Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 691 - 690: You should look for my senior brother.
"That is a Goddess, a high and mighty young genius of the Divine Clan. A pure Divine Clan bloodline flows through her veins, and her status is even more esteemed and dreadful than Li Chaoge's..." Cang Yun said gravely.
The Divine Clan was going to make a move, possibly for the "Tiger Land" as well. After all, the Sword Immortal had slain one of their Great Gods. Now, after so many long years, it was time to open that grand tomb. Therefore, a grand scheme had been arranged, featuring an eerie Nether Moon. The three of them had seen it early on, initially thinking it was just an ordinary slaughter.
"It seems that grand tomb truly exists," Cang Yun said. "If the Divine Clan launches a full-scale assault, we might not get a chance to approach it."
"Is there a possibility," Liu Changqing asked, "that this eerie moon could be broken by someone?"
"There is, but it's almost impossible," Cang Yun judged. "The ancient Divine Skills of the Divine Clan are unsolvable."
"Now there's a new variable..." Alan pointed towards the town.
The Divine Clan had deployed seven or eight Quasi-Emperor Realm experts, brought powerful Divine Weapons, and orchestrated a terrifying setup. No one knew how many more were hidden in the shadows. With such a formidable lineup, it was clear they intended to forcibly eliminate the Zhang Family and sweep across this vast region. Thus, it could almost be concluded that, with the Zhang Family's current strength, breaking through this Nether Moon would be exceedingly difficult, unless... there was still a Great Emperor alive within the Zhang Family. Most importantly, the Goddess had also arrived. Then there was the variable Alan had mentioned. For a moment, the slaughter permeating the Zhang Family's territory became bewildering and complex.
Cang Yun muttered to himself, "This woman is no simple character; her origins are astonishing. There are rumors that she doesn't belong to this world."
Liu Changqing took a sharp breath. "Forget it, forget it! We can't compete. Even that bastard Chen Pingping has arrived. What's left to fight over?"
By now, the three had completely lost hope, but they still weren't willing to give up. With the Divine Clan intervening to suppress the Zhang Family, and Chen Pingping coincidentally appearing, will he, as a variable in this grand scheme, provoke something? Or change something? Alan was looking forward to it. This guy has always been a troublemaker. And now, the high and mighty Goddess inexplicably approaches Chen Pingping... It's as if someone is pulling strings behind the scenes.
「...」
She was very cautious. Perhaps the saying was true: the higher one's status and the greater one's strength, the more one fears... lacking a certain indomitable confidence.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement around Jiang Ni'er.
Wang Lin'er immediately frowned. "It seems I really overestimated you."
Jiang Ni'er sighed. "Indeed. I don't cultivate. The one who cultivates is my martial brother; he's inside the town eating meat right now! I think... you two will definitely have a lot to talk about."
She didn't want to be involved. Her martial brother probably didn't want to either. But this woman clearly bore ill will, and Jiang Ni'er couldn't defeat her. What could she do? She would have to push it onto her martial brother.
Jiang Ni'er continued, "I think you are very beautiful, even prettier than all the women I've met. Your status and strength must be quite high, right?"
Wang Lin'er smiled without speaking.
"What a coincidence, my martial brother is too! Not only that, he's very handsome, a paragon among men..." Jiang Ni'er stated seriously.
Wang Lin'er responded with a dry laugh. "Heh!"
"Moreover, my martial brother has forged an Emperor Weapon and slain beings of the Emperor Realm. You two would be a good match." Jiang Ni'er tilted her head, a brilliant smile on her face. "Why not consider it?"
Only the three observing from a distance knew that Jiang Ni'er was not lying. But Wang Lin'er didn't know. The concepts instilled in her since childhood contained only one notion: the Human Clan was utterly mediocre. So, this martial brother Jiang Ni'er spoke of, no matter how outstanding, was probably just impressive by worldly standards—merely someone with a few accomplishments and slightly pleasing features at best. In Wang Lin'er's view, Jiang Ni'er was just an inexperienced girl who had never seen the true world. Had she ventured beyond her narrow confines, she likely wouldn't hold such an opinion.
