Chen Ping's Sword

At this moment, Chen Ping was holding Pei Donghe’s hand, showing concern and warmth, causing Pei Donghe’s face to turn slightly red.

It was somewhat embarrassing; he did not deserve such courteous treatment from the True Martial King.

Not only Pei Donghe, but Liu Suifeng was also feeling bitter.

If Pei Donghe was severely injured, it would take at least ten days to half a month to recover from his injuries.

Then what about him? He had used up a piece of Life-Substitution Willow Wood that he had spent three years of heart and spirit refining.

The three years of effort in refining could be set aside, but finding willow wood with three hundred years of fire control was truly difficult, and each piece used caused him considerable pain.

Due to the excessive spiritual power infused in the Life-Substitution Willow Wood, even after being slain once, his spirit was still languishing, showing that his combat power had greatly decreased and he could no longer fight.

Not to mention, both of them had just used the Blood Escape Technique, suffering severe vitality losses.

Of their full abilities, retaining three-tenths would be considered good.

Seeing the miserable state of these two, Chen Ping’s heart sank. His face darkened a little, and he was worried about another person: "Senior Brother Tongyun, I wonder how he is doing. I only hope he’s safe."

These noble families and sects indeed spared no effort in supporting him.

But that was limited to money and ordinary soldiers; they were restrained in sending their true essence.

It’s not that they didn’t want to send their most powerful experts to fight for power.

But they feared that too much loss would damage their essence, causing their forces and status to decline.

No matter what era or situation it is.

Possessing strength and being able to control weapons grants one a voice.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the relationship is, words are useless.

Instead, one must worry about being swallowed up.

Therefore, deploying these experts is possible, but they must not suffer losses, or the consequences would be endless.

True Martial King deeply understood this.

As his gaze plea-like looked toward Feng Yuantu, he saw the Star Crowned Scholar, who was waving a goose feather fan, gently shaking his head.

"From what you two said earlier, it seems that Master Tongyun was truly enraged, and perhaps he had a real intention to kill Fairy Qingzhu?"

Feng Yuantu, with his keen mind, had noticed something amiss from the brief words of Pei Donghe and Liu Suifeng.

At the start of the ambush, even Xiaoyu, the maid beside Qingzhu, was almost struck dead by a lightning.

Furthermore, he used vicious hands and unleashed the Purple Thunder Domain, forcing Fang Qingzhu to use her Protective Jade Pendant and cough up several mouthfuls of blood.

How could this be an act?

"Exactly so. In my observation, Master Tongyun was pushing severely, and Fairy Qingzhu, just as expected, was trying to find a safe place and headed straight to the Celestial Star Ruins..."

Liu Suifeng paused slightly at this point.

The Liu Family’s reputation outside was not great; people thought the Liu Family was playing both sides and getting close to Beizhou.

However, the world didn’t know it was just an act.

When it comes to acting, Liu Suifeng can be said to be quite adept.

But for a moment earlier, he really felt as if Elder Tongyun was not acting but genuinely wished to kill Fang Qingzhu.

Originally uncertain, upon seeing Feng Yuantu’s serious inquiry, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t speak any further explanations.

’Could it be that Elder Tongyun, after years of undercover by Ji Changlie’s side, developed some genuine kinship with that libertine prince and, seeing himself grow old, truly wants to kill Fang Qingzhu, drawing the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest’s wrath, erasing Xingqing Prefecture and Chen Ping entirely, to accompany Ji Changlie in death?’

Thinking of this, Liu Suifeng was suddenly startled, turning abruptly to look at the seemingly insignificant Mu Yuanzhen, ranked fourth on the Hidden Dragon List, standing aside.

Could it be this guy is also acting with us?

’Could it be that the Shenxiao Sword Sect is hedging their bets, scheming against everyone...’

With this thought spinning in his mind, Liu Suifeng’s eyes narrowed slightly, yet he didn’t truly show it.

Feng Yuantu seemed to have noticed something but didn’t ask further, merely sighing to himself: "Fang Qingzhu should not be killed, not by anyone related to us. Otherwise, the consequences will be endless, killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred yourself, with no escape."

The Three Immortal Islands from overseas have, over the millennia, always been lofty and never reasonable or fair.

Once provoked, it’s too late for regrets.

It is said something happened on Fubo Island, and now the island is empty, with no one knowing where they’ve gone, so there’s no need to worry about falling into their hands.

However, the South Sea Purple Bamboo Forest is reputed as the strongest and most mysterious among the Three Immortal Islands, and provoking Fairy Qingzhu is like dancing before King Yama; no one dares to be serious.

The True Martial King’s expression was changing, internally cursing Elder Tongyun, thinking how close he was to being trapped by that guy.
