Chapter 82: Chapter 82 The Senior Brother Exposed Himself

Dozens of powerful experts from the Fire Tribe approached, bristling with killing intent. They included those of the fifth rank and even more of the sixth rank. The leading Elder stood at the late stage of the sixth rank.

Despite his aged appearance, withered face, and yellowed complexion, he was bursting with vitality, his eyes deep and emanating powerful fluctuations.

Soon, they arrived at the doorstep of the inn.

All the experts from the Wilderness tribe hastily retreated, daring not to linger.

Jin Qiongyu, upon receiving the news, also arrived at the scene immediately. From a distance, she watched with a trembling heart, her eyes filled with worry.

Next to her, a servant girl whispered, "Miss, you must stay rational."

Last time, Chen Pingping broke into the Emperor Clan’s ancestral land and took two great treasures of the Fire Tribe. Although it wasn’t Jin Qiongyu’s fault... in the eyes of the Fire Tribe, it was her fault.

This time, as the two met again, if she could not express her stance, she might very well be abandoned by the Fire Tribe.

Jin Qiongyu remained silent.

A cool breeze swept through the area. Following the members of her clan to the front of the inn, she happened to meet Chen Pingping’s gaze as he turned his head. His expression was calm, his eyes deep and dark. He nodded at her without saying much.

Him!

Jin Qiongyu felt a jolt in her heart, almost suffocating.

For some reason, seeing Chen Pingping again, she would rather he explode in anger, then point at her and scold... No matter what he scolded, it would be okay.

Why did you deceive me?

You’re actually Jin Qiongyu, the young genius of the Fire Tribe.

You fraud!

But he didn’t. His demeanor was too calm, his gaze the same, looking at her as if he didn’t care at all, as if... their past encounters were worthless to him.

This threw Jin Qiongyu into a panic.

"Human practitioner, you have such audacity! To break into our clan’s ancestral land and steal our two great treasures..." the Elder berated. "Return our clan’s treasures immediately, and we may leave you with an intact corpse."

These words further confirmed that Chen Pingping had indeed broken into the Emperor Clan’s ancestral land.

Experts of the Wilderness tribe watching from within and without were all startled.

The Fire Tribe was the foremost among the Four Great Imperial Clans, possessing immense strength and a profound heritage, feared even by the Ancient Races. Yet he, a lone human, dared to challenge them in their own domain.

This wasn’t merely a matter of courage; it was a suicidal disregard for his own life.

What unsettled them even more was that Chen Pingping showed no intention of fleeing, from beginning to end. Calmly, and with apparent interest, he looked at the Emperor Clan experts and asked, "Did you bring the Sacred Soldiers?"

Hmm?

Everyone was astonished.

Has this fellow lost his mind?

If the Fire Tribe brought Sacred Soldiers, could he possibly leave here alive?

To the Fire Tribe experts, however, his words dripped with irony, implying: I am so strong that without Sacred Soldiers, you cannot defeat me.

The Elder’s face darkened, his expression turning quite grim.

Huo Yan, beside the Elder, felt the same. He stared intently at Chen Pingping, his unsettling eyes brimming with killing intent. Recalling their encounter in the ancestral land, he could barely contain his fury.

His pride as a genius would not allow anyone to mock him!

However, he seemed to have forgotten how Chen Pingping had defeated him in the ancestral land. This time was no exception; his mighty attack was effortlessly crushed.

With a wave of Chen Pingping’s hand, a fierce wind erupted, sending the highly-regarded genius flying.

It was very direct.

Sixth rank! He’s a Divine King!

At that moment, many onlookers perceived his cultivation level and were struck silent with awe and fear.

No wonder he dared to challenge the entire Emperor Clan! So that’s the reason!

A Divine King from the Human Clan!

His strength far surpassed all others. It was no surprise then that he had asked whether the Fire Tribe brought their Sacred Soldiers.

He clearly had a plan!

Yes!

That was indeed the case.

He planned to enter the depths of the Boundary Monument, find that suppressed predecessor, and then pull the sword from his body. But... he was even more aware that without a strong trump card, rashly stepping in could very likely mean no return.

