Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 711 - 710: We Have What We Need

The arrays of the Ancient Phoenix lineage, although not inherited from the Human Clan, had fundamental principles that were interconnected with other array formations.

Earth Chicken surveyed the area for a long time before reaching a conclusion: use Zhang Ziyu as bait to lure out the deified Tiger Land, then suppress it with the aid of the duck's power.

What surprised everyone in the Zhang Family was that the Blackhead Duck, typically an arrogant and overbearing egotist who only cared for itself, showed no panic when previously pursued by Emperor Realm experts, escaping with ease. Yet now, faced with a chicken, it didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

Not only that, but their Son of the Fate Energy also seemed overly enthusiastic.

"Sister, is this pose okay?"

"Sister... when can you teach me about arrays?"

"Sister, you are so amazing..." Zhang Ziyu beamed, showering her with flattery.

He had once visited the Wuji Sect and seen the powerful arrays set up around it, each more formidable than the last. He then learned that this very chicken had set up all those arrays. Even within the Wuji Sect, many disciples with a talent for array cultivation were studying under her. Truth be told, Zhang Ziyu was also very tempted.

"Kid, something's not right!" Eight Treasures Chicken strode over, eyes wary. "I warn you, don't try to get any ideas about my Big Bro through her."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! I just want to learn about arrays, that's all," Zhang Ziyu responded sheepishly. "Eight Brother, could you please put in a good word for me with 'Sister' later?"

"Hmm, your attitude is quite good," Eight Treasures Chicken nodded repeatedly.

"Bone, meridian, vein, flesh... right here." Not far away, Earth Chicken found a spot.

This was within a large mountain range in the Zhang Family's territory. The surrounding mountains rose and fell, their majestic peaks reaching into the clouds. Sturdy ancient trees stood tall among them, their dense branches and leaves vibrant with life. The mountains occasionally echoed with the cries of Demon Birds and the roars of wild beasts.

Few people ever ventured here, so at a glance, it resembled a primeval forest.

"Here?" an Elder asked, startled. "Isn't this the old site of our Zhang Family?"

"Exactly! How could Tiger Land be here?"

"Could there be a mistake?"

"Shut up!" Earth Chicken cast a disdainful glance. "I never said Tiger Land was right here. It needs to be lured out, and this place has the highest probability of its appearance. Look at this mountain range; it winds deep and resembles a dragon. It's almost certain that in about tens of thousands of years, this mountain will undergo Dragon Transformation. If I were Tiger Land, I would definitely choose this place."

At these words, everyone was astonished.

Earth Chicken continued, "To the left, there's another huge draconic form lurking among the mountains. However... that Dragon Vein has been severed, which might also be why your Zhang Family moved away. Alright, everyone stay quiet. Ziyu, go inside."

Zhang Ziyu didn't hesitate and strode forward.

He felt Earth Chicken was right because he had seen Tiger Land here before.

「On the other hand!」

Chen Pingping met Li Chaoge in a teahouse on a small path. They stood far apart, both with expressionless faces.

"You wanted to see me?" Chen Pingping narrowed his eyes.

"Yes!"

"Why?" Chen Pingping asked.

"I'm here to help you," Li Chaoge looked at him. "The Divine Clan's high echelon mentioned a variable, so they are now trying to eliminate it. This variable might be you, or it could be Zhang Ziyu of the Zhang Family."

???

"Of course, the high ranks of the Divine Clan won't act personally. This time, the Goddess and another young person are coming. I know that with your abilities, you probably don't need to be afraid, but the Goddess is no ordinary person. She has a remarkable background and hides many secrets. You need to be cautious."

"Among the powers guarding the Power of the Four Symbols—Nalan, Zhang Family, Zhu Family, Wu Family—one of them has already pledged allegiance to the Divine Clan," Li Chaoge stated slowly.

Chen Pingping was shocked. "Who?"

To think that someone from the Human Clan had actually pledged allegiance to the Divine Clan? Although Chen Pingping didn't possess such a strong sense of mission, he would never resort to aligning himself with the Divine Clan. He was even certain that ordinary people wouldn't stoop to such levels either. Betraying the Human Clan was a shameful act, provoking outrage from both humans and gods, and deserving heavenly retribution.

Li Chaoge shook his head. "It's still unclear at the moment." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"So?" Chen Pingping said with a smile. "How do you plan to help me? Do you know what I need? Also, as a young prodigy of the Divine Clan, do you think I can trust you?"

Li Chaoge fell silent. Although he had been expelled from the Divine Clan, he was, after all, still a member, with their blood flowing in his veins. Moreover, they had been fierce enemies before and had clashed. Gaining Chen Pingping's trust was quite difficult. As for what Chen Pingping needed...

After a few minutes...

Li Chaoge looked up. "You want to become the next Wenliang."

Chen Pingping's heart skipped a beat. He had hardly told anyone about using Fate Energy to manifest a God, yet this fellow before him had blurted it out.

However...

"You want to ignite your Emperor Weapon using the God Grid of a great god from the Divine Clan," Li Chaoge continued. "Therefore, you will not suppress Tiger Land; on the contrary, you want to open it and release the Divine Clan's God Grid. But with your current ability, you can hardly suppress it, while I can."

Ohhh? Hearing those answers, Chen Pingping breathed a slight sigh of relief, but the latter part of Li Chaoge's speech surprised him. Could someone at his Saint King level really suppress a God Grid? Bluffing, right?

Chen Pingping asked, "So? Are you planning to betray the Divine Clan?"

Li Chaoge shook his head. "No, I have already been driven out by the Divine Clan."

Chen Pingping: "..."

"The Divine Clan is just a general term, not a single race. Like your Human Clan, it has families, factions, different inheritances, and different cultivation practices. My own lineage has already perished," Li Chaoge said calmly.

He pointed to the large area belonging to the Zhang Family and said, "The great god of the Divine Clan slain by the Human Sword Immortal was an ancestor of my Li clan."

Chen Pingping was shocked again. "Your ancestor?" After a pause, he continued, "In that case, why would you want to help me? To suppress your ancestor? Then have me assimilate or even devour them?"

That was preposterous. He wouldn't believe such a turn of events, and Hei probably wouldn't either if he were here.

"My ancestor has already fallen, leaving only the suppressed God Grid here. The Divine Clan desires to open this grand tomb precisely because they covet my ancestor's God Grid," Li Chaoge spoke earnestly. "I am helping you not to betray my ancestor; rather, we both have our needs."

He was very clear about one thing. The Divine Clan would not give him any more chances. Even if it were his own ancestor suppressed here, they would not allow him to get close. Therefore, the issue of his ancestor's God Grid was hardly worth fretting over. However, with his power alone, he could not accomplish these tasks.

"This explanation is reasonable. You are not betraying your ancestor; you simply have no other choice," Chen Pingping said with a smile. "I am very curious, what is it that you want?"

"The body of my ancestor," Li Chaoge replied, not concealing his intent.

It was the body of a great god. Even after eons since its fall, the physique of such an existence remained immortal and indestructible, with astonishing blood flowing within. This was what Li Chaoge needed.

Chen Pingping was taken aback for a moment, about to say something, when suddenly... a powerful fluctuation of energy came from behind, followed by a roaring sound.

He swiftly turned around.
