"Subordinate pays respects to Sect Leader Wen."
Huaikong strode forward and knelt directly before the crowd.
Wen Ping responded with a smile, "Get up! Your precious daughter just finished preparing a table full of dishes. She knows you're coming and is quite happy. I asked her to prepare some wine; today we'll drink and chat."
"Sect Leader Wen."
Yang Lele's father followed suit and knelt as well.
"Stand up."
After speaking, Wen Ping gave He Nian a signal.
He Nian, just freed from the vines, hurriedly put away the Blood Axe and walked over to restrain Weisheng Xingyu.
To vent his anger, he threw a few punches at Weisheng Xingyu.
Fully binding Weisheng Xingyu, He Nian then sized up Huaikong.
Since Demon Gods are rarely seen in Heaven-Gazing Gorge.
"I guessed wrong; the Immortal Sect truly has more than one Earth Unrestricted Expert." He Nian was secretly shocked.
Thinking back now, Wen Ping kept him not because Wen Ping needed him.
For a sect with highly Earth Unrestricted Experts, why would they need him, a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted, to accompany them?
"Sect Leader, this subordinate will never let such a thing happen again!" Knowing he wasn't very important after all, He Nian was somewhat anxious.
Wen Ping said, "It's just minor matters."
"Release me!" Though Weisheng Xingyu was bound by He Nian, he still hadn't given up resisting, struggling continuously in He Nian's grip while shouting loudly.
Huaikong frowned; although he didn't know who the person in front of him was, the fact that they dared to shout and scream within the Immortal Sect was just giving him a chance to show off, wasn't it?
Huaikong decisively walked toward him.
The aura of a Demon God overwhelmed him, followed by a punch that sent Weisheng Xingyu flying harshly against the enormous pillar of the Main Hall.
Though Huaikong wasn't adept in strength, as a Demon God Level, he wasn't weak in this regard either.
With one punch, even without using Demon Power, Weisheng Xingyu, whose power was severely depleted, couldn't possibly withstand it.
Just one punch!
Weisheng Xingyu almost fainted.
Then, He Nian went over and grabbed him like a chick, "Sect Leader, should we seal his Meridian Gate?"
Wen Ping did not nod but coldly said to Weisheng Xingyu, "Weisheng Xingyu, if you want to leave the Immortal Sect, I won't stop you. But do you know how many resources I spent to save you? Although I didn't save you for repayment, there's no way I can let my efforts be in vain."
Wen Ping's cold eyes surged, his gaze mixed with formidable Spiritual Power enveloping Weisheng Xingyu.
Bang!
Once again, the fragile Weisheng Xingyu was knocked unconscious by Spiritual Power.
"Huaikong, seal his Meridian Gate."
"Yes!"
Huaikong immediately stepped forward to seal Weisheng Xingyu's Meridian Gate.
After sealing the Meridian Gate, He Nian was feeling delighted inside.
Unexpectedly, he got a chance to show off right upon arrival.
...
After the small interlude with Weisheng Xingyu, Wen Ping took Huaikong directly to Tingyu Pavilion.
The two drank wine and chatted leisurely.
When discussing the issue of the Demon Race and the Hundred Sects Alliance, Wen Ping gave Huaikong an instruction.
Wait for the opportunity.
Wait for a chance to counterattack against the Hundred Sects Alliance.
As for letting the Demon Race and Hundred Sects Alliance coexist peacefully, it's impossible since the hatred between them is already ingrained to the bone.
So, either the Demon Race thrives, or the Hundred Sects Alliance perishes.
"If you attack the Hundred Sects Alliance now, the forces behind them won't simply stand by. Even if you can overthrow the Hundred Sects Alliance, it'll require a huge cost, which is completely unnecessary."
After listening to Wen Ping, Huaikong nodded in agreement, resonating deeply with this idea, "Sect Leader Wen, that's what this subordinate thinks as well. The Demon Race doesn't need to pay such a huge cost; with the Demon Immortal inheritance you've bestowed, the Demon Race just needs some time for development, maybe ten or twenty years later, we should completely digest the Demon Immortal inheritance. By then, the Hundred Sects Alliance won't be a match for us."
"It's best you think this way, but if they invade, don't be timid. At the appropriate time, I will assist."
"Thank you, Sect Leader Wen!"
Huaikong was delighted.
Hearing Wen Ping's words greatly boosted his confidence.
"By the way, Sect Leader Wen, this is the gift this subordinate prepared for you these past few days. Moreover, I also checked the Three Lakes of the Demon Race; there are many White Crystal Ore deposits. By then, I will send those demons who once betrayed us to mine, surely extracting more White Crystal."
After speaking, Huaikong took out five fully filled Storage Rings.
