Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 628 - 306: Fierce Battle Against the True Lord
But truly unexpected was his defense being so formidable, able to withstand True Monarch Chixiao for so long without any harm, plus having a Fourth Rank Puppet for assistance.
With such strength, it’s likely enough to be treated as a normal Nascent Soul cultivator.
"True Monarch Lan Ling praises too highly." Xu Ping modestly smiled, neither arrogant nor submissive.
"Little Friend Yan, there’s no need to be over modest."
The Earth Elephant Demon Monarch finally spoke, his voice ancient yet full of profound power,
"Though I have long dwelled in the valley, I’ve heard of your deeds in slaying seven Golden Core elders of the Red Sand Sect."
"And now, to be able to withstand True Monarch Chixiao’s attack for so long, it’s truly rare."
As the three talked, they flew towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, the atmosphere congenial and harmonious.
...
A day later, the news of Xu Ping contending with True Monarch Chixiao swept through the entire Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, surpassing the acclaim from slaying the seven Golden Core elders of the Red Sand Sect.
After all, True Monarch Chixiao is a genuine Nascent Soul powerhouse. The gap between Nascent Soul and Golden Core is like a chasm, difficult to surpass.
In their full-force confrontation, True Monarch Chixiao couldn’t lay a finger on Xu Ping, which indeed shook the entire Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
The value of this victory far exceeded the rumor of withstanding two hits from True Monarch Wan Chun without any harm.
...
However, as everyone in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons was immersed in Xu Ping’s formidable achievements, Yun Qing Zhenren was facing a life or death crisis.
In a remote town in the southwestern part of Wind Country, Yun Qing Zhenren found himself in danger.
He originally ventured on the "Heart Refining Path" to break through the Nascent Soul, traveling the world and experiencing various states to achieve a state of Perfection.
Who would have thought that during his journey, he would fall into a carefully orchestrated trap by the Red Sand Sect.
Five Golden Core elders of the Red Sand Sect set up the Heavenly Yin Soul Suppressing Array, surrounding him completely.
These elders are each formidable, and with the aid of the array, even Yun Qing Zhenren, the first genius of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, found himself in a perilous situation.
"Yun Qing Zhenren, your Valley’s Yan Ruchen slew our Red Sand Sect’s seven elders. Today, you must repay with your life!"
The leading elder in a red robe announced coldly with a face full of killing intent.
Yun Qing Zhenren’s face was pale, with multiple deep bone-revealing wounds on his body, continuous bleeding staining his white feather robe, his breath becoming rapid and weak.
Facing this unprovoked disaster, he truly wanted to curse out loud.
It was Yan Ruchen who killed them, go find Yan Ruchen!
Why come to me?
Though feeling intensely unwilling, the words turned into another plea: "My Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and your Red Sand Sect have long been at odds; Elder Yan slaying your sect’s cultivators is just normal sect-to-sect conflict."
"You are so despicable, bullying with numbers; it really shows narrow-mindedness!"
"Hmph, cut the nonsense!"
The elder in the red robe said no more, waving his hand, the five simultaneously struck, as spiritual light poured down on Yun Qing Zhenren like a torrential rain.
Yun Qing Zhenren resisted with all his might, but ultimately was outnumbered.
Amid a fierce attack, a crimson Sword Qi pierced his chest, blood spurted out, and he flew tens of yards away like a kite with a broken string.
...
Three days later.
Celestial Cyan Peak welcomed a special guest.
Elder Bai Feipeng personally brought the Law Enforcement Disciple who once troubled Xie Lu to visit Xu Ping, sincerely apologizing.
"Friend Yan, Bai has failed to supervise, allowing this unworthy disciple to offend Friend Yan’s people in the Contribution Hall."
"I come today to apologize, hoping Friend Yan will be magnanimous."
Bai Feipeng’s face showed embarrassment and sincerity in his tone.
The Law Enforcement Disciple trembled all over, cold sweat already dripping from his forehead, kneeling and not daring to raise his head.
Xu Ping was calm, smiling lightly.
Though he had long known of this matter, he didn’t take it to heart.
"Elder Bai overstates; this is merely a misunderstanding among juniors, why make such a fuss?"
He waved his hand, indicating no problem.
Bai Feipeng solemnly shook his head, "No, no. Rules are rules; if broken, how can the Contribution Hall ensure fairness?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"This person not only failed to enforce the law justly but abused power, such behavior must not continue."
After speaking, he seriously announced, "From today on, this person is demoted to a menial disciple for ten years as a warning to others!"
Upon hearing this, the Law Enforcement Disciple’s face turned pale like paper, but dared not voice any complaint, trembling as he kowtowed to apologize.
To this, Xu Ping said nothing more.
He was well aware that this all stemmed from the astounding strength he recently displayed.
Had he remained on Celestial Cyan Peak, not making a move, having Bai Feipeng personally bring someone to apologize would be nothing more than a fool’s dream.
Then, Bai Feipeng took out a delicate cyan jade box from his sleeve, "This is an Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, a small token from our Contribution Hall to express apology."
Xu Ping glanced at the still kneeling Law Enforcement Disciple, shook his head slightly, then accepted the jade box, saying, "Since Elder Bai shows such sincerity, I would humbly accept."
Upon hearing this, Bai Feipeng slightly sighed with relief.
Though both were from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, he knew well that offending a cultivator capable of contending with a Nascent Soul True Monarch was a foolish act.
Now that Xu Ping accepted this apology, it preserved the Contribution Hall’s dignity to take the step down.
The two then chatted a bit, discussing the sect’s recent affairs and the changes in the external situation.
After a pleasant conversation, Bai Feipeng rose to bid farewell, taking away the demoted former Law Enforcement Disciple from Celestial Cyan Peak.
...
After Bai Feipeng left, Xu Ping called Xie Lu, handing him the jade box Bai Feipeng had just given: "Since this matter originally involves you, this Foundation Establishment Pill suits you best."
