Chen Ning's Decision, Old Acquaintances Meet!
Heavenly Venerable Zhu wanted Chen Ning to give him an answer.
Chen Ning simply watched Lü Xiaochuan quietly. Lü Xiaochuan seemed somewhat forlorn at the moment. Without Chen Ning piloting the Other Shore Immortal Ship, it would be a difficult task for him to even reach the foot of Two Mysterious Peaks alone.
Unexpectedly, Chen Ning immediately said, "Then let's go to that cemetery you mentioned under the Two Mysterious Peaks."
Upon hearing this statement...
Everyone was somewhat incredulous.
Lü Xiaochuan, in particular, thought he had misheard.
Therefore.
He was momentarily speechless, a strange light appearing in his eyes as he looked at Chen Ning.
Sui Qingshan also revealed a meaningful smile.
"Heavenly Venerable Zhu, I've saved him twice. I believe he wouldn't lie to me."
Chen Ning looked at Heavenly Venerable Zhu and offered an explanation.
Heavenly Venerable Zhu's voice was indifferent. "There's no need to explain to me. After all, this trip was led by you, and I was only ordered by the clan leader to protect your safety."
That's what I said.
But it's obvious.
Heavenly Venerable Zhu was displeased.
However, Chen Ning didn't care.
He trusted his intuition.
Moreover, the fact that Lü Xiaochuan was specifically mentioned in the secret pouch by the First-Generation Sect Master shows that he is a trustworthy person.
Even if I get scammed.
He also deceived the First-Generation Sect Master.
Speaking of which...
The First Generation guy was always quite arrogant. He was unparalleled in the Nine Provinces Realm, and even after reaching the Vast Land, he was promoted to god. Everyone praised him, and he was never looked down upon by anyone.
Unlike myself.
Wherever you go, you'll be ridiculed, and then you'll have to earn respect through your abilities.
The First Generation, on the other hand, had a smooth and successful run.
If someone were to be misjudged by him, it would be a Waterloo for this swindler ancestor.
After all.
It was this guy who fabricated the story about the secret treasure in the first place.
That's why I ended up taking on that mess.
He was constantly overwhelmed with problems, engaging in a battle of wits and courage with undercover agents from all sides.
Soon.
The Other Shore Immortal Ship arrived at the foot of the Two Mysterious Peaks.
This cemetery is not large.
Few evil spirits from this era can be buried here.
Those who can be buried here.
They are all great demons.
It poses a serious threat to all living beings in this Vast Land.
That's why the top leaders of the various God Clan are willing to take action.
None of the others are qualified.
In this cemetery, there are rows of stone tablets recording crimes, reinforced by layers of arrays to ensure that these evil spirits cannot be reborn and harm the world again, no matter what Secret Method they use.
But.
On the stone tablet.
Records about the crimes of demons occupy only a small portion of the text; the majority of the accounts focus on how the various God Clan wisely and powerfully slew these demons who plagued the world.
Lü Xiaochuan went straight to a stone tablet.
He knelt down silently.
Upon seeing this, Heavenly Venerable Zhu snorted coldly and then said to Chen Ning, "The air here is too polluted; I'll head back to the ship first."
He naturally disapproved of kneeling before evil spirits.
If you can't stand it but can't control it, you can only avoid it.
Chen Ning understood and nodded. Then, his gaze fell on the stone tablet in the very center of the cemetery.
The inscription on it reads:
[Eight-Armed Demon Venerable: Origin unknown, first appeared in Black Mountain Valley, possessed vast demonic power, harmed countless lives, and had power comparable to the Saint Venerable Realm. Later, he was suppressed by the combined forces of Eight Great God Clans and sealed beneath Two Mysterious Peaks.]
Next, the great achievements of the Eight Great God Clans are introduced.
Chen Ning lost interest in watching.
Heavenly Venerable Zhu hadn't gone far.
Then they heard a voice that was both strange and familiar.
Heavenly Venerable Zhu was slightly taken aback and looked at the newcomer.
The instant they saw each other.
His heart skipped a beat.
"Brother Zhu, how have you been?"
"You... you... why are you here?"
A flash of surprise crossed Heavenly Venerable Zhu's eyes, followed by a hint of doubt.
"You don't recognize me? We went to Heaven of Profound Understanding together back then."
You're already dead!
The Light Divine Mark appeared on Heavenly Venerable Zhu's body, showing no belief in the other party whatsoever. "You are nothing but an illusion. What are you? What kind of evil spirit are you that dares to block the path of this Saint Venerable?"
"Brother Zhu, back when we Heaven of Profound Understanding, we had a perfect understanding, and I even generously gave you many fortuitous opportunity. Have you forgotten all of that?"
"Demon, stop trying to play tricks! I will kill you now!"
Heavenly Venerable Zhu's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he was about to make a move.
However.
The next sentence from the person opposite him left him frozen in place.
"Brother Zhu, my daughter has become your disciple. I don't know if you feel guilty about it, but seeing her like this now makes me very happy. Even if you stood by and watched the Darkness God Clan kill me back then, I wouldn't blame you."
Upon hearing this statement...
The person's face was incredibly clear.
This image was deeply imprinted in Heavenly Venerable Zhu's heart.
This person.
He was Ji Hongyi's father.
The most outstanding divine son of the Light God Clan back then.
Later, in order to protect the World Origin, he was ambushed and killed by powerful members of the Darkness God Clan.
However.
What the world doesn't know is that when he was killed, Heavenly Venerable Zhu was also present, but he did not try to save him.
At that time, he had not yet achieved the Saint Venerable Realm.
He couldn't be absolutely certain of defeating those powerful members of the Darkness God Clan.
Certainly.
The most important point is...
At that time, he was consumed by evil thoughts. He was jealous of the other person, jealous of their talent, status, and even the many fortuitous opportunity he obtained during his training in the Heaven of Profound Understanding were given to him by the other person.
That arrogant attitude deeply stung him.
Therefore, Heavenly Venerable Zhu did not take action at that time.
But later...
This incident became a nightmare for Heavenly Venerable Zhu, making his cultivation extremely difficult. Later, his conscience bothered him, so he took Ji Hongyi as his disciple, which allowed his cultivation to get back on the right track.
