Chapter 330: Yun Wanshang: So This Is What It Feels Like to Be Moved

Yun Wanshang’s Divine Sense reached Mingyue Pavilion.

Although every Cave Dwelling had formation barriers that ordinary people couldn’t enter,

as the Master of Caiyun Peak and a Golden Core cultivator, these simple barriers couldn’t block her Divine Sense.

Suddenly, a scene unfolded before her eyes, making her heart tremble.

A green robe and a moon-white skirt were scattered haphazardly on the ground, silently narrating what had transpired here.

On the bed, a robust, well-defined man was tightly intertwined with a perfect, jade-like body.

Above them, a sun and moon seemed to rotate, illuminating their bodies. Although the scene was somewhat indecent, it was still beautiful, like a stunning painting.

“It really is the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra.”

Seeing this scene, Yun Wanshang’s heart paused. She realized that her Spirit Body’s reaction was due to the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra.

“Why is this happening?”

She didn’t understand why her Spirit Body was reacting when Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue were practicing the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra.

“Could it be because of the Spirit-Connecting Essence?”

Yun Wanshang furrowed her brows, guessing in her heart.

Even though she was a Golden Core cultivator, she didn’t know why their practice of the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra would affect her.

Other than the Spirit-Connecting Essence, she couldn’t think of any other reason.

“Xiyue.”

At this moment, Caiyun Zhenren saw her disciple Xiao Xiyue’s current expression, and her beautiful face froze slightly.

Although Xiao Xiyue usually didn’t show much emotion when facing her master,

she had never seen her disciple like this.

Her delicate and exquisite face was flushed, as if shy and bashful.

Her usually cold eyes were filled with captivating springtime charm, like a plum blossom blooming in the early spring, beautiful and enchanting.

Her black, silky hair was scattered messily, with a few strands falling on her full, round chest.

Her fair, flawless body glistened with sweat under the light of the sun and moon, making it difficult to describe her beauty in words.

She must have just finished Dual Cultivation. Her long, slender legs were slightly tense and trembling, causing her delicate feet to constantly curl and stretch, making her look adorably cute.

“So this is what it feels like to be moved.”

In the Great Hall, Yun Wanshang, dressed in a luxurious colorful palace robe, exuded an elegant and dignified aura mixed with a hint of coldness.

Yet, she couldn’t help but think about when she and Lu Changsheng resolved the Red Luan Karmic Fire years ago—were they just as charming?

She had always been in control back then, so she definitely wouldn’t have been as demure as Xiyue.

Huh? What am I even thinking about?

Back then, I was tormented by the karmic fire. What does that have to do with this?

“Hmph!”

Yun Wanshang immediately withdrew her Divine Sense, discarding her thoughts and exhaling deeply.

But at that moment, she felt a slight heat rising in her body.

“Hmph, it’s been so long, and they still haven’t gone to the Luoyun Mountain Range!”

Yun Wanshang’s beautiful eyes turned icy, and her stunning face suddenly cooled as she spoke.

She then sent a voice transmission to the hall steward, instructing him to go to Mingyue Pavilion.

If Xiao Xiyue hadn’t yet gone to the Luoyun Mountain Range, she was to leave immediately and stop delaying.

Mingyue Pavilion.

Inside a simple and elegant room.

“It’s all your fault.”

Xiao Xiyue heard from the maid, Luliu, that the Peak Master’s steward had come to urge her to go to the Luoyun Mountain Range. She immediately blushed and looked at Lu Changsheng with a hint of blame.

She had intended to leave for the Luoyun Mountain Range after dual cultivating twice.

After all, the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, unlike the demonic Dual Cultivation techniques, emphasizes the natural way and moderation.

If one engages in continuous Dual Cultivation, it would not only be unproductive but could also hinder their cultivation.

But Lu Changsheng argued that since this was a technique given by her master, they should diligently practice and comprehend it.

Otherwise, once they left for the Luoyun Mountain Range, it would be difficult to meet again, given the vast distance.

