Chu Xingchen did not take Wukong to A Loving Family Peak, but went to Heavenly Derivation Peak instead.
Wukong was rather quiet along the way. Clearly, he did not quite understand Chu Xingchen's actions, which had also disrupted his entire plan.
He had paid a price to have someone draw Winter Melon's Divine Sense. At the very least, his whereabouts had been thoroughly exposed.
Chu Xingchen's defiant expression also settled into calm, and he said little along the way.
Members of the Heavenly Derivation Sect guarded the grounds outside its Main Hall, though there were not many of them. Most of the time, they were only responsible for delivering messages in person, and even then, they took turns standing guard.
After all, the Heavenly Derivation Sect's inner sect disciples were all exceptionally talented and steady in temperament. Assigning too many of them to miscellaneous chores would have been a sheer waste of resources.
There were few people on Heavenly Derivation Peak as a whole, and ordinarily, only Lü Xuan and Yan Yun were in the Main Hall.
Heavenly Derivation Peak had trained quite a few disciples in earlier days, but once Yan Yun had been confirmed as its core disciple, the others had all been transferred to other peaks to continue their cultivation.
Unless something important came up, the elders of the other peaks rarely visited either.
That was how things normally stood. In an emergency, however, Heavenly Derivation Peak became a bustling place.
Chu Xingchen's reputation might still not have carried far beyond Central Province, but within Central Province, he was already a recognized figure, and all the more so in the Heavenly Derivation Sect.
His face alone was enough. Without having to say much, Chu Xingchen brought a brand-new, gloomy-looking monk onto Heavenly Derivation Peak.
