The Black-and-White True Persons

"With the Pavilion Master's strength, why would he need my protection?"

Sikong Qinglian was unwilling to be Lu Qingfeng's free henchman and shook her head.

"Your Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, can be exchanged for the Forty-Two Stone Pillars in my possession," Lu Qingfeng said, pointing to the whisk in Sikong Qinglian's hand.

Forty-two years.

"Forty-Two Stone Pillars, this humble Daoist has protected the Pavilion Master for forty-two years, how about that?"

Sikong Qinglian had one hand behind his back, with his whisk hidden behind him.

The Hundred-Sword Diagram is indeed important, but the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, is her most powerful magical Law Artifact. If she were to give it to Lu Qingfeng, her strength would immediately drop by 70%. How could Sikong Qinglian possibly agree to give it before the Hundred-Sword Diagram is even completed?

Moreover, Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles is not only a sixth-order Law Artifact, but also involves a great fortuitous opportunity the sect, so it is impossible for him to make a move.

In this way.

The only option was to agree to Lu Qingfeng's first request.

It's just a matter of providing support.

"Forty-two years?"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

Forty-two years is too short.

"How long do you think is appropriate, Pavilion Master?" Sikong Qinglian asked upon seeing this.

Five years.

Lu Qingfeng spread his five fingers and said, "Senior, please protect me. I will receive a stone pillar every five years. During this period, I will be in charge and obey your commands."

"Two hundred years is too long."

Sikong Qinglian frowned. "At most a hundred years, and I will only obey reasonable orders. If it is to send someone to their death, I will not obey."

Two hundred and ten years.

"Not a single year less."

"If you feel it's inappropriate, you're free to refuse."

Lu Qingfeng refused to budge an inch.

The initiative was in his hands; how could Sikong Qinglian possibly bargain?

Furthermore,

He felt that two hundred years was a bit short.

Although advancing to the Core Formation is not a problem in this life, it is only at the Void Core stage.

Without a fortuitous encounter, it would be difficult to break through to the Solid Core Realm in a short period of time, and he would still not be considered one of the top talents in the Core Formation Stage.

It would be good to have more time to manage Sikong Qinglian.

Sikong Qinglian possesses considerable strength, already approaching the Realm of True Core. Combined with the sixth-tier Law Artifact Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, she could even contend with a True Person at the Spell Gathering Realm.

Given his current lack of strength to kill Sikong Qinglian, if he could recruit her, Lu Qingfeng wouldn't be left all alone to fight against sects or other rogue cultivators.

He also kept Sikong Qinglian by his side, intending to kill her when he was strong enough to avenge the attack.

"Good."

"Swear Heart-Demon Blood Oath."

Seeing Lu Qingfeng's firm stance, Sikong Qinglian immediately agreed. Exchanging two hundred years for a complete Unorthodox-Grade Cultivation Method was a sure win. Having Heart-Demon Blood Oath, she had no worries about Lu Qingfeng breaking his promise.

The advantages and disadvantages are clear.

Lu Qingfeng and Sikong Qinglian were scrambling for treasure and trading underground on the deserted island.

Beyond the deserted island.

A verdant, cloud-like celestial seat vanished into the sky at an extremely fast speed.

On the Green Cloud Immortal Mat, two people stood side by side. One was dressed in a black robe and had an ugly face. The other was a woman, dressed in a white palace dress, and was in her prime.

If Sikong Qinglian were here, she would surely recognize these two as the "Black-and-White True Persons" True Person Lei Yi and Green Cloud True Person, who are known as the "Black and White True Men" of the Five Peaks Sect.

Green Cloud True Person, a woman, looked into the distance at the sky, her beautiful eyes sparkling. "It is the energy of Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles. The Demoness Sikong has actually come to my Five Peaks Sect and even clashed with people."

"Sneaky behavior is never a good thing."

"True Person Lei Yi roared."

"The Bamboo Mountain Immortal Mansion is about to open. If we can capture Sikong Qinglian and seize the Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles in her hand, our Five Peaks Sect will have one more spot, and we will have a greater advantage in the Immortal Mansion."

