Chapter 85: Leaving Calmly

In the small courtyard.

When Yu Yan saw the female cultivator from last time, a faint smile appeared on her lips. Mu Jin walked in and cupped her hands. “I’m Mu Jin, an external member of True Treasure Pavilion. Greetings, Fellow Daoist!”

Yu Yan returned the bow. “Husband’s Dao companion, Yu Yan.”

After sitting down, Shen Ping did not say anything. Instead, he drank the spiritual tea and waited quietly.

Time pa.s.sed slowly. There was only the sound of breathing in the hall. As the shadow of the small courtyard gradually lengthened, Mu Jin couldn’t help but say, “Talisman Master Shen, we have to be careful in Spring Garden. Even if we can get out safely, we’ll be in danger when we reach the periphery of the Hundred Thousand Mountains without the protection of experts.”

Shen Ping nodded. “What Fellow Daoist Mu said makes sense. We’ll act according to the situation.”

He was already fully prepared.

100 Golden Light Talismans.

Second-stage puppet.

Five Armor Spirit Talismans.

There was also a one-time consumable special Dharma artifact that he had spent his family’s money to buy from the True Treasure Pavilion. These methods were enough to deal with early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, as long as he kept a low profile.

He was a cultivator in the eighth level of Qi Refinement, a Talisman Master who was not good at fighting. Even if Spring Garden attacked, they would not trouble a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

However, if it was really the late-stage Foundation Establishment realm…

Shen Ping opened the virtual interface and looked at the golden Talisman Dao Mystique. Whether he could survive or not depended on this time. Apart from that, there was also the purple bead given by Bai Yuying’s younger brother.

The other party belonged to Spring Garden and definitely had some understanding of the situation in Spring Garden. At the very least, he would not harm his sister for no reason.

As his thoughts drifted, it was time. Shen Ping suddenly stood up and looked at Yu Yan and Mu Jin. “Let’s go!”

He stepped out of the small courtyard. The three of them did not look back. This single-family courtyard would become dust in the future.

On the way to Spring Garden, waves of cold air swept over. Mu Jin followed closely beside Shen Ping and Yu Yan, looking around from time to time. The market was deserted, and no one knew if there were any cultivators waiting in the dark.

When they walked out of the market and arrived at Spring Garden, they were not attacked.

Shen Ping and the other two heaved a sigh of relief. When they smelled the strong smell of cosmetics, Matchmaker Ceng had already come out. She glanced at Yu Yan and Mu Jin and said with a warm smile, “Please come in, Talisman Master Shen.”

First, they went to the private room. Matchmaker Ceng drank her spirit tea and said, “Talisman Master Shen, there’s three of you.”

Shen Ping took out more than ten auxiliary Level Two talismans before taking out the remaining Spirit Protection Talismans. “Fellow Daoist Ceng, please take care of us.” As he spoke, he secretly placed a Lightning Talisman in his hand and revealed a trace of spiritual light between his fingers.

Matchmaker Ceng’s eyes jumped and she quickly covered Shen Ping’s palm. She stood up and said, “There are other Fellow Daoists who haven’t come. I’ll go to the door to take a look.”

A moment later, Shen Ping walked out of the private room and followed Matchmaker Ceng to the entrance of Spring Garden. He kept the Lightning Talisman.

Matchmaker Ceng smiled brightly and sent a voice transmission, “Talisman Master Shen, someone will bring you to the Cloud Mountain Swamp later. You must remember that when choosing the flying s.h.i.+p, you must choose the purple sword-shaped flying s.h.i.+p.”

The two of them exchanged a few simple messages.

Shen Ping was alarmed. He could not quite believe Matchmaker Ceng’s words, but he could only choose to believe her at the moment. He hoped that the Lightning Talisman would be useful.

About an hour pa.s.sed, the sky outside completely darkened, and the entire market emitted a demonic blood light.

More than a hundred cultivators had gathered in the backyard of Spring Garden. Some of them reeked of blood, some were nervous and uneasy, and some were as vigilant as Shen Ping.

After a while, a few cultivators in black robes and blood-colored masks appeared at the entrance of the backyard. They emitted a faint spiritual pressure and were clearly Foundation Establishment Cultivators. “Stay close. If you fall behind, tsk tsk, don’t blame us.”

With that,

The Foundation Establishment Cultivators stepped onto their Dharma artifacts and soared into the sky.

Swish, swish, swish.

Shen Ping grabbed Yu Yan and Mu Jin and quickly followed. With the rich spiritual energy of the eighth level of Qi Refinement, it was not difficult to control the flying Dharma artifact at all. The other rogue cultivators followed closely behind.

Under the cover of the blood light, Cloud Mountain Parlour gradually became smaller and smaller.

With a Foundation Establishment cultivator leading the way, they did not encounter any attacks along the way. However, when they arrived above the Cloud Mountain Swamp, all the cultivators’ expressions turned solemn. The demon beasts in the Cloud Mountain Swamp did not care if one was a Foundation Establishment cultivator or not.