Hearing this, Xiao Xiyue naturally complied with Lu Changsheng’s gentle persuasion.

After all, she knew the situation in the Luoyun Mountain Range’s secret realm.

Once she went there, she wouldn’t have time to visit Lu Changsheng and their daughter for a while.

“It’s my fault. Being with you, Xiyue, I lost track of time.”

Lu Changsheng immediately apologized, feeling a bit embarrassed.

After all, his intention to propose had already displeased Caiyun Zhenren.

Now, he had even spent the night on Caiyun Peak for so long, so she must have guessed what they were doing in Mingyue Pavilion.

The fact that she hadn’t caused any trouble for him so far was a sign of her good temper.

After tidying up their clothes and sharing a brief moment together, the two left Caiyun Peak and Azure Cloud Sect.

On a regular day, Xiao Xiyue would have gone to bid farewell to her master.

But thinking about her behavior, she felt she must have disappointed her master and didn’t dare to face her.

“Xiyue, don’t worry. I’ll bring Wangshu to the Luoyun Mountain Range to see you.”

Outside the Azure Cloud Sect’s mountain gate, Lu Changsheng gently bid farewell to Xiao Xiyue.

Although it would be difficult for her to return once she was in the Luoyun Mountain Range,

he could still visit her there.

Besides, their daughter was grown up now, and it would be good for her to go out and gain some experience.

“Alright.”

Xiao Xiyue nodded softly in agreement.

“Xiyue, if you encounter danger in the secret realm, prioritize your safety. Don’t worry about wasting the talismans I gave you.”

“If you run into any trouble, you can always write to me.”

Lu Changsheng continued to remind her.

He wasn’t worried about anything else, just that Xiao Xiyue might encounter danger in the secret realm.

“I know. Don’t worry, Changsheng.”

Xiao Xiyue responded softly.

After a brief conversation, the two of them flew off in different directions on their flying Artifacts.

“This Lu Mountain Lord and Auntie Xiao seem like an extraordinary pair.”

“Indeed. I think it’s been about a month since Lu Changsheng came to our Azure Cloud Sect, right? Has he been staying at Caiyun Peak all this time?”

“Wow, shocking! Lu Changsheng from Bihu Mountain actually spent the night at Caiyun Peak with Fairy Xiyue!”

“Junior Sister Xiyue is pure and unsullied. How could she be involved with such a libertine?”

“I heard that Lu Changsheng is a Top-Tier Second-Tier Talisman Master and a pill refiner with a past connection to Senior Sister Xiao. He was probably invited here to make talismans and refine pills.”

“That’s right. I also heard that Senior Sister Xiyue is exploring the secret realm in the Luoyun Mountain Range and needs a lot of pills and talismans.”

Within the Azure Cloud Sect, Lu Changsheng’s extended stay at Caiyun Peak sparked some small gossip.

Neither Lu Changsheng nor Xiao Xiyue paid any attention to these rumors.

After all, their situation was far more complex than these people could imagine.

After returning to Bihu Mountain, Lu Changsheng resumed his leisurely daily life.

He continued his routine of meditation, talisman-making, spending time with his wives under the moonlight, and teaching his children.

Reflecting on the profound effects of the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra, he realized it could help him break through his bottleneck.

Since Caiyun Zhenren hadn’t forbidden the technique from being taught to others, after some thought, he decided to teach it to Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and BBi Ling.

After all, practicing this technique over the long term would benefit Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and BBi Ling greatly.

Besides, with Xiao Xiyue’s relationship with Caiyun Zhenren, they were practically family now.

He figured he could repay this favor properly in the future.

Like Xiao Xiyue, Ling Zixiao, and Lu Miaoge found it challenginn to practice this technique and needed Lu Changsheng’s guidance.

But Bai Ling seemed to have a natural talent for it, making the process of cultivating with Lu Changsheng quite harmonious.

This made Lu Changsheng wonder if he had taught Bai Ling the wrong technique with the Black Dragon Scripture.