Green Cloud True Person raised his hand and sent out a beam of Radiance, which disappeared into the air. "I have already sent the situation here back to the sect. The two of us will go first and hold off the demoness Sikong."

"This method is feasible."

True Person Lei Yi nodded in agreement.

The green jade fairy mat beneath his feet moved even faster.

In the blink of an eye, they covered a thousand miles and arrived above the deserted island. Before they even landed, two figures emerged from the thin mist of the island, a man and a woman.

It was Lu Qingfeng and Sikong Qinglian.

After the two made Heart-Demon Blood Oath in the cave abode, they immediately withdrew.

As soon as it came out, it bumped into two people in the sky.

"Black-and-White True Persons?"

Lu Qingfeng looked up and saw the green clouds, and then saw two Core Formation True Person, one in black and one in white, on the green clouds. He immediately recognized their identities.

Five Peaks Sect!

Black-and-White True Persons.

It is said that the two True Person men were ugly and the woman was beautiful. They were inseparable and had a great reputation.

"The battle just now was too loud."

"Hurry up and go."

Sikong Qinglian transmitted her voice.

Lu Qingfeng expressed his opinion.

The Five Peaks Sect cultivates the "True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks," and excels at fighting with fewer troops and engaging in protracted battles. Once entangled, it becomes difficult for the two to escape once other True Person of the Five Peaks Sect arrive.

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, and the Great Geng Sword Formation enveloped his body before rushing off the deserted island.

Sikong Qinglian darted forward, flicking her whisk, and silver light transformed into the Celestial River that soared into the sky, intending to block the Black-and-White True Persons.

"Senior brother, I'll deal with Sikong the demoness. You go and capture the other one."

"It's Green Cloud Immortal!" Green Cloud True Person said crisply.

"Good."

As soon as True Person Lei Yi responded, he had already moved. With a slip of his foot, he reached the edge of the island. He then saw the blue-robed cultivator rush to the edge of the deserted island and plunge into the sea.

Disappeared.

True Person Lei Yi channeled his True Essence into his eyes and saw what appeared to be Black Dragon and green pythons playing in the water, which then vanished in an instant.

True Person Lei Yi was dumbfounded.

He was not skilled in water magic, and when he entered the water, he suddenly lost all his vital energy.

Helpless, True Person Lei Yi returned to heaven.

"Senior brother?"

Green Cloud True Person was activating the Green Cloud Immortal Mat when he suddenly saw True Person Lei Yi return so quickly, and a questioning look appeared in his eyes.

True Person Lei Yi's ugly face showed a hint of embarrassment. "That person's water skills are profound. He escaped into the sea."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Green Cloud True Person looked in the direction the person had fled, but there was indeed no trace of him.

"Let's capture Sikong Qinglian first."

True Person Lei Yi changed the subject to ease the awkwardness.

With a wave of his hand, he sent a True Essence into the Green Cloud Immortal Mat.

The Green Cloud True Person Green Cloud Immortal Mat, which was meant to defend against the Silver Light Celestial River, suddenly opened, revealing the majestic Five Sacred Mountains within. The Five Peaks Divine Edge, pressing down upon Sikong Qinglian.

"The True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks!"

Sikong Qinglian recognized the Five Peaks Divine Edge immediately upon seeing them.

The Black-and-White True Persons, having jointly refined the True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks using the Green Cloud Immortal Mat, were both on the verge of reaching the Core Formation stage, and their fame had long been established. Sikong Qinglian dared not entangle herself with them.

With a flick of his whisk, countless silver lights withstood the Five Peaks Divine Edge. His figure soared through the air, his feet treading on mysterious light as he rushed towards the edge of the deserted island.

"Where do you think you're going!"

True Person Lei Yi and Green Cloud True Person activated the Green Cloud Immortal Mat, and the True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks was used to suppress it.

However, the True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks is indeed powerful, but unfortunately, the Green Cloud Immortal Mat is of limited quality, and it is really difficult to break through it in a short time when facing Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles.

In addition, Sikong Qinglian was determined to leave.

The two were powerless to stop it.

