Chapter 299: 297. Walk? Walk where? (3/4) Nangong Wentian’s eyes suddenly showed fear, and then he quickly shouted at Wen Ping, "The people of Cangwu City are still in my hands... and your Immortal Sect people... They were transporting food when my people captured them... Release me, and I will release them... Sect Leader Wen, spare my life!"
He was truly afraid now!
He realized that he had greatly overestimated himself and underestimated this Flood Dragon.
This Flood Dragon was at least at the Divine Profound Upper Realm, if not higher!
Otherwise, how could a single roar cause him such harm? Just that roar, and his body now felt like a raging sea. If it wasn’t for his desire to survive supporting him, he truly didn’t know if he could still stand up. When he saw Wen Ping standing up from afar after he said this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"He is wearing clothes identical to yours!"
Nangong Wentian was secretly delighted in his heart; his backup plan was indeed coming in handy. Originally, he intended to use the Immortal Sect’s people as leverage. Now, it had clearly become his lifeline.
Wen Ping raised his hand and said, "Great Flood Dragon, stop!"
The Flood Dragon suddenly turned its head, not dissatisfied with this nickname, "Not kill him?"
Wen Ping responded, "I have questions to ask him."
"Ask away, I’ll eat him later," the Flood Dragon replied indifferently.
Wen Ping took a few steps forward to stand in front of Nangong Wentian and asked, "Release the people, and I will let you go."
"Sect Leader Wen, I’m sorry... They are currently in the hands of my subordinates... I don’t even know where they are, but if I don’t return soon... They will kill all those people and burn all the food." As he said this, Nangong Wentian’s heart nearly leaped into his throat, forcibly suppressing his pain while staring at Wen Ping.
He was gambling, betting that Wen Ping would not be so firm this time.
Betting that Wen Ping cared about the lives of his Sect’s people.
Simultaneously, he was also betting on his own life.
After a moment of silence, Wen Ping spoke, "I will give you a chance... I can let you go, but I need to see my people return within the time it takes an incense stick to burn, otherwise, you won’t be going anywhere."
"I promise!"
Nangong Wentian felt a surge of joy, then tentatively began to descend.
"Wait!"
"Sect Leader Wen wouldn’t..."
"I won’t go back on my word, leave your Storage Ring."
"Storage Ring..." Nangong Wentian’s brow trembled; his Storage Ring contained all his possessions. How could he give it up so easily? However, looking at the Flood Dragon, he obediently took off his Storage Ring. After handing it to Wen Ping, he quickly descended the mountain and rejoined his men.
The Giant Demon soared into the sky, carrying Nangong Wentian as he flew away from Cangwu City.
With his departure, Cangwu City was suddenly immersed in a wave of joy.
The enemy retreated!
Cangwu City was safe!
"Long live Sect Leader Wen!"
"I always said things would be alright."
Accompanied by their voices, Huan Cheng glanced at the people disappearing into the distance, a hint of confusion on his face. In his impression, Wen Ping was not someone who would let enemies leave like this, right?
At this moment, on Yun Lan, Hua Zixun and others exited the Main Hall.
But no one dared to speak.
Everyone watched the Flood Dragon, not even daring to breathe.
Then the Flood Dragon spoke, "You’re the one who said not to kill... Next time you wake me, remember to prepare some food."
"Hmm."
Wen Ping nodded.
The next moment, the Flood Dragon soared into the sky, returning to the dormitory area.
Only then did Hua Zixun and others dare to speak, express their inner surprise.
The Divine Profound Middle Realm is not a match for the Immortal Sect’s Guardian!
Truly astonishing!
No wonder Wen Ping was so calm from beginning to end, seemingly unconcerned with all this.
Elder Zhantian Qingxuan spoke after experiencing a surprise, "Sect Leader, just let him leave like that?"
"Leave? Where to go?"
Wen Ping glanced at the Storage Ring in his hand.
He left, how to open the Storage Ring?
Then Wen Ping continued, "Elders at the Profound Realm, come down the mountain with me."
"Yes!"
Zhantian Qingxuan and others quickly responded, all understanding Wen Ping’s intentions.
...
Sitting on the back of the Giant Demon at that moment, Nangong Wentian was silently lost in thoughts, and no one dared disturb him, fearing he would take out his anger on them.
