Inside the defensive barrier, a figure suddenly appeared near Luo Ping. He stared at Luo Ping like a tiger eyeing its prey with a cruel smile on his face.
The Kong elders immediately determined that this person was a peerless immortal elder of the Shangguan Clan from the way he'd teleported.
With Luo Ping's cultivation base and strength, there was no hope for him to survive.
"You're just a mere level-1 Mystic Immortal. You're dreaming if you think you can escape from the defensive barrier."
"Don't think that bitch can help you. She can't even protect herself now. How can she help you?"
The middle-aged man who appeared in front of Luo Ping said. The bitch he was referring to was Shangguan Piaorou.
"Second Miss, how can you mix with such an ant? It's better for you to stand aside so I don't accidentally hurt you."
The middle-aged man said to Shangguan Mengru.
Shangguan Mengru was furious when she heard this. Based on the middle-aged man's words, she could tell that he was from the Shura clan and not the Shangguan Clan.
"If you want to deal with him, you'll have to kill me first."
Shangguan Mengru said in a domineering tone. She flashed and stood in front of Luo Ping.
Although she knew who she was, she did not have a good impression of the Shura clan. Naturally, her tone was not friendly at all.
At this moment, Luo Ping was sensing the spatial fluctuations of the defensive barrier. She was too weak to stop the middle-aged man. Disheartened, she had no other choice but to die with Luo Ping.
"Second Miss, you must be joking. How can I dare to kill you? Since you won't move aside, I can only send you away."
As the middle-aged man spoke, he released a wave of Celestial Origin Energy toward Shangguan Mengru. He wanted to imprison her and move her to another location.
Just as the Celestial Origin Energy was about to approach Shangguan Mengru, a ripple appeared in the void. A destructive force erupted from the ripple and destroyed the middle-aged man's Celestial Origin Energy.
The middle-aged man was shocked and was about to attack again. However, he found that an incomparably huge round plate appeared at the location of the spatial fluctuation. It emitted an ancient and majestic aura, which made him feel fear.
Just as he was hesitating, the huge round plate once again released a powerful force. It instantly penetrated the void and attacked his body.
"Bang, bang, bang …"
Although the middle-aged man detected it in time and immediately released a powerful Celestial Core Power to protect his body, it was useless. His body was directly hit by the power, and a series of loud sounds erupted from his body.
As the voice rang out, the middle-aged man's body suddenly collapsed. Under his fearful gaze, he instantly turned into a pile of powder and dissipated into the void.
The sudden change shocked Shangguan Mengru. She stared blankly at the huge disc in front of her. After a moment of contemplation, she seemed to have thought of something and an expression of surprise and shock appeared on her face.
"This is … our clan's most treasured treasure, the Time Plate!"
"Ever since I was born, I've never seen the true appearance and power of the Time Plate. I didn't expect to see it today."
"It's said that the Time Plate contains the Laws of Time. With the help of the Laws of Time in the Time Plate, one can travel through time and space to return to the past and the future. The time span of travel is determined by the strength of the owner."
"From the looks of it, Third Aunt must have refined the Time Plate. With the Time Plate in hand, I believe Third Aunt will be able to defeat her opponent."
Shangguan Mengru quickly recognized the origin of the disc in the void. Although she was shocked, she was also gratified.
At the same time, Shangguan Jinzhi, who was fighting with Shangguan Piaorou, also noticed the existence of the Time Plate. His eyes were filled with surprise and greed.
"I really didn't expect that the Time Plate that we've been searching for for tens of millions of years would actually be in your hands. You've really hidden it well. Even when your body has been occupied, you still haven't discovered this secret."
"Although you've hidden it for tens of millions of years, since you've exposed the Time Plate, don't even think about taking it back. This immortal equipment will belong to me."
Shangguan Jinzhi's eyes were fixed on the Time Plate as he spoke to Shangguan Piaorou.
The reason why the Shura clan killed the Clan Head and Second Master of the Shangguan Clan was because of the Time Plate. However, after tens of millions of years of searching, they still didn't manage to find anything.
It was precisely because of this that the Shura clan's naturally warlike nature led them to decide on a plan to dominate the Immortal Realms. They even secretly allied with the experts of the Demon and Devil Realms to refine puppets.
Originally, they didn't have much hope for the Time Plate and only wanted to focus on dominating the Immortal Realms. But now, the Time Plate actually appeared. How could Shangguan Jinzhi not be happy?
"Hmph, for this Time Plate, you Shura clan members killed my father and Second Brother. I will definitely borrow the power of the Time Plate to kill all of you and use your deaths to pay tribute to them."
"You want to snatch the Time Plate? Let's see if you have the ability to do so."
