led from the corners of their mouths, and it seemed they were about to die. Lu Xiaoteng sighed, "Well, this is a rare sight – having these two with me even as I die."Lu Xiaoteng gave a wry smile. Thin...越多越好。）

As for the current situation, Lu Xiaoteng didn't have any good solutions. Liu Jingchuan had the silver-leaf bodhi tree in his hands, while Luo Ping'er knew the whereabouts of the Brahma Hellfire.

"Let's make some noise to draw Liu Jingchuan out, then we can talk." Lu Xiaoteng made up his mind. Since the previous plan didn't work, he had to find another way.

Luo Ping'er frowned, at this moment, she was also helpless. The development of things at present had exceeded her expectations.

“Presumptuous! How dare you be disrespectful to the master of the temple It seems that while I was in seclusion, you all have become more and more bold. Once I have received the master, I will come and deal with each and every one of you who are so rude!” At this moment, a powerful and majestic voice rang out from within Lingjiao Temple, but no figure could be seen.

Lu Xiaoteng smiled slightly upon hearing this. Liu Jingchuan, the man in the pavilion, was also a sly fellow. Although he had given Luo Ping'er some face on the surface, he didn't mention the eight-character beard cultivator or the armored middle-aged man's disrespectful behavior towards Luo Ping'er earlier.

Luo Ping'er’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the man with the eight-character beard who seemed indifferent. She let out a cold snort and, accompanied by Lu Xiaotien and several others, entered the shop.

“The Grand Elder is becoming increasingly influential, to the point that even a humble woman like myself wanting to meet him faces obstruction. It seems I'll have to submit a request in writing from now on.” Luo Ping’er said with lingering anger and a touch of sarcasm in her voice.

Several people entered Lingwu Pavilion. After dozens of miles, a dignified middle-aged man appeared—Liu Jingchuan. At this time, he strode forward, seemingly slow but actually fast. With a light and fluttering step, he covered nearly half a mile in one stride. The foundation-building cultivators present were astonished.

"Master, our business today is private. There's no need for these servants to follow."

"If the Great Elder doesn't like these people, he can just treat them as non-existent. When I first came in, if it weren't for a few people under my command, I probably wouldn't even have been able to get through this door," Luo Ping'er said.

"Master Fang, Liu certainly doesn't need to be reminded of his intentions towards you. For us to work together is mutually beneficial, while separation would lead to nothing but harm and no gain whatsoever." Liu Jingchuan sighed as if offering advice.

"You can see the current situation yourself. Lingwu Pavilion is no longer what it used to be. But I'm not particularly concerned about these powers. As long as the Pavilion Master agrees to be my Daoist partner, all of this will naturally return to the Pavilion Master's hands. Of course, if the Pavilion Master disagrees, I've been waiting for almost ten years and I don't have the patience to wait any longer."

"How do you fare" Luo Ping'er's heart skipped a beat, her face showing a hint of panic. While Liu Jingchuan had been secretly using underhanded tactics before, he had still been polite to her. Today marked the first time he openly turned against her. As for Liu Jingchuan's claim of returning Lingwujing to her, it was merely a joke. She had controlled Lingwujing for many years and knew that Liu Jingchuan had used the sect's information channels to engage in illicit dealings and gather resources for his own cultivation. The reason he allowed her to remain in power for so long was simply to gradually gain control of Lingwujing, avoiding a situation where both parties would be destroyed. He wasn't truly patient with her; now, over the years, Liu Jingchuan had slowly taken control of all the channels within Lingwujing. At this point, he could no longer contain himself.

"Today, Master Fang, you have to agree. If you disagree, there's no other way but force." Liu Jingchuan let out a sinister laugh, his eyes gleaming with lust. The imposing figure he had cultivated before vanished completely.

“Bring the people around the head of the district to me.”

With a low bellow from Liu Jingchuan, the previous eight-character mustache cultivator now led two teams of Qi Refining cultivators and surrounded Luo Ping'er and her party.

