It grows stronger when faced with a strong opponent; even an Immortal Emperor would have to kneel be

The woman looked at Chen Ping as he slammed a palm at her, her face showing disdain.

She wasn't afraid even if the Great Emperor came, let alone a weak human cultivator like him.

But the next moment, there was a loud bang.

When the slap landed squarely on her, she could no longer laugh.

His face froze instantly, and then his body lurched backward, crashing into the palace wall.

At that moment, the oppressive feeling emanating from Ling Xiao and the other two vanished instantly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ling Xiao's clothes were already soaked with cold sweat. He looked at the woman in the distance, still feeling lingering fear.

He didn't understand why he felt afraid.

He wasn't even afraid of death, so why would he be afraid of the woman in front of him?

Luo Qingcheng and Wang Long, however, lacked Ling Xiao's courage. They lay on the ground, panting and pale.

It was so agonizing. It felt like being targeted as prey, filled with a sense of helplessness and being at someone's mercy.

However, at the same time, they also looked at Chen Ping in front of them with surprise.

Although they didn't know the woman's strength, the fact that she could instill such instinctive fear in them meant she must be quite powerful.

But Chen Ping swatted her away like a fly.

"Brother Chen, are you truly from the Northern Region? Why are you so powerful?"

Ling Xiao was surprised and full of curiosity about Chen Ping's strength.

Ling Xiao sensed something was wrong from the moment Chen Ping suppressed those masked men in blue.

Now I only feel that he is becoming more and more terrifying and unpredictable.

But Ling Xiao quickly put that thought out of his mind. Although he and Chen Ping had only known each other for a short time, they hit it off immediately.

Chen Ping treated him well and saved him on several occasions.

Even if the other party is hiding something, so what? It doesn't matter at all.

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, waiting for his breakthrough to return to the Northwest and avenge the massacre of his family.

He was determined to follow in Chen Ping's footsteps and walk alongside him.

In the distance, the woman was slammed to the ground by Chen Ping's palm, and her illusory image became even fainter.

She was completely stunned.

What happened?

She was almost killed by a single palm strike from this seemingly ordinary human cultivator.

Although her current strength is far from her peak, her cultivation level is currently on par with that of a human quasi-emperor.

Even so, how could they be defeated so easily? It's simply unbelievable.

She stared intently at Chen Ping, a look of apprehension on her face. This human race was becoming increasingly formidable.

She was suppressed here because she looked down on the human race and was careless.

Now, repeating the same mistake, he was almost beaten to death on the spot.

What's wrong with this world? In her memory, the human race was clearly the weakest of all races.

How could she suffer repeated defeats at the hands of humans?

Her name was Night Phantom. In the era of her birth, the Night Clan was a powerful clan among all races, and she was a renowned prodigy of the Night Clan.

She still couldn't understand why things had come to this.

Chen Ping nodded in satisfaction as he watched Ye Huanying become docile instantly after being struck down by his palm.

"By the way, you still haven't told me your origins or why you were suppressed here."

Chen Ping asked, as he had the right to know what kind of being he had released.

The woman before them was clearly not human.

Upon hearing Chen Ping's question, Night Phantom's attitude changed drastically, losing its previous playful demeanor.

Night Phantom was also curious, as Chen Ping in front of her did not know her identity.

When the humans of that era saw those myriad races, they were filled with fear; it was a sense of inferiority and terror etched into their very bones.

The fact that the person in front of her didn't know her background indicated that the two were not from the same era.

Thinking of this, Night Phantom's eyes darted around, and she made a plan in her mind.

She certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal her identity; that would be tantamount to courting death.

The hatred between all races and the human race is irreconcilable.

She is currently unaware of the external situation and the extent of human development.

They knew nothing of the Night Clan's situation or that of the other races.

She was no match for the young man in white.

Night Phantom fell into deep thought. The powerful beings of all races rarely scheme or plot. Relying on their brute strength, they don't need to use their brains to make decisions; they can simply kill without thinking.

One force can overcome all methods.

But at this moment, Night Phantom racked her brains, feeling that her mind couldn't process anything.

Then, she smiled and came up with what she thought was a flawless plan.

She put on a pitiful look in front of Chen Ping.

"Senior, my name is Night Phantom. I am not human; I come from the Night Clan. However, we Night Clan have always been close friends of the human race."

"During the ancient war, the human race clashed with all other races. I went to support the human race without hesitation, but was injured by all other races. Fortunately, a human emperor intervened and protected my physical body and soul, bringing me to this place for protection. That's how I survived until now and was discovered by you, senior."

After Night Phantom finished speaking, a sly glint flashed in his eyes, confident that his explanation would not be detected as flawed.

After all, this person in front of him had no idea about the Night Clan.

Luo Qingcheng leaned close to Chen Ping's ear and whispered something.

"Senior, I feel like she's lying, she's not credible."

Chen Ping glanced at Luo Qingcheng; even someone like Luo Qingcheng could sense something amiss.

Chen Ping naturally did not believe Ye Huanying's explanation.

Who would use chains to bind someone or seal them with arrays when rescuing them, for fear that the person being rescued might escape?

Chen Ping glanced at Ye Huanying and gave a cold smile.

He slowly drew the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

He detested being deceived, and since the woman refused to tell the truth, there was no need to keep her around.

After all, he was the one who released her, and he had to eliminate any potential troubles to prevent her from wandering the world and causing further problems.

Watching Chen Ping draw his longsword from afar, Night Phantom felt a chill run down her spine as she sensed the world-destroying power contained within it.

Her face showed fear, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

When she was sealed away, she had just come of age and had not yet had a chance to truly experience the world.

Having finally been released from quarantine, she absolutely did not want to die!

She quickly abandoned her cleverness and lay down on the ground to confess the truth.

Not confessing means certain death, but telling the truth might offer a glimmer of hope.

"Senior, please don't kill me! I'll talk!"

After that, Night Phantom spoke at length about the relationship between humans and all other races in her era, the ancient war, and the reasons for her suppression.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ping and the other three were all astonished, never expecting that the woman's identity was so remarkable.

They were actually from the powerful Night Clan, one of the myriad races.

In Night Phantom's narration, the human race in that era was extremely weak, a mere prey for all other races.

Later, the legendary ancient war broke out, and the human race rose up to fight against all other races. Chen Ping and the other three looked increasingly solemn.

They couldn't imagine how humans had survived that great war; it was simply too incredible.

After a long while, Night Phantom finally finished telling everything she knew.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't dare to look up at Chen Ping's reaction.

If Chen Ping were to kill her immediately, she would have nothing to say, since the human race and all other races have an irreconcilable hatred for each other.

After listening, Chen Ping remained silent.

His thoughts seemed to travel back to the ancient war, when the human race produced a Heavenly Emperor who was invincible and single-handedly suppressed the strongmen of all races.

That's what brought about the glory of the human race today. Otherwise, they would still be like rats, huddled in dark corners, never seeing the light of day.

Then, Chen Ping pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked at Night Phantom again.

The person before him was from the Night Clan of Ten Thousand Races. Logically, he should have killed him with a single sword strike to avenge the ancestors of the human race.

But then Chen Ping thought again, keeping this person around might come in handy in the future.

With him around, the Night Phantom will definitely not be able to cause any trouble this night.

Chen Ping spoke to Night Phantom.

"Forget your identity as a member of the Night Clan, stay by my side, turn over a new leaf, and be a good person, and I will spare your life."
