No Way People Find Cultivation Difficult, Right? - Chapter 132

Chapter 132: Academy Master, Are You Making Things Hard For Me?

In the Essence Demon Mystic Realm.

Ye Ping was a little perplexed.

The preset timing for the array formation to take him back, which he had set up previously, was about an hour or two.

Had he known that earlier, he would have adjusted the time so that he wouldn’t have to stay there with those headless flies.

Besides, Ye Ping also realized a problem.

The issue was that he could not get up to any nonsense in the spatial array formation. After all, a careless mistake would cause him to be transported to some strange and bizarre place.

This place was not too bad as there wasn’t any great danger involved. However, if he was really sent to some horrifying place, he would be doomed.

“I doubt there is a forbidden place here. Otherwise, that man in purple wouldn’t have gone so hard at it.”

“It seems that people in the immortal cultivation world are still too conservative. From now on, I should be more careful not to enter any forbidden land. Otherwise, I might get into trouble and that would be terrible.”

Ye Ping muttered to himself.

However, at the next moment, another crack suddenly appeared.

Ye Ping looked over.

Soon, a man in black appeared in front of Ye Ping.

The man looked somewhat refined and was holding a folding fan, his eyes full of confidence.

Ye Ping was a little wary, but he did not take the initiative to attack. Instead, he looked at the man in black and spoke in a friendly manner.

“Fellow Daoist, I just happened to barge in by mistake, and attacked your friend, but it was an act of helplessness. Please be magnanimous and tell that Fellow Daoist dressed in purple on my behalf that I will definitely apologize if we meet again next time.”

Ye Ping’s voice sounded.

He knew that no matter what happened, he was at fault in the first place. After all, he had mistakenly intruded into someone else’s forbidden place and was naturally the one to blame.

Mo Xiaoping was a little surprised. Unlike Fang Lei, Mo Xiaoping knew a lot about the Essence Demon and he knew what kind of an existence the Essence Demon was.

The Essence Demon was transformed from the demonic energy from the depths of the abyss. It was fearless towards death and did not have the ability to feel pain either. It was a kind of killing machine which only knew to kill. To them, blood was a fatal temptation.

However, most Essence Demons had low intelligence. Although they had some thinking ability, they would lose control over themselves when they saw fresh blood or humans. They wouldn’t be bothered despite knowing that there was danger.

Of course, there were some high-level Essence Demons that could not only restrain their killing intent, but also take on a human form and gain the wisdom of ordinary people. They would deceive cultivators and then launch a sudden attack.

However, Mo Xiaoping did not expect the “Essence Demon” in front of him to look exactly like a real human and was even as handsome as he was. That was bizarre.

However, Mo Xiaoping didn’t act rashly because the fact that Fang Lei was beaten up so badly simply proved that the Essence Demon was rather powerful, and hence, he didn’t want to fight it, less he suffered a loss.

Thinking that Ye Ping was trying to lure him, Mo Xiaoping decided to go with it and gain Ye Ping’s trust before catching him off guard.

At the thought of this, Mo Xiaoping could not help but smile faintly.

“Oh, I see. He’s my Senior Brother and he’s quite hot-tempered. He’s pretty silly too, so I think there should be some kind of misunderstanding. By the way, Fellow Daoist, my name is Mo Xiaoping, you are?”

Mo Xiaoping spoke and took a few steps forward at the same time. He slowly made his way towards Ye Ping.

Hearing Mo Xiaoping’s words, Ye Ping could not help but sigh in relief, thinking to himself that he had finally encountered a reasonable person.

He could not help but speak up immediately.

“I’m Ye Ping. Greetings, Fellow Daoist Mo.”

Ye Ping answered and bowed.

“Ye Ping?”

Mo Xiaoping was a little surprised as Ye Ping’s name seemed to ring a bell.

However, Mo Xiaoping soon stopped thinking about it. He had already stopped in front of Ye Ping and had a smile on his face. “Fellow Daoist Ye, have you heard of a sword technique called the Ten Steps Sword Technique?”

“Ten Steps Sword Technique? What does that mean?”

Ye Ping was rather shocked.

However, in the next moment, a sense of crisis arose within him.

