CHAPTER 503: CHAPTER 503: THE SKILL OF BOASTING

Chen Pingping still had a doubt in his heart. It concerned the secrets of his master’s journey into the Star Sea and the identity of the powerful being deep within the ancestral lands.

However, the emergence of a calamity made him realize that Jiang Ni’er might already be in danger, and he had to rush there as soon as possible.

"AH! FUCK, LET GO OF ME, I CAN WALK..." Wen Qingshan cried out as Chen Pingping picked him up with one hand.

How humiliating! After all, he was a Divine Body.

Chen Pingping did not speak and disappeared from the spot like a long rainbow.

「In the old town.」

Jiang Ni’er finished her divination but saw no calamity appear.

The young man not far away was surprised. "You have calculated the cause, but the effect did not manifest. Why is that?"

To divine the Heavenly Fortune Tao is to bear the burden of cause and effect.

The cause is the divination: the unfolding of Heavenly Fortune, the moment when the truth emerges. The effect, on the other hand, is the heavenly calamity—a terrifying force meant to prevent the leakage of Heavenly Fortune.

Anyone who divines Heavenly Fortune must bear the consequences.

Jiang Ni’er curled her lips, revealing a faint smile. "Do you also cultivate the Heavenly Fortune Tao?"

"Yes," Li Chaoge answered.

"Then can you let us go?" Jiang Ni’er asked.

"I cannot," Li Chaoge said, looking at her. Immediately after, he pointed to the Earth Chicken. "I need to take this chicken back with me. It’s my mission."

The Earth Chicken was furious. "I’m no chicken!"

Li Chaoge remained indifferent. "It doesn’t matter. You will come with me, or I will take you by force." He paused before adding, "There are thirty of our clan’s powerful experts here, all with high realms and strong combat power. Whether you resist or not does not matter."

He was very assertive. His calm words carried great confidence, as if he were a high-ranking decision-maker. And indeed, he was the leader of this group.

"Well now, more than thirty powerful experts, that sounds so impressive..." The Earth Chicken sneered. "Do you really think the Wuji Sect has no one?"

SWOOSH, SWOOSH, SWOOSH!

Several people looked at her.

The Earth Chicken continued, "As the ruler of the Southern Diaspora, standing above the three superpowers, if you dare to touch me, my Sect Master will come and exact a bloodbath one day."

Jiang Ni’er fluttered her eyelashes. "..."

Who did she learn that tone from? Chen Pingping or Guang Xiaoyu?

SQUEAK!

Mao Qiu scurried out, waving its tender little paws in a threatening manner.

But just after a few swipes, it lost its balance and its body toppled backward.

The faces of the onlookers were lined with exasperation.

"What is this thing?" The little monkey could not help but grumble. It seems Chen Pingping is nothing special, keeping a bunch of useless pets. He’s much worse than yours truly.

He thought of himself as a high and mighty Three-eyed God Monkey, a powerful Ancient Ferocious Beast.

But he had not noticed that every time he saw Chen Pingping’s pets, he couldn’t help but compare himself to them.

"It seems you’re not prepared to compromise," Li Chaoge murmured.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a powerful expert charged in, slashing out a thick sword beam. It was wrapped in Tao and the Power of Heaven and Earth. A horrifying killing intention suddenly boiled over, filling every inch of space.

He was very powerful—an expert from the fifth-heaven of the Saint Realm.

The little monkey swore softly and scanned the surroundings, preparing to flee.

The Eight Treasures Chicken was also cursing under its breath, calling it bad luck, but since the Earth Chicken stood steadfast in front, it couldn’t just run away alone. It had to steel itself and step forward. "Boss, I’ll protect you."

"Idiot, what are you doing here?" the Earth Chicken scolded angrily.

"Boss, you go! I’ll hold them off," the Eight Treasures Chicken gritted its teeth.

"..."

In the chaotic scene, only Jiang Ni’er and Mao Qiu were calm.

She walked up to Mao Qiu and then picked it up.

SQUEAK!

Mao Qiu opened its bean-sized eyes, looking at her.

