After a while, the people of the Xuan Turtle Clan recovered from their shock. However, they were still very surprised by Luo Ping's cultivation state.
"No wonder Fellow Immortal Luo has so many methods and is so powerful. It turns out that his cultivation state is countless times more terrifying than ordinary cultivators."
"Fellow Immortal Luo's speed and range of Yuan Ling Qi is enough to surpass ordinary Origin Returning Realm cultivators. It seems that it is impossible for us to cultivate."
"Fellow Immortal Luo has saved our clansmen many times. It doesn't matter even if he doesn't cultivate for a while. Since Fellow Immortal Luo is cultivating seriously, we will protect him."
Grand Elder Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh as she analyzed Luo Ping's cultivation state. In the current situation, it was impossible for the Xuan Turtle Clan to cultivate on this mountain, so she planned to protect Luo Ping.
After all, this was Bugu Mountain. There were many strange and powerful rogue cultivators hidden here. They had to ensure Luo Ping's safety during his cultivation.
As a result, Grand Elder Xu Jin instructed the clansmen. Then they all sat around Luo Ping and began to protect Luo Ping.
Just like that, a quarter of an hour passed, but nothing happened. After a quarter of an hour, Great Elder Xu Jin's expression suddenly changed, and she directly looked in a certain direction.
"Not good, someone is coming. Everyone be careful."
Just as Grand Elder Xu Jin reminded the clansmen, a stream of light quickly flew near the mountain they were on. The light dissipated and an old man with white hair and a youthful complexion appeared before everyone's eyes.
The old man didn't care about the Xuan Turtle Clan at all. Instead, he looked directly at Luo Ping's position with a look of surprise on his face.
After observing for a few breaths of time, the old man shifted his gaze to Grand Elder Xu Jin and the others.
"Who are you people? You dare to trespass on Bugu Mountain and cultivate here. You've absorbed all the Yuan Ling Qi in the surroundings, causing me to be unable to cultivate for a while.
"I advise you to leave this place immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The old man said to the Xuan Turtle clansmen. His voice was filled with threat.
"Senior, we only came here to hide from a powerful enemy. We don't plan to stay here for long. We definitely won't disturb you."
"As for the matter of cultivation, my companion's cultivation method is rather special. That's why he was able to absorb the surrounding elemental energy. If this has affected Senior's cultivation, I apologize to Senior on behalf of my companion. I hope Senior will be magnanimous enough to forgive me."
Great Elder Xu Jin hurriedly explained because she couldn't sense the old man's cultivation level at all. This meant that the old man's cultivation level was far above hers. He was at least in the Origin Returning Realm.
Facing an expert of this level, Great Elder Xu Jin naturally didn't dare to offend him. Even if Luo Ping had enough strength to kill a Origin Returning Realm cultivator, Luo Ping was currently cultivating. If she angered the old man and the old man suddenly attacked, it was very likely that Luo Ping would be seriously injured.
In addition, even if Luo Ping wasn't cultivating, they didn't want to offend the Loose Cultivators of Bugu Mountain. After all, their goal was to hide here. If they offended the Loose Cultivators here, they would be kicked out at the very least. At the very least, they might lose their lives. After all, it was very likely that there were Origin Returning Realm experts in Bugu Mountain.
Therefore, Great Elder Xu Jin could only appease the old man's emotions first so that Luo Ping would have enough time to end his cultivation. As long as Luo Ping ended his cultivation, she wouldn't have to worry too much.
After speaking, Great Elder Xu Jin prayed that Luo Ping would end his cultivation as soon as possible. However, at this moment, the old man didn't listen to her explanation at all. His expression became gloomy.
"Hmph, not only have you disturbed me, but you've also stolen my Origin Spirit Qi. You want to resolve this with a simple apology? Isn't that too simple?"
"If you want me to forgive you, then hand over all your treasures. Otherwise, I'll definitely bury you here."
The old man's tone was still tyrannical as he threatened. Moreover, he began to demand the treasures of the Xuan Turtle Clan. He planned to openly rob them.
The members of the Xuan Turtle clan understood in their hearts when they heard this. The old man before them was clearly planning on using his strength to snatch their treasures. Although they were unwilling and furious in their hearts, they did not dare to openly display their emotions due to the great disparity in strength. They could only swallow their anger.
"So you're actually a bandit. And here I thought you were a rogue cultivator. Looks like I was wrong."
"They all say that the Unserene Mountain is a place where rogue cultivators who don't want to join any organisation or participate in battles are gathered. Every single one of them is an otherworldly expert. Now that I've seen it, it looks like they've been exaggerating."
"We've only come here to hide temporarily, yet you plan on stealing our treasures. How is that any different from bandits? Or is the Unserene Mountain just a place where rogue cultivators gather, but it's actually a place where bandits gather? "
Just as Grand Elder Xu Jin was about to speak, Luo Ping's voice rang out, mocking and questioning the old man without any trace of politeness.
While he was speaking, Luo Ping had already finished his cultivation and stood up. His eyes were like torches as he stared at the old man.
"Bah! You're actually comparing me to bandits? You're insulting me."
