Weakest Peak
"Hey, isn't this our Yuan Cultivation Society's Extra Support?"
Among the explorers of the Yuan Cultivation Society, a man in his thirties with squinty eyes and a small braid greeted Luo Jun from afar.
"Jin Fei?"
Luo Jun looked at the man in front of him with some surprise. This guy was his teammate in the Miracle Chess Game before. He was a little resentful at the beginning of the mission, but after witnessing Luo Jun's feat of capturing eight pieces in a row and killing the old general, he was finally convinced.
"You still remember me!" Jin Fei said with a smile, "It's an honor."
Luo Jun frowned, turned off the translator, and asked in a low voice in Zhendan language, "You said I'm Extra Support, what exactly do you mean?"
Jin Fei smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "Do you really think the Yuan Cultivation Society would let an uncontrollable powerhouse like you swagger around like this?"
"Your true identity, your whereabouts during this period, and the method and purpose of your arrival here have long been thoroughly investigated by the association!"
Luo Jun narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at Jin Fei, but his expression remained calm.
At that moment, a notification sound just rang in his mind.
Although he was wearing a blindfold, Luo Jun could still feel Mu Ning scrutinizing him... However, compared to Song Yi's Divine Eye, this girl's gaze didn't have that penetrating, scanning quality. He wondered if the blindfold was some kind of suppressive device.
"I'm asking seriously, so please answer seriously!" Luo Jun pressed again, while simultaneously making a judgment in his mind.
"Night, you owe me a favor this time."
"Let me introduce you. Thousand-Mile Eye Mu Ning, is a master of the Insight Faction. As her nickname suggests, she can observe targets from extremely long distances, even ignoring obstacles. Not only can she see, but she can also hear! She and Divine Eye Song Yi, are known as the Twin Eyes of the Yuan Cultivation Society, and they are the most outstanding members of the Insight Faction in the entire Zhendan."
Jin Fei chuckled and said, "As soon as we got off the airship, Mu Ning sensed an unusual fluctuation coming from the church. She turned her gaze here and saw you and the bishop facing off... So we decided to play along and made a phone call."
"Ding! The event ' Obtain a Truthful Answer ' failed. You have gained one Experience Points!"
Luo Jun glanced at Mu Ning, thinking to himself, "This ability is so powerful. I wonder how long its range of use is... With such a radar nearby, there's simply no way to hide."
As he spoke, he pointed to a young girl behind him who was wearing an eye patch and had long black hair.
"You trust me that much?" Luo Jun looked at Jin Fei: "Aren't you afraid that I, an unofficial member, will join in and ruin your mission?"
"Event Difficulty: 72 points; Final Points: 91 + 5 points; Event Success."
Noticing that Luo Jun was looking at her, Mu Ning nodded to him without saying anything.
"I didn't lie to you about this..." Jin Fei sighed, "There wasn't even the slightest mental fluctuation. You're so emotionally stable!"
"You're also my savior," Jin Fei said with a smile. "Besides, what I said before wasn't entirely a lie; the Yuan Cultivation Society does indeed care about you."
"The Yuan Cultivation Society been established for decades, and you are not the first mysterious Rogue Cultivator. The association has investigated all the information about you, and the final assessment of you is that you are powerful, emotionally stable, morally sound, and tend to behave lawfully. Overall, you are relatively safe, and we can try to win you over."
Jin Fei whispered, "In other words, Yuan Cultivation Society really want to get to know you better, and this is an opportunity. Besides, everyone who came this time is a master, and they're all arrogant. Even if I told them how amazing you are, they might not be Qi Ingestion."
Luo Jun raised an eyebrow and turned to look at the remaining two people, a man and a woman. The man looked to be around thirty-four or thirty-five years old, with a slender figure, handsome features, and a refined demeanor. However, for some reason, Luo Jun felt a considerable sense of pressure just by looking at him. The woman was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, around 1.75 meters tall, with a lithe figure, a neat short haircut, and a sports vest under a short jacket, revealing a clear outline of her abdominal muscles. She was probably a Martial Combat Faction.