"Monk, forgive my offense!" the cultivator with a bushy mustache bowed, his face filled with playful mockery.

"It seems you called me here for this moment." When the time came, Luo Ping'er surprisingly calmed down.

"Very good, Master Liu is indeed sharp and quick-witted. When you took me in, you should have anticipated this day. How could a mere Qi Refinement cultivator like you possibly command a Golden Core cultivator such as myself" Liu Jingchuan said with a smug expression.

Several dark shadows flashed, and the Pa Gua Lock Demon Array's formation plate directly landed on all sides, not only shrouding Liu Jingchuan but also covering Luo Ping'er, the Eight-Character Mustache cultivator, and the rest of the group.

"Liu Jingchuan, I have tolerated you for almost eight years. You think I would be completely unprepared Lu senior, this time, it all depends on you." Luo Ping'er first let out a cold snort, then solemnly bowed to Lu Xiaottian.

Lu Xiaoxian was also speechless at this time. Before coming, he had discussed several strategies with Luo Ping'er, intending to observe for a while first, probe Liu Jingchuan's strengths and weaknesses before taking action. However, the development of some things often does not go as people wish. Liu Jingchuan's impatience rendered all previous preparations useless.

Anyway, Lu Xia Tian sometimes felt he might have been overcautious. But it's better to be safe than sorry. If he had the chance to relive everything, he would probably do the same. After all, there's only one life, and no matter what happens, preparation is crucial. Whether or not it actually comes in handy is a different story.

Now that things have come to a point where he had no choice but to take action, Lu Xia Tian didn't hesitate at all.

The aura of the gossip lock demon formation enveloped everything around.

"Formation!" Both Luo Ping'er and Liu Jingchuan were taken aback, a look of surprise flashing across their faces. Luo Ping'er's face revealed a hint of understanding. The reason she had gone to great lengths to befriend Lu Xiaoteng was because she had seen that he was not only a Jindan cultivator but also an exceptionally talented array master even during his Zhuji period. Although Liu Jingchuan's dan formation time was longer than Lu Xiaoteng's, being trapped within the formation, it was still uncertain who would win in the end.

And the cultivators with handlebar mustaches, as well as other Foundation Establishment cultivators, all changed color in astonishment. They never expected that Luo Ping'er would have come quietly without making a sound, and brought another formidable figure, moreover a master of formations. No wonder she was so arrogant today. It seems they had underestimated her.

“Friend, what benefits did Luo Ping’er give you That you would be willing to fight me. The benefits Luo Ping’er promised you are still yours. Here, Liu will offer you another two million lower grade spirit stones. The power of Lingxiao Pavilion will be divided between us equally. With the two of us, Golden Core cultivators, joining forces, we can surely accomplish great things. What do you say” Liu Jingchuan felt the powerful aura of the Bagua Lock Demon Formation and couldn’t gauge Lu Xiaofeng’s strength, so he offered Lu Xiaofeng benefits directly. “Even Luo Ping’er can be yours, including her person. You shouldn't worry about losing out on anything. It wouldn’t be worth it for you to fight me to the death.”

"You!" Luo Ping'er was instantly filled with anger upon hearing this. As for Luo Ping'er's trusted confidant, who had been following her all along, a glimmer of hope emerged in his desperate heart when he saw that their side also had a Golden Core cultivator. He was overjoyed. However, when Liu Jingchuan offered such a price, his face inevitably changed. After all, most people would choose to make peace with Liu Jingchuan. Although Liu Jingchuan was somewhat despicable, what he said was reasonable. They already controlled Luo Ping'er, so why worry about not getting what they wanted from hermany other worries for the time being. 。Although the two-tailed demon wolf threatened to go find Yu Xia Qiao, Lu Xiao Tian wasn't flustered. He carefully made his way forward, memorizing every place h...
