Chapter 173: Mortals Are Not Enough!

"The Nanhuang Incense Divine Path lineage truly has some ability!"

"By utilizing Incense Wish Power, they can actually strengthen Side-Door Path techniques to such a degree."

"This wait was worth it."

Su Ping looked at the green-faced, fanged Ghost Gods flying in the air, not only showing no fear but instead speaking in admiration.

And it was indeed from the heart.

He had read extensively during this period, and he had looked through all the Side-Door Path methods collected by various families.

Even the theoretically supreme techniques among them could not compare to these secret arts of the Blood God Sect.

Su Ping's Divine Sense had seen at a glance that the true forms of these green-faced, fanged Ghost Gods were only at Qi Refining Perfection.

Yet, they relied on the method of Incense Divine possession to become Ghost Gods comparable to Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, the side effects... were mostly borne by the two Incense boys in the sedan.

Su Ping could feel that the thousands of grievances and unwillingness within the incense, the resentment of seeking but not obtaining, were all entwined within, eroding the opponent's Divine Soul.

Sweeping across these four green-faced Ghost Gods.

Su Ping's Divine Sense stirred, and he used a Spirit Talisman, accompanied by the appearance of streaks of purple light.

Eight purple-light foxes were summoned, crashing head-on into the opponent's green-faced, fanged Ghost Gods.

As soon as the incense aura covering these four Ghost Gods encountered the thunder light, it was like gasoline meeting an open flame.

Their entire bodies were swathed in thunder light, and billowing black smoke emerged.

The four Ghost Gods also simultaneously let out extremely miserable wails.

"Summoning eight Foundation Establishment Spirit Beasts in one breath?"

"Which sect's true-transmission prodigy is this guy!"

The Main Priest was greatly shocked, looking at the Incense Ghost Gods that had fallen into a disadvantage due to being ganged up on and attribute suppression.

Then he looked at the black and white boys pinned on the Ice Array, unable to move.

The Main Priest, positioned in the center, took the initiative to ignite a Talisman.

A white light emerged in front, temporarily blocking the continuous firepower output of Su Ping's Supernatural Arm.

At the same time, the paper figures turned into streaks of white light one after another, entering the bottom of the sedan to become part of its power source.

The Main Priest steered the floating wooden sedan, actually charging directly into the high sky in an attempt to escape.

Afterwards, lines emerged on the ground.

A Second Tier Array covering the entire mountain valley suddenly appeared, shrouding the whole battlefield.

The moment this Array activated.

The entire valley emitted a humming sound.

A huge suction force pulled the wooden sedan, which had already ascended, back down by force!

"This is... an Array! This person is actually also an Array Master!"

"And an experienced Array genius capable of setting up such a large-scale Array in a short time!"

The Main Priest could not understand how he had encountered such a prodigy who only existed in Immortal Sect novels.

And he had even made himself an enemy of him!

This thieving heaven, how unfair!

The huge wooden sedan slammed into the ground, directly emitting a dull, loud noise.

At the same time, the four green-faced, fanged Ghost Gods were also blasted back to the side of the sedan by streaks of Heavenly Thunder, revealing their original forms.

Seeing this scene, the black and white boys seemed to realize that relying on others to save their lives was no longer a reliable matter.

The two of them let out a strange cry.

Their entire bodies actually turned into a mass of soft mud.

Su Ping was slightly stunned, and after a sound of surprise, he felt the Divine Souls of the black and white boys emerge from the soft mud, turning into two evil spirits and charging toward him.

Awoo!

Facing the evil spirits.

Before the evil-warding spiritual light could even take effect, the Greedy Wolf Divine Sense in Su Ping's mind moved first.

Four Greedy Wolf Divine Senses appeared around the black and white boys, who had just emerged and were preparing to attack or escape using the profundity of their Divine Souls.

Amidst a burst of wolf howls.

In this Void that ordinary cultivators could not see, a burst of wailing and biting sounds emerged.

After a while, the two masses of soft mud at Su Ping's feet completely lost their vitality, covered in frost and turned into plain ice sculptures.

