It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

The person being questioned by Chen Ping was none other than Lin Tian.

Lin Tian's face darkened upon hearing this.

You told me to get lost, so I got lost.

Why should I listen to you!

He glared at Chen Ping and shouted.

"Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to stop me from joining the Qingxuan Sect? What kind of person are you?"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Chen Ping.

Judging from the words of the unfamiliar young man in front of him, it seemed that he did not want Lin Tian to join the Qingxuan Sect.

No one recognized him. During this time, Chen Ping had been staying in the restaurant and had never appeared in front of anyone.

They naturally didn't recognize Chen Ping, and they never dreamed that the Qingxuan Sect had actually sent three elders to this event.

However, there was one person who just lazed around and lived a carefree life on his own.

Ye Qingxue and the elders also saw Chen Ping, and were shocked to see Lin Tian so recklessly speaking rudely to Chen Ping.

In their minds, Chen Ping was no longer just an ordinary deacon elder.

Rather, it was a reclusive master of the Qingxuan Sect who had come out to travel among mortals.

Lin Tian has offended Chen Ping, and he will certainly not have a good ending.

Chen Ping saw that Lin Tian still didn't take him seriously.

He then looked at Yun Muyao and Wang Qing, and pointed at Lin Tian.

"We, the Qingxuan Sect, do not want him."

Yun Muyao and Wang Qing were also completely bewildered when they heard this.

Although he was unaware of what had happened between the two, he immediately bowed and accepted the order.

"Yes, senior brother."

Then Wang Qing stepped forward and pulled Lin Tian out of the crowd.

"Go back now."

Lin Tian was completely dumbfounded.

No, what's going on?

Why do Wang Qing and Yun Muyao address this young man as "senior brother"?

Lin Tian then realized that Chen Ping was also an elder of the Qingxuan Sect, and his seniority and status were even higher than Yun Muyao and Wang Qing.

With just one sentence, the other party was able to expel him from the Qingxuan Sect.

Lin Tian was instantly overwhelmed by despair.

Isn't this Chen Ping the same ordinary young man from the restaurant back then?

How could he be an elder of the Qingxuan Sect?

Moreover, as an elder in charge of the Qingxuan Sect, why is he so low-key?

You should have said so earlier! If you had said so earlier, I wouldn't have been so pretentious!

Lin Tian was filled with regret.

He rushed to Chen Ping's side and knelt down with a thud, begging for mercy.

"Elder, spare me! I know I was wrong. I was blind to your greatness. Please let me go!"

He absolutely cannot lose the opportunity to become a disciple of the Qingxuan Sect.

The moment he was accepted into the Qingxuan Sect, he already considered himself an immortal.

In the future, they will be able to fly, travel underground, and live forever.

He had long looked down on these ordinary people.

During this time, he looked at his acquaintances in Liufeng City, and even his own parents and relatives, with a sense of superiority.

Now, asking him to go back to being an ordinary mortal is something Lin Tian simply cannot accept.

This is even more painful than killing him.

Chen Ping remained unmoved as he watched Lin Tian kneeling and begging for mercy.

He made this decision not out of personal emotion, but because Lin Tian's character was indeed unsuitable for cultivation.

If people of questionable character are given great power, it will only harm more innocent people.

Helping evildoers is tantamount to aiding and abetting wickedness.

Seeing Lin Tian's discomposure, the city lord of Liufeng City quickly gave an order.

Several guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Lin Tian away.

What if such a rash move really angers the immortals of the Qingxuan Sect?

If the immortals are displeased, they will no longer come to Liufeng City to recruit disciples.

Then he, as the city lord, is a sinner of Liufeng City, a consequence of his own mismanagement.

Chen Ping watched Lin Tian being dragged away, his expression calm and unmoved.

Perhaps because he was already invincible, Chen Ping subconsciously carried the demeanor of a master.

As a master, one naturally wouldn't want to bother with such shady characters.

At that moment, a system notification sounded in Chen Ping's mind.

[Ding! Ye Qingxue has successfully joined the Qingxuan Sect. Congratulations to the host for completing the mission.]

Reward: Breakthrough in cultivation to the first level of Foundation Establishment.

Reward: Natal Spirit Sword: Heaven Slayer (I possess a sword capable of cleaving heaven and earth)

The next moment, as the reward was distributed, Chen Ping's aura suddenly changed, and he broke through from the Great Perfection of Body Tempering to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He had longed for the Foundation Establishment realm, and now he had reached it on his own without needing anyone's help.

