Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 700 - 699 I Found It

Sigh!

The Ancient Family is truly terrifying.

Chen Pingping felt depressed, growing more alarmed as he observed.

Leaving aside that Emperor Realm Ancestor, right here there were at least three to five Quasi-Emperor Realm individuals and dozens of Great Saint Realm powerhouses—not to mention the Saint Kings below them.

The young man who had just been clamoring to kill the Goddess was one such Saint King, along with another person, including those who had returned.

This foundation was indeed frightening. Compared with Wuji Sect, they immediately seemed poor and destitute. To describe them with the phrase 'impoverished family background' was quite appropriate.

"Who is this young master?" the Zhang Family Patriarch stepped forward.

As Chen Pingping observed the Zhang Family, they too were observing him. His internal aura was unexceptional, without any astonishing fluctuations. Apart from his good looks and extraordinary temperament, he seemed... to have nothing special! Why had Ziyu called him 'Ping' several times? Most importantly, from Ziyu's tone and attitude, it seemed as if this Ping in front of them was a big shot with an extremely impressive background. An origin more terrifying than their own Ancient Family.

"Oh, oh, Senior Patriarch, hello. My name is Chen Pingping," he replied respectfully, not daring to be too arrogant since he was on their turf.

"Daoist Chen!" the Patriarch chuckled lightly. "May I presume to ask a question?"

"You may ask several if you like, Senior."

"Daoist Chen, who are your mentors?" the Patriarch inquired.

WHOOSH!

All the Zhang Family members present turned their attention here, equally curious.

Chen Pingping thought for a moment before answering, "A small sect from the Southern Diaspora lands."

A middle-aged Steward asked subconsciously, "How small?"

"The sect occupies only a few tens of miles, with a population of merely three to five thousand," Chen Pingping honestly replied.

This response stunned the Zhang Family members.

A few tens of miles. Three to five thousand... Isn't this sect too small?

In contrast, their Zhang Family protected lands spanning hundreds of thousands of miles with a population in the hundreds of millions.

The Steward realized, "Indeed small."

Another person asked, "What about the strength of your Sect Master?"

Chen Pingping replied, "He only recently broke through to the Saint King Realm."

This? Isn't that too weak? In their Zhang Family's younger generation, any random one picked out was already at the Saint King Realm. And his Sect Master had only just made the breakthrough. By this estimation, the disciples of his sect must be quite weak, no? This fellow in front of them probably hasn't even broken through to the Saint Realm yet?

The cultivators of the Zhang Family immediately lost interest.

However, this fellow's relationship with Zhang Ziyu seemed quite good; Ziyu highly acknowledged him. Therefore, the Zhang Family couldn't just throw him out. The most crucial point was that Zhang Ziyu's attitude towards him far surpassed her attitude towards any of the Zhang Family's high-ranking members!

The elderly Patriarch smiled kindly. "Since you are a friend of Ziyu, you are also a friend of the Zhang Family. All who come are guests. There's no need to be overly formal in the Zhang Family."

Chen Pingping was astonished. "Oh, oh, alright. Thank you, Senior Patriarch."

At this moment, Zhang Luoshan also spoke up, "Correct. Feel free to ask for anything you need."

They weren't quite sure what Chen Pingping was here for, but... Forging a connection with Zhang Ziyu and accessing the avenue of the Ancient Family likely meant he was after some cultivation resources from the Zhangs. Just give it to him. The mighty Ancient Family wasn't that stingy. So Zhang Luoshan's comment was tantamount to telling Chen Pingping, "Just ask for whatever you want."

Perhaps there was another implication: get what you want and then scram! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Chen Pingping replied awkwardly, "Alright, alright. Thank you, Daoist Zhang."

Of course, there were also some young members of the Zhang Family who couldn't even be bothered with feigned politeness, their disdainful gazes openly scrutinizing Chen Pingping. The smiles at the corners of their mouths were so mocking and derisive.

