“I don’t know…”
Chen Ping shook his head.
In truth, Chen Ping was not sure either, whether it was really Mr. Shi who had acted.
Seeing that Chen Ping did not want to say, the woman said, “Come with me to the Ninth Heaven…”
The black-clothed woman led those white-clothed guards, along with Chen Ping, to the Ninth Heaven.
Just after Chen Ping and the others left, the void trembled. Then a black shadow appeared.
This black shadow was the one who had intercepted Chen Ping the first time.
Looking at the horribly dead King Mufa, the black shadow could not help but tremble twice.
Luckily he had not followed along, or he would not even know how he died.
“Report…”
The black shadow spat out two words, then slowly vanished.
What he could do now was report it. As for who the higher-ups would send to deal with Chen Ping, that was not his concern.
Anyway, he was no match for Chen Ping now.
Meanwhile, Chen Ping was following the black-clothed woman to the Ninth Heaven.
“Miss, how is your injury?” Chen Ping asked kindly.
The black-clothed woman just glanced at Chen Ping. She did not answer him. Instead, she asked, “How did that King Mufa just die, exactly?”
“I really don’t know…” Chen Ping felt speechless.
“Fine, don’t say then!” The black-clothed woman rolled her eyes.
“Fine, don’t believe then!” Chen Ping rolled his eyes too.
Seeing Chen Ping like that, the black-clothed woman suddenly let out a chuckle. “You are really funny. Is the one behind you the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord?”
Chen Ping was stunned. He looked puzzled. “Why do you ask that?”
“Because your golden scroll was the one our Yanluo Heavenly Sect gave to the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord back then. We have records of all our golden scrolls.”
“You did not think we hand out lots of golden scrolls without knowing who they go to, did you?”
The black-clothed woman explained.
When Chen Ping heard that, he laughed too. But he neither denied nor confirmed it.
Now the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord had only a wisp of remnant soul left. Not to mention dealing with King Mufa, even against ordinary cultivators here, the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord was no match.
“What is your name?” Chen Ping asked.
“I am called Guan Jun.” The black-clothed woman said.
“Champion?” Chen Ping was stunned. “Your parents must have had high hopes for you…”
The woman was stunned too. Then she laughed. “You are really funny…”
Chen Ping looked at Guan Jun’s face full of smiles. He could not help but laugh along. The atmosphere lightened up a lot for a moment.
He realised this might be a good chance to learn about the Yanluo Heavenly Sect and even the whole Ninth Heaven. So he put away his joking tone. He asked seriously, “Miss Guan, could you tell me in detail about the history and current state of the Yanluo Heavenly Sect?”
Seeing Chen Ping’s serious attitude, Guan Jun grew solemn too. She began to speak slowly. “The Yanluo Heavenly Sect is one of the oldest sects in the Ninth Heaven. Its origins can be traced back to ancient times. Back then, when heaven and earth first formed, and all living things first appeared, the ancestors of the Yanluo Heavenly Sect were already exploring the path of cultivation in this vast and boundless world.
Our sect takes it as its duty to control the cycle of life and death, and to maintain the balance of heaven and earth. Over countless ages, we have gradually formed a unique cultivation system and deep cultural heritage.”
As Chen Ping listened to Guan Jun’s words, only one thought popped into his mind: this person is bragging.
What ancient times, what heaven and earth first forming, what maintaining the balance of heaven and earth…
This was too fake!
“Lad, the Yanluo Heavenly Sect is absolutely the oldest sect in the Ninth Heaven. What this girl says is not wrong. It is just that the sect has declined. It is not as powerful as before.”
“Otherwise, why would I introduce the Yanluo Heavenly Sect to you? Given our relationship, I definitely want to help you.”
The voice of the Crimson Cloud Demon Lord rang in Chen Ping’s mind.
When Chen Ping heard that, he thought to himself. This Yanluo Heavenly Sect was so powerful. It seemed he needed to make good connections.
Even if it had declined now, if there were any ancient treasures or techniques in the sect, that would be fine too.
