"What is it? Do you have a woman outside that we all should be unaware of? I have never cared about such things; the only explanation you owe me is about Weirou." Ni Junlin pouted, her eyes filled with warmth.
She didn't care at all about how many women Wei Chen had or would have in the future.
All she wanted was to marry Wei Chen.
She didn't even know why she wanted to marry him.
In her previous life, she had followed the Demon Lotus Emperor, deeply in love with him, and had almost become his woman.
That memory was "etched in her heart."
Never did she think that it was the despicable and shameful Demon Lotus Emperor who had deliberately created that memory to help Wei Chen.
The Demon Lotus Emperor's abilities were astonishing. To implant memories into someone's mind was an extraordinary skill.
Wei Chen shook his head with a bitter smile, looking at Ni Junlin as he gently explained to her about the Demon Lotus Emperor's manipulation of memories.
He told her everything, without any embellishments or falsehoods.
Ni Junlin was left stunned.
"Ni Junlin, we've been together for so long. Among all the women, our experiences together are the most. But I have always wondered whether you like me or that fabricated memory, or perhaps your admiration for the Demon Lotus Emperor. In your past life, your relationship with him was merely one of following; you never even spoke to him face to face. In this life, you have protected and helped me, and I cherish that. I want to marry you, but more than that, I want to know if you are willing to marry me?"
Wei Chen's face was full of bitterness. When he was honest with Yan Qiqi, he hadn't felt this tense. With Yan Qiqi, he naturally believed that the Golden Dragon Maiden would accept him and wouldn't care about that memory.
But when it came to Ni Junlin, who had spent more time with him, Wei Chen found himself lacking in confidence.
All along, Ni Junlin had regarded him as the Demon Lotus Emperor, rather than the true Wei Chen.
This distinction was significant for Ni Junlin.
She fell into a state of absolute stupor.
Her body remained motionless, her gaze fixed and unblinking as she stared at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen stepped aside, observing that Ni Junlin's eyes were still vacant and dazed, looking into the distance.
In Ni Junlin's line of sight, there was nothing.
What she saw was confusion, the collapse of her beliefs.
How could this be?
The most fervent admirer of the Demon Lotus Emperor stood lost and desolate.
Wei Chen moved to the side, quietly waiting for Ni Junlin's response.
Time passed slowly. Down the mountain, Musa, along with Han Mang, Han Che, and others, followed Wei Chen's instructions to repair the Teleportation Array. Those who dared to interrupt or insult them were swiftly dealt with by Han Che.
After they left, the crowd surged forward and destroyed the formation once again.
They disregarded everything and moved on to the next location.
“Musa, have you asked Wei Chen what the significance of this is?” Han Che said, his hands weary from killing, growing somewhat impatient.
Musa explained, “Wei Chen hasn’t said anything, but his words must have some reasoning behind them. We just need to follow his orders. If we mess up, I can’t bear the responsibility if Wei Chen blames us.”
“Ugh, we’re just laborers here. That guy has plans but doesn’t inform us in advance, leaving us to toil away at meaningless tasks. It’s really frustrating,” Han Che complained.
Musa chuckled casually. The old fellows were all grumbling, but complaints aside, they still had work to do.
Han Mang laughed and said, “Han Che, stop your pointless complaints. Wei Chen’s strategies are beyond our understanding as mere old fellows. Even if we knew his plans beforehand, what difference would it make? We’d still end up doing the hard work anyway. Do you think that guy can afford to take a break? I guarantee something big is happening at the top of Cang Mountain right now.”
“What kind of big thing?”
“Wei Chen wouldn’t inexplicably send us here without reason. He assured us that there would only be one chance to break the siege. Those behind the scenes must be starting to falter, right? After knowing that guy for so long, don’t you understand his temperament?”
“That’s true…”
Just as several fellows were conversing, Mu Yang rushed over to them in a panic.
“Something big has happened! Wei Chen sent Gu Yuehong to bring Jiang Zhuzhou from Dongxing Trading Company to search for people. They found several hiding at the mountain top. That Ni Junlin has crippled President Liu Mingcheng and Vice President Zuo Lengqiu of Dongxing Trading Company; it’s a horrific sight, with only a breath left in them. What’s strange is that another Vice President from Dongxing Trading Company, Jiang Zhuzhou, has actually become Gu Yuehong’s subordinate…”
"There's another piece of news released by Thunderstorm: the Fire Sect and the Peach Blossom Sect have formed an alliance, sharing both fortune and misfortune together!"
"Also, an elder from the Yuelu Sect was captured by Ni Junlin and left crippled."
"The most peculiar thing is that Wei Chen is sitting in his room, drinking alone, completely indifferent to all of this. When I went to ask him what was going on, he seemed to be in shock, not saying a word and even kicked me out."
These were explosive pieces of news. Musa, Han Mang, Han Che, and others were baffled by what had happened. With such chaos on the mountaintop, should they go back and take a look?
They exchanged glances but decided to continue carrying out Wei Chen's orders. Otherwise, when Wei Chen finished his drinking and realized they were slacking off, it wouldn't be a joke when he scolded them.
Wei Chen's authority was growing stronger by the day; everyone regarded him with both respect and fear.
What had happened?
Time rewound to that remote place where Wei Chen was waiting for Ni Junlin's response.
Ni Junlin remained dazed for a long time before turning to give Wei Chen a deep look. He said lightly, "I can't give you an answer right now. Once I've figured things out, I'll let you know."
Wei Chen felt extremely disheartened but could only nod in agreement.