There is also the extraordinary lifespan of two hundred years possessed by those at the Foundation Establishment stage.

His face also looked younger than before, and he was even more handsome and extraordinary.

Her temperament also became more refined and otherworldly.

At the same time, Chen Ping had a thought, and a three-foot-long sword appeared in his palm.

My natal spirit sword, cleaves the heavens!

The sword is pure white, with its sharp edge fully exposed, and it carries a powerful aura capable of destroying the world.

Chen Ping examined the Heaven-Slaying Sword in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

He keeps hitting people with his fists; where is the demeanor of a master?

From this day forward, he will become a free-spirited and unrestrained sword immortal.

Then Chen Ping's gaze fell on Ye Qingxue, who was standing to the side.

Chen Ping smiled and nodded at her.

Ye Qingxue returned the glance with a smile, thinking to herself that this senior seemed to have a very good impression of her.

A moment later, Yun Muyao and Wang Qing didn't linger.

He led all the new disciples onto the flying boat, preparing to head to the next location.

The recruitment of disciples is not limited to Liufeng City; there are also several neighboring cities nearby.

The flying boat cut through the sky, freely weaving through the clouds.

Wang Qing and Yun Muyao stood at the front of the flying boat, navigating it to break through the wind.

Chen Ping and a group of newly initiated disciples stood at the rear of the flying boat.

People around him kept glancing at Chen Ping, their eyes filled with questions.

Why doesn't Chen Ping, as an elder in charge, have to be responsible for controlling the flying boat to break through the wind like Yun Muyao and Wang Qing?

Chen Ping felt many eyes on him; in the past, he might have shown impatience.

But now, with its strength greatly increased, it is full of confidence.

He appeared calm and relaxed at that moment.

True masters never concern themselves with such trivial matters.

Such a trivial matter can be left to Yun Muyao and Wang Qing.

Just then, the airship carrying everyone passed through an area, and a strong smell of blood hit them.

Yun Muyao and Wang Qing's expressions immediately changed.

Below was a secular village, now filled with a strong stench of blood.

The village was littered with corpses, a truly gruesome sight.

At the same time, an old figure stood in the village, frantically absorbing the surrounding blood energy.

Wang Qing and Yun Muyao took a closer look and instantly recognized the person's identity.

He's a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect!

Wang Qing roared angrily and leaped off the flying boat.

"How dare you! What kind of fiend dares to act so recklessly within the territory of my Qingxuan Sect?"

The Blood Demon Sect disciple looked at Wang Qing charging towards him and sensed the powerful aura of the Profound Core Realm cultivator emanating from him.

His expression immediately changed drastically, and he hurriedly fled into the distance.

But he was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so how could he possibly outrun Wang Qing, who was at the Profound Core stage?

He was killed by Wang Qing with a single sword strike shortly afterward.

Immediately, the flying boat slowly descended, and Yun Muyao and Chen Ping also stepped off the flying boat one after the other.

Chen Ping narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the devastation in the village.

He was very familiar with the Blood Demon Sect.

When he was seven years old, he was almost slaughtered by the Blood Demon Sect disciples.

If he hadn't met his master, True Lord Tianyang, he probably would have already lost his life.

The Northern Region has four major sects: Qingxuan Sect, Jade Maiden Sect, Great Sun Sect, and Spirit Sword Sect.

Although the Blood Demon Sect is an evil cultivation sect, it is not among the four major sects.

However, its strength is in no way weaker than any of the four major sects.

This is because the Blood Demon Sect possesses an extremely insidious technique that allows them to absorb the essence and blood of living people to enhance their cultivation.

This also allowed the Blood Demon Sect disciples to improve their strength at an extremely rapid pace, in addition to the fact that the Blood Demon Sect's strongholds were extremely well-hidden.

Over the years, if the four major sects hadn't been unable to find his whereabouts, they would have surely joined forces to eliminate him long ago.

Over the years, disciples of the four major sects have frequently been murdered by the Blood Demon Sect, their life essence drained, their deaths gruesome.

The disciples of the four major sects naturally harbored deep hatred for the Blood Demon Sect.

Whenever they encounter a disciple of the Blood Demon Sect, they will surely kill them.

At that very moment, a commotion came from a filthy corner.

Wang Qing and Yun Muyao immediately gripped their spirit swords tightly.