At that moment, Lu Changsheng thought about his talent in Dual Cultivation techniques and decided to try and comprehend a technique from Hong Lian.

After much contemplation, Lu Changsheng concluded that he indeed had a talent for Dual Cultivation techniques.

“Could it be that I have a natural talent for Dual Cultivation techniques? Or is it related to the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body?”

He furrowed his brows, pondering.

He suspected that he might indeed have some talent in Dual Cultivation.

Or it could be connected to the Immaculate Heavenly Fragrance Body.

After all, he couldn’t think of any other reason.

“If this Spirit Body is really linked to Dual Cultivation, wouldn’t Nangong Mili lead my daughter down the wrong path?”

Lu Changsheng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat as he thought of this.

Although the righteous path had many Dual Cultivation techniques like the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra,

such techniques were not as widespread as those in the demonic path.

The demonic path’s Dual Cultivation was not about mutual benefit like the Sun and Moon Reincarnation Sutra.

It was purely about essence extraction!

Taking from others to benefit oneself.

Compared to the righteous path’s Dual Cultivation, the demonic path’s essence extraction techniques were much more brutal.

Although these techniques could lead to unstable cultivation, weak foundations, and the risk of deviation,

and they made it harder to overcome the tribulation during the Nascent Soul breakthrough,

for cultivators with poor talent who only sought Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment, or those with compatible Dual Cultivation physiques, they were still a good choice.

“Nangong Mili may be a demonic cultivator, but she shouldn’t be that foolish.”

“Besides, Yaoyao has a Second-Tier Spirit Root and great talent. She has a chance at forming a Golden Core in the future, so there’s no need to walk such a crooked path.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

He believed that although Nangong Mili was a demonic cultivator, she wouldn’t go that far.

However, this still made him more worried about his daughter, who was far away in the Jin Kingdom.

This kind of physique, beneficial for Dual Cultivation, was not only suitable for self-cultivation but also made one a prime candidate for being a Dual Cultivation cauldron.

It was rumored that many demonic cultivators liked to raise cauldrons and human pills to break through bottlenecks.

“With Nangong Mili, a Golden Core cultivator, around, nothing should happen.”

“But Nangong Mili’s combat strength among Golden Core cultivators is supposedly quite average.”

“If possible, I should bring Yaoyao to Jiang Kingdom as soon as possible. It’s much safer here.”

Lu Changsheng muttered to himself, exhaling deeply.

He was not only worried about his daughter’s situation but also felt a bit guilty.

Although this daughter was an accident, he couldn’t deny that he had eagerly awaited her birth.

After all, the higher the parents’ cultivation, the better the child’s Spirit Root and talent.

He had indeed been eager for Nangong Mili to give birth to this child with a high Spirit Root.

But now, after all these years, he still hadn’t met his daughter.

If something happened to her in the Five Poison Sect, or if she faced any unexpected difficulties growing up, he wouldn’t know how to face it.

“I need to form a Golden Core as soon as possible. Once I do, I can go to the Five Poison Sect in the Jin Kingdom and see if I can bring Yaoyao home!”

Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, feeling a growing sense of urgency.

He immediately got up and went to Hall of Everlasting Life, where he held Bai Ling, who was wearing a white Liuxian dress, in his arms and began cultivating diligently!

Night fell.

A young man with a rugged face, broad chest, and tall stature, looking like a wandering hero, rode a tall horse through the wilderness.

He saw an old, dilapidated temple ahead and quickly rode to it.

Inside the temple, weeds grew, and cobwebs were everywhere, giving it a creepy atmosphere.

But the young man skillfully lit a campfire and took out a large piece of demon beast meat from his Storage Bag to roast.

“One more day of travel, and I should reach Yuzhen.”

Lu Ping’an took out a wanted poster and studied it for a moment.

He had spent the past few years traveling, not venturing into the mountains to fight or explore ruins.

