Lu Ping's realm wasn't just connected to the four spirits?
To many people, these words were very shocking. Not just connected to the four spirits, but to the five spirits as well? The seventh expert with five spirits in the present age? That youth?
Other than Qin Chuan and Qin Qi, everyone else in the assembly hall was shocked when they heard Ku Zhu's last words. But when they turned their heads to look at the destroyed front courtyard and courtyard, and the scene of the slaughter in the assembly hall, the conclusion that Lu Ping had connected to the five spirits didn't seem so hard to accept.
Qin Chuan and Qin Qi were very calm when they heard these words. When Qin Sang cried out, Qin Qi gently placed Ku Zhu on the ground and glanced at his father.
Lu Ping wasn't just connected to the four spirits.
Those who had seen him and Lu Chenfeng clash had long since guessed this, but no one could make a definite judgment. Lu Ping's strength of spirit was so fast that it was fleeting. No one could get any accurate information from him. Moreover, Lu Chenfeng had always been cultivating in seclusion. He had no real combat experience, and the battle of Big Dipper had proved this point. Although he had crushed everyone with his realm, perhaps Lu Ping had only seemed to be able to match Lu Chenfeng because his abilities just happened to be able to deal with the methods of Lu Chenfeng's realm? Many people had guessed this.
And the Qin family knew one more secret than many others — Robber's secret.
This expert, one of the six great experts of the present age, actually hadn't connected to the five spirits. No one had the chance to investigate this point after Guo Youdao's death.
Only the Qin family had seen through this point because Qin Qi had personally fought with Guo Youdao. The reason they cared so much about these wanted criminals was because they cared deeply about Robber's secret. Guo Youdao was no longer here, so the only people in the world who might know something were those who had been with Robber at the last moment.
Thus, Lu Ping's performance had given the Qin family another possibility — perhaps he had already grasped Robber's secret and grasped the same ability as Robber.
But this time, Ku Zhu had used his own life as the price, using his own flesh and blood to personally experience the power of Lu Ping's spirit, and finally gave an answer with absolute certainty.
It definitely wasn't just the four spirits that were connected. That also meant that Lu Ping was not a thief, nor was he a fake. His realm had truly reached the realm of connecting the five spirits.
The weight of this sentence was not to be underestimated. Just based on this sentence, even though Lu Ping's act of barging into Dark Army City was still very arrogant, it was not so brainless. Just based on this sentence, the Qin family would have to abandon some of the possibilities they once thought about Lu Ping. With this sentence alone, the Qin family was no match for Lu Ping.
Fortunately, he left.
At this moment, Qin Chuan's heart was filled with joy.
"He went to the Protectorate Nation?" Qin Chuan asked.
"Su Tang is there," Qin Qi replied.
Qin Chuan did not say anything else. Su Tang was a wanted criminal in the Dark Army Empire. This was actually outside the scope of the Council's responsibility, but because the matter had arisen because of them, it was not out of place for them to be involved. That was why the Council had spent a great deal of effort to help when Xiabong Castellan exterminated Nightingale, and in the end, Su Tang had been taken into their custody. The real reason was only to find out the thief's secret.
But it had been some time since they had caught Su Tang, and they had used all their methods to no avail. To them, Su Tang was of little value. He was tasteless, but it would be a pity to abandon him.
At this time, handing Su Tang over to the Protectorate Nation was not a good idea. However, Qin Qi, who had handed over Su Tang, might not have had such a smooth idea. Qin Chuan knew his son well. He probably did not have any ulterior motives when handing over Su Tang. He was just doing his duty. If he really had the intention of diverting the trouble, the Council would not have suffered such a great loss.
"Clean up." Qin Chuan suddenly said. His order was actually this kind of trivial matter.
"Lu Ping said he would find second brother again," Qin Sang hurriedly said.
"That is the Protectorate Nation." Qin Chuan smiled, "If he can get in, he can get out."
Qin Chuan was still confident in the Protectorate Nation, even if Lu Ping had opened all five spirits. Ever since the emergence of the six great experts, the three great empires and the four great academies were still the rulers of this continent and the cultivation world. This was because their strength wasn't something that could be destroyed by a single expert who had connected all five of their spirits and souls. And in the Dark Army Empire, this strength was represented by the Protectorate Nation.
On the streets of Dark Army City.
The hunt for Lu Ping had not stopped. Because Lu Ping had gone straight to the Council without any disguise. His tracks were not hidden. The Nine Gates Patrol Division and even the head of the Warden's Office, Wei Ping Qian, had received a continuous stream of reports of his movements. When pieced together, they formed a clear route.
But Lu Ping's movements were too fast. None of the obstacles he encountered could slow him down. As a result, no one had been able to arrive in time to help him.
It was the same this time. Not long after Lu Ping left the Council, the admiral of the Nine Gates Patrol Division, Wei Ping Yi, personally led a large group of people over. When they saw the mess in the courtyard, they were somewhat dazed.
The reports on Lu Ping's whereabouts stopped here. After that, there was no more news. Had Lu Ping already been taken down by the Council?
Wei Ping stepped into the courtyard. Separated by two large ruins, he looked towards the Council's meeting hall. He saw Qin Chuan, Qin Qi, and a few people from the Council. But he did not see the youth who broke into the city.
Wei Ping quickened his pace. In the blink of an eye, he had passed through the front yard and the courtyard. He stood outside the meeting hall.
The hall was filled with the stench of blood. The blood on the floor was spreading along the cracks between the tiles. Qin Chuan had ordered to clean up, but there was no time to do so.
With a glance at the people in the hall, Wei Ping Yi knew that the Council had not been able to keep Lu Ping.
"Lord Qin." He greeted Qin Chuan in the hall.
"Lord Wei." Qin Chuan naturally had to respond.
"Where is Lu Ping?" Wei Ping Yi did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
"The Protectorate Nation." There was no need for Qin Chuan to hide anything.
"What does he want to do?" Wei Ping Yi asked.
"To save someone." Qin Chuan said.
"The criminal you captured from the Gorge Peak District two months ago?" Wei Pingyi asked.
"Yes." Qin Chuan nodded.
"Just for this one person?" Wei Ping Yi was a little doubtful.
"What does Lord Wei think?" Qin Chuan asked.
That's right. To become enemies with an entire nation just for one person. Even Qin Chuan found it hard to believe. Even if it was an expert who had opened his five spirits, there would not be anyone who would be so straightforward.
Back then, when Yan Qiu Ci brought Siffin back from the Canyon Peak Mountain, he had only done so to show his might. He had never held a knife to anyone's neck. His attitude was already enough. The Black Army Empire had received his signal, and the order for Siffin's arrest had been vaguely left unsettled.
In the eyes of Qin Chuan, Wei Ping Yi, and the others, this method of doing things was the most mature and correct. They were experts in the cultivation world, but they, who had been caught up in the whirlpool of power, understood that using force to solve problems was the most inferior method. It was the most strenuous and unrewarding method.
But that was exactly what Lu Ping had done. He had charged into Black Army City without even saying a word. Even if they were willing to negotiate now, would the Wei family, who had lost a son, agree? Would the factions behind the people he had killed along the way agree? So many of the Council's brothers had died. Would the Qin family agree?
They could not.
Being pushed to this point, even if they wanted to, they could not. Human lives might not be precious in their eyes, but dignity was something they, who were in power, could not be touched no matter what. What Lu Ping was trampling on was their dignity. All for one person.
"That person was brought back by your Council of Overseers." Wei Ping abruptly dropped this sentence and left.
