The competition for the Tortoise Shell Fragments has intensified, with people from the Three Factions getting involved. Battles are occurring everywhere, and the number of casualties is gradually increasing.
As the second day was nearing its end, a major battle broke out. Lu Quan from the Tiger Howl Sect had obtained seven Tortoise Shell Fragments and was already being targeted. The Azure Wind Sword Sect and the top Inner Sect Disciple of Yunxing Sect gathered many allies to block Lu Quan, which ultimately escalated into a battle involving over a hundred people.
The casualties were numerous, and it is unnecessary to elaborate on them. In the end, two of the Tortoise Shell Fragments fell into the hands of the Azure Wind Sword Sect, while two others went to Yunxing Sect. With the help of his fellow disciples from Tiger Howl Sect, Lu Quan managed to retain three Tortoise Shell Fragments.
This battle essentially established the general ownership of these seven Tortoise Shell Fragments. It is believed that no one would be foolish enough to attempt to steal them from the three factions; that would be tantamount to courting death.
As a result, the remaining six Tortoise Shell Fragments became targets for disciples eager for the Profound-Level Cultivation Method. They were filled with greed as they searched for the whereabouts of these six fragments.
Soon news spread that two Tortoise Shells were in the possession of Ren Pingsheng from Azure Wind Sword Sect, one was with Wu Zhi Dao from Yunxing Sect, and another was held by Wu Yang from Tiger Howl Sect. As for the other two Tortoise Shells that had changed hands multiple times, there was no information available.
No one cared about who spread this news; they were only focused on the Tortoise Shells and Profound-Level Techniques, having long since discarded any other concerns.
Many people in Azure Wind Secret Realm were searching for these individuals, including many disciples and friends from their own sects. As for their intentions, it was likely already common knowledge among passersby.
A new day began; this was the last day in Azure Wind Secret Realm.
"Oh, there is such detailed information. They wouldn't leak it themselves; it must be either Su Xu who lost a Tortoise Shell or someone who came later who received the news."
Ren Pingsheng lay against a large tree, pondering deeply. At this moment, he thought of Lu Shixiong mentioned by Chen Li. He had heard about yesterday's battle and considered that it was possible someone intentionally leaked information to divert attention.
"This is already the last day; those people will probably become even more frantic. I wonder what kind of situation Wu Zhi Dao and Wu Yang are in; if discovered, it could lead to a fierce struggle."
"Well, someone actually came." Ren Pingsheng looked surprised as he gazed into the distance, where two figures were chasing each other, slowly getting closer.
"It's him, what a coincidence." Upon recognizing the person being chased, his expression turned slightly unexpected, but more so, it was peculiar.
The person in question was none other than Zhang Jun, the guide Brother Shi they had encountered when they first entered the Azure Wind Sword Sect. It wasn't surprising that he had become an Inner Sect Disciple; it was just unexpected that he would also enter this Azure Wind Secret Realm.
Ren Pingsheng still clearly remembered how Zhang Jun had introduced himself with a smile, saying, "Perhaps we will have the chance to fight side by side in the future."
Time had passed too quickly; in the blink of an eye, nearly a year had gone by. This made him feel somewhat dazed.
"Zhang Jun, quickly tell me where Ren Pingsheng is. It must be your Azure Wind Sword Sect people who are hiding him," shouted a disciple from the Tiger Howl Sect, his expression fierce.
"Zhao Jun, don't go too far. I've already said I don't know where Ren Pingsheng is," Zhang Jun replied with a grim expression, yet his speed did not decrease at all.
"Hmph, your words are for the ghosts. As long as I catch you, I will find a way to make you talk."
"Oh, I'm very curious to know how you plan to make him talk. He isn't lying; no one knows my whereabouts," Ren Pingsheng suddenly blocked the two.
"You are Ren Pingsheng? Haha, finally found you." The two who stopped were taken aback. They hadn't expected to find this elusive Ren Pingsheng so dramatically.
Zhao Jun from the Tiger Howl Sect looked at Ren Pingsheng with greedy eyes, his gaze bloodshot and unblinking, like a lecher seeing an unparalleled beauty.
"Quickly tell me where your Tortoise Shell is hidden. If you do, I might consider sparing your life."
"Ha ha, another fellow driven mad by greed, what a pity!" Ren Pingsheng glanced at him and said with a hint of disdain.
"It seems I need to use some tricks; don't regret it later," Zhao Jun said with a sinister smile, lunging forward and striking down with his sword.
The momentum of his attack was only slightly inferior to Wu Yang's, demonstrating considerable strength. However, since Wu Yang was not a match for Ren Pingsheng, neither would Zhao Jun be taken seriously.
With a step forward, Ren Pingsheng easily dodged Zhao Jun's attack. His Longsword flashed, and countless sword shadows filled the air. In the moment Zhao Jun was distracted, the sword struck his Heart like a startling rainbow.
With a 'poof,' a mouthful of blood sprayed far away as he was sent flying. Zhao Jun's face was filled with disbelief; he had not even managed to block a single strike.
"You are far behind Wu Yang; at least he could withstand one of my blows," Ren Pingsheng said, twirling his sword before sheathing it, his tone calm.
