"Ha ha, kid, weren't you very impressive? Now you finally can't do anything?" Seeing that Ren Pingsheng had not reacted for a long time on the ground, the old man from the Evil Sect laughed with great satisfaction. He had just been embarrassed by Ren Pingsheng, and now he felt like he had finally regained his pride.
"Hmph, I will interrogate you properly next. Hand over your Spatial Bracelet to me." He flashed forward and reached for Ren Pingsheng, showing no mercy.
Just as his palm was about to strike Ren Pingsheng, suddenly a figure appeared next to him out of nowhere and knocked the excited old man from the Evil Sect away with a flick of his hand.
"This person is mine; you can't touch him." The newcomer chuckled and then turned to look at Ren Pingsheng on the ground, his expression full of enthusiasm. This person was none other than Great Chu Academy Outer Court Lord Li Yun, who had been following behind.
"Ah, a sect-level expert, how is that possible!" The old man from the Evil Sect, who had been knocked away, looked incredulous. After landing, he cautiously retreated to Tian Xie's side, not daring to act recklessly.
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
"Hmph, what else can we do? Let's see how things unfold. However, this person is definitely not here to save anyone; his purpose should be the same as ours. I just don't know what he's really after."
Tian Xie said with a grim expression. Everything he was about to obtain was unexpectedly snatched away by someone else, which he found hard to accept. However, he also knew his limits and understood that a sect-level expert was not someone he could deal with, so he could only swallow his anger. He hoped that this sect-level expert was only after the King's Artifact, which would still give him a chance to obtain the Heritage.
"I can't believe it's you; this is truly unexpected." Ren Pingsheng's mind was still quite clear. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to kill the Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master, but unfortunately, he had been too heavily injured earlier, preventing him from executing his plan. He never expected that he would attract the attention of that sect-level expert behind him.
What surprised him even more was that this sect-level expert who had been following him all along was actually Great Chu Academy Outer Court's Lord Li Li Yun, the man who had taken them to Demon Soul Valley for the Bronze Ranking mission.
"Hehe, Ren Pingsheng, I have put in quite a bit of effort to chase you down this whole way, but I finally caught up." The excitement in Li Yun's eyes was unmistakable as he spoke.
"Oh, is our Lord Li here for the King's Artifact as well? Then I am truly honored," Ren Pingsheng asked sarcastically.
“King's Artifact? It doesn't matter whether it exists or not. I have another purpose for coming here. When we sent you to Demon Soul Valley, it was for a reason. Now I ask you, did you take something you shouldn't have from Demon Soul Valley?”
“Demon Soul Valley? Something I shouldn't have taken?” All the doubts he had been harboring suddenly came together. He had wondered before why the rewards for the sect's missions were so abundant and why the locations were so distant and strange. Now it seemed everything was premeditated. Their goal was to obtain something from Demon Soul Valley. That something he immediately thought of was the Demon Emperor.
Only the Demon Emperor could make them so cautious, first sending disciples to investigate before taking action. But it was all disrupted by Ren Pingsheng.
“Something I shouldn't have taken? I really don't know what that is. According to what I know, Demon Soul Valley is where we carry out our missions, and if we obtained something, it would be due to luck. What do you mean by 'something I shouldn't have taken'?” Ren Pingsheng said, pretending to be clueless.
“Heh heh, don’t play dumb; you should know what it is.” Li Yun squinted his eyes and said with a smile. “Hmph, if it weren't for that esteemed person's assistance, would you have your current abilities? How could you obtain the Sword King Order with just your initial stage Martial Master cultivation? You even managed to defeat high-level Martial Master warriors? It must be due to that esteemed person's guidance or perhaps they gave you some powerful techniques.”
“Indeed!” Upon hearing this, he sighed inwardly.
“Haha, I know that esteemed person must be with you, so hand it over. Perhaps I can save your life; such things are not meant for a mere Martial Mastery warrior like you to possess.”
Ren Pingsheng remained silent but was conversing with the Demon Emperor in his mind. “How much longer can you hold on? I can't last much longer here; you heard him—he came for you. I'm completely caught in this disaster. If this continues, I'll have to hand you over.”
“Heh heh, we are in this together; if one suffers, we all suffer. No need to say such desperate things. Just hold on for two more minutes,” Demon Emperor said with a laugh.
“Alright, but you need to hurry; this old fellow might not wait much longer.”
“Ahem… Lord Li, were your words true? If I hand over the item, can you really save me?” Ren Pingsheng asked weakly, his face pale.
“Haha, of course! Regardless of what happens, you're a student of my Great Chu Academy, so naturally, I will save you.”
“Well… I have one condition: if Lord Li can agree to it, then I'll hand over the item.”
"Oh, what request do you have? Go ahead and tell me."
"It's like this, I was gravely injured because of these three people. So I hope Lord Li can kill them for me to relieve my hatred. Once that's done, whatever they have will belong to Lord Li." Ren Pingsheng said through gritted teeth, looking as if he hated these three to the core.
