Chapter 273
Among the last two disciples Cao Zhen took in, Zhu Peng was a simpleton, while Duo Duo was quick-witted. Many a time, Cao Zhen didn't even need to utter a word; Duo Duo would understand what her master intended to do.
The people of the Eastern Border, listening to Duo Duo's words, were filled with disbelief. They had already witnessed Duo Duo and Zhu Peng take action, and the strength of these two was probably enough to rank them in the top ten in their Eastern Border.
Yet now Duo Duo was claiming that there were another five disciples at Four Treasures Peak, four of whom were even stronger than her and Zhu Peng. How powerful could they be?
If everything she said was true, wouldn't that mean that Four Treasures Peak, just one peak of an Immortal Sect within the Eastern Wasteland, could rival the entire Eastern Border in terms of high-end combat power?
Even though they had seen Duo Duo and Zhu Peng demonstrate their abilities, and even witnessed Cao Zhen's invincibility, from the depths of their hearts, they still did not want to believe Duo Duo's words.
Duo Duo seemed to know that the crowd would react this way. She cleared her throat and continued to speak, "Among them, my eldest martial sister excels in rune techniques, the top runic master in the Eastern Wasteland. My second martial sister is unrivaled in sword techniques and also serves as a Law Enforcement Elder of the Law Enforcement Immortal Palace in our Hundred Peaks Sect. My third martial brother is the Inheritance Elder of our Hundred Peaks Sect."
Duo Duo paused for a moment before looking at the crowd and adding, "By the way, do you know about the Great Ability that is reincarnated? There are three reincarnated Great Abilities in our Eastern Wasteland nowadays. One of them had sparred with my third martial brother for several years. Initially, they were evenly matched, but later on, my third martial brother gradually gained the upper hand."
The surrounding crowd was stunned upon hearing this.
"Three reincarnated Great Abilities in the Eastern Wasteland?"
"Is she saying that there are three reincarnated Great Abilities right now? Surely all three haven't remained awake?"
Yang Yudong, sensing the implication in Duo Duo's words, asked in shock, "Are you implying that all three reincarnated Great Abilities in the Eastern Wasteland are present right now during the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth and that they are all at the Golden Core Stage?"
"Of course," Duo Duo nodded with certainty.
Upon hearing Duo Duo's affirmative response, the surrounding crowd burst into exclamations.
"The Eastern Wasteland actually has three reincarnated Great Abilities! And they are all still around!"
"In our Eastern Border, we don't even have one reincarnated Great Ability now!"
"Three reincarnated Great Abilities, this..."
"No, wait, if there are three reincarnated Great Abilities, then wouldn't that mean..."
"Her master is the first in the Eastern Wasteland; so, is he also a reincarnated Great Ability?"
The crowd turned their heads toward Cao Zhen.
Duo Duo, sensing the crowd's gaze, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, my master is indeed a reincarnated Great Ability."
Upon hearing this, the crowd did not express surprise again, but instead felt that it made sense.
"No wonder he is so terrifying. He is a reincarnated Great Ability!"
"But among the reincarnated Great Abilities, he must be extremely powerful. The reincarnated Great Ability of our Eastern Border did not reach the limit of the Golden Core Stage when he was at the Golden Core Stage!"
"So, he is a reincarnated Great Ability!"
The crowd instantly understood—no wonder his disciples were so strong; their master was a reincarnated Great Ability.
In an instant, the crowd thought of many things.
"If Peak Master Cao is this strong, then the other two reincarnated Great Abilities must not be much weaker than him."
"The Eastern Wasteland is too terrifying. Why did all the reincarnated Great Abilities go to the Eastern Wasteland?"
"Peak Master Cao is a reincarnated Great Ability and can cultivate so many outstanding disciples; what about the other two reincarnated Great Abilities? How many disciples have they cultivated?"
"Wait a minute, did you hear what she just said? She said, her third martial brother defeated a reincarnated Great Ability?"
"Defeated a reincarnated Great Ability, this..."
The crowd realised there was too much information contained in just a few words from Duo Duo.
"Strong enough to defeat a reincarnated Great Ability? How strong would that be?"
"Such a formidable person shouldn't be talking nonsense, right?"
"If her third martial brother can defeat a reincarnated Great Ability, doesn't that mean he is the second strongest in the Eastern Wasteland?"
As the crowd was marveling, Duo Duo's voice came again.
"My eldest martial sister is not much inferior to my third martial brother."
The people were shocked anew.
"What? Her eldest martial sister is almost on par with her third martial brother?"
"Doesn't that mean her eldest martial sister could also defeat a reincarnated Great Ability?"
"They said she is not much inferior, but still inferior, she couldn't be that strong."
"According to her, it seems her eldest martial sister is almost as strong as a reincarnated Great Ability?"
As the crowd buzzed with discussion and exclamations, Duo Duo's voice came once more, "Furthermore, I don't know how strong my fourth martial brother is. In certain situations, my fourth martial brother might even be stronger than my third martial brother!"
She wasn't exaggerating; her fourth martial brother possessed the cultivation base from the Wind Fire Tribulation, and indeed, he could freely undergo the Heavenly Tribulation and fight chaotically. In such moments, her fourth martial brother really might be stronger than her third martial brother.
"Someone who might be stronger than her third martial brother under certain conditions?"
"How come it sounds like all her martial brothers and sisters are on par with reincarnated Great Abilities?"
The crowd had become completely numb.
After a long silence, from within the crowd, Song Nianzhu, who had not spoken since her initial remark, finally addressed Cao Zhen after a lengthy silence, "So Peak Master Cao, what exactly brings you to our Eastern Border this time?"
