CHAPTER 449: CHAPTER 449 YOU’VE BEEN WRONGED

One aspect of the Reincarnation Mystery, ’Past,’ allowed him to see certain scenes from the past and even regain the strength he once had, somewhat akin to manipulating space and time.

Years ago, the system presented another reward, and he gained "Reincarnation Mystery - Present."

He had been researching it all these years, seldom using it. Yet despite that, he had repeatedly deduced its potential.

Reincarnation Mystery - Present, entirely different from ’Past,’ enabled him to temporarily obtain the power of others at this current moment in time, or even to replicate someone’s existence. It was similar to copying. This was what he had comprehended so far.

WHOOSH!

Chen Pingping opened his eyes and began to activate the Mystery.

Instantaneously, the sky above darkened, and high above in the sky, a tall silhouette suddenly appeared.

The silhouette was imposing and majestic, standing as grand as Mount Tai.

Then, that silhouette turned around...

To their horror, he stepped out from it.

People gaped in astonishment.

The figure was majestic, revealing not a shred of aura fluctuation, but the invisible pressure emanating from it suffocated everyone.

Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Good heavens!

The people of Fairy Valley were utterly stunned—no, they were suffocating, shocked, their hearts in turmoil.

Then thuds were heard as, one after another, disciples of Fairy Valley fell to their knees, their bodies trembling, their lips quivering, and they stammered out two words, "Ancestor."

Cultivators: "..."

Guang Xiaoyu: "..."

Liu Changqing, Alan: "..."

The thirteen Saint Realm experts: "..."

The first Ancestor of Fairy Valley, Yu Changfeng.

He just stood there, not saying a word, yet the invisible pressure he emitted crushed the hearts of all the Fairy Valley disciples. It also shattered the illusions harbored by the thirteen Saint Realm experts.

Chen Pingping called out to him, "Grandmaster."

"You’ve done well," Yu Changfeng said.

"Alas..." Chen Pingping sighed. "Grandmaster, you founded the Wuji Sect with ambitions reaching the Nine Heavens, a grand vision indeed. Unfortunately... some people just don’t seem to understand!"

The implication was clear.

The thirteen panicked.

It wasn’t that they lacked understanding, but this was just too absurd. A person who had been dead for tens of thousands of years suddenly coming back to life? Who would believe that? It was like a dream. Moreover, Fairy Valley was doing just fine, so why create the Wuji Sect? And why move to the Heaven Martial Continent?

Yu Changfeng’s expression turned cold as he scanned the thirteen. "I’ve heard that you’ve been obstructing Pingping in every way? Even attempting to kill him?"

"..."

"Is that true?"

They trembled, cold sweat pouring down their faces.

Yu Changfeng continued, "I instructed Pingping to retrieve some items from Fairy Valley for me. Is this how you treat my envoy?"

The thirteen were on the verge of tears. That wasn’t ’retrieving,’ that was stealing! And if you, Ancestor, had shown yourself, a single word would have sufficed. Who would have dared to object? But you didn’t appear! How were we to know if that scoundrel Chen Pingping was deceiving us?

"Pingping, you’ve been wronged," Yu Changfeng said.

"Not at all, not at all," Chen Pingping replied. "By the way, Ancestor, this fellow here also tried to kill me just now. I was terrified."

He pointed at Wang Xiaodao.

Wang Xiaodao, still in shock, was utterly aghast.

When did this happen? I mean... I didn’t do anything just now!

Wang Xiaodao exclaimed, "A grave injustice, Ancestor! I never intended to kill him."

"Then why did you come?" Yu Changfeng asked.

"..."

Indeed! Why had he come? He had just awakened and rushed over; wasn’t it to hold Chen Pingping accountable?

For a moment, Wang Xiaodao was at a loss for words.

Yu Changfeng looked at him. "You will join the Wuji Sect and guard its gates for a hundred years. Do you have any objections?"

Wang Xiaodao’s voice trembled. "No, no objections! I respectfully obey Ancestor’s command."

"Ah! Grandmaster, they also wanted to kill me," Chen Pingping said with an aggrieved expression, glancing at the thirteen Saint Realm experts. "Just moments ago, I was terrified! You must understand, they are all Saint Realm powerhouses; I’m no match for them at all!"

"You’re talking nonsense," one of the Saint Realm experts, coughing up blood, his eyes bulging. "That dog with you..." Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized something was amiss and quickly shut his mouth.

As expected...

Yu Changfeng’s expression darkened. "So, you really did take action?"

"Ancestor, spare us! We were wrong," they said, their voices trembling.

"You have all truly disappointed me!" Yu Changfeng shook his head. "However, seeing as you are all disciples of Fairy Valley, I can spare your lives. But... from now on, you will all join the Wuji Sect and be at Pingping’s disposal."

"..."

No way? Their hearts shattered once more. Obey Chen Pingping’s command? Remember, they were all Saint Realm experts!

Yu Changfeng frowned. "What? Unwilling?"

"No, no, no, we are very willing," they managed, their smiles more contorted than faces in tears.

"Fairy Valley shall disband! There’s no longer a need for its existence," he whispered. Then, gazing in the direction of Fairy Valley, his eyes held melancholy, sadness, and a profound sense of unwillingness and desolation.

Everyone was shocked to the core.

Although the current Fairy Valley was not as strong as it once was, it was still a great power, possessing some heritage and experts. To truly be annihilated wasn’t so simple. But Yu Changfeng’s single sentence carried more weight than any powerful enemy invading.

All the Fairy Valley disciples present felt suffocated.

"Tens of thousands of years have passed, and Fairy Valley has declined day by day. What use is there in it remaining?"

"In that case, merge with the Wuji Sect."

"You thirteen, make the arrangements immediately and await Pingping’s orders."

"If there is any defiance, kill without mercy." Yu Changfeng spoke coldly, his gaze sweeping over those below.

Everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to object, only able to nod.

The Ancestor’s words, like sharp needles, pierced their hearts, filling them with unbearable shame.

Declining day by day...

WHOOSH WHOOSH!

A gentle breeze swept through, and Yu Changfeng’s figure in the sky began to dissipate.

Very quickly, the dark sky cleared once more.

The killing had also ended, but the outcome left everyone deeply unsettled. No one had expected Yu Changfeng, the Ancestor of Fairy Valley, to appear and directly announce the dissolution of Fairy Valley and its merger with the Wuji Sect. This was undoubtedly shocking news.

The Sword Saint, Fairy Valley’s Great Elder, Liu Changqing, and Alan were all in a state of shock.

Only Guang Xiaoyu’s eyes darted about; she wanted to laugh but dared not. She knew her senior brother possessed a cultivation technique that could create doppelgangers, though she had no idea how he had managed to conjure up *this* Yu Changfeng, nor how he had mimicked that imposing pressure and powerful aura fluctuations. He’s truly worthy of being this Emperor’s senior brother! she thought, thoroughly impressed.

「In the depths of the City of Extinction.」

Yu Changfeng subconsciously looked up. Why do I have such an ominous premonition?

"An illusion," the Earth Chicken said.

He smiled, then continued, "Where were we?"

"You were founding Fairy Valley..."

"Right, right! When I founded Fairy Valley... actually, the Southern Diaspora was in turmoil. The Demon Race was rampant. If my Fairy Valley hadn’t emerged, and if I hadn’t led the charge to drive the Demon Race out of the Southern Diaspora, this land would probably still be suffering terribly."

The Earth Chicken flapped its wings. "Impressive!"

"Modesty, modesty..." Yu Changfeng said with a proud smile. "Let me tell you more about when I achieved Tao Verification."
