"Has our Sect Leader ever ordered you to kill Xia family mbers?"
Wen Ping confird that he had never issued such an order.
In fact, Wen Ping didn’t care about the Xia family at all, regardless of what they were scheming behind the scenes.
There were countless forces and people jealous or resentful, wanting to annihilate the Immortal Sect; how could he possibly deal with them all?
He Nian naturally didn’t think so, "Since the Xia family has intentions to oppose our sect, it’s my duty to eliminate them. Though the Lone Wolf’s power is insignificant, he’s the Wolf King and has the ability to rally a pack of wolves, which would certainly trouble the Sect Leader and the Immortal Sect. I don’t wish to see such trouble."
Wen Ping looked at He Nian and found himself suddenly a little fond of him.
He Nian had never expressed his needs until now.
Never ntioned the need for healing his injuries.
Nor talked about how severe his injuries were.
Instead, he only considered for the sect.
Unexpectedly, the half-step Earth Unrestricted that he had casually recruited turned out to be a good person.
It was like finding a treasure.
When recruiting He Nian, Wen Ping’s mindset was quite different from when he recruited Chen Xie or Zi Ran. Recruiting He Nian was simply because he thought He Nian’s strength was good and could be used to strengthen the sect and serve him. Recruiting Zi Ran and the others was for the long-term developnt of the sect; they are the future of the Immortal Sect.
Looking at He Nian now, Wen Ping’s mindset had changed sowhat.
"Well done... sit down, have sothing to eat, and rest for a bit; we’ll return to the sect later." A white fla burst forth from Wen Ping’s palm, fluttering like a butterfly, erasing Xiahou’s head from the center of the inn.
"Yes!" He Nian followed suit, ordered so wine, and downed it in one go.
Wen Ping imdiately called out, "Boss, serve those dishes I had last night again."
The innkeeper hurriedly ran to the kitchen, personally overseeing the cooking.
Though the chef never made any mistakes before, he dared not guarantee it would always be so.
Considering that many Mountain Suppression Realm experts of a four-star giant were killed just like that, if a dish being too salty brought him a deadly calamity, it would be an unjust death indeed.
...
After a few courses, Zi Ran arrived at the inn with Bainian Xiang.
However, following Bainian Xiang were also the mbers of the Hidden Dragon Sect.
To be honest, Wen Ping thought that Bainian Hanshan would avoid suspicions by bringing his sect mbers, so as not to leave any gossip among the other sects of the Hundred Sects Alliance, but Bainian Hanshan didn’t do that.
He ca.
He brought everyone.
"Sect Leader Wen." Leading, Bainian Hanshan along with many Hidden Dragon Sect seniors greeted.
Wen Ping responded, "Sect Leader Hanshan, no need for such courtesies. In the future, when we at the Immortal Sect gather, and you all co, there will definitely be good wine!"
Since the Hidden Dragon Sect genuinely wanted to befriend and didn’t fear gossip, Wen Ping naturally wouldn’t act haughtily.
"Sect Leader Wen is too kind."
"Sect Leader Wen, you’ve promised, so when this old man cos by, don’t say I’m a drunkard."
"Haha—"
For a mont, laughter filled the air.
Seeing that Bainian Xiang had arrived, Wen Ping had no intention to stay longer, "Sect Leader Hanshan, let’s discuss things while walking."
"Alright, let’s talk while walking." Bainian Hanshan couldn’t help but glance at Huai Ye and the others.
After a few steps, Wen Ping bluntly said, "Sect Leader Hanshan didn’t just co today to deliver Xiang, did he?"
"To be honest, indeed not."
Bainian Hanshan imdiately set up a sound insulation barrier, ensuring that what he was about to say wouldn’t be overheard.
Wen Ping glanced at the nearby sound insulation barrier, roughly guessing what Bainian Hanshan would say.
Sure enough, the next mont Bainian Hanshan said, "Sect Leader Wen, I have an immodest request."
Wen Ping straightforwardly replied, "No worries, just say it."
"I’m wondering if there are any Hidden Dragon Sect disciples behind that catch your eye. If there are, you may take them anyti." Bainian Hanshan grinned heartily.
Wen Ping didn’t turn around to look.
Admittedly, there were indeed talented disciples in the Hidden Dragon Sect.
For instance, the first ti he t Wen ng.
However, Wen Ping never intended to develop the Immortal Sect into a sect with disciples all over the world; if Hidden Dragon Sect people joined the Immortal Sect, which power would they count as?
This was entirely different from the concept of Bainian Xiang joining the sect.
Wen Ping refused, "The Immortal Sect currently has limited resources and does not plan to take in many disciples."
Bainian Hanshan pressed on, "Today I brought the offspring of all the Hidden Dragon Sect’s elders and vice sect leaders, and they can leave the sect at any ti. If Sect Leader Wen takes a liking to them, from today onwards they will be disciples of the Immortal Sect. In the future, they would only have a familial relationship with the Hidden Dragon Sect, with no ties to it."
"If in the future there are openings for disciples, our Sect Leader will notify Sect Leader Hanshan first." Wen Ping refused again.
Seeing Wen Ping’s firm attitude, Bainian Hanshan had no choice but to give up.
He also knew that the Hidden Dragon Sect didn’t have any disciples with exceptionally top talent.
Even Wen ng and others could only be described as outstanding, but not to the pinnacle in Heaven and Earth Lake.
"It’s a deal!" To have obtained an opportunity for a Hidden Dragon Sect disciple, Bainian Hanshan felt it was enough. A refusal from Wen Ping was to be expected; his approval would only be a chance occurrence.
Bainian Hanshan imdiately withdrew the sound insulation barrier, then smilingly asked, "Sect Leader Wen, how has Xiang been performing at the Immortal Sect?"
