Master Huo Ling didn't seem to expect that layman Qingming would appear here. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "Qingming, are you trying to interfere in my Taoist affairs?"
The layman Qingming curled his lips and said: "You deceived your master and destroyed your ancestors a long time ago and left Taoism. Now you claim to be a Taoist disciple. Do you want to pass the responsibility to Taoism after taking action? Can you save some face? Besides, what if you are really a Taoist? , When I was in the East China Sea, I had already fought against the Kunlun Mountains of your Taoist ancestral family, would I care about you, the Fire Spirit Master, who deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors?"
Master Huo Ling narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "You are only in your godly stage, yet you dare to speak so brazenly."
Master Qingming smiled and said: "If Kunlun Mountain is in the integration stage, I may not be able to handle it, but you..."
He curled his lips and continued: "You are in the integration stage, but you are only a sage. Although I am only in the distraction stage, you are still a sage. So the gap between you and me is not as big as you think."
At this point, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and those in the hall gradually moved away from the two people, fearing that they would be affected.
That was a battle between two wise men. No matter who was stronger or weaker, if a fight really broke out, they would definitely be affected, and they would not know how they would die by then.
At this time, layman Qingming looked at Li Xiuping and said, "Boy, you go first, don't forget to bring those things with you."
Li Xiuping nodded, but he would not really stay to help. A battle of this level was no longer something he could intervene in.
"Senior, be careful."
Li Xiuping said, looking at the people of Hua Tian Sect and Tian Lan Sect.
Without Li Xiuping saying anything, the Hua Tian Sect and Tian Lan Sect followed Li Xiuping to the backyard for the final handover.
As Li Xiuping and others left, as soon as they reached the backyard, the entire yard in front exploded and was instantly razed to the ground!
Two figures soared into the sky, and in an instant the sea of clouds surged and the waves became violent.
After Li Xiuping completed the handover with Qingxuguan, he headed east with his sword and continued to Emperor Wu City.
After Li Xiuping left, several strong men from the Dongyang faction appeared, all frowning.
A disciple of the Dongyang Sect smiled and said: "The elders are still smart. Now Li Xiuping is only focused on escaping for his life. Our two hundred thousand spiritual stones can be considered saved."
The elder of Dongyang Sect smiled and said: "It's because he has made too many enemies. He even dares to offend Taoists. Isn't this asking for death?"
A Dongyang Sect disciple said worriedly: "This Li Xiuping won't come back, will he?"
Before the Dongyang Sect elder could speak, a Dongyang Sect disciple smiled and said: "Come back? Unless he doesn't want to live anymore. He is a strong man in the integration stage. Even if the Qingming layman really helps him, he will at most They are just helping him delay time. Although they are all sages, how can the distraction period and the integration period be the same?"
The elder of the Dongyang Sect nodded, looked back at the direction Li Xiuping left, looked at the battle above the sea of clouds, and then said: "Go back, this kind of thing is no longer something we can interfere with. This Pay more attention to the situation of Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect in the next few days. If no accident occurs, these two families may be..."
A disciple nodded, and then said with a smile: "Then it will be our Dongyang Sect's opportunity. The rise of the sect will be just around the corner."
As he said that, everyone disappeared one after another.
Li Xiuping flew eastward with his sword for a short distance and then stopped.
He was still a little worried about the Qingming layman. After all, he was only at the distraction stage, but what he had to deal with was a strong man at the integration stage.
Now that we are out of the battlefield, we naturally need to ensure the safety of the Qingming layman.
"Don't worry. Although the old man is only at the distraction stage, he is a sword cultivator after all. The Taoist can't do anything to him."
Li Xiuping in the spiritual sea spoke.
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "Is the sword cultivator that powerful?"
Li Xiuping in the spiritual sea said: "Nonsense, otherwise, why do you think the guy from Xijianchi was able to fight against the strong men in the Tribulation Stage with the help of the monks in the integration stage, and why he was able to defend the Xijianchi, one of the holy places, with one person and one sword? Otherwise, why do you think you are only at the Foundation Establishment stage, but you are able to cross borders and kill monks who are higher than you again and again? Isn't it because of the majestic sword intent in your body?"
