Chapter 1013: Showdown
The elders of the various sects present were shocked when they heard this.
When Zhong Haitao left before, although he didn't show it obviously, everyone could see that he was somewhat dissatisfied with the Tianyuan Sword Sect.
How can you go out and completely change your attitude?
Lu Ping'an arched his hand and said: "Elder Zhong said with a smile, this matter was originally caused by my Tianyuan Sword Sect, Brother Situ and the disciples of the Nanyue Sword Sect, you didn't pursue it, Lu is grateful!"
Lu Ping'an's words were not polite, but sincere.
If it weren't for the Tianyuan Sword Sect, it would be impossible for the Shadow Demon to make a move against Situ Deng, and those disciples of the Nanyue Sword Sect would not have died.
I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me!
No matter what, the Tianyuan Sword Sect still bears unshirkable responsibility for this matter, at least in Lu Ping'an's own opinion.
Zhong Haitao has lived a long time, how can he not see the truth in the middle?
However, he did not accuse Lu Ping'an, and sighed and said: "Eliminating demons and defending the Dao is an unshirkable thing for our righteous people, even if we pay for our lives, we will not hesitate! What's more, if it weren't for the help of Master Lu, how could we know that there was a Shadow Demon in the door? Since the Shadow Demon has infiltrated my Nanyue Sword Sect, he must have wanted to do something to us a long time ago!"
Lu Ping'an nodded: "That's right, after Elder Zhong returns to the Wunanyue Sword Sect, he should check it carefully and see if there are any other details, just in case!"
"Master Lu reminded me that Zhong should be in charge!" Zhong Haitao said politely.
Lu Ping'an looked at Mo Yiming, hesitated for a moment and said, "Elder Zhong, there is one more thing, Lu wants to ask you for help, but it is a little difficult to say!"
"Master Lu, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"
Lu Ping'an said with embarrassment: "Although I only have a one-sided relationship with Brother Situ, I also admire him very much, Mo Yiming is the only remaining disciple of Brother Situ, and I ask Elder Zhong to take care of him!"
Zhong Haitao should be something, it turned out that he wanted to talk about Mo Yiming.
This is indeed a bit difficult to say, after all, Lu Ping'an is just an outsider, and let himself, an elder of the Nanyue Sword Sect, take care of the disciples of the Nanyue Sword Sect.
To put it mildly, it can be regarded as interfering in the internal affairs of the Nanyue Sword Sect!
Even if it is not enough for this kind of crime, it is easy for the elders of the Nanyue Sword Sect to wonder if Mo Yiming has taken refuge in Lu Ping'an.
Regarding this point, Lu Ping'an has not thought about it.
Because of this, he chose to speak for Mo Yiming in front of so many people, openly!
Zhong Haitao smiled faintly when he heard this: "Master Lu, please rest assured, from today onwards, Mo Yiming will be personally trained by Zhong!"
"That's very good!" Lu Ping'an smiled and nodded.
After Lu Ping'an finished explaining Zhong Haitao's matter, he turned to Shang Hongfei and said, "Elder Shang, aren't you going to do something to our Tianyuan Sword Sect?"
Shang Hongfei frowned, hesitated, and the horizontal flute in his hand shook slightly.
After all, Lou Deshui served in the imperial court of the Northern Ji Kingdom, and his performance at this time was obviously much better than Shang Hongfei.
He glanced at Zhong Haitao and said mockingly: "Lu Ping'an, I thought you were so strong, it turned out that you would only hide behind others, and you still call yourself a sword saint in vain, it's really ridiculous!"
Lu Ping'an smiled and said, "Master Lou, why don't you hide behind the elder of the Phantom Sound Workshop?
"We are so numerous now, one-on-one with you, am I stupid?" Lou Deshui sneered and rejected Lu Ping'an.
"Oh, is it?" Zhong Haitao asked Lou De Shui coldly.
Lou Deshui said: "Elder Zhong, your Nanyue Sword Sect has always been not nosy, but behind Lu Ping'an, there are remnants of the Demon Sect standing, why do you come to wade into this troubled water?"
"Today's troubled waters, our Nanyue Sword Sect is settled!" Zhong Haitao said, took out his sword, and shouted at everyone, "If anyone wants to deal with the Tianyuan Sword Sect, just stand up, let Zhong meet him for a while!"
As soon as the words fell, Yu Qiu also stood up: "And I, Yu Qiu, who said just now that you want to bully Lu Zhangmen two-on-one? You might as well stand up and let Yu Mou learn your tricks!"
Zhong Haitao looked at Yu Qiu and persuaded: "Senior Brother Yu, your injuries have not healed yet, it is enough to leave it to me alone!"
Yu Qiu shook his head: "Senior Brother Zhong, my life was saved by Master Lu, and now that Master Lu is in trouble, if I stand by and watch, I will be an elder of the Nanyue Sword Sect in vain!"
Shang Hongfei was completely panicked when he saw this: "What, you want to bully the weak?"
When Lu Ping'an heard this, he couldn't help but feel funny, and said mockingly: "Elder Shang, you Phantom Sound Workshop and so many sect elders are not bullying me Tianyuan Sword Sect. Now that my Nanyue Sword Sect Elder has come forward to help us, you think we are bullying, and your Phantom Sound Workshop is really domineering, so you have the final say?"
Shang Hongfei didn't care about this at all, and said, "Lu Ping'an, do you dare to fight me alone and compete with me?"
Lu Ping'an had just said this to Lou Deshui, but Lou Deshui knew that his strength was not comparable to Lu Ping'an, so he did not agree.
However, it reminded Shang Hongfei.