This place was unlike other Life Prohibited Zones; it was fraught with countless unknown dangers and shrouded in layers of mystery.

After days of investigation and learning more about it, Chen Pingping was acutely aware of the dangers.

Therefore, he set his sights on the Fire Tribe’s Sacred Soldiers. If he could obtain one, it might increase his chances of survival.

"Human Clan Divine King," the Elder roared, "our tribe also has sixth-rank experts! This time, you will undoubtedly die!"

This declaration sobered up the spectating members of the Wilderness tribe considerably.

Chen Pingping was facing a powerful Emperor Clan. Furthermore, among the dozens of experts present, over eighty percent were at the sixth rank.

With the explosive might of their Bloodline Power, slaying this Human Clan Divine King was not impossible.

"He’s finished," someone whispered. "The Bloodline Power of the Emperor Clan is extraordinary, far beyond what a Human Clan Divine King can match. Not to mention, they also possess unique talent abilities."

"Yes!"

"That Human Clan Divine King was too arrogant."

"He should have fled much earlier."

The slaughter erupted swiftly.

The entire ancient town transformed into a battlefield. Dozens of sixth-rank Emperor Clan experts attacked simultaneously. Their Bloodline Power erupted, and their overwhelming Power Paths surged like volcanic fissures, shaking the very air and causing it to hum.

One talent ability followed another, a deluge that blotted out the sky. There were devouring abilities, various skills, Sword Dao, saber techniques, and more—truly innumerable.

Some Emperor Clan experts were even manifesting the Great Tao, though only in a rudimentary form.

Jin Qiongyu, who had not yet joined the fray, felt her heart constrict. He...

"Miss, you must remain calm!" the maid urged, pulling her back from the battlefield. "He is of the Human Clan, and you are of the Emperor Clan. You were born into different worlds; your destinies should reflect that."

As Jin Qiongyu’s maid, she knew very well what her mistress had experienced. If she wasn’t mistaken, her mistress had fallen for this man from the Human Clan.

But the chasm between their clans was undeniable—they could never be together.

The Eight Treasures Chicken and the Earth Chicken fled, with the little black dog, Hei, following close behind. Just as they escaped the ancient town, they encountered Guang Xiaoyu leading the Old Yellow Cow.

"Hei!" Guang Xiaoyu flashed a toothy smile. "Great, I’ve finally found you guys."

WOOF WOOF!

The little black dog Hei was excited, wagging its tail and circling around Guang Xiaoyu.

The Eight Treasures Chicken squawked, "Quick, run! Boss is inside fighting! He’s holding back the Emperor Clan experts so we can escape! We need to get out of here as fast as possible!"

If Chen Pingping had heard that, he would surely have slapped the chicken. What does it mean, ’holding back the Emperor Clan experts to let them escape’?

Guang Xiaoyu’s eyes darted about, her gaze fixed on the battlefield.

Before arriving, she had heard news that the Human Clan cultivator Chen Pingping was challenging the Emperor Clan. She had thought it was false! To her surprise, it turned out to be true.

Chen Pingping!

My Senior Brother!

Guang Xiaoyu’s eyes shone fiercely, suddenly excited. Senior Brother has really been hiding his strength, playing the wolf in sheep’s clothing! Senior Brother is actually a genuine Divine King!

Finally, I get to see Senior Brother in action!

Such an exhilarating scene! Of course, I have to savor it properly!

But the battle ended quickly. Even though the Emperor Clan had many members, including quite a few at the sixth rank, Chen Pingping’s eruption of power was too terrifying—immense, refined, and focused. The Sword Dao he unleashed was also different from any ordinary Sword Dao.

That intense killing intent seemed to pierce right through their bodies.

With just two sword strikes, all the attacking Emperor Clan experts were repelled. Each one suffered heavy injuries, their faces paling as they spat mouthfuls of blood.

When they looked at Chen Pingping again, their eyes were filled with terror.

Guang Xiaoyu, watching from the sidelines, was also dumbstruck. Only one thought echoed in her mind: Senior Brother, isn’t this... just too strong?!
