Lei Jian and the other two did not know why Lu Ping would ask such a question, but Lei Jian still answered, "Brother Lu, this matter is not within the conditions that we agreed to. We will never admit to this ambush after this, so it's better that you don't know. Moreover, according to the news, the messenger from Wuxing School will only arrive after a day. Brother Lu, please be patient."
Unexpectedly, Lu Ping did not listen to Lei Jian's words at all. He continued to ask in a low voice, "Who is it? Could it be the Storm Swordsman, Xiahou Wushang?"
Lei Jian's face turned ugly when he heard Lu Ping's repeated questions. It was Yun Jian who knew that Lu Ping was not such a reckless person. He quickly asked, "Brother Lu, how did you know it was Fourth Senior Brother? However, the person who ambushed the messenger from Wuxing School with us this time was not Fourth Senior Brother."
Lu Ping's face turned ugly and he sighed. "I'm afraid it's not going to be as you wish this time. The Storm Swordsman is currently facing off with Fan Yuqing more than ten miles away."
"What?"
"Brother Lu can sense the situation more than ten miles away?"
Thunder Sword and Lightning Sword were both taken aback as they looked at Lu Ping in disbelief.
"Brother Lu, are you really at the ninth level of the Core Forging Realm?"
Yun Jian had already guessed something when Lu Ping asked. After all, Lu Ping was not such a reckless person. However, after hearing what Lu Ping had said, he could only laugh helplessly.
Just as Yun Jian finished speaking, there was a sudden explosion more than ten miles away. Immediately after, a strong wave of spiritual energy came from the source of the explosion.
Although the illusion array that Yun Jian had set up was more than ten miles away from the battle, the increasingly strong spiritual energy storm swept over, causing the fog formed by the illusion array to become thinner and thinner. It seemed that the array would not be able to hold for much longer.
Lu Ping's expression grew more and more serious as he used his divine will to sense the battle that had erupted more than ten miles away. Waves of shock surged in his heart. This was a true battle between Dharma adepts. That Wind and Cloud Swordsman and Fan Yuqing were indeed the cream of the crop among the third generation of disciples in the central plains.
They were both early Dharma adepts. Even though Lu Ping had fought against Dharma adepts many times before, if Lu Ping were to really go up against one of the two, he knew that he would have no chance of winning. However, if Lu Ping were to escape, the other party would not be able to keep him.
Of course, it also depended on luck. If he was unlucky, even if Lu Ping could escape from the enemy, he would still be injured.
Although Lu Ping had previously exchanged a blow with Fan Yuqing in the Yingyu Swamp, it was obvious that Fan Yuqing had not used his full strength at that time. Furthermore, in the past few years, Fan Yuqing's abilities must have improved significantly.
"Oh no, if the two of them fight, the envoy from Wuxing School will not leave through here. Won't the ambush that we have set up here be of no use?"
Lei Jian said anxiously.
"This is a good opportunity. Let's work together to help Fourth Senior Brother kill Fan Yuqing first. This way, even if we are unable to kill the envoy from Wuxing School, this trip will not be in vain."
Lei Jian's opinion was the exact opposite of Lei Jian's.
"Fan Yuqing is not that easy to kill. If he can't win, he can escape. Even if we work together with Fourth Senior Brother to defeat him, it will be impossible for us to kill him."
Lei Jian wanted to say something more, but Yunjian raised his hand to stop the two of them from arguing. He said, "Stop arguing. This fight between the two of them will not stop anytime soon. Let's wait here first. If I am not wrong, Third Senior Brother will be here soon. When that time comes, Third Senior Brother will join forces with Fourth Senior Brother to launch a pincer attack. We will stand guard outside and prevent Fan Yuqing from escaping.
This matter will most likely succeed! "" Haha, Second Brother, you have forgotten about the message charm that I sent out earlier. The three of us are now the patrolmen of the sect, and we have the Mirror Lake Charm that can directly send messages to the Tianxuan Mirror Lake. I am afraid that by now, our sect's Laozu already knows about Fan Yuqing. Is he afraid that our sect will not be able to deal with him? "
Yun Jian chuckled and said unhurriedly.
Lei Jian also laughed and said, "I have forgotten about this. Perhaps our sect's Laozu is rushing over now. If that is the case, all the more we cannot show ourselves now, in case we alarm Fan Yuqing and escape. It is a pity that this place is more than ten miles away from the battle between Fourth Senior Brother and Fan Yuqing. We will not be able to watch a peak battle. I have not seen Fourth Senior Brother in action for a long time, and I wonder what level his strength has reached."
In just a few words, the Three Rushing Thunder Swords were relieved. However, Lu Ping, who was standing to one side, was even more worried. Why would Fan Yuqing choose this place to fight Xiahou Wu Shang? Was it a coincidence or was it premeditated?
If it was a coincidence, then it would be fine. However, if it was premeditated, then Fan Yuqing would definitely have someone behind him to support him. Then, when the support from both sides met, it would definitely be another large-scale battle. Moreover, it would be a large-scale battle between Dharma adepts. If he was involved, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Lu Ping looked at the excited expressions of the Three Rushing Thunder Swords around him. No matter what, he could not bring himself to withdraw now. Lu Ping could only secretly hope that what he had guessed would not happen.
As if to confirm Lu Ping's guess, a long whistle sounded, and the Three Rushing Thunder Swords saw a beam of light cut through the sky from afar, leaving a long, unextinguished beam of light in the sky. The beam of light had already rushed into the battle between the two sides.
