Chapter 719: 714. Demon Realm Entrance Guard — Silver Level Chief

The breakthrough to the Mountain Suppression Realm was only a step away; it could be as simple as it was complicated.

Without the Unbreakable Mirror Pill, he had other methods. He just needed to use the "Changmo Technique" to absorb a large amount of Wood Qi, using this Wood Qi as energy to open the third Meridian Gate.

However, opening the Meridian Gate required an extremely large amount of Wood Qi, and such an abundance wasn’t easy to find. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been frantically planting Jianmu and Immortal Trees in the Immortal Sect. Even with the Red-eyed Giant Apes planting trees, it wasn’t enough; he also placed over a dozen Mountain Suppression Realm experts under Situ Xiuneng in the tree-planting team.

However, he might try his luck at the Demon Emperor Lake. Last time, when passing over the lake, he saw the lush endless forest of the Demon Emperor Lake. It could nurture such a vast number of demons, so presumably its ecological environment should be the best among the Heaven and Earth Lake, with naturally abundant Wood Qi.

After making his decision, Wen Ping set off directly to meet Long Yue. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He could go to the Demon Emperor Lake, but the Immortal Sect people still had to stay in Vast City. So Long Yue couldn’t accompany him to the Demon Emperor Lake; she had to stay here to look after her father, Zi Ran, and the others.

Even though Long Yue was injured, she could still handle some ill-intentioned people.

Although the chances of something happening during the Centennial Convention were small, the Long Family, He Mansion, and Prince Longyang’s people were all in the Demon Realm now, there’s no guarantee that the Hundred Sects Alliance wouldn’t have some ulterior motives.

Long Yue readily agreed to Wen Ping’s request.

However, Long Yue’s curiosity was not small.

"Wen Ping, are you planning to help my brother?"

Long Yue began to guess all possible reasons for Wen Ping leaving Vast City.

She felt that although Wen Ping seemed unconcerned about the Spirit Body breakthrough opportunity on the surface, he certainly desired it desperately inside.

"I’m not concerned about the Long Family’s matters." But Wen Ping left with just a casual remark and exited Long Yue’s room.

Long Yue said, "Then why did you save me?"

Just as the words left Long Yue’s mouth, Wen Ping had already closed the door, leaving the sound of his departing footsteps, along with a rather annoying sentence, "Don’t misunderstand, I’m just saving my father."

"Wen Ping, don’t misunderstand either. I promised to take good care of your people while you’re away, only to repay the kindness your father showed me that day, not to help you."

Long Yue purposely ran to the doorway, opened the door, and shouted at Wen Ping’s departing back, as if this way she had won.

After returning to her room, Long Yue kept mumbling.

This guy is unlike her sister or his father, Wen Yan. It’s truly strange.

Just as Long Yue had returned to her room, Pei Wu walked into the inn.

Even without releasing Perception, Pei Wu clearly heard what Long Yue said.

However, after hearing it, Pei Wu pretended not to hear and continued walking inside.

While walking, he called out, "Sect Leader Wen, Sect Leader Wen, are you there..."

"What’s the matter?"

Wen Ping stood at the staircase, overlooking Pei Wu.

Pei Wu grinned widely and said, "Oh, it’s nothing major. I just brought a few small items to thank Sect Leader Wen. If it weren’t for your warning that day, I would have been in trouble."

Pei Wu didn’t elaborate since walls have ears.

Wen Ping understood.

Wen Ping was just about to head to the Demon Realm, so he naturally didn’t have time for pleasantries with Pei Wu, "Leave the stuff, you can go now."

"Don’t be like that." Pei Wu handed the items to H Lan at the side and then walked up towards Wen Ping, "Can you take me with you wherever Sect Leader Wen is going? Pei Wu believes his strength can still be of help to Sect Leader Wen. As long as it is against the Hundred Sects Alliance, I’m willing to assist wholeheartedly!"

Wen Ping’s tone, to outsiders, was arrogant, giving no face.

But when Pei Wu heard it, its meaning was completely different.

Wen Ping replied, "Your strength might get you killed if you go."

"Uh..." Pei Wu was momentarily speechless.

He wanted to confirm whether Wen Ping was joking.

While pondering it back and forth in his mind for an answer, an unpleasant aura appeared outside the inn.

Chen Xie had actually followed all the way here!

Chen Xie’s courage was indeed significant!

Actually, Chen Xie was also very conflicted at this moment; he hesitated a long time before deciding to leave the Beast Vehicle to meet Wen Ping.

First, investigating Wen Ping for the recently occurred events in the Demon Realm meant breaking and returning the olive branch Wen Ping had extended days ago.

At the moment, he didn’t want to make such a decision; the temptation of opening a new era was too great.

Second, he genuinely wanted to know what kind of undercurrents were hiding behind the recently happened events in the Demon Realm.

For some reason, he just felt that Wen Ping knew.

As soon as Chen Xie reached the entrance, H Lan went out to greet him, "Senior Brother, why have you come?"

"I came to see Sect Leader Wen," Chen Xie replied with a smile.

Saying this, Chen Xie asked the attendant to wait outside while he entered the inn alone.

"Sect Leader Wen, it’s an honor to meet you."

Looking at the extremely young Wen Ping, despite having seen Wen Ping’s portrait no less than a hundred times, he was still surprised.

Someone of Wen Ping’s age at Heaven and Earth Lake just barely qualified to enter the Newcomer List and had no one like Wen Ping with such equal standing to converse with Pei Wu.

Wen Ping walked down, "Chen Xie, have you come to give me an answer?"

Chen Xie forced out a smile of awkwardness, feeling a hint of fear, "Sect Leader Wen, could this matter be postponed to another day? Today I came for other matters."

