CHAPTER 509: CHAPTER 509: SENIOR BROTHER IS NOT ANGRY

Her? What a joke. Just a little girl crying her eyes out.

Wen Qingshan said dismissively, "That Hei is the truly formidable one."

HEH HEH...

He Yitian laughed. "Do you know how the powerhouses of your Star Sea met their end?"

Wen Qingshan was curious. "How did they meet their end?"

"They were all taken out by her..." He Yitian said. "Lady Zi Ji of the Qingfeng lineage, ranked fourth."

He hadn’t witnessed the scene himself. However, upon returning here and hearing discussions in Fairy Valley, his curiosity led him to inquire. He then learned the shocking truth: many enemies had come, but Zi Ji had killed them all. Not one had managed to escape alive.

Wen Qingshan was dumbfounded. He looked at He Yitian, then his gaze settled on Zi Ji.

She was still crying. She was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, thin, with delicate features.

"Let me tell you, this Lady Zi Ji is extraordinary. Her identity and origins are anything but common, and her cultivation is quite bizarre, resembling that of Ancient Cultivation," He Yitian whispered. "Most importantly, she is Chen Pingping’s most beloved junior sister."

This was a crucial point.

According to his understanding of the Wuji Sect, no one wielded more power than Chen Pingping. The Sect Master, Elders, and Peak Masters all deferred to him.

And Chen Pingping doted on Zi Ji. Consequently, her status was virtually second only to Chen Pingping himself, further enhanced by her exceptional origins and powerful cultivation. Zi Ji was very likely to become the second-in-command of the Wuji Sect.

He Yitian narrowed his eyes. "Also, there’s the other little girl beside her, Jiang Ni’er. She has no cultivation but has always followed Chen Pingping closely, akin to a confidante. Her status is also quite high."

"A mortal?" Wen Qingshan couldn’t comprehend.

"No, she’s not an ordinary mortal; she is said to possess the legendary Heaven Insight Body," He Yitian said gravely. "In summary, maintaining a good relationship with them will benefit your advancement in the Wuji Sect."

"I need to escape," Wen Qingshan said, taking a deep breath and gritting his teeth, his eyes no longer holding the same firmness or confidence. This Sect is strange. This Sect is far from ordinary. I must escape. Otherwise, the invincible path of my Void Body might very well end here.

Huh? He Yitian was immediately displeased. "Look at you! After all I’ve said, you’re still thinking of escaping? This Wuji Sect is destined to be a future superpower! By then, I’ll be a Peak Master, reigning high and mighty. And you, with your Divine Body, if you attain some position, wouldn’t we be invincible together?"

"Can you defeat her?" Wen Qingshan shrugged, looking at Zi Ji.

"..."

"Can you defeat Chen Pingping?"

"What are you thinking?"

"If I can’t defeat anyone, why should I stay here?" Wen Qingshan remained very stubborn.

He’s so stubborn. He Yitian, frustrated by Wen Qingshan’s stubborn refusal to see reason, stood up and suddenly shouted, "What? You want to run away?"

Wen Qingshan: "???"

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

Everyone looked over. Hei had an unfriendly expression.

He Yitian scurried over. "I’m reporting him! Wen Qingshan plans to betray the Wuji Sect!"

"Oh, is that so?" Jiang Ni’er remarked.

"I suggest we imprison him, or perhaps suppress him in the latrine," He Yitian said with a grin.

Damn it... Hearing this, Wen Qingshan truly felt like spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

Just a moment ago, they were calling each other brothers, comforting one another, and sharing a mutual understanding. Now, He Yitian was betraying him and even clamoring to suppress him in a latrine.

This scoundrel. Wen Qingshan trembled with rage.

At this moment, Zi Ji stopped crying. She wiped away her tears and began to size up Wen Qingshan.

He Yitian spoke again, "Lady Zi Ji, you continue crying. I’ll take him in for suppression." Saying that, he ran back, forcefully dragged Wen Qingshan, and whispered, "Don’t talk, just come with me."

