Chapter 437: Slashing the Dragon Abyss

He Pingsheng's expression darkened visibly.

Just now thinking of risk, he naturally recalled his ability to be reborn.

Thinking of rebirth, he thought of that Yin-to-Yang Immortal Talisman.

But the problem is, he had two of them.

Originally, he planned to give the second one to Qiao Huizhu, but recently, when he went to the Free and Easy Immortal Sect, he first doted on Sister Qiao, then became fixated on cultivating the 【Heavenly Gang Three Transformations】 technique and rescuing his Master.

He'd forgotten to give her the Immortal Talisman.

Damn it, damn it!

This time, Sister Qiao went out alone—if she encounters no danger, fine; but if she does, then what…?

A wave of guilt suddenly rose in He Pingsheng's heart.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Lan asked. "He Daofriend, is something troubling you?"

His earlier words, "It's ruined," had genuinely startled her.

"Nothing!" He Pingsheng shook his head, then exhaled deeply.

Sister Qiao is a Great Nascent Soul, with formidable combat strength, a great destiny tied to the Eighth or Ninth Tribulation, possesses a Heaven-grade technique and the 【Ice Plain Divine Dew】 to replenish spiritual energy, and crucially, her spiritual sense is nearly equal to mine.

She also cultivates the 【Purple Mansion Nine Shields Method】.

There shouldn't be a problem.

I hope there isn't a problem.

He Pingsheng considered left and right, realized his worry was unnecessary, and his mood lifted slightly.

"Where were we?" He Pingsheng asked.

Jiang Lan sent a spiritual sense message: "We were discussing magic treasures. Do you have any space-type magic treasures? If you do, I hope you can take me inside—it would let me communicate with you anytime and perhaps aid you!"

"If you don't, I have one myself!"

"No need!" He Pingsheng said. "I have one!"

He pulled out a bead: the Great Freedom Bead!

He owned two: one to house Xiao Fenghuang Tingtong, the other left empty.

Jiang Lan turned and stepped directly into the Great Freedom Bead.

"What a vast world—this bead is excellent!" Jiang Lan's spiritual sense could pierce through the Great Freedom Bead and communicate with He Pingsheng.

If He Pingsheng wished, he could let a thread of her spiritual sense out, letting her sense the outside world.

"He Daofriend, the critical next step is impersonating Long Yuan!" Jiang Lan's spiritual sense conveyed: "In my plan, you're supposed to kill Long Yuan… don't tell me you can't!"

"Don't worry."

He Pingsheng smiled coldly: "You'll see soon enough."

Saying this, he left the private room of the spirit tea house and walked steadily toward Long Yuan's residence.

At this moment, He Pingsheng also used the Brocade Silk Divine Robe to casually alter his appearance.

Long Yuan would never recognize him.

A hundred li from Long Yuan's residence, He Pingsheng stopped.

There was no need to go further.

In a single thought, he could survey Long Yuan's residence.

Time passed slowly.

He Pingsheng's spiritual sense continuously circled around Long Yuan's residence.

During this time, he saw Long Yuan leave his mansion three times and return three times.

He Pingsheng dared not act rashly.

He did not directly scan the mansion with his spiritual sense.

He feared triggering some array.

Just wait for now!

May 30th.

After Long Yuan returned home through the main gate, He Pingsheng drifted to the western gate of Long Yuan's mansion.

At this moment, he had already transformed into Long Yuan's exact appearance.

Since Long Yuan entered through the main gate and He Pingsheng entered through the western gate, the guards had no idea two Long Yuans had entered the mansion.

"Master…"

The gate guards were two Foundation Establishment disciples.

He Pingsheng stood with his hands behind his back, mimicking Long Yuan's nod, said nothing, and walked straight into the mansion.

"Go forward!"

"Turn left!"

"Keep going!"

"Behind the sixth building is a wide path!"

"Yes… ahead lies Long Yuan's grand hall!"

Jiang Lan, through meticulous investigation, knew Long Yuan's mansion inside and out.

Inside the Great Freedom Bead, her spiritual sense could scan and observe the outside world.

Soon, He Pingsheng arrived outside Long Yuan's grand hall.

Boom…

At this moment, He Pingsheng no longer held back—he unleashed a massive spiritual sense directly into the hall.

The hall had no defensive array, for this was the imperial capital, where no one would dare attack casually.

But it bore a thin 【Spirit-Sealing Array】.

Third-rank.

But it didn't matter.

A third-rank Spirit-Sealing Array couldn't stop He Pingsheng from entering the hall.

Hum…

The next instant, his body instantly teleported from outside the hall into the hall itself.

The grand hall was empty, save for Long Yuan alone.

At this moment, he was preparing for tomorrow's imperial lecture, and when he suddenly saw a man identical to himself appear, Long Yuan was startled.

"Who are you?"

"Guards!"

Long Yuan instinctively shouted.

But He Pingsheng merely smiled coldly: "Don't bother—this place is sealed."

Hearing He Pingsheng's voice, Long Yuan turned pale with terror and instantly tried to teleport away.

But he failed.

For within the hall, the spatial laws seemed disturbed by an extraordinarily refined spatial Dao technique.

Correct!

It was He Pingsheng's doing.

He had listened to the Dao for twenty-seven years on Nianshan, mastering only spatial Dao techniques, then refined them for over a decade using the Alchemy Heavenly Stele—his mastery of spatial laws might not be supreme, but sealing Long Yuan's teleportation was easy.

Boom…

The next instant, a spiritual sense nail shot from He Pingsheng's mind-sea and slammed into Long Yuan's mind-sea.

Long Yuan's face changed—half his mind-sea was already destroyed.

He nearly spat blood: Again?

Can't you use something else?

I've had my spiritual sense torn apart three times already!

"Help…" Long Yuan tried to cry out, but the next instant, He Pingsheng yanked him into another space.

The Great Freedom Bead.

Normally, the Great Freedom Bead couldn't forcibly bring others in—they had to consent.

But now, Long Yuan's spiritual sense was shattered, so he couldn't resist.

Forcing him in was possible.

"Where is this?"

"What are you doing?"

Long Yuan stared in shock at the two figures before him.

He Pingsheng and Jiang Lan.

He Pingsheng gave a cold smile: "All you did in the past nearly killed me multiple times—you captured my Master and Senior Sister… tell me, what will I do?"

"He Pingsheng!" Long Yuan said. "Let's talk reasonably—you know deep down this wasn't my doing. It was all the Imperial Family's plan!"

"It was all the Imperial Family's idea!"

"I'm merely their hound!"

"Correct!" He Pingsheng said. "Same thing—the mastermind dies, and the hound dies too!"

A black spiritual spear appeared in He Pingsheng's hand.

Long Yuan's face turned ashen—he tried to speak, but the next instant, he saw a black shadow flash before his eyes.

Then, the blood rain came.

One strike severed Dragon Abyss.