He simply wandered, stopping whenever the road seemed uneven, or he heard of demons or criminals causing trouble, and went to check it out.

Along the way, he took on some bounties, slaying criminals and corrupt cultivators.

After more than two years, he had traveled thousands of miles and arrived at Qingyun Market Town.

According to his plan, his next stop was Nine Heavens Immortal City.

However, the Iron Feather Eagle his family gave him was killed by a rogue cultivator during the journey, forcing him to abandon his plan to go to Nine Heavens Immortal City.

He decided to wait until he reached the late stage of Qi Refining before considering a trip to Nine Heavens Immortal City.

After all, this journey had shown him the many dangers of the cultivation world.

It was nothing like the simple adventures he had with Qin Yi in the mortal cultivation world.

“Xiao’an, time to eat.”

At this moment, Lu Ping’an took out a wooden carving and called out.

Immediately, a gust of cold wind blew, and a ghostly figure of a five or six-year-old child with a pale, delicate face appeared from the black wooden carving.

This was a ghost slave.

It was a reward Lu Ping’an acquired after killing a corrupt cultivator during a bounty mission.

Or rather, he found it after slaying the corrupt cultivator.

After killing the corrupt cultivator, he saw this little ghost standing there, dazed.

He thought that those who had been turned into ghost slaves must have had a tragic life.

Especially since this child was so young when turned into a ghost slave, he couldn’t bring himself to kill it and decided to set it free.

But the little ghost refused to leave, clinging to him as if attached.

Faced with this, Lu Ping’an had no choice.

Knowing that it wouldn’t survive on its own, he decided to keep it with him.

Since the little ghost couldn’t speak, he named it Xiao’an, using the “An” character from his own name, Ping’an.

Xiao’an looked at Lu Ping’an with a shy and obedient expression.

“Go ahead and eat. I’m going to eat too.”

Lu Ping’an pretended to pat its head, then began devouring the demon beast meat in his hands.

Xiao’an stepped forward, hugged Lu Ping’an’s neck, and gently absorbed his yang energy.

There were many methods in the cultivation world for feeding ghosts.

But Lu Ping’an didn’t know them, nor would he study such wicked techniques.

So, knowing that the little ghost relied on absorbing yang energy to survive, he used his own blood and spiritual energy to nourish Xiao’an.

He had reached the pinnacle of martial arts and practiced the Hundred Refined Body Technique, so his blood was abundant. A few bites from Xiao’an didn’t affect him, and a night’s sleep would restore his energy.

After more than a year of feeding, Xiao’an had become more spirited, understanding everything Lu Ping’an said.

It even helped him keep watch during overnight stays, or sometimes searched the surroundings for spiritual herbs, medicines, or treasures.

After absorbing a few bites of blood to maintain its form, Xiao’an quietly perched on Lu Ping’an’s shoulder, watching him devour his food without any hint of a ghost’s malevolent aura.

“Xiao’an.”

Just then, Lu Ping’an seemed to hear something and spoke to Xiao’an.

After spending so much time together, they didn’t need many words for Xiao’an to understand.

It immediately turned into a gust of cold wind and returned to the wooden carving in Lu Ping’an’s hand.

This wooden carving was something Lu Ping’an had purchased at great expense, spending thirty-three Spirit Stones at a rogue cultivator gathering.

It was carved from the heartwood of a century-old locust tree, providing a place for a ghost to reside.

Although the expense pained him for a long time, Xiao’an seemed to like the carving very much.

Not long after.

“Creak!”

The temple door was pushed open.

A woman dressed in a green palace dress, with a voluptuous and graceful figure, entered the temple holding a baby.

“Young Master.”

The woman saw Lu Ping’an by the campfire and quickly bowed in greeting, saying, “My name is Qishi. I was on my way home to visit my family when I was attacked by bandits. Thanks to my family’s guards, I managed to escape here. I wonder if the Young Master could lend a hand and help us, mother and child.”

“If the Young Master could help us, I would be forever grateful.”

