Chapter 519: Itinerant Immortal’s Invitation (2)

“Since the other party is here for you, this matter will be resolved by you. I’ll talk to the Second Elder!”
Hearing this, Ling Ju revealed a happy expression. “Thank you, Fifth Elder.”
The law-enforcement Itinerant Immortal said indifferently, “If not for the tense situation in the city, our Itinerant Immortals would have free up their hands. This matter will definitely not be yours. Remember, the immortal artifact will belong to the clan.”
“Ling Ju understands!”
In less than half a day, he had another immortal artifact in his hand. Apart from the Sand Palm, there was also a jade plate called the Mountain and River Plate. It could cooperate with the Sand Palm, greatly increasing its ability to restrain and trap enemies. However, it was naturally impossible for a law-enforcement Itinerant Immortal to let him control two immortal artifacts. Therefore, he sent a middle-stage Tribulation Transcendence elder.
“Fellow Daoist Ling Ju, can you lock onto the location of that human Mahayana Realm?” Elder Ling Ji asked with a smile.
Ling Ju shook his head. “It has been a few days since he fought with me. The aura of the sand palm has dissipated. However, since the other party is attacking our clan’s merchant flying ship, we can use the flying ship to lure him to attack. At that time, we can kill him in one go!
“By the way, if we attack, it’s best to let the two Tribulation Transcendence Fellow Daoists of the Devil Clan and the Flame Clan take the lead. The immortal artifact in that guy’s hand is not weak. No matter what happens, we can sit back and do nothing!”
Elder Ling Ji stroked his beard and smiled. “That’s exactly what I want!”
Shen Ping had caused quite a commotion when he destroyed the Spirit Clan’s caravan. He had not deliberately hidden it at that time, so this matter soon spread to Sword Seal City.
Daoist Gu Hai naturally knew.
In the main hall of the Ancient Moon Sect, the three Tribulation Transcendence experts were speechless. This matter was clearly different from what they had expected. Originally, they had let the foreign races’ Tribulation Transcendences take the lead in and take advantage of the battle between the two sides to attack. Unexpectedly, Fellow Daoist Xu did not follow the script and his strength far exceeded their expectations. In the end, he had basically escaped their control and caused more and more trouble.
“Itinerant Immortal senior blames us for not reporting the fact that Fellow Daoist Xu has an immortal artifact.”
Daoist Gui Hai’s lips twitched. Wasn’t this nonsense? If he reported it, he wouldn’t have anything to do with it.
“Fellow Daoist Gui Hai, what should we do now?”
The other two Tribulation Transcendence cultivators looked at Daoist Gui Hai and had the idea of pushing the responsibility to him.
Daoist Gui Hai frowned. “Just say that we were negligent. Let’s return first and see what the Itinerant Immortal’s attitude is. After all, immortal artifacts are of great importance. It’s not impossible for Itinerant Immortals to have other thoughts.”
The Spirit Clan’s caravan flying ship set off again in five days. The four foreign races’ Tribulation Transcendences hid behind the caravan. As long as Shen Ping took action, they could immediately activate the Mountain and River Plate to trap him. Coupled with the Sand Palm, they could completely cut off his retreat. Even if a human Itinerant Immortal took action, they would be powerless.
Although they had a good idea, Shen Ping did not appear at all. After attacking once, he teleported away.
The four foreign races’ Tribulation Transcendences were not exasperated. Instead, they patiently followed the caravan to their destination. Seeing that the human Mahayana Realm did not appear, they returned to the Penglai Immortal City and continued to wait. Then, they let the caravan set off at the normal time.
However, three or four times in a row, nothing happened to the caravan.
“Damn it, this guy must be afraid.”
“I don’t think so. Since the other party dares to come to the Penglai Immortal City and attack our Spirit Race’s caravan, he’s quite bold. Let’s continue waiting. I want to see how long he can endure!”
In the blink of an eye, half a year passed.
Shen Ping had already changed his identity during this period of time and returned to Sword Seal City. After all, he had the initiative in this matter. As long as the Spirit Race did not attack him, Fairy Luo Xia, and his wife and Dao companions of Gray Stone City, he did not have to be anxious.
Of course, he still teleported to the vicinity of the Penglai Immortal City from time to time and used the Eye of Sea Beast to observe the movements of the foreign races. If any foreign races’ Tribulation Transcendences were to head to the Sword Seal City, he would have to take action to restrain the foreign races that were attacking the Penglai Immortal City.
However, before the foreign races arrived at Sword Seal City, Daoist Gui Hai of the human race returned to Sword Seal City again and personally came to Luo Xia Peak.
“Shen Ping, the Itinerant Immortal senior in the clan wants to see your master. Quickly inform your master of his appearance and follow us to the Penglai Immortal City.”
