The pressure on Luo Ping's shoulders gradually increased with the relentless barrage of attacks. Soon, he was on the brink of collapse. His doppelganger and Evil Spirits' puppets were slowly reassembling themselves, and the Luminous Mirror was dimming. Luo Ping had no choice but to repeatedly communicate with Wu Feiying.
When Wu Feiying finally killed Duanmu Zhao and looked over at him, Luo Ping couldn't hold back his urge any longer.
"How troublesome, you can't even deal with these small fries. It's going to take a long time for you to grow up."
Wu Feiying shook her head and spoke like an elder.
Though her tone was full of dissatisfaction with Luo Ping, she took to the air as she spoke and swiftly arrived in front of Luo Ping.
"Dazzling Shadow Skyburst Palm!"
Wu Feiying struck out with both palms, sending out more than twenty palm strikes in a row. Each of the palm strikes hit a cultivator precisely.
Thump, thump, thump, thump!
The cultivators who were besieging Luo Ping, under the attack of these palm shadows, let out a series of violent collisions. Just as everyone was looking at their own bodies in astonishment, their bodies directly exploded and dissipated into the void.
As for everyone's storage rings and treasures, they all flew out at the same time, quickly gathered together in the void, and then flew in front of Luo Ping.
"Good thing you came in time. Any later and I really would've been in danger."
Luo Ping grumbled, then put away the storage rings and treasures in front of him.
"These people are too weak. How boring. I'll have to find a peerless immortal to practice with next time."
Wu Feiying shook her head as she flew in front of Luo Ping.
"Don't be impulsive, Little Yingzi. You've only recovered to ninth level golden immortal. You might be in danger if you recklessly fight a peerless immortal.
I won't stop you once you've recovered to peerless immortal realm. I'll let you practice more. Then, it'll be time for us to rise to prominence. "
Luo Ping said.
Before Wu Feiying's cultivation recovered to the peerless immortal realm, he didn't dare to let her rashly deal with peerless immortals. After all, the Profound Heaven Gate was his most powerful trump card.
"You're right, but your cultivation is still improving a bit too slowly. At your current cultivation speed, I think it'll take you hundreds of thousands of years to truly rise to prominence.
At this rate, we don't know when we'll ascend to the holy realm. That's why I have to think of a way to increase your cultivation speed. "
Wu Feiying spoke seriously this time.
"What way?"
Luo Ping asked eagerly.
In truth, he also wanted to cultivate faster. Although his cultivation speed was already quite fast, he was still at the bottom of the barrel in the immortal realm. He wouldn't even be able to put up a fight against a golden immortal, let alone a peerless immortal.
Hearing Wu Feiying say that there was a way to increase his cultivation speed, Luo Ping's interest was piqued.
"I'll tell you what it is later. For now, let's get out of here as quickly as possible. Otherwise, other cultivators will come here."
With that, Wu Feiying vanished into thin air and returned to the Arcane Gates.
Seeing this, Luo Ping could only shake his head. Then, he quickly flew up and increased his flying speed to the maximum. Soon, he was far away from the valley.
Some time after Luo Ping's departure, many cultivators hurried to the valley. After a careful inspection, they all wore grave expressions and left in disappointment.
… …
A day later, the news of the experts from the Duanmu Clan and a few other clans and sects being killed spread across the entire Nangong City. As for the identity of the culprit, there was no definite information, but many people had their own guesses.
After all, many cultivators had seen the experts from these clans chasing after a young man. Although these cultivators didn't follow them because they didn't want to cause trouble, they all remembered the young man's face.
Therefore, Luo Ping became the suspect and the topic of discussion among all the cultivators in Nangong City. After all, with his cultivation, it was unbelievable that he could kill more than thirty cultivators, including the Duanmu Clan's patriarch.
No one would believe that a Level 5 Mystic Immortal could do this. Therefore, those cultivators were sure that Luo Ping had an expert protecting him from behind. That expert was most likely the Nangong City Lord who had just reached the Peerless Immortal Realm.
After all, Luo Ping and Nangong Xiaodie were from the same sect and had a good relationship. The Duanmu Clan had always been looking down on the Nangong Clan because they were the second most powerful clan in Nangong City. Naturally, the Nangong City Lord was unhappy.
In the past, the Nangong Clan wouldn't easily deal with the Duanmu Clan because they didn't want to affect the stability of Nangong City. However, now that the Nangong City Lord had reached the Peerless Immortal Realm, he had enough strength to eliminate the Duanmu Clan.
However, if he were to eliminate the Duanmu Clan for no reason, it would naturally cause dissatisfaction among the other clans in Nangong City. It might even cause chaos. However, if he were to secretly take action, this wouldn't happen.
