System's Super Sect-Chapter 646 - 643. Surrounded by people from the Hundred Sects Alliance, are you nervous?
Everyone knew that this old acquaintance was probably not simple.
The commotion of Bu Ling and his companions naturally attracted the Sect Leader of the Hidden Dragon Sect, who was Bainian Xiang’s father.
Consequently, everyone on the Wing Race Giant Demon moved toward Wen Ping.
Wen Ping was a bit bewildered by this scene, because when they first came up, they were chatting amongst themselves, not paying him any attention. Now, they were all gathering around him, examining him from head to toe.
Wen Ping noticed only one person.
It was the middle-aged man walking at the forefront, his aura at the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression.
The man’s body was somewhat bloated, estimated to be around two or three hundred pounds. But he wasn’t like other fat people at all; he exuded interest with every movement. Instead, he showcased a different kind of majestic power.
"System."
Wen Ping hurriedly summoned the system within his mind.
The system adeptly retrieved the brief information of the newcomer.
Bainian Hanshan
Age: 120 years
Realm: Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression
[Sect Leader of Hidden Dragon Sect, Father of Bainian Xiang, disciple of Immortal Sect]
...
There was some other simple information that Wen Ping directly ignored.
"So he’s Bainian Xiang’s father."
Wen Ping realized then; no wonder the man had such a strong presence.
Judging solely by feeling, Bainian Hanshan’s aura did not differ much from Situ Xiuneng, but judging from the aura, there was still a noticeable gap between him and Situ Xiuneng. To Wen Ping, he seemed to be on par with Yu Jiang.
Not quite comparable to those above, but still superior to those below.
"Master Zi Ran." Bainian Hanshan approached with a bright and loud laugh.
Zi Ran hurried to introduce Wen Ping, but didn’t reveal Wen Ping’s true identity.
"Sect Leader Bainian, this is the child of an old acquaintance of mine."
With Bu Ling and others’ friendly greetings, a trace of satisfaction appeared in Bainian Hanshan’s eyes.
"Master Zi Ran’s old acquaintance’s child is indeed extraordinary. At such a young age, he sees me, the Sect Leader, without a hint of shyness." Having traveled across lands and lived over a century, he’d met all kinds of people, no matter how strong a genius in the new ranking might be.
Those people, upon seeing him, would always display some shyness in their mannerism, even those who had seen a lot were inevitably timid.
"Sect Leader Bainian, pardon the intrusion." Wen Ping agreed with a slight smile.
Shy?
In the past, he would have been.
But now, he wouldn’t, because Bainian Hanshan wasn’t a towering "mountain" that he couldn’t reach.
"No need to be formal. How should I address you?"
"Wen Ping. Sect Leader Bainian may call me Sect Leader Wen. They are all my Sect’s disciples."
Saying this, Wen Ping also pointed to Huai Ye and the other two beside Bainian Xiang.
However, when everyone looked over, there was not much expression.
Because without using perception, Huai Ye and the others’ realm was clearly visible.
Lower Profound Realm.
Lower Profound Realm.
Middle Profound Realm.
Even though they had some talent, it wasn’t remarkable within Hidden Dragon Sect.
"So it’s Sect Leader Wen."
"Hmm?"
Seeing Bainian Hanshan’s pretend friendly expression, Wen Ping was a bit confused.
Bainian Xiang hadn’t told her father about joining the Immortal Sect?
But on second thought, it made sense. Hidden Dragon Sect was a sect in the Hundred Sects Alliance’s fold, and Immortal Sect was currently an enemy of the Hundred Sects Alliance.
How was Bainian Xiang supposed to explain that?
As he was pondering, Bainian Hanshan spoke again, "From where does Sect Leader Wen hail?"
This was getting to the bottom of things, wasn’t it?
Wen Ping had no interest in answering such probing questions.
So he casually replied, "From East Lake."
"East Lake?"
Bainian Hanshan paused.
Bu Ling and the others were also taken aback.
