Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!

"It’s like this..." Chen Pingping said with a smile, then approached. "Haven’t you noticed how lazy Xiaoyu is?"

Bai Yisheng: "???"

"She’s too lazy. She hardly cultivates on normal days. How can this be right?" Chen Pingping sighed. "So, under the pretext of letting her go into seclusion, I actually arranged for an unparalleled expert to wait for her in the town and teach her to cultivate."

Oh? Bai Yisheng was stunned. "An unparalleled expert?"

"Yes," Chen Pingping nodded.

"How strong?" He was still somewhat incredulous.

"Stronger than you could possibly imagine." Chen Pingping thought of Yu Changfeng, his lips curving slightly upward. "A Quasi-Emperor!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Yisheng was instantly breathless.

The youth beside them also gaped in shock...

Chen Pingping leaned close and whispered in his ear, "Bai, I actually came here on a mission; I was ordered to come. However, I can’t reveal too much right now, so I can only tell you about this matter."

This immediately piqued Bai Yisheng’s curiosity. "Let’s hear it."

"This way!" Chen Pingping dragged him into a corner. "The first-generation ancestor of Fairy Valley, Yu Changfeng—he’s still alive."

"What?" Bai Yisheng looked shocked.

"Keep your voice down," Chen Pingping said in a hushed tone, his face a mixture of seriousness and gravity. "This matter must be kept secret. Ancestor Yu Changfeng said that there’s a big problem within Fairy Valley, and it’s very likely that an enemy has infiltrated us."

This? This?

Frankly, if it weren’t for the last two sentences, Bai Yisheng would never have believed it.

Right now, there indeed is a big problem within Fairy Valley, but...

An enemy infiltrated here?

He thought of his own master and then of the attitudes the various courts had towards the Fifth Court.

Could Ancestor really still be alive? Had he always been watching over Fairy Valley? Now that he has detected the crisis within Fairy Valley, he intends to take action.

With this thought, Bai Yisheng became excited. "Quick, take me to see Ancestor."

"Not yet; the time isn’t right," Chen Pingping replied. "Grandmaster said that the problem within Fairy Valley can’t be dealt with because the enemy is too powerful. That’s why he founded the Wuji Sect..."

Bai Yisheng: "???"

"That’s right, I’m laying my cards on the table. The Wuji Sect was founded by Grandmaster Yu Changfeng. Otherwise, why do you think the Wuji Sect can maintain a peaceful foothold within the City of Extinction?" Chen Pingping said. "Naturally, it’s because Grandmaster is backing us."

Bai Yisheng was a bit dazed.

Grandmaster? He actually referred to their own Ancestor as "Grandmaster." And he even claimed that Ancestor founded the Wuji Sect. Wasn’t that nonsense? The Wuji Sect originated from Heaven Martial, didn’t it? It even produced an Emperor Realm expert; how could it possibly have been founded by Ancestor?

He shook his head, and the excitement he felt before quickly died down. "Fine, I have already sent a message to the Steward. He will be here shortly. If you don’t want to die, you’d better leave now."

"You don’t believe me?" Chen Pingping was taken aback.

"I believe you. I believe everything. If you said Ancestor Yu Changfeng was your grandfather, I’d believe that too," Bai Yisheng said with a faint smile. "Now, this very moment, get out of the Fifth Court."

Dark lines appeared on Chen Pingping’s face, but he didn’t argue. Instead, he secretly pulled out the "Three-legged Immortal Cauldron" and asked, "Recognize this?"

Bai Yisheng was dumbfounded.

"Grandmaster knew you wouldn’t believe, so he gave me this ancient cauldron. That’s right, this is Grandmaster’s Destiny God Weapon," Chen Pingping said proudly. "Now, you must believe me, right?"

Indeed. This ancient cauldron, how could it be?

Bai Yisheng’s heart pounded. Although he had never actually seen the Three-legged Immortal Cauldron, Fairy Valley had various records of it, many including illustrations.

And the Three-legged Immortal Cauldron Chen Pingping had taken out looked exactly the same!

Good heavens! Ancestor was indeed still alive.

Bai Yisheng was excited once again. "I want to see Ancestor."