Her face was charming, her expression anxious, and her eyes were full of pity, with a hint of tenderness. Her exposed shoulders and neckline revealed white, delicate skin, making her look quite alluring.

Hearing this, Lu Ping’an looked at the woman deeply, then glanced at the baby in her arms, and said, “You may rest here for now. If any bandits come, I’ll do my best to protect you.”

“Thank you, Young Master!”

The woman immediately thanked him gratefully and stepped inside, sitting naturally by the campfire.

A strong fragrance immediately wafted over, causing Lu Ping’an to shift slightly and focus on the roasting meat in his hand.

Because of his tall stature, he could easily see the white skin exposed at the woman’s neckline from this angle.

“I wonder how skilled the Young Master is. Those bandits are highly skilled and very ruthless.”

The woman continued to speak.

“I’m quite capable.”

Lu Ping’an replied softly, handing her a piece of dry food.

“Thank you, Young Master.”

The woman thanked him and took the dry food but didn’t eat it.

Instead, she kept trying to make conversation with Lu Ping’an, as if she were very nervous and needed to talk to calm herself.

“Bang!!!”

At that moment, the temple door was suddenly kicked open.

In the darkness outside, over ten tall, agile figures dressed in black night clothes and wielding steel knives appeared.

They all had their faces covered, only their eyes exposed.

“So they are here. Attack!”

The black-clad men, seeing the woman and Lu Ping’an in the temple, immediately gave the order coldly.

“You still have time to leave.”

Lu Ping’an stood up, looking at the black-clad men. His tall, imposing figure seemed to exude an invisible pressure.

“Kill!”

The black-clad men hesitated for a moment but then mustered their courage and charged at the woman and Lu Ping’an.

“Ha!”

Lu Ping’an let out a loud shout, full of energy, and shot forward at an incredible speed, his fist swinging out as if striking all the black-clad men at once.

In an instant, all the black-clad men felt as if a dragon-elephant was charging at them, creating a sense of helplessness and overwhelming force.

“Bang! Bang! Bang—”

“Bang! Bang! Bang!!!”

In just a moment, in the time it took to take a breath, everyone in the temple was struck by Lu Ping’an’s fist, either being sent flying or forced back, their blood churning, and their faces pale.

“You still have time to leave.”

Lu Ping’an looked at the black-clad men, not finishing them off, and repeated his warning.

He could tell that these men’s intent to kill the woman was even weaker than their intent towards him.

They must have been ordered to kill him but didn’t know who he was.

“Clap, clap, clap—”

A round of applause echoed.

Six more figures emerged from the darkness.

They were a mix of men and women, old and young.

One of the elders looked at Lu Ping’an and praised him, saying, “As expected of the famous bounty hunter—‘Martial God’ Lu Ping. Your strength is indeed impressive.”

“‘Martial God’ Lu Ping?”

Lu Ping’an raised an eyebrow at the title, a hint of amusement on his face.

He hadn’t expected that using an alias for bounty hunting would earn him such a nickname.

But it wasn’t a bad name.

He could tell that these six people were cultivators and calmly said, “I don’t believe we have any grudges between us.”

“Indeed, we have no grudges. But we are cultivators with no hope of advancing, so we came to the mortal world seeking wealth and comfort.”

“You, however, have been hunting us down, breaking the rules. If we don’t get rid of you, how can we live in peace?”

One of the black-robed men said coldly.

While there were many corrupt cultivators and evil cultivators in the mortal world,

as long as they didn’t go too far, the imperial court turned a blind eye.

After all, eliminating all of them would be too much trouble, and there weren’t enough people to handle it.

But lately, Lu Ping’an had been taking on bounties, killing many corrupt cultivators in the mortal world.

This made them uneasy, finally deciding to take the initiative to kill Lu Ping’an.

“Cultivators shouldn’t interfere in mortal affairs. If you’re just here to enjoy wealth and comfort, I wouldn’t trouble you.”