Li Xiuping was stunned.
Li Xiuping in the spiritual sea continued: "While they are fighting fiercely, should we go to Dongyang Sect for a walk? It's not that far anyway."
Li Xiuping was stunned. He had actually forgotten about this matter.
Li Xiuping asked with certainty: "There really won't be any accidents?"
Li Xiuping in the spiritual sea shook his head and said: "No."
Li Xiuping looked away, nodded and said, "Then let's go to Dongyang Sect."
It was an obvious fact that the Dongyang faction wanted to kill him, and the Dongyang faction had promised to give him 200,000 spiritual stones in order to keep that woman. Originally, according to the agreement, the 200,000 spirit stones should be delivered to him before the end of the Lingbao Trading Conference, but until now, he has not seen the shadow of Dongyang Sect, let alone the 200,000 spirit stones.
Two hundred thousand spiritual stones is not a small sum, not to mention that it was promised by the Dongyang Sect and used to buy his life. Now that he is in danger, the Dongyang Sect has gone back on its promise and has no intention of keeping its promise. Then you can't blame Li Xiuping for having a dark heart.
If the Dongyang Sect sends 200,000 spirit stones at this time, Li Xiuping will definitely forget about it and continue eastward only after confirming the safety of layman Qingming. However, it is obvious that the Dongyang Sect intends not to keep its promise.
Since the Dongyang Sect wouldn't give it to him, he would go get it himself. As for how much he could take away at that time, it all depended on Li Xiuping's mood.
Damn it! If you can't deal with a real Huo Ling, is it possible that you can't deal with a Dongyang sect that only has strong men in the transformation stage?
Li Xiuping took out the map and after confirming the location of the Dongyang Sect, he directly headed towards the Dongyang Sect with his sword.
The Dongyang Sect probably never dreamed that just because of 200,000 spirit stones, the entire Dongyang Sect would almost disappear into the practice world, let alone that the guy who fled would come directly to the Dongyang Sect.
At this moment, everyone in Dongyang Sect is busy dealing with many things.
In this area, apart from Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect, Dongyang Sect is the most powerful and has the deepest foundation. In addition, Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect have been fighting endlessly in the past few years, and there have been many fights overtly and secretly. The foundation of the sect has long been inferior to what it used to be, so the Dongyang sect, which is the weakest among the three sects, has become more and more prestigious in the past two years, and has actually formed a three-legged trend.
Because of the grievances between the Tianlan Sect and the Huatian Sect, the Dongyang Sect can be said to have both sides, because no matter which family the Dongyang Sect gets close to, the chance of winning will be much greater, and the Dongyang Sect is not stupid. Neither family can be offended. He didn't help either family, but he also established good relations with both families.
Now Dongyang Sect still needs time to grow. If it really helps any of them, there will only be two sects left in this area. As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Whether it is Tianlan Sect or Huatian Sect, once one of them is solved, After taking a breath, the Dongyang Sect will inevitably be attacked, and no one of them can compete with the Dongyang Sect now.
With the three pillars standing together and allowing the two families to constantly fight, the Dongyang Sect will be able to gain more benefits. When the resources of the two families are almost exhausted, and the Dongyang Sect will wipe out both of them in one fell swoop, the Dongyang Sect will become the biggest winner.
All of this has actually been part of the Dongyang Sect's plan, but because of the appearance of Li Xiuping, the Tianlan Sect and the Huatian Sect actually showed signs of shaking hands and making peace. This is really not a good thing for the Dongyang Sect.
Once the Tianlan Sect and the Huatian Sect shake hands and make peace, they will join forces and destroy the Dongyang Sect, which is just a matter of a snap.
But now, because of Li Xiuping, even if Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect really shake hands and make peace, they will inevitably be suppressed by all forces afterwards, and even the Huoling Master will come forward in person.
In front of a wise man, this so-called alliance is just a companion in times of destruction and has no effect at all.
Once Tianlan Sect and Huatian Sect are destroyed, there will be only one Dongyang Sect in this land. At that time, Dongyang Sect can still establish a relationship with those hidden sects and find a strong backer. After all, those hidden sects need to find A spokesperson to take over this place.
