Luo Ping followed Huo Qing to a huge demon castle in Luwei City. Huo Qing also had a fixed VIP room in this demon castle.
Before this, when Huo Qing invited the six helpers, he had already given them a Sound Transmission Talisman and asked them to gather here in advance.
Following behind Huo Qing, Luo Ping's heart was filled with emotions. He had to admit that whether it was in the Cultivation Domain or in the Demons sect space, once one had an unusual identity, one would be able to do well wherever one went.
"The name of a first-class sect's disciple is indeed not for nothing. He actually has so many 'lairs'. If I had known that he was so rich, I would have asked for more."
Luo Ping's heart was filled with regret at this moment. He realized that the conditions he had proposed before were not ruthless enough. He was afraid that it was just a drop in the ocean for Huo Qing.
"Brother Tan, this way."
Just as Luo Ping was lamenting in his heart, Huo Qing's voice rang out. It turned out that they had already reached a corridor and Huo Qing was reminding him to walk further into the corridor.
Luo Ping nodded and followed Huo Qing to the end of the corridor. Huo Qing pushed open a door in front of him and walked in.
"Fellow Daoists, you are indeed punctual. This Huo came a little late. Please forgive me if I have neglected you."
As soon as Luo Ping stepped into the room, he heard Huo Qing's greeting. Only then did he realize that there were already six people sitting in the room. Five men and one woman.
The six people all looked over. When they saw Luo Ping, they sized him up slightly before shifting their gazes to Huo Qing.
"Brother Huo, you are too polite. We have not been here for long. With your Sound Transmission Talisman as a token, the manager here is very polite to us. How can we neglect you?"
"What's more, we've all heard of each other's names for a long time, but we've never seen each other before. This time, we've gathered here to get to know each other. This is all thanks to Brother Huo, hahaha …"
On the other side, a dark-skinned, short, and valiant man rushed to answer first. With one look, one could tell that he was an experienced person. His words were full of consideration for the other party, without any sharp words.
"Brother Wu Hun is indeed forthright. No wonder so many Fellow Daoists from various sects are willing to befriend Brother Wu Hun. This time, I am very happy to be able to invite Brother Wu Hun."
Huo Qing clearly knew how to speak. He took over the man's words and immediately flattered him. However, he still controlled the degree of flattery very well. It was close to the truth, and there was no exaggeration.
Just as Huo Qing had said, Wu Hun looked very forthright and always had a smile on his face. When he heard Huo Qing's praise, he just laughed and didn't argue.
"Brother Huo, is this fellow Daoist also a helper you've invited? Which sect's disciple is he from? Why don't you introduce him to us? Maybe we've already heard of him? "
Another man with a slender figure and a cold expression said somewhat eccentrically. He crossed his arms over his chest and cast his gaze at Luo Ping, who was beside Huo Qing.
"Brother Gu is right. This is Brother Tan Luo. He is the last helper I've invited. However, he is not a disciple of any sect. He is a Loose Cultivator."
Huo Qing immediately pointed at Luo Ping and introduced him to the six people on the other side. When they heard that Luo Ping was only a Loose Cultivator, the expressions of the six people on the other side clearly changed.
With the exception of Wu Hun, whose smile froze for a moment before returning to normal, the remaining five did not hide their disdain for Zhou Donghuang.
They were all disciples of large sects. Whether it was status or cultivation strength, they were very proud of their assets.
As long as they revealed their names, it was enough to deter countless Demons sect. As for Loose Cultivators, in their eyes, they were pitiful cultivators who had nothing.
In the hearts of these large sect disciples, they naturally looked down on Loose Cultivators. In their opinion, Loose Cultivators who had no cultivation resources and no backing, how could they compare to them, no matter how talented they were?
The obvious gap between the two sides made the five people on the other side extremely contemptuous and even disdainful when they heard Luo Ping's identity as a Loose Cultivator.
"I say, Brother Huo, are you sure you're not mistaken? You actually found a Loose Cultivator as a helper? You're one of the best among the younger generation of the Annihilation Saint Palace. How can you befriend a Loose Cultivator? Isn't this lowering your status? "
A fierce-looking man with the back of a tiger and the waist of a bear said faintly to Huo Qing, who was opposite him.
"That's right, Brother Huo. If you're worried that you don't have enough time to find other helpers, we can help you contact them through voice transmission. I think we should just forget about this Loose Cultivator."
Gu Dingyu, who had spoken earlier, thought that Huo Qing didn't have time to continue looking for helpers, so he had casually chosen a Loose Cultivator.
