”I understand. I will be there when the time comes. When exactly?” Chen Fei asked, looking at Zhen Jingkong after listening.

”Two and a half years later!” Zhen Jingkong replied, his expression becoming solemn as he murmured, ”In these two and a half years, I need to advance further and break through to become a Three-Star Formation Master... not sure if there’s enough time.”

”You’re not at the Three-Star Formation Master level yet?” Chen Fei asked, startled.

”No, not yet. But I’m seeing some progress, so if I push myself, I should make it in time,” Zhen Jingkong said firmly, a determined look appearing on his face.

”Is that so?” Chen Fei touched his chin, took out a very old jade slip, and handed it to him. ”Take this.”

”What is this... hiss!” Zhen Jingkong took it casually, his Divine Sense probing into it, and instantly his expression changed, taking a deep breath as he raised his head to stare at Chen Fei.

”I came across it by chance. Perhaps you are more suited for it than I am,” Chen Fei said calmly, glancing at the jade slip. It was a Grandmaster of Formation legacy he obtained from the remnants of the Heavenly Origin Sect and the residual soul of the Yee Hua Pill King. Indeed, Zhen Jingkong seemed more suited for it...

”I, this...” Zhen Jingkong was in a stupor, then took a deep breath and said, ”This is too precious, I cannot accept it.”

”It’s fine, take it.” Chen Fei interrupted him with a smile. ”If it weren’t for you back then, I might not have survived to this day. Besides, this thing doesn’t hold that much value to me. On the contrary, it should be more suitable for you, right?”

Hearing Chen Fei’s words, Zhen Jingkong fell silent.

After a long while, Zhen Jingkong nodded and said, ”Alright then, I’ll accept it. Rest assured, I will never reveal its contents, even in death.”

Chen Fei nodded with a smile, acknowledging without a comment. Then, Zhen Jingkong and others bid him farewell.

”Husband, where shall we go now?” After Zhen Jingkong and the Big Dipper Star Sect members left, Pei Wanning asked.

”We can go wherever you want.” Chen Fei smiled warmly, holding Pei Wanning as they descended the mountain. Then, his eyes narrowed dangerously. ”Or should I avenge you once more?”

Though the Spear-wielding War King was dead, the Flower God Sect was indeed involved in the previous incident. Letting them off so easily would be too lenient, wouldn’t it?

Pei Wanning was initially startled but then shook her head and said, ”No... let’s forget about it. Actually, the sect has been quite good to me these past years. Without its help, I wouldn’t have reached my current Cultivation Realm.”

She was referring to her current Minor Heavenly True Monarch Realm. After all, True Monarch Realm experts weren’t just growing on trees; without genuine cultivation strength, such prowess couldn’t be achieved.

Her current realm and strength owed at least seventy percent to the Flower God Sect.

So in reality, on a personal level, her resentment towards the Flower God Sect wasn’t that significant.

But Chen Fei thought otherwise. He shrugged and said, ”I don’t care. They shouldn’t get off so lightly...”

At this moment, deep within the Flower God Sect, on a mountain outside a mountain, beneath a cliff shrouded with dense Spiritual Energy, stood the current Sect Master Night Ghost Granny, protector Elder Nine Wild Serpent Madam Dragon Grandson, Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang, and others, some of whom looked a bit uneasy.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, spiritual light cascaded down from the cliff, shining brilliantly. An elderly figure stepped gracefully from within, and everyone showed a respectful expression, speaking in unison.

”Greetings, Ancestor!”

The elderly figure stepped onto the ground a few meters from the crowd, revealing a rather ordinary old woman leaning on a cane.

Yet it was precisely her plain and unremarkable appearance that highlighted her extraordinary aura at this moment.

”Hmm.” The old woman’s indifferent gaze swept over everyone, then looked at Night Ghost Granny among them and asked, ”How are things outside?”

Everyone’s expressions froze. After hesitating for quite some time, Night Ghost Granny finally stepped forward slowly and said, ”To report to Ancestor, we misjudged this time. The Spear-wielding War King not only lost but also died.”

”Oh?” The old woman showed a surprised look and then spoke淡ly, ”Recap what happened.”

”Yes.” Night Ghost Granny’s face turned unpleasant, but she still forced herself to recount what she had witnessed during the battle, paying particular attention to the entrance of the Mystic Soul King and others from the Heaven-Pillar Hall.

”Could that person be from the Heaven-Pillar Hall? The Mystic Soul King actually came too?”

The old woman’s eyes flashed with amazement, then she nodded and fell into silence. After a while, she suddenly said to Night Ghost Granny, ”Put your tasks on hold. The Demon Territory Mountain isn’t quiet lately. Go oversee it for a while, and don’t let our Flower God Sect become a laughingstock among other forces.”

”What?!” Night Ghost Granny’s entire body tensed upon hearing this. Overseeing the Demon Territory Mountain for a while—this was clearly a way to suggest she step down from the Sect Master position, wasn’t it?

”What, do you have a problem?” The old woman glanced briefly at Night Ghost Granny, who immediately felt as if plunged into an icehouse, her whole body trembling, her face paling...

”I dare not.” After a long time, Night Ghost Granny, like a deflated balloon, nodded with a countenance of despair.

”And you.” The old woman’s gaze then turned to Nine Wild Serpent Madam Dragon Grandson, and淡ly said, ”The Forbidden Area Barren Mountain Mine could use an extra hand lately. I think you’re quite suitable. What do you think?”

