Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 564 You Are Too Weak

Wen Qingshan was shocked because Chen Pingping’s words were exactly what Jiang Ni’er had described.

He intended to slay the Demon Emperor.

In the eyes of the Wuji Sect members, it seemed like a joke. But Wen Qingshan knew Chen Pingping was serious.

He couldn’t believe it. "Is the ancestor of the Wuji Sect still alive?"

Jiang Ni’er shook her head. "I don’t know."

"Does the Wuji Sect have an Emperor Weapon?" he asked again.

"Not now, but probably very soon," Jiang Ni’er said. "He entered the Dragon Soul Secret Realm, the Ancient Country, and the Wind Cloud List battlefield, all to forge a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon. Coupled with the current City of Extinction... perhaps... it’s no longer just a dream."

A few years ago, Chen Pingping had said he would forge a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon. It was just that no one believed him.

Wen Qingshan drew a deep breath, his heart like a stormy sea. Forge a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon? Slay the Demon Emperor? Which ordinary cultivator would dare to even dream of such things? Yet, Chen Pingping not only dared to dream but also acted upon it.

Jiang Ni’er chuckled lightly. "Although you possess a Divine Body, rare in this world, you cannot keep up with Chen’s pace." She wasn’t mocking him; she was merely stating a fact. Wen Qingshan’s perspective and experiences were far from the level Chen Pingping had reached.

He remained silent.

"What is the invincible path?" Jiang Ni’er spoke softly. "Chen may not fully understand it, but he knows he has a large family—the Wuji Sect. Thus, everything he does, every path he walks, revolves around this large family. Either we all achieve invincibility together, or we all fall together on the path. That’s all."

Having said this, Jiang Ni’er fell silent and strode away.

But Wen Qingshan, left behind, was deeply shaken, a profound understanding dawning upon him. In just a few short minutes, Jiang Ni’er’s words seemed to open a door to a realm he had never before encountered. Behind this door, he saw a different world, an extraordinary individual.

Then he recalled Gu Mang’s recent demeanor, and He Yitian. The densely packed figures below, from the experts of the Wuji Sect to those in Fairy Valley, as well as Hongxiu... He began to understand why everyone knew Chen Pingping was eloquent and exceptionally persuasive, yet they never mentioned it.

Wen Qingshan was lost in thought. For the past few days, he had been pondering these questions and grew curious about the kind of person Chen Pingping truly was.

No one in the Wuji Sect believed that Chen Pingping would go slay the Demon Emperor. They were still discussing how to withstand the Demon Race army’s slaughter. Only some in the upper echelons began to change their minds.

「On the fifth day.」

A message arrived from the Human Clan borders: the Demon Race army was beginning to assemble and would soon enter the border region.

Anxiety spread within the Alliance, and the high command sent messages instructing the Wuji Sect to prepare for battle, as Chen Pingping had caused this great calamity.

Hongxiu was annoyed. With a wave of her hand, she sent back a message: "Even if Chen Pingping hadn’t slain Qin Meng, would the Demon Race not have invaded the Human Clan? Would the Demon Emperor not still covet the Human Clan’s territory?"

Nonsense.

There has always been discord between the Human Clan and the Demon Race. Since the birth of the Demon Emperor, innumerable wars, large and small, had been fought, and countless bones lay buried in the borderlands. Honestly, Chen Pingping had merely given them an excuse. For the Alliance high command to be so afraid of death truly dishonored the Alliance’s glory.

Hongxiu’s expression was dark.

"What’s the big deal?" Chen Pingping walked in, smiling faintly. "Let’s think counterintuitively. We’ll take the initiative and disrupt the Demon Race army’s assembly."

Everyone was stunned.

A few days ago, just after returning to the Wuji Sect, Chen Pingping had spoken of slaying the Demon Emperor to end the Demon Race army’s slaughter. Now, he was talking about taking the initiative...

Brother! That’s the Demon Race!

