This Was Showing Weakness to the Enemy!
"..."
Upon seeing this, all the Earth Immortal were speechless.
After he came to his senses...
He almost burst out laughing.
Anyone who saw the mighty general arrive with such imposing aura, only to be utterly defeated in a single move, would inevitably burst into laughter.
"Turns out he's just a Bungling Divine General!"
The Three Kings of Baoxiang were the most Zhang Yang, and they laughed so hard they almost bent over.
Not just demons.
The Two Dragon-Sealing Elders and his companion, exchanged a glance, barely suppressing their laughter, and secretly transmitted their voices, saying, "I wonder what connections this young divine general has made. He's merely a first -Earth Immortal, yet he holds the position of Thunder Ministry Divine General. He looks down on everyone. Now we've truly witnessed his prowess."
Some people mocked and ridiculed them.
However, some people felt a sudden sinking feeling in their hearts.
"The Spirit-Capturing Great General".
"He is the Spirit-Capturing Great General of the Heaven-Watching Marshal's Manor who entered the battle alongside the Eastern Ancestor."
"He's just a newly promoted Earth Immortal, yet he dares to challenge Qin Zhen in a magical duel?!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Purple-Brow Daoist and Wu Ping immediately recognized him as the "Spirit-Capturing Great General" mentioned by the old ancestor "Eastern God-Seeking General" who was recuperating from his injuries in the mountain sect.
The background is significant.
His cultivation level is lacking, and he's a first-rate playboy with a knack for causing trouble.
Before going into seclusion, the Eastern God-Seeking General specifically instructed them to be careful. If they encountered him, they should treat him with care, but be careful not to be led astray.
I initially thought the old man was exaggerating.
But what I see now—
"More trouble than they're worth!"
"He really is a spoiled brat!"
Purple-Brow Daoist felt a surge of resentment.
It was clear that the Nine Fiends Hall and the Two-Dragon Ridge were about to make their move. Other Earth Immortal present might also join the attack, potentially forming a united front to kill Qin Zhen.
This 'Spirit-Capturing Great General' just happened to appear at this moment.
They ruined a promising situation.
The fox borrows the tiger's power.
This caused the Earth Immortal, such as those from the Nine Fiends Hall and the Two-Dragon Ridge, who were originally about to take action, to revert to a wait-and-see attitude.
Furthermore, he rashly attacked Qin Zhen and was defeated in one move, losing face for the Heavenly Court and the Thunder Ministry.
As a result, Green Pine Abbey also lost face.
Unaware of the true extent of the problem!
Overestimating your abilities!
How could the Purple-Brow Daoist not hate him?!
Not just the Purple-Brow Daoist.
The Divine Ruins Dragon King, who was entangled with Gongsun Qi, gritted his teeth and was secretly annoyed when he saw the young general's incompetent appearance. "Why did the Thunder Ministry send such a piece of trash to deal with Immortal Qin?"
I was both annoyed and suspicious.
Thinking about how he had just been ordered around by such people, his face flushed even more.
"Well done, Qin Zhen!"
Lu Qingfeng didn't care about any of that.
He had just examined the Son of Heaven Sword from all angles, even analyzing its forging method, all while in his guise as the 'King Zhurong'.
I understand—
The Son of Heaven Sword is powerful.
It is not only a fourth-order Immortal Artifact, but also possesses the power of Immortal Qin.
Its power is extremely formidable!
Without using the Five-Colored Divine Light, let alone him, even if Celestial Immortal being were to appear before him, Qin Zhen wielding the Son of Heaven Sword would not necessarily be inferior.
However, Qin Zhen himself—
"Fine."
"Only Earth Immortal."
Lu Qingfeng stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Looking at Qin Zhen, he feigned a gloomy expression. "Stubborn fool!"
In the end, they knew what was good for them.
Instead of going forward to invite trouble, he took the 'Thunder God Whip' and went to Meng Jian, who was entangled in a fight with Wu Ping.
"Take this from my Thunder God Whip!"
With a sudden lash, he was about to smash the whip down on the forehead of the Immortal Qin.
"He got angry out of embarrassment!"
Everyone laughed when they saw this.
Meng Jian's heart tightened when he saw the young divine general attack. Before he could even parry, a flash of cold light appeared—
Bang!
The young god was sent flying backward at an even faster speed.
"Puff!"
Lu Qingfeng steadied himself, then spat out another mouthful of blood.
Look up.