Su Ping extended his right hand toward the sedan and lightly flicked his index finger.

Exorcist Mage Yunkong's ultimate move, Meteor Fall, once again displayed its power, crashing down directly.

The Main Priest in the wooden sedan sensed danger and hurriedly took out a Copper Mirror, spraying a mouthful of hot blood onto the mirror.

Blood tears flowed from the eyes of the two Incense boys behind him.

The incense aura on their bodies also became more intense.

So much so that the entire large sedan was filled with incense aura.

This incense turned into hundreds and thousands of faces of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, meeting the frost-covered meteor.

Accompanied by a booming loud noise, cracks appeared almost everywhere on the entire wooden sedan.

The Main Priest knelt halfway in the sedan, looking at the mirror and just breathing a sigh of relief, thinking he had withstood the opponent's strongest blow.

But he immediately felt streaks of Heavenly Thunder falling down.

It made him deeply realize why the Ghost Gods his subordinates had turned into were defeated so quickly when facing these Heavenly Thunders.

Fortunately, such Heavenly Thunder did not come without a price.

Relying on the Copper Mirror, the Main Priest could see those purple-light foxes capable of unleashing terrifying Heavenly Thunder shrinking rapidly and even disappearing.

Once he had withstood another round of Heavenly Thunder, the Main Priest watched the last purple-light fox vanish and could not help but heave a long sigh of relief.

Relying on his own century of accumulation and those two Incense boys, he had managed to hold on this time, right?

After all, the opponent was also at Foundation Establishment; to have such combat power and preparation was already truly incredible. It seemed he should be low on Dharma Power by now!

Next, as long as he saw through the reality of the Array and found a path to escape, it would be... hmm?

The Main Priest was just preparing to activate the function of the Copper Mirror to find a path to escape.

Yet he discovered that the white-haired youth in front was flying through the air, holding a Spirit Tool orb in his left hand and a Spirit Tool Huijuan floating by his right hand.

Coupled with the increasingly strong Dharma Power fluctuations on his body.

The Main Priest could not help but swallow saliva that did not exist in his throat.

Two Spirit Tools!

This Foundation Establishment cultivator actually had two Spirit Tools!

Thinking of himself as a Main Priest, he had not accumulated enough materials to refine even one Spirit Tool after so many years.

The white-haired youth before his eyes looked so young yet already had two unfathomable Spirit Tools accompanying him.

Comparing a Cultivator to a Cultivator, it is enough to anger a Cultivator to death!

He looked back again at the two Incense boys who had already rotted into incense mud.

After hesitating for 0.1 seconds, the moment he saw the opponent's two Spirit Tools bloom with light, about to unleash a move.

The Main Priest waved his hand to withdraw the Dharma Array of the wooden sedan, his knees softened, and he knelt on the floor in a rather standard fashion:

"Immortal Sect prodigy, spare my life!"

"This humble one is Yuan Mu, a Main Priest of the Blood God Sect, willing to atone for my crimes and turn over a new leaf!"

"This humble one knows many secrets within the sect, which will surely be useful to the Immortal Sect!"

The Main Priest lowered his head, not daring to look directly into the white-haired youth's eyes.

Su Ping heard this in his ears and also knew that the opponent must have misunderstood his status and identity, thinking that there was an Immortal Sect behind him.

However, Su Ping would naturally not expose that he was actually just a Loose Cultivator, at most possessing the semi-Immortal Sect status of a Jinque City Inspector?

"I come from the Chiyuan Immortal Sect!"

Su Ping smiled indifferently and spoke a True Word.

"Chiyuan Immortal Sect!"

The Main Priest was greatly shocked, and immediately felt that this was the correct, and should-be-so, situation.

After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, let alone a behemoth like the Chiyuan Immortal Sect?

The opponent might just be a top-tier prodigy of the younger generation, having come this time specifically to purge the influence of the Nanhuang Incense Divine Path in the Central Region!

As for the reason, according to Immortal Sect novels and certain autobiographies of prodigies, it was probably a slightly difficult sect trial mission?

