The Nine Tripods Sect had at least five Third Realm Artifact Cultivators. This was one of the main reasons they could stand strong despite not having a single Fourth Realm Cultivator.
Wang Ping had thought the Nine Tripods Sect would only send two ordinary Third Realm Artifact Cultivators to help. He never expected the Sect Leader, Lu Shan, to come in person. In that case, he must have other matters to discuss.
There was no grand welcoming ceremony, not because Wang Ping was stingy or ignorant of etiquette, but because Lu Shan himself had requested it. Xia Wen Yi had dispatched a member of internal affairs to lead them discreetly to the Mountain Peak Dojo.
Lu Shan certainly hadn't come alone; he brought two other Third Realm Artifact Cultivators with him. Because they had traveled on foot from Ningzhou Road to Qianmu Temple, by the time Wang Ping met Lu Shan, it was already half a month after Ying Qing Taoist and Hou Jun had arrived.