Upon hearing the words, the Nine Wild Serpent Madam stiffened all over, then she sighed lightly and said, ”I have no objections... I’ll follow the instructions of you, our ancestor.” The other party is truly the one who calls the shots in our Flower God Sect; otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for a single word to have the Night Ghost Granny relieved from her position as Sect Master.

By comparison, the arrangements for her as a protector elder were naturally even less consequential.

Moreover, this matter originated from her. If she hadn’t chosen Pei Wanning as the Saintess, things wouldn’t be as dire as they are now. A powerful figure capable of killing the Spear-wielding War King harbors hostility towards the Flower God Sect; if pressed, both she and the Night Ghost Granny would be dead without remorse.

”Very well.” The old woman nodded slightly, now calm, and said slowly, ”If there are no objections, let’s go now.”

”Yes.” The Night Ghost Granny and the Dragon Grandson of Nine Wild Serpent Madam both seemed to have aged ten years, bending over as they nodded, then turned around desolately and departed.

The others witnessing their departing figures had somewhat complex expressions, yet none dared speak more at this moment. One, because someone genuinely needed to take responsibility for the matter, and second, because the decision was made by the Lone Emotion Ancestor of their Flower God Sect!

The Flower God Sect has two peak Mystic Heaven Position figures: one is the oldest, also the most ancient Supreme Great Elder, and the other is the person before them now, the Lone Emotion Ancestor!

This is the invincible existence below the Ancient King of Supreme Heavenly Position at the peak of Mystic Heaven Position, is it not?

At least, none of them had the slightest capital to doubt.

”Xiao Qiang, you will temporarily assume the position of the Sect Master.” Then the Lone Emotion Ancestor looked towards the Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang and said.

The latter was slightly startled, then immediately nodded and said, ”Yes, Ancestor.”

”Additionally, prepare a grand gift to send to the one who killed the Spear-wielding War King...” The Lone Emotion Ancestor’s deep eyes flashed, and he further said, ”Forget it, also send him an invitation. Three months later, on the seventh day of the seventh month, I, Lone Emotion, invite him to attend the Yao Heart Fruit Banquet.”

”Yao Heart Fruit Banquet? Ancestor, is it necessary?!” The crowd was taken aback and exclaimed.

”The fact that he can kill the Spear-wielding War King means he has enough merit, even without identity or background. Besides, don’t forget he seems to be somewhat entangled with the Heaven-Pillar Hall...” The Lone Emotion Ancestor’s eyes flickered, and he said calmly, ”Recently, the Inner Region has been quite turbulent. For security’s sake, it’s better to keep things stable.”

”Understood, Ancestor,” Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang nodded and replied.

Indeed, recently the Inner Region first had the internal strife in the Polar Demon Palace, which stirred up people, and now some development unknown from the Wang Clan emerged as the Heavenly Origin Dynasty — things are truly getting more chaotic. In this situation, it’s better for their Flower God Sect to be cautious.

”Disperse.” The Lone Emotion Ancestor turned and left, and everyone followed suit and departed.

A few days later, Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang found Pei Wanning.

”Lord Xiao Qiang, why have you come?” Pei Wanning was still somewhat shadowed by the past, feeling uneasy upon seeing the other party.

”I’ve come to see Lord Chen Wang. Wanning, is Lord Chen Wang currently?” Even Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang dared not act as they did before, wearing a full smile as she spoke.

”He’s still cultivating. Is there something you need?” Pei Wanning asked cautiously.

”Nothing important, just here to apologize,” Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang said.

”Apologize?” Pei Wanning was taken aback.

At this time, a figure emerged from the courtyard behind Pei Wanning.

”Looking for me?” Seeing Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang standing with Pei Wanning, Chen Fei was briefly startled, then understood the other party was indeed here for him.

”Greetings, Lord Chen Wang.” Upon seeing Chen Fei, Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang’s heart tightened slightly, quickly saluting.

Chen Fei cast a glance at her and said, ”Come with me.”

Then Chen Fei led her to the courtyard of his residence, pointed to a chair in the backyard, and said, ”Sit.”

Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang dared not be so casual. She waited until Chen Fei sat down before she slowly seated herself and took out the ’sincerity’ prepared by the Flower God Sect over the past few days, saying.

”Lord Chen Wang, sorry for the misunderstanding between us earlier; this is a small token of sincerity, though insubstantial.”

Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang’s words made Chen Fei’s face show a hint of surprise. He accepted the ’sincerity’ and looked at it; his eyes narrowed further, and he said, ”Your Flower God Sect is indeed so generous? These items are certainly valuable.”

”It should be, it should be...” Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang paused, then said, ”Additionally, Night Sect Master and Elder Longsun have now been reassigned to the Demon Territory Mountain and Forbidden Area Barren Mountain Mine areas. This was at the behest of our sect’s Lone Emotion Ancestor.”

”What?” Pei Wanning was left stunned.

Chen Fei’s eyes also slightly narrowed upon hearing this, wondering if the Flower God Sect realized he might cause trouble and preemptively acted to placate him?

”Also, this is the invitation from the Lone Emotion Ancestor of our Flower God Sect for Lord Chen Wang. Three months later, on the seventh day of the seventh month, the Lone Emotion Ancestor hopes to invite you to the ’Yao Heart Fruit Banquet’...” Flower Venerable Xiao Qiang presented an invitation card respectfully to Chen Fei.
