Hearing Gu Ping's words, Fu Xiaohai was instantly taken aback. Gu Ping had likely anticipated the situation that would arise tomorrow, so regardless of which side was at fault, he had to find a way to extricate himself.
Indeed, everyone was now aware that the young man before them posed no threat whatsoever. Yet, he sought to achieve something from this situation: to remove himself from the predicament while ensuring that everyone else remained oblivious. If he could throw out the Light Canon, Gu Ping would successfully distance himself from the chaos. After that, it was unlikely anyone would consider a mere mortal as a threat.
But would Yan Dong and his group give Gu Ping such an opportunity?
What if I give him something, and then he escorts me to the Flowing Cloud Realm? Fu Xiaohai joked with Gu Ping, showing no signs of being trapped.
What could our group say? As Gu Ping lightly tore a page from a book and almost swallowed it whole, Fu Xiaohai's face turned pale. He laughed and said, "I wonder if that page will disappear or turn into something else."
Before Gu Ping could finish his sentence, laughter erupted from him. Fu Xiaohai, finally losing his patience, flashed forward to within five meters of Gu Ping and launched an attack.
Gu Ping stared at the strange curve of the weapon swinging toward him without any intention of dodging. His eyes coldly observed the blade as it glinted with a chilling light. He could clearly see every detail of the blade; even the slight scratches on its surface sent a shiver down his spine. The sharp curve stopped just inches from Gu Ping's forehead.
Liu Lao Jiu intervened at that moment, extending his leg to block Fu Xiaohai's furious strike aimed at Gu Ping's chest.
I should learn to remain calm, thought Gu Ping. Acting rashly could come with a price.
While coldly observing Fu Xiaohai, he tore another page from the book and ignited it with Firestarter. Fu Xiaohai's furious gaze turned to ashes.
Fu Xiaohai trembled with rage, gripping his weapon tightly as he attempted once more to press forward and cleave Gu Ping in two. However, no matter what he tried, he couldn't do it because he realized Liu Lao Jiu's stance was firm, emanating a wave of spiritual energy that surpassed what an initial-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator should possess—stronger even than his own late-stage Foundation Establishment level. Moreover, others had already surrounded them; their attacks were about to fall upon the three of them.
Indeed, Leng Gucun and others did not avoid Gu Ping; they directly targeted him and his companions.
At that moment, Gu Ping made a move that left Fu Xiaohai both shocked and furious. He used the book he was holding as a shield, placing it behind him to block a flying dart from a cultivator of the Moon River Sect.
Indeed, when the members of the Moon River Sect saw the dart being blocked, they all instinctively halted in their tracks. No matter how weak that dart's attack power was, it was still enough to harm an ordinary person. At that moment, Liu Lao Jiu was unable to pull his leg back as he was still riding on Fu Xiaohai.
Zhang Chenglin was the only one who clearly saw Gu Ping's actions. The broken Golden Bell Talisman explained everything. Just as Gu Ping had spotted Fu Xiaohai, he had already activated the Golden Bell Talisman. The faint yellowish glow of Bright Sunlight was almost imperceptible, and using a book to block the dart certainly wouldn’t provoke Fu Xiaohai; it was nothing special at all.
Seeing that everyone had abandoned their offensive intentions, Gu Ping tossed the now tattered book to the ground and pulled out another book from his robe. With a teasing tone, he said, "Oh dear, my mistake! I accidentally grabbed the wrong one. That was just my own recording; this one is the real deal."
Having regained his composure, Fu Xiaohai clenched his fists and slowly began to retreat. If looks could kill, Gu Ping would have died a thousand times by now.
"How about this? Why not consider Yi Dong's proposal? I'll take care of those people for you, and then you can hand over what you owe me," Gu Ping said again in an infuriating tone, half-closing his eyes so that Fu Xiaohai wouldn’t see even a hint of emotion from him.
At that moment, Fu Xiaohai suddenly felt an ominous premonition. Tomorrow, if he wanted to obtain the Light Canon, it might not be as easy as he thought. He glanced at his current predicament and then flipped his leg over, revealing a shimmering silver Jade Token. Gan Yuan, Zhang Chenglin, Mu Qinglong, and others exchanged surprised glances as they subtly adjusted their spiritual energy to activate the Jade Token, which slowly began to outline a teleportation portal in mid-air.
Gu Ping smiled; Gan Yuan also smiled; Leng Gucun wore a slight grin; Mu Qinglong shook his head slowly while Zhang Chenglin brought out the spiritual instrument Yu Xiao and began to play a melodious tune.
On the other side of the portal, figures emerged one after another with graceful flute music accompanying them. They were dressed differently, wielding various weapons, and had diverse appearances—some male and some female. Just like Bu Luo, everyone looked coldly at those around them; they knew that since they had arrived, it was time for battle.
