royal clans in the Western Wilderness?
Therefore, the Fox Clan naturally became the Fourth Young Master's hunting ground. It just so happened that the beautiful Cyan Fox Clan was seen by the Fourth Young Master of the Ma family during one of his trips, and he was instantly stunned.
What happened next was obvious. After being rejected by the Cyan Fox Clan, the Fourth Young Master of the Ma family naturally wouldn't let the matter rest, and he repeatedly came to harass the Cyan Fox Clan. The Fox Clan and the entire Fox Clan naturally didn't dare to offend the Tenma people. They originally wanted to persuade the Cyan Fox Clan to compromise, but the Cyan Fox Clan refused to comply. In addition, the Cyan Fox Clan's mother, the clan leader of the Cyan Fox Clan, also supported her daughter. In the end, the Fourth Young Master of the Ma family flew into a rage out of humiliation, but he didn't succumb to the Tenma people's coercion and temptation.
At this point, although the Cyan Fox Clan and even the Fox Clan had offended the Tenma people, the Tenma people wouldn't go so far as to risk universal condemnation and annihilate the Cyan Fox Clan.
However, things weren't that simple. The Cyan Fox Clan wasn't a demon cultivator of the Fox Clan, but a descendant of a woman from the Cyan Fox Clan and a human cultivator who had fallen in love.
After that, the human cultivator disappeared, and the Cyan Fox Clan's mother had no choice but to bring the Cyan Fox Clan back to the Western Wilderness. For the past hundred years, the Cyan Fox Clan's mother had been concealing the Cyan Fox Clan's identity as a mixed-blood between humans and demons. However, this time, under the persistent harassment of the Fourth Young Master of the Ma family, the Tenma people discovered that the Cyan Fox Clan was a mixed-blood.
The Fourth Young Master of the Ma family immediately acted as if he had obtained a priceless treasure, and immediately issued an ultimatum to the Cyan Fox Clan. However, the Cyan Fox who didn't realize the severity of the situation not only refused to yield, but also fought with the Fourth Young Master of the Ma family.
Although the Cyan Fox Clan was an outstanding cultivator among her peers, she was no match for the Heavenly Pride of the Pegasus Clan. Soon, she was captured by Ma Chenxi.
After that, the Cyan Fox Clan's mother appeared out of nowhere and interfered with the Cyan Fox Clan's plan.
At that time, Ma Chenxi had just broken through to the Late Core Forging Stage. Although she was powerful, she wasn't a match for the Cyan Fox Clan's leader, who had already advanced to the Transcendence Stage. On top of that, the Cyan Fox Clan's leader was protective of his daughter, causing Ma Chenxi to suffer a great loss. However, Ma Chenxi relied on a treasure bestowed by the elders of the clan to escape from the Cyan Fox Clan's leader with severe injuries.
Since young, Ma Chenxi had never suffered such a great loss. When the Tenma people's leader, Ma Zhen, saw his most beloved son in such a state, he was naturally furious and wanted to stand up for his son.
Originally, things weren't that simple. The Cyan Fox Clan's descendant, the entire Fox Clan, was a rather powerful clan in the Western Wilderness. There was no reason for the Tenma people to fall out with the entire Fox Clan over this matter.
However, Ma Chenxi brought another piece of news to Ma Zhen. The Cyan Fox Clan's leader's daughter was actually a mixed-blood. How could this be?
The Fox Clan was originally a vassal of the White-Fronted Tiger Clan, one of the three royal clans of the Western Wilderness. After the Tiger Clan's power declined, the Tenma people urgently needed to expand their power. Naturally, they had to suppress the Tiger Clan. At this time, the Cyan Fox Clan became the best excuse for the Tenma people to expand their clan's power.
