Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 724 - 723 She Cultivates a Secret Technique

Zhu Zibai was expressionless. But inside, he really wanted to curse. What was wrong with his looks? What did his looks have to do with you? You were here to ask for their help, not to divide the Great Opportunity with them.

"What are you looking at? Not convinced?" Zhang Ziyu glared at him. "Draw your sword! My Opening Heaven Swordsmanship is already itching to move."

Zhu Zibai was speechless. "..."

"Calm down, Young Master!" Nalan Hongying said helplessly, whispering, "The Nalan family and the Zhu family have decided to take action, joining hands with the Zhang family to suppress Tiger Land."

"Don't speak just yet." Zhang Ziyu looked at Zhu Zibai. "His eyes tell me he wants to challenge me. Good, I will grant you the opportunity."

Zhu Zibai's face stiffened. "No, I don't!"

"Be bolder. Defeating the Sword Immortal's Successor is a matter that will shake Huangzhou," Zhang Ziyu raised an eyebrow.

"My strength isn't up to par, and I have internal injuries. There's no way I can beat Mr. Zhang," Zhu Zibai silently gritted his teeth, cursing in his heart. Damn it... If it weren't for that sword strike just now, and if Chen Pingping weren't here, I would have already made my move and unleashed a Great Divine Power on him. And now, I don't dare do anything but act submissive. I fear that the Son of the Fate Energy will pin a crime on me, and then Chen Pingping will take the opportunity to strike... Coward!

Zhang Ziyu, smirking, saw that neither had any intention to fight and had actually agreed to an alliance, so he said, "Alright, I understand. You can go back and wait for the notice."

The two were speechless. "..."

After that, Zhang Ziyu couldn't be bothered to stay any longer. His goal had been achieved anyway. The four major forces were unlikely to form an alliance now, and as for the so-called notice, it was nothing but a polite brush-off. As for the Wu Family, heh! They really did betray the Human Clan. Quite bold of them.

For a moment, his mood greatly improved.

"Ping, do you think I have the strength right now to take down the Goddess?"

"No!"

"Is there a chance?"

"No."

"Not even a slight chance?" Zhang Ziyu's eyes widened.

"She's different from others," Chen Pingping pondered for a moment before giving such an answer. As for how she was different, he thought for a long time but couldn't find the right adjective. The impression Wang Lin'er gave him was like an enigma, shrouded in mist... Now that she had appeared here, her purpose was very clear: the Divine Clan didn't want the four major forces to form an alliance. Fortunately, he didn't want that either. That was also why he hadn't made a move. Secondly, he didn't want to expose too much of himself.

The two steadily walked farther away.

Behind them, Zhu Zibai's face was sullen, his killing intent soaring, his hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched tightly.

At this moment, Nalan Hongying spoke, "The person accompanying him is not simple."

She had a feeling. The meeting of the four major forces had come about because of Chen Pingping.

"Zhang Ziyu is so arrogant. Does he really not fear that our families won't take action?" Zhu Zibai said coldly.

"What do you think? Does he need us to?" Nalan Hongying glanced sideways. Indeed, he didn't. Perhaps the Zhang Family already had a countermeasure, or perhaps... there was some unknown conspiracy at play here. She thought of someone: Divine Princess Wang Lin.

「...」

Wang Lin'er, who had walked away, had already stopped. She also thought of someone: Li Chaoge... The innate talent of this lineage was terrifying. If he were here, the upcoming situation would be much easier. But now, this guy named Chen Pingping seemed quite extraordinary too! How to kill him?

「...」

"I have a bad feeling," Chen Pingping suddenly spoke. "You must return to the Zhang Family immediately."

Zhang Ziyu was stunned. "Ah? What feeling?"

Chen Pingping shook his head. Obviously, he didn't know what would happen, but the unease in his heart was very strong. That direction...

He suddenly halted, gazing to his left.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Ziyu also put away his playful demeanor, his expression turning grave. "Ping, I understand. I'll go back right now to alert the family and prepare for war."

After these words, he raced off without looking back.

