" Nine-Fire Thunder Tube and Mother-Child Whirling Thunder, these are all good things. Even if they can't compare to the Thunder Pearl we encountered at Great Canopy Mountain, they shouldn't be underestimated. The power of that Thunder Pearl was terrifying. Ordinary cultivators couldn't withstand it even if they activated their protective spiritual light!"
He Ping understood that with the power of that lightning bead, even experts at the Dao Realm weren't particularly afraid. After all, given their strength, they couldn't possibly be killed by it unless the opponent was completely unprepared, in which case they could make such an expert look disheveled.
As for the Nine-Fire Thunder Tube and the Mother-Child Whirling Thunder, needless to say, they are basically incapable of seriously injuring or damaging a master who has entered the Dao realm.
However, there are always exceptions. No matter how powerful a master is, they cannot guarantee that they will not be in danger of falling into a trap or being stranded on a beach. When they are in a desperate situation where their spirit is exhausted and they cannot use Law Artifact, wouldn't it be an extra trump card if they had a thunder pearl in their hand, or a protective treasure that ordinary people can use, such as the Nine-Fire Thunder Tube or the Mother-Child Whirling Thunder?
"Besides, the Nine-Fire Thunder Tube and the Mother-Child Whirling Thunder... even if I don't need them, I can give them to my subordinates. Qi Baiyi, Liu Yu, and the others are not cultivators, and they don't have many ways to defend themselves against experts who are proficient in Daoist arts. If they have the Nine-Fire Thunder Tube and the Mother-Child Whirling Thunder, they will have one more chance to save their lives."
He Ping quickly put the wooden box away. Finally, he looked at the tin box. The box was not locked, but it was bound with several chains and covered with black talismans. When the wind blew, the talismans swayed and the chains clanged.
The metal box gave the impression of harboring some ferocious beast, with chains and talismans meant to suppress it, creating a sinister and eerie atmosphere.
"This thing is not good!"
He Ping frowned, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.
"My gut feeling tells me that this metal box clearly contains something extremely dangerous. Taking it out will not only do me no good, but will also bring me a lot of trouble... So, should I throw this monstrosity away?"
He hadn't expected that the Azure Lion God would bring out such a strange tin box from the Crimson Flow Fort's storeroom. This was probably a hot potato, and it would be best to get rid of it as soon as possible.
"Should we throw it Crimson Flow Fort? But this thing might belong to the Fragrance Sect. What if something goes wrong? Will it affect my side...?"
After thinking it over, he decided to throw the iron box Crimson Flow Fort and let whoever was capable of dealing with it handle it; he would definitely not interfere!
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a sound came from somewhere in the night wind.
"This item is ominous; it should not be opened casually, nor should it be abandoned!"
"Who?"
He Ping felt a chill run down his spine. His senses were incredibly sharp, and with his eyes and ears modified, he still couldn't detect the source of the sound. In an instant, he became alert!
'This is bad... Could it be a Daoist master? Or perhaps it's a master from the Fragrance Sect coming to help? Or maybe...'
As He Ping's thoughts raced, a faint wisp of black smoke drifted out from the poplar grove. In everyone's sight, the wisp of black smoke suddenly stopped, then gathered again in the blink of an eye, transforming into a strange man wearing a cloak and a golden mask.
"Brother Moxiuluo, I am Miqiluo. Sorry I'm a little late."
The strange man in the golden mask laughed, strode over, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother, I had no choice. I originally wanted to get here as soon as possible to help, but I received news that the Fragrance Sect had sent a Dao-entering expert who planned to come from Nanling Circuit to Jinhe Prefecture to provide assistance. So I intercepted him on the way and barely managed to drive away that Fragrance Sect elder. That's why I was a step too late!"
"... Miqiluo?"
He Ping also noticed the man's golden mask. The mask depicted a divine general wearing a rooster's comb, none other than General Miqiluo, one of the Twelve Yaksha Generals.
'This person... is actually a Daoist master! It's truly unbelievable. I underestimated the power of the Eastern Esoteric School. Daoist masters aren't easy to find; recruiting one won't be a simple matter!'
"That's right, that's right, it's me!"
This Miqiluo was an outgoing person. His mask only covered half of his face, and when he grinned, he revealed his gleaming white teeth.
"Brother, you're incredibly fast! From planning to finishing, it took less than a day to capture Crimson Flow Fort and raze the incense hall of the Fragrance Sect. That's a truly great achievement!"
"So, this... Brother Miqiluo, do you perhaps have some guidance for me?"
