Chapter 848 - 846: The Astonishing Origins of the Child
When meeting with An, Guang Xiaoyu, and others at Qing Cui Mountain, Chen Pingping wasn't idle; he quietly left the small village and came to the rumored Valley of Death.
Of course, he didn't enter it but stood outside, several hundred miles away, quietly gazing at it...
The view ahead was blurry: mountains, flowing water, ancient trees, grass, stones, resembling a painting; yet... for some reason, he couldn't see these images clearly.
It seemed as if a layer of mist was swirling around, obscuring his vision, as if a force was covering the sky.
Clearly, the Valley of Death was a terrifying Life Prohibited Zone, yet it was full of life here, vastly different from the rumors.
Chen Pingping studied it carefully.
He practiced insight, but... at this moment, his insight had no effect; he couldn't perceive or capture anything.
After a long time...
Chen Pingping suddenly activated the past's profound mysteries.
Time rewound.
In an instant, splendor erupted, from blur to clarity, he saw a familiar figure, the Moon God.
She was as beautiful as ever, wearing a long red dress, her hair draped over her shoulders, with a delicate face, bright eyes, and white teeth, every smile and frown resembling a blooming of flowers on earth.
With a few steps, she'd look back, as if lingering over something.
Her slightly bewitching eyes were full of reluctance...
Next moment, a gentle breeze blew through, and the Moon God vanished without a trace, completely gone.
Chen Pingping: "???"
He felt he could still hold on for a while, and the Moon God hadn't entered the Valley of Death, still outside, why did she suddenly disappear?
Chen Pingping activated the past's profound mysteries again, and the scenes he saw remained unchanged.
He frowned deeply.
Unfortunately, if Jiang Ni'er were here, she would certainly be able to explain his confusion.
Not everything in the world can be freely deduced; some entities are taboo, like the Moon God.
Therefore, Jiang Ni'er really hoped he wouldn't seek the Moon God, if possible, to abandon everything here, return to the Nine Heavens land, even if Chen Pingping had to battle the Ancient City, attacking the Heavens would be fine.
Time passed...
Chen Pingping stood motionless, quietly watching ahead.
At this moment!
In an ancient town, Qing Cui Mountain had just disembarked from the spaceship, suddenly seeing Guang Xiaoyu and An, not knowing their identities or backgrounds.
But this was the Netherworld, and the people seen should all be of the Ming Tribe, yet two humans were mixed in.
Fishy.
Qing Cui Mountain immediately started scrutinizing, looking at the other party with great interest.
At this time, shocking news came from the mouths of the onlookers, Daughter of the Moon God, An.
Upon hearing these words, Qing Cui Mountain laughed.
Without making a rash move, he ordered the powerhouse behind him to guard outside the town, then led a few people into the town, heading to the inn where the two women were.
"Serve the dishes..." Qing Cui Mountain curled his lips, found a seat, and sat down, in a position with a clear view of An and Guang Xiaoyu.
"Sure thing!" The waiter at the inn responded promptly.
At this moment...
An suddenly tensed up, wanting to speak.
Guang Xiaoyu quickly stopped her, smiled, and signaled her to stay quiet.
From the moment she landed from the spaceship, Guang Xiaoyu had perceived it; frankly, she was worried at first, thinking that a stronger presence from the Divine Clan had arrived.
But unexpectedly, a young lad walked down from the spaceship.
Seemingly just at the Quasi-Emperor Realm.
Undeniably, this realm is strong, but... it also depends on who they're facing.
"Bring a plate of iron-grilled duck." Qing Cui Mountain grinned.
What the heck!
Blackhead Duck instantly burst into rage.
Guang Xiaoyu held it down: "Don't rush."
The visitor was young, merely a Quasi-Emperor Realm, but it's not guaranteed that he didn't have stronger people behind him; moreover... it was rumored that King Luo of the True Martial Clan was about to descend upon the Netherworld.
Therefore, she had to be cautious; acting recklessly would likely invite disaster.
Additionally, on this journey, she didn't bring Lao Huang or the Devouring Sky Beast, only a duck; the sense of security seemed a bit lacking.
Qing Cui Mountain deliberately ordered a plate of iron-grilled duck because he saw Blackhead Duck, and inwardly sneered, a duck dares to take the stage?
Just then, a group of people arrived outside the ancient town.
Leading them was a stout middle-aged man with a full beard, burly and robust, with bewitching eyes that commanded authority.
He led the team.
But in the middle of the team, there was a luxurious and large carriage.
Clearly, this was no ordinary carriage; the person inside must be noble.
Whoa!
After entering the ancient town, the leading man's pace slowed down.
In total, there were about thirty people, all Perfection Qi Refiners.
From the carriage stepped out a seven- or eight-year-old child, but... though the child was young, with a tender face, his expression was composed, eyes profound, giving an overall sense of precocity.
Wearing luxurious clothing, trimmed with gold thread, a head of long hair tied with cloud pins, if not for the age, others would have thought him to be a young genius of unparalleled talent.
Quite dignified.
After stepping off the carriage, he walked boldly: "Ten portions of Demon Cave Monkey Brain, fresh ones."
Bang!
Hundreds of Original Stones were slapped onto the table by the young boy.
The onlookers were stunned, a bit bewildered, having no idea whose child this arrogant brat was?
The team had no flag.
The faces of the powerhouse were unfamiliar, making it impossible to deduce the young boy's identity or background.
But with a little perception, one could capture the boy's astonishing Innate Qi within.
A talented seedling.
Everyone was shocked.
The bearded man followed inside, his eyes coldly sweeping over the inn, pausing on Qing Cui Mountain for a moment, then falling on An.
Their purpose was obvious.
Qing Cui Mountain smiled, without saying a word.
An grew even more tense; she could clearly sense Qing Cui Mountain was here for her, and she could also sense the young boy was here for her.
Both were strong.
The former had a high realm; the latter had an extraordinary temperament and Innate Qi, possibly the child of a Big Shot.
Compared to them, An seemed like an ordinary child from a small mountain village, dim and unremarkable...
"Uh, dear sir, we don't have monkey brains here." A man squeezed out a smile, nervously approaching.
Bang!
The young boy had a quick temper; upon hearing this, he slammed the table hard, his eyes coldly sweeping over: "Without monkey brains, what kind of business are you running?"
The man smiled awkwardly.
"Then kill that duck." He pointed not far away, coldly saying: "This is your last chance."
Very assertive and domineering.
Everyone guessed he must be the young master of a significant power.
However...
Even if he's the young master of a significant power, would daring to directly act against the daughter of Chen Pingping of the Human Clan be going too far?
One must know Chen Pingping of the Human Clan dared to stand firm against generals from Luo Feng Mountain; recently, he even slain an Emperor Realm expert from the True Martial Clan and a young genius.
No one spoke; the inn's atmosphere instantly grew heavy.
They all had a premonition that something big was about to happen.
Blackhead Duck, upon hearing this, was furious like a thunderstorm; it, a dignified Quasi-Emperor Realm powerhouse, how could it tolerate such humiliation from a brat?
But?
The other party was just a child.
Qing Cui Mountain humiliated it; it could still act.
The ensuing brat humiliated it; it couldn't retaliate, or else people would mock it for bullying the young.
Blackhead Duck looked at An: "You go, kill him for me; you're now my personal disciple."
An perished.