Jiang Ni’er spoke, "Senior Brother hasn’t arrived yet. It’s over to you."

Hmm?

The little monkey, standing by, overheard her words. He shook his body, and suddenly the fear from before vanished. His eyes blazed as he stared ahead. "You? You actually discovered my true identity?"

"Yes, I am indeed the legendary Ancient Ferocious Beast, the Three-eyed God Monkey, with mighty blood flowing in my veins..."

"Alright! Alright! Since you’re relying on me so much, this great one will stop hiding!" The little monkey took a deep breath, deciding to fight.

There was no other reason; he simply couldn’t run away anymore.

His keen Divine Sense had detected powerful experts in all directions around the old town; they were all very strong.

Gritting his teeth, he took a few steps forward.

But at that moment, Jiang Ni’er casually threw Mao Qiu out.

SQUEAK!

Mao Qiu let out a cry, a simple smile on its face, its tiny paws still flailing. It looked quite adorable.

When that terrifying sword beam came slashing down and touched Mao Qiu, it disappeared in an instant.

That’s right! Mao Qiu was a Devouring Sky Beast. Although it had no combat strength, it could devour an opponent’s attacks.

The Earth Chicken remembered this, and her anxious heart gradually calmed.

Li Chaoge was stunned.

The expert who had attacked was also taken aback for a moment.

The little monkey stared at Mao Qiu with wide eyes.

SQUEAK, SQUEAK!

After landing and tumbling a few times, Mao Qiu scurried back.

"Demon Race?" Li Chaoge squinted.

"You could understand it that way," Jiang Ni’er said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Chaoge also smiled. "A bunch of Demon Race mixed into the Human Clan’s area."

After laughing for a while, Li Chaoge’s smile vanished. His face turned cold, and he immediately spat out two words: "Move out!"

His heart grew more uneasy; he felt that something was about to happen.

HUM!

Not far away on the ground, a wave of Sword Intent suddenly sliced through.

It was Hei who had attacked.

He stood in a human-like form, quickly charging towards this place. In that moment, his small body enlarged, casting a shadow like a mountain. His usually honest face was now filled with coldness, his eyes bright and sharp, with occasional flashes of sword beams.

A Sword Slash fell.

Tao and the Power of Heaven and Earth soared together, Sword Intent and killing intention mingled.

The next moment, a piercing scream tore through the air. A powerful expert of the Saint Realm had met with disaster. Their face changed drastically, pupils shrinking as they stared fixedly in that direction.

WOOF WOOF!

Hei’s barks reached them. Then, another sword strike followed. Cold light flared, and a dense Sword Intent crashed down like the collapsing river of the Nine Heavens, submerging everything.

The thirty-odd powerful experts shivered, their faces revealing shock.

"Young Master, it’s a powerful Demon Race expert!" a Saint Realm cultivator exclaimed, his eyes wide with disbelief upon seeing the little black dog’s figure.

Bizarrely, however, there wasn’t a trace of Demon Aura on Hei—only a powerful Sword Dao, sharp sword beams, and a Power Path as steady as Mount Tai.

Amidst the slaughtering attacks, a sword domain even began to diffuse.

The group of experts was dumbfounded.

SQUEAK!

Mao Qiu had no sooner stood up than it fell over again.

It was very cute, but no one paid it any mind.

Li Chaoge watched in that direction, sensing a familiar fluctuation.

Very familiar, so very familiar... Yet, he couldn’t recall from where.

Soon, the Demon Race expert mentioned by the Saint Realm cultivator appeared. Li Chaoge saw the little black dog’s figure and frowned involuntarily.

At this moment, Hei had reverted to his usual state. He was no longer standing in a human-like form, nor was his expression cold. Only his honest face and clear, big eyes remained.

Chen Pingping walked over in a few steps and, seeing everyone safe, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let me go! Fuck, I can walk..." Wen Qingshan cursed, so furious he could spit blood.

This young master is a Divine Body, yet I’m being carried around like this!

So embarrassing!

Wen Qingshan broke free from the hand and turned his head towards Li Chaoge. "Elder, save me!"