In other words, as long as the Tianlan Sect and the Huatian Sect are destroyed, it will only benefit the Dongyang Sect without any disadvantages. At the worst, the Dongyang Sect can also establish a relationship with the Jiumen and become the true master of this area.
"The Great Elder and the others are back."
A Dongyang Sect disciple looked at the returning Dongyang Sect people and shouted.
A woman walked out of the hall at this time, and just as the great elder landed on the ground with several disciples of the Dongyang Sect.
The woman asked: "Why did you come back so quickly? Didn't Li Xiuping make things difficult for you?"
A disciple of Dongyang Sect smiled and said: "Embarrassed? He is afraid that he cannot protect himself now."
The woman was stunned.
The disciple continued: "This Li Xiuping is so sharp that he makes enemies everywhere. Even the Huoling Master can no longer stand him. If that kid didn't have the support of a wise man behind him, he would have been wiped out by now."
The woman asked curiously: "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
The disciples of the Dongyang Sect began to talk about the situations encountered during this trip.
After hearing this, the woman was shocked at first, then with a smile on her face, she said viciously: "You deserve it. How dare you treat me like that? It's best not to fall into my hands, otherwise he will not be able to live or die."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon roar rang out from the sky.
Everyone couldn't help but look up and saw that a pitch black dragon appeared in the sky above the Dongyang Sect. And above the pitch black dragon, stood a young man. Who could he be if he wasn't Li Xiuping?
Seeing Li Xiuping, everyone was filled with disbelief. They never expected that this guy would appear in the Dongyang Sect.
Li Xiuping said with a smile: "I really want to see how the girl made me unable to survive or die?"
As the words fell, the jet-black dragon continued to lower, and waves of majestic pressure continued to suppress it, covering the entire Dongyang Sect.
That was the pressure of a great demon in the Nascent Soul stage, and even more so, the pressure of an immortal beast with the blood of an immortal beast.
Under this kind of pressure, the monks at the Nascent Soul stage could still hold on, but the monks at the Golden Core stage and below couldn't bear it at all, and they all knelt on the ground involuntarily.
"Li Xiuping, don't go too far!"
An old voice suddenly sounded, and then a stream of light shot directly towards Li Xiuping. An old man with white hair and beard appeared out of thin air. He formed seals with his hands and directly opened the sect-protecting formation.
As the sect-protecting formation was activated, the coercion exerted on the entire Dongyang Sect also disappeared. The Dongyang Sect disciples could barely breathe, and then took out their magic weapons one by one, staring at the dragon and the dragon. Li Xiuping, all with angry faces, seemed to be ready to sacrifice for the sect at any time.
Li Xiuping looked at the sect-protecting formation below and frowned slightly.
With his current ability, coupled with the jet black dragon, with all his strength, at most he can barely deal with those who are considered to be powerful in the God Transformation Stage.
Nowadays, there is a strong man in the God Transformation stage presiding over the sect-protecting formation, and he cannot directly enter the Dongyang Sect's mountain gate, unless he lets another one take action.
However, although letting another person take action can break the Dongyang Sect's sect-protecting formation and even destroy the entire Dongyang Sect in an instant, the trauma after the exchange will also cost Li Xiuping a huge price.
Li Xiuping didn't know how the two sages were fighting now. Once they were seriously injured, they would no longer be able to deal with changes. If they were overtaken by other strong men, they would really be dead.
Because of what happened at the Lingbao Trading Conference, I don’t know how many people are secretly watching Li Xiuping now. The reason why they haven’t taken action until now is just because they are not sure about Li Xiuping’s strength. Once he is injured, those who are hiding will The guys in the dark will definitely swarm him, and no other Qingming layman will come out to ensure his safety.
Li Xiuping stood on the head of the jet black dragon, looking at the head of the Dongyang Sect below, the powerful man in the God Transformation stage.
"Isn't it your Dongyang faction who deceives others? First, they sent people to assassinate me. Then in order to survive, they promised to give me two hundred thousand spiritual stones. But they haven't seen me until now. I took a huge risk and came here. It’s just asking for something that belongs to me, but it’s my fault instead.”
