Chapter 406: Chapter 406

Xiao Jinting glanced at Xu Muan and asked, “What do you think he is hiding from me?”

“Master Heavenly Lantern and Hermit Emei must have gone out on purpose. They might be trying to lure Sacred Sect to attack us. Their plan went well, and Sacred Sect did attack us, but…” Xu Muan shook his head helplessly and sneered.

Xiao Jinting smiled coldly. “Sacred Sect did launch an attack. Logically speaking, Master Heavenly Lantern and Hermit Emei should have come back. It’s a pity that none of them came back in time.”

Xu Muan frowned and felt annoyed. When the sect was attacked, Immortal Platanus must have contacted the monk and the nun, but they never showed up. These guys had gone too far. They excluded Xiao Jinting when they made the plan to lure the snake out of the hole.

…

Immortal Platanus cleaned up the battlefield with a grave face.

“Father, the monk and the nun haven’t come back yet,” Sun Miao said.

“Thankfully, Xiao Jinting came to our rescue. Otherwise, our sect would have been destroyed this time,” Immortal Platanus said with fear.

“The monk and the nun are not reliable,” Sun Miao said in confusion.

Immortal Platanus was displeased with them, but he didn’t complain. “I guess Sacred Sect held them up.”

“I didn’t expect Xiao Jinting to be so powerful as to beat the soul out of a Medium Nascent Soul. He is only a preliminary Nascent Soul,” Sun Miao said in admiration.

There was jealousy in Platanus’ eyes. “His magical weapon is very special. That lamp is peculiar.”

“Father, the Nascent Soul of Sacred Sect said that the flame of the lamp was supernatural,” Sun Miao said excitedly.

“The power of the fire is extraordinary. It could be a supernatural fire, or the Heavenly Flame, which was the first flame in the beginning of the world. It doesn’t go off and keeps burning until now. I remember that Heavenly Flame and Fire Yang Lamp complement each other. Xiao Jinting’s magical weapon might be the combination of both.”

Sun Miao pursed his lips, her eyes burning. “That lamp is an amazing treasure.”

Immortal Platanus looked at Sun Miao and said, “It is amazing, but it is coveted.”

Sun Miao lowered his head in embarrassment. “I wonder where Xiao Jinting got this magical weapon. That weird puppet that attacked Immortal Skeleton at the end is a Nascent Soul puppet.”

Immortal Platanus nodded. “Xiao Jinting is not simple. He even has a Nascent Soul puppet. No wonder he advanced to Nascent Soul at such a young age. From the look of him, he might have guessed that we excluded him in the plan of luring Sacred Sect out. I wonder if he holds grudges against us.”

Sun Miao hesitated for a moment and said, “This is not your decision, Father. The monk and the nun decided not to tell him.”

Sun Miao thought, “The monk and the nun slight Xiao Jinting, who came out and rescued us at the crucial moment.”

“Ancestor, Master Heavenly Lantern and Hermit Emei have come back. Both of them are injured.” A Golden Core cultivator came in and said.

…

Xu Muan entered the bedroom and said, “The monk and the nun are back.”

Xiao Jinting ate the food and tilted his head, “They come back so late. Their efficiency is very low.”

“Yeah, they are irresponsible,” Xu Muan said disdainfully.

“It seems that I have exposed too many things in the battle,” Xiao Jinting said.

Xu Muan’s face suddenly darkened. “Immortal Platanus seems to like your magical weapon a lot.”

Xiao Jinting shook his head and said, “It’s normal for him to be jealous, but with the example of Immortal Skeleton, he doesn’t have the guts.”

“That’s right,” Xu Muan agreed. Immortal Platanus was only a preliminary Nascent Soul, far inferior to Xiao Jinting.

“The Tripod of Heaven and Earth is extraordinary. A random magical weapon from it has such power. No wonder the cultivators in Nebula long for it,” Xu Muan said.

“Indeed. The tripod was from the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel. There are three more floors above the ninth floor, and I wonder what’s there,” Xiao Jinting said longingly.

Xu Muan looked at Xiao Jinting and said, “Take your time. It is decades away before the tower opens again.”

Xiao Jinting nodded, “Yeah!”

He thought he had to go to Nebula again in the future. Thinking of Long Xue and Fu Li, his excitement instantly cooled down. He was not strong enough to go there yet.
