Chapter 66 Li Ping: Damn it, Zuo Lengchan came for me!
Blackwood Cliff.
Ren Yingying has been extremely busy lately, but fortunately, Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian have been helping her, so nothing major has gone wrong.
Ren Woxing frowned slightly upon seeing a piece of intelligence: "Shangguan Yun is dead? And he was severely tortured before his death?"
"Hmph, looks like someone's trying to cause trouble during our transition period."
In his opinion, this was either the work of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, or Shaolin and the Beggars' Sect. Wudang was busy preparing for the martial arts tournament and probably didn't have the energy for it.
Ren Yingying was taken aback: "Shangguan Yun? Wait a minute—"
She pulled out several sheets of paper, which listed the recent disappearances or deaths of members of the Sun Moon Cult.
Then, Ren Yingying's expression changed drastically: "Someone wants to harm Master Li."
Ren Woxing was taken aback, then laughed: "Master Li's cultivation is astonishing and unparalleled throughout history. Anyone who dares to provoke him is truly courting death."
"But how did you figure that out?"
Ren Yingying, holding the list, said, "These people, including Shangguan Yun, were present when Master Li defeated Dongfang Bubai, and they all have marks of being tortured."
Ren Woxing blinked. Was this a bit far-fetched?
Ren Yingying continued, "Master Li has a great secret. When he defeated Dongfang Bubai, everyone heard it. The followers at the time all swore a blood oath never to reveal it."
"It would be one thing if only one or two of these people died, but two went missing and four died, and all of them showed signs of torture."
"Someone must be spying on Master Li's secrets—"
Ren Woxing asked curiously, "What exactly is this big secret?"
Ren Yingying shook her head: "I can't say. Immediately send someone to warn Master Li and send reinforcements. Hopefully, it will be in time—"
Logically speaking, since Li Ping is "immortal," she shouldn't be so worried.
But as Dongfang Bubai said, you won't die if your head is cut off, but what if I chop you into eight pieces?
No matter how strong Li Ping is, he is still just a human being. He is blessed by immortals, but he is not a real immortal. If he is surrounded by experts, how long can his true energy last?
She couldn't imagine how crazy some people would be to kill Li Ping, after all, the secret Li Ping carried was just too tempting.
Li Ping and his group descended the mountain and entered the Zhengqi Hall.
The situation was beyond his expectations; there was no sign of tension whatsoever. On the contrary, the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.
Yue Buqun finally breathed a sigh of relief and introduced Li Ping, saying, "Hero Li, you've finally arrived."
"Let me introduce you. This is the famous Zuo Lengchan, the head of the Songshan Sect, Senior Brother Zuo."
His claim of being the leader of the Songshan Sect without mentioning anything about the Five Mountains Sword Sects clearly reveals his intentions.
Zuo Lengchan laughed heartily, stood up, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Greetings, Hero Li. Hero Li destroyed the hypocrite of Qingcheng and slew the great demon Dongfang Bubai with his sword. I admire you greatly."
"Today's glimpse reveals him to be a true young hero!"
Calling someone a hypocrite in front of Yue Buqun, haha!
Li Ping smiled slightly: "Greetings, Sect Leader Zuo. Your name is renowned far and wide!"
He also referred to himself as the Left Master instead of the Left Alliance Leader, making his attitude very clear.
Then, Li Ping's gaze was drawn to the woman next to Zuo Lengchan.
The woman wore a conical hat, and a veil covered her face, so only her outline could be roughly seen. But the curves of that outline were breathtaking enough, so perfect that she seemed to belong to another world.
Even in her wide-sleeved robe, her graceful figure was still evident. She simply sat there, and she had already attracted the attention of countless people, both men and women!
It's hard to imagine that a sitting posture where you can't see your face could evoke such a lot of imagination.
More importantly, everyone knows that Zuo Lengchan's wife died young, and he was ambitious and averse to women, so he did not remarry after his wife's death.
It's strange that he's out with a woman now, considering he never even took his wife out before.
