The voice crashed down like thunder.
In this Commandery Governor's residence, which was obviously not in a remote location, it naturally attracted countless gazes.
However, at this moment, Cui Jianxing, holding his longsword, clearly did not care about this.
In fact, earlier, he had already been able to confirm that there was indeed a problem with Gu Ping.
It was just that he would only decide whether or not to make a move against this guy after confirming that stinky brat's situation!
Within the courtyard, the young male servants and attendants looked in horror at that figure high in the sky.
It was not until that figure dressed entirely in white walked out of the courtyard that Gu Ping's face showed not the slightest bit of panic or trepidation.
He looked at Cui Jianxing with a smile: "Lord Cui, why have you come so aggressively? Could it be that, because the superior official has arrived, you are blaming this humble one for not giving the superior official a greeting gift?"
These teasing words caused Cui Jianxing's face to turn even colder.
He looked at Gu Ping:
"Lord Gu, if you are willing to realize your errors and return from the wrong path, then I, Cui, might still be able to let you live a while longer. How about it?"
"Lord Cui, I wonder what sin this humble one has actually committed? This humble one is terrified!"
The smile at the corners of Gu Ping's mouth did not fade in the slightest.
In fact, within his eyes, one could perhaps even see a faint trace of teasing intent.
Cui Jianxing exhaled a deep breath, and then finally spoke no more nonsense: "Obstinate and unrepentant!"
The instant his voice fell, Cui Jianxing violently waved his hand. The longsword in his hand transformed into an incomparably pure sword light, chopping straight down towards Gu Ping's head!
And this Commandery Governor, who in the eyes of everyone in all of Lin'an was nothing but a decoration and a mascot, simply reached out his hand.
His fingers were as lustrously white as jade. Facing that terrifying sword light that had seemingly materialized into substance, he simply reached out his hand and lightly pinched!
Cui Jianxing's pupils shrank slightly.
Even if he had suspected that this Gu Ping's strength was not weak, he had not expected it to have reached this degree!
Under the pinch of those two fingers, that sword light instantly burst apart.
And at this moment, Gu Ping no longer disguised himself either. He let out a long sigh, and subsequently, snow-white true essence spread out from his entire body. An incomparably pure-white lotus flower encircled his entire body.
Within the lotus flower, it was as if a series of clear, crisp sounds rang out. This sound was just as if something was crying out eerily.
Afterward, from within the lotus flower, snow-white lotus-root-like arms and palms stretched out one by one. This weird dharma idol caused Cui Jianxing's pupils to shrink:
"Indeed a big fish!"
As his voice fell, true essence surged, and a dharma idol of mountains, rivers, and stars appeared with it.
Those sky-filling stars even caused the originally brightly lit firmament to dim a bit at this moment.
This scene, in just an instant, made everyone involuntarily look towards the southern part of Lin'an City.
"A top-tier expert has made a move!"
"The heavens and earth change color! The nascent form of a dharma idol! It is at the very least a Grandmaster expert!"
"Could it be that the Fourteenth Young Lady is fighting with someone?"
Countless knowledgeable people spoke in shock, involuntarily heading in that direction.
In this Jianghu, no matter the time or place, experts of the Grandmaster Realm were not so easily seen. Not to mention that, looking at this posture, it was clearly a situation of a life-and-death struggle.
However, the two people on the field did not care about this in the slightest. Gu Ping looked at Cui Jianxing with a cold smile, then raised his eyebrows slightly:
"You are injured? Hehe, Lord Cui, even if you were in perfect condition, you would not be my match. Where is that Eunuch Chen? The two of you should attack together!"
As his voice fell, he reached his hand out directly. That anomaly of the Thousand-Hand White Lotus gradually condensed. At this moment, it unexpectedly seemed to slowly turn into a physical entity.
Cui Jianxing's pupils abruptly shrank. He no longer hesitated in the slightest and slashed out with his sword!
White lotus petals completely enveloped and blocked it.
However, at the same time, a pitch-black, deep purple shadow indeed came swiftly from the horizon!
That originally solid white lotus was directly torn open by these sharp claws!
At some unknown point, Chen Wujiu, his face completely calm, was already standing to the side. His gaze looked toward that residence.
Almost at the same time, a black-robed figure also followed out.
The Gold-Tracing Envoy's brows furrowed. Underneath that indistinct face, he gritted his teeth, and a few specks of golden light flashed out like lightning from his hand.
They headed straight toward Chen Wujiu.
"Insignificant tricks; you dare to act wildly in front of this one?"
Chen Wujiu curled his lips. He didn't even condense his dharma idol true body, but merely bombarded with true essence, which directly sent that Gold-Tracing Envoy's body flying backwards.
That large robe which had always covered him also revealed the true face beneath it.
Cui Jianxing narrowed his eyes:
"So that's how it is. Dong Shan, both you and Gu Ping are people of this Changle Palace demonic sect? What a fine play of directing and acting in your own show! It's just a pity that today, neither of you will be able to run away."
"Hehe, not necessarily!" Gu Ping's gaze did not waver in the slightest.
His dharma idol finally finished condensing at this moment. In the blink of an eye, above the southern city of Lin'an, white lotuses seemed to descend from the sky one after another!
White Lotus Purifying the World!
Gu Ping's figure leapt fiercely, and his own Thousand-Hand White Lotus dharma idol true body condensed completely.
"Breakthrough on the spot? White Lotus Descending into the World? It seems it is that mysterious Vice Palace Master of the Changle Palace's White Lotus lineage!"
Seeing this scene, Cui Jianxing did not panic in the slightest. Upon the longsword in his hand, at some unknown point, characters appeared one by one:
'Mencius said: Neither riches nor honors can corrupt him; neither poverty nor humbleness can make him swerve from principle; and neither threats nor forces can subdue him...'
'Mencius said: Looking up, he has no occasion for shame before Heaven; looking down, he has no occasion to blush before men.'
'Mencius said: ...'
At this moment, these individual characters gradually condensed, ultimately transforming into two words:
'Righteous'
Hummm!
An incomparably muffled buzzing sound also instantly rang out at this time.
Between heaven and earth, a noble and restrained aura spread out. This was true Righteous Qi of the Universe!
This scene, triggering heaven and earth anomalies one after another, attracted the entire city's attention in almost an instant.
It even attracted the gazes of a few special figures.
For example, at this very moment.
At the location of Lin'an City's east gate, with the main gates wide open, there were a great many Jianghu people coming and going.
And among them, two special figures were rather eye-catching.
This was a beardless old man with a pale face, yet his complexion was extremely rosy. Wearing a golden brocade robe, he appeared rather plump and prosperous.
However, in his hands, the old man was pushing a special wooden wheelchair.
On the wheelchair was a woman with an extremely frail figure and a face that could only be considered plain and unremarkable. Amidst the countless Jianghu people coming and going, they walked into the city.
The moment they entered the city, the gazes of the two turned together toward the southern area.
The woman smiled faintly, turned her head slightly, and tucked away the hair at her temples before speaking softly:
"Grandpa Wei, didn't I say that this Lin'an is very interesting?"
The brocade-robed old man also chuckled. He merely glanced once at that heaven and earth anomaly that was enough to attract the entire city, then paid it no further heed. Instead, he looked at the woman in the wheelchair and spoke respectfully:
"The Commandery Princess is wise."