“But you’ve committed heinous acts and been placed on wanted lists. Even if it weren’t me, someone else would come for you.”

Lu Ping’an stood tall in his green robe, speaking in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he looked at them with a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

He could tell that the black-clad men were all mortals, martial artists, so he hadn’t killed them.

But he wouldn’t show mercy to these corrupt cultivators.

“Lu Ping, you’ve obtained an immortal fate and stepped onto the path of cultivation. Why meddle in these affairs? The cultivation world isn’t a place for heroes!”

A young girl in red spoke up.

Although she looked like a young girl, her voice was hoarse, and her hands were as aged as tree bark.

It was clear she had used some technique to maintain her youth.

“There’s no need to talk to him!”

An old woman interrupted, then looked at Lu Ping’an with greedy eyes and said, “Today, you’ve forced so many of us to act. Even if you die, you can be proud!”

As she spoke, she struck the ground with her cane, causing the earth to crack and sharp spikes to shoot towards Lu Ping’an.

However, Lu Ping’an moved in that instant, his body glowing with precious light. He leaped out like a tiger or leopard, tearing through the air, his steps leaving a crater in the ground.

“Binding Technique!”

“Golden Light Technique!”

“Fireball Technique!”

“Earth Spike Technique!”

These cultivators, although at the Sixth or Seventh Layer of Qi Refining, only knew basic techniques.

As Lu Ping’an charged at them, they all cast spells and summoned their Artifacts.

“Bang!”

Lu Ping’an’s fist was blocked by a golden light.

But his fist seemed to burst with purple-gold blood, shattering the golden light.

“Pfft!”

The elder who cast the Golden Light Technique staggered, spitting out blood, his face pale and weak.

“Such powerful strength!”

Seeing this, the others looked grim.

They realized that Lu Ping’an was even stronger than they had imagined.

They couldn’t understand why someone so young and powerful would waste time in the mortal world.

They had no future.

But Lu Ping’an, with his talent and strength, clearly had great potential.

“Rip!”

Just then, a black-robed man summoned a small knife, aiming at Lu Ping’an’s back.

Lu Ping’an’s robe was instantly torn, revealing an inner armor Artifact.

However, an invisible energy shield surrounded him, forming a barrier of qi.

Besides his Dual Cultivation of body and magic, Lu Ping’an had reached the pinnacle of martial arts.

His innate true qi was like a protective force, enough to kill a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

Lu Ping’an fought like a war god, his body glowing with precious light. Even though he was fighting six at once, he was not at a disadvantage.

“Everyone, attack!”

The six didn’t dare engage in close combat with Lu Ping’an. They kept their distance, ordering the black-clad men to attack, using every technique they had.

Rich rewards inspire bravery!

These black-clad men had come for the immortal fate. Hearing the order, they didn’t hesitate.

But against Lu Ping’an, they were just cannon fodder, being sent flying with a single punch, spitting blood.

This was Lu Ping’an holding back. If he hadn’t, a single punch would have shattered their bodies.

But seeing their relentless attacks, Lu Ping’an no longer held back. He unleashed punch after punch, turning them into blood mist.

“Young Master, help!”

At that moment, the woman holding the baby cried out in terror to Lu Ping’an.

Faced with this, Lu Ping’an ignored her.

Although his father, mother, and Qin Yi had called him naive, he wasn’t actually stupid.

How could he not see that there was something wrong with this woman?

But seeing her pitiful state, holding a baby, he hadn’t made a fuss.

Now that these six had come to kill him, he knew she was with them.

“Wah!!!”

At that moment, the baby in the woman’s arms began to cry loudly.

“Hmm?”

Lu Ping’an was momentarily distracted by the crying and looked at the woman.

He saw her suddenly strike the baby with her palm.

Seeing this, he immediately extended his hand, using his spiritual energy to form an invisible hand to seize the baby from her.

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—”

The other six took the opportunity to unleash their spells on Lu Ping’an and the baby.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

Lu Ping’an formed a spiritual energy shield around himself and the baby, quickly summoning a Golden Bell Shield talisman.

