Shen Ping hurriedly replied, “I’m weak. How would I dare to take those immortal artifacts that don’t belong to me? Furthermore, that Itinerant Immortal senior took action. The spoils of war naturally belong to him.”

This was going to be difficult. If what Xu said was true, how were they going to explain it to the Itinerant Immortals of the foreign races? Were they really going to fight?

Honestly, the human Itinerant Immortals were not prepared. This was because once the final battle began, a few Itinerant Immortals would definitely die. Perhaps they would all die. At this point in their cultivation, ascending to the Heavenly Immortal realm or even climbing to a higher realm was their goal. They did not want to fight to the death with the alien races in Penglai Immortal City.

“What do you think?”

“I’ve used a divine power to observe. This kid doesn’t have the aura of an immortal artifact on him, and his storage treasure isn’t enveloped by an immortal artifact. What he said is probably true.”

“Impossible. Even if there’s really that Itinerant Immortal senior, this person has an immortal artifact.”

“Then there’s only one possibility. Before he came, he hid the immortal artifact.”

“No matter what, we have to answer to the outsiders. I think we might as well hand him over to them to deal with.”

“The foreign race wants an immortal artifact. He doesn’t have an immortal artifact on him. What’s the point of handing it over?”

The Itinerant Immortals in the hall exchanged voice transmissions, but they quickly quarreled. Things were a little different from what they had imagined. They never expected Shen Ping to not have an immortal artifact on him.

Finally, Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling said, “In my opinion, it’s better to hand him over. If the foreign races don’t believe us, they can search his soul. In any case, my Penglai City’s sects can’t take the blame for this.”

The other Itinerant Immortals fell silent before nodding one after another. They did not know this person with the surname Xu, so there was no need to stand up for him at all. Moreover, he did not have an immortal artifact. He was only at the Mahayana Realm. So what if he died?

The discussion came to an end.

Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling immediately informed the Spirit, Devil Clan, and the Flame Clan’s Itinerant Immortals. As for her, she continued to use words to stall Shen Ping. “Fellow Daoist Xu, words are useless. Do you have that Itinerant Immortal senior’s token?”

The corners of Shen Ping’s mouth twitched. Wasn’t she deliberately making things difficult for him? “Senior Hong Ling, you didn’t invite me here to say such nonsense, did you?”

Although Shen Ping’s attitude was very bad and he had even offended an Itinerant Immortal like her, Hong Ling could not be bothered to argue with a dead person. She said indifferently, “Five foreign races’s Tribulation Transcendences have died. This is a huge matter. The various sects in the Penglai Immortal City will figure out the reason so that we can make a decision.”

Shen Ping nodded. “I’ve already made it clear. Senior Itinerant Immortals, how do you plan on handling this matter?”

An Itinerant Immortal looked at Shen Ping and said, “You caused this matter, so you should naturally resolve it!”

Shen Ping smiled and said, “My solution is very simple. That is, if the foreign races want to avenge those who died, they can come to me. In cultivation, the strong prey on the weak. If I die because I’m not strong enough, I can only blame myself. It has nothing to do with others, much less the human sects in the Penglai Immortal City.”

“You’re quite responsible.” Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling said indifferently and said, “In that case, you will explain to the foreign races’ Itinerant Immortals when they come later!”

Although the city was large, with an Itinerant Immortal’s speed, they could arrive in almost a second. And at that moment, the alien Itinerant Immortal had already appeared in front of the Tai Hua Sect’s mountain gate.

Shen Ping narrowed his eyes. “In that case, all the Itinerant Immortals want to hand me over to the alien races to deal with?”

“That’s right.” As she spoke, Itinerant Immortal Hong Ling waved her sleeve and instantly arrived in front of the mountain gate with Shen Ping. She looked at the Itinerant Immortals floating in the sky and said indifferently, “Everyone, he’s here. If you have any questions, you can ask. It’s up to you how you want to deal with him, but this has nothing to do with my Penglai City’s sects. If you want to use this as an excuse to fight, let’s fight over there!”

Swish, swish, swish.

Gazes with extremely powerful divine sense pressure landed on Shen Ping. If it were anyone else, they would probably collapse from the stares of so many Itinerant Immortals. Their thoughts would stop working, but Shen Ping’s expression was calm.

He had not resisted previously. After all, from another perspective, the Itinerant Immortals of the Penglai Immortal City’s various sects were at the front. If not for them, the True Treasure Pavilion and him would not have dared to casually fight the alien races.

But from this moment onwards, he did not owe these Itinerant Immortals anything.