Qin Zhen stood behind Meng Jian, the Son of Heaven Sword just being sheathed in his hand.
"Okay, okay!"
"Let's part ways for now. When the two marshals arrive, I'll see how you display your power!"
Lu Qingfeng's face turned from blue to purple, and he laughed in extreme anger.
But when he got angry and said too much, he suddenly spat out a large bowl of blood from his heart.
It looked both ridiculous and pathetic.
He could see that everyone around him was laughing at him.
I won't say any more.
If we don't take action soon...
He glared at Qin Zhen fiercely, then turned and headed into the depths of the Divine Ruins Sea.
After the person left.
Then a voice rang out. "Aren't you three leaving yet? Haven't you embarrassed yourselves enough?!"
This was directed at the Purple-Brow Daoist, Wu Ping, and the Divine Ruins Dragon King.
In words.
His shame and anger were palpable.
"..."
These words were spoken.
This startled the three people, including the Purple-Brow Daoist, who were fighting amongst themselves.
To be honest, there was no anger involved. In fact, looking at this young general, who seemed to have a rather 'frank' nature, one couldn't help but feel a bit of goodwill towards him.
Only--
"Shameful?"
The three of them felt puzzled. "I wonder who's making a fool of themselves!"
But I also know that the situation is not right now.
Especially the Divine Ruins Dragon King.
Concerned about the celestial soldiers of the Thunder Ministry, there are still many questions.
He didn't linger in the fight at all. He broke Gongsun Qi and jumped out of the battle circle. He wanted to leave a message, but then he remembered that the Spirit-Capturing Great General had made a lot of threats but was actually cowardly and ended up looking pathetic and ridiculous.
He immediately swallowed his words.
He remained silent.
They went straight after the Spirit-Capturing Great General.
"Let's fight again another day!"
Purple-Brow Daoist and Wu Ping followed closely behind, also ceasing their battle and returning to the Divine Ruins Sea.
The birth of Demon Child caused a gathering of Earth Immortal.
A dispute.
It began in a comical way and ended in a farce.
It started strong but ended weakly.
The audience gained nothing but two laughs!
Divine Ruins Sea.
Nameless deserted island.
Nameless, desolate mountain.
The Divine Ruins Dragon King, the Purple-Brow Daoist, and Wu Ping caught up and saw that the young divine general had already changed into a Daoist robe, with his hands behind his back, looking quite like an immortal.
The three of them were taken aback.
I couldn't see through it immediately.
But the general smiled warmly, like a spring breeze, showing no trace of the disheveled state he had displayed a moment ago when he stormed off in a huff. He first greeted the three men before saying, "I owe my utmost gratitude to the three of you for stopping Qin Zhen's subordinates, which allowed me to test Qin Zhen's strength and calmly feign weakness."
"Testing?"
"To feign weakness?"
"Still 'calmly' feigning weakness to the enemy?!"
The three of them listened.
The young general appeared calm and composed, seemingly in control of his strategy. If it weren't for the elixir energy still emanating from him, he would have been seriously injured and had taken the elixir to recuperate.
The three of them were almost fooled.
"What an incompetent fool!"
Suppressing his disgust, the Divine Ruins Dragon King smiled and said, "General, you are too kind. This is my duty. I just wonder when the two marshals will send troops to wipe out this Immortal Qin?"
Upon hearing this,
"Not good!"
The Purple-Brow Daoist and Wu Ping, forgetting to laugh at Lu Qingfeng, both froze.
"Huh~"
Lu Qingfeng feigned surprise and looked at the Divine Ruins Dragon King: "Brother Dragon, you don't know?!"
He seemed to realize something immediately.
"Turn out to be--"
He hurriedly turned to look at the Purple-Brow Daoist and Wu Ping, his eyes wide open, his face showing just the right amount of apology, but also a hint of doubt.
"Hot item!"
The latter two cursed inwardly.
It was clear that, in the eyes of the Divine Ruins Dragon King, Wu Ping, even though he was embarrassed, still had to pretend that nothing was wrong and said in a deep voice, "The reason I went to the Divine Ruins Dragon Palace to find my fellow Daoist was not only to contact him to fight against the Immortal Qin, but also to explain this matter."
The Purple-Brow Daoist observes his nose and his heart.
Adopting a serious expression.
He had already cursed Lu Qingfeng to the point of utter depravity in his heart.
They learned about the situation beyond the heavens from the Eastern God-Seeking General, and they knew that the situation was not good.