Huang Rong glanced at Li Ping's eyes and curled her lip. This guy still can't take his eyes off pretty girls.
Huh?
No, this isn't the way Li Ping usually looks at pretty girls—
Li Ping withdrew his gaze, but Zuo Lengchan didn't seem to mind and enthusiastically introduced them to Li Ping: "These are my fellow disciples. You've all met Junior Brother Fei, Junior Brother Ding, and Junior Brother Lu before—"
Good heavens, almost half of the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan were brought out. No wonder Old Yue was so frightened.
After introducing his junior brother, Zuo Lengchan turned to the woman beside him: "This is my wife, Shi Qi."
"I didn't want to bring her along. Traveling the world with a woman is too much trouble, but she insisted on coming down with me to meet the heroes of the world."
"Hmph, what does a woman like her know about heroes and great men?!"
Everyone was stunned, never expecting Zuo Lengchan to speak of his wife like that in front of everyone.
Although she was a second wife, she was not a concubine, which made many people feel sympathy for Shi Qi.
Even Su Ying sighed inwardly, thinking how such a beautiful woman had married a man who didn't understand romance.
Zuo Lengchan said again, "Madam, if we are talking about heroes in the world today, the foremost one is Li Ping, the great hero."
"Still not going to pay your respects?"
Shi Qi seemed very unwilling, stiffly stood up, and gave a slight curtsy: "Greetings, Master Li."
She looked very reluctant, and even her voice was stiff, but just hearing her voice made many men feel like they were on cloud nine. They couldn't believe that there was such a beautiful voice in the world.
Zuo Lengchan's face immediately darkened. Seeing that he was about to curse again, Ning Zhongze couldn't stand it any longer: "Senior Brother Zuo, esteemed fellow practitioners from Songshan have graced us with their presence. Huashan has prepared a simple feast. Please, distinguished guests, take your seats."
Then, disciples led the heroes to their seats.
Li Ping walked up to Huang Rong and Su Ying, grabbed their hands, and strode forward.
Both of them stiffened involuntarily, but were secretly delighted.
Yue Lingshan felt like crying, but the men were all incredibly envious of Li Ping's good fortune with two women.
But Li Ping was using his fingers to write on their palms: "Enemy, attacker, female, strong, be careful————"
Huang Rong seemed to sense something, so she remained calm. Su Ying, who was used to hiding her emotions, also showed no unusual reaction.
It was clear that Li Ping was telling them that the attacker from before was among the Songshan Sect group, and that the woman named Shi Qi was a great master.
If even Li Ping considers her strong, then this woman is definitely extraordinary.
Yes, Li Ping had spotted the attackers from afar, and finally understood that it was someone from Songshan who had ambushed him earlier. He hadn't reacted immediately because he had realized Shi Qi's strength.
It wasn't that I was afraid, but the attacker's position was very delicate. If I launched an attack and first ambushed the strongest Shi Qi, the attacker would get away!
This time, Li Ping will absolutely not let this guy escape!
They said to chop him into minced meat, so they chopped him into minced meat!
All of this stems from the wondrous function of Qi —
Upon entering the Innate Realm, Li Ping could even sense the life force of flowers and plants, which he believed to be the "qi" often mentioned in novels!
He can now not only sense the flow of Qi, but also recognize people through their Qi and judge their strength or weakness.
He figured that if he could get a machine that could detect energy levels, he might be able to get power levels similar to those in Dragon Ball.
Back then, it was clear at a glance who was stronger!
Of course, at present, this is impossible.
In his perception, Zuo Lengchan's aura was like a glacier—cold, vast, and hard.
Shi Qi's aura is unpredictable, ethereal like the high heavens, and chilling to the bone; she is definitely a master who surpasses Zuo Lengchan.
That fart is his wife, the expert he hired.
Even outside Mount Hua, he sensed the presence of a powerful aura.
Are there even more experts lying in ambush?
It seems that Lao Zuo didn't come for Mount Hua, but for me!