Ye Ping instantly attacked and quickly reacted without further delay.

“You actually reacted but you are already dead. The Ten Steps Sword Technique is a sword technique where one will be killed after ten steps. I’ve practiced this for a total of 20 years. No one can survive under this technique… Psht!”

Mo Xiaoping was a little surprised that Ye Ping actually instantly reacted, but he was still very confident and even explained his sword technique to Ye Ping in layman’s terms while attacking ferociously with his sword.

However, before Mo Xiaoping finished speaking, Ye Ping used his finger as a sword and released a dragon-shaped sword energy which immediately shattered the spiritual artifact in Mo Xiaoping’s hand. Immediately afterwards, Ye Ping appeared in front of Mo Xiaoping and punched him hard.

Bang!

Mo Xiaoping’s figure was blasted backwards and he then landed hard on the ground. The area around him turned into ruins and all his ribs were broken while his organs were displaced. His face was also stained with blood.

“Damn it!”

“Ahem!”

“Academy Master, you call this an Essence Demon?”

“Do you think I, Mo Xiaoping, don’t know what an Essence Demon is?”

“Ahem!”

Mo Xiaoping vomited blood and was defeated by the punch.

Fortunately, his foundation wasn’t damaged and only his body was severely injured. Although he could be healed, he no longer had any combat power.

“Fellow Daoist Mo, can you tell me why you want to kill me? How exactly did I offend you? I’ve merely accidentally intruded your forbidden land.”

“Can you tell me which sect this is? I’ll visit you someday, alright? Why must you kill me?”

Ye Ping was distressed.

He thought that he had finally found a reasonable person.

However, he did not expect this man to be a hundred times more scheming than the man in purple. Although the man in purple was silly, he wouldn’t pull such a scheming move.

If not for his quick reaction, he might have really fallen into the trap.

However, Ye Ping really wanted to know what sect they were from and why they wanted to kill him. He felt that it was too extreme for them to want to kill him just because he had accidentally intruded.

They didn’t lose anything anyway.

‘Are they the disciples of the Fiendcelestial Cult?’

‘Otherwise, members of the famous sects shouldn’t be so extreme as to want to kill someone for trespassing their forbidden land.’

Ye Ping was bewildered.

The fact that Mo Xiaoping ignored him made Ye Ping flustered.

In his eyes, Ye Ping was like a devil. Hence, Mo Xiaoping crushed the ancient token in his hand immediately.

Ye Ping did not have time to react.

The crack appeared again, and Mo Xiaoping disappeared.

“Why did he run away again!?!”

Looking at the disappearing Mo Xiaoping, Ye Ping was really upset.

‘Can’t he sit down to talk properly?’

‘If we hit it off well, I’ll treat you to some tea next time.’

At the same time, above the altar outside.

The altar vibrated again.

This time, all eyes were on the altar again.

“What do you think, can Senior Brother Mo win?”

“Yes, Senior Brother Mo will definitely win.”

“I believe Senior Brother Mo can definitely win. Senior Brother Mo cultivates a sword technique called the Ten Steps Sword Technique. As long as he’s within ten steps of the enemy, he’d be able to kill the enemy even if the enemy is of a higher realm. No matter how strong the Essence Demon may be, it’s only at the Foundation Establishment realm.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I also believe that Senior Brother Mo will win.”

The disciples started discussing again.

However, as the light of the altar flashed, Mo Xiaoping’s body appeared lying on the altar.

“What? Senior Brother Mo was defeated too?”

“No way, Senior Brother Mo was actually defeated too?”

“How strong is this Essence Demon? Even Senior Brother Mo was defeated?”

“Senior Brother Fang and Senior Brother Mo were both defeated. Could it be an Essence Demon King?”

“That’s a bit absurd.”

In an instant, the discussion got louder.

At this moment, the senior members of the Jin Nation Academy were confused too.

Fang Lei’s defeat was explainable.

However, Mo Xiaoping had failed too?

It wasn’t that Mo Xiaoping was necessarily stronger than Fang Lei, but he should have at least learned from Fang Lei’s mistake and not ended up in such a terrible state.

“Academy Master, you didn’t really capture an Essence Demon King, did you?”

