Chapter 343: Chapter 343

Long Xue kept searching for Xiao Jinting with her soul force in vain, her eyes blood red.

“He has disappeared,” Fu Li said with disappointment.

He had been confident to catch Xiao Jinting, but he could only watch him disappear under his nose. He was furious.

Long Xue looked back at Cao He and the others, who were rushing over, and she was enraged.

Cao He and the others saw Long Xue’s murderous expression, afraid that she might hurt them, and they stayed away from her.

“Something is wrong!” Cao He said.

Xie Cheng nodded and said, “Yeah. Generally speaking, an ordinary Golden Core at the advanced level could only use five or six long-distance teleportation talismans in a row.” Using long-distance teleportation talismans consumed a lot of soul force. In Xie Cheng’s case, he could only use ten such talismans at one time. However, Xiao Jinting had used more than that.

“There are a lot of pills to replenish the spiritual power, but it is difficult to replenish the exhausted soul force. Could Xiao Jinting’s soul force rival that of a Nascent Soul?” Miao Qing said.

“Where did he get so many random teleportation talismans?” Xie Cheng asked in confusion.

Cao He frowned and suddenly thought of something. He immediately took out a transmission talisman and contacted the Cao family. Xie Cheng and Miao Qing followed suit when they saw him do that.

Cao He’s message took his family by surprise. However, they started to follow his instruction without delay and searched for Xu Muan with all their resources.

Almost at the same time, the Xie family and Miao family made the same move. The three great families of the Business Alliance dispatched all their people out, and it seemed like a storm was coming.

At the Ye house.

“What has Xiao Jinting done?” Ye Jinlan looked at the reward poster in her hand.

Ye Shengxue shrugged and said, “I don’t know. The three major families in the alliance have offered rewards for capturing Xiao Jinting. He has made a big commotion.”

“Not only the humans but also the demonic beasts have posted rewards to track down Xiao Jinting. Grandmother, what does Grandfather say?”

Ye Shengxue shook her head and said, “Your grandfather only went to the seventh floor and didn’t get in touch with those Nascent Souls.”

Ye Jinlan was confused. “What exactly happened?”

Ye Shengxue said indifferently, “Even though those big shots are hiding it, it’s easy to guess. Xiao Jinting is chased by them, so he must have such an extraordinary treasure on him that those big shots are tempted. The treasure on the ninth floor should have been taken by Xiao Jinting.”

Ye Jinlan asked suspiciously, “Is it… possible?”

“What else do you think?” Ye Shengxue asked.

Ye Jinlan thought about it and said, “I thought that Xu Muan likes to stir up troubles. I didn’t expect Xiao Jinting to be worse than Xu Muan.”

“Xu Muan is smart. Previously, he showed up every other month, but now he is quiet. Does he know Xiao Jinting will cause a big trouble?” Ye Shengxue said.

Ye Jinlan pondered. It was possible.

…

After finally shaking off the Nascent Souls, Xiao Jinting changed his countenance and sneaked in a restaurant.

He wished to meet up with Xu Muan as soon as possible, but he did not dare to go directly because the journey was long. He could only take his time.

In the restaurant, several cultivators sat together and gossiped in a low voice.

“Recently, both the humans and demonic beasts are looking for Xiao Jinting. Who exactly is he?”

“Xiao Jinting is not famous. The most impressive thing he did before was to help the Ye family secure the seat in the Business Alliance.”

“I heard that Xiao Jinting is only a Golden Core cultivator. Why do the humans and demonic beasts try to track him down?”

“You guys don’t know this, right? I have first-hand inside information.”

“What is it?”

“Xiao Jinting was so bold that he made a pass at Long Xue.”

Xiao Jinting was straining his ears to the conversation at the next table, and he almost spat out the tea after he heard the so-called inside information.

Making a pass at Long Xue? This cultivator thought too highly of him. Long Xue was a powerful and ferocious female devil, who killed people like flies. When he saw her, his legs went soft. How could he make a pass at her?

“What are you talking about? Long Xue is at the advanced level of Nascent Soul. It is said that this female devil was famous for killing people as she likes. How dare Xiao Jinting make a pass at her? Besides, he is a Golden Core, and Long Xue will easily kill him if he dares to grope her.”

“You have no idea how amazing the Tower of Babel is. Spiritual power can’t be used on the eighth floor, so Xiao Jinting found the opportunity to take advantage of her.”

“Let me tell you this. The demonic beasts are tracking down Xiao Jinting because he boldly made a pass at Long Xue. The Nascent Souls of the Business Alliance help Long Xue chase Xiao Jinting because they want to please her. Otherwise, why do you think so many people are looking for Xiao Jinting?”

Xiao Jinting rolled his eyes. That cultivator was telling a groundless story with confidence.

“What about Fu Li? I heard that he is looking for Xiao Jinting too.”

“Fu Li has been pursuing Long Xue for a long time, but he hasn’t got anywhere. Now that Xiao Jinting took advantage of Long Xue, do you think Fu Li would let him off easily?”

The other cultivators nodded their agreement when the cultivator in yellow told a plausible story.

Xiao Jinting rolled his eyes. Long Xue was a Flood Dragon with born strength, exceptionally strong even if she couldn’t use her spiritual power. Although she looked pretty, she was fierce. How could he dare to take advantage of her?

“Xiao Jinting is so bold that he dares to make a pass at Long Xue.”

“Of course. It’s worthwhile to die for a beauty. Long Xue has a noble bloodline. He should die without any regrets after he kissed her.”

Xiao Jinting held his forehead and thought, “Friend, you slander Long Xue like this. Aren’t you afraid that she will kill you?”