Once Sikong Qinglian disappeared into the Heaven-Soaring, the Silver Celestial River Light, which had been contending with and even subtly gaining the upper hand against the Green Cloud Immortal Mat, vanished into streams of light and returned to Sikong Qinglian's hands.

"Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles!"

"One of the Seven Treasures of Bamboo Mountain has actually fallen into the hands of this vixen! What good luck!"

Seeing Sikong Qinglian leave, Green Cloud True Person felt a surge of resentment. Without this Law Artifact, how could Sikong Qinglian possibly be a match for the Black-and-White True Persons Men?

True Person Lei Yi became even more agitated and insisted on chasing after him.

"With Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, even if we catch up, she will still escape."

"Don't chase after them anymore."

Green Cloud True Person shook his head, looked down at the deserted island, and said to True Person Lei Yi, "Just now, someone was fighting with the demoness Sikong here. The green-robed cultivator who escaped came out with the demoness Sikong, so the person fighting should not be him."

"Junior sister, do you mean there's a third person here?"

True Person Lei Yi frowned.

"Even if there was a third person, they either escaped or died."

Green Cloud True Person shook his head and descended towards the deserted island with True Person Lei Yi to investigate what mysteries lay below. As soon as they landed, he suddenly asked, "Senior Brother, did you see clearly who that person was? Among the thirteen Core Formation on Yu Yushan Island, there doesn't seem to be such a handsome young cultivator."

True Person Lei Yi waved his sleeve, and the clouds in the sky gathered, revealing a cultivator in green robes.

His face was resolute yet handsome.

"This person—"

Green Cloud True Person and True Person Lei Yi exchanged a glance. "Rain Mountain Pavilion!"

Hundreds of miles away from the deserted island.

A demon god with a python's head and a human body, covered in black scales, riding Black Dragon, and with a green python wrapped around his hand, burst out of the sea and crashed into the air, revealing Lu Qingfeng's figure.

"The Ancestral God of Water— Gonggong Demon God!"

Lu Qingfeng smiled.

The seas are vast and numerous, far exceeding the number of islands. Those who cultivate to the Spirit Void Stage visualize the Gonggong Demon God waters. They roam freely in the waters, even Core Formation True Person unfamiliar with water magic must yield to their power.

Just True Person Lei Yi.

"The escape techniques of the Rain Mountain Pavilion are truly remarkable."

As we soared through the air, a clear, cold sound reached our ears.

Lu Qingfeng didn't turn around, he just smiled and said, "Likewise."

Sikong Qinglian gave a soft snort.

Lu Qingfeng left so decisively that she didn't even have time to react, and she was almost held back by the combined efforts of the Black-and-White True Persons. Fortunately, Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles was powerful, and seeing the situation was unfavorable, she decisively left.

Seemingly ignoring Sikong Qinglian's cold snort, Lu Qingfeng asked curiously, "These two True Immortals of the Five Peaks Sect, Black-and-White True Persons, are both at the True Core stage. I've heard that they are inseparable, like two sides of the same coin. I wonder how they compare to Senior Sikong?"

Although Lu Qingfeng has made friends from all walks of life over the years, he is limited by his own cultivation level and knows very little about the True Person level experts in the Bamboo Mountain Sea.

Having witnessed Sikong Qinglian's strength today, and having also encountered the Black-and-White True Persons, I might as well ask them to be aware of their true nature in the future.

"One person cannot cultivate the True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks alone; it takes two people to cultivate it together. How powerful can it be?"

Sikong Qinglian said calmly.

"Senior Sikong is indeed amazing."

Lu Qingfeng understood the implied meaning.

She was so dismissive of Black-and-White True Persons not as good as Sikong Qinglian.

In this way, Lu Qingfeng also gained an understanding of the Black-and-White True Persons.

With the help of Gengjia Celestial Radiance Needles, Sikong Qinglian could even fight against True Person at the Spell Gathering Realm. Both Black-and-White True Persons were True Core True Person Realm, and their combined refinement of the True Form Diagram of the Five Peaks made them stronger than one, making them among the best at the Solid Core Realm.

That's all the skill is capable of; it's nothing to worry about.
