“Are you not worried that her beauty has bewitched you?”
Seeing the look on Chen Ping’s face, Yan Nantian asked.
“How could that be? I am surrounded by countless beautiful women. It is impossible for one woman alone to seduce me.”
“Besides, tomorrow I will be bringing Sect Master Yan along. If there is any danger, will Sect Master Yan not protect me?”
Chen Ping said with a laugh.
Hearing that Chen Ping was taking him too, Yan Nantian also broke into a smile and clapped Chen Ping on the shoulder. “With me there, Liu Xue would not dare play any tricks. I will go and make arrangements at once.”
Just as Yan Nantian turned to leave, Chen Ping suddenly called out to him.
“Sect Master Yan, may I enquire about someone?”
“Who?”
“Do you happen to know the God King of the Divine Hall? The one from the God King Palace in the Eighth Heaven,” Chen Ping said.
“Of course I know him. The Divine Hall of the God Race is very famous. Although that God King resides in the Eighth Heaven, his strength is by no means weak. Why are you asking about him?” Yan Nantian asked, puzzled.
“The God King came to the Ninth Heaven and then lost contact. A friend asked me to make enquiries about him here in the Ninth Heaven,” Chen Ping explained.
“Several years ago, I saw that God King. At the time, he was with two Hall Masters from their Divine Hall, somewhere around Tianmen Mountain. I suppose they were also searching for the Tianmen Mountain ruin.”
“As for where he is now, I have no idea, but once we reach Tianmen Mountain, we can ask around.”
Yan Nantian said.
Hearing that the God King had last been seen in the Tianmen Mountain area, Chen Ping became even more determined to go.
“Excellent. Many thanks, Sect Master Yan.” Chen Ping nodded.
Yan Nantian turned to leave again, but seemed to remember something and turned back. “Chen Ping, may I take a little of your blood?”
Chen Ping was taken aback, unsure what Yan Nantian meant.
Why did he suddenly want his blood?
“Do not misunderstand. Our Yama Heaven Sect has certain secret techniques. Through your blood, I can locate the person standing behind you.”
“Do you not also wish to know where the person behind you actually is?”
Yan Nantian explained.
Chen Ping did not hesitate. He immediately pricked his fingertip and let a drop of blood fall into Yan Nantian’s palm, where it quickly spread out.
“Sect Master Yan, I should warn you, the person behind me might be a little… formidable. If anything happens to you, I cannot be held responsible.”
Chen Ping reminded him.
“Of course, of course. I am only sensing his location, nothing more. What could possibly go wrong?”
With that, Yan Nantian closed his eyes slightly. The blood in his palm turned into a wisp of red mist and began to drift.
Boom!
Suddenly, Yan Nantian’s eyes snapped open. His clothes instantly disintegrated into dust, as though weathered by time.
The entire main hall of the Yama Heaven Sect began to shake violently.
A mountain over ten thousand metres tall, not far from the sect, collapsed in an instant.
“What is happening?” All the disciples of the Yama Heaven Sect panicked and rushed outside.
When they saw Yan Nantian standing completely naked, every one of them was dumbfounded.
Chen Ping was utterly stunned too. He hurriedly took two steps back. “Sect Master Yan, do all the secret arts of your Yama Heaven Sect require such… enormous sacrifice?”
Yan Nantian said nothing. He slowly opened his palm. In the centre, the red blood had condensed into a single large character.
“Scram…”
Staring at that word, Yan Nantian swallowed hard and stammered, “Ch-Chen… Mister Chen, the person behind you is far too terrifying…”
With that, Yan Nantian turned and fled, leaving a trail of liquid on the ground behind him.
Although Yan Nantian had known from the start that an expert stood behind Chen Ping, he had never imagined the expert would be so utterly beyond comprehension.
He had only tried to probe the location lightly, yet it had nearly wiped out the entire sect.
Had the other party not shown mercy, the Yama Heaven Sect would already be gone.
Chen Ping glanced down and saw that Yan Nantian had actually wet himself in fright.
