Chapter 664 Senior Brother
To be honest, Jiang Lanfeng's strength is not as good as Shan Zixing's. The reason she was able to block the rain of arrows just now was because there were fewer of them. But this time there are thousands of them, which will keep her busy.
Of course, Jiang Lanfeng was at least at the mid-stage of the Red Lotus Realm, so he wouldn't be killed by these crossbow bolts; at most, he would just be in a sorry state.
"Sigh... Junior Sister isn't at the late stage of the Red Lotus Realm after all," Shan Zixing said, shaking his head.
As a master in the late stage of the Red Lotus Realm, Shan Zixing was able to barely dodge the crossbow bolts, while Jiang Lanfeng, being slightly weaker, was already struggling to protect himself.
"How dare you hurt my junior sister!"
Just then, a deep voice descended from the sky, echoing continuously in the valley, instilling fear in everyone's hearts.
"Who goes there? Stop playing tricks and get out here right now!" Pang Xingji shouted.
"He's already here!" Lin Ping's heart skipped a beat; he knew something bad was about to happen.
Even with the X-ray function, he could only barely see a white shadow and was unable to capture the other party's movements at all.
In other words, the newcomer's strength surpasses that of Dan Zixing, and he is even unafraid of the crossbow's attack.
Bang bang bang!
The explosives were bound to detonate eventually, and thick smoke billowed from the ground.
"Is he dead?" Pang Xingji twisted his sweat, hoping the enemy was just bluffing.
However, after the thick smoke dissipated, two figures appeared unharmed beside them, their clothes completely free of dust.
Beside Jiang Lanfeng stood a handsome middle-aged man with icy eyes, exuding an imposing aura that was several times stronger than Shan Zixing's.
"Senior brother, is it really you?" Shan Zixing was overjoyed.
If Jiang Lanfeng's appearance was like a straw, then this person's appearance was like a towering mountain.
As long as you hide behind him, you won't have to worry about getting sunburned or rained on.
Whoosh whoosh!
A series of afterimages flashed through the air, and by the time they appeared, they were already gripping Lin Ping's neck.
"Such speed! It's probably already beyond the Red Lotus Realm!" Chu Rujun muttered to herself, speechless, unable to imagine just how strong the opponent was.
"Was it you who destroyed the Lotus Palace's mountain gate?" the white-robed man said coldly.
His fingers, like eagle claws, pinched Lin Ping so hard he couldn't breathe and coughed violently.
"Are you Jiang Lanfeng's senior brother?" Lin Ping asked without fear, his sharp eyes somewhat resembling the other's.
The man in white paused slightly, then sneered, "You know me?"
"I don't know you, but I want to kill you!" Lin Ping said through gritted teeth.
That's an unbeatable answer. Not to mention that Lin Ping's life is in the other party's hands, you don't even know me, so what makes you think you can kill me?
"Want to kill me? Hahaha! You brat, you can't kill me with just words." The man in white was amused by Lin Ping's courage.
"I can't kill you, but you can't kill me either." Lin Ping's defiant gaze was truly infuriating.
"Oh? Tell me why I won't kill you." The man in white wasn't in a hurry to kill Lin Ping, but instead gave him a chance to explain.
"Senior brother, kill him quickly! This fellow is so eloquent, don't fall for his tricks!" Shan Zixing said anxiously.
Although it was his first time meeting Lin Ping, he knew what kind of person Lin Ping was based on the performances of Chu Rujun, Chu Zhifeng, and others.
"Shut up! If you hadn't insisted on harming the court, things wouldn't have turned out this way," the man in white shouted sternly.
Dan Zixing immediately looked like a child who had made a mistake, obediently lowering his head and not daring to utter a word in rebuttal.
“You can indeed kill me easily, but if I die, the army of 100,000 will raze the entire Lotus Palace to the ground. With your martial arts skills, you can certainly protect yourself, but these thousands of Lotus Palace disciples will perish with you. My men will set this place ablaze, burning down the Lotus Palace’s centuries-old foundation!”
"Burn it! Burn it for three days and three nights, burn it until the sky and earth are dark! Hahaha!"
Lin Ping burst into a hearty laugh.
"You're threatening me?" The man in white smiled coldly in return.
"Threats or intimidation, you won't dare kill me anyway," Lin Ping said confidently.
At this moment, he cannot back down; he must show a fearless spirit.
“Very well, you win. I really don’t dare to kill you for the sake of Lotus Palace.” The man in white slowly released Lin Ping’s neck and said softly, “Tell me, how can you let Lotus Palace go?”
Huhuhu~
Lin Ping gasped for breath, feeling incredibly relieved to have survived such a close call.
Chu Rujun and the others breathed a sigh of relief for him, hoping that he would not make any excessive demands, lest the other party take action again.
"It's very simple. Abolish the order, hand over the position of Palace Master of Lotus Palace to my master, and then bring my wife out." Lin Ping stated three demands in a row.
Without saying a word, the man in white went straight to Shan Zixing and gently patted him on the head. The man immediately wilted like a noodle.
"I have crippled most of his martial arts, leaving him only at the Black Lotus Realm. He no longer has the strength to do evil." The man in white continued, "From now on, Chu Rujun is the new Palace Master of the Lotus Palace. Anyone who disagrees can come and argue with me!"
He is the Palace Master's senior brother, and his strength is terrifyingly powerful.
His orders are far more effective than those of a single document; who would dare to disobey?
"Where is your wife? I'm going to rescue her," the man in white continued.
"You agreed just like that?" Lin Ping found it hard to believe.
It wasn't that the man in white was afraid of Lin Ping, but rather that he knew how to assess the situation and didn't want to ruin the entire Lotus Palace.
Furthermore, even if Lin Ping didn't make any demands, he would still cripple Shan Zixing's martial arts skills.
When the Lotus Palace is leaderless, Chu Rujun will truly have the ability to assume the role of Palace Master.
The first two requirements are not requirements at all.
As for the last one, it has nothing to do with the man in white, but he doesn't mind helping Lin Ping.
"It's inside Xuan Yin Peak!" Lin Ping said, pointing to the canyon.
Without a word, the man in white entered the canyon alone, and in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he returned with Jiang Yunying.
"My wife!" Lin Ping cried tears of joy and threw himself into Jiang Yunying's arms.
Jiang Yunying cried her eyes out, never expecting to see Lin Pingxiang again in this lifetime.
"Hey you... my wife's meridians are sealed, can you help her unseal them?" Lin Ping said with a grin.
With the intention of seeing things through to the end, the man in white helped Jiang Yunying break the seal.
"I have fulfilled your request. Now you can retreat, right?" The white-robed man's voice turned cold again.
"Of course." Lin Ping chuckled, his impression of the silver-clad man greatly changed.
Now that the Lotus Palace Master's martial arts have been crippled and many top masters have fallen, the palace no longer has the strength to resist the imperial court.
He had successfully rescued Jiang Yunying, so there was no need to kill them all; he should have retreated as soon as possible.
"Wait! You can't leave!" Jiang Lanfeng's icy voice shattered the harmony.