Therefore, he immediately suggested that he was willing to help Huo Qing find helpers and persuade Huo Qing to give up on Luo Ping.
"That's right. Isn't it lowering our status to let this Loose Cultivator participate in the competition with us? Furthermore, this is a competition of the Annihilation Saint Palace. All the more reason we can't bring this Loose Cultivator along."
The speaker was a long-haired man in a black robe. He was even more direct and said that Luo Ping would lower their status.
"Humph!"
The only woman among them only used a 'hmph' to express her current attitude. She then turned her face away and didn't even want to look at Luo Ping.
Huo Qing did not expect that the reaction of the people opposite him would be so big. Hearing their undisguised contempt and disgust, he knew in his heart that if he did not stop them, it was very likely that it would be difficult to ease the situation.
Thus, before the last man opened his mouth to speak, Huo Qing hurriedly spoke first and said, "Fellow Daoists, please don't only look at the surface. Although this Brother Tan is a loose cultivator, his cultivation is not inferior to any of you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have invited him."
"Cultivators like us respect strength. What's the difference between being in a sect or not? As long as you are strong enough, you will still be respected by others. Don't you think so?"
Huo Qing understood Luo Ping's strength very well. Therefore, at this time, he could only use this point to shut the mouths of the other party.
The reason why these people looked down on and disliked Luo Ping was because they believed that Luo Ping's strength was not on par with theirs.
After all, cultivators valued strength. Very few Loose Cultivators could compare with disciples of large sects like them. This was a principle that had not changed for a long time.
"Oh? Brother Huo, do you mean that his strength is on par with ours? "
The stocky man looked at Luo Ping suspiciously. He did not believe Huo Qing's words at all. However, when he thought of Huo Qing's identity and strength, he began to waver.
"Brother Cheng Biao is right. Brother Tan's strength is definitely not weaker than any of the Fellow Daoists present, including me."
Huo Qing answered Cheng Biao's question with certainty. He even raised Luo Ping's strength to an unbelievable height.
"What? Not weaker than Brother Huo? "
The people on the other side were dumbfounded. They were very clear about Huo Qing's strength. Although they were all at the Devil Transformation Stage and were all Fiend Demons, and there were even late-stage Devil Transformation Stage existences among them, in terms of strength, Huo Qing was definitely the strongest.
In addition to the fact that Huo Qing was a disciple of a first-class sect, the Extermination Saint Palace, his cultivation talent was also famous. This made the people on the other side wholeheartedly convinced.
Now, Huo Qing actually said that the Loose Cultivator in front of them was not weaker than him. This made the people on the other side find it hard to accept.
In truth, Huo Qing didn't know just what degree Luo Ping's strength had reached. After all, he hadn't personally tested it.
However, he believed in his own judgment and eyesight. Luo Ping was absolutely a powerful helper and opponent. Thus, he said this. Moreover, the reason he said this was because he had another purpose in mind.
"Your sister, you told me to ignore these people, but you sold me out first and pushed me into the abyss. It seems this was all premeditated!"
Luo Ping cursed Huo Qing in his heart. The reason he didn't speak before wasn't because he feared these people, but because there was no need to refute them.
Since Huo Qing invited him here, he believed that Huo Qing would definitely settle this matter. But, Huo Qing's words just now nearly caused Luo Ping to vomit blood.
"It's obvious that he wants me to fight with the people on the other side. Presumably, while he wants me to prove my strength, he also wants to test my true combat strength."
Luo Ping immediately saw through Huo Qing's intentions. Although he was a little unhappy, he didn't mind teaching them a lesson since the people on the other side were so arrogant.
The situation was indeed developing according to Huo Qing's intentions and Luo Ping's conjecture. After the people on the other side were shocked, they finally couldn't hold back and were eager to give it a try.
"Since Huo Qing said so, then we really need to see how strong this Loose Cultivator is. Is it really like what Brother Huo said, that he's not weaker than any of us?"
Although the long-haired, black-robed member of the Demons sect believed in Huo Qing's words, he couldn't accept it without seeing Luo Ping's strength.
"I wonder if you have the guts to accept our challenge?"
This person challenged Luo Ping again. His eyes stared straight at Luo Ping, as if he wanted to see clearly whether Luo Ping really had the guts or was just a facade.
"Guts? I do have that, but you have to make it clear. Do I accept your challenge, or do I accept yours? There's a big difference between the two. "
Luo Ping smiled and asked unhurriedly. Since the other party had already issued a challenge, he naturally wouldn't refuse. However, he wouldn't agree without thinking.
