Long Ye raised his blade once more.
Then stopped again just an inch from He Nian’s neck.
This time, it wasn’t Long Ye himself who stopped, but the Condemner clenched the knife with one hand.
Long Ye was startled, and as soon as his gaze met the Condemner’s, he broke out in a cold sweat.
From behind, Wen Ping’s voice came through.
"Then why not stay at Heaven and Earth Lake, how about it?"
He Nian slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the tall Condemner beside him, swallowed hard, and then looked at Wen Ping walking towards him.
He didn’t know who Wen Ping was.
But the mysterious black-winged man beside him, who obeyed Wen Ping and whose power could crush an Earth Unrestricted Expert, was enough to prove Wen Ping’s extraordinariness.
"Just dying like this, I believe you wouldn’t be satisfied." Wen Ping was very clear, if He Nian wished to die, how could there be so much reluctance in his words just now?
Although He Nian had been his enemy for a while before and even almost harmed his father.
But in the end, He Nian’s actions were out of ignorance.
Letting He Nian just die under Long Ye’s knife would be a pity, thought Wen Ping.
The talent is excellent, very loyal too.
He just followed the wrong person.
Before He Nian could respond, Wen Ping continued, "Follow me, I can give you an opportunity to realize your self-worth, even open the Fourth Meridian Gate for you, giving you the chance to step into Earth Unrestricted. However, you better listen carefully, I will only give you this chance once."
"Hesitation will lead to missed opportunities."
"A nod could be the start of something new."
After a few words, Wen Ping walked up to He Nian.
With just a glance, the Condemner reached out his hand to He Nian, and with a pat on his back, the three Meridian Gates sealed by Tian Mu sprang open.
Power returned to his body, which was supposed to be a cause for celebration, but He Nian was stunned.
After a brief silence, seeing Wen Ping turn to leave, He Nian hurriedly nodded, "I agree with you!"
It wasn’t that Wen Ping’s words moved him.
He Nian just felt that Wen Ping’s gaze was filled with certainty, something unseen in others’ eyes.
Following someone like that might lead to great achievements!
Even if not, it’s just dying once more.
A bit sooner or later doesn’t make much difference.
Of course, most significantly, he also longs to step into Earth Unrestricted, possessing power like the mysterious black-winged expert beside him.
"Since you’ve chosen to follow this Sect Leader, let me say upfront, although I won’t use you as expendable pawn, if you do anything to harm the Immortal Sect, I will make you wish for neither life nor death." Of course, Wen Ping wasn’t afraid of him doing harm to the Immortal Sect, since everything inside the Sect is derived from the system, which will naturally protect them. Saying this merely intended to inform him of the consequences.
As a Sect Leader, it’s essential to show some authority.
Currently, He Nian doesn’t respect him, so Wen Ping intends to make He Nian fear, one way or another, either is what Wen Ping wants to see.
Upon He Nian nodding vehemently and swearing, Wen Ping intended to find the Demon Race to fulfill the true plan for coming to Demon Emperor Lake, "Follow me."
He Nian hurriedly followed in Wen Ping’s steps.
At that moment, Long Ye suddenly came over and whispered something in Wen Ping’s ear.
Wen Ping was taken aback and said, "Are you serious?"
"Of course I’m serious. Regarding Long Yue, her desire for cultivation is average; she just loves to roam around and play, so why not let her wander at Heaven and Earth Lake for a while. Mainly because she’s seen as a treasure by my father and them, they give countless reminders when she goes out with me. Now that she’s so heavily injured, if they see her upon return, I will surely get into trouble; better to leave her with you for a while to recover."
Long Ye immediately glanced at He Nian next to him.
A bit of irritation arose within him.
Long Ye loudly said, "He Nian, I’m telling you, when you see my sister in the future, you must apologize until she forgives you, and you must cover all her medical expenses!"
He Nian gave a helpless smile and nodded.
"Sounds about right." Long Ye nodded slightly in satisfaction, then looked at Wen Ping beside him, "Sect Leader Wen, for your father Wen Yan, I will surely take good care of him, ensuring nobody can harm him even a strand of hair, and considerably ensuring his identity remains unknown upon arriving at the Long Family, also striving to halt my father’s plan of marrying off my sister upon returning home!"
"Alright, then leave her here."
Originally, Wen Ping didn’t want to keep Long Yue, but upon hearing Long Ye promise to help his parents, he reconsidered and nodded.
He was powerless to change the Long Family’s will, with Long Ye’s assistance, the pressure on his mother at home would undoubtedly lessen greatly.
Wen Ping pondered for a while, then continued, "Take good care of them both. Before long, I will visit Heaven-Gazing Gorge, and if they live well, I can offer you a chance to step into Earth Unrestricted, sparing you from decades of painstaking cultivation."
"Really!"
Long Ye was thrilled.
Wen Ping was surrounded by so much unknown; thus, he didn’t doubt Wen Ping deceiving him.
Wen Ping said, "Certainly, if I see what I wish to after visiting Heaven-Gazing Gorge, then proceed alongside your Blood Axe."
"Naturally."
Long Ye promptly nodded.
Then, instinctively glanced at his body.
Almost forgot, there was a blaze in his body.
At this moment, Wen Ping suddenly asked, "The Demon Race is coming over, all this started because of you, do you want to leave or stay?"
