CHAPTER 452: CHAPTER 452: YOU DON’T DARE TO COME IN

Chen Pingping had just taken over Fairy Valley, and he still had many issues to handle, such as how to deal with Yu Changfeng. If Yu Changfeng discovered he had annihilated Fairy Valley, would Yu Changfeng kill him with a single slap?

There were also the arrangements for Bai Yisheng, Scholar, Liu Kuangyi, and the Fairy. After all, they had come following Yu Changfeng and were the prodigies of Fairy Valley.

The people were there. What was missing was a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon. This was the foundation of becoming a superpower, a profound heritage. He thought of He Yitian and remembered the agreement with the Fairy... Yes. If everything went as expected, he would take He Yitian and the Fairy to visit that so-called secret realm. A few minutes ago, those were his thoughts. But now, all he wanted to do was to kill that old bastard, the Elder. With Star Sea attacking, and as a powerful Saint Realm expert, the Elder hadn’t stepped forward to take responsibility. Instead, he’d pushed him, a junior cultivator, to the front. This old man was a fox!

The corner of Chen Pingping’s mouth twitched.

But after thinking it through, what the Elder said was not wrong.

After Fairy Valley merged with the Wuji Sect, Yu Changfeng had ordered everyone to obey Chen Pingping’s commands. Therefore, Chen Pingping was now in charge, effectively the master of Fairy Valley.

With Star Sea attacking, it was indeed his responsibility to step up and handle the situation.

"This is our Sect Master," the Elder said, walking over, as if fearing the people from Star Sea didn’t know, so he introduced him once again.

The group from Star Sea was stunned.

A new Sect Master? Not the Sword Saint? And so young...

Yang Wuzong narrowed his eyes. "Interesting."

"Sect Master, these people from Star Sea have come with ill intentions. I ask the Sect Master to take action and drive them away," the Elder said.

The few Saint Realm experts nearby instinctively curled their lips, clearly sensing a scheme afoot.

Among Fairy Valley’s leadership, many were influenced by external powers, and this Elder was no exception.

Years ago, when the Sword Saint began Cultivating Demon, the Elder had secretly schemed, colluding with external enemies to assassinate the Sword Saint and seize control of Fairy Valley.

If nothing went awry, the day of the Newcomers’ Competition was supposed to be when his plan fully unfolded.

But no one had anticipated the unforeseen variables of the Wuji Sect and Chen Pingping, which led to Fairy Valley’s utter defeat and its subsequent absorption into the Wuji Sect.

Although he was reluctant, he dared not refute because the one who issued that order was Yu Changfeng.

However, with the arrival of the experts from Star Sea, the Elder, like a drowning man, felt he had grasped a lifeline.

Killing the Sword Saint or killing Chen Pingping—it was the same principle to him.

Both were obstacles in his path. If they died, he could truly take control of Fairy Valley—oh, no, it was the Wuji Sect now.

The nearby Saint Realm experts sensed the conspiracy, but none spoke out.

They, much like the Elder, hoped for Chen Pingping’s downfall. After all, they were Saint Realm experts, Big Shots; how could they submit to a mere junior cultivator?

"Very well, Fairy Valley Sect Master," Yang Wuzong said with a light laugh, "then, come out and fight." He stared at Chen Pingping.

"You come down..." Chen Pingping also smiled, turning a deaf ear to the Elder’s "conspiracy."

The group from Star Sea narrowed their eyes, appearing to relish the upcoming drama.

Yang Wuzong said no more and descended a few steps.

He was about to step into the City of Extinction to kill Chen Pingping, but... those three powers still lingered. The moment his foot stepped in, the bizarre, the destructive, and the Power of Curse erupted simultaneously.

His heart lurched in alarm, and he instantly recoiled.

This was the City of Extinction, not an ordinary place; the three powers were still present.

What shocked him was why the Fairy Valley group was unharmed in the midst of the City of Extinction.

Yang Wuzong’s face stiffened as he halted at the outskirts of the City of Extinction.

