Bai Yuying’s younger brother did not respond. Shen Ping noticed that the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in front of the flying ship had tilted his body and came to a realization. He did not ask further and closed his eyes to rest.

Two days passed.

The flying ship crossed the Hundred Thousand Mountains and arrived at the edge of the blood-stained area. The faint blood color was like a life and death line that could not be crossed. It was separated from the Hundred Thousand Mountains and the outside world, making it impossible to ignore.

All the cultivators were restless. Everyone knew that as long as they crossed this line of blood, they would be able to see the vast sea and sky. However, if they could not cross it…

Yu Yan tightened her grip. Mu Jin subconsciously hugged Shen Ping’s arm and pursed her lips. Life and death were right in front of them.

At this moment, the other two flying ships suddenly accelerated. A blue token floated in the palm of the Foundation Establishment Cultivator standing in front. As spiritual energy was injected into the token, it emitted a light barrier that enveloped the entire flying ship.

Bam! Bam!

In the blink of an eye, the two flying ships collided with the blood-colored line and created layers of blood-colored ripples. These ripples spread in all directions at an extremely fast speed. Meanwhile, the light barrier activated by the azure token cut through the blood-colored edge.

Seeing this scene, all the cultivators heaved a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with excitement. However, the moment the two flying ships passed halfway, the blood-colored edge seemed to have triggered some restriction and suddenly became rich. The ripples that had spread far away quickly returned and collided fiercely with the azure light barrier.

Boom!

The blue light barrier shattered. Before all the cultivators on the flying ship could react, they were drowned by the blood. In a few breaths, they turned into a pool of blood and fused into the blood.

Shen Ping’s expression was ugly. Yu Yan could not help but bite her lip and say, “Husband, it’s great that I can be by your side!”

Shen Ping glanced at Bai Yuying’s younger brother and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, we’ll definitely be fine!” His heart was in his throat. His palms were covered in sweat.

Under the terrifying blood-colored energy, even Foundation Establishment cultivators could not resist at all, let alone a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refinement like him. Now, he could only leave it to fate. He recalled the details of his cultivation in the past.

Shen Ping took a deep breath and held it in. Just as the purple sword-shaped flying ship was about to collide, the Foundation Establishment cultivator in front flipped his wrist, and a token identical to the other two flying ships appeared in his palm.

However, the token was emerald green.

Buzz-

The token emitted a light barrier, and a faint low moan that shook one’s mind sounded from the light barrier. The purple flying ship was like a green longsword that pierced directly into the blood-colored line. Just like before, the blood-colored line first produced ripples that spread out with the purple flying ship as the center. Then, a large number of ripples returned.

Thick blood-colored power burst forth and collided with the green light barrier with a bang. However, the green light barrier only trembled. Then, it suddenly accelerated and passed through the long blood-colored line that filled the Hundred Thousand Mountains!

“We’ve crossed it!” A cultivator blurted out excitedly.

Shen Ping closed his eyes, and his tense mind completely relaxed. Yu Yan was all smiles. Mu Jin hugged her arms even tighter, almost squeezing out the sweet juice of the honeydew. Her sweet face surged with indescribable joy.

Swoosh.

The purple flying ship quickly left the blood-colored line and quickly transformed into a rainbow that disappeared into the horizon. Shen Ping opened his eyes again and looked back at the increasingly blurry Hundred Thousand Mountains. A few figures appeared in his mind.

No matter how many times they had interacted with those familiar and unfamiliar people, regardless of their cultivation level, this time… it was goodbye!

Cloud Mountain Parlour, this cultivator market that contained his previous hopes and pain, his struggles, decadence, joy, and pain, goodbye!

As his thoughts drifted, Shen Ping suddenly looked straight ahead and gently placed his sleeve behind his back. A smile appeared in his eyes.

Ten minutes passed, the purple light gradually slowed down in the sky above a desolate mountain range in the Wei Kingdom. A few moments later, it landed at the waist of the mountain.

The Foundation Establishment Cultivator shrouded in a black robe turned around and said indifferently, “You’re quite lucky, but whether you’re lucky next will depend on your sincerity.” As soon as he said this, the expressions of the cultivators on the flying ship changed slightly, but they were not surprised, as if they had expected this.

Shen Ping frowned and thought about what kind of sincerity he should show.

“The three of you can leave!” At this moment, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator spoke again.

Shen Ping was stunned. A voice transmission sounded in his ears. “Senior, I’m leaving my sister to you!” He looked at Bai Yuying’s younger brother, who looked over.

“Thank you!” Shen Ping replied and hurriedly took Yu Yan and Mu Jin to the Dharma artifact to leave. It was not until the mountain range behind them became a blurry dot that he sighed. “Life is unpredictable.”

Yu Yan asked curiously, “Husband, the black-robed cultivator on the flying ship seems to know you?”

