Many Legends were visibly stunned when they heard the voice, and their expressions changed.
"It's the Chief!"
"The Chief has come out?"
The old legendary battle pet warriors who had joined the Tower many years ago looked around in astonishment.
As far as they were concerned, the Chief was undoubtedly the most powerful person on the Blue Star! But the Chief had always been in closed-door cultivation. No one could have expected that he would come out on that day. Was he alerted by the battle?
The legendary battle pet warriors who had joined the Tower in the past hundred years were still in a daze. They only came back to their senses after hearing the old legendary battle pet warriors' words. They never thought that they would be able to meet the Chief that day. They had heard stories about the elusive Chief but had never seen him in person.
"Chief!"
The Vice Tower Master, who was preparing the Ten Thousand Deities Void Devouring Sword, had a change in expression. The Sword Qi in his hand immediately dissipated and faded away. He sensed something and turned to look at the void beside him. His expression changed, but he still cupped his hands and said, "Master, you've come out."
"Master?"
Many legendary battle pet warriors and titled battle pet warriors widened their eyes in astonishment.
The Chief is the Deputy Chief's master?!
Some old legendary battle pet warriors weren't too surprised. They all knew how amazing the tower master was, and they also knew the relationship between the deputy tower master and the tower master.
Buzzing ~!
A ripple appeared in the air. A middle-aged man in a white robe slowly walked out.
This middle-aged man's eyes were as bright and deep as the stars. He had an Asian face, and his jet-black hair draped over his shoulders. He looked very elegant and had the demeanor of an ancient person. He didn't wear shoes and stepped barefoot in the void. His entire body exuded a restrained and gentle aura.
Su Ping looked at the man and narrowed his eyes. He felt that there were white lotuses blooming around the middle-aged man, emitting a pure aura that could purify one's mind and cleanse one's killing intent.
Su Ping felt that the violence in his heart had calmed down.
"Peak of the Fate State?" Su Ping squinted. He didn't think much of it.
He was still in the state of white bones so he wasn't afraid of space confinement. If he wanted to leave, the Chief wouldn't be able to stop him.
"Greetings, Chief!"
"Greetings, Chief!"
At this moment, the other legendary battle pet warriors bowed to the Tower Master. Their attitude was very respectful as if they were facing an elder.
They were all legendary battle pet warriors but the Chief was not on the same level as them.
The Chief of the Tower walked out from the void and looked around. He was heartbroken when he saw the Nightfall Mountain that had collapsed. He heaved a sigh and looked at Su Ping. Suddenly, a strange look appeared on his face.
"Sir, I can sense that you're very young. I think you're only in your twenties."
The legendary battle pet warriors and titled battle pet warriors were stunned. They turned to Su Ping in astonishment.
Twenties?
Are you kidding me? Don't tell me this young man's appearance is his real age?
Su Ping said indifferently, "You can sense life energy. It seems that you're about to touch the domain of time. You're not far away from becoming a Star Saint."
The Chief didn't expect that Su Ping would know about that. "Sir, may I ask what your rank is?" The Chief's eyes flickered.
Everyone stared at them, still in a daze. Su Ping said that the Chief was about to reach the Star Rank. What the Chief said was even more surprising. The Chief couldn't sense Su Ping's rank and he still had to ask?
Is this young man at the same rank as the Chief?
But didn't the Chief say that this guy was only in his twenties?
How could there be a legendary battle pet warrior in his twenties?
Su Ping snorted but didn't answer.
Asking about a person's rank was as silly as asking about a girl's age.
The Deputy Chief was startled by Su Ping's attitude. "Mind your attitude!"
Su Ping cast a sidelong glance at him. "What attitude? He's your teacher, not mine. You, on the other hand, are not related to me. Mind your attitude. "
"You!" The Deputy Chief was infuriated.
Su Ping glanced at him but didn't say anything else. He secretly restrained his killing intent. The man had been preparing for the second attack, but the Chief had stopped him. Still, Su Ping wasn't going to pretend that nothing had happened. He couldn't avenge himself at the moment, but he would make up for it in the future!
The Chief raised his hand and stopped the Deputy Chief, who was about to say something else. He then looked at him.