"Oh, I see. That's not too difficult, but these three have quite significant identities, so there might be some trouble." Li Yun glanced at the three members of the Evil Sect, his eyes shifting as he spoke with some hesitation.
"Lord Li, with such assistance, I believe it won't be difficult for you to become a King-Level Expert. What is there to fear? Besides, it's just us here; this place is rarely visited, so no one will know they died here, let alone that it was at your hands."
"Now that you mention it, it does seem reasonable." He appeared to be swayed and turned to walk towards the three.
"Young Master, hurry and leave. This person is not someone we can deal with." The two elder men with respect-level cultivation looked shocked and angry; they hadn't expected Ren Pingsheng to have such a trick up his sleeve.
"Damn it, this guy has such a vicious heart." Tian Xie's face also showed some fear. Even bringing up his identity wouldn't scare anyone here; they were far from the Evil Sect, over a hundred thousand miles away. If someone died here, it was uncertain if anyone would discover it.
Unfortunately, the gap in cultivation was too great. Even though the two elders tried their best to resist, the disparity between high-level respect and high-level Zong-Level Cultivation was an insurmountable chasm. In just four or five exchanges, they were all severely injured and lying on the ground. As for that Evil Sect's Young Master Tian Xie, although he had run a short distance, Li Yun caught up in just a few breaths and swiftly captured him.
"Here, I've captured him. Now they are all powerless to resist. Hand over what you have, and you can personally kill them. Isn't it satisfying to take revenge yourself?" Li Yun said with a beaming smile.
"What a cunning old fellow!" Ren Pingsheng cursed inwardly. It seemed he was also afraid of offending the Evil Sect, which was why he wanted him to kill these three. Such hypocrisy, all while speaking so grandly. Moreover, once he handed over what he had, whether he could survive was another matter. Ren Pingsheng believed he definitely wouldn't want this information to leak out.
Seeing that Ren Pingsheng had no way out, Li Yun's expression turned cold. "Hmph, kid, are you trying to play me? I'm only being lenient because you're a disciple of the Academy. If you're not honest, I won't hesitate to make you suffer. You'll know my methods then."
"Kid, it seems you're really not planning to speak up, are you? Very well, then I'll let you see some of my methods." He flashed forward and clawed towards Ren Pingsheng's throat.
"Bang..." To his surprise, he grasped at nothing; the severely injured Ren Pingsheng, who had just been unable to move moments ago, suddenly slipped away like a fish and was already ten zhang away in just a few swift movements.
Those who witnessed this scene were all dumbfounded; it looked incredibly bizarre. Could it be that the injuries sustained earlier were also fake? The elder from the Evil Sect appeared as if he had seen a ghost. No one understood better than him; he was completely certain that Ren Pingsheng had been severely injured at that time.
Li Yun's expression was somewhat grave. That last attack had at least taken away sixty percent of his strength; even a fully capable Supreme Expert would not have been able to withstand it. Yet now, a Martial Master Realm Martial Artist who was seriously injured had managed to evade it. This made him feel wary, while simultaneously igniting his ambition, as he thought of the Demon Emperor.
"Is it you who is looking for me?" Ren Pingsheng raised his head and spoke, his voice carrying an inexplicable charm that made those who heard it feel a strange sense of submission, as if they were unwilling to become enemies.
Li Yun looked into those cold, deep eyes and felt an inexplicable sense of trepidation. It was as if he were being seen through completely, and he lost the arrogance and excitement he had at the beginning.
"Senior, I came this time to ask you to stay by my side. A kid from Martial Mastery has no ability to protect you, and more importantly, his growth is far too slow; who knows when he will reach his potential? Why waste time on him?"
"Oh, his cultivation is indeed weak, but your cultivation is just average. Moreover, although your talent is decent, whether you can become a King-Level Expert is still in question. Even with my guidance, your chances of advancing to King-Level Expert are at most thirty percent. Besides, following someone is a matter of personal preference; who are you to dictate my choices?"
"Senior, I acknowledge your past strength. However, how much of that strength remains after all this time? Calling you 'Senior' is giving you face; don't force me to take action. I believe my future achievements will definitely not be lower than yours," Li Yun said with a somewhat natural expression.
"Is that so? Even if I am not as strong as I once was, what does it matter? Dealing with a mere sect-level powerhouse like you is more than enough," Ren Pingsheng said with a somewhat sinister smile, his aura surging like a tide.
The Demonic Energy from the Abyss of Demons seemed to be drawn in, rolling restlessly. Black dragons roared and danced around him, slowly gathering by Ren Pingsheng's side as if guarding their master.
At this moment, Li Yun's nerves tensed up; after all, the reputation of the Demon Emperor from years ago still loomed large. Even after so many years, he dared not underestimate it.
Furthermore, the aura that Ren Pingsheng was now unleashing gave him a very dangerous feeling; his strength was clearly not inferior to his own. Thus, Li Yun's aura also erupted completely without any hesitation.
