Southern Region of Yun Province.
As the morning sun shines brightly, dewdrops soak the earth, the mountains are high and the forests are lush, like sharp swords piercing the sky, and clouds and mist swirl around.
Jiang Ping gazed into the distance at the end of the thick fog, where a magnificent city rose from the ground, bathed in divine light, standing amidst the great mountains.
He paused briefly, then continued forward, heading straight for the city.
However, not long after Jiang Ping set foot in this area, streaks of light rose into the sky, blocking his path.
"Stop!"
A cold shout resounded across the land, shaking even the mountains and forests, causing the peaks to sway and Essence of All Things.
Jiang Ping stopped again, watching several figures slowly approach in front of him.
These people were quite strong, all of them were Close to the Dao Seed who had passed through the Seven-Nine Tribulation, and each of them was surrounded by Dao Light.
Who are you? What brings you here?
Leading the group was a young man in Blue Robe, exuding youthful vigor and possessing the strongest aura.
He looked Jiang Ping up and down, his eyes full of wariness.
"Oh, it's you!"
A beautiful woman arrived gracefully, and upon seeing Jiang Ping's face, she immediately showed a hint of surprise.
"Hmm? Miss Lin knows her?" The man in Blue Robe turned to the female cultivator behind him.
Lin Yao nodded, her expression strange, and said:
"This is the second innocent person I told you about. I never imagined he would escape the Giant City alive and even find his way here."
Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow.
What do you mean by escaping alive? He did it openly and honestly.
"So, this person, like Miss Lin, is also a victim who was framed by Ding Peng without cause."
The other Female Dao Seed suddenly realized what was happening and immediately gave Jiang Ping a friendly smile.
If someone is the enemy of my enemy, then he is my friend.
"So, you've also come to seek refuge with the Third Young Master?"
The Blue Robe looked at Jiang Ping, who nodded slightly.
That's right.
Jiang Ping needed two doses of the Miraculous Fate-Changing Medicine, and the best choice was naturally to find the wealthy and powerful Di San Long.
"If that's the case, then you're most welcome."
The people in Blue Robes welcomed them with smiles.
Originally, the other party would have been subject to further investigation before joining, as they were wary of being an undercover agent sent by the other two dragons.
However, given Ding Peng's actions and Lin Yao's testimony upon arrival, there was nothing to doubt.
The saying goes, "If you employ someone, don't doubt them; if you don't trust someone, don't employ them." Right now, with various Close to the Dao Seed -path cultivators competing, things are a bit turbulent, and Di San Long is short of manpower. The addition of another Close to the Dao Seed cultivator can increase their strength.
Afterwards, Jiang Ping successfully entered Third Dragon's lair and was assigned a grand mansion with flying eaves and bracket arches.
When will I be able to see Di San?
Jiang Ping didn't go in, but couldn't help asking. The Chief Clerk in the Blue Robe in charge smiled and said:
"No rush. The Third Young Master is currently discussing matters with a distinguished guest. If the discussion is successful, it will greatly benefit this competition and increase our chances of winning."
"Please wait a moment, I will introduce you to the Third Young Master."
The Blue Robe added another sentence.
He knew that all the Close to the Dao Seed who came to seek refuge wanted to get to know Di San Long and become familiar with him.
Little did he know, Jiang Ping wasn't there to make a name for himself. He was in a hurry and wanted to chat with Di San before heading to Di Er's lair.
The saying goes, "Revenge should not be delayed overnight." How could he swallow this insult after being framed by Ding Peng like this?
However, Jiang Ping was not in a hurry and entered the house to familiarize himself with his courtyard.
Soon after, a beautiful woman arrived at the door.
It was Lin Yao, she said directly:
They asked me to show you around the area.
When will I see Di San?
Jiang Ping- question surprised Lin Yao.
Are you in a hurry?
"It's urgent."
"There's no use in rushing; Di San is meeting with a distinguished guest."
How expensive?
Lin Yao: "..."
