Looking at Su Changyu who was in front of them, the members of the Fiendcelestial Cult were stunned.

They even forgot to breathe.

They came here to assassinate geniuses, not to die.

‘Su Changyu is a peerless expert whom only the 72 Earthly Fiends can deal with.’

‘We’re just nobodies who are at the Foundation Establishment realm.’

“Split up, try to survive.”

Finally, a voice sounded and more than ten black figures immediately disappeared in the same place, running hysterically in all directions.

They did not dare to oppose Su Changyu and fled for their lives.

Su Changyu, who was in the alley, was dumbfounded.

‘Just with this?’

‘Didn’t they say that the Fiendcelestial Cult would kill without batting an eyelid?’

‘Didn’t they say that the Fiendcelestial Cult is fearless?’

‘Why did they all run away?’

Su Changyu was stunned, but he soon snapped back to his senses and immediately ran towards the exit of the city in a bid to meet Ye Ping outside the city.

At the same time, in Qingzhou Ancient City.

Ye Ping ran all the way. No one expected the Fiendcelestial Cult to suddenly attack.

Although Li Yu had mentioned the Fiendcelestial Cult before, Ye Ping did not expect the Fiendcelestial Cult to dare to enter the city and attack.

Li Yu had once talked about the Fiendcelestial Cult in detail.

The Fiendcelestial Cult was very powerful and it was a sect that even the Ten Nations were wary of. The powerhouses in the sect were all devout believers of the Fiendcelestial and they wouldn’t bat an eyelid when killing others. Torturing others was what they liked most, as expected of a heretic cult.

It was because they had to absorb the five grievances of beings, so as to refine sinister weapons or cultivate heretic cultivation methods.

Hence, Ye Ping was a little scared.

He came to cultivate immortality as a human being, not to subdue demons. Hence, he decided to let the saints do such things instead because he didn’t want to get involved.

Thinking of this, Ye Ping felt a little upset.

All of a sudden, he couldn’t help but recall the experiences that he had been through in the past three years.

After transmigrating to the world of immortal cultivation, he missed his fate to cultivate immortality and studied hard. He woke up extremely early and slept in the wee hours of the night, all for the sake of getting more time to study and get a good ranking.

However, after achieving some success after painstaking efforts, Heaven played a huge prank on him and made him find out that it was a world of immortal cultivation.

“Excellent!”

He decided to just accept it since he was still young anyway. He would be able to work hard even in his twenties.

However, the result was that he lacked talent for immortal cultivation and repeatedly encountered problems that hampered him and resulted in multiple failures. He went from the favored one to a nobody whom all immortals rejected.

Finally, by mistake, he managed to join what he thought was a secretly impressive sect and even thought that Heaven had finally given him a way out.

However, he didn’t expect to have such poor aptitude, so much that he could not cultivate anything properly and only managed to barely comprehend a few sword moves. He thought that he could make a name for himself at the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet and become an official disciple.

Yet, the same thing happened again.

At the thought of this, Ye Ping’s mood got worse and he became even more frustrated. Finally, he developed some resentment.

Smack!

In the next moment, Ye Ping, who was running madly, smacked his head hard. It was the Golden Light of Expiation.

Ye Ping felt much better and the resentment that just arose vanished instantly too.

“Don’t think so much about it, just escape to the sect first. Sect Leader and Eldest Senior Sister are right, the world is in chaos now and I’d better hurry back to the sect. I should just study hard and wait until I reach the Greater Mastery realm before going down the mountain to pretend to be impressive.”

Ye Ping’s thoughts were clear after he calmed himself down and planned to go back to the sect first and learn the skills taught to him by his Senior Brothers, lest he ran into such circumstances again.

Ye Ping was in the midst of deciding on his following plan.

All of a sudden, five men in black suddenly appeared.

The two of them looked at each other.

In the next second, the men in black suddenly spoke up.

“He’s Ye Ping, one of the top three in the Qingzhou Sword Dao Meet and our top target.”

In an instant, the five of them looked at Ye Ping warily while holding onto the sanguine-colored knife.

For a moment, they hesitated.

After all, they might have come over to assassinate geniuses, but if they tried to fight with brute force despite being incapable, that would just be retarded.

However, before they could think clearly, Ye Ping turned around and fled.

Su Changyu’s teachings were still fresh in his memory and he would flee regardless of what he encountered.

“Lord, what should we do?”

Someone couldn’t help but ask when they saw Ye Ping running away.

“What else can we do? Chase. He ran as soon as he saw us, he’s probably not that strong. Besides, his realm is at most at the first level of the Qi Refinement. I reckon he’s the type that sells his reputation. His bounty is worth plenty of credit. Brothers, we’re going to make a windfall.”

The people analyzed attentively with joy in their eyes.

After the rest of the people heard that they would be receiving plenty of merits, they smiled and chased after Ye Ping.

Just like that, in less than half an hour’s time, Ye Ping encountered another group of Fiendcelestial Cult members.

“He is Ye Ping, he’s worth 3,000 credit badges. Brothers, chase after him.”

“Great, so many people are chasing him, brothers, let’s chase him too.”

“Damn it, why are these geniuses so good at dodging? Look at that guy, is he Ye Ping? It seems like he is. Don’t kill these good-for-nothings. Hurry up and chase him. His life is more valuable than the others.”