“Hmph, you’re the Mahayana Realm expert behind that True Treasure Pavilion. You’re quite extraordinary. Tell me, who killed the two Tribulation Transcendence experts of my race!” The Itinerant Immortal of the Devil Clan shouted. His voice was like a thunderclap that rumbled towards Shen Ping.

Shen Ping immediately felt that his breathing had stopped, and the soul power in his sea of consciousness was surging. Fortunately, his soul power kept increasing and had long undergone a transformation. Moreover, he had the magical power of the strange beast to protect him, so he did not collapse from the shock. “I killed him!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the human Itinerant Immortals frowned. They did not understand why this Xu wanted to shoulder it himself. Furthermore, no one believed such an answer.

The Devil Clan’s Itinerant Immortal said angrily, “Stop quibbling. If you don’t say anything, I’ll destroy your soul!” As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed it down. A huge energy claw mark instantly condensed in the air, as if it was about to land at any moment.

As for the Spirit Clan’s Itinerant Immortal, he looked at the Devil Clan’s Itinerant Immortal in dissatisfaction. What ability did he have to threaten a Mahayana Realm cultivator? He said, “You must be Fellow Daoist Xu. It’s indeed their fault that our Tribulation Transcendence clansmen coveted your immortal artifact. It’s understandable that they died. However, the immortal artifact on them belongs to our clan. Please hand it over. Our Spirit Clan can spare your life.”

It had to be said that the Spirits were the best at talking. However, Shen Ping did not buy it at all. “I said that I was the one who killed him. If you want to avenge your clansmen and take back your immortal artifacts, you can kill me!” The blood of the strange beast in his body boiled, and the surface of his skin quickly turned green.

“Shit! He’s running!”

Itinerant Immortals had sharp eyes. When they noticed Shen Ping’s change, they immediately tried to stop him. Unfortunately, the talent of the strange beast was not something they could imagine.

Swoosh.

Shen Ping suddenly disappeared on the spot.

The Devil Clan’s energy claw print missed. Many Itinerant Immortals looked at each other. They never expected a Mahayana Realm cultivator to escape under their noses!

“Damn it, chase after him. He definitely can’t run far!”

The Itinerant Immortals snapped back to their senses and were immediately enraged. If they really let such a Mahayana Realm cultivator escape, they would really be embarrassed.

Swish, swish.

Itinerant Immortals were extremely fast. In an instant, they chased out of the Penglai Immortal City. However, before they could sweep their divine senses to lock onto Shen Ping’s aura, a majestic and terrifying aura instantly enveloped them.

“It’s… it’s a Heavenly Immortal!!’¹

“A Heavenly Immortal of the human race!”

The alien Itinerant Immortals were so frightened that their souls flew. Their backs were covered in cold sweat.

The Heavenly Immortal who appeared was the human Immortal Dao experts from the western region’s sea of stars. The Immortal Dao experts of the Devil Clan, Spirit Clan, Flame Clan, and other races were stopped by the defense line and could not come over at all. However, even Heavenly Immortals would not interfere with the lower realm.

“Itinerant Immortals like you cannot attack Mahayana Realm cultivators at will. If you violate it, you will definitely be killed!”

Hearing the Heavenly Immortal’s words, the Itinerant Immortals of the foreign races hurriedly bowed. “Yes, Senior. We will remember it.”

Sensing the disappearance of the Heavenly Immortal’s aura, many Itinerant Immortals heaved a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and came to a realization. So this fellow had a heavenly immortal backing him. It was no wonder he dared to be so arrogant.

“This matter is a little troublesome. The immortals of the upper world have taken action and broken the rules of the lower world. We have to report it to the higher-ups of the immortal Dao in our race.”

“That’s right. Perhaps the Tribulation Transcendence in our clan was killed by a Heavenly Immortal!”

“I don’t think so. If it was really done by a Heavenly Immortal, we would have died just now.”

“Whether it’s true or not, I have to report it as soon as possible!”

These Itinerant Immortals could contact immortal-level seniors in their respective clans.

Hong Ling and the other Itinerant Immortals quickly received the news.

“What? There’s a Heavenly Immortal standing behind this Xu?”

“He hid it too deeply. Why didn’t he say it previously? If he said it, we would protect him even if we had to risk our lives!”

“It’s too late to say anything now. I should think of a way to mend my relationship with him!”

The human sects of Penglai City were filled with regret.

Hong Ling’s expression alternated between green and white. “I should have known.. How can such an immortal artifact be obtained by a Mahayana Realm expert like him? It must have been bestowed by a powerful Itinerant Immortal or even an immortal from the upper world!”