East Lake? 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
In Heaven and Earth Lake, one of the several barren lands. There, not even a Three-star Influence could emerge.
Bu Ling and others immediately understood.
It turned out Zi Ran was extending goodwill by inviting him, rather than inviting someone with a notable background.
With this realization, their interest in befriending Wen Ping dissipated.
At this moment, the Wing Race Giant Demon suddenly let out a cry, and everyone turned to look behind.
Below, a seemingly boundless city appeared before their eyes.
Even from a thousand-meter altitude, it was impossible to see the other side of this city.
After gazing for a couple of times, Bainian Hanshan turned back and said to Wen Ping, "Vast City is coming up, Sect Leader Wen, we shall meet again if destined."
Wen Ping nodded.
Right now, all he could think of was Bainian Hanshan’s reaction once he knew his daughter joined an enemy sect.
Putting aside his thoughts, the giant eagle began to descend.
Regarding Vast City, Wen Ping wasn’t particularly moved.
The only things that could stir him were the myriad of demons in the sky, the powerful influences one after another, and finally the snow-covered houses. Other than that, there was nothing much for Wen Ping to appreciate.
After all, in the previous world, even a random big city would span dozens of miles. Not to mention larger cities that sprawled for hundreds of miles. Vast City, by comparison, was not quite as impressive.
"Sect Leader, this place is full of people from the Hundred Sects Alliance." Huai Ye whispered beside him at this time.
Wen Ping responded with a smile, expressing no anxiety at all.
After landing in the city, Wen Ping stuck close to the Hidden Dragon Sect members. Of course, he was following Zi Ran at the front.
He wasn’t one of the Hidden Dragon Sect.
It was just because Zi Ran needed to deal with those from the Hidden Dragon Sect, thus putting some distance between them.
This led the Hidden Dragon Sect people to think Wen Ping was following them. Although they no longer had an intention to befriend him, courtesy still led them to make an offer, "Sect Leader Wen, would you like to join us in settling in?"
"Certainly! Thanks."
As Wen Ping agreed, Bu Ling’s eyebrow twitched sharply, before squeezing out a faint smile.
"Then please stay with us, Sect Leader Wen."
"Alright."
Wen Ping nodded again.
Bu Ling’s face twitched once more.
This Wen Ping really had thick skin.
Couldn’t he pick up that those were polite words?
And Bu Ling found it hard to understand why Wen Ping didn’t seem to have self-awareness. Zi Ran invited him to travel together, but not to constantly follow. Now, upon entering the city, continuing to stick close behind—what’s his intention?
After walking a while, the number of pedestrians ahead gradually decreased. Almost everyone passing by were experts in the Mountain Suppression Realm.
Walking a bit further forward, they arrived at the accommodation.
Hidden Dragon Sect, being a Four-star Giant Influence, had the privilege to reside in this Inn, making both the Innkeeper and members of the Hundred Sects Alliance hastily come out to welcome them. While they were conversing with the people from the Hundred Sects Alliance, Wen Ping noticed someone.
A young woman was coming from another intersection.
Her long hair fluttered, and the feeling she evoked was somewhat familiar.
"Isn’t this the woman who warned me of bandits up ahead?" Wen Ping watched her, instinctively pausing.
Of course, Wen Ping appreciated not her beauty.
But her realm.
Upper Profound Realm!
Though he hadn’t used the system to view her brief information, Wen Ping could determine her age was at most only 22.
Beside her, there were several equally outstanding men and women.
"Senior Sister! Senior Brother!"
Bainian Xiang hurriedly waved at them.
Those people, seeing Bainian Xiang arrived, quickened their pace.
Because they were tasked with securing accommodations, already arranged, thus needing to report back.
However, as the long-haired woman approached Wen Ping, she stared at him and suddenly exclaimed, "You’re the ones... the bandits from the snow plains!"
Her shout startled Bu Ling and others who were about to usher Bainian Xiang into the Inn.
Following her gaze, they looked at Wen Ping.