Behind him, Chen Pingping slightly furrowed his brow. He was pondering a problem. The gathering of young talents from the four major forces had occurred, but not many powerful beings had shown up. And... Divine Princess Wang Lin had also come, yet no one had made a move against her. There was something fishy. The Wu Family's betrayal of the Human Clan was a major event. They weren't an ordinary cultivating family but an Ancient Family. Could it be?

Chen Pingping's pupils constricted as if he recalled something, and then he left the area.

He returned to that mountain spot with the fastest speed possible.

All around was quiet, with only the wind whistling. A figure sat cross-legged there—it was Li Chaoge.

Sensing someone approaching, Li Chaoge slowly opened his eyes.

"The Ancient Family, the Wu Family, responsible for guarding one of the Four Symbols, the Xuanwu Area, has betrayed the Human Clan," Chen Pingping began.

"I see..." Li Chaoge came to a realization.

"Is there anything special about that?"

"The Four Symbols are Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu... presiding over law, strength, spirit, and martial might. Among them, the force of Xuanwu, focusing on defense, is the most fortified position among the Four Symbols. Now that the Wu Family has betrayed the Human Clan, it's very likely that Divine Clan powerhouses might enter the depths through this area," Li Chaoge said, his gaze intense, "and lift a corner."

"They can't do that, can they?" Chen Pingping frowned.

"Indeed, the Four Symbols Array, set up by the Human Sword Immortal himself, is the first Array of your clan. Its mysteries are profound and inscrutable. Even a legendary Emperor Realm master who has achieved Tao Verification through 'arrays' might not be able to open even a corner. However..." Li Chaoge said, "the Divine Princess is here. She cultivates the Ancient Skill, the profound mysteries of Xing..."

The ancient secret technique, Xing. It contains the Supreme Path, Supreme Power, and if cultivated to the extreme, can even evolve Mighty Power.

"If the Wu Family provides her with certain conditions, then the Divine Princess can use the power of her Xing profound mysteries. Theoretically, it is possible to lift a corner of the Four Symbols Array. In that case, there'd be no need to wait for the Four Symbols Array to collapse on its own. The Divine Clan would enter the Four Symbols Array ahead of time..."

Hearing this, Chen Pingping's face froze. "Damn! If I had known, I would have slain her just now."

Li Chaoge shook his head. "The Divine Princess bears the Reincarnation Brand, cultivates an ancient secret technique, has condensed a Dharma of heaven and earth, and resonates with the Great Tao. Truly killing her might be even more troublesome than slaying the Demon Emperor."

Chen Pingping was speechless. "..."

"She previously sought me out. I should have guessed earlier!" Li Chaoge lamented.

"Sought you out for what?"

"I also cultivate a secret technique."

Chen Pingping was confused. "???"

"Dou!" Li Chaoge uttered a single word.

"Is there anything special about that?" Chen Pingping was taken aback.

"It embraces Ten Thousand Forms and possesses infinite strength..." Li Chaoge looked at him. "But the 'Dou' I cultivate is not complete; it's severely lacking, and the Divine Princess is unaware of this. Hence, she probably sought an alliance with me."

Chen Pingping wiped away cold sweat. This stuff sounded incredibly powerful. It was fortunate that Li Chaoge hadn't formed an alliance with her, and that he himself hadn't driven Li Chaoge away. Otherwise, if he had pushed him to the Divine Princess's side, wouldn't that have been even more troublesome?

Li Chaoge continued, "Now, you need to act quickly. The Wu Family, one of the families guarding the Four Symbols Array, has betrayed the Human Clan and colluded with the Divine Clan in secret. They must have been conspiring for a long time, and perhaps they've already begun to open the Four Symbols Array. If the Divine Clan enters the Four Symbols Array ahead of time and makes their arrangements, it will be fatal for your Human Clan, and even for me personally."

"Damn it!" Chen Pingping cursed out loud. "I don't have a single clue right now."

Li Chaoge said, "You must find one."

"Hold on, don't talk for a moment. Let me calm down..." Chen Pingping exhaled and began to ponder.
