"Genius disciples from three sects?"

Upon seeing this news, Qi Ping's eyes couldn't help but narrow.

Given Meng Yan's combat power, anyone he deems a genius disciple is definitely not to be underestimated.

It's not even impossible for them to match Meng Yan in combat power.

And Qi Ping had seen for himself Meng Yan's combat prowess: a formidable physique and abundant spiritual power, coupled with his understanding of the True Meaning of Fire, Dao Heart Realm, and masterful hammer techniques, making his combat power in the Qi Refining Stage truly terrifying.

If three individuals with similar combat power were to arrive at once, even Qi Ping would have a headache.

No wonder Meng Yan was so cautious not long ago. He even had to abandon his base. Being besieged by three such people, the probability of being killed, even with an advantageous position, is not small. It's no surprise that this time he had to seek Qi Ping's help.

"It seems the war involving the Cyan Origin Sect and other sects has gradually reached a fever pitch. Otherwise, the mutual slayings among genius disciples wouldn't be this intense…"

At this stage, even the Golden Core Elder supporting Meng Yan is unreliable, because the enemy has counterparts, possibly even more…

So now, Meng Yan can only rely on himself. With the Cyan Origin Sect and its allied forces completely engulfed in the whirlpool, almost no one was available to lend a hand.

...

Upon receiving Meng Yan's distress call, Qi Ping was not overly worried; his current strength was sufficient to deal with these opponents.

However, Qi Ping dared not be the least bit careless. Facing these genius disciples nurtured by the core resources of their sects, his individual combat power might not guarantee a win; even now, against Meng Yan, Qi Ping wasn't fully confident.

After all, in terms of the strength of cultivation techniques, magic, foundation… Qi Ping could not match them; the resources were clear.

In terms of understanding the true meaning of the law, it might just be at a balanced state currently.

The only advantages Qi Ping might have were the Beast King's Flame and the Yang Fire Body. Augmented by these two talents, his perfected Flame Burst Technique was tremendously powerful.

Additionally, the Tree Skin Technique greatly enhanced Qi Ping's survivability, and when combined with the Flame Burst Net, the defense was terrifyingly strong; the Hundred Eyes Illusion Realm could also be counted as a unique technique.

Of course, Qi Ping's greatest reliance remained his animal companions.

As of now, Yaya, ten thousand combat bees, and the Hundred Eyes Flower Demon all possessed formidable combat capabilities.

The characteristics of the bee swarm and the Hundred Eyes Flower Demon were apparent; with ten thousand combat bees, about half being strengthened after the Bee King's transformation, their combat power could wear down ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators; the Hundred Eyes Illusion Realm of the little flower demon also posed a threat to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Yaya's attributes may not seem as strong as the previous two, but in reality, its explosive power was also terrifyingly high, being capable in attack, defense, and speed. Its physical body and lifebound spirit fire, empowered by the absorbed power of the Great Sun, had already reached a new level.

Furthermore, Yaya's bloodline awakening continued to rise almost daily, largely owing to its own diligent efforts. The help Qi Ping provided was occasionally giving Yaya some Beast King's Flame, or Yaya would comprehend Qi Ping's True Meaning of Fire at night to enhance its bloodline awakening.

With Yaya, Qi Ping felt most at ease, believing that it would definitely break through the bloodline shackles again in the future, transforming into a more powerful Great Sun System spirit beast.

Qi Ping was almost certain that within half a year, Yaya would surely break through to Tier Two!

After completing a combat power assessment and making necessary preparations, Qi Ping then calmly returned to cultivating spiritual medicine and accelerating the growth speed of the little flower demon.

For Qi Ping, going out to battle was just a mere interlude; cultivating and enhancing his skills were eternal.

Five days passed like this before Qi Ping received another message from Meng Yan.

[Qi Brother, meet at the usual place; I've had someone place array traps around that area in advance!]

...

Upon receiving Meng Yan's message, Qi Ping tidied up his belongings on the mountain and immediately transformed into a bee, leading most of the bee swarm and his animal companions to the meeting point.

After confirming there was no danger, Qi Ping appeared before Meng Yan.

"Qi Brother, you're finally here; this time, I really need your help!"

"It's no trouble; it's what I should do. Have you gathered any information on the enemy's strength?"

The enemy's background was what Qi Ping was most concerned about.

But Meng Yan could only shake his head helplessly.

"I cannot obtain specific information about the enemy. However, it's certain that there are no Foundation Establishment cultivators among them. In such a situation, the opponent should dispatch disciples who are either stronger than me or more in number. Overall strength should be two to three times mine; four times is unlikely as they lack such combat power in the Qingtian Realm."

"So, with you and me aligning, plus the assistance of arrays, we have a chance to win; at worst, escaping would not be an issue."

"After all, Qi Brother, your presence is something they could not have anticipated..."

At this point, Meng Yan, seeing Qi Ping's calm expression, knew that normally, this battle was definitely in their favor.

Making friends with Qi Ping was indeed a very wise choice.

In such battle circumstances, having a powerful hidden friend was immensely beneficial.

After all, there are only so many critical battles; with Qi Ping's assistance, his chances of survival were much higher.

Even in times of peace, having the aid of hidden strength would make him much more adept in sect conflicts.

Subsequently, Meng Yan detailed the array situation to Qi Ping, and they discussed the upcoming battle plans.

This combat plan and array setup from trapping the enemy, fighting, and fleeing… Meng Yan explained everything in detail, showing his serious preparation.

Qi Ping had never seen Meng Yan so cautiously prepared for a confrontation.

This detail also implied that the approaching enemies were formidable adversaries, where carelessness could lead to demise.

By contrast, Qi Ping remained much calmer.

Because Qi Ping had already prepared battle plans and was ready for any scenario, even confronting Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Even if faced with Foundation Establishment, Qi Ping was confident in escaping, which formed the basis of his confidence.

...

After spending considerable time, once all preparations were complete, Meng Yan instructed someone to subtly leak vague information about his location; a setup he had arranged long ago to avoid arousing enemy suspicion.

"Qi Brother, I'm not sure when or if the adversary sect's people will come, so I can only trouble you to stay here for a bit longer, please forgive me!" Meng Yan stated solemnly.

"Brother Meng, there's no need for such courtesy; I will give it my all in this battle!"

Afterward, Qi Ping diligently focused on cultivation.

With no need to spend time cultivating spiritual medicine, it was the perfect opportunity for cultivating the Wood Flame Technique, and increasing his cultivation was the real priority.

Now that the Wood Flame Technique had achieved perfection, Qi Ping's realm was advancing rapidly because of it.

Shortly after Meng Yan quietly leaked the location information, a group of extraordinary youths exuding formidable auras received the news.

One young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, carrying a wooden sword on his back, smirked as he spoke:

"After searching for so long, the fish has finally shown its tail. It's time to haul in the net!"

The most astonishing sight was the awe-inspiring sword intent emanating from the young man's eyes as they opened.

However, facing this formidable sword cultivator, the two companions seated opposite showed no fear.

One radiated demonic qi, the other had a physique giving off a terrifying aura, their imposing presence not at all inferior to the sword-intent wielding youth!
