Chapter 481 - 481:1 Have to Try (1)
“Why? Are you afraid?” Shen Ping looked at Fairy Luo Xia with a faint smile. When the latter heard that he had the upper hand, her body clearly tensed up a little. Even her eyelashes trembled.
Fairy Luo Xia couldn’t help but say, “That’s the Flame Clan, not the Black Tiger King!”
Although the Black Tiger King was strong, he could not represent the Devil Clan’s branch of Sword Seal City. Killing him would at most provoke the Devil Clan. If he did not take any further action, it could be said that it was a personal grudge of the Black Tiger King. The Devil Clan branch of Sword Seal City naturally would not attack a Mahayana Realm cultivator because of the Black Tiger King.
However, if they attacked the Flame Clan’s caravan, the nature would be completely different. At that time, the True Treasure Pavilion would face the entire Flame Clan branch of Sword Seal City, including Penglai City.
Fairy Luo Xia was very clear about the current situation of the human race. Although their ranking had soared to 1,000, the foundation of the Devil Clan, Spirit Clan, Flame Clan, and other races had already caught up. In the Abyss of Supreme Darkness, the influence of these races far exceeded the human race.
Although many races had begun to recover their relationship with the human race, those were only weak races at the end of the Myriad Spirit Ranking. Once he really fought with those powerful races, then the outcome would be tragic.
Didn’t they see that the various sects and families in Sword Seal City could only be forced to seal their sects in the face of the suppression of the merchant teams of the various races?
Because they all knew the consequences of resisting.
Seeing that Shen Ping did not say anything, Fairy Luo Xia continued, “Pavilion Master Shen, please don’t be rash. Currently, the other races are afraid of your master’s strength, so they haven’t acted rashly. This is mainly because the races are protecting themselves. They don’t want to waste their strength to probe. If we take the initiative to attack, it will definitely incur the anger of the Flame Race of Sword Seal City! With the foundation of the True Treasure Pavilion, it’s impossible for them to withstand such anger.”
Shen Ping still did not speak.
Fairy Luo Xia bit her lip and sighed. “I’m not exaggerating. Let me put it this way. The Flame Race has a total of four branches in Sword Seal City. Every tribe basically has more than ten Void Refinement Realm experts, and there are a total of seven Body Integration Realm experts. Two of them are in the late-stage Body Integration Realm. Most importantly, these branches are all greatly related to the Mahayana Realm cultivators of the Penglai Immortal City.
“Even if the Mahayana Realm cultivators don’t attack, they can still invite more than ten late-stage Body Integration cultivators from the Penglai Immortal City. At that time, they can casually send a few to restrain you and me. Then, the scale that the True Treasure Pavilion has painstakingly developed will disappear overnight.”
Shen Ping said calmly, “Fellow Daoist Yue, do you mean to let our True Treasure Pavilion’s caravan suffer harassment and even lose people?”
Fairy Luo Xia frowned, “The Flame Clan is only testing us. Since we know this news, we can completely avoid it and temporarily stop trading.”
“And? As long as we express our attitude, the Flame Clan will naturally not target our True Treasure Pavilion anymore. What we need now is to develop steadily. Actually, it was a little inappropriate to let other sects join the caravan back then.”
Shen Ping interrupted her and said seriously, “Yue Lingluo, you’ve cultivated for more than ten thousand years to the Perfected Void Refinement Realm. You should understand the true goal of the Spirit Clan, Devil Clan, Flame Clan, and Demon Clan this time. Do you think we can avoid this calamity by compromising and dodging?”
Fairy Luo Xia was silent for a moment before shaking her head. “At the very least, we can buy some time. If it’s really impossible, then leave this place. It’s not too late to return when your cultivation reaches the Mahayana Realm in the future.”
Shen Ping said speechlessly, “You didn’t have such an attitude when you faced the Black Tiger King back then!”
“It’s different. No matter how strong the Black Tiger King is, he’s still one person.” Fairy Luo Xia said earnestly, “Pavilion Master Shen, I know that your master is very strong, but no matter how strong he is, it’s difficult for him to change the situation of the entire Abyss of Supreme Darkness.”
Shen Ping did not refute this. Although his strength had increased greatly and he could use all means to kill late-stage Body Integration cultivators in his enhanced state, he could only escape when facing a Mahayana Realm cultivator or even a Tribulation Transcendence and Itinerant Immortal.
When he was weak, he could compromise. If he chose to avoid the oppression of the foreign races now, he would not be able to pass this barrier in his heart, and he could not swallow his anger.
If he could swallow it, then when the upper echelons of the Devil Clan, Spirit Clan, and Flame Clan sent immortal-level experts to the lower realm to take his life, he could just send himself over.
There was no need to go back and forth.
He stood up. He smiled. “Fellow Daoist Yue, you have your own considerations, but I also have my own persistence. There are some things that you have to try to know the outcome. But don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”
Hearing Shen Ping’s words, Fairy Luo Xia stopped persuading him. Before she left, she reminded him, “Pavilion Master Shen, you have to think about your beautiful wife and concubines.”
In the refining workshop of Sword Seal City. This was where the Flame Clan lived. Due to the harsh environment in which they grew up, most of the Flame Clan members had fire attribute bloodlines. After trading with the humans for a period of time, the Flame Clan gradually learned how to refine weapons and strengthened them.
Now, the entire Dharma artifact industry in the Abyss of Supreme Darkness was almost monopolized by them. The refiners of the human sects could only work for the Flame Race or sell some refinement materials.
The upper echelons of the four Flame Race branches’ Void Refinement Body and Integration Realm experts gathered together to discuss how to deal with the True Treasure Pavilion.
“Hmph, those arrogant and conceited fellows of the Devil Clan have lost their courage because of a human. Our Flame Clan will definitely let the Devil Clan see that our strength is not bragged..”