He had already stepped into the peak of the Holy Spirit Realm, and Lu Ping'an was only at the beginning of the Holy Spirit Realm.
You must know that even in the transcendent realm, the initial stage to the peak period is a big gap, and it is easy to overcome.
What's more, now that both of them have entered the Holy Spirit Realm, every small realm is a huge chasm.
In Shang Hongfei's view, in this kind of realm, it is impossible for him to lose.
That's why he made this proposal!
Of course, Lu Ping'an could see his thoughts, but he didn't care, and asked with a smile: "If you lose, what should you do?"
Shang Hongfei said: "Immediately take my disciples from the Phantom Sound Workshop and leave Taifeng Mountain!"
Lu Ping'an shook his head: "Come to my Tianyuan Sword Sect to make a big fuss, and if you lose, you still want to leave unharmed, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"
Shang Hongfei suddenly frowned and asked, "Could it be that you still want my arm?"
Lu Ping'an still shook his head: "What's the use of me asking for a broken arm?, let's do it, if you lose, you will leave the Tianyuan Sword Sect, and the previous accounts of you and my factions will be written off, and from now on, the people of the Phantom Sound Workshop will not be allowed to step into my Tianyuan Sword Sect without permission, how about it?"
Shang Hongfei didn't think about it, so he agreed: "Okay, if you lose, I want you to kneel in front of the mountain gate of my Phantom Sound Workshop until you die!"
As soon as he heard this, he was filled with hatred for Lu Ping'an.
When Zhong Haitao heard this, he hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "Master Lu doesn't have to be reluctant, with Zhong here, today I see who dares to be rude to the Tianyuan Sword Sect!"
What he said was not only for Lu Ping'an, but also for Shang Hongfei and others.
Although Yu Qiu believed in Lu Ping'an's strength, after all, he was injured like himself yesterday, and it was indeed too reluctant to face Shang Hongfei, the peak of the Holy Spirit Realm.
Therefore, he also stood up and persuaded: "Yes, Master Lu, there is no need to be affected by his radical method, it's a big deal to have a good fight today!"
Shang Hongfei was afraid that Lu Ping'an would retreat, so he hurriedly taunted Lu Ping'an and said, "What's the matter?
"Why don't you dare?" Lu Ping'an smiled lightly, "I only hope that Your Excellency will be able to keep your promise after losing!"
"Lose?" Shang Hongfei laughed proudly when he heard this, "You are a Holy Spirit Realm in the early stage, and your realm is not yet stable, you actually think that you can defeat me, the peak of the Holy Spirit Realm, I really don't know where you got the confidence!"
The people behind Shang Hongfei also laughed when they heard this.
Only Lou Deshui had a little worry on his face.
He had seen Lu Ping'an's methods, but he was quite clever. At the beginning, he fought with Lu Ping'an on this Taifeng Mountain, if he hadn't stopped in time, I am afraid that he would have died in the hands of Lu Ping'an!
However, if you think about it carefully, Shang Hongfei's realm is higher than his own, and the Phantom Sound Workshop is one of the best sects in the Eastern Continent, and his cultivation techniques are also higher than his own.
Dealing with a Lu Ping'an should not be a problem.
Thinking of this, Lou Deshui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
When Lu Ping'an heard Shang Hongfei's words, his face was very calm: "I have to admit that your realm is indeed higher than mine, but the realm does not mean everything, otherwise it is simply better than the realm, why bother?"
"Hmph, pretend, there will be a time for you to cry in a while!" Shang Hongfei sneered.
Lin Shixiong knew Lu Ping'an's character, so he did not persuade Lu Ping'an to give up this competition.
It wasn't until this moment that he stood up and reminded Lu Ping'an: "Master, Shang Hongfei is a person from the Phantom Sound Workshop after all, and his strength cannot be underestimated, you must be careful!"
"Don't worry, I know it in my heart!" Lu Ping'an replied with a smile.
Zhong Haitao saw that Lu Ping'an had decided to compete, and stood up and said: "Since the two have decided to compete, then Zhong will be the referee!"
"No!" As soon as he spoke, he was vetoed by Shang Hongfei.
Zhong Haitao frowned and asked, "Why?"
"I don't believe you, Elder Zhong, you yourself just said that Lu Ping'an is your benefactor, who knows if you will favor Lu Ping'an when the time comes?" Shang Hongfei explained.
When Zhong Haitao heard this, he was a little unhappy in his heart: "Elder Shang is doubting Zhong's character?"
"Whatever you think, anyway, you people from the Nanyue Sword Sect can't be referees!" Shang Hongfei was resolute, without any room for negotiation.
Lu Ping'an interjected and asked, "According to what you mean, who is better to be the referee?"
Shang Hongfei pointed at Lou Deshui and said: "I think Lou is not bad, not only strong, but also fair, I guess I won't favor anyone!"
Lu Ping'an felt a little funny, he knew exactly what kind of person Lou Deshui was.
Shang Hongfei is really thick-skinned, and he is embarrassed to say that he is fair, but he is simply talking nonsense with his eyes open.
If he is allowed to be a referee, even if Zhou Hongfei loses, he can say that he has won!
Lu Ping'an naturally wouldn't agree to this kind of thing: "How Lou Deshui targeted me Tianyuan Sword Sect just now, everyone saw it, you let him be the referee, do you think I can trust him?"
Shang Hongfei frowned and asked, "Then you say, who should be chosen as the referee?"
Lu Ping'an thought for a while, pointed to Shang Zhijing and Lao Ping, who were standing on the side of the main hall, and said, "Cloud Sword Gate!"
