Chapter 299 Malice

The second day.

There are halls in the backyard of the pavilion.

Shen Ping met the senior who invited him, but he did not expect that this senior was a female cultivator who had the secret to maintain her youth. She looked like she was in her twenties, with skin as white as jade, eyebrows as black as a painting, red lips and white teeth. She was dressed in a silky green gauze dress, which highlighted her graceful figure, round buttocks, black hair falling like a waterfall, and a slender waist. Although her aura was strong, people subconsciously ignored the pressure of her magical aura and wanted to explore the scenery inside the gauze dress.

"The Master of Zhenbao Pavilion greets Senior Yue!"

An Zhiyuan had previously revealed some information about this senior. His surname is Yue, his Taoist name is Fairy Luoxia, and he is the master of Luoxia Peak in Jianyin City. His cultivation has reached the perfection of Lianxu, and it is said that he is only one step away from becoming a powerful fusion master.

In the entire Tai'an Abyss, cultivators who have achieved the combined state are considered powerful cultivators who can rule a region. After all, cultivators in the Mahayana Tribulation Crossing period are as elusive as dragons. Strong cultivators of this level either practice hard in seclusion or escape to the starry sky to seek opportunities for breakthroughs.

And she was able to cultivate as a woman in a chaotic place and reach perfection in the realm of refining emptiness, which showed that she had extraordinary talent and extraordinary means.

Although Shen Ping possesses many great opportunities and has the power of strange beasts to seize the energy of heaven and earth, he will not underestimate others. Even if he kills a big demon at the level of refining emptiness, he will not be conceited about it.

Fairy Luo Xia smiled sweetly, and her fragrance filled the air. She showed no signs of being a strong person in her every move. She cast a glance at Shen Ping, measuring him. She opened her red lips and said, "I've heard that the Pavilion Master killed the Lianxu Great Demon at the Nascent Soul stage. Today, I see that he is indeed extraordinary. Even I can't see through him at all!"

As a cultivator who had reached the perfect stage of the Void Refinement Realm, her spiritual sense was extremely powerful. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would be uneasy if she casually swept over him, let alone blocked him. But when she was talking just now, her spiritual sense made a brief investigation and she felt an energy isolation on the surface of Shen Ping, which surprised her.

Shen Ping smiled and said, "Senior Yue, you are too kind. I just have a self-defense treasure, which was given to me by my master."

Upon hearing this, Fairy Luo Xia couldn't help but ask, "May I know your master's name?"

Shen Ping replied: "My master has been in seclusion for many years and has not been seen in public for a long time."

See here.

Fairy Luo Xia did not continue to ask, but changed the subject and talked about some other things, such as the source of the precious materials of Zhenbao Pavilion and whether there were any higher-level seventh-order spiritual treasures.

Shen Ping responded one by one.

We chatted for about two cups of tea.

Fairy Luo Xia just mentioned the demon harassment. She said with a slightly serious expression: "Master Shen, to be honest, the demon harassment is a problem that the human race in Jianyin City has always faced. However, the demons act erratically and it is difficult to find their source. Even if we kill a few of them, we cannot cause any harm to the demons. Moreover, the human race is in a more difficult situation now. If we encounter a demon of the same level, even if I am not careful, I will be in danger of falling."

Listen to it.

Shen Ping bowed and said, "Senior Yue, I also know the dangers of the demonic cultivators, but this problem has not been solved for hundreds or thousands of years, and there is no other good solution. I am afraid that I can't do anything if you invite me here this time. After all, my cultivation is limited..."

Fairy Luo Xia shook her head and interrupted, "Pavilion Master Shen was able to kill the Stone Tiger Monster. Although he is at the Nascent Soul stage, his combat power is extraordinary. Eliminating monsters is the great cause of our human race. If Pavilion Master Shen can contribute, not only the people of Jianyin City, but also the human cultivators of the entire Dark Abyss will be grateful!"

Shen Ping curled his lips and said, "Senior Yue, you think too highly of me!"

After several arguments.

Fairy Luo Xia saw that Shen Ping was not going to budge, so she simply stopped beating around the bush and told him the real purpose of this invitation. "The magic weapon that Pavilion Master Shen used to kill Shi Hu that day was quite powerful, and there was also a companion puppet... If I could borrow it from the combined senior of my Jianyin City, I think it would be easy to exterminate the nearby demons!"

Shen Ping almost spit out his tea when he heard this. What a joke! A cultivator who had reached Perfection in the Void Refining Stage actually asked him to borrow a magic weapon. This was like throwing a meat bun at a dog, which would never come back. Moreover, his silk blade was a beast spirit treasure, which could not be activated by ordinary cultivators at all.

Fairy Luo Xia really dares to speak.

However, since he was a senior at Lianxu level, he couldn't refuse directly. Instead, he said, "Senior Yue, the puppet and magic weapon were given to me by my master. I dare not lend them to others easily. If my master knew about it, I would not be able to explain myself."

