"That's right. A core elder of our house did go missing after entering this valley. It seems that he must've discovered the elves' secret and was killed to silence him."
"The fact that the elven assassin was able to kill that elder means that he's at least a level eight peerless immortal. If that's the case, why would he run away from us?"
Zhu Han nodded his head and agreed with that person's words. However, he also had some doubts in his heart. Hence, he voiced it out.
Although the four of them were peerless immortals, the one with the highest cultivation — the handsome young man — was merely a fifth level peerless immortal. The other three were fourth level peerless immortals.
If the elven expert was an eighth level peerless immortal or above, he wouldn't have needed to hide from them at all. Even if the four of them worked together, they wouldn't be a match for an eighth level peerless immortal.
"Perhaps the elven expert was afraid of attracting stronger enemies if he delayed too long. Or perhaps he didn't want his people to be harmed."
"Regardless, the elves have fled. Our trip this time was in vain. I thought we'd be able to obtain a treasure, but it turned out to be a waste of time."
The middle-aged woman said.
"That's right. Given our strength, there's no way we can pinpoint the coordinates of their escape. We can only return home now."
Zhu Han said.
"There's less than twenty years until that operation. When the time comes, a great war will erupt in the immortal realm. Let's go back and make preparations."
The black-robed old man said.
Thus, the four of them looked at their surroundings again, and then they turned into streaks of light and left this place without looking back. In the Sacred Light Forest, there were still many cultivators with lower cultivations who were still trying to break the formation.
The four of them flew above the forest and reported the situation to the members of their respective factions. Then, all of them retreated with regret.
The Holy Light Forest suddenly fell into silence. Without the existence of the elves, it would soon fall under the jurisdiction of other forces.
… …
Light flashed in a corner of the void and the exit of a spatial passage appeared. Luo Ping, Zhu Han, and the rest of the elves flew out.
As soon as they appeared in the void, Kong Haotian controlled the Holy Light Crystal and sucked all the elves into it.
At this time, Luo Ping and the other two began to size up the situation below. As far as their eyes could see, they could see an extremely wide ocean with rippling blue waves and rolling waves.
"This place … If I remember correctly, this should be the Demonic Shark Sea. Countless demonic sharks gather here, and the Demonic Shark King is a peerless immortal."
"Additionally, there are also many Demonic Sharks at the Gold Immortal stage. This Demonic Shark Sea is also a second-class force. Additionally, it is a formidable second-class force. Some of the surrounding forces would not casually provoke it."
"This Demon Shark Sea is still under the jurisdiction of the Bai Clan. However, it is at least a billion miles away from the valley that we were in before."
"I really didn't expect Senior An Ya to be able to teleport us so far away under such circumstances."
Recognizing their location, Zhu Ying explained the situation to Luo Ping and Kong Haotian. She was surprised by High Priest An Ya's methods.
"Senior An Ya used to be an immortal lord, so it's only natural that she would have some tricks up her sleeve. Since Senior Zhu recognizes this place, you should know which second-class immortal city is the closest, right?"
Luo Ping asked.
If they wanted to return to the Nimble Divine Sect, they had to enter the nearest second-class immortal city first. After all, only second-class immortal cities had long-distance teleportation formations.
"Of course. Let's go."
With that, Zhu Ying turned into a streak of light and flew away. Luo Ping and Kong Haotian immediately followed.
The three of them quickly arrived at the nearest second-class immortal city. They didn't stop at all and headed straight for the teleportation formation. After all, they were worried that other experts would discover their secrets.
Although Zhu Ying had returned to her physical body, her current cultivation base wasn't enough for her to return to the Zhu Clan for revenge. Therefore, she had to leave for the time being and wait until her cultivation base was high enough to return for revenge.
Fortunately, they didn't encounter any accidents until they left through the teleportation formation. Only then did they feel relieved.
In Nangong City, Luo Ping and the other two immediately flew back to the Nimble Divine Sect after exiting the teleportation formation. Zhu Ying also followed behind.
After returning to the Nimble Divine Sect, Luo Ping led the two back to the Xinghe Peak. Coincidentally, they met Hao Xinghe who had just exited his seclusion.
"Master!"
Luo Ping said with a smile.
"Your … your cultivation base …"
"Hahaha, I really didn't misjudge you. Your cultivation base has increased by so much after going out and coming back. Even with my vast knowledge, I've never seen such a rapid increase in cultivation base."
"Looks like you must have encountered some kind of fortuitous encounter outside. This is really hard to believe."
After sensing Luo Ping's cultivation base, Hao Xinghe's face was filled with shock and disbelief. After a moment, he laughed out loud and praised Luo Ping.
"Master, you flatter me. However, you've guessed correctly. This disciple did have a fortuitous encounter that allowed my cultivation base to increase by so much."
"By the way, Master, these two are my friends. This is the outstanding disciple of the Kong Clan, Kong Haotian. I'm sure you've heard of him."
