Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 649: Who is Forcing the Master?
At the summit of the mountains, isolated from the world below, one could see layer upon layer of overlapping mountains, lush and verdant, brimming with life...
For some reason, Chen Pingping heard a tone of helplessness and desolation in White Emperor's seemingly calm words. But what could possibly be amiss? He pondered carefully for a long while before speaking, "It doesn't seem so."
White Emperor remained silent as the breeze tousled her long hair and fluttered her clothes, her mesmerizing eyes contemplating the vast lands and rivers in the distance.
It seemed as though she was reminiscing, contemplating.
And it was at this moment, Chen Pingping caught a glimpse of the shadow of a mother in White Emperor.
Yes! She was more than just an Emperor Realm; she was a mother.
Contemplating this, he felt a twinge of guilt in his heart and inquired, "My Lord? Are you alright?"
"What is hidden in the courtyard? Xia'er never let me touch it. She even had powerful Array Masters set up Arrays. Tens of thousands of years have passed..." White Emperor mused, then her voice softened. "I can clearly feel that Xia'er is not happy. She has always longed for the outside world, yet... the outside world is very dangerous for her."
"How dangerous?" Chen Pingping was surprised.
"Just like your master."
"..."
Fuck?
That serious?
Chen Pingping ventured a bold guess, "In that case, Xia'er's father isn't from this world?"
He had seen the Bloodline Power Yue Wuxia showcased and the scriptures accumulated over tens of thousands of years. These were truly terrifying. He had even seen that tall figure slashing a sword at him.
It seemed like a warning.
But Chen Pingping didn't know that White Emperor's words were actually a test for him.
When he asked about Yue Wuxia's "father," White Emperor found her answer; she laughed, but the smile was tinged with bitterness.
Her speculation wasn't wrong; Yue Wuxia had been unleashing her Bloodline Power all along.
"This question, I do not wish to answer," White Emperor chuckled.
Uh...
Chen Pingping felt awkward. "Yes, these are personal matters of my Lord."
White Emperor looked at him. "There's another issue, a very serious one."
Here it comes, here it comes.
This Emperor Realm big shot was indeed about to settle old scores.
Chen Pingping braced himself.
"Did you truly slay the Demon Emperor?" White Emperor asked.
Huh?
Wasn't she supposed to dredge up past grievances?
Chen Pingping cleared his throat. "My Lord jokes. I do not have the strength to slay the Demon Emperor."
White Emperor countered, "But the Demon Emperor fell because of you."
"..."
White Emperor smiled. "Though I'm quite interested in you, I also know that everyone has their own secrets. Therefore, I do not wish to inquire too much. Of course, that's if you're willing to tell me. So? Are you willing to speak?"
Fuck!
What kind of nonsense is this?
She doesn't want to know, yet she follows up with, 'Are you willing to tell me?'
Should he interpret this as White Emperor threatening him?
Chen Pingping frowned and explained, "Daoyan gave me the Heaven Tao Stone, within which a powerful being is concealed; it was this being that slew the Demon Emperor."
Oh?
White Emperor narrowed her eyes. "Who?"
Chen Pingping replied, "Blackhead Duck."
Upon hearing this, her smile stiffened, and it took a while before she spoke again. "Alright. I have been searching for it for tens of thousands of years, never expecting it to be hidden within the Heaven Tao Stone. Are you preparing to excavate Daoyan's tomb?"
Chen Pingping coughed. "It seems so, but it was not successful."
"So? A Quasi-Emperor Realm duck slew a Demon Emperor?"
"No, there was also Yu Changfeng."
"I see..." White Emperor suddenly understood.
Chen Pingping's explanation was logical and reasonable.
The duck was extraordinary to begin with, hiding far too many secrets within itself, and it was joined by Yu Changfeng, a royal descendant who had failed Tao Verification several times.
Together, the combined efforts of one person and one duck could indeed slay the Demon Emperor.
Additionally, there was the support from the Qingfeng lineage, among others.
But in the eyes of White Emperor, the greatest credit still belonged to Chen Pingping, because he was the main character who had orchestrated this grand scheme.
Brave and resourceful.
Unfortunately, his alignment isn't right; the imperial lineage is destined to face those terrifying existences. Otherwise, he would have been quite suitable for Xia'er.
White Emperor looked into the distance and said softly, "All the incidents of the past, I will not hold against you, nor will I rake up your old wrongdoings. But after you leave the Southern Region, do not come looking for Xia'er, nor try to see her again."
Indeed...
Before coming here, Chen Pingping had anticipated such a situation; White Emperor had indeed misunderstood.
Chen Pingping explained, "My Lord, you've misunderstood."
White Emperor shook her head. "I have not misunderstood, but that's not important. You will eventually be on your way, leaving this place, won't you?"
Yes!
He would eventually be on his way, and that should be quite soon, so he probably wouldn't see Yue Wuxia again.
"My Lord, may I ask you for a favor?" Chen Pingping spoke.
"Speak."
"I want to know who stands on the Ancient Road." He slowly opened his eyelids, gazing up into the Heavens.
There was a notion deep within his heart, but he dared not be sure of it.
White Emperor quietly watched him. "Do you really want to know?"
Chen Pingping nodded. "Yes!"
"For you, it would be best not to know. But if you insist, you indeed have the right to know..." White Emperor also lifted her head.
Without any superfluous words, she directly demonstrated Tao and Divine Skills.
From the Void, she cleaved a path, a path that allowed one to see upon the Ancient Road, which could also be considered a mirror.
Following the path, Chen Pingping looked on, and in the next moment, he saw the figure on the Ancient Road—it was actually his mentor, Wen Yuqing.
She was supporting the Undying Furnace, kneeling silently on that road.
On the other side of the Ancient Road stood many Golden Soldiers and several formidable beings, exuding a suffocating aura.
Strangely enough, with Wen Yuqing's single kneel, she deterred everyone on the Ancient Road; no one dared to step over, let alone speak out of turn, as if fearing something.
It was as though Wen Yuqing's kneel was releasing the most powerful Tao and Divine Skills in the world.
Chen Pingping's mouth fell open a bit as he breathed heavily, his chest heaving intensely. He couldn't believe it and stared wide-eyed at his mentor on the Ancient Road.
She was kneeling.
Why was she kneeling?
At this moment, Chen Pingping thought of many things.
This woman, who had gone through countless Reincarnations, stubborn and unyielding, was she compromising with them?
She once said, "The Heavens and myriad realms are nothing special."
Yes!
Her tone was very light yet carried an undeniable resoluteness, along with an innate arrogance.
Hundreds of thousands of years had passed.
On the journey forward, time and again, her faith had never wavered.
No one knew what she had experienced, how many paths drowned in darkness she had walked, or how many terrifying foes she had faced.
All alone, only her slender figure continued to press onward.
Her determination and stubbornness were etched into her bones.
She never gave up, nor did she admit defeat.
She liked to smile and make light of tough journeys, hiding the "hardships" deep within her heart.
And now this mighty woman was kneeling on the Ancient Road.
How could Chen Pingping not be moved?
His first thought was not to question, but to feel choked with anger; his mentor must have encountered something, otherwise, she wouldn't compromise.
CRACK!
Chen Pingping clenched his fists, his bones crackled, and the killing intention began to slowly boil within him as he coldly observed the Ancient Road.
Who was it?
Who was forcing his mentor?
Fuck, you dare to mess with my woman?
