Shen Ping shook his head. Since the other party had spoken, how could she let it go? This time, she had personally come to visit a junior like him. It was very likely that she was just testing him. There must be other methods behind.

An Zhiyuan frowned deeply. As the An Clan’s Ancestor, he naturally knew how troublesome this matter was. If Fairy Luo Xia was really just testing him, then it would be fine. However, he was afraid that the other party would secretly make a move.

“With the decline of the human race, we should work together. This Fairy Luo Xia is really in vain as a human!”

Thinking of the worst outcome, An Zhiyuan could not help but curse.

Shen Ping sighed. He had been too careless, or rather, he had underestimated human nature. Even if the human race was desolate, what did this have to do with the high-level cultivators and the pursuit of longevity? Cultivators were always scheming against each other. The higher the cultivation realm, the more they prioritized their own interests. There were ultimately very few experts like his master, Lian Xuejin, and his martial uncle, who were willing to take risks.

He sent An Zhiyuan away. He communicated with his master through the dazzling crystal. He briefly explained this matter.

Lian Xuejin said, “Disciple, you don’t have to blame yourself. The safety of the True Treasure Pavilion’s business path is related to future intelligence. It’s only right for you to make a trip there personally. However, since Fairy Luo Xia spoke, she must have the intention to attack. You have to be mentally prepared. Your current cultivation realm is still too low. You can barely deal with Fairy Luo Xia with many methods, but if there’s a Body Integration cultivator behind her, it’ll be difficult.”

Shen Ping nodded. “Master, what do you think I should do?”

Lian Xuejin pondered for a moment and said, “Fairy Luo Xia’s goal is the magic treasure in your hand. Moreover, the other party didn’t attack directly. She should be a little afraid. After all, those precious materials of the True Treasure Pavilion are not something ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can obtain. In addition, you mentioned me. Even if I can’t appear, I can still serve as a deterrent.

“However, this deterrence is only in the air. Therefore, if necessary, you can take out one or two precious materials or immortal spirit stones, and wait for your cultivation to break through before doing anything else!”

Shen Ping’s eyes lit up. He understood what his master meant. With the Strange Beast Gate, as long as the next five years arrived, he could enter the Heaven Ascension Hall. At the very least, he could rely on the Strange Beast Gate to temporarily hide. As for taking immortal spirit stones or precious materials, it was nothing more than to show his foundation.

Thinking of this, he entered the Strange Beast Gate and sent Yin Ting a message.

Peak Luo Xia.

In the ethereal palace at the top of the mountain, a burly figure with soaring demonic energy coiled around him. He looked at Fairy Luo Xia with a huge pressure, “How’s the matter?”

“Black Tiger King, that little guy surnamed Shen refused to hand over the puppet and magic treasure. However, I did find out that he does have a master behind him.” Fairy Luo Xia smiled.

The Black Tiger King was the Body Interesting Demon King of Sword Seal City who stood behind the Stone Tiger Clan. The reason why he did not kill Shen Ping was mainly because he was afraid. To be able to kill s.h.i.+ Hu at the Nascent Soul realm was unimaginable in the past, let alone now. The body of a Void Refinement Realm demon was as hard as a Dharma treasure. Even spiritual ancient treasures could not break it in a short period of time, let alone the other protective treasures of s.h.i.+ Hu.

Even Fairy Luo Xia had to spend a lot of effort if she wanted to kill him. Therefore, it guessed that there was definitely an expert behind the other party and did not dare to act rashly.

“Have you found out who that expert is?”

“No, that little fellow is vigilant!”

“Continue to probe! No matter what method you use, you have to find out his background!” The Black Tiger King stood up and walked towards Fairy Luo Xia step by step. The huge pressure made Fairy Luo Xia’s face turn pale, “You humans have always had many methods. I believe Fairy Luo Xia can fulfill my request!”

Fairy Luo Xia hurriedly said, “Yes, please give me some time.”

“Sure.”

As the pressure around her disappeared, she staggered and almost fell to the ground. Several figures instantly appeared and hurriedly went forward to support Fairy Luo Xia. “Master.”

Fairy Luo Xia’s magic power shook. After shaking off the disciple, she said coldly, “I’m not at the stage where I need your help.”

“Master, the Pavilion Master of the True Treasure Pavilion and the caravan under him are not strong. With our Luo Xia Peak’s foundation, we can completely force him to hand over the treasures and puppets. This way, we can give the Black Tiger King an explanation!”