"Stay calm," Chen Pingping said with a smile. "The situation in Fairy Valley is currently very complex. Formidable enemies are infiltrating this place, and it’s not suitable for Grandmaster to appear, because his condition isn’t very good either..."

"Then?" Bai Yisheng stared at him intensely. "So, the ’Quasi-Emperor’ you just mentioned is actually Ancestor?"

"Correct!"

"How is Ancestor now?"

"Not very good, but not too bad either."

"When can I meet Ancestor?"

"Not for now. Grandmaster is currently very disappointed in all of you and doesn’t trust you much, because any one of you could potentially be an enemy," Chen Pingping explained.

"..."

"But don’t worry, I believe in you," Chen Pingping looked at him.

"Thank you..." Bai Yisheng said, a little choked up.

Because Yu Changfeng didn’t trust anyone in Fairy Valley, he had sent Chen Pingping here, and the first person Chen Pingping found was him.

With this thought, he was suddenly moved.

HEY, HEY, HEY! He had just misunderstood Daoist Chen. Bai Yisheng, you’re awful!

Chen Pingping said with a smile, "Stay calm, be cool-headed. The situation in Fairy Valley isn’t good right now; many formidable enemies have infiltrated. We must remain rational at all times and not expose Grandmaster’s existence."

"I understand, I get it..." Bai Yisheng took a deep breath and calmed down. "I was being impulsive just now."

"It’s okay," Chen Pingping spoke. "Alright, now it’s time to talk about Grandmaster’s plan."

"Go ahead!"

"First, you need to select some seeds—those with great talent and insight—and then take some of Fairy Valley’s cultivation resources and quickly flee this place," Chen Pingping said.

"Why?" Bai Yisheng was stunned, feeling that something was off.

Why flee from this place? Isn’t Fairy Valley doing well? Even if there are formidable enemies among us, most of us are still disciples of Fairy Valley. It surely hasn’t reached the stage of abandonment, has it? Chen Pingping’s words seemed to be telling him that Fairy Valley was doomed and to hurry and save his own life! That was preposterous.

"This is Grandmaster’s wisdom. Many years ago, he sensed the problems within Fairy Valley, so he entered the Heaven Martial Continent and founded the Wuji Sect. Now... Grandmaster has asked me to bring the Wuji Sect back. In reality, he has recovered considerable strength and wants to reintegrate Fairy Valley. Ah, I must say, Grandmaster is truly peerless! Such patience, such wisdom... only Grandmaster could possess such qualities in this world, right?" Chen Pingping said.

Bai Yisheng felt bewildered, unable to articulate his feelings, and found it absurd. Yet, he held the Three-legged Immortal Cauldron, which Ancestor had used in his attempt to refine a Heaven Tao Divine Weapon.

"Where should I go?" Bai Yisheng asked.

"Of course, to the City of Extinction," Chen Pingping replied, a serious look on his face, yet his heart was blooming with joy.

The City of Extinction was vast, and he could completely establish another safe small world there. Moreover, with the bizarre, cursed, and destructive forces separating it, even Yu Changfeng’s Divine Sense would probably find it difficult to penetrate, right? Safe!

Before Bai Yisheng could speak, Chen Pingping continued, "Do you have confidence?"

Upon hearing it was the City of Extinction, the sullenness Bai Yisheng felt was swept away, replaced by excitement because Ancestor Yu Changfeng was in the City of Extinction.

If he went there, he could meet him immediately.

"Yes!" he answered.

"Good. Grandmaster’s ideals, his ambitions, his grand aspirations—we will carry them all. Though we are not yet strong enough, I firmly believe that a day will come when we will be stronger. Then we can share Grandmaster’s burden, or even fight alongside Grandmaster," Chen Pingping said earnestly.

"That’s right, fight side by side." Bai Yisheng was excited. "I will go and take care of it right now."

MM-HMM!

Chen Pingping smiled inwardly, thinking, This child has an immeasurable future!

At this moment, Liu Kuangyi, who had received Bai Yisheng’s call for help, also arrived. However, the help message did not specify who it was from, only mentioning that a formidable enemy had broken in.

Therefore, as Liu Kuangyi was about to arrive at the courtyard, he began to activate his Divine Weapon. A shout came through: "What audacity, intruding upon Fairy Valley’s Fifth Court!"