At this moment, an elder couldn’t help but send a voice transmission to the Academy Master.

However, Li Mocheng shook his head.

“How is it possible? I’m certain that it’s an ordinary Essence Demon. Maybe, this Essence Demon has hidden part of its strength, but it is definitely not an Essence Demon King.”

Li Mocheng answered.

He could confirm that it wasn’t an Essence Demon King, but he could not guarantee that this Essence Demon had hidden its strength.

“Mo Xiaoping, what happened inside?”

Li Mocheng walked toward Mo Xiaoping with a burst of spiritual energy that allowed Mo Xiaoping to barely recover.

Mo Xiaoping, who was in a coma, opened his eyes and saw Li Mocheng’s face.

He then continued in staccato sentences.

“Academy Master… are you doing this to me on purpose?”

After saying that, Mo Xiaoping passed out again.

Li Mocheng was speechless.

The gazes of the disciples, as well as the senior officials of Jin Nation when they looked at Li Mocheng, became bizarre.

“Next, try again.”

At this moment, Li Mocheng also felt a little bewildered because he was absolutely certain that he had nabbed an ordinary Essence Demon, but the situation at hand seemed absurd and ridiculous.

However, Li Mocheng did not delay and immediately sent the third disciple to try again.

The latter wasn’t scared. Those who dared to take the initiative to challenge naturally wouldn’t be scared.

However, as the third person entered, he came out again in five minutes, covered in severe injuries.

At this point, their gazes became even more peculiar.

“Next!”

Li Mocheng frowned and let the fourth disciple go in.

He just did not believe it.

“Yes.”

The fourth person was also fearless.

Five minutes passed again.

There was no change in the outcome.

The thousands of people were completely silent.

In fact, at this moment, an elder couldn’t help but speak up.

“Academy Master, although you are stern and you also want us to do well in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament, the problem is catching an Essence Demon King is a bit too much, don’t you think?”

Some elders looked helpless under the pressure.

“Elder Xu, I really didn’t! Forget it, forget it, no matter how I explain, you won’t believe me. I’ll go and see for myself.”

Li Mocheng initially wanted to explain properly, but the people present obviously did not believe him. Hence, Li Mocheng intended to see it for himself.

However, at this moment, Duanmu Yun suddenly spoke.

“Academy Master, let me try. If it is really the Essence Demon King, I won’t be injured even if I can’t defeat it. If you go, it will affect the mystic realm and there will be huge trouble if the mystic realm collapses and the Essence Demon comes out.”

Duanmu Yun was very composed and her eyes were full of confidence.

She wanted to try.

Besides, her words were a half-truth.

It was true that she wanted to go in, but she was lying about not fighting it.

Even if it was the Essence Demon King, she would not be afraid.

In fact, if she defeated the Essence Demon King, she would feel more accomplished.

“Okay! Be careful then. If it is really the Essence Demon King, come out quickly. I will directly destroy this mystic realm and suppress that Essence Demon King so as to prevent it from coming out to cause trouble.”

Li Mocheng nodded.

He felt that what Duanmu Yun said made sense.

Of course, he was also well aware of Duanmu Yun’s true thoughts.

“Yes.”

In the next moment, Duanmu Yun headed straight into the crack.

At this moment, in the mystic realm,

Ye Ping was distraught.

Four people came one after another. The first one was reckless, the second one was scheming, the third one was even more cunning, and the fourth was the most absurd. As soon as he arrived, he said that he would take Ye Ping away. He even claimed to be the incarnation of some abyssal demon, making Ye Ping excited.

Before he could light up the Golden Wheel of Expiation, he suffered a sneak attack.

In the end, Ye Ping gave him a hard beating.

However, Ye Ping also figured out that he should have reached the forbidden place of a demonic sect.

Otherwise, the famous sects wouldn’t be so brutal!

When Ye Ping was thinking about it, the crack appeared again all of a sudden.

Soon, the figure of a woman appeared in front of Ye Ping.

“It’s indeed the Fiendcelestial Cult.”

“They’re using beauty to trick me.”

“Hah, unfortunately, I’m not interested in women.”

“Female Patron, watch my fist.”
