Chapter 353 - 351, The only two remaining members of Mitian Sect, Divine Profound (3/4)

At the same time, two men who had left Cloud Sea City finally rode a demon beast heading towards Mitian Island.

They were the mysterious men at the Mu Family auction house earlier.

They were also the ones who discovered that Wen Ping was the person selling the Vortex Map when he left.

One of them was named Li Bo, and the other Zhao Ke. Both were in the Divine Profound Lower Realm, responsible for purchasing for the Mitian Sect and conducting business operations to maintain the sect’s normal functioning.

However, sitting on the back of a Wing Race great demon heading to the Mitian Sect, Li Bo and Zhao Ke felt uneasy under the stares of the surrounding people.

"Didn’t they say most of Mitian Sect’s top brass were dead?" whispered a woman.

Another quickly chimed in, "Yes, I heard they’re all dead. Why are there still two Divine Profound Realm practitioners alive?"

"What are you talking about?" Li Bo immediately turned his head.

"You two don’t know?"

"The Mitian Sect has been annihilated by a hidden sect from East Lake."

"It’s supposedly called the Immortal Sect."

"Now the whole of Mitian Island is in ruins, with no one left."

The people around began to chatter noisily.

Li Bo and Zhao Ke’s expressions changed, "We..."

They still thought of relaying the information that Wen Ping was the one selling the Two-Star Wind Attribute Vortex Map, but unexpectedly, they hadn’t even reached the Mitian Sect before hearing the news of its destruction.

How could they accept this?

They could clearly have used this information to gain credit.

Zhao Ke quickly asked, "Should we still go back?"

"Let’s go back and take a look," Li Bo decided to return to Mitian Island for a look.

But when they truly returned to Mitian Island and saw the devastation, Li Bo was somewhat broken.

The Mitian Sect was indeed destroyed.

Wasn’t it said that the Immortal Sect didn’t have any major figures behind it?

Just as they were thinking of looking inside, a man in the Profound Middle Realm suddenly blocked their way, dressed in the Hundred Sects Alliance’s attire, "Gentlemen, our Chief would like to talk to you."

"Talk about what?" Li Bo responded.

"Mitian Sect is no more, but the Hundred Sects Alliance welcomes you," the Profound Middle Realm man smiled in response—this man was naturally Chief Jin—he only dared to come and take a look a few days after the event.

Of course, he was actually forced to come.

Luckily, the trip yielded a surprise. Other forces were carving up the remnants of Mitian Sect’s power, but none were as substantial as the two Divine Profound Realm practitioners.

"Hmm."

Li Bo and Zhao Ke exchanged a glance and followed him.

Thus, both of them joined the Hundred Sects Alliance. Not because they wanted to, but because they had no choice. Leaving the Mitian Sect, they really didn’t know where to go, as they had offended quite a few people over the years.

"Chief Jin, we need to meet Chief Luo He! We have important information to tell him, but we have one request: give us a chief position." Since they had left the Mitian Sect, they decided to go all out.

Chief Jin nodded and left.

Half an hour later, the door to Li Bo and Zhao Ke’s room was pushed open.

A middle-aged man with his hands behind his back walked in—this was Luo He, the first chief of the Hundred Sects Alliance at Bright Mirror Lake. He looked at Li Bo and Zhao Ke, his expression quite serious, and simply asked, "Could it be you know the location of Mitian Sect’s hidden treasure?"

Seeing that Luo He had indeed arrived, Li Bo and Zhao Ke quickly went down on one knee.

"The information we have is more valuable than that... however, I hope Chief Luo can first grant us a position." Li Bo feared the Hundred Sects Alliance might suddenly turn on them if he revealed the information first.

"Alright!" said Luo He, directly taking out two chief tokens from his pocket and handing them over, "Here are the chief tokens, speak freely. But if I’m not satisfied with what you say, I won’t go back on my word, but I definitely won’t grant you real power."

"I know who sold the Two-Star Wind Attribute Vortex Map from Cloud Sea City," Li Bo said.

The entire room instantly fell silent.

"Everyone out."

Luo He waved his hand, and there was no one left in the room except the three of them.

...

Immortal Sect.

Wen Ping didn’t immediately enter Wind Valley because going in required staying for a while to make the most of the White Crystal. But today, he had other matters to attend to, and couldn’t casually enter Wind Valley.

First, Wen Ping made a trip to Medicine Mountain.

The Spirit Rice had fully ripened, and Zhao Ying and Ye Fei had finished husking all of it.

A total of six bags.

Enough to last half a month.

"Ye Fei, take them all to the kitchen."

"Okay." Ye Fei nodded and carried all six bags with one hand, leaving immediately.

Zhao Ying also wanted to help, but Wen Ping stopped her.

"Come inside with me."

Wen Ping led the way into the place where Zhao Ying lived.

It wasn’t a large room, but under Zhao Ying’s care, it had the appearance of a home.

Zhao Ying asked nervously, "Sect Leader, do you need anything?"

Wen Ping took out two Life Cigars, shut the window, sealing it off, and then said, "I’m giving you an opportunity... I’ll help you reshape your meridians, how far you go depends on yourself."

With that, Wen Ping lit the Life Cigar in his hand.

"Sect Leader!" Zhao Ying’s originally nervous expression immediately turned to excitement. She’d heard from Yun Liao that her meridians were reshaped by the Sect Leader—Wen Ping had such an extraordinary ability.

However, she never dared to hope that Wen Ping would help her.

Taking her in was already a help to her, how could she dare ask for anything more.

But now, the Sect Leader was actually offering to help her reshape her meridians.

How could she not be excited?

Reshaping her meridians was a dream she’d had for almost half a year.

"Alright, don’t kneel... is kneeling the only way you know to show gratitude?" Wen Ping stopped Zhao Ying, feeling rather helpless about her habitual kneeling whenever she got emotional.

He could advise men with sayings about not kneeling needlessly.

But what to do with women, he didn’t know such sayings.

"Sect Leader, from now on, my life belongs to you, Zhao Ying."

"Why would I want your life?"

Wen Ping then smiled and left Medicine Mountain.

After leaving Medicine Mountain, Wen Ping naturally headed to the back of Yunlan Mountain, where the Red-eyed Giant Ape was planting trees.

At this time, the Jianmu Forest was already two meters high, with all the trees at this height. Lush and flourishing, the wood qi it emitted made Wen Ping’s Changmo Technique hunger, like a starving dog.

The Red-eyed Giant Ape was the same as ever, arrogant, sitting there waiting for Wen Ping to approach, without even greeting.

"Sect Leader Wen, are you satisfied with the trees?"

"Satisfied."

Wen Ping bought another dozen or so Jianmu Tree Species—originally planning to stop after planting a hundred, but now he couldn’t stop.

"Here’s the Golden Shuttle Leaf." Immediately after, Wen Ping handed over the Jade Box containing the Golden Shuttle Leaf.

With a swoosh, the Red-eyed Giant Ape pounced forward.

Grabbing the Jade Box, joy spread across its face.

"I forgive you."

With that, the Red-eyed Giant Ape was about to stride off.

Wen Ping immediately reached out and grabbed hold of it, pinning the Red-eyed Giant Ape with one hand, rendering it immobile.

"Your power!" Being held with one hand, and unable to retaliate, the power truly frightened it.

When did this kid become so strong?

This was definitely power beyond the Profound Realm!

"Forgive me for what?" Wen Ping retorted.