As everyone knows, Demon Race warriors are known to be bellicose, possessing formidable physiques and astonishing bloodlines. When they unleash their power, a single Demon Race warrior can easily slay three to five Human Clan cultivators of the same realm.

This meant that the higher the cultivation level of the assembled Demon Race experts, the greater the pressure on the Human Clan, requiring even more cultivators on their side. Otherwise, they simply couldn’t withstand the slaughter.

Furthermore, the environment of the Demon Race’s lands is particularly harsh. Human Clan cultivators venturing there cannot adapt quickly and would only suffer more. This was the primary reason the Human Clan had always remained on the defensive, never daring to launch an offensive.

Before they could voice their thoughts, Chen Pingping continued, "The Demon Emperor hasn’t awakened yet and will likely need some time. Therefore, the assembled Demon Race army won’t be overwhelmingly strong. I believe... we should take the initiative."

The group: "..."

"How do we take the initiative?" Hongxiu asked. Although she also felt it was inappropriate, she instinctively trusted Chen Pingping.

"We divide our forces into two," Chen Pingping smiled. "You dispatch some experts to reassure the Alliance and try to persuade them. If persuasion fails, then disregard them. Attract the Demon Race army’s attention from the front; provoke them if necessary. Then, my Qingfeng experts will strike the Demon Race army from the flank, shattering their formation."

They were stunned once more.

It could not be denied that the Wuji Sect today was different from its past. With over forty Saint Realm experts, it was a formidable power. But even if they deployed all their Saint Realm experts, they still couldn’t possibly match the Demon Race. That race, renowned for their physical prowess and fierce, warlike nature, would only have more great demons, not fewer. Over forty Saint Realm experts wouldn’t be enough.

Secondly, the Wuji Sect forces, attracting the Demon Race’s attention and provoking them from the front, wouldn’t even be the main assault force this time. Chen Pingping actually intended for Qingfeng’s experts to be the main force for shattering the Demon Race army’s formation.

Wasn’t this a joke? Is he mad?

Chen Pingping smiled. "No problem, right?" He looked at Hongxiu.

Hongxiu remained silent.

After a long pause...

Hongxiu looked up. "You all wait outside. I need to talk with Chen Pingping for a moment."

The group of sect higher-ups left one after another. Within a minute or two, the palace emptied, leaving only two figures.

She squinted, gazing at Chen Pingping. "You’re not doing this out of guilt, feeling that you’ve caused a huge disaster and therefore don’t want to implicate the Wuji Sect, are you?"

Chen Pingping: "???"

"Are you?"

"How could I be?"

"Then? Can you explain why you want to divide our forces?" Hongxiu asked. "Today’s Wuji Sect isn’t the Wuji Sect of old."

Uh! Chen Pingping was taken aback. He truly hadn’t considered these matters.

Before he could speak, Hongxiu continued, "The Wuji Sect has over forty powerful Saint Realm experts. They could absolutely serve as the main force to repel the Demon Race this time. Conversely... Qingfeng has too few people."

She had wanted to say that Qingfeng had too few experts. But then she thought of Zi Ji, Guang Xiaoyu, Lao Huang, Hei... and changed her words.

Chen Pingping let out an "Oh" and laughed. "No, I just think you’re all too weak."

Hongxiu: "..."

"My Qingfeng may have few people, but... our combat strength is still considerable," Chen Pingping said leisurely. "Hmm, let’s settle it this way. We divide our forces. Oh... by the way, don’t worry about the Demon Emperor. I’ll deal with him soon."

I need time. I have to forge the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon. As long as this Divine Weapon is forged, combined with my abilities, even if the Demon Emperor himself comes, I’ll have the power to fight. In fact, I plan to get this done before the Demon Emperor awakens, sneak into the Demon Race, eliminate him quietly, and then amaze everyone.

Chen Pingping lifted his head, laughing. "We leave tomorrow. You can arrange things on your end. My Qingfeng will be the main force. This time, we’re aiming for something big."
