Despite the appearance of the Tenma people's mid Dharma adepts, Lu Ping was still a little puzzled. Although the mid Dharma adepts were powerful, there were hundreds of adepts coming out of the river source, and they left in all directions. Instead of sending a few Dharma adepts to search for Ma Chenxi's murderer, it would be more practical to send a few hundred Tenma people's Core Forging adepts to surround and intercept them.
Lu Ping was more and more certain that something must have happened among the Tenma people. Otherwise, when it was related to Ma Chenxi's death, the Tenma people would definitely not only send Dharma adepts to rescue them.
Lu Ping's divine will had already sensed that Ma Zhongshan, who was saved by the Tenma people's Dharma adepts, had handed a blood stone to the old man. At the same time, he kept saying something, but there was no trace of joy on the old man's face as he held the blood stone in his hand. Instead, his brows were furrowed more and more tightly.
Then he saw the old man open his mouth to ask something. Suddenly, Ma Zhongshan's expression changed drastically, as if he was scared stiff. Then, he immediately shook his head vigorously, as if he was trying to explain something. Then the old man sighed and did not say anything more. Instead, he looked at Xie Tianyang, who had been waiting for him for a long time, a few dozen feet in front of him.
Without asking, Lu Ping could guess that Ma Zhongshan seemed to be taking the blood stone to show off in front of the old man. But obviously, the old man was not here for the blood stone, but for other reasons. After that, Ma Zhongshan obviously learned about Ma Chenxi's death from the old man, which was why he was so scared that his face turned pale. Then, he should be trying to get rid of his responsibility, and it seemed that the old man also believed what he said.
This guy was quite quick-witted!
Such a thought popped into Lu Ping's mind, but the conveyance light under his feet began to slowly accelerate. Such a big thing had happened, Ma Zhongshan would definitely report in detail to the old man about what happened at the river source. Then, his performance at the river source this time would definitely attract the attention of the Tenma people, and he could not rule out the possibility that some people would look at him suspiciously. After all, with Ma Chenxi's strength, there were only a few people who had the ability to kill him.
As Lu Ping walked away, a strong wave of spiritual power suddenly rose behind him. Lu Ping knew that it was the middle Dharma Tenma people elder who had fought with Xie Tianyang.
Xie Tianyang had indeed hidden a part of his strength. If not, how could he have lasted so long in the hands of a middle Dharma adept?
However, the opponent's cultivation was much higher than Xie Tianyang's, after all, so it was only a matter of time before he was defeated. But Lu Ping had a feeling that even if Xie Tianyang was defeated, he would not fall into the hands of the Tenma people. This person must have a trump card. After all, he was one of the six great swords of the Ziyang Palace, how could he have a lack of life-saving items?
Just as Xie Tianyang and the Tenma people started fighting, three other heavy waves of coercion suddenly rose from three other directions at the river source. At the same time, these three waves of coercion began to move rapidly towards the battle behind Lu Ping.
When these three waves of coercion rose, Lu Ping's heart trembled. Another three middle Dharma adepts. What the hell were these Tenma people up to?
At this time, Lu Ping could no longer care about concealing anything. He thought that the Tenma people elder would not notice him in the battle with Xie Tianyang. Hence, the light of the cross-ocean boat increased. After he had condensed the Deception Technique into a remarkable talisman in the spiritual gathering ground, Lu Ping's evasion technique had improved again. In the blink of an eye, he had covered a distance of more than a hundred feet.
At this time, the strong wave of spiritual power behind him suddenly quietened down. Lu Ping knew that there was an 80% chance that Xie Tianyang had used a life-saving technique passed down by his sect to escape. Xie Tianyang was not that stupid to play with fire in front of four middle Dharma adepts like Laozu.
On the outskirts of the river source, the Tenma people elder looked in the direction where Xie Tianyang had disappeared with an expressionless face. Ma Zhongshan carefully came behind the elder and asked in a low voice, "Elder?"
The elder did not turn around and only said in a low voice, "Zhongshan, you did well this time. Even when the fourth brat was not present, you were still able to protect a piece of Flood Dragon Blood Stone from the proud disciple of the Zi Yang Palace. When we return to the clan, the Old Man will report this to the Clan Leader."
Hearing this, Ma Zhongshan's eyes flashed with joy, but then he sighed and said, "It's a pity that the fourth young master was too fast that day, and we were unable to catch up. Otherwise, if we had helped him, perhaps the fourth young master would not have been harmed by the scoundrel!"
The elder snorted coldly and said, "That brat was a rare genius of our clan, even comparable to the Clan Leader of the past. However, he was arrogant and despotic, and had no respect for anyone. The Clan Leader also indulged him a lot. These few years, our clan seemed to be expanding rapidly, but a lot of it was because of the trouble he caused. Our clan is now almost the public enemy of the Western Wilderness, so it's a good thing that he died. Otherwise, who knows how many people will attack us from behind when we are defending against Mara's invasion."
The elder's words stopped in Ma Zhongshan's ears. He was happy at first, but then he was shocked and asked anxiously, "Mara's invasion, then the disaster of Mara has spread to the Western Wilderness, and even threatened our clan?"
"It's not just that!"
