Wei Heng's Shock, the Princess's Request

The Thorn Behemoth's voice grew lower and weaker.

His entire body swayed precariously.

Countless thorns fell.

The exposed skin surface also quickly withered away.

Finally, it crashed heavily to the ground.

Thus, a seventh-tier spirit beast died.

Throughout all of this, Chen Ning stood by, effortlessly slaying a spirit beast with the strength of an Earth Martial Realm Peak expert.

Wei Heng watched this scene from a short distance away.

They were dumbfounded.

He then regained consciousness, having been affected by the Setting Sun Sword Intent.

But he could no longer tell whether he was truly sober or not.

He witnessed firsthand how Young Master Chen, whom he had always ridiculed, easily killed the Thorn Behemoth.

Even Uncle Fu could only feel the urge to retreat when faced with such a giant beast.

He was killed by someone he had always mocked.

This is fucking exciting!

Wei Heng was completely devastated.

He had even previously mocked them, telling them they should be able to protect themselves and not bother trying to save them themselves?

Looking back now.

Each of those words felt like a slap in the face.

It was slapped onto Wei Heng's face.

He was so ashamed he wanted to disappear.

After dealing with the Thorn Behemoth and collecting its soul, Chen Ning turned back.

Halfway.

Wei Heng didn't even dare to meet his gaze.

He had always liked the princess and wanted to protect her silently, which is why he regarded the suddenly appearing Chen Ning as a thorn in his side.

But now.

The opponent was too strong.

He no longer had the courage to face Chen Ning.

However, Chen Ning had no time to notice Wei Heng's thoughts.

He took out a pot of pills and distributed them to the injured martial artists.

As long as there is a breath left.

He was able to save him.

After taking the medicine and resting for a short time, everyone's injuries began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

They all knelt down before Chen Ning, tears streaming down their faces:

"Thank you so much, Young Master Chen, for saving our lives! We are extremely grateful!"

"Thank you so much, Young Master Chen, for saving our lives! We are extremely grateful!"

"No need to be so polite, it's nothing."

Chen Ning smiled and took out another pill, tossing it to Wei Heng.

Although this guy is a bit arrogant, he is loyal to Bai Qingluo. Even though he knows he is no match for the Thorn Behemoth, he is still willing to fight to the death.

Moreover, he will be needed to lead the way for the rest of the journey.

Chen Ning was too lazy to bother with these things.

Wei Heng accepted the pill, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Then, he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Chen Ning and said, "I have offended you greatly before, and I hope you will forgive me, Young Master Chen."

"Hurry up and treat your injuries."

Chen Ning said nonchalantly.

Wei Heng stopped being coy and swallowed the pill to begin healing.

At this moment.

Bai Qingluo staggered over and knelt down in front of Chen Ning with a thud.

"Princess Bai, what's wrong with you...?"

Chen Ning quickly tried to help him up.

But Bai Qingluo stubbornly insisted on kneeling.

"Young Master Chen, I have a request, and I beg you to grant it."

"Stand up and speak."

Chen Ning couldn't bear it.

Bai Qingluo shook her head. "Now that Uncle Fu is dead, the man from Desolate Wind City will be furious if he finds out. The guards who accompanied me today will all die. And I no longer wish to serve him. I want to seize control of Desolate Wind City. Young Master Chen, I know you are a big shot, so I want to ask you for help."

The person she was referring to was, of course, her father, Bai Canglan.

Lord of Desolate Wind City.

Chen Ning didn't speak, he just looked at her.

But she saw unwavering determination in Bai Qingluo's eyes.

"Young Master Chen, I already owe you a favor, but for me, it's an even greater debt of gratitude—a debt of life-saving grace! However... I suppose I can never repay it. Your power is overwhelming; you have no use for me. But once I seize control of Desolate Wind City, I will be qualified to repay your debt of gratitude!"

"You're quite clever and quick-witted."

Chen Ning smiled and said, "Alright, I'll help you seize power."

Desolate Wind City is the largest city in Desolate Province.

If you can control it, it will also be very convenient.

Most importantly...

From the secrets explored by the First Generation.