However, this was partly to cover up the news of the Eastern God-Seeking General's serious injury, so as to avoid threatening the Eastern God-Seeking General's safety.
Secondly, there was also the concern that if the cultivators in the Starsea Realm learned of the changes in the outer heavens, it would cause unrest.
Leaving aside other matters.
If those wandering, unsettled Rogue Cultivator were to find out—
The Thunder Ministry dispatched a divine general, but he was severely injured by Immortal Qin.
The Starsea Realm has been banished, and it is currently unknown when the heavenly soldiers and generals will descend.
So.
The number of Rogue Cultivator who came to seek refuge at Green Pine Abbey will surely shrink by more than half.
Not just Rogue Cultivator.
Even those Earth Immortal who are observing, including the Divine Ruins Dragon King, are hard to say what thoughts they will have and what choices they will make.
So.
In order to control the situation.
The two consulted with the Eastern God-Seeking General before deciding to postpone the matter for the time being.
Keep this news a secret.
Even the Divine Ruins Dragon King and other immortal sects decided not to tell them yet.
Who would have thought—
Lu Qingfeng suddenly appeared.
One sentence dropped a bombshell.
This put the two of them in an awkward situation.
As Wu Ping recounted and explained, the Divine Ruins Dragon King's expression remained unchanged, but his tone of voice cooled down at a visible speed.
"Brother Long, please don't take it to heart."
"I suppose the two Daoist brothers from Green Pine Abbey did not intend to conceal this."
Lu Qingfeng's sincere expression added fuel to the fire.
Regardless of how much Purple-Brow Daoist and Wu Ping Xin cursed him, and regardless of what the Divine Ruins Dragon King was thinking at the moment, he only said to himself, "I just tested him, and Qin Zhen's strength is indeed not weak, and the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand is even more powerful. We cannot act rashly. Right now, it is best to contact other like-minded people."
You're not coming.
That's what we did too!
It's almost successful!!!
Wu Ping cursed inwardly, but still agreed verbally. He then pinched his nose and suggested, "Besides our fellow cultivators from the Immortal and Divine Ministries, there are quite a few powerful demons at the Earth Immortal level in the Divine Ruins Sea and Ruins Continent. At this time, I think we can make some contact with them."
The power of the Immortal Dao in the Divine Ruins Sea is not strong.
Only by joining forces with the powerful Earth Immortal can we withstand the offensive of the Immortal Qin.
"Most of those powerful demons are of average strength."
"And they are all cunning and selfish."
"Contacting them might not only be of no use, but could also harm us."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head, disagreeing.
Commonplace?
Who do you think you are to talk about others?
Where did you get the nerve?!
Wu Ping's heart clenched; he was so angry he felt his lungs would explode. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm and said, "These powerful demons may be selfish, but if we reason with them and offer them benefits—"
"That doesn't make sense."
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand. "With the two marshals in command, we will be able to pinpoint the location of the Starsea Realm in no time. If we collude with these great demons, we will bear a heavy responsibility if others find out in the future."
Wu Ping wanted to say more.
But the young general said calmly, "Listen to me."
Wu Ping and the Purple-Brow Daoist exchanged a glance and wisely refrained from saying anything more.
If the Spirit-Capturing Great General Disagrees, they can make the contact themselves.
After learning about the events of three years ago and the current situation, the Divine Ruins Dragon King remained silent.
To be discussed and agreed upon.
"Farewell!"
"I'll go first!"
He then bid farewell to the three and returned to the Divine Ruins Dragon Palace.
"Oh no!"
Purple-Brow Daoist and Wu Ping inwardly groaned and looked at Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng didn't seem to care much. He pretended to ponder the situation, and after a long while, he said earnestly, "After you two return to your sect, you must train your troops well and make sure to stop Immortal Qin Divine Ruins Sea."
"Don't worry, General!"
Neither of them wanted to stay a moment longer or say a word more.
After agreeing.
The Purple-Brow Daoist politely inquired of Lu Qingfeng, "General, do you have a place to stay? If not, why not stay at Violet Lightning Mountain for a few days?"
"It is my wish, but I dare not ask!"
Lu Qingfeng was overjoyed upon hearing this.
He responded loudly.
"..."
The Purple-Brow Daoist paused for a moment, also quite pleased, and gestured with his hand, saying, "General, please."
He immediately regretted it, turned around, and led the way.