A voice sounded out. A Tenma people cultivator who looked slightly younger than the elder in front of him kicked the space door in front of him and walked out. He looked at Ma Zhongshan and said, "The Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Tiger Clan is finished. This time, the disaster of Mara is very strange. It actually knows how to pick on the soft persimmon first. News has come from the clan that cultivators from the Yuwen clan have entered the Western Wilderness. The Clan Leader has already sent people to welcome them, and they must welcome the cultivators from the Yuwen clan to our Pegasus clan before the Peng clan."
Ma Zhongshan looked at the elder who was walking over and said in shock, "What, Elder Ma Tu, the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Tiger Clan is finished? How is that possible? "
The battle between the Tenma people and the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Tiger Clan had lasted for thousands of years. Both sides could be said to be in a state where one side would not rest until the other was dead. The Tenma people schemed and finally gained the upper hand in the battle between the two clans, causing the strength of the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Tiger Clan to continuously decline.
But even so, the Tenma people still did not dare to start a war of extermination against the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Tiger Clan. Aside from many other factors, the main reason was that the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Tiger Clan was, after all, a top clan. Even if they were on a decline, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. The Tenma people naturally did not want to fight between two tigers. Not to mention, there was the Golden-Winged Peng clan in the Western Wilderness, and the Koi clan that had always occupied the Yulan River was not easy to deal with. Who knew if they would suddenly come ashore in the upper reaches of the Yulan River?
But now, this clan that the Tenma people feared so much had been exterminated just like that. How could this not cause Ma Zhongshan to tremble with fear? Mara was able to exterminate the Suspended-Eyed White-Fronted Tiger Clan so easily. Most likely, even the Tenma people would not be a match for him.
Elder Ma Tu, who had just arrived, glanced at Ma Zhongshan, then turned to Elder Ma Li, who was in front of him, and said, "Mara has come with far greater ferocity than before. If we are not careful, even our clan will suffer heavy losses. At this critical moment of life and death, the Patriarch has sent the four of us to the river source to find the murderer of Ma Xiaosi. This is really …"
When Elder Ma Li glared at him, Elder Ma Tu had no choice but to swallow the words he was about to say. When he spoke again, he had already changed the topic, "Fourth Elder Brother, Fifth Elder Brother and Seventh Younger Brother have already inquired among the clan disciples who have come out of the river source. This time, there are only three people who are on par with Little Si. Aside from Li Tong of the Koi Clan and Xie Tianyang of the Purple Sun Palace, the others such as Zhang Zhiming and Lei Laoliu are all a level higher than Little Si. Furthermore, it seems that these people have no chance of killing Little Si. This is strange. Could it be that there are other experts hidden in the river source that have not been discovered?"
Elder Ma Li made an "oh" sound and said indifferently, "There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the cultivation world. Even though Little Si is overflowing with talent, he may not be invincible among cultivators of the same level. However, you just said that there are three people who are on par with Little Si in this river source. Who is the third person?"
Ma Tu looked at Ma Zhongshan who was standing quietly to the side and said, "Speaking of which, this is a bit unexpected. This person is actually a cultivator from the North Sea called Lu Xuanping. His sword skills with dual swords are most likely not inferior to Xie Tianyang's. It is said that during the fight for the Flood Dragon Blood Stones, he killed Lei Laoliu with one strike. At the same time, he also chopped a Green Sea Snake that Lei Laoliu had kidnapped into meat paste. However, this person seems to have become the biggest winner of the river source this time. Out of the seven Flood Dragon Blood Stones, three were destroyed by him, and two were taken by him. As for the remaining two, one is in our hands, and the other was taken by Li Tong of the Koi Clan from the Western Desolate Palace."
"Green Sea Snake?"
Elder Ma Li's brows furrowed into a knot. It seemed that the appearance of the Green Sea Snake had caused many things to be out of his control. However, he immediately asked, "Is it possible that this Lu Xuanping is the murderer of Little Four?"
Elder Ma Tu hesitated for a moment and said, "Little Four was lured away by Lei Laoliu. After that, Lei Laoliu returned and took the opportunity to snatch the Green Sea Snake while Li Tong and Xie Tianyang were fighting. Instead, he was mistakenly killed by Lu Xuanping who rushed over from another direction. From this point of view, Little Four's death does not seem to have anything to do with him, but in terms of time, there is a slight possibility. It's just that although Lu Xuanping appeared in front of everyone a moment later, it was only a moment of time. Among the cultivators of the same level in the cultivation world, who could kill Little Four so quickly and cleanly?"
If it was said that in the cultivation world, there were a few cultivators of the same level who could surpass Ma Chenxi, the two Tenma people Elders Ma Li and Ma Tu believed it, but if it was said that Ma Chenxi could be killed in an extremely short period of time, these two elders did not believe it. No one could know Ma Chenxi's strength better than them.
"Where are Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother now?"
Elder Ma Li seemed to have thought of something and asked Elder Ma Tu.
"Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother, one is following Li Tong, and the other is chasing after Lu Xuanping. With Little Four's strength, he most likely died in the trap of everyone's encirclement. However, the two Flood Dragon Blood Stones on Lu Xuanping are also things that our clan must obtain!"
Elder Ma Li nodded in affirmation of Elder Ma Tu's arrangements. However, he heard Elder Ma Tu murmur to himself, "This is really strange. Since when has the North Sea been able to cultivate such talents?"