Jin Fei pointed to the short-haired woman. "This is Ma Lei, from the Elemental School, the Security Team of the Kansai Branch, and the three-time consecutive internal martial arts champion."
"Elemental School?" Luo Jun was quite surprised.
"You're wondering why I'm not Martial Combat Faction, aren't you?" Ma Lei sneered, clenching her fists bound with handbands. "Even without elemental power, I can beat up most Martial Combat Faction!"
"I can attest to that," Jin Fei laughed. "In hand-to-hand combat, I might not even be a match for Captain Ma."
As he spoke, he pointed to the last refined-looking man. "This one is even more of a heavyweight, the strongest of the younger generation of the Southwest Zhuge Family, the future head of the Zhuge Family, and Zhuge Chi, who is known as one of the Twin Pillars of the East and West alongside Ling Yao!"
Is it him?
Luo Jun was also somewhat surprised...
The Southwest Zhuge Family is also a Great Family in the cultivation world of Zhendan. Zhuge Chi is the eldest brother of the younger generation of the Zhuge Family. He is also the most talented and the strongest. He and Ling Yao of Lingyun Island are two rising stars who look up to each other from afar. For many years, they have been known Eastern Yao Western Chi.
Admittedly, just like Qiao Feng in the North and Murong Fu in the South, although both are strong individuals at the intermediate level of the younger generation, there are still gaps between them. Ling Yao is several years younger than Zhuge Chi, but he reached his Peak several years ago, and his strength has not stopped improving since then. In just a few years, he was crowned as the number Number One Under Ascension Realm.
As for Zhuge Chi, he only just entered the Peak realm this year. He lacks experience and his cultivation is still shallow. If Ling Yao is the strongest Peak, then he is the Weakest Peak.
Of course, while Murong Cheng of the South may not be as good as Qiao Feng of the North, he could still easily and happily take over the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands. Zhuge Chi was indeed inferior to Ling Yao Ling Yao, but that was all. Even the Weakest Peak was still Peak, and he was not someone that an ordinary Heart Refining Realm could easily mess with.
Aside from Dean Su Manchen, this was the first time Luo Jun had encountered a true Peak... Of course, Long Hui didn't count; he was just a Peak cub.
However, he felt that compared to Su Manchen, Zhuge Chi was more imposing and had a stronger aura!
But Luo Jun knew that reaching the Peak level didn't mean Zhuge Chi was stronger; on the contrary, it meant he lacked experience and couldn't control his aura well... but it was perfect for putting on a show.
"I've long admired your name." Luo Jun nodded indifferently, maintaining his aloof demeanor. Zhuge Chi smiled at him as well, "Likewise."
As they were talking, the Holy See members came out. Bishop Jacob was accompanied by Holy Knight Hank, but Sister Salina did not appear. Luo Jun hadn't held back when he arrested her, so she must have been injured.
"Bishop." Zhuge Chi stepped forward as a representative and shook hands with Jacob.
"You've finally arrived..." The bishop looked at Luo Jun: "I'm truly sorry, we didn't know this Mr. 'Night' was Extra Support from the Yuan Cultivation Society, which caused some misunderstanding..."
Luo Jun thought to himself that as the branch manager, he could be all smiles one minute and all smiles the next. In contrast, the Holy Knight next to him didn't have such a good temper, and his eyes still showed some dissatisfaction when he looked at Luo Jun.
"We arrived in a hurry and didn't notify you beforehand," Zhuge Chi said with a smile. "Moreover, Mr. 'Night' is an unofficial member, not bound by the Yuan Cultivation Society, and his style is somewhat unconventional. If he has offended you in any way, I apologize to the Yuan Cultivation Society Holy See..."
"You're too kind." Faced with a Peak- level figure bowing and apologizing, the bishop, despite being much older, felt somewhat awkward.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the bishop led the group into the church to discuss the next steps in the rescue plan.
