Chapter 1103: Chapter 1012: Targeting the Infiltrators
When Wen Ping returned to the Lifeless Tide, an unfamiliar face appeared at the top of the Lifeless Tide.
An unfamiliar woman.
However, the aura she emitted was undoubtedly that of a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted. Although not as profound and deep as Wudu’s, Wudu looked obsequious in her presence.
This person was the maid of the Shaving Realm Master, Celestial Industry—Xiao Yin.
"Miss Yin, what wind has brought you here?"
As for Jun Tianyi, he and his group didn’t even need to be mentioned.
Since Wudu was like this, the others who weren’t as noble as Wudu were even more humble.
"Miss Yin, I didn’t expect you to find the time to watch the battle amidst your busy schedule. It indeed adds much color to the Red Domain’s Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking."
Jun Tianyi smiled broadly, flattering her.
Xiao Yin remained expressionless, completely unlike her cute demeanor in front of Celestial Industry, and maintained a cold face despite their compliments and inquiries.
"I just came to take a look. Your Red Domain’s Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking has finally produced an extraordinary genius."
With that, Xiao Yin’s gaze fell upon Yun Liao.
Following her gaze, Wudu and Jun Tianyi immediately understood something.
The woman before them, being the closest maid to Celestial Industry, represented Celestial Industry’s presence by her status.
Just as Wudu had speculated, it was very likely that Celestial Industry had taken an interest in Yun Liao. Otherwise, why would a maid who rarely leaves her master’s side suddenly be here?
The two intended to mention Yun Liao a couple of times, but seeing Wen Ping return at this moment, their eyes immediately fell upon Wen Ping.
Jun Tianyi quickly introduced, "Miss Yin, this is Immortal Sect’s Sect Leader, Sect Leader Wen Ping, and below is Immortal Sect’s Elder, Yun Liao."
Once he finished speaking, Xiao Yin couldn’t help but scrutinize Wen Ping. Failing to discern Wen Ping’s realm, her eyebrows twitched slightly, deep in thought.
However, she quickly showed no extra emotions and simply said to Wen Ping, "Sect Leader Wen, you have quite the talent in your sect. To speak truthfully, my master intends to take him as a disciple!"
Upon hearing this, a look of realization appeared on the faces of those present on the Lifeless Tide.
Just as expected!
At this moment, everyone displayed envious gazes. After all, becoming the disciple of a Celestial Unrestricted expert would mean their future achievements could at least reach Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted. Moreover, given Yun Liao’s displayed abilities, his future achievements are certainly far beyond just Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted.
Amidst envious gazes, Wen Ping returned to his previous spot, simply replying calmly, "Then Yun Liao may have to decline Celestial Industry Divine General’s kind offer. He is an Elder of the Immortal Sect, and he will not leave the Immortal Sect."
"Sect Leader Wen, if Elder Yun Liao becomes Celestial Industry Divine General’s disciple, his future will be limitless, and the Immortal Sect could also rise to new heights." Xiao Yin thought she might not have been clear, leading this Immortal Sect leader to refuse on behalf of Yun Liao.
However, Wen Ping simply replied in a calm tone, "Many thanks for Celestial Industry Divine General’s kind offer."
It sounded like gratitude, but there was not the slightest bit of thankfulness.
It was clearly a refusal!
She had said it twice already, but this Immortal Sect leader still gave the same response—the answer was obvious.
This Immortal Sect leader didn’t want Yun Liao to leave the Immortal Sect!
Selfish!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yin’s expression turned cold, and she said sternly, "Sect Leader Wen should not decide for Yun Liao. Since my master has chosen him, no one can stop it!"
Her words carried a hint of warning.
Seeing this, Wudu, Jun Tianyi, and others, knowing the misunderstanding had deepened, quickly tried to mediate.
Wudu hurriedly said, "Miss Yin, Sect Leader Wen’s meaning is not what you think. There is also a Celestial Unrestricted expert behind the Immortal Sect. Elder Yun Liao, as an Elder of the Immortal Sect, is naturally under the guidance of that Celestial Unrestricted expert, so Elder Yun is unlikely to leave Immortal Sect."
Upon hearing Wudu’s explanation, Xiao Yin’s expression changed again, and when she looked at Wen Ping, it was entirely different from before.
"So that’s how it is!"
After realization, Xiao Yin said nothing more.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to say more, but she didn’t dare.
She believed Wudu wouldn’t deceive her. After all, Wudu was an inspector in the Primordial Yang Domain. So if she said a few more words, it might displease the Celestial Unrestricted expert behind the Immortal Sect. Although nothing bad would happen, she couldn’t avoid being blamed when she returned.
Now thinking about it, how could Yun Liao be this strong?
Turns out he was already being guided by a Celestial Unrestricted expert.
After Xiao Yin said nothing more, Wudu, Jun Tianyi, and others know how to steer the conversation toward other topics.
The two and Xiao Yin were old acquaintances, having not seen each other for nearly a century, so they had plenty to talk about.
At this moment, Wen Ping was releasing his spiritual power, then collided with the light shield covering the Lifeless Tide battlefield.
Bang—
The spiritual power hit a rare obstacle.
After all, it was crafted by 35 Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisans, so it must have some means to prevent perception.
Though it only lasted for a few moments, after a few heartbeats, Wen Ping’s spiritual power still pierced through the light shield, entering the Lifeless Tide battlefield.
After all, perception and spiritual power share the same root but are fundamentally different things.
As Wen Ping’s spiritual power swept across the thousands in the Lifeless Tide battlefield, his mind immediately gained a general understanding of the lurking operatives of the Zhetian Tower.
Among these thousands, there were about eighty operatives.
These eighty varied in strength, with some being in the Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression and others in the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression, even the Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm.
There were a total of three from Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm!
Though it’s unknown how they concealed their true realms, they did deceive the Lifeless Tide and Jun Tianyi and others.
Unfortunately, this method could deceive the Lifeless Tide, and Jun Tianyi’s perception, but it couldn’t fool his spiritual power.
Wen Ping thought, "Zhetian Tower’s preparation is indeed thorough. It seems this wasn’t prepared in just a day or two. The dignified Zhetian Tower Master plotting to nip the bud of You Country, truly without a bottom line, will do anything."
Dignified Celestial Unrestricted, yet so disgraceful, plotting to kill a group of young people.
However, these three Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm individuals, no matter where they are placed, would be insignificant.
But if placed in a battlefield like the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking, where even a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted is absent, it would undoubtedly be a disaster.
Especially in this battlefield covered by the Lifeless Tide Light Shield!
After the light shield blocked his spiritual power, Wen Ping specifically noted this shield’s defense, capable of withstanding a Celestial Unrestricted’s attack!
So this meant that a pack of powerful wolves was locked inside a pen filled with nothing but a herd of weak little sheep.
