Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 77 Miss, Please Wait

As the grand event approached, more and more young people stepped into the Ancient City, with only one topic and purpose for discussion: "The Boundary Monument has shown fluctuations."

That day, Chen Pingping received the news and couldn’t help but be startled. "The Boundary Monument?"

Eight Treasures Chicken became solemn. "It’s a terrifying place. I do not recommend you go there."

"How terrible?" Chen Pingping asked.

"Ten die with no survivors," Eight Treasures Chicken spoke.

"Great, let’s go together!" Chen Pingping smiled.

Previously, Eight Treasures Chicken had always been the one fooling him. Chen Pingping had thought the chicken feared nothing, but it turned out to be terrified of the Boundary Monument’s location.

Chen Pingping couldn’t help but laugh. "Don’t you want a Great Opportunity?"

Eight Treasures Chicken turned pale and trembled, seemingly recalling something.

WOOF WOOF WOOF!

Hei, the little black dog, was as excited as ever, as if the word "danger" didn’t exist in its eyes.

But then again, what’s the problem with the Boundary Monument?

Chen Pingping was puzzled. "If it’s a Life Prohibited Zone, why would Jin Qiongyu call together so many young people for a meeting? Is she out of her mind?"

"Human Clan cultivators can say what they want, but why insult people?" Jin Qiongyu was thoroughly fed up.

"What does it have to do with you?" Chen Pingping gave a sidelong glance, saying, "You need to understand your position. You are my hostage now, and your life is in my hands."

"..."

Curse it!

The ignorant Human Clan.

Jin Qiongyu had already begun to fantasize about catching Chen Pingping, subjecting him to all sorts of brutal torture, hanging him up, and then pouring the five grains reincarnation things over him.

"Indeed, geniuses all have water in their brains," Chen Pingping nodded. "Places like the Boundary Monument, even if something appears, so what if they discuss it? Would they dare to enter? Ha... Only I, Chen, have the courage."

Eight Treasures Chicken remained silent.

Deep within the clan.

Huo Yan relentlessly pressured the maid, employing threats, temptations, and brutal torture. He even threatened to strip her naked, throw her out, and restrain her actions and cultivation level, letting everyone witness the spectacle.

Finally, the maid couldn’t hold out any longer and tearfully revealed Jin Qiongyu’s plans.

So that’s how it is!

Huo Yan momentarily breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Jin Qiongyu and Chen Pingping didn’t know each other, it meant there was no collusion between them.

She had been coerced.

She couldn’t possibly fall for a member of the Human Clan.

In that case, this young master will help you out!

He narrowed his eyes, saying, "Pass down my orders: lower security during the event, pretend not to recognize the Young Lady if you see her, and also..."

Since Jin Qiongyu’s target was Chen Pingping, Huo Yan was determined to help. Not only did he lower the guard, but he also arranged for many powerful individuals to stand watch around the ancestral grounds.

The moment Chen Pingping showed up, Huo Yan would suppress him immediately and then hand him over to Jin Qiongyu for handling.

The maid trembled, her eyes wide with terror as she watched Huo Yan’s departing figure. It was as if she was seeing this "Young Master" for the first time; she was terrified.

She knew she had exposed her Young Lady’s plan and desperately needed to find a way to warn her.

But... where is the Young Lady?

It wasn’t until the day of the grand event, within the throng of people coming and going, that the maid saw her Young Lady walking with an unfamiliar man.

He was currently blue.

Her Young Lady was also in disguise, but the maid recognized her instantly.

She wanted to approach but feared ruining her Young Lady’s cover. So, she could only fret in secret until an opportunity arose.

"Young Lady, I... Mr. Huo Yan forced me! I’m so sorry, I told him everything about your plans," the maid whispered, sobbing.

Hmm?

Jin Qiongyu furrowed her brows. "What did he do to you?"

"Nothing." The maid didn’t dare say more, shaking her head desperately. But the raw fear and panic in her eyes couldn’t deceive Jin Qiongyu.

Damn it!

Jin Qiongyu revealed her anger and said, "Fine, I understand. Go and attend to the guests now."

A sense of unease filled her heart, identical to the one she felt sitting atop the high mountain that day. She always felt like Huo Yan was pushing the Fire Tribe toward destruction.

I can’t let him go there.

I can’t let Chen Pingping fall into Huo Yan’s hands.

This guy... he’s extraordinary.

Jin Qiongyu took a deep breath and turned around... but Chen Pingping was gone.

Where was he?

Panic flared as she searched everywhere, but to no avail.

Could it be?

This is bad!

Only then did Jin Qiongyu remember: Chen Pingping’s team included an Earth Chicken that had once infiltrated the Fire Tribe’s ancestral land. It knew every brick and tile there.

It wouldn’t need her to lead the way at all.

But Huo Yan had stationed powerful experts around the ancestral land. It was a trap—a terrible conspiracy.

Anxiety gnawed at her.

Jin Qiongyu could hold back no longer and strode forward decisively.

Just as she suspected, no one intercepted Chen Pingping, nor did anyone stop her. This was all due to Huo Yan’s arrangements.

Eight Treasures Chicken couldn’t help but sigh. "A grand event that makes the entire Wilderness tribe lower their guard. Hehe, truly a rare opportunity."

Chen Pingping, by his side, didn’t agree. He felt things weren’t that simple; after all, it was an Emperor Clan. How could they relinquish basic vigilance?

As I’ve walked this far, has no one really sensed my presence?

Something is definitely off.

Chen Pingping stopped in his tracks and looked around.

The depths of the Fire Tribe’s territory concealed a dense forest with overlapping mountains and steep paths. Trees were plentiful, and even the vines were incredibly thick, snaking through the mountains.

It’s too quiet.

Eight Treasures Chicken said, "Big Brother, no need to be so tense. The Emperor Clan members are all at the grand event!"

Really?

Chen Pingping asked, "A grand event for the youth, and the older generation is also interested in attending?"

The moment he said this, Eight Treasures Chicken froze. He’s right... A gathering for the younger generation—what does it have to do with the powerful elders?

Nothing!

Yet their journey so far had been eerily peaceful, without a single soul in sight.

But having come this far, Chen Pingping felt he had no choice but to press on, despite his misgivings.

Jin Qiongyu, who had followed, was quickly intercepted. Several tribe members approached, saying, "Young Lady, please go no further."

"You want to stop me?" Jin Qiongyu was furious.

Insight... whether true or false, no one could say for certain, not even she.

But at that moment, the unease in her heart was extremely strong. She felt that Chen Pingping was that key individual, and she could not let him become an adversary to the Emperor Clan.

But now, she couldn’t reach Chen Pingping.

Huo Yan had ordered his men to guard this place, effectively stopping her.

Jin Qiongyu’s expression turned grim. "I want to see Huo Yan."

"Mr. Huo Yan is busy," the man replied.

"The man from the Human Clan who just went in is not ordinary. I’ll say it again, I want to see Huo Yan! If he dares to act rashly, and something happens to the Fire Tribe in the future, he will be the betrayer of the Fire Tribe!" Jin Qiongyu said coldly.

Heh! The men remained unmoved, thinking to themselves, Just a mere Human Clan cultivator. Does he think he can enter the Fire Tribe’s territory and expect to leave alive?

Jin Qiongyu angrily demanded, "Let me in!"

"Young Lady, I am under orders to guard this post. No one can pass. Please don’t make this difficult for me," the man said. "Besides, with your current strength, you cannot defeat me."

"Damn it!" Jin Qiongyu roared. "You are trying to destroy the Fire Tribe! Both you and Huo Yan will be its betrayers! You will regret this!"