"This is Zhu Ying from the second-class Zhu Clan, which is under the jurisdiction of the Bai Clan. She was framed by her own clan members and was severely injured. Luckily, she managed to escape and was saved by me. In order to avoid her clan members, she followed me to the Immortal Sect."
After a moment of modesty, Luo Ping introduced Kong Haotian and Zhu Ying to Hao Xinghe.
After all, the Zhu Clan where Zhu Ying was from was far away from the Exquisite Divine Sect. Naturally, Hao Xinghe wouldn't know about the Zhu Clan. Therefore, when Luo Ping introduced Zhu Ying, it was half true and half false.
"I've heard that the outstanding disciple of the Kong Clan, Kong Haotian, is only a Level 9 False Immortal. But now, this Kong Haotian is a Level 4 Profound Immortal. Could it be that he also had a fortuitous encounter like you?"
Hao Xinghe looked at Kong Haotian and asked Luo Ping.
"Master, you're right. Big Brother Kong and I had a fortuitous encounter together."
Luo Ping replied.
"No wonder. It seems like you're both people with great fortune."
"Fellow Daoist Zhu's cultivation has reached Level 5 Golden Immortal. He must be an inner elder of the Zhu Clan. It's really a pity that he was framed by his own clan."
"Since Fellow Daoist Zhu and my disciple are acquainted, then you can stay on my Xinghe Peak to cultivate. I believe that the cultivation environment here won't disappoint Fellow Daoist Zhu."
Hao Xinghe said to Zhu Ying.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Hao. Then I won't be polite and will stay. I hope you can forgive me for disturbing you."
Zhu Ying said.
"Ah, Fellow Daoist Zhu is too polite."
"Well, I still have some matters to attend to. I'll take my leave first."
After saying that, Hao Xinghe left the Xinghe Peak. Seeing this, Luo Ping asked Zhu Ying to find a cave residence to cultivate in. He and Kong Haotian went to find Jin Nan and the others.
…
"You two perverts. How did I get to know friends like you? I've lost all my confidence. I've been beaten black and blue all over by you. I'm mentally and physically exhausted."
"Ah, comparisons are odious. I beg you, please don't torture us in this way."
"Erm, can we break off our friendship? I don't want to see you again. "
…
On a mountain peak, Jin Nan and the others looked at Luo Ping and Kong Haotian in front of them. After a long time of shock, they opened their mouths one by one to express their anger and dissatisfaction.
Luo Ping and Kong Haotian's cultivation speed had exceeded their scope of understanding. It was hard for them to accept and they were greatly shocked. They wished that they had never met Luo Ping and Kong Haotian.
"It's too late to break off our friendship now. You'd better continue to endure."
Luo Ping said with a smile.
When Jin Nan and the others heard this, they shook their heads helplessly. After a while, everyone's expressions returned to normal.
"Since we can't get rid of them, we can only continue to endure."
"You've come back just in time. They're about to return to Min City to get married."
Jin Nan sighed and then pointed at Liao Chengyun and Min Yi.
"Oh?"
"Then we'll have to attend."
Luo Ping said with a smile.
Then, everyone began to talk. The conversation only ended after an hour. The next day, they left Ling Long Divine Sect and returned to Min City to attend the wedding ceremony of Liao Chengyun and Min Yi.
…
Min City, Min Clan.
Including Min Shixiong, everyone in the Min Clan, whether it was the guest elders, inner sect elders, core elders, or the generals and immortal generals of the various stars, were all shocked by this fact.
Ever since Luo Ping and the others returned to Min City, the news of his cultivation base rising to the Xuan Celestial Stage spread quickly in Min City, causing quite a stir.
Those who knew about Luo Ping's identity naturally knew about Luo Ping's cultivation speed. Those who did not know about Luo Ping were also shocked after some inquiries.
While they were shocked, they were also very excited. After all, Min City had never had a Xuan Celestial Stage expert, which was why it was ranked at the bottom among the C-grade Celestial Cities.
Now, Luo Ping had advanced to the Xuan Celestial Stage.
Without a doubt, he had become the most powerful person in Min City. He could be considered as Min City's backer.
As a result, the other D-grade Celestial Cities, such as Kui Xin City and Yuangu City, did not dare to plot against Min City anymore.
After all, even a Level-1 Xuan Celestial could easily kill many Level-9 False Immortals. Moreover, Luo Ping's combat strength was so strong.
Many people in Min City, as long as they did not have any duties, rushed into the Min Clan to see Luo Ping's elegance.
While these people were congratulating Luo Ping, they also wanted to build a good relationship with him. Many of them were shrewd people who were proficient in the ways of the world. Naturally, they would not let go of this opportunity.
Therefore, Min Yi's courtyard was crowded with people. After a few hours, the crowd gradually left, leaving only some members of the Min Clan and people who Luo Ping was familiar with.
