Chapter 1281: Tianmao, The Dagger Revealed

He Pingsheng did not hesitate; after handing over the precious sword, he immediately transformed into a streak of light and departed.

After flying for a period of time, he once again deployed the Void Immortal Ship, using the 【Void Space Technique】 to fold and compress space.

In this way, his flight speed was greatly increased.

In less than half an hour, He Pingsheng had returned to the side of the Beimian Great Wall!

Upon arriving at the Great Wall, he first verified his identity with the patrolling Profound Immortals at the watchtower before entering Beimian Immortal City.

After arriving at Beimian Immortal City, his first priority was naturally to see Li Tianxin.

"Heavens, thank goodness you're alright!"

Upon seeing He Pingsheng, Li Tianxin let out a deep sigh of relief and said, "You brat, why have you been gone for so long?"

"It's been nearly eight hundred years, hasn't it?"

He Pingsheng cupped his hands and said, "Replying to Master, it has been seven hundred and eighty years!"

"Oh, oh, oh..." Li Tianxin looked at He Pingsheng and said, "You brat, has your cultivation broken through again?"

"Hiss, hiss, hiss, you're already at the eleventh layer of the Profound Immortal Stage? That is truly too fast..."

"Have you encountered a bottleneck now?"

"Do you have any items to break through the bottleneck?"

She looked at him with concern.

He Pingsheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Master. This disciple already has an item to break through the bottleneck, but I do not intend to use it. I plan to see if I can break through this eleventh-layer bottleneck period with my own fortuitous encounter first!"

Li Tianxin said, "That is also fine..."

"Oh... right!" Looking at He Pingsheng, Li Tianxin suddenly remembered something and said, "Your Grandmaster told me before that if you came out, I should notify him immediately!"

"He has something to say to you!"

"Grandmaster?" He Pingsheng frowned; for a moment, he actually couldn't recall who this Grandmaster was.

What kind of Grandmaster?

Li Tianxin asked again, "Is it convenient for you?"

He Pingsheng then slowly realized: this Grandmaster refers to the Immortal King Tianmao.

Immortal King Tianmao?

Why does he want to see me?

Of course, since Tianmao said he wanted to see me, it wouldn't be good to refuse.

Besides, now I might not necessarily be afraid of this fellow Tianmao.

Hmm...

"Fine..." He Pingsheng agreed decisively, "Since an elder wishes to see me, there is no reason for this disciple not to meet him!"

"That's good!" Li Tianxin said, "Follow me..."

After speaking, Li Tianxin led He Pingsheng away from her dojo and arrived at another grand hall.

This hall was even more massive than the one Li Tianxin resided in.

"Is Grandmaster inside?" He Pingsheng asked.

"Hmm..." Li Tianxin said, "He only arrived not many years ago... he happens to be in seclusion inside!"

"Wait here, I shall go and request an audience!"

After Li Tianxin finished speaking, she landed in front of the hall and respectfully cupped her hands, saying, "Disciple Li Tianxin, accompanied by He Pingsheng, has come to request an audience with Grandmaster!"

Soon, a lazy voice came from inside: "Wu... let He Pingsheng... come in by himself!"

He Pingsheng muttered to himself: Good fellow, others have to address him with honorifics, yet this guy doesn't even avoid it himself?

While pondering, He Pingsheng walked toward the hall. Because he lacked Li Tianxin's company, for the sake of safety, He Pingsheng secretly took out a jade-green immortal talisman from his ring and activated it without a sound.

This immortal talisman was a sixth-tier immortal talisman named: Jianmu Immortal Talisman.

It was the defensive immortal talisman he had previously obtained from Ming Riyue, which had been strengthened by the Treasure Basin.

Once activated, this item could form an invisible barrier on the surface of the body.

It was formless and shadowless, invisible to the naked eye.

However, any attack passing through this barrier would have its attack power directly weakened by ninety percent.

So, after activating this immortal talisman, He Pingsheng felt more confident.

At the very least, he wasn't afraid of this big rooster launching a sneak attack, right?

"Disciple He Pingsheng, pays respects to Grandmaster!"

After entering the hall, He Pingsheng didn't even lift his head, directly bowing and cupping his hands.

Of course, he didn't want to kneel.

"You're bowing in the wrong place!" A familiar voice came from the left.

He Pingsheng then looked up, staring in astonishment at Immortal King Tianmao, who was sitting behind a low table on the left side of the hall.

Good fellow!

He wasn't even meditating in the center of the hall?

"Come over..." Tianmao beckoned to He Pingsheng, then pointed to another prayer mat opposite him and said, "Sit down and talk!"

He Pingsheng didn't stand on ceremony; since you told me to sit, then I will sit.

He walked to the opposite side of Tianmao and plopped down onto the prayer mat.

Looking at Tianmao, at close range, this fellow's face really looked too much like a big rooster.

The nose was sharp, and the mouth protruded slightly.

Both eyes were perfectly round, round and rolling, round to the point of being outrageous.

He Pingsheng took a deep breath and asked in a low voice, "I wonder what instructions Grandmaster has for summoning this disciple?"

Tianmao didn't play by the rules at all; he asked directly, "If I have instructions, will you listen?"

Good fellow!

Damn it...

He Pingsheng really wanted to slap himself twice right now.

Why did I have to ask that extra question?

However... as a disciple, asking such a question didn't seem like much.

It's just that this dog of a Tianmao was too cunning, directly asking me if I would listen?

Hmm... this question is not easy to answer.

He Pingsheng pondered slightly and said, "I will... as long as it is something this disciple can do, this disciple will definitely listen!"

Tianmao asked again, "Then if it is something you cannot do, will you listen?"

He Pingsheng wanted to hit someone now: Damn it, he's relying on his high cultivation and high seniority to act like a hooligan using his status as an elder!

"Grandmaster, if this disciple cannot do it, listening is useless!"

"That is also true... hehehe..." After giving He Pingsheng two warnings, Tianmao finally smiled and said, "Some time ago... to be precise, I chased that Han Houzhi for several hundred years..."

"You should be familiar with Han Houzhi, right?"

He Pingsheng instantly became interested: "It's alright, did Grandmaster find him?"

"Hmm!" Immortal King Tianmao said, "This fellow is slippery; I found him several times, but ultimately failed to take him down. He has already entered the Golden Immortal Stage!"

"Coupled with his ability to fight across ranks, although I am not afraid of him, I can do nothing to him either!"

"However, you must be careful if you see him in the future!"

"Yes!" He Pingsheng looked excited: Good fellow... chased by Tianmao for several hundred years, Han Houzhi must have suffered quite a bit.

Hehehe...

Now you know the consequences of offending your grandfather, right?

"As for Han Houzhi's treasures, I have no hope in this lifetime!" Tianmao looked at He Pingsheng and said calmly, "However... Han Houzhi told me that you must also have a treasure on you no less than his Purple Gold Bottle!"

"Is he right?"

Tianmao's two round eyes stared fixedly at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng's expression was calm, but inside he cursed Han Houzhi eighteen times: "Hehehe... Grandmaster, that Han Houzhi is talking nonsense!"

"He must be holding a grudge because I exposed his secret, so he came to frame me!"

However, Tianmao didn't waste any words, just looked at He Pingsheng calmly and said, "You only have two choices!"

"First, hand over the treasure, and from now on, in this Tianmao Star System, I will cover you!"

"Second, I will beat you to death, and then search for the treasure myself!" ===== CHAPTER 1282 =====
