Ten days ago, someone reported that Ying Zhan, accompanied by a tiger, appeared on the battlefield like the war god Dong Fan, wreaking havoc among the Nine Nether Army as if it were a desolate land.
Three days ago, news emerged that remnants of the Light Path Classic were captured on the Northern Battlefield. Although they fought fiercely against the Nine Nether Army, they were ultimately defeated outside the city gates, where many had perished in battle.
Much of the information was dismissed as hearsay, but it was confirmed directly by an Elder. Regarding the Nine Nether Invasion and events on the Northern Battlefield, unless one was present, no one could summarize it succinctly.
As they discussed this, the three of them fell silent for a long time. In such a vast Two Realms War, individual power felt incredibly insignificant. On large battlefields, spiritual energy turbulence could occur, drastically reducing a cultivator's ability to harness Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. Thus, even Mahayana Practitioners could not rely solely on their personal strength to turn the tide of battle. If one Mahayana Practitioner made a mistake, others would not stand idly by; everyone would weigh their options and initially see who had more trump cards.
Knock knock knock.
A series of urgent knocks echoed at the door. Gu Ping stood up and approached the entrance. Upon glancing through the peephole, he was surprised to see Lao Luo.
Why did Lao Luo come personally?
"Can we talk inside?"
Seeing Lao Luo looking around furtively like a thief, Gu Ping knew he must have something important to discuss.
"Please come in."
"Is it really safe for them?"
"Don't worry, Brother from Sect. Pingyue is just chatting with friends; you can rest assured."
He glanced at Cai Jiang and Yang Buqi, feeling reassured by Lao Luo. He had observed their performance during the Sect Martial Arts Tournament and noted how both of them were concerned about Outer Sect and Jie Donglai's strong emphasis on cultivating talent. How could he not be worried?
From the Fish Princess, they received confirmed news that Demonic Cultivators had infiltrated the three major branches of the Sect: Discipline Peak, Lianyao Peak, and Refining Peak. With the impending Nine Nether Invasion and the emergence of demonic activity outside the Sect, it could be said that they faced both internal and external threats. After discussing with Master Yi from Discipline Peak, they initially decided that he should step forward to root out those hidden Demonic Cultivators, ensuring that the Sect disciples could focus on countering the Nine Nether Invasion. He wondered what his intentions were.
"Me?" Gu Ping pointed at himself. The expressions on Cai Jiang and Yang Buqi's faces were as vivid as could be. He had just recently established his foundation and was still solidifying his cultivation. How could the Sect trust him to investigate demonic activities? Were they afraid he would be devoured by a Demonic Cultivator?
He didn't need to pursue demonic traces; they just hoped he could act a bit more arrogantly these days and not stay cooped up at Tian Zai's place, leaving them without any opportunity to act.
So they wanted him to be bait? The Fish Princess matter had nothing to do with them seeking interest; now they wanted him to go out as bait? They shouldn't underestimate his worth.
"I don't deny it." Was there really no other way? He understood that Ru Ming and the Demonic Cultivators were in a difficult situation; they wouldn't expose their hidden forces outside the Sect just because of one Fish Princess. But if a Foundation Practitioner were to lose control in anger, that was something he couldn't deny. Demonic Cultivators were generally quite violent, and anyone related to the Fish Princess would surely come looking for revenge. He just needed to pry open a gap, and he guaranteed that Discipline Peak would capture those beasts in one fell swoop.
Did he think he was a three-year-old child? Hearing Lao Luo's words, Gu Ping erupted in anger. Did Discipline Peak really believe he would go looking for them? Did Discipline Peak have such great patience that it would allow Demonic Cultivators to roam freely within the Sect? Did Discipline Peak truly have the ability to capture all Demonic Cultivators without any information at all? Did they really think he had never experienced anything before?
After speaking, Gu Ping flicked his bangs off his forehead, leaving Lao Luo feeling awkward, his expression shifting between sunny and cloudy.
"Master Yi said if I could accomplish this task, I would be exceptionally allowed to become True Inheritance directly without needing to place in the top five."
"No way."
Lao Luo inhaled sharply, then continued, "Master Yi mentioned that if I performed excellently, there would be a Medium-Grade Magical Artifact as a reward."
"No way."
"Hey, my boy," Lao Luo exclaimed, slapping his thigh. "Master Yi said that if I could dig out even one more Demonic Cultivator, he would let me learn one of the secret techniques from the Shrimp Radiance Sect's inheritance."
"One Qi Three Purities?" Gu Ping's face suddenly revealed a strange smile, causing Lao Luo's face to twitch. "Deal."