A magnificent beam of Sword Qi seemed to have been easily suppressed, and it struggled to stand upright again. Unfortunately, before the beam of light that had just raised its head could display its elegance, it was once again suppressed by the beam of light falling from the sky and the golden cloud that was already in confrontation with the Sword Qi.
"Who is it?"
The original confidence of the Three Rushing Thunder Swords froze on their faces. Although their Divine Will could not penetrate the battlefield tens of miles away like Lu Ping could, and they could not see the beam of light that represented Xiahou Wushang being suppressed by the newcomer and Fan Yuqing, from the direction of the beam of light, the three of them could guess that the newcomer was an enemy and not a friend.
"Why is Third Brother not here yet?"
"Although this is done by us third generation disciples, without the permission of the elders in the sect, we would not dare to kill the messenger from the holy land. Even if we did, we would not be able to deal with the aftermath. Third Brother must have the support of the second generation Laozu or even the first generation Laozu before he would come. Don't worry, as long as Third Brother comes, then he will definitely follow the elders of the sect, and it will at least be two mid Dharma Laozu."
Although Fan Yuqing's death had nothing to do with Lu Ping, the battlefield was too close to where they were hiding. The Three Rushing Thunder Swords could not detect the situation tens of miles away, but it did not mean that Fan Yuqing and the others would not be able to detect them.
The other party had deliberately planned to kill Xiahou Wushang, and after the deed was done, they would definitely carefully investigate the surroundings of the battlefield and kill anyone who might be in the know.
"Then who exactly is supporting your plan from behind the scenes?"
Lu Ping could not help but ask.
The Thunder Sword and the Lightning Sword both looked at Yun Jian, who was silent for a while until there was another shocking explosion from afar, directly dispersing half of the fog that was shrouding the illusory formation. Only then did he say, "It's the first elder of the sect, Qing Li Laozu!"
Lu Ping's expression changed as he looked in the direction of the battle. "Xiahou Wushang is retreating!"
The Three Rushing Thunder Swords perked up and looked into the distance. Although they could not see the situation on the battlefield clearly, the three of them still hoped that Xiahou Wushang would retreat as soon as possible.
However, Lu Ping still felt that something was wrong. Since the other party had set up this trap, there was no reason for them to let Xiahou Wushang retreat so easily.
Indeed, a streak of light like a shooting star cut through the sky once again, and the sword light that had just broken free from the suppression of the two soaring halos was once again trapped in the halos. This time, there were three halos.
This time, even if the Three Rushing Thunder Swords could not see clearly, they knew that Xiahou Wushang was in danger.
"Brother Lu, please lend us a hand!"
Yun Jian did not even think as he turned to plead with Lu Ping.
Although the Three Rushing Thunder Swords were confident that the three of them could fight against an early Dharma adept, they did not have much chance of winning against a top early Dharma adept like Fan Yuqing. At most, they would only be able to resist for a while.
However, if they had Lu Ping's help, the result would be a different matter. The Three Rushing Thunder Swords clearly remembered that time in the Yingyu Swamp, Lu Ping's sudden attack had caused Fan Yuqing to be very afraid, and thus allowed the three of them to escape from Fan Yuqing's pursuit.
As long as the four of them worked together to fight against one person, the remaining two would at most be able to severely injure Xiahou Wushang.
Lu Ping was still hesitating, but Yun Jian said, "Brother Lu, although the Thunder Punishment Aqua is precious, I believe that our sect must have some in reserve. If we can save Brother Xiahou this time, our sect's Laozu will definitely not be stingy with a portion of the Thunder Punishment Aqua!"
Lu Ping naturally knew that for a sect like the Tianxuan Sect that had existed for thousands of years, even if they went around asking for the Thunder Punishment Aqua, it did not mean that the sect did not have any. Moreover, it was rumored that the Tianxuan Sect had no less than 20 Dharma adepts, and there were four late Dharma adepts. Lu Ping did not believe that none of these Laozu would be able to condense a few drops of the Thunder Punishment Aqua when they went through the Thunder Punishment.
Moreover, what Lu Ping was after was not just a few drops of the Thunder Punishment Aqua. Although Xiahou Wushang was only a third generation disciple of the Tianxuan Sect, his status in the sect must be extremely high. If he really owed Lu Ping a life-saving debt, it would not be easy to repay such a favor.
Amidst the clanging sounds, the Beautiful Autumn Waters Sword circled around Lu Ping. The Three Rushing Thunder Swords looked delighted, and Yun Jian immediately said, "There's no time to lose. The three of us will go first. Brother Lu, wait for an opportunity to act!"
Three beams of light shot up into the sky, while Lu Ping retracted all his aura. The Five Elements Cloak of Cloudlight was draped over his body, and he also turned into a faint cloud mist, blending into the gradually dissipating illusory matrix and dispersing with the wind.
In the secret chamber of the Tianxuan Mirror Lake, Qing Li Laozu's face was ashen as he looked at the two transmission talismans floating in the spiritual essence milk. With the power of his magical powers, he did not need to pick up the two talismans to know the contents of the talismans.
The Crystal Palace's treasured ship had already reached the shore, but the place where it stopped was not in the dock that was within the Tianxuan Sect's sphere of influence. Instead, it was on a desolate coast tens of thousands of miles away from the Tianxuan Sect. A group of people from the Crystal Palace had changed their clothes and were disguised as envoys of the Seven Fan Laozu's Pure Yang Spell Assembly, heading towards the Tianxuan Mountain.