But as of now, the higher the opponent's status, the more advantageous it seemed to the Main Priest.

He gathered his courage and said:

"I beg the Immortal Sect prodigy to notify your sect and borrow some hidden place; otherwise... under the gaze of the Blood God Sect Leader, there are many secrets I cannot speak of."

"That is simple; first, give up resistance."

Su Ping agreed, and at the same time, a Supernatural Arm emerged and grabbed toward the Main Priest.

Naturally, he would not believe the opponent just based on a single mouth.

The Divine Ability Giant Hand grabbed the Main Priest, and layers of Restrictions were easily struck into the opponent's body.

Generally speaking, such means were enough to imprison a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

This Main Priest was clearly of the unusual variety.

But Su Ping was not reassured by just this.

After the imprisonment, the Array map unfolded.

After giving an order not to resist, the Array map rolled up.

It had already taken this Main Priest into the Huijuan, and in coordination with Cold Ice Heavy Water, solidified him into an ice coffin.

Afterward, Su Ping was not in a hurry to question this Main Priest.

Instead, he summoned the Spirit Mouse to clean up the battlefield.

After a while, having collected all usable items into his Storage Spirit Tool and Storage Bag.

Su Ping then walked away quickly, found a mountain cave, opened the Pot Heaven, and disappeared from the Cultivation World.

Inside the Pot Heaven.

Su Ping then opened the Huijuan and entered it.

Su Ping opened the ice coffin and released the Main Priest, who was in a dazed state.

"This is an Array space!"

"That Huijuan is indeed a Spirit Tool, and a highly special Array Tool at that!"

"Could this prodigy be of the direct lineage of Chiyuan Xianren..."

The Main Priest saw the snow-capped mountains and the Dahai; while gasping in cold air, he also heard Su Ping's reminder, allowing him to speak freely.

The Main Priest had originally wanted to warn this prodigy.

Do not underestimate the Secret Technique of their Blood God Sect; they indeed did not have as many prodigies to compete with the great Immortal Sects, but those who had survived in the cracks for so many years all possessed various strange Secret Techniques.

Unless it was a special hidden place, don't think about deceiving the Blood God... eh?

The Main Priest habitually recited the Blood God Prayer silently.

Immediately, his pupils dilated all at once.

He discovered in a panic that, at this very moment, the source of the Blood God faith, which he had always been able to faintly connect to, had actually been completely and thoroughly severed!

This is a Blood God Secret Technique that can maintain connection even in other Cave Heaven and Blessed Lands or small Secret Realms!

Why, then, is it severed here?

And severed so thoroughly that there isn't even the slightest bit of sensation left.

It is as if the Blood God faith no longer exists.

The expression of the Main Priest as he looked at Su Ping changed completely.

The many little schemes in his heart also quickly faded away.

He knew very well that a heaven-gifted talent with such a background—let alone himself, even if the entire Blood God Sect were tied together... it would still be someone they could not afford to offend!

Therefore, my beloved Sect Leader, and those detestable colleagues of mine.

Do not blame me; who told this Central Region to still be a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers reside?

The Main Priest calls himself Yuan Mu; he is now one hundred and fifty years old and is a Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage cultivator.

While proficient in the Paper Person Secret Technique, he is also an Artifact Refiner and a Talisman master.

From his mouth.

Su Ping finally gained an understanding of Nanhuang beyond what was in books.

He also learned to some extent why so many large and small Nanhuang sects came running over as soon as the Chiyuan Immortal Sect began to contract its influence.

There is no help for it; Nanhuang has its own hardships too!

The Evil Spirits brought by the Evil Qi Tide over there are not as significant, but there are Demon Beasts causing chaos, and the Demonic Path runs rampant, wiping out entire families at the slightest provocation.

Added to this, those of them in the Incense Divine Path have developed, and in the process of development, they have constantly split into various sects.

This has caused a massive population crisis in Nanhuang over the past hundred years.

To put it in plain terms... there are more and more cultivators following the Side-Door Path.

There are no longer enough mortals to go around!
