150: Killing one person is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand is heroism!

"No, for now, we can't let that woman know you're here with me."

Lu Tao's eyes flickered with a cunning light, his excitement not yet fully faded. He rubbed his hands together and paced back and forth in the room, his face full of playfulness like a mischievous child. "I have to ignore her for a bit longer. One day, when we team up to do something big, we'll give her a real show of force. Haha!"

"This Liu Muyao at the top of the rankings, what is her background exactly?"

Su Ling was full of curiosity. Given Lu Tao's personality, why would he be at odds with a woman like this? "How did she offend you?"

"Her? It's a long story..."

Lu Tao sat down beside Su Ling, his fingers lightly tapping the table in a rhythmic sound. "Liu Muyao is a Junior of a certain Senior Brother in the Sect... Right, in front of an Integration Stage Cultivator, I have to respectfully call him Senior Brother. This Senior Brother has a deep friendship with my Revered Master."

Su Ling nodded slightly, already understanding a bit.

"Liu Muyao possesses a High-grade Wind Spiritual Root. She has a firm and strong personality, is decisive in killing, and has also cultivated the path of a Sword Cultivator."

Lu Tao picked up his teacup, took a sip, and continued his story. "Originally, that Senior Brother Liu intended to recommend Liu Muyao to my Revered Master. But then Revered Master happened to see me and immediately decided to abandon Liu Muyao to take me as his Disciple..."

"In that case, you've certainly offended her quite a bit!"

Su Ling couldn't help but laugh heartily. Lu Tao's unintentional action had effectively snatched away a massive Opportunity from her.

For someone narrow-minded, it would be no different from being mortal enemies.

"Because of this, my Junior Martial Uncle even specially gave her a supreme grade Magic Treasure as compensation."

Lu Tao mentioned this with some indignation. "The annoying part is, this woman is still relentless. Every time she looks at me, it's as if she wants to tear me into pieces."

"You are now a Disciple of a True Immortal; does she still dare to offend you like this?"

Su Ling became increasingly puzzled. Surely the concept of hierarchy in the Canglang cultivation world wasn't that weak?

"True Immortal... That Senior Brother is about to ascend to True Immortal and has been in secluded cultivation for ten years."

Lu Tao shrugged helplessly. "Moreover, we belong to the same Sect, so I naturally can't do anything to her. Even for Disciples of other Sects, if they have Integration Stage or even True Immortal elders as backers, they will all leave some room for each other."

Having said that, Lu Tao waved his hand, and a light screen instantly appeared before them.

"The Seven Sects Overall Points Ranking?"

Su Ling looked at the striking large characters on the light screen and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"That's right. This list is independent of the various faction rankings and gathers the top one hundred experts from the seven great factions."

Lu Tao pointed at the list and explained patiently, "Only those who are on the list have the right to view it. The top thirty are mostly descendants or Disciples of the Seven Sects' True Immortals or Integration Stage Cultivators."

Su Ling stared at the list, his eyes filled with astonishment.

The top of the list was Luo Qianjie, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Sword Cultivator from the Qingming Sword Sect.

The second was Feng Yihan, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator from the Wuji Sect.

The third was Pei Tianque, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator from the Haoyang Sect.

The fourth was Liu Muyao, a Nascent Soul Early Stage Cultivator from the Bitao Sect... There were a total of one hundred Cultivators on the list, among whom there were actually five Nascent Soul Loose Cultivators and three Core Formation Cultivators from the Seven Sects.

Luo Qianjie's points had already exceeded five million.

Feng Yihan and Pei Tianque's points were also close to that number.

Liu Muyao, who was fourth, had points reaching over 4.3 million.

Clearly, in the past six months, she had rapidly accumulated nearly a million points.

Wu Yuanpeng, ranked second in the Bitao Faction, had 4.07 million points and was ranked eleventh overall.

As for Lu Tao, his points were over 3.6 million, placing him twenty-third.