He Ping was somewhat puzzled, wondering why this person wanted to befriend him. This Miqiluo should be a highly skilled Daoist, so why would such a person join an organization like " Eastern Esoteric School " and why would he be in charge of the "Thirteen Golden Generals"? It was truly surprising.
"I dare not presume to offer guidance."
Miqiluo chuckled.
"Brother, you may not know this, but I have a favor to ask of you. I wonder if you could do me the honor?"
"Please speak?"
He Ping spoke calmly.
"If I can do it, I will naturally do my best."
"Hehe, Brother Moxiuluo is a straightforward guy."
Miqiluo clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Actually, it's like this... Brother, you're a bit short on cash lately. Didn't you just make a fortune from Crimson Flow Fort? Could I share half of it? I have a lot of family members to feed, and as the head of the household, no matter how much money I earn, it's never enough!"
He Ping was taken aback for a moment; he hadn't expected this person to come over and try to build a relationship for this reason.
"Brother Miqiluo, you're putting me in a difficult position. I'm working for Indaluo, and even the captured supplies have to be delivered to the higher-ups!"
He had no good way to deal with such a rogue. If he confronted him head-on, he would undoubtedly offend a master cultivator.
He Ping immediately brought up "Lord Indaluo," his superior, whom he guessed was no ordinary person and must be the leader among the Thirteen Golden Generals.
No, he should be someone with an extraordinary status within the entire Eastern Esoteric School Society.
"That makes sense, but brother, let's deal with the important matters here first."
The gaze beneath the mask of the Miqiluo sharpened, and his eyes instantly shifted to the tin box.
"There's something troublesome here; if we don't find a way to resolve it, things will spiral out of control!"
Without further ado, the master, whose eyes were visible through the hole in his golden mask, seemed to flicker with divine light. Suddenly, he waved his hand and flicked his fingertips, as if thrusting a sword through the air.
"--choke!
Five zhang away, amidst the sound of gold and jade shattering, several chains on the tin box were cut, and the tin box suddenly shook.
With a bang, the lid of the box was flipped open, and instantly, thick black gas surged out, pitch black and rising into the air, almost shooting straight up to the top of the sky.
"What audacity!"
!"
The billowing black mist swirled in the air, from which emerged a gigantic beast head, nearly the size of a small mountain, with a sharp snout and a gaping maw, its teeth as sharp as spears.
In that instant, a series of intense auras of evil, violence, and extreme cruelty rose up. The enormous beast head turned out to be a fox, an astonishingly large fox. When this fox opened its mouth, it let out a deafening roar.
"You vile people, how dare you kill my followers!"
!"
The fox's eyes were like two enormous lanterns, bloodshot and intense. A single glance at them could evoke a sense of unease and turmoil.
"Who do we have here? Turns out it's you, you stinking fox!"
Miqiluo laughed heartily.
" Heart Fox Old Devil, this is not the Abyssal Realm, nor Junaruo Divine Mountain, nor is it the territory of your Seven Sky-Deluding Saints. How dare you evil creatures of the demonic path run rampant in the Great You Kingdom of the mortal realm!"
"You little stinker, how dare you speak so arrogantly!"
The fox was furious. Countless dark red lights emanated from the twin blood-red children, like a cluster of flames or dense blood vessels. At that moment, upon hearing Miqiluo's voice, the dark red light scattered from the children's openings, and the fox cast two crimson gazes at the people on the ground.
A fierce and ruthless aura emanated from their gaze. The moment the fox appeared, everyone present froze in place, enveloped by the red light emanating from the beast child. Their hair stood on end, their hearts raced, and their blood began to flow backward.
"Snort!"
Miqiluo snorted coldly, his voice like a muffled thunderclap, striking everyone's hearts. They all shivered in shock, only then realizing that their hearts felt as if they had just exploded.
"With me here, you old monster, how dare you act so recklessly!"
After speaking, he swept his right fingertip across the air, casually sketching, and saw invisible talismans forming in the air.
" Dark Yin Ghost-Slaying Talisman! Break it!"
With a flick of his finger, the orthodox Daoist talismans pierced through the air, transforming into light that crisscrossed each other like sword beams slashing through the sky. Miraculously, hundreds of sword beams suddenly appeared, and with a single strike, the fox was torn to shreds by the sword light, the thick black smoke dissipated in all directions, and even the air itself was instantly shattered into fragments by the sword light!
"Daoist talismans? Demon-slaying sword Sword Qi?"
He Ping was slightly taken aback.
"Could this be the famous < Ghost Slashing Flying Qi >?!"
