Chen Ping's Sword
Chapter 311 - 161: Divine Udumbara Incense, Red Lotus Karma Fire (Part 3)
Seizing inheritance, slaughtering disciples...
Had I not come, after today, whether Primordial Mountain would still have Primordial Sect is uncertain.
That Grandmaster Granny, said to be at the limit of longevity and about to ascend, might be harmed by them, dying with lingering grievances.
Against such opponents, what’s there to be said? Just pick up a sword and do it.
And the result?
Killed a person, said stop and stopped, not only stopped, but surprisingly felt lazy.
Like a spring afternoon, just had a full meal, wanting to have a good rest, totally uninterested in fighting and killing.
’The aroma seems peculiar? Primordial Golden Body Technique didn’t alert me.
The mind is active, the Divine Soul is extremely clear, thoughts are racing, what kind of fragrance is this?’
Since Chen Ping’s "apprenticeship" completion, he hasn’t been too concerned about whether the opponents’ weapons are poisoned, or about poison smoke or wine.
Because he had already tested, no matter how potent the poison, as long as it harms the body,
the Primordial Golden Body Technique would react immediately and automatically detoxify.
Unexpectedly, he was unknowingly affected this time.
Feeling his movements slowed countless times, Chen Ping’s face changed dramatically.
"Despicable..."
"Shameful, actually poisoned?"
"Yann Fu, you’ve become increasingly depraved, resorting to any means?"
Shouts echoed all around.
All disciples of the Primordial Sect’s expressions changed.
Clearly, they all noticed the aroma was abnormal.
And discovered the strangeness affecting themselves.
...
In the Seven Stars Meridian crowd, the young man with the straw hat laughed heartily, lifted his hat, and stepped out from the crowd, revealing a shiny bald head...
This person had slanted brows, narrow eyes, a long red mark on his brow, like a third eye.
A face glowing with treasure-like brilliance, dignified demeanor, appearing not too old yet having the solemnity of a high monk.
"Tang Lin’er!"
"Earth List Number One..."
"Why do Dharma Aspect Sect disciples attack Primordial Sect?"
No wonder he wore a straw hat; once this person shows his face, he’s recognized like a golden beetle in the field, impossible to hide.
Sunx Yun’s face darkened, knowing today’s calamity might be unavoidable. He stopped his disciples’ curses and said painfully: "Ten Directions elder, considered a great virtue, although defeated by the fifth generation Grandmaster, it was a fair fight at the time, whoever won or lost couldn’t be blamed.
Unexpectedly, you’re sent to commit such vile acts.
Not only conspiring with Seven Stars Meridian to rebel but secretly poisoning, plotting against my Primordial inheritance..."
"Sect Leader Sunx, you’re wrong; my master is indeed virtuous, never having vengeful thoughts... but things need an explanation.
My master was injured by unrivaled Sword Gang Stream Sword Qi, bedridden for a hundred years. He doesn’t want revenge, but I, being his last disciple, do not agree.
Even though your Primordial Sect has now declined, I have no interest in stomping further... However, seeing you distressed is still pleasing and delightful."
Tang Lin’er stood there, with a palm upright on his chest, speaking eloquently, clearly talking about sordid tactics and vile thoughts, yet appeared open and righteous.
It seemed like what he did was not wrong, but justified.
"Also, what you encountered wasn’t poison, but our sect’s nourishing Secret Fragrance [Utpala Fragrance], this aroma poses no harm to the body, merely allowing one’s body to die but the spirit to live, better understanding Buddhist mysteries.
Do you feel that, in this time, you have gained new understandings of Sword Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, Martial Arts previously hard to grasp or learn? Hence, this is a treasure, used here as a courtesy to one of the Four Daoist Sects..."
Tang Lin’er bowed his head, looking compassionately, murmured a Buddhist chant, then said: "In Utpala Fragrance, attaining bliss is many monks’ desire, now it’s benefiting you. Everyone, aren’t you going to act? Waiting for the fragrance to dissipate would be bothersome."
"By the way, you must be Chen Ping, heard you in Xingqing Prefecture caused quite a stir. Not only slaughtered the Thirteenth Prince of Beizhou and his followers but also defeated the Cui Family, snatched the Azure Dragon Seal, the height of prestige..."
Tang Lin’er said a few words, then turned to Chen Ping, with amused eyes, smilingly asked.
"Rumor has it your Dharma Aspect Sect fully supports Beizhou, perhaps Brother Tang also wants to serve Hu people, intent on taking the Azure Dragon Seal from me, or avenging the Thirteenth Prince?"
Chen Ping retorted, his gaze unfriendly.
This person is widely known, Earth List Number One, implying he’s the most respected under the Grandmaster level.
If he had formally come to attack the mountain, Chen Ping would have esteemed him a bit more, believing he deserved such a reputation, showing demeanor and style.
Yet, this guy sneakily, not only hidden, infiltrated Primordial Sect but also played underhanded tricks, using exotic poison fragrance, claiming I should feel honored for being poisoned...
Such a demeanor is hard to tolerate.
"The Azure Dragon Seal is so precious, through a twist of fate, it fell into your hands, the treasure is tarnished. I find it intolerable, just want to borrow it for fun, do you mind?"
Tang Lin’er’s face darkened, obviously, Chen Ping’s remark about him serving Hu people stabbed his heart, a cold gleam rose deep in his eyes, "As for Beizhou, good birds select trees to nest; our Dharma Aspect Sect is merely collaborating with them, not serving them.
But you, lowly ant, dare speak arrogantly, truly seeking death?"
His face grew stern, the red pattern on his brow seemed to radiate, he stepped across seven meters, leaping in mid-air.
Reaching in front of Chen Ping, fiery red lotus surged in his palm, as he struck with it.
Palm stretched wide, air burned, trees scorched, grassy earth turned into raging fire slurry...
Mountain temperature skyrocketed, like this elegant mountain scene turned into a volcanic lava.
"Red Lotus Karmic Fire Palm!"
A chorus of startled cries arose.