With Pei Wu here, if Wen Ping mentioned the recruitment, Pei Wu would certainly embellish it greatly and spread the word.

By then, the Hundred Sects Alliance would have no place for Chen Xie to stand.

Wen Ping said, "There’s not much time, make your decision soon. If you don’t want the opportunity that Master Zi Ran gave you, I can train others."

"I will certainly make my decision early."

After saying this, Chen Xie thought to himself that he had come at the wrong time today.

As expected, Pei Wu’s gaze toward him was completely different from before.

Although Wen Ping didn’t elaborate on anything, everyone could tell that Chen Xie had some connection with the Immortal Sect.

Pei Wu smiled with a hint of depth and called out, "Chen Xie, you certainly have a good teacher."

Chen Xie’s heart skipped a beat once again.

It’s over!

Within a few days, the Hundred Sects Alliance will be a place where he can’t find sanctuary.

Wise for a lifetime, but foolish for a moment.

The achievements he has today are because of his curiosity about problems.

Perhaps being forced to leave the Hundred Sects Alliance will also be because of his great curiosity about problems.

While Chen Xie’s mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, Pei Wu was already stepping back to leave, saying, "Sect Leader Wen, since you still have matters to attend to, I won’t continue to disturb you."

Pei Wu was quite pleased at this moment, not expecting a double blessing today.

Chen Xie, within the Hundred Sects Alliance, was an extraordinary talent who wasn’t in favor, possessing unique talents in intelligence. The intelligence organization of the Hundred Sects Alliance, under his hand, had a vague tendency to annex other intelligence organizations.

In his view, as long as the Hundred Sects Alliance and the Scatterer Station go to war again, it would definitely be a great enemy to the Scatterer Station.

In other words, Chen Xie could install countless eyes for the Hundred Sects Alliance.

So in recent years, the spies planted by the Scatterer Station within the Hundred Sects Alliance often incited envious and petty individuals to ostracize and frame Chen Xie.

It’s just that after years of failed framing, now he has connections with the Immortal Sect.

This matter must be exaggerated to make people within the Hundred Sects Alliance stir up trouble, causing those envious of the talented to shake the Silver Level Chief’s trust in Chen Xie, and count it as helping the Immortal Sect.

As long as Chen Xie is not in the Hundred Sects Alliance, anywhere is fine.

When Pei Wu left, Wen Ping also intended to head to the Demon Realm. Before leaving, he looked at the wooden Chen Xie and said, "Chen Xie, if you’ve made up your mind, come to me here. Even if I’m not around, someone will ensure your safety."

"At least in the Heaven and Earth Lake, no one dares to kill you here."

After adding that, Wen Ping promptly proceeded to the Demon Realm.

Chen Xie’s mind was a bit muddled at this moment, but he knew now was the time to make a decision.

He didn’t have much time to think it over.

"Senior brother?" H Lan saw Chen Xie in a daze and quickly nudged him.

Upon regaining his senses, Chen Xie left behind a sentence and dashed out the door, "Junior brother, give my regards to Master."

He had no mind to care about Demon Realm affairs, he just wanted to go home now.

Go home and pack his cherished items, ready to pick sides at any moment.

As for the Immortal Sect.

Or the Hundred Sects Alliance.

In a few days, the result will naturally come.

...

Entrance to the Demon Realm.

"Rest assured, my three lords, I guarantee there will be no mistakes this time!" Bo Lian, one of the Silver Chiefs directly above Chen Xie, assured the three of the Wen Venerable.

As the Silver Level Chief responsible for the Demon Realm, after such a big incident in the Demon Realm last night, the first thing Bo Lian did was to send additional manpower.

In addition to dispatching 20 Mountain Suppression experts, he also added three Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression experts to guard.

Thinking to avoid any further incidents, he even called upon a Silver Level Chief friend to help patrol, ensuring no mistakes whatsoever.

Of course, he didn’t tell anyone that he had a Silver Level Chief friend helping with the patrol.

Wen Venerable said, "Get your people to investigate immediately, see if it’s related to the mysterious Demon King from that day."

During the Centennial Gathering, with such events occurring, the three of the Wen Venerable felt a bit uneasy.

Because indeed, there have been a lot of happenings during this period.

Especially at this critical juncture, any incident feels like a portent of something significant.

Bo Lian continued, "Rest assured, my three lords, this time I’ve deployed enough manpower to make the Demon Realm airtight, not even a fly can get in!"

Bo Lian glanced at the Mountain Suppression experts guarding the entrance to the Demon Realm, feeling extremely satisfied.

Of course, the satisfaction wasn’t towards them, but towards having a Silver Level Chief friend willing to help him with this affair.

Also, besides him, who else at the Heaven and Earth Lake has such influence.

...

Snow was drifting about, and the cold wind howled.

A young man in white clothing walked from the warm and spring-like Vast City to the snowy outskirts, attracting strange looks from many people.

In this bitter cold, with nothing to do, why would he run outside the city?

At the outskirts where many Hundred Sects Alliance experts have died at the Demon Realm, going out now means he must be an idiot, right?

Indeed, this idiot was Wen Ping.

Upon reaching the surroundings of the Demon Realm’s entrance, many powerful auras appeared within his perception.

"Hmm? How come there are so many Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression guarding, and there’s even one whose aura is not weaker than Situ Xiuneng. For such strong individuals to guard the entrance to the Demon Realm, the Hundred Sects Alliance is indeed generous."

If it were him with such powerful individuals, he would definitely be reluctant to use them as mere gatekeepers.

Then, Wen Ping took out the Magic Wand.

"Hear my summons..."