Fairy Luo Xia smiled and said, "That's easy. Tell me where your master lives and I'll visit him in person. I think I, Luo Xiafeng, still have some face."

"I'm afraid this is difficult. My master has been in seclusion for a long time. He never likes to interact with people, and he hates being disturbed by others..."

Shen Ping was in a dilemma.

No matter what Fairy Luo Xia said or asked, Shen Ping just pushed the blame onto his master. After a while, Fairy Luo Xia could only take her leave and asked Shen Ping to think about it carefully. Before leaving, she did not forget to repeat that eliminating demons is the great cause of the human race.

Send him away personally.

Back to the backyard.

Shen Ping's face darkened.

An Zhiyuan said apologetically, "Pavilion Master, I didn't know this was the case. I didn't expect that Fairy Luo Xia would be so shameless and borrow money but actually rob. Please punish her, Pavilion Master!"

Shen Ping waved his hands, "It's not your fault!"

Fairy Luo Xia is a senior, how can An Zhiyuan, a mere god of transformation, refuse her?

An Zhiyuan heaved a sigh of relief, and then said: "Pavilion Master, it seems that Fairy Luo Xia has come with bad intentions. We should set off immediately and return to Greystone City for safety!"

"It's too late to leave now."

Shen Ping shook his head. Since the other party had spoken, how could he let it go? This time, the other party personally came to his house as a junior, which might just be a test, and there must be other means behind it.

An Zhiyuan frowned deeply. As the ancestor of the An family, he was naturally aware of the trouble of this matter. If Fairy Luo Xia was really just trying to borrow it, then it would be fine, but he was afraid that the other party would act secretly.

"The human race is in decline, and we should all work together. Fairy Luo Xia is really unworthy of being a human!"

Thinking of the worst consequences, An Zhiyuan couldn't help but curse.

Shen Ping sighed. He was still careless, or underestimated human nature. Even if the human race was in decline, what did this have to do with high-level cultivators, and what did it have to do with the pursuit of immortality? Cultivators were always deceitful. The higher the level of cultivation, the more they cared about their own interests. After all, strong people like Master Lian Xuejin and Uncle Master who were willing to take risks were a minority.

Send An Zhiyuan away.

He communicated with his master through the brilliant crystals.

I briefly talked about this matter.

Lian Xuejin said, "My disciple, you don't have to blame yourself. The safety of Zhenbao Pavilion's business route is related to future intelligence information. It is reasonable for you to go there in person. However, since Fairy Luo Xia has spoken, she must be thinking of taking action. You must be mentally prepared. Your current cultivation level is still too low. You can barely deal with Fairy Luo Xia with many means, but if there is a combined cultivator behind her, it will be difficult to deal with."

Shen Ping nodded, "Master, what do you think we should do?"

Lian Xuejin pondered for a moment and said, "Fairy Luo Xia's goal is the magic weapon in your hand. Moreover, she didn't take action directly. She must be a little afraid. After all, the precious materials in Zhenbao Pavilion are not available to ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators. In addition, you mentioned your master. Even if your master cannot show up, it can still have a certain deterrent effect."

"But this kind of deterrence is just a castle in the air, so if necessary, I can take out one or two precious materials or fairy stones and wait for your cultivation to break through, and then use other methods!"

Shen Ping's eyes lit up slightly. He understood what his master meant. With the Gate of Strange Beasts, he only had to wait for the next five years to arrive and then he could enter the Palace of Ascension. At the very least, he could use the Gate of Strange Beasts to hide temporarily. As for taking fairy stones or precious materials, it was nothing more than to show his own background.

Think of this.

He entered the Gate of Strange Beasts and sent a message to Yin Ting.

…

Luo Xiafeng.

The misty palace on the top of the mountain.

A burly figure with demonic aura lingered over him, and he looked at Fairy Luo Xia with great pressure, "How is it going?"

"Black Tiger King, that little fellow surnamed Shen has been making excuses and is unwilling to hand over his puppet and magic weapon. However, this fairy has managed to find out some clues and it turns out that there is indeed a master behind him."

Fairy Luo Xia said with a smile.

The Black Tiger King is the combined demon king of Jianyin City who stands behind the Stone Tiger clan. The main reason why he did not take action to kill Shen Ping is that he was afraid of him. Being able to kill the Stone Tiger at the Nascent Soul stage was unimaginable in the prosperous times of the human race in the past, let alone now. The bodies of the big demons at the Lianxu level are as hard as magic weapons, and even the ancient spiritual treasures find it difficult to break them for a while, not to mention that the Stone Tiger has other protective treasures.

Want to kill.

Even the Fairy Luo Xia in front of him had to work hard.

Therefore, it guessed that there must be a strong person behind the other party, and did not dare to act rashly.

"Have you found out who that powerful man is?"

"No, that little guy is alert!"

