Chapter 369: Chapter 369

Xiao Jinting focused on his cultivation in the cabin. Occasionally, a soul force scanned the cabin furtively, as if trying to test something. Knowing it was Flying Hawk’s grandson, Xiao Jinting didn’t take it seriously.

“Stop scanning. What if he finds out?” Kong Que said.

“What are you afraid of? Grandfather says my soul force is extremely strong, much better than my peers. Although Xiao Jinting’s cultivation is a little higher than mine, his soul force can’t be stronger. He won’t discover it,” said Kong Fei.

Immortal Flying Hawk’s family was very good in fighting demonic beasts, and it required strong soul force to do that. Kong Fei was one of the most valued young men in the family, for his soul force was much stronger than ordinary Golden Cores.

Kong Que said disapprovingly, “Grandfather also says that among the strong, there are stronger ones. I heard that Xiao Jinting is not simple.”

“Not simple. Why?” Kong Fei asked curiously.

“He has three sons, and all of them are Golden Cores.”

“So his sons are powerful.”

“Not only are his sons powerful, but he is also very powerful. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the First Elder of Green Cloud Immortal Sect.”

“He was chosen because of luck. The Green Cloud Immortal Sect happened to be short of talents, and he took the chance.”

Kong Que was speechless.

Xiao Jinting listened to the conversation between Kong Fei and Kong Que and shook his head, getting back to his cultivation.

…

Xiao Jinting stopped the ship and stood on the deck, looking into the distance.

“What are you doing?” Kong Fei asked grumpily.

Xiao Jinting glanced at him and said, “Someone set up a killing array in front of us. I think we’d better bypass it.”

“A killing array? What are you talking about?” Kong Fei scanned around with his soul force and said, “There’s nothing ahead. Did you make a mistake?”

“You can’t see it, but it doesn’t mean that it is not there. It is very dangerous ahead, and we can’t go there.”

Kong Fei snorted softly and said, “My grandfather says that my soul force is the strongest among the Golden Cores. I say there is nothing. Keep going now.”

Xiao Jinting shook his head and said firmly, “No, we need to take a detour.”

“What do you mean? There is nothing wrong ahead. My grandfather will punish you if you cause so much trouble.”

Xiao Jinting glanced at Kong Fei and said, “I say it is dangerous. You want to die, but I don’t. I won’t go with you.”

Kong Fei said angrily, “You…”

Xiao Jinting and Kong Fei couldn’t convince each other. At this moment, Chen Lifeng and Immortal Flying Hawk came out.

“What’s up?” Chen Lifeng asked.

“I sense there is a killing array ahead, and I think we should go around it,” Xiao Jinting said.

Kong Fei glared at Xiao Jinting angrily and turned to Immortal Flying Hawk, “Grandfather, he just wants to show off. There is no killing array. He is trying to scare us.”

“It is Killing Array with Seventy-two Methods. Could there be the survivors of Sacred Sect?” Chen Lifeng scanned around with his soul force and then said with a solemn expression.

Immortal Flying Hawk turned grave.

Kong Fei saw their tense faces and turned pale.

“Grandfather, is there really a trap?” Kong Fei asked suspiciously.

“I’m surprised to see this array to appear again,” Immortal Flying Hawk muttered without replying.

“Grandfather, is there a trap? I can’t feel anything at all! “Kong Fei asked suspiciously.

Immortal Flying Hawk took an angry glance at Kong Fei and said grumpily, “Of course there is. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao sensed it in time. Otherwise, we might get killed if we plunged into the array.”

“Is it that serious?” Kong Fei muttered, unconvinced.

“It’s much more serious than you think.”

Immortal Flying Hawk took a look at Xiao Jinting and said, “Mr. Xiao, your soul force is very strong. The array is far away, but you sense it. If I don’t search hard, I might not find it. It seems that your soul force is as strong as mine.”

“Senior, you must be joking. How can I compare to you? I’m just more sensitive to killing arrays,” Xiao Jinting’s mind was in a whirl. Before they set off, Chen Lifeng said that someone would make use of the Nascent Soul Conference to kill Nascent Souls, but Xiao Jinting thought that he worried too much. Now, they encountered the killing array.

Immortal Flying Hawk’s words shocked Kong Fei, who glanced at Xiao Jinting with uncertainty.

“Mr. Xiao, you don’t have to be so humble. Your soul force is so strong that it would be much easier for you to cultivate the techniques of controlling demonic beasts.”

“That’s enough. Don’t praise him anymore. He will be too proud.” Chen Lifeng smiled.

Chen Lifeng was also shocked that Xiao Jinting could sense the array so quickly.

After he recovered from his shock, Chen Lifeng changed the topic. As the saying goes, “It’s the taller trees in the woods that get their tops blown off.” Xiao Jinting’s cultivation level was not high, so Chen Lifeng didn’t want him to attract too much attention. After all, Xiao Jinting was already outstanding.

Xiao Jinting changed the topic, “Mr. Chen, what is Scared Sect?”

Chen Lifeng sighed and slowly said, “Sacred Sect sounds like a righteous sect, but in fact it is a demonic sect. It was rampant tens of thousands of years ago. The cultivation method of this sect is very special, and they cultivate by absorbing corpse Qi. Many cultivators have become zombies after cultivating this method.”

Xiao Jinting was confused, “A zombie? It sounds terrible. Why do they cultivate this?”

“Because that can prolong their life,” Chen Lifeng said.