Wen Ping responded, "Very well."
"I’ve always worried she might cause trouble for you, that girl is the only one at ho, and she’s used to doing things her way."
Wen Ping still only replied with two words, "She’s normal."
...
The place where Xiahou fell to his demise.
After placing all the bodies of the Xia family mbers here, the chiefs began inspecting the injuries.
Generally speaking, one can discern the Vein Technique by looking at the injuries.
Because each Vein Technique leaves different scars and traumas.
While everyone was frowning, Bo Lian, who had left earlier, suddenly returned, "The three lords, there’s a situation with the Immortal Sect!"
"The Immortal Sect did it?" Lian Jin hurriedly asked!
Because Xiahou’s target is the Immortal Sect, hearing these three words, Immortal Sect, made him sowhat sensitive.
Bo Lian hurriedly said, "This still needs verification. However, the Immortal Sect is about to leave Vast City, they are currently on the way out of the city."
Wen Venerable was sowhat puzzled, "Leaving at this ti?"
"The Demon Slaying Competition of the Centennial Ceremony has just ended, and the entire process of the Centennial Ceremony is just halfway through. At this point, the Immortal Sect wants to leave, what does this an?"
Suo Tongfang, one of the three Golden Level Chiefs, said, imdiately looking at Bo Lian.
Bo Lian could only shake his head again, "This subordinate did not find anything."
"You..." Suo Tongfang was also speechless.
Such a large intelligence organization managed by him, yet he knows nothing.
Just only aware of so already occurred events.
The intelligence organization under his control has beco a surveillance organization.
At this ti, Lian Jin suddenly interrupted, "Lords, the Immortal Sect is like a fierce tiger, if we let them leave, it will be difficult to eliminate them later."
Wen Venerable asked, "You an to keep them?"
Lian Jin nodded and said, "Although my badge is broken, keeping them is easy. Those disciples from the Immortal Sect are exceptionally talented; those major forces outside Heaven and Earth Lake will surely fancy them and will definitely take them away. Therefore, we just need to use this as an excuse to keep the Immortal Sect for those three major forces. If the Sect Leader of Immortal Sect doesn’t agree, we can naturally act decisively and keep them forcibly, killing them is also not a problem, and those major forces outside Heaven and Earth Lake will certainly not say we did wrong."
"Let’s do according to what you said." Wen Venerable nodded imdiately.
...
Outside the city.
Endless ice, snow drifting for miles.
Wen Ping did not, like before, wait until a distance outside the city to take out the Flying Ship.
The matter of the Flying Ship has long been exposed, so taking it out here is the sa.
The mont the massive Flying Ship appeared from the System Space, the people of Hidden Dragon Sect, though seeing much, were still shocked.
"Everyone, get on board."
After Wen Ping’s words, except for Zi Ran and others who were still saying their goodbyes, everyone else got on the Flying Ship.
At this mont, a roar of a demon suddenly resounded in the sky.
Everyone hurriedly looked towards Vast City.
At the horizon, a gigantic Great Demon from the Wing Race was flying towards them.
The Great Demon’s figure was imnsely huge, over a hundred yards long; when flying low, the gales stirred by its wing flapping almost tore down the buildings on the ground.
Originally, the citizens of Vast City who ca to watch Wen Ping’s departure fleed the scene, only those above Divine Profound Realm dared to stay.
"Sect Leader Wen, please stay!"
On the back of the Giant Demon, Lian Jin shouted loudly.
Wen Ping looked intently and saw the attire was the sa as Situ Xiuneng’s, knowing this must be a Silver Level Chief of the Hundred Sects Alliance.
Originally wanted to hear what he was going to say next, but then Bainian Hanshan suddenly changed color and said, "Sect Leader Wen, this person is nad Lian Jin; he’s a madman and one of the Silver Level Chiefs of the Hundred Sects Alliance, and also the only person recognized by major powers outside Heaven and Earth Lake to have law enforcent powers during the Centennial Ceremony."
"He’s here to keep soone, certainly not with good intentions!" Bu Ling echoed from the side.
Wen Ping glanced at him, then responded calmly, "I don’t know him... Well, everyone, see you later!"
With that, he was about to board the Flying Ship and leave.
He intended to say goodbye, but Bainian Hanshan and others couldn’t speak out.
All stared at Lian Jin, unable to help but worry about the Immortal Sect.
Lian Jin is not easy to confront.
He’s a madman.
A madman who stops at nothing to achieve his goals.
He’s here to keep Wen Ping, yet Wen Ping is intent on leaving.
Wen Ping wanting to leave just like that, will be hard!
Lian Jin saw Wen Ping not stopping after hearing his words, a killing intent arose in his heart, but he held it back, then brought the Great Demon to hover over Wen Ping, looked down and said, "Sect Leader Wen, your sect shone brightly in the Team Competition and Demon Slaying Competition, but hasn’t yet received the praises from major powers outside Heaven and Earth Lake, why be in such a hurry to leave?"
"Praises? I’m not interested."
"Set sail!"
After Wen Ping’s words, the five-leaf sail imdiately rose.
The ladder also slowly began to retract.
Bainian Hanshan saw this, thought to himself this is bad.
Wen Ping simply did not give Lian Jin face.
Lian Jin is a madman; what may follow is not good.
Indeed, as soon as Lian Jin saw the Flying Ship setting sail, killing intent could no longer be contained, "Today, whether you stay or not, you must stay!"
With those words, the Wing Race Great Demon under his feet imdiately flew at the Flying Ship.
The massive body overshadowed everything, its sharp claws facing the Flying Ship like it was its prey.
"Sect Leader!"
He Nian imdiately prepared to face the enemy.
Wen Ping just held him down.
Since a free target presented itself, he suddenly wanted to try his Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression strength.
