Chapter 407: Remove the Feeling
In fact, when they saw Zi Ji, they both had their suspicions, but they dared not think too much.
Such terrifying news!
They had barely set foot in the Nine Heavens, and they had not expected that bastard Chen Pingping would follow them there.
"He brought the Wuji Sect into the Nine Heavens," Liu Changqing said, coughing up blood.
"He established a Sect in the City of Extinction," Alan spoke up.
"He plundered the foundations of seventy to eighty powers." Liu Changqing felt himself starting to crack.
This is madness!
This was the Nine Heavens, damn it!
It was neither Nan Zhanbu Province nor Central Continent, much less the Wasteland or the Spirit Realm.
This land was vast and boundless, with no end in sight, brimming with numerous sects and family forces—each one of them mighty, far surpassing an existence like the Wuji Sect.
Yet, Chen Pingping had led the Wuji Sect into the Nine Heavens. Far from keeping a low profile, he had loudly proclaimed the Wuji Sect’s might, leading his Disciples to pillage far and wide.
The two were certain that not even the Young Emperor of ancient times would have dared to do such a thing.
In just over half a year, he had plundered seventy to eighty powers, and now they had formed a punitive alliance, ready to storm the Wuji Sect.
Wiping away a cold sweat, Liu Changqing said, "I have a feeling that this time, Chen Pingping is definitely done for."
"Drop the ’have a feeling’," Alan said, raising his head.
Seventy to eighty powers! Even if each power sent out just one Lord, that would be eighty Lords. With such a terrifying lineup moving against the Wuji Sect, could Chen Pingping possibly hold out? No, he couldn’t! Without a doubt. This time, Chen Pingping is doomed.
Thinking this, Liu Changqing couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Serves you right for being so arrogant and overbearing!
「At this moment, three thousand miles east of Fairy Valley, deep within the He Family.」
Having received the news, He Yitian became completely numb. Speechless and staring dumbfounded, he remained in shock for a good ten minutes.
How long has it been? Damn it, just over half a year, and that bastard Chen Pingping has caused such a huge disaster! Seventy to eighty powers! What on earth was he thinking?
"Someone, come! I must see the Family Head," He Yitian shouted.
After parting with Chen Pingping, he had returned to his family and had been placed under house arrest, unable to leave.
But this time, he had to leave the family.
A middle-aged, portly man arrived, asking respectfully, "Young Master? Is there something you need?"
"I want to see the Family Head," He Yitian said indignantly. "This matter concerns the future of the He Family, whether we can ascend to the ranks of a superpower within the next hundred years. Don’t try to stop me anymore!"
The middle-aged portly man replied helplessly, "Young Master, you may see the Family Head, but you must inform the Young Miss first. Only after she has reviewed the matter and made her decision will you be able to see the Family Head."
"???"
He Yitian exploded in anger. "A bunch of idiots! Morons! Clueless fools! That trash Family Head, he can go to hell!"
Never before had he been so angry.
Upon returning to the family, he had explained in every possible way his encounter with Chen Pingping, even recounting how Chen Pingping had repaired the spacecraft, but they did not believe him.
He Yitian was about to explode with frustration.
Nobody believed him, not even his own sister.
Even the eight witnesses were exiled by my sister... Why? I can’t accept this! Why won’t anyone believe me?
He had loudly informed the Family Elders that the spacecraft had once been severed, but after numerous inspections, they had found no trace of it.
He also said that the spacecraft was equipped with an Attack Array.
Yet, the entire family, from top to bottom, had failed to notice.
Chen Pingping truly is a Refining genius!
He Yitian felt helpless, his face pale. "I want to see my sister!"
The middle-aged portly man nodded. "The Eldest Miss is currently at the border. I will immediately send someone to notify her."
HEH HEH!
He Yitian laughed, but his smile was somewhat bitter.
I always thought of myself as the family’s genius, the kind that comes once in a thousand years, the one upon whom great expectations were placed. And it turns out, that was indeed the case. The family’s love for me was far greater than for any ordinary family disciple—from the Elders, Stewards, the Family Head, even those far away at the border. But I’ve grown up. Does the family intend to imprison me for life? It’s true I’m a genius, but I don’t want to be a genius coddled in a greenhouse. I want to experience life, to be tempered. I need friends to motivate me, and even strong enemies to pressure me, so I can strive to grow and step onto an invincible path. Clearly, the family Elders’ approach is wrong.
He Yitian took a deep breath and gazed in the direction of the City of Extinction, murmuring to himself, "It’s too late. It’s really too late."
Powerhouses from seventy to eighty forces have already arrived in that area. They’ll make their move soon. With the Wuji Sect’s current level of strength, they simply can’t withstand it. Chen Pingping might even fall. By then, the He Family will lose an unparalleled genius and the chance to change its destiny. How foolish!
He Yitian took another deep breath and calmed himself. He scanned his surroundings, chose a direction, and attempted to break out.
However, he was slapped back.
A middle-aged man spoke, "Young Master, without the Family Head’s command, you cannot leave."
"I want to see the Family Head," He Yitian said, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
"Steward Liu has already gone to inform the Eldest Miss. Whether you can see the Family Head will be her decision," the man stated.
"On what grounds?" He Yitian roared. "I’ve grown up! You have no right to imprison me, and neither does she!"
The man remained silent.
He Yitian looked at him coldly and said angrily, "I’ll say it again. I want to see the Family Head."
Deep within the He Family.
The current Family Head was a white-haired old man. He was short and slight in stature, with a frail appearance, but his eyes radiated vitality.
Upon learning of He Yitian’s outburst, he frowned. "Have you investigated?"
Below him, a man in a green robe replied, "We have. Chen Pingping of the Wuji Sect has no talent for Artifact Refining. He is just an ordinary Royal Realm Sword Cultivator."
"Oh?"
The Head of the He Family then looked at another person. "What about the spacecraft?"
That person answered, "We’ve inspected it inside and out ten times. There is no Attack Array as the Young Master mentioned, nor are there any signs of repair."
"So, Yitian’s claims—that the spacecraft was broken, that Chen Pingping repaired it, and his insistence that Chen Pingping is a Refining genius—are all false?" The Head of the He Family narrowed his eyes.
No one spoke.
In truth, whether it was real or fabricated, there was no need to even check. The He Family had spent hundreds of years crafting that spacecraft. The Array within it alone had consumed countless resources and effort. If the spacecraft were broken, only the He Family could repair it; no one else would be capable. Furthermore, according to He Yitian’s account, Chen Pingping had repaired the spacecraft in just a few short months. Not only that, but he had also supposedly added several Attack Arrays. How could that be possible? A Royal Realm cultivator repairing a Saint-level spacecraft? That’s utterly preposterous. Even if Chen Pingping were a genius, his actual strength was an insurmountable hurdle; he couldn’t possibly have done it.
At this moment, one of the Stewards spoke up, "Family Head, since Yitian insists that the spacecraft has been repaired and that several Attack Arrays have been added to it, then... why not let Yitian demonstrate its operation?"
The Head of the He Family paused for a moment and then said, "Bring him here!"