The meaning behind this gaze caused the anger on the Vice Tower Master's face to vanish. His heart was filled with fear. He had always respected this master of his, and even feared him. The fact that his master had blocked his second attack meant that he had most likely come out of seclusion ahead of time. He was just hiding in the dark, waiting to see how the Vice Tower Master would deal with him.
The Chief, on the other hand, didn't notice the man at all.
They were both in the Fate State. Was the gap between them really that huge?
He remembered what Su Ping said earlier and felt his heart skip a beat.
The Star Rank Saint.
That was a level that all Legends could only dream of. Once they reached that level, they would be considered big shots even in the Interstellar Federation!
"I'm Ji Yuanfeng. What's your name, sir?" said the Chief to Su Ping in a gentle and courteous manner.
Many Legends were stunned by the Chief's attitude. Some of them were about to complain, but they held their tongues in shock.
"My name is Su Ping, and my name is Ping."
Su Ping could tell that the Chief didn't intend to kill him, but he didn't let his guard down. The Deputy Chief was the second-in-command of the Tower, and yet he went back on his word in public. A person's identity had nothing to do with their character.
Ji Yuanfeng nodded and said, "That's enough, sir. Do you want to stay and join the Tower, or leave?"
Su Ping said, "I'm here to ask for herbs. I heard that you have Soul Nurturers. Give them to me and I'll leave right away. I don't need to join the Tower."
Ji Yuanfeng wasn't surprised; he had expected that Su Ping wouldn't join the Tower. He said to the Deputy Chief, "Get the herbs and give them to Mr. Su."
The Deputy Chief was stunned.
All the Legends and Titled battle pet warriors were stunned.
Give them the herbs?
Aren't they going to punish Su Ping for killing three Legendary battle pet warriors and destroying the Nightfall Mountain?! 12
The Deputy Chief wanted to say something, but stopped on second thought. He had sensed Su Ping's killing intent. Letting such a dangerous guy go would be detrimental to him in the future!
"Sir …" He opened his mouth.
Ji Yuanfeng looked at him and said, "You said that you would let him go if he withstood one of your attacks. As the Deputy Chief of the Tower, you have to follow through with your words."
The Deputy Chief felt as if he had been slapped in the face. He had no choice but to accept the order and leave.
The other Legends didn't dare to persuade him again since the Deputy Chief didn't say anything.
Su Ping looked on coldly and didn't say anything. If the Deputy Chief didn't want to give him the herbs, he was ready to rob the Tower's vault and loot everything. He had the scroll, the storage space, and the old dragon king's storage space; he wasn't afraid that he wouldn't be able to fit the herbs. However, he would have to pay a heavy price and his lifespan would be greatly depleted.
However, since Ji Yuanfeng had shown up, Su Ping wasn't confident that he could rob the herbs.
He wouldn't be scared if the Deputy Chief was only there to deal with him; the latter wasn't even as strong as the Otherworld Heavenly King, who had run away. He might be able to kill the Deputy Chief in a fight!
A moment later, the Deputy Chief returned by teleportation.
He was holding a black and golden box; he threw it to Su Ping.
Su Ping solemnly took the bag and opened it. Inside was a grass that was emitting a hazy gray mist. The grass seemed to be translucent; he could see the structure of the grass's roots.
"Is this the Soul Nurturer?"
This was the first time Su Ping had seen it, so he couldn't recognize it. But he could tell that it was most likely the item he was looking for. There was a strong aura of the undead and a strong aura of Spirit Qi in the herb. The two completely different auras were mixed together in the same herb, which was quite amazing.
Xie Jinshui and Qin Duhuang flew over from afar. Xie Jinshui looked at the herb and nodded. "Yes, this is the Soul Nurturer."
Su Ping nodded and was completely relieved.
He looked at Ji Yuanfeng and nodded. "I, Su Ping, am a man of clear distinction. I'll take this as a small favor for you. Feel free to come to me in the Longjiang Base City if you need anything. Of course, don't come if it's too troublesome. You know what you're doing."
Ji Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows and said with a casual smile, "You're welcome. The herb didn't belong to me in the first place; it belonged to the legendary battle pet warrior you killed. He should be the one who owes you a favor."
