"Since the background of this tiger demon is already known, I will not take advantage of you. The price just now was indeed a scam, but you'd better hand this tiger demon over to me. I am willing to give you a thousand high-grade spirit stones. What do you think?"
A thousand high-grade spirit stones was already a price that was enough to bribe a Dharma adept. This woman was really generous, bringing such a large sum of spirit stones with her. Was she not afraid of being robbed? This sum of spirit stones was enough to make a Dharma adept greedy.
However, Lu Ping did not care. Now, he did not have too many extravagant demands for spirit stones. The spirit stones he had on him were already enough for him to practice. Now, what he valued were things that spirit stones could not exchange for.
"Why, you think it's too little?"
The woman frowned and said, "Don't be too greedy. A thousand high-grade spirit stones is enough for me to bribe a Dharma adept to rob it. You should be able to see my sincerity clearly!"
Lu Ping smiled slightly and said, "Since I know that this tiger is from the Single-eyed White-Fronted Tiger tribe, how can it be bought with spirit stones?"
When the woman heard this, she did not refute it. After a while, she said, "What you said is not unreasonable. What do you want, I can try my best to satisfy you. However, you have to think clearly. This Single-eyed White-Fronted Tiger is a top-tier demon clan and has a bloodline inheritance. If it is not handed over to a capable person, I am afraid that its top-tier bloodline will be wasted."
When Lu Ping heard what she said, he was even more certain of her identity, so he smiled and said, "May I ask if you know Sang Yu, Zhenren Sang?"
Sure enough, when the woman heard the two words "Sang Yu", her expression immediately became very vigilant. She said coldly, "What do you mean?"
Lu Ping pointed at the black leopard mount and smiled. "This is a Flying Cloud Leopard, right? Although it's not a top-grade monster beast, it's rumored that it has some top-grade monster bloodline running through its veins. Since you're able to tame a Late Core Forging monster beast so obediently and have such confidence in raising young monsters, it's not hard to guess your identity."
When the woman saw that her identity as a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect had been exposed, the practitioner in front of her did not seem to mind. She knew that he was not lying. The Spirit Beast Sect was famous for being mysterious and vengeful in the cultivation world, but that was not the reason why the Spirit Beast Sect practitioners were not liked by the practitioners. The person in front of her did not have any conflict with her identity as a Spirit Beast Sect practitioner. It was obvious that this person's relationship with Senior Sang Yu was not bad.
When she thought of Senior Sang Yu, the woman's originally carefree expression finally showed a trace of embarrassment. Lu Ping found this funny, but how could he know that the woman thought that Lu Ping had already known her through Sang Yu? If that was the case, didn't it mean that Senior Sang Yu had already tacitly approved of their relationship?
She thought about how she had never received a direct response from Senior Brother Sang Yu despite all the painstaking efforts she had put in over the years. Due to her identity as a woman, she did not have the face to question Senior Brother Sang Yu to his face. She could only silently use her own actions to express her inner thoughts. However, Senior Brother Sang Yu had never responded to her. Now, she suddenly found out from Senior Brother Sang Yu's good friend that Senior Brother Sang Yu did not ignore her. This made the woman in front of her burst with joy. She thought to herself that it was worth it to follow Senior Brother Sang Yu from the Central Plains to the Western Wilderness.
Lu Ping did not know that his original guess had caused so many thoughts to flow through the woman's mind. However, he was unwilling to get entangled with this woman here. If Lu Ping's guess was correct, there should be someone with ulterior motives following behind her.
However, Lu Ping's speed was not slow along the way. If the person following him was not strong enough, they would have been thrown off long ago. However, anyone who could keep up with Lu Ping was likely not simple.
Lu Ping cupped his hands at the woman and said, "Since we've already made things clear, you should also know that I will not give up this tiger no matter what. I have some friendship with Senior Sang Yu, so how about we let this matter go? I still have important matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you any longer."
Lu Ping turned around and was about to leave when the woman suddenly thought of something. She hurriedly said, "Fellow Daoist, please wait. I am Wu Yinglan. May I ask how I should address you? Do you know where my Senior Sang is currently?"