Perhaps because they were on the same side and had become partners, she wasn't as aloof as when they first met; instead, she patiently explained:
"Di San Sanjian is no ordinary person; he is an Ultimate Being!"
Those Ultimate Being are extraordinary.
Even among those Close to the Dao Seed, there are differences in strength. Some people may be called unparalleled in their localities, but when the scope is expanded, they can only be described as outstanding.
Above that are the Top-Tier Dao Seeds. At the Sixth Heaven, they can "Supreme God Riding Light," at the Seventh Heaven techniques reach their peak, and at the Eighth Heaven, they can directly undergo the Jian Dao Tribulation.
The distinguished guest that Di San is currently meeting is one such person; he possesses extremely high talent and has honed his skills for several years after undergoing the Seven-Nine Tribulations, reaching the pinnacle of his abilities.
For example, the Chief Clerk, the Blue Robes, is also a Top-Tier Dao Seed, but he has not yet passed the Seven-Nine Tribulation, so his strength is slightly inferior.
In fact, Ding Peng also belonged to the Top-Tier Dao Seed sects, but because there were many more top experts under Di Er's command, the competition was fierce. Therefore, in order to gain merit, he committed a deceitful act.
At this moment, Lin Yao seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask:
"Didn't you encounter a Close to the Dao Seed dressed in white in the Giant City?"
As far as she knew, because of Ding Peng's framing, Di Da Long dispatched five Close to the Dao Seeds under his command, the leader of whom was also a Top-Tier Dao Seed.
Although that person was in the Sixth Heaven, his strength was extremely powerful, stronger than Ding Peng, and even stronger than her Dao Seed who had undergone Seven-Nine Tribulations. Because he liked to wear white clothes, he had the reputation of White Robe Peerless.
In fact, she was able to escape from the Giant City only because she was extremely vigilant. Due to her unique skills, she received an early warning and barely managed to escape.
Otherwise, if she were to actually come face to face with that man in white, she might be in trouble.
Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow, looking surprised:
"Is that person in white very strong?"
"Nature."
Lin Yao nodded, her face solemn. "Once this person overcomes the Seven-Nine Tribulation, and after a few more years of honing his skills, becoming Ultimate Being shouldn't be a problem. He's Heavenly talent could very well reach the Peak of talent."
"It's alright, it couldn't even withstand one of my strikes."
Jiang Ping looked completely unconcerned.
When he first Spirit Wander Fifth Heaven, his Daoist skills had already reached their peak, making him comparable to Heavenly Maiden.
Now that he has overcome the Jian Dao Tribulation, his strength has undergone a complete transformation.
Let alone top-tier techniques like the Samsara Time and Space, even the Zhan Shen Saber is terrifyingly powerful.
This sword Blade Art is linked to the strength of Primordial Spirit, and his Primordial Spirit has already undergone the Baptism Order, possessing an Undying characteristic. It is estimated that it can even cleave through the Nine Heavens. What is Sixth Heaven "Supreme God Riding Light" compared to that?
Even with the ultimate level of Daoist magic, how many of his strikes could it withstand?
"Let's go take a look over there."
Lin Yao pointed ahead, but did not respond to the other person's topic.
Top-Tier Dao Seed can't withstand a single strike?
Just playing around!
At this moment, Jiang Ping stopped and frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yao turned her head and noticed that Jiang Ping seemed a little unhappy. Immediately, her face showed a strange expression. Could it be that he was displeased because she hadn't responded to his words?
Jiang Ping then said in a deep voice:
"I've been waiting for a full quarter of an hour. May I see Di San now?"
He wanted to go and kill Ding Peng.
Judging by the time, news from Giant City should be arriving soon, and he was afraid that Ding Peng would run away as soon as he heard about it.
"Ah?"
Lin Yao paused, genuinely unable to understand her new companion's thoughts.
Didn't she already say that Di San was discussing matters with distinguished guests?
If the other party insists on disturbing us, not only will it disturb our distinguished guest, but it will also displease Di San.
However, Jiang Ping didn't care about any of that. He had made up his mind to see Di San first, and then go and kill Ding Peng.