Shen Ping asked, “May I know why Senior Itinerant Immortal is meeting my master?”
Daoist Gui Hai glanced at Shen Ping indifferently. “This is not something you should ask.” With that, he left.
Dozens of days later, Shen Ping first went into seclusion, then changed to his master’s identity. However, he did not go to see Daoist Gui Hai. Instead, he went straight to the Tai Hua Sect in the Penglai Immortal City.
Before the Myriad Spirit Ranking appeared, Tai Hua Sect was the number one sect in the Western District. It had two Itinerant Immortal experts and more than five Tribulation Transcendence Realm elders. Be it the resources or heritage they had, they far exceeded the other factions. Back then, all the foreign races combined were not as strong as a sect.
After the Myriad Spirit Ranking, although such a foundation was strong, it was not the strongest in the Penglai Immortal City.
The guard at the entrance of the mountain sensed Shen Ping’s Mahayana Realm aura, but his expression did not change at all. He shouted, “Who dares to barge into my Tai Hua Sect?”
Shen Ping frowned slightly. These two guards were only at the Divine Transformation Realm, they actually had such an attitude and did not even have the most basic respect in the cultivation world after seeing a Mahayana Realm expert like him, he was really a little disappointed.
“I’m Fellow Daoist Xu from the True Treasure Pavilion. I’ve been invited to meet Senior Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling.”
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, he introduced himself.
Hearing that it was an invitation, the guard’s attitude became a little more enthusiastic. “Senior, please forgive me. Recently, the situation in the city has been tense. There are often foreign race experts who come to disturb us. Please wait a moment. I’ll report right away.”
Not long after, a dignified female voice sounded from the mountain gate. “Fellow Daoist Xu, can you come to the Great Yu Peak?”
Shen Ping did not know where the Great Yu Peak was, but he followed the source of the sound and flew all the way to an inverted spiritual peak. Standing in front of the palace, he could feel the surging immortal spiritual energy. This surprised him, but he quickly understood.
That’s true.
If not for the immortal spiritual energy, it would have been impossible for Tai Hua Sect to have Itinerant Immortals presiding over it. Furthermore, Tai Hua Sect had a long history. There would definitely be immortals ascending, so it was normal for them to be bestowed with immortal spirit stones.
“This way.”
The voice sounded again.
Shen Ping saw a rainbow bridge formed by a ray of light. He stepped on the rainbow bridge and arrived at the side hall. At that moment, there was a woman in a plain palace dress sitting in the pavilion on the left.
The fragrance of tea was already wafting in the pavilion.
“This is immortal tea from the Upper Realm. It’s rare in Penglai Immortal City. It’s rare for other good friends to drink it. Fellow Daoist Xu, you’re lucky today.” Other than the woman, there was also a sage-like old man who said with a smile.
Shen Ping did not use his divine sense to probe, but from its aura, it was very likely to be at the late-stage of the Tribulation Transcendence. First, he bowed. Then, he sat down. After a sip of tea and a few words of praise, he got to the point.
Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling had a heroic appearance. She smiled at Shen Ping and said, “I already know about the matter of Gui Hai. He did offend you by borrowing an immortal artifact from you, but his intentions are good. He did it for the sake of the humans of our Western District. I hope Fellow Daoist Xu can forgive him.”
Shen Ping naturally would not forgive him, but since an itinerant immortal had personally spoken, he had no choice but to give them face. All he could do was say, “I understand. May 1 know why Senior has invited me here?”
Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling said gently, “You have an immortal artifact and extraordinary strength. Even the Spirit Race’s Ling Ju can’t do anything to you. And now, the Penglai Immortal City is in need of people. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Xu is willing to join my Tai Hua Sect?”
The elder beside her added with a smile, “My Tai Hua Sect has three Itinerant Immortals. If you join, you can receive the guidance of an Itinerant Immortal.
It will not be a problem for you to break through to the Tribulation Transcendence in the future. Furthermore, my sect has many immortal seniors in the upper realm. If you ascend, you can be taken care of by them and improve better in the upper realm.”
If it was an ordinary Mahayana Realm expert, joining Tai Hua Sect was undoubtedly the best choice. After all, it was easier to take advantage of the shade under a big tree.
However, Shen Ping was different. He was the only Body Integration Beast Spirit genius of the human race and had long received the attention of the upper echelons of the human Immortal Dao. Even the Venerable Sovereign knew him, so it was naturally impossible for him to join an Itinerant Immortal sect.
“I appreciate Senior Hong Ling’s kindness. It’s just that I’m used to being undisciplined. I didn’t even join the True Treasure Pavilion that I established..”