But the barrage of spells dimmed the golden bell around him.

“What? He has a High-Tier talisman!”

“Finish him off quickly! Don’t give him a chance to breathe!”

“At this point, don’t hold back! If he has more tricks up his sleeve, we’ll all die here!”

The six corrupt cultivators shouted in unison, their faces changing.

They didn’t dare hold back, fearing that Lu Ping’an had more surprises in store.

“Ahhh!!!”

At that moment, Xiao’an emerged from the wooden carving in Lu Ping’an’s arms, screaming to help him fight.

“Get back!”

Lu Ping’an immediately ordered.

Xiao’an was just an ordinary little ghost.

If it were hit by a spell, its soul would become unstable and might dissipate.

“Ahhh!!!”

Xiao’an continued to scream, attacking the baby in Lu Ping’an’s arms.

“Ah!!!”

The baby immediately let out a sharp cry, causing Lu Ping’an to feel unsteady.

The baby’s soft, white skin suddenly turned a hideous black, and it lunged at Lu Ping’an.

Xiao’an quickly wrapped itself around the ghost baby, preventing it from attacking Lu Ping’an.

“Boom, boom, boom!!!”

At the same time, spells bombarded Lu Ping’an, shattering his Golden Light Shield Talisman and sending him flying, groaning in pain.

“Excellent! Madam Qishi’s plan was indeed brilliant!”

The six corrupt cultivators were overjoyed at the sight and continued to attack Lu Ping’an.

They had done their research before attacking Lu Ping’an.

They knew the weaknesses of a young man with a strong sense of justice and a desire to be a hero.

“Damn it!”

Lu Ping’an hadn’t expected the baby to be a ghost baby, catching him off guard.

At that moment, he saw the once gentle, pitiful woman now exuding a sinister aura, her hands forming spell seals.

Clearly, she wasn’t a mortal but a cultivator.

She had used some method to hide her cultivation.

Lu Ping’an didn’t have time to think. He summoned a small shield Artifact in front of him.

Then, his blood surged, and he grabbed the ghost baby, crushing it, causing its soul to dissipate. He shouted to Xiao’an, “Xiao’an, get back!”

Xiao’an dared not disobey and immediately returned to the wooden carving.

“Bang, bang, bang—”

But in an instant, more spells were cast towards him.

“Escape!”

Lu Ping’an used the small shield to block the attacks, but being only at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining, he couldn’t withstand this onslaught without his blood churning.

He didn’t stay any longer. Like a human cannonball, he blasted out of the temple, fleeing into the night.

It’s said that two fists can’t block four hands. He could easily kill them one-on-one.

But with all seven attacking at once, he struggled to cope.

Moreover, he had already used most of the thirteen talismans his father had given him in a previous escape, leaving him with only a few.

“Chase him! He’s already been poisoned and won’t get far!”

Madam Qishi, who had been holding the baby, said coldly as she chased after Lu Ping’an.

She seemed like a different person now, her demeanor filled with malice and coldness.

“We can’t let him escape. Not only is his martial arts and body refinement incredible, but he also has High-Tier talismans and at least three Artifacts!”

The other six cultivators quickly cast spells and chased after Lu Ping’an.

After all, Lu Ping’an’s skills were an opportunity for them.

“Not good, I’m poisoned!”

After running for a while, Lu Ping’an realized something was wrong. He had been poisoned.

He had some knowledge of poisons, and his cultivation technique had some resistance to them.

But his enemies had come prepared, making it difficult for him to defend against.

“Sigh, as my parents said, my nature will get me into trouble someday, but I just can’t change.”

Lu Ping’an smiled bitterly.

He didn’t hesitate, taking out his last escape talisman, the Hundred Mile Escape Talisman, to flee.

“Buzz—”

The talisman in his hand burned and activated, wrapping Lu Ping’an in its energy, transforming him into a streak of divine light and shooting him away.