If it weren't for their elders present here, they might have already challenged Chen Pingping. Using the challenge as a pretext, they would have blasted this shameless fellow out of the Zhang Family.

At this moment, Jiang Ni'er approached from afar. "Senior Brother!"

Oh? She even brought someone?

A group of Zhang Family members glanced over. In just a few breaths' time, hundreds of Divine Senses probed Jiang Ni'er's body.

Her Dantian was sealed, not yet cultivated. There were no fluctuations of Divine Sense. She was actually an ordinary person.

The crowd was astonished.

Chen Pingping also raised his head. "What is it?"

Jiang Ni'er glanced at the group of Zhang Family members and immediately furrowed her brow.

Chen Pingping smiled. "It's alright. They are all Ziyu's family members. Just speak whatever is on your mind."

"..."

This statement left the group of Zhang Family members speechless.

What did this girl mean? Did she think they, the Zhang Family, wanted to pry into the secrets of that shabby little sect of theirs? And she looked so guarded. To tell the truth, even if this girl shouted it out loud, they couldn't be bothered to listen.

Dozens of young disciples secretly rolled their eyes.

Jiang Ni'er hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've found that place."

"What place?" Chen Pingping asked.

"Tiger Land, the Power of the Four Symbols…" Jiang Ni'er said seriously.

What?

The Zhang Family members showed shocked expressions, staring intently at Jiang Ni'er.

What did she say? She knew where the Power of the Four Symbols was? Impossible! Absolutely impossible... The Four Symbols Land, Tiger Land, though in this region, throughout the generations of the Zhang Family, right up to the present, there had been no records of it. Most crucially, the news about the Sword Immortal slaying a Big Shot of the Divine Clan and suppressing him here was something the Zhang Family had only learned recently. Even the Four Symbols mentioned by Jiang Ni'er wouldn't be known to them had Zhang Ziyu not spoken of it. But this girl... How long had they been in Huangzhou? They had only arrived in the Zhang Family's territory a few hours ago. Yet she claimed to have found the Four Symbols Land, Tiger Land. Could it be fake?

Chen Pingping's face lit up with joy. "Really?"

Jiang Ni'er replied, "The Four Symbols, as the name implies, refer to the Four Gods—also known as the Four Gods' Sorrow. It's an array, not a seal. In an ancient era, the Sword Immortal contemplated the Four Great Divine Beasts and derived this array from them. That's how the cultivation of arrays came to be in later generations. Therefore, the Four Symbols can be understood as the progenitor of arrays. However, this particular array is difficult to execute and set up; even the Sword Immortal needed time to deploy it."

"Get to the point."

"It is difficult to separate and difficult to unravel. The Four Gods correspond to the Four Great Divine Beasts. When deploying it, one must harness their divine spirits lingering between heaven and earth to condense the essence of the array for its creation and operation. However, this Tiger Land... there seem to have been a few issues," Jiang Ni'er said.

The Zhang Family members were completely baffled.

Chen Pingping asked, "And then?"

Jiang Ni'er frowned. "The Ancient Zhang Family was tasked with guarding this place. However, due to the upheaval in Tiger Land, they experienced a disruption in their legacy, losing various records, including those of Tiger Land itself. Later, Lord Human Emperor visited this place to suppress Tiger Land. Wenliang also came to suppress it a second time. Various signs indicate that Tiger Land has already developed Spiritual Intelligence, and its exact location is a variable."

These words were utter nonsense, and they even offended the Zhang Family members. They were seething, glaring coldly at this girl. How dare she claim their lineage had suffered a disruption? Hmph! If this girl didn't offer a proper explanation, they would definitely 'invite' Jiang Ni'er to stay for dinner.

But the truth was, Jiang Ni'er was not speaking nonsense. Her words had a hidden meaning.

Chen Pingping seemed to half-understand. "You mean?"

Jiang Ni'er nodded. "Precisely."
