Chapter 28 You and I will have a match
According to the rules of Jingtianmen, good talents discovered in various places are first selected by the local town lords, and the rest can be sent to higher-level or other town lords.
Since Zhang Ping passed the test at the Fenggucheng branch, he should logically be placed under Kui Jin's tutelage first.
Chi Chen chuckled lightly, "I'll talk to Kui Jin myself, as long as the two elders agree."
"But I guess I was just lucky. Otherwise, how could I have come back to complete a mission and run into such a promising talent?"
Chi Chen spoke lightly, suggesting he was in a very good mood.
At that moment, Zi Qingshan gave Gu Chengfeng a wink.
Gu Chengfeng coughed lightly twice upon seeing this, and then said, "Actually, he's not exactly a promising talent. This person is already over thirty. It was only because Kui Jin heard that he had killed a rat demon that was above his level that he gave him a try."
"In your thirties?"
Chi Chen was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
After all, he had no idea what information those two old men possessed.
However, since this person was able to reach the top ten of the top 100 list in the Black Mirror by relying on the seventh level of Body Tempering, he must have some skills and talent.
"You two need not worry. Although you are a bit old, you are still easy to manage. It is settled then, and Chichen will not disturb your rest."
After saying this, Chi Chen bowed and left without waiting for the two elders to speak.
After Chi Chen left, Zi Qingshan and Gu Chengfeng exchanged a glance.
Zi Qingshan immediately puffed out his beard and glared, saying, "Old man, aren't you usually quite the talker?"
Gu Chengfeng snorted coldly, "Why don't you go and say so? You still want more people? I think you might as well give me all the people under your command and let me train them for you. Who knows, they might even improve your ranking in the competition."
"Gu Chengfeng, you old bastard..."
That night, on Mount Cangwu, two enormous figures collided in the sea of clouds, accompanied by howling winds and deafening roars.
In the stone chamber of the Fenggucheng branch, the candlelight flickered, casting the shadows of the three people into varying lengths.
Zhang Ping sat on the stone bench, his body still feeling weak.
Although the battles in the scene didn't leave any physical wounds, the mental exhaustion was real. The feeling of being swatted away by a two-headed wolf's claw still lingered in his consciousness.
Heng Ziyang's enthusiasm never stopped from the moment he woke up.
"Brother Zhang, come, come, eat this first."
Heng Ziyang took out a pill from his waist and handed it to Zhang Ping.
The pill was dark red in color, with a faint oily sheen on its surface, and emitted a peculiar smell.
"Blood-Activating Pill".
Heng Ziyang explained, "It's specifically for restoring qi and blood."
Seeing his enthusiastic smile, Zhang Ping didn't refuse and just popped it into his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and a warm sensation slid down his throat like a warm stream, spreading from his stomach to his limbs and bones, making him feel incredibly comfortable.
Heng Ziyang's enthusiasm goes far beyond just one pill.
He went around behind Zhang Ping, put his hands on Zhang Ping's shoulders, and began to massage them.
The pressure was just right, and the technique was surprisingly professional, with each press precisely hitting the acupoints, making him feel comfortable.
At the same time, he began to explain the rules of Jingtianmen to Zhang Ping in a long, drawn-out manner.
"Brother Zhang, let me tell you the inside story of our Jingtian Sect, so you won't be completely clueless in the future."
"The Pure Heaven Gate was established by the current emperor with the intention of sweeping away the filth of the world and eliminating evil spirits."
Heng Ziyang's tone became unusually serious. "There is a sect leader in our sect whose strength is astonishing. It is said that he has already surpassed the Innate Realm and has transformed into the Profound Realm."
Tongxuan?
Zhang Ping repeated those two words in his mind.
He knew that there were realms beyond the innate level, but he only had vague names in the original owner's memories, since it was something he couldn't access.
Today is the first time I've heard its exact name: Tongxuan.
"Besides the sect leader, the next two are elders."
Heng Ziyang continued, pausing his hand movements as if recalling something, before continuing, "Your names are Gu Chengfeng and Zi Qingshan. These two are also extraordinary individuals. It is said that when the demon race invaded the pass, the 360 Innate Realm experts of the Great Yu fought to the death, and in the end, less than two hands remained. These two were among them."
Hearing this, Zhang Ping became somewhat interested. "The demon race has been in the pass for several hundred years. Have you two lived that long?"
Heng Ziyang was somewhat surprised, after all, once one reaches the Innate Realm, one's lifespan can reach a hundred years, and if one has the skill to maintain one's health, a thousand years is not impossible.
Heng Ziyang was surprised that Zhang Ping was unaware of this, but he patiently explained it to him anyway.
Zhang Ping also knew quite a bit about cultivation.
Seeing that he had no doubts, Heng Ziyang continued, "Next are the four town lords."
"They are Kui Jin, Chi Chen, Yan Shui, and Zou Huo. Each of these four governs a region and is in charge of the four domains and eight directions. Our Feng Gu City area is the territory of Lord Kui Jin."
"Then there are the Suppression Envoys and us ordinary disciples."
"Our Jingtianmen's organizational structure is quite simple, consisting of two gates: the Information Gate and the Killing Gate."
"The Xunmen are responsible for collecting information and gathering intelligence. They are distributed throughout Dayu. On the surface, they are just ordinary people, but in reality, they are all our informants."
"The Killing Sect is simple; they are responsible for killing demons and suppressing evil."
"Brother Zhang, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
As Heng Ziyang spoke, he tilted his head to rest not far from Zhang Ping's shoulder, his gaze intense.
Zhang Ping felt a chill run down his spine from his gaze, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. He then said helplessly, "Brother Heng, don't look at me like that, it feels weird."
As he spoke, Zhang Ping moved slightly to the side, trying to keep his distance from him.
"You and I will have a fight."
At that moment, a cold voice came from the corner.
That's Guo Jie.
As he spoke, his hand reached for the knife at his waist, and he took a step forward, looking as if he couldn't wait any longer.
Zhang Ping turned to look at Guo Jie's cold face, gave a wry smile, and said, "Brother Guo, please spare me."
After saying that, he spread his hands and said, "To be honest, this mirror is really broken. Otherwise, with my meager skills, how could I possibly have made it into the top ten? I even have trouble killing demons in the Body Tempering Realm."
The demons in the realm of intent could be killed with a single strike by his supernatural powers, but that was because the realm of intent gave him the possibility of using his supernatural powers without restriction.
In reality, however, his divine power would vanish after just one use.
And what's even more distressing now is that he can't explain this to anyone.
He can't exactly say, "I have a system, I have supernatural powers," and then exploit a bug in the illusion!
Heng Ziyang and Guo Jie were unaware of these things; all they saw was someone at the seventh level of Body Tempering, who had killed dozens of demons in the realm of intent and entered the top ten on his first attempt.
