Chapter 138: This Foundation Establishment is Too Shameless!

The Cultivator Alliance knows the general appearance of Exorcist Mage Yunkong, who ruined their offensive plan and killed their True Disciple.

Especially that short white hair, which is quite conspicuous.

However... as they clearly saw the white-haired youth walking from afar.

That young master, who had originally thought he was facing a catastrophe, let out an "eh" sound, then suddenly said with a sinister expression:

"An, look and see if that guy is really only at the Qi Refining Late Stage!"

An, being called like that, also snapped back to his senses and immediately activated the Dharma Artifact on his person.

Soon, the expression on this sword cultivator's face relaxed slightly:

"I have used the Insight Stone given by the Old Ancestor; as long as the opponent is not a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator proficient in the path of concealment, I can detect a thing or two."

"This person is indeed a bit strange, seemingly some kind of Natural Spirit Body, but overall his cultivation should be at the Qi Refining Late Stage... he should also be a Body Cultivator at the Body Refining Late Stage!"

"Good!"

That young master felt settled in his heart, staring at the white-haired youth and smiling:

"I don't know where this brat came from, thinking that having white hair is enough to pretend to be that madman and make us afraid?"

"An, take him down!"

An nodded slightly and summoned his Long Sword.

He is a Qi Refining Level 9 sword cultivator, naturally a standout in duels within the same realm.

He also possesses a High-grade Dharma Sword and a Body Protection Dharma Artifact.

Dealing with a greenhorn should be a sure thing!

"Young Master, just watch the battle for me in a moment."

After An finished speaking, several rays of light emerged from his body; for the sake of caution, he still used a few Talismans to enhance his strength.

Immediately, the highly-regarded An gripped his Dharma Sword and turned into a blurred shadow, charging toward the white-haired youth.

His figure was like lightning, his sword light sharp.

One look at his move and you could tell he was a seasoned sword cultivator!

Bang!

An thrust forward, even bringing up dozens of sword-energy phantoms that flashed and vanished in the air.

Then, this sword cultivator had his old face grabbed by the white-haired youth, who had acted later but arrived first.

The golden light of his body protection shattered, and the Body Protection Dharma Artifact cracked.

And then, following a loud bang!

The kicked-up dust rose into the air with a whoosh, and because of the air vortex, it turned into a circle of a canopy in mid-air.

That young master, who had just taken out a Talisman and was preparing to cast a spell, froze in place.

He looked in disbelief at An, whose body was more than half-buried flat in the mud.

At this moment, An was on the verge of death.

Every bone in his body seemed to have been destroyed by some kind of force in that instant.

And that white-haired youth, as if he hadn't even made a move, simply turned his gaze toward him.

"Ho... how is this possible!"

"You, you absolutely cannot be a Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator! You are that white-haired madman, you are a Foundation Establishment Body Cultivator!"

The young master retreated repeatedly, and he had indeed guessed some of the truth.

However, this could not change his impending fate.

The moment this young master prepared to turn and run toward Golden Spring City, Su Ping had already approached behind him, released his Divine Sense to suppress him, and simultaneously grabbed the back of his head and smashed it down fiercely!

Boom!

Another human-shaped pit appeared, and then that young master, like his An, became a paralyzed person who could only breathe.

"My Divine Sense has grown stronger, and my body can enter a state of micro-control for fine-tuning at any time."

"Even without using the power of my true body, relying solely on the qualitative change of the Greedy Wolf Divine Sense for augmentation, it seems that anyone below Qi Refining Perfection without divine abilities is no match for me in a single encounter?"

The white-haired youth is just a Memory Illusion controlled by Su Ping, possessing only the power of Exorcist Mage Yunkong himself.

However, when in Su Ping's remote control state, although the physique and cultivation of the true body cannot be brought over, the Divine Sense can be augmented, though it is slightly weaker than the true body.

But even so, it is still enough to suppress these two clowns!

The white-haired youth used the Object Manipulation Technique to lift the two defenseless captives into mid-air.

Then, he took a deep look at the seemingly normal Golden Spring City, turned around, and began to move away with the captives.

One thousand meters, two thousand meters... until his figure was hidden in the dense forest.

Su Ping discovered that Golden Spring City remained exactly as it was.