Shangguan Piaorou's voice was filled with rage. He swore that he would exterminate the entire Shura clan.
Just as he finished speaking, a vast and majestic energy was released from the Time Plate. It expanded rapidly in all directions. In the blink of an eye, it had expanded by tens of miles.
"Time acceleration?"
Shangguan Jinzhi was coincidentally enveloped by this energy. When he sensed the changes in his surroundings, a solemn expression appeared on his face.
Because in the space around him, the flow of time had increased by a lot. Even though his cultivation was profound and he was strong, he still felt a lot of pressure from the flow of time.
Under the influence of time acceleration, not only was the power of his attacks greatly reduced, they also lost their strength. Moreover, the consumption of his energy had increased by a lot.
The attacks that were originally able to suppress Shangguan Piaorou were now only able to match her. This made Shangguan Jinzhi even more solemn and at the same time, his desire for the Time Plate increased.
On the other hand, because Shangguan Piaorou had refined the Time Plate, she wasn't affected by the time acceleration at all. The power of her attacks didn't change at all. In fact, under the amplification of the Time Plate, the power of her attacks increased.
Because Shangguan Piaorou had brought out the Shangguan Clan's ultimate treasure, the Time Plate, not only did she block Shangguan Jinzhi's attack, the energy she released protected Luo Ping and Shangguan Mengru.
Before that member of the Shura clan could make a move, he was killed by the Time Plate. Although many elders of the Shangguan Clan had gathered in a short period of time, they didn't dare to make a move recklessly.
Among these elders, some were true elders of the Shangguan Clan, while some were actually members of the Shura clan.
Regardless of their identities, they knew that the power of the Time Plate wasn't something they could withstand.
Those true elders of the Shangguan Clan looked at the intense battle between Shangguan Jinzhi and Shangguan Piaorou in the air and fell into deep confusion and shock.
"What's going on? Why are the Clan Head and Third Great-aunt fighting?"
"I'm not sure. Could it be related to the Time Plate?"
"It's possible. The Time Plate is actually in Third Great-aunt's hands. In my opinion, she must have stolen the Time Plate back then."
"That makes sense. No wonder we haven't seen the Clan Head use the Time Plate for such a long time. So it was stolen. Moreover, it was by a family thief."
"Third Great-aunt seems to be protecting this captured brat. Could it be that she has already betrayed the Shangguan Clan and colluded with other clans?"
"Hmph, if that's the case, it's no wonder the Clan Head decided to place righteousness before family."
A few true elders of the Shangguan Clan started to analyze the situation seriously. Their tone was firm, as though they had seen it with their own eyes.
After their analysis, they were certain that Shangguan Piaorou was the one who stole the Clan Head's treasure. Now that she had colluded with other clans, the Clan Head decided to place righteousness before family.
As for how Shangguan Piaorou was able to steal the Time Plate, they automatically ignored it.
Just as the group of elders were discussing spiritedly, Luo Ping, who was protected by the power of the Time Plate, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was filled with incomparable confidence.
"Let's go!"
Luo Ping turned his head and said to Shangguan Mengru. Before the latter could react, the space around them suddenly changed.
When the space stabilized again, Shangguan Mengru was surprised to find that they had already appeared outside the defensive barrier.
Shangguan Mengru was incomparably shocked. She had a deeper understanding of Luo Ping's methods. Only now did she realize that she couldn't see through Luo Ping's depth anymore.
At this moment, two streams of light flew over and landed in front of Luo Ping and Shangguan Mengru.
"Luo Ping, I really didn't expect you to be able to escape from the Shangguan Clan. Just based on your luck and methods, it's enough to make the other first-rate clans look at you in a new light."
"Since you're out, let's go to the Immortal Ship first. I still have some things to ask you."
Kong Pei directly spoke and praised Luo Ping generously. Then, he didn't delay and immediately asked Luo Ping to follow him to the Kong Clan's Immortal Ship.
Although Kong Pei and the other elder had vaguely guessed Shangguan Mengru's identity, they didn't expose it.
"Thank you senior for your praise. Let's go then."
Luo Ping didn't hesitate. After saying that, he directly flew towards the Immortal Ship with Shangguan Mengru. Elder Kong Pei and the other elder saw this and quickly followed.
Originally, with their status, they wouldn't welcome Luo Ping at all. However, because they were worried about the safety of the captured disciples, especially Kong Haotian's safety, Kong Pei couldn't wait to rush to Luo Ping.
After a while, on the Kong Clan's Immortal Ship, Luo Ping and Shangguan Mengru were surrounded by a group of Kong Clan elders. These elders were eagerly waiting for Luo Ping's reply.
