Yuan Xuanzhan took the lead, followed by two more rays of light. These two rays of light belonged to Tian Shu Laozu's two disciples, both of whom were at the Core Forging stage.
Behind them were two more rays of light. These two rays of light looked very solid. Obviously, they were stronger than the first three rays of light, but for some reason, they were lagging behind Yuan Xuanzhan's group.
One of the last two rays of light was none other than Daoist Master Xuansu, whom Lu Ping was familiar with.
Daoist Master Xuansu was Tian Shu Laozu's eldest disciple, and also a disciple that Tian Shu Laozu valued as his successor. She was also a well-known cultivator among the third generation disciples of Zhenling. Although she was slightly inferior to Daoist Master Xuantian, she was still one of Zhenling's direct disciples. Otherwise, she would not have been one of the seven people who accompanied Tian Qin Laozu to the Fantasy Spirit City Auction.
However, Daoist Master Xuansu's heart was very tangled at this time. He was now at the peak of the seventh stage of the Core Forging stage, and his status in Zhenling was even higher than some of the second generation cultivators in the late Core Forging stage. He knew some of the secrets of Zhenling's higher-ups, and he had some guesses and analysis about his teacher's current situation.
Moreover, he had been in contact with Lu Ping for a period of time. He knew that this little junior brother of theirs, who had less than a hundred years of cultivation time than them, was really not easy to deal with. Not only did he have endless trump cards in his hands, but he was also no weaker than anyone else.
Tian Qin Laozu was so arrogant in Zhenling that there was almost no junior disciple that she would take seriously, not to mention that he was the disciple of Liu Tianling's Martial Uncle. However, this Junior Brother Lu dared to go toe to toe with Tian Qin Laozu on Jing Zhe Island. At that time, he was only at the middle Core Forging stage, but the final result was even more shocking. The two had clashed several times, and it seemed that in the end, Lu Ping had the upper hand, which finally made Tian Qin Laozu look at him in a different light.
From Enlightened Master Xuan Su's point of view, a person like Lu Ping would never act rashly in a fit of anger. He would only act calmly after planning.
This time, Lu Ping had challenged his teacher, Tian Shu Laozu, the moment he returned to Huang Li Island. This Junior Brother Lu must have a trump card that no one knew about. Even if he couldn't turn defeat into victory, he could at least make it so that no one could do anything to the other.
However, one should not forget that Tian Shu Laozu was still a Dharma adept after all. If they really reached a point where neither of them could do anything to the other, even if neither of them suffered any losses, Tian Shu Laozu would still lose.
The North Sea practitioners would not say that Lu Ping was taking advantage of Zhenling. They would only say that a dignified Dharma adept could not handle a junior practitioner in the Core Forging stage.
Needless to say, after this battle, Lu Xuanping's name as the "Aqua Sword Deity" would definitely become even more famous in Zhenling.
Beside Enlightened Master Xuan Su was another second-generation adept of Zhenling, Enlightened Master Xuan Chang. He was already at the ninth level of the Core Forging stage and was once in charge of Zhenling's criminal law. He could be considered a second-generation adept of Zhenling.
Like Enlightened Master Tian Shu, he was also an opponent of Zhenling's centralization of power. In the past, he was also one of the masterminds behind Enlightened Master Liu Xuanling's downfall from his position as a deacon.
At this moment, Enlightened Master Xuan Chang's face was filled with worry. His worry stemmed from an unintentional warning from Fornax Laozu.
Enlightened Master Xuan Chang was like Enlightened Master Xuan Shu before he entered the Dharma stage. He could be said to be one of the few people who were second only to Zhenling's "Three Truths and Four Spirits".
It was just that Enlightened Master Xuan Shu's luck was much better than the others. He was only a few decades behind the "Three Truths and Four Spirits" before he successfully entered the Dharma stage.
Enlightened Master Xuan Chang, on the other hand, did not have the same luck as Enlightened Master Xuan Shu. He could only practice step by step. As such, it was extremely difficult to condense a Golden Core of the seventh grade and above. It was even more difficult to condense a Dharma Power.
After Enlightened Master Xuan Chang had come out of seclusion to guard Huang Li Island, Enlightened Master Xuan Chang had once gone to consult Fornax Laozu to see if there was any way to help him smelt a heaven-level spirit object and condense a Golden Core of the seventh grade. This way, he would be able to fight for his Dharma Power in the future.
At that time, Fornax Laozu had hinted to Enlightened Master Xuan Chang not to get involved in the affairs of Huang Li Island. In his words, he had hinted that whether or not he could smelt a heaven-level spirit object and condense a Golden Core of the seventh grade depended on Enlightened Master Lu Xuanping.
However, at that time, Enlightened Master Xuan Chang did not care. He was only overjoyed because Fornax Laozu had said that he still had hope of advancing to the Dharma stage.
As for the method to condense a Golden Core of the seventh grade, other than finding a suitable heaven-level spirit object, it was nothing more than a secret pill. Since Enlightened Master Lu Xuanping could make it, then Uncle-Master Fornax and Junior Sister Tianqin could naturally do it as well. Could it be that these two experienced alchemists could not compare to Enlightened Master Lu Xuanping?
However, he had no choice but to regret it now. He had been a part of the upper echelons of Zhenling for many years. Although because of the expansion of the number of Dharma adepts in Zhenling, he had lost the right to participate in many of the decisions of Zhenling. However, his hundreds of years of knowledge and experience allowed him to finally see that Huang Li Island was actually a trap. A trap that Liu Tianling Laozu had dug for Senior Brother Tian Shu in order to completely control Zhenling and unify all the opposing voices in Zhenling.