As they went deeper, some rogue cultivators grunted and fell down before they could react. The Foundation Establishment Cultivators in front did not even look at them.

Mu Jin grabbed the corner of Shen Ping’s s.h.i.+rt nervously, and the Spirit Protection Talisman on her flickered.

At this moment, Shen Ping did not care about anything else and patted his waist. The light s.h.i.+eld of the Armor Spirit Talisman enveloped the three of them. This dense spiritual light attracted the attention of many rogue cultivators. Even the Foundation Establishment Cultivator in front of him glanced over from the corner of his eyes.

Bam! Bam!

Some cultivators reacted quickly and dodged the sudden attack of the demon beasts on the swamp. Some could not dodge in time, but they were experienced in fighting and quickly followed the team.

On the other hand, Shen Ping had the Armor Spirit Talisman to defend himself.

He was unscathed after two to three attacks.

“It’s in the direction of the underground mine of the Golden Sun Sect.” Yu Yan said via voice transmission, “Be careful.”

Shen Ping frowned. Why did Spring Garden bring them to the underground mine?

The night deepened. The number of cultivators following the team decreased from more than a hundred to less than half.

Mu Jin’s face turned pale. She knew that if not for Shen Ping’s Armor Spirit Talisman, she would not have been able to reach the depths of the Cloud Mountain Swamp even if she paid 30 Spirit Protection Talismans.

“We’re here!” Not long after, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s voice sounded. All the remaining rogue cultivators heaved a sigh of relief.

Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

The light of the Dharma artifact under their feet retracted. Shen Ping and the others landed on the top floor of the pavilion built by the Golden Sun Sect in the mineral vein area. There were three small flying s.h.i.+ps at the edge, and the flying s.h.i.+ps were already filled with cultivators.

Seeing the numbness under these black hair, Shen Ping was shocked.

“Quickly board the flying s.h.i.+p!” The Foundation Establishment Cultivator urged, “Each flying s.h.i.+p can only accommodate twelve people. When it’s full, wait here for the next batch!”

Hearing this, the surviving cultivators hurriedly flashed and rushed towards the flying s.h.i.+p.

Shen Ping rushed to the purple sword-shaped flying s.h.i.+p on the left with Yu Yan and Mu Jin. He felt more at ease when he landed in the flying s.h.i.+p. At this moment, Yu Yan tightened her grip on Shen Ping’s wrist. He looked up and followed his gaze. He could not help but be stunned.

Fellow Daoist Su.

He did not expect to see Fellow Daoist Su from Red Willow Alley here. The other party seemed to have noticed Shen Ping and Yu Yan as well. The numbness in her eyes had a hint of color.

The flying s.h.i.+p did not start and continued to wait. About ten minutes later, several black-robed, blood-masked figures flew out of the underground mine and landed on the purple sword-shaped flying s.h.i.+p.

Boom!

It trembled.

The three flying s.h.i.+ps immediately transformed into rainbows of different colors and flew towards the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The cultivators who were still alive, including Shen Ping, were shocked. There were even more demon beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

It was very difficult to cross. Only the defense array of a large flying s.h.i.+p could withstand the attacks of demon beasts. With a small flying s.h.i.+p like Spring Garden, it was very difficult to guarantee its safety once it was attacked by demon beasts.

However, no one dared to question it at this moment.

Several hours pa.s.sed.

The long night welcomed a little dawn. The light in the distant sky bloomed from the night sky, and the scenery below the flying s.h.i.+p became clear.

The towering and majestic mountain range was surrounded by clouds. From time to time, the roars of demon beasts could be heard. Some of the roars carried a powerful aura and pressure, causing the flying s.h.i.+p to tremble and sway.

However, to his surprise, not a single demon beast attacked the flying s.h.i.+p.

Just like that, the three flying s.h.i.+ps quickly crossed the Hundred Thousand Mountains. All the cultivators slowly relaxed. If not for the fact that the flying s.h.i.+p was too crowded, Shen Ping would have sat down cross-legged.

“Senior, where’s my sister?”

Hearing the voice transmission, Shen Ping subconsciously looked in front of the flying s.h.i.+p and saw a black-robed, blood-masked cultivator turn around. His gaze was familiar with suppressed anger.

“Qingyang City!” He immediately replied in surprise.

Bai Yuying’s younger brother was stunned. The anger in his eyes instantly disappeared, and grat.i.tude surged out. “Thank you, Senior. I didn’t expect to be able to leave the Cloud Mountain Swamp alive. Senior, don’t worry. This purple flying s.h.i.+p can leave safely. That purple bead shouldn’t be needed anymore. However, it’s best for you to keep it. It might be useful in the future.”

Shen Ping finally felt completely at ease.. He hurriedly asked, “Where is the purple flying s.h.i.+p going?”
