"What? I haven't offended so many people, could it be because of the Sword King Tomb?" Ren Pingsheng's expression changed; so many people were not something he could handle.
"It can't be. If it were because of the Sword King Tomb, so many people wouldn't be targeting you at the same time. They don't even know if you've obtained the Heritage, so the most likely scenario is that you are their target."
"Targeting me? Aside from that Heavenly Evil Sect Young Master, I haven't offended anyone here." He regained his composure and began to think. This situation made him feel a bit cold; so many Supreme Experts clearly meant they wanted his life!
This all happened in an instant. After they came out, another group of surviving martial artists followed them. The onlookers outside had already started to stir. They knew that among these people, there must be those who had obtained the Heritage, or even those who had acquired the King's Artifact. Some well-informed individuals had already recognized that most of these were from the Five Major Forces.
The hidden Supreme Experts couldn't hold back any longer. They had heard that most of the King's Artifacts had fallen into the hands of the Five Major Forces, and for them, the temptation of the King's Artifact was enough to make them act. Even if their opponents were from the Five Major Forces, they could just take it and flee afterward.
Not only Ren Pingsheng, but also Yun Xingzi and others felt a wave of pressure as they emerged.
"Hmph, these guys really don't care about their lives, daring to act against us," Cheng Batian snorted coldly, showing no fear. Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, several figures appeared in the distance, quickly closing in. Each of these individuals was a powerful expert at the respect level, with two of them likely being sect-level experts.
As they approached, they quickly came before the disciples of the Five Major Forces, glaring at those martial artists with ill intent, exuding a terrifying aura that carried a strong warning.
"Kid, let me tell you some bad news: among those Supreme Experts who want to kill you are those two old guys next to the girl you like," said Demon Emperor in a somewhat strange tone.
"What?" Ren Pingsheng froze for a moment, looking towards Chu Yanran and the two old men standing beside her. He had seen these two before when he met with Chu Yanran, knowing they were sent by the Great Chu Dynasty to protect her.
Now, Demon Emperor actually said that these two old men wanted to kill him. Although he didn't say it outright, Ren Pingsheng wasn't foolish. He feared this matter was related to Chu Yanran, at least she should know about it. Yet she still kept her eyes closed, appearing indifferent, which made him unable to believe it.
"Could it be that she has some difficulties or is being threatened by these two old men and therefore doesn't dare to speak?" He found himself a somewhat plausible excuse.
At this moment, Chu Yanran was also in torment; on one side was her current safety, and on the other was the person she liked.
"Shouldn't it be someone I like?" She asked herself internally, now feeling less certain. Their initial encounter at the Canglan Tavern, followed by their escape in the Nang Yun Sen. Everything flashed through her mind one by one.
Ren Pingsheng didn't give off that stunning or likable first impression; he looked extremely ordinary. Perhaps only those who interacted with him would know he was an impressive person. Unfortunately, too few people had interacted with him. If not for their chance encounter back then, even if they met at the Academy, they would have just been strangers.
If it weren't for those days of fleeing in the Nanyun Forest, perhaps their current relationship wouldn't exist. But was this truly heartfelt affection? Was it not merely gratitude or admiration born from him saving her life repeatedly at that time, which ultimately turned into what was called 'liking'?
They didn't even know each other well enough; at least she didn't know Ren Pingsheng's background, nor did she realize how exaggerated Ren Pingsheng's abilities were. Ren Pingsheng was equally unaware of her past.
If it was truly love, then when faced with such a dilemma back then, her heart would have hesitated only briefly before turning towards her mother. For Ren Pingsheng, she would only feel sadness, but it would be just sadness. That imagined feeling of being heartbroken was something she never felt at all.
So at this moment, she chose silence. Although her heart was in turmoil, she still hesitated to remind Ren Pingsheng. Perhaps in her view, with the Supreme Expert intervening, Ren Pingsheng likely had no way out. If that was the case, what was the point of reminding him?
"Now let's see who dares to make a move." Upon seeing reinforcements arrive, the disciples of the Five Major Forces lifted their heads and stood tall, no longer worried or afraid.
"Ren Pingsheng, are you coming with us? It would be safer this way. There might be some greedy individuals lurking around here," Yun Xingzi asked as he turned back.
"No need, I still have some things I want to clarify," Ren Pingsheng replied softly while looking into the distance. Perhaps he could leave right now, but how could he feel at ease without clarifying these matters?
"Uh... okay then, be careful," he said somewhat unexpectedly but nodded nonetheless. He left cautiously under the escort of the five sect's Elder. Perhaps their journey wouldn't be peaceful either; there might still be some lucky individuals trying to take action in secret. However, with so many people protecting him, at least it would be much safer.
