Chapter 365 Seeking Help, An Opportunity to Advance to the Nascent Soul Stage
Chapter 365 Seeking Help, An Opportunity to Advance to the Nascent Soul Stage
Li Ping glanced indifferently at Wei and Feng.
He was not surprised that the two had appeared in Lingxiao City.
After all, the Great Harmony Society even accepted notorious cultivators like the Four Fiends of the East Sea, so there's no reason why they wouldn't accept Wei Yiling and Feng Xishuang, who have much better reputations and whose cultivation has already reached the mid-stage of Core Formation.
For the Datong Society, the more of these cost-free cannon fodder mercenaries, the better.
For the two of them, the choice between perishing or joining the Great Harmony Society was not difficult.
So he had heard that the two of them had gone to the Demon Slayer Bureau to collect the bounty for "annihilating the Four Fiends of the East Sea".
He guessed that either the two were lucky enough not to encounter any high-level cultivators from the Datong Society, or they had already joined the Datong Society under coercion from high-level cultivators.
Now that he heard Wei Yiling's words, he was certain that both of them were members of the Datong Society, and that Wei Yiling was even trying to pull him into the Datong Society as well.
However, he had no interest in joining even a normal Nascent Soul sect, let alone joining this clandestine "Datong Society" and doing dirty work for others.
Therefore, when faced with Wei Yiling's telepathic message, he simply replied indifferently, "I don't know."
He then lifted his foot and walked outside, but Wei Yiling moved gracefully and blocked his way: "That's not right, Fellow Daoist Li. Since you searched that person's soul and deliberately left the Great Harmony Token to me and Shuangmei, how could you not know about the Great Harmony Society?"
Li Ping looked up and met her furious gaze. After a moment of silence, he said calmly, "Since Fellow Daoist Wei already knows, why ask again?"
"I……"
Wei Yiling was about to say something more when she saw Li Ping walk past her and leave Caibaixuan, completely ignoring her.
Seeing that Li Ping's figure had disappeared into the distance, Wei Yiling hesitated for a moment, but in the end she stamped her foot and pulled Feng Xishuang to chase after him.
When they arrived at the riverside cave, they found Li Ping standing at the entrance waiting for them. He said calmly, "Speak, what do you want with me?"
Core Formation cultivators are not kindergarten children; they have their own dignity, especially a demonic enchantress like Wei Yiling, whose personality is extremely arrogant.
If she were simply being questioned about Li Ping's actions, she wouldn't be wasting her time like this. Just like when she tricked Li Ping before, he only secretly laid a trap and didn't make a scene openly.
Now, Wei Yiling not only went to Cai Baixuan to intercept him, but also followed him to the riverside cave. There is only one reason for this: she needs Li Ping's help.
Upon hearing Li Ping's words, Wei Yiling's expression froze for a moment before she smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, my sister and I have already joined the Great Harmony Society. Would you be interested in joining? As a Nascent Soul level force, the Great Harmony Society offers many benefits upon joining—"
Before she could finish speaking, Li Ping coldly interrupted her: "I'm not interested. Do you have anything else to say?"
Hearing Li Ping's resolute refusal, Wei Yiling fell silent. After a long while, she sighed and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, why are you so heartless? I am but a weak woman. I merely forged the sealing jade slip to provoke you into helping me. You have taken all the treasures from the Four Fiends, while my sister and I have been forced to join the Great Harmony Society and lost our freedom. Isn't that enough to appease you?"
Upon seeing Wei Yiling, he not only changed his way of addressing himself but also adopted a weak and vulnerable demeanor, attempting to evoke her sympathy.
Li Ping was now even more certain that she needed his help.
"Fellow Daoist Wei, you misunderstand. I've already said that we're even," Li Ping said calmly. "I'm not angry. I'm just stating my thoughts. Alright, if you have nothing else, please leave. I need to cultivate."
Faced with Li Ping's resolute decision, Wei Yiling's face turned pale and then red. She was about to turn around and leave, but when she saw Feng Xishuang beside her, she stopped herself from doing so.
She herself didn't care; at worst, she would just die. But she couldn't be indifferent to Shuangmei.
Thinking of this, her attitude softened: "Fellow Daoist Li, I have indeed come to you with a request. May I come inside to speak with you?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the door behind Li Ping.
Li Ping was about to refuse, but then he suddenly heard Wei Yiling's voice transmission in his ear, and his expression changed: "In that case, please come in, fellow Daoists."
The three sat facing each other in the pavilion, and Wei Yiling then told him everything.
Li Ping listened and nodded.
It turned out that after the two women received the Great Harmony Token from Li Ping, they indeed found the lair of the Four Fiends of the East Sea in the mirage and planned to build their own cave there.
Unexpectedly, a Nascent Soul cultivator in disguise arrived suddenly, subdued the two, and told them directly that they either had to join the Great Harmony Society and serve him, or they would die.
Even ants cherish life, let alone Core Formation cultivators.
Faced with the threat of death and left with no other choice, they had no choice but to join the Great Harmony Society and allow the Nascent Soul cultivator to set restrictions on their souls.
Finally, Wei Yiling solemnly said, "Fellow Daoist Li, rest assured, my sister and I have taken full responsibility for killing the Four Fiends of the East Sea. The Nascent Soul cultivator from the Great Harmony Society is unaware of your involvement."
Li Ping nodded; he had already understood after the soul search.
Nascent Soul cultivators are high above others, holding extremely high positions. The peripheral members of the Great Harmony Society are merely his lackeys.
Only lackeys serve their masters; how could a master care whether a lackey lives or dies?
The reason that Nascent Soul cultivator appeared on the Spirit Island in the Mirage was probably mostly to investigate what had happened, rather than to avenge the Four Fiends.
Therefore, even if he knew that Li Ping was involved, he would not go out of his way to deal with Li Ping.
Unless Li Ping directly falls into his hands, he will probably take the opportunity to coerce Li Ping into becoming his new lackey.
Therefore, Li Ping didn't really care whether he was exposed or not, but he could sense Wei Yiling's deliberate attempt to please him from her words.
Wei Yiling gritted her teeth and said, "I know that Fellow Daoist Li is a high-level array master, so I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Li to help my sister and me break the restrictions within our souls."
Li Ping glanced at Wei Yiling, knowing that this was the reason why she had followed him all the way from Caibaixuan to the riverside cave.
He didn't rush to refuse, but looked at Wei Yiling and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist Wei, you just said in your voice transmission that you have an opportunity related to advancing to the Nascent Soul stage for me. I wonder what it is."
Even if he has the ability to break the restriction, that restriction was set up by a Nascent Soul cultivator, and if he dares to break it, it would be equivalent to provoking a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Not to mention that he had long severed ties with Wei and Feng, even if that incident hadn't happened, he wouldn't dare to provoke a Nascent Soul cultivator for Wei Yiling's sake.
Unless, Wei Yiling truly has an opportunity to advance to the Nascent Soul stage.
Otherwise, the two of them should just pray for their own good fortune.