Because Li Xiuping's body continued to rise and fall with the huge body of the jet black dragon, his voice became high and low, but it was just enough to cover the entire Dongyang Sect and be heard by the entire Dongyang Sect's disciples.
The head of Dongyang Sect frowned and said nothing.
Li Xiuping continued: "Since you are unwilling to pay for their lives, then I have no choice but to take their lives."
The woman said at this time: "You dare to speak nonsense in front of Master even after a small period of foundation building. I want to see how you take my life."
All the disciples of the Dongyang Sect were looking at Li Xiuping in the sky at this moment, their eyes full of disdain. In their opinion, as long as they stood under the sect's formation, as long as the leader was standing in front of them, they would not any danger.
Li Xiuping's expectations were a bit colder, and he sighed: "Since you want to die so much, then I will help you."
After saying that, a spiritual boat appeared in his hand.
This thing was given to Li Xiuping by the master of Xiaoyao Sect when he was in Xiaoyao Sect. The original intention was to allow Li Xiuping to walk less distance when he went north, but because driving the spirit boat consumes too much spirit stones, and Li Xiuping Shuhei is a miser, so he would rather walk a few more days than waste spiritual stones.
He is not a member of the Xiaoyao Sect. He doesn't feel sorry for the spirit stone at all. He can just take it out and burn it, just to maximize the effect of the spirit boat.
Li Xiuping accepted the spirit boat in the first place because the Xiaoyao Sect's spirit boat was different from the spirit boats he had seen before. He didn't know how it was refined. As long as there were enough spirit stones to drive it, It can integrate offense and defense, and its power is no worse than that of an immortal weapon.
The only flaw is that in order for this thing to be most effective, the spirit stone needs to be burned directly.
The reason why Li Xiuping took out the spirit boat now was because other than this method, there was no better way to break through the Dongyang Sect's sect-protecting formation as quickly as possible. Besides, Li Xiuping is not short of money now.
But the main reason was that the Dongyang Sect owed him a full two hundred thousand spiritual stones, and the Dongyang Sect's attitude made him very unhappy.
If he didn't come, if he didn't break the Dongyang Sect's sect-protecting formation, he wouldn't be able to get the two hundred thousand spiritual stones. In the same way, as long as you can break through the Dongyang Sect's sect-protecting formation, you can get 200,000 spiritual stones.
Two hundred thousand spirit stones. If it were used to drive the spirit boat, it would be enough for him, Li Xiuping, to fly in the sky on the spirit boat for several years.
If you don't fight, you won't be able to get the 200,000 spirit stones. If you fight, although there will be a lot of losses, the 200,000 spirit stones will be enough to make up for it, not to mention that the Dongyang Sect only has 200,000 spirit stones.
Seeing Li Xiuping take out a spiritual boat, the entire Dongyang Sect, both the leader and the disciples, were a little confused as to what Li Xiuping was going to do?
At this time, they couldn't think of any other possibility besides running away.
But this doesn't make sense, because if Li Xiuping really wants to run away, he can just ride on the jet black dragon. Why waste spiritual stones to drive the spiritual boat?
As the spirit boat was sacrificed, pieces of spirit stone continued to emerge, and then exploded directly, turning into countless energy and integrating into the spirit boat.
After absorbing the energy, the spirit boat began to grow in size, and finally hit the Dongyang Sect's sect-protecting formation directly.
Everyone in the Dongyang Sect opened their mouths wide because this was the first time they had seen such a situation.
Apart from traveling, no one would use the spirit boat for anything else, let alone use it to directly hit the sect-protecting formation like Li Xiuping.
Let’s not talk about whether such a method is useful. Even if it is, it will require a huge amount of spiritual stones. But any normal person will not do such stupid things.
As the spirit boat hit the sect-protecting formation, the entire sect-protecting formation shook violently, but it was not directly knocked away by the spirit boat.
Li Xiuping made a cold sound and drove the spirit beast to retreat. At the same time, countless spirit stones continued to appear, then exploded and were absorbed by the spirit boat.
After the spirit boat absorbed enough spirit stones, the spirit boat once again collided with the Dongyang Sect's sect-protecting formation.
