Chapter 375: 373. It turned out to be an apology.
In the sky, the Winged Demon squad gradually approached.
From a distance, they looked like a dark cloud pressing down, with a thunderstorm impending. However, the sky was cloudless, allowing people to clearly see the spectacle in the sky, including Wen Ping.
"It’s Murong Qing again?" As they came closer, Murong Qing’s face clearly appeared in view.
Why is this guy like a locust?
In this world where humans and demons coexist, he didn’t want to be a good person, but he also didn’t want to be a ruthless killer.
Does this guy have to force him to kill him?
"Murong Qing, is it that my Immortal Sect can’t scare you, or has your Hundred Sects Alliance become too audacious?" Wen Ping quietly stood there, with Zhao Yi standing by his side, looking so ordinary, lacking the imposing aura of a supreme expert. Yet, even so, it made the whole Winged Demon squad abruptly halt.
"Sect Leader Wen, we came to make amends... What’s on the back of these Great Demons are offerings for you." Murong Qing smiled bitterly, then gave Han Feiyue next to him a scornful glance, wishing he hadn’t believed this guy earlier.
They didn’t put them in a Storage Ring but carried them on the Winged Great Demons.
This sincere gesture of apology wasn’t noticed first, instead, it caused a misunderstanding.
Han Feiyue also quickly chimed in, "Sect Leader Wen, I represent the entire Extreme Realm Mountain to apologize to you... These Celestial Materials on the backs of the Winged Great Demons, as well as various Martial Arts and Vein Techniques, are all gifts."
"So much?"
Wen Ping glanced at the backs of the Giant Demons and smiled.
"Are you no longer holding a grudge over your son’s death?" If Han Feiyue could really let it go, Wen Ping could only offer two words — how dog.
Han Feiyue responded, "My son was ignorant and offended Sect Leader Wen, and the lesson he received was deserved. Please accept these things... In the future, our Extreme Realm Mountain will never again offend anyone from the Immortal Sect."
The promise was made so convincingly.
However, Wen Ping only smiled without speaking.
Just as Wen Ping was thinking, Long Ke beside him immediately showed a disappointed look.
"So they didn’t come to cause trouble." She wanted to prove her value, and now her wish was unfulfilled, "What’s happened to the Hundred Sects Alliance, why apologize to a two-star Immortal Sect? Could it be they know about my sister’s identity?"
But then she thought it was impossible.
If the Hundred Sects Alliance knew her sister’s identity, it definitely wouldn’t be someone from the Profound Realm coming.
"Sigh, strange." With a sigh, Long Ke returned to her room in the Main Hall. Looking through the window at the distant Winged Demon squad, she then fell into a somber contemplation.
As it turns out, her sister deceived her.
The Immortal Sect didn’t need her protection, Wen Ping was doing just fine without any care.
On the other side, Wen Ping broke free from his thoughts.
Accept.
Or not to accept.
That was the question.
The things these people did to others, such as offering bounties for the enemies’ heads, are certainly deadly, but to him, it was almost no issue, like scratching an itch.
That’s why Wen Ping had never gone to find them.
"Convert the gifts to cash... give directly as White Crystal," Wen Ping hesitated between two choices for a while, then spoke.
Murong Qing was delighted, as he feared Wen Ping would not accept, "Sect Leader Wen, then what about our grudge?"
"Don’t let me see you again next time. Oh, also remove the Hundred Sects Alliance branches around here, they irritate me." Wen Ping referred to Black Rock City and several towns close to Cangwu City.
"Naturally."
Murong Qing nodded.
Though it felt uncomfortable, there was no choice; his only option was to nod.
Han Feiyue, seeing Wen Ping and Murong Qing talking it out, quickly added, "Sect Leader Wen, what about me?"
"You?" Wen Ping glanced at the Winged Demons behind him, "Convert as well... just send White Crystal. Don’t let me see your people in the future, don’t wander into this area for no reason, otherwise, these White Crystals will have been given for nothing."
"Alright." Han Feiyue gritted his teeth and nodded, forcing out a smile, but then let out a sigh of relief, "Sect Leader Wen, the White Crystals I brought are only over 200 pieces."
Han Feiyue quickly signaled to the person next to him.
Murong Qing did the same.
The two together took out nearly 400 White Crystals — this was already their limit.
Upon receiving the Storage Ring, Wen Ping immediately looked up at the two and said, "Hurry and leave... before I change my mind."
Destroying the East Lake Hundred Sects Alliance, exterminating Extreme Realm Mountain; killing Murong Qing, killing Han Feiyue, none of these were important to Wen Ping. Going out of the way to deal with them would simply be a waste of time, and thoroughly leveling everything would require using the Explosive Flame Star Chasing Cannon, wasting White Crystals.
Better to just let them live on pitifully.
Of course, it was mainly a waste of time.
After setting up Jianmu Forest, he cherished time greatly, with a ninefold unlimited time cultivation boost, wasting even a minute was shameful.
"Sect Leader Wen, then we’ll take our leave."
"Farewell."
The two clasped fists, immediately turning their demonic heads to fly back the way they came.
Long Ke, seeing this scene, had a fascinating expression, "Did we just get hundreds of White Crystals?"
Are these two fools?
Specifically here to gift White Crystals.
Are two-star forces this wealthy?
White Crystals, that’s not a small amount; even as a Mountain Suppression Realm, she’s reluctant to spend this much White Crystal at once. Only clan leaders or sect leaders of the Mountain Suppression Realm would be so extravagant.
"Better to stroll around." Continuing to stay in the Main Hall lost its appeal, so Long Ke had no choice but to leave, heading towards Churao Mountain.
Wen Ping didn’t know what Long Ke was thinking now, nor did he know she was watching. After putting away the Storage Ring, he joyfully headed back. Including the more than one thousand three hundred White Crystals on him now — he was rich again.
The two walked side by side, with Long Ke remaining silent.
Eventually, the awkwardness was broken, "Zhao Keqing, if you truly have nothing to do, you can ask Zhao Wangbo. Playing chess or carving are available... if you’re not interested in either, pay the 300 White Crystals entry fee, and the sect will feel like home to you."
"Hehe... no White Crystal."
Long Ke firmly refused.
"Suit yourself," Wen Ping turned and went to Medicine Mountain.
Long Ke headed to Churao Mountain instead.
Upon entering the Viewing Room, she immediately heard people talking inside.
"Elder Qingxuan, did you learn the Sect Leader’s Snake Skin Body Technique?" It was Elder Yun Liao speaking.
He just arrived at the Viewing Room, then heard Yang Lele and the others discussing this matter.
Having happened to encounter Zhantian Qingxuan, he asked just right.
Zhantian Qingxuan, watching the scene of disciples passing through the stone gate on the screen, responded, "I’ve got some shape of it. However... it’s still not as free and easy as the Sect Leader’s, but it’s sufficient."
Just as he finished speaking, Miao Yin from Wind Valley took the steps to leave.
Zhantian Qingxuan promptly stood up.
Together with Lin Kewu, they stood up as well.
Then both went to find Wen Ping, returning with high spirits.
The style was peculiar.
An elder and a disciple seemed to have the vibe of competitors.
"What’s up with them?"
Long Ke curiously watched the two descend from Churao Mountain.
Beside her, Yun Liao quickly answered, "Because the final contest is about to start, whoever can get the Fire Rod depends on this hour... by the way, I should ask the Sect Leader if the immersive area can be used."
Just watching isn’t satisfying.
Especially during the final contest moment.