Forged an Emperor Weapon? Slain someone in the Emperor Realm? HAHAHA! Does she truly think an Emperor Weapon is something trivial? And are cultivators of the Emperor Realm made of mud? Wang Lin'er found it absurd, feeling the girl was full of hot air, yet she couldn't deny a flicker of curiosity in her heart. After all, the Divine Clan's ancient Divine Skills weren't fully formed yet and would take some time. It might be worthwhile to see this 'martial brother' of hers and just how 'exceptional' he was...
"Lead the way!" Wang Lin'er said with a light laugh.
"I still need to observe the Divine Skills!" Jiang Ni'er frowned. "Go by yourself! My martial brother is eating at Fortune Inn. He ordered a table full of meat and is also drinking wine. If you're lucky and he gets drunk, you might have your chance. Go for it! Happiness is something you have to strive for yourself."
The more Jiang Ni'er spoke, the more outrageous she sounded, as if she'd completely lost her marbles.
Wang Lin'er couldn't be bothered with her and strode into the town.
Behind her, Jiang Ni'er secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Heh, Senior Brother can take the fall, not me, Ni'er!" Glancing toward the town as Wang Lin'er grew more distant, she reassessed the ancient Divine Skills in the sky. "How strange. This is my first time in Huangzhou, so why do I feel like I've seen this before?"
The initial part of her statement had not been a lie; she had indeed seen something like it before.
She then scanned her surroundings, only to find that Earth Chicken and Eight Treasures Chicken had vanished without a trace.
「Fortune Inn.」
The patrons were anxious, discussing the grave matter of the Divine Clan's invasion of the Zhang Family. Some believed that hundreds of millions of lives would likely face disaster. Once the Divine Clan's Divine Skills were perfected, unleashing a Great Emperor-level massacre, it was estimated that no one within the Zhang Family could withstand it, not even with the revival of an Emperor Weapon. This was because the Divine Clan also possessed Emperor Weapons. When that time came, they would open the great tomb suppressed by the Sword Immortal and revive the God Grid of the Divine Clan's Great God. That entity would also devour the Human Clan, using them as a supplement for Life Essence.
Hearing this, Chen Pingping was quite astonished. "They eat humans?"
The drunkard replied, "Them? The Divine Clan doesn't eat humans directly. Only the Big Shots within the Divine Clan—the Great Gods, and even those ancient Gods—would 'eat' humans. Of course... not by chewing, but through absorption. The Big Shots use the Human Clan as a supplement for Life Essence, essentially as food. This hasn't happened just once or twice."
FUCK! Chen Pingping was shocked. This was the first time he had heard such a claim. Indeed, the plots from novels were correct; in the world of cultivation, cannibalism was not unheard of!
He quickly leaned in and asked, "The First Swordsman of the Human Clan—did he really slay a God in the lands of Huangzhou?"
What did that imply? It was like someone slaying a massive dragon in their own backyard. Incredible! First of all, massive creatures like dragons were unlikely to appear in a backyard; it's too small. So Gods wouldn't appear in such a place either. Secondly... during the Era of Creation, the Nine Heavens lands didn't exist yet, right? How long must the Sword Immortal have lived for the Nine Heavens lands to emerge, enabling him to slay a God in Huangzhou? There were too many questionable points.
The drunkard chuckled. "Of course. Otherwise, why do you think the Divine Clan would invade the Zhang Family?"
Indeed! Chen Pingping glanced at the sky, saying with lingering fear, "With the Divine Clan setting up this grand scheme to suppress the Zhang Family, under the threat of such a terrifying massacre, we ought to be fleeing for our lives."
"You can't escape..." Beside him, a middle-aged Scholar sighed. "If the Zhang Family wins, peace will return to the Huangzhou lands, and the Divine Clan will suffer a heavy blow, requiring a long time to recover. But if the Zhang Family loses, we will all die."
"No exceptions!" the Scholar added emphatically.
Chen Pingping was startled. "What do you mean by that?"