Su Ping snorted and said, "If I take it from him, I'll be robbing. I can rob others and I won't feel guilty. But if someone wants to give it to me, I'll still thank them and remember their favor."
Ji Yuanfeng looked at him but didn't say anything.
"Let's go." Su Ping put away the Soul Nurturer and left without saying anything else.
Xie Jinshui immediately followed Su Ping. He had gone there with Su Ping; he didn't dare to stay any longer since Su Ping was leaving, nor would he have the courage to set foot in the Tower again.
Who would have thought that three legendary battle pet warriors would die when they came to ask for medicine? Some of them were even as strong as the Lord Pluto.
That kind of casualty was as great as the losses caused by several beast tides.
Not even the beast tides in the Longjiang Base City had killed three legendary battle pet warriors. Xie Jinshui couldn't help but sigh and feel sorry for them.
However, he didn't think that Su Ping had done anything wrong. He would have shown his anger if he were as strong as Su Ping. After all, it was too infuriating.
"Mr. Su, wait for me," Qin Duhuang shouted and followed him.
Su Ping was surprised. He couldn't help but look at him. "What are you doing?"
Qin Duhuang smiled at him and bowed respectfully to Ji Yuanfeng. "Chief, I'm Qin Duhuang from the Longjiang Base City. I've just joined the Tower, but I'm planning to quit. However, if the Tower needs me in the future, such as guarding the Deep Caves, I'll do what I'm supposed to do. I hope you'll approve."
Ji Yuanfeng looked at him and nodded. "Sure."
Qin Duhuang was slightly surprised; he didn't expect the Chief to agree so quickly. He was secretly relieved, feeling that the Chief was easy to talk to. He cupped his hands again and caught up with Su Ping. "Mr. Su, I'll work for you from now on."
Su Ping didn't say anything else. He took the lead and flew away.
The legendary battle pet warriors changed their expressions, but they still gritted their teeth and made way for them.
All the legendary battle pet warriors wore awful expressions as they watched Su Ping, Xie Jinshui, Qin Duhuang and the others leave.
They had allowed an outsider to show off in the Tower, but they let him go just like that.
Some of the legendary battle pet warriors looked at the Chief; they were angry, but they didn't show it.
Ji Yuanfeng chuckled as he watched Su Ping and the others leave. He mumbled to himself, "What a cute little guy."
The smile on his face was gone after Su Ping was completely gone. He looked around and asked, "Is what the young man said true? The base is under attack by wild beasts. Why are you all gathered here? Can someone explain to me? "
Everybody changed their expressions after hearing that; cold sweat was dripping down their backs.
That was enough to prove that the Chief had been there for a long time and knew everything!
If that was the case, then Su Ping's killing of three legendary battle pet warriors had been tacitly approved by the Chief!
Their hearts were pounding when they thought about the reason.
"The first generation built the Tower and gathered the top experts of the Blue Star because he wanted to provide protection for the Blue Star!" Ji Yuanfeng said coldly, "The Blue Star is an original star that has been abandoned by the Federation. Who will save us if we don't save ourselves? Are we going to wait for more and more cracks to appear in space and for things to crawl out from the Deep Caves?
"Those people outside may be weaker than you, but they are our hope, our hope!"
"Who knows if a second exceptional talent will be born inside?"
"The young man you saw today is a miraculous tinder. Who knows if there will be a second tinder like this in the destroyed bases?"
Everyone was trembling with fear, not daring to make a sound.
The Deputy Chief's expression changed. He realized that Ji Yuanfeng was going to reorganize the Tower after his seclusion.
Ji Yuanfeng glanced at all the legendary battle pet warriors; all of them lowered their heads.
The coldness in his eyes disappeared and he shook his head. He knew that it was pointless to talk. Everybody had their own way of living, and no amount of talking could change that. Only rules and orders could be established.
"The Otherworld Heavenly King … Longjiang Base City …"
Ji Yuanfeng raised his head and looked at the cloudless sky of the Tower with worry in his eyes.
All of a sudden, he realized that he had forgotten something.
The Otherworld Heavenly King had appeared in the Longjiang Base City. So … had the Longjiang Base City been conquered, or had they failed?
"With that young man's ability, he should be able to hold on …"
He thought to himself.
"If he can't, the Heaven Executors there should take action."
