Chapter 2878: The True Enemy
Hearing Chen Ping's words, the clan leader smiled and said, "It's not that simple. Even if this Demon-Drawing Whip is a celestial weapon dropped from heaven, after all, it is a weapon. The person who truly wields its power is the one using the weapon."
"If strength levels are comparable, having the Demonic Suppression Whip would allow for effortless crushing of those demon cultivators!"
"But if the difference in strength is too great, even with the Demon-Slaying Whip, it's probably hard to escape the hands of the demonic cultivators."
Chen Ping listened and felt that the patriarch's words made sense. Any powerful weapon depends on the person using it. If a Huajing cultivator wanted to use the Demon-Pulling Whip against a peak Hetijing demon cultivator, it would obviously be impossible!
"Chieftain, I still have one thing I don't understand. Do you think you could answer it?"
Chen Ping said!
"Ask away..." The chief nodded!
Chen Ping took out his jade pendant and said, "This jade pendant of mine is broken. Half was given to me by Wa Gang, and the other half was given to me by the county princess of Jialing County. I really want to know, what kind of person was that county princess of Jialing County? Why did she have the other half of the jade pendant?"
Upon hearing this from Chen Ping, the patriarch fell silent. After a long while, he slowly spoke, "About this matter, if you have the opportunity, you should ask the county magistrate of Jiaoling County herself. I am unable to tell you."
"You've been walking for so long, you must be tired. Rest well, and tomorrow I'll have Waqiang accompany you to look for the treasure. After all, he's very familiar with this area."
Having said that, the chieftain was about to leave. Chen Ping looked at the chieftain's expression and it was obvious he knew the identity of the Jiaoling County Lord, but he just didn't want to say it!
Since the chieftain was unwilling to speak, Chen Ping didn't press him further!
"Chieftain, I heard from Wa Gang that the Gao family has always been eyeing your Gu Lian Ti clan with covetousness. If I am lucky enough to find the real treasure this time, I will find a way to help you eliminate the danger of the Gao family."
Since Chen Ping received favors from them, he should do something for the Ancient Refining Body Clan!
As the saying goes, "one who does not work shall not receive," Chen Ping was unwilling to take the treasure of the Ancient Refining Body Clan for nothing!

But who knew, the chieftain upon hearing this turned to look at Chen Ping with a helpless expression and said: “In this extreme north, the truly fearsome are not the Gao family, but those demon cultivators...”
"A demon cultivator?" Chen Ping was taken aback. "Could it be that there are still demons in this far north region?"
"Could it be that this far north, is not exactly the place where demons should exist?"
The clan chief asked back!
Now, Chen Ping was silent.
This far north land, with its sparse population and harsh environment, is perfect for demon cultivators on the run, like rats scurrying through the streets!
At the very least, living here can help you avoid a lot of danger and trouble!
Looking at the departing patriarch, Chen Ping realized that this world of humans and gods was far more complex than he had imagined!
Even this far north, it is not as calm as it seems!
Chen Ping walked out of the tent, and Liu Ruyue and the others were waiting for him outside!
"Chen Ping, the clan leader has arranged accommodation for us. Let's rest for a while and go..."
Li Ruoyan said to Chen Ping!
Chen Ping nodded and followed Liu Ruyan into a tent, while the Three Great Thieves rested in another tent!
In the middle of the night, a hundred miles away from the ancient refining clan, there are always flashes of light.
And with a rumbling sound that could be heard from so far away!
Chen Ping lay inside his tent, knowing that the light and sounds of fighting were coming from outside.
Now, the entire Far North doesn't know how many cultivators seeking treasures have poured in. Adding to that, with the news of the Ice Soul Fragments spreading, even more cultivators will come to the Far North!
By then, the far north will be in chaos, and those demonic cultivators probably won't dare to act recklessly when they see so many cultivators coming to the far north. They'll just hide!
It seems the chieftain's method is not only aimed at the Gao family, those demon cultivators are the truly terrifying enemies!
After all, the ancestors of the ancient Body Refining Clan used to slaughter and enslave so many demon cultivators. These demon cultivators would definitely seek revenge!
