Chapter 761: 755, Prosperity for All (1/4) "So this guy is a hot potato?"
"That’s right!"
He Nian nodded.
He did not know how strong the Vortex Map was.
He couldn’t even imagine it.
Because the battlefield was just one of many within the Heaven-Gazing Gorge war grounds.
If the people from the Vortex Map knew the legend was true, that the creator of Vortex Map was indeed not dead, they would undoubtedly go to any lengths to bring back Weisheng Xingyu.
At the same time, they would eliminate all those who knew the truth.
As for the You Country on the Heaven-Gazing Gorge side, having disputed with the Vortex Map for years, they would certainly not let Weisheng Xingyu just return like that.
Because the abilities of Weisheng Xingyu were truly terrifying.
And this wasn’t just talking about strength, but also intelligence.
Several hundred years ago, You Country was all-powerful in the Heaven-Gazing Gorge, but Weisheng Xingyu managed to establish the Vortex Map and split the realm with them.
The difficulty of this was simply greater than climbing to heaven.
Yet Weisheng Xingyu achieved it.
At that time, the Vortex Map wasn’t as strong as it is now. If today’s unparalleled leader Weisheng Xingyu were to return to the Vortex Map and lead a force even stronger than You Country, the royal family of You Country would probably be frightened to death, so they would also do everything to prevent Weisheng Xingyu’s return.
Squeezed between the two giant powers, could the Immortal Sect curry favor?
However, Wen Ping merely smiled and said, "He still owes this Sect Leader a debt. He can only be sent away after repaying it. Until then, as long as he doesn’t leave the Immortal Sect, no one can sense him or that rebirth body of whatever. He Nian, put your mind at ease, watch him, and ensure he doesn’t escape."
"Understood," said He Nian, since Wen Ping was so resolute, He Nian didn’t want to continue speaking.
Talking too much would be annoying.
He believed that Wen Ping understood the danger within.
After He Nian turned and went to the Main Hall, Wen Ping looked back at Long Yue who was secretly following and asked, "Have you met Long Ke?"
"I have—"
Long Yue immediately froze as soon as she replied.
Then she suddenly understood, jumped up, and leaned in, saying, "So you always knew!"
"Hehe." Wen Ping smiled softly, neither nodding nor shaking his head.
Wen Ping felt that since he already came into contact with the Long Family, there was no need to pretend ignorance about Long Ke’s true identity.
Doing so was meaningless.
Once Long Yue knew the truth, she couldn’t stop talking, saying, "My sister always thought you didn’t know, kept calling her Elder Zhao and Elder Zhao. Yesterday when I saw her, she told me to pretend not to know her and follow suit calling her Elder Zhao..."
Wen Ping smiled and asked, "Besides this, did your sister say anything else?"
"No...just worried about home. She’s afraid Father and the others would find out about this. Because my sister originally said she was going to the battlefield to train. If Father and the others found out that she didn’t go to the battlefield and came here to help you instead, things would be really bad."
Wen Ping coldly said, "Bad? Hehe, when this Sect Leader sets foot on the land of Heaven-Gazing Gorge, they’ll know what real trouble looks like."
"Wen Ping, you don’t intend to start a war with the Long Family, do you?"
"War? I don’t have the time for that."
"Even if you had the time, it’s best not to start a war, because the Long Family is not just the Long Family. The waters in the Heaven-Gazing Gorge are deeper than you think. If something happened to you, wouldn’t my sister go mad?"
"Not simple is not simple then."
Wen Ping smiled, not caring about Long Yue’s warning.
"By the way, if you need healing, the celestial materials He Nian purchased can be made into spiritual cuisine by Huai Ye. Huai Ye can make decent spiritual cuisine."
"That little fellow Huai Ye is so capable?"
"She has a nickname, known as the God of Cooking."
"God of Cooking!"
Long Yue’s eyes rolled around, and then she laughed foolishly.
While chatting away, Yun Liao and others came over in a group.
"Sect Leader, there are some things we want to ask your opinion about."
"It’s not a small matter, and we’re not sure what to decide."
Wen Ping responded, "Speak."
Yun Liao said, "In the recent month, countless people have come to join the Sect, including young masters and ladies from major families. Do you think we should accept some? If we don’t accept anyone, the Immortal Sect might miss the chance to form alliances with many sects. Moreover, the people from Scattered Tavern are still in Cangwu City..."
"As for the Scattered Tavern, don’t worry about them, I’ve already met their Alliance Leader. Their Alliance Leader doesn’t intend for us to become a dependency. As for recruiting for the Immortal Sect, you can handle it yourselves, but not too many."
Wen Ping had never thought of expanding the number of disciples because cultivation resources were already tight before; adding more disciples would be counterproductive.
However, now with those White Crystal Ores from the Demon Race, expanding the Immortal Sect was no longer an issue, accepting more disciples was only natural.
Yun Liao nodded, "Should we open ten spots this time, Sect Leader, what do you think? There are a lot of exceptionally talented individuals in Cangwu City right now, we can select the best among them."