With a bitter sense of frustration, Wei Chen sought out Thunderstorm to finalize the alliance. Thunderstorm didn't care much about the alliance; within the Peach Blossom Sect were two powerful figures at or beyond the Soul Realm Peak. With someone like Wei Chen around, along with a formidable Formation System and the unwavering Sea Princess, plus a Supreme Being comparable to the Thunder God of the Upper Realm—what was there to lose in forming an alliance?
However, since it was proposed by Wei Chen, Thunderstorm seized the opportunity to extort three bottles of Dragon Blood. Wei Chen was too preoccupied to argue about it and handed over the Dragon Blood before retreating to drink alone again.
Ni Junlin arrived at the residence of Liu Mingcheng and Zuo Lengqiu. Others were unaware of what had transpired; they only saw Ni Junlin, like a celestial being descending from the heavens, shatter the room with a single strike. Liu Mingcheng and Zuo Lengqiu were immediately gravely injured and dragged out by Ni Junlin, who began to subject them to inhumane torture. The figures from the Major Forces on Cang Mountain, witnessing Ni Junlin's brutality, questioned whether they could withstand even a single blow from her.
It had long been rumored that the Peach Blossom Sect was filled with formidable individuals. With Ni Junlin's display of power, they caught a glimpse of her true strength, deepening their awe for the sect.
Soon after, Thunderstorm's alliance with the Peach Blossom Sect caused a stir. Everyone pondered what this truly represented. Were the Fire Sect and Peach Blossom Sect uniting to dominate the realm?
Later, Gu Yuehong, accompanied by the submissive Jiang Zhuzhou, uncovered members of the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization. Under Gu Yuehong's ruthless interrogation, these individuals revealed another faction: Yuelu Sect. The Grand Elder of Yuelu Sect became a punching bag for Ni Junlin; with just a flick of her finger, she injured the Grand Elder, who was at the first level of Soul Realm, before subjecting him to further torment.
Ni Junlin had seemingly become synonymous with evil.
Many believed that Ni Junlin's strength surpassed even that of Thunderstorm.
Who exactly was relying on whom in this alliance between the Fire Sect and Peach Blossom Sect?
The powerful figure who could slice mountains in half from dozens of miles away had yet to truly reveal their hand.
The series of significant actions taken by the Peach Blossom Sect occurred atop the mountain, without any information leaking out.
Those below remained oblivious as members of the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization mingled among the crowd, tirelessly inciting people to besiege Cang Mountain.
Musa and Han Mang continuously shifted locations, killing relentlessly and repairing formations that had been disrupted, only to kill again—a cycle repeating endlessly.
The leaders of the Major Forces on Cang Mountain were filled with unease. They were unaware of what was happening; only Thunderstorm knew about the dealings involving Dongxing Trading Company and Yuelu Sect, while everyone else could only speculate.
The more urgent the need for Wei Chen to come out and explain, the more he chose to hide away, drinking alone in his room.
In his courtyard, more and more people gathered. Eventually, all the high-ranking members of the Major Forces congregated around his residence, engaged in heated discussions.
"The Peach Blossom Sect has really made a bold move this time, taking out the upper echelons of both the Dongxing Trading Company and the Yuelu Sect in one fell swoop. It seems that both Dongxing Trading Company and Yuelu Sect are about to vanish from the Central Domain."
"That's for sure. Didn't you hear? The Thunder Sovereign has allied with the Fire Sect and the Peach Blossom Sect! With these two giants joining forces, do we even have a way out?"
"I don't know what their intentions are, but from what I know about the Thunder Sovereign, he has no interest in unifying the martial world. This alliance is likely aimed at dealing with the Soul Palace."
"Exactly. The Soul Palace is truly the Thunder Sovereign's real enemy; he doesn't regard anyone else as a threat."
"But what did Dongxing Trading Company and Yuelu Sect do to deserve this?"
"It must be related to the siege down the mountain, right? Young Master Wei is indeed swift and decisive; he uncovered the source so quickly."
"What does it mean that he's hiding away and not coming out to see us?"
"Who knows? Let's wait a bit."
The high-ranking members debated among themselves. The least among them were at least Earth Soul Realm experts, with half being first-level Soul Realm practitioners, along with some formidable second- and third-level Soul Realm fighters, all gathered at Wei Chen's door.
What does it mean to be a big shot?
This is the master!
Knowing that so many people were waiting outside, the master was in a bad mood and simply refused to come out. What could they do about it?
The crowd waited for a full four hours. If it had been an ordinary person, they would have long since lost their patience and left. But these individuals were all prominent figures who had weathered many storms; their patience was considerable. They only found it strange—what was Wei Chen doing inside? Was he plotting to eliminate another Ninth-Rank Power?
Finally, the door creaked open, and Wei Chen stepped out, the scent of alcohol lingering around him, looking spirited.
"Everyone, sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s head down the mountain; the truth will soon be revealed."
Wei Chen glanced over at Gu Yuehong, who stood next to Jiang Zhuzhou and four disabled members of the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization. On the other side, Ni Junlin quietly watched Wei Chen while tying Liu Mingcheng and Zuo Lengqiu together with a rope.
Wei Chen nodded at them, soared into the air, and opened a gap in the Formation System. The group followed him as they flew out of Cang Mountain.
There was no need to worry about anyone causing trouble; a brief opening of the gap posed no issues.
As they flew above the crowd, Wei Chen gathered his strength and shouted, "Members of the Evil Dragon Path Assassin Organization hiding at the mountaintop, I see you here! People from Dongxing Trading Company and Yuelu Sect are also present—open your eyes wide and take a good look!"
With a wave of his hand, a surge of Soul Power shot forth, enveloping those disabled individuals before him!
Upon hearing his words and seeing those disabled figures, the tens of thousands of frenzied people fell into an instant silence.