Lu Ping was taken aback. He said, "My surname is Lu. I have met Senior Sang several times in Hebei and fought together with Senior Sang. I am quite impressed by Senior Sang's cultivation and strength. However, I do not know Senior Sang's whereabouts. From the looks of it, you should be from the same sect as Senior Sang. How come even you do not know Senior Sang's whereabouts?"
Wu Yinglan's face turned red when she heard this. Only now did she realize that the person before her and Senior Sang had only met by chance. Right now, he was merely testing her with words. She did not expect that she would actually take it seriously.
Wu Yinglan smiled and said, "Are you talking about Senior Lu Xuanping from the Ying Shan Immortal Academy that I met in the Lush Jade Swamp? Senior Sang's eyes are always at the top of his head, and he only admires Senior Lu Xuanping. I did not expect Senior Lu Xuanping to also come to the Western Wilderness. "
Lu Ping's heart stirred when he heard this, and he said, "Oh? Has Brother Sang also come to the Western Wilderness?"
Immediately after, Lu Ping seemed to think of something, and he asked in realization, "Is it because of the annihilation of the Hanging Eyes White Forehead Race?"
Although the Spirit Beast Taming Sect was famous for its military prowess, it was not well-liked by the humans and demons. This was why the disciples of the Spirit Beast Taming Sect kept a low profile despite their absolute strength.
There were two main reasons why the cultivators of the Spirit Beast Taming Sect were not well-liked. One of them was that whenever a demon race was annihilated, the Spirit Beast Taming Sect would immediately pounce on them like flies that had smelled fresh blood.
Although the extinction of these races was not due to the Spirit Beast Taming Sect, the Spirit Beast Taming Sect would wantonly search for the members of these races who were left behind when they were annihilated. To the outside world, this was to glorify the continuation of these races, but in reality, the members of these races had all become the subordinates of the cultivators of the Spirit Beast Taming Sect.
Both the humans and demons were famous in the world. How could the Spirit Beast Taming Sect expect the demons to be nice to them just because they captured and trained the cultivators of the Spirit Beast Taming Sect for nothing?
This time, the Hanging Eyes White Forehead Race was the first to bear the brunt of the disaster caused by Mara. Most of the high-level cultivators in the race died in battle, so some tiger demons who were left outside would definitely attract the great interest of the Spirit Beast Taming Sect. Moreover, the Hanging Eyes White Forehead Race was a top-level demon beast that inherited the bloodline of Taoist Hu, and could be said to be the most ideal spirit beast for the Spirit Beast Taming Sect.
In this case, as the most outstanding disciple of the Spirit Beast Taming Sect in this generation, it was naturally reasonable for Sang Yu to appear in the West Wilderness.
When Wuying Lan heard what Lu Ping said, how could she not know what Lu Ping was thinking, so she said, "Our sect has indeed sent many cultivators to the West Wilderness, but this time, Senior Brother Sang Yu is not here for the Hanging Eyes White Forehead Race. He already has the Primordial Giant Crocodile as his natal spirit pet and will advance to the Dharma Manifestation stage at any time. Although the Hanging Eyes White Forehead Race has a noble bloodline, it may not be stronger than the Primordial Giant Crocodile. This time, Senior Brother Sang Yu is actually here for Yuwen Feixiang. "
"Yuwen Feixiang?"
Lu Ping looked at the woman in front of him in great surprise and said, "Are the two going to fight again?"
Wuying Lan nodded and said, "A few years ago, they had a big battle. Although both sides were injured, Yuwen Feixiang actually had the upper hand. Senior Brother Sang Yu has always been arrogant, so how would he be willing to take advantage of others? Originally, Senior Brother Sang Yu was not among the people who entered the West Wilderness this time, but after hearing that the Yuwen family had sent cultivators to the West Wilderness to help the Western Wilderness Demon Clan resist the disaster caused by Mara, and that Yuwen Feixiang was also among them, I rushed here overnight."