Even the last-ranked Core Formation Cultivator from the Wuyun Sect had over 2.7 million points. Even in the Bitao Faction, they could Rank in the top fifteen, which was truly staggering.

"Six months ago, Bai Yifan and Yan Wushuang fell, while Ye Linfeng and Xiao Hanque were heavily injured. The Qingming Faction gathered heavy troops at the Wuwang Bone Forest, causing a period of widespread panic..."

After Su Ling finished reading the list, Lu Tao withdrew the light screen and sighed slightly. "However, many people don't know that Bai, Yan, and Ye were just Disciples of ordinary Soul Transformation Cultivators, not even True Disciples. Wu Yuanpeng led a massive army to the border, and if not for Su Wangchen's intervention, those Nascent Souls of the Qingming Faction would have been no match for him."

Su Wangchen was ranked thirteenth on the Seven Sects Overall Points Ranking, only two places behind Wu Yuanpeng, who was second in the Bitao Faction.

Based on this list, Su Wangchen only ranked third within the Qingming Faction.

Because there was also a Qingming Sword Cultivator named Yun Che, who ranked eighth with 4.17 million points.

The difference in points from fourth to thirtieth was not very large.

"The points ranking isn't enough to reflect the actual strength gap between them. Between Wu Yuanpeng and Su Wangchen, I favor Su Wangchen. After all, even I am confident I could defeat Wu Yuanpeng..."

Lu Tao pointed at the sky and said in a low voice, "As for points, if it weren't for my Revered Master being the supervisor in this plane, with my personality, how could I have accumulated so many?"

"Your Revered Master is here?"

Su Ling was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the sky.

Invisibly, it felt as if two dazzling sword lights shot down from outside the plane, making his body tremble slightly.

"Yes, my Revered Master's title is True Lord Lu Feng. He attained the status of a True Immortal in less than a thousand years. In the entire Canglang Plane, such individuals are few and far between!"

Lu Tao crossed his arms with a smug look. "Moreover, he is the only Sword Immortal in our Bitao Sect. And I am his only Disciple!"

"Oh? I wonder if you, this direct Disciple, can attain the Dao and knock on the gates of immortality within a thousand years?"

Su Ling ruthlessly poured a bucket of cold water on him.

After decades of not seeing each other, this guy was still just as carefree.

If it were anyone else, they would probably have been driven mad with jealousy.

"Sigh, don't mention it. Revered Master said that if I don't make it into the top ten this time, he'll send me to the Plane Battlefield as cannon fodder."

Lu Tao's smile collapsed. He propped his chin on his hands on the table with a look of despair. "But points aren't that easy to accumulate..."

"How is that difficult?"

Hearing this, a cold smile played on Su Ling's lips as he said indifferently, "Isn't it just killing people? Kill a few thousand in one go, and I guarantee you'll take first place."

"Hiss..."

Sensing Su Ling's murderous intent, Lu Tao couldn't help but gasp. He asked tentatively, "Su Ling, are you serious?"

"To kill one is a crime, to slaughter ten thousand is to be a hero!"

"Only by slaughtering millions can one be a hero among heroes!"

Su Ling looked directly at Lu Tao and said slowly, "The premise is not to kill innocent people... But in this Nether Prison Plane, who dares to say they are innocent? Those who dare to participate in a National War must be prepared for the possibility of death and the end of their path!"

Lu Tao swallowed hard, momentarily stunned by Su Ling's murderous words, not knowing how to respond.

"Well said!"

Just then, a Divine Soul transmission suddenly appeared in both of their minds.

"Revered Master?!"

Lu Tao stood up abruptly and looked toward the ceiling of the Immortal Cave.

A ray of immortal light blossomed, transforming into a tall figure in an instant.

Su Ling's expression changed, and he quickly stood up to bow respectfully. "Junior Su Ling pays his respects to True Lord Lu Feng."
