The Purple Jade Celestial Python naturally understood Lu Ping’s intention in doing this; he simply wasn’t worried about it escaping.
He let it out openly.
With no fear whatsoever.
To have reached the Nascent Soul Stage and transford into a Flood Dragon, this Purple Jade Celestial Python wasn’t foolish. It knew that if Lu Ping could cast the Void Cage once, he could easily cast it a second ti.
Faced with an opponent of this level, if it made the mistake of using instant teleportation to escape, the result would be obvious.
Escape was certainly not an option.
Originally, the instant teleportation technique possessed by Nascent Soul creatures, generally speaking, would be unstoppable even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator of the sa tier went all out.
Therefore, Nascent Soul instant teleportation also has the na of the Escape Technique, which is crucial for an exemplary escape at critical monts.
However, this instant teleportation technique was ineffective before Lu Ping at this ti, being restrained.
No matter how much it struggled, it couldn’t escape Lu Ping’s grasp and could only beco fish at, no match for Lu Ping.
So now the only way forward was negotiation.
If it went all out, it would likely only end up being slain.
With this in mind, the Purple Jade Celestial Python slowly cald down, faced Lu Ping’s gaze, glanced at Liu Taixuan and the others, and slowly said, "I indeed have sothing to say."
Having made its attitude clear, the Purple Jade Celestial Python still used the Vast Heaven Mirror to protect itself, staring directly at Lu Ping with utmost vigilance.
Adjusting its tone slightly to seem less aggressive, it slowly said, "This action was not my true intention; it was the suggestion of that Earth Fire Rock Lion."
"When I discovered it, it was already leading the spirit beasts eastward, acting arbitrarily against my orders."
"So, this matter was not initiated by . That Earth Fire Rock Lion has already been decapitated by you, paying the necessary price. I think this matter should end here."
Saying this, the Purple Jade Celestial Python took a step back, looked at Lu Ping and the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs, and said, "Let’s end this matter here. I will now make the spirit beasts retreat to the Southern Wilderness, forbidding them from stepping out of it."
"Until the ti of the next battle cos."
The words were spoken with a resounding clarity.
Not only Lu Ping and the others, but even Zhang Nianchuan, Xuu Yi, the disciples of the Nine Cold Mountain, and the Heaven-Facing Sect heard it clearly.
From the attitude of the Purple Jade Celestial Python, it was evident to any discerning person that it was intimidated by Lu Ping’s strength, forced to retreat.
It was a typical case of yielding to strength.
The ti it ntioned for the next battle easily referred to the next centennial Demon Beast Tide.
What troubled them was the question of whether this large-scale Demon Beast Tide was really as the Purple Jade Celestial Python claid, solely the suggestion of the Earth Fire Rock Lion?
Had it secretly gathered a beast tide to launch an attack on the Chu Kingdom?
Unlikely.
A grand Nascent Soul Stage Demon Emperor having such a large scale action under its command without being aware of it seed impossible.
Only a fool would believe that.
Now with the Earth Fire Rock Lion slain and nothing left to verify, the Purple Jade Celestial Python could say whatever it wanted. As long as it could fool them, it was fine.
What Xuu Yi and others could discern, clarifying the true from the false within it, how could Lu Ping, Elder Jiang, Liu Taixuan, and the other Nascent Soul True Monarchs not see it?
This Purple Jade Celestial Python, while having great strength, was still far from the shrewdness of the Human Race when it ca to intellect.
Such baseless claims were full of loopholes; who would believe them?
As soon as it finished speaking, Lu Ping and the others appeared with unwavering gaze, remaining silent, but the atmosphere was extraordinarily tense, seeming as though a fight would break out at any mont.
With a cold snort in its heart, the Purple Jade Celestial Python forced a smile on its face, not desiring to linger any longer.
"Ladies and gentlen, sorry for the disturbance."
With a gesture of courtesy, it imdiately issued a command for the million-strong beast tide below to retreat into the Southern Wilderness forest.
The beast tide received the command and swiftly started moving out grandly.
The Purple Jade Celestial Python itself turned to retreat quickly, unwilling to engage further.
This ti, leading the army of demon beasts, it indeed harbored the ambition of sweeping across the cultivation realm of the Chu Kingdom and then annexing most of Lingxi State.
It was precisely because of its recent surge in strength, along with its successful refinent of the Vast Heaven Mirror, that it dared to openly tear up the treaty signed with Lingxi State and lead out the Demon Beast Tide.
The previous declaration was rely an excuse, fooling these Human Race Cultivators.
As for the claim that the Earth Fire Rock Lion acted without its consent, who would dare without its approval?
"Did I permit you to leave?"
Just as the Purple Jade Celestial Python was coldly mocking in its heart, thinking it had duped Lu Ping and the others, a cold voice rang out.
With a swoosh sound.
As soon as Lu Ping’s voice fell, with a wave of his sleeve, space ripples spread out for ten thousand feet with Lu Ping at the center.
The Xuanyuan Sword Form unfurled again, this ti encapsulating not just the Purple Jade Celestial Python but also Elder Jiang and the four other Nascent Soul True Monarchs.
"You..."
Seeing the sudden appearance of spatial fluctuations around, and hearing Lu Ping’s question, the Purple Jade Celestial Python looked back to see the space cage condensing once more, with an expression of concern.
"Don’t push your luck."
With a low roar, unwilling to sit idly by, the Purple Jade Celestial Python frantically activated the Vast Heaven Mirror in its hand, gathering intense light on the mirror’s surface.
In the blink of an eye, a blazing Vast Heaven Divine Light surged out, the size of a bucket’s mouth, quickly shooting forward.
Boom.
The barrier of the Void Cage was condensing, taking this hit squarely, resounding with a dull roar, with light shattering.
However, what changed the face of the Purple Jade Celestial Python was that when the light dimd, gazing intently, the void barrier had not only not been broken, but had already solidified.
What kind of technique could seal off space and form such a firm barrier that even Spiritual Treasures couldn’t break?
In an instant, the Void Cage fully ford, sealing the Purple Jade Celestial Python tightly within, turning it into a trapped beast.
"Where do you think you’re going?"
Lu Ping spoke coldly, just as the Purple Jade Celestial Python was frantically maneuvering the Vast Heaven Mirror, trying to launch even fiercer attacks, repeatedly bombarding.
At this mont, everyone saw Lu Ping’s sleeve wave, and a large sleeve appeared horizontally in the sky, not large in volu, about fifteen or sixteen feet in size.
However, the powerful aura emanating from the sleeve had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.
This was the Universe in the Sleeve.
Deciding to intercept the Purple Jade Celestial Python this ti, Lu Ping decided to disarm its Spiritual Treasure first.
As the sleeve shot through the air, emitting a powerful aura, the Purple Jade Celestial Python’s expression drastically changed, quickly using its innate divine technique to escape to one side, leaving an afterimage in its original position.
It escaped the sweep of the Qiankun Sleeve in a flash.
"Celestial Python Barrier Technique."
"An innate divine technique of the Purple Jade Celestial Python."
As the Purple Jade Celestial Python used this technique, Elder Jiang recognized the origin of the move.