In the eyes of many cultivators, Luo Ping was intercepted by the experts from the Duanmu Clan and several other forces because the Nangong City Lord had secretly helped Luo Ping to get rid of those people.
Some even thought that this was a plan between Luo Ping and the Nangong City Lord. They wanted to use Luo Ping as the bait to bid for a large amount of treasures in the auction. They wanted to go against the Duanmu Clan on purpose. With the new and old grudges added together and the attraction of treasures, the Duanmu Clan would definitely deal with Luo Ping after the auction.
In this way, the Duanmu Clan's patriarch would fall into the trap set by Luo Ping and the Nangong City Lord. As for the experts from the other forces, they would only be the fish in the pond.
Although all of this was just the guesses of the cultivators in Nangong City, and no one had seen it with their own eyes, everyone firmly believed that this was the truth.
This matter naturally reached the Nangong Clan immediately. After Nangong Ting understood the situation, he could only shake his head helplessly.
"Luo Ping, this rascal, I don't know what kind of powerful technique he used to kill Duanmu Zhao and those who besieged him. Now, this matter is even implicated on my head. I'm really being implicated even though I'm not doing anything."
"However, if I'm implicated, then so be it. After all, Duanmu Zhao has been killed. This saves me the trouble of thinking about how to secretly get rid of him."
"Now that Duanmu Zhao is dead, only Duanmu Bo is left in charge of the Duanmu Clan. I'd like to see how much he has recovered after he starts cultivating again."
Nangong Ting sat in his room and started to ponder.
Although he was a little conflicted about being implicated in the matter of Luo Ping killing Duanmu Zhao and the others, Nangong Ting was not angry. After all, Duanmu Zhao's death was a good thing for him.
No matter what method Luo Ping used to kill Duanmu Zhao, he had done him a great favor. He did not have to waste time and energy thinking about how to secretly kill Duanmu Zhao.
Now that Duanmu Zhao and Duanmu Chen were both dead, other than a few Supreme Elders, only Duanmu Bo was left in the Duanmu Clan. Nangong Ting was looking forward to seeing how much Duanmu Bo's cultivation had recovered.
After all, ever since Duanmu Bo was crippled, he had not shown himself. Even after he started cultivating again, he still did not leave the Duanmu Clan. As a result, many people did not know about his situation.
"Father!"
Outside the room, Nangong Xiaodie's voice sounded, interrupting Nangong Ting's thoughts.
"Come in."
Nangong Ting said to the door.
"Father, now that Duanmu Zhao is dead, should we take this opportunity to destroy the Duanmu Clan?"
Nangong Xiaodie pushed the door open and asked impatiently as soon as she entered the room.
"There's no hurry. If we destroy the Duanmu Clan now, it will only cause dissatisfaction and chaos among the other clans. It will be very detrimental to the stability of Nangong City."
"Since Duanmu Zhao is dead, only Duanmu Bo is left in the Duanmu Clan. Even if Duanmu Bo recovers or improves his cultivation, it will be difficult for him to reach Duanmu Zhao's level."
"Moreover, Duanmu Bo has cultivated the Joyous Union Valley's cultivation method. His mind will definitely be affected. He is no longer a threat to us."
Nangong Ting waved his hand and said.
"Father, you are right. Duanmu Bo's strength and talent are not as good as Duanmu Zhao's. Now that he has cultivated the Joyous Union Valley's cultivation method, it is even worse."
"Besides, father, you are already a Peerless Immortal expert. No matter how much Duanmu Bo's cultivation improves, he will not be a match for you. If he dares to do anything strange, father, you should kill him as a warning to others."
Nangong Xiaodie said.
"You are right. By the way, other than asking about the Duanmu Clan, is there anything else you want from me?"
Nangong Ting asked with a smile.
"Yes!"
Nangong Xiaodie answered without hesitation. She observed Nangong Ting's face for a moment, then continued, "Father, the entire city is talking about how you secretly helped senior brother Luo kill Duanmu Zhao and the other experts. Is this true?"
Nangong Xiaodie looked puzzled. Even as the seventh young lady of the Nangong Clan, she wasn't sure if it was her father who had killed Duanmu Zhao.
"Of course it's not true. Although I wanted to get rid of Duanmu Zhao in secret, I never found the opportunity. This time, I didn't know that Duanmu Zhao and the other clans would attack Luo Ping."
"If I had known, perhaps I would have taken action. However, Luo Ping was able to kill Duanmu Zhao and the others because of his own strength."
"Although I don't know how he did it, I believe that there must be a powerful helper helping him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to deal with Duanmu Zhao and the others."
Nangong Ting stood up and paced as he spoke.
