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

Xiaoyu and Zi Ji are both in Fairy Valley. If Wuji Sect chooses a location near Fairy Valley, we could take care of any matters that arise, Chen Pingping thought.

Just then, a roar shattered the peace. "He Xiaor, do you have a death wish?"

Who was that? everyone wondered, looking up in unison. Who has such a loud voice?

The corners of the eight Lords’ mouths twitched. They glanced at He Yitian, then towards the direction of the voice.

Soon, a tall, powerfully built woman appeared in their sight. She wore silver armor and carried a large saber on her shoulder. The saber itself was snow-white, and upon closer inspection, one could feel the faint fluctuations of Dharma Principles emanating from it. This was an imperial-level Divine Weapon.

The woman had a heroic bearing, her eyes bright and piercing. She strode across the sky, and when she landed, she stood like a War God, radiating a terrifying killing intention from head to toe.

Her name was He Yidan, He Yitian’s only sister.

"He Xiaor," He Yidan said, looking coldly at her younger brother. "How many days have you been back?"

"Two days..." He Yitian wiped cold sweat from his brow.

"And you’re aware it’s been two days?" she pressed.

"No, Sister! I mean, yes, it’s only been two days! I was just about to return to the family to report in, really!" He Yitian stammered, starting to panic.

Hearing He Yitian call her "Sister," Chen Pingping was stunned. He remembered the words He Yitian had used to describe her before.

Gentle and charming? Beautiful and dignified?

The corner of Chen Pingping’s mouth twitched.

"You’re courting death!" He Yidan roared, gripping her saber and slashing down.

He Yitian cried out in alarm and scrambled away.

The two siblings immediately began a chaotic chase.

Chen Pingping’s expression darkened. He asked one of the Lords, "Who is this?"

That Lord gave him a sidelong glance and said in an unhurried tone, "She is the Young Miss of our He Family."

"He Yitian’s sister?" Chen Pingping asked again.

"Yes."

"How many sisters does He Yitian have?"

"One."

Chen Pingping was speechless.

With an expressionless face, Chen Pingping said, "You all should head back now."

That Lord sighed. "Indeed. The Young Miss is quite strict with the Second Young Master because he is... quite different from ordinary people."

"Then, farewell," Chen Pingping said, not elaborating further.

He didn’t have a deep connection with He Yitian. When it was time to part, they should part. Besides, since they were all on the Southern Diaspora, He Yitian could easily find him if needed.

As for the flying ship, after they entered the Nine Heavens, Chen Pingping had Earth Chicken erase all traces of its Arrays and conceal it. Unless a Saint Realm Array Master intervened, no one would be able to find the hidden Arrays.

Of course, it wouldn’t matter even if it were found; Chen Pingping had a contingency plan.

And so, he hurriedly departed with his more than one thousand Sect disciples.

「In the mountains.」

The siblings were still chasing each other. One, He Yidan, was brimming with rage, her killing intention veiled with concern. The other, He Yitian, desperately fled, crying out explanations as he ran.

This continued for a full hour.

Eventually, He Yidan seemed to tire. She sheathed her saber and looked at him coldly. "Do you have any idea how many people want to kill you? You’ve been back in the Nine Heavens for two days. Why haven’t you returned to the family?"

"Sister, please listen to me! I’ve discovered a Refining genius, really, I swear..." He Yitian said, his voice laced with dejection. He glanced towards where Chen Pingping had been.

But the area was empty. Where had Chen Pingping gone?

He Yitian was dumbfounded. "Sister, just give me one more day! Please!"

I have a bad feeling, he thought desperately. Chen Pingping is going to establish a Sect in the City of Extinction! This is a huge deal. That place is terrifying, filled with all sorts of strange powers. And it’s the old site of Fairy Valley! To establish a Sect there, he’ll first have to get past Fairy Valley.

"Are you determined to die?" He Yidan stared at him.

He Yitian’s face turned pale. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. It’s no use, I can’t stop him,

he realized with a sinking heart. Looking at his "spirited and heroic" sister, who was still nagging and clearly irritated, He Yitian couldn’t help feeling a bit annoyed himself. But in the end, he didn’t retort.

He Yidan’s patience had run out. "We’re going back!" she declared.

The flying ship is still with me, He Yitian thought, a new resolve forming. I have to take it back to the family and tell the elders. They must stop Chen Pingping from establishing his Sect!

