The voice transmission was naturally from Shen Ping.
During this period of time, he had enjoyed the benefits of the five sources of disaster. If he really let that Eldest Senior Sister attract the demons alone, he would have to worry about the safety of Yin Shu.
Yin Shu, on the other hand, was first shocked before her eyes revealed joy. She did not expect Junior Brother Ling Zhen to be beside her. She couldn’t care less about her excitement and immediately suggested it according to Shen Ping’s words.
“Senior Sister, I’m quite talented in spells. If I bring it around, I believe I can successfully avoid the eyes and ears of the demons and complete the task entrusted to me by the Ancestral Master.
The Eldest Senior Sister was stunned. “Yin Shu, you…” She changed her words halfway and said, “Alright, I’ll leave it to you, Yin Shu.”
The other Daoists were confused. They did not know why their Eldest Senior Sister suddenly handed this heavy responsibility to Yin Shu. Her attainments in spells were not shallow, but her strength was the weakest among the five. If she was exposed, her life would be in danger.
However, since the Eldest Senior Sister had made a decision, they could not say anything.
Just as they were about to part, the Eldest Senior Sister looked at Yin Shu and said seriously, “Tell me, what methods do you have to ensure your own safety?
If you can’t tell me, I definitely can’t let you take the risk.”
Yin Shu hesitated for a moment before telling her about Shen Ping. “The reason why I was able to return alive those two times was all thanks to this Junior Brother Ling Zhen’s help. He also has the cultivation of a Perfected Person like
Senior Sister.”
“Oh?” There’s actually such a genius in the Changling Temple?
Eldest Senior Sister stared at Yin Shu. Seeing that she did not seem to be lying, she believed her a little. However, such a thing was too shocking. Just as she was about to ask in detail, a jade sword floated silently beside her.
This jade sword was the Dao Sword of Ling Yin Temple. She recognized the sword body on it. It was Yin Shu’s. She looked around, but she could not sense anything.
Yin Shu picked up the jade sword and said shyly, “I-I gave this jade sword to
him.”
Fine. When she saw her junior sister’s expression, she understood, but she was extremely shocked in her heart. The other party was actually able to hide from her senses and silently send the jade sword to her side. This method was really formidable.
“Junior Sister, I’ll agree to your suggestion, but before I leave, I have to remind you that the rules and regulations of the Daoist temple can’t be broken. No matter what, don’t easily hand over your most precious thing.”
“Ah…”
When Yin Shu came back to her senses, her senior sister had already left with the other Daoists.
“Senior Sister, why are you in a daze?”
Shen Ping’s sudden appearance shocked her.
She patted her chest. Yin Shu lowered her head shyly. She understood what her senior sister was talking about. Half of the joy in her heart had dissipated, but she still felt inexplicably happy. “Junior Brother Ling Zhen, why are you here in Shuzhou?” She could not help but ask.
Shen Ping briefly explained the arrangements of the Daoist temple and stopped talking about this matter. Instead, he said, “Did your senior sister give you that important thing?”
Yin Shu nodded. She did not hide anything. “It’s a sealed letter.”
“Just a letter?”
Shen Ping felt that this was probably a smokescreen set up by the Ancestral Master of the Ling Yin Temple. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that this letter was indeed very important. It might even be that the Ling Yin Temple wanted to secretly collaborate with Emei to plot something. However, they could have just let the Ancestral Master of the Blessed Land enter the Netherworld to contact him, but they had to turn it into a letter.
Yin Shu nodded. “Apart from the letter, Senior Sister didn’t give me anything else.”
Shen Ping did not continue to ask. “Let’s go to Jian Province. We’ll give ourselves away on the way and let those demons think that you’re carrying something important.”
Yin Shu trusted Shen Ping very much, but she still said worriedly, “Junior Brother Ling Zhen, this will attract many demons. Will it work?” “Don’t worry. Besides, this can also reduce the pressure on your senior sister and senior brother.”
Therefore, although the two of them kept a low profile, they still deliberately revealed their tracks and secretly leaked the letter to the relay station. Immediately, the number of demons attacking them increased.
Before they reached the Jian Province, there were already demons with more than 500 years of cultivation blocking them.
