Chapter 662 Lotus Palace Master
Lin Ping had no way to deal with such a sheer cliff, unless he was willing to risk his life and make the hot air balloon fly higher and higher until it was above the top of the cliff.
Unfortunately, hot air balloons are constrained by atmospheric pressure. The plane they are on is already hundreds of meters above sea level. If they continue to fly higher, they are likely to burst due to the large pressure difference between the inside and outside of the hot air balloon.
“With Yunying’s strength, she naturally cannot get through, but the Palace Master can take her in,” Chu Rujun explained. “As long as she reaches the Red Lotus Realm, there is hope that she can climb over.”
Lin Ping was, after all, a master of the Black Lotus Realm, and knew that what Chu Rujun said made sense.
By focusing energy on your feet, you can move forward using the cliffs on either side.
Of course, this requires powerful energy support, which is probably difficult to achieve below the Red Lotus Realm.
To verify this claim, Lin Ping risked his life to venture off the cliff and indeed took a few steps forward.
Due to the enormous energy expenditure, he immediately felt overwhelmed and hurriedly retreated.
“Even for me, I can only manage a one-way trip,” Chu Rujun said, shaking her head.
In other words, although Chu Rujun was able to enter Xuan Yin Peak, her physical strength was almost completely exhausted, making it difficult for her to get out on her own, let alone with Jiang Yunying.
"Moreover, only those who have reached the mid-stage of the Red Lotus Realm can lead a disciple who has reached the Black Lotus Realm through."
Chu Rujun interrupted Lin Ping's question.
Bringing one more person would double the stamina required, which is impossible for a master like her at the early stage of the Red Lotus Realm.
"So, besides the Palace Master, no one else can bring the Lady out? Unless she herself reaches the Red Lotus Realm?" Lin Ping understood Chu Rujun's meaning and involuntarily clenched his fist.
"Then I'll have the Lotus Palace Master personally bring my wife out!" Lin Ping said through gritted teeth.
Although he had never met the Palace Master of Lotus Palace, he had a very bad impression of him.
Ultimately, everything the Lotus Palace did was at his behest.
Without a palace master, they might not have launched an attack on the imperial court.
"Make the Palace Master obey your orders?" Chu Rujun gasped. If Lin Ping didn't have tens of thousands of troops behind him, she would have thought the child was stupid.
Just as the two were discussing, two figures appeared in the canyon, one in black and one in white, one in front and one behind.
Lu Yan, who was walking in front, looked haggard. Even though he had faintly advanced to the mid-stage of the Red Lotus Realm, he was still a little exhausted from walking back and forth across the canyon in such a short time.
The person behind him was dressed in white, with an air of otherworldly elegance and a calm expression. He looked to be in his forties or fifties, but also seemed to be only in his twenties or thirties.
This person stands with his feet together, as if he is flying through the air.
An outsider might have believed it, but Lin Ping could see through it at a glance. It was simply that he moved his foot only every few meters, and at an extremely fast speed, giving the impression that he wasn't moving at all.
"Is this the Palace Master of Lotus Palace?" Lin Ping asked, taking a deep breath.
His martial arts skills surpass those of Lü Yan; who else could he be but the Palace Master?
Chu Rujun nodded slightly and was about to curtsy when Lin Ping stopped her.
"So what if she's the Palace Master? Isn't she still made of flesh and blood? Can she really withstand a bomb?" Lin Ping said coldly, "Fire the arrows!"
To be honest, Lin Ping was a little unsure about the opponent's strength. After all, the expert who rescued Yao Chengyu that day was faster than a crossbow bolt and unaffected by bombs.
If the Lotus Palace Master also possessed such abilities, Lin Ping would be in real trouble.
Rather than waiting to be killed, it's better to take advantage of the situation and attack.
Anyway, they were in the canyon, where the space was cramped, so they could only obediently wait to be blown up.
"Damn it, so be it, it's better than me being killed!" Lin Ping cursed, not caring whether the Palace Master lived or died.
At worst, he could spend time inventing a more advanced tool; Lin Ping refused to believe that a living person could die from holding in their urine.
There's always a way to overcome difficulties, and he always managed to find a way to rescue Jiang Yunying.
The moment Lü Yan saw Lin Ping, he was already flustered. He had thought that the disciples of Lotus Palace could hold out for a while.
Even if they were outmatched, finding such a secluded place would still take some effort.
Little did he know that Chu Rujun would personally bring Lin Ping here; this was a death sentence for him.
The one-meter-wide canyon was completely filled with crossbow bolts. Lü Yan was already exhausted and could only draw his longsword to defend himself.
Bang bang bang!
The moment the two collided, the explosives attached to the crossbow bolts detonated, and the enormous energy sent Lü Yan flying. His paper-thin body plummeted to the bottom of the valley, leaving only a long, drawn-out scream.
The current Grand Secretary and Head of the Lotus Palace's Hall of Affairs has fallen!
The white-clad man behind him raised his eyebrows and glared angrily at Lin Ping, his murderous intent already rising.
Lu Yan is not only the head of the Lotus Palace's Hall of Affairs, but also someone who has endured for over twenty years in the imperial court and is highly valued by the palace master.
Unexpectedly, he was killed by a mere young upstart.
Lu Yan blocked most of the arrows in this volley, with only a few scattered arrows hitting the white-clad men, which did not cause him much harm.
The Lotus Palace Master's movements were unpredictable, leaving several afterimages in the canyon.
Lin Ping confirmed that he was the fastest man in the canyon, but so what? He would still be blown up.
"Put it back!"
With Lin Ping's command, another dense volley of arrows rained down, numbering at least a hundred.
The Lotus Palace Master weaved through the rain of arrows, catching a few with her bare hands every now and then, and throwing them away before they exploded.
Bang bang bang!
The returned bombs triggered a chain reaction of explosions, with hundreds of bombs exploding in mid-air, but none of them caused any harm to the Lotus Palace Master.
At this moment, Lotus Palace leaned forward, like a bullet whizzing through the air, and rushed out of the canyon to face Lin Ping directly.
Even with the X-rays turned up to their maximum, Lin Ping could only barely catch a glimpse of the other person's movements, which frightened him so much that he kept backing away.
"Fire all arrows at once!" Lin Ping commanded again.
Just when the enemy thought they were about to succeed, a barrage of arrows swept in.
"You deliberately concealed your strength just now?" The Lotus Palace Master sneered.
Lin Ping brought over a thousand crossbowmen, but only ordered a hundred to fire arrows earlier, precisely to make the enemy lower their guard.
"Hahaha! Die!" Lin Ping laughed loudly as he saw his opponent surrounded by crossbow bolts.
"Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water!"
The azure light flickered like a phantom, instantly forming a seamless sword net around the Lotus Palace princess, blocking all the thousands of crossbow bolts.
“Bang bang bang!
The bomb exploded outside the sword net, and the massive shockwave still left the opponent's clothes disheveled and face pale.
He could indeed block crossbow bolts, but not the shockwave of a bomb; at best, he could only increase the distance between himself and the bomb, thus reducing the damage.
"Very well, you are the first person to injure me." With that, the Lotus Palace rushed towards Lin Ping like a gust of cold wind.
"Fire arrows! Fire arrows! Fire arrows!" Lin Ping shouted three times, but unfortunately the enemy had already reached him and threw all the crossbow bolts behind him.