When Lu Ping saw that Wuying Lan had said so much in one go, he knew that she most likely had something to ask of him, so he smiled and said, "Miss, if you have something that is difficult to say, feel free to say it. I have great respect for Senior Brother Sang, so if there is anything you need, I will definitely do my best!"
Wuying Lan's expression relaxed, clearly relieved. Lu Ping was astonished, but he was even more cautious inside. At present, there were many forces competing in the West Wilderness, and there was also a great enemy like Mara. If he was careless and ended up suffering a great loss, he shouldn't expect Zhenling to support him from behind.
When cultivators from the Spirit Beast Taming Sect went out to train, other than the first time they were accompanied by someone guided by the sect, they would be alone in the cultivation world for the rest of the time. Unless they were killed, it was very difficult for them to receive help from the sect.
In the battle between Sang Yu and Yuwen Feifei, Yuwen Feifei had the support of the Yuwen clan, while Sang Yu did not have the support of the Spirit Beast Taming Sect. When this woman found out that the person before her was actually Lu Xuanping, whom Sang Yu held in high esteem, she immediately thought of inviting people to help her senior brother.
Wuying Lan was just about to speak when she saw the expression in Lu Ping's eyes suddenly change, and she hurriedly bit down on the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She then heard Lu Ping say in a clear voice, "May I know which Fellow Daoist is here? Would you be willing to meet me? Hiding at the side will only cause others to look down on you!"
The woman's expression changed slightly. There was still someone following them at this time. It was clear that she had exposed herself, and Lu Ping had discovered her first. She naturally felt embarrassed, but then she thought that this also proved that this person was extremely powerful. Senior Sang Yu's words were not false. If she could persuade this person to help, Senior Sang Yu's battle with Yuwen Feifei would not be interrupted by external forces.
When Lu Ping saw that the hidden person still did not reveal himself, he sneered. A blue sword light suddenly appeared in the air several hundred feet away from Wuying Lan.
The sound of clothes tearing through the air could be heard, and an old man in his fifties who was dressed like a shopkeeper revealed himself in a rather sorry state. He flew several hundred feet back, but the front of his clothes was still cut by the sudden attack of the Netherwater Sword.
The old man's expression of fear and panic had not yet faded from his face. His hands were already forming a series of hand seals, and two spirit-connected magic treasures appeared in front of him. Then, as if he still felt uneasy, he swept a horsetail whisk in front of him, and the sword Qi of the Netherwater Sword that had followed him like a shadow was completely destroyed. It was a Spirit Nurturing magic treasure.
"Cultivator of the Western Wilderness Palace, may I ask how I should address you? Why are you secretly following me?"
Wuying Lan's expression darkened, and she opened her mouth to interrogate him aggressively.
The old man cast a glance at the baby tiger in front of Lu Ping, and laughed dryly. "Such a white-fronted baby tiger was actually bought by you for a hundred high-grade spirit stones. You've gone too far with your transaction. Are you trying to bully the Western Wilderness Palace because there is no one capable?"
"Hehe!"
Lu Ping sneered, and said, "Are you going back on your word? Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of the Western Wilderness Palace? "
Beside him, Wuying Lan was even more unbridled. "These words sound so new. Since when did your Western Wilderness Palace have someone? The thing I hate the most in my life is people who bully others with their power! "
The black panther under her feet roared at the old man in coordination. The old man's expression changed, but he did not make a mistake this time. He exclaimed, "Flying Cloud Panther, are you really from the Spirit Beast Taming Sect?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black panther had already turned into a bolt of black lightning, pouncing towards the old man.
The old man had already been frightened out of his wits by Lu Ping's elusive slash earlier. Seeing that the two of them were clearly in cahoots, he was also wary of the Spirit Beast Taming Sect's reputation. Thus, when he saw Wuying Lan make a move, he actually turned and fled.
This was out of Lu Ping's expectations. Although the Western Wilderness Palace was known as the number one human in the Western Wilderness, it had actually declined a long time ago, and its cultivators were mostly spineless people who took advantage of others' misfortune. Lu Ping had not believed it at first, but now it seemed that it was true.