“He’s Bai Yuying’s brother. It’s all thanks to him that we can leave safely this time.”

With Matchmaker Ceng’s guidance, he chose the purple flying ship. It was not a problem for him to leave the Cloud Mountain Swamp and the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but without Bai Yuying’s brother’s help just now, it was probably not easy to walk out of the flying ship.

Sometimes, fortune was the source of disaster.

“Talisman Master Shen, thank you!” Mu Jin cupped her hands seriously. This journey seemed to be safe, but it was abnormally dangerous.

“Fellow Daoist Mu, what do you plan to do next?” Shen Ping asked casually.

The True Treasure Pavilion had shops in various markets in the Wei Kingdom, but the external members of these shops had long been full. Cloud Mountain Parlour was newly built. Now that the True Treasure Pavilion had been evacuated, it was a little difficult for an external member like Mu Jin to return to the True Treasure Pavilion.

“I’m a rogue cultivator now. Where can I go?” Mu Jin didn’t feel sad. Instead, she smiled sweetly and said, “Talisman Master Shen, I owe you a huge favor this time. You should be going to Qingyang City, right? I can only shamelessly go with you.”

Shen Ping shook his head and said, “Fellow Daoist Mu more or less has some connections. This time, you avoided danger. If you go to Qingyang City, you might be able to enter the True Treasure Pavilion.”

Mu Jin knew that it was a comforting remark, but she still said coquettishly, “Thank you, Talisman Master Shen.”

Shen Ping suddenly frowned.

“Husband, what’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing. Let’s go down first!” As he spoke, the dharma artifact flickered and quickly landed in front of a hundred-year-old tree on the ground.

Yu Yan’s expression changed slightly. “Husband, it’s the other rogue cultivators of the flying ship. They’re following us.”

“Don’t worry about it. Shen Ping smiled faintly and said confidently, “It’s just five rogue cultivators.”

He had a Foundation Establishment Divine Sense. He could sense that other than the five rogue cultivators, there were no Foundation Establishment Cultivators secretly following him. That was why he could reason with them.

Mu Jin also smiled and said, “Fellow Daoist Yu, Talisman Master Shen is a guest of the True Treasure Pavilion. Not to mention other methods, the guest wooden token alone is enough to withstand the full-strength attack of an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.”

“Wait where you are. I’ll be back soon!” He handed Yu Yan two Armor Spirit Talismans and rushed up on his Dharma artifact.

“Husband, you must be careful!” Yu Yan still reminded him.

Soon, the five late-stage Qi Refinement cultivators stopped in the air hundreds of meters away. They looked at Shen Ping, who had activated the Armor Spirit Talisman, and fell silent.

They had already emptied their storage bags to leave the flying ship and did not even leave half a spirit stone behind. They could only come and try to take advantage of the situation. However, they knew that the cultivator in front of them was not to be trifled with. When they crossed the Cloud Mountain Swamp, the Level Two Armor Spirit Talisman was very eye-catching.

Moreover, he could leave the flying ship calmly with two mid-stage Qi Refinement cultivators. His background was probably not low. However, they had to try. What if they succeeded?

“Fellow Daoist, we don’t have any other intentions. We just want to borrow some spirit stones.”

Shen Ping waved his hand. 50 low-grade spirit stones floated in front of the five rogue cultivators. “All of us aren’t having it easy. I’ll give these spirit stones to all of you. It can be considered that we’re fated to live together.”

The corners of the five rogue cultivators’ mouths twitched. He really did give them. One of the rogue cultivators with a thick aura looked unfriendly. “Fellow Daoist, aren’t you too stingy—” As soon as he said that, he swallowed his words. “Farewell!” He cupped his hands at Shen Ping and turned to leave cleanly.

The other four also cupped their hands. “Thank you for the spirit stones,

Fellow Daoist. I’m endlessly grateful. See you again!”

As soon as they finished speaking, they quickly activated the Dharma artifact with his spiritual energy.

Shen Ping looked at the five rogue cultivators who hurriedly left and sighed. “Cultivators become more and more timid the more they live.” After putting away the five Lightning Talismans, two Armor Spirit Talismans, and a hundred Golden Light Talismans floating on his body, he returned to the tree.

Mu Jin asked curiously, “Talisman Master Shen, you solved it so quickly?”

Shen Ping smiled gently. “Those fellow Daoists are very easy to talk to. I gave them some spirit stones and they left.”

“They only borrowed some spirit stones?”

“Yes.”

II

How much?”

“Ten low-grade spirit stones.”

Stunned, Mu Jin smiled and said, “It’s indeed quite good.”

Yu Yan glanced at Shen Ping strangely.

“Let’s go! Let’s go to Qingyang City!” Shen Ping waved his sleeve, and the three of them landed on the flying Dharma artifact. As the spiritual light flickered, the Dharma artifact disappeared with a long rainbow..