"Keep exploring!"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"No matter what means you use, you must find out his background for me!"

The Black Tiger King stood up and walked towards Fairy Luo Xia step by step. The huge sense of oppression made Fairy Luo Xia's face pale. "You humans have always had many methods. I believe Fairy Luo Xia can do what I ask!"

Fairy Luo Xia said hurriedly: "Yes, please give me some time, Black Tiger King."

"Can."

As the pressure around him disappeared.

She stumbled and nearly fell to the ground. Several figures suddenly appeared and hurried forward to support Fairy Luo Xia, "Master."

Fairy Luo Xia's magic power vibrated all over her body. After shaking off her disciples, she said in a cold voice: "I am not yet at the point where I need you to support me."

"Master, the leader of the Zhenbao Pavilion and the caravan under his command are not very strong. With the background of our Luoxia Peak, we can force them to hand over the treasures and puppets. This way, we can also give an explanation to the Black Tiger King!"

"Yes, if he refuses to hand it over, just kill the people around him."

"Master, let us disciples do this. We can get the treasure and puppet today!"

Listen to the voices of the disciples.

Fairy Luo Xia shouted angrily, "Foolish! If the Zhenbao Pavilion was so easy to bully, the Stone Tiger Demon in Gray Stone City would not have died. I don't care if you want to die, but if you ruin my plan, you will die more than ten times!"

All of his disciples were silent immediately.

"Notify those demon-transformers to keep a close eye on the Zhenbao Pavilion's caravan. If they dare to leave Greystone City, make them disappear forever."

"Yes, Master!"

…

Half a month later.

The backyard of Zhenbao Pavilion in Jianyin City.

An Zhiyuan reported solemnly, "Pavilion Master, there is news from Gray Stone City that the number of times our Zhenbao Pavilion's caravans have been harassed by demon monks has increased recently. Even the transport caravans from Black Evil Valley to other branch pavilions in the market have been attacked."

Shen Ping didn't show any surprise on his face. "It seems that the demon cultivators' harassment was probably caused by Luo Xiafeng. What about the other tribes and caravans of the Merchant Alliance?"

“We also encountered harassment, but not many times.”

An Zhiyuan whispered, "Recently, my subordinates have contacted other human forces in Jianyin City. Their attitude seems to be similar to Luo Xiafeng's. I'm afraid they want to use this incident to suppress our Zhenbao Pavilion."

The rise of Zhenbao Pavilion was too fast, and the resources within the pavilion were scarce, which was not only of great appeal to the human race, but also to other races. Although most of the resources were at level six and below, it still had an impact on many shops in Jianyin City, and had less impact on the auction house. However, the number of high-level cultivators was small after all, so other human forces and forces of various races that ran shops were naturally jealous.

This time, Luo Xiafeng stepped forward to take the blame, so they were happy to cooperate.

"Since there are demon attacks, we will suspend our business and notify the members of each branch to retreat and cultivate in seclusion."

Shen Ping calmly ordered: "Spread the word that this Pavilion Master will also be practicing in seclusion in the near future."

…

After hearing this, Fairy Luo Xia frowned and said, "Wait, I don't believe that Zhenbao Pavilion will stop doing business forever. Besides, as long as that little guy is still in Jianyin City, he can't escape from my grasp."

She also informed the Black Tiger King about this.

The Black Tiger King was patient. After all, it had a long lifespan, and a hundred years was just a nap for it. However, it still gave a deadline, "Thirty years. If you don't make any progress in thirty years, Luo Xiafeng will no longer exist!"

…

Time passes by little by little.

Shen Ping used seclusion as an excuse to have almost no contact with any forces in Jianyin City. It was not until three years later that he came out and invited Fairy Luo Xia to discuss how to deal with the demons.

Fairy Luo Xia, who had been waiting for three years, was almost out of patience. After hearing this, a look of joy appeared on her face and she went to visit again.

"Senior Yue."

"This is a seventh-level spiritual treasure... I am a junior with low cultivation level, so I can't help much. I can only do my best. This spiritual treasure was given by Master, and I send it to Senior Yue."

Shen Ping bowed.

Fairy Luo Xia frowned slightly. She opened the jade box and took a look. Her expression changed immediately. The spiritual treasure in the jade box turned out to be a rare spiritual object that could assist in breaking through the fusion. Such spiritual objects were very rare even at the auction in Jianyin City. Every time they appeared, they would cause many powerful people to fight for them. She didn't expect that the other party would give it away directly.

"I have sensed Pavilion Master Shen's intentions, so don't worry..."

Fairy Luo Xia smiled, but she felt pressured in her heart. To have such a spiritual object, the other party's master must be a powerful person above the middle stage of the fusion. If they really fought, no matter what the result was, she would not be able to get away with it.

Fortunately, I didn't act rashly at the time.

However, with this magical treasure, even if I fail to accomplish my mission later, I can at least give an explanation to the Black Tiger King.
