The Blood Cloud obscured Divine Sense. Lao Luo shifted his legs, deciding to cast a protective spell, the Yi Mu Qing Gang Technique, to guard against any surprise attack from Zhang Hongyan. Qu Xiaobing was also within the Blood Cloud, and if they took advantage of the cover to ambush his disciple, it would be disastrous. Thinking this way, Lao Luo couldn't help but return to Gu Ping and the others, unwilling to take any risks.
"What's wrong?" Gu Ping asked, surprised to see Lao Luo back.
Lao Luo's intention became clear to Minghong. He preferred to protect the three elders rather than recklessly charge into the Blood Sea to capture Zhang Hongyan. To them, a talented disciple with potential was far more valuable than a traitor to the Sect. Such actions left Gu Ping at a loss for words.
Indeed, that approach was the safest. However, if they allowed Zhang Hongyan and Qu Xiaobing to escape during this time, what would they do then? It was one thing to catch a thief; it was another to be on constant guard against them. If they let the two slip away now, it would undoubtedly lead to greater trouble later.
The three elders felt that there was no miraculous wind capable of dispelling this Blood Cloud. They exchanged glances and shook their heads in unison at Gu Ping, creating an awkward atmosphere. As Gu Ping had said, there was no miraculous wind technique known in Tiandong Sect; typically, cultivators wouldn't use such time-consuming and labor-intensive spells just to blow away a cloud of mist. The only practical use of such a spell was to disperse enemy formations or illusions in situations like this one. Therefore, when rewards were offered by the Sect, few would choose such an impractical spell that had little real value. Even if disciples learned it, they often neglected practice and discarded it afterward.
Given this situation, Gu Ping felt that if they didn't give the two an opportunity, they would surely try to escape the battlefield quickly. Instead of waiting for reinforcements while remaining passive, it would be better to take the initiative. The three elders were deep within the Blood Cloud; he believed they could hold out for a moment longer and keep a close watch on Zhang Hongyan and Qu Xiaobing. Only then could they resolve this issue once and for all.
No, Zhang Hongyan was a disciple of Divine Sword Peak and trained in one of the most formidable techniques in the Sect—the Primordial Opening Sword. He also possessed a mid-grade Ling Spirit sword. How could Bu Luo withstand an attack from a Divine Cultivator, especially one who was purely a Sword Cultivator?
Lao Luo firmly rejected this idea, resolutely refusing to let Gu Ping take risks. He had previously used Gu Ping as bait because he had given him a Transmission Jade Slip as a trump card. If Gu Ping were to act recklessly now, he might truly face life-threatening danger—something Lao Luo never intended when he initially sent Gu Ping after the Demon Cultivator.
If it were any other ordinary deity, Lao Luo might have considered it carefully; however, he could not agree with Zhang Hongyan's actions. Eight out of ten cultivators in Tiandong Sect wielded swords; could someone simply holding a sword be called a Sword Cultivator? Although there were distinctions in swordsmanship techniques, disciples from various Major Sects typically mastered one or two flying sword techniques for combat. If asked why this was so, it likely stemmed from youthful vanity—a desire for recognition through flashy displays of skill in flying sword combat. There was nothing wrong with mastering such impressive techniques over time.
Could that be called a true Sword Cultivator?
A true Sword Cultivator does not spend their entire life accompanied by a sword, nor do they revere ghosts or gods, or believe in immortals. They only trust the three feet of Azure Wind beneath their legs, wielding their sword to carve a path through the heavens, forging a destiny that truly belongs to the swordsman. In ancient times, the most promising individual was Yin Tianheng. Although he could be considered half a Sword Cultivator, he ultimately strayed from the path of the sword.
Next is the Primordial Slashing Immortal Celestial, who wields a Slaying Immortal Sword to slay countless gods and buddhas, instilling fear and dread in people's hearts. Many Sword Cultivators look up to him as an example.
Having been trapped by the Primordial Sovereign, he has already merged with his being and has walked the path of Yuan Shi to slay the Celestial Sovereign. In this life, he does not seek anything beyond that supreme existence. Who could blame Chen Taiyi for his own demise benefiting Gu Ping? It seems that slaying the Celestial Sovereign would allow Coco to reach that endpoint and glimpse the secrets of heaven.
Gu Ping had received news during his six months outside the sect that there was a master at the Ancestor level with many advantages, allowing access to information about Tian Zai, which was one of them.
Yan Dong reassured Lao Luo to leave without worry. Gu Ping secretly transmitted a message to Lao Luo, indicating that he had a powerful trump card for him. If Lao Luo was truly uneasy, he could have Jing Elder stay by his side while Liu Elder and Lao Luo searched through Blood Sea for enemy traces. Everyone knew that if Lao Luo was there, Zhang Hongyan would not make a move; she would be closely monitoring the actions of the three. The question was whether Lao Luo had the courage to let Gu Ping set that bait again. That situation was something Lao Luo had never anticipated before.
Ru Ming had no other choice. Lao Luo glanced at Gu Ping, sighed, and turned to leave in search of Zhang Hongyan. It was known that if Lao Luo went far enough, Zhang Hongyan would surely make her move. Qu Xiaobing would also ensure Gu Ping faced dire consequences; it all depended on whether Gu Ping could hold out until Lao Luo returned in time after both of them made their moves.
