Chapter 775: Chapter 413: Polluted Evil World!_2
Not only did he repeatedly declare that he must request recognition for Su Ping’s achievements, but he also agreed to Su Ping’s other requests without hesitation.
And after just half a day’s effort,
Su Ping received a new batch of supplies collected by Deacon Xiahou, including a large amount of Spirit Stones.
As well as intelligence regarding areas more ravaged by demons.
Deacon Xiahou guessed that Su Ping had become addicted to slaying demons, and he didn’t think there was anything wrong with that.
Most of the areas where the demons ran rampant belonged to the Xuanwu Sect or their vassal forces.
Naturally, the sooner and quicker they were slain, the better!
Deacon Xiahou even planned an invasion route for Su Ping and reminded him of various details to be aware of.
At the same time,
On the main peak of the Xuanwu Sect,
Elder Lu’s face turned an iron blue as he listened to Deacon Xiahou’s report.
Then he turned his head to look at the Sect Master and the Deputy Sect Master on the platform.
The Sect Master of the Xuanwu Sect was a middle-aged man with an elegant demeanor and a three-inch red beard.
He slightly squinted his eyes, staring at Elder Lu:
“The Sect Master was cut off from communication with Junior Brother White Tiger not long ago.”
“It seems Junior Brother White Tiger is more likely in bad luck than good.”
“Now the question is, how much does the other party know.”
Having said this, the Sect Master paused before saying:
“Elder Lu, would you please take some Spirit Stones to make contact? It’s alright to suffer a little indignity, just to exchange back the Harmonization Demon Crystal in their hands.”
“Afterward, this venerable self will ask the disciples of the Xuanhu Hall to take action, regardless of what the other side has planned.”
“It no longer matters.”
Hearing this, Elder Lu hurriedly nodded and then took his leave.
By using the Xuanwu Sect’s Big Array for teleportation,
Elder Lu found Su Ping when he was heading to another Small World.
But what made him embarrassed was that Su Ping only provided the remains of demons below the level of Harmonization.
Not a single key Harmonization Demon Crystal was given.
This made Elder Lu seriously doubt that the other party must have known something.
And he felt that the Sect Master’s decision was wise and powerful.
After giving Spirit Stones and taking away some of the remains,
Elder Lu left Su Ping’s Immortal Boat, standing on a turtle shell, and snickered as he saw Su Ping’s Immortal Boat sail away into the distance.
Just as he was about to leave,
He suddenly discovered a Guardian Divine Monarch with a bizarre aura, standing tens of thousands of meters tall behind him without him knowing when it appeared.
Accompanied by an angry scolding, the presence of which shook his Divine Soul,
The large hand of this Guardian Divine Monarch, holding a greenish thunderbolt, crashed down.
In the blink of an eye, the green thunder completely enveloped Elder Lu,
Instantly penetrating his protective spirit light and various protective treasures, leaving his body riddled with holes.
Then another hand reached out to grab Elder Lu, dragging him into the Netherworld to keep the dwarf old man company.
By accessing Elder Lu’s memories,
Su Ping knew that an ambush by the Xuanwu Sect lay ahead.
However, even knowing there was an ambush, Su Ping nonetheless proceeded towards it.
Upon realizing he was blacklisted by the Xuanwu Sect,
Su Ping knew that if he wanted to collect resources in the Lower Realm, he couldn’t avoid uprooting this power.
Having decided to fight, it was best to take advantage while the enemy was unaware of his divide-and-conquer tactics.
Taking out the enemy’s high-tier forces at this opportunity was undoubtedly a profitable move.
Otherwise, if the enemy retreated back to their sect, it would be harder to deal with them with their formations.
A day later,
Su Ping even took the time to return to Water Blue Star to complete the fishing mission.
Then he leisurely piloted the Immortal Boat, entering the Small Thousand World known as the White Cloud Realm.
The White Cloud Realm was a vassal to the Xuanwu Sect, controlled by the White Cloud Sect,
A sect that followed the Incense Fire Divine Path and whose White Cloud Divine Monarch and White Cloud Thirteen Divine Girls, nourished by thousands of years of Incense Fire Divine Power, were well-known in the surrounding areas.
Many small powers, wishing for protection and the removal of curses, chose to collectively worship the White Cloud Divine Monarch.
At the time of the demon invasion, the White Cloud Realm was also considered one of the mainstays of resistance against the demons.
When Su Ping saw the durian-shaped Small Thousand World of the White Cloud Realm,
The White Cloud Realm was mostly intact, with only a few minor worlds on the edge being invaded, and they were still struggling with demons inside the world.
As soon as Su Ping appeared, he attracted the attention of the local high-level officials.
Immediately, a full-bodied female Deputy Sect Hierarch’s illusion appeared, inviting Su Ping into the Small World to discuss the important matter of Demon Slaying together.
Su Ping glanced at her and sighed lightly,
“Does this Taoist Friend truly know nothing?”
“Know what?”
The female cultivator who came to invite him was puzzled for a moment.
“These invading demons are all related to the Xuanwu Sect.”
