Chapter 344: The Battle Begins! Scarlet Domain
Chapter 344: The Battle Begins! Scarlet Domain
Only now did Cao Meng realize that the power behind him had dissipated.
Those independent cultivators at the Spiritualization stage, knowing clearly that it is impossible for them to seize the Mahayana inheritance from the hands of several great Void Refinement masters, would not conflict with the forces that Lin Fuping belongs to for the benefit of Cao Meng and others.
To put it bluntly, they have already secured their interests within an appropriate range. As for the rest...does it have anything to do with them?
Cao Meng, who is that? I don't know him!
This is also one of the characteristics of independent cultivators. They can unite for the sake of interests at a very fast speed, and they can also turn around and abandon the alliance for the sake of interests!
"Okay, okay!"
Cao Meng laughed out of anger. He had thought that he was a little white rabbit that was carefully raised by the sect, but he did not expect that he was a cunning fox.
Holding the biggest bargaining chip in his hand, he used the inheritance of the fusion period to disintegrate his own forces.
I used to think she was young and easy to fool, but now it seems that it’s not her who is easy to fool, it’s me!
Angry╰_╯
"So your Sword Sect wants to join hands with the Buddhist Sect to take over this Mahayana inheritance? Then what are you going to do about the Li family, the Ou family, and the Jiang family? After all, there are only three Mahayana inheritances."
Cao Meng wanted to sow discord between the forces on Lin Fuping's side. He didn't believe that there would be anyone who would not be tempted when faced with the Mahayana inheritance.
"This has nothing to do with Senior!"
Lin Fuping smiled, not looking worried at all, and added at the end:
"If the Buddhists fail, you seniors can still give it a try. I promise that no one from my Sword Sect will get involved, and neither will the Jiang Family."
Cao Meng was furious. The inheritance of the Mahayana period was fleeting. If it was really inherited by the Buddhists, it would be useless even if he ate them.
"It seems like you, youngster, are really going to fight us! I just don't know how capable you are!"
Cao Meng's spiritual power surged, and a great battle was about to happen.
However, the first person to stop him was not Lin Fuping, but a female cultivator who had been standing beside him.
"Don't worry, Brother Meng. There is room for maneuver."
"Sister Ying, please get out of the way. These disciples from the great sects clearly already have the inheritance, yet they are still trying to compete for our hope. How excessive and vicious!
If I don't take action, won't we, the independent cultivators, always be trampled under their feet?"
Lin Fuping folded his arms and sneered
"Oh, fighting? Why didn't you come in to fight while I was fighting to the death in there?
Now that the inheritance has been revealed, you come to pick peaches and chant the Buddha's plan. I give you a chance, but you still want to drag us down! Who gave you the face! ? "
Before Lin Fuping completed the purification, the ancient city was not completely closed, at least that's what the fresh corpses she saw when she entered told her.
Now that I have tried my best to get rid of the foul qi, this person is still saying that the sect is competing with them, the independent cultivators, for resources! ?
I bother!
This relic has been here for tens of millions of years. Why didn't you come here before? Now that the problem has been solved, you come here with a shameless face.
Still cursing his own sect, damn it, who is going too far and who is shameless!
"Auntie, calm down!"
Jiang Linglong tried to dissuade her. She didn't know why she, an aunt, liked to be someone else's "aunt" so much. Wangshu said that when they first met, she was tricked by her aunt into calling him "aunt".
Bai Banxia glanced at Lin Fuping, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
This is the first time I see Junior Sister like this!
Cao Meng was blocked. Looking at the people from the Sword Sect who were ready to fight him, he finally managed to utter a few words.
"It's obviously Master Cihang who's fighting so hard, how could it be you!?"
A roar sounded in Lin Fuping's mind!
"Who!? Who are you talking about?"
Master Cihang...!?
Lin Fuping was shocked and recalled the blood-colored chains that bound his incomplete soul and what Luo Ciying said when he entered.
Standing behind him were Jueming and Cihang. Abbot Jueming had clearly appeared, so why did he forget Master Cihang?
"Master, Master, what happened to him?!"
"you do not know!?"
Cao Meng was also surprised. What was wrong with these powerful people? They were hiding things from their own people.
As expected, the waters in the big sects are deep, but it is more comfortable to be a freelance cultivator.
Lin Fuping's mind kept flashing back to the few times he and Cihang had met. He finally understood why he did not open the letter from his master when they first met. He also knew where his sense of sadness and relief came from when he met him the second time.
but...
This is not the problem I am facing now.