"You eight, go report to the frontier!" He Yidan’s expression was cold as she swept her gaze over the eight Lords.

Hearing this, all eight Lords’ faces turned pale.

He Yitian, a hint of anger in his voice, said, "Sister, you’re going too far!"

「The City of Extinction」

This place, which ordinary people avoided at all costs, had become a treasure trove in Chen Pingping’s eyes.

Just moments ago, he had commanded the Devouring Sky Beast to test its abilities here. The result was astonishing: it really could devour the Power of Curse, the Strange Power, and even the Forbidden Power present in the city.

Chen Pingping grinned.

However, he didn’t let the Devouring Sky Beast devour everything completely. He had it conduct only a small trial, intentionally leaving most of the City of Extinction’s terrifying powers intact.

After all, he mused, having a sword and choosing not to use it is entirely different from not having a sword at all.

These Strange Powers from the City of Extinction would serve as an additional layer of protection, helping Wuji Sect survive its most difficult initial phase.

But in Hongxiu’s eyes, the pervasive energies in the City of Extinction were still terrifying, making her soul tremble. Her heart pounded with fear. She looked at Chen Pingping beside her. "Can’t we... pick somewhere else?"

"No," Chen Pingping said, shaking his head with a smile. "Right here is perfect."

Hongxiu was speechless.

He must be out of his mind, Hongxiu thought, regarding Chen Pingping’s decision.

But Chen Pingping was insistent on establishing their base here. They discussed it for a full hour to no avail. Eventually, Hongxiu had no choice but to compromise.

"Everyone, follow me! Don’t wander off!" Chen Pingping commanded. He then led the more than one thousand Sect disciples majestically into the City of Extinction.

Earth Chicken and Mao Qiu cleared the path, leading the way forward.

They passed through a stretch of ruins and reached the central area of the City of Extinction. There, Chen Pingping ordered Mao Qiu to devour the Strange Power, the Power of Curse, and any other harmful energies in the vicinity.

In short, he wanted to ensure the core area intended for Wuji Sect was clean.

Mao Qiu completed its task flawlessly in just a few minutes. Then, Earth Chicken took action, beginning to set up Arrays, encasing the cleared area layer by layer.

Once all this was done, Chen Pingping gave the next order: begin constructing the buildings.

「Three days passed.」

The dangers Hongxiu had worried about still hadn’t materialized. Her gaze grew somewhat perplexed as she looked at the Sect disciples still busy working in the distance, and then back at Chen Pingping.

He looked serene, showing no sign of concern about the inherent dangers of the "City of Extinction."

It seems everything truly is under his control, Hongxiu mused.

Seeing this, Hongxiu said no more. After all, so many inexplicable things have already happened around him, she thought. What’s one more?

「Seven days later.」

The outlines of the buildings were faintly discernible.

「Ten days later.」

Most of the structures had begun to take shape. It seemed it wouldn’t be long before a brand-new Sect would appear in this terrifying place.

「Fifteen days later.」

Chen Pingping looked at Li Qi. "Alright, most of the buildings are complete. Go outside and set up the Sect’s gatehouse."

"Huh?" Li Qi was taken aback. "Outside the City of Extinction?"

"Of course," Chen Pingping said. "A gatehouse should definitely be placed outside."

"Master, I think we should wait a bit longer," Li Qi said, wiping sweat from his brow. With Wuji Sect’s current strength, we’re at risk of being annihilated by any small faction on the Southern Diaspora. We should develop quietly until our strength is sufficient before setting up a gatehouse. Isn’t that the sensible approach? Is there really a need to be so hasty? he thought.

Chen Pingping’s face was stern. "The gatehouse is highly significant. It marks the birth of a Sect. Otherwise, how will Wuji Sect contend with others for resources?"

Li Qi was speechless.

Not developing in secret? Already starting to fight for resources? The Master has gone mad!

Hongxiu shot him a sidelong glance, the corner of her mouth twitching.

"Ah, Hongxiu, come here for a moment. I have a plan to discuss with you," Chen Pingping said. "Now that the Sect has been established, shouldn’t our top priority be to... acquire some cultivation resources?"

"Seize?" Hongxiu’s eyes widened.

"Oh, I misspoke," Chen Pingping said with a slight smile. "I meant ’strive for’."