Damn you! Wen Qingshan was furious. However, Hei kept a watchful eye on him, so he dared not make a careless move. Otherwise, he would have slapped this scoundrel to death.

The two followed some paths and entered the interior of the City of Extinction.

The previously enraged Wen Qingshan was stunned into silence upon seeing the scene before him.

Spiritual Medicines covered the mountains and plains. The Spirit Qi in the air was almost tangible. It was utterly unlike the outside of the City of Extinction; this place resembled a paradise on earth, beautiful beyond description.

He Yitian chuckled, "How about that?"

"Chen Pingping is back!" Someone shouted, though no one knew who it was.

Zi Ji looked towards the outside of the City of Extinction and saw the familiar figure. She dashed out swiftly, calling, "Senior Brother!"

Oh dear!

Chen Pingping smiled. "Why are you still sniffling?" He noticed the tear stains on Zi Ji’s face and teased her with a smile.

"Not at all!" Zi Ji denied.

She wouldn’t admit she had cried; that would be too embarrassing. Though everyone else had seen it, she was determined that Chen Pingping wouldn’t find out.

Chen Pingping gently pushed her slightly away. "Alright, tell me! What happened?"

Zi Ji hesitated.

"Did someone bully you?" Chen Pingping asked.

"No, it was just Xiao Yu."

"What happened with Xiao Yu?" he asked, puzzled.

"Xiao Yu secretly took the Emperor Spirit away," Zi Ji said, a bit aggrieved.

"I..." Chen Pingping’s anger surged sevenfold in an instant. But seeing her aggrieved expression, he forcefully suppressed his emotions and squeezed out a smile. "It’s fine. It’s just a silly thing. If she took it, she took it!"

"Yes! Xiao Yu also took Li Qi with her," Zi Ji added.

"Wait a moment!" Chen Pingping said, then turned around.

Zi Ji called out from behind him, "Senior Brother, where are you going?"

Damn it. It was bad enough that she had taken the Emperor Spirit, but she had also run off with Li Qi.

Seething with killing intent, Chen Pingping sped towards the Western Wilderness. However, after traveling for several hours, he returned here.

Zi Ji looked worried. "Senior Brother, what’s wrong?"

"I’m fine," Chen Pingping said, not wanting to make her worry. "It might be good for Li Qi to follow Xiaoyu; he might learn some valuable skills."

"Really?" Zi Ji looked skeptical.

"Of course!" Chen Pingping smiled.

After comforting Zi Ji, he went to Jiang Ni’er, grinding his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Do a divination for me. You must find Xiaoyu. I need to give her a beating."

Jiang Ni’er shook her head. "Didn’t we do a divination before? Xiao Yu’s Heavenly Dao trajectory is quite elusive, and her lifeline is very strong. Forcing a divination might..."

"Might what?" Chen Pingping pressed.

"The backlash from the heavens will be even fiercer," she said in a somber tone.

Chen Pingping’s face stiffened. Then he asked, "Then tell me, how can I find Xiaoyu?"

"Although the Western Wilderness is a bit more dangerous, with Xiao Yu there, Li Qi should be fine," Jiang Ni’er said.

"She’s a Demon cultivator!" Chen Pingping snapped.

"..."

Jiang Ni’er fell silent, likely understanding the reason. But she couldn’t perform the divination, so she quietly turned away, offering no further counsel to Chen Pingping.

One Demon cultivator, Guang Xiaoyu, already gave Chen Pingping endless headaches. Was his only disciple now going to turn to Cultivating Demon too?

But he was helpless now; Guang Xiaoyu was far from this place.

Chen Pingping remained stunned for a long time, about an hour. Then he abruptly stood up, muttering to himself, "Xiaoyu! If you dare mess things up, I’ll break your legs when you get back!"

WOOF WOOF!

Hei, who happened to be passing by, heard this, and its eyes immediately shot wide.

At that very moment, from the depths of the City of Extinction, a vast surge of energy suddenly erupted, and dark clouds swiftly gathered overhead.

Someone was undergoing a tribulation.
