The snowstorm wreaked havoc in the hall, and Mengjie stepped in to protect the Saint from the Mingzheng Gang. After all, he wasn't strong enough to withstand such a terrifying snowstorm.
With Mengjie's protection, the Saint from the Mingzheng Gang was naturally fine. However, Lin Tianfeng and the other two weren't so lucky. Under the raging snowstorm, the three of them quickly turned into three ice sculptures.
Their vitality had been completely extinguished. After doing all this, Bing Lian turned to look at Mengjie. The two women nodded slightly, then turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
Afterwards, the Celestial Society was destroyed. In fact, from the beginning to the end, only Ice Lotus had acted. Mengjie hadn't acted at all.
Unfortunately, they didn't manage to find out any information about the mastermind. It seemed that the mastermind was very careful and didn't leave any traces behind.
After dealing with the Mingzheng Gang, Bing Lian, Mengjie, and the Saint from the Mingzheng Gang returned to Ming City. At the same time, Zheng Ping also asked to see Xiao Chen. The two of them met in the backyard of the Mingzheng Gang's mansion.
Xiao Chen sat on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, while Zheng Ping stood respectfully in front of Xiao Chen. Looking at Zheng Ping, Xiao Chen smiled. "Gang Leader Zheng, there's no need to be so polite. Have a seat."
Xiao Chen's attitude towards Zheng Ping could be considered polite. Whether it was status or strength, Zheng Ping couldn't compare to Xiao Chen.
If it were any other Saint, Xiao Chen wouldn't even spare them a glance.
That's right, Saints were lofty existences in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the Chosen on the Saint Ranking, Saints were nothing. This was because any Chosen on the Saint Ranking had the strength to kill a Saint.
It was also because Zheng Ping had saved his life that Xiao Chen was so polite to him. However, Zheng Ping wasn't a fool and knew how to face Xiao Chen.
Therefore, ever since Xiao Chen came to Ming City, Zheng Ping had always been very respectful. He didn't think that he was arrogant just because he had saved Xiao Chen's life. Xiao Chen was very satisfied with this. At least it proved that Zheng Ping knew when to advance and when to retreat, and that he could see the big picture.
Xiao Chen gestured for Zheng Ping to sit. However, Zheng Ping knelt on the ground without any warning and bowed deeply to Xiao Chen.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen hurriedly got up and personally helped Zheng Ping up. He asked with a questioning look, "Faction Leader Zheng, what are you doing?"
"Holy Son Xiao Chen, to be honest, I have a presumptuous request and I hope you can agree to it. Holy Son, please don't misunderstand. I'm not forcing you to repay me. I …" Zheng Ping said.
It's finally here. Xiao Chen had already guessed that Zheng Ping must have a motive for saving him, so he wasn't surprised. In fact, the fact that Zheng Ping was able to say it out loud made Xiao Chen think even more highly of him.
Just as Zheng Ping said, he didn't dare to force Xiao Chen to repay him. Instead, he used the method of requesting and even pleading to reveal his motive to Xiao Chen.
Upon hearing Zheng Ping's words, Xiao Chen interrupted before he could finish his sentence. "What are you talking about, Gang Leader Zheng? There's no harm in just stating your request. I, Xiao Chen, will definitely not decline as long as it's within my capabilities."
Repaying kindness had always been Xiao Chen's principle. Moreover, in order to save him, the Mingzheng Gang suffered huge casualties. Almost half of the thousands of people died in the battle.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zheng Ping didn't hesitate any longer and immediately stated his request.
Zheng Ping only had two requests. First, he hoped that the Mingzheng Gang could walk out of the Land of a Hundred Rivers openly and didn't have to wait for death in this godforsaken place.
Second, it was Zheng Ping's personal matter. He wanted to avenge himself through Xiao Chen by beheading the young master of the Xuanyuan Family who killed his wife and child back then to appease the spirits of his wife and child in heaven.
After stating both requests in one breath, Zheng Ping intentionally added as he was afraid that Xiao Chen would misunderstand.
"Holy Son Xiao Chen, perhaps some of us who entered the Land of a Hundred Rivers deserved it, but some of us were forced to do so. Otherwise, no one would want to stay in such a godforsaken place where it's difficult to progress for the rest of our lives and where we can only wait for death every day.
"Therefore, I implore Holy Son Xiao Chen to bring us out of the Land of a Hundred Rivers. As for the second request, it's my personal matter. If Holy Son finds it difficult, I won't dare to ask for more."
Xiao Chen could choose not to agree to the second request. This was Zheng Ping's intention. Upon hearing that, Xiao Chen revealed a smile and looked at Zheng Ping.
"What? Do you think I care about a mere Xuanyuan Family disciple?"
Naturally, Xiao Chen wouldn't care about a mere Xuanyuan Family disciple. He had even offended Xuanyuan Baizhan, so killing an ordinary Xuanyuan Family disciple wouldn't be a big deal.
However, Zheng Ping didn't know what Xiao Chen meant. Upon hearing this, Zheng Ping immediately said in a somewhat frightened manner, "Holy Son, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I …"
"Alright, I understand what you mean. How about this? I'll help you leave the Land of a Hundred Rivers. Furthermore, if you're willing, you can join my Sacred Palace. Four Saints like you can enter the Sacred Palace and become Sacred Sovereigns. As for the rest, they will naturally be allocated according to their cultivation. Of course, even if their cultivation is too low and their talent is too poor, I can also let them become servants in the Sacred Palace. This way, their lives and safety will at least be guaranteed and they won't have nowhere to stay even if they leave the Land of a Hundred Rivers." Xiao Chen looked at Zheng Ping and said indifferently.
In this way, Xiao Chen had agreed to Zheng Ping's first request. Moreover, it could be said that he had helped the Xuanyuan Family to leave the Land of a Hundred Rivers. He could even accept them into the Sacred Palace regardless of their cultivation level. At the very least, he could give them the status of servants.
Although servants were the lowest level of existence in the Sacred Palace and were far inferior to even nominal disciples, at the very least, if they could enter the Sacred Palace, they would at least have a place to stay and wouldn't have to wander around. Their safety would also be protected by the Sacred Palace.
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zheng Ping was first taken aback, but then he was overjoyed. He repeatedly bowed to Xiao Chen and said, "Thank you, Holy Son. Thank you, Holy Son. I …"
"Alright, alright, don't be in such a hurry to thank me. This is the first request. As for your second request, I'll agree to it. However, I can't guarantee the time because I can't just kill my way to the Xuanyuan Family and capture them. But I can promise you one thing. As long as I have the chance, I will personally chop off that dog's head for you and give it to you."
Xiao Chen agreed to the second request without hesitation. To Xiao Chen, killing a member of the Xuanyuan Clan was a piece of cake; there was no difficulty at all.