'Poof,' another mouthful of blood escaped as Zhao Jun felt both anger and regret in his eyes. Then, like shattered glass, he lost all vitality. His eyes dimmed significantly, and he had already breathed his last.
"Thank you, Ren Shixiong, for your assistance," Zhang Jun said respectfully upon witnessing this scene, his expression changing.
"It was just a small effort; no need to be so polite. I didn't expect you to also enter the Azure Wind Secret Realm."
"I have been an Inner Sect Disciple for ten months now, but I am still far behind you, Ren Shixiong. I witnessed everything during the match against Tiger Howl Sect."
"That's all in the past now. By the way, why are you alone? Shouldn't you be with your fellow disciples?" Ren Pingsheng asked with some confusion. At this point, people from various sects should have gathered together. Only those who needed to remain hidden, like him, would be alone.
"This is done to draw you out. It was just a sudden idea; although it was like searching for a needle in a haystack, I didn't expect you to be so naive that you'd come out with just a little deception."
Suddenly, a figure flew in from a distance, moving at great speed, and in less than a breath's time, it arrived within three paces of him. This was exactly what he had just said, and behind him, more people continued to fly over. Zhang Jun also quickly retreated, instantly distancing himself from Ren Pingsheng, indicating that this had clearly been planned in advance.
"I thought you would stay hidden in the distance and not come out!" Ren Pingsheng showed no surprise at the appearance of these people or Zhang Jun's actions. He had known it was a conspiracy the moment he made his move; he just wanted to see who these people were.
"Hehe, let me introduce myself first. I am Pan Longkun, the top-ranked Inner Sect Disciple of Azure Wind Sword Sect." The handsome man with an eagle-like nose introduced himself.
"Oh, I have indeed heard of your name. But what brings you here to find me?"
"Ren Shidi, why ask when you already know? I heard that you obtained two pieces of Tortoise Shell; this is a blessing for my Azure Wind Sword Sect. Naturally, we as your Brother Disciples must protect you well. I wonder if those two pieces of Tortoise Shell are here?"
"So that's what this is about. I'm truly sorry, but the Tortoise Shell was taken from me not long ago; otherwise, I would definitely have brought it with me," Ren Pingsheng said with a helpless expression.
"Taken? Ren Shidi is truly joking. Why not take them out for us to appraise? After we leave, there will certainly be generous rewards," Pan Longkun said with an unchanged expression, but his imposing aura grew stronger.
"Oh, I heard that Brother Pan also obtained two pieces of Tortoise Shell; I wonder if you could let me appraise them as well?"
"What did you say? What status does Brother Pan hold? Helping you appraise them would be an honor for you. How dare you make such an excessive request?" Other Inner Sect Disciples nearby immediately shouted in indignation.
Pan Longkun watched with a smile on his face, seemingly enjoying the scene.
"Hehe, you people are quite interesting. As for Brother Pan, although your strength is decent, you're too hypocritical for my liking. I'm not interested in fighting with you fellow disciples, so I'll take my leave."
Ren Pingsheng glanced at those people, including the earlier Zhang Jun. Having seen their true colors, he lost interest in staying any longer. With a flicker of his figure, he was already thirty paces away.
"Hmph, trying to escape? It's not that easy." Pan Longkun's expression darkened, clearly bothered by Ren Pingsheng's evaluation. Seeing him about to leave, he swiftly chased after him.
Almost at the same time, he appeared thirty feet away, his speed not slowing at all. With a slash of his Longsword, he unleashed unmatched power, directly attacking Ren Pingsheng.
"Brother Shi Pan, you are too polite. I already said there's no need for that," Ren Pingsheng lightly probed forward with his sword. A Five-Star Strike, part of the Seven Star Sword Technique, directly shattered the opponent's attack. He said in a calm tone, "Besides, even if you try to make a move, you won't be able to stop me; you are not my match."
"Damn it, self-righteous brat! I'll let you know my strength," Pan Longkun seemed to hit a sore spot; for him, reputation was everything. With a furious roar, he raised his sword and charged again, this time with even greater force, raising dust that obscured the sky.
"I didn't expect I overestimated you; not only are you hypocritical but also a name-dropper." He chuckled lightly as he flicked his Longsword. A Wind Dragon materialized out of thin air, sweeping across the land. The dust in the sky cleared in an instant. The Wind Dragon then turned and collided with the opponent's Sword Light.
The booming sound lasted for several breaths before finally settling down. The massive Wind Dragon shrank by half but ultimately overwhelmed his opponent and surged toward Pan Longkun.
"How impressive!" Pan Longkun's expression changed as he rapidly slashed out six or seven strikes with his Longsword before successfully dispelling the Wind Dragon.
"This time you shouldn't send me off so enthusiastically!" Ren Pingsheng smiled faintly, somewhat sarcastically. Then, without warning, he vanished like Azure Wind passing through, leaving no trace behind.
Pan Longkun's face turned ashen with anger, yet he remained rational and did not strike again. Although he was unwilling to admit it, he was at a disadvantage in their earlier exchange.
When he saw Ren Pingsheng disappear into thin air, his eyes narrowed with apprehension. However, his anger grew stronger; for someone who had always stood at the pinnacle of Inner Sect Disciples, the humiliation of today's events was unacceptable.
"Ren Pingsheng, one day I will make you pay for everything that happened today."
