Chapter 5875

Walking out of the mission hall, the Red Cloud Demon Lord lowered his voice. “Chen Ping, the strength you showed just now is bound to draw attention—especially from the Hall of Evil Paths…”

“It’s fine,” Chen Ping replied calmly. “They were going to come knocking sooner or later anyway. Showing a bit of strength will scare off some small fry and save us a lot of trouble.”

He added, “Besides, the Earth Fire Pavilion has taken an interest in me. That connection could offer us some protection.”

The Red Cloud Demon Lord thought it over and found the reasoning sound, so he said nothing more.

The two returned to the inn to prepare for the next day’s mission.

What they didn’t know was that shortly after they left, everything that had happened in the mission hall spread rapidly through various channels, reaching the ears of all the major powers in Chiyan City.

Chen Ping—a mysterious, powerful young cultivator suspected of hiding his true cultivation—quickly became the center of attention.
