Chen Ping's Sword

This was done with the thought of possibly failing, wearing a mask serves as a cover.

If their true face is revealed and their identity recognized.

Then, if Chen Ping finds them afterward, it would be certain death.

While feeling shocked by Chen Ping’s prestige, Han Wushang felt a slight pride in his heart, yet at the same time, his heart sank to the bottom.

Since they acted with a masked face, their intent to kill must be firm.

With the determination to succeed.

It is uncertain whether this ordeal can be overcome.

Just hope that Fang Qingzhu can escape faster.

And Chen Ping can return even quicker.

...

At this moment.

Another magnificent golden light surged out from Xingqing Prefecture City.

It was Fang Yun, who was slightly further away and reacted a bit slower.

Just left the city without catching up to intercept the thunder light, when suddenly he heard a deep shout, "Rain!"

His vision instantly became a misty white, as if he was in the misty rain of Jiangnan in March, no matter how he charged forward, everything was drenched in drizzle.

A figure loomed just ahead, but his sword couldn’t hit or slash it.

"Pei Donghe, making a move today, aren’t you afraid of your Pei Family being exterminated entirely in the future?"

Sunx Yun, after all, served as the Primordial Sect Leader for many years, often dealing with sect affairs. Upon hearing this voice and seeing the misty rain before him, he immediately knew who it was.

The Jiangdong Pei Family is reputed to have studied deeply, inheriting Confucius and Mencius teachings. They not only practice the Vast Righteous Qi Technique but also tirelessly refine a sonic peerless skill [Soul Suppressing Sound], which was initially inspired by teachings and then evolved from the principle of [Breaking Evil with Righteousness, Life Growth], creating this miraculous attack.

It’s said that once cultivated to a high level, with a righteous heart and soul, a fierce shout can slay ghosts and extirpate souls, exorcise demons, and be unstoppable.

Especially when a member of the Pei Family experiences training and realizes the cycle of seasons and life’s impermanence, they can use their voice to manipulate small-scale weather changes.

Of course, to trap a Unity Realm Qi Blood Body Refining Sword Cultivator like himself goes far beyond, which requires cultivation at the level of the Illusion Domain.

Of such realm, the most famous member of the Jiangdong Pei Family is Pei Donghe.

"Even if you can guess, so what, Sect Leader Sunx, rather than worrying about my Pei Family’s safety, you should worry about your own life."

The figure in the white robe was more grandiose than the previous two, not bothering to hide his identity, candidly acknowledged it without changing his name or seat.

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Sunx Yun to retort, he recited loudly: "No return path seen through wind and snow..."

With the voice reverberating, the light and shadow before Sunx Yun altered, making the misty drizzle disappear instantly, while frost swords and wind knives struck his face and body, producing numerous small blood marks caused by the passing snowflakes.

He moved through the Primordial Sword like a seamless dance, powerful and heavy.

His golden flame surged to several feet high, yet couldn’t ward off the chilling snowflakes turned from piercing coldness.

A chill went straight to his heart.

"This is disastrous, the intricate arrangement indicates that there’s a high master behind this, orchestrating the forces of the Jiangdong Pei Family, Jiangnan Liu Family, and Shenxiao Sword Sect, leaving only one possibility. Could it be that person’s strategy, if true, it spells big trouble..."

Unlike Han Wushang, Sunx Yun has not only been a Sect Leader but also seen many conspiracies and schemes.

At this moment, he realized if it’s indeed that unrivaled advisor taking action, targeting Fang Qingzhu alone wouldn’t make sense, this kind of crude interception couldn’t be all there is, the opponent must have another purpose, who could the target really be? It’s highly suspicious...

What is seen might not be real.

The surface attack might hide deeper malice.

At this thought, Sunx Yun felt conflicted, wishing to send a warning for Chen Ping not to reveal himself when he arrived, yet constrained by the Yin Deficiency Domain, unable to speak a word.

...

"As soon as I step out, all manner of monsters appear."

How fast was Chen Ping.

From several miles away, he saw the skyward combat of Qi waves.

His figure flickered into trails, swift over the city wall, the rooftop vanished without a sound, swiftly passing through Cuihu Residence, observing the chaos before the door clearly.

"Ah, Xiaoyu."

With a gaze, he saw Xiaoyu lying there, charred all over, tears like beads falling, legs missing, unveiling a long golden tail under the skirt.

Her original form was almost forced out. (Previously mistakenly stated, Xiaoyu is not human, but a Golden Carp transformed, a little demon who took human form by ingesting a pill, corrected now.)

Chen Ping’s eyes hardened, he stepped forward, green light gathering in his hand, transferring into her body.

A stream of refreshing vitality surged in, quickly dispelling the charred texture.

"Quick, save the lady, Celestial Star Ruins, Heaven-Reaching Tower..."

For once, Xiaoyu became bright-witted, didn’t utter unnecessary words.

Regardless of herself lying on the ground, she forcefully shoved Chen Ping.

"Don’t worry, she will be fine."

Though uncertain why Xiaoyu mentioned the Celestial Star Sect ruins.

No time for deeper thoughts now.

His figure became ethereal smoke, starlight flickering, heading out the south gate, the sword preceding him, through the mist and snow.

"Ah..."

A mournful scream echoed.

A white-robed figure soared skyward, transforming into a bloodlight, fleeing swiftly.

A shower of blood splashed down.

It was Pei Donghe.

A fellow Grandmaster, and a prominent one among them, he sensed a grand Qi Mechanism from north to south, mighty coming, even guessed who it was.

Yet, he refused to believe the menace, choosing to weigh Chen Ping, first of the Hidden Dragon renowned in Jiangnan, slayer of Divine Master Duran with the sword, wonder how formidable he truly is.

And then he won that realization.

The Yin Deficiency Domain laid by [Soul Suppressing Sound] couldn’t even hold for a blink, swept by a golden sword light.

The sword light blazing like the sun, sliced across his waist, nearly cutting him in half from right to left.

If not for cultivating Vast Righteous Qi, forming unyielding Soul Qi, within the death realm squeezing out a chance of vitality, the single clash might have killed him.

Surviving a crisis, Pei Donghe dared not linger, transforming into bloodlight, risking Vitality loss, frantically fleeing.

Far off he heard another scream behind him.

A gale soared into the sky, dispersing as cloud fragments.

He knew that was Liu Suifeng’s Heart Willow Domain, utterly shattered, but needn’t worry about him, even though his attack and defense were slightly lacking, he wielded the Willow Wood Substitute Technique, taking two strikes wouldn’t kill him.

Sure enough, barely thought of it, a similar bloodlight, in another direction, fled.

Followed by a golden light behind, already unable to catch up.

"Miss this day, you’re all doomed later."

Chen Ping’s eyes turned icy.

This time, he struck with anger, every move deadly.

Yet didn’t anticipate that all those intruders bore strange life-preserving skills.

One or two strikes couldn’t kill them, leaving them barely alive, escaping with Blood Escape.

Well aware Unity Realm individuals could all employ Blood Escape Technique, no surprise, expending Essence and burning True Qi for frenzied escape, naturally granting faster speed than usual.

But, this is merely a temporary remedy, a true master of equivalent level always pertained behind, absent rescue, eventually doomed.

Crucially, Chen Ping couldn’t disengage and pursue.

He eyed the profound woods, far off, flickers of five-colored thunder light penetrated through.

"Ancestral Master and Brother, fortify the city, no chasing, to prevent drawing the snake from its hole, another ambush."

He dropped a line, without lingering, rushing toward where the five-colored thunder lit vanished.
