Chapter 1394: Chapter 1394: Until We Meet Again
Zhan Yue God Emperor is most skilled in Space Law, and the Flying Sky Talisman she personally refined cannot be restrained even by super first-class God Lords.
Jing Yan’s Divine Thought swiftly swept across the space, and after confirming that the Viper had truly vanished, he basically determined that the Viper had used a space treasure similar to the Flying Sky Talisman.
This did not completely surprise Jing Yan. Although treasures like the Flying Sky Talisman are precious, the Viper, being a first-class God Lord in realm and having been a robber for countless years, must have accumulated massive resources. It’s normal for him to possess a treasure like the Flying Sky Talisman.
"Thank you, benefactor, for saving my life!"
At this moment, the black-clothed old man, the young girl, and the surviving Armored Warriors quickly came to Jing Yan’s side.
It was only now that the black-clothed old man’s eyes showed a sense of disbelief.
He truly couldn’t imagine that the young-looking Martial Artist before him was actually stronger than the Viper. If he hadn’t witnessed the other’s actions himself, he wouldn’t have dared imagine that this Martial Artist named Jing Yan had such terrifying strength.
Strength like this is enough to stand at the top of the pyramid in the entire Human Territory.
In the entire Human Territory, among the Nine Great Divine Realms, the number of first-class God Lords is indeed very few.
At this moment, the black-clothed old man and others felt very fortunate for encountering the Viper Robber Group, only to find a powerful figure like Jing Yan coincidentally passing by and rescuing them. One can imagine, if it weren’t for Lord Jing Yan’s passing, none of them would have survived.
"Zhu’er, quickly bow and thank the benefactor!" The black-clothed old man softly instructed the girl beside him.
The young girl, at this time, was quietly observing Jing Yan. She might also be curious as to why someone who looks about the same age as herself has such terrifying strength. Of course, she also knows that many adults who look young are actually quite old. Nevertheless, she vaguely senses that Lord Jing Yan’s true age isn’t very high either.
Upon hearing her grandfather’s words, Zhu’er promptly bowed in salute to Jing Yan, expressing her thanks in a clear voice.
Jing Yan waved his hand and said, "You don’t need to be so formal. Actually, it’s also unfortunate for the Viper and his group. I initially thought you had a feud, so I didn’t plan to intervene. But the Viper’s group actively tried to intercept me."
What Jing Yan said is the truth! If the Viper hadn’t sent those two to intercept Jing Yan, he might have flown past this area quickly.
"Anyway, if it weren’t for Lord Jing Yan passing by and intervening, our group would surely have met a terrible fate. Zhu’er would have fallen into that demon’s hands." The black-clothed old man said sincerely, then continued, "My name is Ying Ping, and this is my granddaughter, Ying Zhu."
Jing Yan nodded with a smile at the two.
"Lord Jing Yan, is this your first time in the All Paths World?" Ying Ping asked again.
"Yes, indeed it is my first time coming here from the Human Territory due to certain matters that require traveling this way." Jing Yan’s gaze fixed forward, toward the location of the All Paths World.
"I am also a Martial Artist from the Human Territory, from the First Divine Realm. However, I’ve spent a significant part of my life in the All Paths World; I am somewhat like a small merchant, occasionally traveling between the First Divine Realm and the All Paths World."
"My granddaughter Zhu’er is coming to the All Paths World for the first time. Her parents offended a significant figure in the First Divine Realm not long ago and were killed by them a thousand years ago, leaving Zhu’er lucky to survive. So I specifically went to the First Divine Realm to bring Zhu’er over, only to run into the Viper Robber Group here." Ying Ping said slowly.
Jing Yan listened to these words, unable to comment. He could see the painful look in Ying Ping’s eyes when mentioning Zhu’er’s parents. But what could he say?
"I only regret not having enough power to avenge Zhu’er’s parents." Ying Ping paused and then continued.
"My granddaughter is indeed a Martial Arts Genius. She is still very young, not yet ten thousand years old, and has already reached the True God Realm. In the Divine Realm, she is considered a rare Martial Arts Genius." Ying Ping says, his eyes kindly looking at Ying Zhu.
Ying Zhu blushed slightly, lowering her head a bit.
"Lord Jing Yan, I see you are by yourself, without someone to care for you. Why not let Zhu’er stay by your side?" Ying Ping turned his eyes to Jing Yan.
"Hmm?" Jing Yan’s eyes widened.
"Zhu’er is gifted, Lord Jing Yan. If you have mercy, please take Zhu’er as your apprentice. Even a little guidance from you in your free time would be immensely beneficial to her." Ying Ping continued with hopeful eyes on Jing Yan.
This old man is indeed shrewd. But what’s not known is that Jing Yan is actually younger than his granddaughter Zhu’er. Jing Yan truly hasn’t considered taking an apprentice.
In the Divine Realm, many powerful God Lords do take some female disciples and keep them by their side to help with trivial matters.
Jing Yan looked at Ying Ping and then at Zhu’er, who had her head down with a flushed face. This Zhu’er does possess good Martial Arts talent, with a graceful and lovely demeanor. She will likely become a Main God in the future. If she has a good teacher giving instructions, she has a great possibility of becoming a Nine Tripods Main God.
However...
The purpose of Jing Yan’s visit to the All Paths World is not to take an apprentice; he has important matters to attend to.
"I came to the All Paths World for a very important mission, so I’m afraid I cannot have Miss Zhu’er accompany me." Jing Yan eventually shook his head and said.
Upon hearing Jing Yan’s words, Ying Ping’s eyes showed disappointment. Even Ying Zhu’s flushed cheeks turned pale.
Jing Yan felt a trace of reluctance.
"How about this? If in the future, I meet Miss Zhu’er again, I will then accept her as my first disciple." Jing Yan added.
"Zhu’er, quickly thank the benefactor." Ying Ping urgently instructed Ying Zhu.
Although Jing Yan did not directly agree to take her as an apprentice, there is at least a prospect. Ying Ping knows that the chance of his granddaughter Ying Zhu meeting Jing Yan again in the future is very low, but who can predict the events of this world? Perhaps one day, Zhu’er will be able to meet Jing Yan again.
"Thank you, benefactor." Ying Zhu’s delicate face regained a bit of color.
"Alright, let’s part here! Until we meet again!" Jing Yan made a gesture to Ying Ping and the others.
"Lord Jing Yan, until we meet again!" Ying Ping hurriedly returned the salute.
Jing Yan swiftly moved to the spaceship belonging to the Viper Robber Group nearby. Divine Power flowed out, permeating the now-ownerless spaceship, quickly refining the core hub, and then he collected it.
This spaceship is of great value. After all, refining and collecting it is a simple task, without wasting too much time.