Lin Fuping calmed down and said in a cold voice:
"Since you already know that it was Bodhisattva Cihang who sacrificed his life for justice in exchange for the inheritance to be revealed in the world, then why can't I let the Buddhists accept the inheritance first?"
Cao Meng was stunned. It seemed like he had fallen into the trap again! ?
"How can this be? You are trying to trick me, you little brat!"
Cao Meng was furious because he had no point in making an argument. Plus, he believed that he was the strongest, oldest, and most experienced person present, and that he should be in charge of the overall situation instead of being led by the nose by this junior who was less than a hundred years old.
With a wave of his hands, a pair of scarlet double-ring blades appeared in his hands, emitting a bloody aura.
This is also one of the reasons why he strongly opposed Buddhism to accept the inheritance first. He used a knife.
Therefore, when he learned about the sword master inherited by the top Mahayana period, his goal was already determined.
The Mahayana Sword Cultivation inheritance was a tailor-made inheritance for him. Having not made any progress for many years, he could not resist at all when faced with such a temptation.
Therefore, he would not allow even the slightest mistake to occur. Even though the Buddhist skills might very likely prevent them from inheriting the sword tradition, he did not dare to gamble.
This inheritance, for them, the disciples of a big sect, might be a "stone" that can be used to polish jade, or a "flower" that can be used to add icing on the cake, but for him, it is charcoal in the snow, a lamp in a dark room, and a boat to cross the river.
If I miss this opportunity, I don’t know if I can find such a suitable opportunity in this life.
Even if it means offending many forces such as the Sword Sect and Buddhism, he would not hesitate to do so.
"Junior sister, stand back!"
Seeing that Cao Meng was about to attack, Bai Banxia immediately stood in front of Lin Fuping, with the Haoyue Sword emitting a biting chill, ready to strike.
"Senior sister, let me do it!"
Lin Fuping didn't want to be under Bai Banxia's protection all the time.
"Is that okay?"
Bai Banxia did not object at the first moment. She was not the kind of person who would keep her fellow junior brothers and sisters under her protection.
It’s just that her junior sister is only in the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm, while Cao Meng is already in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm. He is also an experienced casual cultivator and has much more combat experience than her junior sister, so she is a little worried.
"Yes, Senior Sister, you must trust me!"
Lin Fuping summoned the Star Sword, passed Bai Banxia, and pointed the sword at Cao Meng.
"Please ask Senior Sister to help me clear the way!"
On their side, there are two Lingxu masters, Li Fuji and Bai Banxia, while on the opposite side, there are four Lingxu masters behind Cao Meng. They have the advantage in numbers, but they are inferior in terms of learned skills and unity.
"Let's go up there! Don't disturb others from carrying out their inheritance."
Lin Fuping flew up into the sky first, followed closely by Cao Meng. The middle-aged female cultivator who had tried to dissuade him before, whom he called Sister Ying, also chased upwards after taking a look at Bai Banxia.
"Please ask Brother Li to look after the sect disciples for me."
Bai Banxia said something to Li Fuji and followed him.
"Oh, they all ran away!"
Li Fuji sighed and looked at the three remaining Void Refining cultivators on the opposite side. He was not afraid, but took out several formation plates from his storage ring and activated them to protect himself and the disciples behind him.
"Everyone, I'm sorry, but we have to be loyal to the people who entrusted us with this. Let's just wait here until they come up with a result."
Li Fuji's actions destroyed the hope of the other three independent cultivators to use the Sword Sect disciples as hostages.
Even if the three of them attacked together, they would not be able to quickly capture Li Fuji, who was also in the Void Refinement Stage, under the protection of the formation, let alone capture the Sword Sect disciple behind him.
If they cannot capture the Sword Sect's disciples instantly, when Lin Fuping and Bai Banxia return, their chances of obtaining the inheritance will be almost zero.
"Haha, then let's wait together!"
With no other choice, the three cultivators could only compromise.
"Amitabha, what a sin. It is wrong to let Mr. Lin suffer a hard battle because of Buddhism."
Liaokong looked at the fluctuations of spiritual power coming from the sky, closed his eyes and sighed.
Li Fuji stood with his hands behind his back
"Master, don't think too much. Not to mention that this relic inheritance is originally guarded by the Buddhist Temple, just talking about this battle, do you really think it will be a tough battle for Fellow Daoist Lin?"
The Sword Sect is well-deserved of its reputation for war, and perhaps Lin Fuping is waiting for Cao Meng to take action.
"But Master, didn't you tell Fellow Daoist Lin about the martyrdom of Bodhisattva Cihang today?"
"No, if it weren't for Donor Cao who revealed it, I would have hoped to keep it a secret forever, or for Donor Lin to know about it as late as possible."
