Chapter 582 The Hidden Truth Was Too Deep
"Could it be that the Peak Master of Cold Moon Peak has created an even more advanced sword technique?"
"I don't think so. Peak Master Chu's expression isn't good. Lin Ping's sword technique might not have been taught by her."
"Tell me quickly, which sect are you an undercover agent from, and what are your intentions?"
Mei Jiecao went straight to Lin Ping and said sternly.
"So you were an undercover agent from another sect. No wonder your martial arts are so strange," Tang Jianshan chimed in.
Lin Ping's recent performance has indeed been astonishing, and considering his superb swordsmanship, he certainly has the suspicion of being an undercover agent.
Sandwiched between the two peak masters, Lin Ping laughed loudly, "It is my great honor that the two peak masters have personally taken action to capture a mere disciple like me."
"You brat, stop trying to argue. If you don't explain yourself clearly today, no one can save you," Tang Jianshan said fiercely, certain that Lin Ping wouldn't be able to explain.
Although he wasn't from any other sect, he was indeed an undercover agent, and the Crimson Sun Sword Technique was truly difficult to explain.
Lin Ping had anticipated this situation, but he had no choice; he couldn't just stand by and watch Hanyue Peak be bullied.
"You've gone so far as to expose your identity to protect Cold Moon Peak. How do you plan to end this?"
Jiang Mo gave Lin Ping a cold look, as if he were testing him.
"If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext. If I said that I figured out this sword technique myself, would you believe me?" Lin Ping met his gaze coldly, his face showing a willingness to die.
"Do you think we're stupid? The Lotus Sword Technique has taken generations of effort to master. How could you possibly comprehend a more advanced sword technique in just a few months?" Mei Jiecao said sternly.
That makes sense. Even a martial arts prodigy couldn't possibly comprehend a complete sword technique in such a short time.
Moreover, Lin Ping spends most of his time learning the Lotus Sword Technique and has no time to study other sword techniques.
There is only one answer: he was an undercover agent from another sect, and he already possessed superb swordsmanship.
"It's my fault that you've harmed the master. If I hadn't insisted on participating in the competition, the master wouldn't have revealed his strength, and he wouldn't be in prison." Guo Zhixi was extremely remorseful.
She knew a little about Lin Ping's identity, and once it was exposed, she would surely die a horrible death.
Lin Ping could have kept it a secret, but he exposed it for his own sake.
"I can surrender, but before that, I need to heal my senior sister's injuries." Lin Ping's gaze turned to the frail Guo Zhixi, and the intimidating murderous aura instantly dissipated, replaced by a touch of tenderness.
Even if he were given the choice again, he would still make the same decision.
A true man knows what to do and what not to do.
If you simply endure and watch those who care about you get hurt without lifting a finger, what good will it do even if you win the world?
Guo Zhixi finally couldn't hold back her tears.
Even when he was imprisoned, Lin Ping still thought of her.
"Master, please help my junior brother, he's not an undercover agent." Guo Zhixi knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, tears streaming down her face like broken pearls. She had completely lost the haughty demeanor of a princess.
She had never asked anyone for help like this before, nor had she ever shown any weakness.
All of this changed because of Lin Ping's appearance.
She was certain that she liked Lin Ping not to compete with Jiang Yunying, but because it was a feeling from the bottom of her heart.
It hurts, but it's sweet.
Chu Rujun stood in front of Lin Ping without hesitation and argued loudly, "If he were really an undercover agent, how could he expose his strength so easily? I believe he mastered the sword technique on his own."
The reason, though far-fetched, is still plausible.
As an undercover agent, one should be aware of the dangers of being an undercover agent and not casually reveal one's abilities.
"Is Junior Sister Chu going to favor him?" Mei Jiecao asked coldly, insisting that Lin Ping was an undercover agent.
Everyone has their own internal scales, and it's utter nonsense to think that one can comprehend a superior sword technique on their own.
However, the people of Hanyue Peak were grateful for Lin Ping's actions. Even though he came from another sect, he was definitely not an undercover agent; perhaps he had other reasons.
Therefore, we still need to protect Junior Uncle.
Seeing the favoritism shown by the disciples of the mountain gate, Lin Ping was deeply moved.
"If I weren't the Great General of the Wu Kingdom, perhaps I could have truly joined you." Lin Ping's nose tingled with emotion, overwhelmed with feelings.
"You stop Junior Sister Chu, I'll catch him," Tang Jianshan said.
Mei Jiecao nodded, holding his longsword horizontally in front of Chu Rujun.
The disciples of the Enforcement Hall and Beidou Peak also stood in front of the disciples of Hanyue Peak, preventing them from saving Lin Ping.
Faced with Tang Jianshan's attack, Lin Ping had no choice but to surrender.
Even if he had some skill, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of a master of the Red Lotus Realm.
Surrendering will only lead to capture, while fighting to the death will not only confirm the crime but may also result in being killed.
"Don't hurt my disciple!" Chu Rujun risked injury to forcefully dodge Mei Jiecao's attack and stood in front of Tang Jianshan.
Tang Jianshan's sword strike was quite powerful, and Chu Rujun was caught off guard, so she could only use the "Mirror Flower Water Moon" sword technique to resist.
"A mirage? Junior Sister Chu, you're forcing me to take action." A shadow fell over Tang Jianshan's face.
This is the symbol of the Red Lotus Realm, which means that Chu Rujun has used her ultimate move to protect Lin Ping.
"Don't waste words with her, just defeat her first," Mei Jiecao said coldly.
So, two shameless men attacked a vulnerable woman.
The three of them used incredibly powerful and unpredictable moves, their longswords flashing with light and changing rapidly, creating a beautiful spectacle.
All three were at the early stage of the Red Lotus Realm, and their strengths were roughly equal. Faced with the combined attack of the two, Chu Rujun immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.
"So this is the Lotus Palace? All you know is how to bully the weak with numbers? I, Lin Ping, am not afraid of you."
Seeing Chu Rujun's retreating defeat after defeat, Lin Ping decided not to hold back his strength.
Okay, I'll lay it all out: my right eye can not only see through things, but it can also capture energy.
Lin Ping discovered this function two months ago. Although the speed of experts in the Red Lotus Realm is astonishing, their internal energy is like a blazing flame, and even in the dark, it cannot escape Lin Ping's sight.
“Master, Mei Jiecao is behind you, and Tang Jianshan is in front of you. You can use your elbow to attack Mei Jiecao’s most vulnerable left palm, and then swing your sword to attack Tang Jianshan’s vulnerable right shoulder.” Lin Ping said in a series of sentences, watching the whole scene intently.
Chu Rujun did not understand what Lin Ping meant, but she still did as he was told.
As she struck with her elbow, Mei Jiecao's left palm met her attack. He had concentrated all his strength in his right arm, leaving his left palm vulnerable, and it was immediately knocked away.
Tang Jianshan was also uncomfortable. He had not yet completed his sword move, and his right shoulder was vulnerable. It was pierced by Chu Rujun's sword. If he had not dodged in time, he would have been seriously injured.
With a single move, Chu Rujun repelled an enemy; her terrifying strength was astonishing.
Mei Jiecao and Tang Jianshan did not hear Lin Ping's words. They both looked at Chu Rujun with terrified eyes and dared not make another move for a moment.
"My disciple, how many things are you still hiding from your master?" The more Lin Ping acted this way, the more worried Chu Rujun became.
If he weren't an undercover agent from another sect, how could he possibly possess such abilities?