"Do they not care about these two, nor fear me running off to report them, or is it that the Dharma Array within the city is operating at a critical moment and they cannot leave?"

Su Ping had been tracking the Cultivator Alliance envoy group since half an hour ago.

And he watched them enter Golden Spring City, only to have one old man and one young man escape, covered in dirt.

Coupled with Su Ping being a Second Tier Array Master, he discovered that something was wrong with Golden Spring City at the first opportunity.

How could he not know that Golden Spring City must have a major problem now; it is either evil cultivators or some Demonic Path sect causing trouble.

Su Ping looked at the two people on the verge of death, recalling some interrogation methods of the Side-Door Path in his mind.

Su Ping first released a small Dharma Array to shield the surroundings.

Then, he cooperated with the Greedy Wolf Divine Sense to assist in interrogating the two.

But after a short while.

He even knew how many times that little young master had wet the bed when he was a child.

During this period, he also sensed a certain Mental Restriction appearing in their minds.

It was just that this Mental Restriction, when struck by Su Ping's Greedy Wolf Divine Sense, felt as if a greedy wolf had opened its mouth and inhaled, breaking it instantly.

It was also this scene that terrified that young master, making the status of Exorcist Mage Yunkong seem to suddenly soar to some strange height.

This made the subsequent interrogation much simpler and easier.

This young master was Song Du, a third-generation great-grandson of the Song Family, one of the three giants within the Cultivator Alliance.

The reason the Song Family could be so influential in the Cultivator Alliance had to do with the fact that they had three Foundation Establishment cultivators in their family.

Of course, apart from the founding Old Ancestor, the other two Foundation Establishment cultivators were not of the Song Family's direct bloodline, but were family-born retainers raised from adopted geniuses.

Furthermore, they had all married direct bloodline members of the Song Family and had children, so they could be considered members of the Song Family.

Relying on this background, Song Du had become arrogant after the Cultivator Alliance was officially established in this Central Region, and he had indeed obtained quite a few benefits.

This gave him a bit more hope for his own future of reaching Qi Refining Perfection and then Foundation Establishment.

Yet he never expected to fall here.

Even now, he only felt that fate was playing a cruel trick on him; he clearly hadn't provoked those who couldn't be provoked, yet he had still run into the problematic Golden Spring City.

And then he had encountered a white-haired madman who, for some reason, held a grudge against the Cultivator Alliance.

And this white-haired madman was clearly a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator!

Yet he insisted on disguising himself as a Qi Refining Late Stage cultivator, and he had disguised himself so well—he must have put in a lot of effort!

It was simply... too shameless!

Su Ping also learned about the situation regarding Golden Spring City from the mouth of this young master, Song Du.

According to what young master Song Du said, he had only relied on his status as a great-grandson to be called over by his ancestor before setting out, where he was given the Wooden Tablet after the Mental Restriction was placed on him.

He was told that if he accidentally entered some dangerous place, he could take out this Wooden Tablet to save his life.

He didn't know much else.

And that Golden Spring City... it was clearly occupied by evil cultivators, and an organized team of evil cultivators at that, who had set up a Dharma Array, preparing to perform a Blood Sacrifice on the entire city!

"Blood Sacrifice the entire city?"

"If this succeeds, I'm afraid some incredible disaster will be stirred up!"

Su Ping knocked the two of them unconscious and threw them into the Dharma Array.

If not for the Memory Illusion, Su Ping's choice would naturally have been to run as far away as possible and then spread the news, letting the tall ones take the hit.

But now that he had the Memory Illusion, the fearless Su Ping felt he could be without fear.

Furthermore, judging from what Song Du said.

There was a high probability that these evil cultivators were supported by Foundation Establishment cultivators from other forces behind the scenes.

Even the fact that the other party could set up a Dharma Array in Golden Spring City so quietly and secretly.

Su Ping highly suspected that the local immortal cultivation families were also colluding with the evil cultivators, just like the Song Family ancestor.

Perhaps even the Supreme Elder or the Clan Leader themselves was already an evil cultivator!

Su Ping pondered for a moment, then used the aura of the Yun Kong Memory Illusion to leave a message about the major problem in Golden Spring City on over a dozen blank Jade Slips.

Afterward, he handed them to the Wen Bird and had it carry these Jade Slips.

