Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 710 - 709: We Have Magnanimity
The Zhang Family really is underwhelming, isn't it?
Whether in ages past or the present, no one had ever dared to say such a thing. After all, the Zhang Family is an Ancient Family with a long lineage and profound foundation. They even had a few powerful Quasi-Emperor Realm figures, and it was said their Emperor Realm ancestors were still alive. Yet, for some reason, upon hearing Wen Qingshan's words, they looked at each other in dismay, unable to find the words to rebut.
Because indeed, there were no cultivators of Heavenly Fortune Tao among the Zhang Family. Not even those Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouses possessed such perceptive abilities. Perhaps, among the three to five thousand factions, some individuals had such insight, but their cultivation realms were too low to be of much use. Secondly, in a region spanning tens of thousands of miles with a population of over a hundred million, it seemed they couldn't find many Array Masters.
Wen Qingshan sighed, "This foundation of yours is too shallow, isn't it?"
The Zhang Family members: "..."
"I wonder if Fellow Daoist has any formidable Array Masters?" a young man, unable to contain his resentment, spoke up to challenge.
He thought to himself, although Wuji Sect has the Void Body and the Heaven Insight Body, it doesn't necessarily mean they have cultivators who practice arrays, right? Even if they do, at most they would be at the King Tao level or perhaps Divine King level. One must understand, the inheritance of arrays is rarer than that of Alchemists, and most lineages have already been severed. Very few individuals are able to cultivate to the state of Perfection on their own.
Wen Qingshan gave a faint smile and said, "Of course, there are." Saying this, he glanced at Chen Pingping and Jiang Ni'er. He remembered that when the two had gone to Huangzhou, they took the Earth Chicken with them.
"Does Fellow Daoist know what it means to be an Array Master?" a Steward asked.
"Of course, I know," Wen Qingshan replied with a smile, his gaze once again passing over Chen Pingping and Jiang Ni'er.
The two were speechless. Why did this guy say everything, letting slip all the Wuji Sect's secrets without any restraint? It felt like he was about to reveal everything!
Jiang Ni'er glared at him.
Chen Pingping waved his hand, launching an attack in a certain direction.
The Earth Chicken, who was still chatting idly with Li Chaoge, was startled by this attack and then said, "Fine, you wait here. I'll go take a look and, by the way, tell Chen Pingping that you want to see him."
After saying that, the Earth Chicken, followed by the Eight Treasures Chicken, raced towards the Zhang Family's location.
Behind it, Li Chaoge's face was expressionless.
Soon, those two chickens gradually came into view of the Zhang Family members, who were instantly stunned.
Cultivating arrays? Two chickens? No way! Can these things even know array formations?
But those two chickens looked quite extraordinary. The Earth Chicken had the large figure of an Ancient Phoenix, with bright and colorful feathers, filled with vibrant hues and radiance, striding proudly alongside the Eight Treasures Chicken. As they swept their gaze over a group of Zhang Family members, the disdain in their eyes was barely concealed.
"???"
It was actually mocking them, the members of the Zhang Family!
A group of Zhang Family powerhouses stared with wide eyes.
"Kid? Why did you summon old mother?" the Earth Chicken asked, looking askance.
WHAT THE HELL? It can talk? This chicken has become a spirit! They were a bit flabbergasted.
Chen Pingping asked, "Have you found any clues?"
The Earth Chicken thought for a moment. "Of course! The Tiger Land, utilizing the Power of the Four Symbols, is the first array formation of the Human Clan. Its setup is extremely intricate, profound, and mysterious, containing deep meanings and supreme truths. However... who do you think I am? Ordinary people could never deduce its exact location, because the Tiger Land's existence isn't fixed."
"Get to the point."
"The entrance to Tiger Land has become divine. We just need a little temptation to guide it out," the Earth Chicken said slowly.
As soon as these words were uttered, all the Zhang Family members were shocked.
It could actually deduce the location of Tiger Land? That has to be a lie, right?
Throughout the long years the Zhang Family had guarded this area, although their inheritance and information had been interrupted, they had never found the so-called Tiger Land, nor had they grasped the slightest inkling of its secrets. This had nothing to do with Heavenly Fortune Tao or Array Masters. Truly, it was because Tiger Land had become a divine place, and not even an Ancient Family would necessarily know of it.
For a moment, everyone's gaze converged on the Earth Chicken.
She continued, "Isn't this kid a Sword Immortal's Successor? Just throw him out, and Tiger Land will surely appear. However... although I practice arrays, seals, and taboos, I have no way to subdue Tiger Land. Once it appears, I won't be able to suppress it either."
"This old man can do that," a Zhang Family Quasi-Emperor spoke up. As he said this, he heaved a hidden sigh of relief in his heart.