At a tributary of the Shu River, the two of them rowed on the boat. Not only did they not look like they were on their way, but they also looked like tourists who were here to admire the scenery. Under the wind of the river, her black hair that was like a waterfall was casually tied up. The Daoist robe on her had long been changed into an ordinary woman’s embroidered dress. The curves on her chest were round like jade beads, and her cheeks were rosy. She leaned into Shen Ping’s arms and enjoyed her peaceful time.
“To be able to meet Junior Brother in Shuzhou, don’t you think this is heaven s will?”
Shen Ping understood the meaning behind her words and could not help but nod softly. “It’s heaven’s will. I thought that it would be decades or even a hundred years before I saw you again. I didn’t expect it to be so soon.
A smile appeared on her lips, but as if she had thought of something, the smile quickly disappeared and turned into a faint sigh. “How good would it be if you and I weren’t Daoists?”
Shen Ping could not help but laugh. If he was not a Daoist, how could they have met? However, he did not say anything that would spoil the mood.
“Junior Brother Ling Zhen, we’ll stay in Shuzhou after sending the letter to Emei and never go back, okay?”
She looked up at Shen Ping.
Shen Ping did not look straight into those eyes. Instead, he looked at the river. “Senior Sister, some things are destined to be difficult to change. You and I should not give up our own pursuits for a short period of love. Moreover, even a Daoist can still pursue his own love.”
When Yin Shu heard the first part, she immediately felt disappointed, but the latter part made her look happy. “B-But since ancient times, no Daoist has ever been able to get together. If you and I force ourselves, we will end up like the people in the past.”
Shen Ping smiled. “If others don’t succeed, we might be able to. As long as we’re strong, I believe that even the Dao sects in the world won’t be able to stop us.” He waved his hand, and talisman swords instantly condensed. Then, they shot down the river like arrows. The talisman sword immediately pierced through the demons hiding under the water.
Boom!
Two demon pythons with 500 years of cultivation rushed out. Horns had already appeared on their heads. Clearly, they had the potential to transform into flood dragons.
“Tsk tsk, what a golden couple. For love, they even disregarded the rules of the Dao Sect in the world. Such a temperament makes us demons admire them endlessly. As long as you hand over the letter, I can let you leave. Otherwise, this Lan River will be your burial ground!”
One of the demon pythons spoke in human language.
Shen Ping did not waste any time. With a flick of his finger, the densely packed talisman swords quickly gathered to form a spell formation, suppressing the two demon pythons with a powerful might.
Even though the scales of the two demon pythons were hard, they quickly could not withstand the attack of the talisman swords. More and more wounds appeared on their bodies. In less than ten breaths, they wanted to burrow into the Lan River and escape.
Unfortunately, they had still underestimated Shen Ping’s strength. In the end, they died tragically.
After dealing with the two demon pythons, he floated in the air and sat cross- legged He used his Devouring Talent to crazily absorb the five-elemental vitality that dissipated from the demonic python’s body. There were also other demons. All these added up to more than 1,300 years of cultivation. If he converted the five-elemental vitality, it would be at least 500 years.
Yin Shu, who was on the wooden boat, was already used to this. She felt at ease and protected Shen Ping.
Four hours passed, all the five-element vitality transformed into his Dao Attainment, and the five-element vitality officially broke through to the thousand-year Dao Attainment realm. Unlike the Yin-Yang vitality, he could continue to absorb the five-element vitality and refine it into a higher-level five-element nomological energy.
He slowly opened his eyes. He briefly processed the remaining materials of the demon python’s corpse and made it into a protective soft armor. He then handed it to Yin Shu. With this armor, ordinary Perfected Persons’ methods could not cause serious injuries to her.
“Next, we can have some peace and quiet.” Shen Ping said with a smile as he sat beside Yin Shu. As long as the demon faction was not stupid, they would naturally know that Yin Shu was not simple after losing so many powerful demons.
“Junior Brother Ling Zhen, you’re too powerful.” Yin Shu could not help but say.
Shen Ping was in a good mood now. He said half-jokingly, ” I have something even more powerful.” He reached down along Yin Shu’s collar.