It was to go to the City Lord Mansions of other cities, including Jinque City, and the strongholds of the Small Golden Light Temple, throwing one Jade Slip into each place it encountered.

Su Ping couldn't guarantee anything else.

At the very least, the City Lord Mansion of Jinque City and the Jiuye Mountain Market were not controlled by evil cultivators; once those local powers knew about this, they would definitely report it and spread the word through official channels.

And the Small Golden Light Temple was, at least for now, the most reliable sect force in terms of resisting evil cultivators.

They should also have channels to report to other medium and large sects.

This could be considered Su Ping providing a safety net for this operation.

In case the Memory Illusion didn't win by force...

It was impossible to let the real body take the risk.

At least by then, experts would be able to arrive quickly to clean up the mess.

Inside Golden Spring City.

Three old men in black robes appeared on the city wall, looking at the white-haired youth who had appeared on the main road once again.

"This guy is not simple."

"How did he just deal with that sword cultivator? Did you see, Third Brother?"

"I couldn't see clearly either; I can only estimate that the other party has at least the strength of a Body Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage. We cannot be deceived by appearances."

"Rest assured, we know what is important; we will absolutely not leave this great array!"

"And inside the array, with the combined strength of the three of us, let alone one Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if one or two more came, they wouldn't be able to do anything to us!"

"It's just a pity about that blood relative of the old Song Family; that was a good sacrifice. If I hadn't promised... I really wouldn't want to let him go."

"..."

The three old men in black robes suddenly paused.

They discovered that the white-haired youth was constantly approaching.

"Is this kid really crazy?"

"He wants to enter the city? Is he planning to stop our Blood Sacrifice of the entire city all by himself?"

The old men in black robes looked at each other, not underestimating the opponent, but immediately retreated into the black mist and prepared for battle.

Su Ping, through the vision of the Memory Illusion, carefully examined the increasingly close Golden Spring City.

A vast amount of knowledge related to Dharma Arrays surfaced in his mind.

Before long, Su Ping had already deduced that this seemed to be of the same lineage as the Blood Crystal Array in the Evil Qi Jade Slip he had seen before.

And it had added several types of illusions to it, thereby managing to deceive ordinary cultivators.

"The person who set up the array should be an old hand. This set of linked Dharma Arrays can barely be rated as 'good'!"

"What a pity, before my eyes, it is still full of many flaws!"

"For me, this is actually good news!"

The white-haired youth revealed a smile.

Immediately, he stood at the city gate, not entering, but instead directly summoned a Cold Ice Array in front of him!

Hum!

As soon as the Dharma Array appeared, the area around the city gate was covered in a layer of frost.

At the same time, just like metal encountering concentrated sulfuric acid, the city gate and city walls covered by the Cold Ice Array hissed and emitted billowing white steam.

Simultaneously, the white-haired youth struck once again.

An Ice Giant Sword descended from the sky, directly smashing a watchtower to pieces.

Inside Golden Spring City.

Three old men in black robes all changed color at once:

"Something is wrong, could this brat have seen our array diagrams? How did he discover the array nodes!"

"And that power of ice, it actually suppresses Holy Power to such a degree!"

"This brat must be a Profaner!"

Feeling the power characteristics of Exorcist Mage Yunkong's Cold Ice Array.

A rage that they could hardly resist surged in the hearts of these evil cultivators.

They all moved at once, operating the Dharma Array at full power.

Suddenly, the illusion of Golden Spring City shattered from high above!

It revealed a deathly, lifeless ghost city where black energy rolled everywhere!

At the same time, a large amount of black energy surged out from within the city, violently expanding in a fan-shaped range of over a thousand meters toward the white-haired youth, wrapping him inside the black energy array!

"Didn't expect this, did you! With our great array operating at full power, we can temporarily expand the array's range!"

Seeing that white-haired youth enter the array.

The three old men in black robes all laughed out loud together!

Afterward, they each controlled hundreds of strands of black energy, rushing toward the white-haired youth Yunkong!

But!

The black energy was still halfway there!

In the distance, at the dense forest!

Su Ping, who had his eyes closed, reached out his right hand and lightly swiped forward!

A giant hand condensed from hundreds of Supernatural Arms suddenly appeared in the air, arriving first despite starting later, and landed with a palm strike, hitting exactly where the black energy array, under full activation...

Exposed its weakest point!