The people of Fairy Valley also snapped to attention. They remembered this was the City of Extinction, yet they were unharmed. This realization sent a tremor through each of them.

Upon closer perception, they discovered that the three powers in their vicinity had vanished without a trace.

What happened? Why was it like this? When they had relocated here, they hadn’t seen their ancestor Yu Changfeng make any move to dispel these powers! No, that wasn’t right! If their ancestor, Yu Changfeng, could have driven away these three terrifying powers, he wouldn’t have remained in slumber to this day. That wasn’t right either. Perhaps their ancestor Yu Changfeng’s slumber wasn’t due to these three powers. Was it because he was injured?

After a moment’s thought, they all shook their heads. Setting aside the matter of their ancestor Yu Changfeng’s prolonged slumber, the very region they now inhabited was part of the City of Extinction.

Yet, the bizarre, destructive, and cursed powers—all three—seemed to deliberately avoid this area.

It was truly inconceivable.

The Star Sea experts aboard the flying ship also noticed something was amiss, their expressions turning to shock.

Chen Pingping chuckled lightly, "Come on in, let’s have a fight, you and me."

Yang Wuzong was speechless.

He did want to go in, but he couldn’t.

This time, they had brought along more than twenty Saint Realm powerhouses, along with many powerful Divine Weapons, even including one damaged Quasi-Emperor Weapon.

It was meant to fulfill the agreement with the Elder: to help him assassinate the Sword Saint.

It could only be used once.

If it were used now just to breach the City of Extinction, wouldn’t that be too wasteful?

For a moment, he was caught in a dilemma.

The infuriating part was Chen Pingping was still there provoking, "Come on in! Let’s have some fun. As the saying goes, ’Isn’t it a joy to have friends come from afar?’ We, the Wuji Sect, are very hospitable."

His smile was radiant, revealing rows of pearly white teeth, and his clear eyes showed he was genuinely inviting his "friends" from Star Sea.

The Elder spat blood in fury. He had only considered the opportunity to kill Chen Pingping, completely overlooking this aspect of the City of Extinction.

Not far away, Wang Xiaodao, standing beneath the gateway, subconsciously glanced over, his gaze settling on Chen Pingping.

This young man was no simple character.

"If you dare, come out," Yang Wuzong gritted his teeth.

Tch!

Chen Pingping rolled his eyes. "I can go out, but can you come in?"

Yang Wuzong’s face stiffened.

The meaning was clear: Chen Pingping could freely enter and exit the City of Extinction, but could Yang Wuzong? Probably not, right?

"Are you forcing me to make a move?" he glared at Chen Pingping intensely.

"Why don’t you make a move then?" Chen Pingping retorted.

Fuck! He couldn’t take it any longer.

Yang Wuzong resolved to use the Quasi-Emperor Weapon to breach the City of Extinction, kill Chen Pingping, and while he was at it, annihilate Fairy Valley.

His expression grim, he turned and returned to the flying ship. Moments later, he descended, holding a damaged bronze bell.

Seeing this, the people of Fairy Valley were shocked. "It’s a Quasi-Emperor Weapon! Damn it... he even brought a Quasi-Emperor Weapon!"

Most of Fairy Valley’s people were unaware that this was an arrangement between Star Sea and the Elder. They simply assumed Star Sea had chanced upon this place, or perhaps they were drawn by the major events unfolding at the Wuji Sect.

Like mere passersby.

Would you carry a Quasi-Emperor Weapon with you just to take a walk?

Who the hell goes out to buy vegetables while carrying a Quasi-Emperor Weapon?

This Quasi-Emperor Weapon didn’t belong to a single individual; it belonged to the entire Star Sea.

This was utterly preposterous.

"He’s as good as dead," Luo Yu sneered. "A trash cultivator daring to provoke an eighth-stage Saint Realm expert."

"Indeed!"

"But... with Fairy Valley’s experts also present, something unexpected might still happen."

"Fairy Valley’s higher-ups won’t intervene. There’s killing intention in their eyes too."

"Is this guy’s character really that bad?"

"Who knows?"