This includes the things that the Crimson Firmament Sword Saint endured in his later years.

Chen Ning had a premonition that he would face something incredibly powerful and terrifying in the future.

So.

One more bit of strength.

One more bit of strength.

It's all for the best in the end.

Although the land of Desolate Province is barren, it still possesses boundless vitality.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingluo's eyes reddened as she said, "Thank you, Young Master Chen!"

"Don't thank me yet. If I help you seize power, this city will be under my command, and so will you. Are you willing?"

"I do."

Bai Qingluo made a decisive statement.

Chen Ning smiled and said, "But don't worry, I will only give orders when I need them. The rest of the time, you are the one in charge of Desolate Wind City."

Chen Ning's words implied that he was absolutely certain of success.

This gave Bai Qingluo even more confidence.

Furthermore, the trip to the Grey Wolf Tribe has become pointless.

But Bai Qingluo could still tell that Chen Ning wanted to go to the Grey Wolf Tribe.

It just lacks a proper name.

Therefore, my own team is the best choice.

The procession continued forward.

But this time...

However, it was not led by Wei Heng and Bai Qingluo.

Rather, it subtly implies a willingness to submit to Chen Ning as their master.

Especially after learning that Chen Ning had killed Uncle Fu.

Even more shocking.

He didn't have any specific feelings about seventh-tier spirit beasts yet.

Uncle Fu was arguably the strongest person he could directly perceive.

Even so, Young Master Chen could still kill him instantly.

It's hard to imagine how powerful and terrifying the opponent must be.

Therefore, Wei Heng consulted Chen Ning for advice on many decisions.

Extremely respectful.

Be cautious and meticulous.

This, on the contrary, made Chen Ning, who wanted a peaceful life, feel somewhat troubled.

Chen Ning couldn't help but want to retort, "I still prefer your rebellious side."

After crossing the Savage Lands.

Have a safe trip.

They never encountered any further danger.

With Chen Ning around, everyone's confidence was greatly boosted.

Wei Heng took the lead and cleared the way.

Finally.

The group arrived at a plain.

This place is the territory of the Grey Wolf Tribe.

The Grey Wolf Clan also belongs to the subhuman Human Race.

They look similar to people.

Its body possesses characteristics of both humans and wild animals.

Because they possess higher intelligence, their sense of order is similar to that of humans.

"Halt! Who are you?"

Two Grey Wolf Clan, wielding steel knives, blocked the group's path.

Wei Heng replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "We come from Desolate Wind City, and have come to congratulate your young prince on his coming-of-age ceremony."

"Hahaha, very good, very good."

The members of the Grey Wolf Tribe looked towards the back of the cart.

Seeing the overflowing gifts, he couldn't help but beam with joy.

They then let everyone pass.

The forces that came to the Grey Wolf Tribe this time were not only those from Desolate Wind City, but also some scattered demi- Human Race.

Lion-man.

Leopard Man.

Wild boar people and such.

Chen Ning became interested.

He kept looking around.

It felt like entering a zoo.

Previously, I only knew that Ling Xiaoxiao was a girl from the White Wolf Tribe, but Ling Xiaoxiao's only distinguishing feature was her two furry ears.

It's mostly cute.

Make up rua

But today was truly an eye-opening experience.

All sorts of weird and wonderful people can be found there.

It has a tail.

It has claws.

With scales.

Some of the features were so discordant that Chen Ning didn't want to look at them anymore.

Based on this comparison...

Chen Ning still preferred Ling Xiaoxiao.

"Our Xiaoxiao is still the prettiest."

Chen Ning gave a heartfelt exclamation of admiration.

Ling Xiaoxiao said coldly, "Master, I hate the atmosphere here."

Chen Ning gently rubbed her ear and said, "It's okay, we're here to cause trouble. We'll let you vent your anger later."

"Really?"

Ling Xiaoxiao's starry eyes lit up.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?"

Chen Ning was afraid that the other party would give her another pre-arranged kiss in front of so many people.

She quickly changed the subject, asking, "Princess Bai, when will the little prince's coming-of-age ceremony begin?"