In the end, they'll still have to rely on us, the Zhang Family! We are an Ancient Family, after all.
If the Earth Chicken had directly said she could find Tiger Land and suppress it, then the Zhang Family's inaction would have been embarrassing. Fortunately, the Earth Chicken clarified that she couldn't suppress it either, so the Zhang Family could still be useful and not utterly worthless.
"You can't do it!" the Earth Chicken glanced at him.
"I am at the Quasi-Emperor Realm."
"Even if a powerhouse of the Emperor Realm came, they wouldn't be able to suppress Tiger Land."
"..." The old man's expression froze.
At this time, Chen Pingping asked, "Who can suppress it?"
"Naturally, that duck," said the Earth Chicken.
A duck? A group of people from the Zhang Family stared with wide eyes, disbelieving. Is she implying that our Ancient Family is inferior to a duck? Everyone felt indignant. That chicken is bragging way too much!
Chen Pingping smiled. "Call it over."
The Earth Chicken's eyes darted around. "Ahem... it's not willing."
Chen Pingping asked, "Why not?"
"It says it has a grudge with your Zhang Family, so it dares not come," said the Earth Chicken.
"A grudge with us?" frowned an Elder. "This chicken... oh, this Fellow Daoist, our Zhang Family is, after all, an Ancient Family and a major power. Please be reassured, we are magnanimous and broad-minded; we won't hold a grudge against it. Please ask this Brother Duck to come without worry."
"Exactly, we are an Ancient Family." As matters stood, the Zhang Family members had to admit something: when it came to Tiger Land, they were truly out of their depth.
"Ancient Families all possess great magnanimity…" another chimed in.
"Let it come!"
"Rest assured, whatever the grievance or resentment, our Zhang Family won't hold it against it," a group of high-ranking members declared.
On one hand, they were curious: since when did their Zhang Family have a feud with a duck? On the other hand, they felt some resentment. A duck that could suppress Tiger Land? That had to be nonsense! Their Zhang Family was an Ancient Family, after all. They even had several Quasi-Emperor Realm experts. If they joined forces to activate an Emperor Weapon, wouldn't suppressing Tiger Land be as easy as flipping a hand?
The Earth Chicken's eyes spun again, signaling Mao Qiu to bring the Blackhead Duck over. Upon receiving the signal, Mao Qiu chirped incessantly, flailing its tiny claws. The Blackhead Duck beside it was utterly bewildered. In the end, Mao Qiu simply took matters into its own paws, dragging the duck to the Zhang Family, not giving the Blackhead Duck any time to react.
Thus, a furball and a duck arrived.
The Blackhead Duck was dumbfounded.
The Zhang Family was dumbfounded too.
It was that one! That damn duck!
In years past, it had dug up the Zhang Family's ancestral graves seven or eight times, stealing a load of treasures.
"Damn it! You duck, how dare you show your face at our Zhang Family's doorstep?" one member roared.
Another exclaimed, "Clan Leader, that's the one! It dug up the ancestral tombs of seven or eight of our forefathers! This duck is an outrage to gods and men alike; everyone wants it dead!"
"Kill it!" an Elder who had witnessed its past deeds burst out in fury. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
For a moment, the atmosphere within the Zhang Family was tense, ready for a fight.
The Blackhead Duck broke out in a cold sweat and awkwardly explained, "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."
The Earth Chicken hadn't anticipated this! The Blackhead Duck actually had such a notorious record—digging up ancestral graves! That was an act deserving of heavenly retribution! But for the sake of Tiger Land, she had to step forward. "Calm down," she said. "Didn't you just say that Ancient Families possess great magnanimity? If you really kill it, I'm afraid no one in the world will be able to suppress Tiger Land."
DAMN IT! It dug up the graves of seven or eight of our ancestors, and now we're being told to calm down? The most crucial part was that they had just promised not to hold a grudge...
Of course, the Zhang Family hadn't expected that the grave-robbing duck would dare to return. Although they desperately wanted to kill it, they had to hold back, forcefully suppressing their killing intention. However, when the high-ranking Zhang Family members occasionally glanced at the Blackhead Duck, their eyes still glinted with intense murderous intent.
Chen Pingping's face darkened. He had a growing feeling... that taking in this duck was destined to be a mistake.
"Duck, once I deduce the location of Tiger Land, you'll be responsible for suppressing it. Any problem with that?" the Earth Chicken asked, looking askance.
Looking at the Zhang Family's menacing posture and then at the Earth Chicken's expression and attitude... The Blackhead Duck felt like a mute who had eaten a bitter herb—suffering in silence. It could only nod repeatedly. "No problem."