“That’s right. If he doesn’t hand it over, we can just kill the people around him.”

“Master, let the disciples do this. We can s.n.a.t.c.h the treasures and puppets today!”

Listening to the disciples’ voices, Fairy Luo Xia angrily rebuked, “Foolish. If the True Treasure Pavilion was so easy to bully, the Demon s.h.i.+ Hu of Gray Stone City wouldn’t have died. I don’t care if you want to die, but if you ruin my plan, it won’t be enough even if you die ten times!”

Her disciples fell silent.

“Inform those demonized people to keep an eye on the True Treasure Pavilion’s caravan. As long as they dare to leave Gray Stone City, I’ll make the caravan disappear forever.”

“Yes, Master!”

Half a month later, An Zhiyuan, who was in the backyard of the True Treasure Pavilion in Sword Seal City, reported with a solemn expression, “Pavilion Master, there’s news from Gray Stone City. Recently, our True Treasure Pavilion’s caravan has been attacked by demon cultivators more and more. Even the transport caravan from Black Fiend Valley to the other market branches has been attacked.”

Shen Ping did not look surprised at all. “It seems that the demon cultivator’s hara.s.sment was most likely done by Luo Xia Peak behind the scenes. What about the caravans of the other races of the Merchant Alliance?”

“They also encountered hara.s.sment, but not many times.” An Zhiyuan said in a low voice, “Recently, I contacted the other human forces in Sword Seal City. Their att.i.tude seems to be similar to Luo Xia Peak. I’m afraid they want to use this matter to suppress our True Treasure Pavilion.”

The rise of the True Treasure Pavilion was too fast. Moreover, the resources in the pavilion were scarce. Not only was it very attractive to the human race, but it was also the same to the other races. Although most of the resources were below level six, it still affected many shops in Sword Seal City. It only had a small impact on the auction house. However, there were very few high-level cultivators after all. Therefore, the other human forces and the forces of the various races that ran shops were naturally jealous.

With Peak Luo Xia taking the lead this time, they were happy to cooperate.

“Since there are demons disturbing us, we’ll suspend the traveling business and inform the members of the sub-pavilions to cultivate in seclusion.” Shen Ping instructed indifferently, “If word gets out, say that I will also be cultivating in seclusion recently.”

After Fairy Luo Xia heard this, she frowned and said, “Wait. I don’t believe that the True Treasure Pavilion won’t be able to continue trading. Moreover, as long as that little fellow is still in Sword Seal City, he won’t be able to escape from my palm.”

She also told the Black Tiger King about this.

The Black Tiger King was patient. After all, it had a long lifespan. A hundred years was just a nap to it, but it still gave a deadline. “30 years. If you don’t make any progress in 30 years, your Luo Xia Peak won’t exist!”

Time pa.s.sed bit by bit.

Shen Ping used the excuse of seclusion to almost never come into contact with any faction in Sword Seal City. It was not until three years later that he came out of seclusion and invited Fairy Luo Xia to discuss how to deal with the demons.

Fairy Luo Xia, who had waited for three years, was about to run out of patience. When she heard this, her face couldn’t help but reveal a look of joy. She came to visit again.

“Senior Yue, this is a Grade Seven Spirit Treasure. My cultivation is low and I can’t help much. I can only do my best. This Spirit Treasure was bestowed by my master and is specially given to Senior Yue.” Shen Ping bowed.

Fairy Luo Xia frowned slightly. She opened the jade box and glanced at it, and her expression immediately changed. The spiritual treasure in the jade box was actually a rare spirit item that a.s.sisted in breaking through to the Body Integration Realm. Such a spirit item was extremely rare even in the auction of Sword Seal City. Every time it appeared, it would cause many experts to fight for it. She never expected that the other party would directly give it away.

“I can sense Pavilion Master Shen’s intentions. Don’t worry.” Fairy Luo Xia revealed a smile, but the pressure in her heart suddenly increased. With such a spiritual treasure, the other party’s master was definitely a mid-stage Body Integration Realm expert. If they really fought, no matter what the outcome was, it would be difficult for her to end well.

Fortunately, she did not act rashly back then. However, with this spiritual treasure, even if she did not succeed later, she could give the Black Tiger King an explanation..