Most of the surviving disciples were from major forces and had their own Guards, all with considerable cultivation levels. Unfortunately, there were also quite a few Supreme Experts present; they were all cautious, fearing any trouble. Otherwise, even if they were Supreme Experts, they might not be able to suppress everything.
"Ancestor, he has a King's Artifact, you should act quickly!" A martial artist exclaimed excitedly upon seeing his Ancestor arrive, pointing directly at Ren Pingsheng.
The scene fell silent as everyone's gaze turned towards Ren Pingsheng, some surprised and others delighted; greed surged in everyone's hearts at that moment.
Ren Pingsheng's expression changed as he turned to look at the excited martial artist with cold eyes. He never expected someone could be so foolish. This effectively pushed all the remaining martial artists into a precarious situation. If everyone started revealing each other's gains, few would likely leave alive. Because at this moment, no matter who spoke up or what they said, everyone would believe it.
"Heh, it seems you don't want to leave alive; didn't you obtain the Heritage?" Ren Pingsheng's expression returned to calmness as he chuckled lightly.
The atmosphere froze for a moment as a large portion of people turned their attention back to the martial artist who had spoken earlier. It could be said that the Heritage was the desire of most people; even if a King's Artifact was powerful, it couldn't compare to the allure of the Heritage. Because the Heritage could become strength, while a King's Artifact in their hands was merely a ticking time bomb.
"You’re lying! I don’t have any Heritage on me!" The once proud martial artist turned pale under so many gazes and hurriedly clarified. Even if he truly hadn't obtained anything, who would believe him now? For them, it was better to believe there was something than to believe there wasn't.
The martial artist's Ancestor, upon hearing him speak, immediately changed his expression. For those old-timers who had lived for decades or even centuries, they could see through the situation at a glance. It could only be said that this Junior was too foolish; regardless of whether he had obtained anything or not, the priority now was to leave this place. Other matters could wait until they were safe; once chaos erupted here, even he would be powerless.
"Kill! The Heritage is mine!" Someone shouted, causing hundreds of martial artists to become restless; most of their eyes were fixed on that martial artist. The martial artist looked terrified; now he realized how foolish his earlier actions had been.
"Run!" The ancestor with respect-level cultivation grabbed him and attempted to break through using his power.
"Where are you going! Leave the Heritage behind." A supreme-level warrior intervened, directly stopping them. The old man had no choice but to defend himself, but his Junior was not so lucky and was immediately surrounded and attacked.
"Ah!" The warrior let out a couple of miserable screams before being reduced to nothing. His Spatial Bracelet was also snatched away, and a chaotic battle erupted as a result. Other warriors emerging from the Sword King Tomb were also affected and became targets of the siege. One by one, they fought their way out under the guards of the Supreme Expert. Among them, Ren Pingsheng was also besieged by many people, with the vitality of the King's Artifact being quite significant.
"Ren Pingsheng, return my son's life!" Chu Yuan's Father, Chu Longxiang, suddenly appeared from behind, shouting with gritted teeth.
Ren Pingsheng's expression changed; this was clearly a Supreme Expert. He could withstand the attacks from other warriors, but he could not resist a supreme-level warrior.
"Senior, are you mistaken? Do I know your son?" he shouted helplessly, as the numerous attacking warriors became an obstacle blocking Chu Longxiang.
"You don't know? Someone saw my son die at your hands in the Chu King's Secret Realm. Today, I will definitely tear you to pieces." With a wave of his hand, several warriors blocking his path were severely injured and sent flying.
"Chu King's Secret Realm, Chu Yuan?" He suddenly remembered that someone had told him that Chu Yuan's Father was a Supreme Expert; he hadn't expected someone to have witnessed it from the shadows.
"Get out of my way! His life is mine; I must kill him." Chu Longxiang roared angrily, filled with murderous intent as he charged at Ren Pingsheng.
"Heh heh, that's not going to happen. That kid's King's Artifact is mine. Don't think you can just find an excuse to deceive us." Another Supreme Expert intervened, blocking Chu Longxiang. The two began to battle; in his eyes, Chu Longxiang was merely looking for an excuse, and his goal was also Ren Pingsheng's King's Artifact.
Ren Pingsheng's eyes lit up; although there were still many supreme-level experts watching him closely, he was temporarily safe. With each flicker of his Azure Wind Sword, another warrior fell beneath its blade.
Not only on his side but also among the other warriors, blood flowed like rivers. Especially those who had obtained the Heritage were continuously slaughtering under the protection of their Supreme Expert. The entire area outside the Sword King Tomb had descended into chaos.