“Damn it, you bastards, I set my sights on Ye Ping first. What do you guys mean?”

“What do you mean you set your sights on him first? The sect rules are that the credit goes to the person who kills him. Since you guys are not going to chase after him, why are you stopping us?”

In the Qingzhou Ancient City, something that made the crowd dumbfounded happened.

A human shuttled through the ancient city quickly while the dozens of men in black vied with each other to chase them.

In front of the crowd.

Ye Ping looked extremely dismayed, as if he had just eaten a dead rat.

He really did not know what to say. No matter where he went, he would definitely run into Fiendcelestial Cult members.

Besides, the Fiendcelestial Cult members were all staring at him.

He turned around to look at the Fiendcelestial Cult followers who were chasing after him.

‘Is there something wrong with you?’

‘There are so many geniuses, why aren’t you chasing after them? Why are you chasing after me instead?’

‘Please, go after others, not me.’

Ye Ping was about to vomit blood.

‘Eldest Senior Brother is the true genius.’

‘Sikong Jiantian is a genius too. Why are you chasing me instead? Anyone would vomit blood if they were in my place.’

Fortunately, they finally arrived at the city gate.

As long as he left the Qingzhou Ancient City, he would be able to go anywhere he wanted!

Thinking about this, Ye Ping gritted his teeth and opened the ten Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures. The surging spiritual energy enhanced his body and made the speed increase by several times.

The city protection array formations of Qingzhou Ancient City had already been activated, and thus Sword Kinesis Flight was prohibited. Ye Ping had no choice but to run on foot.

The Fiendcelestial Cult believers behind him were dumbstruck.

“How can this kid run so fast?”

“Damn it, is this the speed that a Level 1 Qi Refinement cultivator should have?”

“I must catch this kid today. Brothers, the faster he runs, the more it proves that he lacks confidence. As long as we catch him, we’ll be living in the lap of luxury in the future.”

“Brothers, I’m going to charge.”

“Charge! Charge! Charge!”

“Charge!”

The dozens of Fiendcelestial Cult followers immediately swallowed pills that gave their speed a boost before chasing Ye Ping.

However, at this moment, Ye Ping suddenly saw an acquaintance.

Yes, it was an acquaintance.

Li Changye.

Not far away, Li Changye was walking down the street with his sword, seemingly searching for some target. However, at this moment, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

“Brother Li, hurry up and run!”

“There are people chasing us!”

Ye Ping didn’t have time to say much and could only hurriedly give that reminder.

In an instant, before Li Changye could regain his senses, Ye Ping brushed past him like a gust of wind.

Soon, the dozens of Fiendcelestial Cult followers couldn’t help but look at Li Changye.

However, the people soon started talking.

“Don’t mind the others, this is just a nobody, chase and kill Ye Ping.”

“Yes, chase Ye Ping and kill him, ignore the others.”

“Ye Ping alone trumps hundreds of geniuses. We will never be able to earn 3,000 credit badges in our lifetime. Kill Ye Ping!”

The voices sounded one after another.

Li Changye, who was at the side, was stunned.

‘A nameless nobody?’

‘Another one who calls me a nameless nobody.’

“Ah!”

‘Ye Ping, I have no grudge against you, but you have repeatedly humiliated me, and this time you even got these bastards to gang up and humiliate me again!”

‘I will kill all of you! Ahhhh!’

Li Changye was infuriated. Just as he raised his sword, he vomited blood in anger.

At this moment, Ye Ping finally arrived at the East City Gate.

The chance to escape was right in front of him.

However, Ye Ping did not have the time to relax.

Not far away, there was a large crowd of Fiendcelestial Cult followers who were surging over from all directions. There were at least a few thousands of them, which was several times the followers behind him.

‘Wow.’

At this moment, Ye Ping couldn’t help but curse.

The dozens of Fiendcelestial Cult followers behind him coupled with the thousands in front of him left him with no resort.

“Guys, hurry up and catch him. This person is the top three in the Sword Dao Meet. He’s worth 3,000 credit badges. I can’t run anymore, hurry and catch up with him.”

Behind him, there was a Fiendcelestial Cult follower who really couldn’t run anymore, but he didn’t want to let the other group reap the benefits. Hence, he hollered and urged the Fiendcelestial Cult followers who were entering the city.

Outside the East City Gate.

There were already hundreds of Fiendcelestial Cult followers who were getting ready to enter the city. After hearing those words, they couldn’t help but be stunned.

Soon, hundreds of pairs of eyes were staring deadly at Ye Ping.

That gaze was similar to when a peerless demon saw a prey and wished that they could kill Ye Ping with their gaze.

Sensing the gazes that were cast on him, Ye Ping was flustered.

All the Immortal Apertures were opened and all his Dharmic powers were used on his legs. At this moment, Ye Ping was as fast as lightning and crossed the city gate.

He then headed all the way to the west.

Why didn’t he use the Sword Kinesis Flight?

Well, Ye Ping didn’t know how to!

Su Changyu had never taught him to use the Sword Kinesis Flight so he could only rely on his legs.

“Chase after him!”

“Don’t let him go!”

“Kill him!!!”

The voices were deafening.

After the hundreds of people saw that Ye Ping actually did not use the Sword Kinesis Flight, they panicked even more. In their eyes, Ye Ping was just like a fat sheep.

As long as he was caught, they would be given a large amount of merit.