"What I hate the most in my life are bandits. Those great organisations are the biggest 'bandits'. It's only because they're strong that their actions become 'justified'."
"The reason why I don't join any organisation is because I don't want to be associated with them. We rogue cultivators of the Unserene Mountain are all honorable people. How could we be bandits?"
"You're a member of a certain organisation. Not only have you trespassed on the Unserene Mountain without permission, but you've also absorbed all the surrounding Yuan Ling Qi. You've affected my cultivation. Shouldn't I take your treasures and drive you out?"
"I've already done my duty by not killing you. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
As soon as the old man heard Luo Ping compare him to bandits, his temper flared. His words heavily expressed his disgust and hatred for bandits.
In the end, the old man also explained the reason why he was preparing to seize everyone's treasures. It was because Luo Ping and the others were members of a certain organisation, which affected his cultivation. He didn't like members of those organisations to begin with, so he naturally wanted to teach Luo Ping and the others a lesson.
When Luo Ping and the others heard this, although they wouldn't do as the old man said, they could understand the old man's thoughts and gradually calmed down.
"So that's how it is. It seems that Fellow Immortal is indeed a rogue cultivator of the Unserene Mountain. No wonder you have such a sage-like appearance."
"In fact, I'm also a rogue cultivator, and they're members of the Xuan Turtle Tribe. Recently, the Young Master of the White Tiger Tribe set his sights on the Gray Barbarian Star and began to drive away the organisations on the Gray Barbarian Star. Because the Xuan Turtle Tribe was unwilling to leave, the White Tiger Tribe massacred them. Only about twenty of them are left today."
"Because I couldn't stand the evil deeds of the White Tiger Tribe, I helped the Xuan Turtle Tribe escape the Gray Barbarian Star and came to the Wave Wave Star. I originally hoped to temporarily hide in the Unserene Mountain, but since Fellow Immortal thinks we're in the way, we'll leave now."
Luo Ping changed his tone and spoke to the old man.
Since the old man hated bandits, Luo Ping simply described the White Tiger Tribe's actions as bandits' and the Xuan Turtle Tribe's victims. As for himself, he described himself as a rogue cultivator. This way, he could get closer to the old man.
"What kind of status does the Young Master of the White Tiger Tribe have? Why would he set his sights on the remote Gray Barbarian Star? You're not lying to me, are you? "
The old man wasn't a fool. How could he believe Luo Ping's words so easily?
"We're both rogue cultivators, and I'm in the Unserene Mountain now. I don't have the guts to deceive Fellow Immortal.
"The Coronation Battle is about to begin. The Young Master of the White Tiger Tribe forcefully occupied the Gray Barbarian Star because she wanted to refine the Gray Barbarian Star and raise her cultivation level. She wanted to advance to the True Realm.
"Even the Young Master of the White Tiger Tribe can't resist the temptation of being a Domain Monarch. In order to raise her cultivation level, what kind of evil would she not do?"
Luo Ping immediately explained further. This time, the old man opposite him nodded cooperatively.
"In order to raise her cultivation level to the True Realm before the Coronation Battle, the Young Master of the White Tiger Tribe indeed has a reason to do so. It seems like the White Tiger Tribe is unwilling to lose the title of being a Domain Monarch.
"Although they are victims, they are still members of the Mystic Turtle Tribe and not rogue cultivators. You came to the Unserene Mountain to avoid being hunted down by the White Tiger Tribe. Aren't you bringing danger to the Unserene Mountain?
"And you. Even if you're a rogue cultivator, your cultivation state is too heaven-defying. If you stay here, how can I continue to cultivate?"
Although the old man's tone softened, he was still dissatisfied with the arrival of Luo Ping and the others.
"Fellow Immortal, don't worry. I've already used a little trick to get the White Tiger Tribe members to leave the Wave Wave Star and head to other planets. They won't know that we're hiding in the Unserene Mountain.
"Also, we won't stay here for too long. Once the reinforcements arrive, we will naturally leave this place. We won't affect Fellow Immortal for too long.
"If my cultivation has affected Fellow Immortal's cultivation, then I won't cultivate. How is it? Are you satisfied now?"
Luo Ping continued to speak to the old man. He was completely following the old man's wishes. After all, they were deep in the Unserene Mountain and it was not worthwhile to offend the other party.
"In that case, I'll give you a way out and let you stay here."
"However, you must remember not to wander around. Not all the rogue cultivators in the Unserene Mountain are as easy-going as I am. If you offend them, you won't be able to keep your life."
The old man finally agreed to let Luo Ping and the others stay here and kindly reminded them. This made Luo Ping and the other members of the Mystic Turtle Tribe change their attitude towards the old man. They had a good impression of him.
"Thank you very much, Fellow Immortal. I'm Luo Ping. This is the Great Elder of the Mystic Turtle Tribe, Xu Jin. How should I address you?"
Luo Ping asked for the other party's name.
"I'm Bu Chong!"
The old man replied.
"So it's Fellow Immortal Bu Chong. May I ask how many rogue cultivators there are in the Unserene Mountain? Is it true that there are experts at the Peak of the Origin Returning Realm hiding here?"