"Why?"
Li Fuji was surprised
Why hide the sacrifices and contributions of Buddhism? Even if Lin Fuping didn't know it today, she would know it sooner or later, after all, so many people were watching.
"Amitabha, Donor Li, Donor Lin still has her own things to do. I am worried that if Donor Lin knew about this, it would affect her state of mind."
This is the concern of Liaokong and the Buddhist community behind him.
When Lin Fuping knew that the people suppressed below the royal city were in the Mahayana stage or even the Tribulation Crossing stage, she still chose to go down to purify the foul air. This was because Buddhism told her that Buddhism had prohibitions that could suppress the power of the soul.
But Buddhism did not tell her that the Buddhist restrictions came from the constraints of the same bloodline, relying on the bodies left behind by royal families of various countries tens of millions of years ago, and the power that burst out from the shattered souls of the same Mahayana period.
Because human hearts are fickle, this is the truth that Buddhism has discovered over tens of millions of years in the Western Desert.
They didn't dare to gamble on what would happen if Lin Fuping knew about this? Would he bear the guilt of a Mahayana life, or worry that the next Buddhist would not be willing to die and open the ban.
Or, the mentality has changed from a savior to a persecutor, and there is no longer the same determination and perseverance to move forward as before.
When Li Fuji heard this, he looked at him strangely, and finally said after careful consideration:
"Master, you have been with Fellow Daoist Lin for quite some time! Why do you have such...views of her!?"
State of mind! ?
The state of mind of a sword cultivator is the purest, because most sword cultivators don’t have enough brains and don’t think so much.
Occasionally, there are a small number of sword cultivators who are not only smart but also exceptionally clear-headed, and have a different perspective on things. Could these people be trapped by their state of mind?
Not to mention anything else, based on the few times he had spent time with Lin Fuping, Li Fuji didn't think that Lin Fuping was the kind of person whose mood would be easily affected.
Liaokong smiled faintly, shook his head and said nothing
It was precisely because he had spent a long time with Lin Fuping and had seen the changes she had undergone after coming out of the nightmare that he became even more worried.
In Lekong's opinion, Lin Fuping is a person with delicate emotions and strong empathy, so she can empathize with the things in the nightmare.
That's why I'm worried that because of her delicate feelings, she will bear things that she shouldn't bear.
But these things involve Lin Fuping, so they cannot be told to Li Fuji.
Seeing this, Li Fuji stopped asking questions and just looked up at the sky.
"After not seeing her for many years, she has become even stronger!"
...
Ten thousand meters above the sky, the wind was freezing cold and Lin Fuping's clothes were rustling. Behind her was Bai Banxia, and opposite her was Cao Meng holding a double blade.
Cao Meng's two blades collided, and blood mist spread in all directions. Cao Meng's eyes were filled with excitement, as if he was stimulated by the blood mist.
Lin Fuping looked at the blood mist and remembered something bad, his face looked a little unhappy.
But after feeling it carefully, he found that there was no strong breath of fear and resentment in the blood mist, nor were there any resentful souls or ghosts, so his brows relaxed.
It seems that this is not the method of a demon cultivator!
"This is the Scarlet Domain that I have cultivated with great effort over the past thousand years. Today I will let you, a young man, open your eyes!"
Different from the blood mist created by the devil cultivators using massive amounts of mortals, his blood mist came from every enemy he killed. The blood mist contained the Tao he cultivated and the fighting spirit accumulated from his repeated victories.
Therefore, this "Scarlet Domain" has a certain improvement effect on Cao Meng himself, and for the enemy, it has a certain oppressive effect on the spiritual consciousness.
This was Cao Meng's way of fighting. He would improve himself, suppress the opponent, and then, through victory after victory, continue to accumulate the Scarlet Domain's fighting spirit, thus forming a virtuous circle.
But there is also a problem. If he fails once, even if his accumulated fighting spirit is not completely burned, it will be affected and mostly lost.
Therefore, Cao Meng was extremely cautious when using the Scarlet Domain. However, this time, he thought he could defeat Lin Fuping, so he used the Scarlet Domain at the beginning.
only...
This method of oppressing the opponent on a spiritual level requires a prerequisite, that is, the opponent's spiritual consciousness is weaker than one's own.
At this time, Lin Fuping was in the scarlet area, listening to the roars of people unwilling to lose coming from the blood mist, with a blank expression on his face, and even a little annoyed by the noise.
Not only did she think so, she said it!
"It's so noisy!"
The Star Sword drew a graceful arc in the air, but Lin Fuping's heart was not affected at all.
"You are the ones who lost, not me! So, stop nagging!"