This pair of master and disciple, one in the light and one in the dark, cooperated with each other and had a tacit understanding. Senior Brother Tian Shu had probably already realized this the moment he started to fight for control of Huang Li Island. However, at that time, he had no choice but to jump into this trap. Moreover, Senior Brother Tian Shu did not believe that this trap could really bury him.
Why? Because of her disciple, Lu Xuanping?
Tian Shu Laozu's cold smile was still deeply engraved in Enlightened Master Xuan Chang's mind. However, the scene in front of him was still vivid in his mind. The cunning and astute Liu Tianling really did rely on her disciple!
What a good Liu Tianling, what a good Water Sword Immortal!
Yuan Xuanzhan's escape light suddenly stopped, and then the other escape lights also stopped. Enlightened Master Xuan Chang did not understand what was going on. When he looked up, he saw that in front of the door of Lu Ping's cave, there was a burly, bald man looking at them with a mocking expression.
Enlightened Master Xuan Chang scanned the man with his divine sense and was stunned. The person in front of him was actually a peak Core Forging cultivator.
Without waiting for Enlightened Master Xuan Chang's reminder, Yuan Xuanzhan, who was in front of him, stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you block the way again?"
The bald man stared at Yuan Xuanzhan in amusement for a while, then said, "It's really funny. The few of you want to barge into my master's cave residence, yet you still ask who I am indiscriminately. Are you out of your mind?"
This bald man was naturally the lone killer Lei Laoliu, Lei Di from the Central Plains.
Lu Ping naturally knew that Enlightened Master Xuan Chang wasn't the only one guarding Huang Li Island. There were bound to be other disciples under his command. Hence, he left Sixth Brother Lei behind to guard the cave-dwelling to prevent Tian Shu Grand Ancestor's disciples from stealing the cave-dwelling when he was busy fighting with Tian Shu Grand Ancestor.
Only now did Yuan Xuanzhan notice that the person in front of him was actually a peak Core Forging cultivator. A murderous aura rushed towards him. He didn't know how many people this person had killed, but Yuan Xuanzhan, who had already advanced to the middle stage of Core Forging, knew that he was definitely not this person's opponent. He wanted to say a few tough words, but he was overwhelmed by the murderous aura.
At this time, Enlightened Master Xuan Su suddenly took a step forward and stood in front of Yuan Xuanzhan. "You must be joking. With your cultivation, how could you have reached the point of becoming someone's slave?"
Lei Laoliu smiled bitterly and pointed at the group fighting in the sky. "Didn't he even dare to fight with Dharma Xiang Laozu? What's so strange about me acknowledging him as my master?"
Although Enlightened Master Xuan Su was unwilling, she still said, "Please step aside. This is my, Zhenling's, matter. This cave must be taken back. Although you are strong, this is my, Zhenling's, territory. If there is a conflict, even Junior Brother Xuan Ping may not be able to protect you!"
"Hehe!"
Lei Laoliu sneered disdainfully and did not say anything. He looked at Yuan Xuanzhan and the others with undisguised ridicule. It was obvious that he was mocking them for overestimating themselves.
It wasn't just Enlightened Master Xuan Su who was furious. Behind her, Enlightened Master Xuanchang was also slightly angered. This was Zhenling's territory. How dare an outsider behave atrociously here!
Yuan Xuanzhan was the first to lose his cool. Although he was only a mid Core Forging cultivator, he knew that the person in front of him was clearly not a Zhenling cultivator. As long as he could provoke a melee, no matter how strong this person was, Zhenling would never side with an outsider. Perhaps he could even accuse Lu Xuanping of colluding with an external enemy.
As the saying goes, evil breeds courage. Yuan Xuanzhan stretched out his hand and pushed Lei Laoliu. "How dare you! Zhenling is not a place where you can behave atrociously!"
Enlightened Master Xuan Su was shocked. Just as she was about to stop him, Yuan Xuanzhan had already made his move. A giant spiritual palm formed in front of him and slammed towards Lei Laoliu.
As soon as Yuan Xuanzhan made his move, the two disciples of Tian Shu Laozu also made their moves. Enlightened Master Xuan Su and Enlightened Master Xuanchang had no choice but to make their move.
When Lei Laoliu saw that the person in front of him was really going to attack him, a murderous look flashed across his face.
Although Lu Ping had ordered him to guard the cave, he hadn't told him to hurt anyone. Lei Laoliu had only appeared outside the cave because he wanted to use his peak Core Forging cultivation to force the person in front of him to retreat.
He never thought that these people in front of him would be so arrogant. A few mid Core Forging Minor Repairs dared to attack him. Did they really think that everyone in the cultivation world was Lu Xuanping?
Yuan Xuanzhan was secretly pleased with himself when he heard Enlightened Master Xuanchang and Enlightened Master Xuansu cry out, "Watch out!"
A gust of cold wind blew past Yuan Xuanzhan's ear. Before he could understand what was going on, he felt his body tighten. The true essence in his blood vessels was completely sealed.
Yuan Xuanzhan was scared out of his wits. When he looked up to see what was going on, his vision went black. Then, he felt a sharp pain, followed by a feeling of being in the clouds. After that, he didn't know anything else.