“If you truly work hard at Demon Slaying, you would become an enemy of the Xuanwu Sect…”
Su Ping sighed, after capturing Elder Lu, he felt there was no need to continue this act.
The Vice Sect Hierarch of the White Cloud Sect turned pale and disappeared without even inquiring about the aftermath.
Seeing this reaction, Su Ping guessed that the other party probably really didn’t know about the matter.
However, whether their Sect Hierarch knew about it or not, or who he would choose to support if he did, was hard to say.
As the Vice Sect Hierarch disappeared, dozens of white lights flew out from the White Cloud Realm.
Suddenly, those white lights transformed into kilometer-long Tower Ships shaped like Immortal Boats.
On the decks of the Immortal Boats, numerous Cultivators from the Xuanhu Sect and metal Puppets a hundred meters tall were stationed.
This time, the forces that came to oppose Su Ping numbered as many as four Harmonization Cultivators.
Moreover, behind this fleet from the White Cloud Realm, the silhouette of a Divine Palace could be vaguely seen.
Above the Divine Palace, a ten-thousand-meter-high illusion of the White Cloud Divine Monarch flickered in and out of visibility.
Around this White Cloud Divine Monarch, dozens of auras of at least Returning to Void Realm were concealed.
From the auras, they were from more than ten different sects.
Obviously, they were the Guest Elders and tributes that had previously accepted assignments and come to the White Cloud Realm.
These people were all gathering their strength and seemed to be preparing a Big Move.
However, Su Ping could faintly sense that,
they were also observing and waiting for the collision between the Xuanwu Sect and Su Ping.
After all, a force that could provoke the Xuanwu Sect to deploy so many Harmonization warriors,
they were also speculating about the identity of the strong force that suddenly appeared.
And then… naturally, they would side with whoever won!
“Four Harmonization Middle Period Cultivators?”
“Their bodies flicker with spirit light, they must have Divine Weapons that have recognized them as masters.”
“Plus so many Immortal Boats and Puppets reinforced by Artifact Refiners of at least the Sixth Tier.”
“Normally speaking, that would be an ultra-luxurious lineup for dealing with a single Harmonization enemy.”
“Only a pity, I have never relied solely on my own power!”
Su Ping didn’t make a fuss.
Seeing that the enemy had come in formation and knowing there was no chance of a sneak attack,
the Sun, Moon, and Stars Map appeared above and unfolded slowly.
Soon enough, Su Ping’s side also displayed an even more extravagant array of forces.
A million Netherworld Ghost Army troops for cheering and flag-waving.
Twelve Immortal Boats equipped with ship cannons and one interstellar warship that had been modified.
And in the very front, the avatar of Su Ping’s Primordial Spirit and the four Big Demons.
Behind the vast military formation, the Netherworld Guardian Divine Monarch with the light of Netherworld Thunderbolts supported the entire backdrop.
This made the advancing Cultivators from Xuanwu Sect display a grave expression.
They couldn’t help but be solemn.
The mere presence formed by the Netherworld Guardian Divine Monarch and a million Netherworld Ghost Pawns alone was already no less imposing than the Divine Mighty of the White Cloud Sect.
Add to that the sudden appearance of four Harmonization Demons on the other side,
and in terms of high-tier combat power, they suddenly found themselves at a disadvantage.
However, they weren’t too panicked; there were differences even among the Harmonization realm.
They could still tell that their opponents were all in the Early Period of Harmonization, while they were in the Middle Period.
In a prolonged battle, they should have a considerable advantage.
And every one of them was empowered by a Divine Weapon that had recognized them as masters.
If it really came to a fight, the advantage would surely be theirs!
Even those opportunists, seeing the momentum of the other side, would probably become even more cautious.
After a sweep of Divine Thought over the White Cloud Sect and sect Guest Elders behind them,
the leading Harmonization Cultivator drew out a cyan Flying Sword.
He was the first to turn into a Sword Light and rush over.
It seemed he intended to strike first and gain the upper hand!
“Junior Brother Lin’s Soul Division Soul Leaving Sword Light has improved again!”
“With his move, he is sure to accomplish something and strike at the enemy’s morale!”
“Everyone be ready, prepare to strike together!”
The rest of the Harmonization Cultivators followed closely behind, ready to expand their victory.
But the figure they had pinned their hopes on, Junior Brother Lin, struck a suddenly appeared enormous tortoise shell with his sword.
Bang!
The cyan Flying Sword, being a Divine Weapon, made a muffled giant thud upon hitting the shell,
but it was unable to move the tortoise shell even slightly.
Instead, Junior Brother Lin almost lost his grip on his sword and let out a muffled grunt as he spat out a mouthful of golden blood due to the rebound.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The attacks from the other Harmonization Cultivators also landed on the shell.
Some of them had already intended to pull back, but the shell seemed to have a special attraction, preventing them from stopping their own momentum, and they crashed into it.
The result was naturally that the mana they had put into their attacks was swallowed up without a trace,
and they themselves suffered some kind of rebound injury, causing a temporary halt in the flow of mana inside their bodies!
